[edit] Color Change
I think this wiki totally needs to be green text on black background. Descendant 21:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name Change
I've edited the discussion here to whittle down the name change thing, as I'm working on some stuff to implement, I just need to know the name we plan on going with.
Voting Options:
- MetaCortex Database
- The Zion Archives
If everyone could respond to this vote with their answer, I would greatly appreciate it. I'll leave the vote up until I get an answer from everyone.
- My personal vote is for MetaCortex Database
- Both are cool. I'd pick Zion Archives, but metacortex database would be more unique. Descendant 21:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, since nobody has cast a vote here, I'm going to go out on a limb and just assume that 'MetaCortex Database' is good enough to use as the new name for the wiki. I'll let this stand for a few more days to get a response, but at the start of next week, I'll be working on editing the Main Page again to fit the new name with a 'Matrixy' theme. -o.r- 04:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CSS/Style Design
I am helping you guys out. Spenc asked me to come over and see if you want anything. I can do jsut about anything. There are limitations, but I usually figure those out as I go. Right now I am thinking "Black/Green/White/Light Green".
- Black - Background Color
- Green - Text Color
- White - Links
- Hover - Highlight Light Green (Like Logo)
I can add images within the "bars" that are on the main page. I just need to know what look you are looking at. I recently worked on the Battlestar Wiki design and people love it. I will be working on another "site" when doing the inital work. Once I get a "setup" I will foward the link to you all.. :) That is about it. Time to design and get everything finalized is about 3 weeks. You have few articles which is good because that will help when it comes time to do updating the site with CSS. Questions/Suggestions/Comments? Post them here or on my BSGWiki talk page. --Shane 21:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey Shane, thanks for showing up and offering to help! I do have some thoughts/suggestions if you will though... First things first, I personally want to see more washed out/muted color tones (like what you actually see within The Matrix than the typical/cliche black and green. In addition, I would like to see a strip of Matrix Code running down the left side of the page behind the navigtion boxes (I've already got a nice code strip to use as well). Just some intial thoughts... -o.r15:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I am going to use the base "BsgBook" skin (the default skin of BSG Wiki) as my base and then work off of that. It was just suggested to me that it also be avilabile for the BSG Wiki also. Any "Icon" ideas like we do at the BSG Wiki with the seal and a little logo of the item? :) --Shane 15:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yea, I'm working that sutff out. Unfortunately I'm out of town for the weekend, so I'm away from my PC with my graphics on it, but I'll get them to you asap when I get back. -o.r23:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is the development link that you can preview at least the Main Page of. You can sign up and check the "5" pages that exist on my test wiki at the BSG. Might be a good idea to test the "feesability" of the content. Anything can be added just be sure not to go overboard. :) Shane 08:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Shane do what ever you can to make this wiki better. I tried to do something but all i can do is the Logo... Help us Shane, you're our only hope...:P--Ð٨ŘŦΗ ۍΆUŘΏŅ 20:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Plus green will be good. I've seen one a green one in which the lines were also green. Can't find the page now, but when i do i'll show u. I liked that one.--Ð٨ŘŦΗ ۍΆUŘΏŅ 21:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- As soon as I can spuce up the CSS with some "images" with -o.r it's going to look pretty plain. But the idea is coming along. :) --Shane 21:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- For those who want to "test" the CSS that I am working on, the HB allows unreged edits. So you can create a neo page, but I am not sure you are going to want to upload Matrix related images as they would get deleted right away. So feel free to do that. --Shane 16:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Shane, I gotta say, that while I love the fact that you're helping us by working on the CSS for the Wiki, I can't say that I'm overly enthralled with the color scheme that you've got going on in the test template right now (sorry to say). In my mind, I only see a very small portion of this wiki layout with black color to it, and that's the outer edges (left and top). Look at the template used on the Matrix page for color scheme ideas, and you'll start to see what I meant by desaturated colors. I think we should keep that sort of feel to the entire Wiki. Between being sick and busy as hell with work, I haven't had much time to work on my idea yet, but I promise by week's end, that I'll have a work up of my idea (complete with color scheme) posted on here. -o.r- 19:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This WEEK'S article?
I don't want to be rude but that article has been the article of the week for about 2 months? Why dont we change it?--Ð٨ŘŦΗ ۍΆUŘΏŅ 18:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to change it. And if you don't like it the original one will be archived in the The Matrix Wiki:Featured article/History.--Ð٨ŘŦΗ ۍΆUŘΏŅ 18:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
It's about time someone changed it. We just need to start TRULY updating these articles. I'll work on the SMith article after i'm done with Neo. My God this is a lot of work. Dude984 21:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Handling of "the"s
How are we handling "the"s in page titles? (e.g. The Source, the Prophecy, The Architect, the Matrix) Should they be included in the page titles? Should they be capitalized?, etc...--Cybercobra 22:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rustyslacker
I see the terrorist known as rustyslacker hacked your wiki under the alias of "Anonymous".--EzriDax 00:35, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
