Wikia Gaming:Merge/Gameinfo
From Wikia Gaming, your source for walkthroughs, games, guides, and more!
Today, on November 30, 2007, Encyclopedia Gamia was moved to Wikia and merged with gameinfo.wikia.com.
This page details what still has to be done and aims to answer any questions you may have regarding the current situation.

[edit] User accounts
Most Egamia users should be able to use their old account names. However, a few usernames were already present in Wikia's shared user database, and so those Egamia users had to be renamed during the import. If you find that you cannot login using your old username, please try to use EGAMIA-[your_old_username] and your old password.
Also, some users will need to generate new passwords, as the old ones were kept in the forum DB and are not retrievable. (If this doesn't work, see below).
[edit] Conflicting articles
There were over 200 articles which caused conflicts, i.e. an article with the same name already existed in Gameinfo.
These existing pages were renamed to be subpages of this article. See the full list of conflicts. Entries in italics have already been resolved.
Feel free to move them around, merge them with Egamia content or substitute one for the other.
[edit] Reporting bugs and filing requests
If you see something wrong or want something changed on the site that the admins cannot do, we're here to help.
When reporting a bug, be sure to give at least one example of the erratic behavior. This not only makes it easier to identify the problem, but also lets us check if the issue has been resolved correctly, rather than asking you to verify.
Bug reports should go to TOR's talk page and requests should go to Angela's.
[edit] Issues resolved
- Gameinfo images
- A slight bug in our import script prevented image thumbs from being created. This has now been fixed. --TOR
