Talk:Star Wars Fanon Wiki/Archive3

Archived talk: 1  2

This is the way how liberty dies
It is ridiculous :D It should be STAR WARS fanon wiki, I accept yesterday was the All Fools' Day. I hope there will be some videos refer to SW ;) Z

Sweet
I like this place already. As soon as I upload my series on F.net, I'll start some articles. BTW, how do I get some art work for my Fictious charecters?

NOTICE
I deleted the Haven and 313 section on this talk page because it revealed the secret bases location.I have now joined the 313.--Malak 19:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Quote of the Week
What does everbody think about having a Quote of the Week? Ewoksfist 20:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea. BTW, could someone email me the 313 link?

I like it too, I was thinkin' of asking about one. ~ Darth Hideous 17:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Good Idea. Where on the main page should it be put? 20:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC

I got one! "Knowledge is a gift that cant be retured"
 * P Brane

Delete tag vandal
Some vandal put a delete tag on the main page but I took it of.--Malak 22:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah - that guy vandalized a bunch of pages. He just got banned; I fixed a few pages, and some other people got the rest. My first vandal attack I've fought off - exciting. -4 22:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Anti Vandal Stuff?
Why is all Anti Vandal stuff being deleted?--Malak 16:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Feeding the trolls. NKSCF 16:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

What?--Malak 16:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry screwed up the link. NKSCF 16:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Haven Difficulties
Everyone if you cant get in the haven its normal at least once or twice a week editthis will shutdown, i will shortly try to create the haven at wikia. - DV

The HoloNet Insider
I propose that once The HoloNet Insider is up and running the way it should that a link from the main page should be made. Please contact me about it. Ty Darth Aeonz 07:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Interesting
Does anyone else have the move command erased? Does it have anything to do with the recent vandalism? 71.252.83.215 22:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops. My mistake. I was logged out, and therefore qualified as a new user. C3PO the Dragon Slayer 22:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed that. I think Sannse may have done something because of the recent vandalism, which is partially my fault. NKSCF 22:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Wait... Gnosis moved something just a couple minutes ago. Is this a selective thing? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 22:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

It might just be a minor glitch. If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'd recommend talking to Sannse. NKSCF 22:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The Move command is back. C3PO the Dragon Slayer 00:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Did you ever figure out why it went missing? NKSCF 00:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

No, but I've lost interest. C3PO the Dragon Slayer 00:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm back

 * Hey all. Sorry about not being online for a month or so. I've moved house and my computer hasn't had Internet connection for a while. But i'm back now and i'm planning on continuing to contribute to this wiki :-D. Jasca Ducato 18:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

wierd format

 * Both Wookiepedia and SWfanon have long and skinny articles now, and it messes everything up. Does anybody else have this? Is it vandalisim? I can't stand it! All my stuff is messed up by it, and it overall doesn't seem as cool.--1upD 00:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, it was an error with my browser. I fixed it.--1upD 14:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Idea
We should have a quote of the day

Yeah I like the quote of the day idea better than quote of the week.--BobaFatt 14:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but with the way we vote, we might have to settle for every week. Maybe not. I say try QotD, but make it every week if it doesn't work. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 15:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Protect?
Should the main page really be protected? We don't have enough admins to improve it if it's protected. If we have edit wars over it, it should be protected, but for now, I request unprotection. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 14:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Sig?
How do you make a costum signature?--1upD 20:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Alliance With RVA
RVA proposed to make peace and alliance with wikia if they help bring down isv. its seen in A Letter From Jimbo Kennedy III

Locked from editing
I have made the main page sysop access only again because of this stunt that you guys pulled. Adding stuff like that to the main page makes you look bad to any newcomers. If you guys can't even be trusted to use the main page responsibly, then you don't get access to it.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 14:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Darn, sorry. Hey, in 10 days SWFanon will have been on for a year! &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 16:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Alabastar did not know of this, since he had been on vacation for a week. I'm sorry that he did that, though and I understand why you are locking it. NKSCF 16:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I put that ugly message up there. But we need some sort of message thing. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 17:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

That message by Jimbo Kennedy III was a lie.-Malak 17:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Fardonar War Battle Contest
If you want to enter the contest go here.-Malak 09:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

CANCELED!-Malak 21:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Picture Drive

 * Could someone get the Pic Drive on the main page, or at least were people can see it? It's a complete ghost town!--1upD 19:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm. It's a good idea. I also like the SC Battle Compition, and I think we should have more collaborative things like that. Authors should nominate their stories, and we vote on which one needs help first, then we vote for the best articles, ideas, etc that detail or expand the story. What do you say? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) [[Image:NewRepublic.png|20px]] 01:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah! Let's do it! Plus, I think I'll make a competition soon
 * Good idea. I would like images for some of my planets.
 * YES! It's working! Soon everyone will see it!
 * So, how come nobody's voting?

Just wanted to tell you all that DV betrayed us again, no surprise. I also quit everything there and now this is the only wiki I go on other then Halo fanon, Halopedia, this place, Wookieepedia, and Wikipedia. DV is ISV again, too! I am also supposed to be banned but they only put the banned template on my page without banning me, and I can still edit, it's so retarded! LOLOLOL! I bet most of you think that this message is pointless because you might already know this.

Compressing Images
I've been recently going through images and compressing them for File Size, however not compressing them so much that the image entirely loses it's quality. I was just wondering if anybody didn't want me doing this. You know, because maybe they like the Highest Quality ever? -- I need friends! 00:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've notcied this as well. Master 76 Holodisk Mind TrickJedi Library

some dude has vandalized the AU and speaks in rhymes and calls himself Theoderic the Great and says that he's from SWFanon if anyone cares.
 * That's me.

Urgent
172.213.157.188 is not me, just so everyone knows. He's starting to copy my siggie and pose as me, so if you see something odd, don't believe it. I'm hoping he gets banned for this, oh and Fang I went to the AU and saw that as well. Thanks. Master 76 Holodisk Mind TrickJedi Library

The vandals might have a program that can change their IPaddress and resist blocking. I'm checking it out.

IPs are actually not hard to change, unfortunately. But, when changed an easy way, the adress is almost exacly the same as the previous one. I only recently figured it out. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

You have seriously gone too far with this boodlemyth. You think everyone is boodle, returning cos hes got a hi-tech IP changer system.. When in reality, Boodle is not a vandal - and there seem to be about 6 other people.. who are vandals.

I suggest you admins check it out. Boodle hasnt done anything for weeks. He got banned. No more pointing fingers. --Arc Hammer 19:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Nice "Create an Article" tab!
Cool! Kalas Grengar 03:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I also added the Picture Drive and made the DidYouKnow template take up two columns to conserve usage of the scroll wheel on the Main Page. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yay! That "Create an Article" tab really helped me create the Lambda Squad page! Thanks! -Dubtiger, 9:26 pm EST

Talk with Darth Fang
Can I put my Talk With Darth Fang article on the main page like Jasca Ducato did with the SCBC? I would really appreciate it.

We shouldn't advertize specific articles like that on the Main Page at all, which is partially why the Main Page was protected. You could more subtly, and therefore unofficially and politely spam, the article by making changes to it and making people in Recent Changes find out about it, or put it on your userpage, or make links to it from your articles. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 17:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

New Featured Article?
According to the main page's history, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo has been the featured article for at least three weeks. Also, on August 30, 2006, Gnosis removed all traces of Qui-Gon Jinn from the featured article page, and added the "Featured Article" template to that article. This, from what I understand, indicates that Qui-Gon Jinn is the next article to be featured on the main page. Since it is now Sunday, September 10, 2006 (the beginning of a new week), I believe Qui-Gon Jinn should be featured this week. Unending evil 10:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. - Angel Blue 451 19:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Second Galactic Civil War
The Second Galactic Civil War will be a massive community project similar to the Sith Crusade (I hope), so could an Admin or Staff member please put that on the main page? Something about ''If your bored, why don't you try out the Second Galactic Civil War? The best part is, anyone can create battles for it!'' Thank you. Master 76 Holodisk Mind TrickJedi Library

Better put it on Things to Do.

Question About a Template
There's this one template that I'm using, and there are some parts I don't understand.

Please help.

Try to figure it out yourself by looking at the labels. You can insert an image link in the image field, type the name in the name field, what planet it was founded on in planet, et cetera. What else is there to get? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 22:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I have no freaking clue what it means by "branches" and "other positions"

Branches means different parts and departments of the organization (sanitation branch, military branch) other positions is other important ranks and roles in it, such as Manager, Overseer, Vice-Governor, etc. &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Additions to the archives) 22:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, how come when I type the name of my new page into the search box (Joey the Jedi Ewok), it says the page doesn't exist, but when I go to this link (http://swfanon.wikia.com/index.php?title=Joey_the_Jedi_Ewok), it does exist? Pelican 19:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Aiddat! Go ahead and look at Kyle's Alley, it's the only time I've used it. “Branches” refers to the planets that the organization has extended too. For example: Czerka has many branches in KOTOR. Including a Tatooine branch, a Korriban branch, etc. As for the "other positions" section, it’s not really needed. I don’t even remember why I made it. Hope this helps. Ewoksfist 04:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

We are not supposed to be messing with them. Please do not provide another link to them here. NKSCF NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 04:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Halloween
Could the background colours change for october?

Black and Orange would would odd looking probaly.-Malak 10:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

We should at least do a holiday special like what we did with Independence Day. If you can figure out a way to make good Halloween colors, show me in the Sandbox. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

UOTW
Can someone please change the Main Page, since I am no longer UOTW? Resume Open Negotiations  My Bounties'''

By the way, this site has been awfully deserted lately. The UOTW hasn't been changed in 3 days. Someone needs to do something soon. Resume Open Negotiations  My Bounties''' 20:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The site is hardly deserted, but the weekly awards and drives are desolate. Nobody is as eager to do such things as changing the UOTW and IDRIVEs anymore. One small factor is probably that in the current rapid growth of the site, many users consider themselves "n00bs" and are possibly intimidated of trying such a task. It is also likely that many people don't know how to change it. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Pointless Templates
I am disturbed by the ammount of STUPID "Don't touch" templates there are. It is stated on the main page "don't touch". If you don't want them to touch, contact an admin if they do and get them banned!
 * I think that is a problem, one that I have been hinting to adress. You should set a forum up on this matter. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 23:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Einstein Quote
Um, isn't the correct quote "Imagination is more important than knowledge"? - Milo Fett Comlink 23:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes. ''' Impart some of your wisdom

Isn't that the quote that's there?

Hapes character infobox
Can some one update Template:Hapes character infobox to match all the others. I tried but its really hard.

Just Testing Something

 * Generally, the Sandbox is the better place for tests. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much! C3PO The Dragon Slayer!

Adverts
On the Contents we could add Adverts (as in to pages)

Hitbob 21:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Never give up!!!
No matter what, never eliminate this website page. Many people depend on this site, in order to project their ideas and opinions (good ones, not bad), so that they can feel acknowledged on how they view and feel about the series. May the force, be with you!!!!!!!!! --Delta353c 07:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you somehow implying that this site is under the threat of elimination? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 16:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I'm reffering to all articles on star wars fanon, that have the right to remain on this site. Yours included I believe!!! --Delta353c 20:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, you've confused me now. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 18:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Not exactly that I'm one to speak, at least not anymore, but I think he's trying to say that all ideas can find a home here, even if they're as stupid as something like a Hutt with a Sarlaac with legs for a body. I guess he's new here and just trying to make himself known. But hey, I haven't even been on SW Fanon in a while. I'm just like some retired verteran guy that helps out every once in a while. I'm too busy with work. Plus, Guitar Hero II is coming out next week. Best game ever next to Halo 3.

Main Page
Could some admin restore the "fanon motto" section to how it was pre-April Fools Day? That YouTube link is taking up the whole space.

Video
Could a admin remove the YouTube video? - Patricknoddy (Talk) 15:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Eras.
Just quick note.

I'm pretty sure it should be like this Instead of having it just "Rise of the Empire Era" that image goes with the "Republic/Clone War Era" and where you have "Rebellion Era" it should be "Galatic Civil War Era" just a quick note.
