Wowpedia talk:Community portal

Cleaned this page up

I think I've managed to squash all the dud links in this page. Either by commenting them out (most of them), or actually writing the missing pages (notably WoWWiki:How to edit a page). --Mikk 14:18, 29 May 2006 (EDT)

• There was a rather random "Todo" listed. I created WoWWiki:Community_Portal/Visitor's_wishlist for that, with an "Add a wish" link that goes to a subpage with nothing but the list in it -- hopefully easy enough to edit for Joe Random Visitor. This list gets pulled into the todo box. --Mikk 06:25, 5 June 2006 (EDT)

• Added an "Ongoing votes" section at the bottom for people that want to draw attention to their votes. Please provide an easily-understandable oneliner summary when you do post links here! --Mikk 17:36, 13 June 2006 (EDT)

• Pulled in a summary of WoWWiki:Village pump in the "About" box. It deserves a little more attention imo, and the box was looking veeeery empty :-)   This summary will be automagically updated approximately until my Linux box croaks (which may not be too far off). --Mikk 17:36, 13 June 2006 (EDT)

Clear this

I don't want to cause lots of trouble for the people here, so I won't simply go and delete the page like a common vandal; however, much of this page, if not most of it, was designed and developed by me. I respectfully request that the page be re-designed from scratch without using my work as foundation. For this I will be grateful. The Smentor 05:26, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

You are, of course, forgetting this is a wiki? -- Kirkburn (talk) 05:44, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

See User talk:SilverSide#Uh for a categorical response to that request.   --Mikk (T) 05:58, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

Eclipse - Cross Realm Recruitment

Deleted. WoWWiki general pages is NOT the place for guild recruitment ads!   --Mikk

Interesting screenshots

Instances:Raid Make Up/Group Setup

Based on the principle of Being bold, I added a section on Raid Group Setup to the Raid_Group page. I don't see any need for a vote on the issue, and I think that the request can be removed. --Ziana 15:16, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Policy:Homophobia & The Sara Andrews Fiasco

Based on the overwhelming amount of homophobia found in-game, there should be an article in Wowwiki discussing it. Given what happened to [Andrews] at the hands of one of Blizzard's own homophobic Game Masters and the fact that it caused Blizzard to privately issue an apology to her for its stance, it deserves recognition in Wowwiki. You can't just have the good without the bad. WoW is an extremely homophobic game with built-in hetero-centric emotes (and in the case of Taurens and Blood Elves, homophobic emotes.) The game itself is encouraging young people to use hate speech and the vast majority of guilds are anti-GLBT and feature hate speech on their vent and teamspeak channels. This needs to be addressed.
