Questions

  • Copyright. I would like add a few songs from the books to the wiki. But I don't know how what the copyright laws about this are. I is something that you are allowed to quote but you can't use large parts. I think this is something in between but were? (1 couplet from a song?) Scafloc 07:58, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
    • For poems, I'd say no more than 20% of a poem should be quoted. This seems to be squarely within reasonable amounts for fair use purposes. --Ran 11:09, 10 May 2007 (CDT)


  • On what page from which book is the song "The Reyne of Castamere"? Scafloc 07:58, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
    • Don't have the book right now, but it first appear in ASOS in the Arya chapter where the BWB hang Septon Utt. Tom o'Sevens sings it when it starts raining. And of course during the Red Wedding Catelyn remembers some verses.--The hairy bear (Send me a raven) 09:40, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
Thanks! Yesterday I did a lot of searching and I only came up with some lines of the Red Wedding. Scafloc 09:49, 10 May 2007 (CDT)


  • How do you change the $wgLogo path? --Eleventh 20:36, 5 January 2008 (CST)
    • I think only the administrator: Ran can do that, but I will look into that.Scafloc 11:04, 7 January 2008 (CST)
      • Thanks, if you need help making a logo, I could give it a try. Eleventh 20:25, 7 January 2008 (CST)


  • Why doesn't this Wiki have Search Suggest? It's so handy. Fatidiot1234 04:26, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
The wiki used to have this. Maybe it was not a default option in the latest upgrade of the software. Maybe you could ask Ran here or on the forum? Scafloc 12:28, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, it's a skin issue. Will be looking into fixing this some time soonish. --Ran 11:10, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
