Expansion
Could this wiki expand it's idea about the content to not just horror films but also cult movies and other genres? Like spaghetti westerns, post-apocalypse, blaxploitation, poliziotteschi, giallos...nunsploitation, nazisexploitation, rape/revenge (like, Ms. 45 and I spit on your grave). That would make the audience for the wiki bigger and we could recruit members on different forums. I think a good wiki with interesting trivia and comparison between different editions of movies on DVD - VHS - LD to see which has the best picture quality and what version is the most uncut version and so on...

- There already is a film wikia, I think this one should stick to horror. Paul730 18:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Skin
Can this wiki please get a new skin?? Even just a plain black one with the words "Horror Movie Wikia" in red or something, the basic white one is really putting me off coming here. I'd try to do something about it myself but I don't know anything about wikia skins... help? Paul730 18:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- I believe Notmyhandle has done an outstanding job with this. Thank them if you like the look here. :)

- It's definite improvement, but where are Michael and Jason? :P Paul730 22:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, having the other "big two" would be nice. Unfortunately, I don't have the source images to be able to play with them. What do you say, Notmyhandle?

- Yeah why not. It's difficult to find good images; the one I used for pinhead is the best I could find, but the blue coloration is terrible. Most of the images I could find of Jason were just lame, and personally, I'm not a fan of Michael's mask. If you could link me to good images, that would be awesome, otherwise, it may be a long time until I get my hands on source DVD's to rip images from. --Notmyhandle 21:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Why not use Image:TheShape.jpg and Image:JasonVI.jpg? Paul730 22:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Character Pages
Is there a specific rule here on what character pages can be made? In other words, is it okay to make pages for characters in one of the lesser known horror films? AlessaGillespie 22:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I always kind of assumed that as long as a character at least had an actual name they could get an article. -- Lord Crayak 04:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Two More Things
I created a generic template for characters and monsters from any movie at Template:Infobox Movie Character and Template:Infobox Monster for anyone who wants to use it =+)
I also had a question though: why is the lettering on picture captions pretty much invisible? AlessaGillespie 00:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
The color layout of the wiki apparently makes the image captions invisible unless highlighted, I think. Not sure who to talk to about that. Also, nice templates! -- Lord Crayak 02:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't fixed them yet. --Notmyhandle 07:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Scratch that, I fixed thumbnails a long time ago. White text on black; what are you talking about? --Notmyhandle 07:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm talking about this
This picture's caption is an example of the problem. AlessaGillespie 07:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see a problem, I can read it just fine. What browser are you using? Perhaps you should clear your cache and see if the CSS loads correctly. --Notmyhandle 07:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Cleared my cache. It's still white with grey lettering. AlessaGillespie 07:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- And you're using Monaco (the default) skin? Again, what browser are you using? --Notmyhandle 07:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Internet Explorer is listed as the default browser under Control Panel. As for skins, I wouldn't even know how to change them, so I'm sure I'm on the one set up by admins. AlessaGillespie 08:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- Yeah IE will give you issues. I haven't begun working on compatibility with it. I use Firefox while I work on the CSS, but I'll keep you in mind for future changes. --Notmyhandle 08:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Linkage template
Hello. Would you mind adding {{w:Horrorfilmwikis}} to the main page? The wikis chosen for the template are only wikis that have a good foundation laid out already. If you can find another well constructed horror film wiki, leave me a message on my talk page, I'll be more than happy to add it. Tangeled Web Weaver 00:09, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
