String Functions

We absolutely need this extension :/Neo 02:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

It is in my list of things to add when i am next able. WikiSysop 20:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

We aren't Wikia

Can you warn people not to directly copy everything out of starfox.wikia.com, at least rephrase here and there. Also, if they are using it, before they save it, to proofread a few times since starfox.wikia.com is littered with typos and errors. Level 3 00:18, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hm.... I definitely agree with it, but will need to come up with something to do so. Hm.... WikiSysop 00:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know if you're the only sysop or whatever, but since you are one, I'd like to encourage you to take a more harsh stance on plagiarism. Paraphrasing as well as flat-out copy+paste is still not only inappropriate from a moral standpoint, it's actually illegal. Since Wikia's semi-recent license change to CC-BY-SA, using their content on any non-CC wiki is a violation of copyright. Thanks.

On a semi-related standpoint that doesn't involve any criticism from me ( :] ), do you know of any other NIWA wikis that are engaging/condoning-- or worse, encouraging-- such behavior? 96.255.126.216 23:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Dear 96.255.126.216, Thank you for contacting me on this. I do not believe any NIWA admin, or any of there wiki's anymore, is encouraging in such an act. However, like you said we do now have a harsher stance on plagiarism. I do not know of any current cases, but should they appear, we have Template:LW:IWP to help up out. Thank you again, User:WikiSysop/sig 02:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC).

CSS

Don't bother with those too much, because we won't use it once Steve gets our skin done. Oh, and sorry that I can't really get on as much. Our wireless router goes to crap whenever my IP address shuffles itself, so we now have to reset it. Sorry.Neo 17:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

What if the colors still work when we have the skin? Also, alright about the router thing. User:WikiSysop/sig 18:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Some of your colors get a bit whacked up though. Like navy on black doesn't boat well. Btw is steve still workin on ur skin? he seems to take a while, but it is hard work. Btw I'm from Metroid Wiki with plenty of experience and i could help you around templates and other junk. So when will lylat be a part of niwa? lol Malake256 22:05, 3 August 2010 (PDT)

Well...he's working on the skin for Zelda Wiki.org right now (I think.) But when he finishes, I think he's still on board. So, yeah. And I'll autopatrol you since I know you and know you're smart enough to know what you're doing.Neo 22:17, 3 August 2010 (PDT)

Alright cool, thanks. Steve's a funny guy. He's the best at editing skins around here.. but he's so lazy or busy or something when it comes to actually doing it. As for Niwa, will that happen? it seems more than plausible to me. Malake256 23:48, 3 August 2010 (PDT)

That's the plan, but we're not ready, yet. We don't have enough articles or anything, yet. We need 300, I think. Can't entirely recall (which is ironic, since I'm technically a member of the NIWA staff through WiKirby :P)Neo 00:09, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

Last time checked, it was 200. We currently have 31 articles, most of them are Stubbish. As for the colors, i am open to people challenging/changing them; just please keep the color scheme i had going (See LW:DWP and My color scheme table). unless it conflicts with the skin; in which case, change the colors to fit the skin better and/or come up with a new scheme. User:WikiSysop/sig 09:58, 4 August 2010 (PDT).

Alright, sounds good. Just a couple can be hard to read. Hmm, I'll make some suggestions through templates, then you could change their colors around. Malake256 10:41, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

I like that option, as i can't see colors the way most people see them; and thank you for the spelling correction. User:WikiSysop/sig 10:48, 4 August 2010 (PDT).

Ahh well. Placing Blue on black doesn't seem to work so well, kinda like placing yellow on white, makes people squint to try to read it. I'd also suggest having templates for colors, like bulbapedia's color templates, for example have {{character color}}, I'll mess with the character template a bit, and we'll see how it looks. Malake256 11:00, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

Sounds good. I look forward to the results. Also, if you get a chance, please toy around with MediaWiki:common.css. User:WikiSysop/sig 11:07, 4 August 2010 (PDT).

Lylat Wiki:Sandbox#Malake's Color Style Suggestions Something more color-based like that, it doesn't look as plain. Also I've added some {{round}} templates I know Neo is familiar with. And I'll be sure to :] Malake256 11:43, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

Looks good. Out of curiousity, is there a trend in niwa not to use common.css, and instead do the style directly on template? I don't mean to insult, I am simply wondering. User:WikiSysop/sig 12:58, 4 August 2010 (PDT).

No nothing like that. The niwas aren't tied down by anything like that. I think it's just easier to find and change that way. And colors and styles tend to change a lot, so it's better kept on the template instead of having to go through the css for every change. Like, lets say one color needs change, it's much easier to go to the template and change it instead of common.css. And not many know how to change the css. Some things are better changed on the css though, like link colors. Malake256 13:48, 4 August 2010 (PDT)
