We are now the Lord of the Rings TCG Wiki.

All HTML pages have been replaced with wiki pages. The card/set pages pull certain static content, and new pages can be created with information on decks, strategies, etc. The sky is the limit--enjoy!

Maybe I'm being a dolt, but I can't seem to create any new pages. I went to http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/Cultures intending to start a stub for cultures but couldn't find that elusive 'Create this page' button.

Thanks for the heads up -- fixed!

Cool! I've been away for a long time but I returned today to find this! Thanks for the update!

Kralik · « **Reply #4 on:** April 24, 2012, 09:07:16 PM »

Also check out the new front page.

Sexy. You should move the Fellowship block sets to their own row...it looks too off the way it is now, plus there's no natural grouping to have the grand index, promotional, and fellowship block all together.

Kralik · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:45:08 PM »

I was trying to save vertical space, but I suppose the stairsteps look more natural.

I'm starting to work on the page for Cultures. I created a little image

to showcase all 16 culture icons but I don't have permission to upload it. Got any plans for opening that power up in the future?

Kralik · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:50:11 PM »

The culture icons are already in the wiki -- just link to them the same way you do in the forums.

menace64 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:59:59 PM »

Oh... my... god. You know, I've been around since pre-CC... and I just wasted 40 minutes scrounging around the internet for those little blighters. It's not like I've been using those icons for the last 4,000 DCs I made or anything.

I'm retarded. I'll be in my corner. :x

Kralik · « **Reply #10 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:13:28 PM »

Well, I was considering that you probably needed them in a 4x4 block for some reason and I was about to upload it for you...

menace64 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:17:35 PM »

Well it would still be nice to have them all in one image so I can spruce up my wall of text a bit. But really though I'm just tinkering here, since I've never had a hand in a wiki before - it'll be up to you (or another educated sort) to show me better styles.

Kralik · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:19:57 PM »

Sure, just use this:

{{cultures.png}}

TelTura · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2012, 11:56:06 PM »

Just so you know, I have all of the cultures in vector format (for the uninitiated, that means infinite resolution). I've uploaded some ultra-high-res images here.

EDIT: I'll be releasing the vectors soon enough once I have the open-source font finished and cleaned up. I hadn't planned to do so for some time, but if anyone needs them I can provide them.

TelTura · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2012, 01:10:34 AM »

Also, you let the search revert on the main index again <.<

Mmm... just tried it. It has been saying Google this whole time -- you sure?

TelTura · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2012, 07:56:07 AM »

Hmm, I can't seem to get to the page anymore that it was on, perhaps it was just a hiccup before the rest of the wiki kicked in. It was the page that just listed the names of the sets, but wasn't the main page.

Oh well.

The front page is fricking awesome!!! Love it.

That page is gone.

Quick comment on the front page--I think the set organization might be a little misleading, since boutique products like Reflections and Age's End aren't part of the blocks they're assigned to. Unless you have something different in mind?

Aha! I knew I wasn't crazy. If you're on the top level (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/start) and you click the LOTRTCGWiki link in the upper left hand corner, it's still directing to lotrtcgwiki.com.
[EDIT]: Actually, this seems to be on every page except for the forums.
[DOUBLE EDIT]:ha! so you have some sort of filter on. The link points to l o t r t c g d b.com, not lotrtcgwiki.com

Kralik · « **Reply #21 on:** April 30, 2012, 06:38:16 AM »

Thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to fix all the old links and it looks like I missed that one. Regardless, the server will redirect any old links (lotrtcgdb .com) to the new site, and the autolink code translates them first to leave less work for the server.

Well... it's more of a semi-logical organization by number rather than a block organization. Notice that it doesn't have any blocks labelled. It's the best I can do to make a nice-looking layout that won't change much due to browser window resizes.
