"Please delete!"
Hello. Thank you for choosing to contribute to the Simpsons Wiki. In the future, if you see a page that needs to be deleted, please tell an admin instead of re-naming it "Please delete!" TheShadowCrow 01:22, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry. I thought renaming it would work and that's all that I could think of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 15:33, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Copying from other wikis
Since I was notified that a template you created and one of your edits came directly from another wiki, I have deleted the template and removed the edit.

Please do not copy from other wikis. We should be able to come up with our own material by watching the episodes and doing our own research. The licensing used by wikis does allow information to be copied from one to another, but it has to have a matching notice of where the information came from. It will be better for our wiki if we do not have to keep placing a lot of "this information came from Wikipedia" or "this information came from another wiki" templates on our pages.

If we are using material from other wikis, especially if it is uncredited, it makes it harder to distinguish ourselves and offer something unique. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:10, November 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. At the moment I seem to be getting "told off" by admins. You did know that the wiki.net is mostly the same as this wiki, didn't you? It's because most people didn't like the new wiki look and moved to Shoutwiki. Then Simpsons Shoutwiki was moved to wiki.net for some reason. I only copied it because I needed to get off the laptop, but I did make a few minor changes to the text. Anyway, I've signed my comment: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 15:41, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, most of what is on that wiki is the same as here because they made a copy of this wiki when they left. They first went to Shoutwiki, but after that company had a major server crash and couldn't restore the info, they had to go to another location.

Now that they are in a new location, they are completely separate from us. Because they feel Wikia stole their information by not allowing it to be deleted when they left, they are very sensitive to seeing anything from their wiki copied back to here. If it is copied back here, then it does need to have a notice attached to it of where it came from, just like if they copied anything from us that was created after about December 2010 would also have to have a matching notice on their wiki that they got it from here.

So, it's less of a hassle for both wikis if we do not copy from each other. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:57, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

USC template
I deleted the USC template because that feature is already built into the wiki. If you type  User:RRabbit42 , the wiki will automatically fill in the user's name after the pipe and show it without the "User:" prefix. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:59, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Howdy
I would watch the episodes, but if I require a picture the quality would be too poor for a screen shot. Anyway as I was just saying you have my help, just ask. Also I am on chat pretty much all the time, but I might actually be at the computer.Jhonevans 09:34, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are already half the pictures of couch gags on the List of couch gags page. Also, I'm using Windows 7 which has snipping tool, where you can get a picture from what's on the screen. I'm just creating Squashed Bart couch gag (yes, I "multitask"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 09:39, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

New page sandbox
One thing to keep in mind while you're trying out new ideas for the main page is that search engines look at individual pages. The tabs you have for Featured, Seasons and News are "sub-pages" and wouldn't count towards the main page's search engine ranking.

We can still use the tab idea you're trying out, but use them as section dividers, like the Heading-Bar template that's used on the main page. That would provide consistency with the rest of the wiki and keep search engine ranking higher. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:32, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good morning. It's just a test that I'm doing at the moment. They could be renamed SWFeatured, SWSeasons and SWNews (or any other name). They could be like the tabs on my user page, but they do take a few seconds to load on slower computers. Also, if you can find that page, can you find this? While you're here, is Ferbot ever going to change the bullet separator? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 17:29, December 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * For the admin request, it's something that is supposed to be voted on by the admins and any members of the community that are interested. You just created that request just a couple days ago, so not everyone has seen it yet. I will try to put it in the sitenotice along with some other info about upcoming events.


 * The templates are going to be overhauled so I'll change the separator when I do those. I figured out this morning how to simplify them. I can replace the 115 templates we have now for the episodes with about 25 templates, which means updates for each season are a lot easier. Once I get that finished, other templates like EpisodePrevNext and those relating to the video games can be updated in the same manner. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 20:22, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you mean, but I'll go with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 17:37, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations, you're now officially an Admin! Good luck and enjoy.

Maggie Jr.
hey now look at the page its f***ed up and my pic was way better so put it back please. There are a few things I will mention:
 * 1) Add a title on your messages
 * 2) Sign your comments with ~
 * 3) Do not use profanity
 * 4) I do not know how the template got messed up, but I know what was wrong and I have now fixed it
 * 5) That was not a picture of Maggie Jr.

Okay?

 * I got it. They've been adding the same kind of false information on other wikis. Now permanently blocked here just like on the other wikis after wearing out their welcome. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:55, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

The Year
No, I don't think so... for me. it was enough because after awhile you start to run low on ideas.
 * What do you mean? I did leave a message on the forum, anyway. User:Randomno User talk:Randomno   17:11, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm suprised he's still gone. He kept on telling me all these ideas he was having to contribute to the wiki. I thought he was just going somewhere or something for a few days, but to change his status to inactive... it's pretty strange. I don't know why he's gone.

Noiseland Video Arcade Contest! Gold Award
Well done! You've won the gold Noiseland Video Arcade Contest! Award for December 2011. Feel free to add to your user page. Happy editing! User:Randomno User talk:Randomno  15:07, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message, myself. User:Randomno User talk:Randomno   15:07, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Mmm...
I don't know if you noticed, but the way I wrote "None!" for season 20 was consistent with how season 8's entry was written. By the way, do you have a copy of Simpsons World? It has all the Mms and D'ohs for the first 20 seasons, although it lists them by production code instead of episode title. Would be a useful reference for you to have. Digifiend 21:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, I see you're in the UK, so this might interest you - Simpsons World was £15 (instead of £95!) in The Works bookstore before Christmas. My local branch sold out, but I got it for Christmas. Digifiend 21:22, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. 'None!' did seem a bit of an informal term, and I didn't notice Season 8. By the way, on your signature, you might want to link to your user page as well (if you update it). User:Randomno User talk:Randomno   15:44, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Monobook theme
I remember you asking if I could fix up the monobook theme here. Do you still want that done? I know I was supposed to do it a bit after you had messaged me, but I ended up being out for a while. I can do it now if you'd still like it. –  Jä zz  i  20:38, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: Also, please message me on my talk page so that I'll get the notification at another wiki. Thanks. –  Jä zz  i  21:02, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
