[edit] From BobaFett2

I was wondering about how to modify my sig. I want to add a thing for my shop, but there isn't anything obvious that will point me in the right direction.

I would recommend switching to a simpler sig that you can edit yourself, and then work your way up to fanciness. Then you won't need to ask people for help with these things :) Ajraddatz _Talk 02:24, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

I tried that with him but the EZ sig was not working maybe now I'd try it if I were you BobaFett2--~~Joeman~Talk~TT~Happy Thanksgiving!~~ 02:29, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Pages

On some people's pages, like Nitecrew's or Joeman's, it has a picture of them in MLN. Is there a special way to do that, or do I just need to take some sort of snapshot of my screen?

Congrats, you answered your own question. Yes, you need to make a snapshot of your screen. There are multiple ways to do this:

1. If your computer has a button labeled "PrtSc", press that and the screen's current image will be copied to the clipboard. (You may need to hold down Fn while pressing PrtSc.) Paste the clipboard into an image editor such as Photoshop, GIMP or MS Paint. Crop the image down and submit it.
2. Install GIMP if you have not done so already. GIMP has a "screenshot" function. In the toolbox, press File -> Acquire -> Screenshot, if I have it correctly.
3. Get a digital camera and take a picture of the screen.

Hope this helps. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  23:16, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] EZ Sig-BobaFett2

I still can't add any text boxes to the EZsig2. It just is not working. I made a really really simple sig, but it doesn't have any color or anything like that. Could you please give me some pointers? BobaFett Talk Thornax & Goods Order Today! 03:01, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

This is why I marked the EZsig templates for deletion...

I'm sorry, I'm not entirely positive on how the EZsig templates work. Like Ajraddatz said, the simplest sig works best. Here are some pointers for making a good sig:

1. If it's not fancy, don't fret. If you are having difficulties wrapping your head around the difficult stuff, don't worry.
2. For text color, use <span style="color:blue;">Your text goes here</span>. You can enter an English color name (red, blue, pink, black) or a hex value (#0000FF, #A234D9.) If you're familiar with HTML and CSS, you'll know what hex values are.
3. Background colors: <span style="color:white;background-color:blue;">Your text goes here</span>
4. When using font/background colors on links, place the tags INSIDE the link. [[Somewhere|<span style="color:red;background-color:green;">Your text goes here</span>]]
5. Don't make it too long or too flashy. I'm guilty of this. <grin>

Have a look at simple sigs such as Ajraddatz's for examples of good sig coding. I don't recommend mine, it's a wee too complex. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  23:16, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Reformatting all of the pages

You know the community has settled on a particular look for the pages which includes headings. I noticed that you are going through and removing the headings from a number of articles. Don't you think there should be a community discussion before going through and reformatting all of the articles? To be honest the changes you are making look like busy work and I don't think they make the article easier to read. Other opinions may vary. NitecrewRank 5TalkContribs 05:18, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Yea I liked the old format better.Mackmoron11talkcontribs

I agree with Nitecrew... somewhat. Ajraddatz _Talk 14:19, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

If the community can come up with a better format for the articles then I would be all for it. I am not against changing the articles. I am against starting an edit war. Seems to me the best way to proceed is to copy an article or two into someones user space, reformat the article, and then let the community vote about which version they like better. There could be more than one proposal for changing the articles. Maybe it could be a contest, I would be willing to chip in a bunch of clicks. NitecrewRank 5TalkContribs 17:04, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I missed this topic. AT any rate, my point when I remove the headings is this: Headings are there to organize information and make it easier to navigate. In super-duper-mini-stubs on minor Networkers and Items, there's no need to categorize information. Using understandable and complete sentences is. Not only that, but the headings are becoming part of the text. In my opinion, the article should be possible to read aloud without the headings and be completely understandable. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  00:51, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it does look more professional without headings.. :/ Ajraddatz _Talk 02:44, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

...which, of course, is why I'm removing them. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  03:03, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

I hate rollback, it is useless. On LEGO Wikiansers, I changed the name to Maintenance and included the ability to move files and suppress redirects. Should something like that happen here? Thanks, Ajraddatz _Talk 15:20, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Tell me on my talk page! 00:09, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Only to some degree. How "fit" you are to be an admin is not determined by a mathematical formula derived from how many blocks you have and how many edits you have, but what other users really think. If you're really helpful to the wiki and make a real effort to fix the articles, the voters will appreciate you even more. Ajraddatz, for example, was off to a rocky start—among his first discussions was a heated argument over whether admins should have high MLN Ranks. But over time, he won a better reputation by actively helping new members and supporting the wiki. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  00:16, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User and Talk Space Edits

The user and talk space edits are getting crazy, should we bring in a policy against them? There needs to be a ruleset over what should and should not be done. First, the complex userpages and sigs need to stop. Can I delete the ez sig templates? Actually, I suppose that I should start a forum on this... what are your thoughts? Ajraddatz _Talk 05:11, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I am all for anything that gets people editing articles instead of using the site for nothing but social networking. Having said that, if we delete those templates a lot of signatures would be broken all over the site. NitecrewRank 5TalkContribs 16:24, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

My bot could do it, and also, does it matter? Anyone who is active would fix their sigs right away anyways. Ajraddatz _Talk 19:56, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Ya, but I can already foresee all the messages about 'my signature is broken', 'someone broke my signature, punish them', and 'could you fix my signature' NitecrewRank 5TalkContribs 20:03, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I cannot get my sig to link correctly to brickipedia. Can you do it for me? -- BobaFett Talk Thornax & Goods Order Today! 21:45, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I'm being rude (the above comment is a perfect example of my civility), but if you can't understand your own sig's code, I don't recommend modifying it unless you're making it simpler in the process. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  21:48, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I do understand the code, the link simply doesn't work. -- BobaFett Talk Thornax & Goods Order Today! 21:50, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I think I get the problem. External links don't use | to separate the URL and link text. And by the way, these external links violate the sig policy. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  21:51, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Ok sorry. But why did you have to delete my page image? Not to criticize but you deleted the main pic on my page.

You mean your avatar? I can restore that, FB100Z didn't mean to delete the avatars (or did he?). Ajraddatz _Talk 23:17, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

also if you look at some of my pages and see that it is partly transparent I want you to know I did not get it from your page, I was searching CSS code and found that it worked.

-- joeman200 Sale @ Terrific Trades 25%off! Talk contribs 01:09, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Hmm? No advertisement of other wikis? Where?

No worries, I don't have copyright concerns over CC-BY-SA Licensing.

I deleted the L template because the user masthead messed up the absolute positioning and it was becoming overused. To duplicate it for your wiki, just make an absolutely positioned <div> with proper width and height properties to fit into the box at left. Try using the MeasureIt Firefox addon to figure out the dimensions you need. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  23:20, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki

FB100Z - why did you separate the common and Monaco? I merged them together so it's in one place, and everything was neat... Besides, it wouldn't have made a difference as our skin is Monaco, and we aren't going to change it, so you may as well have it in one place... Kjhf: Have I been naughty or nice? 21:54, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

True, but some users still prefer to go old school and stick with another skin. If it's specific for Monaco, it goes in Monaco. If it's universal, it goes in Common. We may interfere with Monobook, for example, by using Monaco code in Common.css, and other skins won't get the important universal properties if we place all the CSS in the Monaco skin. Believe me, there are Wikipedia veterans that edit here in Wikia, and naturally prefer the more familiar Monobook skin. Although it's somewhat futile to design a Monobook skin, we don't want to mess up their personal skin with Monaco CSS should their classes and IDs coincide. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  00:44, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quit

Just to let you know I am thinking of quitting because the whole reason why I was attracted to this wiki is because of all the userpages and shops that you can customize as much as you want... and of all the friendly users.... It has kind have lost that feel. All the user images being deleted. Most of the users I used to be with are inactive... I haven't completely quit yet... but just to let you know that when a wiki loses the interresting things it looses users too.... --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 05:51, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry that you do not find improving the articles an interesting thing to do. The articles are what this wiki is about. The talk pages and stores are a secondary benefit. Lately those priorities have been reversed and the Admins have been spending too much time cleaning up unused images and helping users with broken 'code' on their pages. Have you tried some of the other sites such as MLNO or MLN Team? NitecrewRank 5TalkContribs 18:21, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Our job here is not to hurt your feelings, which I apparently have. But the customizable userpages and shops are not what the wiki is about. If you are willing to quit because your userpages and shops have had a limitation, then I'm afraid you have an unfortunately distorted view on the wiki. If you do not find enjoyment in editing mainspace articles, then this wiki is not the place for you. As Nitecrew recommended, try MLNTeam or MLNO. I personally prefer the latter, but try both if you wish. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  22:10, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

I completely undestand that wikis are not about that kind of stuff. But that is what attracted me to this wiki all of the personal customizability (don't know if I spelled that right...) But I have other wikis to work with. I thought this was a place for information and you would be able to get people to trade with. I understand now that the point of this wiki is not that.

Hey fb100zs Wow... i must say the wiki has changed. I understand that the wiki was not supposed to be how it was with the user images and all that other stuff but...

It's true that the wiki has become drastically changed by the removal of the user images. However, it is not true that userpages make this wiki special. All MediaWiki-run wikis, as far as I can tell, have their user pages. That makes MLNWiki one of the millions of wikis with userpages, and our userpages are far from special in any way. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  00:52, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

I see. though your right that user pages don't make this wiki special... i wasn't really referring to that... It was just this kind of new emptiness...

I added a bunch of pages from my userspace and would like you to delete them with their talk pages. Thanks. :) Happ deleting! :) --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 05:06, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Oh and one more thing to ask you. Could we move all the stickers to Sticker:Sticker_name like the walkthrough pages are? --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 05:09, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

I did the deleting for you FB100Z. Leinardo: That seems like it might be harder for new users to figure out. Im guessing the average new user, or somebody just looking something up, would expect that "Sticker:" would have to be at the front to find the page. Just a thought.Mackmoron11talkcontribs

I agree, a Sticker: namespace would be good :) Ajraddatz _Talk 20:14, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Why do you not add Loop:namespace--FreddyderHamster _Talk 20:21, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

That could work also... Ajraddatz _Talk 21:07, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Also you could leave behind the mainspace redirect to the Sticker space. And you could have a page to search all of the stickers. Because right now I do a random page and 1 out of 2 times it gives me a sticker page. Not very fun. :( --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 08:44, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Oh and could we put the Walkthroughs under Walkthrough: like on the WMWiki? And leave redirects if you like... --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 03:26, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

and Items under Item:namespace or mudule:namespace--FreddyderHamster _Talk 10:24, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with the namespace addition. Namespaces are for metacontent (Project and MediaWiki, for example) and not encyclopedic content (Stickers/Loops/Items/Modules etc.) At any rate, Wikia only allows three custom namespaces, so that's a bit of a problem. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  16:10, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Western theme

There are a page about western ,because this theme appear in one sticker line.Should we move western to category western.(I ask this because this mln wiki and not brickpedia)--FreddyderHamster _Talk 16:39, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

No, there's no official Sticker from the Western theme as far as I can tell. Deleted. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  16:42, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Same question with Exoforce--FreddyderHamster _Talk 16:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Does LEGO specifically give a theme for the Stickers? If not, we have no reason to specify their themes. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  17:00, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Yes when you look at the sticker guide it would give a theme to each sticker--FreddyderHamster _Talk 17:02, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, it does? In any case, however, we don't need to create a separate article for each theme (unless the theme has other importance within MLN.) FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  17:03, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah,therefore i ask if we should move it to category:Theme namespace--FreddyderHamster _Talk 17:06, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and do that. Thanks. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  17:06, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

I can't move page into the category namespace.It says:"Cannot move pages into namespace "Category""--FreddyderHamster _Talk 17:12, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Moved. Please do the same for the other categories. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  17:15, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

O.k.,but currently this wiki have no other sticker themes --FreddyderHamster _Talk 17:17, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] WHY!

WHY DID YOU DELETE MY USER IMAGE!!!!!!?????????????-TeKno talk contribs Rank 3! Finally! 17:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Trying to get more users to consentrate on editing the wiki not their userpages. --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 03:49, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Question

What should an Item page layout look like. Could you give me an example so I can fix the item pages? I have noticed you have been combining them. --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 02:37, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

There's no real structured layout, since we're writing in prose and not list format, but here are some guidelines:

1. No headers, unless the Item's description is incredibly long.
2. Don't use lists, unless the potential list of data is really long.
3. Use "non-mailable" or "mailable" in the introductory paragraph.
4. Don't forget to explain that the object is an Item.
5. When explaining trades, use "So-and-so offers this for that" where the user gives "that" and the Networker gives "this."

That's pretty much a rough outline. Don't worry about being perfect, since, if you make a mistake, the rest of us can simply drop by and correct it. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  19:32, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Could you add some of this stuff to the manual of style? --LeinardoSmith Talk MLN Page @WikiMarkupWiki2,877 edits!!! 04:59, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Petition

Well its kindof like a strike I guess it is not uploaded the image is on a different wiki. We will create a petition, and FreddyderHamster is gathering people. BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 19:49, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. We admins are much more likely to listen to protests if they are done in a civilized and non-disruptive manner.

Also, if you have additional comments, I would recommend visiting Forum:User image removal. Perhaps you could place a like to the aforementioned forum on your petition page? FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  19:55, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you I will tell FreddyderHamster BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 20:17, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry with the banner.It wasn't right.We should to discuss before.But all the pics who got delete.In some pics were many work.Sorry--FreddyderHamster _Talk 21:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

And one thing more: Flex217 do nothing.It was it.I add this pics to another wiki and say that all put it on thier page.It's my blame--FreddyderHamster _Talk 21:43, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

When anybody get a block.Than i.O.K.--FreddyderHamster _Talk 21:44, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that's ok. And I will. Happy Editing. -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 00:01, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Sigexpand or whatever

What is the template for the expanding signature? In another wiki, Flex217 has a waaay too big signature but he doesn't have the template in that wiki. BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 15:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

There is no template for it, what Flex has done is gotten experienced enough to make a signature without using a template. Ajraddatz _Talk 15:40, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Forums

I was wondering how forums worked: Do they come in the wiki of do you have to create forum pages? If they come with the wiki, how do I find the pages? If they do not, then are there any specific ways to make them? I am wondering this because I am trying to add forums to Minifig Wiki, my home wiki. BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 21:59, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

It's already there, you just need to link to it. Go to Forum:Index on your wiki. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  06:50, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 13:05, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Secret Networkers

I have an idea for secret networkers:Instead of Secret Networker, is could be ___Bob Skull (Put your mouse over the ___) (Using the expanding/contracting signature). BobaFett2speak to me'New:Bargains for Store OwnersʹVisit Slimons Superstore! 13:36, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Good Idea! we also use Bob Skull. But from my own part I do not like confusion so I just use Secret Networker-- joeman200 Sale @ Terrific Trades 25%off! Talk contribs 15:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I personally do not agree with that particular format (___ [Secret Networker Name] seems unprofessional when revealed) but the general idea is excellent. Perhaps we could place a small image or other instructions that tell the user to roll over the aforementioned material.

If we want to get fancy, we can have a small link that says "secret" in square brackets. When the user clicks on this, a small speech bubble pops up giving a message like "The hidden material contains information on a secret Networker, Item, or other information that could become a spoiler. Do you want to view the material?"

I could probably code that in JavaScript if you'll give me a little time...but first I'd like your opinion. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  19:08, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, I am liking this :) Ajraddatz _Talk 19:15, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'll get to work on it in my personal JS settings. I give my thanks to BobaFett2 for the inspiration. FB100Z ^Talk_Contribs  19:17, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I lol'd Template:SN|not once , Template:SN2|not twice , but Template:SNetHide|three times! Kjhf: Have I been naughty or nice? 21:44, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Since when has Mayor Frictionfit been secret? --Omega BlademanBlack Ace TalkRed Joker Contribs"Please turn down the noise." 21:17, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

He's not? Since when/where did you see? Kjhf: Have I been naughty or nice?

I don't remember us ever having him as secret, seeing as he appears on the FLs of Agent Chase and the construction guy. Plus, there's the fact that the two secret Networkers were the reporter and Inferno... Never was there a mention of Frictionfit. --Omega BlademanBlack Ace TalkRed Joker Contribs"Please turn down the noise." 22:21, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

No, he's not secret. I'm asking you where you saw someone said he was? His page shows he's not, he's viewable in our {{NetworkerNav}}, where did you see he was secret? Kjhf: Have I been naughty or nice?

*Points at the trophy module page for TRC* --Omega BlademanBlack Ace TalkRed Joker Contribs"Please turn down the noise." 00:06, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Fixed :P In the particular revision where FB100Z changed the Mayor to secret, he made a lot of other changes - I guess it slipped his mind :) Kjhf: Have I been naughty or nice?
