Also, I think the import caused a big jump in the job queue for the wiki. You can see it on the [[Special:Statistics]] page. It has been steadily going down, as one is processed each time a page is requested by someone. If you notice that any categories are not quite up to date, that might be the reason, as it takes mediawiki a little while to update all of the links etc. --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] 09:23, 29 October 2010 (CDT) | Also, I think the import caused a big jump in the job queue for the wiki.

== New Enemy Template == | |||
Hello Zenitihian. I am proposing a revamp to the current enemy template. | |||
Honestly, I think the current template is quite ugly. It's at a weird angle, it's intruding on pages, and it doesn't show information in an attractive and organized way as well as it could. I tried to make a suitable replacement [[User:SilverCrono/Sandbox|here]]. | |||
You may notice that this will clog up space in pages with multiple templates and appearances. That's alright, I have a solution to that too. I would gladly break up the pages, making a separate page for each appearance and having the existing page a sort of "parent" page, linking and describing all individual entities. I would, again, gladly do all this myself. It's a big workload, but I have no life. :P | |||
So, what do you think? I hope this doesn't bother or irritate you, especially my dreams of grandeur. Thank you for your time. --[[User:SilverCrono|'''Silversey''']] [[User talk:SilverCrono|'''シルバーロック''']] 21:03, 10 December 2010 (CST) |

Feel free to leave me a note. Zenithian 13:42, 19 February 2010 (EST)
First Note
I had been looking into making something like this and then I found your project. This is awesome! I have been playing DW/DQ since I got my copy from Nintendo Power :D I use wikipedia all of the time but this is the first time I've ever created content so please feel free to let me know if I am doing anything wrong. I wasn't sure if this is even where I am supposed to leave a note. Geminate
cite.php
Hi, I'm new here, and I was hoping to clean up some of the pages. Do you think you could possibly install the extension cite.php? It really makes pages with a lot of references look nicer, like Dragon Quest IX for example. It's used extensively on Wikipedia, so it is not likely to break your wiki at all. --Null Set 02:22, 3 March 2010 (EST)
Trouble logging in
It says I am logged in but it won't let me make any edits, giving me this error. edit: Of course as soon as I go to mention it, it stops happening... --Null Set 14:13, 3 March 2010 (EST)
Wiki Name
Yeah, I think Dragon Quest Wiki is what we should go with for now. Mediawiki has a magic word for the name of the wiki, so in the future if you use {{SITENAME}}, it will fill in the current name for you.
I also added a bunch of extensions this morning which I think will be useful in the future. You can see them all at Special:Version. --FlyingRagnar 11:18, 18 October 2010 (CDT)
A Few Notes
Hey Zenithian, I wanted to mention a few things. Looks like most of the members from Wikia have come over. This is really cool. I was worried that many might not. Melios and Shinitenshi (sp?) are both good editors that have done a lot in the last few months. PantheonSasuke was an admin over on Wikia. I would consider making him and admin over as well. He is very knowledgeable about all of the monsters and did a lot of file renaming, etc. I think normal users can only do a limited number of file/page renames within a certain amount of time.
Also, I think the import caused a big jump in the job queue for the wiki. You can see it on the Special:Statistics page. It has been steadily going down, as one is processed each time a page is requested by someone. If you notice that any categories are not quite up to date, that might be the reason, as it takes mediawiki a little while to update all of the links etc. --FlyingRagnar 09:23, 29 October 2010 (CDT)
New Enemy Template
Hello Zenitihian. I am proposing a revamp to the current enemy template.
Honestly, I think the current template is quite ugly. It's at a weird angle, it's intruding on pages, and it doesn't show information in an attractive and organized way as well as it could. I tried to make a suitable replacement here.
You may notice that this will clog up space in pages with multiple templates and appearances. That's alright, I have a solution to that too. I would gladly break up the pages, making a separate page for each appearance and having the existing page a sort of "parent" page, linking and describing all individual entities. I would, again, gladly do all this myself. It's a big workload, but I have no life. :P
