Ambassador

Hey, man, I put you up as an ambassador since you're an admin from Strategy Wiki. You get autopatrol and the ability to edit the MediaWiki namespace with it (oh, and respect :3)

So...yeah. Thanks for helping me out, here. We're new so we don't have any real editors or staff.—Justin^(Talk) 18:47, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

Oh right, that's cool. Don't know when I'll need to edit the MediaWiki pages, since it's the only namespace I've never edited before, but, you never know when it may be useful. :) I can only do some small things like cleaning up pages, but on a new wiki, I guess every little thing helps. :D Moydow 19:01, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

Yeah. I added that because admins usually know how to edit the Mediawiki namespace so I figured admins from other sites could help out like that. Anyways, I do appreciate even the smallest things.—Justin^(Talk) 19:06, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

I just never needed to edit it, really. SW is pretty well run in that area. All of our bureaucrats have plenty of experience. One is an administrator on the MediaWiki site itself. Anyway, if this helps, your sig seems to be broken. It seems you didn't close the span tag in the link to your userpage, and that's now creating massive red links to your page. Moydow 19:21, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

Nope. It's red on purpose ;)—Justin^(Talk) 19:27, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

Oh, it's a conspiracy to dominate talk pages with links to your page, eh? (I never said that...) :P Anyway, I did actually find a MediaWiki page that needed editing: MediaWiki:Portal-url. It seems almost every wiki creates the Community Portal with a capital P, then nobody changes that page, leaving a broken link in the sidebar. Moydow 19:33, 9 August 2010 (PDT)

Well, being you can replace the side bar text with a direct link to Lylat Wiki:Community Portal, i'm not sure anyone thought it was needed....nor did i remember to do what i just recommended. Also, i didn't no that system page existed, so :P. [Tacopill|(talk)] 06:49, 10 August 2010 (PDT).

your invited!

Yeah, sure, I'll join. Anything I can do to help. Moydow 08:06, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

Cool! i just created the home page for the wikiproject. Please tell me what you think. [Tacopill|(talk)] 10:27, 10 August 2010 (PDT).

Yeah, looks alright. You may also want to provide a link to Special:WantedTemplates, urging members to help create as many of these as possible, as some of them may be important. I see Template:Navbox has 370-odd links to it. Moydow 11:41, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

Thank you for the suggestion. I've placed that, along with some other tasks under Lylat_Wiki:Templates#Tasks. What do you thing? [Tacopill|(talk)] 12:46, 10 August 2010 (PDT).

And i'm not sure what to do about Navbox.... 12:47, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

I made a small edit slightly clarifying the Tasks section. Navbox is generally a group of templates, as opposed to one template, which would strain the server. For example, Navbox-Games would be a template with links to each game in the series, placed on each game page. Navbox-SF64, for another example, would be placed on pages related to Star Fox 64 (characters, enemies, aircraft, etc.), with links to each page. This is an example single-game navbox on WiKirby.
