''Welcome to admin's log... where any admin can log about something (and it has nothing to do with the log from ''ren and stimpy'').

I've been told that people are taking from wikia, copying and pasting blindly, without editing it and preserving any spelling & grammar errors there may have been. So, to start off this section of my log, let me Just Say: '''We aren't Wikia'''. If find some information on wikia worth including here, then please link to it, copy and edit it, or do something with it that isn't just copying and pasting. We need to keep ourselves separate in order to make sure we are independent, and blindly copy and pasting makes us into no more than a mirror. | I've been told that people are taking from wikia, copying and pasting blindly, without editing it and preserving any spelling & grammar errors there may have been.

So, was working out the other colors in the idea i presented yesterday, and manged to come up with 9 that i think will be usefull. Some of them are based on wikiprojects I've created pages for ([[Lylat Wiki:Characters]] and [[Lylat Wiki:Games]]), while others are for pages launched today ([[Lylat Wiki:Items]] and Lylat Wiki:Vehicles). After thinking of other things that might be useful, i put this together of other wikiprojects i think would be usefull. I'd start them, but i want to give everyone a chance to catch up to where i am, and/or to tell their opinions on them. ''I have a bad habit of not waiting long enough for people to fairly review an idea i have. My bad.''. | So, was working out the other colors in the idea i presented yesterday, and manged to come up with 9 that i think will be usefull.

I've also reorganized the stubs, so we get a better idea of what it is a stub of and not just shrug it off as a generic stub. Now we can shrug it off as a specific stub :D. And then i did the same for categories, making it easier to navigate. | I've also reorganized the stubs, so we get a better idea of what it is a stub of and not just shrug it off as a generic stub.

Okay, so I've decided that I really want to go without the meta-templates. They're confusing and daunting, and I don't want to discourage less experienced templateers from editing them with large blocks of code that they can't understand. I appreciate the thought and all, and I hate to just scrap them, but I think it would be best. Like I've said, templates are a strength of mine, so I can take care of them. I'm going to start taking out the meta-templates, and I will replace them with regular templates later when I get the time. Again, sorry that you went through the trouble of bringing them here :/ | Okay, so I've decided that I really want to go without the meta-templates.
