Logo

I've put in a request at the Logo Creation wiki for a new image to replace the default Wikia one. --Notmyhandle 20:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks like JoePlay (talk • contribs) has created/uploaded it. Awesome. --Notmyhandle 19:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

I'm looking to get admin rights for this wiki. Is there anyone who opposes this idea or feels that they too should become an admin as well? I'm working on importing the base content for films from Wikipedia as well as creating our own additional information for each film. Additionally, I'd like to work on creating a custom version of the darkskin (the one they use at WoWWiki.com) for this wiki to better fit the theme of horror. --Notmyhandle 07:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Update: with the absence of any response, I have been granted full admin rights. I hope to begin on the new skin asap. --Notmyhandle 02:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Eyesore

At first glance, the background and text color look nice, but it becomes kind of painful to read the inverted colors. 76.22.3.36 00:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

We're planning on making it have even more contrast. --Notmyhandle 04:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Have to recommend very light gray, with black text. Thanks for considering change. 76.22.3.36 01:53, 29

I don't think that's befitting of the horror theme, but feel free to register and browse using one of the preset themes like Wikipedia's monobook. --Notmyhandle 08:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Character Infoboxes

I recently created Template:Infobox Halloween character, Template:Infobox Friday the 13th character, Template: Infobox Elm Street character, and Template:Infobox Hellraiser character. However, I'll admit to being pretty ignorant when it comes to HTML and I basically stole the coding from the Doctor Who wikia and altered it slightly. They're coming up okay, but I think there might be some redundant coding in there so if someone more knowledgable could look it over, that'd be great. Paul730 12:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey can you also please create Underworld character templates too? Thanks in advanced.Talia al Ghul 21:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it's important that we try and implement a standardized, cross-series template for this sort of thing, such as Template:Character Infobox. --Notmyhandle 08:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Color Scheme

I noticed it said to post here if I noticed problems with the wikia's color scheme, so here goes. The captions on the pictures are unreadable thanks to the scheme and should be changed to black instead of grey. AlessaGillespie 02:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I concur. Perhaps there is a way to make the text white so that it'll be visible against the black background? --Brian Kurtz 21:36, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Text

The white on black is an extreme stab to the eyes. I find it painful to read and hard to keep track of where you reading as it starts to make all of the letter glow. Maybe an extremely dark shade of gray? Tangeled Web Weaver 04:21, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Linkage template

Like {{vampirewikis}}, has anyone considered one for horror movies? Tangeled Web Weaver 07:32, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
