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)

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)

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)

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)
