User talk:Toomai/Archive 6

Does the "new" SmashWiki have per-user sidebar editing support, like the old wiki had? Also, can you give me admin powers (as I was an admin on the old wiki, and all the old active admins have admin powers on this wiki) or do I have to submit an RfA again? Penguin of Death 11:45, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

I don't know if individual sidebars are supported. As for your adminship...that's a reaaaaally fickle subject in my opinion. While I think you should get your powers back, there's something in the back of my mind saying "He's been out of the community for a year, he should wait a short time to get back into it first". Any other users care to give their opinions? Toomai Glittershine

The Eggster 12:11, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

There's a MediaWiki Extension for it, and it's probably worth getting. And yeah, I wouldn't leap right into it, I'm getting to know the community and the current running of the wiki first. Penguin of Death 12:20, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

We only have 3 admins and Miles isn't totally active, so having you as an admin would be useful as I see it. Blin dCol ours ...PUNCH!!! 19:15, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

We do need another admin, though PoD hasn't been around for over a year. As such, he'll have to get acquainted with how the community has changed, and show he is going to stick around (unlike Pikamander2, who immediately left after getting his admin powers back), before readmining him.

Pikminader2 came back for the browser poll, and said on my YouTube channel that he may be back when SSB4 get it's own version of the DOJO. Blin dCol ours ...PUNCH!!! 20:09, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

Pikamander2 is not active by any standard, though. The fact that he voted on a browser poll and may be back later is irrelevant. PoD should show he'll actually use admin rights and not just leave again like Pikamander2 did. Dokteur Pain99 20:12, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

I believe PoD should get admin powers, as he used his powers very wisely back when he did have them. Mr. Anon

What are you talking about, BC? I check SmashWiki quite frequently. Miles (talk) 20:59, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

I know that, I just don't see you edit as much as OT and Toomai. But you're still very active. Blin dCol ours ...PUNCH!!! 23:21, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

The reasons being presented in this section are pretty terrible.

Administrators are appointed for life; no amount of inactivity can result in an administrator losing his position, because (for the majority of cases, including this one) only exceptional users were promoted in the first place. Nobody cares if I, with my powers intact, leave the wiki and then return to start using them again, because everyone knows I know what I'm doing. Why should the standards be different for someone who wasn't around at the time of the move to be grandfathered? I agree that there is no outstanding reason to promote someone who will just leave immediately, but even in that situation, what has been lost? The 5 seconds it took the bureaucrat to restore their rights? Lol. – Emmett 21:54, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

Yeah after the bit of thinking between the start of this section and here I tend to agree with this. Will fix. Toomai Glittershine

Kirby's unused Hammer animations

I was rather sceptical about the animations, which is why I removed it. However, as you, an administrator, put it back in, I am willing to believe it.

As a request, however, could you upload images or a video of these animations? I think it'd help the Hammer page, and it could be added to Beta elements.

That's all. ReiDemon 19:33, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

I'll look up how to make .gifs and see what I can do. Toomai Glittershine

Pain sounds in Brawl

Hey Toomai, do you know how to activate the unused pain sounds in a character's pac file? If so, can you come on IRC, and help me activate them with PSA? I'm trying to create pac files that have these sounds used for each character. Omega Tyrant 10:25, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

No I don't know. Toomai Glittershine

The Honcho 17:23, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

Image

Okay so I uploaded it search: image list on the wiki you'll see it right away at the top of all the images I'll delete it off the wiki when your done using it --Slitherx (talk) 20:23, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

How are you so awesome!!!!????--Thejfh1999 (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

It takes effort, dude. While some of it's natural you can't be this awesome without a healthy dose of hard work. Toomai Glittershine

Users who would like to become administrators/bureaucrat

Do users who show desire to become an administrators/bureaucrat here will not become one? Just asking. ..... Trading card game 17:36, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

You have to post your Request for Adminship/Request for Bureaucratship yourself, so no. However, several things make people less inclined to support you:

If you make it clear that you simply want to have the title of admin/bureaucrat, rather than wanting to do more for the wiki and being an admin/bureaucrat would help you do that.
If you have a failed RfA/RfB.
If you nag users to support you, or constantly ask if they think you should post a request.

Basically, don't be annoying, and only do it if you're sure you want it for the right reasons and that you're ready to do the job. Penguin of Death 17:52, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Youtube channel page

Could a link to it be put in the sidebar? The channel page should be easily accessible, which could help in getting more submissions for the channel. Omega Tyrant 18:52, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Yeah okay. Toomai Glittershine

The Producer 19:53, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Question for you

Hey bro, I was wondering you know how in recent changes once you have made a contribution there will usually be points in green or red, well I have 2 questions on this: 1. Do they add up somewhere, and are you able to see this total somewhere? 2. What do they symbolize, just length of edit or something more? -- (T • C ) -- Kill em' All" -- Qu&Wow by Slitherx 21:05, 21 October 2011

Yep, they's basically "length of edit". If you go to a page's history you can see how big the versions of the page are; the +/- numbers show how much an edit changes that size. Toomai Glittershine

The Undirigible 21:07, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Awesome well I bet if there was a total you would probably be in 1st place with 10,000,000 points by now huh?

(T • C ) -- Kill em' All" -- Qu&Wow by Slitherx 21:10, 21 October 2011

They're not points, it's the amount of change in characters, and a good edit doesn't have to have an increase in the amount of characters. Omega Tyrant

21:20, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Lol I already knew this OT i was making a joke to Toomai. --

Subpages

Shouldn't you link your subpages on your userpage? I didn't know some of them even existed until you edited them. Blin dCol ours Thank you for reading my sig. 20:29, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Hm. I'll think about it; some of the stuff in there is more of a storage bin than a display case, while other stuff are hidden bonuses and things like that. Toomai Glittershine

Announcer thing

If its not the announcer that remotes the continue option then what is it that automatically selects no if the player doesn't have enough required coins?--75.142.67.97 19:04, 16 November 2011 (EST)

It says in the Continue article: ...The player can continue if they have enough coins; if not, then "No" will be chosen automatically by the game, the announcer will not tell the player to continue, the continue music will not play when the trophy falls on to the floor and the player receives a game over. So, the game just knows to select "Game Over." Good question, though. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2011 (EST)

SSB4 Roster Contest

Hey, Toomai: Could you advertise in any way possible my contest? Here's the page: User:MeleeMarth01/SSB4 Roster Contest . Thanks. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 18:45, 17 November 2011 (EST)

Um, that would not be an appropriate thing to do. People can go to the page if they want, advertising isn't necessary. Blin dCol ours

19:06, 17 November 2011 (EST)

Generally, only official wiki events are important enough to get "advertised". Toomai Glittershine The Steppin' 20:39, 17 November 2011 (EST)

Okay, good thing to know. MeleeMarth01 (talk) 18:41, 18 November 2011 (EST)

Userboxes

Um, hi. I'm new to this wiki and I want to ask a question. I saw the Userbox on your user page. I have one myself now, but I have trouble adding custom attributes. Could you help me? It's ok if you're too busy. I can wait. Bowzerdude- Pure Epicness! (talk) 16:11, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Why are you asking that to Toomai?

Marioisawesome118 (talk) 12:17, 10 December 2011 (EST)

Comment is pretty old at this time, and Toomai created the userbox template. Omega Tyrant

13:07, 10 December 2011 (EST)

But Toomai did not answer this comment at Toomai's talk page. Marioisawesome118 Rising Falcon

20:25, 13 December 2011 (EST)

I can't speak for Toomai on why this question was ignored, but users don't always respond to every post on their talk page. Omega Tyrant

20:43, 13 December 2011 (EST)

What probably happened was that I looked at the message, thought "hmm maybe later", and then forgot about it. If you still want help, then post your best try on your user page and I'll fix up minor errors and help with major ones. Toomai Glittershine The Jiggy 20:58, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Hi

Toomai, what's are article clean-ups. Marioisawesome118 Marioisawesome118 (talk) 20:47, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Cleanup is when you take an article that needs improvement and work on it until it's better. Toomai Glittershine

Thanks

You do so much on this wiki, and I'm glad I can look up to you when I need help. Merry Christmas to you; and to you, a good Smash. (I just made that up; sorry if you think it's terrible.) MeleeMarth01Merry Christmas!

Did you see

that theres a toomai on Planet 51 wiki. I haven't seen the user page but i saw the activity to it. Its probably here on this url:[1]. But was that the same username and how did it be the same as yours?--BrandondorfFile:Lemsdadhead.png|6px 14:16, 27 December 2011 (EST)

That's all impersonation and crap. Toomai Glittershine

The Celeritous 14:23, 27 December 2011 (EST)

I know but i can tell this key: ο is hard to type because thats the same o as that one but what keys did it use for to make that ο?--BrandondorfFile:Lemsdadhead_(SSBB).png|6px 15:07, 27 December 2011 (EST)

Speaking of the above...

That guy even stole your bin image. And I found out he's new to the wiki as of a few days ago...and is blocked. Darn impersonization. MeleeMarth01Tomorrow is New Year’s! 11:39, 31 December 2011 (EST)

Forum:Melee Stage Articles

Hey. The proposal to which I have linked above has been ongoing for months now, and to me, there now seems to be a clear verdict. Is it possible that this project can go underway? Only an admin can tackle this task, as deleting redirects will be required. Much appreciated -- Toast ltimatum 09:45, 1 January 2012 (EST)

Yeah okay I'll say it's done. Toomai Glittershine

Remember the new matchup chart for Brawl. Just to remind you. :) ZeldasmashFile:ZeldaSymbol.png Talk 19:35, 2 January 2012 (EST)

Tomorrow's looking plausible; no promises unfortunately. Toomai Glittershine

The Different 23:35, 2 January 2012 (EST)

I think you should give it a few more days, as from reading the thread, it seems the chart has mistakes on it and is being tweaked. Omega Tyrant

07:25, 3 January 2012 (EST)

The chart is correct, its the individual character spreads that have mistakes. ZeldasmashFile:ZeldaSymbol.png Talk 07:58, 3 January 2012 (EST)

Glitch Question

I have encountered 2 glitches that are questionable in how they are done. The first is the Blue Falcon and a problem with the camera. The second is one in which the majority of the Smart Bomb explosion was invisible. Since the two can not be recreated, are they glitches, or one time errors in the programming of the game while registering other actions? Mega Tron1 XD 01:27, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Chances are that they are repeatable, but only under circumstances precise enough that trying to repeat them is a waste of time. Toomai Glittershine

Your page

If your 2nd main is Kirby, why does your smasherbeta say random? Smash Master (talk) 13:27, 12 January 2012 (EST)

You are assuming that "what I choose to be my second main" is equivalent to "the character I feel I play second-best". In most cases it is, but in this case I just feel like having Random in the box. No particular reason really. Toomai Glittershine

The Bold 13:34, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Umm...

What happened to People Order Our Patties? Did he stop vandalizing? Avengingbandit 01:42, 13 January 2012 (EST)

Yes he did, Omega tyrant blocked him and his edits was stopped by Solar Dragon. ..... Friday the 13th 0_o

For how long? Oh and sorry for being disrespectful to you on my talk page. Avengingbandit

16:35, 13 January 2012 (EST)

He is a major vandal, so we treated him like it, he got permabanned or infinite time. Like Smashpeter, who is also permabanned, he tried to escape ban by making newer user accounts to replaced his old banned user to raid this wiki. Also like Smashpeter, he has not been very successful in outsmarting the admins here and we just keep reverting his edits. It's ok Avengingbandit, everybody makes mistakes. ..... Friday the 13th 0_o
