There is an unresolved discussion on this page. Please help resolve it, and then remove this template when it is done.

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. Tacopill 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.... Tacopill 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, [Tacopill|(talk)] 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. [Tacopill|(talk)] 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. [Tacopill|(talk)] 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. [Tacopill|(talk)] 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. [Tacopill|(talk)] 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. [Tacopill|(talk)] 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)
Ok, that makes sense. But if we continue with it in that way, we will need to make Template:Tl, Template:Tl, etc. and have subtemplates for div & table headers, rows, cols, cells, footers, and whatever else will be needed..... sounds fun :D. [Tacopill|(talk)] 13:28, 7 August 2010 (PDT).



Username

You mentioned that you wanted a rename, right? Well, since you're also a crat, feel free to do it yourself. This is the link for ya. Enjoy!Neo 00:14, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

Sounds good....but what name? User:Tacopill is already taken. can we merge accounts? [Tacopill|(talk)] 09:59, 4 August 2010 (PDT)
Thank you for the change. I laughed when i saw User:Tacobot. [Tacopill|(talk)] 04:32, 5 August 2010 (PDT).

Wikiprojects

So do I ask you to be part of a wikiproject or can I just spam my own page with the userboxes? PureLocke(User/Talk) 12:13, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

Either will be fine. In addition, If you look at each WikiProject Page, there is a membership section, which itself has a user's section. Put Yourself under that subsection, starting with a pound-sign #. Out of curiosity, Which one are you interested in? [Tacopill|(talk)] 12:28, 10 August 2010 (PDT).

Characters, items, locations, people, at least as far as Star Fox 64 goes since it is the only one I own. It would probably make sense to have projects just for each game as well, for people who have played all the games and the ones that really know a couple. PureLocke(User/Talk) 15:04, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

I'll look into doing projects just for each game, but i would need to run it by Neo first. Anyway, you may join any number of projects, but i recommend keeping it to 2-3 that way you don't split your focus too much. And don't forget, you will always be allowed to make edits, regardless if the page falls under the project's scope or not. The point of wikiprojects are to gather people of a similar interest/expertise/talents, and have their combined help on tasks such as: Creating Templates, organizing categories, etc. [Tacopill|(talk)] 16:04, 10 August 2010 (PDT).
Ok, i ran it past Neo, and he doesn't think doing projects focused on games is a good idea. So, instead what i did is added section headers to Star Fox 64, to help it along. -Keep the ideas and contributions coming. [Tacopill|(talk)] 05:29, 11 August 2010 (PDT).


Good News!

This could be part of 5 other converstions on the wiki, but i am placing it here as i didn't think it really leant itself to anyone more than the others.

Hey Guys! i've showed Wolf O'Donnell to our skype chat (which includes fearless leader, Neo, and our skin designer, Steve) and they liked the color changes Malake256 suggested and what PureLocke and Moydow gave feedback on. Woo! (brief pause to catch breath). Now, should we text replace the Template:Tl with Template:Tl, or should i swap 1.0 for 2.0, and make Template:Tl a redirect or delete it...hm.... [Tacopill|(talk)] 19:40, 13 August 2010 (PDT).

V-1 could serve a purpose as an Item template if it was kept around. Otherwise I think it is ready (I wouldn't know though). Attracting an artistic person (if Steve isn't) would be helpful so we don't just pick a bunch of our favorite colors, they could pick and match palettes for different sections of the wiki. PureLocke(User/Talk) 15:07, 16 August 2010 (PDT)
Sounds good. But i am also looking for which what would be the specific text to use. Do i include "v2.0", and we continue using numeric templates from here on in, OR replace the main template with the content of the new one and only keep "v2.0" as a redirect and for it's edit history. Personally, i'm in favor of the former, but that's just me. [Tacopill|(talk)] 15:32, 16 August 2010 (PDT).
There's always room for change, if there's anything wrong with that template color-wise, fix it :] And if you'd really like, i could do something similar to all similar templates. Might take a while, I'm not sure how long it would take considering I end up busy on Metroid Wiki, but I could get it done eventually. Or you could take a crack at it yourself. Malake256 21:44, 16 August 2010 (PDT)
Actually, i have been :D. Please Check out the following pages, and give me feed back on them: Bomb, Star Fox 64 and Landmaster. [Tacopill|(talk)] 22:23, 16 August 2010 (PDT).
I see, some need work though, articles need to be created to drop the red links. I'm sorry, as it turns out I'm now an admin at two wikis. I might be too busy to stick around and fix stuff any time soon. Malake256 22:43, 16 August 2010 (PDT)
It's OK. Where are you admining? and yes...the red links will need to go eventually. But i was pointing out the new colors in the templates. [Tacopill|(talk)] 10:59, 17 August 2010 (PDT).
The colors are great, i like having colored backgrounds instead of just white. Always more appealing to me that way. 68.127.126.168 16:43, 17 August 2010 (PDT)
Thank you, Random IP Adress..... :D. Enjoy your stay, contribute where you see would be helpful and have fun! [Tacopill|(talk)] 17:43, 17 August 2010 (PDT).

Spambots

The page Template:Documentation shell has been targeted by spammers, and it appears to be flooding the server (the job queue was about 800 as I started typing). You may need to protect the page, as the IPs are varied. Moydow 19:49, 23 August 2010 (PDT)

Thank you very much. I will Take care of that now. [Tacopill|(talk)] 19:51, 23 August 2010 (PDT).

Lylat Wiki:Series And, they're back. Sorry if I interrupted you from your work, but this is a new page, meaning I can't undo the edit. Moydow 20:17, 23 August 2010 (PDT)

Done. Thank you again. [Tacopill|(talk)] 20:27, 23 August 2010 (PDT).
