What's it supposed to be? There's nothing on it.

Andrelvis · #3 08-12-2005, 10:30 PM

It is a wiki(You do know what a wiki is, right? Like an encyclopedia people contribute to make)... But soon there will be more!

Like I said, it has just been created...

used:) · #4 08-12-2005, 10:41 PM

oh yeah thats right. My bad.

Andrelvis · #5 08-13-2005, 08:34 AM

The main page of the wiki has been revamped!

Andrelvis · #6 08-14-2005, 05:31 PM

Come on people! Help the wiki with your knowledge about Oddworld! Btw, if you have questions about the wiki, you can ask them to me! Thanks your attention

Assuming people know more about Half Life than Oddworld is flawed.

I was going to do this many months back, except it wouldn't be wikicities but would be plain wiki, and it wouldn't have ads.
I decided not to though, so, uh, good luck with your Oddworld encyclopedia.

Andrelvis · #8 08-15-2005, 12:34 PM

Oh, interesting... I like wikis a lot, they are a very efficient way to organize information... But yes, unfortunately through wikicities there are ads

But they are small and at the side of the screen though... :P

I've updated a few links by editing some non-existent pages. Those with the tag ShadyDoc1287 at the end are me. I've contributed some info about Sekto, Eugene Ius, Moolah, Abe, Munch, Gabbiar, Beekz the Oppel Farmer, Cornjaws the Sleg Hunter, and maybe something else. I don't feel like checking right now.

Andrelvis · #10 08-15-2005, 03:23 PM

You've done a great job at the wiki! Thanks!

Abe16 · #11 08-15-2005, 04:41 PM

I did some most editing at the wiki. Yeah, looks prtty cool.

***Wil*** · #12 08-16-2005, 06:58 AM

Well done. I breifly considered using a wiki to power The Oddworld Encyclopædia but decided against it for various reasons, most of which were the very reasons wikis are used, hehe. I look forward to seeing how Oddworld Wiki turns out.

Munch's Master · #13 08-16-2005, 12:46 PM

Hmm, interesting. I am considering adding some info on the creatures, but I was wondering:How do you add a new page? I wat to do an Alf page and a Crig the Slig page but I don't know how to make them. I have done a little bit on Paramites, Sligs and Slogs, but I want to make these pages.

Andrelvis · #14 08-16-2005, 01:25 PM

To make an Alf page all you have to do is click on the 'Alf' red link on the main page. But to make a page that doesn't exist and isn't linked to, set the url: http://oddworld.wikicities.com/index.php?title=(insertdesiredarticlenamehere)&action=edit

But of course replacing '(insertdesiredarticlenamehere)' with the article name. Remember to use _ for spaces and the article names ARE case sensitive. Hope I've helped

Dark Elite_H2 · #15 08-16-2005, 01:55 PM

Hiya. I added to the site, and wondering where's the minions page?

Munch's Master · #16 08-16-2005, 01:58 PM

What didya add? Also when yu say you enter that as the URL, do you mean I literally just type that at the page address bar, hit enter, then I can create my own page? Also where would it come up, can you select the section it appears in, or does that all become obvious when you make the new page?Also I don't know if you know but some pages such as Headley the Auctioneer, Big Bro Slig and Flying Slig have links in creature profiles (In this case Vykker and Slig) but don't have a link on the main page. Just thought you should know.

Andrelvis · #17 08-16-2005, 02:34 PM

@Dark_Elite_H2: AFAIK it doesn't exist yet :P . You can create it though!

@Munch's Master: Yes, literally type that at the address bar. The Headley the Auctioneer thing has just been solved

. But the Big-Bro Slig and Flying Slig are Slig rank/classes, I'll add them to the main page somewhat soon.

EDIT: Btw, if anyone is wondering how to upload images to the wiki, just ask me

Munch's Master · #18 08-16-2005, 02:38 PM

So when I type iut, if I put it as a link in a related page, then can you find it and ut it on the main page? If so I'm off to do a Crig the Slig page right now!

Andrelvis · #19 08-16-2005, 03:10 PM

Sure I can find it! I use the 'Recent Changes' page all the time to do just that!

Dark Elite_H2 · #20 08-17-2005, 07:16 AM

Ok AFAIK? What the hell is that?
And, does it mean I can/can't create a thread fer a minion? I'm just confused 'ere!

Dave · #21 08-17-2005, 08:31 AM

Would anyone object to adding a page about popular Fanfics and their characters?

Munch's Master · #22 08-17-2005, 10:58 AM

Well, if you do that I'd recommend you search the archives. There's some pure gold fanfics back there. The Oddworld Alliance, the 'Spider' and 'Moon Child' series, 'Fragments', Teal's series (most of which are on her site), and some top comic relief in the form of Hans and Sven Do Stuff and the never finished Hans and Sven do a sequel. If you're wondering how I know of all these-I really like Oddworld fics, and I read them all during my account activation problems. Also the Crig the Slig page should be up and linked in, around 10 minutes.

AFAIK means As Far As I Know, hehe. And it means you can make a thread for a minion, of course!

Dark Elite_H2 · #24 08-17-2005, 01:44 PM

Yeah, but the question is how do you make a minion's page?

***Wil*** · #25 08-18-2005, 03:03 AM

Simply type http://oddworld.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Minions&action=edit into your browser's address field and it should take you to the right page to create it.

Munch's Master · #26 08-18-2005, 05:27 AM

I've just notivced that Greeters and Shrykulls are missing from the main page. I'l lgo do a Greeter page now.
