Calendar
I was thinking something like this:

Today is ,  , . Today's Daily Quests are , , , . Today's Baking Quests are  and . Today's Spice Jars are , , and .

Either that, or the first line and a link to the tables with that info. Looking a bit into some templates we already have, I figured it could calculate the day by doing(Weeknumber * 7) + Daynumber + Displacement, and subtracting 84 until it reached a number 84 or lower. Displacement would be the number the table is at on the first day of the year (for 2011, it would be 21). For the week number, it would do ceil(Cycleday / 12). The name of the day and the regular timestamp can just be from magic words. I'm not quite sure how to handle the quests yet, but I'm sure if we can tackle the date we can do something for the Quests.

PS, Today is 75, Thursday 11.

Thanks for your help! ~Monchoman45 Do you know what that feeling is? You're jealous that your city doesn't look like a Jellyfish. 21:28, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sovq,

Just wanted to say that I've been appreciating your contributions in the forums. You're very helpful to members. Thanks so much! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:14, April 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it feels good to get a pat on the back every once in a while :). Sovq 20:41, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

You Got It Right
"So you want the users to use two templates? One for the data and one for the color theme? Sovq 21:57, April 8, 2011 (UTC)" You said it better than I could have but how would I go about doing that.--Nk3play2 01:45, April 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I found the switch parser function, but I don't know how to go about adding it to the template, Template:Infobox Soap character. Can you show me an example involving a show name and with a specific color.--Nk3play2 22:30, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for your help, that is exactly what I was trying to do.--Nk3play2 20:02, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Deleting images help
Hello, I read that your bot can delete all of the unused files on a wiki, is it true? That would be exactly what I need on my Inazuma Eleven wiki as the unusued files are all either duplicates, really poor quality images or unauthorized fanart. Could you help me out? --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 08:58, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already backed up the woodmark, favicon and badges and I am okay with everything else unused being deleted. I will give your account admin right immediatly. --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 11:08, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the help! --源田幸次郎 ビースト ファング！！ 08:23, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would recommend you to learn how to put some sort of timer between deletions, to prevent so much strain to the servers. Specially for files, since they put strain in both the database server and the file servers. That would indeed help the recurring caching and missing image problems around Wikia. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 14:00, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, you're right, my bad. — Sovq 14:13, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Unused Files Deletion Help
Hello.

I am in need of your bot to clean up the Unused Files section of our wikia. The site is http://peacekeepers.wikia.com/wiki/Peacekeepers_Wiki.

Let me know what I have to do, if you have time to help.

Thanks!

-Brandfrontier

Follow-up: I do not know how to give SovBot admin rights. I am limited in my wikia knowledge, sorry for the trouble.

Yes, I DO want you to delete the files in the Unused Files section.

Thank you
Thanks for this! — Spike Toronto  15:02, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're welcome :) — Sovq 15:27, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

DPL help
Hi! Since you told me I can ask you to set up a DPL here I am! So.. I'm trying to make a template for admins which will list the pages candidates for deletion and the users requested to be banned... for example:  category = Candidates for deletion include = {Delete}:reason:1 format = {| class="wikitable"¶!User!!Reason for deletion,¶|-¶|%TITLE%||,,¶|} </DPL> This should produce a simple table with a list of pages candidates for deletion with why they should be deleted. The problem is that the reason can be provided as either a free parameter and as the "reason=" parameter. So if they're both present (in different templates) they will be put in two different colums, while I want both of them in "reason for deletion". Is there a way to use a logical OR like :reasonOR1? Or to force the call in the table like this?
 * -¶|%TITLE%||#REASON# #1#,,¶|}

Also, a doubt about the "replaceintitle" parameter, if I want to replace a subpage like /sub/ how can I do that? Because if I use  the first "/" won't be replaced. And are there jolly characters?
