Would it be possible...?

Would it be possible to create a forum like [1], but for Urban Dead?Cookies and Cream 05:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

A general urban dead forum you mean?-- SA 11:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Gage, Canuhearmenow asked me to make him a skeleton of a page. Just leave it alone and let him work. –Bob Hammero ModB'cratTA 02:31, 28 August 2006 (BST)

{{MentorNewbie}}

I agree with what Thari said on your {{MentorNewbie}} template, but if you really want to keep it, make a correction: The Project Welcome page doesn't have any kind of newbie's tip at all! You wuold do better in directing newbies to the {{Welcomenewbie}} template directly instead of the Project Welcome page so they can gather some tips there.

Anyways, I don't think anyone wuold mind if you make a string of text on the {{Welcomenewbie}} template announcing that if they want they can find a mentor on Project Mentor, and use that one instead of your template. As long as it's NPOV I don't mind neither. --Matthew Fahrenheit YRCT+1 05:01, 12 September 2006 (BST)


How long

Should unanswered/answered requests be kept down there? Mine was still here 5 months after I put it there. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 07:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Just A Query

I'm not exactly a newbie but sometimes, y'know, I have questions. I've already bogged down the FAQ enough and this seems like a goodwill organization so I figured I'd just ask it here. I was wondering how one would go about making a redirect page? It's kind of a bugger that searching for one's username warrants no links unless specified to search for usernames, which is not done by default, and I'd like to simply patch over from searching for Pyrranha straight to my userpage. Not like anybody would ever search for my username, but the point is still valid, y'know? --Pyrranha 03:00, 11 May 2007 (BST)

Actually, since I'm asking questions, how would one go about creating a table of contents? That would be very helpful. Thanks. --Pyrranha 03:00, 11 May 2007 (BST)

Sugjested addition to signature formatting

I wanted the "M!" in my signature to more closely match the Project Mentor logo, so I pulled out my DigitalColor Meter, and determined that the best "Wiki Safe" color was CornflowerBlue (well, I'd already decided that, but I wanted to look at the RGB values, since the Hex values didn't match).

Here's the existing signature:

[[User:YourName|Your Name]] <sup>[[Project Mentor|M!]]</sup>

This is what I would suggest changing it to:

[[User:YourName|Your Name]] <sup>[[Project Mentor|<span style="color: CornflowerBlue">'''M!'''</span style>]]</sup>

This results in an M! rather then an M!.

Subsequently, I realized that, registering as a newbie, I wasn't actually supposed to add the "M!" to my signature, but regardless... --Morgan Blair 05:10, 15 August 2007 (BST)

Just FYI, adding {{M!}} will now produce the same thing... so if you were to add it as part of your signiture, like I've done, it will be there for others to see. -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be. 02:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Do not do this. Adding template calls inside templated signatures increases the speed in which templates fail in high use pages. Use the normal wiki code in your signature. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem!

Sounds good to me.... -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be. 21:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Then you're obviously an idiot, templates failing in places like Talk:Suggestions or admin pages is not something amusing moron. I see A/D in the future of this template. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem!

Excuse me,... all I said was that I'd change it dumbass.... -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be. 22:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Except the way you said "sounds good to me..." could easily be misinterpreted as you saying the template was good. I'd have thought so had I not just seen the discussion on A/SD.-- SA 01:16, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Member registration

Um...shouldn't you guys remove the inactive members? Like Canuhearmenow, for instance? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:42, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

They should really remove themselves, and I imagine it would be a little irritating if I've been gone for a month or two and come back not on it. However, I think it would be good to remove anyone without any edits in the last few months, so newbies aren't stuck in limbo waiting for their mentor. I'd say remove the inactive ones, and leave a message on their talk page letting them know that they have been removed. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 23:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Well....I don't think Canuhearmenow is coming back in a long time...last time I saw him active was like...January. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Signature Help

I'm having a little trouble with my signature, when I use it at the end of a post then all text put under that turns into superscript, how is this happening? --MikhailTalkJournalGroup

TEST 04:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
You need to do what I just did to your signature in your preferences, the </sup> needs to follow the </small> and you need to close all font tags. The new code should look like this;
--[[User:Steve Tikhon|<font color=Indigo>Mikhail</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_Talk:Steve Tikhon|<font color=#008800>Talk</font>]][[User:Steve Tikhon/Journal|<font color=MediumBlue>Journal</font>]][[RHA|<Font Color=Red>Group</font>]]<font color=black></font></small></sup> --Karekmaps?! 04:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I think I see what I did wrong. MikhailTalkJournalGroup

Little Help?

Hello mentors!

here's hoping you fellows have experience with group pages; I'm currently working on an image for a group, that involves putting a few images together. I'm currently working in paint, b/c i don't have experience with other programs, or the software. I find everytime i go to save my file as a JPG, so i can up load it to the wiki it distorst the colours.

Can anyone provide some advice, or help creating the image? A group image can be very important when recruiting or trying to spread your name. and i've not been able to find a way around this. --Jack S13 T! PC 15:12, 22 April 2008 (BST)

Ok, n/m. I found the PNG format, and it doesn't alter my colours at all. thanks anyway --Jack S13 T! PC 18:09, 22 April 2008 (BST)
