User talk:Brandon Rhea/Archive 30

Question
You know Brandon, with all the work you put into The Chosen One, do you ever plan to write an original novel? Don't get me wrong, your work in Star Wars is amazing, but it's something you could never make money on. Do you ever plan to break free from fandom and set off on making your own sci-fi or other genre?-- Josh Bender щ(ﾟДﾟщ) 18:29, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Possibly. My interest level in being a professional writer isn't all that high right now, nor has it ever really been, but if I do ever decide to pursue that then I have a number of ideas for stories. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  18:45, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

CS: Mika Anaki
Didn't your vote here complete the VtR, so shouldn't the nomination be taken down and archived? Thanks  Savage  1138  19:53, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are 8 Seers, and it takes a majority vote. One other Seer has to vote. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  20:04, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah. I recall it only needing a total of four in the past, but what you're saying makes more sense.  Savage  1138  20:06, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It may have only needed 4 votes in the past. It depends on how many Seers there are. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  20:09, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. I just wouldn't have been thinking that that was half of the Seers. I assumed it was set at four. Thanks  Savage  1138  20:11, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Vectorized article icons
Hey Brandon! I decided to do vector versions of our faithful but aging status markers, File:LinkGA-check.png and File:LinkFA-star.png. I would like to hear your opinion about them, particularly about the gradients. Here they are:

Cheers!


 * I think they look good. I would ask Squishy Vic too, since he's always basically been the era icons guy and, from a technical feedback standpoint, he could give you a much better response than my typical "good stuff" routine. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  04:50, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Official blog
There appears to be something wrong with template:Official blog. I recall it looking differently in the past, and I don't think it should have the and sitting there. Thanks  Savage  1138  19:36, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, but it's showing up fine on the main page so it's not really an issue. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  04:48, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It wasn't fine on the main page when I asked, but something has obviously been fixed. Seeing as it is now fine on the main page, I agree that it is no longer an issue. Thanks  Savage  1138  14:17, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Purged the template page, looks okay now. 14:26, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Bot request
I forget who owns Weegee, but either way, going through you might still be quicker. Anywho, I have a bot request. Basically, replace JDstub with, and Dstub with  , and then JDstub and Dstub deleted once the changes are made. I've been replacing the templates when I catch them while random paging. The templates are really quite useless and just say "I'm too lazy to fix my own spelling and grammar, so I'll make the other users do it for me." :| And since we're trying to lose that "This article is mine, you no touch!" attitude, then losing those templates will certainly help.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:10, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Just noting that perhaps AWB can do the trick if the vote results in the use of Stubby. 19:46, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do we need to get rid of those, though? To me they seem like nothing more than customized versions of stubby. They don't seem to suggest a "don't touch this" or "correct it for me" attitude, IMO, but rather they just say who the author is (as stubby does) and says people can edit it per the editing policy. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  10:50, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Trak on this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but ownership templates are not allowed, and IMHO the modified stubbies do look rather like a stamp of article ownership. Something like a custom-made infobox (as NKSCF uses on his stuff) is perfectly kosher, but Drewton's and Ducato's custom stubs are another matter. Again, this is IMHO. 10:56, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * What's the difference between JDstub and ? They both end up saying more or less the same thing. - Brandon Rhea  (talk)  10:58, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * The difference is in the template itself; one is a common template meant to be used by all, the other is an extra-special "hi, this is my page, it's tiny now but it may get bigger -- oh, and please do my work for me" template custom made by users who, as a matter of fact, no longer edit here. So basically, those stubbies are never going to grow. BTW, why do you respond to messages on your talk page as well as on the other user's page? It's just a teensy bit pretentious...  14:01, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * To answer the last point first, I generally answer questions on my talk page on other wikis, just because it's easier to do it that way and because it keeps the conversation in one place. Since I'm an admin here, though, I've always responded on other people's talk pages since that gives them the new messages update. I've just decided to do both now. That said, since there isn't really a clear basis for this in policy (it's not really an ownership template in the sense that the old ones were, and it has similarities to Stubby), I think a VfD would be warranted so we can figure this out for going forward. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  14:55, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, okay that makes sense. In regards to the VfD, that also makes sense. 00:47, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Lateness
I'm so sorry about being extremely late on responding to your message about the admin voting, Brandon. I literally just saw your message to me today. I know I'm not here often, but I do like to think I'm around to help important matters like this most of the time. I'll make sure to be more attentive in the future.

Corellia
Hey, Darth Deon incorrectly moved Corellia to Corellia (disambiguation). I was wondering if you could revert that. - I'm the Chosen One  05:01, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done, although unless you've made enough page moves today for it to prevent you from moving more then you have the ability to do that too. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  05:23, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

I am aware that I could move it, but I thought you may have had the ability to stop the redirect, whereas I have no power to do so. Anyway, thanks.- I'm the Chosen One  05:28, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox CSS
This coding: " " would correspond to its MediaWiki:.css page right? Say I labeled a .css page as "Infobox.css", would it work in the infobox coding if I do this:  ?- I'm the Chosen One  17:40, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Where are you seeing ? I don't think that's a magic word. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  18:07, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Here is a of it.- I'm the Chosen One  18:12, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * What's the link to the infobox? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  19:09, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Well that thing is included in the infoboxes here, but here is the link.- I'm the Chosen One  20:20, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's definitely not a magic word or parser function, so infobox.css won't do anything. What is it that you're trying to accomplish? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  20:30, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was able to format the infoboxes using inline CSS, but I don't want to do that individually for all the infobox template pages. I would put it in the Common.css (which I copied from here), but I am not sure how to do that exactly right. I am basically looking to do an external style CSS that formats all the infoboxes simultaneously through a link or some such (which is how Common.css functions obviously). It would also declutter the infoboxes.- I'm the Chosen One  20:42, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. I asked DaNASCAT too and he also wasn't sure. You could try asking on the Community Central Forum and see if anyone there knows. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  20:49, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Okay. Also, two last questions: What is the value to make the image flush with the infobox? Mine has a slight border around the picture. In addition, how do you adjust the cell height for the infobox? Mine is pretty tall and leaves a lot of white space between entries. Example of both problems located here.- I'm the Chosen One  20:53, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, those subsequent questions have been addressed as well. Thanks for the help and the link.- I'm the Chosen One  22:00, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

CheckUser request
Could you perhaps run a CheckUser on these two people? I have a sneaking suspicion that I'd like to shed some light on. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:29, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's 1 match. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  06:30, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I had a feeling that was the case. Which one was created first?  I'll drop a message on that one's page regarding the other account.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:33, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mtxtrevin was created first, but MtxDevin has been the primary account here on SWFanon so it would probably be best to treat that one as such. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  06:35, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Commencing interrogation...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:38, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Got another request. Can you check this user with this one and this one? I have a sneaking suspicion again...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:24, October 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's no exact match, but the IPs are similar. I can't say yes or no for certain. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  05:26, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hm. Well, the third one was a sock of the second one, but the first one's relation to the other two has me a bit stumped.  What raised my alarm was the first user's edit to an article by the second user (that was edited by his sock after he was blocked for some reason).  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:31, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually... just how similar are the IPs? If it is a variation of just one number, then they may still be the same.  Some residential IPs will vary like that as the provider doesn't use static IPs.  I know my brother's connection is like that; it mutates almost daily.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:35, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Due to some confusion, I have another CheckUser request. This one and this one.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:40, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay. There's no match. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  08:08, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:10, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Got another one, though it's simply a hunch. This user and this one. Just wanting to cover all my bases.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:08, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

And, a check on this one. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:21, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Do You Know of Any Artists?
Hi, I I'm going to create my own species for a desert planet but am not much of a drawer. Do you know any artists that are active on this wiki that could help me out? --MtxDevin (Talk) 03:33, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * You could ask Trak Nar, but she's been quite busy lately. Other options could be Solus or perhaps Squishy Vic. 12:32, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

UnlimitedPower and Powerstaark
I know I'm not an admin and it isn't really my place to do anything about it, but it looks to me like User:UnlimitedPower might be a sockpuppet of User:Powerstaark, as UnlimitedPower has edited a lot of Powerstaark's pages. Thanks  Savage  1138  19:36, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Brandon I was wondering if you could give me any feedback etc on how to may my articles more appealing and improved. Cheers

B'Rhea in the new novel
Hi, Brandon. I hope you're doing well. If you are interested, I've put a spoiler up on a couple of pages regarding everyone's favorite despot from Eriadu. If you read chapter two of the new novel, which I've put up as a bit of a tease to those who might actually care, you'll see he's mentioned in an interesting way. Anyway, cheers to you.

Deletion
Hey that goodwood guy deleted the article United Warlords Of The Four Empires, maybe he doesn't care about it and I realise it doesn't meet guidelines so could yo undo the deletion and tell me about the policies. I hope you are more reasonable.

Thank you


 * Hi. Because Goodwood is the one who deleted your article, he's the one you would need to talk to about restoring it. If he says no, then that's his decision to make.


 * As for our policies, you can read them here, with the central article policy being the Manual of Style. If there are specific things within those policies that you need help with, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to help. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  00:47, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Cool, Thanks I'll try but I have an idea and I'm wandering if its legal so I'd like to know. I was wandering if I could copy and paste code from the star wars fanon wiki infobox templates, the government one and paste it to my site. Is that okay, I won't do it if not. Also if it is can I do that with the others- Dark Lord Of The Sith Alex

Critics Lounge
I tried to get a review at the critics lounge, but after several days, no one has responded. It didn't even appear on the main page of the CL. Whats going on?

 * Hi. The wrong header was used, and it looks like it's incorrectly used through no fault of our own but rather because of the standard template that's used when creating a new CL topic. I've fixed this on yours and I'll be fixing it on the standard template as well so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Page protection
Hello Brandon, i am new here and i am recieving instruction from friends here. I was told to ask people like you to lock my article titled Alesis Citadel so only i can edit it. with gratitude --AlesisCitadel (Talk) 01:00, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Alesis, welcome to SWFanon! I do have the ability to do that, but page protection is meant to be a reactionary counter-vandalism tool, meaning it should only be used if the pages has been vandalized more than once. We don't lock articles to prevent other people from editing them. That said, we do have an editing policy that says no one can add, remove, or alter story content in your articles without your permission. Edits people can make without your permission are cleaning up spelling, grammar, formatting, etc. Anything mechanical can be edited to comply with policies, but story content can't be edited. I hope that clears things up! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  01:06, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hey-o
Where would something like an image or improvement drive go? The Fanon Cantina or Writing center? I was thinking of making a page for the Wiki Awards (not THE wiki awards since that is still two months away) that acts as a premature showcase/review board for people that want to prep articles for that Winter extravaganza. It would also be a platform for lesser known users to get their stuff seen since they appear to be overlooked come the flurry that is awards time.- I'm the Chosen One  21:41, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * It could go in either depending on the emphasis. If the emphasis is more about showcasing than reviews, I'd put it in the Fanon Cantina. If the emphasis is more about reviews then showcasing, I'd put it in the Critic's Lounge. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  21:47, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

I can mix both right? Say I make a CL, I can add a something that allows a person to show off the article if they don't want it reviewed (a caption or banner). I can do that as long as it emphasizes the review portion?- I'm the Chosen One  22:02, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Category deletion from page?
How do i delete categories from my pages. --Jacen Fett (Talk) 22:21, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Old "friend"
Hi Brandon, I'm sure you remember the user "TrueSith'ari" AKA "Darkon", the guy who vandalized some of the Dawnbreaker content here. Well, for some time, we had been at peace, and I was even working with him again on a separate story. But I eventually got sick of trying to work with him and decided to leave. Well, despite my request that he accept it peacefully, he's gotten all ticked off again and threatened to post the half-done Dawnbreaker III (which we discarded after we kicked him out) with his own ending, and use the Dawnbreaker name. Just a heads up, if and when he tries to post it, you'll have to deal with him. I had really hoped it wouldn't come to this again, but I'm afraid he's gunna try to plagiarize or vandalize our work again. GarynDakari is prolly the better one for explaining these things though. Here's a direct quote:

"I'll resume the old story on my own, I'll rename it back to Episode 3 Dawnbreaker, and I'll post it on Fanon when finished."

- TrueSith'ari "Darkon"

Ty294 (Hey Trak! I'm waiting on you!!!)  04:35, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Vandalism is one thing, but beyond that I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. He was part of this project and helped create the story and what not, so it's part his too. I'm not really sure from your comment how this constitutes plagiarism, or under what policy I'm supposed to do something about this. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  04:47, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

He was banned from the project, so he has no right to use our name. Furthermore, he'd be using OUR characters without our permission. Isn't it against to rules on this site to use other people's characters without permission? Ty294 (Hey Trak! I'm waiting on you!!!)  18:02, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Was he not involved in the creation of these characters and this story? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  18:06, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, it's me, Garyn. I'll try to explain. Dawnbreaker Episode 3 is a community role-playing project. We each created and wrote our own characters, so no, he did not help in the creation of the characters. After multiple threats to vandalize fanon, and even real threats of physical violence, we banned him. But that was after half a year of fighting, almost. We made a deal with each other, that we make Episode 3 without him, and he makes his own story with his own characters.

Episode 3 is not his story, and he is not a part of it. He backed out of the deal, and is essentially trying to steal the story name, and our characters.

I hope that helped. Garyn Dakari (Talk) 20:07, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, we're not saying he should be banned now, this is just a heads up, because knowing him, I'm 99% sure he WILL try and vandalize/steal what we've done again. Garyn Dakari (Talk) 01:50, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

If he posts it, I'll talk with Goodwood and Trak. There's some conflicting information here between you and Ty in terms of the extent of Darkon's involvement in what he plans to post, so I'll need to talk it over with them. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  03:20, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to keep bothering you about this, but he's causing trouble again. Over the last month or so, he's been sending me lots of PMs on Moddb, making threats and demands, but I've been ignoring all of them, hoping that will make him go away. He was suddenly silent for about a week, and he suddenly sends me this:

"Listen to me very carefully, you pathetic little fuck. I'm sick and tired of your ignoring my messages, or replying to them with those pointless video clips. You still think this is all a big joke at my expense, and that I am someone who will let you simply cut me out like this. Wrong. So now, FOR THE LAST TIME:

1. You'll let me back into Dawnbreaker. 2. I post my version of EP3 on Fanon TODAY. Your Assailant character IS included (and killed horribly in-story by Lord Darkon), along with most of the others (excluding the few who belong to those who didn't try so hard to provoke me into a reaction to give you an excuse to kick me out in the first place).

End of the line. Decide. And if you don't respond, I'll take that as Choice 2 on your part."

So there's that. I already told him about a month ago I wasn't going to respond to any of his messages, and I'm not going to respond to this one either.

Sure thing, Brandy. I'll make a sub-page for it so you can look at it prior to giving the thumbs-up and whatnot. Will then post a link to said subpage here on your babble page. 23:31, November 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is my preliminary tutorial. Please feel free to make suggestions as you see fit, then we can CT its adaptation as a policy or else just put it up as a tutorial. 01:50, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

R2-47
R2-47 has recently done an illegal edit on my Stefan Thomas page, I understand that the page is under construction but I would rather that another Fanonier wouldn't add their own perspective especially when I don't want to take the story in that direction, I am leaving his death date for example up for discussion and being ambigious. I won't undo the change at this moment in time but I will pass this message along to Goodwood and TK-999 also. Thanks - Hubris 10:16, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Image
File:Sith Lord by .jpg has no source or license, is not used, has been up for several days, and the uploaded is currently blocked for image policy violations, so the image can probably be deleted. Also, that image was uploaded by User:Bazri but it was put into an article by a different user, User:DarthSyon94 (the image was removed from the page as it was not DarthSyon94's page), so you might want to run a CheckUser on the two of them. Either way it's up to you. Thanks  Savage  1138  17:08, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Inquiry
Hello, I was recently editing on my about page for my wiki when I got into an editing war. It was nobody because it didn't show up on the activity list, though I presume it must have been a bot. I'm curious because I lost all my information as I was at the final touches and it was quite annoying.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I could possibly retrieve the lost data.

Thank you

P.S None of it saved as it was the first time I started editing on the page

Thank you
Thanks, Brandon, for motivating me. As you said in your SH, "Fix a page, don’t just slap a template on it. If someone posts a page that only has an infobox, write a sentence based on that infobox." I did just that. I went through the list, and added intros for all of the articles that needed them. Hopefully, you approve of my actions. Thanks again for the motivation.  Savage  1138  03:10, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * As a side note: what to do with POV issues? Per the editing policy, that's something I cannot fix. When I last encountered this, I wrote a message to the user and added NPOV&mdash;hopefully that's enough. Cheers! 07:35, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Special invitation for !
Hey, you! Yes, you!



You're cordially invited to the 7th Annual Wiki Awards on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki! Come nominate, procrastinate, marinate, and pontificate over the best and brightest of the community's offerings with us! Sample the choicest works with your critical eye (monocle sold separately) and submit your own works for a chance to be enshrined in the annals of Star Wars Fanon history. You might write whatever you want to because it's fun, but getting shiny awards and bragging rights doesn't hurt either, right? We didn't think so.

Don't force yourself into exile, or look for alternative activities this winter. Whether your work is one of the myriad incarnations of Revan, a Sith Lord with a hard-to-pronounce name, or some random teenager's pet pittin, you'll find an entry where it belongs. (Editor's note: "Best Incarnation of Revan" and "Best Hard-To-Pronounce-Sith" did not make the categories list this year.) It's time to break out the ancient Sith armor and capes, the dress uniforms for every soldier, and something to catch the eye for every pretty lass. And did I mention our sponsors include Sarth's Darths, provider of the finest black capes in the galaxy? Join our star-crossed, er&hellip;star-studded collection of Star Wars Fanon administrators including Brandon Rhea, Goodwood, and Trak Nar as we celebrate the individualism and creativity on this wiki. And if you thought this announcement was cheesy, you ain't seen nothing yet. (Consider this a warning to those, like Fiolli, who are lactose intolerant.)

So fire up the hyperdrive, hope it doesn't catapult you a few millennia forwards or backwards in time, and head on over to the Seventh Wiki Awards. We'd love for you to nominate deserving works (including yours!) and help us choose the best entries for this year! We can't pick between all the entries without you! And if you see any other special snowflakes who need invited to the extravaganza, just slap this message on their talk page to spread some holiday cheer&hellip; or something.

So from two folks who've contributed far more at Wookieepedia than here, who habitually bring you either terrible puns or delicious pasta, please accept our sincerest invitation to the Seventh Wiki Awards. And remember, we're doing this all for the community, because that's what really matters on this wiki. Right? Yeah&hellip;

GA question
Hi. I'm thinking of nominating Lukas Sevarin as a good article. Problem is it is written in British english and I think that may be bad. Whats your personal opinion on it? --God of Raw( The edge of darkness... )  21:11, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

You can change it, its just personly i don't think it will make a FA. --God of Raw( The edge of darkness... )  19:13, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Ok then. --God of Raw( The edge of darkness... )  19:19, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hi there Brandon, I thought I'd better tell an admin this, I just created a new article but didn't realise I was logged out, then when it came to change the name to one that fits in with my prior articles i.e. "Page Title (DKW27)" I logged in with an account I use on another wiki, so I was kinda hoping that my real account wont get blocked for sockpuppetry as it was totally unintentional, the other account is here as presumably you will want to block that one, to prevent sockpuppetry, anyway, I'm sorry about that, just when I logged in I didn't really think about what I was doing then realised my mistake afterwards, thanks alot, Dan --' DK Wolf 27 '  Holonet Channel  23:45, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Coup de grâce
Hey Brandon! To finally replace Title with  to make titles load immediately and remove the JS hack, there's one thing necessary to satisfy those who wish to remove parenthetical expressions from titles: needs to be set in Localsettings.php or via Special:WikiFactory&hellip; somehow. Cheers! 11:22, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback
Hey Brandon. Earlier today, these two anons did some minor vandalism to these two pages. Seeing as they did it across a ton of edits, I thought it would be easier for you to rollback the edits, than for me to try and reverse them all. Thanks  Savage  1138  16:19, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * As a Wikia Staff member, I can't really get involved in this one. Please ask Goodwood or Trak Nar. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  16:22, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Your CT question
Well, for the most part it's what is described there. What I do mostly is take pre-existing models and textures, modify them (some heavily, some only lightly) then use them to make a mod. Because I can't model, I use models either stock models from the game, or occasionally models made by other modders (but released for public use). Most of the time the map they're in was made by me, but again, it's mostly stock props and textures that I position and such. Make sense? Ty294 (Guns For Hire)  15:33, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Will the Wikia SOPA protest affect SWF?
I have noticed that tomorrow, many sites on Wikia will black out for 24 hours to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act(SOPA) going through the US Senate. I was wondering if this will affect SWF. I don't care either way, since I don't come here often anyway, I just want to know. Thank you.--Kermit has been turned to the dark side 01:26, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Large Problem
Okay, so in the Writing Center, there are a bunch of spaces to enter text and you will get a preload to write your article. The code for the event section is Use the box below to make an article on any event. preload=Template:Event preload tutorial buttonlabel=Create an event article width=50 break=yes Still, everything is sweet and dandy.... until we get to the point that Event preload tutorial doesn't exist. Which means you get a blank page. Could you fix this? I personally like to write my articles using the preloads, and I think this would do everyone a great favour.--<font color="#006600">V<font color="#0000ff">G PCOMMLINK 05:22, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Two things
Hey, I have a question and a suggestion. First the question, would I have to create a CT for something as minor as adding a link to the policies category into the MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation? I wouldn't think so, but I just want to check before I do so since it would probably be beneficial to users if they have someplace readily available to consult our policies, other than the main page. Now the suggestion, I suggest you add the fourth method of uploading (the "add a photo" button located on the right-hand side of the wiki on most pages) onto the SWF:IP. Just to cover all bases. Good editing!- I'm the Chosen One  11:41, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Sandbox
Hi Brandon, thanks for the welcome message. Do you know how I can put my own sandbox on my profile so that I can edit and save improvements to any article I make before I'm ready to create it as a whole and proper piece? Thanks in advance Ressor (Talk) 23:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Test by admin
Hey, there is a page created by an Anon called "Test by admin" and I figured you could check the IP of it or contact somebody to verify that it is indeed somebody with some standing on Wikia that made that page. Or you could delete it as spam. Thought I'd let you know.- I'm the Chosen One  03:24, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

 * Sorry I didn't notice until after it passed, but the category Category:Sage Masters does not exist and is a redlink. Rather than remove it myself, I decided I'd let you choose if you want to remove it, or fill in the category. Thanks  Savage  1138  15:09, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hiding textboxes?

 * Brandon, I imported Template:Spoilerbox over from Wookieepedia and am having some trouble getting it to work. The Show/Hide works in edit preview mode, but when I save the page, all I see is a gray bar and no Show/Hide. I got it to work with small amounts of text on my scratchpad, but couldn't get it to work with larger amounts on a subpage. Do you have any suggestions?
