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)

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


 * How is it broken? 21:09, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just that it's not like the Creature infobox (or at least wa\sn't when i looked at it) and the png stuff doesn't work like how creature infobox does-- 16:27, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, you want to be able to use both normal images and downloadable pngs in the same box? 16:32, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Really just how the Creature one works- if I put in downloadable it will show downloadable, if I put up image it will show the image and the downloadable one will beat the bottom, so yeah (or was that confusing?) That, and it just doesn't look like other infoboxes do.-- 16:36, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Like now? 16:51, June 28, 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)

Oh wait...I have rollback rights. Thank you. Xho 18:26, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

You could just have checked Ose's contributions, but whatever it seems your problem is solved. ~ talk) VofValar 15:50, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Moving Categories
I noticed the move button on category pages doesn't appear, why is this so? 16:56, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because categories can't be moved. You need to change the  part of every page in the category to something else, then create the new category page.  16:58, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks!  17:00, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

A page I made needs deleting...
So, I went to go upload an image of my creature, but it turns out I uploaded the wrong picture! I tried to change the picture, but it said the file was corrupt. I made a new image page and uploaded the correct image, but now I need this page deleted.

Thanks,

Creating a New Wiki
Ose, since you are an Admin, can you help me? I am thinking of making a new wiki about my own fiction and charactes, just wondering if that is aloud since it isn't official. Is that okay? Lucario of the Gods (talk 15:36, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, it is possible, its non-canon fiction ~ talk) VofValar 15:50, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * But the fiction I want to make a wiki about is not actually existent. That is the problem. Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:37, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Isn't that the definition of fiction? 17:04, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Lets say that I create a large fiction called Argentix Fanon, an idea nobody has had and I wanna create a wiki about it, but it isn't heard of by anybody. Would that be aloud? Lucario of the Gods (talk 17:20, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ose, since you're great at media wiki coding, can I ask where/how did you learn to get good at it? Any link you can show me to help me out, at all?-- 10:52, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uh... Try mediawiki.org. 10:55, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Mediawiki Taxon
My wiki needs taxon like on this wiki. Wormy said that we need a mediawiki extension, but we do not know how. -


 * Go to Special:contact and tell them that you want Semantic MediaWiki on your wiki. 07:47, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Two Questions
Two questions Ose, how do we make a forum on Spore Wiki and can you acually make a forum on Spore Wiki?  Benjamin XI  19:37, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Um... Ose? Why did you write "tiny bit smaller plz" on my Signature page? Seventh_Column_2.jpg  BNSCLeader  20:55, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because it was too tall? 21:10, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * But why did you use "plz" at the end? Seventh_Column_2.jpg  BNSCLeader  21:17, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhm... dunno... 21:20, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, nevermind.Seventh_Column_2.jpg  BNSCLeader  21:28, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Mediawiki
Can you set up my Semantic Mediawiki on my User Page on Spore Create?


 * Nope, you have to ask Wikia to do it. 22:33, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Delete again
Can you delete this page? It doesn't follow the namespace guidelines. The content is on Creature:Snaicarn/Shellai, but this page remains. Maxi6 ( Speaketh! ) 00:38, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

I'm stuck
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here, Creatureboy11 asked me to set up a taxonomy project for his fictional wiki. I've set up some of it, but I'm stuck and I don't know how to get rid of this:



Is there a property or template that I've not created yet that needs doing? 10:14, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * You need the ArrayExtension enabled. 11:21, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, how do I get it, do I import the extension or request it? Wormul.png Wormulon   Talk to me  11:29, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * All extensions need to be requested. 11:30, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again! 11:31, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yo, if its one box per page, then how come the Kazalori have three boxes? Lucario of the Gods (talk 20:16, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, don't worry. Just checked the page. Lucario of the Gods (talk 20:18, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
I saw you on the shout box. Listen, I have my own wiki but somebody is working on it. I can be your "apprentice" for a while. I normally work on my fiction, but I can help the mainspace.


 * Ok you do that. Also it's not "your" wiki. 21:02, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I meant I made it. Sorry. Anything I can improve on? Reply on my talk page, so I know when I have an assignment.

I got some dead-end pages linked. I'll be on Spore Create.

Notice
Now do you set up a notice on a wiki. I need one for Spore Create.

Flora infobox
Template:Infobox flora is kinda broken.... can you tell me where I went wrong please?-- 10:40, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed I think. 10:51, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hold on I'll fix-- 10:59, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * Ok, i've created a Flora form and I added something to the Flora infobox, please add the flora form in template & fix what i added (I added it at the bottom of the template)-- 11:31, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Another thing, please fix the Flora form?-- 11:46, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * So then, Flora Form, Flora infobox & Plantae taxon need fixing, sorry but I can't see how.-- 11:55, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nearly everything works now. Only problem I have is getting the Flora category in Infobox: Flora?-- 12:52, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

About the taxon
Hi, the Taxon is not working, stuff isn't showing up on taxon pages. I think it doesn't track the mainspace?-- 15:50, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * Uhm... example? 16:08, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry! Sorted it! Sorry! Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Stored Revision

Wackyy
Ose, Wackyy claims that he'll be unblocked on the 9th, because you reblocked him til then. Is that so? Maxi6 ( Speaketh! ) 13:19, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting a page
I was going through the Random article link in order to find articles eligible for the Image template, and I stumbled across this page, which you had apparently moved to the creator's user page as a subpage, but it somehow still exists as User content: Alretian honor guard. So could you delete that page? It's apparent that it's been abandoned, and the other page in the creator's user page has more content in it. | The Randomness | Talk | Blog 14:36, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that, also, the Dakertor page needs to be deleted, as it had nothing on it before I had added the delete template. Salsethe.png | The Randomness | Talk | Blog 18:09, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Broken Taxons!
My taxon Asuctaped is always broken, and can never find a rank on Mandibulia. But my other taxon, Maddas, is the child of Asuctaped and now that's broken too! HELP! Zinc 7 16:52, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * For some reason, the rank now seems to be neccisary again? I'm trying to help with Plantae, but its keep throwing up an error. As an example, on Coniferophyta, it says : Error, could not find rank on parent taxon Magnoliophyta. I'll add this to the classification forum as well, just though that the general community needed to know as well :-/ Robotnick2 11:56, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm. It's fixed again now. That's a good thing :-D Robotnick2 10:55, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Sporistics template
I've created a template like your sporepedia template, the Sporistics, can we use that in the creature infobox?-- 19:53, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

My code
http://spore.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_creature&action=history If you look there at my edits, I tried to get my Sporistics template appear the same way that "more content by this person) appears in creator, I failed and rollbacked my edits, could you do it after your vacation please?-- 13:54, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

New admins
It seems recently, there has been general inactiveness in the older (wikiwise) user group. OluapPlayer as you know can't edit much due to the bug he is experiencing until he can solve it at least, TimeMaster isn't on much, same for Morgoth, and your Laptop has died. In September, I will be going to course work and while I will still be active, I will not get on quite much as I do now. I think there are several users that would make good administrators, such as The Valader. What do you think? Wormulon  Talk to me  23:30, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could I be an admin please, I really want to help out and I am an admin on 2 wikis already-- 11:34, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wormulon has also recommended both myself and The Valader for the job, assuming of course that there is a job to be occupied.

RE:namespace
Its title is Operation:Tuuros. I was just about to try to move it to the Fiction namespace, but you beat me to it.

"Upload a new version of this file" appears to be malfunctioning.
As you can see on Mind Erase, and the image associated with Template:Disambig, when you attempt to replace an image using the "Upload a new version of this file" form, it doesn't appear to work properly, and instead displays a sometimes stretched version of the file. I'm honestly not sure how to fix this, as I've attempted to revert the images to a previous version, but that doesn't work either. The Randomness | Talk | Blog 18:02, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikia's image servers are being weird. Just wait for them to fix it. 18:18, September 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. I can do that. The Randomness | Talk | Blog 19:25, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Gallery's
Hey Ose, I had a question. Something seems odd with the Gallery's to me. I have been trying to figure it out with the new options but whetever I do, all the images keep showing up under eachother and not next to eachother. Do you have a solution to this? A page this is happening to is for example A future Story.

Are you on IRC, i wanna talk to you-- 18:01, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Stuck with an infobox
I've created an infobox for empires on the wiki (here). The template itself is fine, and is not broken, however, when I try to add it to my empire's page, the template shows without giving me the ability to edit its parameters (it just gives me a copy of the template's page). What have I left out? Wormulon  Talk to me  13:49, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * You've left out quite a bit, I'll add it in-- 14:22, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed for ya, but, maybe we use the meta template?-- 14:36, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

What the...
Why is this busted, any clue? Please fix?-- 12:12, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well would you look at that, one unfinished link and its all broken (I fixed it) sorry to bother you, oh and if theres any work to mainspace please say and I'll do it in 2 weeks ish? I want to make mainspace infoboxes for a start-- 12:31, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Category
Can you get your bot to change Category:Empire to Category:Empires please, sorry just I dont have a bot-- 12:49, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Create page stuff
Hi Ose I was just thinking with our create page stuff si there some property we can add to the forms, to differentiate between Content forms & Fiction forms? Perhaps we could do something like this? BTW I'd like to add some Mainspace infoboxes & there forms. OH and 3 more things: So yeah lol you dont have to reply to those 3 other things if you dont want to :P-- 18:58, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) If I messaged you on another wiki asking for help would you be able to help there lol
 * 2) Randomness said he was getting the images when he does shall we add them to the Infobox captain? Cos with that infobox one thing I'm not sure is how to get it to work, I'd like to set it so if I wrote |attack1=Toxic then the image of the toxic blade would appear but if I did |attack1=Electric then the electric blade image would appear (those are examples not actual weapons)
 * 3) About this MSN well you say its open for everyone so its better, thing is tho it could be 2 people or you could make 5 people talk (I've done this before with 4 of the sporewiki users) and IRC being open has lately been BAD, loads of spamming & immature behavior and not enough admins in the channel :O which is why i'd rather we use MSN the 4 who have so far it's been great

Skin is busted
For some odd reason, the default skin has completely broken for me, and I have no idea why. It may just be a browser specific issue, as I use Mozilla Firefox and it appears to display properly in Internet Explorer. I'm honestly not sure what else to say. The Randomness | Talk | Blog 14:41, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, the issue appears to have resolved itself. The Randomness | Talk | Blog 22:53, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox captain
Ok so I know the code to do what I wanted to do with it :P as soon as I get pictures for the icons I'll do it myself XD although perhaps you could fix it if I mess up?-- 19:25, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Navbox recommendation
Hi there, you know our navbox code? I've found a better one: This code can do a bit more, such as:
 * Nested- basically a navbox in a navbox, like what I did here
 * Also there you can see the collumns stuff :P

I wonder if we could use this code, or add the stuff to our code? Also use the parser function?-- 18:39, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you please try and get nested stuff etc to work, and try and use the arraymap parser function?-- 21:07, October 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You should poke morgoth, he's the navbox guy. 19:03, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok will do :3 I did some stuff in my sandbox that i'll show him-- 19:06, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Criticism on the Oasis skin (new wikia look)
I was taking a look at the new skin, and there are a few things that I think should be changed. I'll add more as I find more while exploring the new skin. 22:33, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * First off, the background color for the main part of the pages should be changed to #000000 or a dark teal color. Same thing goes with the gradients and a bunch of other stuff.
 * Along with that color change, the default text color would also have to be changed to something like #FFFFFF or something similar.
 * Also, this image will have to be made so then it's teal, not blue, I supply a replacement if you wish or are too lazy to do so at the moment.
 * If you can change it, make it so then avatars do accept transparency, and they don't show up poorly resized on user pages.


 * Uh, where is that gif used? 15:33, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears to be used for any divs marked as " div class="striped" " from the looks of it. Also, may I inquire as to why you changed the background color for the page part of the site to #FFFFFF? 21:09, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for being so absent lately. I didn't really like the blueberry yogurt-ish bg, so I made it #FFF for now. Making a dark skin will take a little longer. If you want to you can supply the image, if not I will do it some time next week I think. 19:03, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * How's this for the replacement background image for those divs? [[File:Background1.gif]] Also, seeing how there are a large amount of gradients for Oasis, will you need any help with any of those? 20:59, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Amphibia and Unguisia
Hi Ose. For some reason, Amphibia insists on having three links to Unguisia, and retains two red-links of it when I delete Unguisia. Could you force Amphibia to remove the extra Unguisias? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 18:27, October 17, 2010 (UTC) & 00:29, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Metabot
what did you Edit about the Metabot?Tobiaswolf 16:46, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can look in the history page and compare selected revisions to find out, tho he likely just did a fixup or cleanup :3-- 20:04, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Collumns in infoboxes
so Ose ho about we make it so you can add collumns to the infobox, as in, make a table inside the bo? something like this? I'm kinda thinking of doing that for some potential mainspace infoboxes-- 13:19, November 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just use a html table as the data parameter. 15:13, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I get it but, wouldn't it be better to, well, not hve to put in a whole code? soz if I'm sounding lazy-- 18:21, November 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * meh. 18:24, November 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * XD wonder if I could test around to make a collumns code or something? BTw soz that I'm not on IRC I cant access it :S-- 18:28, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Naucean
Good idea but 2 things:
 * 1) What if I search for Content:Naucean by accident
 * 2) why not in fiction or creature namespace?

Just wondering-- 18:20, November 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Just search for Naucean.
 * 2) The fiction namespace is for fiction, the creature namespace is for creatures that have been created in Spore. A concept is neither. 18:23, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

-- 18:25, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Makes sense :P Didn't know that worked lol
 * 2) If it's a concept that doesnt make it fiction? Ok....

Alignment
I've added Alignment part into a Character template. Can't you add it to form as well? It is kinda like in creature section. I've added it 'cause alignment bar is mostly for individuals, what is in creature section is mere statistics. (You were on WoWWiki right? You've seen that both race and individual templates has alignment part) - Emperor Imperios 16:55, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Captain infobox help
Ok I'm stuck.

Can you please look at this? I don't know if I did it right. Baically what I want it to do is taht if you tell it the weapon in attack 1 is lightning strike then it adds the lightning strike image, if you say it's poison blade you add the posionblade image (as per Equip. However, two things I'm stuck on:
 * 1) How to change the label as well?
 * 2) How do I add a link on the image to the weapon?

Can you please do this, I'm really stuck :(-- 20:56, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * You wanted them to appear as minor edits, right?-- Um2k9  This has happened before...  22:56, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, not appear at all. That's what bots are meant to do, except this wasnt given the flag (so isn't recognised as a bot)-- 22:58, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Where you even given permission to use a bot?-- Um2k9  This has happened before...  22:59, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * It was flagged ages ago, but the flag got taken off-- 23:01, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I just couldn't really understand the syntax you used, could you tell me what you mean by Flagged?-- Um2k9  This has happened before...  23:12, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uhhh wki terms and all... but basically it's a thing that buracrats add so the wiki realises it's a bot and not ome very fast user. Basically stops it's edits from appearing in recent changes & history-- 17:02, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Taxon Fix Up
Since you're really good at fixing up articles, I was wondering if you could look at the taxon classification for Creature:Volbel and Creature:Sticonian sometime if you can get to it, please? Thank you. JlarpJlarp 23:48, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * That seems to be a wiki-wide problem, apparently it is a server error, and there is nothing we can do to reverse it.-- Um2k9  This has happened before...  16:58, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so axon's fixed, while it still looks weird on some pages, all that needs to be done is edit- make no changes- and save. Perhaps your bot could do that? to all pages that have the flora or creature infobox?-- 12:12, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox creature for spore/darkspore?
Ok so when darkspore is released, creatures are gonna have different ability sets right? Well I've been working on a way to keep that to just one infobox, for pure easiness & making form edits easier. So I came up with User:Technobliterator/Creature (had help from Fandyllic). If you look at the result, Creature:Loron, it... could be improved. So, well, what would you do?-- 21:26, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
