Rollback Rights
Thank you so much for the rollback privellages. I will use them wisely and still continue helping the wiki. 🌹 Deathbee1000 11:09, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

A user...
You know what's more dreary than calming down an angry user? I don't know about you, but to me, finding out that the recently-angry user is underage. Now I feel guilty about it... How long should he be given a block?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:35, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I generally block for one year - although since this user stated they were 10 I wold be inclined to block for three years. You could also take into account their behaviour - if it was me, I'd block for 1 year, or possibly consider an infinite block due to their continuing behaviour compounded wit being underage. It's up to you, thats just my opinion.

fanon on TSM wiki
Hey, I got your TSM wiki message and I do have a problem. I can't find the fanon portal, so I can't make a fanon story. Is there another way to start a new fanon page, or get to the portal?Hurshbr (talk) 22:33, December 6, 2012 (UTC)Hurshbr
 * To my knowledge TSM wiki doesn't actually have fanon, and I'd recommend you write it here since TSM is under the scope of our fanon namespace even though only a handful of articles on it are written, and it'd be more often viewed. Also, the message you got on TSM wiki was from a bot that signed it as me. Leave a reply if you have any questions.

rumors
This is in regards to the rumors page, particularly the posts about the Sims 4. I, as a reader, fail to see the relevance that April Fools’ Day pranks and A SINGLE player’s speculation hold ANY significance as to when the Sims 4 will be launched. And seeing as EA has Sims 3 games slated for 2013, it renders the player’s conjecture moot. Please consider revising the article to better reflect actual new and rumors rather than Fan created filler. Thank You. 98.228.22.209 (talk) 06:13, December 7, 2012 (UTC)A reader.
 * Hmm... good point. I don't actually think its that relevant myself, but I wasn't the one who added it. I'm guessing the post by that guy on simprograms is included because it kinda gives a rough idea of when we could expect the game to be released, although if the rumors and such of 10ep's/sp's is anything to go by, it probably won't be next year. As for the April Fools Day Prank... I honestly have no idea why that is included.

RE: Rollback
Wow, thank you so much WH! I can't believe I'm getting recognition from such an experienced editor like yourself!

I'll go and take a look at the request now. Thanks so much once again! ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? )  07:46, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Paul Best
Hey! Please stop changing Paul Best into a human sim. He is a warlock when Supernatural is installed.


 * No he's not, it is randomly determined with story progression. Just because he's a witch in your game doesn't mean he is in other people's games.

Your input is vital on a discussion!
Hello there. This message is to request that you give input on this very important thread regarding notability and what constitutes as being notable on The Sims Wiki. You have received this message as you are statistically one of the most active users on The Sims Wiki and your thoughts on this subject would be much appreciated. Thanks! 21:34, December 22, 2012 (UTC) This is an automated message delivered by Bawt (talk). If you have any questions, please direct them to my owner.

Gnomes...
Hello there! Long time no talk (I've been busy making fanfictions :p) So yeah... I browsed a page about magical gnomes and I want to confirm an antic of my sim's gnome pointing at ingots on a dining table (I'll try to upload a picture of it tomorrow) LolitaG (talk) 11:38, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Ok, let's get something straight here! You cannot just delete my pics, ok? Why would you even wanna do that! Come on, soo not cool! That was just rude! I uploaded those for a freaking reason! Sheesh! How would you like it If I did that to you! Please just leave me a message or something explaning why you did that! Ok, I need to know your reasoning for that! :(

Um, ok are you like an adminastrator or something? Is that why you deleted my pics? I mean, even if you are, I still don't understand why you deleted them. I'm just confused, like were they innapropriate or something because I was very careful of that! So, I don't see how they could be. Help me out here! Sometimes I can just be a stupid fourteen year old girl! I just tend to get really defensive! *sigh* I still need an explanation! Please!
 * My apologies for a late response as I was busy elsewhere. Firstly, yes I am an admin here, and secondly I'd thank you not to get angry at me. As for why I deleted them, there is an image & file policy here, and you can't simply upload pics without licensing, and all images you upload need to be used somewhere, not just cluttered around like yours were. Sorry for any inconveniences, leave a reply if you have any other questions.

I am sooo deeply sorry for my retarded childish behavior yesterday! I was just extremely angry and as I said in my second message yesterday, sometimes I just tend to get really defensive! Alot! I've only been on The Sims Wiki for like a year. Oh, and is there any way I can delete my embarrasingly angry forum post? Cause there's no way I'm leaving it up!
 * It's okay :) I'll delete the post for you.

thanks

Hello
Hi im jondo123. I had joined the sims wikia for 2 months and i still try to learn things from people and admins in the wikia. I want to ask: 1, How can i will be a good writer? 2, How do i can get sims portrait? 3, How can i list thing like trait, hidden trait,etc ? 4, How to fix grammar problem, stuctures,...? If you answer i will be appreciate. Thank you. Have a good day! :)
 * Sorry for a late reply, I've been busy lately. In answer to your questions:


 * 1) There's no way to become a good writer other than by practising. If you're writing fanon, read other peoples work, and if you're making mainspace articles like one on a sim look over some similar articles to get a feel for how they are written.
 * 2) I don't know myself, however I do know it involves simPE. I believe Nikel has some experience in getting the images, you may want to ask him.
 * 3) For listing traits on sim articles there is parameters in the infobox, check out sim3 documentation for more info about it.
 * 4) Improving your grammar is much like improving writing. Practice and over time you will get better. If you make a page and the grammar isn't so good, you're more than welcome to ask someone to fix it up for you - indeed, the collaborative nature of wikis means that such problems are fixed over time anyway.


 * Hope I've managed to answer your questions, reply if you have any other concerns.

Thanks for your help!

Just like last time, you might as well make this a permanent block. That's TheCadenm11 again. Took me all of 5 seconds to figure that out. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:42, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup
Hello, I don't like what you are doing to Fanon:The Story Of 3 Young Adults, Fanon:The Story Of 3 Young Adults Part 2 and you are putting a cleanup tag on one of the pages i don't edit anymore i'm on part 3 right now not part one or part 2 so please don't put tags on the pages i don't edit anymore. This is getting me a bit angry.
 * It doesn't matter if you're not editing it anymore, it still is going to be tagged. Please don't remove the tags again
 * WH, why do the parts 1 and 2 getting the tags? It seems like it has enough content (I have skimmed). Is it because of the format involving the pictures?
 * Edit: I have tried to look at it more in depth, and the chapters do seem a bit short (at least that was the case with part 1: Part 2 was a bit longer, and probably don't deserve the tags). As for you Fanboy123, I highly recommend that you do something about the pictures and the format (it's messy), and perhaps flesh out the chapters a bit more. As of the moment you have around 12,000 bytes in 3 pages, and I suggest you merge it into one page, although this is merely a suggestion, as some of the featured fanons are less than 10,000 bytes long, while many of mine are well over 50,000 bytes.

 * (edit conflict) Mainly that and the fact that it looks sloppy with a lack of paragraphs and instead using a new line for every sentence. There is a few grammar mistakes but in general I don't care about that and overlook it. Mainly if you compare it to some other fanfiction articles i.e. yours and some of the featured ones you'll be able to spot them easily.
 * (added after conflict) Yeah pretty much what you said, page merging sounds like a good plan (as a suggestion maybe 12-15 chapters a page?)
 * (added after second edit conflict) though remember quantity =/= quality
 * Frankly given the dialogue-centered format of the story, I'd say making paragraphs a bit difficult. However, I have noticed that the chapters are short, and there aren't descriptive statements that compels (which could be solved by say adding descriptive paragraphs). I have exhorted Fanboy about this, and informed her on how to fix the sloppy formatting. Let's just hope Fanboy don't take this the wrong way.

 * However, I do feel that the Bella And Mortimer story is not in a need of a tag. The chapters are stubby, but it has enough content and it only needs to have the bolds converted into quotations with a possibility of some chapter merges. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 03:33, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe I tagged that one because of the large amounts of bolded text. If that was fixed the tag may as well be removed.

adoption
Hey...It seems like you know a lot about the games and the wiki. Could you adopt my user?Hurshbr (talk) 19:24, January 24, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr
 * Thanks :) If that's what you want, its fine with me. I'm not that sure how the user adoption thing works though, so ask me anything you're having trouble with I guess, and I'll try my best to help you out. Just so you know, I'm in Australia and have school during the week so it might be a bit difficult to track me down sometimes cause of timezones and such. If this is a problem with you you might want to ask someone else.

Just asking

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 04:11, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
