==Your main page prototype==
There's a very real chance that your main page may be implemented while the wiki is using the [[Forum:Halloween Logo|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 [[User:WikiBuilder1147/Main page design proposal|main page prototype]] won't match the wiki's theme. Currently the [[:Category:Main page templates|main page templates]] have been updated to use a new template, {{t|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; {{t|Theme color|blue}} replaces #2479A5 and {{t|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. -- '''[[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>''' 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 {{t|Theme color|blue}} or {{t|Theme color|green}}, but the theme color template itself will be changed so that it displays orange and purple. The wiki headers ({{t|MP header blue}} and {{t|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 [http://lir-test.wikia.com/wiki/LiR_Test_Wiki my test wiki]. -- '''[[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>''' 08:49, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

== "Must reads" for The Sim's Pen ==
 
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 [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 03:17, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

== Promotion to administrator ==
 
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:
 
*[[Help:Delete|Delete]] and undelete pages, and view deleted pages
*[[Help:Blocking|Block]] and unblock users
*[[Help:Page protection|Protect]] and unprotect pages
*Edit [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter edit filters]
*Grant or revoke [[Help:Chat#Chat_Moderators|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 [[wikipedia:WP:DR|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 [[w:Help:Administrators|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 [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|our IRC channel]], or on [[User talk:K6ka|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 [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 00:39, February 16, 2015 (UTC)

==RE: ‎Moving TSP to its own page==
Yeah, that'll be beneficial. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 13:52, March 1, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Re: Family tree ==
 
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 {{t|Familytree}} to see how it basically works. You can also looks at my [[User:Icemandeaf/Sandbox|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. -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 05:18, March 14, 2015 (UTC)
 
== [[Fanon:Tsukitani|Tsukitani]] needs an image! ==
 
Hey Tim. I've selected [[Fanon:Tsukitani]] to be in the next round of [[Project:Fanon Battles|fanon battles]]. However, as the fanon does not yet have an image, I used a plumbob as a placeholder until then. If you could [[Special:Upload|upload]] one I'll gladly change it.

== New here. ==
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. [[Special:Contributions/95.146.64.4|95.146.64.4]] ([[User talk: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 [[The Sims Wiki:Policy|policies]] before you create an account. Thanks for asking, and we hope that you can join our community! &#8213;'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • [http://hallows-maleficent.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Hallows Maleficent] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Why I'm here in the first place</font>]])'''</sup> 21:17, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

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 [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 15:02, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
 
==RE: Chat?==
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!
