:Maybe it's a cache thing, but I didn't see the new logo until I logged in. I got the wowwiki one. {{User:Howbizr/sign}} 07:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 07:17, 21 October 2010

Forums: Village pump → Welcome to the new Wowpedia!

Welcome, everyone, to the new site! We're glad you decided to join us. I hope you are settling in well - there's a few tweaks here and there left to be made (and feel free to help edit away stuff that doesn't look right), but mostly it should work like a charm. If you haven't yet, head over to reclaim your WoWWiki username. If you need (or want) an account rename or merge or have any other problems, let us know.

Now, a few details about the move: We are being hosted by Curse. They are very excited to be working with us and we should see some nice improvements (tooltips auto-updated from Sigrie and the like) coming down the road. They are doing this ad-free (nice change from Wikia, huh?), at least for a few months. We did have a few other options - some of them very tempting - but the Curse option just clicked (and we had to move fast with Wikia shoving a skin down our throats).

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 23:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

A big thank you to Curse, then, for being so awesome.
Can someone make a Firefox search plugin for this site? That was a feature back on Wikia that was very useful. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 00:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Created. Enjoy! Ressy (talk) 00:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 00:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I migrated my username over, but I only see my contributions before October. I'm assuming the wowwiki transfer hasn't completed yet? Will there be a status update on how much has transferred or when both wikis are synced up? --Kanegasi (talk) 01:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
The actual edits are in, they're just not showing up in your contributions - and if there is an edit we missed somehow, feel free to go ahead and add it. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 01:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Cool, thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on my previous edits. I would also like to note that for some reason, I always have the habit of clicking the top logo of a site since that is the most common way to get to the homepage. This new wiki makes that minor habit work a lot better since the top logo on wikia brings you to wikia, not wowwiki. I wasn't really bothered to think of my stance about the transfer issue, but since wikia just rolled out their new look and seeing the way this site feels, I do believe you have not made anything remotely close to a bad decision. To add to the awesomeness, I am an avid Curse user and they are the only way I maintain my addons. Awesome job, and keep up the good work! --Kanegasi (talk) 04:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I changed mi nick from wowwiki since I always use this in my wow comunities. Is there any possibility to migrate my stats to this one?. btw oh fuck yeah, love this skin. --Petrovic
Please edit your WoWWiki user page on WoWWiki to point to your account here. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 04:19, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Done. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 04:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Will Curse take any part in the management, or are they giving carte blanche to you guys as the original admins? --Joshmaul (talk) 01:52, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

They're pretty much going hands-off. They are helping us with getting everything set up as well as press and the working with Sigrie stuff I mentioned but that's about it. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 01:54, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

This actually is better than the other. Uses full width of one's monitor! And tooltips will be great! --Tsavi (talk) 02:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

It would probably be a good idea to throw some kind of notification onto the WoW Forums, at least in General and UI forums. I would have done it myself, but I figured the website admins would want the honor. --DrDoom (talk) 04:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Just wanna say, love the new site, I wasn't interested in getting involved with the fight with wikia but having seen what they've done and what has been done here, I am more then happy with the way everything turned out. Congratulations on all the hard work everyone put in to make this so smooth, very much appreciated. Max Krist (talk) 05:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
