Animations

moved from previous section

One more thing, is it legal for users to upload animations?Lucasthefourth PK Thunder!! 09:53, 7 March 2011 (EST)

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? MegaTron1XD 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? MegaTron1XD 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 LANDMASTER! 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

1. We should update our interwiki data for Metroid Wiki...
2. 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? -Ivy73 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. MegaTron1XD 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 (contributions) 14:21, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Multiple, bad faith edits to the same page by the same editor is where Rollback is most effective. However, any bad faith edit that doesn't require explanation is suitable for Rollback use. Omega Tyrant 14:31, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

"Solar Dragon"

Could you rename/merge this account to something else, since I'm 99+% sure it's not the Solar Dragon from NIWA. Miles (talk) 12:26, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Monobook

What is "Monobook"?--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 12:54, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Monobook is the default skin of this wiki. We also have a skin called Vector, which you can switch to if you choose by going to the Appearance tab of your preferences. Toomai Glittershine The Researcher 14:06, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Could you check this?

Hey Toomai, can you see if a thrown Mr.Saturn is a meteor smash on grounded opponents? I've noticed how it hits grounded opponents like a meteor smash too weak to produce knockback would, and in multi-man mode, it sends alloys on a pure vertical trajectory. Omega Tyrant 16:35, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

Yes indeed, it's the Sakurai angle in the air and a meteor on the ground. Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 19:09, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

Notices move

I was thinking about naming the article "Notice" but since brawl has them in the section "Notices" I made the title the latter, are you sure about the move? Challenges are still named "Challenges" which is what brawl named them and it is not the singular term.--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 09:08, 12 May 2011 (EDT)

It's a general rule that article titles should be in the singular form when possible, see the manual of style. I'll move the challenges page. Toomai Glittershine The Riotous 12:00, 12 May 2011 (EDT)

Question about plagiarism

A user on Wikia plagiarized the intro the Mario (SSBB), so I reverted that and blocked him/her. Does Wikia have anything against that? MegaTron1XD 00:49, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Saying it's "plagarism" should be enough of a reason to revert something. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 08:59, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Another plagiarism on Wikia. There needs to be a rule about doing such a thing, so can you make one? I kinda lack the skills to even think about how to say it without getting right to the point with no explaination <_< MegaTron1XD 18:13, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Online?

Special:Whosonline sometimes say I'm online when I'm not. Is that normal?--Wolf rulez! Yes he does! 13:41, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

I don't really know how WhosOnline works, though the most likely reason is caching (displaying an old version of a page so it doesn't have to load it again). Toomai Glittershine The Different 13:56, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

Sorry for not being online for much Toomai speaking of online. ..... Falconchu... 18:36, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

There's nothing wrong with not being online much. You aren't expected to have your face to the wiki X hours a day. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 18:52, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

RfR

Do the three edits have to be recent or from any time since we moved here? DoctorPain99 19:59, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

They don't have to be recent. Toomai Glittershine The Different 21:53, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

Hey

Toomai I have a question. Can I change my username Luke5176 (talk)

A new account would have to be made. MegaTron1XD 17:30, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

I do have the ability to rename users. That said, make sure you're changing to a username you want to stick with, because it isn't something I plan to do more than rarely. Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 17:46, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, the guy who created this wiki was originally called Shadowcrest, but he changed his username to Emmett. Mr. Anon (talk) 17:49, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

Sort of. Shadowcrest/Salad/Emmett didn't use Special:RenameUser; he created two accounts on this Wiki. Shadowcrest, the name he used at SmashWikia, and Emmett, the account he used here. Also, in now way is he the guy who created this wiki. This guy created the original SmashWiki, this guy created SmashWikia, and this guy created the NIWA Wiki we're on now. Not to mention that the above comment is totally irrelevant to the discussion; the only reason I'm replying to it is to correct false information. DoctorPain99 18:08, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

I have a name to stick withLuke5176 (talk) 19:39, 27 May 2011 (EDT)
