User talk:Lost Labyrinth

I'll reply here (unless requested otherwise) so it's easier to track a conversation as it's on one page. Please remember to sign your posts with 4 tildes ( ~ ). It would also be helpful if you leave a new message (regarding a new subject) under a new header at the bottom of the page so that I can find it and respond to it promptly.

RE: RE: Licensing Images
Is it just me or does it sometimes play up too. Like, it won't work, sometimes, but the invalid image licensing probably was because it wouldn't work correctly, and again, I am so sorry. :( 17:48, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, Wikia have had a bug for a year or so that has messed up licensing. It appears to come and go. I remember a time where a lot of users were getting the standard "license your images" message because of this so yeah it can mess things up on the administrative perspective. :/ 18:40, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Admin projects
Hello, firstly once again I'd just like to thank you for nominating me for administrator :)

Secondly I wanted to ask about admin projects, and it seemed like you were the one to ask as you are deemed the manager of them. I wanted to ask what you have to do in it, and if you think (because you were my nominator) that there were any that suited me best.

Sorry if this sounds weird, I have seen users be stripped of their admin status because they hadn't chosen a project, and I don't want that happening to me! :D ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? )  06:21, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's cool! :)


 * As for the APs, they're honestly pretty dead down to numerous reasons but to keep things short: some projects had little to do anyway, interaction within projects had dropped and patrolling the activity of these projects had also died as a result. I've tried either killing the system completely or thinking of a spiritual successor but nothing has come to avail and as it is, new admins are just being added to projects "for the sake of it".


 * I doubt anybody would care too much if you weren't added to a project based on their current status - those desysoppings from long ago were kind of activity-based too and I feel as long as one is active then what's to worry about. That said if you do have two things you would like to add yourself to then feel free to do so.


 * Hope this helps! Good luck with the tools and such. :) 22:22, March 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for your help! I'll just stay put for the time being. ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? )  10:35, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

i would like to appeal my ban
i didnt spam chat so why am i banned i suggest you unban me instantly
 * I'm not the one who banned you and regardless, spamming "bye" to get attention is not okay. The ban will be upheld. 23:51, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Hi!
I wondered how you customised the top part of your info bar, to show a different message for your userpage, to talkpage etc. And, the 'likes' thing, is cool. How did you do that?

Thanks in advance,

WayfinderOwl (talk) 00:28, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just used Title and added the custom parameter. For example, my talk page is using  to look how it is. As for the likes code, I'm using a personal template which you're welcome to steal. Mine just says   to look as it is. Just plop those wherever, customise them to your heart's content and enjoy! :)  00:32, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you! :D I will use them. I saw them when around the time I joined the wiki, and always wanted to know how to add them.

Notice about the Warning template
Hello fellow administrator. I wanted to make you aware of an upcoming changeover regarding the Warning template. You can see the discussion of this change here.

Starting now, a new warning template will be available for use. This template is currently available at NewWarning. However, on April 2, the new warning template will be moved to Warning and the old warning template will be retired. Please use this transition period to test out the new template before the full changeover. In the period leading up to the changeover, please report any bugs or issues, and offer any suggestions, in the new template discussion

The new template does away with the parameter of the old template. You can now make your warning more specific by filling in the parameter. Type will automatically load in text depending on the type and the level you select. Additionally, certain types have multiple 'levels', ranging from 1 to 3, with 1 being the least severe, and 3 being the most severe phrasing of the warning message itself. The types are:


 * Vandalism (entered as 'vandal#') warns against making non-constructive edits. The 'vandal1' message is the template's default message if no type is entered.
 * Blanking pages or sections (entered as 'blank#') warns against removing content from entire pages or sections of pages.
 * Removing content (entered as 'remove#') warns against removing useful and accurate content from pages.
 * Violating file policy (entered as 'file#') warns users that upload files or images in violation of the Image and File policy.
 * Disruptive behavior (entered as 'disrupt') warns users that attack other users, engage in edit warring, etc.
 * Sockpuppetry (entered as 'sock') warns users that are suspected of having control over multiple unauthorized accounts.
 * Additionally, there is a custom option available if none of the pre-existing types suit your needs. If you choose to use a custom message, the parameter should be set to 'custom' and the optional parameter will hold your message. If says anything other than 'custom' and the parameter is filled in, the custom message will not display.

So, to sum it up, the parameters are:
 *  : You should fill this parameter in, unless you're alright with displaying the default, non-specific warning text.
 *  : Fill this in only if you've filled in 'custom' under the parameter; otherwise, leave this blank.
 *  : This parameter is mandatory - include your signature here.
 *  : If you want to include additional information to the recipient, you can fill in this parameter. The text you enter will appear below your signature but above the 'boilerplate' message at the bottom of the notification.

One last thing... remember to substitute the template, just as you do when you use Warning. This is to ensure that any future changes to the template don't alter how it appears on user talk pages.

If you've got any questions about this new warning or its implementations, feel free to drop me a message. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 04:10, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

I would just like to point out User:Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hasnt been doing aything useful quite the opposit, have you seen the picture he put up, so i was wondering if you could somthing about it because there are some underaged ips who look at this wikia, so it could be bad for them.

Title xD
Hey. Y'know the blog post about this week. It said 2012 instead of 2013. I just thought that I would point that out. :P - 17:10, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Origin
Hello, I was suggested by Nikel if I needed information about Origin, to ask you. I've heard lots of bad stories about Origin and its security flaws, but I've also heard that some have found no problem with it. In your opinion, is Origin safe?Kajune (talk) 21:28, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * I haven't used Origin extensively enough to prove anything but its forced DRM and recording of usage statistics is off-putting. I don't know too much about the security flaws of Origin but I know it can be pretty invasive, if given the choice I'd go for Steam - it's a lot nicer. 21:47, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Ban
I understand. I guess I probably should've thought more about that before I said it; It was pretty offensive. ~ Анонымоус  Лонеp   ~  (chat with me, I won’t bite!)  23:00, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Your sysop flags
I've decided to return after a long undesirable break from logging in here. I understand though my sysop flags has been revoked (If I'd recognized it, I should've reacted fast). Never mind, being a normal user again doesn't different that much. See you! Walker guy94 Talk - Blog 10:00, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Justme13
Hi,

I am an administrator at Avatar Wiki, and one of the admins here has informed me that you have blocked Justme because you say he is underage - may I ask how you found out as he has made no edits on your wiki? 03:22, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * He was in the chat at one point and made a statement about his age that was fairly suspicious and also this. He apparently made a couple of edits to a deleted forum as well, so yeah he was part of this wiki.
 * Thank you for that information; though we probably can't do anything on our end as that was months ago, and there's no way of saying if he's had a birthday since then. 00:12, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

Adopt a user
Hi,

I was looking around this wikia and i found this. I added the userbox to my page. Also it seems kind of dead as Bakerychaz has been retired for a long time. So i was wondering could you adopt me or is it out of date. And if it isn't why isn't it easy to acces like Help:Talk page which i had to search up to find it.

I would be greatful if you could reply 😄 Blue12porcupine (talk)😄 11:41, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll happily take you on. Feel free to replace the userbox on your page with  if you want. As for the ease of access issue, I do remember adding it to the welcome message, though I'm not sure if it's clear enough (personally the whole thing could do with a re-write). Feel free to prod me when need be. Hope to see you around! :)  11:47, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks, now i got one of my goals complete yay. So how does it exactly work? It didn't say on the page. I would like to know how to create a cool signature. 😄 Blue12porcupine (talk)😄 12:03, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm basically that guy who guides you along the way I guess. As for the signature, you can utilise a variety of HTML and CSS to get something cool. Try finding an example, playing around with it a bit (like changing the font, colours etc.) and seeing how it looks. 12:09, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi again, i search on the web and found this. It helped so much. Look how cool my signature looks like. Mabey someone should add it somwhere on the wikia. I think wikia could do with more things on getting started. Heres my new signature ->

(resetting ident) Looks like a code issue. I've fixed it for you. 18:57, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, again. Sorry i have't been on lately i was wondering how do you make a userbox? Also could you check out my fourm on comunity discusion.  Blue12porcupine   talk  18:32, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * From a quick observation, you've kinda got it with the creations. 10:59, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Blog spam
ok its me... Mrs.red bird #1 girl in the world! 01:11, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

I wont spam again i want my blog back and that's all i wont spam again.
 * No. Your blog counted as spam and you abused the comment system with even more nonsense to compound onto your already misleading blog. I've also noticed you've had another blog deleted for a similar purpose as well as a warning for vandalism. Keep it up and expect your name to be attached to a TSW:ER entry. 16:16, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Images of Castaway Stories Sims
Hi there! I was wondering if you could add Copyright by EA|simcs|a Sim from Castaway Stories to this MediaWiki page, because I found that when I upload images of The Sims Castaway Stories Sims there is no option to choose a Sim from Castaway Stories (there's only for Pet Stories and Life Stories). I had to add the category later "manualy" and delete the option I picked initally (if you understand what I mean), so I thought it could be quicker if that option was added. Anyway, thanks in advance!  Cavia (  wheek  •   speak  )  18:43, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
