I was thinking that a new section we could add is about toys based on the Banjo-Kazooie section. We could have it split up into areas like plush toys and action figures. If anyone thinks this could be a good idea I will go ahead and begin taking pictures of my own Banjo-Kazooie toys. Or we could just make it Banjo-Kazooie Collectables instead of just toys and have magazine covers, and toys, and posters, players guides, etc. Thanks, {{User:Dekudan312/sig}}

:::Well I mean, ideally you'd get a chance to know us all and only op us when things get too hectic for one person to handle (like I'm sure they will when B-T 3 is released and we get a flood of new users), but you yourself don't seem to have a lot of time to spend here, so...I dunno. At the moment there's not a lot of administrative stuff that needs to get done, although it might help to have the rights to screw with the MediaWiki stuff once I figure out what I'm actually doing. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

== Music tune section ==


How about on the main page we have like a "Music Tunes" section or something. The wiki has many pieces of music (listed [[Music|here]]) now and it could be setup with the choose and option system with randomonizes options. Many people search the internet looking for tunes so it would attract people to the wiki.

==German B-K Wiki==
==German B-K Wiki==
I'm probably just silly and forgetful, but I couldn't find the place where we discussed the German wiki, so I'll start a new section here. Do we have a liaison between our two wikis? Who was it that approached us and offered to join in the first place? I'd like to ask a few questions about exactly where to put/direct interwiki links, but I'd rather not go in there representing the English wiki without actually being able to speak a lick of German and using a shaky online translator. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::Er, 'kay, but my real question was whether or not we have someone who speaks both languages and frequents both wikis, or at least could relay messages if we left them on their talk page or something. Where can I find that page, by the way? It doesn't seem like it's linked to from anywhere and the categories are failing me. I swear there was someone there.... {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

One of the changes is a block of two ads on each main page. It's possible that they won't always show up, but to ensure your main page continues to work properly when they do, you need to update your main page column formatting code with [[w:c:help:Help:Main page column tags|new column tags]].
