User talk:Cryptic Lynx

Welcome! Welcome to The Sims Wiki, Cryptic Lynx! Thanks for your contributions to the User:Cryptic Lynx page! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and help us improve the wiki! Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what pages other people have been editing, and where you can help. Questions? You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, leave a message with an administrator or post a message on my talk page! Need help? The Community Portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit. You may also try asking for help on the IRC channel, where some users may be able to help you! Want someone to guide you along the way? Check out our user adoption program which is designed to help out new and possibly inexperienced users like yourself. Spotted some vandalism? We have a team of administrators who will happily deal with vandalism when they see it. If you have found some vandalism from a user who hasn't been sanctioned, you can help by reporting it! Please sign in every time you edit, so that we can recognize you! Want to get noticed in the community? Well, we have tons of opportunities for you! The Forums are a great place for The Sims and The Sims Wiki related questions and games! Not your style? How about a chatroom with your fellow contributors? Have some fun on the IRC channel or on-wiki chat feature! We are also the host to a variety of community created contests. Want to suggest a change for the wiki? Feel free to ask on the community discussions forum! So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and have fun! I'm really happy to have you here, and I look forward to contributing with you! --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 02:47, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page! Go ahead and talk about me.

account change

I'm just posting this to double check: do you intend to only use this account from now on? If so I can set up a couple of things to redirect all your old stuff to this account. ―ฬђ ^talk 02:33, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, thank you! That would be great, I already shifted my ownership of my only fanon page to this account. Cryptic Lynx (talk) 02:35, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

In the future, did you know you can rename your account? It's usually a better alternative to creating a new account entirely. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 02:36, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

I already had this account in confirmation, but it had an error relating to the fact that you can't type underscores into the confirm box. I had to make the account XCrypticxLynxX until I could figure out what happened. I did try to change it, but because it was already going to be confirmed, it wouldn't accept the change and claimed the account already existed. Thanks, though. Cryptic Lynx (talk) 02:38, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

I've redirected all stuff from your old account to this one, and I've also blocked your previous account as a security measure. Additionally, since the bot didn't seem to leave the message correctly, welcome to The Sims Wiki, and if you have any issues feel free to ask me. ―ฬђ ^talk 02:42, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

The bot is usually late with the welcome message, so I've manually added it above.

And underscores should be treated the same as regular spaces in usernames and page titles; I'm guessing its an issue with the input box Wikia made. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 02:47, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, probably. But it's not really important, the other account was really new anyways, so why is everyone all over my talk page? Cryptic Lynx (talk) 22:27, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Questions

Anyone can put cleanup tags on any article when it is appropriate.

Most likely no, and if someone does nominate it, consider discussing with them at Category talk:Candidates for deletion, as deletion is a process (with some exceptions). --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 23:33, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Questions

The |game = parameter must have the argument "The Sims 3: Pets" in order for the relevant traits (that were introduced in The Sims 3: Pets) to appear with icons. For example, at Fanon:Tiger Bell, the icons do not appear became |game = has The Sims 3, instead of The Sims 3: Pets. Since those traits weren't base game, they won't appear. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 16:50, December 16, 2014 (UTC)
