Question
Hi there!

I was just wondering where you got your user picture from. If you could tell me, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Random Ranaun!

I hope this is the right section. Are you still accepting entries for The Sims Fanon Wiki Logo contest? I was thinking of submitting another, despite the amount of votes I got. I was rushing it and didn't take a lot of time on it. I noticed it was said that late entries may be counted.

Thanks for your help in the future,

Serena♥Sim 19:27, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you but I'm having a bit of trouble since my newer submissions are deciding to cause a little.. havoc. :) Would you mind helping me, please? Again, I am very sorry to have to ask you but the "None of the above" catagory seems to clash with my entries. By that I mean that the text in there likes to sit beside my entries.

Many apologies for troubling you (I don't want to end up messing up the page),

RE: IRC Channel Problem
No idea. Everyone else has been able to enter the channel fine. Have you tried logging in with NickServ? If you think Chatzilla is a problem, try entering via here. 19:47, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Email
Hello there! I thought I should contact the entire admin team about this, since this is a little bit off-wiki but still, from what I and some contacted admins can see, an idea that could be beneficial for The Sims Wiki.

I am currently in the planning - almost creating - process of making an email account for The Sims Wiki. This account, while not needed extremely, could bring a large amount of positive things for the wiki.

Firstly, this is a smaller The Sims Wiki version of Special:Contact. Through this, we can send surveys to users about new features or ideas we implement. Do the users agree with a makeover of the Community Portal? Do the users want this policy to be added? What ideas do users have for the future?

Secondly, we can use this for more private, though still completely controlled, user reporting. If I see someone being rude to me and don't want to "look stupid" by reporting it to an admin, which some users do think, what do I do? I send an email through, and let an admin read it and check what's been going on. Note: This isn't a "I emailed first!" scenario, every user involved, included the sender, will be investigated.

Thirdly, and this is completely optional for users, they can "subscribe" to the newsletter. This will be where they allow us to send a monthly, if not bi-weekly, email, containing links to active votes and discussions, the Newsletter, open positions, new features, etc.

Now, I still have a lot of ideas on how to use this productively, but another reason I'm contacting all admins is to sort out something. I know that I may not be completely trusted by all of the admins to handle this alone so I am going to ask all admins who wish to join the project to say so on my talk page, and I will send the password to you once the email account is activated. Currently, I prefer as little users managing this account as possible, due to problems that may arise if all admins had access to the same account. I would appreciate only bureaucrats requesting the password if they like, but I still encourage admins to request it if they wish.

Please note that this account will not use my, or any other user's real account password, as that would be pretty dumb to hand out on a silver plate.

I hope you all read this and think about ideas and or reasons to oppose it.

Have a nice day further.

Fanon Wiki
Hey RR,

Just letting you know I put a message on several talkpages of users at fanon wiki, telling them to show opinion on the merge. I still think we need to find another way to do this merge, though, because they are giving no opinion or anything. Anyway, I'll be on the IRC the time I'm always on tomorrow, and if for some reason I don't show you can give me a message if you have any ideas to how we are going to do this thing. I'll tell you if anyone adds their opinion on fanon wiki. -- WoganHemlock (talk) · (blog) 07:51, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Beaker family tree.
Hello, how are you ^^?! I think Beaker family's tree could be changed, since Nervous Subject was adopted, I think a note regarding that in the family tree image could be helpful. Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:56, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Question about family tree pictures
I have posted a question in the Hogan's Deep Fried Diner portion of the Forumns and the question is what program is best to use to create a family tree picture found here on The Sims Wiki and someone said that you do the family tree pictures here on TSW and I would like to know what you use to do the best quality of work? I have home premium of Windows Vista and soon to get Mac Book Air or Mac Book Pro for birthday this year if all things goes well and I can do it on the new Apple products since I am a MacHead. What psoftware do you use and could you teach some one to do it for other sites? Thanks., Sundogs Current wikis' talk page • Wikias' Talk Page • Wikis Managing16:21, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Family trees
how do you make the family trees? Emeraldisverycool 05:55, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Family Trees have gone too far.....
Excuse me, but I have noticed that you have been posting alot of family trees. Usually this would be a good thing but you are posting family trees and the only thing you have changed about them is putting the family name in the middle, no offence but I really don't see the point in it.

Glitch
It appears that something isn't working for this fanon page since it does have player stories and fanon categories haven't been added yet, and there's actually one mainspace category in the page, what could we do? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 14:52, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, i want to ask you something as opinion, is Elvira Slayer the God or Queen Vampire? Jones143! 02:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

WHICH KIND OF QUEEN?? An Queen who cant be beat by anyone, or the queen that can be beat by someone, i never seen her. Jones143! 02:22, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

List of Memories
Hey, I think your list of memories is really cool. You designed it like list of moodlets. But it's incomplete, however. Do you intend to finish it? I'd like to lend a helping hand if you want to. Anyway, are you going to make it into List of Memories page? Nikel23 16:22, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Read It!
Read Fanon:Being Vampire King And It's Effect see what you think. Jones143! 03:10, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sim templates
I like the new templates, but I think there are somethings we need to fix, for example, fanon categories were excluded from the template, they should be re-added, also these new templates desformatt the text of an article, such as Dorie Hart, some sentences appear above the template, there is also a strange glitch in the page's end, which is something saying "Obtained from >link of the article<". Also I do not think we should have a thing saying "biography" in all sim templates, it's too much and the caption could be simply below the image, and about also I do not think simbio-starts should have colors. Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:44, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, I am very sad at this cahnges now, I think they are quite allusive to the game, but there are many aspects missing, we had already so many categories including the economic status and many other things that went missing with this change, also when we add to the template the age of a Sim, they appear in the category "Sims missing their age", I am very disappointed :(, this was a very good idea, but the work done is extremely bad. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:11, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Sim templates glitch
When Sim templates appear on namespaces such as "User" they shouldn't have categories, but there's a problem and they show up categories, on example is User:Kiwi tea, is there any way to fix this? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:13, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also I think simbio shouldn't be connected (see Flat Broke), the simbios should be located above of the text (only for the cases where there's more than 1 simbio) as it would be more helpful since we would check the templates more easily without being distracted by the text, for example in Flat Broke page simbio3 isn't very well colocated as many people end reading and do not see it since it's located too much on the bottom. What do you think? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:50, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

A repeat offender is vandalizing/blanking articles.
A User that was banned before is vadalizing pages and blanking them. http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:92.235.213.114 That is the user. Can't you guys Perma Ban that user? The Black Scorpion 12:55, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Missing Image
Hey RR, I noticed while I was modifying my profile to use galleries instead of static images that the Sims2_logo.jpg file is missing. Over 100 pages use this file! And yes, I know I'm a workaholic - SoaringDragon 06:04, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Simbio and Pets
Hello :)! Sim templates appear to have the pets section, but Simbios do not as the section doesn't appear in the real article, see Fanon:Marcia Dortheimer who has pet but doesn't show up in the template, could you add it to teh template? Thank you :)! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:32, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Social class in sim and simbio templates
I saw you have not included the social class categories in the Sim templates, as looking by this page Category:Bohemians, do you want to keep it like that? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:17, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also puting "None" in children section on templates should not include a parents category :p (see Fanon:Irina Bulls). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:10, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Family Tree
Could you please add File:Seamus_O'Bryan.jpg and File:Deidra_O'Bryan.jpg to the King/Greenfield family tree for me? They are Lynn King's parents. Thank you much! --NY22Giants22 06:54, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Mysterious Mr. Gnome has a flaw
I asked everyone here and on TheSims3.com forums and the forums on the Sims 3 site gave differennt statement than The Sims Wiki article on Mysterious Mr. Gnome. The question was is it a glitch or actual gameplay of having the variations of Mysterious Mr. Gnome being bought? I accidentally know this from actual gameplay in all neighborhoods in The Sims 3 and thought it was strange. Needlesstosay that I asked both parties forums and found it is actual gameplay and it is possible to have Mysterious Mr. Gnome variants be at the consignment store in buy mode. In basic terms, the Mysterious Mr Gnome article is inaccurate when saying it is NOT buyable. BUT, I found out from personal play of the game it is rare enough to find one, but, to purchased four different gnomes at the consignment store is indeed buyable to say at the least. May I be allowed to change the no to yes on all gnomes? Source topic listed here Is this acceptable ofme to do or do you want prove? MrsCrumplebottom 22:27, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims 2 Icon
Hey RR, like you asked on IRC yesterday, I managed to get the desktop icon for The Sims 2, which you can find here. I have added it to the TS2 page but it seems to be a slightly lower resolution than all of the others (I blame GIMP for that :P). Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted a higher resolution version or whatever. 13:15, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

How did both of you get the images and icons? Nikel23 16:00, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much! It looks great! But could you also add and ? They're Gary King's parents. I am so sorry that I keep bugging you to add people. I keep forgetting them! I feel like a pest. So don't rush to get this done. Thank you so much for all the stuff you've helped me out with!

Era template
The era template is messing up with pages, and now when on pages it shows up "TEmplate without documentation" do you know what's happening, an example page is Kingdom? I don't :(. -- Guilherme Guerreiro ( talk here ) 09:36, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this on every page that uses Era. I've temporarily reverted the template back to the last version on the 2nd of July which didn't cause any category issues but the icon is showing on the top left of the page rather than the top right. If you've found a fix, then your rollback button will come in handy here! :P 16:51, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
