Reply notes

If you leave me a message, I will put the reply here. I do not like having to go back and forth between different Talk pages to follow a conversation. That's a bit like if someone leaves you a note in the living room, so you go to the garage to leave them a message, then they go back to the living room to leave you another message, you go back to the garage for the next note, and so on.

You usually don't do that in real life. You and the other person are in the same room when you talk, or you're on the same phone call, or another similar method. Likewise, it's simpler and cleaner to reply to all messages here.

If you'd like to leave me a message, click on the Leave Message button towards the upper-right.

Anthony Solano
This user is stealing many things from Wikisimpsons, content and images. He took the plot that I had started for The Spy Who Learned Me, and has taken many images for episode from us, especially Ned 'N Edna's Blend, which was uploaded by me originally. I do not care about images especially, but content is illegal, isn't it? I have left a message on the user's talk page, but I would like to further action if necessary. Thanks, Randomno 16:45, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's Solar. You should check out all this user's edits. Randomno has removed a lot of the content from the Lady Gaga article here as it was the same as ours. I have blocked his IP from viewing Wikisimpsons so this shouldn't happen again. But can you please watch over this user for any suspicious activity. Thanks, Solar Dragon 17:14, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Those quotes can be found on several news websites, so they will be added back in once they are properly referenced. I will review Anthony's edits after I get a couple of things taken care of.


 * I think it is time to make it an official policy regarding material from Wikisimpsons. We both have better things to do. On that note, since you have been very diligent about making sure material from your wiki is not copied here, I trust you have been equally diligent that nothing from here after the time of your departure has been added to your wiki. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:11, May 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't check Simpsons Wikia often but if a new user makes a large edit, I will check both Wikipedia and here if I notice it. I haven't noticed anyone stealing content from here yet. If I did, or if you or any other user from here notices anyone copying content from here, feel free to bring it up on my talk page on Wikisimpsons, or via email (wikisimpsons@talktalk.net) and I'll look into it. Solar Dragon 22:12, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, also, you may notice that most, if not all, images he's uploaded were originally uploaded by us first although I'm not sure if the licenses cover images. Solar Dragon 22:37, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Gags
Do you know how to removes the "Gags" section on the template in episode articles?

As in Treehouse of Horror XX, it's between References and Apperances.TheShadowCrow (talk) 18:41, August 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can do that, but I put that in in preparation for covering a lot of gags that happen in episodes. For example, in the new opening sequence, there's about 14 major sections that can change from episode to episode. If we add in other gags that occur during the main portion of the episode, it could take up a big chunk of the References/Trivia page. I thought it might work better on a separate page.


 * I also added the Gallery page because we needed to work on how to handle images from the episodes. Some of the main episode pages have pictures on them, some do not. Some of the Appearances pages have pictures of each character, some just have a list of names.


 * I will try to come up with a couple of sandbox pages to demonstrate what each one could be before we decide one way or the other about using them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 19:11, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Weekly Chat
To promote activity on the chat room on sunday nights, I would recommend putting a simple call-to-action in the "Chat" section on your main page. You could also have a weekly episode countdown with the call-to-action for the chat, like I put on the HIMYM main page. —Porterfield 20:09, October 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have added the template (Template:Countdown) and what I think is the correct Javascript code to both MediaWiki:Wikia.js and MediaWiki:Common.js, but I am currently getting an error for the display date on my sandbox. I tested it with Firefox and Chrome after updating the MediaWiki pages so it should not be a cache issue. What did I miss? —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:28, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Customizing achievements
Hi, I'm Dwellersims and I'm the founder of the Fallout Series Wiki. I'll just get straight to the point. The achievements, i have them activated on my wiki and i was wondering how you made it into the Arcade points and instead of points it's coins. Also how did when you get new messages, it say you have springfield Mail. Cheers! Retro Radiation King (talk) 08:06, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Another admin made those changes. I think they're in the MediaWiki pages. I will check on them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:29, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Wikisimpsons and Plagiarism
Hi,

Today I noticed that a user User:PatTag2659 had taken pretty much the entire references page for Adventures in Baby-Getting/References from Wikisimpsons. I have removed everything that had been copied and pasted directly from my wiki and told the user about our policies and the fact he was actually breaking the law. However, could you make the policy official by writing it into the Simpsons Wiki:Plagiarism page, similar to the section we have on Wikisimpsons (http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Wikisimpsons:Plagiarism). Thanks, Solar Dragon 23:03, November 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a bit disappointing that this is still necessary, but at least there is now a similar statement on your wiki. Prior to Friday, having it only on this wiki could have been considered a double standard or simply one-sided. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:52, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Adminship
I was wondering if I could become an admin on this wiki Dannyboy1512 (talk) 20:41, November 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought we had an established procedure to become an admin, but I will need to find or create it. Since you have only made a few edits here and haven't visited any other wikis, I would like to see you make more edits here before you can be considered. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:58, November 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's been a month and you haven't made any further edits here or on any other wiki, so that tells me wanting to be an admin was more of a casual request. An admin needs to be willing to put in a lot of work on a wiki, both to improve it and to fix problems that come up. After you come back and make a more concerted effort to edit here, then we can discuss this again. For now, I will consider the request closed. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:03, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Rabbit. You've probably noticed I've been inactive for the past 20 days. In case you've assumed so, I want to make it clear I am not done editing here. What happend was I had a lot of things I was planning to do on the wiki and they were increasing faster than I could complete them and real life duties made it hard to keep up. I got stressed at the thought of this website. But now I think I'm officaly back again and I hope things can stay that way. Just letting you know. Did anything important happen while I was gone? TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:12, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I figured you were busy for a bit and would come back when you could. I have also been kind of floating along for a while. About the only significant thing is what I mentioned in my blog, which is that I asked Wikia to change it so that anonymous users can edit again. That's been off for a very long time and it's kept people from editing here. We might see a little more vandalism or nuisance edits, but we clean them up and continue on with building the wiki.


 * Probably after Season 15 is released on DVD next month, I will try to do a lot of cleanup on our pictures. At that point, I will have everything except seasons 16-19, so I will be in a good position to make sure we have good versions of each picture. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:21, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, I think I just found something I can do in the meantime. There are a LOT of low-quality pictures scattered about that are from the two family trees in the Uncensored Family Album. I bought a second copy of that book to assist with scanning the images, so I am going to work on that. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:57, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, great. I'm getting back to where I left off: Improving all the newly made pages. I've been unable to get far back on the Wiki Activity tab. In the past I could go several weeks back. The wiki would lose track of how many days ago the edits were after the first week, but I was still able to go back. But after a number of tries between now and yesterday, I've been unable to go back farther than a few days, where as I need to go back three weeks (growing every day). Do you know what the problem is? TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:46, November 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you go to the full Recent Changes list, you can click on how many days and how many changes to make. Once you have both of them, you can manually adjust it in the address bar of your web browser. For example, days=120 and limit=1000. That will let you see more of them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:45, November 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Where is the Recent Changes list? TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:42, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Special:RecentChanges. You normally get there by going up to the "On the wiki" menu, click on "Wiki Activity" and then click on "See all activity". I have customized the toolbar at the bottom so that I can get to the Recent Changes through it (the "My Tools" link). —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 19:38, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Screenshots
Just so you know, I worked hard to get these images, by timing video pauses perfectly so I can get the exact frames I believe are excellent. Are you sure you can replace those EXACT images? If you delete the current images, what will you use as a reference? And besides, you don't have to delete the images, just overwrite them. And jpg resolution is usually very poor and jagged. Kid Sonic (talk) 02:48, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I haven't had any problems using frame advance on PowerDVD or iTunes to get my screenshots. Well, the old version of PowerDVD seemed stuck on always displaying the closed captioning, but version 9 seems to work better. On most of the unused pictures, there wasn't anything on the file's page that showed what episode it was from and the file names didn't help, either, so it looked like it was going to be better to clear out the low quality pictures and do them over with new screenshots.


 * If you recognize what episode an unused picture is from, go ahead and add it to the episode's gallery. That way, it won't be unused any more and we can look at uploading a new version of picture.


 * Regarding the file type, as long as you save a jpg picture with no more than 10% compression, there isn't much difference from a png picture but the file size is a lot smaller and it loads quicker. Any artifacting and picture degradation occurs when the wiki resizes the picture to display it at a smaller size. The picture itself doesn't change, just the smaller copy that's created as needed.


 * We have over 10,000 pictures on this wiki, so I could use any help you can give me on organizing the pictures and uploading better quality versions. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:19, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism by 90.197.162.230
Hello. I hate to trouble you, but we have a vandal on our hands. This user, IP address 90.197.162.230, posted hate speech in some articles. I undid vandalism by this person, but he may strike again.—Brandon Devers 17:15, November 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * It looked to be more like name-calling than hate speech, but we can do without it. I've blocked them for two weeks. If they decide to do it again, then the block will be longer next time. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:56, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Original Information!?
As much as an issue Villius has been, I have to defend him here, and I cannot stress this enough. Since when is there such a thing as original information. Last time I checked facts are facts. An essay I can understand, but you can just bar information from a Wiki just because it's from somewhere else. It makes little sense. I just don't know how else to make it clear between this site and WikiSimpsons. It's part of the issue of why certain pages have little information and why certain wikis between these two have little content. For example, this site has all the Octuplet content (remember when The Nahasapeemapetilon Octuplets was just a disambiguation page with just the names of the octuplets, while each of their pages just had the promo card of the episode they debuted in?) and more information on tertiary characters of the day (the pages people never bother to add information on with little sources), while WikiSimpsons has all the comic/book content, better images, and information on characters people hardly know about.

Meanwhile, while things have been lenient, random Wikia members go around adding false facts and fan-made images that bring down the credibility of the Wiki. Why today, I learned that Eddie (the cop) is apparently Mr. Burns' son, while it's still unknown how on earth Squeaky-voiced Teen is Lunchlady Doris's son. Even on another wiki, Digimon Wiki, compared to the more-or-less detailed Wikimon, that wiki is mainly just a dumping place for fan-made Digimon drawings (or people trying to pass off Naruto characters as Digimon). It's a real mess. I don't believe in deleting other people's work or images (unless it's completely lewd or third-party), but I try to be fair and flexible (as if it were me). Even though something has to be done with all these *shudder* grabpics, since they take away from the little official character slates the series releases. Aside from that, we need all the factual information we can get or interpret (since the Fox writers themselves never bother to look at their old work, let alone pay attention).

Now I don't know what the big deal is with the copyright policy (since all these facts and ideas are never ours (the fans) to begin with), why it is what it is, or how this falling out between the two wikis happened in the first place, but we all need to work together and provide concrete information about the Simpsons series, so current and future fans, fanfiction writers, and Fox writers alike can know what goes on in the Simpson Universe, past and present. And even though many non-serious fans/people who just watch the show (and reruns) on Sunday dismiss continuity errors as "just a cartoon", there is a major difference between a long-running universe with an established background and backstories each major character, and a run-of-the-mill gimmick/skit-of-the-day plot cliche slapstick cartoon show. --Kid Sonic (talk) 05:51, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * A few people like Callum (Solar Dragon) feel that Wikia stole information from them by not allowing them to delete it before they left and they continue to feel that any copied information is also stealing. As such, as soon as they find out that anything has been copied from them, they leave notices for me about it. You can see two of those noticed higher up on this page. It is my opinion that they are looking for an admission of guilt, or at the least, a very prominent notice along the lines of "we copied from Wikisimpsons".


 * Frankly, I would rather not have to bother with this. I do not believe that anyone copying from another wiki is deliberately trying to harm that wiki. I believe that they think, "That looks like good info. I'll add it to this other place." But because the Wikisimpsons members feel that they own the information exclusively or just because they still hold a grudge against Wikia, they have specifically made it a policy that this wiki cannot copy from them and they are quick to remind us of that fact. My message to Vilius2001 was an attempt to head off them jumping down our throats again and/or resume vandalizing this wiki. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:14, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Forgot to mention that I can fix the "grabpics" since many of them are for what's in the Uncensored Family Album. I bought a used copy and removed the spine so that the pages can be scanned in easier. I will try to get that done in a few days. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:16, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Somehow this year, we have to reach a compromise between these two wikis, so who are the higher-ups, and who exactly do I talk to (on this site and WikiSimpsons) about this issue? --Kid Sonic (talk) 06:41, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * That would be any of the admins such as Solar Dragon. You're welcome to try, but I don't think it's going to do any good. One or two other people tried last year. If I remember right, what they were essentially told is that Simpsons Wiki has to give up everything and come over to Wikisimpsons. No compromise, just everything one-sided in favor of Wikisimpsons. It's kind of sad, but they still view this as a competition where they have to beat this wiki. I would settle for both wikis just ignoring the other. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:50, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Administrators
I'm back, and apparently, SolarDragon is being incredibly stubborn about the whole thing. So it looks like we're going to have to make our activity here much tighter. But in order to do that, I first have to become an admin, something I initially refused at first (due to the series being bigger than me), but due to the intensity of what we're dealing with here, it's worth it. Now is there anyway that I can request to become an admin for this Wikia? --Kid Sonic (talk) 23:34, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I kind of thought that would be the case. He's felt that way for two years and it's going to take a long time for his attitude to change, if it ever will. I think we can save ourselves time and hassle and just assume that it isn't. In the meantime, we can offer something different and hopefully a friendlier atmosphere.


 * Another funny and sad thing about the situation is that one of their main objections was having the content of the wiki formatted to a fixed width. These days, pretty much everything is formatted to a fixed width. CNN, the New York Times, The Thames, MSN, etc., all formatted. Read something on an iPad? Formatted to fit the iPad. Want to read something on this year's new iPad? Websites had to reformat their iPad content to fit the bigger screen of the new iPad. I have a widescreen monitor. I find it's harder to read things on a site like Wikipedia if I have the web browser filling the full screen (which I almost always do) because the text runs about 19" wide so I have keep moving my head and eyes to read each line. The Wikia skin is a little narrow for when you want to do things with tables that have a lot of columns, but for most everything else it works pretty good and it's more comfortable for me to read.


 * Anyway, at the moment, I don't think we have an established procedure for electing administrators. It's something we need to work on, along with revamping/replacing the existing policies. Until then, I think that Bureaucrat's discretion will suffice. You've worked hard on this wiki and I like the fact that you didn't ask for admin rights until you knew you were ready for it.


 * Admin rights are hereby granted. Please take a look through the Block policy candidate forum and use that as a guideline on how to deal with problem users until we get a formal policy established. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:36, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Candidate for Deletion
Station Wagon

This article serves little purpose and isn't specific with when it appears. Erm, so anyway... just my opinion on that article. ToyStoryFan123 (talk) 20:40, December 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Three other pages link to it, including one for the Hit and Run game. It needs to be cleaned up instead of deleted. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:58, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your point, however Marge's Station Wagon, which I believe is the Station Wagon they used for that page already has a page. How about making it a disambiguation page? Mother Fudger! (talk) 18:43, December 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * This needs deleting, I made it by pure accident, I was trying to make a Quotes page for 'Lisa  the Tree Hugger (The Simpsons Game)' but I accidentally put Quotes twice D: so anyway, here it is: Lisa the Tree Hugger (The Simpsons Game)/Quotes/Quotes


 * Thanks


 * P.S I made a proper one after this so... yeah... Mother Fudger! (talk) 18:47, December 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:11, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Founder
hi who is the founder of this wiki? thx 904. 904nyc904 (talk) 20:02, December 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * That was Postbagboy, but he has been uninvolved with the wiki since the day he created it. He still gets credit for creating the wiki, but that's as far as it goes. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:11, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Favorite comics template
Hello! I think there should be also a template for a user's favorite Simpsons comic. When there is one for the favorite game, why not also for the favorite comic?

I tried to make one. Type:

You can see it in my profile. Please tell me what do you think. -Terry12fins24 15:17, January 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's pretty good. The Userbox template is there so that people can easily make their own custom templates. But I think we can create a dedicated template for favorite comics. I've bought most of them for the past year so we can get some good scans of the covers. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:11, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Custom font headers
REQUEST: Could this wiki have it's headers with a custom font like on Survivor Wiki? With the Simpsons font obviously...? 13:30, January 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Simpsons font really isn't a good design for that sort of thing. It's okay for an occasional emphasis header, but it looks sloppy when it is used for large amounts of text. The Survivor font is more uniform and the bold weight of the font helps it even at smaller text sizes. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:16, January 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just noticed that the SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki changed their header font. The font has a mix of thin and thick strokes in the letters, so when you're looking at smaller text, letters like the J, y and the o in the third section header on the Jelly Spotters page have lines that almost fade into the background. If you look at the other characters, like the W in Recent Wiki Activity on that same page and it's almost a blob. And it's even worse when you look at the small bolded headers in their forums.


 * I have re-checked the Simpsons font and it also does poorly at small font sizes (11 point and below) unless everything is in uppercase. So unfortunately, while this idea sounds good, we would have to avoid using the font associated with the show in order for the headers to be legible, especially with the level 3 and level 4 headers. And if we're not going to use the Simpsons font (Akbar), then it wouldn't be worth having custom fonts. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:01, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Vilius2001
Hello. I hate to trouble you, but Vilius2001 vandalized my profile and trolled me. Would you please block this user? Thank you.—Brandon Devers 18:12, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

HELP! Vilius2001 is repeatedly vandalizing my page! He won’t quit trolling me!—Brandon Devers 18:38, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, good thing there seems to be more bad things about this user. He has been stealing content from Wikisimpsons too. Examples are Bengt R. Holmström and Springfield Sperm Bank. Could you please take necessary actions with this user and his stolen content? Thanks, Solar Dragon 22:11, January 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have left an official warning that any further vandalism will result in a block. As to his edits, as I said on his talk page when I spotted them about two days ago, they will be reviewed and rewritten or deleted. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:32, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Massive Changes and New Policies Needed!
I just looked at MANY of the articles on this site and........well I'm not going to lie. This site is a mess, a big major mess. And at the risk of sounding cynical, ........ you know what, I can't even follow up on that response. To put it simply, massive changes in both content and organization need to be made. But because it's too big a job for just one person, I come to you for advice. For starters, you seem to know a lot about the mechanics of this site alone. So is their some way to get in contact of every current contributor, like a community article discussion page that everyone must participate (whether it's by policy, or simply redirecting them to the page if they try to edit or upload any content)? Because right now, we're in a state of emergency, and even as we speak, we keep getting new members who keep adding so many random and trivial details that we even know what to do with. But because this sounds like a lot, just point me to the policy page, where I can list the current issues and new editing rules.

Basically, we have a few major missions here for 2013:
 * 1) Clean up every single article that is disorganized or cluttered.
 * 2) Add any missing content that WikiSimpsons already may or may not have (without stealing or copying verbatim directly from their site, or at least not in a way that is obvious enough for them to detect).
 * 3) Organize any unused or randomly placed images, for the sake of being fair to those who uploaded them.
 * 4) Stay up to date with content regarding episodes, comics, games, etc., and continue contributing like we normally would. --Kid Sonic (talk) 22:17, January 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that there is still a lot of cleanup to do. It's better than it used to be. To give you an idea, there were over 3,000 redirects for the most trivial and useless things, 105 season templates that I was able to reduce down to 1 main template and 1 template for each season, episode pages that were misspelled because it was different in one of the 105 templates than it was in another, and a few policies that were pretty harsh.


 * There is a Community Messages section that can be updated and people will receive a notification that it's been changed, but I don't know if there is a way to redirect everyone there. We can use that to list pages that we need input on. It's on the right side of the Wiki Activity page and I see that the last time I updated it was in December.


 * All of our policies are in the Policies category. Two of those I am going to work on this weekend if nothing comes up. One of the other things we should do first is update the Manual of Style.


 * Regarding the four things you listed, the images all need to have a description, a link to the episode, licensing and categories. I will try to find a file that has that info. And regarding the second item, we should not even try that. At least one person has already suggested that, and after I said it's not a good idea, they did it anyway and Wikisimpsons spotted it.


 * I should have some more info in a little bit. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:31, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Protected pages
Hello. I was trying to work on this wiki, but I found that some pages are protected. I know it's to protect them from vandalisms, but in this way neither good edits are allowed! Wouldn't it better to free them and, if it is needed, to block vandals and rollback bad edits? --Meganoide (talk) 14:39, January 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * According to our Protected pages list, there aren't that many pages that are fully protected, which means only an admin can edit them. Most of these are templates and a couple of files and they are used enough that they probably should stay protected.


 * I have unprotected several of the episode and character pages that were semi-protected. You should have been able to edit any of these since you've had your account for more than a week.


 * Most of the decisions to protect a page were made by admins who aren't here any more. We will be reviewing things like this and there is a policy that I wrote for another wiki that can be used here that describes when and when not to protect a page. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:49, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Ferbot pruning redirects
Is there a way to get it to stop pruning useful redirects of given names like how it deleted Nikki? Even if there isn't a (current) on-wiki link using that, redirects can still be in use via people typing it into the browser bar or linking it from off-wiki. +Yc 15:04, January 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Already answered in two other places, but summarizing here: that was done by me with that account as part of cleanup to get our redirects down to a managable number that actually are useful. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:32, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: File names and file types
Sorry, it's just my computer automatically saves them as '.png's. I'll use '.jpg's from now on. Yeah, and I'll use spaces from now on, it's just that not many people'd be reading the file names, mainly looking at the pictures, but yeah, I'll do that :) Mother Fudger!

$pringfield (Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)
Hi, I was wondering if you could make a redirect for this episode, because it's a pain in the kadiddlehopper typing it all  out, like, erm keep the the old name, but make a redirect so like you could write $pringfield or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling. It just seems quite pointless to do something like "Marge had a gambling problem in a previous episode ". Thanks, in advance :) Mother Fudger! (talk) 10:31, January 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * The first one you suggested, $pringfield already exists, so your example could use that and look like this: "Marge had a gambling problem in a previous episode ". If you want to see what redirects are available, check Special:ListRedirects. Also, a lot of times if you pause while typing a link, the wiki will pop up suggestions on how to complete the link, but it appears to only show redirects if it has an exact match. The $pringfield redirect didn't show up until I had finished typing the D. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:27, January 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ahh, ok, I think I may have used $pringfield once, but it didn't work, I must've used a space like " previous episode ", but just didn't realise it, thanks :) Mother Fudger! (talk) 15:44, January 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ooh, this remind me, for El Viaje De Mysterioso De Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of our Homer), could you have two redirects; one for the Spanish title and one for the English. Thanks :) Mother Fudger! (talk) 16:30, January 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * We now have redirects for "El Viaje Misterioso" and "The Mysterious Voyage of Homer". You can add them other redirects if you think they are needed. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 21:11, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Special:Leaderboard
S'probably me being OCD, but how come on that page, some people have green arrows next to their names but others don't? I mean, people like Terry12fins24, Jhonevans and SolarDragon do, but people like you, me and BDE1982 don't? Mother Fudger! (talk) 18:24, January 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that's a glitch. Up and down arrows are supposed to indicate which people are rising and falling in the rankings. Five of the people haven't made any edits in several months, so they should have a down arrow as Terry12fins24 rose to #3. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:17, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Home Page
Why hasn't the home page changed in 3 months? 92.0.102.253 21:04, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * This is partly due to the admins being busy or absent during the past few months. We'll get it updated shortly. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 21:13, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Today's vandalism
Hello. We have another vandal on our hands. This Jason McMartin character has been renaming some episodes’ pages with sexually explicit names. I have undone some of his vandalism, but he likely redid it. Please block him.—Brandon Devers 19:33, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * There was only one page that qualified for that, which has now been fixed. I was able set the block during the day and have finished the cleanup now. If he continues to be a problem, I have done enough research that a very long or permanent block would be warranted. Whether that is needed is up to him. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:41, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Celifrog
Hello again. I hate to bother you, but yet ANOTHER vandal is repeatedly messing up pages and inserting false info. His user name is Celifrog. I have undone a multitude of his illegal edits, but he might redo them. Please block him.—Brandon Devers 04:10, January 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. Vandalism is something that happens to every wiki, so the less fuss is made while fixing it, the better. In this particular case, I'm pretty sure I know what this person is talking about, so I am prepared to deal with it if he decides to continue. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:21, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
