Does the Wiki software you're using support this ind of thing, or does only the Wikia software support it? | Does the Wiki software you're using support this ind of thing, or does only the Wikia software support it? [[User:Scrab|Scrab]] 11:24, 21 August 2011 (BST) | ||
:Do you mean, for every item, having a separate page for each game? Most items are only in one game, and the ones that are in multiple games are usually similar enough to be able to have 1 article. There are some items which are very different in different games, but they already have separate articles - see [[Liberty City]] for an example. They already have links at the to the other pages, although a little table to do the same thing might work in some situations. Could you be a bit more specific about your suggestions? | |||
:I meant the images at the top of the page. It has the logos of Fallout 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas. I meant, for example, the Ambulance to have the logos of GTA 1, III, VC, SA, etc. The thing just above the page and just below the Like button on Wikia.

::Seems like unnecessary bloat. The article already should have all the games the object of the article appears in. Is it an urgency to know what games the object appears in order to need a notice on the top right side of the article?--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|spaceeinstein]]''' 20:24, 25 September 2011 (BST) | |||
== A new poll to be added? == | |||
I think that we should have a new poll, as I believe this poll has been here for quite a few months. Anyone with this? Apologies if I posted this in the wrong area. --[[User:TheJustinAllenK|TheJustinAllenK]] 20:57, 21 August 2011 (BST) | |||
:You're talking about the main page, so this is correct place to ask this! Although someone already asked this above. We don't have a good method of running polls at the moment. But when the software is ready, we'll have a new poll! [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 22:44, 21 August 2011 (BST) | |||
== Google Search == | |||
When I look up on Google, 'Grand Theft Auto Wiki' , I get GTAWikia first, are we going to fix it? '''--[[User:TheJustinAllenK|TheJustinAllenK]] ([[User talk:TheJustinAllenK|talk]])''' | |||
:That is because they get way more visitors/traffic than us. There are three reasons for that: | |||
:*When we used to be at that website, we promoted it for years, but when we moved, they kept the old URL and all the links/popularity associated with that | |||
:*Because they are part of the wikia site/domain, they get promoted across all the other Wikia sites | |||
:*Because they are part of the wikia.com domain, the popularity of other wikia sites automatically gets added to theirs, making it show up MUCH higher in search results | |||
:The only way to fix this would be to make sure we got MANY more websites to link to GTW - so we ask all users to put links to GTW in their forum signatures, on their websites, on their facebook/twitter/youtube and wherever they can to spread the word about GTW. The only other thing we could do is to start paying to advertise GTW. Unfortunately, unlike Wikia, we don't have the budget for that.

Added Grand Theft Wiki to my forum signature on gtaforums.net, hopefully people will see it and click it. '''-[[User:TheJustinAllenK|TheJustinAllenK]] ([[User talk:TheJustinAllenK|talk]]) 01:02, 5 November 2011 (GMT)''' | |||
You know guys, I just noticed something. When I search up "Grand Theft Wiki" on Google, it appears first on the search page now.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] ([[User talk:MrLanceVanceDance|talk]]) 12:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
When you type in "Grand Theft Auto Wiki" GTA Wikia pops up first because that wiki gets the most traffic (I know because I'm a current contributor there). If you type in "Grand Theft Wiki", you get this site. | |||
== GTA III Asked & Answered == | |||
Shouldn't they be added to the Main Page as well? --[[User:Andreaz1|Andreaz1]] ([[User talk:Andreaz1|talk]]) 18:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Background == | |||
I just noticed the new background today. Well done - whoever did it! <small>-[[User:TheJustinAllenK|TheJustinAllenK]] ([[User talk:TheJustinAllenK|talk]])</small> | |||
:Thanks! It's still a work-in-progress but I thought we might as well get some [[GTA V]] images into it! [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 16:59, 4 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Proof Mentioning About This Wiki... == | |||
Hey, I noticed that Dan Houser is talking about Grand Theft Wiki here. But what I also noticed is that when I clicked on the link to the interview he said this, he and the interviewer never mentions GTW nor any specific wiki. He could be referencing any wiki in general. Now why is that [[User:Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8]] ([[User talk:Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|edits]]) 00:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC) | |||
:You're right that it wasn't specifically mentioned, but up until shortly before that interview, Grand Theft Wiki and the GTA Wikia were the same site. The Grand Theft Wiki site moved here (remaining open) whilst Wikia kept a copy open but inactive. After a period of stasis, the Wikia copy underwent a rebrand as 'GTA Wiki' and formed (in effect) a new site based on our old database at our old URL. It's not a completely black-and-white picture but this is our opinion, and our formal relationship with Rockstar implies the same.

::I see. so the interview was made, prior to the community split from Wikia. | |||

== Content change idea == | |||
Once the issue with uploading images is resolved, I think we should replace the second trailer of [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]] with the box art. [[User:IanPhoenix|Ian Phoenix]] ([[User talk:IanPhoenix|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/IanPhoenix|edits]]) 02:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Sounds like a good idea to me, the trailer is definitely getting a bit old now. '''[[User:JFletcher|JFletcher]]<sup>''[[User talk:JFletcher|Talk]]''</sup>''' <small>(formerly User:Biggest gta fan ever)</small> 02:22, 5 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
::I agree with the idea. Until the third trailer comes out, then we can place it back on there again.[[User:Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8]] ([[User talk:Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Tony 4-2-8-1-9-9-8|edits]]) 02:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
==Paragraphs== | |||
Has anyone else noticed that paragraphs don't show up? I know it's not the end of the world but it would improve readability. --[[User:Hehe5|Hehe5]] ([[User talk:Hehe5|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Hehe5|edits]]) 07:42, 15 August 2013 (BST) | |||
