Editing building pages........

Am i allowed to edit Building pages,particularly the Krinks power station description and make changes to it.

Another question.If i were to post in the current description should i remove the "please sign your post " thing or should i just post on there and leave it like that?PayneTrain(NWO/FU) 16:31, 1 September 2013 (BST)

You're allowed to make changes to the descriptions of location pages, provided that your changes are in good faith and are written from a neutral point of view (they're unowned pages in the main space, so anyone is free to edit them, so long as they follow those two guidelines, more or less). And if you're making edits to the current news for a building...well, to be honest, I wouldn't, since those sections are rarely used or looked at...but if you do, then I'd leave the instructions to sign your posts, but then would comment underneath it, probably.

Thank you--PayneTrain(NWO/FU) 02:32, 2 September 2013 (BST)


really?

If you're going to lock cobras edit at least post an opinion on the new edits on the krinks talk page, please. This is not an issue of NWO vs cobra, this is an issue of cobra smudging our integrity, I hope you can give a decent 3rd party perspective on thus subject for the sake of the wiki and the one of the few posting rules you can enforce. Thanks H4ppy 24 7 03:52, 11 September 2013 (BST)

No, this isn't about any of those things. This is about the two of you acting like children and me taking away your toys until you learn to play nice with each other. The point is not for me to get involved; it's for you two to figure this out between yourselves while the page remains temporarily protected for a day or two, as per our standard procedure in response to edit warring. I'm not going to shove myself into this as a mediator with a third-party perspective. This is between you guys. I'm just giving you a few days to mull it over. Aichon 04:03, 11 September 2013 (BST)


You make me cry

How dare you don't list me as arbitraorer. --Rosslessness 21:08, 11 September 2013 (BST)

You're not the only one, Ross. I've been left out too. Damn it, Aic. I thought we had something special. :( I demand to be listed or I shall take you to Arby's for not listing me as arbitrator! --Axe Hack: The Legend Returns to the Wiki 21:31, 11 September 2013 (BST)
You've already been turned down by others. I only listed names that hadn't been turned down yet. Aichon 21:36, 11 September 2013 (BST)
I want a divorce. :( --Axe Hack: The Legend Returns to the Wiki 21:59, 11 September 2013 (BST)
We promised each other we'd never say the D-word! Aichon 22:22, 11 September 2013 (BST)
I want Grim to arbitrate. He is the ultimate jury, judge, and witnesses all in one. --Axe Hack: The Legend Returns to the Wiki 22:53, 11 September 2013 (BST)
Wehll, ah'll ask heem, but ah dohn't theenk he'll be verrah keen... ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 05:32, 14 September 2013 (BST)
I thought about adding you, but you have a knack for handing out even-handed judgments that leave both sides feeling like they didn't get everything they wanted out of the case. That's good most of the time, but it's not what I want here. Treat the omission of your name as a compliment. ;) Aichon 21:36, 11 September 2013 (BST)
At least he didn't exclude you in particular like he did me XD Bob Moncrief EBDW! 22:00, 11 September 2013 (BST)
You got excluded for basically the same reason as Ross. Take it as the compliment it was intended to be. :P Aichon 22:22, 11 September 2013 (BST)
i accept. think cyber will agree?--User:Sexualharrison02:55, 12 September 2013

I come back to find you embroiled in the most drama-tic thing going on on the wiki? Times certainly have changed.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 02:30, 13 September 2013 (BST)

I'm as surprised as you are. I figured there'd be an arbitration case at some point, since things were building in that direction, but not yet, and certainly not involving me. In fact, they just made their opening statements and didn't list a single complaint against me. It's just bizarre. Aichon 02:37, 13 September 2013 (BST)
it really didn't take much. and I'm surprised i'm not personally in the case. oh well Popcorn.gif --User:Sexualharrison03:06, 13 September 2013
Can I make a parody page of an arbitration page? I'll use all the nice lines and stuff that DT is using. Any rule against that?--Seekandyeshallfind QI PK 03:07, 13 September 2013 (BST)
I think that's fine, but make sure it's not in the UDWiki: namespace (probably your own userspace is the best choice) Bob Moncrief EBDW! 03:17, 13 September 2013 (BST)
If you parody me as an Arbitrato, so help me I will reduce you to a quivering puddle of tears and fecal matter, and then I'll make you spend Christmas with the BAR. ~*DOOM*~, etc.
And then I'll probably laugh at the parody. --DTPraise KnowledgePK 20:04, 14 September 2013 (BST)

Looks like you got out of this in time. Not a bigg fan of howw its going. --Rosslessness 23:21, 14 September 2013 (BST)

Well, I don't have many opportunities where I feel justified in baring my teeth, so I have to admit that I kinda enjoy them when they come around, and am a bit disappointed when they don't live up to expectations, which is what happened here. And I'm a bit surprised to hear you say that, since I had figured that you'd be handling it at least somewhat similarly. I.e. Relatively straight-laced, even though that may not be your preference. Am I off-base? Aichon 23:59, 14 September 2013 (BST)
Am I a shitty arbitrator? Tell me the truth, I can take it. --DTPraise KnowledgePK 01:12, 15 September 2013 (BST)
I don't think so, but you already have more experience in arbitration proceedings than I do, so take my word with a grain of salt. Aichon 02:41, 15 September 2013 (BST)
They're always going to be clusterfucks. Fine so far, but remember the wiki policies aren't up for discussion here, it's the actions of the people involved. Then silly beggars. --Rosslessness 12:21, 15 September 2013 (BST)


May I ask?

User_talk:Ayu_Milady/Archives is this okay or not? and.. where should I ask for things like this? thanks :) --Ayu Milady NWO member (┛ò__ó)┛彡┻━┻ 08:10, 14 September 2013 (BST)

Are you asking if it's okay to put it there? If so, absolutely. Anything that starts with "User:Ayu Milady/" or "User talk:Ayu Milady/" is in your userspace, and with a few exceptions, you are essentially free to do anything you want in there. This edit earlier was not okay, since there's a policy governing how custom titles can be used, but you've already corrected the problem, so what you have now is fine. As for where you can ask questions like these, you're welcome to continue asking me, of course, but otherwise you can use a page like UDWiki:Wiki Questions, where other people can respond more easily as well. Aichon 19:52, 14 September 2013 (BST)
Yeah, because usually people generate sub pages on user page, not the talk page. I see.. sorry for the custom title. Thank you for answering my questions. It really helps :] --Ayu Milady NWO member ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) 12:50, 15 September 2013 (BST)
you can do it how ever you like.. but i prefer only one talk page to check and edit. it just keeps down on the clutter and amount of time i spend on wasting time while wasting time.--User:Sexualharrison15:04, 15 September 2013
Okay... Right, thanks...... Sexualharrison. --Ayu Milady NWO member ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) 20:25, 15 September 2013 (BST)


WHAT SORRY

Oh my gosh what did I do? The best I can come up with is it saved before all 170kbytes had loaded properly. I did not mean to delete half of June and most of August. Oops. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 04:18, 20 September 2013 (BST)

Not only that, but it's not a talk page, it has a big box outlined in red at the top saying don't change it, and the top of the code reminds you in all-caps to not edit it. I'm super upset! FROWNY FACE!! Aichon 04:21, 20 September 2013 (BST)
I'm actually sitting here laughing out loud. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 04:32, 20 September 2013 (BST)

Template:If equal

Aichon - it looks like your change to the If equal template just now has broken the RRF target map (and presumably some other pages too... ) - I believe because that space you removed is needed by the Switch template. I've tested it out in my sandbox and putting space back in seems to fix it so I'm going to try reverting (just) that part of your change now...

What exactly did it break? I didn't see anything broken when I just tried removing the space again, and the space definitely isn't necessary for the switch statement to work, which makes me think that there's actually something on your side that was counting on some odd behavior in the template for the way it functions. If so, I'd like to fix it on that side, since it's preferable to keep such commonly-used templates as small as possible, and I really never should have put that space there in the first place. Aichon 23:50, 20 September 2013 (BST)
Ignore what I said. It is required. Or at least it is some of the time. No clue why it works for me sometimes and not others. Anyway, I'll be leaving it in, to say the least. Sorry about that. Aichon 00:01, 21 September 2013 (BST)
Thanks. All now working again for me. --Rick Dulton 00:54, 21 September 2013 (BST)
You likely won't see them for a bit unless you save the page. I imagine the if templates are quite heavily included. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 11:21, 21 September 2013 (BST)
Also the reason has to do with the {{Switch}} template because what you're essentially doing is overwritting variable 1 with a matched variable term. in their example the value becomes case: {{{width}}} which is then matched by the second case: {{{width}}}(or whatever it returns) building the variable case: {{{width}}} with a default value of default unless otherwise assigned. So you're making a variable that is {{{case: value}}}, if you remove the space from one you have to remove it from the other but if you do that you'll break every switch call made to this point. It's basically the closest that can be reached without an operands processor. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 11:33, 21 September 2013 (BST)
