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)

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)

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,
