NavBox

Well, i did notice that it didn't work but it'll make a lot simpler to make NavBoxes or to modify old ones.KazMx 16:20, February 4, 2008 (EST)

F-Zero Template

Hello again, i had created a new tamplate for the f-zero universe Template:F-Zero, so what you think, should i take it to the other universes?

Not yet. There's something I want to try along those lines, but I didn't want to make it that tall. I'll have a go at it later. --Sky (t | c | w) 17:33, February 4, 2008 (EST)

smasherbeta

1. i don't know how to fix templates, nor do i want to learn how.
2. not everyone plays Brawl and not every Melee character returns. it's for both Melee and Brawl.

besides, why should i let someone undo all my hard work? especially if i'm right and they're charging ahead without doing any research? FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 23:18, February 19, 2008 (EST)

Delete Please?

Hi Sky2042, I don't think we've met, but, anyway, a user created a page here that is misspelled, and I'm sure it's covered in the assist trophy page, but anyway, here is the link: Shadow assits trophy Could you delete it?

Deletions

While I appreciate your help, please note that deleting a page really should be the last resort. If it can be cleaned up, redirected, merged, or added to, then it should be done. Deletion is really for those horrid things, like spam, joke pages, and duplicate images. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 21:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm hitting up everyone that I'm seeing constantly add delete tags to things. I'm looking for that Logan guy 'cause I can't remember his username... FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Character pages need to be edited

Hi, I've been looking at some of character pages and I'd like to know how they're regulated. It also looks like there's been some vandalism, especially in the "Pro" and "Con" sections. For example, the Toon Link character page is extremely unbalanced and it looks like it needs a lot of revising. I'll be more specific if needed, but I'd like to get your opinion on the matter first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.121.93 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't what to do

Danabatista has made some edits on the Mario character page that don't seem very good but she won't anwser me on her profile page and I'm afraid to make any edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.95.50.70 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for the "You're more than welcome to, please, be gentle. =)" comment regarding the Super Smash Duel article. I was going to edit it before, but I wasn't sure if I was welcome to after what I said. It really irritates me when people advertise. Anyway, I thank you for your kindness, its nice to know that kindness can be received, even if it was given to someone who wasn't being very kind at the time. I apologize for any hassle I may have caused you. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk) 06:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC))

It looks like its peaceful, but I have a feeling that a editing dispute may happen, hopefully not. I wonder why Super Smash Flash isn't getting a dispute. To tell you the truth, I ponder why we even have fan-game articles.. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk) 18:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC))

Thanks for protecting the Link article. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 21:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC))

Sysop Nominations

I put up what I think is a possible solution to the sysop nomination situation. Randall thinks that we should just end the whole thing. I think it would be good to get all the active sysops in before we make a final decision. If you could take a look at the sysop nomination talk page and give your opinion, that would be great.

Help

Hello. I was wondering if there was anyway I could help with the SmashWiki:Merge "project"? If possible. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 06:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC))

Where can I find the articles? I've searched, but to no avail. Thank you. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 06:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC))

Have I done something(s) wrong when I redirected? I'll stop if that is what you want. I'm asking because I'am unsure. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 05:47, 29 June 2008 (UTC))

IP's of User Accounts

Is there anyway to get the last IP address used by an account. I know that it automatically bans the last IP when I ban a user, but my crew has been experiencing some harassment from multiple accounts and on other sites (i.e. youtube). I think that it is one or just a few people, but I'd like to get a look at the IP's to try and figure it all out. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Vandal Script

I'am currently using an anti-vandal script I imported from Wikipedia. If possible, could I create the userpage that the script redirects to? This way, the format would be more appealing to those who use the script (including myself). (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 23:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC))

Would it be alright if I created that page then? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 04:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC))

User:Shadowcrest/policy

As a sysop, I expect you to be interested in benefitting the community- and I wholeheartedly believe that the implementation of all of the proposed policies/other administration-related things listed on that page would benefit the wiki. It would be greatly appreciated if you would point out any issues you have with any of the things listed on that page, and whether or not you think any or all of them should be implemented, and if not, why not.

Of course, I realize you have a life and other things to attend to- I don't expect this to be completed overnight ;)

Whenever you get the chance, it would be great if you would comment on them.

Semicolon

Was his ban really necessary? He was getting a little off topic, but I see where he was coming from telling Shadowcrest to cool off. After all, Shadowcrest was the one that started the whole thing by asking "what the fuck" is up with this. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 18:26, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I think there's a difference between telling me to cool down and stating that I suffer from contempt for this wiki and its inhabitants. I have nothing personal against anyone here. I can count the people that I wouldn't trust myself to make unbiased judgments against on one hand, and none of them are here. I do think this wiki could use help in some areas, and that's why I'm here and that's what I'm trying to do. Nothing more. Looking back, I realize that that post was more inflammatory than I wanted it to be. I just wanted to make it very clear why I was opposing Charitwo and possibly enlighten others who would listen, especially since I knew everyone would go "lolbias" once they saw me switching to oppose. By that token, if you decided to ban me for a day, I won't be offended or anything. I wouldn't agree with it or like it, but at least I would understand it. I also realize you probably think I'm biased, but I'm doing my best not to be.. and you'll just have to trust me on that. --Shadowcrest 19:10, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I read his reply like you apparently read it, Shadowcrest, and I won't have any of it. Yours did not seem inflammatory to the degree that his did. See also user talk:Clarinet Hawk. --Sky (t · c · w) 23:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Messageboxes

Hey Sky2042, I was just wondering why you removed the messagebox code from MediaWiki:Common.css? Some templates use it, like Template:Archive. Should it be put back in or should we just update the code of the the templates that used the messagebox code?--Richard 19:01, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the generic revert there. I'm not that competent with the coding, so I didn't want to get into anything too big, but I was trying to see if there was some way to get the message boxes back. I really don't know what happened to them. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Templates

Don't just go around deleting them. And if you do, at least take the non-existant template codes of the pages they were already on. It's quite unconstructive. KP317 (talk) 02:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

whoa, i sounded like an asshole right there. sorry, im pissed about my wifi... anyways, yeah, the fire emblem templates you deleted stayed on their pages. KP317 (talk) 02:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

im confused. *yawns* i saw randall delete old templates from the fire emblem ones, and i saw that you deleted fire emblem templates a while ago, so i kind of put 2 and 2 together. KP317 (talk) 02:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Template:Image

I found this in the back archives of the Main Page's talk, but thought it useful. Problem is, I'm rather unknowledgeable regarding metawiki stuff, and the template caused problems on Monkey Flip when I tried to use it. I think the template is worth keeping, but needs improvement big time. Thoughts? {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 02:01, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you mean this? {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 02:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Problem is, even though this template is well separated, it still shows up NEXT TO the text that I'm currently typing. I'm presuming there's some obvious fix for this I don't know? {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 03:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Pulled the template off your page. Also, check the Ike Special Moves template; it seemed iffy... you'll see what I mean. Thanks for the help! {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 21:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Compare:

All but Ike look like Luigi's. Fix? {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 01:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm... I'll undo the Ike difference just because the other one is slightly more readable, and the size is of lesser importance. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 19:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Move

I think that, as we've just seen, the move function is too powerful to let any random user use. I would recommend changing it to only be available to auto-confirmed users, so we don't have as many problems like with Super Freak and LarioGalaxy. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 01:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Just for reference, I've asked KyleH if it's possible to enable it for smashwiki (not to actually do it though), and it is possible. So it's always an option if concensus wants it. --Shadowcrest 20:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, let's do it if we can. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I honestly don't have an opinion either way. I've grown to enjoy the thought of IPs and newbies being able to contribute in as many ways as they think they can, but I also see the benefits of disallowing it (after all, I am originally from WoWWiki, which disallows IPs from editing...).
Again, if you think it necessary, go ahead and ask KyleH or JSharp to turn it on. I won't mind, though it's your heads if there's an IP that wants to move an article. :) --Sky (t · c · w) 23:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Stage list

Um, what exactly is the logic behind turning List of stages into a redirect? It's one of the subpages that shows up on Google if you type in "smash wiki". This also seems to be unnecessary removal of a handy listing. Thought I should ask before my I follow my instinct to undo. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 22:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

There is little reason for the content to be located on a separate page. I plan to update the sidebar accordingly. --Sky (t · c · w) 22:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

New question: See FNW's talk, subsection Old Stuff of Merit. I'll watch for a response here. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 01:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Videos

Hey Sky. I wanted to give you a heads up on a new project that we, the Wikia Gaming Team, are starting. I'm going to the top gaming wikis and adding relevant videos (from YouTube) to a few of the most popular/visited articles. We'll be tracking their usage to find out if it could be an extra enhancement that people will use (ie. a new widget). I noticed that SmashWiki has a Videos category, but the videos on the articles are (externally) linked to. What I wanted to ask is if it would be ok to change the videos from external links to embedded, so that we can track the usage. Wikia has a custom code for embedding YouTube videos - <youtube>VideoID</youtube> - and with the videos being embedded, people won't have to leave the wiki to watch them. I'll be glad to take care of this after I hear back from you. If you have any questions, ask away. JoePlay (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concern about the videos. Obviously not everyone will welcome them. This is just something we're testing right now at the top 25 gaming wikis, so if you guys prefer not to participate in the test, that's no problem. I'll take your suggestion and contact the other 2 currently active admins about it and invite them to add to your feedback on my talk page. By the way, the dimensions of the embedded videos can be scaled down with the youtube code. So if someone wanted to display the video at a smaller size (to take up less page space), he could edit the width and height in the youtube code. Example:

<youtube width="200" height="166">hPTFpBWZbIA</youtube>

...which is about half the normal size. Anyway, I'll go contact Erik and Silverdragon now. JoePlay (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Picture removal

Could you or another sysop please delete the 10 komodo dragon pictures that banned user Dragenah uploaded? Thanks. Miles (talk - contribs) 02:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
