Thank you, automated message Duskey 22:29, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

HI!

HI! And welcome to The Sims Wiki! How are you? I hope you stay with us! You can message me if you want! There are many things you can do on this wiki, espiscally helping out article stubs. Anyway, if you have any questions message me or an admin! K? Nice meeting you! JUNIPER LEE 23:06, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed there's alot of work to be done. The Sims is a huge universe and I see many pages are missing relevant info. I'll be sure to add stuff as I go along :) Duskey 10:51, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Need a Hand

Hey, I saw you just edit so I figured you're online. Can you go to the Glitches page and tell me if you see a picture on that page? Ironically, the Glitches page may be acting glitchy. Thanks! --LostInRiverview 07:04, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I see a picture of three sims there in the right side. Maybe we need a Glithes page for the Glithes page. Duskey 07:06, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
I keep looking at the page's code and I cannot figure out why there's a picture there - I certainly didn't (intend to) add it, and it doesn't fit the page at all (except that it's a glitch :p ). Thanks for giving it a look! LostInRiverview 07:09, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
It's gone now anyway, I guess you figured it out. Glad to be of help. Duskey 07:16, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, someone edited the Needs image template so that all articles that have that notice on them would have a picture of the Twinbrook Baker Family! It's just that the Glitches page was the first one I noticed it on. Thanks again for your help! LostInRiverview 07:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Need ambitions info template

Sure, you can use {{under development2}} or {{Missing-info|<Ambitions>}}. --a_morris (talk) 13:21, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I have made the changes you suggested to {{under development2}}. --a_morris (talk) 20:37, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

"Perks"

I understand the idea of getting away from the word Behavior/Behaviour and the argument it will no doubt spark, but it's arguable at least in some traits whether the perks are perks at all, case in point Absent-Minded... do we want to use the word 'perks' or is there a better work that embodies both positive and negative effects? LostInRiverview 07:22, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ah yeah, I hadn't thought of that. My mind drew blanks on that that one. Facts... ingame data... something... abilities? No. It basically just needs to reflect that its text copied from the ingame tooltip. Duskey 07:28, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
And the game doesn't use a word to describe it? LostInRiverview 07:29, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
No, it just lists a short bullet list when you hover over a trait that your sim has. We'll think of a better word for it on the List of Traits talk page. Duskey 07:32, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Kids and fitness in TS2

I didn't notice that kids could gain or lose fitness until I had installed Seasons. I don't know if that was added in Seasons, added in an earlier Pack, or is present in the base game. I don't think it's in the base game, but I am not sure. Dharden 05:46, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I honestly can't remember either, I just added the confirmation template for good measure. I don't have Sims 2 installed at the moment so can't really check. | Duskey | 05:52, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to barge on here and "eavesdrop" but I am 99% sure that fitness levels existed in all incarnations of TS2, including for children. For example, if memory serves me, Buck Grunt was a fat precreated sim in TS2. LostInRiverview 05:57, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you !

Thanks for deleting that annoying page! :) Why was (the evil) Bleeh deleted? I hate her and am curious (ThesimsUk 17:20, June 14, 2010 (UTC))

I don't know who Bleeh is, I'm kinda new here myself. | Duskey | 17:27, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

500 edits

'500 edits since February 26, 2010' it says. | Duskey | 15:07, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hidden traits

I didn't delete the article, since that might break links, but I did redirect it to Trait#Hidden Traits. Dharden 17:06, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

From what I can see, Big-T redirects to small-t, which now redirects to Trait. Makes sense to me. Dharden 19:32, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
Don't know offhand what the Rules on double redirects are, but I've fixed it so it's no longer a double redirect. Dharden 20:03, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Time Machine Talk

About a sim hour after traveling to the future my sim randomly received around 80,000§. I don't read the notifications so I don't know what happened in the future for her to receive it. Sorry I couldn't give you any more information, I suggest that you remove it and/or simply note somewhere that it's unconfirmed or something Guffers 20:17, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Help with a template

Duskey, if you can try taking out the line breaks between the if statements, like this: 

{{#if: 
... 
}}{{#if:
...
}}

--a_morris (talk) 20:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

The problem is the sample of the template on the doc page, which adds the category to both pages. To get around this you can add {{#if: {{NAMESPACE}}|<namespace - leave blank for main>| ... }} or use {{Checkmns}} around the article category. --a_morris (talk) 13:58, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
The categorizing does work even when it is a subpage. (You hadn't updated the template on The Sims 3/Patch 12). Also sometimes the template or page the template is transcluded on will need to be refreshed to show the changes right away. Great work! --a_morris (talk) 20:47, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
To sort add |{{PAGENAME}} It's explained in the category description. --a_morris (talk) 21:29, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
I think the template just needed refreshing. --a_morris (talk) 22:04, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion

Hi again Duskey. I've seen you on so much in the last week or so, so I figured I'd ask your opinion of an idea I've been floating around my head. I want to see if we can implement some sort of Editor of the Month recognition feature on the mainpage. The basic idea is that editors that do a lot of good work for the wiki are nominated by their peers on a monthly basis (similar to the Featured Article voting process). For details, go here. I'm looking for any suggested improvements or criticisms before I try to push this wiki-wide. Thanks! LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 14:41, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

See WP:NOTPERFECT & WP:ADMINABUSE --a_morris (talk) 04:29, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a ton!

That actually helped me a great deal! I already knew about the Traits template ({{Mental (traits)}}), so I went into that template and edited it so that every page with that template will be added to the Mental traits category. Now all I have to do is add the template to all the mental trait pages, which is better than adding the category then the template to all the pages. Again, thanks a lot! LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 04:33, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Here, have this. Thanks again! LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 04:35, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
AWARDS
No, actually I haven't been doing that. I agree it needs to be done, but I can only focus on one task at a time or I get distracted. When I go through, I can go back again and tackle that. LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 04:38, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
It was either that, a sunflower or a tulip - take your pick. You're right, a good award would be nice. Even a smiley face would be good, for users who are kind to other users. LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 04:43, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Actually, in some pages, I did start using the {{clrl}} template, but I admit I didn't use it universally. The traits, in my eyes, are about 80% standardized, which is ok considering they were rushed in, but eventually I think the style of each will eventually match, through constant little edits.

1000 edits

Click for larger image.

This is my edit #1000 since February 26, 2010.

I guess all that testing on user pages paid off :p

Re: Image copyright

I would suppose that, if a user draws/creates an image from scratch, that user would hold the copyright. I'm not sure about screenshots of a webpage, but I don't recall seeing copyright notices on webpage screenshots elsewhere. Dharden 16:56, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
