Kirkburn category
Hiya Kirkburn, I have removed Category:Kirkburn from your user subpages and deleted the category. Angela has stated that it's a bad idea for individual users to have categories would result in categories being unmanageable soon and I agree with that. I suggest using Special:Prefixindex/User:Kirkburn to keep track of your subpages. :-) Regards, --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, fair enough! I wasn't sure about it in the first place. Thanks :) Kirkburn (talk) 22:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hiya, your sig on your post w:c:Spore:Talk:Main_Page goes to your user page on SporeWiki. You can set this in your preferences to always go to this talk page by putting this in the "Your Nickname" field Kirkburn (talk),  angies (talk) 20:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I did! The "w:" verison of the wikia link is broken on there. :) Kirkburn (talk) 21:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Can't get my main page's logo to work
There's an internal error that is getting in the way of it... blast. What should I do? The guide didn't cover anything like that, I think... -- Goketsuji Fan 22:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Welcome
Sure I'll adopt the Bioshock Wiki, if you want me to. Grubish360 13:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Logo
Hey Kirkburn. Of course it's ok if you use the logo I made. That's why I made it. :) JoePlay 04:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Requesting sysop on bioshock wikia for semi adoption
i would like to help cleanup the bioshock wiki. the delete requests are starting to pile up, and also there are naming conflicts and/or pointless redirect loops that need cleaning. also some pages need moved to better pagenames, but to preserve edit history, moving overtop is required (and thus delete rights is needed). i've also written up a post in bioshocks's forum on why specifically i originally needed sysop help, but after checking the last contribs of both the sysops (you and grub) neither had edits in the last ~30 days. --Uberfuzzy 13:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorted. Kirkburn (talk) 19:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I felt it needed some kind of answer :) Kirkburn (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

RE:Hullo there!
Well, the only things I can think of are some of the characters listed in Category:Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division. Also, Able and Fox companies (both of the 1st Infantry Division) have a lot of red links of unmade soldiers' articles. Chiafriend12 17:15, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: Mass Effect Admin
First off I want to thank you for the vote of confidence in me, and secondly I would be delighted to be an admin. If you could point me in a right direction for maintaining a wiki then that would be great as I don't know everything yet. Again Thank You.

AoC Wiki
Hey Kirkburn, thanks for dropping by the AoC Wiki.

Might want to have a quick snoop at http://aoc.wikia.com/wiki/User:Daworm/quartz.css

That is the current CSS implementation we have worked on so far which we plan to eventually put into and make default for the quartz theme.

Under the, the white which you removed would then view correctly as the main body would have the coloured background. We're aiming to go with the gaming skin on the wiki, with some modifications to it of course. Daworm 04:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds cool. :) Kirkburn (talk) 14:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Basilicus
Thank you for your interest, but I don't think Basilicus counts as a gaming wiki. Basilicus is a worldbuilding wiki, like Conworlds or Myra. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your intent, but any game associated with Basilicus is based on the wiki, not the other way around. --Brilliand 02:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Call of Duty Wiki
Hi I like the welcome, thank you comrade!

I was just wondering could i upload the images to the Call of Duty series page for the box art/logo for each game. and then i will set the licence as copyrighted like they do on wikipedia, would that be okay? Anarchyuk 17:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy Holidays
A wiki card for you

huge ads
Hi Kirkburn, sorry to bother you , I have a technical question, in the arabic uncyclopedia we have the ads so huge that they are overlaping on the articles , we can't see part of the article because of that , is there away to adjust the size of the ads so it won't cover all the friggin article , thanks Classic 971 10:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not really the person to deal with this. I see you have pinged sannse as well, so I shall leave her to deal with it. Kirkburn (talk) 10:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
Just saying thanks for the welcome, looking forward to filling in as many of the gaps on the Mass Effect wiki as I can, I'm pretty much always creating some sort of database of information on a RPG type game. Only questions I have deal with the Wanted list, just wondering how often it updates and why there seems to be so many of the red link pages missing from the list. Other thing which is connected to the first one is if a page is on the wanted list due to being spelled wrong but the spelling is fixed now will that item on the wanted list disappear eventually or would it have to be created to disappear? I'm actually new to wiki editing so sorry if those are beginner question's I could easily find somewhere else. Galren Creptus 01:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Cool :) Kirkburn (talk) 16:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I've checked, and it's up. However, unlike the halopedia link, it doesn't show images. Did we do something wrong, or is this the wrong link: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starcraft2/wiki.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs;wiki

PsiSeveredHead 22:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the Gamespot wiki page disappeared! It now redirects to http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starcraft2/index.html which no longer has the wiki tab. Halopedia's tab ist still up. PsiSeveredHead 22:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your FYI Comment
I read what you said about my skills under FYI on the Club Penguin Wiki. I did not like it. I am actually a very experienced administrator, and am very good at blocking. I am quite serious with my blocking, and am not a lousy administrator. I do not abuse my power, so before you insult me as you did, you better do your research. I am quite liked on the wiki where I am the administrator. SO THERE! Here is what you said:

"Admins have a responsiblity to the wiki, and they should not throw around bans lightly."

I do not "throw" my bans. I block those who swear, add junk onto pages, and other naughty things. I also block those who offend me and other users. I will not block you, as you probably made a mistake, and because you seem like a very good user. I just wanted to let you know that what you said was rude, and it hurt my feelings. Oh, and who is Sansse? I have never seen him edit before.

Jesus Loves You and Died for You!! :) :) 21:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I Think I Can Do My Job Myself
TurtleShroom is right you are annoying. I simply blocked Peach because there are quite a few Christian users (I do believe but have no religion but I could understand how they feel it's quite offensive to them). I did not do this in any way of me abusing my power. I just barely turned 11 and I know how bad they feel when they see something like that, honestly did you join to criticize people or to help wikis?

Starter wiki
Saw the message you left over at the Half-Life Wiki, where I'm the new local 'crat. First off, thanks for the suggestions. However, while the Starter Wiki seems like a good idea... everything being locked there sucks. I spotted a broken link and went to check it, only to find out I couldn't. Why does it have special permissions? It just seems... well, unwiki. EVula // talk // 06:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Given it's the base wiki for all new wikis, we can't risk any vandalism to it whatsoever. What broken link did you find? Kirkburn (talk) 10:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I can understand the stuff that is strictly for copying and pasting being locked down, and am not suggesting changing that. But some of the other stuff could/should be left open; what happens if someone comes up with a nice idea for something? As it stands right now, you can't even leave messages for anyone. I understand that, because of the purpose of that particular project, fostering a community isn't a big priority, but still...


 * The broken links (I've since found more) I found are on c:starter:Help:Starting this wiki. The "go all out" link in Item #4 needs a "c:", as do the Muppet, Bioshock, and Lost links in section #2. Right now, they just go back to Wikia proper.


 * Though this wasn't my intention when dropping you a line, I'd be happy to help check for further links if either (a) you change the site's permissions or (b) I get a sysop bit so I can edit (I've got plenty of wiki-experience, so it's not like I'm likely to accidently delete the Main Page). It would just be a hell of a lot more convenient for both of us. :) EVula // talk // 16:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

If I happen to run across anything else that needs fixing, I might just go ahead and bug Sannse for the access. EVula // talk // 23:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've fixed those links! The entire wiki is the base wiki, so there is no part that can be left open. To request access I would recommend talking to one of the community team, like User:Sannse who should be able to help you :) Kirkburn (talk) 22:09, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll do that, though it might in a few weeks. I like the idea of the Starter wiki, like I said, but I'm fairly busy right now, and what little time I have is being spent reviving the Half-Life wikia project. I should probably not overload myself. :)

Re. AceWiki
Yeah, I frequent the Wikia Gaming IRC Channel. I know it exists. -- 16:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed. I'm putting up the notices so others who may not have heard can find out :) Kirkburn (talk) 16:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

CreatePage
Very Nice :)

Well, with that said... is there a way to have it load the CreatePage and have a certain tab selected by default? Or will it always show the first tab regardless?

IE: Someone wants to create a guild, so they click the "Create Guild" button and it takes them to that page and automatically has the Guild Create option up there?

Daworm 23:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Just realised something else, how do we have it create the page into a Namespace? Daworm 00:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Two very good questions - I'll see what I can find out. Kirkburn (talk) 11:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

CreatePlates
Thanks for setting them up on the Lost Odyssey wiki. Is there any way to apply the CreatePlate templates to existing pages, or must they be manually edited? Marco0009 19:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Templates
Hi, this is Atrumentis from the Diablo wiki.

Firstly, I'm having a bit of trouble using templates and finding a list of all the templates on the Diablo wiki. There doesn't seem to be a list, I kept clicking links but they kept leading me in circles. It'd be nice to have a list of all of them and some easy instructions on how to use them. The current instructions make them seem so complicated.

Secondly, I would like to create a new template that deals with the skills of each class. For example:

Template heading: Necromancer Skills

Subheading: Summoning Spells

- list of all summoning skills -

Subheading: Poison and Bone

- list of all poison and bone skills -

Subheading: Curses

- list of all curses -

(They are officially called 'skills', but the sub-category of necro summoning skills are called 'spells')

I don't know how to do it myself, but could you show me?

Atrumentis 05:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, I have a question. Am I allowed to copy text and tables in regards to the game part of Diablo from the Arreat Summit? Because they pretty much have everything we need for the game side of it, it would be much easier to just copy what they have. Our wiki could also improve on what they say, but for now at least, can we just copy their info? I think its allowed, especially if the info isn't theirs in the first place (but sometimes it is). Atrumentis 06:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

AoC Project
Hi, Kirk! I spoke with Catherine about a project involving Wikia and Age of Conan around a week ago, and she said that I should talk with you. Did she get the information about the potential project to you? Do you prefer something other than e-mail, such as IRC or Skype, for primary work communications? Please use my talk page on Wikia Central to respond. Thanks! --Lilithia 12:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
