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)

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)

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)

Signature Font

If you don't mind me asking, which font do you use for your signature? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 07:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC))

Just edit the page and look at his coding. (FYI, it's "Vivaldi")–Entrea Sumatae 15:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's vivaldi. Back on GuildWiki, I started using this font, and then like 8 other people started to use it :P

You're welcome to use it as well. --Shadowcrest 19:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 19:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC))

Hope you don't mind me doing so as well, I want to stand out! Plus it looks neat. Oh, and your new policy ideas are brilliant, and I can't wait for them to be instated on the wiki. Cheezperson

I agree. --Shadowcrest 03:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

In seriousness, if x=y, then x-y=0; therefore, anything over x-y is a division by zero and cannot be calculated. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 21:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes. And since only Chuck Norris can divide by 0, that's where Entrea's comment came from. --Shadowcrest 21:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

And if you compare revisons, you will see my last post contained an explanation that Shadowcrest then removed.–Entrea Sumatae 21:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Two things about the poll

First of all, last week I removed the same poll that you put up today. If you didn't read my reasoning, it was that polls about the "worst" thing tend to be either a troll in and of themselves or an invitation to other users to troll. This is why GameFAQs doesn't allow top ten lists about the "worst" or "most overrated" games.

The bigger problem I have, however, is you contacting a blocked user and putting up content for him/her. Users get blocked for a reason; Cafinator's has been discussed extensively. I don't know a specific policy to point to, but I would extrapolate the no sockpuppets rule to include getting another user to do things for you. You are obviously an intelligent and devoted editor, and I'm sure you can understand the reasoning behind my thoughts here. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I didn't read your reasoning for removing it because I didn't know where to find it. (I just now checked the history.) Tbh I didn't even know you removed it a first time. So, apologies for that, and I can try to come up with a better poll in a little while.

I read your post on Talk:Main Page after I had posted the poll, and I couldn't just revert (the numbers had already been reset, would have looked stupid, etc. etc.) I do understand your reasoning, though I have some reservations about specific instances. --Shadowcrest 17:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Edit: I see you've already changed the poll, so that's good. And I must also assume the extensive discussion about Cafinator's ban has happened privately elsewhere, because as far as I know the only discussion that has occured was between Cafinator and Randall, though of course I could merely be unaware. --Shadowcrest 17:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Most of the discussion happend priviately between Randall and Cafinator, although there is some on his talk page where I added my two cents about why he is and should be blocked. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 22:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

BNK talk

Now what do you possibly have to gain from starting a debate on a subject you weren't even a part of? That conversation ended when BNK was banned, and we're keeping it that way. If you have anything to say, go ahead, but don't expect me, BNK, or anyone originally in the conversation to hear it. MarioGalaxy {talk} 19:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

What do I personally have to gain? Nothing. What could other people gain from it? The fact that your reasoning sucked and you should stop criticizing KirbyKing for nothing. (That 'you' is collective.)

At the risk of sounding cliched (but I've always wanted to use this phrase), you and what army? "..on a subject you weren't even a part of? That conversation ended when BNK was banned, and we're keeping it that way." It's a wiki, in case you've forgotten; you're not going to stop me just by telling me that you declared it over. If you don't wish me to comment on your failures, take them somewhere I won't see them (eg. off wiki). If you guys refuse to listen to solid logic and wish to retain your erronous thoughts, I can't stop you. --Shadowcrest 19:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Your Sig

...Has no link to your talk page. And if you are against link hovering for unknown or abbreviated signatures, then you should really be against not having a link to your talk page.Smore Talk 15:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect; you misunderstood my opposition, and I don't quite follow your logic. I am opposed to unidentifyable signatures. Having a link to my talk page doesn't make it more easily identifyable than just a link to my userpage, it just makes for less code. What does link hovering have to do with a talkpage link? --Shadowcrest 22:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Um, I know I'm not in this conversation, just one question. Link hovering is when you hold your cursor over the sig, right? Well, I get your point. MarioGalaxy {talk} 22:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome to participate in any conversation held on wiki imo, that's why it's a wiki :P

Yes, that's what link-hovering is. Whose point do you get? --Shadowcrest 22:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Your point. You're talking about sigs that don't identify the user (RJM, FyreNWater, etc.), while SmoreKing thought you meant sigs that don't have links to a user's talk page or contribs. MarioGalaxy {talk} 22:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Because of wikia's restrictions on moving pages, once someone posts on the page it's supposed to be on, it can't be moved back except by sysops. So I can't help with those, and Eulalia seems to be getting those. And the move throttle probably helped us more than hurt us, so I can't really complain about that. --Shadow crest 18:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

← moved to User talk:Miles.oppenheimer

Merging

Just out of curiosity, I have a question to ask you. Why do you always tend to support merging similar articles (Blaster, Reflector, Fire Fox/Bird/Wolf, Glire/Glunder/Glice) and only disagree when there's no practical way to do it? I usually tend to lean the other way and was interested in why you think these types of things should be merged. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 15:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Because they're all mostly the same thing with minor variations. Glice/ire/under all do the same thing, just with different side effects; the blasters are just Fox/Falco/Wolf's spammable special (and they're all semi-clones anyway imo), etc. There's no point in having 3 separate articles when 1 could cover it all. --Shadow crest 15:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... I disagree, but I'll respect your opinion. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 15:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Why do you disagree, out of curiosity. --Shadow crest 15:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Because all of the Blasters, despite their similairty, are different enough to warrant their own pages. The same works for the rest of them in my opinion. I'd rather have a few smaller pages that focus on individual moves than one big conglomerate page. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 15:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Well then I guess agreeing to disagree is the only viable solution, because there's really not a middle-ground in between :P --Shadow crest 15:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

While I am glad you are self-confident and believe in your abilities, I can not in good faith excuse my doubts because of real-life^(TM) circumstances. For example, one of GuildWiki's previous bureaucrats was, as a friend put it, "prO with debate club and peer mediation" (and he was), but he still acted like an elitist ass on wiki and was also very successful as a bureaucrat. His success may have derived from his RL experiences, but that wasn't what made him a good bureaucrat. What made him a good bureaucrat was that he knew what he was doing; he has had a lot of experience with wikis. While the wiki-success may have been derived from RL, RL was not what made him successful. Therefore, I can not accept your conclusion... I'm sorry. --Shadow crest 01:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I figured it out. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 01:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with that page. Are you trying to make a style & formatting guide regarding images, or are you trying to make an "image use" policy? --Shadow crest 01:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

A sort of combination regarding what images are allowed and when to use them. It's vague, and that's part of the problem. I'm not trying to do this kind of guide, but rather trying to establish a sort of explanation of why the wiki needs images, what articles need them, etc. Miles (talk - contribs) 01:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

So you want a style and formatting guide? --Shadow crest 01:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

User Page Edits

Hey Shadowcrest, it's MG. I was just wondering, but do you know how the "mechanics to User page edits work? Here's an example: You know that Dragonmaster User page? Well, I saw that you fixed the image, but I was doing the same thing just now. How come it only shows your edit, and there wasn't a edit conflict? Just curious. MarioGalaxy {talk} 22:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

At first I was confused, but then I realized what you meant.

What happened was, since we made the exact same change, it's called a "null edit", which means that the page was saved but no changes were made. Since I saved first, my edit showed up and not yours. Edit conflicts can only occur when we both edit the page at the same time, but our changes are different. --Shadow crest 22:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, what do you mean by different? We were both finishing the "]]" section of the image text. Plus, your change did happen, since we can now see the image. MarioGalaxy {talk} 22:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

We would have had to have added different text to make an edit conflict occur. For example, if I had typed ]] while you were typing %% and I saved first, you'd get an edit conflict. Since we both typed ]], your revision was the same as mine and it's almost as if your edit never happened. (There is one use for null edits, but I don't know how to explain it, I just know how it's useful.) --Shadow crest 22:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Thanks for the explanation. MarioGalaxy {talk} 22:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

hmm... That's strange

You haven't opposed my RfR yet. Considering what has happened in the last 10 minutes, I figured you would of.(By the way, when are you going to start those FA drafts?) But in all srsns, please don't oppose me.SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 23:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

uh.

uh, can I just say HOLY CRAP. and I thought I had done alot. but then again, his/hers use images, and are all disaligned and larger. But it's still evident that there are more than mine. Also, I would just reply on my talk page, like your big sign says, but it also mentions pointing towards a comment that I made that you possibly ignored. I'm not saying you ignored it, but you never did acknowledge my comment I added telling you I would strike out my neutral comment on your RfA. Geez, that was a mouthfull.

I expected you to write something completely different, but I see your point. Sorry. In your summary, you could've wrote "Plz don't link me in this forum" or something like that. :^) Koopa

Userpage policy

Good idea on making one. I'd like to help you with it, if you'd accept my services. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Well really I was just going to take GWW's user page policy and modify it, though you're welcome to comment on it or submit your own draft if you feel so inclined. --Shadow crest 23:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

No it looks good! Obviously, the image rules will have to change (administration here doesn't like personal pictures on userpages). Other than that, I think It'll work. Just put it up and see what people think. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Just as a clarification, personal images are OK if they are an image of you. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 00:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was just one for smasher pages. So you're saying no personal images on userpages (unless they're of yourself). Cheezperson {talk}stuff 00:13, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Span style/font color

Hey Shadowcrest, it's MG. Do you mind if I ask you a small question? You see, I saw (overheard wouldn't make sense) your conversation with PG348 about span and font. Does that only apply to links to user/talk pages (in sigs and links in general), or does that also apply to simple text? Just curious. If this seems to unimportant, you can just cross out this comment. Thank you. MarioGalaxy ^{A Galaxy begins anew...} 23:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, it was not I who corrected you, but Sky2042. (that rhymed, I'm so ftw)

Secondly, font tags are depreciated and are no longer the standard to use. While they may work now as sky said, they may not always work so, whereas span is the offical tags used by html and xthml. Wherever a font tag is used, span is the preferable substitute, whether in links or text or what-have-you. --Shadow crest 00:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Ah. That's all I needed to hear. Thank you. MarioGalaxy<
