Wanna try out my CSS?

Just copy all of the code in User:INoMed/common.css, paste it into User:Serpent King/common.css, and save. (It is glitchy in monobook though, so use vector) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:22, 10 November 2015 (EST)

Eh, no thanks. I am fine with the default. Thanks though! Serpent King 05:23, 10 November 2015 (EST)

What if I told you that my CSS has icons next to users on the RC (Both skins), widened search bar (Vector), and a fixed sidebar (Vector)? INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:27, 10 November 2015 (EST)

What do you mean by "icons next to users on the RC"? What Icons? Serpent King 05:30, 10 November 2015 (EST)

My CSS has Rollbackers have the Rollback icon nect to them, Bots have the Bot icon next to the AI, Admins have the admin icon next to them, bcrats have the bcrat icon next to Toomai, and Devs has the developer icon next to them. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:32, 10 November 2015 (EST)

Wow, impressive. Someone who knows CSS better than I do. Ok, what if you just gave me that and left all other styling alone? Serpent King 05:34, 10 November 2015 (EST)

Sure. Just copy the following into your CSS:

Code hidden to prevent clutter.

a.whorb { background: url(/images/thumb/0/0b/Rollback.png/14px-Rollback.png) left no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 15px; } a.whobot { background: url(/images/thumb/1/17/Bot.png/14px-Bot.png) left no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 15px; } a.whoadmin { background: url(/images/thumb/4/46/Administrator.png/14px-Administrator.png) left no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 15px; } a.whocrat { background: url(/images/thumb/5/5c/Bureaucrat.png/14px-Bureaucrat.png) left no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 15px; } a.whodev { background: url(/images/thumb/3/32/Developer.png/14px-Developer.png) left no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 15px; }

INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:36, 10 November 2015 (EST)

How are the icons working on your end? INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:43, 10 November 2015 (EST)

They work. Serpent King 05:47, 10 November 2015 (EST)

(Reset INoMed) Your opinion on the pseudo-gadget? INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:58, 10 November 2015 (EST)

It's pretty neat. Serpent King 06:00, 10 November 2015 (EST)

Hi

Since it's long been swallowed in the recent changes, I figure I directly notify that I responded to your RfA, a punctual response if you have one would be appreciated. Omega Tyrant 18:59, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Sure, let me take a look. Serpent King 19:00, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Cloud's Final Smash

If the consensus is that Cloud's FS article should not exist, then it should be removed from the template. Magiciandude (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2015 (EST)

...Yes. Serpent King 22:53, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Clearly it's in favor of keeping it. Are you contradicting yourself or are you wanting to wait for more consensus? Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 22:55, 14 November 2015 (EST)

It is not in favor of keeping, actually. It's split down the middle, which is why the edit should not have been made. Serpent King 22:56, 14 November 2015 (EST)

For some reason I interpreted your input on the page as wanting to keep it. Wow Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 22:59, 14 November 2015 (EST)

But the article still exists at the moment, which is why I added it. If the majority says to redirect, then yes it should be removed Magiciandude (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2015 (EST)

I am saying that because the decision, either to keep or remove the page, was not yet reached, and therefore, the template should not have been added to. Serpent King 22:59, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Once again: as long as no one has a major hang up with it, I am going to remove it from the template. Serpent King 23:03, 14 November 2015 (EST)

It's not exactly split down the middle, unless you're counting Nyargle as for removal (which I wouldn't, since he didn't say it shouldn't exist, rather just let the discussion end). Since it's a trivial matter anyway I don't see why we can't go ahead and have it ready and then if for whatever reason thirty people show up and say delete, we remove it from those places. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 23:10, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Consider this: We are getting news in December, which more than likely will contain details about Cloud. Those details may include the official name for his final smash, in which case we can make the article and be on our way. I really do not see the harm in waiting a few weeks on this. Serpent King 23:14, 14 November 2015 (EST)

It also doesn't really help at all, considering we will need to change the template again at such a time anyway. Serpent King 23:15, 14 November 2015 (EST)

At this point, this is all just really stupid and ridiculously fussy. I see no problem with going ahead with acknowledging this Final Smash in the ways we have tried. Eventually, the things you deleted will get re-added anyways, and maybe changed in the unlikely circumstance that it's wrong. I see no harm in getting this all done now. I guess it's a matter of, are we really going to care about having or not having this enough to keep going? Oh, the funnies Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 23:17, 14 November 2015 (EST)

I just want to clarify, my changes are not in the interest of having my own way, but in the interest of upholding our tradition of having a consensus vote on deletion/keeping things. Serpent King 23:20, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Then say that instead of what you said before Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 23:22, 14 November 2015 (EST)

What are you refering to? Serpent King 23:24, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Instead of "I don't see the harm..." it would have been better had you said "in the interest of upholding..." No matter now, it's just good to state your best reasons first you know? Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 23:28, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Yeah, I see your point. Alright, I am dropping this one, since clearly, I'm alone here. Serpent King 23:30, 14 November 2015 (EST)

Just in case you'd like to read it too...

Here you go. Disaster Flare (talk) 16:03, 16 November 2015 (EST)

Template:Welcome

What's "???"? You know I was giving the wiki a compliment, right? - Drilly the Hedgehog 00:52, 18 November 2015 (EST)

There is no reason to edit the template this way. It's unprofessional to call ourselves the best wiki ever made. Serpent King 00:54, 18 November 2015 (EST)

And on top of that, changes like that have to be discussed first. Disaster Flare (talk) 00:54, 18 November 2015 (EST)

It was a compliment. I'm sure you guys too enjoy this wiki, right? - Drilly the Hedgehog 00:55, 18 November 2015 (EST)

If you have a suggestion, Nutta's got a page on improving the welcome message. Serpent King 00:56, 18 November 2015 (EST)

here Serpent King 00:57, 18 November 2015 (EST)

Do any of you play Team Fortress 2? - Drilly the Hedgehog 01:07, 18 November 2015 (EST)

No. Please stay on topic, though Serpent King 01:09, 18 November 2015 (EST)

(reset) That's it. New section. - Drilly the Hedgehog 01:10, 18 November 2015 (EST)

Hey

I'm gonna stay off of IRC tonight and try looking for a plugin or whatever, because the ads just tried to do a bad to the computer.... o_o Disaster Flare (talk) 01:40, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Try what I use. Serpent King 01:43, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Okay, I'm back on IRC now...hopefully there won't be any more issues. Disaster Flare (talk) 03:22, 20 November 2015 (EST)

...

(with sarcasm) Gee, thanks. - Drilly the Hedgehog 01:56, 20 November 2015 (EST)

For fighting vandalism? No problem. Serpent King 01:57, 20 November 2015 (EST)

There are reasons I don't like you, ya know. Used to think you were a good user back in August to September, but right now, you're... - Drilly the Hedgehog 01:59, 20 November 2015 (EST)

You know, like miles, there's a place for constructive criticism. Serpent King 02:02, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Yup, I absolutely despise you. Also, isn't that page only for discussing your sooner-to-possibly-fail RfA? - Drilly the Hedgehog 02:03, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Um...no? Serpent King 02:05, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Good, then I just posted. - Drilly the Hedgehog 02:06, 20 November 2015 (EST)

congrats

congrats SK for becoming a admin Nintendofan1653 (talk) 10:41, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Congrats! You know the drill. Nyargleblargle (Talk | Contribs) 10:53, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Thanks guys! I look forward to working harder than ever! Serpent King 12:02, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Congrats Serpent. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 12:26, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I just can't be early, can I... Anyway, congrats! First thing that came in mind. And because you like Luigi, a Luigi. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 13:58, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I was going to come and say congrats but now I feel bad because I don't have any cool music or pictures or anything.

Um...

Here, have a Dory. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:06, 21 November 2015 (EST)

lol Nintendofan1653 (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2015 (EST)

A legendary quote is just as good. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Congrats! A present: a skin from Oprah INoMed! Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 16:07, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Can I join in on the congratulations bandwagon? If so, congratulations, man! Laikue (talk | contribs) 16:22, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Thanks to all :D Serpent King 20:03, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Congrats Serpent! DracoRexKing, the Dinosaur King (RAWR!) 20:59, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Since you're admin now....

Can you do me a favor and fully protect 15DOLLARSWENTSOUTH from being recreated? Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 16:09, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I'd like him to ask me. Serpent King 18:58, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Or do you mean just that as a mainspace page? If so, no. The page has never been created in the first place. Serpent King 19:01, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Yes, and it was by the last few vandals. I would like it protected similarly to 15DollarsWentSouth and FTSIO! were. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 19:04, 21 November 2015 (EST)

15DOLLARSWENTSOUTH never existed. Serpent King 19:05, 21 November 2015 (EST)

It gets created by vandals in an attempt to personally attack the user. By protecting it, I want it protected from being created. By this, the edit protecting it would say (create=sysop). I'm not an admin, so I don't know how it works. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:29, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Edit: I could've sworn the last vandal made it. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:29, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Ok, last edit I'll make to this useless section: I know what I did wrong. When Nyargleblargle deleted the page, most of the wording ran off and only 15DOLLARSWENTSOUTH was left. Sorry. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:35, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Smasher:15DollarsWentSouth has been made twice, but I really don't see the point of protecting a non-existent page for vandalism. It would be just as easy for them to make Smasher:15D0llarsWentSouth and etc. Simple fact of the matter is this: There will be little to no more vandalism overnight (which seems to be when this guy thrives) as long as I am active. And not asleep. Serpent King 20:37, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I know I'm late, but I think the all caps was a mistake; the page 15DollarsWentSouth (note the non-caps) has been created multiple times, however, it was protected by Nyargle. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 08:57, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Forgot to mention.

The ugly section of your feedback is permitted now. At least, that's what I think because of what INoMed told me. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 18:39, 22 November 2015 (EST)

Also, I believe Toomai has specially stated ONLY for that section, nowhere else. OK? Just saying. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 07:51, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Anyways, I congratulate you for becoming an admin. A bit of a late one, yes, but still. Don't forget to keep en eye out for vandals and block em! INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 07:56, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Eh, I'll leave it out. Doesn't do much for me anyway. Serpent King 19:58, 22 November 2015 (EST)

Just letting you know, since I told you to remove it pre-promotion. Also I just think it's funny. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:11, 22 November 2015 (EST)

About your template proposal

I added a namespace switcher prototype into it. Feel free to undo, as I don't mind at all. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 10:25, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Nah, it's good Serpent King 10:26, 23 November 2015 (EST)

I sound like a broken record at this point but...

This user trusts and is a friend of Ganonmew.

Just so you know. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 21:46, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Just a note.

I'm using your broccoli... I mean userbox. ^_^ Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 07:40, 24 November 2015 (EST)

So have I. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 08:54, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Just for clarity, I'm waiting for a day or so, then I'll do all of them at once. Serpent King 08:59, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Aight. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 09:07, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Hey.

I'm still on IRC. XD A couple things I wanna tell you on there too. Disaster Flare (talk) 01:15, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Sorry I missed you. I'll be on tonight. Serpent King 08:54, 25 November 2015 (EST)

If you think your signature looks good...

...Then check out this bad boy! (Note: I am not saying your signature is bad. I actually love it!) INoMed^(Talk)_(Contribs) 08:46, 25 November 2015 (EST)

For me, contirbs overlaps the sig. Serpent King 08:53, 25 November 2015 (EST)

It is supposed to be double-tiered. INoMed^(Talk)_(Contribs) 08:58, 25 November 2015 (EST)

It is, but contribs overlaps the main signature. Serpent King 08:59, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Do you have the font "Corsive" installed? INoMed^(Talk)_(Contribs) 09:00, 25 November 2015 (EST)

see? Serpent King 09:01, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Corsive looks like fancy handwriting... You are using Comic Sans to DEMONstrate. Wrong font, man... Wrong font. INoMed^(Talk)_(Contribs) 09:03, 25 November 2015 (EST)

To prove my point, here is an image of what my signature should look like. (Taken in my preferences) INoMed^(Talk)_(Contribs) 09:20, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Looks like both of your sigs are too big (INoMed at 357, SK at 307, limit at 255). The drop shadows and font selectors are probably the most expensive parts. You can also make certain hex colours smaller by replacing "#ffcc44" with "#fc4". Toomai Glittershine The Superlative 10:06, 25 November 2015 (EST)

I'd like to tell you that your signature is still over the 255 byte limit. You're gonna need to simplify your signature mate. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 13:02, 25 November 2015 (EST)

I know that. Serpent King 14:14, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Then get simplifying! You are gonna need to sacrifice some things, like text shadows, or maybe the image. Something has to go anyways. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 14:18, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Anyways, I feel sorry for the loss of your text shadow. At least we are policy compliant! INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 14:55, 25 November 2015 (EST)

I was thinking about asking Toomai, but...

I had to change this to a disambiguation page, because there are two policies that use this shortcut. Is it okay, or should one of them be removed? Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 05:05, 26 November 2015 (EST)

For now, I'd say that's fine. Serpent King 06:19, 26 November 2015 (EST)

Hey yo!

I used your userbox. I also have one, if you wanna use it. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 12:59, 26 November 2015 (EST)

Used it. Serpent King 02:12, 28 November 2015 (EST)
