Talk:Warrior Cats Wiki/Other Archive 2

Limited amount of blog posts.
Hi, I was just thinking, that there really are too many blogs on this wiki :/, anyway, I wondered if it might be a good idea, if each user had a blog post limit. If, say, each user can only make up to 4/5 blogs, on Warriors Wiki, (excluding other wikis) and can only post up to 120 posts on other users blogs. This could help the wiki, because a lot of users are forgetting the real meaning of this wiki, and using it only to create worthless blogs, which only cause arguaments between spesific users and anonymous users.

I understand what you're saying about too many blog posts, but I think some users create blog posts but also contribute to the wiki. I think if users are creating too many blog posts and commenting on a lot of blog posts, and not contributing to the main articles they should be warned to start contributing to more articles, and if they don't they should have the privilege of blog posts taken away. This is just my idea. Whitestorm17 13:05, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Not taken away, limited. I agree with Claissa, and users can always delete blogs as well. W   a  t  e  r   bender MouseHRULES!   20:44, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

I also agree Clarrisa.  Dawny  04:34, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, Clarrisa. Limited, not taken away, like Mousetalon said. ♥Ice storm★  12:22, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Rather than limited, I think that perhaps there should be some kind of formal policy or guidelines for these blog posts, as some can be constructive and this should not be limited. What we need to abolish is the overuse of blogs for things such as general chatter, roleplay and other such things that are not permitted on user talk pages; we need to remove the use of blog posts as a way of getting around the talk page rules. -- Sandy star 12:32, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Makes sense to me. W    a  t  e  r   bender MouseHRULES!   16:36, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * What I meant was, there are some users who wrtie blog posts but also contribute to the wiki and are a member of many projects. Whitestorm17 16:43, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but we still should stop the roleplaying on the blogs though. W    a  t  e  r   bender MouseHRULES!   23:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think the roleplaying should be removed. Whitestorm17 23:40, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * We should remove roleplaying then keep blogs so we can still socialise. 86.176.24.142 14:29, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * But this Wiki isn't only for socializing! Too many users mainly contribute to blogs and chatting, but this is a Wiki! We can't have that! W    a  t  e  r   bender MouseHRULES!   23:35, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

That's why I said we should make sure that if users are using blog posts, they should also be contributing to the articles. If they continue to not contribute to articles they should have blog posts taken away. Whitestorm17 02:24, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pleased to see that you all are identifying this problem and bringing it up without my help. =) I was actually planning to write out some possible guidelines for blog use and such, as the problems that you pointed out are valid. The role playing, multiple posting and the obsessive use on them will need to be dealt with, as well as other problems such as a way of getting around the one-image rule, with users posting multiple images on the blogs. I'll create a dedicated forum soon so we can discuss some possible guidelines for blogs, so as not to clutter this page. Thank you all for your comments, and I'll post again when I've created the forum. I look forward to hearing any ideas y'all might have for it. --Bram ble 02:51, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I think that Whitestorm is right. Maybe we shoud do that instead of what I posted earlier? I don't mind :) Clarr issa! ☆ My talkpage! 09:49, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Clarissa! And Thanks Bramble for dealing with this. Whitestorm17 17:13, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

If it violates the Is NOT policy then it should be getting slapped down. Blog or not. Blogs are still on this site, and still subject to that policy. It's one thing to use them for valid thoughts/discussions... But RP is not such a thing. Particularly if they're violating the personal image policies on top of the Not policy.

I agree. A lot of users here use blogs for roleplaying, and they are not being warned. This should be strongly inforced to these users, in order to stop them from roleplaying here. Clarr issa! ☆ My talkpage! 10:42, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Even MORE concerns (I get a lot of these ;P)
Wow, this is my third time in a row having concerns, but shouldn't the SkyClan ancestors have their own cateogry, like SkyClan Ancestor? Just pondering Earth  bender Tawny Style! 19:18, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

That doesn't belong here. Take it up with Project:World. 19:22, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sidebar covers wiki logo on main page
When I go to Warrior Cats Wiki page, the sidebar jumps up and covers the wiki logo. Is this happening to anyone else? --Fandyllic 8:30 PM PST 23 Aug 2010

No. Everything is fine to me. Every single day, it's fine. Maybe it's your browser? 16:13, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I think what Fandyllic means is that the logo disappears and the search bar jumps up at the very top, because this happens to me too when I'm just logging in. (sits in a corner pondering) Earth  bender Tawny Style! 17:53, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Really? It never happens to me. 17:54, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Er...just realized its whenever it goes to the MAIN PAGE sorry about that he he ;D Earth  bender Tawny Style! 14:20, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Link Trade?
Hello,

I was curious if you would be interested in doing a link trade with our roleplaying site? It would allow you to get your button out more and at the same time help us out.

No. This is not a roleplaying site. We do not comminacate or link ourselves to roleplay sites. The amount of roleplay here already needs to be cut down. This won't help. Clarr issa! ☆ My talkpage! 10:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

New Releases
The neweset releases are Skyclans Destiny (Today: August 3) and Ravenpaw's Path: The Heart of a Warrior (Again Today: August 3) could someone chage the newest release Rainear   be as silent as rain

Helix changed it. =) Whitestorm17 19:51, August 3, 2010 (UTC)(Talk!)

Yay! More Concerns!!!
Okay, as we know, there are many ancient cats that appear in only Code of the Clans or Battles of the Clans. But whenever an article says they're an ancient cat, should we put them under the deceased category? Just wondering. Earth bender Tawny Style! 18:56, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if there is an official rule about this, but most ancient cats have the deceased category, and they should. 19:13, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

As Whitestorm's post implied: Dead is dead. The era of death isn't what the deceased category refers to, but rather their status in relationship to the chronologically most recent book. 18:05, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Menu Bar order
I'm not sure if it's different for anyone else, but under the Books part of the menu bar, here's the order I see (going by series)

Rise of Scourge

Tigerstar and Sasha

Original Series

Super Editions

Graystripe's Adventure

Ravenpaw's Path

New Prophecy

Power of Three

Field Guides

Omen of the Stars

Wouldn't it make it easier if we did it in chronological (did I spell that right?) order?

Original Series

New Prophecy

Power of Three

Omen of the Stars

Super Editions

Graystripe's Adventure

Tigerstar and Sasha

Ravenpaw's Path

Rise of Scourge

Field Guides

Just my thoughts, doubt it if anyone can see it, but if can, can someone edit the menu bar? (I know the admin's can do it because I'm an admin at my wiki and I can edit the menu bar ;P)

One more thing (wow lol this is LONG) shouldn't The Sign of the Moon and The Forgotten Warrior be under the Omen of the Stars bar thingy ma bobber? ;P Earth  bender Tawny Style! 17:50, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that decisions about the order of the books in the sidebar should fall to Project Books. And once a decision is reached about the appropriate order it can be installed. Right now I think it's in (roughly) publishing order and what you're asking is something more chronological with the "manga" stuffed down (I would personally put the field guides above the "manga". But that's just me being anti-"manga") at the bottom. Anyways: Project books... This is a question for them, methinks. 18:04, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry, I just put it here because it had to do with the menu bar...and the main talk page for warriors wiki? You know...

 * No scolding was intended, and if it came across that way I apologize. It's one of those fuzzy things, but as your question pertained directly to how the books are listed in the menu, rather than the overall menu, it should be directed to the books project since it's sort of like our officially displayed "order" or sorts. Or at least the most visible order. 02:03, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
