I would support having advertisements, anything that makes money for us is good (well, not anything, but you get the point), though as a compromise for those that don't want them, the ads can disappear when a user is logged in, like SmashWiki. <span style="font-family:AR DARLING; font-size:12pt">[[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="ff8c00">'''Toast'''</font>]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''Ultimatum'''</font>]]</span> 15:39, 14 July 2012 (PDT)

Hi. I volunteer to help out with the Featured Article system if no one else wants to, I'm good at updating things on time. --[[User:Lyphoria|Lyphoria]] 16:44, 8 December 2011 (PST)

:That would be cool, and his highly needed. At the current time, our Featured Content System is available at these two locations {{LW:FA}} and {{LW:FI}}. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 09:39, 10 December 2011 (PST).

:::I believe you make a new page named Something/FeaturedCandidate and we post our votes on there, and if it passes then it becomes featured. [[User:Foxdude54|Foxdude54]] 17:55, 10 December 2011 (PST)
::::We can place it on the Featured Content pages themselves, or as Foxdude said, ''Lylat Wiki:Featured_Article/Name_of_Article'' or on continue our review pattern like  [[Lylat Wiki:Characters/Article Review/Fox McCloud]]. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 11:58, 11 December 2011 (PST).
 
== Youtube tag ==
 
[http://starfoxwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Lylat_Wiki&diff=0&oldid=46867 This edit] was rolled-back, due to our current not-ability to embed youtube videos and no <nowiki><youtube></nowiki> tag. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 17:16, 2 February 2012 (PST).
 
== Advertisements ==
 
In order to support the upkeep of the server, we're asking the sites we're hosting if they would be willing to host advertisements. We're looking to have two to three ads on each site - one at the top and bottom of the content area, and possibly one in the sidebar, but this can be negotiated. All money raised will go towards the cost of the server/hosting and domain names. This won't affect the day-to-day running of the site in any way. Please discuss this, and let me know if you're okay with ads being placed on the site. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

::'''Total support'''. We don't exactly have a regular userbase to be annoyed by it, we might as well bring in some funds. <span style="font-family:Estrangelo Edessa; font-size:12pt">[[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="ff8c00">'''Toast'''</font>]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''Ultimatum'''</font>]]</span> 02:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

soooooooo when will this wiki be moved to starfoxwiki.com? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 02:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 
:That's a tricky question. Moving domains will result in a large hit to SEO, which is why it hasn't been done yet. An alternative option is to redirect that domain to the current one until things can be properly changed without destroying the Google results, but I don't know exactly what changes would need to be made to consider it safe to switch domains.{{:User:Justin/sig}} 19:08, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
::To me, there's more checks & balances for this one. People are much more likely to type starfoxwiki.com in the url bar than starfoxwiki.info. Yet, like you said, this could affect SEO. I think over the course of maybe two or so months, the SEO would be back to normal if all search engines log it as starfoxwiki.com ?

== Editor-in-Chief ==
 
I've reworked how {{lw|Editor-in-Chief|EiC}} works on {{few|Fire Emblem Wiki:Editor-in-Chief|FEW}}'s & {{wk|WiKirby:Editor-in-Chief|WK}}, and wanted to know if people thought we should rework it here. And/or if we should hold a new election. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 00:52, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
:I'd personally go five to seven days for nomination and two weeks for voting, but that may be just me. As far as Disaster Flare goes, he has been pretty inactive in most things lately, but he is still around, so if he feels like a new EiC should step up, it's up to him. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 00:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
::Realistically, I'm not gonna stop y'all if you wish to do another election and have someone take my place. I've reached a point in my life where it's hard to do much wiki-related even on SmashWiki, so I'd feel better knowing you guys have a more active EiC. I had been considering stepping down for a while for this reason. [[User:Disaster Flare|Disaster Flare]] ([[User talk:Disaster Flare|talk]]) 05:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
:::Even if I had unanimous support, I don't think I want to run for Lylat Wiki editor-in-chief. ''Star Fox'' is quite inactive (and lot of subjects are filled in, I've cleaned up a large part of this wiki a few years ago). Also, if I'm running on any Grifkuba wiki, it's Final Fantasy Wiki (which I co-founded with [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] and did 95% of edits on). Not to mention all the wikis I oversee in Gaming Wiki Network wikis (Rare games, FF, Crash, Spyro, Triforce, SpongeBob primarily -- two I help a friend with). I also plan to launch a Mana Wiki in nearby future once more of FF Wiki is filled in. Basically, this is a lotta wikis I'm preoccupied with (and I'm glad I have a couple helping me around the wikis). All the best! [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 13:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
