Bot?
What do a user needs to have a bot account? Do they require some special experience before they can request one? -- WG_94  Talk  -  Blog  12:51, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Thanks for leaving me the message about the Copyright Images and stuff. I had no clue. I don't think I'll post pictures because I'm a little confused about the subject, but thanks anyways... jermed2001

Babel
Hello A morris, can you change the Spanish babel to Castillan.

Regards.

DominixDídac 19:57, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Changes made. Text will now display "Castillan" instead of "Spanish" --a_morris (talk) 21:26, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, also can you put "CAS" instead of "ES" in the userbox?.

Request for bot task.
Hi a_morris, how have you been? I would like to request a bot task to be done, considering that Template:Snob was deleted, I think A bot could perform the removal of that template from pages who have it, thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:51, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. You can request bot tasks at The Sims Wiki:Todo. --a_morris (talk) 21:04, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank for informing. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:05, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Major Bot Task
I wanted to make sure you got this sooner rather than later, and I'm not sure how often you check the To do, so I'll ask it here instead.

As I'm importing pages from The Sims Medieval Wiki, there are a number of things which need to be cleaned up, mostly involving categories and links. Many of the traits or fatal flaws use the same name as TS3 traits (there are two evils, for instance, Evil and Evil (The Sims Medieval)). Obviously, some redirect system should be set up in these cases, but first it's essential that any pages that link to (in this example) Evil be re-linked to the correct page (if Evil is made into a redirect page, that is). Otherwise, some other redirect system must be thought up. This is the same for Trait and Trait (The Sims Medieval) as well.

So, a bot would be useful in making sure any TS3 traits that are changed have the links connect to the correct traits, in making sure that references to TS3 traits and Medieval traits link to the correct pages, and in making sure the categories used on the pages imported are correct (most are not). In this case, The Sims Medieval Wiki used Category:Traits for Medieval Traits, while I've set up Category:Medieval Traits for traits from that game.

If there's a better way to approach this issue, please let me know. It seems like it's going to be quite a bit of work to get this organized, but oh well. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:39, February 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * LiR, I've had some computer problems and am working off an old laptop, so I don't know if it will be able to handle bot task. I'll do some test and get back to you if it doesn't work. --a_morris (talk) 22:31, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

I'm back
Right i am coming back FOR SURE.

It's just a lot has happened. But I have installed The Sims, 2 and 3 and will be getting Life Stories. TDM : Always here to help but only one thing : Call me Data 20:40, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Fanon Wiki merge proposal
Hey A morris, I know that I may be asking too much, but can you write a merge proposal at TSFW Community Portal? I would do it myself, but I am not an admin over there, so I'm afraid that if I wrote the proposal, none of the users would pay any attention to it. So, if you do write the proposal, can you make sure to update the news, the Community Corner, and draw as much attention to it as possible? Sorry if I am asking too much, but I want to make sure that the Fanon Wiki wants to merge before we move ahead with the merge. Thank you! — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 22:41, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I posted the merge proposal myself here, but could you still edit the Community corner and the News template? I want the proposal to get as much attention as possible to get at least somewhat accurate support from their community. Thanks! — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 06:12, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * Congratulations Allison! I hope you're happy with this, and be aware that everyone desires you to be on here for a long timme, you're very nice and cute ^^, and a hard and helpful worker. Best wishes for you A morris! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:23, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

License dropdown menu
Hi A morris. Do you think you could edit the license dropdown menu to include Life Stories and Pet Stories Sims, since it is too time consuming to do it manually while creating other pages. Thanks! — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 14:03, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like you did it yourself?! --a_morris (talk) 16:56, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. Sorry. — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 20:20, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I took so long to respond. --a_morris (talk) 21:59, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Mods and Custom Content
Hey A morris, since we have created the Fanon Namespace, and after looking at this, I started wondering. Do you think we should include Mods and Custom Content in the Fanon Namepsace, and move the current ones? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 23:44, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is necessary at this point, as long as the articles are notable and well written. --a_morris (talk) 22:14, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox problem on Fanon pages
Hi A morris. There seems to be a problem with the infoboxes on Fanon pages. See here. Under the Life State parameter, it says "Sim|Normal". While this is not a major problem, it still bothers me. Is there any way to fix it? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 23:29, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the problem is because Simbio checks for the main namespace, but Simbio2 and Simbio3 pass code assuming it will be a link. --a_morris (talk) 00:17, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now for all bio templates. --a_morris (talk) 00:54, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Gina Seavey
Gina Seavey article needs confirmation, a morris, the article name is Gina Seavey but in the article text it's written Gina Seavy, would you mind to check in SimPE her true name, in my game her name was translated so I'm unable to check it? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:08, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * A morris? Do you have any solution for this issue? Please respond, thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:04, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have The Sims 2 installed on my computer at the moment and I am working on something else right now. --a_morris (talk) 20:06, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Then sorry if I was too boring, do you have The Sims 3? And what are you working on just by the way? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:09, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do have The Sims 3. I am working on css styles, trying to make a consistent color scheme across the wiki. --a_morris (talk) 20:17, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm... I think I don't understand much on the matter ^^, I'm still very unexperienced regarding templates, so one day I could learn with you... who knows...!? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:20, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Earthquake
Hi A morris, have you seen the news :(? There was an earthquake in Japan which affected Tokyo very much, and then a tsunami wave destroyed many things :´(, it's so sad there are hundreds of disappeared and deceased people, should we make some kind of honor to this terrible disgrace like a blog where we can wish the for Japan? Also should we see whose users are Japanese here, to leave them some kind of message? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:44, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * A blog posting is a nice idea. --a_morris (talk) 20:40, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you want me to make it, or are you going to make it? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can do it. --a_morris (talk) 21:25, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I will prepare the blog tomorrow ^^! Thank you, (also do you prefer bbeing called a morris or Allison?) --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:29, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I look forward to reading your blog! I have no preference. --a_morris (talk) 21:31, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Then I can call Allison if you want ^^. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:35, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've made it I hope you like it^^, you can suggest ideas too :)! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:10, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also could you do me a favour? Edit the Community Corner and add a note about this blog existence about Japan tragedy? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:23, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

User talk bubbles
Hi there! How are you?

How do you make a user talk bubble? And where do I put it?

New Admins
Hey A Morris. Bayoubash "retired" from the wiki and I've therefore removed him as an administrator. This brings us down to five active or semi-active administrators, three of whom I barely ever see around the wiki. As the Fanon Administrators have been picking up much of the slack (seeing as the fanon namespace is still quite small), I'm sure we can handle things without picking up new admins immediately, but I think we should entertain the idea of opening up admin requests soon. I'm still waiting on a response from Matta jr regarding their absence, but if they are also taken out of active administrators we will be down to six, including Bleeh. I don't want to open it immediately, but I'd like to discuss it.

What are your thoughts? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 14:31, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
