Welcome to the GargWiki Community Portal! Here we provide a simple introduction to the GargWiki community and a few useful tools to help editors navigate the site.

Before you begin

Anybody can sign-up to GargWiki and help out. Users are free to jump right in and start adding content, but if you're new to wiki editing you are encouraged to browse some or all of the following pages:

  • GargWiki:Copyrights - At GargWiki we do not accept copyrighted work of any kind without the copyright holder's explicit consent.
  • GargWiki:Policy - Here you can find a few behavioural guidelines that users are expected to follow while using this site.


Ongoing discussions

GargWiki talk:Community Portal, this page's associated talk page, is for discussions and suggestions relating to the whole of GargWiki. If you would like to get more involved in the running of GargWiki, or if you have an idea to improve the site, you can add it there. Please remember to respect your fellow editors.

As well as this, here is a list of other ongoing discussions elsewhere on the site:

Tasks

In this section, editors can list GargWiki pages according to the work that needs to be done on them. Editors can request pages anonymously or sign their comments by adding three tildes at the end: ~~~

Editors are also encouraged to give a brief explanation as to why they have listed the page, and ideas for improvement.

Requested pages

Special:Wantedpages contains an automatically-generated list of non-existent pages with the most incoming links, but users can also request pages to be created by listing them here.

  • Ask Greg -- Since most of our canon-in-training information originates from this site, and since it is such a big part of the fandom, I think a page on Ask Greg would be appropriate. We could include a brief history of how it started, how it works, maybe list the competitions that have been held there. And we can have a big link to it at the bottom. -- Supermorff
  • Gillecomgain's father -- Greg recently revealed a CiT name for this guy here: [1] so that should help in creating an entry. He could also use a pic...
Wow! That's amazing! But I still think we should stick with Gillecomgain's father as a pagename, since it's canon and the other one isn't. - Supermorff
Also Marvel Comics with the same rationale. -- Supermorff
  • Star Trek -- Well why not? We've got an article on Jalapeña, after all, and this is no less silly even if it is an out-of-universe idea. Plenty of the voice actor pages would link to it.
Or you could do "Starfleet" which is mentioned in dialogue by Brooklyn in... uh... Her Brother's Keeper I think. That could work as an excuse to cover Star Trek and the connections to the actors. Or maybe I'm overthinking things?
  • Stone dragon -- i.e. the one from "Pendragon". -- Supermorff
  • Puck's flute -- An item page, probably a stub for now, but it did appear in a couple of episodes.
  • Gargoyle Way -- We hear this phrase a lot to mean a lot of different things. Maybe someday we can cook up a page talking about the gargoyle code (parenting, banishing, leader/second, all that) Mabe it could help split up the gargoyles page more, as I did when I made clan. -- Matt 16:44, 1 January 2008 (CST)
I would rather have a series of interconnected pages, like Gargoyle, Gargoyle culture (which would link out to, e.g. Clan and Wind Ceremony), Gargoyle biology (which would link out to, e.g. Egg), and maybe even Gargoyle history or similar. We can keep some information (mostly canon) in the main article and then direct people wherever they want to go. Gargoyle Way can redirect to Gargoyle culture. We might even be able to merge some info back into more general articles from clan and egg and whatever else. To keep in line with the archives at Ask Greg, gargoyle culture could also be called gargoyle customs. ... Huh. That seems kinda complicated when I write it all out. -- Supermorff 17:21, 14 January 2008 (CST)
  • Halloween -- Seems to come up a lot, could be a fun page. -- Matt 16:44, 1 January 2008 (CST)
Wrote this up today. I've never done a requested page before, so do we just want to delete it from the list? -- Demonskrye 19:11, 14 January 2008 (CST)
  • Hovercraft -- Talk about hovercrafts and airships. Just a thought. -- Matt 11:48, 10 January 2008 (CST)
Specifically Brod's hovercraft from "Golem" and "Turf". -- Supermorff
Yeah, but we also had the Cyberbiotics' airships, the Hunter's airship and sky sleds and maybe others I can't think of. -- Matt 17:59, 14 January 2008 (CST)

Pages in need of expansion

Special:Shortpages contains an automatically-generated list of pages with the least information, but users can also list pages to be expanded here.

Requested images

Here, users can list articles that they believe could be improved by the inclusion of appropriate images.

Kudos

GargWiki:Special Thanks contains a list of influential people that helped create GargWiki in its current form. Also, editors can also recognize the efforts of regular users of GargWiki by listing them here:

  • Kudos to VA for rewriting the first sentences of tons of articles for better uniformity of format! (Feel free to use this section for kudos to other editors too.) -- Demonskrye 20 September 2007
    Oh, thank you! :) -- Vaevictis Asmadi 13:09, 20 September 2007 (CDT)
  • Kudos to User:Supermorff for his hard work creating and implementing the CIT text and banner templates. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 21:22, 26 September 2007 (CDT)
    Thanks very much! -- Supermorff 03:53, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
  • A big well done to User:Matt, and also User:Greg Bishansky, for adding Appearances sections to every canon character article. -- Supermorff 14:45, 31 December 2007 (CST)
    Thanks! I can't believe it took less than a day. Thanks everyone who helped put it together, offered suggestions, corrected errors and reminded me of things I'd forgotten. Wait'll you guys hear my next big idea! -- Matt 14:48, 31 December 2007 (CST)
