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)

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)

What Animated Women Want/Appearances
Yeah, about this, I accidentally put all the References tags underneath, because I thought it was a Reference page. So, sorry about that. PS. I replaced them with Appearance tags ;) MrBadgerLol 15:43, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and I just wanna ask you summat, for The Simpsons Movie/Appearances I was thinking, could I delete all the characters, copy them to word, and put pictures in their place (with the names matching of course XD) But I just need your approval first, I don't wanna delete them and you to get the wrong idea with all the characters' names vanishing... MrBadgerLol 15:55, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Standardizing the Appearances pages was something I saw needed to be done a while back. Some are a list, but others have the pictures showing the characters. If you want to simplify things, you can leave the page sit in edit mode while you copy the information to Word and make adjustments from there. Then paste everything back into the web page, check it with Preview, and if it looks good, save it then. Just put something like "adding a picture to each character" in the summary. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:35, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. Will do that. May take a while, but, it'll be worth it, and fun, I guess. Lol. Erm, so yeah... I'll get to work on it. :) MrBadgerLol 18:03, February 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can't do it all in one go. I'll have to do it in installations. My computer has severe Broadband problems. MrBadgerLol 11:44, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wait, by installations, I mean every 30 or 35 characters then I'll publish, edit and continue, just to be safe. K? MrBadgerLol 11:58, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

P&F Wiki
Sorry to post it here, but I currently can't edit on the P&F Wiki.

1) Have you decided on the Trivia sections for the episodes? I'm ready to start implementing the sections once you give me clearance (and once the blocks on IPs 182.18.208.2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are lifted). I can't add the sections immediately without your permission because I suspect that some users will try to stop me again.

2) You really need to check the "AgentGoldfish" thread.

—— Wi Ki AN 17:37, March 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have been able to remove the blocks. Patrickau tends to be a bit more strict when blocking users than I am, but I also have additional notes that help me figure out if it's a new or returning user causing problems.


 * I have also been somewhat following the messages regarding Agent Goldfish. It's been a long week, and now the wiki has a glitch where I can't respond to anything on my message wall. So, that issue is going to have to wait until I have had a chance to get some rest and Wikia fixes whatever it is. They were probably trying to upgrade the editor and that broke it.


 * Likewise, I am going to wait before I can answer the Trivia sections. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:08, March 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Could you also end the block on 182.18.208.0/24? Whenever I try to edit, it shows my current IP address (usually 182.18.208.4 or 182.18.208.6) and says I can't edit because 182.18.208.0/24 is blocked. Not my IP so I'm guessing it's part of the range block effect. Oh, and just reminding you about KinHikari's admin nomination and SunBeater3k's rollback request. And the current PF background still has the gap. Thanks in advance. —— Wi Ki AN 14:05, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * That range is now unblocked. I missed it before. I will start work on updating the voting and the nominations in about an hour.


 * Regarding the Trivia sections, one thing you could do would be to copy the page you want to work on and create a new sandbox page to test your changes there. That way, we can see what you have in mind before it's put into widespread use. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:49, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

That person came back in the last hour, so I had to set another range block for a day. I will let Patrickau know not to make the blocks permanent. Unfortunately, since you and they are on the same ISP, this is going to keep happening until they get bored of being blocked and go somewhere else. Sorry for the inconvenience it will cause you. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:22, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm still blocked so sorry but I'll have to leave this request here. The Continuity section of "My Sweet Ride" needs to be replaced with None. (this is the fifth time if I remember correctly) Both are trivia. The first sentence is already in Background information while the second needs to be moved into Background information. Thanks. —— Wi Ki AN 01:34, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Just reminding. Thanks. —— Wi Ki AN 05:14, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to bother. Adding to the above, Could you unblock the IPs for 2 days then block the IPs again for at least 2 weeks? I found a number of stuff that I need to do on the PF wiki and my own wikis need to some of the source codes. But I don't want that person coming back (that person might come again at April 1st) so I'm requesting that the block be only temporarily removed. —— Wi Ki AN 13:46, March 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I am heading off to work in a few minutes, but I will try to get to all of this tonight. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 13:48, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Good to hear. Have a safe trip. —— Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 13:54, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

PF Wiki Trivia sections
I made the sandbox for the Trivia sections. I used "Road to Danville" and "Happy New Year!" for the examples. Section arrangement and content was according to the guidelines you gave. Sorry for leaving this here. I was able to use one unblocked IP to edit pages but I can't seem to post anything on message walls. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 06:32, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Just reminding. And can the blocks on my IPs be removed now? It's nearing 2 months and the blocks are set to indefinite. I'm able to edit as one of the IPs is unblocked, but I have to refresh a page 4-11 times before I can get to the right IP. Thanks and good luck with the new house. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 10:31, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have unblocked those IP addresses. Hopefully, that person got bored not being able to vandalize and went elsewhere. As for everything else that you've asked me about, I will try to work on those this weekend. I don't think there's anything critical I need to do that would keep me from working on those. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:51, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Much appreciated. Since I can now use Message Walls, I'll await your reply regarding the Trivia sections on the PF Wiki so as to not add anymore non-Simpsons discussions into your talk page here. Thanks again. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 08:31, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

I hope I'm not obthering you, but I have a question regarding PF adminship: Do I meet the requirements and can I nominate myself? I've read the page but I'm not quit certain I do meet the requirements and if anything on the page says I can't nominate myself. I'd like to be admin so if that person ever comes back I'll be able to unblock the IPs when I need to edit and then block the IPs again when I'm done, and I noticed that KinHikari became an admin before I did. I am usually online whenever Patrickau and KinHikari are offline so vandals would have less opportunities to vandalize the wiki if I become an admin. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 22:50, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Bart Simpson Comics Question
For the stories in each comic, do we make separate pages for those and work from there? Or do we keep it as is and put a plot for each story listed on the comic page? In my opinion I think we should make separate pages for the stories. Reason being, if we do them on one page it will create a large clumped mess.

Plus each story has their own front covers as well. Also if we were to list the characters in all of the stories in one page, many would not know which ones appeared in which story, causing confusion. I mean in the 53rd issue for example, Francine appeared in only one story not all of them. Just want to hear your input on this. <span style="background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #444 35%, #000 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #444), color-stop(65%, #000)); border:1px solid #006400; "><span style=" ">  IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  |  Talk  <span style="border:1px solid #006400; border-left:0;   background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #006400 35%, #006400 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #006400), color-stop(65%, #000)); color:#006400">  . 23:34, May 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * If we were going to separate them into different pages, then we really should do the same for the Treehouse of Horror episodes because those have several stories in each episode. What we can do is if there would be a section that would take up a large area on the page, like a gallery or the appearances list, we could move those to a separate page. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:18, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

I see. Well I would like to see a plan for this before I do anything (like an example for instance). Once I see that, then I'll get to it. As for the Treehouse of Horror episodes, I have also been thinking about the same thing since day one, but I really haven't thought up about it until I started doing the Bart Simpson comics. <span style="background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #444 35%, #000 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #444), color-stop(65%, #000)); border:1px solid #006400; "><span style=" ">  IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  |  Talk  <span style="border:1px solid #006400; border-left:0;   background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #006400 35%, #006400 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #006400), color-stop(65%, #000)); color:#006400">  . 16:37, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Gags Pages
I was wondering, do hidden things such as background posters and the like count as gags? If not, would they go under a subheading of ==Stuff you may have missed==

Yeah. I took that from the episode guide lol ♫ Mr   Badger   Lol  ♫ 18:15, May 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that would qualify as trivia or the "Stuff you may have missed", rather than a gag. When I added the Gags page to the tabs template, I was thinking of recurring gags that could be moved to a separate page instead of occupying a good chunk of the References page. It was also partly because of wanting to detail the variations on the title sequence after they expanded it, but that may not be a good idea any more since they cut so much out in a lot of episodes. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:27, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think I see. But there aren't that many recurring gags in the series. And since the title gags are in the episode pages anyway, I'm unsure of that. I think that a gag would just be like a little joke, not necessarily a quote, but a visual joke. Do you agree? Or...? Any-who, that's just my opinion. ♫ Mr   Badger   Lol  ♫ 19:18, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

The girl with pigtail's name
I'd like to point this talk page out to you (I don't know if you are aware of it, so I do apologize in advance if you do).

Quotes
After having one of my edits undone, I wish to query: Do we really need so many unnecessary quotes at the head of Bart Simpson's page? Catchphrases, yes...but just randomly picking some quotes of Bart's from the show is hardly needed or wanted, as it just clutters up the page and is turning it into a 'gallery' of 'things Bart has said'. If anyone wants to hear/watch anything significant Bart has said in the show, surely a simple reference would suffice, not paragraphs of text at the head of the page. It seems to be poor page-layout in my view, especially considering the head of the page should be soley for the introduction of the character and a list of statistics (father, mother, age etc..) Magik2005 (talk) 08:16, August 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * A "pull quote" like what's at the top of his page is supposed to be an attention-getter. Something significant that's worth pointing out. And there really should be only one at the top of the page to serve as an introduction and give you an idea of the person's character.


 * We have a Cquote template that makes them stand out a lot more:

I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?


 * Since there have been 24 seasons of episodes and season 25 will be starting soon, we need to move character quotes and galleries off to separate pages, organized by season. Until that is set up, move the quotes on Bart's page down to a new section and just leave one at the top. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:00, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Possible Character Design Changes
What are your opinions on these two characters?

Do you think these two could be the same characters, just redesigned a bit? I also have reason to believe the same occurred for these two.

Character Pages
Should unnamed characters that have made a significant amount of appearances in the show need a page? Reason I'm asking is because I've been noticing that some unnamed characters that appeared in the post Simpsons Movie era episodes have been seen in previous episodes. . 06:15, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

A New Direction

 * Note: see the "Update" section below for important news about this.

I've been thinking, "let's turn this wiki into a giant image archive".

I mean let's look at the record, too many newbies doing things that we don't know what to do with, neither of us can keep up. At first the only reason I became an admin was because Wikisimpsons was being relentlessly unfair and I wanted to be fair. But now, the only thing that site doesn't truly allow are galleries (something that we've been doing nothing but). And it's not as if that site doesn't have its share of issues. One of their contributors writes in pure Engrish and no one is translating it. But aside from that, they have ALL the content, but unlike this site, it isn't as easy to find and doesn't have as many people.

For now, I'm not saying that we should delete our hard-typed articles, but we should move any information that they don't already have to their site and start editing that from now on. As for the images on this site, there will STILL be organization here, since there's no point in letting this site fall into clutter. Oh and the articles will still exist. But more on that development later. --Kid Sonic (talk) 15:32, September 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * My initial thoughts are that is not a good idea. First, saying "go to site A for content and site B for pictures" is a bad decision based on natural Internet behavior. Once a person goes from one website to another when clicking on a link, the tendencey is to stay on that new website and not return to the one they were at before. For myself, I have to open the link in a new tab so that when I'm done there, I have the reminder in a different tab of "oh, yeah, I was looking at that before". I'd forget about the first site if I didn't use tabs.


 * Second, we could do what you suggest and link to the other wiki for content. But you know as well as I do that they would not provide links back here to the galleries. All the traffic from this wiki would be one-way in their favor. The resentment Solar Dragon has against Wikia is not going to go away. Even before what he did back in 2010, I found messages he left on another wiki that shows he tends to hold onto grudges. So, as long as he is a part of that other wiki, there would not be full cooperation between the two wikis.


 * So what can we offer? You already identified one of the main things: a friendlier atmosphere. I asked Wikia to unlock the wiki so that people didn't have to have an account to edit here. We get some people as a result that don't make great edits, whether because they're a kid or because they think being anonymous helps hide them. But then again, we're not turning them away by forcing them to have an account, nor are we being harsh by stomping on them for a bad edit or two.


 * As to the other wiki having more information, so what? We're not required to have everything relating to The Simpsons. We'll get there eventually, but if it doesn't happen immediately, that's okay. A wiki is an invitation for people to add what they know about a subject. It's not a competition and it's not mandatory. Those two are, I think, how Solar Dragon feels about wikis. Part of the grudges I mentioned are that if he feels he's been hurt, he views it as a war and he has to get back at them. That's not an attitude and behavior I want to be associated with.


 * I haven't done a lot on this wiki recently because of working on other things or just being tired. But when I do edit, it's because I want to. I also have a lot of books and comics I've bought recently that I can go through to see what can be added here. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:34, September 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Here's an example of what I mean by a friendlier atmosphere. I have been looking at the block log on a different wiki. There are several instances where the admin will block anonymous users for six months for making one poor edit. Some of those weren't even vandalism. They could have just been a mistake or a misunderstanding. The admin sometimes goes back a few hours or a day later and removes the block, but it seems like he is being overly harsh for very minor things.


 * I have been on the receiving end of that kind of treatment by an admin who had made up her mind that I was trying to cause problems without taking the time to listen to what I was saying. That's the kind of thing that I don't want to happen here. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:30, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

After thinking about this some more, I am going to have to turn down this idea. Different wikis can exist on the same subject because they each meet different needs for different people. To say that there should be only one wiki is like saying only General Motors should make cars or only Samsung should make TVs or only Chiquita should sell bananas. Having only one brand of car or TV or food isn't a good answer.

We wouldn't have iPhones and iPads if everyone had said, "Well, I guess I don't really need a Macintosh because I can just buy a computer with Windows". Porsche wouldn't be around to make sports cars if the son of the founder of Volkswagen hadn't decided he wanted to make his own car.

If there's another wiki about The Simpsons, that's fine. They have their advantages and disadvantages. We have our advantages and disadvantages. If there's overlap, that's also fine. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:36, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Update
Wikia has just announced a partnership with another website to where that website will link to here and will make use of the episode descriptions we have. There will be more details shortly.

So even if I were inclined to merge or shunt info off to somewhere else, we now have a really good reason not to: What we do here is going to be seen by more people outside this wiki. It's a great opportunity for us to show how much we love The Simpsons and share it with this new audience. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:00, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion for Achievements
Small suggestion here. How about a Treehouse of Horror achievement?

Eg:

Ghost Maude 1 edit

Werewolf Flanders 5 edits

Clobber Girl 10 edits

Witch Marge 25 edits

Bart/Fly 50 edits

Maggie Rigellian 100 edits

King Homer 250 edits

Kang and Kodos 500+ edits

So, how about it?

New Simpsons Videos
Hi RRabbit42! I am writing to give you some exciting news - Wikia Video has recently received some fresh videos on the Simpsons. Many of the videos embedded on wikis come from sites like YouTube and often become unavailable when they are removed or taken down for copyright violations there. To help provide a reliable and legal option, Wikia has licensed thousands of videos for use on your wikis from several content partners. These are all found in Wikia Video. They are viewable worldwide and Wikia has the full license for these videos, which means your wiki can use them anywhere you like.

Through a quick search, I found this set of videos for your wiki. Please let me know if you need any help adding them on your community, or have feedback on the videos. We will start adding videos if we don't hear back from you by the end of this week! Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 20:59, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've been doing some thinking, what is your opinion on putting up a Tab (Template) for the characters (the same one as for the episodes) to avoid clutter in the main page?

 * I was thinking about the same thing, which would let us split off things like the gallery to a different page. I need to get back to overhauling the tabs and can quickly make a separate one that will work for the characters and games. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:33, October 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure whether games and characters should have the same tab (if that's what you meant) because otherwise the "Extras" page would have no links to it. Unless it was put in the article itself.

 * What I meant is that there would be a new tab template for characters and I reminded myself that I never got around to updating the tab template that's used on the games. Right now the games tabs are done using the old method of five different templates for each of the tabs that have to be displayed.


 * Just come up with the list of sections that need to be moved into a new tab and I can start working on them. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:18, October 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * For characters I think just general, biography, references/triva/, appearances, quotes and gallery.
 * For general, just basic facts and stuff like that. For biography, key features in the character's run of the series. Quotes would be either just the character talking or a small conversation, any others would probably go in the episode. For gallery, we'd just move all the images into that section. References/Trivia would be those two, mistakes (ie. continuity or animation-wise) and "Behind the Laughter". Appearances is self-explanatory, but it shows all the episodes that character appears in. For characters that appear in every episode, " List of Episodes ". All pages would include the "Character" category. Appearances includes "Episodes" because it shows episodes. Biography would contain a new category: "Biographies". Quotes, Galleries, Ref/Triv would all be the same as episode tabs. But with the character category too.


 * This is subject to change, should you wish it to be.


 * Thanks

The Simpsons Guy
I was just wondering, di you think this episode should be part of this wiki? When it comes out of course.

Rollback
Can you promote me to a rollback? I am very qualified and have amassed about 170 edits here. CalzoneManiac (talk) 02:42, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Hello. Haven't really made a proper edit here for ages and I recently started editing Wikisimpsons again so I thought I'd check back here. Has anything interesting happened while I've been gone? (I see the titles are in Akbar.) Also, what do you mean here?:
 * changing to make this an official policy since it has become clear that the other wiki is not interested in any sort of compromise

 * Actually, yes. Wikia has a partnership with the Rotten Tomatoes website so that the episode descriptions here are also shown on their website. We have some adjusting to do on the pages to make sure we use the right keywords and all of the correct sections of the episode description are transferred. I also started work on streamlining the tabs a bit more, which makes them simpler, easier to update, and fixes an issue that showed up recently where the right side of the frame kind of runs off the side of the page.


 * As for the edit where I made that a policy, I've just never seen anything that indicates Callum has changed his attitude about this wiki, so that's trying to head off a few problems before they start. In contrast, as long as they continue to use phrases like "beating its Wikia competitor", "stealing content" and his edit from earlier today that said "Or Solar Dragon will get mad again and refer to himself in third person", that tells me they (or maybe only Callum) still harbors animosity towards this wiki.


 * Personally, I'd like to see you edit one wiki or the other instead of dividing your time between the two. But as long you're not an admin there, it's not a conflict of interest if you edit on both. Hopefully, the chance to see things you add on this wiki also shown on a well-known and respected website like Rotten Tomatoes might encourage you to choose this one. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:12, November 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you really want to hit big you need IMDb. :p When you say tabs, do you mean the actual Tabs or the content inside them? I did some work on the Tab template over at the other wiki so you just need to type regardless of whether it's a reference page, appearance page, etc. (it's not implemented yet though).


 * I don't think the main "hatred" for this wiki is the wiki itself, just Wikia. I don't exactly see what compromise there is. The wiki license (CC-BY-SA IIRC) allows copying content when sourcing is included and we would prefer images not to be copied. Working together is pretty pointless as 90% of the content is the same.


 * I'm editing at WS at the moment and don't plan to change. I only checked back here quickly to see what's going on. I find this site a bit of an outdated clutter (e.g. the main page has been the same for ages) to put it as well as I can. User:Randomno User talk:Randomno   20:01, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here Callum says he doesn't want rival wikis. User:Randomno User talk:Randomno   20:12, November 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * The tabs are the tabs template. I'm still keeping it so that you specify what kind of page it will be for, but the code is quite simple because it's modular. As for a "rival" wiki, I have never been concerned about there being more than one wiki on a given subject, so any feelings of a rivalry or a competition are not coming from me. Anyone who believes this is the case is operating under a false assumption. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:02, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

Admin
Can you please promote me as an admin please? I did undo vandalism on some pages like the Dr Nick page.

 * I had been looking into those changes for another wiki so I do know a bit about them. I will try to start on them this weekend. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:52, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
