Template problems

Several templates of the wiki are malfunctioning, for example the character-infobox of Bowser. Can you check the issue? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:55, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Nevermind, it was already fixed. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:52, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Wiki

Just to continue what Blue Koop asked, both of us would like to create a wiki. Do you know how to start a wiki that's ran by scribblewiki? Pal kia 4 7

Looks like you want to be here to sign up for a free wiki. The rest of their plans are here. --Steve (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

How do I edit the wiki logo? ShyGuy27|Talk

I have nothing to do with ScribbleWiki. Here. --Steve (talk) 23:50, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks ShyGuy27|Talk

Xzelion

Could you please promote Xzelion to sysop. Tell him that it was my idea, as an apology for the problems I've caused.-KP Blue 23:43, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

What? He's barely even on the wiki. --Steve (talk) 01:10, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

KP is just trying to win his way back into Userpedia. — Stoo ben Roo ben 18:13, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

No it's not. And He's un-retired, remember?-KP Blue 10:24, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

He's un-un-retired. Get your facts straight before attempting to be a suck-up. --Blitzwing 10:26, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Hey!

How is it going steve? I haven't talk to you in awhile... F g

Going good, Fg. --Steve (talk) 21:44, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

What's up?

Hey Porplemontage, what's up? I haven't talked to you in basically forever. How've you been doing? Do you have Brawl. If you do, what's your Brawl Code? Mine is 2063-1004-9695 -- Aipom --

I'm good, Aipom. I don't play Brawl. --Steve (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

Rudnicki Mario

Hey Steve, do you remember the user named "X06" that got blocked for a million things? He just made a sockpuppet named "Rudnicki Mario". S J derp :P

I remember that. Thanks for the heads up. --Steve (talk) 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

So you are the founder.

This is an awesome opportunity. It's nice to finally meet you :D R.O.B. 128

Likewise, thanks X. --Steve (talk) 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome. --R.O.B 128 06:59, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Bot

Can I please have permission to make a bot for the chat? It would be there to assist operators with functions like quick kick, powerful bans and the like. It would not speak and would not be anoying. If you do it'll be up quite quickly. Thanks a lot, Jdrowlands (talk) 04:08, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

Is that really necessary? Plus we run the risk of the bot enslaving humanity. (no) --Steve (talk) 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

Sad news.

We regret to inform you that the Wiki has reached its peak and is now melting into a crud-bucket. Although you are not to blame, I suggest you pull the plug on this wiki IMMEDIATELY. - SiFi is not a troll.

I don't get it. --Steve (talk) 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

The wiki is becoming a troll hive - SiFi is not a troll.

Uploading Images

Hey, Steve! Me and Garlic Man had a little conversation, and I was wondering, can you upload without things like GIMP? --Palkia47 08:27, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Yes. --Steve (talk) 13:45, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Sweet! Thanks for answering. :) --Palkia47 18:48, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

help

hi porple i have a question where do i go or how do i install a chat on a wiki?

Yoshi64 Please Watch my You Tube Channel [3] 08:38, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

Well we used this extension but it's most likely impossible with ScribbleWiki. --Steve (talk) 17:03, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

HAI

Hai Porple! You're the founder of this wiki? SO AWESOME! I couldn't resist saying hai, cuz this wiki is awesome! Z3r0 Tw0 I used awesome a lot in those sentences....

Hello; glad you're enjoying it. --Steve (talk) 20:03, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

I sure am! Thanks for responding! Z3r0 Tw0

Userpedia

Hai, steve. remember me? Anyway, if you don't mind me asking why don't you join userpedia? Its really fun. It has fan fics and comix. You could even make your own Userpedia. Alot of users would join that. I'm just asking because you made this great wiki, you could also probably make a great fan fic! File:RPGMarioin3D.PNG Clay Mario File:RPGMarioin3D.PNG

I pretty much know Steve's response already, "No thanks" Lol (Toadbert101| |Scream|My comic]|Sez:NO WAI, A SIG WITH OUT {{PAGENAME}}! :O)

I've created an account. --Steve (talk) 16:15, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

Steve + userpedia = MC Hammer Bro. fainting.

If you get the opinion of another user, can I become a back up op on MWiki Chat? Please Steve? MC Hammer Bro. 22:37, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

I don't know your chat performance well-enough. Consult some other ops or drop it. --Steve (talk) 16:35, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Re:help

can you explain it to me because i don't understand wat and where is the Irc thing Yoshi64 Please Watch my You Tube Channel [4]

Our IRC chat channel is accessible through Special:Chat. --Steve (talk) 15:32, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Polls

Just wondering, what happens to the polls that don't get chosen? I mean, I know they won't be used that week, but are they sorta 'on hold' for later weeks? Also, if the answer to that question would be 'no', are we allowed to submit the same poll the next week? -Moonshine

They'll just remain on the page until they're used. If a poll is removed without being used it should not be submitted again. If the number of submitted polls pile up I'll make it daily until we start running low. --Steve (talk) 03:57, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Haha. Alright, thanks. =)- Moonshine

Affiliation

Hello Steve! Glitchman here, and I was just wondering if you would be so kind as to affiliate with my Wiki, the Classic Nintendo Wiki. It's pretty small right now, but it has potential and I figure affiliating with other well-known websites, such as the MW, will boost its popularity. I've already linked to the MW, and I even have an affiliate button, [5]. Glitchman (talk · contribs) 22:52, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, but the answer is no. Not to be unfair, I've finally set a few strict qualifications for sites looking to affiliate. --Steve (talk) 00:58, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Site Notice

You remember when we used to have the site notice at the top of the page, right?(sorry, stupid question) The thing that said stuff like "The new 'Shroom issue is out" and "We now have our own article on Wikipedia" and various other news about the wiki. And, once we got our own server, and we started getting advertisements on the top and the sides, the site notice dissapeared. I felt them to be pretty handy, and maybe they dissapeared because of the ads in the way or something, but; is there any way to get them back? I felt that it would be easier to get news around in the wiki, considering that the Site Notice Banner was there, whereever on the wiki you were. I just thought it could be nice to get those back. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

We've very recently implemented an announcement box on the Main Page which we will use for notices that would have otherwise gone on the Site Notice. It's not on every wiki page, but it's as good as we're going to get. --Steve (talk) 16:39, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Wait... there's an announcement box? Where? Marcelagus (T • C • E)

I said Main Page. It currently reads "Users: We would like some feedback, ranging from general activity to current issues." --Steve (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Oh, that's the announcement box? I thought... it was some random thing. So, what made it so that we used to be able to do it, but not now? What would happen if we did it with the ads in there? Is there a way to eliminate the ads on the top(or do the bottom and side ones interfere, too)? Marcelagus (T • C • E)

Just you know, Crypt Raider (talk) posted some codes on my talk that supposedly could makes the sitenotice appear. However, I'm not sure they really works, especially considering he links to a non-existent page.. --Blitzwing 20:40, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

I don't want the Sitenotice to appear. If I did, it would still be up there. --Steve (talk) 21:22, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Why don't you want it, though? Garlic Man (talk)

Ads go there now. --Steve (talk) 22:20, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

?

thats not wat i meant....i meant to ask can u explain to me how to install chat on a wiki i think it would be esiar if u showed me

Yoshi64 Please Watch my You Tube Channel [6]

I used this. There are plenty of ways and places for you to figure out chat through ScribbleWiki. --Steve (talk) 01:39, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Skin

May I suggest some red in the skin of this wiki? It fits. R.O.B. 128

You may, but I don't want this place to look crazy. You can mess around in your monobook.css and let me know how it looks. --Steve (talk) 17:00, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Ok. Thanks dude :) --R.O.B 128 17:04, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Uhhh... how do I toggle with it? Can you show me? --R.O.B 128 17:07, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

It's for customizing the CSS code of the site. I can't teach you CSS; copy this code to your page and you can remove the parts you don't like or tweak it. I hate how light red turns to pink. Red itself is too dark for a background with text over it and I end up with a pink website. --Steve (talk) 15:52, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. I'll try and make it work; I don't like pink either. --R.O.B 128 22:08, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Irc

Hai its me again ( Yoshi64 Please Watch my You Tube Channel [7] ) can you tell me where i can find my Irc Directory of my website .

I have no clue; there probably isn't one. --Steve (talk) 14:46, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

Unsolicited Feedback

Dear porplemontage, I can no longer contain myself. I need to let you know that I feel your lack of looking things up is quite disgusting. I was shocked, appalled and dismayed. I would propose that you consider asking other people, because if you do not, you may lose some population in the chat. All this may come as news to you, though I can assure you that it has been going on since I asked to be a channel operator, if not sooner. I would have informed you sooner, though I was not in a good mood and may have offended you. If you do manage to make this change, I promise to be a fantastic channel operator, which would surely be better. Thank you for your consideration.

Why I kept quiet:

I thought you already knew.
I hoped it would solve itself.
I expected someone else to mention it.

Why I chose to speak up:

You are otherwise a good person.
This change would improve our lives.
All attempts at subtlety have failed.

I implore you:

Do not take this personally.
Do not ignore this message.
Keep us alerted of our flaws.
Seek help.
Let us never speak of this again.

Who feels this way:

ONLY ME - EVERYONE YOU KNOW - STRANGERS, TOO (_) (_) (O) (_) (_) (_) (_)

Best Wishes, CarbonFiberMan 14:25, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

"Looking things up"? I don't know what that means. The dictionary comes to mind. --Steve (talk) 14:46, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

I can see how you'd see it that way... what I meant was ask unbiased people about me, like mainstreet (DarkMyst IRCer) if I would be a good chanop. Thanks again, CarbonFiberMan 16:33, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

This whole thing is because I won't make you an op? Really? Guess what: we don't have campaigns for channel operators. This type of thing makes you come across as needy and selfish, and can only hurt your standings. No user is entitled to a position of power; the existing ops and I keep an eye out for capable users to promote if we feel more are needed. I've yet to see the chat apocalypse as a result of you being only a normal user (God forbid), but I'll keep an eye out for it. You've certainly made my job easier when it comes to deciding who I might and might not select as an op in the future. Oh yeah, and don't take it personally. Thanks. --Steve (talk) 17:37, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

</pwned> Super-Yoshi ^{Talk? C???}

When the chat apocalypse comes, where will YOU be? -- Chris 07:29, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Recently on Mariowiki

Er, would it be possible to add that template back on the Main Page? It's the only way the 'Shroom can be advertised. --Blitzwing 13:09, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

The announcement box will be used. --Steve (talk) 15:28, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

Spectate

Well There's a problem between User:Birdoshi and User:R.O.B 128 now I think I can handle it on my own but can you just spectate and either help me if things get ugly or aid in my final decision? Please? I wanna end this now. MC Hammer Bro. 19:48, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Okay. --Steve (talk) 20:20, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

It's over....

well I think I handled it pretty well if I say so my self. thank you so much for your help and support. MC Hammer Bro. 21:00, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

You've passed your first test; Well done. --Steve (talk) 21:12, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

I've written a comment on RAP's talk page about what a user named "R.O.B 128" has been doing in the past few hours. Can you check it? I really don't want to have to type it out again. Thanks. S J derp :P

He's broke several rules today. I don't believe his offenses (against Princess Grapes Butterfly, Ursulaboi, me, and others) are acceptable in any way. I know he firmly believes Birdo is female, but I was trying to point out that others' opinions are valid as well. Thanks. — Stoo ben Roo ben 21:16, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

New Me

The angry Robot Stooben is telling you about is no moar. I feel fresh now that I talked about the situation on my friend's proboards.

No more flaming. Now, can you tell me how to make an archive (It's part of the new me :). --☆R.O.B 128☆ 21:37, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

page for deletion

I think page Mario Bros e should be deleted. it was just created and sounds fan made. MC Hammer Bro. 14:55, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

It is something. [8] --Steve (talk) 15:09, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Hay

Hi Steve. Are you intrested in my comic? Yoshikart works at Userpedia full time

Yes. --Steve (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Server

Steve, I think something's up with the server, because not too long ago whenever I tried to get on the wiki, the server would ask for my log in info. S J derp :P

That was me. --Steve (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Rename

Hi Steve...again. Earlier today I put a request for a name change on the User rename page, however, the last 'crat that was online renamed a user's request, but mine seemed to be...ignored (the user who was renamed had their request right before mine). Could you do the rename? S J derp :P

Sure. --Steve (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. S J derp :P

Birdoshi

Hi Porplemontage!!! I'm Birdoshi!!, nice to meet you!!, hey (please) help me,

because.. click here: [[9]], what's wrong?

Try protecting the page first. --Steve (talk) 01:41, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Hi Steve!! mmmm.. I'm not a sysop.. Bird oshi

Well then I would advise you to ask one of them to protect it. --Steve (talk) 21:59, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Sorry

Sorry about calling you numerous times on Chat. --Palkia47 15:04, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

No problem. --Steve (talk) 21:59, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

MediaWiki

Hey, Steve. I was wondering if you could help me with something? I've downloaded MediaWiki on my computer, and now I want to create a site called 'http://www.musicbank.com'. There's one problem: I don't know how to start the site. Do you know how I could activate the aforementioned URL to become my new wiki? Thanks. — Stoo ben Roo ben 20:20, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

musicbank.com is an existing website. Do you own the domain? You would require a domain and webhosting service first. --Steve (talk) 14:53, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Oh, I'll change the name then. Thanks for the heads-up. No, I don't have a domain; I'll get one. Thanks for the help. :) Also, someone has made about fifteen sockpuppets, would you please block them? — Stoo ben Roo ben 15:00, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

I noticed both the Wiki and the Forum crashed at about the same time; do you know what happened? Garlic Man (talk)

Seems to have been a minor hiccup. -- Chris 01:42, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Ohai

Hi? You know what's going on at Userpedia and Scribblewiki? None of Scribblewiki is working.

Thanx

ok acctually i got a site at Wiki site .... and now ineed to ask you where is the Irc directory of my site? (i already installed media wiki onto mine) and can you give me instructions on how to do it (media wiki is too confusing.) Yoshi64 Please Watch my You Tube Channel [12] [[13]] -my site

I downloaded PJIRC from here and created the directory for it. --Steve (talk) 20:04, 1 October 2008 (EDT)

Last Step

As you may or may not know, ScribbleWiki has completely shut down, so all of its wikis are inaccessible. Rather than making a music wiki with the MediaWiki I've downloaded, I've decided to make a new Userpedia. (Many users seem very fond of this idea.) Now, I'm on the very last step of creating Userpedia. I have a domain, server, everything I need. I have only one question.

In the file config.inc, there is a section for me to put my password and my username for the db. Could you please show me where exactly to put the db password and db username so that I can get Userpedia started? Perhaps you could copy over the section of the config.inc file, and bold the section(s) as to where I need to put my db password and db username? I, along with many other Userpedia members, would greatly appreciate your help. — Stoo ben Roo ben 12:14, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

I've never had to touch that file. You can Google for samples of it. --Steve (talk) 20:31, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

~~Really? Thanks.~~ It seems all the walkthroughs I could find online were for older versions that aren't supported anymore, or for foreign editions that the US doesn't get. I must be stupid because I don't understand MediaWiki's instructions. Could you please explain to me exactly how you set up the MarioWiki? If you'd prefer to do this via PM on the forums, that's fine as well. — Stoo ben Roo ben 11:18, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Are you trying to setup the database or the wiki itself? For MediaWiki all you have to do is upload its files and go to the site. There, you enter the information about the wiki and the database and the rest is done automatically. As for creating the database, I used the server's control panel. --Steve (talk) 17:45, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Well, I made it to the form screen. I've filled in my password, username, e-mail, domain, memcache options, and the wiki's name. The only thing that's stopping me from creating it, is when I enter my db username and db password. It says "please check username and password", or "username incorrect". I think once I pass that part, I can upload files into the wiki and actually get it started. — Stoo ben Roo ben 17:56, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, the database info it's requesting is for an existing MySQL database on your server. You'll have to create that before you can do anything else. --Steve (talk) 18:35, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

And how exactly do I do that? — Stoo ben Roo ben 19:07, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Don't know for you. Like I said I use my server's control panel to create databases. --Steve (talk) 22:35, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
