New logo image proposition

File:GTA-Wiki.png

A few days ago Olipro suggested chang the wiki logo to this image. While I am partial to the current one (because I made it :)) I do like this new version better. So in spirit of democracy I felt we should see how everybody feels about changing it. If you like the newer logo but have any suggestions on how to improve it please let them be know in your vote

Voting is over the logo has been changed.

  1. Thai420Talk to me! 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC) I like it but I think we could use a picture of Niko (if we can find a good one) in it somewhere to help connect it more to GTA IV
  2. Zaibatsu 16:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC) I have to say, I like the new logo better than the old one. But don't you think you should add a GTA IV screenshot to have every GTA 3D title covered? And it appears that this Wiki is all about San Andreas with the SA font. I think you should use another one but I don't know what the others think. And just one thing: The woman in the lower left-hand corner isn't that important to include it on a logo for a video game where much more important characters are in (add Tommy, Toni, Vic or Niko e.g.)
  3. Matthias 15:13, 17 June 2007 (UTC) It is much cleaner designed and looks far more professional.
  4. I'm technically biased of course since I made it, but I'd say it's definitely a nice improvement :P -- Olipro 17:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Deleting templates

I going to start getting rid of some templates that just clutter things up mainly Template:Tnavbar and the related templates and the templates made by Forerunner if nobody has any objections. Mostly they just connect to each other and not any real articles. Thai420Talk to me! 06:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

New Main Page

Ok I'm kinda bored with the main page so I decided to try making a new one. Please look at it here and let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it please let them be know in your vote.

  1. --Thai420Talk to me! 00:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC) I think the colors are easier on the eyes and hopefully the todo list will help us make better articles.
  2. angies<staff /> (talk) 23:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC) I think it looks much nicer.. Also we have a new gaming main page template you are welcome to steal from at gamingstarter.wikia.com
  3. Ianlopez1115 11:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC) Looks like Wikipedia but the layout is much improved. Replace it!Reply[reply]
  4. 68.124.23.161 22:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC) I like it! I just miss the list of games... Games:Reply[reply]

  • The new background images inside the template look misplaced, better use a plain one. The new boxes look quite exactly like wikipedia:Main_Page, not bad, but also not too creative ;) --Matthias 13:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The 2 logos are genial. --Droides 15:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC).Reply[reply]

Merge with Grand Theft Wiki

I am excited to share that GTW has agreed to come to Wikia and merge with gta.wikia.com to make Wikia's Grand Theft Auto wiki the largest and most comprehensive wiki! What this means for this wiki:

  • Pages: All pages from GTW will be moved into this wiki. If there is a clash (a page from here has the same name as a page on there), then GTW's copy will be moved to be a subpage of a temporary merge page. The two communities will then make efforts to combine the two vast sets of information into one full GTA Wiki - the biggest and the best.
  • Users: GTW's users will be attempted to be merged into Wikia's central user database (which goes across every Wikia wiki). If their username does not already exist on Wikia, it will be added and become your account. If you are currently an admin on gta.wikia.com you will continue to be one. All admins on GTW will also be given admin rights. It is our hope that these two communities of users bond together to form one larger more active community
  • URL: www.grandtheftwiki.com will then point to gta.wikia.com so this wiki will get lots of new traffic

Questions: Feel free to ask User:Xenon the founder of GTW, myself or TOR if you have any questions. angies<staff /> (talk) 18:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I made an announcement on the German GTA Wikia Frontpage to support the upcoming merge process. --Matthias 21:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
