Re: Fandom staff intro and category suggestions
Hello,
I think I understand the reasoning behind what you are suggesting, but I'd prefer to leave the categories as is for now.
Category:ACCWiki is the category for pages related to the wiki itself, with Category:Asheron's Call being the root category for the content of the wiki. If Category:Asheron's Call Community Wiki becomes the root category, the pages in ACCWiki will need a replacement category.
I have been considering an overhaul of the homepage for a while, and I will keep this suggestion in mind when I get around to working on that.
I do have a request for you though. Can we get custom JS enabled here?
We have a wiki template, {{Calculate PXP}}, which resides on the Experience Points page. It used to function, using some code over on MediaWiki:Common.js. You can see how it is supposed to function on the fork of the ACCW project: http://acpedia.org/wiki/Experience_Points
My understanding is at some point custom JS was disabled by default, and has to be requested now. Is that correct? If so, is that something you can do?

- Hey Bluerock
- Thanks for the help with the js, I see it is working now. I did not originally write it. Looks like it was done by Widgeon on February 24, 2009. We've been around for a while :)
- I've been thinking about the category change more. Rather than moving Category:ACCWiki to Category:Asheron's Call Community Wiki, and then recategorizing all the pages currently in Category:Asheron's Call and previously in Category:ACCWiki, it seems the simpler approach would be to move Category:Asheron's Call (the current root category) to Category:Asheron's Call Community Wiki (the new suggested root category) and move Category:ACCWiki to something else, likely Category:Wiki. And then open Category:Asheron's Call to be repurposed.
- I can handle making this change. I'm going to think about the specific name changes more, and see what else about the category tree may need some touch-up, before implementing it.
- thanks

- I agree, that strategy makes the most sense. I do wonder, though, how does this improve SEO? If I am understanding this correctly, Category:Asheron's Call Community Wiki would contain no pages and just two sub-categories: Category:Asheron's Call and Category:ACCWiki (possibly to be renamed). I can envision a few other categories finding their way directly under Category:Asheron's Call Community Wiki, but not a substantial amount.
- And I do appreciate the offer to make the change, but I can handle this task. It seems fairly straight forward. Thanks! --An Adventurer (talk) 14:21, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Just wanted to let you know I made the category changes. --An Adventurer (talk) 16:32, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
