User talk:Porplemontage/Archive 8

User Page request
Hey, Porplemontage. I've recently joined the community earlier today with good intention of improving the Super Mario Wiki. However, I am interested in having my own user page without having to wait a week in advance. May you please create one for myself?
 * Sure. -- 01:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

when login?
my bro hasn't logged on recently. He forgot his password and had tried over and over to login, but it said he had made too many recent attempts. He waited at least 45 hours! when can he log in again again? It says to "Try again later", and he tried again... way later! Please help--CosmicRedToad 06:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well... I'm guessing the account doesn't have an email address associated with it. I can reset the password if give me the username and an email address. -- 08:05, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It does! He put in the temporary one from his email that time it showed the error message!--CosmicRedToad 08:09, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The Email address is goozalaba@gmail.com, and the username is CosmicBlueToad.--CosmicRedToad 08:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I sent an email with the new password. -- 17:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * He tried it and obviously he, tried to login too often recently.--CosmicRedToad 05:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know why his IP has been locked out for so long. He can either use another IP, keep trying, or create a new account. -- 06:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay! He'll Make "Cosmic Blue Toad" and if it gets blocked, please unblock him. He's not a sock or anything. Okay?--CosmicRedToad 21:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. If you want, I can rename the original account to something else then rename "Cosmic Blue Toad" to CosmicBlueToad. -- 21:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No thanks. He chose without the spaces at first, but he likes it better with the spaces in between. He says thank you for all your help!--CosmicRedToad 22:03, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Thanks, Porple! Now I just have to get a Sysop to redirect my userpage (CosmicBlueToad) to my userpage (Cosmic Blue Toad). Are you a sysop? Can you do that?--Cosmic Blue Toad 22:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. And if you forget your password again, don't keep entering wrong passwords. I can reset it for you. -- 22:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

BLAH
Hello Porplemontage. I was wondering if it'd be ok for me to put you into a comic I am currently drawing for Userpedia. Don't worry, it won't be anything too big, just some obligatory stuff in the prologue, and then something way later which isn't of much significance yet. So, would that be alright? - 17:04, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah go for it. -- 17:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sweet, thanks. ^__^ - 18:00, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Car, Games
Hey I think User:Francis21 and User:Cargames are socks. Can you please block them? Thanks.
 * Thanks. -- 21:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Protection
I need your help to protect the following page: Proposals/Archive 22. May you please do it?

PS What causes this page to extend like that, but the other archives pages not? I'm trying to solve this issue, but I can't figure out the problem.


 * All good. -- 21:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

The Super Mario Wiki
Hello, i would ou ask something. How did you create this Super Mario Wiki? I see it's not from Wikia. Please answer that question. ---Galaxy 2 06:35, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikia host a lot of wikis, but they don't all come from there. Anyone can install MediaWiki on a webserver and start their own wiki. -- 07:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

NIWA
Shouldn't we have a link to the NIWA page in the menu? 08:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No, the main page is enough. -- 17:59, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Adverts
Or rather, the lack of them. I just want to know whether this will be permanemt or not, just out of curiosity. 16:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Congratulations, it's permanent. -- 17:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, I made a typo!! But the Adverts? Are they gone forever or not? 17:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As long as you're logged in you won't see them (and I wasn't commenting on your typo, sorry if it seemed that way, the change is permanent). -- 18:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's cool! Sorry, I did think that at first, but it's okay now. 17:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Image
Hey, Steve, can you delete this glitched image?:



It has been replaced with a non-glitched version. It cannot be edited, only created - see here for more info on said glitch. Thanks. 19:35, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok -- 19:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Forum
Can you help me figure out what the to and BCC mean on the forum?I tried sending something to Pride of the Yankees (or Tucayo) but it kept sending them to me.Please help! Yoshi Tron  23:17, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Just go to his profile and hit send PM. -- 23:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I gave you the direct link to PM me. BTW Steve, can you check the last 2 posts in the problems thread, please? -- 00:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

E-mail
Hi Steve! The guys at NIWA said that your e-mail (steve@porplemontage.com) is not valid. Do you have any otehr mail we can use as a contact? -- 16:23, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it, thanks. -- 01:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Question
Could you please delete whats in the To be deleted category? Its getting full.


 * Looks like Tucayo did some work. -- 01:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I didnt realize you put your talk responses on YOUR talk page instead of mine. Thats why i never replied. Sorry. So how old are you? I'm 12.

Hi
You move Wikias to NIWA right? Small heads up, Donkey Kong Wiki(a) is considering a move. Just to let you know ahead of time. Not entirely sure about it yet, I'll keep you updated. HavocReaper48 21:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I do own donkeykongwiki.com and could move them. -- 22:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Friends
Hello Steve.Think we can be friends.--User:UltraMario3000
 * I don't see why not. -- 03:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.BTW why can't I edit my own userpage.--User:UltraMario3000
 * You should be able to edit it. What happens when you try? -- 21:11, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Well I just can't.Theres no "edit" button on my page.--User:UltraMario3000
 * Alright, so use this link. Is there a message above the box telling you why you cannot edit? Try to save something. -- 22:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Well,theres no message and I edited it,but theres still no link on my page to edit it.--User:UltraMario3000

Never mind.I just found out how to edit my userpage.--User:UltraMario3000

25 Years
I was wondering if you were involved in any events for the Mario series' 25th anniversary. I'm sure you could find some way to help promote the Wiki. Maybe you could get on TV or something.

Please respond on my talk page.
 * Sorry about the talk page but no events. -- 02:18, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

User page?
Could you make my user page? Here's a link:--Sig. 20:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I made this same request up there (I'm a noob here) so I'm putting it here, if my request has been answered, please do not not make another. Shroom fanatic 73 :)

Yo
Hey Porple. I was wondering if you know what happened to stooben. I asked him about the shroom but he didn't responsed. Do you know what happened to him?
 * Nope, I haven't heard anything. -- 03:33, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hey Steve,I have a question.Aren't you a sysop of your own wiki.--User:UltraMario3000
 * Yeah. -- 07:48, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Could you please delete the stuff in the To be deleted category? It has over 50 files in it!


 * I think the other sysops enjoy deleting things more than I do. -- 05:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi I have a question
Acutally two, but whatever. Number One: When I logged on, I notced my userpage exsisted.Does that mean I got promoted? Number two: Can we be friends? Thanx,Boun C ball.
 * Your userpage exists because you have been blessed. We are friends. -- 05:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Thanx.--Sig ashley 15:21, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

StrategyWiki
Can you add them to the interwiki table? They joined NIWA. http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page 21:15, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reminding me. -- 23:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Pikipedia
Something's gone strange. Database mixed up with Smashwiki?


 * Mm, seems to be fixed.

New engine™
Add skins and gadgets
 * Thanks! -- 02:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

SmashWiki
Is SmashWiki an official member of NIWA? Just wondering. TyphlosionBlaze 00:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Not yet. -- 02:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Mario Fanon
Hey, Steve, can you set up a fanon.mariowiki.com ? I know you say you have Userpedia, but it isn't NIWA material, and it is general Fanon. We need more Fanon wikis, as posted on the Forums Here. I think it is time to start breaking down Fanon spam on Canon wikis. Plus- Don't you agree on finding out what good Fanon lies in the heads of the thousands of users here? I hope you can set up a subdomain for Mario Wiki, and you can just use the staff here there too. Please respond on my talk page soon, 16:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

:(
Whenever you come to your senses, reply...
 * Looks like you don't read your own talk page. -- 00:55, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Again
Hi Its me again. Many comments ago I told you my problem. I think i figured it out. I checked the User rename log and I WAS renamed as you can see here, but somehow it got reset. Do you know how this happened? Thanks. --
 * Maybe I fixed it. -- 00:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Cals

 * Whats up steve? I just wanted to advise you that the MarioWiki calendars are not really linked to anything, and I was wondering maybe we could put a Mario calendar on the main page for the corresponding month (for example, this month its november, we could put up the november calendar), this way more people would know about them, since they havent been edited (excluding my edits) in a long while. Does this sound good to you?
 * We have that on The 'Shroom. -- 01:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You do? Show me the link.
 * The link to the Shroom is in the side bar. -- 03:06, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

We've had the calendars on the main page; they are not going back. -- 03:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Why? They arent really linked to any mainspace, and they need more publicity. Almost nobody knows about them.
 * I don't see the MarioWiki Mario Calendars on the shroom anywhere, i need a link directly to it. And Tucayo, i have common sense, i know how to get to the shroom. LOL.
 * The_'Shroom/XLIII/Pipe_Plaza. If you want to move it, you can't just do it, you'll have to make a proposal. -- 21:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Friend Request
Hey, I was just wondering, do you want to be my friend? :) 19:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. -- 20:07, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay cool! Do you have like a userbox or anything...? 06:04, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. I guess you could make one. -- 06:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, if that's OK! :) 06:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikibound
I just wanted to let you know that Wikibound has join the NIWA. You might want to put them in the NIWA template and add them.
 * I don't manage that template but hey look they are interwiki and Main Page. -- 20:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

One more thing...
Can you make my old pages redirects? I have provide links to all of them. User:Yoshi104, User:Yoshi104/sig

redirected to

User:Its-a-me Yoshi!,User:Its-a-me Yoshi!/sig

Thanks.

-Its-a-me Yoshi! 21:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok -- 22:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey again! I need someone to delete the stuff in the To be deleted category. Mileycyrussoulja 02:08, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

DK Wiki Countdown
Hello Porplemontage, I am The Forgotten Beast, one of the admins of DK wiki (currently using my mariowiki account). I was hoping to ask for your help on a matter, so I left a small message detailing the request on your talk page on DK wiki. I hope you don't mind reading it and thank you again for everything! -FourPaperHeroes 05:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I read all my talk pages; please just leave me a message in one place. -- 07:38, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

My Friend Userbox!!!
Btw, I finally created an official friend userbox, so here it is if u wanna use it:

04:35, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good; I'm not big on the userbox scene right now. -- 11:54, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay :) 22:31, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I need help with everything!
yes Yoshi20thanniversary 23:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you tried installing Linux? -- 00:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Font
Hi Steve! Could you please install the Plum Script font on the wiki? We would like to use it for something related to The 'Shroom. Thanks! -- 02:42, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * One does not install fonts to a wiki. -- 18:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, happy birthday, by the way!! -- 22:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! -- 22:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

According to our editor-in-chief, you simply have to host it on a server in a publicly accessible location.
 * OK, just in case you missed this message because of the one placed below, I'll add a second message to draw your attention back to this one.
 * I don't understand. Does the site visitor not need the font installed? -- 04:59, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As long as it is uploaded into a publicly accessible location, everything should work out fine.
 * Looks like it's publicly accessible on fontspot.com. -- 03:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

It has to be accessible on this website, i.e. something like http://mariowiki.com/plumbfont.ttf would work
 * Here you go: http://www.mariowiki.com/PlumScript.ttf -- 04:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday
Happy 20th, Steve! 06:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! -- 07:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Request
OK, I have a request from Twentytwofiftyseven, he can't access his account and he says that to let him back in, you have to add this ($wgPasswordAttemptThrottle = null;) to localsettings
 * Yeah, he posted about it here as well. 04:59, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I added the setting.. let me know if it fixed what he wanted it to fix. -- 05:55, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems to be working. Thanks. 06:30, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Season's Greetings!

 * Probably won't have time. -- 21:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Userpage
Hi Steve. Could you please visit my userpage, because something there seems to be wrong. Part of the logo on the left is cut off and the taskbar thing on the left is smaller than usual when I view it. This only happens when I visit my page, no matter the computer I use. I'm wondering if it happens to anybody other than me. Could you check it out? I'd appreciate it greatly. 20:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it. -- 21:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. My userpage looks awesome. Keep up the good work (it's ironic that I'm saying that to you; you're the proprietor for crying out loud!)

Userpedia Interwiki Link
Hey Porple, on the interwiki table, could you change the link for the Userpedia prefix to " http://userpedia.adriels.com/wiki/$1 "? 05:55, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. -- 13:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Why?
Why can't blocked users login? - Bill-tendo 7:45 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Because logging in is a privilege. -- 15:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Why?
Why couldn't the Blockedtext just look like this: Your user name or IP address has been blocked.

This block was made by $1.

We're sorry, but our records indicate that your username or IP address is currently banned from accessing the Super Mario Wiki. Check the ban reason above for additional details.

If you're an anonymous user attempting to register a new account on this site, chances are that the Super Mario Wiki administrators have blocked a specified IP address/IP range to target a certain user in question (or a "group" of users) for serious abuse (i.e. constant sockpuppeting, blatant vandalism of articles, etc.). This may also be the result of your IP address being "autoblocked" from creating new accounts for a certain amount of time just to evade the ban.

Note that if you are reading this page, this means that you are not allowed to access this site under any circumstances. However, if you believe this ban was handed out as a result of a misunderstanding, you may contact one of the administrators to discuss your situation and make an appeal.

Hey Steve, what happened to quote of the day?


 * Main page features come and go. -- 04:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Userscore
Hi Steve! Do you think it would be possible for you to install Userscore again? Thanks. -- 17:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
