Hey could you unprotect some rules pages so I can update them a bit? The first one would be User SpaceSaudy^Talk!

Okay, Saudy. --Steve (talk) 17:32, 4 August 2007 (EDT)

Chat Server

There has also been some clambering in the chat for us to switch servers. Our public relations with the darkmyst staff have plummeted. Also, the options on the irc.mozilla.org server are more varied. They also don't have massive server splits everyday, which darkmyst seems to have a problem with.Saudy^Talk!

Why do we even have relations with the staff? We need to leave them alone. --Steve (talk) 17:32, 4 August 2007 (EDT)

Ok You

What are you gonna do about the banners? They were agreed upon in a proposal. I mean can you honestly say the current banners are good? I know my banners aren't the best design in the world but the current ones are just bad! I don't see how using different art styles and such has any real meaning. It makes it look like someone didn't care what art they had as long as it was easy to throw on there. Anyway aside from our opinions this was agreed upon so shouldn't that mean it has to be put on the front page??? I'm not feeling very fairly dealt with right now. Fixitup

Well,it's not my opinion,but different game styles makes them look unique. WarioLoaf has a way with this kind of stuff.(Toadbert101||Give a yell) 13:03, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

No, it doesn't mean that it has be put on the front page. I'm the self-proclaimed banner decider of the wiki, and that proposal was crossing into my territory. Some of my gripes with your banners: The colors of the background and text are too light. They don't really fit the main page and aren't the easiest to read. The characters sticking out of the top is a nice touch, but creates more white space between the lists than I'm accustomed to. They're nice banners overall, but to call the current ones plain out bad is an opinion of your's, and you've just heard my opinion. Don't take this message as telling you how to fix the banners as if they'll go right up if these problems are taken care of, because I can't guarantee that. It often just comes down to the look and feel of the banner set [1]. Thank you. --Steve (talk) 14:54, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

Interwiki

What can a interwiki do?(Toadbert101||Give a yell) 17:32, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

Simpler links to other wikis. Wikipedia:Mario --Steve (talk) 17:35, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

Alt in Links

As you know, alt text in links isn't default in wikisyntax. However, this would be very helpful for my Main Page redesign, as the description for each link in alt text would save a lot of space for me and make it look less crowded. I only found one extension that allowed HTML links, but it opens vulnerabilites, so it's a no-go. What do you suggest? Am I stuck to delete the descriptions in my design? Is there a way to allow HTML? Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:41, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Those descriptions aren't really needed. They're on the current main page to fill up space. I would say you're good to leave them out. --Steve (talk) 08:09, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

I had an idea for a new smiley. Mrgreen + Eekdance! You'v eprobably seen it on Shrooby's sig. Most of the other users discouraged it,but I wanted to see your opinoin.(Toadbert101||Give a yell) 02:38, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

Steve! Where are you? You're editing but you're not replieing!!!(Toadbert101||Give a yell) 03:54, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

That's because smilies aren't too high on my priority list over here. --Steve (talk) 14:18, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

You mean my GreenDance? Shrooby ^{This at the side>>>}

The so called "GreenDance" looks really bad, its an user made image and a rip off of the eekdance smiley, and it looks choppy. Xzelion^ETC

hey how'd you get the name Prople Montage?

Question

When you said If Fg starts to act up, feel free to block him, does that mean to ban me forever?F g

Yes. Most of the other sysops didn't even want you unbanned in the first place. You're skating on thin ice, kid. --Steve (talk) 13:30, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Proposal

Wayoshi: I'm not Steve, but I don't think that would happen. Max2 (talk)

Cobold pretty much hit this one on the head. You guys can propose to get your opinions out their, but promotions are handled through the Council of Bureaucrats (which currently happens to be only me). The purpose of this proposal is for the Council to view the opinions of the community to see how people are feeling on this one. --Steve (talk) 23:24, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

Changes to Main Skin

Are all those classes you added today going to be used in your design? The Mario1-1 pic seems too wide and not at a low enough opacity. Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:23, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Redirect Problems...

Hi, Steve. I'm sure you'd be able to help me with this. Lately, I've been trying to make a few redirect pages, with the #REDIRECT thing, but when I type it, it comes out as "1. Redirect" instead of the word "Redirect" with the arrow pointing to the redirected page. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Dodoman

You have to show me an example so I can see if the code is right or wrong. It should be:

  #REDIRECT [[Page]]

--Steve (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Oh, I figured it out now. Nevermind, but thanks anyway.

Main Page

Can the new main page be finished, or are you still tweaking it? ^Plumber 21:58, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

??? I'm pretty sure you can move pages over redirects already. Wa _T^C_@^Y 17:30, 1 September 2007 (EDT)

PLUMs tried earlier it didn't work they had to be deleted. Xzelion^ETC

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When you read the description on the move page, the page says it would move it over a redirect:

Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless it is empty or a redirect and has no past edit history.

So it should be possible... in theory. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:35, 1 September 2007 (EDT)

Didn't all those pages have a past edit history though? We should be wary about installing an extension that allows anyone the ability to delete a page, even if it is a redirect page. -- Son of Suns

I'd rather say only if it's a redirect page. We don't want to give trolls more abilities, I guess. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:46, 1 September 2007 (EDT)
