Questions

Is maplewiki going to post all the hidden streets in maplestory?I know quite a few so i could start a new guide if you want me to.

That would be great if you wish to do so --Oh.My.Goose. 18:15, 21 March 2006 (CST)

That would be great if you could. :) --- Rapta 18:17, 21 March 2006 (CST)

I want to get started on creating a guide here, where do I go to create a new page? Kiyobi 17:34, 26 March 2006 (CST)

Simply type the name of your article in the search box, press enter, click on the red link to start the article, and begin! --Champion911 18:55, 26 March 2006 (CST)

What about the table of contents? How do I make that? Kiyobi 19:57, 26 March 2006 (CST)

Well, if you put headers for each section of the article ( =text here= would be the biggest header, ===text here=== would be the smallest header), it will automatically create a table of contents for you. However, if the article does not have enough heading to automatically create one, you can manually make one by putting the code __TOC__ at the top of the page. I hope this helps. --Champion911 20:05, 26 March 2006 (CST)

All right, thanks a lot Champion911. Kiyobi 20:33, 26 March 2006 (CST)

Scratch what was here before. But I got a different question: How do you make more User pages?

You do Userpage:(UserName)/(Title of User Sub Page) For example, if you linked to one of my sub user articles, you'd do this: User:EliteJeff/Published Articles

Suggestions

I would like to suggest this wiki merge with the MapleStory wiki at maplestory.wikia.com. Unlike this one, which has many distracting image ads, and enforces users to log in (which will discourage many good editors), the one at Wikia uses only one block of text-based ads along the right hand side, which I'm sure you'll find an improvement. The MapleStory wiki is run by Wikia, which is a company created by myself and the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales. All wikis are hosted for free at Wikia, and the content is available under the GFDL, making it compatible with the articles at Wikipedia.

I can't find who is actually responsible for this wiki, but it would be great if that person could contact me about whether Wikia could host this site, rather than having two separate wikis on the same topic.

If you want to start editing at maplestory.wikia.com, please go ahead. Alternatively, contact me about how we could actually merge the two wikis. I can e contacted by email (angela at wikia.com) if you have any questions about Wikia, or if you want to request adminship on that wiki.

Well, I don't really see what the point of merging the two wikis. This wiki only recently got ads, and probably only for funding reasons. That wiki only has 5 articles, so it would be next to useless combining the two wikis together. Also, that wiki may not require a login to edit (which has its advantages) but this also encourage more vandals. If it were my decision, I would most likely not merge these two wikis together. However, i'm not the owner of this site, so it may be better to contact him. --Champion911 08:44, 26 April 2006 (CDT)
