User talk:JoePlay

Hello
'''This is my main User Talk page. Feel free to leave me a message here.'''

Hi, would appreciate if you could teach me how to resize the photo in adobe premiere pro, thanks.

Hey, can't remember if I showed you this, but there is a cool welcome template you can use to greet new users [] angies (talk) 20:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Joe, this is Michael, I got your message over at www.completemasseffect.com...I've had a good time doing the Complete Mass Effect Wiki and want to continue it. I don't mind the hosting costs. We've already got a pretty good size community of visitors and editors so it is already beyond me and so I think we'll continue with it. You could consider contributing to our site.

RE: Wiki_wide.png
My guess is that it was unused and I didn't see what the need for it was because there was no explanation given. However, its also possible that it was deleted because it was not deemed RuneScape-related. Recently (July) the RuneScape wiki made a policy that only pictures to be used in the mainspace articles could be uploaded to the wiki. This has greatly reduced the number of irrelevant (and inappropriate) images that we receive daily and "fake" images that some (though few) users occasionally claimed to be real. It makes things a lot easier for administrators to regulate. I'll restore the image if you either use it somewhere (I'm a bit anal about there being files in unused images) or you give me a reason as to why its needed, like where it will be used. Something in the description area at least. Please reply on my RuneScape wiki talk page again. Christine 23:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In that case, I've now placed it here. Thanks for the update. Christine 01:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki template
Hi Joe,

Interwiki templates need to be in the template mainspace here on Central to work, not project. I've fixed your user and user talk templates, and you can link to these from any Wikia using or.

Regards,

RE: Admin on AC Wiki
Why not? I'm not sure how well I'll do it, but it sounds like fun. :P

So far the wiki seems fairly stable, with little to no vandalism. Shame that it's still little to no content; butI'm liking the way it's going with ToS's walkthrough and the pages we are expanding on linked to it. My assumption is that the page will grow as the users play the game more. And as more people play the game and come here for help. (here's to a high google pagerank, so they can find us...)

Minor point, while I'm here: Is it possible to set up some sort of automated bot or w/e to crawl through and spell Altair's name right? Sure, we could go through and add the special character, but this makes more sense somehow...something that could be working 24/7.

Ban
Hey, how do you ban IP addresses from editing? There's some vandalism going on at the Assassin's Creed wikia. Some of which I believe deserves no warning but immediate ban. Tearofscarlet 18:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * If you are an admin use Special:Blockip. If you are having problems and are in urgent need of assistance I suggest you use the Wikia IRC Channel to get in touch with other admins and Wikia staff and volunteers. -- Manticore  Talk 19:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Greetings (StarCraft wiki)
First of all, I really appreciate the offer.

Second of all, umm... help!

I'm the top admin simply because I'm one of the top two or three contributors (in terms of quantity; quality if another matter). I'm not a computer person as such and know nothing about backgrounds, transparencies, or any such technical issues. I can't even make decent templates without a lot of hand-holding. Pretty much any technical change to the StarCraft wiki was from when Angie, Kirkburn or someone else came along and changed things for me.

I noticed the white-on-white links but hardly paid attention (I usually use the black/blue-on-white skin) and have no idea how to fix that. PsiSeveredHead 23:04, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I was just playing around with the new skin again and noticed many templates, such as template: unitbox, don't display the text properly. (Same color text and background.)

If you can show me how to fix that, I can fix all those templates. PsiSeveredHead 23:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, please show me that. Anything to make the wiki look better :) By the way, will that have any impact on visitors who don't use the gaming skin? PsiSeveredHead 00:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Just one more thing (I hope)...

On the white backgrounds, the blue links are pretty hard to read. Otherwise it's working great. PsiSeveredHead 00:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to your help, and stumbling upon the search for templates page, I've been able to edit the templates so they can be read on either skin.

Except for the scroll box template. I edited that one so it would always have a white background and black text, since it the example on the Karune page uses lots of blue text (hard to read on the dark background) but the section titles are always white (which, needless to say, makes them invisible on a white background). Do you know of a way to edit those colors as well? PsiSeveredHead 17:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Mediawiki Plus or New Widgets?
At the Halo wiki, I noticed there's a bunch of "extra mediawikis" on the right side of the page. I was wondering if those were new mediawikis or new widgets? Either way, do you know how that's done? I think the StarCraft wiki could use some extra sections like that. PsiSeveredHead 21:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Mission Template
I have a "mission template" at http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Mission that looks like it could use a bit of work. The title sections (eg name, conflict, combatants and commanders) don't stick out enough on pages where the template is actually used (such as "Fall of Tarsonis"). I've tried using bold but that didn't work, nor can I figure out how to increase the text size. Can you help? PsiSeveredHead 21:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

hi thanks for the greeting
im geno whirl. thanks for greeting me, im looking forward to work with you too!

Thanks for greeting me
I think I'm going to enjoy editing wikis.. :)

Thanks for the Welcome!
Hi there JoePlay, just wanted to say thanks for the welcome! I'm pretty busy with my main Wiki, The WarriorsWiki, with all my Bureaucratty duties, but I'll work as hard as I can on the SSBWiki. Anyway, just wanted to drop a line and say hi, so hi. Eulalia459678 ( Salaman dastron ) 00:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
I look forward to being here. Thank you for the greeting, and I hope to work towards enlightenment.

New Foum
Hey Joeplay, I was trying to make a new forum on the SSB Wiki but I did something wrong since now whenever a new topic is added no template preloads to link back to the forums. Could you look into it? Thanks. Bonko24 14:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank You. Bonko24 22:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

SSBB
Hey JoePlay I have a question. In SSBB is there really 10 new fighters? I heard there's Sonic and Wario! Please answer, Masterman

Help with my User Page
Hey JoePlay, is there a way to have the same User Page (Writing, Data, etc.) in the other Wikia websites? If there is, please tell me. Thanks, MarioGalaxy

Where my User Page went
JoePlay, my User Page is gone. Everything! It took me half the day to work it. Can you try to find out what happened? Thanks, MarioGalaxy

User Page
JoePlay, I found my User Page, I think it's because my computer froze the internet for a sec, but I reloaded it. Also, I didn't start my User Page in Central Wikia, I started it on this Wikia. Will that affect my user page on the other Wikia websites? Answer this whenever you can. Thanks, MarioGalaxy

Mini wikis
I was browsing through the mini wikis when I found |Super Wikio Bros. and aBrawl mini wiki. I see no content on the mario mini wiki, no recent changes and it looks like the founder realized a mario wikia already existed. It my as well be deleted. As for the Brawl mini wiki, it has a few active editors but the SSB wiki covers all their content. I left ShadowUltra (who I think is the founder, or at least the most active editor) a message about merging but no response. Bonko24 20:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Waiting forever
ok, He wont answer, Is there anything you can do to help? Mass Effect Wikia. I am sick of waiting for this. Can you please Help Joe Play? 01:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC) also, my sig is br0ken.

SSB Wiki on Gamespot
I see that the wiki is already on display on gamefaqs but is it coming to gamespot? Bonko24 22:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Asking for some Wiki help.
I was wondering if you would be able to assist me with some help, cause I am trying to fix the Lost Odyssey wiki but I am completely new to the Wiki and editing or creating topics.

I would like to be able to put the achievments in a table sorta of set up so it looks nice and clean kinda like the spells where done. I do not know how to do that. The reason is I kinda made a big change to the way it was done by adding the pictures and the correct gamerscore's also removing the Normal Achievements from the Secret Achievements. If you can help me do this please let me know so I can set it up or would be nice if you could.

Kibakichi 10:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It was my pleasure to do it, since I know it can look and feel a little better when you are able to see something to the achievements =). I had fun doing it and that was the first time I did any edits to any wiki's and it was fun.

Re: Admin
To be honest I don't have that much experience with Wiki editing. What all is involved in being an admin? (Oops, forgot to sign) Marco0009 00:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * After thinking it over a bit, I accept the offer for the LO Wiki admin position. My e-mail is marco0009@gmail.com if you need to contact me privately about anything.Marco0009 01:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool! (Nintendo Wikia)
I do have a question though - How do I add it to the sidebar? This may seem a bit pathetic though I'm not the best when it comes to Wikia! Thanks! --Bentendo 19:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, that's fine! Anyway, thanks for doing it!

Joe -- I believe that has already occurred. Marco inducted me into the site's management sometime last week. --Cold Justice 21:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
