: separate note regarding 'However, a lot of user pages do seem to be written in a very random fashion and I wonder how much usefulness someone will get from visiting a page that is not an encyclopedic entry about the person.' - I don't think we are building an encyclopedia here.

== Drizztpedia == | |||
Hi David, | |||
I'm sure you have your hands full editing several wikis, but I just noticed a wiki amongst the uncategorized pages and I thought you might be interested in it. It's [[Drizztpedia]] on Wikia. So far, it hasn't gotten a lot of love. However, since I think of you as the keeper of the flame of all things D&D-related, I thought you'd want to know about it, even if you don't choose to contribute there. | |||
Best, | |||

:Thanks for the link. (I won't be adding anything, as I've not got a single one of the Drizzt novels, but it was very thoughtful for you to send this to me.) I'm told that [[Forgotten Realms Wiki]] originally started off with a high percentage of Drizzt articles, so it looks like the founders of this wiki may be reinventing the wheel (instead of just setting up a Drizzt portal at Forgotten Realms Wiki). | |||
:When I went for a visit the wiki was not working properly, so I've reported it to Wikia. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 16:35, 17 March 2010 (EDT) | |||
== Mistipedia logo == | |||
You're welcome. I found a simple way to find the logo (which is often a bit of a trick with MediaWiki sites). If you use Firefox, select "Page Info" from the Tools menu. Then click on the "Media" tab. This will show the various media that appear on the page (usually images, but not limited to that). There may be an equivalent in Internet Explorer, but I haven't tried looking for it. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 21:56, 17 March 2010 (EDT) | |||
:Thanks for that. I was trying to view the source code and then hunt up and down for anything ending '.jpg', '.png', etc. I've copied the image over to here now, to save that wiki's bandwidth and to ensure the page here does not look broken if they ever take their server down for maintenance.

== Your thoughts on upgrade and logo == | |||
Hi David, can you check out, contribute if you want - [[WikiIndex:Admin_Notes#October_2010_Upgrade_Thoughts]] - best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
:I'm OK with the current logo to be honest. But the new one makes for a nice favicon. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 13:07, 11 August 2011 (PDT) | |||
== Upgrade and logo stuff - open to all == | |||
Please check out [[WikiIndex:New logo decision]] and [[WikiIndex:Spring 2011 Upgrade Path]], Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
:Most of the proposed stuff about the upgrade goes over my head, someone needs to explain the pros and cons of each thing if they want to get input from me. So long as this place doesn't start looking as awful as Wikia now looks, I'll be happy. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 13:06, 11 August 2011 (PDT) | |||
