    What I mean is a seperate section. Rather then mix them with the current list if you are going to do that.

    Although you would be better off just leaving the link to the thread. Save you a lot of heartache.

    Meh, heartache, If it's worth having the new cards at all it's worth having them there in full.

    It'll take a bit of time tho :P .

    I am not sure what you mean by the elitism logo. They are seperate cards and not hosted on boards. The ones in the list are taken from the gathering page.

    The others I would assume an unofficial list until such time they get added to the gathering page, although someone should be doing that for a fair few of them.

    Also if you create a page for each of the unofficial cards you have the chance that the picture will disappear from its hosted site.

    .. I also didn't create all the official ones. You will see that a number of them have a generic description and should be filled out and attributed to the author.

    I see a small problem here boys. The cards on the gathering thread in photoshoppage are not hosted on boards.ie. they could end up being deleted if the user hosting them runs out of webspace.

    you will need to have them all moved to the one folder on boards.ie if you are going to include them in the wiki, otherwise people are going to be following a load of dead links in the future.

    I'll rehost them myself so.

    why don't you just ask Devore/Cloud or any of the other admins just to host them? Give them a list (which I suspect has what has stopped them from bother to this point). That way they will get added to the img generator as well.

    Whoever makes the cards should have a copy in their boards user webspace, no?

    Hosted in various places. Would be better to move them to boards so they don't go the way of [wiki]KEVO[/wiki].

    Another small suggestion:

    I can see myself making many links to wikipedia itself. Do you know if it's possible to create markup like [GoToWiki:article_name] so we don't have to type in the full Wikipedia url? Pure timesaver, just something that I thought of.

    :)

    I'll do up some pages for the one's I've created anyway, seeing as I know the background behind them. I'll alter the links then when they're re-hosted.

    Read up a bit on Wikipedia.org for standard conventions for linking and formatting.

    Makes everyone's life easier :)

    I'd never believe this stuff if there wasn't links to the threads. ROFL.

    It seems to be taking off really well at the moment, influenced by a lot of time and effort by Hobbes and Seamus. How many pages are we up to now?

    Lets be real nerds and analyse some statistics!

    I've added a temporary solution for the new gather cards so far; will be a damn sight easier to use them at least :) .

    Nice Cult! :)

    I think anyone who owns the card should then update the index with the history and their card as well. It seems to imply that the list above is all mine when it isn't.

    Absolutely, and BoardsWiki is for editing by all, so none of you have any excuse for not adding a description ;) .

    Will have to edit The Gathering thread in Photoshoppage to reflect this...

    Cult, just create a new members account and PM me the details of it. Throw new cards into it so that we know where to look every now and again (or when we're poked about it) to add them to the main list.

    How do you actually create a new topic? The only way I can see to do it is to put a link into an existing topic.
