CW Template
I added it to the main page, because I added Arrow to it


 * Thanks for that :) — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 22:48, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Template
Character Template is messed up, i don't know how it got messed up so I can't fix it. Can you?

Request
Hi, could you please answer my request on Logo Creation wiki? Thanks. :)  Evanf  (Talk) 00:13, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Main Page Changes
Hi! I'm Lexi and I'm a member of the Wikia Community Development team. Would you like some help with the main page? This is a great wiki with AMAZING content, and because the show on the CW is coming up soon I think you could benefit from a makeover. Check out Infamous Wiki, that's one I made for a different new show. Is it cool if I help you out with the main page? I wouldn't change much- I love the character portal and everything, I'd probably just find ways to break up the text with images, maybe add a blogs area and a poll? What do you think?

Affiliation
Hey, Lexi again- I hope you like what I did with the main page. I was thinking of adding a bit more, but as of now I really like the color scheme. I was wondering if you would be interested in affiliating with Green Arrow wiki. I think it would be really beneficial for both wikis in terms of becoming more popular and getting good traffic. What do you think?

Here to help
Greetings! I've been assigned to help out here for the upcoming season, so I'll be watching the show and then adding episode pages or info as needed in order to help keep things up-to-date. I won't be jumping on immediately after each episode airs, since ideally a community will blossom and there will be enough editors and die-hard fans that I wouldn't be able to get on fast enough to add new info. However, if after a day or two there is nothing up yet, I'll jump in and make sure there's a page for the episode and content to go with it. If you need or would like help on any other front - background, wordmark, main page, templates, etc. - please don't hesitate to ask. I'm sure I'll have some ideas of my own for you - I already have a couple - but I'll bring them up with you first in order to get your input/approval. Here's hoping for a good show!

 * That's great to hear! Thanks! As for a background, I'm thinking of designing a new one sometime soon when I get the chance, and the wordmark may be changed depending on how the show's intertitle looks. And I'm welcome for any new ideas, so feel free to voice your opinion. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 06:41, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hi
Let me introduce myself, my name Orion001. I am into DC comic book shows like the Batman and Smallville. I can not wait to see this show on in the fall. You can find me at Arthur Wiki, Dinosaur Train Wiki, My Little Pony Wiki and Nature of Toronto Wiki. You can drop me a line at those sites and see all my work there too.

Related Videos Module
Hi, my name is Nic and I'm a member of the Wikia Content Development Team. As you may have seen on many wikis such as Call of Duty, there is a new module for the right hand column that displays related videos to the Wiki. This is a new feature that we want to place on your wiki, would you be cool with allowing this? The module can be seen on any page, here is an example - Wagnike2 21:15, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, for sure, it'll add a little something to the wiki. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 09:20, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

Fall TV Badge
Greetings! With the fall TV season approaching, we've created this main page badge so users can have an opportunity to see what's coming up, and possibly learn about shows they might not have heard of yet:

As always, this is a completely optional addition, but we wanted to include this wiki in our list of fall TV wikis that we're offering it to. At 300px width, it's designed to live on the top of the right main page column, but if you choose to add it you're welcome to move it anywhere you like. Please message me on my talk page to let me know if you'd like to add it (I can put it up for you, or you're welcome to add it yourself), or if you choose to decline - so that I can check this wiki off my list. Thank you for your time!

Sorry to bother you, but when is the first episode going to premiere on TV because I am itching to watch a new D.C. Comics tv show.

Cool New CW Show
Hey, just wanted to let you know there's a wiki for a great new CW show coming out, Beauty and the Beast! It's a darker remake of the fairytale and the promos so far are looking pretty good. Check it out and share with your community if you think they'd like it!

Gcheung28 (talk) 20:45, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

thx alot really looking forward to this show

i was trying to make a new page but it didnt come out right


 * For a page like that, you should use the Character template with information worded by you, not copied, copyrighted information. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 05:21, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hi,

Thanks a lot for the welcome message. This is my first time here on this wiki.

I'm just looking to around to see if there is anything I can do.

Is there a way to get to the episodes from the home page because it isn't under any of the tabs. Thanks thodgins (talk) 22:14, October 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's actually a good idea. I've added a section to the heading. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 23:09, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

About my edits
Sorry about that, but can I ask why you removed everything, not the infobox, I gave sources for everything. Not thats its a big deal, I was just comparing this to all the other wikis I edit there, and trying to make things more detailed. Or do you guys like everything very simple. No worries Buffyfan123 (talk) 02:59, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, I guess you guys are way more tougher than every wiki I've been too ever and edited for. Thats why I was very surprised by it being removed. I guess I wont bother editing here anymore, as was going to start a timeline and character appearances page which is common on wikis, I figured it will just be removed so wont bother. Thanks. Buffyfan123 (talk) 03:05, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thats ok, you did kinda scare me when I made edits, as I just like to edit and make wiki's more detailed. But thats ok :) How about I hold off on those pages for now, maybe create them later down the road when more episodes air. Or perhaps the character appearances just list them on the season 1 page and with the a appears in 3 of 22 episodes etc. that sorta thing. But I see your point in not creating or doing it now, too early until we get more episodes. Buffyfan123 (talk) 03:14, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Quentin Lance
Thanks ... I didn't know how to update the old photo. Do I just upload a new photo over the old one ? thodgins (talk) 05:58, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Accident
I was looking for the something and I ended up adding a cateogory by mistake. I think I deleted it. If you could take a look to make sure I didn't screw anything up that would be great. Thanks thodgins (talk) 13:40, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Also, could add Locations to the Front Page tab under Arrow. Thanks thodgins (talk) 17:04, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

IMAGE UPLOAD
I dont know what was the previous problem with me uploading images recently but did i upload them right this time????

i also made a photo gallery section on the Dameged episode page and would like to know if i did it correctly???? Srry if there has been problems recently

the only reason i put a gallery is because every other wiki has one especially when its concerning a tv show and its episode or character

Well i dont mean to be rude or anything but dont you think that the episode page need one pic from the episode and tis page WOLFPRINSE (talk)

and what about the picture for long gunmen episode??? WOLFPRINSE (talk) 03:43, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

and also what im not getting is whats the difference between your pic and my pic???? WOLFPRINSE (talk) 03:46, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

i didnt mean long gunmen sorry i ment "Honor thy Father" there is no picture for that episode i had put one up there WOLFPRINSE (talk) 03:48, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

alrite i see ite now...... but i read the image policy so what is the difference between my pictures and your picture i am not understanding???? WOLFPRINSE (talk) 04:08, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
Regarding the reverts, what's wrong with having categories for family/gender? Char subcats are useful segregators for navigation and organizing. +Yc 11:58, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Categories don't take up much space, no text does compared to the size of pics and stuff. With only characters, and the rare vigilante/villain cats, there's sorta a lot of space left at the bottom of char articles. +Yc 21:02, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Royal Flush Gang
The Royal Flush Gang are a group of villiains in the comics as well on tv. There is King and Ace so far, but I am guessing soon Queen and Jake will appear because that would make a complete set.

Wiki
I'm just wondering, since you are the only Admin, do you own this wiki? Like did you create it by yourself or was it created with others?

Thanks129.97.150.119 21:49, October 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * As can be seen here, I actually adopted the wiki, but on my own with no other help. So in a way, yes, I own it. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 01:56, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki
Oh ... Ok. I didn't know that people could own wikias. I guess the admins at community central mislead me. They said anyone could join, edit and be part of the community and move up the ranks. I'll lay off the edits. I ... well ... thanks for your help! 129.97.51.115 03:55, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
Hey there, Makeshift. I just had a quick question. How could I add an entirely new category, and then apply them to other pages? Thank you. NightwingOfTheFuture: #1 Oliver Queen Fan (talk) 06:10, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Hi it's Svärd, I am going to add more information on the Oliver Queen page of what happend to him on the island and i would appreciate if you don't delete the information becuse every thing i write has been confirmed in flashbacks.Svärd (talk) 19:45, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. In future, please do not move the page to an even worse title; it just makes for more cleaning up. — MakeShift ( talk  &middot; contribs ) 22:53, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Favicon
Hello MakeShift. I'm not sure if you remember me; I edited at the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki that you despise. Anyway, I love the show so I thought I might as well look for the wiki and I was surprised you were the main admin here. One of the few things I noticed was that this wiki was missing a favicon. So I thought you might be interested in using this one. I don't mind if you won't use it; I'm just trying to help. So, anyway, I'll probably see you around. :) &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;
 * Thank you. And I noticed the character template have two image boxes, one for the civilian form and one for their alter-ego. Is it that way because you want the template to allow you to toggle between the two images? &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;
 * Would you mind if I create a profile image replacement page? &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;
 * No, I mean a page where users could vote on an image that could replace the page's current profile image. Also, would you mind if I change the color of the templates a bit? &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;
 * If you don't mind, I want to create the page. And as for the template, I only wish to replace the ? barely visible #D8F5D8 color with #7CCD7C. &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;
 * Very well then. Anyway, I believe this wiki has enough of a community to have more policies, such as categories and MOS. I would do it myself, but as you have said earlier, it would be better for the admin to create it. &lt;&lt;&lt;OUTBURST&gt;&gt;&gt;

Cast Change
The Legacies cast list needs to be updated. Two different people are credited as Teddy Reston/Jack. Warren Christie should be Carter Bowen. I don't see where to do that myself...

Adminship
Hi makeshift, im Cerealguymeme, i was just wondering what it takes to be an admin or something on this wiki.

bro, do u even lift?   20:58, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate image
Hey, I added an image that was jpg ... I couldn't find how to delete it. I had asked thodgins46 ... before but they didn't know how to do it either. If you could delete it that would be great. Thanks so much. Have a great day! Agcollabwalk (talk) 16:22, December 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Which image in particular? NightwingOfTheFuture: #1 Nightwing Fan. (talk)

Count Vertigo
First I am not on this site very often so there is no worries. I tend to over do my undoing. Second thing is that You could of changed Count Vertigos name when you find out more about the character instead of deleteing the page.

Orion001 (talk) 16:40, December 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * True, but as is I feel it's just safer to leave the page uncreated until we get a name. —MakeShift (talk) 01:30, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Malcolm Merlyn to be a Main Character
I was wondering if we should add Malcolm Merlyn to the list of characters on the homepage, now that he is going to be the big villain for the season at least, of course it is your choice, but just a thought

-RG4215 (Talk) December 30th 12:21 UTC-1

Sara Lance
Her name was spelled like so on her gravestone in the episode Vendetta. Is her name spelled "Sarah Lance" on any official CW site or something that I maybe missed? :)
 * Oops, sorry. I'd assumed that someone had just changed the page for no reason. Don't worry, it's changed back. —MakeShift (talk) 23:25, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. No problem. Thanks for being nice about it :D redwall64 14:15, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

I was looking through the Oliver Queen article and found some mistakes in grammar. I made some edits to fix them but I was wondering if you could point out other articles that I could fix.

64.142.9.230 03:48, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Feel free to peruse through the wiki's pages, as seen on Special:Allpages, correcting any grammar as you please. Also, we'd be happy to have you as an active editor by signing up for an account! —MakeShift (talk) 05:09, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Arrow soundtrack
Hey I was wondering if anyone know what song is played when the dark archer pulls his hood off and thanks for making this wiki great.

 * Sorry, I don't know, though if I find any information on it I'll be sure to send you a message! —MakeShift (talk) 05:30, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Out of curiosity, if you're the only admin or beaurocrat, then who created the wikia for Arrow? You? Anyways, nice job on the wikia so far, looks great!


 * All that info can be seen on Arrow Wiki:About. Arrow Roh created the wiki as a personal wiki, but I adopted and revamped it as an Arrow encyclopedia. —MakeShift (talk) 01:12, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

New Template that is really useful
Hi I'm a big fan of Arrow and I would like to contribute more to the wiki. As you know the episodes of the show have a lot of flashback scenes and there are characters who we've seen on the show who's current fate is unknown(e.g. Yao Fei, Deathstroke). I think the wiki would really benefit from a "ref" template. What that does is when you write on a character's biography about there adventure on the island at the end of the info(told from the last episode) it shows  ("Pilot") telling the reader which episode the events unfolded which keeps the information accurate. I hope you aprove.

- ShehbazAhmed (talk) 17:56, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be correct if Derek Reston would be placed in the category, Keepers of Oliver's Secret? I mean, Oliver actually did reveal it to him before he died.. Anyways, if it doesn't make sense, then I understand.

-ZombifiedRipper

Bratva
Hi Will. I just want to ask (cuz I'm watvhing Vertigo right now and I can't remember, and it's not really on the given page.. did Oliver have a Solntsevskaya Bratva tattoo on his chest, which he used to convince the men in the warehouse that he was one of them or something? I can't remember for sure, not even the episode.. lol, but do you? Could you refresh my memory of it? Thanks :D <span style="background-color:clear; color:#000080; border:blue solid 2px; -moz-border-radius:6px; -webkit-border-radius:6px; border-radius:6px; padding:0.5em; border-right:0px;">redwall64 08:54, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Recap or Plot
Hi Makeshift. On episodes, is the template Synopsis and then Plot or is it Recap. I'm seeing both on some of the episodes. I can change them all to the correct one depending on what you tell me.--Raggon7 (talk) 02:07, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Comic Template
I have made a comic template for issues of the Arrow tie-in comic. I just read the recently released issue of Arrow and it tells us stuff about Slade Wilson and Yao Fei that wasn't known. So I really think this info needs to be added to the wiki. Please tell me what you think of the template

ShehbazAhmed (talk) 18:49, February 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you would like to see the template on an actual page go here: Wintergreen (issue).
 * --ShehbazAhmed (talk) 20:45, February 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's great! I meant to get around to that, though I'd forgotten about it. I'm actually limited on money, so I haven't gotten the latest chapters of the comics. Feel free to add information about comics to any relevant pages, though if it's unknown when it is placed in between episodes, don't. —MakeShift (talk) 09:01, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well I understand what your saying but the comics are regarded as canon on the show meaning the info has to be added. So far I only have the latest comic. I'll get more when I get a chance to go to the store and get an itunes card. It's strange that there is no detailed info about the comics. There isn't even pages for the issues on the large DC Database.

--ShehbazAhmed (talk) 15:52, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh no, definitely add information to the articles, and other respective articles where needed, but if it's unknown where inbetween Ollie has taken down a villain, for example, then we won't know where to place it in the Oliver Queen article. —MakeShift (talk) 20:48, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
