In writing the [[Glossary]] the thought occurred to me that maybe we should have a [[Newbie Guide]] prominently featured on the front page, for people who are new to the show and come here for info. I am thinking a simple page with links to the Episodes Portal, the Glossary and one or two more pages that help the beginner get started. Once you get into the wiki, moving around is pretty simple, but as a first-time viewer, the [[Main Page]] doesn't really lead te viewer straight into the heart of the Wiki. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 13:55, 29 January 2007 (EST) |

Languages
Heroes Wiki is always looking for people interested in translating this wiki into other languages. If you are interested, check out this article. Please keep in mind that translating the wiki and maintaining the translation is a lot of work, so we encourage you to gather a group of people who are interested in helping.
Regarding Browsing and Formatting.
When writing or adding to an article, and inter-linking it, please be wary of using standard formatting. Information about standard elements and formatting is available here, and general Wiki formatting information is available here.
Also, be sure to avoid creating duplicate articles. Search around to find if related articles already exist and redirect to them as appropriate. It's one of the great things about wikis.
- (You can also link through non-direct links, see WikiText for more info.)
Heroes Wiki mentioned on "The 9th" heroescast
Heroes Wiki was "pimped" on their December 11th Heroescast. Check out their site to listen to it. They had many kind words for us, thanks! ...and to the cast of The 9th... as for being listed on our site, you're already on our Fan Sites page!
"The 10th Wonder" podcast discusses Heroes Wiki
Heroes Wiki was mentioned in their December 12th podcast as one of the Heroes fansites that are "doing a great job for the Heroes fan community." We appreciate the compliments, guys, and are glad you and your fans are enjoying the site! You can listen to the podcast on their site.
Heroes Wiki reaches 500 articles
5 January 2007 - Heroes Wiki reached is 500th article of content today. This doesn't include redirects, user pages, or talk pages for instance. A big thank you goes out to everyone who's contributed to reach this milestone. Here's to another 500 (and more)! We also uploaded our 1,000th file today, and recently hit 1,000,000 total page views across the wiki... definitely not something to sneeze at!
Hana and Ted, sittin' in a tree...
Neat preview. How do we deal with it? Do you think it's going to be from an episode (in which case we just wait) or is it actually "exclusive" (and then how do we chronicle it?)--Hardvice (talk) 20:55, 22 January 2007 (EST)
- Of course, it's way to early (maybe only an hour, if we're lucky) to make a decision. But if it's never show on an episode, we could give it a name (I suggest something other than "Hana and Ted, sittin' in a tree..." hehe) and treat it like In His Own Image, or the GNs. Near canon. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:00, 22 January 2007 (EST)
NBC Heroes Wiki
Hmm.. NBC set up their own wiki on their website. It's called... "Heroes Wiki". See for yourself here. Thoughts? ---- ![]()

Newbie Guide?
In writing the Glossary the thought occurred to me that maybe we should have a Newbie Guide prominently featured on the front page, for people who are new to the show and come here for info. I am thinking a simple page with links to the Episodes Portal, the Glossary and one or two more pages that help the beginner get started. Once you get into the wiki, moving around is pretty simple, but as a first-time viewer, the Main Page doesn't really lead te viewer straight into the heart of the Wiki. -- Cuardin 13:55, 29 January 2007 (EST)
- Not a bad idea at all. We definitely want to link to it from Template:Welcome, since that's the one thing we can be reasonably sure all new accounts see.--Hardvice (talk) 13:58, 29 January 2007 (EST)
