Notes From Tegan
Tegan is the boss of the page, the moderator, the system operator, the owner. These are comments on recent changes she's made, or things she's noticed, or decrees she's made. These notes are mostly for Atlanteans, the editors of the website.
More of the Same
I'm continuing to flip through my old comics and look for sightings. I've also added more cover images, and will continue to add them over the next week or so. In addition to cover images, I uploaded DC Direct merchandise images. You can find them by going to the File List and searching for "DCDirect". I also updated the Preview Archives to the beginning of 2007. I don't think I'm going to try to go back any further.
To Do:
- Finish cover image uploads (Tegan)
- Move individual issue data over from the old website to new issue pages on the wiki
- Add at least minimal information to character profiles
- Update creators list and bold the major creators
- Add at least minimal information to creator pages
- Update Who's Who with issue links
- Find more fun links for the Community Portal
- Update Merchandise pages (Wings1295?)
- Update Other Media pages
- Put Category tags on images

Sightings and Images
That sums up the work today. I've been checking through my old comics one by one looking for Aquaman appearances to put in the Sightings page, and I've added a few. In addition, I've started the complete upload of Aquaman splash pages. I should get done with that sometime next week, unless I get really obsessed. I'll note the new "Random Images" box on the main page. I hope you'll enjoy seeing what pops up.
Now that the Who's Who is up, I think I need to get back to my Ripples Through Time. Gotta keep adding that content!

Who's Who
I've finally ported over the detailed Who's Who from the old pages. It looks much better in this format, and is going to be MUCH easier to update. I'm feeling the glee.

Galleries
I've been playing in the Sandbox and have discovered how to create galleries. So much simpler than hand-coding, and I can still include nice links and everything. I'm going to start uploading cover images to the wiki from the main series. At some point we can put together a lovely gallery for all the Aqua-fans out there.

Sandbox
Like any other wiki, this website has a Sandbox to play in. If you want to create a page, or use some piece of wiki code that you aren't sure will work, try creating it in the Sandbox first.

Spoiler Boxes
I've created a spoiler box template, which can be seen on the Previews page. Please do not remove it from that page. Spoiler boxes should be added to all pages for recently shipped books, and should remain on the pages for two months after the shipping date.
To add a spoiler box, type {{Spoiler}} at the top of the page.

Help Pages
I've added two help pages to assist in the formatting and creation of pages.
The Help:Gradings page explains how to grade the appearance of a character. Gradings are needed for all sightings of Aquaman characters in comic books, but not in other media unless you feel it applies.
The Help:Dates page explains the date format. All dates on the page should be converted to this format if possible. This is not a high priority, but it's best to have a standardized date format and to change it to the standard if you notice a problem.
