Adding a Gargoyles Page

I think that there should be a Gargoyles page. As in a page describing the show in general, for people with less knowledge of the series. I'd create it, but I wouldn't know how or what to do.  :) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:SamuelB (talk).

It's an interesting point. A good starting point for ideas would be the Wikipedia page for the series, but I don't know how to incorporate the information into GargWiki. What would you call the page (since Gargoyles already refers to the species)? -- Supermorff 07:46, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

I have a couple ideas. We could redirect the current "Gargoyles" link to "Gargoyles (species)" and create "Gargoyles (tv series)" and "Gargoyles (SLG)" or just not redirect the current "Gargoyles" page, which is simpler now that I think about it. Or we could do a " "Gargoyles" " page, like how there is a page called " "Eggs" ." I think those are some feasible ideas. -- SamuelB

I suggest going with Gargoyles (TV series), and leaving the species page where it is for now. -- Supermorff 09:05, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

I'd like to see the GargWiki expand not only to have pages for the series itself and the SLG comic and the Marvel comic, but eventually even into various merchandise like the toys, books, etc. Ultimately I think this site should represent all things gargoyles. I mean, imagine a "Kenner Action Figure" Page that linked to the various figures and stuff. -- Matt

Do you have information about toys and books and things? -- Supermorff 09:05, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

Color scheme of default skin

Hey, glad someone finally set one of these up. Minor quibble about the colors in the default skin......while I like the concept we're going for here, I believe some of the colors are too saturated to be easily-readable as backgrounds. I would suggest going with desaturated versions of the colors, as are used at Ask Greg. Skeejay 10:50, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

I'm not sure what saturated and desaturated are. I will say that I really like the dark color background here and at Ask Greg, it is much easier on the eyes than a light color. Vaevictis Asmadi 13:12, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

Comic Info on Front Page

OK, I know most of you are also on the Station 8 Comment Room and probably saw either the Ask Greg or the responses to it or both. But in case anyone didn't, Greg Weisman mentioned in a recent "Ask Greg" response that the sales of the "Gargoyles" comic have been dropping with each issue and that if the trend continues, SLG will have no choice but to pass on renewing the license. Though the comic may well be SLG's best selling current title, but Disney's licensing fees take a big cut out of the profits. We should still get up through issue #12 of the regular series and issue #6 of "Bad Guys", but after that, the future is uncertain. My suggestion for a very simple thing we could do to help is for every 'Gargoyles" site to at least put some kind of link on the front page for people to buy the comic or the "Clan Building" trade paperback, possibly with a short explanation of how the comic's future is in doubt. I know this is a collaborative site and other people need to agree for this to happen, but I think it's a good idea and very simple way to help. There's a no reason anyone should come to a "Gargoyles" fansite of any kind and not know where they can get the comic. Thoughts? -- Demonskrye 12:09, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Maybe instead of the featured article section we should just have a "Now Available" section showing the one or two most recent releases with links to both the GargWiki pages and a link on how to buy it. I think keeping the comic going has to be our number one priority from here on out. -- Matt 12:24, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Sounds good to me. How about a "Now Available" and a "Coming Soon", since with the delays, I think one of the problems is that people thought there weren't going to be any more issues. Do we know how to make this happen? -- Demonskrye 16:38, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Sounds like something Supermorff would be good at. You around, buddy? -- Matt 18:12, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Guess not. Maybe we could leave a request on his talk page and do something really simple for now, like a couple of text links to the comic's wiki pages and links to a retailer you can buy them from? -- Demonskrye 06:41, 20 January 2008 (CST)
