Welcome!
Shoutwiki is currently down - no one can access it. Your account here will still be here whatever although you'd have to create a new account on Shoutwiki unless you made one before the moving.--Sgtcook (My Talk Page) 17:02, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Adopting this wiki
I have started a forum to discuss adopting the Simpsons Wiki and have listed you as a candidate for doing this. Please go to that forum and update it with whether you would or would not like to adopt it. We need to get this process going so this wiki can move forward. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:25, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Finalists
You've already seen the Finalists section I put into the adoption forum, but I just updated it after finding out that co-adoptions are allowed. This makes it simpler and faster. Both you and Trakira2189 would get Bureaucrat rights. Please head on over to the forum and let us know if this meets with your approval.

I've shortened the voting time because I want to get this resolved quicker. There's two other big issues that we'll need to discuss, but we have to get the adoption taken care of first. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:01, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

admin rights
Hi. Per the forum discussion I have granted you admin and bureaucrat rights. Good luck with the wiki! -- Wendy (talk ) 02:59, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Requesting admin rights
I realized this morning that I actually would like to be an admin here. There's work to be done and I'd like to be able to do more than simply fix edits. So yes, I'll take you up on your offer and please grant me admin rights. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:18, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Deleted pages
I thought I would move the discussion about deleted pages here. When you're looking at a deleted page, there is a View/Restore option for admins that lets them look at the deleted page and undelete it if necessary. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking about. If not, let me know.

To completely get rid of a category, first you remove that category from the individual pages. Then, if no one has edited the category page, it goes away automatically because no other pages are referencing it. But if anyone edited the category page, you have to delete it. --RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:08, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

There are currently Two pages for Lisa Jr from Missionery:Imposible,

one of them should be deleted, your the user that does that now right.

Matt Phillips 21:42, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

User rights
I saw the change in user rights you made earlier. A bureaucrat automatically has admin rights. One bureaucrat cannot remove the rights of another, so that has to be done through Wikia. I will have a forum ready shortly to discuss that and a few other issues. --RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:47, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcoming
Thanks for welcoming me Daniel, I hope to do well on this wiki. Mr. Ifans (  Talk  ) 23:13, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting me, I'm not sure where i slipped up with the grammer, but will be extra careful in future. I created the pages about the people who intrested me, but I understand that may not be benificial to the wiki, so will limit myself. I am quite new to wiki's so its good to learn :) Thanks (Snowballdacat 12:47, November 5, 2011 (UTC))

Why did you put my pages up for deletion? I thought the whole point of this wikia was to expand it greatly until it becomes to ultimate source for all information to do with The Simpsons, the pages you have out for deletion are all relevant to The Simpsons.Jhonevans 07:07, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I didn't write anything for the photos I recently uploaded. As for the sizes, I will default them 250x.

Jhonevans 06:59, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to be a pest, whenever I I try to get rid of the thumbnail it becomes full size, how do I fix this?

Just chatting
I will be staying on this wiki. Mainly because this one seems a lot more professional. In addition, I find it difficult to see how the previous administrators so easily abandoned their years of work. Anyway, I had plans for mass expansion of the wiki, which would involve me spending a week on a single episode, adding as much detail, characters and categories. I hope this will assist in the respectability and size of the wiki. I might start this very soon as the holidays in Australia draw near.

In addition, although I am a fairly new user, I am interested in an administration position. I just read the requirements, perhaps I will wait a little longer, as I am still not 100% familiar with wiki standards and policies. Anyway! I just wanted to express my interest. Sorry if I’m perhaps spamming obnoxious questions, hopefully we can create a wiki that will one day be the ‘go-to guide’ for any information on The Simpsons.

Jhonevans 09:34, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Thanks for your help. I have something important to ask. I've noticed in the most detailed episode pages that the appearances have photos of each character. I myself have been attempting to clean-up the "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" appearances, but is overly complex. For example: If I were to add a higher quality image to a stub, the low level quality image will remain, so it would also have to be replaced. This is not only annoying to edit, but it will cause many problems in the future for any future pictures. I was thinking that this use of images in appearances should be down with. Beyond actual difficulty, it often looks very unorganised. I would like to ask permission to delete all images on appearance pages, so I can continue to make extremely thorough appearance pages.

So with your final permission, I will begin the deletion, and a much easier project to expand the wiki, get back to me as soon as possible, as I am anxious to complete all the appearances of season 1.

Best regards,

Jhonevans 09:52, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Friend of Homer badge
Hi. The 25 edits on the wiki badge and the 25 edits on character pages are both called "Friend of Homer". To avoid any inconvenience, I thought the character edits badge could be renamed "Friend of the Simpsons". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 07:57, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

I am Leader
I am Leader!

Anyway at the moment I am speaking with the other wiki. I am trying to sort some arrangment out. Do not worry I will not leave. However, I am attempting to get something sorted out and my greatest hopes are for merging of wikis which accomidates both functionality and a level of attractiveness and ease. I will keep you posted if you wish.

Jhonevans 09:18, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Stuff
No it wasn't photoshoped. I actually editted it myself. Anyway I am not sure if you will be able to see the link. I am just talking with Solar and Cook, want me to say anything to them just tell me what.

Stay on the chat thing, or give an email or something. This here is too slow...

Go on chat so we can talk please. Jhonevans 03:03, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Golden Homer Award
Should we bring back the Golden Homer Award? Jhonevans 15:00, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * If we're going to do something like that, we will need to decide what the criteria is to earn it. We can use the old criteria as a reference and see if it needs to be changed. I recommend that we come up with a new award name and a new picture (and ones to replace the Silver and Bronze awards) since that is something that came from the old admins and they are still using it. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 17:21, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you want me to 1. delete the Golden Homer Award and create a new one. 2. Keep the Golden Homer Award page with another created. 3. Rename The Golden Homer Award and add new criteria above the older criteria. Once you tell me how you want them to be set up, I will go ahead and do all the page work, than you can just edit what you don't want, I will think up a name but if you don't approve than again let me know. Jhonevans 15:08, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also is a fancy name necessary or can we go with something basic like editor of the month and most frequent editor of the month? Jhonevans 15:10, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cleaning up user rights
Since I didn't get the forum about removing user rights created at the time I first discussed it, I've had a little more time to think about what to include. I think I've come up with a more diplomatic way to address this. I will try to get this done in the next couple of days. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:23, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

ideas
Sorry for spamming your talk page, perhaps we could exchange emails or something of the like. Anyway i had some ideas to get a lot more turnouts. Because I've realised me just churning out heaps of articles won't be enough, we need to do somethign that will get people into it.

1. I think the additional badges are doing quite well, people seem more pushes to do edits, and I will be watching more closely for spamming, I've already given one a warning, but that was for blogs, which we cannot disable.

2. I think we should update home page greatly.


 * For one we need to have a poll and our new awards system high above. I reckon a new poll should be made, something along the lines of best family memeber, than have the 5 main characters. People will probably vote for "Maggie" as it will be a hipster vote, but still I think it will be more encouraging than the older poll we have.


 * Also, the new awards system will help. I think we should have the highest quality editor (as well as runner-up, because if we have one guy who does 100 good articles a day he will always win) and maybe a most edits award - it would be made very clear that spam and throw-away edits will elimate you and possibly lead to blocking.
 * Maybe we could also bring in feature article of the month. This would involve people making the best quality article possible. Not only will this help respectability and quality of the higher trafficed pages, but also created GREAT edits, instead of spam.
 * Finally, we need to priotitse our main page. The polls and competitions should be on the very top, as well as winners of that current (previous) month. It should add more interest etc.

3. An app! That's right, Apple is ever growing and surpassing Microsoft, Let's jump on board and get our own app. Anyone on the go who wants to know anything about the Simpsons, there it is. I don't know if edits would be something possible (or good), but just browsing through apps would be great.

Problems: If we start all this we will probably need more rollbacks and trustworthy people to help us moderate. However, I don't think we need any admins for awhile. Spam will increase, but spam comes with any good site.

Those are ideas that i would really love the execute in the coming week or two. Please get back to me ASAP, and if we can talk through email instead that would be a lot better, or even Facebook.

Best regards,

Jhonevans 07:21, December 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was the one who enabled the extra badges. I think it is working fairly well. People seem to be more encouraged. Noobs are getting much closer to the leader boards, but that will just cause more competition. Anyway keep me posted about everything as I very interested in updating our front page. Also I have a few ideas for games. For example I have my friend will try to make a quiz for the wikia. There is a twist though, say there will be a 1000 questions in total. Someone will answer as many questions as possible (with a time limit to prevent cheating). Then we can see who gets the furthest. It will be random, so it could be who is the died during season 5, or what is Homer's last name. All random and people will compete to get the most questions. Hopefully we can get a leaderboard. Anyway! With the front page I am too worried to touch anything. I'm gonna try to get this quiz done (maybe a "which character are you"). We should put these as one of the blocks one the front page.


 * Anyway, I might just redo the whole Golden Homer page and leave it for you guys to make any changes you don't like. I am not getting much feedback from RRabbit at the moment so I will just go a head with a few things, and problems just role them back. And with the app, I will do some research and try to make one.

Admin rights
RRabbit42 and Jhonevans supported me to be an admin (here), and they agreed it in chat. Jhonevans just suggested I leave you a message, so I am. You can guess, can I be promoted now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 11:50, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Promotion
Thanks for offering. We should be done with electing administrators for a while, but it might come in handy to have Bureaucrat rights in case we have to go through the process again and you and Trakira don't happen to be around at the time. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:44, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * We've been discussing in IRC about getting a few people with rollback rights, so I'd like to have the Bureaucrat rights to be able to speed that process up. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:23, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Awards
Due to the inactivity of many users (including Jhonevans for a some weird reason), you're currently going to get the Bronze Noiseland Video Arcade Contest! Award, even though you're ranked ninth on the leaderboard. By the way, do you know anything about Jhonevans' inactivity. It didn't sound like he wanted to leave at all. His last contributions were fixing an image, removing his monthly edits from his user page, and changing his admin statusn to inactive.

Cadenm11
Is being blocked for a month an appropriate amount of time for Cadenm11's edits? This might just be a kid that's still in school instead of someone who is deliberately trying to harm the wiki. I haven't looked at the edits very closely yet, but it might be better if we try to work with him so he can improve his edits rather then blocking him for what may be nothing more than a minor nuisance. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 09:30, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Description

Back
Glad to be back. Well at the point was making a film and had future writing plans. And if you couldn't tell, I spent almost all my spare time either editing the wikia, or watching Simpson episodes so i could edit later. So my friend said I should just leave, and I agreed. It's either all or nothing for me, so I just went cold turkey. But I looked at the site everyday, so tempted to edit... So I decided to comeback, but editing will only happen when I have spare time from higher priorities, so at least for a year I won't be back to my 100+ editing ways. Glad to know I was missed though. Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 18:27, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Moving
I must bring it to your attention that Randomno (and partly me, but not really) are in the process of considering a move. I doubt I will move, but anyway. A few admins have created accounts on here from Wikisimpsons, including "Solar Dragon" and "Cook876" or SgtCook. Now if we do decide to leave (which seems likely for Randomno, we are considering a merge. They are being really friendly and really want us to join our community and are doing a fair amount to accommodate us. I must go now, but be more active with the involvement please, they sometimes have meetings on chat. Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 21:24, January 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned, I am not too keen. I am actually doing other things and will slow down on editing on this site anyway. I just mainly check up and clean up, I won't be the page maker I once was. Also, I will unblock them as at the moment we are speaking diplomatically and I am watching their activity very closely. So far none of them have made any suspicious edits. Anyway, I most likely will not leave, but if I were too I wouldn't edit anymore than I plan to here. I am just going with this as Randomno (as I once did) is wondering whether his edits are a waste of time or not, seeing the other wiki is beyond us. And since they are being a lot nicer than usual, I am being pen to discussion, but don't take it as I am going to destroy this site and take off.

At the moment they wish to speak with the both of you (Shadow, Rrabbit), so let's organise that somehow. Even if nothing comes of it, I think we should in the very least try to resolve in personal woes we have for one another. So let's try to organise something, I will keep you posted. Shadow, I might unblock the person you blocked just till these discussions are over.

P.S. I think this would be a prime opportunity to start bringing in some capturing features in if you two (as I am sure you will) choose not to leave. But let it be noted they say that you're welcomed (not saying it's true or not). Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 08:51, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Mr. Wobbly (Solar Dragon replied on my talk page. Do not block as we are in discussion now. Anyway, I guess we should try to keep the whole conversation just on my talk page for ease. Please get your replies in as I wish to gain something from this, whether it be mended relationships, gained enemies or a merge (although I would want them to come here).


 * Also, they might be able to have achievements and the Oasis skin if we join (just mentioning it)

In chat at the moment
I saw that you made an edit a few minutes ago, so I'm hoping you'll see this and come on the chat so we can talk for a bit. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 21:50, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

TheCadenm11 just left some vandelisim. I undid one of his edits, but the other one was him creating a page called "Simpsons simpsons" filled with nothing but the word Simpsons over and over. I would have deleated it, but only an Admin can do that. Bshardy 06:19, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Simpsons Wiki
Okay, you know I changed wikis (hopefully), so I'm just asking all the admins why they spend time here. Bearing in mind, I did move because this wiki has 8,079 articles which grow VERY slowly now, and Wikisimpsons already has over 14,000, so please don't reply "because I think this wiki can get better, we've got to try first", well, we have tried. Now Jhonevans and I have gone, it's going dead. 16:30, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
