How to Log In?
Please can you tell me how to log in? I try to but I can't. 94.1.188.247 (talk) 22:08, October 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * There should be a login/signup button in the top right corner of the page. Alternatively search Special:UserLogin or follow this link. I believe it has a signup option too if you're looking to make an account.

Hey!
Hi Wogan. Been a long time since I last saw you around. How are you? Let's have a chat on IRC when we're not busy some time.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:28, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm going well, thanks for asking! And sure, I'll be on IRC a fair bit, just ping me to get my attention.

An award for you!
Trying to flood recent changes are you? Or just modernizing the default sort templates for the good of the wiki? :P --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 05:07, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Haha, thanks! Yeah I noticed that the defaultsort tags are painfully out of date and I'm going to update them and probably do a couple of other things while I think of it. You might not even see this reply since I did the sane thing and flagged myself as a bot for the time being!

You're still flagged as a bot
You made some edits while still flagged as a bot. Since you have, could you use that account and un-bot your main account so we can see you in recent changes? Thanks. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  02:05, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * I prefer to use the bot account to distinguish between awb and non-awb edits. I've still got a bunch of fanon pages to fix the defaultsort tags on which is what I intended to use the flags for so as not to flood recentchanges. I got sidetracked; I'll try to power through the rest of the fanon and unflag asap.

Fanon
Why did you edit my page about that cat to note that it needed cleanup to fit the standards? I had already put the under construction template, I already know there's barely anything on it yet.

 * Because it doesn't meet the standards as is, if you improve it I'll remove it. Remember quantity =/= quality although it is somewhat of a factor. This is an example of what I would state of meeting standards, although you probably would not need to make it this long. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

RE: Reverting message
The reason was because of some of the context in one of the earlier revisions the anon made - programming can be a massive pain in the *** to do because - which I mistook as bad faith and / or spamming. I didn't notice that the anon had added any valuable information before and after. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 06:55, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's one of those traits that I'm trying to combat. Fortunately those incidents that I get myself into aren't occurring as often as they used to. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:03, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

I've been busy with work for ages, now i've come back to this wikia and you've deleted three of my wikias for no reason at all? I am so annoyed as my others are fine, but a random three has been deleted. I put my time into everything on them!! Its making me want to not use this wkia. i'm beyond pissed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewbrianc (talk • contribs) 22:12, November 19, 2014 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * Your page was literally just a simbio template. If you read the fanon standards you'd know I have every right to delete them on the spot and I was being lenient by actually giving you time to improve them. I'm sorry if you're upset but I was just doing my job.

The Sims Wiki News reminder (23 Nov 2014)


Hello Woganhemlock. This is to remind you that according to The Sims Wiki:News team, you signed up to be the backup writer for this week's edition of The Sims Wiki News (23 Nov, 2014). If the news blog isn't posted by 12:00 UTC today, you may work on and post this week's edition of The Sims Wiki News yourself. Thank you. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

RE: rollback nomination
Thanks a lot for nominating me for rollback rights! :D OoppDecks (talk) 14:18, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Wikia.css
Apparently K6ka said that you might know how to fix my mediawiki.wikia.css so that #BFD7FF will be the colour of my wikitable mw-collapsible table. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:02, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * At a quick glance I think you can just do it by changing  in the template to whatever colour you want, at least that's what the edit preview screen is showing me. Let me know if it doesn't work.
 * No it hasn't worked. It's now pale blue, but it's just pale blue. It doesn't match the templates on my Sims wiki user page. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:30, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. I thought you wanted the whole thing changed. Adding

th { background-color: #BFD7FF; }
 * to the .css file should give the desired result.
 * Actually you might want to put this in MediaWiki:common.css so it applies to both the wikia skin and monobook, or else monobook users won't see the change.
 * Thanks! It has finally worked! :) --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:52, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

December 7th news
Hey wogan, just wanted to run something quick by you ~ I am supposed to be writing up the news for Sunday the 7th of December, but due to commitments in rl, I'm unable to do so. I've already asked LiR and k6ka via IRC, but they both have other commitments. So, I was wondering if you could possibly cover for me? It's alright if you don't have the time or whatever, I'll find another user to do so, just figured I'd give you a shot! Cheers. Beds (talk - blog ) 21:30, December 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * I should be able to write it for you. I'll get it out sometime this evening.

Your avatar...
So I was reading the latest news blog you wrote and upon seeing your current avatar, I have to say it's just so... wow. Just... wow. That's all I've got to say. #SimCity4FTW  19:23, December 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * tfw cant use the animated version in avatars ;-;

My Wikia.css/Monobook.css/Common.css Again
Hey I was wondering if you could tell me how to change the background template colours for templates like [The Sims Wiki|these ones]], since I want to know how to modify the colours for templates on my test wiki.

On the Sims wiki there are several different templates and several different colours. On my test wiki, the only background colour is the one for my wikitable. Apparently it now serves as the default option for all similar templates I make.

All other colours won't show on the template, for example when I try to add the "blue" colour to the welcome template, the colour doesn't show.

--  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 04:46, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Many of the main page templates (read: all) weren't written by me but I'll have a look over them. I'm not really sure what you're trying to do but I believe you would be able to do something like the assorted family nav templates on your wiki, if its a coloured template you're looking for. These don't require any type of .css modification and can be used on any wiki. If you're talking about the header thing on the template that's controlled by a div class which is essentially a set of rules for a specific amount of text which is contained within the tags. We use a bunch of div classes on TSW which are defined through common.css. For instance:

div.headingblue { background: url("http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/fr/images/4/40/Bandeau_bleu.jpg"); color: White; font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -o-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #666666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #666666; -o-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #666666; box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #666666; }
 * When added to .css, you can type text to produce this . Its worth messing around with div classes a bit to get the hang of them because they can be used to good effect. I'm pretty sure by adding that to your common.css file your problem will be fixed, assuming I'm understanding correctly. Additionally, you might want to do a ctrl+f of "div" on tsw's common css page because there might be some other things that you could use, i.e .headinggreen which is used in the social media/reminders sidebar in wikiActivity. If you need something else or if I've completely missed the point leave me a message and I'll get to it as soon as I get a moment.


 * I've tried it, but it doesn't seem to have worked. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:15, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
