Depends on what kind of animation. Things like .gifs of moves for use in articles are obviously okay. Animations that are personal images (i.e. have no place in mainspace articles) don't really have a rule for or against. Animations for signature purposes are not allowed as they can be distracting when trying to read comments. Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 10:50, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Cool I give it a shot somedayLucasthefourth PK Thunder!! 08:48, 11 March 2011 (EST)

Well at least something that is appropriate for Smashwiki. ..... (talk) 09:29, 11 March 2011 (EST)

SmashWikia

Try making yourself appear active on it for the next week or so. Slipknot Darkrai from the Donkey Kong Wikis appeared there bothering an inactive bureaucrat for admin powers after his failure to gain adminship on the Donkey Kong Wikis. While I don't believe he is actually any threat to gaining adminship there, he has the tendency to get staff involved, who could then try promoting someone else if they don't see an "active bureaucrat". Omega Tyrant 19:14, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Problem is I'm technically not a bureaucrat there. Maybe lead him to the page where admins were asked for before; since there's already been failures due to lack of time there I think the Wikia guy might just shut him up right away. Toomai Glittershine The Frivolous 21:10, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

I thought that guy gave you bureaucrat after we suggested it to him? As for Darkrai, I blocked him for removing content from pages, so he's ineligible anyway. Omega Tyrant 21:36, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

boss

are you like the big boss around here--kyle.b talk 10:54, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Eh, yes and no. In the sense that I have more buttons than other users, then yes. In the sense that I'm the most important person here, that can go either way depending who you talk to. In the sense that I can sit here and order people around, then not really. Try reading this. Toomai Glittershine The Different 11:12, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Its only because youre the buerocrat i asked--kyle.b talk 12:03, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

User-ness

Hey Toom, it's Piratehunter. I was wondering if you could perhaps work on "taking out" that sock account that impersonated me a while back; I'd like to actually set up a real account to start editing :P Didn't know if you had server access or not, heheh. Thanks! Piratehunter 12:31, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

I do have the ability to delete users, but only by merging them with another one, and I don't think there's much of a way around it even with server access. (We do have The Spam Account as a merge option but that's not exactly the right thing to do in my opinion, seeing as that sockpuppet was certainly not a spam account.) You can ask Porplemontage about it to be sure. If worst comes to worst I could always change the password on the sock account and then give it to you (if I don't have to go to Porplemontage for it), though you'd have to deal with the sock's contributions and talk page (which we would archive). Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 13:52, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Why not make a "The Failed Sockpuppet" account or something of that ilk and merge it to that? Miles (talk) 14:36, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Actually, PH, if you want to register a new account called "PH Impersonator" or something (so you have control of it), then I can merge the sock into it and your username should then be free. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 17:53, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

I have a question

What is the best way to contact Porple? Mega Tron1 XD 09:58, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Message him on the NIWA forums would be my guess, or maybe try his Mariowiki talk? Miles (talk) 11:12, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Even his talk page here wouldn't be too bad if it's not urgent; he does come by about two or three times a week. Toomai Glittershine The Frivolous 11:41, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Also, how do you merge spam accounts? Mega Tron1 XD 11:47, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

With Special:UserMerge. Only bureaucrats can do it, and you need this extension. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 13:16, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Quick question about textures

Why is it that some textures freeze the game in 1P mode when there are more than 2 characters on screen, but don't do so in Vs. mode? Omega Tyrant 23:25, 31 March 2011 (EDT)

I've never tried using textures; I wouldn't know. Toomai Glittershine Le Grand Fromage 23:28, 31 March 2011 (EDT)

Brawl?

Would you like to play me online? My friend code has been corrected on my talk page. Mr. Anon (talk) 16:36, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

You don't know this because you were never on IRC at the time, but my connection here doesn't work. My Wii can connect to the internet but it can't connect to other players. Toomai Glittershine Le Grand Fromage 17:21, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

My Wii connection is not very good or horible. ..... (talk) 17:42, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

IRC

There's something I would like to talk with you about. Omega Tyrant 19:23, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Suggestions

There's only three matches in the queue for the Smash Arena. You should be able to reopen suggestions. Brawlingbrian LAND MASTER! 18:07, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

I suppose I could, but ever since I closed suggestions the plan was to re-open them next week. I plan to stick to the plan. Toomai Glittershine The Incomprehensible 18:13, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

So after this Yoshi >< Luigi, Suggestion WILL be opened again, right?Lucasthefourth Spartan birds 10:28, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

This is correct. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 11:54, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

YES! thank you oh my master Toomai(kidding)!! XD X) Lucasthefourth Spartan birds 10:49, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

Interwiki

We should update our interwiki data for Metroid Wiki...
and get this while we're at it. Miles (talk) 17:13, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

Another thing: I had porple install the ReplaceText extension with the goal of using it to whittle down some of the links to deleted pages that are clogging the WantedPages. Any chance you can use it to clean stuff up? Thanks! Miles (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

IRC Trouble

For some reason, I can't get on IRC gamesurge. "Your host is trying to (re)connect too fast -- throttled" keeps showing up as the error. Does this happen to you or anyone else? -Ivy 73 21:12, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

About smash arena

Why are some of the suggestions removed? Mine was. Does this mean we users could make another suggestion? Mastergameandwatch (talk) 20:07, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

They were removed because Toomai decided whether or not they'd pass. And if the week is up, you can make another suggestion. Mega Tron1 XD 20:09, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

Vandalism

There are a few pages I added to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. Also, User:Thomas McElroy should be banned too. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:09, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Toomai, there's an user named T?omai. I see him in the Who's Online. I didn't see him doing something, but, is an impersonator okay in Smashwiki? Kirbythe Amazing 10:33, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Ah, nevermind. That user gone. Kirbythe Amazing 10:35, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Said user has already been blocked. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 10:36, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

SSE enemies

What did you add to the articles of SSE enemies?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 12:21, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

I added the {{EnemyResistances}} template to all the ones that I hadn't done yet. Toomai Glittershine The Superlative 12:49, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Oh.--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 12:50, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

How do you know the enemies resistances?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 12:53, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

I use pattern analysis on enemy data extracted from the Subspace Emissary stage files. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 12:58, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Sounds complex.--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:01, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

He basically hacks the game, except instead of changing any of the code, he just looks at the existing code and uses it to find data. Mr. Anon (talk) 21:28, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Box

It's forbidden to have a new message box at the top of your page, right?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:23, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

did you just tell me to do somthing you didnt know about??!!!--kyle.b talk

13:25, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:26, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

I think its aloud, lucus the fourth has three on his page--kyle.b talk

13:27, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

But that boxes don't have the same text as real message boxes.--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:30, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

The "You have new messages" box is not allowed, as it doesn't add actual content to your userpage, and it can cause someone to think their talk page was edited at that time, wasting their time to see the new message they thought they had. Omega Tyrant 13:30, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

so is lucus's aluod?--kyle.b talk

13:33, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

For Lucas, he has a joke variation done, which is acceptable. But having the same exact message box that appears when someone edits your talk page on top of your userpage is not. Omega Tyrant 13:35, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Wrong file name

Can you please change it?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 11:37, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

I don't see what's "wrong" about it. Toomai Glittershine The Ghostbuster 11:40, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

Um... The BALLZ part?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 11:40, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

What do you expect me to do, magically come up with what you want it to be renamed to? Toomai Glittershine The Emissary 11:43, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

Oops, forgot to say... Um, Smoke Ball Falco.png?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 11:44, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

You can delete the redirect now. No need for an image redirect really. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:32, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

contrib

how do i make a link to my contrubutions in my sig--kyle.b talk 10:44, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

cancel, ifured it out--kyle.b talk (contributions) 11:00, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

Question

May rollback be used to undo edits like this?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:54, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

I'd say an undo with an explanation of "SSBB stuff doesn't belong in SSBM articles" would have been better, unless it's the third or fourth time or something. Toomai Glittershine The Celeritous 13:56, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Just normal undo then?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 13:57, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

In this case yes. Toomai Glittershine The Eggster 14:05, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

rollback should just be used for mass amounts of incorect changes right?--kyle.b talk
