Character Tabs
Seeing as we are both against the idea of the Character Tab System, shall I remove the template from the pages its been inserted on. I'm not sure how Kingcjc will respond, if he'll be happy with the idea or not?, but, shall I go ahead? 18:11, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go ahead and remove them. Revert the articles back to their last changes as well. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  20:14, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Will do! :) 20:16, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well done, ol' boy!
I saw one of your edited pages, and I was impressed! Kepp up the good work. TFwriter 23:58, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'm trying to boost my points too. Actually, maybe we should have rules on this achievement system. --Smiley12 was here at 03:07, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Putting up some new pages and wondering how to insert the character information window. Is there an easy way to do it? Natron82 04:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Redesigning articles of Guest Stars playing as themselves
For articles of guest stars playing as themselves, do you think it would be better if we separated the real life information of a guest star from the information only appearing in the show? For example, in one section we can put in the real life biography of the guest star while in another section we can put in the guest star's history within the show. Ldude893 16:11, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I would prefer two separate articles, one for the actor, one for the character. we used this style on Futurama Wiki. It should be Name (character) and Name (voice actor). I brought up this before but it was suggested they be put together. Lets ask again though, it will also improve our article count and if we can get good length voice actor pages, that would be great. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  16:14, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Im happy with this. So similar to what has been done with the Matt Groening article? 16:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. We need lengthy voice actor pages, including stuff about what they have done outside of Simpsons too. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  16:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll get to work on a few now. 16:18, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is Ron Howard (Character) the kind of thing you are looking for. Josegiraffio 18:55, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

antomously voting
I know that we as editirs can vote but can people that dont sign up can they still vote locke97
 * Of course they can. They should have a say in what they want to see on the main page too. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  18:32, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

"Buddies" with Simpsons Crazy
Hi. Did you email Simpsons Crazy after about our request to be "buddies" with them? I've seen Smiley's design of the button and it looks great. If we do this, it will open up a world of new editors, hopefully, fingers crossed. 22:22, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have emailed them. No reply yet. I emailed them yesterday I think. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  22:23, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. In the words of Homer Simpson - "Now we play the waiting game." :) 22:26, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Badges
I dont really get them but i need to write here to get a badge so i am
 * You don't need to write here. You want to get the badge. This is actually counted as spamming you know. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  07:50, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Really then ill ask a real question are you gonna ban me for that? im really sorry for it. ScarletScarabX  ( Talk ) 07:56, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry I didn't know the rule I know for now on. Thanx for letting me know though. User:Coreman7658

Shorts
What is the rule for the Ullman shorts regarding categories? They aren't episodes of The Simpsons, so do they belong in episode-specific categories like Category:Religion-themed episodes? -- Brian McClure 15:43, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. I guess that they count so they could go in the categories. What do you think then? ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 15:44, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the two may be about the same characters, but they are quite different in terms of content, themes, staff, etc. As such, they probably don't belong in the categories reserved for episodes of the show, because if we add shorts, why not comics, video games, etc.? Of course, that means that a new series of short-specific categories would be needed, which would just end up complicating things. Still, when one of 48 Ullman shorts has a religious theme (and even then, I'd hardly call "The Pagans" a "religious episode"), is a "Religion-themed shorts" category really necessary? So, I think we should keep the shorts out of the episode categories, but not go crazy creating a bunch of new ones. After all, they are just shorts. -- Brian McClure 15:54, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you have a point. The shorts are different and there are too few to warrant specific categories. They are not episodes so, don't add the categories to shorts then. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 15:56, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Another Episode Title Issue
Got another episode with two versions of its title floating around: Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe -- both with and without the comma following "Maya." It looks like Brian McClure just recently made the title change (adding the comma), so he may be in the process of changing the page titles for the episode's other tabs. Before I noticed the discrepancy, I created a References tab with the comma in the episode title, but it can be deleted as there's already a nicely-developed References tab for the "no comma" episode title. -- Mythigator 15:51, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * all sorted. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 15:57, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Nicely done. -- Mythigator 15:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Season 22
Solar Dragon, it would be great to stop reverting my edits. In my edits, the Treehouse of Horror and Elementary School Musical (which was acting weird) have a clear space. Thank you.
 * I only made it look like the others in the sake of continuity on the page. And, it would be great if you don't talk to me like that. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:41, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

What? I am just suggesting something.
 * Well, stop reverting my edits. I am keeping community. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:54, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine. (It does look odd though) Also, Thanks for fixing the codes 71.178.238.134 17:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hi, Solar. I've been having a few problems with Adventurecandy820, who is constantly adding photos at the top of articles (messing up the pages), which I have warned him/her not to. I've been very polite and not offered a warning, although I have left her a message. He/she was doing this all through the middle of last night, into the early hours of this morning - I spend most of my night reverting the edits. Please could you block her, as I do not know how? Or how do you suggest I handle this? Sorry, Im kinda inexperienced with being an admin and dealing with vandals. I hope you understand. 20:22, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Adventurecandy820 has been blocked, however please have a look at my talk page. He/she is using a IP address and has just left my a message. Her IP needs to be blocked too. 23:08, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it is the same person. They were editing yesterday in a different fashion. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 04:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

how come i have to delete my gallery???

i love to fart! from User:loli424 05:01, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admin & Bureaucrat
Hi. I've been meaning to ask you for a while, but what is the difference between a admin and a crat? And seeing as I'm not a crat, I'd like to know what it is. I thought they were the same? Do they do different things? 21:06, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Admins can just delete, block, protect and edit MediaWiki and some other things, i.e. badges. Bureaucrats can promote people to rollback, admin and bureaucrat while admins can not. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 21:08, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahh, right. OK, thanks Solar! :) 21:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia buttons
Hi, Solar! Sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. Im working on another wiki at the moment and would like to know how to change the colour of the "save page", "preview", "create a new wiki" buttons. I believe you mentioned to me a few months back that there is a generator on wikia central or something? Could you please provide me with the links and tell me how to do it. I know this isn't anything to do with Wikisimpsons, but I'd be grateful for the help :) 18:55, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. Just trying to find it now. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:04, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Took a while. I ended up doing random page on Wikia Help as i forgot what it was called. It came up on like the tenth time I pressed it. Anyway, here: Help:ButtonFactory. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:12, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Solar. Hope it didnt take you too long to find the page - don't want to waste your time! Thanks, anyway! :) 19:29, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Took me about 8 minutes. It is allright. I didn't have anything better to do. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:30, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks, man! --Simpsons Fan123 17:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Umm... for what? ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:51, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Villains Category
Wasn't the Villains Category supposed to be done away with? There's a U.C. (24.180.91.33) who's putting the category on characters such as Mr. Burns, Mr. Smithers, Sideshow Bob, Russ Cargill, and Lard Lad. And possibly even more while I've been composing this! -- Mythigator 18:21, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I deleted it and protected it from being made again. revert the edits and I will talk to the user. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:25, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The same U.C. re-added the category to Sideshow Bob and I undid it. I think a talking-to is warranted, if you haven't already given one. -- Mythigator 06:13, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am pretty sure I have. Looks like a block then. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 07:30, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I am new here. --Simpsons Fan123 18:31, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

season 23
Someone just created a page for season 23. Do we even need that yet? Bshardy 23:58, July 22, 2010 (UTC)



Do episode pages count as real world articals?
Do the main pages for episodes count as real world articals? I've noticed that some are in that catagory and some aren't. Bshardy 00:49, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, they do. All episode pages with the episode template should be in the category. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 07:09, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Background image
Hi. Although I love the overall look of the wiki, my compliments to the chef ;), I feel this image may make it a little more crisper and clearer >>> - it is being used on the Simpsons Channel website, however, Im sure it would look equally as good here. I understand that you probably won't use it, its just I thought it would look nice.  21:51, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Na, I don't think so. The clouds don't look like anything like the clouds from the opening sequence I'm afraid. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 04:56, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
Don't know what I did wrong with the page on Agnes Skinner, but after doing all of that....whew. Probably a typo

Edit was obviously yours that fixed it :)

Swifty819 05:26, July 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you typed two brackets (( instead of the two template bracket things {{. It took me a while to realise. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 05:32, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

European Countries
Look, the European Countries Category wasn´t unneeded, I lives in Sweden, wich is in Europe, SO I don´t think the EC Category is unneeded, because of ALL THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THE SIMPSONS have visited. P.S if you doesn´t believe me, just look for yourself.90.231.20.117 10:42, July 24, 2010 (UTC)90.231.20.117
 * Hmm, yeah a category for 6 things. Really needed when they are under Countries too. I have deleted it and protected it now. If you add that category again, I will block you. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 11:07, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

blog spam
you said i was leaving blog spam how did i do that locke97
 * I mean: "im a contributer yaaaahhhh" and "yes" on the should we enable achievements blog even though they were already enabled. You were just spamming to get the achievement in my eyes. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 08:15, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

New Catagories
I noticed we have catagories for some years but not very many. they skip from 2000 to 2005 I think. I would add them myself, but I can't figure out how to add new catagories. Bshardy 04:38, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Type: and then click on the red link at the bottom of the page and create like a normal article. ☆  The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 08:16, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Tv Squad Ref. Season 22
There is a problem on season 22

In TV Squad, they say that the Puppets are CHRISTMAS. Which is reffering to The Fight Before Christmas. You made it seem like a totally different episode.
 * All right. Sorry, I didn't notice. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:32, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks. Leave a message on my page anytime. Effluvium should be posting something. 173.66.58.40 17:39, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. TheSimpsons 18:18, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Umm, for what? ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:20, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * For everything. TheSimpsons 18:51, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

category
How do you edit a category? TheSimpsons 18:37, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit a category the same way a page. If you mean add a category, type: ☆  The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:45, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

I meant add a page to a category. TheSimpsons 18:49, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

A Page link. TheSimpsons 18:50, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, and like i said, type to add a category to a page. ☆  The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:00, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

You are telling me how to make a category.  'How do you add a link to a category????? TheSimpsons 19:07, July 26, 2010 (UTC)'

I am getting frusturated. TheSimpsons 19:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, you mean like this: Category:Characters. Sorry. Type Category:Category name with a colon before the Category: bit. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:30, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Where do I type that?

P.S. This is for the Make a Connection Badge TheSimpsons 19:38, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * For that, you just have to add a category by typing Also, if you are adding random categories just to get the badge, this can be counted as vandalism unless it is a constructive edit. ☆  The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:42, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You are a great editor TheSimpsons 00:21, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Marge
Hey, I cannot edit Marge. TheSimpsons 20:16, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is protected. Non-registered and newly registered users can not edit it to prevent vandalism to the high traffic pages. Once you are around for a while, you will be able to edit it. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 20:17, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * OKTheSimpsons 00:20, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Project
How do you join a project like project characters?

TheSimpsons 00:18, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just put your name at the bottom of the list. Just like you already have. --Smiley12 was here at 06:01, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

blog post
Do you have to sign a blog post?

P.S. Please filter all talk on to my talk page.

P.P.S Sorry for all the questions.

P.P.P.S This is for Opinionator. TheSimpsons 01:47, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you don't have to sign blog posts. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 07:16, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Got it. TheSimpsons 14:49, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

category
I am trying to get the tour guide badge, but everything is categorized.  BUT, ''' can i make a new category? or will you? If yes, make a category called Upcoming Seasons. Remove Season 22 and 23 from episodes Oh, and put it on the upcoming thingy. i will keep stuff running. TheSimpsons 15:06, July 27, 2010 (UTC)'''
 * No, we do not need any new categories. You also shouldn't do stuff just to get badges. And upcoming Seasons would be stupid. 2 things in there maximum - not wanted. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 15:14, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. TheSimpsons 15:41, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Just don't call me stupid. I already told you I am sadistic.

Now I am positive you dont like my edits. TheSimpsons 15:50, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't call you stupid and I won't call anyone stupid on this wiki. That is how enemies are made. I didn't call you stupid, I just called the idea for a category with two pages in stupid. And what do you mean I don't like your edits? ☆ The   Solar  [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon ]] ☆ 15:52, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nvm. Is there anything that needs to be categorized?

TheSimpsons 16:00, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Probably not a lot. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 16:01, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nvm, I created some character families and categorized them. Can I add a template needs work to a page?
 * Well, if you feel they need work then yes. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:26, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
