__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Welcome to all users! This page is where you can ask StrategyWiki-related questions to the staff and senior community figures, and they will do their best to answer. If you want to raise a topic for discussion (rather than just ask about it), please use the community issues forum instead. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. If your question does not pertain to editing StrategyWiki (e.g. asking for hints or game-specific information), please ask on the guide's talk page or on the forums.

Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (to the right) in case it was discussed some time ago.

To facilitate ease of browsing and replying, please:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list.
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs: ==Title==).
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding four tildes: ~ ).

Forum dead?
I see there's been no new posts in http://forums.abxy.org/viewforum.php?f=19 since Feb 2011, and it was hardly very active before then. Is it worth persevering with? Can it or should it be rejuvenated? --Pelago 12:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It will be redone, but we want to get proper integration with strategywiki working first. Unfortunately, it's taking longer to set up than we would have liked.  Until the new one is ready, any real discussion will just have to happen on the wiki itself. -- Prod (Talk) 14:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

The elusive Longshot image- FOUND AT LAST!
I know this is an "acting" help forum, but I want to address a longstanding annoyance that caused me to disappear from the wiki for some time (that and Calculus studies). I can safely say that the genuine 3-D model for Ocarina of Time's Longshot has finally been discovered- and replaced for good! This officially concludes and perfects the 3-D item model collection on the guide pages! If anyone has questions about the new image, I'll post the link where I spotted it. Pardon my excitement, but it took two years for the image to surface- understand my frustration has now been alleviated. --|Superpowered  Mario  04:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Joining SEIWA
The Square-Enix Inter-Wiki Alliance has been recently formed, and we're discussing the possibility of StrategyWiki joining them as a member (similar to our membership in NIWA). Do you guys think it would be a good idea? -- Prod (Talk) 20:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No objections. -- 20:23, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I think it would be great!  Pro  cyon  21:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * How has NIWA changed things for us? Have we seen a pickup in traffic? Any cross-wiki editorship? Have our partners seen increased traffic? Have any guides on either our or our partners' sites been improved?
 * I've got no objections to joining another alliance, as it can't hurt. Just wondering what benefits we've seen from this sort of partnership. — najzere T 09:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * We've seen a few referrals from them, and I assume they've seen some referrals from us. Thought it's mostly been with our "partners" rather than the other NIWA members.  It's also put us in touch with a lot of other gaming wikis.  We would never have gotten in touch with the Metroid Wiki guys without it, and I have seen edits by some of their members here. -- Prod (Talk) 16:58, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool, I guess the thing to do is keep expanding the network. — najzere T 02:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
