Artemis Fowl:Free Talk

This is the Artemis Fowl Wiki's Free Talk page. It is used to talk about changes to the wiki, or other things. Please do not use this page to discuss the books or off-topic things; use the Forums. First archive

MediaWiki

Since no one really goes on the MediaWiki talk namespace, I'll just put it here. I think that this page (Artemis Fowl:Free Talk) should be put on the sidebar, and that Current events should be taken off it, as it is not used. I also think that Special:Recentchanges, and maybe Special:Watchlist should be put on the navlinks. This can't really be done by any user on the wiki yet though, since there aren't any (active) administrators. Template:Signatures/C Teng 23:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. —C Teng^(talk) 20:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and it would make it easier to find the talk main page for new editors.

Wiki logos

We need new logos for the wiki. We've had the same default ones for three years. I may request the logos, but we'll need some ideas on what they will look like. —C Teng^(talk) 12:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Default skin

We should decide on a default skin for the wiki. For a list of skins go to Special:Preferences#prefsection-1. —C Teng^(talk) 13:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Why? What's the point of a default skin, unless it's Artemis Fowl related? Abbacus 14:27, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Because visitors without Wikia accounts will see our wiki without a skin, which will look bad. DarthBlurrr^{(I Am the Chosen One)} 20:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Though the defalt skin would make the site look nice but we don't really need it because we are all enthusiasts of the Artemis Fowl novels and it shouldn't matter what it looks like.Sprody 02:22, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Butler brigade

I propose that we make a group of editors dedicated to protecting the articles from vandalism, (similar to that of a WikiProject on Wikipedia), and since the group is dedicated to protecting, I figured we'd call it the Butler brigade. What do you think?Fairfieldfencer FFF 15:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Eh, this place is so small, it's not too much of a target (although we did have a vandal article "poop" a while back, and none of the two admins were active). An admin won't find vandalism too hard to find. If this place gets on featured wiki, however, we may need to be careful. Jedibob5 23:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll take that as a "maybe."Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with both of you, it is not that needed, but we should be ready if it does happen. GnommishGirl1212 14:59, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that we should create a band of body gards to protect this spectacular wiki from people who are not an enthusiast of the book. So if they end up making a butler brigade please count me in (send me a massage)Sprody 02:15, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Is there any other way to become a Featured Wiki?

Since I suppose we can only become a Featured Wiki though popular vote or superior admins' permission, is it aiming too high to say that we should just give up hope on the issue?

Well, if we advertise it on the wiki long enough, we may get it. —C Teng^(talk) 21:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

A test page has been created; see it here. —C Teng^(talk) 01:02, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Our Wiki's Icon/Logo

Possibility #1

Possibility #2

Possibility #2 revised

Possibility #3

I've seen talk pages going back years discussing the issue of, well, a lack of a logo on this site :oD! I've taken it upon myself to create a possible logo, but you get to decide. I think it will really make the Artemis Fowl wiki a little better to have a picture where that generic "wikia" pic is now. To see my past versions of my suggested logos, you can go to User talk:C Teng.

I really think we need a logo. Your design is the best presented yet (of course, it's also the only concrete design yet)! I love it :-)! It has simplicity but it also has something about it that I like. If we need ta, we can just get C Teng to re-do something or something like that. (Thanks for the info about that whole thing on my talk page, Howds.) Holly Short 04:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Ooo! The second one's my favorite so far! I like it because it's really detailed but it still looks cool. Kinda like a safari theme :)! Holly Short 19:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I enjoy the second one. It fits better and looks better than the first one. —Excelsior, The Flash - ^{(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!)} 03:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I think we should use the first because it is not from the graphic novel and everyone has there own opinion about what Artemis Fowl looks like.Sprody 02:17, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Villians category

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but there's a typo on the Villians title... I'ts spelled Villains

Can anyone edit that? If it's allright, I'm going to start spell-checking the categories in the different character pages :)

And also, it would be really awesome if we can get one of those logos up! Please xD

LunaSol 00:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the Villains category is spelled correctly.

Actually it wasn't, which is why I posted a message about it. As you can see http://artemisfowl.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Villians But I see that the situation is under control =) LunaSol 21:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Humans Category

Most of the categories we have are named in plural, but not the Human category. Wouldn't it be good if it was also names Humans? Might not be such a big deal, but it's a bit annoying and confusing a times. Also the Article and Organization categories could go plural as well =) LunaSol 20:57, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Name of the Site

I was reading, as were all the huge AF fans on the UK e-mail list for the Artemis Fowl website, the first chapter of the Atlantis Complex. In it, a fairy on-line database--resemblant of Wikipedia--called "Wicca-pedia". I supposed that this was the perfect opportunity to rename this wiki. What do you guys think?

That's not a bad idea.Fairfieldfencer FFF 20:45, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agreeSprody 02:19, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Quote of the week

The most recent quote of the week has been on the site for more than a week.

Just so you know,

Thankyou, Sprody 09:32, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The main page has been practically unchanged ever since this wiki's admins became inactive, and I don't know how to change it. Sorry. :/ ಠ_ಠ Waddle D33 _{(Talk • Contribs)} 20:22, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, just putting it out there.Sprody 05:07, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
