Comic Book Series talk:Community Portal

Is the "Community Portal" supposed to be where people ask questions about this wiki? I'm wondering if there's a wiki with pages on specific characters in comics. (I was a little sad that this wiki doesn't have pages for specific characters) --EarthFurst 18:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * WikiPedia seems to fulfill the function of info about comic characters pretty well. We often include links to WikiPedia info about characters in the characters section of a comic's page here. --Davidscarter 12:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Except (in my experience) some wikipedia editors gun for deletion of some comics-related articles (comic characters, comics series, etc) --EarthFurst 02:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The goal of this Wiki is to provide information about comic series. If you want to start a Wiki about comic charatcers, I'd encourage you to do so. --Davidscarter 23:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Links with Wikipedia
We're finding a few people want to detail storylines at Wikipedia, and we just can't handle that stuff, so we were wondering if we could set up some sort of transwiki of the information across and build interwiki linking, so that our page on a comic book series could link to yours. Also, what's your policy on creator information, do you list all creators or just the current team? Appreciate thoughts. wikipedia:User:Steve block 16:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I have no idea on how to set up a transwiki/interwiki linking, but it sounds okay. What is your wiki?
 * Usually creator info is the current team, but there's no actual policy at this point. --Davidscarter 18:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia would link to this wiki (comic book series wiki) by setting up a template similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Comixpedia --EarthFurst 18:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ouch. Sorry to take so long to get back here to you.  I'm from the English Wikipedia.  I'll look into the template and get discussion on my end about the idea.  Transwiki basically means that we copy across information that you're better suited to host. wikipedia:User:Steve block 12:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * We really aren't interested in copying over info from WikiPedia whole cloth. There are rather strict format and content guidelines here...--Davidscarter 20:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * But if information is transferred which meets the guidelines? Can you point me to the guidelines? wikipedia:User:Steve block 15:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Just see the section under 'Participate' on the main page, plus of course the about section.--Davidscarter 20:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
