User talk:Ken.nihart

Hi Ken.nihart -- we are excited to have Disgaea Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Greetings!
I'm PanSola, a helper on Wikia Gaming stuff. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming-related wiki, and see if there is anything I can help a fellow Wikian with. I have been an admin on the GuildWiki for quite a while, and have hung around a number of different wikis. So if you need help with any thing, don't hesitate to ask!

Some stuff of note:
 * Logo - If you need help making logos for your wiki, you can ask for help at this forum thread.
 * For the quartz skins (default skin that most people sees) you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to Image:Wiki_wide.png.
 * For the monobook skin a number of users prefer to use, you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to Image:Wiki.png.
 * There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming .  Different people may be on sporadically, but I'm organizing weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask/answer questions, or just to hang out.  The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (WoW, Halo) often attend them.  You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

If you happen to be technologically-adventurous, I can also help you with handy tools that can enrich the formatting and organization of the wiki such as templates, parser functions, and various MediaWiki extensions.

Again, if you have any question for anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me! -PanSola 21:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Check out the monaco skin!
Wikia has a new skin called Monaco, you can take a look at. I've done some customization for the MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar, and you can find more info on customizing it at w:c:Inside:Monaco Skin Customization. If you like the skin, you can set it to be the site's default by going to Special:Preferences, click on the "skin" tab, and scroll to the very bottom. BTW, thanks for filling out the survey! -User:PanSola(talk/history) 00:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Logo
Hi there, good work with the wiki so far!!! I noticed that you don't have logos for the wiki yet. If you need help making them, you can ask for help at this forum thread. Let me know if you have any questions! -PanSola 09:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * For the quartz skins (default skin that most people sees) and monaco skins (newest skin in development) you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to [[Image:Wiki_wide.png]].
 * For the monobook skin a number of users prefer to use, you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to [[Image:Wiki.png]].

There is a Disgaea 1, ya know.
I'm new here (since this morning, actually) but I'm no stranger to Wikis. I was just commenting on how you put a lot of things that are in both games under only the 2nd game's category, such as Item World. You may be a specialist on Disgaea 2, but it doesn't mean that the things were not in 1. You may already know this and were not aware, but I would like to addres you about it. But seeing as you're last edit was in March, you may never see this. Oh well.--Mucho mas35 21:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Disgaea wiki
Hi there. I noticed that you were the founder of this wiki. A few users, including myself, have recently taken an interest in this wiki. At the moment, it's in state of great disarray, so I've drawn up a list of things to improve. Unfortunately, this means rewriting a lot of the wiki as it is now. As the only admin on this wiki (are you still active?), I'd really appreciate it if you could comment on this scheme. Thanks, and I hope we can work together to improve the wiki ^_^. &mdash; Yuan <font color="#00BFFF">Saluto!<font color="#1E90FF">Acta 11:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Translation to other languages?
Oh hai. Is it fine to translate this wiki to russian @ ru.disgaea.wikia.com?
