Talk:Age of Empires Series Wiki

Wikicity Merge
Shouldn't this wikicity be moved into the GameInfo wikicity?

--This game series is to big for one general game wiki.-Heradite

"Races">"Civilizations"
There are no "races" in Age of Empires-they're called "civilizations". I suggest changing every mention of "race" into the proper "civilization"; I would do so myself, but I can't edit page names, where an admin can. Whenever this is done, I will go about uploading various civilization attributes and bonuses-I've been playing AOE2 like no one's business lately.
 * I agree.. "Races" makes it sound like they're different species... Albanian F 21:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello
My name is Aron Skywalker, and I'm a frequent user of wikipedia and its many wikis.

Currently, I am a user on the Star Wars wiki, and Admin on the prison break wiki and hopefully soon to be starting up my own wiki. I have a habit of finding bad condition wikis and transforming them into, at least decent, wikis. As I did with the prison break wiki I helped pioneer a change around in that wiki's articles and general appearance so I hope to do the same here. I am a big fan of AOE, So let me know where I can help because I'm gonna be around on this site for some time. Feel free to post me a message.

Well I'm someone who uses wikipedia often, but has never edited. Is there any topic in this wiki where i could help out? Anuragsahay 15:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Capital Confusion
I'm making redirects, and I just found out that capitalization matters when searching an article (EG: aoe3 links and AoE3 does not)... could somebody change this? Thanks, Albanian F 21:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC).

Wikia Gaming footer
Hello! I went ahead and added a Wikia Gaming footer to the bottom of the Main Page. We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, so you can remove it if you really hate it, but it would be appreciated if you didn't :). You can change the links to point to any other wikia wikis you like or cooperate with.

Who is Editing?
Am I the only one who edits constantly? Why isn't anyone else editing?

If anyone is listening I think the wiki is good enough to have a featured article now.

Need a fun map???
If anybody cares to read this, I will take suggestions for scenarios(self-created maps). It can be anything you want. Just leave you ideas here and i will turn them into completely playable masterpieces.

Main Page design
Hullo! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I have a suggestion to make regarding the Main Page. You may be interested in stealing some code from the Wikia Starter wiki which is the current new wiki base design. It makes content a bit easier to add and is easily expanded. If you would like me to work on it, just leave a message on my talk page, and I'll see what I can do! Kirkburn (talk) 20:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Further to the above, I have create a version on User:Kirkburn/Dev. I think it's pretty cool as it has a more consistent design, more space for info and gets links to articles on the Main Page. Much easier for users to navigate than an unsorted list of articles and redirects.
 * Any feedback or opinions? I'll implement if not with some more tweaks. Kirkburn (talk) 23:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Done some more work on it and implemented. Hope it is to your satisfaction! Kirkburn (talk) 19:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

New Picture
If anyone wants to know what Wiki wide.png is change your prefrences to slate or something like it and look at the top left hand corner of the page.

Age of Mythology Wiki
I don't know if anyone else knows it, but there is a wiki called the Age of Mythology Wiki that has info about the game and it's expansion. Should the Age of Empires Wiki stop writing detailed info on the games? A good reply whould be great.

--Son of the Witch-King 22:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Stop I say stop writing about AoM. I don't know why this place was doing it in the first place, though I can understand that there is a link between AoE and AoM, being similar-ish games. There isn't much crossover between the games and it does seem a little weird to feature it here. If we do continue then perhaps a name change is in order, but that's a lot of effort. Maybe getting in contact and communicating with AoM community and working together somehow would be better.--Jonru 08:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

We might take a vote, but there isn't much active contributors in the wiki s it might not help. But if the wiki stops writing AOM info should the wiki delete things such as Mummy or Age of Mythology?

--Son of the Witch-King 22:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A vote sounds good. I've done some structuring work on the AoM wiki and could develop it further, mainly through the use of AoM Heaven. I would think moving the pages which only relate to Age of Mythology to the AoM wiki but retain any info related to AoE, if there is any. We might want to leave the Age of Mythology article there to give a link across, but also to write about how it was a spin off etc. As for the Age of Kings thing, we may as well merge with them as there are no more than 10 or 15 useful articles there, most of which we don't have ironically.--Jonru 08:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
