User talk:Donut THX 1138/Archive 1

Hiya!

Dear Donut THX 1138,

Fortunately, I know some Half-Life, and I was actually writing fanfics about it in the winter...so I hope I can help more than with technical stuffelz. =D

Cheers,

Congratulations!

Dear Donut THX 1138,

I spoke to a Wikia Staffer, and she says "I like what I see in his contributions". =D

That's access on...two wikis? One bureaucratic? Congrats! =D

Cheers,

Have to go urgently now, see you later! Sorry I can't contribute any more tonight, I just don't have the time. =D Cheers, RelentlessRecusant http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif ^TALK • WORK • _SPEAK 00:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Congrats, new bureaucrat! Use your POWAH wisely, my friend. Let us know if you need any help customizing or expanding. Invite your friends and folks from Half-Life communities -- let's make this a thriving place.

Could you also expand the game's listing at w:c:gameinfo:Half-Life? You can also add an external link to this Wikia at the bottom of the article there (like the one on w:c:gameinfo:Halo: Combat Evolved). — Catherine o' the ComTeam 01:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I've also added your info to Wikia:Half-Life; let me know when you've got a logo and I'll add that there too. — Catherine o' the ComTeam 01:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Logo

See Wikia:Help:Improving_your_Wikia#Change_the_logo for the guidelines -- basically find or create the image you want, size it to fit, and upload it to the name Wiki.png, and it will overwrite the default Wikia logo. Remember, simpler is better for logos. If you or your friends are not graphically inclined, you can ask me or User:Sannse to edit your chosen picture to add text or a border or whatever you need. — Catherine o' the ComTeam 01:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

More help has arrived! Have you uploaded a pic of Alyx Vance yet? Cause I have a good one. --Caboose

Heavy Load

Looks like you've been carrying this wiki all on your own! I'll have to lighten that load when I'm not feeling so lazy.

Um...you might want to consider protecting the main page...just a thought

Geez, you deserve some super big award or something! Anyway, I've got to go now, but I'll get on here ASAP tommorrow. If any pics are needed, lemme know. My pic-finding skills are uncanny, but I don't mean to brag. --Caboose ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 02:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki

Dear Donut,

I feel that my assets lie primarily in MediaWiki modification, and I'd like to start by customizing layout - modifying sidebar, background, user icon, search icon, modifying recent changes, whole nine yards.

However, MediaWiki access is instrinsically something accessed only with administrative access, so just saying that I'll be unable to make such modifications without having such access. =D

Later. =D

Dear Donut THX 1138,

Dear Donut THX 1138,

It'll be much easier if you just upload the files and I'll do 'em. I've...revamped...two or more wikis with MediaWiki. =D

MediaWiki & Category:Enemies

Dear Donut THX 1138,

1. I have added Template:Combine Unit Infobox, Template:Combine Units, Category:Combine units
2. The MediaWiki files you are looking for are MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css. If you need help, you can always consult me.
3. I have deleted Category:Enemies, because that is a non-NPOV name for a category.

Cheers,

Headcrab

What category would the article Headcrab go under?--Caboose ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 22:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Righto.--Caboose ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 22:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Template

Dear Donut THX 1138,

The Enemy Infobox is not meant only for the Combine, but also other enemies as well, like the unallied organisms in Half-Life 2, and all the aliens and US Spec Forces in Half-Life. Please reconsider. =D

And if you want to add a background, it appears that these MediaWiki files haven't been installed here yet...so just give me a buzz, and if you'd like, I could do a 'lil MediaWiki work to this site.

I am in the process of uploading a series of images that could go into that article. They can all probably be found at the Upload Log. Though the words "Black Mesa" aren't in any of the image titles, they are all Black Mesa.

Lord ordimus

Sir,

I have been informed by a nation called slipbeak that you knew of a guy called Lord ordimus. He asked me to ask you about him. Also, a massive (bt unorganised) invasion is taking place on Lazarus. It's interesting. Yes, this isn't the site I normaly speack to you from but I need you to hear this.--Gerzam ^{[Communications] [Past Battles]} 22:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Protection

Hi. Are you sure the Main Page needs protecting? This should only be done as a last resort against persistant vandalism (see Wikia:Help:Main Page). It's a shame for this wiki to be advertised in the Wikia messages section if it's locked down since that isn't welcoming to newcomers. Angela ^talk 22:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Every thing Alright?

Hey, I am a little conserned that not all is well (well "all" isn't the best thing to say, wait why am I adding this). I understand how usy you are but miss hearing from you. If you don't like me or don't ever want to talk that's fine but I'm just saying. Anyways, I shall leave you be, before I get swatted. Peace.--Gerzam ^{[Communications] [Past Battles]} 23:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

• Ya, I understand that you have been hard at work here and have been doing extreme work but I was just curious if all was rigfht. But I do have a question: One of my allies on NS knows about you and all the other things that have done. But He asked me to ask you about some guy called Lord Ordimus. Anyways, good luck with this wiki.--Gerzam ^{[Communications] [Past Battles]} 11:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

re: your messages...

Dear Donut,

Erhm...all's not exactly fine in my real life, but thanks for your concern. =D

1. Will check MediaWiki file...
2. Why does infobox need to be adapted? The gray color scheme fits for Combine as well. There's no need to c+p an infobox. =D
3. Butting heads?
   1. I will unprotect MP. This is a Wikia reg I learned hard way on gearsofwar.wikia.com.
   2. Uhh...it's Wikipedia policy to always assume good faith...I don't even purposely mean to contradict my superior. Conflicts aren't good for the guy on teh payr0ll. =D However, it's Wikipedia policy regarding unbanning and warning template, and I'd like to follow such policy here.

Later! =D

forums

Dear Donut THX 1138,

The template that will make it work IMHO isn't preloading for some unknown reason...=S...unsure of what to do. I dunno how I got the Halopedia one to work and can't work this one out! =D

Forums and preloading

I think I know what's wrong. Find the following line from Forum:Index (or as it's called here, Forum:Half-Life Forums):

preload=Template:Forumheader/{{PAGENAME}}

It tries to preload Template:Forumheader/Half-Life Forum, which doesn't exist. Change it to point into some template that actually exists. ;) --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 21:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that's got something doing with categorization. As the current category for forums is Category:Forums, but the sourcecode in Forum:Index is once again different:

category={{PAGENAME}}

So that means it'd (theoretically) categorize stuff to Category:Index... --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 22:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

As I thought, that solved it. :) --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 22:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
