Forum:Facebook?

--Thenewguy34 22:59, March 19, 2012 (UTC) I am just curious if there is a guide on how to make a page for a wiki on fb and make it so you can like it from the site? One of the takes says reach 3 facebook likes. When I type into facebook "Once Upon a Time Wiki" it says that 87 people have liked it however I can't seem to find anywhere to like the page? or the page itself. When I click the link it just brings me to the Once Upon a Time Wiki site. Jake 03:41, March 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Go to facebook and create a new like page. Once you set that up, you can generate a like box from that page. Take the code it gives you and put it on your wiki.--


 * Ummm... it's not that simple. Usually, you have to put the Facebook like box code into a MediaWiki: page and then use the  tag on the page where you want the like box to appear.
 * Have you made a Facebook page for your wiki yet? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 19 Mar 2012 1:28 PM Pacific
 * Actually, it is that simple. I had Ninja Gaiden Wiki's like box code straight on the main page for a while. Never had a problem.--


 * Link please. If it is so simple, you should be able to link to an example. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Mar 2012 2:55 PM Pacific

Verbatim tag

 * How can I get the verbatim tag off of MediaWiki.org? -- 21:29, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? The verbatim tag is on every Wikia wiki. 21:38, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * The  tag if for embedding raw HTML into a wiki page so it doesn't get eaten by the wiki parser.
 * You can see an example of it in use at wowwiki:Template:WoW_Answers_widget.
 * The code on the page is
 * You can see the embedded HTML (in this case to create a question at an answers wiki) at wowwiki:MediaWiki:WoW_Answers_form. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 19 Mar 2012 1:52 PM Pacific
 * How can I use it on a non-Wikia MediaWiki installation? -- 22:51, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * These forums are for supporting Wikia wikis, sorry. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Mar 2012 2:56 PM Pacific

Geez Louise
Do we really need to connect our wikias with Facebook? That's a risky idea, considering the fact of how much stuff goes on on these social networking sites. Some people will even post their passwords on their profile, even if that number is few.--Thenewguy34 22:59, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
