Welcome
Hi, welcome to Walking Dead Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Glenn page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Deftonesjunkie3 (Talk) 15:34, April 22, 2010

re:collapsible templates
Sounds good. I was looking into that, but my coding skills are limited. Unfortunately, those links are blocked at my work. I can do it after I'm done at work, or if you wanna post the needed code under my talk page, I can do it now. Thanks for the help! Do you have experience coding other things on wiki? I've been trying to get a background image like on Lostpedia, but can't get it to work. If you can help improve the aesthetics of the site, I'll give you admin access. --Deftonesjunkie3 18:22, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it's been implemented. I noticed all you stuff was gone for a minute too...very weird.

The background image I was trying to load is here:

Thanks again for the help. Look forward to seeing the nav boxes. --Deftonesjunkie3 19:21, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I will look at it tonight, should be done tonight. Anno1404 19:22, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

admin access
I gave you admin access because I think you are really helping a lot already, and now you can implement all these things easily. Deftonesjunkie3 20:22, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

disclaimer
I've been following the standards put forth on Lostpedia. They seem to be the most successful wiki through wikia, so I just want to follow their model. They do have a disclaimer at the bottom, and while I'm not opposed to there being no disclaimer, I also want to be as legitimate as possible considering we are dealing with copyrighted work. Your thoughts?

Thanks again for all the help. The background image looks awesome. I feel the light stone texture is a bit distracting though when reading articles.

re:update
Yeah, everything is looking great. The only thing was the stone textures. The problem i have with them is the yellow tint. Maybe take them into photoshop or gimp and desaturate them so they are gray scale. It would fit the mood and theme better, but still give it some texture. If you don't know how this is done, send me a link to the image, and I can do it (I use photoshop at work).

I agree with you on the baby blue. Again, I was just using Lostpedia as a model because I'm still learning a lot of how everything works...it's been a lot of trial and error! I'm glad you have knowledge on all this as I've been the only one implementing any aesthetic properties.

Lastly, thanks for the compliment on my writing. I've been so busy with trying to organize the site that I haven't found time to write up synopses, but with your help, I might be able to get back on that (that's what I would prefer to do).

Oh and the disclaimer, I might just be paranoid. I just want everything to be on the up and up when it comes to fair use. I see the images you uploaded are really high quality. With your experience with wikis, have you seen that it doesn't really matter if the quality of images is high?

(OK, back to work...haha...it's Friday right? Can't I just go home?)

banner
yeah, that looks great...it was taking up a lot of room before. good job. exciting to see callies casted as lori. i liked her on prison break.

great job on the map! my friend is saying that's his new favorite thing on the wiki. --Deftonesjunkie3 13:05, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Cast members
nice work on the TV series page with all the announced cast members! --Deftonesjunkie3 19:20, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Another Podcast
Hey Anno, I'm Jason. Really enjoying this wiki. I especially like looking at the character pages to help me keep track of what's happened to who. My friend Karen and I just recently started up another TWD podcast - we're The Walking Deadcast at http://www.walkingdeadcast.com. Will you add us to the podcasts list on the homepage? Asking you because you seem the most active. Let me know. Cheers!

Vandal
This IP editor (Special:Contributions/91.105.106.77) has been vandalizing the wiki, please block him. Thanks! -- Cod Expert  16:33, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. -- CE (talk) 16:40, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I was about to revert all of it until I got that message, so thanks. -- CE (talk) 16:42, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

How does one add to the map?
Since you seem to be the person who edits the map, I wanted to find out if it is okay to add something to it, or suggest something to add. I wanted to add the locations for the road signs in Issue 69 (Exit 53 to I-270 Washington, and Exit 7 Balt-Wash Parkway). I know the exact location of both signs. Thanks!

Hi!
Hi, thanks for the welcome and compliments! It's great be here! I've started reading the comics (ready for the TV series) and its become my new obsession. Thanks, and look out for a lot more edits from me ;) Effluvium 16:28, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, have you tried requesting a "Wikia Spotlight" as a way of getting new editors? I'm sure loads will flock here once the series has started up properly, but it couldn't hurt? Effluvium 16:45, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have seen walking dead advertised on the bar below (in monaco).
 * I am in the process of leaving wikia because of the new skin, but you are welcome to pursue this. Anno1404 16:48, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aw, I'm sorry to hear you are leaving because of the new skin, I know a lot of editors are doing the same, but I'm staying here. Is there any other admin I should contact if I need any help? Or is it just you? Effluvium 16:50, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am the most active. There are a couple, see this: Anno1404 16:53, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK! Thanks for that, Anno1404 :) Effluvium 16:54, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Image size
Hey, how do I increase the image size in character infoboxes? Like on Shane Walsh. --Mistertrouble189 08:24, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Gracias
Awesome, I changed the px size, thanks. I'll probably replace the comic pictures with the TV pictures (and move the comic pictures into the article/gallery (damn I really hate the new article width))

I took a look at the Maps and WOW. That's REALLY good and impressive.

Could you show me what you mean by the super-sized tables? I'm curious. --Mistertrouble189 19:11, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Colors
Hey, can you add to MediaWiki:Common.ccs to have "Dead" be #FF6A6A (red) and have Alive be #209B57 (green) so when you type out Dead or Alive after "Class=" that's the color that will appear. Did that make sense? If not, tell me. Thanks. --Mistertrouble189 02:57, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Gracias for the colors changes, now I will be able to help in updating character articles and such. Do you know how to implement your color changes into my table (need to remove that class thing and have the "|status" work when put in the chart. BTW, I really enjoyed the second episode! --Mistertrouble189 19:25, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

re: Image wiki
Hi. Just thought I'd give you a headsup that issue writeups for #19-25 and #29-69 are available on the Image wiki. I wrote the ones on #29-69 so you're welcome to use them if you'd like. I'm pretty terse and not much of a writer, but I was enjoying the series as I was reading it and put down a few words about each issue.

Front page slideshow
Morning! First off, idk if I said thank you yet, but thank you for the promotion!! I look forward to bringing this wiki to high standards. Challenge may be trying to tie and format both comic and TV information on some articles (mostly characters) and such. ANYWAY, do you know how to make that slideshow thingy on the front page? I'd love to have that at the I Am Alive wiki. Looks pretty cool. --Mistertrouble189 15:51, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Volume 2 doesn't have any grammatical or spelling errors. and it also doesn't need expanding...

can you make me second in command on the dead-rising.wikia.com

TV series characters
The TV series has a slightly (or maybe quite?) different continuity from the graphic novel. It also has just only started and none (most?) of the characters haven't faced their grim deaths yet. So when the episode guide mentions these people and links to their character page then is it correct to take the reader to the continuity of the comic book? I mean Lori is very much alive and Duane isn't quite undead yet. Should we perhaps create a second set of character pages that deal with the TV series? That would mean disambiguation pages for all the characters who appear in both and for example "Rick Grimes (comic book)" page should have a link to "Rick Grimes (TV series)" page and vice versa. Ren02 02:01, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * mistertrouble had the same concern. I will create a blog asking this question. look for it. Anno1404 02:59, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
