User talk:Icemandeaf

Thanks :)
Hey, thank you for deleting that "blocked for the rest of your life" thing from my talk page. It was a bit scary actually. -- Breira Talk 17:38, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Welcome Bot for new IP/ new users
Yes, apparently the bot is working for newly registered users (though quite oddly it sometimes edits under the username of the administrator that most recently edited the wiki, which is why sometimes my contributions show that I welcomed a user at 3am EST, when I am asleep, so I am very baffled at this), but it's still not working for unregistered users. I have no idea what Wikia just did here. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 18:45, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Human vs Sim
I think so, yes. Sim1 and Sim2 were already updated, I'm guessing it was a simple oversight. Just be sure to check a few pages with Sim3 to make sure the template is working right. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 22:02, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Peng Kao's Blog
Hey Icemandeaf, there's this blog created by a user named Peng Kao that doesn't appear to have anything to do with Sims. I was wondering if it should be deleted. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:08, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

While there isn't anything offensive about that blog post, I'd say that it's probably spam. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:16, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Blocking sockpuppets
I just thought I'd mention this in case you didn't know. When an admin blocks a sockpuppet account, they disable the user's ability to edit their talk page, since there's no chance that they'll ever be allowed to return using a sockpuppet account. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 02:38, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Congrats K6ka Icemandeaf! You are the Featured Editor for September 2014! I've added the template to your userpage which you are free to move/remove. Once again, congratulations! --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 10:33, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

Using the correct warnings
I noticed you left a standard vandalism warning on Special:Contributions/78.171.49.69's talk page. There are multiple warning types, each of them outlined at Template:Warning/doc. If someone does behavior that matches one of those other warnings, it's always better to use that warning instead of the default one. For instance, editing other people's fanons might be a mistake, but made in good faith. It's better to use the "fanon1" warning in order to specifically address the issue and let the user know, rather than a default "Your edits did not positively contribute to the wiki", which can confuse users (since they were acting in good faith and are probably stunned to see such a message!) and might drive away newcomers. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 17:55, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Uncompleted request
Could you please complete this uncompleted request I made on this page, thanks! --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 19:56, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, wait, request is no longer relevant. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 19:57, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Unborn Baby Gorden
Considering that we know that this isn't canon material, I'd suggest deleting the talk page, in terms of consistency with other fanon Sims. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:34, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also I only just realized that you left a re-direct behind when moving the page. When you want to move a page to it's correct location, be sure to make sure that the "Leave a re-direct behind" box isn't ticked, unless you wanted to leave a re-direct behind (which in this case I'm sure you didn't). As for the re-direct itself, I guess one will need to delete it. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:47, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!
Oh thank you so much for the suggestion it helped and the pictures look better! I have a question how do you make templates, like the ones that say the sim family's names on them from, DarkSuicune2000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by DarkSuicune2000 (talk • contribs) 16:12, November 8, 2014 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Edit warring moved to discussion
I just decided to inform a couple of other administrators about this edit warring. I'm not sure whether it was really necessary, but I felt that maybe their knowledge, and input could be of some use. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 21:23, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Tip on deleting pages
How's it going, buddy? I know you're still otherwise new to the admin tools here, so I thought I'd give you a tip - make sure you remove the "content was: $1" bit in the delete summary when deleting pages with inappropriate content. The "content was:" bit is automatically generated by the MediaWiki software (consisting of the first few characters in wiki markup of the page being deleted) and is automatically added to the deletion summary. Normally we don't need to worry about it - however, if the page contains inappropriate content, such as profanity, personal attacks, or private information, you don't want that to appear in the delete summary, as that is publicly visible in the logs. You can just blank the delete summary and either use the ones in the drop-down menu, or enter one of your own. Thanks, and good luck out there! --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

Family tree
Hey, Icemandeaf, would it be possible if I could borrow the code of your family trees for my fanon families? I don't really want to keep updating pictures of my family trees as that is getting quite cumbersome. So it would be awesome if you could let me (and teach me if you could) how to use your family tree code.

Spam on the unicorn page
Sorry to bother you, but someone went to the unicorn page and replaced several key words and sentences with "JOHN SNOW" and I don't know how to restore the original text or if that's even possible. I can't remember the text off the top of my head, either. Do you think you could help with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rem-Rei (talk • contribs) 18:05, March 19, 2015‎ (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

I appreciate the edit a lot, and I think it will be very useful for other Simmers who will need it. Thank you for your interest in my fanon page! :D

RE: Fanon Sims with name changes
Page links are best kept as redirects, since there may be many, many links, and it would be tedious to change them all (you can use the PageRenameAuto-update script if you still want to update them, or better yet, ask me to run my bot to fix them). Files can also be redirected, IIRC, but they then show up in maintenance pages and categories, and that may not be desirable. I use FileUsageAuto-update to update file links immediately after moving a page, so you can try that or ask me to move the file pages for you, or you can keep them as redirects and let me know so I can run my bot to fix them. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

Advice Needed
Hello! I am new to this wiki and while I have read the policies, I would like to know what I can do to help this wiki out? The articles seem to be in perfect condition, but I really want to help out. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you so much. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 19:47, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Adoption
Thank you for adopting me. I really appreciate it. While I know how to do basic editing like grammar, spelling and punctuation correction, I have no idea how to use or edit templates or do other complicated coding. That is where I need help. Thank you so much again. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 16:31, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

Questions
Hi! I have a question- Is it okay if I copy other the coding from other people's userpages and change the info to make it mine? This is how I learned how to put the templates on my userpage, but wasn't sure if that was considered plagarism. I just added the coding, but found the templates myself and added those instead of the ones the people had on their page. I hope I'm not in trouble for this. I just wanted to ask. Also, on some of the pages, I've noticed the British spelling of things, like neighbourhood instead of neighborhood. I haven't been changing them, but should I? I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thank you so much.

Re: Links
Thank you so much for letting me know about the links. I thought I did it right by just clicking the link button and adding the address in, but obviously I messed that up. Now I know better in the future. I really appreciate it. If I mess up, I want to be told how to correct it. Thank you again. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 18:49, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you so much for the help with the images. I tried to get the spacing right, but just couldn't do it. Now I know to add a gallery. Thank you so much again. XD S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 21:52, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

Community Discussions
Since I am so new to this wiki (been here only a week), I was wondering if I can participate in the Community Discussions or do I have to wait for a certain period of time? As always, thank you so much for the help. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 19:03, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. I'm so happy that I don't have to wait a certain amount of time (due to how long I've been on here) or have a certain edit count to feel like I am a part of the wiki community. I've been on wikis that certain conditions must have been met before getting to be able to go into the discussions. This wiki is MUCH better. Thanks again. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Question About Reverted Edits
Hi! I hate to bother you with ANOTHER question, but I just need to know this. I unknowingly made two mistakes on editing, and those edits were reverted. Am I going to get in trouble for that? I didn't mean to do it; I thought they were good edits until the revert. Then I saw my mistakes. I don't want people to think I'm a bad editor, since I am trying my hardest to become a great editor on here. Thank you so much for your help. I always appreciate it.

Black Backgrounds
Hi! I have yet another question. How do you make the backgrounds black on your fanon profile pics? Is that with Paint, or how do you do that? I would love to learn how to do that. Thank you so much. I hope I'm not bothering you with all my questions. I'm just very curious. Thanks again. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 23:44, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

Progress
Hello! I was just wondering how I've been doing in regards to editing. I know that I've been mainly adding links, but that is something I've seen needs to be done on this wiki and have taken it upon myself to try to help the wiki in this way. I was wanting to know your thoughts on how I've been doing, because I greatly value your opinion. Thank you and I hope you've been doing well. - S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 18:17, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Name Change
Hi! I hope you've been doing well. Long time, no talk. I just wanted you to know that I put in a request for a name change. I want it changed to Sapphire Moondust. I get tired of adding the asteriks and trying to remember my username everytime I log in. I wanted something simpler. Sapphire is my birthstone and I love astronomy, so that is why I chose Moondust. I just wanted to let you know before you saw a new name editing. Talk to you later! Sincerely, S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 21:05, August 22, 2015 (UTC)

Unblock request
Hello Icemandeaf,

I want to request an unblock for Ilovemondler. This user got blocked because this account was used as a sock-puppet. You know? On TSW chat you told me that I had to contact you again when I have information. EPIC got hacked and then VSTF blocked her because of her "disruptive behavior". But this was another user which I'm not going to mention here. Now EPIC wants to use that account to continue editing on The Sims Wiki. EPIC is a good and friendly user and I see no way that she would ever do bad things. I hope you and the other administrators will considering this.
