Oh why can't this wiki have a Template:Clear like Guildwiki? /sigh.. --Shadowcrest 04:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Many wiki(a)s have them located at T:Clr, T:Clrl, and T:Clrr. :) --Sky (t · c · w) 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Win! I've only used GuildWiki and other Guild Wars wikis, didn't know that. Thanks! --Shadowcrest 20:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Fighter Pages

First of all, thanks for helping out with cleaning up the character pages. Secondly, just so your not editing something that is going to go away soon, take a look at SmashWiki:Post-Merge Cleanup to see the format that all the fighter pages are going to be put in once I/we get enough time to do them all. Falco (SSBB) and Meta Knight (SSBB) are already in this format. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 14:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I had noticed the format on different characters was off. I'll work on it when I get the chance (eg now). --Shadowcrest 02:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Or not, I apparently share an IP with GalaxiaD and have been banned until tomorrow. Unless Randall checks his email between now and then. Remind me to rant on the admin noticeboard (wherever it is) about not using the auto-block feature. --Shadowcrest 03:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we have to use the auto-block feature because many of the vandals have a range of computers or a slightly variable IP. Hitting with auto-blocks keeps them from just logging out after they are banned. It's much easier than calculating a binary range block code, and most of the admins wouldn't even know what to do. Plus, that can go wrong and lock out whole continents. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I have a perfectly reasonable and rational explanation in my head, but it doesn't look good on paper :<

On an unrelated note, who are the prominent members here? There are a couple sysops that I can think of, but other than that I don't know anyone but Entrea, GalaxiaD and Oxico (and they have both left, or so I hear). --Shadowcrest 21:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, Randall00 and I are the most active sysops on here. I take care of a lot of the day to day work and gameplay information and Randall does a lot of the back end work, although we really do whatever is needed at any point in time. Sky2042 is another sysop, and he's probably the most knowledgeable about templates and MediaWiki type stuff. Also, Silverdragon706 is a sysop, but she hasn't been around as much lately. The active non-sysops that I often work with are Gargomon251 and Wolf O'Donnell, as well as my crewmate Ax. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 21:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

go rant. --Shadowcrest 04:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

And prepare for a policy invasion. Must set up for that too. --Shadowcrest 04:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Let me have a look at fixing the block. --Sky (t · c · w) 16:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Should be fixed. --Sky (t · c · w) 16:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Still blocked. #818, if you need it. --Shadowcrest 16:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

To clarify, only my IP is banned. My account is fine. Since Galaxia and I share(d) an IP, autoblock banned my IP for a day, and I am thus unable to contribute outisde my talk page. --Shadowcrest 17:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, that stinks. (By the way, Hi!) I must be missing something here, what with mostly being outside the community here, but... what exactly got Galaxia (and, by extension, you) banned at all?–Entrea Sumatae 17:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Entrea! How'd you find me here? You weren't even on IRC when I brought SSBwikia up.

I'm not quite sure, really. I think it involved him being a prick to someone who was an admin and they blocked him for it. Oh, and it might have also involved impersonating a user (who I think was an admin, and the same admin at that). Except for the impersonation, would you agree that would not have happened on guildwiki? --Shadowcrest 17:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I found you here because I RC patrol here too. I usually just correct facts and such, mostly ignoring talkpages and such except for rumors or stuff that are up for deletion. As for what happened, I still have no idea what event sparked it, but I'm sure as hell that a 3-month ban for a first block wouldn't last more than a couple hours on GuildWiki before someone overruled it.–Entrea Sumatae 17:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

It's odd that on GWiki I don't do a lot of mainspace overhauls and crusades, but here I am planning on cleaning up a bunch of stuff. Did you know this place merged with Wikia like we did? And they all hate monaco? If I could figure out how to change the logo, I'd give them the "monobookization" customization Pan/Jedi/May did.

Unless it was Raptors (raa!) a 3 month ban would never have passed, I agree. I also saw a threat to ban anyone who disagreed with the blocking of Galaxia- am I correct in saying that that would have resulting in possibly a consequence as severe as desysoption on Guildwiki?

Do you think it would be a good idea to import a bunch of our commonly referred to policies? NPA, 1RV, maybe YAV, AGF, AUNC (users not content)? And the admin noticeboard. --Shadowcrest 18:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure it would be a cause for desysoption (unless they actually carried out the threat): everyone overreacts sometimes.

And I did know about the Wikia merge (except they actually did merge, Wikia didn't have a Guild Wars wiki when we were absorbed). And if they don't like Monoco, showing them how to monobookize would be great. And yes, every wiki should have the exact same policies and stuff as ours, but it's probably unneeded to do a major overhaul.–Entrea Sumatae 18:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, stupid line.–Entrea Sumatae 18:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Since I can't post anywhere other than my talkpage, I have to do everything here until I'm unblocked. Including importing policies, test revision of the Zelda (SSBB) article, and any other main/wikispace action I would have taken until then. I'm separating the talk from the policy with (you guessed it) a line. I hate licensing. A lot. Why couldn't guildwiki be GFDL?!? :( --Shadowcrest 18:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure there must be some way to have our customizations without our logo (Smashwiki with Guildwiki logo in the corner lol), so I'm going to find it.–Entrea Sumatae 18:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The simplest way would be to ask Pan, but he hasn't been seen in quite some time. --Shadowcrest 18:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Easy. Copy [1] to it's SmashWiki counterpart (Or your monaco.css). Monobook background looks a little wierd with Beach, but that can be changed.–Entrea Sumatae 18:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Way to edit conflict me. That's basically what I was going to say. We'd have to persuade smashwiki to set the same code but with their logo as their default to import it. I think. --Shadowcrest 18:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The code there will use SmashWiki's own code. On my own .css, I fixed the colors too. It has the right colors and logo, so anyone who likes the monobooco skin can just copy (or import) that. By the way, monobooco is now the official name for the Monoco/Monobook hybrid.–Entrea Sumatae 18:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

According to who? Lol

I'd test importing your page, but I probably can't edit my own monaco.css. Anti-lol. --Shadowcrest 18:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

You should be unblocked now. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --Shadowcrest 20:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I am auto blocked, once again. #857. --Shadowcrest 02:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Posting so I can add an edit summary to make this request more visible. --Shadowcrest 02:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Lol. SmashWiki hates you.–Entrea Sumatae 02:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The rant in my head is getting better by the second ;) --Shadowcrest 02:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Charitwo. --Shadowcrest 02:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
