Hiya! So, what sort of language should we use here? All formal and professional-like, like Wikipedia, or friendly and casual, like TV Tropes Wiki? I'm hoping the latter, as I think the wiki should have a sense of humour about itself. - Teeth

Whatever you are most comfortable with. This is a community-driven project. ;) - WikiSysop.

I think ye olde english would probably suit it best, but casual can't be that bad Barakeh 18:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

What sort of skins could be added to the wiki? Dox online

Still investigating the skins. --WikiSysop 20:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Search "Mediawiki skins" (With quotes) on google Dox online 20:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

This may sound stupid, but how do you post images? There are some people that seem to fail at that as well as me, so i guess that this could be useful... - Dakaruch :p

Some skins uploaded. Not great ones tho. Seems to be a shortage of create skins for MediaWiki. --WikiSysop 13:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Is anyone doing the GROWL page? I can try doing it. And if needed, I can try to translate articles to few other languages.(I know Justin would probably shoot me for this, but I am trying to help)- Rexie

You can sign what you wrote with 4 consecutive "~", I'm also looking forward to that GROWL page Barakeh 17:05, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

About the language debate, I think that correct English, together with grammar and punctuation should be used. We can still have an informal sense of humour while writing properly in English, or any other language for that matter. Besides, for international readers, correct English is surely easier to interpret? - Lemmie 17:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree about the whole language thing. I am doing the groups atm. (GROWL, GROZAA, etc) It will be on one article. Oh and I uptadet enemies in TRAOD section, and did some minor changes in other articles ;) OKAY EDIT! I will create a seperate article for GROWL... - Rexie

I made a page for Tomb Raider: The Prophecy seeing as it's the handheld TR I know most about. =P -Legend of Lara

The crappy GROWL page is up. Feel free to edit it with more =/ I leave it to Chris for the GROZAA page. Awesome work everyone at TRF! :tmb: Miss ya! - Rex

Most of the skins here are just blank. They are all white! Dox online 08:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay! I swear! This is my last writing here but I like to thank Quasimodo for the #937th post in GROWL Thread

Hugs to everyone on TRF! - Rexie from TRF.

Just finished Croft_Manor.

Their is a seperate page for Lara's Home? What is the difference?

What are you talking about Dox? Barakeh 09:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

It's the same actually, or I am uber confused xD - Rex

Notice Croft Manor and Lara's Home are both existing pages! EDIT: They have been merged. Dox online 09:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiSysop, you should really consider makeing this one HTML basis, it will look much better and of easier navigation. + most if other wikias use it why not this one? --Just Croft 21:08, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Just Croft

although it took me a long time, i have finally completed the enemies and characters sections on index!!! Thanks to those who actually did the research to find out the info!

Why was this wiki created? It seemed quite sudden. Dox online 08:57, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the style/tone to be used in the Wiki: since this is an encyclopedia, wouldn't an objective tone be best? Yet, many of the articles read like the babble of overenthusiastic fans (which we are, no doubt ;)) - but that style is appropriate in the forums only, a little more restraint would be advisable here. - Mytly 12:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed with Mytly, casual tone and facts only would ensure a great wiki project. Barakeh 20:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Sticking to what facts we have from the games and official sources is all well and good, but I think in some respects we should try to fill in gaps of what may have occurred - for example, how certain artefacts came to be, how they travelled from place to place etc. In my opinion, Tomb Raider III and The Last Revelation did this best, but there are still significant gaps in our information. Therefore, when our knowledge from the games runs out we should turn to historical information in order to try and inform readers about the artefacts, plots, locations and characters fit into the games and also to question certain aspects and offer possible solutions. PS: Is everyone on holiday or something? I feel like a lonely little archivist! :P Lemmie 22:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
