==Edit war on Darleen Dreamer==
== Community input required ==
Random, I've locked [[Darleen Dreamer]] because you and [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] have been engaged in an edit war there. I suggest that you ''do not revert his most recent edit'', and instead start a discussion on Darleen Dreamer's talk page about the contested edit. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 21:37, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

*[[Forum:Late 2013 theme discussion|Planning our Late 2013 wiki theme]] (''note that we are idealy behind schedule as we initially planned to have this put into place by mid-September and we're now in the later stages of the month''.)
*[[Forum:Proposal to close Chat Moderator requests#Temporarily lock|Voting to temporarily lock Requests for Chat moderator so we can re-structure how the community deals with these requests]]
*[[Forum:Retiring the Inactive Administrator Policy#Vote|Voting to retire the Inactive Administrator Policy]]

Can I ask you in which game file you found the "names" of Jon Smith Tricou's descendants (Orion Teens, etc.)?

Hey, RandomRanaun! How are things?
I'm not really back permanently, just popping up sporadically to do stuff.
Anyway, I'd like to remind you that with the recent appearances of [[Olivia Goth]] and [[Samuel Goth]], you might want to sew them into the Goth-Caliente family tree? Also, it still says that you're 14 and in the ninth grade in your bio. What's up with that? Are you taking the Elixir of life or something? Cheers!

==Battles==
==Notice about the Warning template==
Hello fellow administrator. I wanted to make you aware of an upcoming changeover regarding the {{t|Warning}} template. You can see the discussion of this change [[The Sims Wiki talk:Admin Portal#New warning template|here]].
 
The time for the Darren Dreamer vs. Natasha Una battle has expired. How come no one has started the next battle. And why hasn't the winner been declared yet? When will the next battle start? [[User:C.Syde65|C.Syde65]] ([[User talk:C.Syde65|talk]]) 04:28, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
Starting now, a new warning template will be available for use. This template is ''currently'' available at {{t|NewWarning}}. '''However, on April 2, the new warning template will be moved to {{t|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 [[The Sims Wiki talk:Admin Portal#New warning template|new template discussion]]
 
Am I correct in saying that you are the one that usually runs the Sims wikia battles? [[User:C.Syde65|C.Syde65]] ([[User talk:C.Syde65|talk]]) 22:16, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
The new template does away with the <reason> parameter of the old template. You can now make your warning more specific by filling in the <type> 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:
 
== Can you do the battles this week? ==
*''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 <type> parameter should be set to 'custom' and the optional <custom> parameter will hold your message. If <type> says anything other than 'custom' and the <custom> parameter is filled in, the custom message will not display.
 
The current battle (Battle 87) ends on a date where I will be unavailable (see [http://tlaststand.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:K6ka/I%27m_on_a_WikiBreak_-_for_real,_this_time here]). Could you do the battles when it expires? Just for this battle - hopefully I will still be able to steal your job after that :p '''[[:User:K6ka|K6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 12:15, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
So, to sum it up, the parameters are:<br/>
:'''<type>''': You should fill this parameter in, unless you're alright with displaying the default, non-specific warning text.<br/>
:'''<custom>''': Fill this in only if you've filled in 'custom' under the <type> parameter; otherwise, leave this blank.<br/>
:'''<sig>''': This parameter is mandatory - include your signature here.<br/>
:'''<other>''': 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.
 
== Unused file notice ==
One last thing... remember to substitute the template, just as you do when you use {{t|Warning}}. This is to ensure that any future changes to the template don't alter how it appears on user talk pages.

== Images from families (The Sims 2) ==
Hi RR, how are you?
 
== Thank you! ==
I have a doubt. How can I get a picture of a family from The Sims 2, to post in an article here? I've tried searching in SimPE, but I couldn't. The type of photo I speak is like this [[:File:Burb family.png]].
 
Well I have to say thank you for moving the pages belonging to the members of the [[Singles Family]] to their correct locations. I personally would have preferred to keep them under the names [[Lola Curious]], [[Chloe Curious]], [[Erin Beaker]] and [[Kristen Loste]].
Thank you,

== Hi ==
==Editing other people's fanon==
I saw what you said about fixing stuff on other's people's fanons first. I don't have any beef with that or anything, but every time I edit someone else's fanon, it tranfers over to my username. How do I avoid that? Here is a prime [[Fanon:Tenmado Bloo|example]]. I edited it to put a cleanup template, and it transfered to being my property. Can you help me?

==Questions?==
==Re: Darleen Dreamer==
Hi Random. I'm a new member in this wiki. I wanna ask you some questions because you're one of the admins here. How do you extract household thumbnails? The one that you find if you save your household on your library. Also how do you make family trees for fanon families? The family trees that is usually posted on premade families? Thanks [[User:Gpod Joe|Gpod Joe]] ([[User talk:Gpod Joe|talk]]) 04:00, April 30, 2016 (UTC)
I don´t think it´s not needed: Ѧüя◎ґ said that I should make such photos. Go to my talk page and read message titled: ''Original appearance''. [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 14:50, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
