Signature
Templates are not allowed in signatures. Either substitute it or have its code directly as your signature. You also shouldn't be going back to previous posts to update your signature, as that just spams up the recent changes. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 03:40, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * My apologies for not reading the rules closely. Since Wowpedia allows templates in signatures, I assumed it wouldn't be an issue. I have adjusted my preferences so that it substitutes. Just as an observation though, it seems a little neater to have just a template on a page instead of the whole code, even if the code abides by the 250 character limit. I do understand the complications that may arise by changing a signature template that could potentially be on 100s of pages. Thank you for the heads-up. I'm also going to use your "span class=nowrap" idea there if you don't mind. I incorrectly used a  before my previous signatures. -- Kanegasi   ☺ C 12:23, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's less code, but since people potentially post thousands of times, that's a lot of pages to update when the template is changed. For most people it's probably not an issue, nor do they change their signature often, however it would be impossible to individually deal with who can have a template signature and who can't, so it's easier to just ban them completely. (P.S. Your signature would be much sorter without that alt text. It only does something on images, pointless having it on text.) –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 13:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The alt/title codes change all mouseover tips, not just images. I didn't like "User:Kanegasi", "User_talk:Kanegasi", and "Special:Contributions/Kanegasi" in the tips. I see the custom ones. In fact, my previous sig above has different tips since I had to shorten them a bit to use the nowrap. IIRC, alt is what IE uses and title is what FF/Chrome uses. EDIT: Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I just wanted you to see what I see. Here's a screenshot of three different mouseovers on this page: http://i.imgur.com/HY8sm.png -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  13:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes I know what the title does. However alt doesn't do anything on text. Old versions of IE used to make alt also display as a title, which is not valid HTML (neither is using alt on anything but an image). However that doesn't even matter since you have a title set anyway. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 22:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * OH, you meant literally the alt codes. I thought you grouped both up. I haven't used IE in almost a decade, so didn't know that. Thanks :) -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  22:55, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Microsoft Paint?
Did you use Microsoft paint, You sorta Broke the Transparancy! Arrran Weeviling The Inventor of the Cake Bomb! 07:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that :( Yes, I did use MSPaint. I was not aware there was transparency in use. I mainly changed it because the edit before me made the skulls disappear and new beacon revert. I noticed this when the BlockSprite on the Wither page didn't show the Wither skulls. I'll make sure not to touch any of the css.png images from now on and just notify their talk page if I see something off. In the future, if I get around to it, I'll learn how to use a different picture editor before making changes again. -- Kanegasi   ☺  C  12:32, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The original image was fine, your cache was out of date. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 13:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I did use the ctrl+f5 method several times. Rechecking the archived version before mine again, after finding the "disable cache" option in Chrome, the skulls seem to be there. My mistake. I'm still not going to touch those images again until I have an understanding of a more robust image editor. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  13:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Error Posts
Sorry for those error posts... TC 01:48, 22 September 2012 (UTC) TC


 * Error posts? Also, you don't need to add your name after, unless that's how you want your sig to look. -- Kanegasi   ☺  C  01:55, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Site Appearance
Hopefully someone sees this, as I don't know if there's a central help page for this kind of thing. I've never messed with the custom.css thing for any Wiki and would like to port Wowpedia's DarkVector skin to my common.css, but directly copying over doesn't work, which I didn't expect it to anyways. If anyone can assist me in making this skin work, let me know. Also, I hereby authorize anyone who can help to edit User:Kanegasi/common.css DIRECTLY in order to properly port that skin over, if that would be easier than explaining what I should do. That page currently holds an exact copy of the DarkVector skin. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  02:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I blanked that page because I noticed that some of the formatting worked, like on diff pages or the size difference amounts in the recent changes and the colors were way off for a light background. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  05:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Re:Your Signature
My regular signature (with ~ ): iLeon  (Disk) 17:07, 7 October 2012 (UTC). The problem is the german wiki.


 * Well, when I looked at your /Sig page here on the English wiki, you have the same time and date immortalized on that page, so every time you sign here, that date is used. Just change that, and for English signatures, you'll have to type out and manually enter the date. I wish I knew of a better way to do that without changing your sig in your preferences.   17:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)


 * While four tildes is the standard for signing, you can also use three to produce just your signature, or five  for just a datestamp.   should do the right thing. -- Orthotope 19:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I was thinking about the and ~ thing, but was not aware five tildes does just a date stamp. Very interesting.  19:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Bug list cleaning idea
I have idea for bug list. Make tag like crashreport that hides comments. Except ONLY when there are two many comments. Maybe have it somekind of formula that calculates when there are too many. IF  HIDE --188.238.164.69 08:04, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * That's actually a neat idea. It might just help keep the issue pages clean, especially when a latest version is getting old. Not sure how to go about that, so make this suggestion in the talk page of a recent Issues page.  12:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

"Vandalism"
I fail to see how my edits to Bat were "vandalism"; the shrieking sound seems to be deliberately annoying; I for one find it extremely difficult to concentrate on what I'm doing when there's a bat nearby. Plus the fact that they spawn in large caves and make a very loud sound means they do have an impact on the game, since they can be used to locate caves. Can you explain why you felt that my edits were vandalism? 78.105.8.153 00:59, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Your opinion on sounds added to the game does not belong on this wiki. If it doesn't directly pertain to objective facts about the subject of a page, or if it's not about the page itself if posting in a talk page, it is vandalism/spam/whatever you want to call it. Stuff like that belong on the forums, not the wiki.  01:04, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, I find their current sound, in 1.4.2, to be quite pleasant. It's not shrieking at all, it's an adorable squeak and makes you feel bad for hitting it.  01:06, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Stop redirecting painting.
Please stop changing the painting page. Someone making something proper, you undoing it, me undoing you and you undoing me is just crazy. Please note that this is a public wiki and changes are live and affect how people view the site. Page history can be dealt with. When and admin has the chance, I'm sure they'll sort this out. I understand your actions but please don't take this as a game and take matters into your own hand. The wiki is run by the community and managed by the staff. Even if you undo someone, people will just undo you. Please just leave it as it is. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Thatdude20 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 01:31, 2 December 2012 (UTC).

 * Wrong talk page. The person that created the issue first was Extreme and you made it worse by reverting the correction Hower64 made. The current correct state is Painting redirected to Paintings with Paintings being the main page. It is to be moved ONLY BY USING THE MOVE FUNCTION. There is no other way that is acceptable here on this wiki. Thank you for your concern, but leave those two pages as they were before User:Extreme altered them.  01:40, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Then why dosen't anyone move the page? Thatdude20 –The preceding undated comment was added on 01:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * It required an admin to delete the already existing Painting and move Paintings into that namespace. It's all in the past now, since Wynthyst has accepted the plural->singular proposal and performed the move. This response was in progress when Wynthyst replied, but I decided to still add it. I appreciate the vote of confidence, Wynthyst. It's nice to know we're all considered immature.  02:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Moved. Now stop, both of you. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Never said that :P In fact, I'd like to ask you if you'd be interested in taking on some admin duties around here.... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:04, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
