:Nowhere in your post did it say this, which is what's actually on the page. Look, "which deals 4% damage" is an '''appositive''' under normal circumstances, not an adjective clause. However, when you add in the last part, and it becomes an adjective clause. Now, both the middle part and ending part become adjective clauses of the spike.

Thanks, but I've already read most of these things when I was an IP.Qwerty (talk) 12:47, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

SW:SIGN

Hi, your current signature is in violation of our signature policy on two counts:

  • You can't use an image in your signature that's for use within the mainspace. If you want the Ness head icon, you must upload a duplicate specifically for use in your signature.
  • You can't use text colors in your signature that makes it difficult to read on our default white background. You must either change your text color to something more readable against white, or add a background to your signature that makes bright yellow text readable.

Go and fix these asap. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 14:27, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

His signature is perfectly readable to me. It is a darker yellow, so it is pretty clear against the white background. But the image issue needs to be taken care of. ChuckNorrisFor usage in ChuckNorris24's signature. 14:42, 18 May 2014 (EDT)
The color is barely legible against white. If it's "perfectly readable" to you, good for you then, but it's certainly not to others. Qwerty can make the change to make their signature more legible. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 14:57, 18 May 2014 (EDT)
How's this? [[User:Qwerty|<font face="sand" color="purple">Qwerty</font>]] [[User talk:Qwerty|<font face="sand" color="silver">the</font> <font face="sand" color="red">lord</font>]] [[File:Nessytrewq.jpg|16px]]Qwerty the lord Nessytrewq.jpg 16:19, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

YOUR EDIT SUMMARIES

ARE IN ALL CAPS FOR NO REASON AND REALLY SERVE TO DO NOTHING BUT MAKE US PAY ATTENTION TO HOW YOU'RE OVERFOCUSING ON CHANGING LINKS INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY ADDING MEANINGFUL CONTENT TO THE WIKI IN OTHER WAYS, SUCH AS COMPETITIVE CONTENT OR FIXING THE STUBS. Seriously though, you're doing bot work, and although that's appreciated, you could tone down your edit summaries, because there are other ways to improve the Wiki, and your method is not the primary method.

The two H templates

They're good templates to have, but I don't get the name. What does "H" have to do with links to sections and anchors? Toomai Glittershine ??? The Xanthic 00:47, 18 June 2014 (EDT)

H is for hashtag.Qwerty the lord Nessytrewq.jpg 00:59, 18 June 2014 (EDT)
Hmm that's rather unintuitive, since the term "hashtag" is exclusive to social media. I'll try to come up with something most users would understand. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Glow 09:38, 18 June 2014 (EDT)
You'd have to live under a rock to not know what a hashtag is. B is not for parentheses, s is not for colon, but h is for hashtag. If you are going to go on with this plan, please go over my contribs for any pages I may have added it to.Qwerty the lord Nessytrewq.jpg 12:36, 18 June 2014 (EDT)

Grammar Stuff

"They wield a spike on their back, which deals 4% damage, and they possess the ability to walk on walls."

Let's remove the non-essential adjective clause first.

"They wield a spike on their back, and they possess the ability to walk on walls." is a valid statement.

"They wield a spike on their back and possess the ability to walk on walls." is also a valid statement, because the ability possession still belongs to the "they", even if the comma stayed there. Both sentences are grammatically correct, although the second one is more streamlined for us. Removing the "which", however, made the sentence a lot easier to understand if that was confusing.

Nowhere in your post did it say this, which is what's actually on the page. Look, "which deals 4% damage" is an appositive under normal circumstances, not an adjective clause. However, when you add in the last part, and it becomes an adjective clause. Now, both the middle part and ending part become adjective clauses of the spike. In no universe is that grammatically correct.Qwerty the lord Nessytrewq.jpg 11:45, 12 July 2014 (EDT)
