We absolutely need this extension :/[[User:Neo|Neo]] 02:18, 27 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. [[User:Level 3|Level 3]] 00:18, 8 March 2020 (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? [[Special:Contributions/96.255.126.216|96.255.126.216]] 23:18, 8 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.[[User:Neo|Neo]] 17:28, 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 [http://www.metroidwiki.org/index.php/User:Malake256 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 [[User:Malake256|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.[[User:Neo|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. [[User:Malake256|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)[[User:Neo|Neo]] 00:09, 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. [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 10:41, 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 [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Water_color bulbapedia's color templates], for example have <nowiki>{{character color}}</nowiki>, I'll mess with the character template a bit, and we'll see how it looks. [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 11:00, 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 <nowiki>{{round}}</nowiki> templates I know Neo is familiar with. And I'll be sure to :] [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 11:43, 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. [[User:Malake256|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 {{tl|Character-color}}, {{tl|game-color}}, etc. and have subtemplates for div & table headers, rows, cols, cells, footers, and whatever else will be needed..... sounds fun :D. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 13:28, 7 August 2010 (PDT).

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