There is a new program, per the forums, called Freedom Freebies.  That is what the tri-corner hat is a part of... so it totally isn't a "sale item that happens to be 100% off."  As such, I propose changing the name of the Freebie Friday article and adding Historical to note the change in name.  {{User:Thirty7/Sig}} 06:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
  
In regards to the information that I added to Ex Libris' page. What hostile wording? I simply wrote the exact truth. Since when is that hostile?

That is why I put "hostile" in single quotes. It's not hostile, it's 'hostile'. We don't care too much about the circumstances of former developers and community folk, especially whether they get fired. Just a comment that they worked there works sufficiently. ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 04:22, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

:[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] wouldn't DREAM of taking it down so long as he is able to keep it around (and I can picture him taking the physical servers with him to a bunker in case of nuclear holocaust). TonyV is mustering the troops in order to help ensure the survival of the game in one form or another (private server, or somesuch). As such, the Wiki will clearly still have a purpose in that.

:Although english is my native language, I honestly don't understand the difference between "hostile" and 'hostile'. I don't believe that my wording was in any way hostile, I simply want to add factual information and retain the same writing style as the original paragraph. I offer this version as a compromise:

Would you mind an opinion on the [[Animation Customization]] article? There isn't really much of anything similar I can base it off of, so I've just been going with the best I can think of to flesh it out. Also, do you know how to, or do you know who else I could ask to, make animated .gifs for that page similar to how [[Emotes]]'s linked pages are (mostly) done?

Regarding the release notes at http://tinyurl.com/ycjylsu, if I read that correctly, those changes have only been deployed to the test server, meaning that the bug is still present on the live servers.  We should probably leave the bug note in the article until the fix goes live, shouldn't we? --[[User:Eabrace|Eabrace]] [[File:Healthbar notify phone.png|20px|link=User talk:Eabrace]] 21:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

:If you want to get technical, we should change the merit rewards to 24, and note that the bug that is making the rewards so low will be fixed in a future build, and that the merit award will then be 42. ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 21:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

::I would agree that sounds like the correct action.  (I'd originally read the patch note backwards thinking that it was currently awarding 42 and should be awarding 24, but I think I've got it right now.) --[[User:Eabrace|Eabrace]] [[File:Healthbar notify phone.png|20px|link=User talk:Eabrace]] 23:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Overview ==
+
 
+
There are a buttload of pages on the wiki without a section titled "Overview", so I'm not really sure where this guideline comes from. After your post on my talk page, I did look around for (and eventually managed to find) the [[Paragon Wiki:Article Guidelines|Article Guidelines]] page, but it wasn't an obvious find. And even then, it's a ginle sentence buried in a page of guidelines, with the only reference being a post from [[User:TonyV|TonyV]] on the Paragon Forums.
+
 
+
I hit Random Page a few times just now, and of the pages that weren't disambiguation pages, or tiny things that aren't really articles (such as the individual Emote pages), I found about a 1:1 ratio of pages with and without '''''<nowiki>== Overview ==</nowiki>'''''.
+
 
+
I guess my point is twofold:
+
# The guidelines aren't obviously found, at least in my experience. Since joining, I've been working off of common sense and what I see throughout the rest of the wiki.
+
# I don't understand the need or reason for this specific guideline, particularly when half the articles I look at don't follow it.

Freedom Freebies

There is a new program, per the forums, called Freedom Freebies. That is what the tri-corner hat is a part of... so it totally isn't a "sale item that happens to be 100% off." As such, I propose changing the name of the Freebie Friday article and adding Historical to note the change in name. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 06:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

What Now?

So, with CoX coming to an end, what are we going to do with Paragonwiki? Is it going to remain here for historical purposes, or is it going to be taken down? - Fescu 01:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

TonyV wouldn't DREAM of taking it down so long as he is able to keep it around (and I can picture him taking the physical servers with him to a bunker in case of nuclear holocaust). TonyV is mustering the troops in order to help ensure the survival of the game in one form or another (private server, or somesuch). As such, the Wiki will clearly still have a purpose in that. The newest addition to the News page (and main page) helps to direct you were to go if you want to help. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 12:06, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Circle of Thorn

Out of curiosity, is there a way to see what common search terms are? I ask more out of curiosity than anything else. Felderburg 04:06, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

No, but if *I* have searched without the 's' a few times, I'm pretty sure other people have too. :) ~ AGGE talk/cons 04:26, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
I often add a re-direct if I do a search for something logical and don't get what I thought I would. Honestly, there should be a ton MORE pages like Circle of Thorn. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 04:30, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Ouro Portal

I know I have been out of the loop around here, and on the Titan Network in general since the closure... but I just happened to notice that none of the files from here are being shared to Ouro? Is this intentional or due to some sort of oversight? I figured asking you would be the best way to go since you were always pretty involved over there too. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 19:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Fixt! Sekoia gave the repository a little kick and now PWiki is properly sharing its toys with OWiki again. ~ AGGE talk/cons 19:40, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Wip -> Incomplete

Sorry. I'll try to use Incomplete more often, I guess. What is the proper protocol for each template? Felderburg 04:20, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

WIP should, technically, only be used for works that are "in progress" - honestly, most of the pages currently marked wip should be marked incomplete instead, but that template didn't exist until shut-down. ~ AGGE talk/cons 04:40, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
