;Broken Links
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]]
[[File:Moodlet_notperfect.png|35px|left]]If a link to a particular discussion has brought you to the top of this page, instead of to the actual discussion, then that link may be broken.

What I need from the community is taking a look at the banners and maybe jazz them up with mad paint skills.

How do you like it? '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])([[User_blog:Duskey|<span style="color:blue;">blog</span>]])</small> 02:17, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

::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 [[Carl's Sims 3 Guide|article page]]. Second, 'aswell' should be 'as well'. Otherwise, it looks awesome to me. --[[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 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.

::::It needs a link to our main page where The Sims Wiki is first mentioned and then the url under the salutation. Great job! --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 14:35, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

:::::Added urls and gave the link to their site a lineskip for emphasis. I assume people accept HTML emails these days. The microbanner should probably get a new name, something like [[:File:The Sims Wiki Microbanner.png]].

== 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? --[[User:Nman649|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). [[User:LostInRiverview|LostInRiverview]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 02:26, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

::Looks correct to me. '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])([[User_blog:Duskey|<span style="color:blue;">blog</span>]])</small> 03:57, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

== 'Did you know...' section ==

How about a 'Did you know...' section on the frontpage similar to on the [http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Harry Potter wikia], it should contain information such as on [http://snootysims.com/extrasindex.php?id=didyouknow Snooty Sims' 'Did you know...' page]
;Examples
:
Did you know...
*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? {{vgversion|TS3}}
and so on and so forth. '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])([[User_blog:Duskey|<span style="color:blue;">blog</span>]])</small> 13:20, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
:Good idea. It can go up when there isn't a poll. I like the idea of having the community suggest dyks but do you think it is necessary to vote on them? Also, I was thinking they should be change randomly instead of manually. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 16:08, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
::I like the idea... how often would it change? Would it change every so often (once a month, week, etc.) or would it change every time someone visited the page? -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])</small> 16:15, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
:::I like it. They should mention which game(s) they're for. For example, "Astronauts only work 1 day a week?" is only true for TS3, even though the job title also exists in TS2. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] 17:03, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
::::Yes, they should obviously mentioned which game they're from. Either 'Astronauts in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' etc...' or use {{t|vgversion}}. Ideally the wiki should select 3, 4 or 5 lines from a long list, but I have no idea how to set this up. They should be rigged to change automatically once every week or month. I vote for every week. CAN you even set that up on wikia? As for when to display it: Shouldn't is be always? The new bi-monthly contest thing either presents a vote or a featured article doesn't it? '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])([[User_blog:Duskey|<span style="color:blue;">blog</span>]])</small> 19:47, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

::::I've set up [[The Sims Wiki:Sandbox/Did you know]] to add facts to a list before we implement it. There's still abit of discussion and development to do, but now we can add facts if you've already got some ideas or some across something interesting you don't wanna forget.

Should we sneak in some stuff about the wiki? Like 'Did you know can create and participate in competitions?'
