More Trophy Disscusions

So I just edited your page with trophy prices (hope that was correct) and realized that because it's not in a table it'll be really hard to upload to the trophy pages when it's done. So do you want to change it to a table, should I make a userpage with an example, or is there some protocol I'm not following. Just wondering. AmoongussForLife (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

The template used on the trophy pages has parameters for prices; at this point you might as well add new numbers directly there instead of gathering them on my page. Toomai Glittershine The Emissary 22:29, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

Okay, thank you. AmoongussForLife (talk) 12:50, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

I am assuming you just overlooked it

But could you look at this? Serpent∞King (talk) 06:14, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

If a user signs up with the name of a hated person...

Is it intolerable to pick a username of someone who is severely hated in real life? - Drilly Dilly (talk) 04:25, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

That's probably to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Toomai Glittershine The Interspacial 14:16, 29 September 2015 (EDT)

Heavy revisions of featured articles

In my spare time I am working on a revision of most stage pages, to give them a more uniform structure and prune unnecessary verbosity. The thing is, some of them are featured articles, but I do feel they sometimes need changes, ranging from a simple standardization to at times heavy reorganizations or rewrites: to give some examples, WarioWare's stage description includes stuff that should be in Origin, Castle Siege needs more details on the stage versions and likely a pruning of the Origin section, Temple and Halberd have somewhat awkward structures.

Exactly how much freedom do I have in revising them? For a reference on how I'm doing these (and I guess a general quality check of my work), you can check the ones I've marked as green in the full list on the page linked above. Thanks in advance. -Menshay (talk) 08:28, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

The answer to this I guess would require knowing how exactly we would go about "unfeaturing" an article should it dip below the quality marker, which we don't actually have right now. So I'm not really sure. In that sense, I suppose the only real limit would be "don't do anything that would make the page fail a hypothetical future feature nomination".

Nyargleblargle's RfA

I feel like it has gone down for long enough. Since Miles is on the fence, it is up to you to make the decision. Ganonmew (talk) 10:10, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

For clarity, I can't resolve it regardless. Only a bureaucrat can do that. Miles (talk) 11:53, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

I just found out. Where is Toomai? Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 20:04, 28 September 2015 (EDT)

Question:

Do you have plans to do directional c-stick icons for the GameCube controller like we did with the control stick? Serpent∞King (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

I believe I have all nine directions with optional "smash" starburst for all sticks of all controllers, ready for when they're needed. Toomai Glittershine El Pollo 10:19, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

I was thinking of having a technique infobox template that would include a controller input field. Those would be ideal for that. Could you upload the rest? Serpent∞King (talk) 17:00, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Hmmm...I think I will upload the rest of them once I can get them all together, but I'm not sure about that purpose, since the concept of custom controls (and multiple controllers per game) wrecks it. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 10:27, 4 October 2015 (EDT)

I was just going to do their defaults. Also each controller handles more or less the same for each game, so I was just going to go by controller and note differences between games if there were any. Serpent∞King (talk) 01:48, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

That's kind of the secondary problem though. There's 7 different controllers that can be used with SSB4, which means that on a page like [pivot grab], we'd need 7 rows of icons in the infobox (one for each controller), and that right there is a mess. For what you're describing, just using words sounds much simpler. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 10:34, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

Oh alright, just a thought. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:24, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

I would like your help please

I asked around and people told me to talk to you for this, but I've grown out of my Bulbaboy name, and I'd like to have it changed to my competitive Smash nickname Disaster Flare. Could you please do that whenever possible? Bulbaboy (talk) 18:02, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

As per SW:NAMECHANGE, ask again in a few days. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 10:27, 4 October 2015 (EDT)

Okay, I believe it's been long enough, I'd like to confirm to have my name changed to Disaster Flare whenever possible. Bulbaboy (talk) 23:52, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

The Policy Proposals

Any verdict on those? Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 10:30, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

About this

What specifically counts as a "flame attack"? I'm just curious. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 11:48, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

I don't really remember. I think it was originally a joke about the internet term "flaming". Toomai Glittershine The Celeritous 09:21, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

I could imagine it would be somewhat similar to someone raging on the internet... Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 09:22, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

Just asking...

how does a bot such as eXemplary Logic work? I'm curious as to how an AI can work on the wiki. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 15:50, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

The basic idea is that I run a bunch of Python scripts, which know how to download and upload information from/to a wiki very similar to how a user on a web browser would. For example, a replace operation is "get all the pages with [XYZ] in them, change all the [XYZ] to [ABC], and save them back one by one". It's not actually an AI, that's just for flavour. Toomai Glittershine The Different 09:32, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

I would like to ask you a question.

I want to apply for rollback, but I can't because my iPad only holds 1 copy/paste at a time. (The linking method I wanna use requires copypasting.) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:18, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Actually, I'm gonna make a user subpage to circumvent this. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 05:22, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

I also have a Request For Rollback waiting for a response. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:22, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Well my first reaction is, should you really be asking for rollback if you're not editing on a real computer? And my second reaction is "of course you can only hold one copy/paste at a time, that's how computers work". So yeah those might need to be considered as part of the later decision. Toomai Glittershine The Different 09:32, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

1. I use the desktop version of the website on my iPad. 2. OK then. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:34, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Anyways, that's not fair. INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:37, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

I use an iPhone. Always have, always will. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 09:53, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Then how do you rollback on iphones? (I use an iPad on the desktop version) INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 09:56, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

It's the same as any device, it's listed as an option similar to undo. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 09:59, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Then how come Toomai is being device discriminative against me, but not you? INoMed ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 10:03, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

I didn't think it was necessary to mention, so I never brought it up. Actually, I may have mentioned it once, but only recently, after I became admin. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 10:06, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

I'm missing the part where being on an iPad makes a difference. Serpent∞King (talk) 09:58, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

They have a slightly different feel, because it is a touchscreen rather than a full on desktop. Because of that, I make most of my major edits in pages then copy paste them. DekZek, The creature of your nightmares 10:35, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

Ok fine, but that should not make a difference in whether or not an RfR passes. Serpent∞King (talk) 10:51, 14 October 2015 (EDT)

To be clear, I do indeed think it is a not-insignificant disadvantage for anyone to be trying to do anything meaningful work with a wiki (or other text-heavy application) on a mobile device. I don't honestly think it's going to affect an RfX. My comment was more like "if you're having a problem with your mobile thing, why not just make that one edit on a computer?".
