Your main page prototype[edit source]
There's a very real chance that your main page may be implemented while the wiki is using the Halloween Theme. The theme is set to be rolled out this Wednesday. That means from then until we go back to the standard theme, your main page prototype won't match the wiki's theme. Currently the main page templates have been updated to use a new template, {{Theme color}}. Theme color outputs a hexadecimal color code depending on the input it's given. Right now it outputs two colors, green and blue; {{Theme color|<blue>}} replaces #2479A5 and {{Theme color|<green>}} replaces #49AB00. When the Halloween Theme is rolled out, the template will be changed, so each template that uses theme color will also update automatically. I'd suggest that you update any templates that your prototype main page uses to use Theme color instead of the hexadecimal color codes.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 06:20, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
- I had noticed that you added the halloween colors to the template - I removed them. This is because, when we switch to the new theme, I'm simply going to replace the green hex color with an orange hex color, and the blue hex color with a purple one. So the code for the color will still be {{Theme color|<blue>}} or {{Theme color|<green>}}, but the theme color template itself will be changed so that it displays orange and purple. The wiki headers ({{MP header blue}} and {{MP header green}}) are based on code in the wiki's .css page, which I'll be updating when the theme goes live. You can see how everything is set up on my test wiki. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 08:49, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

"Must reads" for The Sim's Pen[edit source]
I'm thinking that we need a better process for selecting fanons for the "Must-Reads" section of The Sim's Pen, since I don't want to repeat anything, and as time passes and more entries are published, the harder and harder it gets to keep up with things if we don't have a process for them. Maybe we could list potential fanons somewhere, and the next time we write TSP we pull from the list, instead of looking for some good fanon to post. --I am k6ka Talk to me!

Promotion to administrator[edit source]
Congratulations on your nomination and promotion to administrator! We're glad to see you join the administrative team!
Before you jump head-first into the action, I'd like to introduce you to these tools...
As an admin, you can:
- Delete and undelete pages, and view deleted pages
- Block and unblock users
- Protect and unprotect pages
- Edit edit filters
- Grant or revoke chat moderator rights (admins automatically get these abilities)
- And a lot more...
Please keep in mind that, even though you are an administrator, you're not "in charge" of the wiki, you're but a, shall we say... "janitor". You should only use your tools to clean up vandalism or for non-controversial housekeeping tasks. They should not be used to gain advantage over a content dispute. If you are in a content dispute, consult dispute resolution and talk it out with the other editors.
Don't feel like you're obliged to use your tools. You don't have to use your tools if you don't want to. If you're uncomfortable in a situation, you reserve the full right to back out of it, and ask another administrator to handle it for you. Remember, Wikia is a volunteer service! We want you to be comfortable editing here!
There is a help page on administrators over at Community Central. You can go there and read over how to use the tools! And if you want to experiment, you can play around in your own user space. If you have questions regarding the administrator tools, you are always more than welcome to ask us, either at the The Sims Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard, at our IRC channel, or on my talk page.
We're happy to have you on The Sims Wiki's administrative team! Good luck, and have fun out there! --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 00:39, February 16, 2015 (UTC)
RE: Moving TSP to its own page[edit source]
Yeah, that'll be beneficial. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 13:52, March 1, 2015 (UTC)
Re: Family tree[edit source]
By all means. It is really a trial and error type of thing to get it working. You can take a look at the template page {{Familytree}} to see how it basically works. You can also looks at my Sandbox to see how I have made it work. If you have any questions about how to do something, just ask. I am more than willing to help in any way that I can. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 05:18, March 14, 2015 (UTC)
Tsukitani needs an image![edit source]
Hey Tim. I've selected Fanon:Tsukitani to be in the next round of fanon battles. However, as the fanon does not yet have an image, I used a plumbob as a placeholder until then. If you could upload one I'll gladly change it. Thanks, --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 13:51, March 14, 2015 (UTC)
New here.[edit source]
Hey, I'm new here. Really sorry to be posting right now but I'm to young to have a wikia account. What's the minimum age? Please reply. 95.146.64.4 (talk) 14:38, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
- G'day, and welcome to The Sims Wiki! That's a very good question! To my knowledge, I do not think Wikia enforces a minimum age requirement for account creation, but I do know that some wikis encourage users to be 13+ before they sign up. I don't think that TSW does this, however for your benefit it would be best to check through all the policies before you create an account. Thanks for asking, and we hope that you can join our community! ―The Tim Man (Infinite Histories • Galactic Crucibles • The Sims Wiki • Hallows Maleficent • Why I'm here in the first place) 21:17, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
- They do, actually, because of COPPA. You have to be 13 years old or older to join Wikia. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:02, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
RE: Congrats![edit source]
10,000 edits? Hmm, I had no idea. Wasn't keeping track of my edit count. Although I've broken this record before, it's still a shock to see how much I've done here. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:02, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
RE: Chat?[edit source]
I figured it looks like I was snubbing you for those who weren't on Wikia Chat at the time we chatted (with me chilling at a downtown coffee shop and you at home, ready for bed, I presume. Man, time zones can be a pain, right?), so I figure I'd put forth what I suggested on that day for Fanon:Tsukitani...
- Needs an image to spruce it up
- Separate pages for lots, maybe?
- Probably need to create pages for the Sims before I can give you a qualified opinion on that
Don't know if I mentioned this, but it seems like you haven't added all the lot descriptions yet. Look forward to reading what you write!

Fanon development project proposal[edit source]
Hey Tim. I know you're an active fanon editor, so I wanted to see if you would weigh in on this proposal that I've made, to create a "fanon development project" (working title). If this thing takes off, we'd need people like you to be part of it, so I'd really like to see your feedback and get you involved in its creation. - LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 12:27, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

TSP first anniversary special[edit source]
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've been very busy this week, practicing improvisational theatre and generally making a fool of myself, in a good way (And also angry at Wikia for completely breaking JS and MediaWiki pages, forcing users to go through an approval process just to make minor changes. Maddening and bureaucratic.). Anyways, while I'm still somewhat busy this weekend I'll hopefully have some time to sit down and write. --I am k6ka Talk to me!
