Star Wars Fanon talk:Community Portal/Archive2

huh?
So what is that message about, does it mean all my stuff is going to be deleted soon? What should I do?

I just didn't really understand it.

I wonder...
Can someone upload this image into the system? It won't let me.

You just posted it therefore it is uploaded. Ewoksfist 06:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

No, its just a linked URL. Its not uploaded to the wiki yet.

So, its a .png file? Save it onto your comp by right clicking it and clicking "Save Picture As". Then you should open it in paint or whatever it takes and save it as a GIF or a JPG. Then, when you want to upload it, type in the search bar on this page ((Image:Kalas Grengar)). When you click the redlink, you'll get a special edit format. Browse for the picture on your computer. THen, you should name the page after the picture, or ((Kalas Grengar.GIF/JPG. Then click the upload button. I hope those directions are clear enough. -Di&#39;e Go

No, it's a BMP. Kalas Grengar 03:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

So copy it and paste it in any image editing program, and save it as a JPG. You can then upload it. Ewoksfist 03:42, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe You
Can Protect the page like how i see ewoksfist do it. Thats a good idea to protect your page. That is if you want to. Some user's add illegal editing on my List Of Creations. But they Dont know i am a kid. Until Now. Anyways it's a good idea to protect the page. If you want to anyways.

From Obi-gone

Hey, I don't know who does the maitenence around here, but I'd like whoever it is to delete my articles Xon Sinis, Draiig Norsan, and Tarn Quel-Unis. Someone has been messing with them and I don't want that to happen. Please delete my articles. Thank you.

Improvement! GO!
Please keep old topics on here. Anyway, I think we should all band together, and make this place more functional and attractive. Get template tag things. I think we could use a better logo too. I don't know much about making new templates and programming highlights (featured article, "did you know", etc.) but I, and everyone else reading this, should learn and get to it. Go Star Wars Fanon! Aiddat 20:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

AARGH!
Dang, we gotta change the rules of this wiki, and protect people's work, somebody defaced mine. :( Please either lock my stuff or delete it. -Aiddat

I agree. That would be a huge improvement, but I doubt it will happen. Ewoksfist 22:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

We need a battle template
We really need one. I have checked several battle articles, and they all have template:Battle redlinked. Gnosis is knowledge 20:56, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Never mind I found one. Gnosis is knowledge 01:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Editing Templates
I have an idea. Let's make templates to post on your page that indicate how much you would like people to edit them. No template would be assumed to mean do not edit, there could be one that says revert vandalism, fix spelling mistakes, etc. How about one that asks for new ideas on the articles talk page? I'm going to start. I was also thinking of pictures and captions like Wookieepedia does, but should the captions be from canon Star Wars or fanon? -Aiddat 01:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Update: Ok, I'm working on it, but I need better color choices. Please help. -Aiddat 01:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Categories
I've worked on categories recently. I think we should categorize our articles by author, I've already done that to some of mine. There are also categories for location. -Aiddat 15:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we should. It would be a benefit to all of the vandals. They would just have to find an article by the user they hate, and vandalize away. Gnosis is knowledge 15:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

But wouldn't it also make fixing easier? I think it'll have more good sides than bad, but suit yourself. I've already linked mine up. -Aiddat 16:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE we have categories by location and species too. I think we should link our articles to them. -Aiddat 19:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Idea template

 * I made template that I think will be quite useful. It is to be used to mark articles that you want ideas for. It puts them in a category that one can check easily. Post ideas on those articles' talk pages.

To use it, type:

Featured Articles
Recently, I nominated 3 articles to be the featured article. I would like to see more nominees!! I can't be the only one nominating!! -Di'e Go

Our name
What should the people of SW Fanon call themselves? Gnosis is knowledge 17:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Good question. I thought about that too, I but I just said Wikipedians. We should try and come up with something. Ewoksfist 17:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

The Imagineers? MaulYoda 02:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

How bout something like "Fanonians"? Or, "Wikipedes"? -Di'e

How about 'Fanopedians'? --Thetoastman 22:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Seriousness
Recently, as you all may know, vandals have been commonly attacking this wiki. While it is something to get angry about, it is NOT something to make a game out of. "The Clone Wars", "Vandal Poachers", and "The Most wanted list"?? Please. If I were a vandal, I'd be laughing in the face of SWFANON. Last time I checked, vandalism is a serious problem to be faced with a serious solution (i.e. Angela coming and matter-of-factly banning vandals). You should stop making a game out of this whole ordeal.

P.S.-I do like the fact that you made a fanon page about fighting vandals, but it's still immature.

Peace -Di'e Go Am'er'ez

True, when a vandal comes we should just ban their ass. I mean that with all seriousness. Ewoksfist 18:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, it is a way to get some enjoyment out of the vandals. The Clone Wars was named because of the clone vandals. I should look at the various OTHER unserious articles on the site (i.e TACOS), but I've marked most of them for deletion. Gnosis is knowledge 18:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, TACOS and BURRITOS have been deleted. Gnosis is knowledge 14:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Immature?! So we made an article about the recent vandal attacks, that's not immature. The most wanted list only to show which vandals people should be on the lookout for so they can be banned permanetly and vandal poachers find and report vandals so that other users can go on with correcting the vandalism. Trust me, I'd know, I started all three. MaulYoda 20:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Then make the entire thing sound serious. Making a war out of this is not very smart.  Right now, you guys are basically saying that you're the good guys and they're the bad guys.  While that technically is true, you've blown it out of proportion.  Listing it as a campaign, with battles and all sorts of junk?  Couldn't you focus all of this creative energy into continuing your fanon works, like Gnosis and me, while acting normal about reporting vandals?  I hope you don't misconstrue this as "unpatriotic talk", but please be more serious about it.  -Di'e Go

I also contributed much to that. I enjoy it. Gnosis is knowledge

You really think that we make this a game? We are quite serious about this. O=

New Vandal
siggh....get Angela, somebody. Can do. Ewoksfist 20:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

It's been reported. Ewoksfist 20:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Creativity Templates
Is it just me or are they getting out of hand? How much do we really need to gloat? Ewoksfist 18:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

cr-7 should be deleted at once. It's blasphemous, too. Gnosis is knowledge

I know! This is stupid. Ewoksfist 18:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, level 4 is good enough, and level 2 or 3 should be called average creativity. I admit I made the cr-0 mostly as a joke, I don't think anyone would seriously call himself duller than a B-1 battle droid. But enough is enough. -Aiddat 19:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Community Portal Page itself
Should we put a "Things to Do" section on the article page of this? Or perhaps on the Main Page? If we had an easily accessible link to articles needed to be improved or requested articles, maybe we won't have to rely on the "Recent Changes" section so much. Should I go ahead and post something?C3PO the Dragon Slayer 18:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

That's what I was talking about. There's a category of articles that need improvement, but I can't make a link to it without putting the page it's on in that category. -Aiddat 22:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Sighh...again...
Somebody get angela or sannse or somebody. A user is being a total prick and impersonating me in a most despicable way.

Creative Scale
Okay, we've been having a lot of trouble over the creative userbox thing so my suggestion is, just do cr-4 for the highest. That way, we don't get up to cr-10 or something. MaulYoda 02:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

YOU created cr-6!! What you're saying is hypocrisy!

I made it before I said it and I'm going to delete it. MaulYoda

Perspective
Should SW Fanon have an in-universe or out-of universe perspective? Gnosis is knowledge 14:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

In-universe, definitely. --Thetoastman 22:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

In-universe, except for maybe this:


 * Behind the scenes/Beyond the stories/inspiration
 * User stuff, talk pages
 * Joke pages shouldn't have to be, and yes they should be accepted. I think we should make a category for pages like C-3PO the Dragon Slayer, they shouldn't just be deleted if they aren't profane or annoying. -Aiddat 22:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

This will be hard. Everyone in the characters category will need to be moved to individuals, and words like fanonical will have to be removed. We'll also have to create two great categories, joke entries and serious entries, and more. Gnosis is knowledge

The Revert
All the categories got messed up somehow. Is there a way to fix this easily? -Aiddat 15:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I have no clue what happened to the categories.

I just know that this site has really been messed up in the past day or two because of the Crumb attacks...undoubtebly our worst vandal attack yet. Gnosis is knowledge

Ok, to fix the categories, just click edit then save. You don't have to do anything, just save it. So if you read this, you'd better to it to your own work. Don't forget subcategories (categorized categories), too. -21:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes
Please stop taking my userboxes without asking. MaulYoda 01:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Can I borrow your SuperShadow one? NKSCF 01:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for asking. MaulYoda

You're welcome NKSCF 13:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

New Leadership
Considering Neomessiah is never on, I was wondering whether any of you guys wanted me to become its new leader. Post you opinions below, if you have any. MaulYoda 12:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes
 * 1) Sounds good. Gnosis is knowledge
 * 2) You would make a good leader. -Di&#39;e Go

No

Question

No offense but, what right do you have to suggest this? We're not even admins yet. Ewoksfist 15:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

As Ewoksfist said, though I support you entirely, how?

Angela. If I ask her, get a lot of support, and write a really long letter explaining why, I'm sure I could budge her mind. Otherwise, we could create a new SW Fanon Wiki and move all our articles there so that we could have admins who were on more, like me or any of you who I could get promoted. If you mean what authority do I have, none, I just have a brain of crazy yet good ideas. MaulYoda

1000 Article Drive
It's almost summer for some of you which means schools out and you can focus your efforts here. Our goal this summer is to create 1000 articles to make this wiki bigger. Please help the cause. MaulYoda

That is what I have been doing. We reached article 666 yesterday.

As you've mentioned, over and over again. :p NKSCF 14:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

We were at article 711 when I came on this morning (Well, it might not be morning where you live, but it is where I live). I think that Article 711 is Jasca Ducato's. At that rate, we'll be at 1,000 in only a few days.

Wow, I got him to come here. I'm amazed. I should be a lawyer. MaulYoda
