I wonder what you see missing or askew there, Tweek, but you're the specialist,
sooo ..., but it's great to see you still active here and on your great websites ... :D

As of the new GoW's Wiki presence, style and design, Lyrositor, that looks all very impressive and noble,
looking at this main GoW's Welcome to the Wiki Page ... the search and advanced search, the file and
metadata presentation page like the Vothol Gallery.png or a tutorial like Max:Getting started taken as
an example etc. etc., this all looks and feels like wanting to continue roaming the site and exploring
and discovering its treasures and gems ... Great job and ideas, Lyrositor, thanks a lot for the efforts ... :P

The new main page looks good. I miss two links though which IMHO are important: Playing Ages Offline and Playing Ages Online.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

Then I hope you'll forgive me for having started the porting just a few hours ago! :)
There seems to be a problem with the wiki webserver, though. The image upload directory appears broken. So, no new uploads or thumbnails until someone with control over the misbehaving server fixes the problem.
I've currently ported just about everything (except my theme), as can be seen here: http://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Tutorials
Some pages are now obsolete and should be deleted; I've moved those I could, but some remain (I've combined several tutorials into one sometimes). Here's a list of what I think should be deleted:
Eventually, these pages should be deleted too (again, in my opinion):
EDIT: Theme ported!

I would suggest putting tutorials in the recommended reading order, rather than alphabetically.

Hoikas, while you are deleting stuff, please also have a look at http://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Category:Delete

One more tutorial added: http://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Max:Details%20Max:Details. This was a short one, even though it looked long before, since the images were so big. The size of the tutorial now reflects the difficulty and complexity of the associated task.

Also, I'm apparently an admin now on the wiki, so I can delete articles. Is everybody okay with my proposed list and diafero's suggestions?

Those are not my suggestions ;-) I just found them, but I still agree for them to be removed. I think all the important stuff from the old main page is now available otherwise?

Now that you are ana dmin, could you have a look at the enumartion margin/paddings? Also, the diff between two versions of a page is much less readable than it used to, since it lacks all the colors.
