Twenty-one-point-one gigawatts?

I suspect that the Castle needs a genuine electrical spark, not a human spark. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 06:56, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

That was my thought when I read the page. Argadi (talk) 10:07, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
The gas supply was just restored a few pages ago, now it needs a spark to light it? 86.138.201.107 18:53, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

You know, the castle started this behavior back here. AndyAB99 (talk) 21:05, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps the unnamed commentator is correct. All Der Kestle really needs is a very faint spark in just the right place to light the gas. Emmet Brown just mentioned the quantity of energy necessary, not the form it should be in. Admittedly, 21.1 gigwatts is a rather lot of gas, but this is Mechanicsburg we are discussing. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 03:53, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, it started the behavior after the Doom Bell rang, but we've seen it talk normally since then. Maybe this is a flashback to some hours ago? The Foglios do use sequences of things that are happening at the same time and they seem to have done it alot throughout the Battle of Mechanicsburg..--68.7.36.184 18:04, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Where's Moloch? He would figure that out immediately; these idiots are too smart to do so. Mskala (talk) 22:53, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

A Volume naming running almost joke[]

Remember last volume? There was a running almost joke about needing a hammer that no one could find. Then the volume turns out to be named "Agatha Heterodyne and the Hammerless Bell." The castle has now called for an unspecified spark twice (or half a dozen times if you are counting requests rather than pages) and is sure to ask a third time. So could this be this volumes almost joke?

The payoff would be an awesome use of Gil's spark generator, hmmm? Probably by Tarvek. Though right now Agatha has the inside track.

Wiki editing suggestions[]

If anyone wants to work on the wiki, there are some pages with no external links. Adding links pointing to the pages (from the Chronology as well as related topic and character pages) would make those pages easier to find.

You could also click the random link button at the top of the page and make improvements—add more links, add more details, correct grammar.

Something pleasant to do on a holiday day. Argadi (talk) 12:17, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

What if I wanted to change the picture of Agatha on the Wiki home page? I'm referring to the picture that heads up the five most recent days' discussion pages. That one's looking a bit dated. How would I do that? I clicked "edit" on that page, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Xelvonar (talk) 01:02, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
@xevonar. That is a licensed image that links back to the Girl Genius Online Comic . -- Billy Catringer (talk) 04:49, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
While I think it would be good to keep the current image and link, I could see putting a more topical image in that place and changing it, and moving the existing image up (outside of the yellow frame).
It's a wiki, changes can be made, discussed, and backed-out or further modified if they don't look good. (That said, be a little more careful on the front page as it is the first impression new readers get of our site.)
The reason you were confused when editing the front page was templates. Templates allow pages to be split up, and for common code to be reused. (For example, we have the GG_link template to allow a standard way to link to the comics.)
Wikia has help pages (and the editing is based on the same engine as Wikipedia, so Wikipedia help pages generally work). At the bottom of the wiki home page see the links under "About this wiki" as a start for learning.
The amount you can do depends on how much time you want to spend learning. It would be good to create a "sand box" for experimentation. I have a sand box, you could create one by clicking here. Leave a message on my talk page if you have questions. Argadi (talk) 09:59, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
