Wiki References / Editors' Test Article
August 21, 2010, 12:54:15 AM
The following is a test article editors may use to home in on their error catching abilities.  This article has spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other such errors which will need to be found during the test taking process.  Taking this test is completely optional, and may be done at any time at the discretion of the tester.  In order to take this test, all that is required is a text editing software such as Microsoft Word or Wordpad.  However, is is extremely recommended that any automated spell checking device on the software is turned off before the text of the test is copied to the document.  Any use of a spell checking device during a test can not be helped if decided upon by the tester, but please remember that it will not help you advance in your abilities.  Once copied, the test taker will manually edit out all the errors he/she may find.  Afterwards, the tester may use a spell checking software to discover the errors he/she may of missed.  Using a software to check for errors will not always result in every error being found, and may flag a correct portion wrong.  As such, a proofreader is highly recommended.  

If you have any questions or suggestions towards the article or its process, please contact me via the NIWA Forums PM system.   Credit to Tacopill for helping me with this. :P

What are some interactive flash games you could play over and over again?  

One I just discovered is this.  [Yeah, it's old.]  You play as William Hung dancing in American Idol while he sings "She Bang."  Use the arrow keys to dance plus the spacebar to moonwalk, and there are a few scenes from American Idol to make it more epic

You've seen this in every forum, but this one has a more real-life title. :P  

If you are leaving the forum, or coming back after a long period of time, make that announcement here.

Wiki References / MediaWiki Information
June 11, 2010, 08:20:59 PM
MediaWiki's Main Site

MediaWiki is an open-source software suite that powers many popular community-edited sites, such as Wikipedia, as well as the wikis that make up the NIWA. MediaWiki allows people from all over the globe to collaboratively build encylopedia-like websites with ease.

MediaWiki is the product of the MediaWiki Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to make the sum of all human knowledge readily available to anyone who wants it. Although they are far from reaching that goal, Wikipedia has become their good first step - luckily for us, the MediaWiki Foundation also wishes to share the software that runs their many informative websites.

MediaWiki uses a special formatting language called wiki markup to format its article pages and content. Wiki markup is easy to learn, making wikis easy to contribute to by pretty much anybody who frequents the internet. In this way, we encourage everyone to get out there and begin contributing to the wikis in the NIWA - the gamer community thanks you for imparting your knowledge to it!

Do you want to understand patrolling?  ...Does HTML coding bring you down?  This thread is here to answer the questions you couldn't answer with your wiki's help pages.  However, please remember to look at your wiki's help pages because they are likely to answer a lot of the questions you may come up with.

All posts should folllow the rules, and try to be detailed as possible with the subject matter you wish to find answers on.  Also, all questions should be wiki-related, as all non-wiki related questions will be deleted on sight.

With that, ask away!

So, what is your favorite Wars game?  I only remember playing one or two of them when I was in elementary school with little memory about it, so I can't really vote.

Pokémon / Rival Name
May 02, 2010, 11:47:11 PM
While "Gary" is fine and dandy... curses or even "Flapjack" are names no rival should be without. So, what do you name your rival and why?

Pokémon / Team Rocket
April 30, 2010, 07:44:06 PM
Prepare for trouble!

They're lame, usually without money, and quite persistent if nothing else: they are Jesse and James of Team Rocket.  While other members of Team Rocket, such as Box... Birch... Butch and Casity are more professinal: you got to love their screw ups.  From Meowth's "Boss Fantasies", to the times they actually got Pikachu only to lose it once more... get ready to [win the] fight.
