RE: Great kisser
I thought that, since trait names are always capitalized, I deleted the redirect so it will enforce usage of capitalization every time it's linked. Now that you mention it, I think it's a reckless move by me. :/ Do you think we should keep it and make redirects for all other traits?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  03:11, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. I honestly overlooked the search bar. Sometimes, some redirects are redundant and unnecessary, and I thought this is one of them. I guess I'm having a second thought now.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:04, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * It just occurred to me. Is the search bar case-sensitive?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:54, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've been trying to keep the number of unnecessary redirects low, but only for the unnecessary ones (like obvious misspelling of a Sim's name). That being said, there's no exact way to distinguish which is unnecessary and which isn't. I understand Wikipedia has a lot of redirects, and I believe it really needs a lot. But I guess we don't need to discuss this matter for too long? Unless you want to, that's fine. I guess there's no harm keeping this one redirect as it's already been made (before I deleted it).

Pages in user spaces.
Hi K6ka! :D

I wondered, would it be alright for me to make a page in my user space? I'm asking, because at the bottom of my sims fanons, I add a collapsable table, that has the links to the rest of the members of the family. As you can see here, at the bottom. As the family grows, more members will need to be added to it. It would save a lot of time, if I could make a page like User:WayfinderOwl/GothFamily then treat it like a template, like some people do with the /sig user space pages. That way I could edit it once, and the info gets changed on all pages using that template, rather than editing each page to just add the same link.

 * Cool. I will then. I had to ask, because I wasn't sure if it was against the rules. I did check, and didn't find anything. Best to ask, when it doubt. LOL, if I did have to edit every page to update the family table, I'd probably end up hating the Goths. WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:21, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Userboxes
Oh, thanks K6ka! I wasn't sure what exactly to do. I'll add those to the template. I made a Gunther Goth and Cornelia Goth userboxes, because I really wanted them. Other people might want to add them too. For the category names, what do I put, like "Users who are a fan of ____" or "User/____"

I might actually make a userspace sandbox, because it is starting to look like it could come in handy. Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out how templates work, I tend work on it, save the coding on a file on my computer, leave it for a while and come back. Then I could leave them there as long as I want. WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:06, March 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I tried adding that code, just like you said, but it didn't add the category. I put them here, on my newly made sandbox, and I think I did something wrong with the code. WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:35, March 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help. I knew I should have deleted that last message. 'Cause, I kinda figured it out, and just made the template here Template:Fan corneliagoth. I litterally clicked publish seconds before I saw your message. I got annoyed with not being able to figure it out, so I clicked edit on a template clicked edit, copied the codes and left without publishing. I'm still going to use the page you made. I've been meaning to make a to do list blog, but never got around to it. Now I can have a to-do list page. WayfinderOwl (talk) 21:32, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

That story of mine
In chat the other day, I promised that I would post the link to my story on your talk page. Here it is. Only four chapters have gone up so far, but it will be updated often, I hope. WayfinderOwl (talk) 23:22, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

User changing several pages
There is a user, 75.179.49.111, who has changed several pages on Sims that don't seem to be verified or even correct. I corrected on such change yesterday and the user changed it back as well at several others. I think an admin needs to get involved. Icemandeaf (talk) 22:19, April 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Icemandeaf (talk) 04:47, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion
I've just made this category, Category:Real people, and now I think it sounds very strange and not accurate. Maybe I should rename it to Category:Real life people or Category:Real-life people, or maybe Category:People in real life? What do you think?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:35, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Disappearing Graves & Game Corruption (Sims 2)
I need to clarify something:  I know that deliberately deleting tombstones / urns causes shredded character files, which leads to game corruption. That's why I never do that.

So the game files I brought over from my old computer to my new computer originally contain all graves, but somehow, none of the graves were physically visible in my new computer.

I take it that since I didn't deliberately delete the graves, the character files are still exactly as the game left them. As in, Claudio Monty has complete character data, but Specter's victims have incomplete data. From what I see on the Claudio Monty, Game guide:Resurrecting tips & Game_guide:Avoiding_corruption pages, it should be safe to resurrect some pre-made sims: the ones which have complete character data.

But what I'm not sure about: If graves go invisible even when the player didn't deliberately delete them, is the character file necessarily shredded as if the player deliberately deleted them?

This neighborhood in question is the MATY-merged Pleasantview-Strangetown-Veronaville. As far as I know, I am careful not to do anything that is known to corrupt the game, and have not encountered any bugs / major warning signs in the 1.5 years since I transferred my game files.

If you use SimPE, doesn't that help with bringing back deceased Sims, when transferring your game files over? C.Syde65 (talk) 01:30, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Username Signature
The information on the Special:Preferences page is too complicated and hard to follow. It would be nice to follow some simpler instructions. Also I want to know how to change the colour of my username signature. C.Syde65 (talk) 03:39, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

I see, but how I can put the links? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rizkirafu (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

RE: Your joke on your userpage
I personally didn't find it impolite either and I found it hilarious as well. But other people that I know weren't sure whether it would pass off as not being impolite.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:27, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Contributers and editting fanons
Hey,

It's not my place to say anything directly to the WCs who do this, but there do seem to be few that are ignoring the property templates. I think it needs to be made clearer that other users aren't supposed do big edits to fanon pages they don't own. I have seen a few WCs edit fanon pages made by other users, and some have edited two of mine with out asking me with incorrect information, that I have had to undo. The biggest edit on mine was the one on this page, who made this trivia addition of information which isn't true, and I have not indicated of the sim being reference to this Dexter they mention, because I haven't even heard of this show. Maybe a note should be added to the template or something, that if a user or WC feels a big change should be made to the page, they should just mention it in the comments? WayfinderOwl (talk) 17:22, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will. I wasn't sure if I could do that. Incase I was doing something only admins and rollbackers can do. On some wikis I've been on-but never actually edited on, people who posted on a person's talkpage telling them that they were breaking the rules, they would in turn get warned for acting like a syspop (is that how you spell the word?) I wasn't sure if it was a universal wiki thing, or just those wikis. WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:06, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll remember that. (I have no idea why I thought it 'pop' instead of 'op', lol.) It will be good to know for future reference. Sometimes I see unneeded edits to canon pages, but I didn't know what the procedure is other than edit undoing before. At least I know now. WayfinderOwl (talk) 21:42, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
