User talk:Smirkenbowls

Personal message in commentary
User talk pages exist for a reason, putting personal messages on articles is just as bad as what you were reverting... --Inschato 00:45, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Explain your problem?--Quatroking - Row! Row! Fight the power! 01:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I double checked and noticed it was not included in the actual article, nonetheless it would have been seen by the user in question in much faster if it was put on their talk page instead. --Inschato 15:24, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for telling me what article you're talking about >.>--Quatroking - Row! Row! Fight the power! 02:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :P --Inschato 02:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, that article. Well I was lazy as always and considering he was the only author (and online at the same time) it was a pretty easy way. Nothing wrong with that.--Quatroking - Row! Row! Fight the power! 06:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Fanboyism
Hey... same Quatroking from Phoneburnia? --Hikashi
 * Depends. Who's asking?--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 15:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * {AC} Hikashi from Phoneburnia. --Hikashi
 * Oh.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 12:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit on chess page
Hey. RE: "We prefer not to have all the "zomg i made this" stuff. This includes who did something first, etc." on Chess, I just thought it would clear dispute over the first to implement each game. Also, the tone was not 'zomg', it was informative and tasteful. I have returned the first date of play, but not the names. SteGriff 11:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, with the zomg I just meant the overall use of it, not really the way you put it. Actually we should get a userbox for these kidns of data, it would make it a lot easier.--Quatroking - Row! Row! Fight the power! 13:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Your edit to Talk:NewFrontier RP Server
You really did not have to edit the talk page, agreed character bio's are not exactly whats means to be placed in a talk thread but we wanted to save room, its hardly effecting you in anyway if we do, the wiki article is there as a guide for new players and the previous talk page helped new players find people with certain roles. Also I don't see any reason why we can't edit the article as many times as we want, it doesnt hurt anyone and you can always increase the amount of edits shown in the recent changes. --BiGfrend 21:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

And this isn't? Gordenfreechmen 20:40, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, it was only a tease, but still, I find how weird people don't know about their User page. Gordenfreechmen 00:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC) and fyi, its User talk, not User:.

Deletion template
Hey, I made a template that will alert you when there's another page you can send to oblivion! Watch Category:Deleteme. :) --Misterangry 04:26, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

deletion of indev
alright thanks ill do that --Kevin77 18:07, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Question
Because the minepedia doesnt have all the cool things wikipedia has, i was wondering how you got an infobox? i cant figure out how to get one.
 * We use templates for that. Also, sign your replies! Quatroking - Garble Garble! 07:50, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Request
I am trying to devote my time for the Minepedia and I was wondering if there a chance I could be promoted to give more contribution to the site and somewhat earn my trust here. Not that I am more special than anyone else here, but i really want to help in any way possible instead of reporting all the time whats is wrong. I do understand I have to keep a neutral point of view and that I have to do the right choice. So please, if you consider my request or not, let me know and I would love to have a talk on any messenger/chat system possible.--FuzzyWuff 18:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Regarding protection of the custom servers list
I understand the need to prevent vandalism, and shameless self-promotion. I deal with it all the time on wikipedia. Anyway, to the point, either it has been enabled, or it will; Flagged revisions.

Quite simply, flagged revisions(an extension) will prevent any edits made to a page, unless the editor has a special right, autoreviewer status. Unfortunately, the downside is that it creates(at least in my opinion) a massive backlog of edits to be reviewed for inclusion(hence why I was against it on WP). However, given the small amount of users here, it may work for this wiki.

I'm certain it would solve your problems with protection. The right of autoreviewer can only be granted by an admin, and only edits by admins/autoreviewers will get through, solving the need for full protection.

Hope I helped.Daedalus969 06:57, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

As an aside, if you need me to confirm I am the same one who uses the Daedalus969 account on wikipedia, simply ask.Daedalus969 06:59, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I would also suggest the Extension for Parser Functions, which, in my opinion, are a must. They enable much more functionality, in lieu of logical functions, page name-based changes, time, and error handling.Daedalus969 07:16, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

As another aside, I would also suggest the category tree extension, which allows a tree of all pages in a category to be transcluded onto a page. Useful for keeping track of pages pending deletion. To this end, along with other small changes in the field I am most familiar with, I have made it easier for you to track pages pending deletion. Here, I have added a category that will only be included on pages the template is transcluded to. After a slight fix(forgot to add the includeonly tags), I'll fix my signature to how it is on wikipedia.Daedalus969 07:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Forgot to list off the cat, it's Category:Pages Pending Deletion.Daedalus969 07:26, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

And now my signature is fixed, unfortunately my userpage is still a redlink, :/ .. I'll get to that later.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 07:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Of course, I'll self revert any changes you don't like, but I can't tonight. Heading to bed. Night.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 08:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * eh, it works fine right now and I'm too lazy to get all tech up in this bitch and apply new addons and stuff.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 10:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC):
 * I realize how it's pushing you away.. but if not that, you at least need to add in some anti-porn spam regex. You can easily find out how to at the mediawiki website, or I can link you to the specific page here, if you like.  Either way, it would solve a few problems, mainly with that spam.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 20:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Give me one case of porn spam on the wiki. We already have akismet installed and running greatly, so linkspam won't work either.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 22:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Let me see if I can find it, I only mentioned it because I saw someone revert it.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 09:06, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I give up. It's too far gone into my history.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 04:03, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Reverting/Changing Images
Before you change images, please consider the pages they will affect. Also check them afterward to see if they look proper. You'd recently reverted the blocks Template1 image and it made the picture on the blocks page cut heavily into the wording on the left by being too wide. -KinoftheFlames 06:53, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Deleting Pages
I've noticed you delete wiki pages frequently, which is good considering there is a lot of excess pages that are unneeded. I would like to ask that if you delete a wiki page such as Ladder because it is better listed under a category (in this case Crafting), then to please instead of deleting it, redirect it to it's existing location. Also, if the only thing on a page is vandalism look at the history of the page to see the last edit that didn't have vandalism on it and revert the page to that. An example of this is the page Roller coasters which I saw once to have some relevant information. The need for that article is debatable of course, but then I'd think it should be talked about on the talk page and not outright deleted. Thanks! -KinoftheFlames 03:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
