Deletion tips
Hey, saw you're message to Angela in recent changes: if you want to permanently axe bad edits, you could try deleting the page, then restoring only the bad edits, then moving the page to another one like User:Dantman/delete or something, then deleting them there. Then they'll be out of the article history for good.

And by the way, the thing on the top of your talk page is a link to starting a new section in Angela's talk page, not yours. I'm gonna fix it, but revert me if that's like, somehow intentional.  Scott ch  11:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * T_T That wasn't intentional. Though just to note, editing that here won't do much good. The stuff for my userpage is all shared from the Animepedia. The stuff should be edited there so that all my pages are affected when I clone and bot it out. But it's not the edits that I'm trying to kill, it's uploaded pronographic images which need removing from the server. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 16, 2007 @ 19:17 (UTC)

Hey
Hey its halofrkxl admin of fma.wikia.com and i would like it if you could help edit the wikia and add to it. Thanks.:)

hi Dantman. I accidentally clicked "Dismiss" on Fantendo. Is there any way to make it show again? Max2

Bot flags
Is it the Ghost in the Shell Wiki where you want AnimeBot and DantmanAWB to have the bot flag or did you mean something else? Angela talk 19:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Bot
Hi Dantman. I'm not that good at bot-creating things, so if you would create a bot family then it would be nice (: It's on []. The word to be corrected is "Optrædender", and the word there shall be written is "Optrædener". Is it possible for me to do it without your help afterwars, if i discover more wrong words? you can just answer here. - Bakse 16:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Btw, as i said before, i no nothing about bots, so if you need Admin-status on Danish Wookieepedia, then contact me - Bakse 17:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I created a bot family for you. Click the raw link beside the starwars_family file at my Pywikipediabot page. And use Save As or whatever your browser has to save it under the name it shows families/starwars_family.py which of course the families folder is inside of your pywikipediabot setup. Follow the instructions at meta to setup things first. You can use this command (cd to whatever directory the framework is in first)  As you see the in the first "" is the thing to replace, and the second "" has the thing to replace with. -start:! tells it to do every page in the main namespace. If you want another namespace use something like -start:Wookieepedia: depending on what other namespace you want it to run in. You'll also half to ask one of the Community Staff such as Sannse to give an account Bot status then you can tell the Pywikipedia bot framework to use that user to do the work. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 13, 2007 @ 08:10 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your help! I'm really glad that you helped me :) I have asked Sannse, but there could be some places that I don't understand in the bot setup. I'll contact you if there's things i don't understand (: - Bakse 18:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I wrote the whole thing of :)
 * Hi! It's me again. I just can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have saved the raw file as families_starwars_family.py and made the user-config.py file as the guide said. Then when i open run and type it as the guide says, this message is shown:

Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]  Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.  C:\Documents and settings\Bjarke\cd\ C:\>cd\Python25 C:\Python25>python families_starwars_family.py  Traceback : File "families_starwars_family.py", line 2, in         Import family ImportError: No module named family C:\Python25>login.py  'login.py' blev ikke genkendt som en intern eller ekstern kommando, et program eller hatchfil.

(The last part is danish: 'login.py' was not recognized as an internal or external commando, a program or hatchfile.)

Maybe it's just me who is dum at this, but i just can't get it to work (: you can answer here. Don't laugh to much at me :D - Bakse 18:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You're not supposed to try to run a family, that would never work. The framework automatically grabs the family file it needs. Also, it's supposed to be families/starwars_family.py so it's not going to work right. You'll need to save the file under the name starwars_family.py inside the families directory inside the directory you saved the pywikipediabot framework. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 15, 2007 @ 18:40 (UTC)


 * Hmm.. okay. I found out with the directory.. and now i will try to come further (: - Bakse 19:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

JS drop down menu
Hi. I added a monobook javascript to have a language drop down menu here. I didn't write it my self, so I'm not very sure how it works. But I tried to make another one for choosing a range of Occupations from another drop down menu. Would you be able to take a look at it and tell me if I'm on the right path here it is. I tested it and it doesn't seem to work. Again, I have no previews experience with js so I might be making everything wrong. --Steinninn 14:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Would it be to much trouble for you to try and write it? I tried to understand these terms that you are using, but it's a bit complicated for a newbie. --Steinninn 18:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * So, was it all just the wrong id in the template? Anyway. Do you mind if I take you off the sysop list, just so that people know who to contact for help. I just don't know if or how I can do that. --Steinninn 19:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will. At least I have one person out there that can help me with sysop jobs in the future. Well, I'm all good for now at least. After your help I'm all set to go (c: --Steinninn 20:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Lol, interesting... ^_^ Tech Team is nice... But unless there's a way for me to work, from here without having to travel, and with very light work for awhile I can't take that right now. October 1 is when my post-secondary education starts, and I have 6 quarters of that, then I should probably work in the Gaming Industry for a little while at least before I'm stable enough to move over to working for Wikia. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 22, 2007 @ 21:50 (UTC)
 * Wow! Congratulations! Central Wikia Administrator...that's an honorable badge to wear...and you don't even mention it on your shared userpage! Such modesty! ;-) Again...you have my cheerful congratulations on your successful RfA. I wish you good luck, and as an Uninvited Junior Internist Cabalist of the Central Wikia Cabal, yes, Tech Team would be awesomeness with Dantman. *RR stares at Datrio and Splarka* Umm...not saying that the current Tech Team is un-awesomness. ;-) Cheers, Relen tless Recu sant http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK •  WORK   • SPEAK 01:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I only see Graphic Design stuff on that page. ^_^ I'm going to the Art Institute of Vancouver's Visual & Game programming course. My area is the big gaming hub. There's something very interesting to note. My graduation is March 2008, and Electronic Arts big hiring spree where they're going to be bringing in a lot of programmers starts April 2008. (Though I thought it was earlier) I might half to recheck the dates, because I remember something about my graduation and portfolio fairs overlapping with EA's hiring spree. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 26, 2007 @ 01:34 (UTC)

Help!
Dantman, as you are an admin, can you rename an account? I created the account "Barraki" and I think I mistiped my password. And I didn't enter an e-mail adress. It is possible to rename or delete the old account, for me to create a new one with this name? Thnk you. 160.228.157.202 09:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Accounts can't be renamed or deleted because of the shared user database. But if you talk to the staff a tech might be able to reset your password. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Jun 4, 2007 @ 13:25 (UTC)

Dear Dantman,

I formally award you the Bronze Taskstar (http://images.wikia.com/central/images/e/ed/Bronze_taskstar.png) for your great work with Template:Era and Template:Eraicon and their associated pictures on Halopedia. Add it to your userpage somewhere, if you deign. ;-)

Help with Skin
Hi. "Somehow" I managed to screw up this skin and accidentally I omitted some messages that should not be hidden. Namely on the Wikia navbar and on the bottom tab. Can you help? ―  T hailog  16:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey... stuff...
As you quite possibly already know, I am quite good at beguiling Jack Phoenix to do my will. I've got access in #swfanon, an account on wiki.jackphoenix.com, etc. Anyway, since I've got an account there, I started talking to him aboot the index.php?title= stuff, he said you'll fix it, so I said I could fix it and asked for SUPREME ACCESS!!!, and he just said to ask you for all the sexehness so I'm like you and can fix stuff like that and do crazeh smart stuff an' all that... so if you have any idea what I just said, I'm asking you for all the sexehness, like he said to. =D BYE!!! -- GPT ( talk )(eating) 22:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. You know all those times I hugged you and all that stuff that you don't like? I was just messing around, you know, but if you really didn't like it, I'm sorry, and I won't do it again.

Turn Your Userpage into a Template?
Hey Dantman, Think you could turn your userpage/talk page into a Template for general use on the WikiSocial Wikia? If you'd like we can talk on MSN or you can leave a message on my Talk page. Doesn't matter which one you use.  Will SWC  01:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The elements used wouldn't really work well to be used. The only reason I do it this way is because I can't edit CSS for what others see on my userpage. If I could, I'd do this in a much different manor. It doesn't work right in other skins, and because there are no skin specific Magic Words I can't fix it up to work right in other skins. This is just a cheep hack, since it's for one wiki it would be best to come up with another method using your Common.css and using Skinname.css to tweak it to work right in all skins. A better way for the skins to be viewed would be if Wikia had an improved version of the UserStyles Extension installed. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) tricks Jul 28, 2007 @ 04:52 (UTC)

Template:Morehubs
Hi Dantman -- I saw that you updated the Morehubs template and the hubs pages, to put the "More Hubs" button inside the box. Unfortunately, that messes up the centering of the title. Here's screenshots so you can compare. I'm going to move the button back up above the box. If you want to keep working on the design, please let me know, okay? I've been working a lot on these hubs, and I'd like to keep on top of layout changes. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
