10/18/06 Stamp Greet, Hit, and Administrate

In order to better serve and promote the spirit of community, Stamp has been promoted from a moderator to an administrator. With his new abilities Stamp has more system permissions on the wiki as being able to promote moderators. The move to share power takes creative and administrative power of the wiki out of the sole hands of Lilithia and ensures that the Earthen Ring community is first priority.

Congratulations, Stamp!

In other news, the wiki's video library support has been dropped in light of the satisfactory service the "Earthen Ring Video Collection" thread supplies. While the wiki is always willing to try new ideas, the core values of maintaining print and art media comes foremost. A specific focus allows us to provide a quality resource to the Earthen Ring community.

08/31/06 Logo Art Contest

The ER Wiki has definately developed and grown over the last several months, but we still need to add more... flair to claim it as our own. In response to this, the ER Wiki Team is holding a contest to replace the tired old logo in the upper-left of the ER Wiki.

This needs to go.: http://earthenring.elwiki.com/skins/common/images/wiki.png

What are we going to replace it with? Whoever wins the contest!

We're offering 200G to whoever can create a great new corner logo to be used in the ER Wiki.

• The logo must have a width and height of 135px.
• The logo must be WoW-related, or have a style reminiscent of WoW.
• Final drafts must be submitted to Lilithia.Emberfall AT gmail.com by Thursday, September 7th, 11:59PM ER Server Time (Eastern).
• Entries will be judged fairly, with the artists' names hidden, by the ER Wiki Team.
• The winning entry shall be announced by the following Monday and 200G sent to the winner's character of choice.

Good luck!

07/30/06 Art Gallery Begins to Fill

The Art Gallery has been opened for use! By utilizing the 'card catalogue' system of the ER wiki we have found a method to sort art by subject and artist. Huzzah!

06/25/06 All Systems Go! The Wiki is Safe!

I just finished having a discussion with the creator of the ElWiki service, and everything appears to be solid. In fact, the wiki should be improving in time, with custom graphics and new settings. Huzzah!

A transcript of the discussion may be found here.

Congratulations, Earthen Ring. The wiki is now assuredly working!

06/24/06 Wiki Complications and Possible Salvations

If you've been trying to access the wiki in the last couple of days, you may have noticed that the service was a little... troubled. Let's face it: the wiki was dead in the water, and completely non-functioning.

Our wiki team has been working hard to find our next course of action. Should we stay with the current wiki service, which is free but not under our direct control, or find a pay service which we have direct control over, but have to pay? How are we going to move all of the wiki's information if we do decide to change services? These are the types of questions we are now faced with.

Until further notice, all users are free to use the wiki as normal. We now have the wiki service owner's contact information, and could feasibly export and import all data on the wiki to a new provider. Also, through this direct contact, we could figure out exactly what happened to our wiki over the past two days, and how to help the provider prevent future outages.

Keep your eyes on the News page!

06.22.06 Sticky the Wiki!

The Earthen Ring forums are constantly flooded with posts. To keep the wiki in a place of easy reminder and access, we need to get the forum moderators to sticky the thread on the ER forums.

Go here after you have logged into the Earthen Ring forums and hit the biohazard sign on the first post in the thread. Write as the reason for the report, "Please sticky."

Let's get this, everyone!

06/22/06 Guilds Pages Updated

Barista changed the guild listing pages to further seperate guilds by a few new categories. Whoever did this, it was a wonderful idea. I took this, modified the wording just a bit, and have made it a permanent change to the guild listings.: [[Category:<Faction>_PvP_Guilds]], [[Category:<Faction>_PvE_Guilds]], and [[Category:<Faction>_Roleplaying_Guilds]].

From this point, the guild listing pages are considered complete, minus minor cosmetic changes, and have been locked. Make good use of the new categories!

06/21/06 Booming Numbers

Since opening on Monday afternoon, the Earthen Ring Wiki has gathered 68 new user content pages, and over 9,000 page views. We have 66 registered users, and five official moderators. These numbers have no sign of slowing down.

Fantastic! Keep spreading the news. No matter who you are and who your character is, if you roleplay on the Earthen Ring server, this place is made for you.
