Warcraft Wiki talk:FAQ
Deprecate then neglect?
I may restore the old wiki faq, since its been 2 months since this one was deprecated and said to be replaced with sections that have never appeared. I wish people wouldn't leave tasks so unfinished... oh well.

- Pointless. I moved the 2005/11 archives back in here (touched them up a bit though). --Mikk 04:18, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
Images? (2004, Nov)
[2004 Nov 21; Goldark ] I noticed the mention of using Blizzard images. Whilst its all very well to copy them, do we actually have anyone/anywhere to host said images, rather than linking to other 3rd party sites which I'm guessing we shouldn't really be doing? Having images for abilities/spells will certainly enhance the Wiki's appearance a lot. -- Goldark
- We have cosmosui.org in a pinch.
- [2004 Nov 21; AlexanderYoshi ] For now, but if we have some images we *really* want hosted, you should send a message to Rustak, and we'll discuss what images to upload/not uploading. -- AlexanderYoshi
Wiki template list (2004, Nov)
[2004 Nov 23; Goldark] Is there a page anywhere that gives a list of available Wiki templates like the money one?
Ok kicking something off unless someone finds something that works automatically :) template index
Search broken? (2005, July)
[2005 Jul 29; Farmbuyer ] Is there any discussion about the complete brokenness of the search box on the left hand side?
No matter what I enter (try "scrollbar" for one), I get
A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an illegal search query (see Searching WoWWiki),
or it may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
SELECT cur_id,cur_namespace,cur_title,cur_text FROM cur,searchindex WHERE cur_id=si_page AND MATCH(si_title)
AGAINST('+scrollbar' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND cur_namespace IN (0,9,11) LIMIT 0, 20
from within function "SearchEngine::showResults". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYI' (errno: 145)".

Question
Is all the text free? Ie, can we pinch it and stick it in Wikipedia? - Access 12:11, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Name
Shouldn't this be called 'WoWWiki FAQ', without the space in the name? -- Kirkburn 14:13, 13 June 2006 (EDT)
- No, "WoWWiki:FAQ", which it now has been renamed to :-) --Mikk 23:10, 11 August 2006 (EDT)
IRC channel
Prehaps add it to the forum question --Psyker7 23:24, 16 March 2007 (EDT)
The return of images
I've been posting, fixing stuff, and making the stuff more intresting, i can't seem to figure out how to upload and post pictures. There are SO MANY red links about thing like the visitor's center, that I would LOVE to fill in. ANy ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dima todd (talk · contr).
FAQ about move
The about page links to the FAQ. Both don't get specific on the transition from WoWWiki to Wowpedia (I see there is somewhere a big thread about it here but didn't find summarize/FAQ so far). I personally only realized the move because of MMO-Champion talking about it. So I wonder why there is no obvious hint (like redirect or big box at page header, at the moment there's only a small text on the front page, and editing isn't locked) about the transition. I think there should be FAQ about the transition, or a link in this FAQ to such a FAQ. Maybe redirect from wowwiki.com to that FAQ if possible. Mars85 (talk) 20:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
