The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal

Public Relations
Hi there, I made a forum post about getting some banners to other sims sites. Say we create a page for their site on the wiki and we kindly ask them to link to us in return. Forum:Site banners

What I need from the community is taking a look at the banners and maybe jazz them up with mad paint skills. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 23:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna try and formulate an email which we can send to potential affiliates.

Hello 

The Sims Wiki is a collaborative encyclopedia for everything related to The Sims series. We host over 4500 articles and keep on growing since our founding in February 2005. The wiki format allows anyone to create or edit any article, so we can all work together to create a comprehensive database for The Sims series.

We have created a page detailing your Sims site  and would like for us to become affiliates. If you are interested, please add our link and banner to your site. Note that you're most welcome to register at Wikia and contribute to your site's page as well.

We're looking forward to seeing you.

Sincerely, the users at The Sims Wiki.

 * Two suggestions. One, add a link to the page for that particular site - for example, if this message were sent to Carl's Sims 3 Guide, somewhere in the message give a link to the article page. Second, 'aswell' should be 'as well'. Otherwise, it looks awesome to me. --Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog) 22:45, July 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's already there, I added color for emphasis and fixed the spelling. Maybe this should be signed and sent out by an admin? I'd wait for a handful of thumbs ups before sending anything. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 01:20, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It needs a link to our main page where The Sims Wiki is first mentioned and then the url under the salutation. Great job! --a_morris (talk) 14:35, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia
I'm confused with the whole wikia login thing... So, my wikia account can be accessed from any wikia but are my discussion page and userpage the same on every wikia? --Nman649 02:20, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Your login works for wikis in Wikia, but your user page and talk page is exclusive to each wiki. So your pages on this wiki will be different than pages on any other wiki. (Someone correct me if I have this wrong). LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 02:26, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks correct to me. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 03:57, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

'Did you know...' section
How about a 'Did you know...' section on the frontpage similar to on the Harry Potter wikia, it should contain information such as on Snooty Sims' 'Did you know...' page Did you know... and so on and so forth. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 13:20, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Examples
 * that you can free a burglar after he has been caught by the police?
 * that drilling with the Miner near the police station will trigger a prisoner escape?
 * Astronauts only work 1 day a week?
