Miles? One question

Archives 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Hey.

I replied to you here. This is in case you are not watching the page anymore. Serpent King (talk) 22:44, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

In case you are not still watching it, I gave another suggestion (Miiverse (universe)). Serpent King (talk) 09:00, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

TITT

The reason for the speedy deletion was "lulz", which is NOT a reason, Miles. Also, Sparky created TITT as a test for creating pages. TailsFan (talk)

It's not even close to appropriate mainspace content. Please review Help:Namespaces. Miles (talk) 01:57, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

Also, fix your signature so it doesn't leave text after it yellow, please. Miles (talk) 01:58, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

Idk how to 0_o ITS JUST TOO HARD FOR ME AND SPARKY! (The creator of the TITT comment, just too lazy :|)

Just use two more </font> tags. Miles (talk) 14:06, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

I dont understand. Where do I put them? Sparky (Talk Smash to me!)

I was referring to TTARF's signature. Your appears to be fine at the moment. Miles (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

Actually Sparky's needs the timestamp... ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 18:27, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

About Cubone and Dugtrio

Sorry about that. I was thinking that we were talking about the game not the stage -_- Apologies Serpent King (talk) 18:58, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

Mistakes happen, it's fixed, relax. No big deal. Miles (talk) 18:59, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

What's the difference between vandalism and constructive edits/requests?

Apparently, there's no difference according to you. 65.49.14.144 20:37, 29 June 2015 (EDT)

Length of ban to those who only did one or two piece(s) of vandalism.

Like what would your criteria be for a week block compared to a month block for a user who vandalized? Dots (talk) The Wii 23:15, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

There's not really a fixed criteria, I suppose. I usually just block for what seems appropriate. Miles (talk) 23:29, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

Advice

When I eventually mainspace this, where should it go? should we make a 3 level subpage? Serpent King (talk) 21:59, 6 July 2015 (EDT)

Probably overkill to do that. Would "Debug menu (SSBM)/Stage data" work well enough for you? Miles (talk) 22:13, 6 July 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, that would work. Serpent King (talk) 22:32, 6 July 2015 (EDT)

Are my descriptions redundant, as many can be clearly seen in the images? Serpent King (talk) 22:06, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

Seem mostly fine to me. Miles (talk) 22:59, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

Vidracova

Is a repeat offender who keeps getting lucky at vandalizing at just the right time (when no Admins are on). I have undone his edits many times, and left a notice on the admin board, which was ignored. Serpent King (talk) 21:24, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Miles just now took care of them. Bulbaboy (talk) 21:26, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

I saw, just explaining that this is no first offense. Serpent King (talk) 21:30, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Second time he's been blocked, and for longer. My apologies if I missed an adminboard notification. Miles (talk) 22:32, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Did not mean that as a slight on you, I only meant that he's been getting away with crap Serpent King (talk) 22:42, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Recreated page

CouldRainZero just recreated his page in the mainspace that you deleted yesterday. After you delete it again, will it be possible to protect it from further recreation? Berrenta (talk) 13:39, 9 July 2015 (EDT)

Hong Kong/Taiwan

{Smash 3DS} yes the release date was confirmed, its on the official nintendo hong kong/taiwan website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NintendoAddict8 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

Thank you. Miles (talk) 18:15, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

Upload new sounds

How do I upload new sound files to here? Arthur1124 (talk) 13:59, 11 July 2015 (EDT)

.ogg audio files can be uploaded through Special:Upload, just like images. Keep in mind that only certain pages really warrant having audio files, though. Miles (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2015 (EDT)

Well...

I have created a template as you may have saw, that auto-formats trophy descriptions for use on individual pages (I've used it here, for example). Problem is...there's a lot of work in this. I was wondering if I couldn't get your help on this. Serpent King (talk) 08:15, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

I personally wouldn't use a template for that. There's enough pages where the trophy sections will be better off being formatted on a case-by-case setup to make it kind of impractical. Miles (talk) 11:28, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

I disagree. I think you'll find that my template is very flexible. You do not have to have images for one thing (you can add them to the bottom like in character pages). If you do have images, I have made it so you can have them on the left or right, and their size can be changed. Serpent King (talk) 15:34, 21 July 2015 (EDT)

Among other things:

• Only works for SSB4 trophies, creating inconsistency with Melee/Brawl trophy sections.
• Uses North America and Europe flags, when the text of "NTSC"/"PAL" is in my opinion preferable.
• Wii U trophy image defaults to 150px, when the 3DS images are only 128px. Inconsistent.
• Doesn't address the issue of pages with multiple trophies that we'd want to format differently (see Princess Daisy).
• Would require manual implementation across hundreds of pages, not by bot.
• Minimal demonstration that this is demonstrably worth the time and effort needed for implementation.

To be clear: I do appreciate the effort that went into making this template. I just see too many issues to find it worthwhile. Miles (talk) 18:51, 21 July 2015 (EDT)

Edit summaries

Could you try to be actually helpful in your edit summaries? Just saying "nope nope nope" without any further discussion is kind of annoying. If you actually say why you're removing it, people might be more likely to take you seriously and you'll look less power-mad. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 16:44, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

I figured it was extremely obvious why that edit was a bad idea. We have absolutely no need to track that kind of information that way, and I didn't assume anyone would have trouble understanding that. Miles (talk) 16:54, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

Acknowledged. On one hand it felt interesting to have, especially as a general place to put stages where character unlocking takes place, stuff like Reset Bomb Forest appearing in Smash Run and the like. On the other it's not really needed and that information can just be in the intro/other places like it is now. --Menshay (talk) 17:00, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

Miles!

I don't know if you remember me from the old SmashWiki but how are you dude? I was browsing through some of the old places I used to edit years ago and I ended up seeing that you were here-- and active no less! Sure is strange to see people from way back then still editing wikis but it's very, very cool nonetheless. I hope we can catch up! Baltro (talk) 00:25, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Well hi to you too! And yes, I'm still around here. One of the only people still active from way back in the day, but yeah. It's always a little surreal seeing stuff from your past, honestly. Miles (talk) 00:26, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

That's honestly so cool. I try to stay around, at least on my own wiki projects, but seeing stuff left and right from over 7 years ago can be quite nostalgia-inducing. I remember you were always nice to me on SmashWiki, though of course that was years and years ago. It's very strange thinking of where I was in life back then compared to now. But I guess that's what you get when you choose to spend your time on a website where everything is cataloged and saved forever. Baltro (talk) 01:01, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Understandable, definitely. I've seen a lot change since when I got here, but it's more than a little surreal to think about just how long that's actually been. But I figure I still like Smash and still want to help make stuff neat and organized, so I ought to stick around, you know? The fun is still there for me, honestly. Miles (talk) 01:09, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Absolutely. I started on Wikia when I was only just barely a teenager. And now here I am having graduated college. I can't even remember why it was that I felt I had to leave SmashWiki. Parts of my memories on these projects are so clear and others are so foggy. Baltro (talk) 01:19, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Miles?

May you please un probate me? I've learned my lesson very well. M0nkledon4 (talk) 12:31, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Make some more constructive mainspace edits first. You've so far made only three. Miles (talk) 16:38, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
