HOkay

Maverick King - Been haunted by a million screams: TALK - When it is safe. Hokay. I've archived the old talk page to make room for the new hotness. Too much space and takes too long to load. Now, when I'm randomly surfing this wikia. There are a lot of minor pages. Most of these room pages. I nominate this for deletion but I wanna make sure every1 else agrees. If not deleation, at least something more..... organized i guess.

Umbrella Chronicles

I'll be starting work on the UC page as it needs to be mostly re-written since the game has been out for a while. Oh, and the Resident Evil 3 section needs to be filled in, with the plot details, and so on since its only a few lines long. Zeltrax 13:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Main Page design

Hullo! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I have a suggestion to make regarding the Main Page. You may be interested in stealing some code from the Wikia Starter wiki which is the current new wiki base design. It makes content a bit easier to add and is easily expanded. Keep up the great work! Kirkburn (talk) 18:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

As you've probably noticed I've given the Main Page a revamp. The old one seemed to be getting a bit unwieldy and lots of weird things going on. I hope you like the new design - I was thinking about trying to fit the old colour scheme (red and blue) on it, but I'm not sure light red would come out very well. I've tried to preserve as much of the links and info from the original design, too.

Next up, I'm going to see about helping out with categorising the site, hopefully making navigation easier. Kirkburn (talk) 16:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Some fings

1. The date on the main page is off (Pacific Time)

2. How do I view all the quotes from the main page?

Maverick King - Been haunted by a million screams: TALK - When it is safe. You can't. They randomly pop up. If you would like to edit then go here but please don't fuck it up

Monaco skin

Hullo! I've just set your site to default to a Monaco skin (slate in this case) - this is the new Wikia default skin, and is now the main actively developed Wikia platform. As a sucessor to Quartz, it comes with even more customizability - you can find out more on w:c:inside:Monaco Skin Customization, where you can also find out info about the widgets available.

An admin can set the default site skin via the skin section on Special:Preferences, or by editing MediaWiki:AdminSkin. If users wish to see another skin than the default, they can untick "See custom wiki skins (recommended)" on the same page. Kirkburn (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Maverick King - Been haunted by a million screams: TALK - When it is safe. Ugh. Disgusting. I hate all the damn ads and bloody bars and tabs.

If ANYONE wishes to cange theirs back then use their Preference Page, select "Skins". make shure it's been selected NOT to use customized and official skins of the Wiki... then select "Monobook"... then it will go back to normal.Forerunner 21:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Categorisation

I've just been doing work on sorting out the categorisation of the wiki ... most stuff should now be accessible from Category:Browse and its subcategories. However, there's still a lot of uncategorized pages and templates that need to be dealt with, whilst the Category:Templates list could probably be reorganised somewhat.

Anyway, I've made a start :) There's a whole list of things to do on the community portal if anyone wants to help out! Kirkburn (talk) 17:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Gaming IRC channel

Hullo! I am Kirkburn, your friendly local Wikia Gaming Helper!

You may be interested to know there is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming on chat.freenode.net, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. If you are not familiar with IRC clients, you can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming.

Different people may be on sporadically, but we organize weekly chats at a fixed time so we can get the most number of people online at the same time to ask and answer questions, or just to hang out. The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis (e.g. WoW, Halo) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following this link.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! Kirkburn (talk) 11:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Maverick King - Been haunted by a million screams: TALK - When it is safe. Kirkburn has a point. I've been on other IRC's a it's a chance to finally talk and rub elbows w/ some of the admins and other users as well.

Main page update

I've been working on a new main page layout - very similar to the old one, but with a few fairly important tweaks. You can find out more on User talk:Kirkburn/Dev. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks! Kirkburn (talk) 17:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Due to the similarity between my dev copy and the live page, I have copied over my updated version. I hope it is to your liking! Kirkburn (talk) 13:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Main antagonists/protagonists

Shouldn't the people in the spin-off series not be mentioned in these articles? And why's Ada a protagonist? She's not on either side really. Kamrein L. Laemmle 03:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Re4leonscottkennedy - "Umbrella's going down, whether I'm here to see it or not.": TALK - When Umbrella's not watching Risking her life for our friend Mister K. doesn't count? You get to play as her in RE2 at least, doesn't that count? She's not working for Umbrella, she's working for someone against them, and that sounds like good-guy material to me.

She works for Wesker, but turned on him to gain more power. She's like Wesker only she's more devious. Kamrein L. Laemmle 03:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Re4leonscottkennedy - "Umbrella's going down, whether I'm here to see it or not.": TALK - When Umbrella's not watching Are you kidding? She works for the good guys, AKA S Corp or the Organization! Hello?! Wesker was the one who saved her! She thought that she was going to die anyways, but Weskie the Loner just had to step into the way!

I'mma just end it there cos it's getting too much like Youtube comments.Kamrein L. Laemmle 20:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The S corp and the organization aren't goodguys. Remeber, Wesker worked for both.

Ha Ha

Nice change. Adds a more horror feel. Kamrein L. Laemmle 22:34, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Release Countdown

I think you should fix it.

Re4leonscottkennedy - "Umbrella's going down, whether I'm here to see it or not.": TALK - When Umbrella's not watching Don't mean to be an advertiser and all, but it seemed like a last resort. I just created a site for horror...erm...stuff (like characters, areas, ect.) and it's called Constructed Horror. You can also make those roleplaying mazes that are like those good ol Choose Your Own Adventure Books, you know those? There are already preset templates, and I recently started this, so if you are a horrorholic like me, then this site is for you. Just don't add any fanfic to it. Gory Storm is the one for that. LINK: Con Horror

Yo

Can I advertise the Gory Storm Wiki here? I haven't gotten like, anyone to go on it but I know there's like a shit load of people into that fanfic deal. I don't know who runs the site so that's why I'm posting it here. Kamrein L. Laemmle 03:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Comics

Hi, my name is Billy Arrowsmith, and I'm acting as a representative of the DC Database Project. I love this wiki, and I've been lurking for awhile, and you guys really have your stuff put together well. The only thing I notice you guys are a little bit lacking on is comics. Over at the DCDP, one of the companies we cover is WildStorm Productions, which publishes all of the Resident Evil comics. I don't actually own any of the RE books, but I know there's a new one coming out, and I know how difficult figuring out good ways to write up articles for comics is. We've been working on templates and conventions for comics for years, and we have a pretty good system set in place already. I'm just offering our services. If you guys would like to outsource your articles to us for creator/publication information, as well as the already set-in-place conventions, feel free to. On the articles we do already have in place, we're referencing you guys as a preferential authority to Wikipedia. It's a win-win for both wikias, we work together, we both grow.

- Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 23:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

It would be nice if somebody would get back to me, even simply to say that you guys aren't interested.

- Billy Arrowsmith (Talk), 18:58, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Pachislot

Does anyone know the official name for the pachislot? Is it just "Biohazard: Pachislot" or "Biohazard Pachislot"? We need an article for it. - The 4th Snake 19:02, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Pachislot? Could you provide a link?-- Forerunner 19:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

There are a few vids avaialble on YouTube: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The logo says Biohazard so I assume it was only released in Japan but I'm not sure. It's also called Pachinko on YouTube. - The 4th Snake 18:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

request for dino crisis removal

Dino crisis has absolutley nothing to do with resident evil so I think it should be removed from the spin off games listLukeDavis93 00:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

And yet no one cares about the fact that Devil May Cry is allowed, and that the Survivor game based in the DC universe is also allowed.--Forerunner 11:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

theres no reason that Dino Crisis should be here, there is no connection between DC and RELukeDavis93 16:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

other than the fact that they were made by the same people and company, they both share the same side-story series, and the fact that many things in R.E. were tested on D.C. first... ie: using an action button in Cutscenes, a Combo-points system, purchasing weapons rather than finding them...etc.--Forerunner 16:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

But it has NOTHING to do with the storyline. It's not part of any of the canon in the games, movies, or books.

Neither does Devil May Cry.--Forerunner 18:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I KNOW that. I'm just making a point.

^ ^ ^If you actually run around the facility in Dino Crisis 1, there are containers that have the Umbrella Corporation logos on them. Just thought I'd throw that in there. But I don't think that makes Dino Crisis any more "Resident Evil" than the Jill's Sandwiches bar in Dead Rising. Fafnir1234 14:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Featured Articles

CCRedfield_08 - "CCRedfield_08, Reporting for Duty": TALK - IDK If you guys need someone to do the featured article section, I would like to volunteer. I have some experience in doing that section, so I won't be a perfect candidate. Also, I think we should have a news section to spread the word on what's new in the Resident Evil universe, like new games announced or trailers, movies, etc.

They're good ideas but...

1. Few users vote.
2. We tried a news section before but it didn't go well...not enough attention. Now we just use MediaWiki:Sitenotice - don't dismiss it or you could miss some important stuff.--Forerunner 11:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Well for the featured articles, I can let you admins decide what article can be featured or you can let me decide. I've seen alot of great, well written articles, like Jill Valentine's article. For the news section, I would take FULL responsibility for it. I can let users tell me what news has arise in the RE universe or in the RE wiki and I will write the news down so that users won't cause any chaos in the news section. CCRedfield 08 20:15, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Relatives

I noticed that a while ago that the relatives part of character infoboxes dissapered dose anyone know what happened and if it can be fixed Viral Master

It was removed over a year ago due to its pointlessness. There are well other 150 named characters in the series, only ten or so would have used that field... the same goes for the Marital status, as we just don't know.-- Forerunner 12:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Rez 4

Could you guys finish the walkthrough for Resident Evil 4, I suck to much to figure it out, Thanks! Firon 15:44, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
