Galaxy Infobox
Hey, Ose, do you think it would be practical to create a Galaxy infobox template? From all of the fiction flying around, I think it would be very useful. 01:15, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dunno, why do you ask me? 01:17, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, you do have certain powers and knowledge concerning the wiki, and you're also an Admin... so I thought to run this idea by you first. If there's anyone you would recommend me to speak to about this issue, I'll drop a post over by them if you want.  If it's something I can do, I guess I'd like to know how to do it first.  13:52, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you want to create something but don't know how, the best method is to try to copy something similar and then modify it. 11:27, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll just go on ahead, then.  19:20, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

A bot
Hi I was wondering could you please send a bot flag request for LDBot? LD, or Light Daxter, is an admin on J&D Wiki, sometimes I have had to use his bot, so could you lease send a bot flag request, so the bot's edits don't clog up the recent changes? thanks.-- 09:53, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhm, do it yourself? 12:16, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * We tried. However Wikia replied that they needed an admin to request it.-- 13:10, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait, do you mean here? 13:38, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yup. He fears when I use it the bot will clog up RC (recent changes) so would like a bot flag-- 13:40, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhm, i'm not so sure about flagging accounts that can be controlled by people I don't know... What are you going to use the bot for anyway? Can't you make your own bot account? 13:47, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

The Bot is essentially mine, but Light Daxter controls it. I've had problems trying to download the AutoWiki Browser (the bot it is) and get it to work properly, I'm afraid. It would be used to move all of the Fiction:Loron sub pages to Creature:Loron sub pages (Normally I wouldn't mind, but Fiction:Loron/Da Propa Big Boss Zr'Ahgloth is one of the most linked to pages on the Wiki as it says in Special:Most linked to pages and what looked at "What links here" and found 157 linking to it)-- 13:54, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would set the bot on without a bot flag, but I'm not sure if you want me to clog your recent changes. So therefore we're asking if we can get you to request a bot flag, just in case. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  14:28, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * When you say "move all of the Fiction:Loron sub pages to Creature:Loron sub pages", do you mean change all the links? All the pages have already been moved to the same namespace. 14:51, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Soz. yes I did mean change the links-- 14:54, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Meh, ok, go ahead, but tell me when you're done. 15:05, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * So we on't need a bot flag? Cos we may need it in future-- 15:08, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * You already have the flag, though I wasn't thinking it would be permanent. 15:12, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Wikis
Ose, how do you edit the appearance of wikis (I have one of my own) like backgrounds and the picture/link to the main page? 07:27, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

And another thing, what's so bad about jpeg files? 07:41, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Read stuff on w:c:help. I what context have I said jpeg files are bad? 11:27, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * When you said on one of our blogs that photoshop is better than MSPaint, you said that MSPaint makes "Horiible jpeg files". 22:30, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Exactly. MSPaint jpegs are bad (in quality). Jpegs are fine in general, for photos and other detailed images. 06:48, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks! 07:11, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * LIquid Ink you go to MediaWiki:Monaco.css to edit the skin but only admins are allowed-- 17:35, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

A Problem
Ose, it's happened again. That little :yes thing has turned up again on the Gatorsapien page, which now has new images and a proper classification. The :yes is under the downloadable Gatorsapien png. Can you remove it without ruining the page? I don't know how to do it. Lucario of the Gods (talk 17:23, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same Here. 17:24, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yada yada. 17:25, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 17:27, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Mine's still not gone! Lucario of the Gods (talk 17:31, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry! It's gone! Lucario of the Gods (talk 17:33, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Blog problem
Hey Ose. When I go to people's lists of blogs, and I click "Older posts", usually the page comes up, but the only thing on it is "1". I'll try to get you a picture of it. Do you have any idea of how to fix it? FalcoPunch-- It's better that thousands die, as long as the species lives on! 19:59, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

FalcoPunch-- It's better that thousands die, as long as the species lives on! 20:03, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ose can't do a thing it's not his site... it's his wiki, but Wikia runs it and the servers etc. Not admins (trust me, i'm an admin on two wikis) Contact Wkia. I know how it works (after looking at the URL :P)-- 20:05, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, if he can't do anything, than nevermind! Pretend like I never posted this I guess. FalcoPunch-- It's better that thousands die, as long as the species lives on! 20:07, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Already reported. 20:09, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Form edit
Hey I was wondering how did you get the form edits have a big free text box? What's the code?-- 18:07, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * . You could just have looked at Form:Creature yourself :P 18:45, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah we did look, just wasn't entirely sure how you got every form that exists to have the same box automatically-- 18:47, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * How do you do that? It didn't actually work properly :O is it some Monaco.css thing?-- 17:21, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dunno, I can check later. 19:03, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Any way of finding it from the site? Do you know if you did it?-- 20:02, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Which form is it you're talking about? There is some CSS used on the creature form but I think it should be applying to the others too. 20:07, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just how we get all our forms have a big text box with 100 % width and how does that work? But the collapsible thing is good too, if you want I could add that to the other forms (I understand that)?-- 20:13, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see wide text boxes. Where do you not? Collapsible is good for the optional kind of parts. If the form isn't too long it's not really neccesary. 20:16, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah I see them everywhere, just the code you've provided above doesn't make the width 100% which to me makes no sense, also, that happens to work on every create form and i don't get how you do that, could you do us a favor and tell us or do you not know?-- 20:19, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok so it was done with the Common.css, how did you give it the formtable class? We couldn't find it (t's for J&D)-- 16:39, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Infoboxes & categories
Ok so I'd like to change my infobox (put a "Creator" on rather than game) but that's a special field, can you do that? Also, we should change the Faction template to use the Infobox meta template. Another thing, could we have a category for Fictional characters and have the default form edit to be the Character infobox?

Another thing, could I add my own categories? Just to make things easier for me when adding navbox emplates.-- 08:03, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes you can and yes I will take a look later. 19:03, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've done it, but there's a problem- when the characters are created in the Creature namespace then the default forms clash. All it says is "Warning- this page has two default forms" and doesn't let you choose which one :O-- 16:12, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok so I've got a code: turns out put that in to pages with 2 default forms and you're fine-- 16:46, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok we're going to need another way to hide it when you do find one cna you get your bot to use that code to pages with that? (The doesn't work)-- 16:58, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhm, put it in the template? 18:59, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, same way as you put categories in templates, am I right?-- 19:05, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, or else you will make the template have the form too. 19:06, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Stuff is a bit broken
Ok so the "Creator" tab in Creature infobox and others only shows up Creatures and Taxonomy doesn't show fiction, which it should, cause some things (IE Ayrai'Shikua, Taldar) aren't creatures. How do I fix that or can you?-- 19:39, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * If someone puts their creation in the wrong namespace then that isn't my problem. 21:14, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * well, I mean for example: The Ayrai'Shikua. Those are demons created with the Creature editor, thus, not creatures. Also, when you look up "Look for more by this user" then only creatures will come up, why is this?-- 16:57, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * The template itself is made so that the "show more content..." link take you to a list of articles under the namespace of "Creature:" and made by the creator, the other creatures of Xhodocto are under the right namespace, so the Ayrai'Shikua appears as a lonely article in the list, hope I'm right ~ talk) VofValar 17:29, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's the Taldar & Traffphyds... hmm.... guess I could make a Creature page for them and call it their physical info. Also, show more contetn thing... well since that's used for infoboxes like the Vehicle Infobox is should show more than just creatures, really.-- 17:34, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Or you could move the creatures that are named as Fiction to the creatures namespace, I don't know why Xhodocto decided to name the Ayrai-Shikua as fiction, Even if they are used for fiction purposes, I think all creatures of spore should be named like that, the Krass are used for fiction, yet are named under the namespace of "Creature:" ~ talk) VofValar 17:42, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * They're demons, not creatures. Taldar are not creatures either, so they shouldn't be in that namespace. I guess, I could make a taldar creature. Also, there are many forms of taldar... And will be of Traffphyds, so please don't move them-- 17:44, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Ayrai Shikua are demons in fiction, but for newly comers are just creatures with a well written story, as for the Taldar, if you don't want to move it, do as you say, make a page with creature attributes. ~ talk) VofValar 17:52, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good idea.-- 17:57, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * If it's created in the creature editor, it belongs in the creature namespace. 18:36, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion
Hey Ose, do you think you could delete the taxon page Taxon:Ossodurusii for me? It was a mistake I made when I was in a rush, and it is not the real taxon that I indended to make. Thanks,

"Create New Article" problem
Hey Ose, it's FalcoPunch. A long time ago, the "Create New Article" button on SporeWiki disappeared. I don't know if you can do anything about it, but if you can, can you help? If you can't, then nevermind. Here's a picture of the menu thing under the search bar:


 * It's not "dissapeared", probs Ose removed it cos we have that on the main page. heck look at J&D Wiki or Fallout Wioki, they removed it cos they have something way better but it's unnecessary really.-- 20:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh. Is it gone for you too? [[Image:Syl.png|25px]]FalcoPunch-- It's better that thousands die, as long as the species lives on! 20:37, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's gone unless you change the skin. 20:40, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah disabled in the Monaco.css which is ok but on my wiki there's something ten times better look for jakanddaxter.wikia.com

Creature Database Cut Off Point & Taxon Revamping Issue
Is there a way of extending the amount of creatures shown on the Creature Database? I just realize that before my purging of the page, the last creature on the page was the Telosian. Now it is the Sporeisour. Is there a way to fix this? I suppose it could be my computer, but I doubt it since it can load the somewhere between 500 and a thousand images that I have up on my Alien Species Gallery pet project.

Also, in an attempt to "revamp" the taxon pages for arthropods so I can add my Aydanes up there (because they lack the "create a taxon" bar and Aydanes don't fit into any current taxon), the pages seem to enjoy screwing up now; Taxon:Tetronychidae and its parent page, Taxon:Cephalothoraxidae both have a "]]" following their name, which I can only assume is why Tetronychidae, while revamped, is not showing up under Cephalothoraxidae. Another possible reason is because I have yet to add the bar to Cephalothoraxidae's own parent page, Taxon:Pseudocrustacea. I have it all ready to be saved, but after noticing that I stopped editing them, just in case. It is a strange glitch. Should I continue or back off and hope someone else fixes those pages..? -- Somarinoa 17:11, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * The first i'm not sure about. It might be some internal SMW limit (I can investigate further another time). I think the other problem resolved itself after purging/editing the pages. 22:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi,Ose The Jerkface and His Noob Friends
Why did you want to delete the Necrox? I still don't like you.


 * Ose is doing his job and knows to make good decisions. And don't go sending messages like this. Sorry if I am no part of this, Ose. Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:25, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because it was an empty taxon. We delete all empty taxons. Also it seemed to be a quite un-serious page (where the image should have gone it said "NO U"). 16:44, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Im going to do this!RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Fiction
Why did you move my fiction?-M480 21:45, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because you're supposed to be subpaging related content and fiction. 21:46, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why did you put my fiction under the creature namespace?-M480 21:48, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * The namespace doesn't matter on subpages. Think of it as "Calaan"-related fiction under the Calaan. 21:50, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't want Caalan fiction under Creature:Caalan and I don't know how to move it back.


 * It's not a question of what you want, but how it's supposed to be. If a fiction is based around Spore content, it should be on the content page or a subpage. The fiction namespace is only supposed to be for cross-content things like alliances and whatnot. 21:55, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Emailing problem.
Hello Ose, usually when a page I am following is editted I will receive an email, however lately I am getting none. Also when I discovered the problem I changed by email account and I am still not getting any, do you know what is going on?- 16:00 25 June 2010 UTC


 * No. You should ask Wikia. Also your sig is too long. 16:39, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox meta template
Hi Ose I was wondering, you know in the Creature infobox, how you got image code to not need the whole and just need Blah.png in the Creature infobox? Well, i was wondering, could you make that a template as an infobox component? That, and the Creator thing from the infobox? Just would make them a lot easier to add. Thanks.-- 15:50, June 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. 16:51, June 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there a list of templates/category for templates somewere so i can see them? and thanks. Just they're not on the creature infobox template so i'm unsure what they're called-- 12:25, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Special:PrefixIndex/Template: perhaps? 12:29, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Template:Imagelink & Template:Creations, yes? If yes, I'll add them to all the infoboxes-- 12:33, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * What do you mean? Anyway, image linking should be done with .  12:46, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * You know the code in the creature infobox you just have to write Blah.png instead of [[File:Blah.png]] for the infobox (not page)? There should be a template, as an infobox component template, so we don't have to copy the code to evetry infobox. Same with the Creator collumn. Do they exist?-- 12:49, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, right. Do this to all of them and it should work. 13:03, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Do you know how the vehicle infobox can be fixed? I looked and I don't see how.-- 16:05, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

User Rights
I've recieved an email about a change in my User Rights. Care to explain, Ose? Xho 17:52, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah same, I recieved one saying I have roll back rights. On J&D they told me before on my talk page (and on MSN) but, could you explain please about mine?-- 17:56, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Huh. I got nothing on mine. Probably something bad... DmrchXh.png Xho  18:01, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I doubt it, they never say "You have rollback rights" blah blah blah, they simply say "User rights have been changed for _____". iF tha's what yours says, it's not bad. Check a history page if it says next to "Undo" "Rollback" you've been given something good.-- 18:08, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, nothing. Ose, please explain because it is puzzling me. DmrchXh.png Xho  18:11, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * As an admin on 2 wikis and rollbck user on 1, I can assure you nothing could have happened bad. "Rollback" is like undo in that roll back undoes multiple edits from the same user. A vandalism stopper. I'd like Ose to explain fully tho. If if lets you "rollback" multiple edits from one user (the latest edit only) then you're fine, either that, or admin powers. In which case go on SporeWiki:Requests for Adminship... I could be a wiki glitch. I can assure you, you're fine.-- 18:14, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
