I wanted to make sure you got this sooner rather than later, and I'm not sure how often you check the To do, so I'll ask it here instead.
 
As I'm importing pages from The Sims Medieval Wiki, there are a number of things which need to be cleaned up, mostly involving categories and links. Many of the traits or fatal flaws use the same name as TS3 traits (there are two evils, for instance, [[Evil]] and [[Evil (The Sims Medieval)]]). Obviously, some redirect system should be set up in these cases, but first it's essential that any pages that link to (in this example) Evil be re-linked to the correct page (if [[Evil]] is made into a redirect page, that is). Otherwise, some other redirect system must be thought up. This is the same for [[Trait (The Sims 3)]] and [[Trait (The Sims Medieval)]] as well.
 
So, a bot would be useful in making sure any TS3 traits that are changed have the links connect to the correct traits, in making sure that references to TS3 traits and Medieval traits link to the correct pages, and in making sure the categories used on the pages imported are correct (most are not). In this case, The Sims Medieval Wiki used [[:Category:Traits]] for Medieval Traits, while I've set up [[:Category:Medieval Traits]] for traits from that game.

Hello, A morris! ^_^ I have created a [[Template:GetPetTraitImage|template]] for [[Template:Pet]], but only for the The Sims 3, can you add the referred template to the Pet template?

== Template:Sim ==
Line 377 ⟶ 384:
Hi, A morris. I'm not sure if you would be able to do this, but I thought I'd ask you anyway. Would it be possible for you to modify Template:Sim so that it only categorises pages if they are in the Fanon or Main namespace? My reasoning is I've seen many userpages with the template and it incorrectly categorises the user's profile pages into the categories which are determined by parameter input. It also clutters Special:WantedCategories with categories determined by paramteres users have used. Thanks! {{WHsig|23:09, October 30, 2011 (UTC)}}
:I've tried adding {{t|sim}} to [[user:Woganhemlock/testing|my test page]] ([http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Woganhemlock/testing&diff=328656&oldid=327518 diff]) and null editing a page which already had the template on it via my [[User:WoganBot|AWB account]] ([http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=User%3AA.P._Freeman&action=historysubmit&diff=328657&oldid=133003 diff]), ad the categories are still there. If you're looking for more examples, here's [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sims_who_love_fish_n%27_chips one], [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sims_who_love_mac_and_cheese two], and [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sims_who_love_00%27_pop_music three] other examples, with a few more such categories scattered in [[Special:WantedCategories]]. {{WHsig|06:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC)}}
::Thanks a lot for that! I was just going to clean out [[:Category:Fanon Cleanup]] and noticed something odd on some of the pages in it, namely [[Fanon:Abbey Acai|this]], [[Fanon:Bailey Bloom|this]] and [[Fanon:Mark Popp|this]], which is the categories are acting strange. I noticed it categorises them into mainspace categories instead of fanon categories, e.g. [[Fanon:Mark Popp|this one]] into [[:Category:Sims who love pop music]] instead of [[:Category:Sims who love pop music (fanon)]]. It used to be fine and only appears to affect parameters to do with a sim's favorites, leading me to think it might be related to the other issue above. If you'd be able to check it out it would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day! {{WHsig|07:32, November 1, 2011 (UTC)}}
 
== SimCity ==
 
Hi, A morris. I've been around Wikia since 2007, and I thought I could offer some help to this wiki. Although, it seems everything is well maintained and help may not be needed. Nevertheless, I'm experienced with Wikia coding, and I'd love to become a part of this community.
 
However, I've noticed that SimCity content is not included here. Is there another wiki for that content? If not, I really enjoy SimCity games, and that area of the wiki could be constructed by yours truly. Thanks, [[User:Annawantimes|'''<span style="color:#000080;" title="My User Page">Annawantimes</span>''']] [[User talk:Annawantimes|'''<small><span style="color:#008080;" title="Soon to be my Wall, Unfortunately">(Talk)</span></small>''']] 00:58, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 
==IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT==
 
Due to some issue with my old account {{userlinks|Wir.wiryawan}}, I decided not to use that account anymore. I post [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Admin_Portal#IMPORTANT:_User_change my announcement here]. Thank you :) [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 02:20, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 
==Protect==
Hi A morris, I want to tell you that I protect you page so it will not being vandalize again when you absent. [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 08:58, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 
== Unlockable Interactions: Films and Literature ==
 
Hello. I just amended your submission for the hobby-specific Films and Literature interactions (within the [[Hobby]] article) with a clarification.  Until ''very'' recently, I myself didn't make the connection between this "Book Club" and the ability to Discuss novels with other Sims, and apparently someone in Yahoo Answers (whom I discovered when I was Googling "The Sims 2 Book Club") didn't make that connection either.  So in case it's not just me and the game itself isn't being perfectly clear about the Discuss interaction being more-or-less the whole of this Book Club membership, I left this clarification.

==Potential E3 Questions==
Hey there Allison!
 
My name’s Mike and I’m with Wikia’s gaming ComDev team. Just wanted to say hi and ask you a quick question about E3. As you might know, E3 is one of the biggest game conventions of the year, and it’s right around the corner. We may have the opportunity ahead of the show to interview some folks from EA, and would love to ask them any questions about The Sims 4 that you or the other admins may have.
 
Here’s an example of a community interview we’ve done before: http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:Expert_Showcase_Special_Edition_-_XCOM_Enemy_Within
 
We really like letting Wikia communities ask the questions, because they’re very knowledgeable about their game of choice, and ask extremely in-depth questions that regular news outlets don’t.
 
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in doing, feel free to submit any questions you have here, or directly to me at mgrimm@wikia-inc.com
Hope to hear back from you soon, and thanks again for all your edits & contributions to The Sims Wiki!

==Welcome back!==
I know that you haven't been active since before I joined this wiki, at least until recently. But anyways, it's great to see that you've returned, whether you've decided to return to regular activity or if you've just decided to make the occasional edit or two. Also I've just noticed that it was your birthday a few days ago, so happy belated birthday! :) I probably would have said that sooner, had your name been on the birthdays list. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:45, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
