:For #1, getting them to install anything here is quite difficult.  It took me about a year to get them to install some basic extensions here.  I'm assuming you're referring to the [[Help:Editing]] page, but that page links to the MediaWiki help info, which should cover most stuff.
: #2, we don't have an item section because the [http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/ Perfect World Database] site does a far better and more complete job of than we could ever do here.  They have a system for automatically updating it, whereas it would require a backbreaking amount of manual labor to update it here, so it makes more sense to let them do that job.
: #3 ...I don't know.  It just happened this morning.  I'm guessing they were messing with their servers/website and the image cache got wiped.  Unfortunately the wiki software only updates the wiki cache about once every 24 hours or so (which can be annoying when you update an image), so I'm waiting a day to see if it fixes itself.  If not, then I'll have to talk to FrankieRaye about fixing it.
:I hope that answers your questions!  :-)  -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 14:08, 1 December 2011 (PST)

:: #3 Yup, it just fixed itself.  Yay!  -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 16:46, 1 December 2011 (PST)
