Copyright problems

Ok, I've look at dozens of the articles on this new wiki. If every article of substance hasn't been copied from Wikipedia, then I'd be very surprised. At this point, I think you may need to consider wiping the article space and start over. It'll be an abrupt solution, but it'll be the only one that'll be sure to get everything. Not to mention a big bold warning to not copy things from Wikipedia without following the rules. It can be done, but if it's not done right, it breaks their rules, which makes this site look bad. I'm sure everybody meant well, but sadly, I don't think they knew what they were doing. Mistermanticore 23:29, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

Search Suggest

Scafloc suggested that I contact you here. My question is why this wonderful wiki doesn't have Search Suggest. It's very handy, and even flatliner wikis like http://romanchurches.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page have it, at least a little. Thx. Have a good. Mike Fatidiot1234 05:23, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Hrm, good question. I will look into this. Have any pointers as to where one would find a Search Suggest plugin? Or does one need to upgrade Mediawiki? --Ran 08:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, it's a skin issue. Will look into how to fix this. --Ran 11:09, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

New Main Page

In the banner I have added the category for the TV series.

I made another change: in the last version the width of the banner was set to an absolute value. I changed it to relative values. For the title and subtitle below it is 60% and for the two category columns 20% each. With a resolution of 1024 x 768 or more you don't have to scroll to the right AND the text "Welcome to A Wiki of Ice and Fire" stays on the same row. What do you think?

Excellent! Especially moving to relative width, I noticed that the absolute width was the issue but wasn't sure how to go relative. I think that will work very well, especially on mobile devices. Ran 13:49, 2 July 2011 (CDT)
