First, Charmed, since that topic is shorter. I agree with you that once we get to read issue 22 things should be clearer. I look forward to reading it and hope that is out Wednesday like Zenescope and Diamond both say. I want to see what is going on with Prue (and hopefully Cole since they were last seen together) and get caught up with Darryl and see what the sisters learn when all four pool their knowledge of the last six and a half plus months.

Okay, now on to the topic of Smallville. Yes, I have seen it, though admittedly, not very much. It's on my extremely long list of things to watch. I had heard about the 11th season in comic book form. That's also on my list to read at some point, but I have not at present done so.

I would love to help you with your soon to be new wikia. I see that you have started two (or more) board before, so I imagine you don't need help with that. I took a look at both of them and I noticed that I couldn't find any pages (in a quick look through) that had custom templates that were referenced and I didn't see any navigation boxes.

I can help with that. I made all of the custom templates on this site based off one template and one nav bar. I've experimented using info from other templates and such and found ways to make the templates look the way I want them to. I've recently started changing the colors of templates as well to match better what is around them. I'm also playing with trying to make a navigation guide at the bottom of a character, place, object, or power's infobox. That's proving tricky, but I'll figure it out.

If I am wrong and you do know how to figure out templates, let me know. Otherwise I'm more than willing to either try and teach you or to make templates for you to use on your soon to be site. If you prefer that I make them for you, just let me know what you want. Do you want templates similar to what I have on here, but with modifications to suit better the Smallville universe? If that's the case, let me know which ones and how you want them modified. I'll make them if I can. If you want something different, show me an example and I'll see what I can do. It may or may not require that I learn a new set of skills in templates, but I'm willing. Every bit I know helps.

Since I don't know a lot about the show or the characters or the comics, I can't do a lot of detail work, but I can make starter pages. If you'd like me to do that, let me know what kind of info you want on pages, and a list of what pages you need and I'll make them.

Another think I really like that I have learned how to do is make colapsable tables. It took a while to figure it out, but it was pretty easy once I did. I made a blog about setting up wikias when I realized I was making several for various comics. It helps me remember what steps I like using so that I don't forget any.

Now, maybe you are wanting my suggestions on how to make more people contribute to your wikia. That's a question I don't know, because I have not yet felt that this wikia is ready for me to start advertising for help. I accept any help that comes, because I figure anyone who comes is actively looking for this info and wants to help. I think I will be ready when every episode is completely up to date with full working links, even if those links aren't yet fully developed pages.

What I plan to do when I am ready to advertise is tweet about it on my various twitter accounts, post comments about it on various places on facebook connected with Charmed and the Charmed comics, go to various proboards sites that discuss Charmed and post a link in places that are for links or for the comics, depending on the sites, and ask people I know in the Charmed community to spread the word about it.

Okay, so now I've said all that. Have I totally missed the point or is something in there what you wanted my suggestions about? If I totally missed the point, just let me know what you really wanted and I will try to answer. I am definitely interested in helping.
