User talk:Airhogs777

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Airhogs777!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- MtaÄ (Talk) 15:32, 9 June 2009

Staff blog comments
Hello, Thanks for all your comments on the staff blog, but please don't highlight your text in the same color as staff. Users have mentioned that it can be hard to see where staff answers are, and so we are using the highlight to call this out. It will begin to be confusing if users start using the same color as well. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:58, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

AWA Updates
Hey Airhogs, you should create your own blog to post AWA updates. --Smiley12 was here at 21:12, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Black Wednesday?
Could you please clarify that term for me?

Also, the avatar console has been acting up, so I've been unable to change out my picture.

What exactly should I do for Black Wednesday, and how?

blog comments
Hi Airhogs, You have probably been one of the most active on the blogs, with quite a mix of comments over the last few weeks. I absolutely understand that you are unhappy with the changes, and that you want to express that, but I'd like to ask you to take a step back now. The main thing I'm asking for is that you keep your comments constructive - rather than sarcastic/humorous or angry. And I'd also like to ask you to give others room, rather than filling the comments list yourself. We've given you the space to express yourself, now please will you give others the space to discuss the changes. Thank you. -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 22:05, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I include replies to comments in the above. -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 04:54, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

please see

as i mentioned to turtle, I found the picture funny. You are welcome to repost the picture, but I think that is a bad idea.

Blogs
You are fueling the fire again... If you have something constructive (and you have had in some past comments) that's great. But please don't post for the sake of posting. Thanks -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 21:07, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the tips I had to leave very quickly from this one.

As I am Australian The Australian Pocket Oxford Dictionary spells Organized as Organised. As the 1970 Movie stated "We Are A Weird Mob" Down Under. Eridge1

Image of me
Hello,

I wanted to let you know that I am about to delete the image you made of me due to a conversation on my talk page. You can read more here. Please out of respect to these users, leave it as deleted. Best, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 23:04, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki farms
Hey Airhogs777. You have been reading and writing a lot about Oasis, Monaco, etc.. I wonder. Have you seen any wikis on other wiki farms that look good?

I mean are they able to customize their wiki, add detailed site navigation, show/hide tables, etc.. --Timeshifter 15:47, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hi Airhogs. You need to see this: I couldn't believe it either. So much contradiction and desperation, no consideration at ALL for other wikis below 80,000 articles.  --Havoc '48   03:14, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Your so smart.
Man you are so smart you know what your talking about.Yet the staff keep going against what you say and keep saying your fibbing so not true your so right.Also that forum about the Main page looks great in oasis is all so funny to read. 19:30, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

AWA Wiki?
Are you aware that the AWA wiki is about African Wrestling? XD http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png Frank - West  http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png 00:51, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * But on your user page it links to the wikia one. http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png Frank - West  http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png 14:22, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Comment suggestion
''You know what might make this skin more useful commentwise? Putting a notice-thingy on new replies on reload so users can see comments since their last visit. That might help.'' -- I agree (better than "Yah"? ;) I'll make sure it's on the product suggestion list -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 21:59, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

slight name change suggestion
How would you feel about changing the forum name to Forum:Anti-Wikia Skin Alliance? This will make it crystal clear we are talking about the skin, not wikia itself.


 * Actually the Anti-Wikia Alliance is just that, it is against Wikia itself, not just the new skin.--Eduardog3000 06:17, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Also some suggestions: Forum:Anti-Wikia_Alliance/comments I would like you opinion on. Anno1404 16:40, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I second those suggestions. --Smiley12 was here at 08:32, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * thank you. name stays the same, three suggestion okay. Anno1404 14:51, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

AWA
Hi, it's time for the AWA pages to move to their own space, rather than continuing to fill this wiki. I know that Shoutwiki asked something similar a while back, so I don't think it should be a problem for here either. Please can you do an export/import to somewhere off community.wikia, and I'll clear up the moved pages tomorrow. Thanks -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 00:43, November 9, 2010 (UTC) (p.s. I've also posted this to Smiley)


 * Hi, I saw your message to Smiley... are you ready? Everything moved/updated/whatever? -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 04:31, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for the reply. I'll leave Smiley another message and then get started :) We can always retrieve anything missed out of the deleted pages of course, so should be no problem. Thanks -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 19:03, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'm not sure about your blog. It seems weird to have announcements about Shoutwiki's downtime on the Wikia community wiki... but... I'll leave them for now and see what you think -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 19:11, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, that'll do for now I think.... I removed the AWA image with the Wikia logo in it too. I just replaced it with a deleted symbol for now.  Please can you also remove the Wikia W from your avatar?  (There's a page about logo useage here -- we ask that our logo isn't used inside other images in that way).  Many thanks, and please ping me here on IRC if you need too -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 19:55, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Airhogs, please point me to where the edward mediawikidump tutorial is now. Anno1404 20:57, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I've saved it 10 minutes before it was deleted, with all screenshots. 22:42, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank Edward. My questions to smiley and airhogs are:
 * why did smiley and airhogs go so easily along with the staff when the staff ask the page be deleted? Now all the links to the forum are red links.
 * why didn't they post a simple notice on the forum that the page was going to be deleted to give others notice?
 * If it wasn't for your Edward saving the day yet again, would all of my work been deleted?
 * Stellar leadership guys. Anno1404 23:21, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Communications
Airhogs. Maybe you can pass this on to the ShoutWiki staff.

I can't register at ShoutWiki, and so I can't communicate. When I go here:

http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup

the only thing I see is this message:

"out of captcha images; this shouldn't happen"

This has been true the last few days.

I want to communicate on the various talk pages there, and anytime I try to save a message on any ShoutWiki talk page, I get the "out of captcha images" notice. I can preview messages, but not post them. --Timeshifter 09:23, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Move
Just to let you know, the Dutch Harry Potter wikia has been moved on. Greetings, --Station7 22:34, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

shoutwiki awa
RE: http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice

The banner needs to be removed or updated:
 * "The New skin can now be switched on by all users. Many wikis have started leaving."

Thanks. Anno1404 22:44, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice shadow effect :) Anno1404 07:11, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Anti wikia skin Barnstar
Pass it on: Please share this barnstar with others!

Note: If this barnstar image is deleted, just as Forum:Anti-Wikia Alliance was deleted and protected by staff, the image can still be found here: http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/awa/9/91/Anti-wikia-skin-barnstar.gif

AWA link
Hey, on Forum:Anti-Wikia Alliance, there used to be a link to the Anti-Wikia Alliance. I've found it and bookmarked it so I can easily access the page, but why did Charitwo need to take out that link and lock the page? It just seemed a bit unnecessary to me. Wad dle   D33  02:29, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * waddle, link to the old edit with the external link. Anno1404 18:00, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

regift
Here you go, reworded slightly, added link:

Good idea to emphasize we are against the skin, not wikia itself. We will get more support if we emphasize out opposition to the skin only. Anno1404 18:00, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * the reason i did not link to shoutwiki, is people are getting booted and losing their leadership rights when they link to other sites. Just to be on the safe side. I don't want to give them an excuse to boot me. Anno1404 01:14, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Here is what I am posting, it shows that you love the concept of wiki and/or wikia, you just dislike the recent management decisions of wikia :-):

THANK YOU FOR THE USER BOX! Anno1404 20:40, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Adminship
I see that you and smiley are the only two admins on the site. Can you consider expanding that, maybe edward would want to be also.

I just find that I need to do something, and no one is around to ask. This comes up occasionally. Like changing the outdated banner... Thanks Anno1404 20:37, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Ban
Not to be rude or anything but how was Smiley banned and not you? Back when you guys started the AWA, Smiley was always the more civil one--God (Pray)  07:30, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Spotlights
Hi. Most of the spotlights you see are not requested by the wikis; they are chosen by the content team, based on other criteria (frequently current topics, wikis that are growing rapidly, etc.). If you request a spotlight you have to meet all the selection criteria; this was simply set up as a way to make it manageable. We can't spotlight every wiki, so there has to be some minimum "standard" for wikis to achieve before asking, and then it has to be applied evenly. In other words, no, there is no slack for the requested spotlights. It's possible they would spotlight your wiki anyways for a new Shrek movie, but if you want to be sure, go ahead and finish filling out your stubs and make the request. Also, you'll want to request far enough ahead; the timeline from request to spotlight appearing can be anywhere from 2-6 weeks at the moment, although 3 weeks is probably typical for wikis that make sure they meet the criteria before asking. -- Wendy (talk ) 16:54, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

New pages
How do you make pages, such as User:Evanf/Sigor stuff like that? Because I need to know how. Thanks. - Evanf

No, no. That's a burden on you. Thank you. - Evanf

No Thanks. If I do need your help, I will contact you. Thanks. -

I do have one question? How do you make blogs? -

Actually
When I asked adoption of Code: LYOKO wiki, I meant this page. 3... 2... 1... Let it Rip! Max042599 18:30, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Hello. Could you please advertize my wiki? http://imaginaughts.wikia.com/wiki/Imaginaughts_Wiki? I know its a unusual question, but, i need more ppl on it. THX!

Re: Rail
The only upcoming change for the rail is the addition of the Gaming Calendar for Gaming Wikis, changing where the rail is on user pages come UPPV3, and possible Quiz/Poll data in the rail (or was a few months back). They have plans for changes and extensions before it is committed to the repository.

An example is Wikia now saying that they will make a adaptation of the SearchLog extension cause they don't like how we at the RSW use Sitemeter to see all searches that don't lead to an article (including IP addresses) versus previous statements of saying no. If they do commit to the addition to the rail, be sure to check the TRAC log every other day. It's taken them over three years to get 40,000 revisions, so I don't expect such a change to go unnoticed (and once it has been made, try seeing if the author enabled it on their Dev box).
