Staff Pic
I'm making a staff page that shows the wiki's administrators more clearly. Therefore, I am making it so that the page shows the admin's name, but also an image. What I would like is for you to choose a pic that has something to do with the Worms Series, whether it is a weapon, location, or an individual worm itself. This will then be used above your name on the Worms Wiki:Administrators page. Thanks, LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 20:51, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Also, in case you haven't seen, it has now been moved to Worms Wiki:Staff instead. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 21:34, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

New Template
Hi again. I made a new template for the wiki to use on new articles, such as if a new game is announced and the information is added gradually then this template would come in handy. It is the Under Construction Template and it is currently being used on the Missions in Worms Battlegrounds page. Hope you like it! LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 17:47, January 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * I like it! Very useful indeed :)

 * Thank you, that's definately useful! Koenachtig (talk) 18:49, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect Category Name
If it's possible to rename a category, please do so with the "Worms: Reinforcements" category. The colon should not be there. Just remove the colon, that's all.

 * Hey mate,


 * That cannot be done, unfortunately. Has to be done manually.


 * Koenachtig (talk) 18:50, January 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Damn. Well, I'll do it myself sometime later. Same for the "Worms: Open Warfare" and "Worms: Open Warfare 2" categories, those colons need to go.


 * Boggy B (talk) 21:06, January 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Uh, Koen, you shouldn't use a "Worms Ultimate Mayhem" category... The colon is supposed to be there. But for "Worms: Open Warfare (2)", the colon shouldn't be there.


 * Boggy B (talk) 10:25, January 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * How does that work? I don't get it.
 * Koenachtig (talk) 10:27, January 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's just how it is. Team17 added a colon for the title of same games, like Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, but not Worms Reinforcements, Worms Clan Wars, or Worms Open Warfare, for example.

 * Fixed my mistake, thanks for the comment.

Torchwood007's Message
Hello, Koen!

I've joined this wiki today and I noticed this place needs a little bit of editing. For example, the 4th Generation pages are somewhat small, but something that I must ask you is this: can we make a page exclusive for the weapon called Boggy B? I mean, I think it's different enough to have it's own page, since one is a weapon, and the other is a character. What do you think?

Thanks, Torchwood007 (talk) 00:18, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome to Worms Wiki, Torchwood007. Since Koenachtig is not online at the moment, here is my response...


 * As much as I prefer separating certain articles instead of combining them, I personally believe there is no need to separate the "Boggy B" article, as there is not much to say about the weapon itself, therefore an article based on the weapon only would have little information and is not required. This is only my opinion, however. Thank you for your suggestion.

 * Hey there,
 * Welcome to the Wiki, and thanks for leaving a message on my talkpage about this. To be honest, I disagree with BoggyB (the user). There should indeed be a Boggy B (character) and a Boggy B (weapon) page. And a disambiguation page, of course. Great suggestion!
 * Cheers, Koenachtig (talk) 07:39, February 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Why's that? There isn't much to the weapon itself, so I believe keeping the articles not separate would be better. Perhaps we should wait a little for other users to share their opinions on whether we should separate it or not, don't you think?


 * Boggy B (talk) 07:50, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Boggy B ( the user) and me talked it over on Steam. Article seperation will be good!
 * Koenachtig (talk) 09:54, February 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you, guys!

Protecting Primary Articles
Is it a good idea to protect the wiki's primary articles, such as "Worms (series)", or "Worms (1995)"? Several other wikis do this.

These pages are never vandalized, but should I lock them anyway? I'm not sure if the primary articles of a wiki are protected to prevent vandalism or if they're just protected for their importance. I'm guessing both?

Boggy B (talk) 08:16, February 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * We'll make some protection policies!


 * Koenachtig (talk) 09:40, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * According to Wikia guidelines, pages should only be fully protected if they suffer from exessive vandalism. Without proof of this, the main page of a wiki must not be fully protected (although semi-protection (only autoconfirmed and above can edit) is allowed on the main page without such evidence) if it is trying to be eligable for Wikia's spotlight system (the wiki appearing at the bottom of other wikis). This is probably a good starting point for the creation of a local policy.
 * PartHunter (talk) 06:41, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I was indeed thinking about applying for a spotlight. I did look up the requirements, but I did not think of the main page being fully protected. The new policy does state something about protection, but since that is just a single line, it should propably get it's own article. If you feel like writing up this policy, feel free to do it! Otherwise, I'll make sure it gets done.
