Template talk:Wikia Gaming Footer

Guidelines
Someone from the Gaming Wiki should really moderate this template page and put down some guidelines, but in absence of that, here are some guidelines I'll suggest:
 * All wikis
 * Should have a wordmark.
 * Upper section (Other gaming wikis...)
 * Should have at least 1,000 pages.
 * Should have a Community Messages filled out (MediaWiki:Community-corner).
 * Should have at least one active admin (sysop) in the last month.
 * Recent highlights
 * Should have at least one active admin (sysop) in the last 3 months.

Does that seem fair? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 31 Aug 2011 8:47 AM Pacific
 * I have one other obvious guideline to suggest:


 * All wikis
 * Should contain this template if they wish to be listed in it.
 * I think wiki activity is a better line to draw than the number of pages.
 * Why not use, say, 200 active users in the last 90 days as the divide? (see Special:Statistics). For one thing, this would move 7 more wikis to the lower group.  I'd be happy to go through and check Special:Statistics on each wiki. -User452 16:19, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Request
Is there a way to request to have your wiki on this template as I do not want to add without permisson--Tama63 Talk Twitter 17:15, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Template Use
I think that all wikis listed on this Template should have this template on their main page. Would anyone mind if I added this any of the wikis which are missing it? -User452 21:50, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

 * I think it's disgusting that these wikis are listed in the Wikia Gaming Footer, but do not carry the Wikia Gaming Footer on their wikis. -User452 04:45, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only 7 wikis listed in the footer used the current version of the footer, with another 4 using old versions. A total of 21 wikis did not have the footer at all, but I have now added the footer to 11 of those. Now, 18 wikis in total have the footer, 2 have opted out, and 8 wikis still do not have the footer. -User452 04:53, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's "disgusting", eh? Well, if you think that we're taking unfair advantage of the traffic without reciprocating or similar, I don't think anyone on Zeldapedia would mind being taken off of this. Of course, it does benefit Wikia for people to have access to a maximum amount of content so that they spend more time browsing and look at more advertisements, so they probably won't remove us even if we ask, but whatever. At least we won't be disgusting anymore! - Is drak  thül  05:33, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * As I said on your wiki, no-one is forcing you to be listed in the footer. You should have removed yourselves from the footer when you removed the footer from your wiki. -User452 05:35, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it'd been nicer to ask, instead of assuming people would want it. Just a thought. Ariyen 17:37, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Saying that I didn't "ask" implies that I gave you no choice. I said to you, "... you can add it by ...", which gives you a choice.
 * This footer is on all wikis by default. I did not add you to it, and it would be rude of me to remove you without giving you the choice to add it.  Of course it's optional, and anyone can opt out. :) -User452 21:51, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
