limited programming knowledge
Hey man. Thanks for the acknowledgement. I'm liking that someone else in the World Wide Web actually wants to make a dedicated wikia to one of the best comic series around. There's no reliable source for TWD. I mean, Wikipedia moderators are so hypocritical in deeming this background information irrelevant. I wrote up the majority of the character info way back before it was removed, then copied and pasted messily here. It wasn't exactly as coherent and organized. So I decided someone had to at least try and finish it.

In relation to your question; I have limited programming knowledge and don't really know much about layouts. I will stick to adding content as I think if I try and mess around with the cosmetics of the wikia I'll end up destroying it.

My two cents on other matters? We need to add the rest of the characters in the legend. Everyone after Woodbury still isn't up there yet so we need to get to it. Did you edit that page?

Hey hello bro! I edited the Issue 1 article so Robert Kirkman and Tony moore would link to their Wikipedia articles, do you like it or i screwed up? Thanks, cya!

Cleaning up Grammar, Spelling, etc
I've cleaned up Volume 1 as best as I can. I feel the article may be a bit long and could use further editing. Unfortanetly, I don't have the book in front of me as I edited the article so I mainly tried to fix grammar, spelling, and paragraphs. When I get a chance I'll take a look at the article again and see if some of it can be condensed.

I've also added a section under the characters with deaths.

The article also needs character links.

collapsible templates
Please see and respond here: http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:The_Walking_Dead_Wiki
 * I have added backgrounds before on my own wikis, never on wikia, which gives a person more limited ability to change things, but I sure can learn. Post the background you would like to have and send me a link.
 * All of my edits disappeared temporarily, I was shown to have 0 contributions. I was so confused! But it is fixed now. Anno1404 19:08, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

collapsible table works
Thanks, the collapsible table works a little bit: Template:Characters

Now there is the issue of the tone and color you want with this site, which is adjusted here:

MediaWiki:Common.css

From: http://anno1404.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css. you could always add this, then we can tweak it.

thanks for the admin access
I will continue to help improve this wiki, as I have with countless others, such as anno 1404. Thanks a lot. Anno1404 20:21, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

changing background
Here are the instructions:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Wiki_configuration#Customising_the_visual_theme_.28Monobook.29

I am doing it right now. Anno1404 02:59, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * After going to the mediawiki IRC chat forum, here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=mediawiki (where I get all of my questions answered)


 * I learned that you type:
 * javascript:alert(skin)
 * in your address bar and hit enter, and find out what type of skin your wiki is using, this wiki uses Monaco, not Monobook. Instructions to change the background are here:
 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_header#Header_Background
 * Anno1404 03:49, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very helpful for testing wiki:
 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_Monaco/skin#Testing_the_Customizations
 * so for example:
 * http://walkingdead.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=custom
 * Anno1404
 * This works: http://walkingdead.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=custom
 * But not by default, I am asking at IRC now for help. Anno1404 05:00, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Got it, I needed to change Special:Preferences >>> skin tab, to make it live.


 * Admin Options


 * Set the default theme for this wiki: (to custom)


 * For custom themes, select the "custom" option in the menu above and specify custom CSS in MediaWiki:Monaco.css

removed warning
I removed the warning on the main page:

this is the only wiki i have seen with such a warning. I think it is unnecessary. If you disagree, you can add it back, no prob. Anno1404 07:46, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * add it back if you wish, I just thought it was too much, but you decide. Anno1404 14:19, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Update

 * I also added a blurb from the official page to the main page. I was thinking the main page needed a picture on the right too.
 * Re: the background, what would you suggest instead? let me know and I will change it. I simply copied and pasted another wiki's coding.
 * I want to get rid of the baby blue around the summary and above a person's talk page, as it doesn't seem to convey the correct mood. Also the navbox templates are baby blue. Any design suggestions, let me know and I will implement them.
 * Note the color coding of the characters, based on their status. I spent a couple of hours getting that right. I would like to modify it later to have the same curves as the original.
 * I also added pics of each of the character's deaths in the template, see for example Jim.
 * I deleted the locations page, but probably should restore it.
 * I created template:locations which has a lot of red links.
 * I love your summaries by the way, you write better than I would.
