Great to hear! As far as us working together, we're yet to establish a suitable means of communication beyond message walls. What we currently do is use the forum o SkyVu Entertainment's (our games' dev company) main site and discuss everything with our editors there in a private room. Although this will work effectively for our local editors, it may be a bit to ask on your behalf to sign up somewhere so remote to you. For now the message walls should do.

Gnifle has been the one working the main page since he probably has the best knowledge of CSS coding on our wiki. I've been attending to the other backstage items, and yes, that "Images" category was recently cleared off. Just now we've begun working the more formal pages and started setting some into the navigation bar, as well as deleting the unnecessary pages and driving into that real sense of organisation. A lot of our editors are on-off, so it's us administrators who work the most part on the more elaborate things, and those pages up there among our agenda (were you guys at DV would be able to help us out a bit).

You might want to know beforehand that unlike your wiki, we have comparitively nothing when it comes to staff selection, merely a private discussion between the existing administrators when we need a new one and who it will be. One (or more) is chosen, and we carry on. Keeps things simple.

Yes, those badges are rather tricky. I don't believe your wiki uses that feature, so for a brief explanation, you fulfil basic editing tasks such as adding a picture, category, or just editing in general along with other various things, and you're awarded with badges. There a three main types which give a select amount of points. While this all appears on each user's profile, accumulating enough points gives them the chance for a spot on a leaderboard. That's about the extent it goes to and is a little fun thing people can use as motivation (of course there's those sneaky people as well). Administrators can also select images and names to go with each badge, and although they cannot be modified further, badge tracks can be created which tie onto particular categories.

Our blogs were disabled due to a lack of practical means seeing the forum effectively substitues them and it would just be extra work among article chats, message walls and the rest of it. I would have supposed the blog counter would have hidden itself, but I guess that's not the case then.

Heh, I could imagine there's a whole lot of things you're thinking "now why exactly would that be there" and such. Don't worry, we need that criticism to outline areas of attention which may be used to or think is normal. Whatever points you can come up are in the name of progress. Gnifle should also come to welcome you very soon.
