| If you use Fire Fox 2 do you think you could look at [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:Suicidalangel&oldid=1315114 this] revision and tell me if Engel's character box is in the middle of the page, and not after a giant stretch of space?

I made some changes to fix the way it looks here, but I'm just curious now.--[[User:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkMagenta"> dǝǝɥs </span>]] <small><span style="color: Crimson">oʇ </span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">ɯɐds:</span>]] [http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Joining <span style="color: MidnightBlue">sʎɐʍ1ɐ!</span>]</small> 01:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

| Thanks for the comments boxy. In answer to your questions.
| |
| *Yes. It will be time consuming, about 6 weeks worth in fact. But i reckon I can probably remove 30% of all groups. After which it will be less stressful, they've just never been properly done before.
| |
| *In future I will make it burb specific, but for now its just the truly inactive groups im purging. Besides who wants to get dragged into a "Were active in this suburb" debate? A hilly suburb on our western border alone would probably implode if i asked that question. I will make the cahnge but not yet.

| So, with the suggestions. It says: ''Individual suggestion pages that were spamminated or removed from voting.'' Does that mean any page that has closed? Or just withdrawn and spamminated? Matts wording was: '' for spamminated or otherwise closed from voting suggestions''. So I suppose that qualifies for a schedueled protection, right? (And do I need to put the [[Template:Protect]]?) Lastly, for some reason, I'm getting the unprotect button instead of the protect button on almost every UDWiki namespace pages, like A/PM.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 16:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

| Hello again Boxy. Sorry for turning your Talk page into a free-for-all discussion (below), as that was not my intent. As such, I have started this new topic just to clarify your recent suggestion. To confirm, you are suggesting that I edit the [[:Template:Suburb]] to include a link to NecroWatch (to the relevant suburb section) among the other links (i.e. iWitness, ect)? --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 19:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
| |
| :I'm not sure how you've set up your necrowatch system, but a link similar to those at the bottom of the suburb template, linking to where people can go to update the suburbs necrowatch page/s would be appropriate I would think. Does each suburb have a "NecroWatch/Dulston" (or similar) page? <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 00:35 31 December 2007 (BST)</small>
| |
| ::[[NecroWatch]] follows a standard similar to the one already used by building status ([[NIC]]). The NecroWatch site acts as a central repository for all of the NT NecroWatch templates, while each individual NT location wikipage supports its own individual template (display only). The template information is stored as sub-pages of NTStatus, one for every NT wikipage location. It's this sub-page that the user updates and the changes are then displayed on the previously mentioned wikipages. The only potential I would see for including NecroWatch on a suburb wikipage would be as a link to the NecroWatch section pertaining to the NT facilities/scans for that suburb (something like this: [[NecroWatch/A_to_D#Dulston|Dulston]]). Obviously if a suburb had no such facilities no link would be required. What do you think? --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 02:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
| |
| :::Well that system wont work on the suburb template, I'm afraid, unless you make a redirect page for each suburb to point to your [[NecroWatch/A_to_D#Dulston|Dulston|link]] and then point to that.

| |
| ::::On the problem of how to direct the links, based on the fact that we would be using a single template (i.e. Template:Suburb), I have a solution that would work. How about we simply incorporate a variable into the Suburb template to support directing the sub-page (i.e. A_to_D) that I can then set for each suburb individually and as for the anchored link (i.e. #Dulston) we could use the <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> utility template? Or more specifically, the Suburb template would include wikicode like this: <nowiki>[[NecroWatch/{{{SubPage|A_to_D}}}#{{PAGENAME}}|NecroWatch]]</nowiki>.

| ===Animated GIFs and Sysop-dom===
| |
| First, the major topic. It would appear that Grim is cleaning house in the Sysop list, which is a noble effort as I like to do something similar with my efforts on managing group member lists. No point including someone who isn't around, or contributing. I gave it some thought and if he is set on this course of action I think it would be in our mutual best interests for me to step down as a Sysop. That allows him to better manage the Sysop list (i.e. only listing those who really are there to perform those duties) and I get back to what I do best, non-Sysop work on the UD Wiki. My only real complaint was the implication that I was just being lazy, when in fact I never agreed to do anything more than I currently was doing. So, yeah. It was fun, sort of, but I'll step down to resolve this issue. So I suppose my question is, what do I need to do in order to do that? --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 00:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
| |
| :Grim isn't cleaning house of inactive sysops, he's argued against all formal policy so far aimed at that. He's just seems to want you out. If you don't want the hassle, then ask for [[A/DM|demotion]], or if you want to see if the community still supports you keeping your sysop status (they are the ones you're serving, not Grim, not me), put yourself up for [[A/PM|reevaluation]] (if you can handle frank criticism). I don't know if I'd support your reevaluation, but as far as I'm concerned you're doing no harm with your sysops powers, even if they arn't fully utilised. At least what you do clean up of your own doesn't need to be handled by the rest of us <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 06:28 30 December 2007 (BST)</small>
| |
| ::Hmmm. Well even if Grim's motives are speculative, the fact remains that I don't often use any of my Sysop-granted powers and I certainly don't perform Sysop duties. So on the one hand I don't want to step down if the only reason is because Grim has got a bug in bonnet over something I did (again, he specifically didn't ask me to step down, rather he requested I just do the Sysop work), while on the other hand he does make a valid point, I don't plan on performing Sysop duties beyond those that I have already performed. I suppose I could wait and see whether Grim is still serious about his request. If he pursues an answer from me then I'll know I need to provide him with one. I think what I find the most interesting is that I was originally voted in even after I stated that I would only be acting as a Sysop in a limited capacity, and maybe even leaving the UD Wiki (back then). So in that regard everyone who voted in favor of me knew what to expect, as my goals are strictly aimed towards improving the UD Wiki through clean-up and wiki projects rather than administrative duties. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 17:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

| :::Im not sure if i should laugh at the absurdity of your ideas or cry that you are dumb enough (And more importantly, paranoid enough) to leap to that ludicrous conclusion. As i have said, i would much rather you took up the torch of responsibility, but if you dont want to do the job then you shouldnt have the power. Its plain simple. Saying that you got voted in means nothing. Its patently obvious from the promotions candudacies of late that people will vouch for anyone who posts even a moderate amount and doesnt tick them off. Things such as suitability nearly never come into play. Besides, its not a vote, and having read your promotions bid and seen everything there, i can pretty much say your promotion was a mistake, in light of your comments that you probably wouldnt be around. To be honest, i think your persecution complex of late has been brought on by the fact i submitted you to [[A/VB]] for spamming. That has nothing to do with you being a sysop, and everything to do with you spamming. --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 18:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

| ::::I think I should begin by asking, which idea you are referring to as absurd? I can also assure you that I am in full control of my mental faculties and am not in any way paranoid as you have implied. I think if you will carefully review what I wrote you will see that I simply stated the facts as I know them and speculated two possible outcomes based on that information. I admit what little information I have of your personality is biased by those I have spoken to, of which some hold unfavorable opinions of your methods. Perhaps that was wrong of me as I usually try to be agreeable with everyone I work with. If anything I am all about self-improvement, so I will cast aside those potential misconceptions about you and start with a clean slate. I should also point out that I was completely unaware of the recent "spam" allegations made against me, and I can only assume that you believed my comments were in some way rooted to that complaint (which they were not). Thus, we can conclude that I do not a persecution complex because in no way do I feel persecuted. Maybe a little pressured, but just a little. Certainly nothing really worthy complaining about. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 19:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

| Next topic, and one slightly less important, how much leeway do you grant to animated GIFs in terms of the recommended maximum image file size (i.e. 150KB)? In my opinion the file size limit is in place to prevent huge image files or such that take forever to load and thus slow-down the load rate for the Wiki. Right? In the case animated GIF files the GIF can load similar to streamed video, with the key factor being how long it takes to load a single frame. In this case I have an animated file with 50 frames, each 10-13KB each (125x100px, meant for a template). In total that's a file size of 550+KB, but the animated GIF will start up based on the load times of the individual images, or a few each second or so until it gets up to full speed having loaded all of them, but at no time are users left staring at nothing. I have tried to lessen the number of images, but as the animated GIF is not a sequence, but rather a series of random images associated with my topic, reducing their number lessens the original purpose. I can show you by uploading the 50-frame animated GIF to the Wiki, and you could delete it should you find it unacceptable, but I wanted to check with you first before doing anything along those lines. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 00:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

| :I don't make wiki policy, and I don't know of any in regards to image size (other than the suggestion on the upload page). [[Wiki Questions]] would probably be the best place to ask. I will say, that having a relatively slow connection, images like [[:Image:Demlogo.gif]] are a pain in the arse to load. Even if the first frame comes up quickly, images further down the page often don't come up until it's totally loaded.

I'm hoping though that while my animated GIF would have more frames, their scale (125x100px) will improve the download rate.

| Is this already in place, or does it still need to be put through? My policy:
| |
| ''One of the most basic newbie mistakes is to create a userpage under [[YourName]] rather than [[User:YourName]]. This can be incredibly frustrating to wiki users that try to find if that person has a userpage, and can confuse the person when they are welcomed on their [[User Talk:YourName]] page, not to mention if they vandalize- accidentally or not- and they need to be warned or banned. This is a problem that needs to be minimized as much as is possible, and so sysops need the power to merge these pages on sight, rather than having to go through other approval.''

| ===Defining NPOV===
| |
| I was going over old talk pages and such and noticed that you were interested in building a real and applicable description for NPOV for the Urban Dead wiki, when I checked I saw it still [[NPOV|has never been done]]. The wikipedia description of NPOV has many major short coming when applied here and there are plenty of flaws with applying it and I think defining NPOV for Urban Dead is a necessary thing that could settle a lot of disputes. It is also something I've been looking for a way to try to do and get a consensus from users on for quite a while. So, that being said I would like to talk with you about setting up a definition for NPOV for the wiki through discussion of POV issues and such to see if we, and other users in the community, can come to a definitive conclusion on what can and can't be allowed(such as we all know that original research must be allowed but what about requiring proof, etc.). I'm sure we could discuss it on talk pages but mabey it would be best if we did it on the NPOV page talk page so everyone could participate and announce it as wiki news.--[[User:Karek|karek]] 23:35, 7 July 2007 (BST)
| |
| :Well, I've started the [[Talk:NPOV|talk page]], let's see where this goes -- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User_talk:boxy|T]] [[Location Nuts|Nuts2U]] [[Dead Animals/Redux|DA]]</sup> 01:07, 8 July 2007 (BST)

| === erroneous "article" ===
| |
| Somehow, this [[User_talk:Insomniac_By_Choice|user talk page]] is included as an article at the bottom of [[:Category:Current_Suggestions]]. And because I'm not fully sure how those those inclusions work, I can't work out why. Is it my fault for putting "Suggestion:Lie Down" as a link on his talk page? [[Talk:Suggestions|']][[User:Armareum|arm]][[User_talk:Armareum|.]] 00:44, 8 July 2007 (BST)
| |
| :You put a link to the current suggestions page in, but being a category page, it includes the page instead of creating a link unless you put a : before Category. Example <nowiki>[[:Category:Current_Suggestions#Making_a_Suggestion|here]]</nowiki> -- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User_talk:boxy|T]] [[Location Nuts|Nuts2U]] [[Dead Animals/Redux|DA]]</sup> 00:48, 8 July 2007 (BST)

| === Help with images ===
| |
| Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to control the height of images, so far I only know how to control the width (by adding --px as part of the image link) but can't find any reference to controlling the height. And it would be nice to be able to do so, for editing the recruitment page as sometimes the images are too large. Thanks in advance. - [[User:Whitehouse|Whitehouse]] 19:02, 1 July 2007 (BST)
| |
| :I believe it's possible to set the maximum height by putting in 10px x 10px instead of 10px. The image should keep it's ratio of width to height, but be limited to either the max width or height (whichever hits the limit first) you specify. Example below -- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User_talk:boxy|T]] [[Location Nuts|Nuts2U]] [[Dead Animals/Redux|DA]]</sup> 09:06, 2 July 2007 (BST)

| ===Renaming Sub-Group Wikipages===
| |
| I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but I cannot appear to rename a sub-group wikipage within the Category tag. For example, say I have the page [[Dead vs Blue/Members]]. Now say I wanted to put a category tag in their to group it with the other [[Dead vs Blue]] sub-pages (i.e. <nowiki>[[Category:Dead vs Blue]]</nowiki>). Now in that category page it will appear as '''Dead vs Blue/Members''', even if on the wikipage I placed the tag as: <nowiki>[[Category:Dead vs Blue|Members]]</nowiki>. This is in contrast to how users can apparently edit how a location wikipage is categorized, namely by remove "The" from its title in order to properly alphabeticize it in the list. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] April 10 2007, 8:51 AM
| |
| :I'm not sure I know what you mean there. I tried it out on the members page, and by adding <nowiki>[[Category:Dead vs Blue|Members, Dead vs Blue]]</nowiki> it separated that page out into the M's part of the category, although it didn't "rename" the page there (but I don't think it ever did that, even for locations pages).
