Wiki Chat Room
They should make us a chat room so when we get bored of updating wikis we can always talk to each other. Like we can talk about either sim stuff or things that are going on. Or things we are doing today.

So we dont have to talk on here all the time, this place is more for getting work done as far as chatting. Oh yeah i had to get a root canal in my teeth it was fun. I told my dentist that well we had our fun but now its time to leave. The dentist spent 30 mitunes on another patient while I was sitting there my mouth dry the whole time, they had some kinda of plasic over my mouth in a way.--Sprite7868talk 9:42, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Amy, I'll help! PepterPepper

Traits: Reply
I don't know for sure but let's take Kaylynn's, for example. I put "Neat" because in her Description it said she loves to clean. I put "Flirty" because in the picture she's flirting with Mortimer. For Rosemarie Zavarez it said her Lifetime Wish was to have The Perfect Garden. So I thought she must be good at gardening, so I put "Green Thumb." (I put Grumpy for her also because her bio says she's grumpy, and the pictures I've seen show her yelling and complaining.)

I'm sorry if any of them are wrong, I was just taking an educated guess.

Sims Avaible For Adoption
Hello, A Morris. Somebody created a page for sims avaible for adoption, but it only has one sim, Mary-Sue Pleasant. Do you think wikia should delete the page, or wait to see if more sims are put on it?--Bella Goth 16:54, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Bella Goth

User:Joethatblackguy

RE: Comments
Hey. Sorry if I smoehow offended you guys, I was just trying to tidy up the place a bit. Everyone should put their sigs, and evidence should be given before those 2 are disallowed to vote. I just talk like that cause I am a regular wikian, i am a member of 5 wikis + and i know a bit about policies. :) Thanks for moving my comments to the talk pages. Do you like the changes I made btw? I hear you are an admin!

Also, I am a he, not a she. :P- JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 21:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

The Forums
i honestly don't mind, i haven't a clue how to use this page anymore, but sadly a Trojan has entered my sims 2 game, and i had to un-install the entire thing, so i pass xiaou onto you A morris.

enjoy him, you can use the current picture on my page to re-create his template is you want.

my mates say you can re-created people from looking at them. at this stage i won't be playing the sims 2 for a long time.

So i would love too see xiaou in somebody else's hands, he was very hard to create.

Vandalsim
Somebody vandalised the Sims 3 page. They put that Robert Patterson and a Prostitute was a career choice. I restored the page, but is there anything else that needs to be done?--Bella Goth 00:27, 16 May 2009 (UTC)Bella Goth

Updating the main page
Allison, hope all is will in the land of wikidom. With the upcoming Sims 3 being released in a bit, Richard and I would like to help fine tune the main page to catch more traffic, and point people in the right direction. We'll be experimenting via a sandbox, and when we come up with something that we're proud of, we'll show it to you, and tweak it per your feedback.

Did you get a chance to check out the gaming newsletter? There is a brief explanation of main page changes, the could offer some insight. Cheers, -- Doug (talk ) 21:25, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

New Main Page
Hey A morris. I just wanted to drop by and tell you some of the changes going on at Wikia. Wikia Gaming is currently redoing the way Main Pages and pagetitles work. For pagetitles, we want them to be "Article - Wiki - 3 keywords". For example, I've updated this wiki's pagetitle so that it is now "Article - The Sims Wiki - The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and more"; this is for "search engine optimization" (SEO), which makes a website have a better result when searching for certain words in search engines like Google. For the Main Pages, we've found that using images can be more effective than text. Also, Google recommends that Main Pages have less than 100 links on them, so the images help in this respect as well. I've made a draft of what the new Main Page for The Sims Wiki could look like at User:Richard1990/sandbox. We would like to have a new Main Page immediately for The Sims Wiki, with The Sims 3 already leaked and the official release date almost here. On my draft I took out a couple things that are on the current Main Page; you can add/remove what you want, just make sure the Main Page will have less than 100 links on it. As Doug's previously pointed out, The Magic Bullet explains all this.--Richardtalk 19:57, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * OK so is it alright if I put the code on the Main Page? I'll put the timer back in too.--Richardtalk 17:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

New skin + logo
Hi A morris. With The Sims 3 about to release, I though it would be a good idea to give the wiki a new look. I spent a few hours today working on a new skin and logo. I uploaded a preview here. I intentionally chose a short page for the screenshot to show more of the background. Take a look and let me know what you think. If you'd like me to make any changes, please say so. If you like it as is, let me know and I'll go live with it. Thanks. JoePlay (talk) 18:02, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I just uploaded it here at this wiki. JoePlay (talk) 21:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

AWESOME! If I ran the wiki, I'd change it to that! But, sadly, I only have rollback.PepterPepper


 * I'm glad you (and Pepter) like the skin. =) As you suggested, I added my logo to the contest page. I wasn't aware of the contest, so I hope no one objects to me (a Wikia employee) entering it. I guess it would be better to wait until the contest is over before going live with the skin. What do you think? JoePlay (talk) 18:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply. I agree that it would be better to implement the new skin before the logo contest, since that won't be finished until after Sims 3 releases. So let me know exactly when you want me to go live with the new skin (using the wiki's current logo of course), and I'll "flip the switch." JoePlay (talk) 19:53, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Version labeling
Hello.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the technical side of wikis, but from what I've seen from Wikipedia, a labeling system can be implemented through tags. Up to four types of tags may be needed: inline tags, section tags, article tags, and image tags.

-Inline tags are used within a paragraph, at the start of a sentence of a paragraph. It should be unintrusive, something like the small superscript like "citation needed". It can be an abbreviation (e.g. "TS2:OfB" for "The Sims 2: Open for Business"), possibly colour-coded. For clarification, it can show the version's full name upon mouse-over or some such. Alternatively, it can show the game icon (e.g. the green diamond with academic square for TS2:U)". Personally I've found those icons to be very indistinguishable, so at least a floating text would be needed.  Otherwise, some kind of shrunk logo or any original icon that clearly shows the version would do.

-Section tags are used for each section, saying something like "this section contains info on TS2:U". This may be redundant as the sections names often specify the version already. However I believe that it is technically possible to automatically show a message on top of the section when an inline tag is present within the section (similar to how citations work, except they show up in a different section entirely). In this case section tags would be completely unnecessary. Idealy, of course, this message would also adjust appropriately to the content, such as "...contains TS:Unleashed, TS2:Pets and TS2:FreeTime". But if not separate messages, probably in the form of concise boxes, similar to userboxes but even smaller, will do.

-Article tags: ditto section tags. Probably redundant and unnecessary.

-Lastly, image tags are for, well, images. Image tags are easy enough to make, but I'm not so sure how this should show up since, I believe, image captions are independant from image files themselves. So perhaps we'd need to make people tag each image within an article? As I said, this hadn't been all that necessary, but I find screenshots of TS2 and TS3 quite similar without the interface.

Anyway just my ideas. I'm sure someone who knows more about wikis can come up with better designs. Uly 04:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
