Eras

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone would mind if I set up Era icons for this Wiki? I'm an Admin for a few other Wikis, such as the Silent Hill Wiki and James Cameron's Avatar, and I set up the eraicons for each of them. They're essentially the icons you see on the top right of articles, linking to related categories and so forth. Any objections? I'll need someone to adjust the MediaWiki page for them to be visible, but we can deal with that when we come to it. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 20:12, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

That would be nice. Just tell me your ideas and what you would need done. -- D. Cello 20:31, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Awesome. I can handle most of what needs to be done. It's just a little graphic work and I can do all the Era and Eraicon template coding myself. I'll just need the MediaWiki page changed so that the eras will show up. Essentially they'll be icons which lead to categories such as "Characters", "Weapons", "Locations", and so forth. So Ezio's page would have icons for "AC2", and "Characters". Should only take me a short time to get the icons done and I'll let you know when to get the MediaWiki page fixed. Cheers! Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 20:41, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

But that wouldn't be just a duplciate of the categories section at the bottom? What about icons for actual eras, like Middle Age, Renaissance and modern times? -- D. Cello 21:27, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Eras generally are a duplication, yes, but they're an aesthetical compliment that look good on the tope of pages. They're one of the first things people see when they load up a page, which makes it easy and convenient for people to find related articles. I do know that the Star Wars Wiki utilizes Eras for actual time periods, but most Wikis, such as the Halo Wiki, Resident Evil Wikis, just to name a few, utilize eras for categories. It's up to you, I'm fine either way. I just think category eras are useful. Here's a few examples of how they can be used:

• Example 1
• Example 2
• Example 3

Just to give you a visual idea. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 23:22, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I see... very well, do as you please. Maybe we could do both, e.g. Altaïr it would have Characters, AC1, Assassins and Middle Age icons? And if it isn't asking too much, maybe you could give a shot at the Template:Featured and Template:Good to make they work together, since you're at it? =]
By the way, Avatar wiki seems pretty through with info, very detailed. I loved the air scenes on that movie... Toruk and aircrafts alike. -- D. Cello 23:48, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I was going to suggest doing both. That works just fine! I'll get right on it. And yeah, Avatar was just plain awesome. Saw it at IMAX in 3D.

I'll probably do quite a lot. For example, objects that are tweaked or designed by Leonardo DiVinci will have a Leo icon. The beauty of Eras is you don't have to use them all, they're just there if you want them. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 00:02, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Saw it at IMAX 3D too, me and my girlfriend got out with a pain in the neck =P

The eras really add a cool effect to articles, a more professinal look. The Featured and Good Articles Icon is working, but their position ain't locked to the title, but positioned on the page. I think they'll work better int he same line as the eras. -- D. Cello 01:06, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Transformers 2 on IMAX made me even dizzier. =P

Groovy stuff, glad you're happy with the idea. Just so you know I'm making a start on them right now. You'll be able to see the progress on their respective Template:Era and Template:Eraicon pages. They'll start off small, and grow as I add icons. I'll need your help with the MediaWiki:Common.js code. The code for eras you can find here. However, I think this is what you need:

function showEras(className)
{
    if(typeof(SKIP_ERAS) != 'undefined' && SKIP_ERAS)
        return;

    var titleDiv = document.getElementById(className);

    if(titleDiv == null || titleDiv == undefined)
        return;

    var cloneNode = titleDiv.cloneNode(true);
    var firstHeading = getFirstHeading();
    firstHeading.insertBefore(cloneNode, firstHeading.childNodes[0]);
    cloneNode.style.display = "block";
}

Also, after you've seen this and replied, feel free to move this whole bunch of conversation to somewhere more relevant. =P My bad. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 02:31, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I added the code to the wiki's media. Warn me if something comes up. I'll move this conversation to the template talk after it's somewhat in progress. -- D. Cello 02:51, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Main page revamp

I've redone the content of the Main Page, but kept the colours :) Kirkburn (talk) 12:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Another revamp, using the [w:c:help:Help:Main page column tags|new column tags]]! Kirkburn (talk) 12:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

J: If anyone has relised, the main page seems to have a sirous overlaping text problem, if anyone can help it would be apprecitaed

Icons

Hello, unfortunately if we put a line of 5 icons on the Main Page (Altaïr, Ezio, Weapons, Walkthrough, Achievements), it breaks the visuals for people with monitors of resolution 1024x768. This is probably the most common resolution out there, so I had to revert the edits which added the fifth icon (Ezio). Unfortunately I don't have the time to find a better solution that has all 5 rows, so all I could do was revert, I have to go do other things. I hope that you can find a solution. - Elecbullet 21:58, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Site Design

Hi! This comment doesn't really mean much, nor is it directed at anyone in particular, but I just came over from the Call of Duty Wikia, following a spotlight ad, and I've gotta say, the theme, the site design, the graphics you guys picked, all that stuff, it's pretty impressive! Nice job. I bet you guys have an excellent community. -- Akyoyo (Talk) 06:17, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Colours

Hey when i visit the AC wiki the colours changed overnight to white and blue instead of the orginal graphics. Is this just something i mith've clicked on or has something happened? --The eagle 07:50, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

I'm still seeing the original design with [:file:Background.jpg|this background]]. Please check your preferences and see whether Let the admins override my skin choice is selected. If it is, then you shouldn't be seeing the sapphire version. If this continues, please can you drop a note via special:contact so it can be tracked as a bug? Thanks, Angela<staff /> (talk) 12:51, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this fix only seems to be available to registered users. So more casual visitors are stuck then with these hard to read blue links on a blue background? Is there no way to actually change this on the page itself without requiring users to register?

Total State of the Site

This is ridiculous. It's as if the moderators are doing nothing for this site. Can we please get some editing standards? Every article that I've read looks like a 7 year old did it.

New Assassin's Creed title?

does anyone know anything about an upcoming Assassin's Creed or something? I got Assassin's Creed 2 a week ago and i play non-stop! It's super addictive! I 've learned most moves and things and i have completed iot to 100% so I feel bored.

I think there is one coming out in November I think. From what I read on other sites, there is acctually a new assassins creed but it still features Ezio. On the plus side, I heard theres a lot of new weapons and a multiplayer mode. I think its called assassins creed brotherhood or something like that. I'm gonna save up and get it for my boys and me when it comes out! :) Babystace2k10 09:33, June 23, 2010 (UTC) babystace2k10

idea about lucy (not who you think she is)

hey brothers,

so i've been reading a lot about how lucy is a spy for abstergo and templars and stuff...without much support to it, tho, what if we think about it this way.

real lucy enters abstergo to work blah blah blah...

she helps design the animus machine blah blah blah...

then at some point abstergo finds out that she is an assassin's spy.

"abstergo kills her"

then replace her with leila marino or some other person to take her place.

well...no one really knows what lucy looks like before AC1 so abstergo could just easily switch her with one of their own who looks something alike her? that kinda fits with what juno was talking about and subject 16's words about "shes not who you think she is" subject 16 wouldn't know who "she is" if he haven't met her or know her!

Rebecca Crane knows what she looked like What's it been, 7 years? and she is in contact with the other Assassin teams, I'm sure they would have some sort of code/password to prove who they really are...Subject AMDR 11:49, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Its all a conspiracy! And Subject is right unless Rebecca is in on it too and its secretly Abstergo trying the Good Assassins Bad Company routine aye? I was also about to say that maybe the worlds all destroyed by nuclear war and blah de blah de blah but then I realized that you can run around as Desmond in Monteriggoni and that'd need a skydome and alot of work or what if its all an Animus within an Animus like Desmonds reliving reliving memories cause I don't know maybe Abstergo lost the tech to directly relive memories but I'm just rambling...

69.22.237.171 05:18, February 24, 2011 (UTC)AC3 Modern Times gameplay ideas

I was wondering about other people's ideas for modern times gameplay here are my ideas

-leap of faith into dumpters(but modern day assassins dont do that anymore just an idea)

-use guns when in open conflict and stealth when not

-more freerunning moves like vaulting and fliping

-for stealth they should let you take cover behind things and let you crouch

Assassins Creed 3?!

Ok the word is out that they are going to have an Assassins Creed 3! Still it is causing a lot of confusion and fighting from release dates to setting. If anyone has any information at all that is helpful please share so the confusion and fighting can stop! Suzumie crescent 01:14, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ubisoft have said that they will be giving out more details on AC 3 in may. Girlaloud0500 08:54, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

They never said they will be giving out details about AC3, but the next AC. Might just be a gme like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. -- Master Sima Yi 09:40, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Well, they did say in November 2010 that Info on Assassins creed 3 would come out in the coming months. And they said they will be giving details about the franchise in may. Girlaloud0500 10:24, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

New skin sux

Older was way better - better graphically and climatically, it also showed the series' iconic white colour theme. Skin doesn't hav to show chars from all series, it's often for wikias to have a skin just from the newest game/content etc. - here, it would be AC: brotherhood. Xeoxer 18:13, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

That's hypocritical. Newest game is Brotherhood? See this: Assassin's Creed: Revelations. -- Master Sima Yi 18:16, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Some questions...

Hey

Quick question, usually in games that have generally the same characters there can be bonuses unlocked by playing the previous game, I just wanted to know would there be any bonuses for Assassin's Creed Revalations if, for example I achieved the highest rank (rank 50) in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

Thanks

Joshua Coles

Hey there, Joshua. At this moment of time we do not know whether there will be any bonuses for achieving the highest rank in Brotherhood, but I'm sure we'll have some information that enlightens your question in the near future. Maybe ask again when we have more info on the game? Cheers and thanks for visiting our wiki. --THIEF 02:28, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

refrence to lucy in desmond's journey trailer

watch this vid to see them or just take a look at the pics i got http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjL8sDM32n8

File:ACR secret 1.png

As far as I can tell it says Lucy-you will know the truth

File:ACR secret 2.png

the end is the beginning

to see them on the vid you need to stop around 53-54 seconds in for the first message "lucy you will know the truth".

And for the second message stop around 55 seconds in to see the second message "the end is the beginning".

I'd like to see what you all think of this?

Darktyrant66 05:54, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

hey guyz. i think that lucy is not really dead on what desmond done..

i think it's just juno's trick to confuse desmond even more

Darktyrant66 05:54, September 25, 2011 (UTC)DarkTyrant66Darktyrant66 05:54, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Lucy IS dead. The only way she is coming back is if the Assassins manage to recover the Eden artifact that possesses the ability to resurrect the dead (The Shroud). The reference to Lucy in the trailer is probably just a reference to the fact that she died in Brotherhood, or that Desmond is reflecting on the memory of her.

EzioA7 12:21, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

ok... and i think it's much better if in revelation... lucy will be revived.. o.O

Profile issues.

I don't know why but it seems that the profiles are getting compressed so the tittle will be over text etc. I have seen it through out the wiki and frankly it annoys the hell out of me. (I hate it when I see something I can't fix.) Does anyone know the cause of it is? K'jal'mar ( The talk| Contribs) 21:14, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Altair Multiplayer Skin

aspsToday I was checking to see what the different Revelation's editions offered and noticed that it said you could receive an "Ezio as Altair Multiplayer Skin" if you buy the Animus Edition at certain stores. I searched around for it and eventually found the Animus Edition with the Altair Multiplayer Skin... only to see that it said Singleplayer Skin.

Here's the link: http://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-154227-Assassins-Creed-Revelations-Animus-Edition-PlayStation-3

Let me know what you think. Multiplayer or singleplayer skin?

Assassin's Creed Lineage

A great Assassin's Creed cinematic that you should see is "Assassin's Creed Lineage." The cinematic is showing us a little background on Giovonni Auditore da Firence's, Ezio's father, mission to take down the templar. The story,of course, is a prequel to Assassin's Creed II. The mission which is soon handed down to Ezio.[Video:Assassin's Creed Lineage|thumb|500px|right]

Subject 16= Dead (SPOILERS)

Subject 16 was preserved into the animus but his body is gone(ALIVE) but when Desmond returns to the Animus Island for the 3 or 4th time unwillingly everthing is deleted but Desmond and Subject 16 pushes Desmond out before deletion so Subject 16 subconceince is dead so body and conceince is dead so no more 16.

Revelations behind Revelations

Hi, I'd like to discuss the true meaning of the subtitle 'Revelations" in ACR. Forgive me if i put this in the wrong place, but I'm sorta confused and empty; what is the true revelation of the game? SPOILER AHEAD: yes, we learn Ezio gives up being an Assassin, we learn how Altair dies, bout the apple's fate. But what is the true revelation? There Are still many unanswered questions, like why does altair, ezio, and desmond have similar faces, like the scars? Also, why is desmond the one to do all this? Like shaun said, is he like some sorta chosen one? Also, what is the meaning behind "2 assassins, 1 destiny'? Thanks 173.189.9.231 04:16, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

First of all, Ubisoft said they'll answer SOME questions. Not all those... 2 Assassins, 1 Destiny is referring to Ezio and Altair. 168.221.158.44 20:27, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
