Featured Fanon Update
Should we not update the Featured Fanon/Author segment? (IIRC Starmoonie won the May (DanPin won April and due to an accident Starmoonie was put back to may) and as for FF, Mrs. Richest got the most votes) MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 20:25, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll try to get around to it today, and if I don't, just keep poking me and I'll eventually do it.
 * Poke MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 01:26, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * lol
 * Done. I'm hoping we'll get some votes for featured FanFic for next month though.
 * True. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 01:55, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Tabber again
Hi Wogan, can I request about tabber again? Can you make the tabber have a class like div class, table class, etc.? Or at least, make the background not transparent?  Nikel  Talk  16:08, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll try to do something with the background. Making div classes and such is sadly beyond my abilities.
 * Okay, then. Thanks!  Nikel  Talk  18:14, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Questions
Thanks for approving my rollback! Now, I have some questions. 1) how do you retrieve thumbnails for sims 3 for console sims? Note I have a PS3, not Xbox. 2) How do I go about joining IRC? Every time I log in I dont see where to converse with people. Facebookerror 05:31, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Defaultsort
Although I have encountered the defaultsort template before, would you mind enlightening me regarding what it actually does? MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 16:08, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * lol, I was a bit surprised why an anon would ask about that. Technically, it sorts the page in the category so that Fanon:Karoline Uptown, for example, will be listed in U (last name, first name), instead of F, due to the namespace. I don't know if there's any other purposes though.  Nikel  Talk  16:15, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * So it isn't about searching in the search box, eh? It's for categorizing purposes? Ok. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 16:26, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, mainly for categorising purposes. I really shouldn't have left fixing it all up for this long...

A little help
So I just realized that there's an icon for Store item in Era template. Can you get your bot to change all TS3 eras to TS3S for all Sims and families from Riverview before I make hundreds of minor edits again?  Nikel  Talk  16:02, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm on it.
 * Done.
 * Thank you Wogan! :D  Nikel  Talk  04:59, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Question
Hi, Im new to 'The Sims Wiki' (I have been on for Three days) and I've got the Sims 3 console. Now I was wondering since i Made Mario Oliver (My sim in the game). I made a new family (The Sunners Family) And I was wondering if i can put it onto the '"New families" list (If it's OK with you!)

Anonymous. :)
 * The nature of the wiki is to document canon content, that is content which comes with the game, and as such you can't add it. However, if you create an account you'll be able to make a Fanon page for your sims. Tell me if you have any questions :)

Featured Fanon update
Once again a poke regarding that field. However, at this moment we got two fanons with the same number of votes at the moment, although it seems like there will be no new votes any time soon. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 20:50, June 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nao that some time has passed... another poke. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 02:17, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Fanon Tagging
You know, I think I've kinda overdone it a bit. IMO, we shouldn't compare it to townies page, because fanons shouldn't be left in the middle of its story. Like, what if they've just even started and the next 2 months never come again? But I do agree that I shouldn't be doing too much tags. How about IRC? Can we discuss it there? Oh, and thanks, but I'm not done yet with the tutorials. I can only clean up the layouts and all, but I haven't had any idea to add to the contents.  Nikel  Talk  10:26, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and sometimes a fanon has a good layout, but at unfinished state too. This led me to confusion.  Nikel  Talk  10:28, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Categorizing Help
Hi Wogan. Can you help me again with categorization? This time is to switch categories from Category:Traits from Pets (TS3) to Category:Traits from Pets. I have no idea why it has (TS3) suffix at the first place. Thanks in advance!  Nikel  Talk  09:19, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm on it. Give me 10 or so minutes and I'll be done.
 * Woah, it's everything already! Thanks! :D  Nikel  Talk  09:46, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Featured Article
Hi! Thanks for replying to my nomination for featured article. I was wondering of you could review my next nomination. Thanks! Bakerychaz 12:47, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hello admin. I just realized that you haven't added Supernatural on the homepage as "Supernatural has been announced!". And on the tab above ^ where it says "Games", you need to add Supernatural to that as well. Thanks.

94.0.205.165 (talk) 16:18, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Already dealt with. 16:34, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Archive expansion
I think I might've mentioned this, but in any case it's pretty important. The archive expansion only works if the archived page is at : (e.g. The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal/Archive 1, or User talk:Woganhemlock/Archive 1); it does not work for archive pages that are subpages of  (e.g. The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/Archive 1), or for pages that do not end in /Archive (e.g. The Sims Wiki:Battles/Battle 1).

-  LiR speak ~ read 16:56, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks for the heads up, I don't think you did. I noticed it didn't work on my archives since for some reason I can't remember I've got them as user subpages. I'll go ahead and have a look for pages that I added it to w/ that format and revert it to the old one.
 * Fixed the battles pages, the rights request pages and pages in the project ns. Going to double-check for mistakes again. My apologies for this, I didn't know this would happen.

Rollback rights
Thank you so much for the rights; I really appreciate it. Bakerychaz 03:20, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Admin rights
Hello, this is Bakerychaz. I understand where you are coming from. I have only been on The Sims Wiki for 2 months. I will try to get more experience. Thanks for your comments, it really helped me. When I have gotten more experience, I will apply for admin rights again. Bakerychaz 11:20, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello, Wogan. I used to think that rollback is just the same as undoing something. Is it? I'm a tad confused. Bakerychaz (talk page) 05:10, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Rollback is more or less the same as undoing an edit, however it does not need to go through verification screens like undo. It also will undo all edits by that user to revert it to the last contributor, e.g. if I made 2 edits to this page and you rollbacked it, it would be as it would before I made those two edits. To quote help wiki: Users with the "rollback" permission are able to undo bad edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages, user contributions list, or the list of recent changes.


 * So, yeah, just a quicker version of undo. Leave a reply if you have another question or don't get it.


 * Thank you. I think I have got it now. I will leave you a message if I still don't get it or if I need somethig else. Bakerychaz (talk page) 05:39, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Randy William
hi the page i made Randy william got taken away i was new to the wiki (kinda) and i was makeing a bio for my sims give me one more time and the page will look awesome
 * Alright, I'll restore it and have a look again later.

Detag policy
Although I agree with the choice to maintain the tag on the fanon The Hardcore Life of The Sims 3, but I would like to note with utmost respect that any user can detag the article according to the revised policies. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 04:20, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hm, I never noticed that amendment. I guess I should have paid more attention, since I can't remember a discussion on it. Thanks for telling me.

Frame
Hey Wogan! I tried to add a frame to my userpage, but it wouldn't let me. Why? Bakerychaz (talk page) 10:51, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure. If you tell me the color you want it to be and such I'll be more than happy to put it on for you.

Featured Fanon
We haven't updated in June... So, UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! (Pweety pwease with sucrose on top?) MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 00:22, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I held off to try and get some more votes... lol that didn't happen. I'm heading off in a minute so I'll do it tonight/this afternoon (it's 10am atm here)
 * I understand that admin work is busy... but Y U NO UPDATE? D: MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 08:04, July 6, 2012 (UTC) Sincere apologies there, It almost appears as if I am doing this only because my fanons are having the votes.

Protecting userpage
Hey Wogan! I was wondering how I can protect my userpage so others can't edit it?  Bakerychaz  ( talk page ) 13:46, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * While it is indeed possible to do that, only admins can protect pages. And, as a rule, we only protect consistently vandalised userpages. However I have thought about trying to get a hold of a MediaWiki extension which would allow only the page owner and admins to edit all userpages, but since pages here aren't vandalised much, and the abuse filter catches a lot of it, it's not really needed.
 * Okay, thanks for letting me know.  Bakerychaz  ( talk page ) 01:48, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

92.37.171.251
I have a feeling if this sockpuppet IP belongs to Ladah Goth. Do you think it should be blocked?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:51, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * It already is - when I go to block it it says change block instead of block, so the IP adress block must have got 'em. Nice work with that - if you see any IP's/accounts that edit in a similar way - i.e. adding russian names for other languages, mentioning Ladah, etc, don't hesitate to swing the banhammer. I might try and write a bit of abuse filter code (or get someone to do it for me) to shut it down completely, or at least try to, they seem to have moved on to changing game names. An admin's work is never done.
 * Oh yeah, that explains the blank block log...  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:47, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Wikitable heading
What happened to class="wikitable heading-blue"? The blue header now won't work.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:41, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure. My guess some of the code in it isn't compatible with HTML5/MediaWiki 1.19 which we were just upgraded to. If you see any other things like this it's safe to assume they are caused by the MW update. Idk how to fix it though.

Newsletter
Hey Wogan! As you know by our discussion in chat, I want to start a column in the newsletter. I contacted DanPin about the newsletter while ago but I haven't gotten a reply. I also contacted MTDM, but he has stopped helping with the newsletter after I contacted him. Can you give me any info about my column in the newsletter?  Bakerychaz  ( talk page ·  blog ) 13:26, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, sorry.
