Hmm...
Why do I have the feeling that you're Lorg.... - Falco Punch -- Elements are the essence of life! 01:51, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Mmkay. I think I believe you. - Falco Punch -- Elements are the essence of life! 02:56, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Fiction vs Creature
The fiction namespace can be used for a wide range of pages, if you wanted to write about your empire's history, or its government (or military, technology, or maybe a story, or fiction users can join in on), it sould be under fiction. Creating subpages is good as well, here is an example: Fiction: /Government. The Creature namespace is good for a creature's biology or taxonomy. Other stuff can be written there too, but it is better to make fiction articles rather than large sections on the Creature page about its culture, weapons or whatever you want to write about.

Gallery magic trick
When you write the gallery tag, to show where the gallery ends, on the second tag add this: / to it. This tells the tag that it has ended.

This is what the gallery tag should look like -, not. Wormulon  Talk to me  12:16, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

sub pages
Not hard really, IE if I made a page called Creature:Kangaroo then I made Creature:Kangaroo/Hopping skills then the latter would be a sub page of the former. Just wanted to answer for wormy :)-- 09:21, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Tech! I will say this though, you can create longer subs, such as this page - Fiction:War of Ages/March of the Apocalypse/Descension/Final Battle. You can also create subpages from your user page, however, sub pages are almost never used for the article main namespace. Wormulon  Talk to me  11:04, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

RE:How do I make this
It's a difficult code to actually put on, but well put this code on:  and change the obvious bits (the #679850 stuff is just for the colours, you could write blue instead and it'd be blue). I should really turn it into a template-- 09:08, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Taxonomy question
All you do to join the Taxonomy project is add to your user page. Wormulon  Talk to me  10:35, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, once your in, you can even make taxons and will be able to classify all creatures. Wormulon  Talk to me  10:58, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Family, Genus and Species are part of taxonomic hierarchy. I think examples are the easiest way of explaining them.
 * Family:An example is Canidae, the family of wolves, foxes, jackals etc.
 * Genus:An example is Canis, which includes dogs and wolves (but excludes more distant cousins such as foxes, but come from the same ancestry).
 * Species:An example is Canis lupus, the Grey Wolf (the actual species).

No not at all! You add new genus rank (child taxon) to its relevant Family rank (parent taxon). To create a taxon, simply create the article and then add it to its parent taxon (Family) and then fill it in (its infomation, child species taxons etc). Wormulon  Talk to me  17:26, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

You can only add genus taxons to the family taxon, not species taxon. And to create an entirely new taxon, there is a Create a new page thing you can use on the SporeWiki mainpage. Wormulon  Talk to me  00:53, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Rick rolls
If you made as a joke on someones talk page or or user page, then no, but it would be inappropriate elsewhere, such as a blog or forum, that might be considered spam. The Valader as you can see puts these kinds of jokes on his user page. I would only do that sort of thing with users who like a good joke, or you have known them here a bit more. Wormulon  Talk to me  10:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I would probably only do it once. Wormulon  Talk to me  10:40, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
