Be on it. Nothing to be done! 23:01, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

For the warm welcome. I hope to be a reliable contributor to the success and accuracy of the wiki and its associated database. I have no current questions, I am quite familiar with the wiki format. However if any do arise you will be the first person I turn to. Thanks again, and don't be afraid just to say hello every now and again, friends, even those on a wiki are an invaluable asset. ;D

Thank you for helping me out with my group page. It really shows you are a good contributing community member, huh? --Sixclaw 05:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Where are you?

I need to kill you tonight so that I can increase my advantage in the Duck hunt.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 10:20, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Like you, I got tired of trying to hunt ducks in zed form. Been waiting 5 or 6 days for a revive. Btw your talk page doesn't work on NOOKColor browser.~Vsig.png 18:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Nook is a lying sack of shit. 18GB total my ass! I swapped mine in for an iPad 'cause the 18GB total was a lie! --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 19:13, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Go to the Dinovan Monument. Fast revives. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Ooh, you like the iPad? Despite being an Apple fanboy, I haven't actually picked one up yet. Every time I see one of my friends using one, I see all these cool things that I could easily see myself doing, but at the same time, I just don't quite see it fitting in and filling a need that I have. It just seems like it does some things differently and better, rather than doing anything new, so I probably couldn't use it to replace my laptop, my desktop, or my phone, which keeps me from pulling the trigger on a purchase. That said, I'd love to be convinced to get one. ;) Aichon 19:48, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Yeah 18GB was a total lie. 40GB is more accurate. MicroSd is dirt cheap and nColor takes up to 32GB. But if open source OS and root capabilities aren't your thing, the double-the-cost iPad is probably the way to go although I would probably pick up a galaxy tab or one of the other 30 Android tabs revealed this summer at E3. Ross I did finally nab a revive and will be hunting Yon now. ~Vsig.png 19:58, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

User:Rosslessness/Hmm

See? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:55, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Yip. Useful for comparisons of writing styles, uniforms, log in times, activity throughout a year, etc, etc. Both the talk page, and the resultant Arbies case are pure gold. I'd recommend you read both. Plus as a counterpoint Chev's sussesful removal from the Zerg list. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Promotion

Ross and I have cycled your bid as successful. Good work, and be sure to check out the new buttons and their uses/responsibilities here if you need. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 05:20, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

ah, another of Ross' stream of conciseness articles. Very nice. I have read and digested it as much as I can right at the moment. I'll probably have lots of questions and I'd like to get with as many of the team as I can and get your input on where I can help most. ~Vsig.png 06:01, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations

COngratulations on your bid. I was about to post the secret diary here, but I see DDR has already. If you have any more questions about being a sysop, feel free to ask me (or any member of the team for that matter). :) --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 07:52, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Help:The NOT so secret diary of a sysop, may help. Also read the stuff Aichon wrote up. V. Illuminating. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Congrats! Also, ignore the red exclamation marks that you're likely noticing now. No one around here actually uses them, so they're basically worthless. And Ross was talking about my So you want to be a sysop? article. It may have some places to point you that you can help out with, but probably nothing you're unaware of. Aichon 10:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Odd. My garden gnome (also named vapor) seems to have been promoted to sysop same time as you. What a coincidence! (lulz. Seriously, congrats!)--†hana†ologis† (talk) 13:05, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome aboard, man. You'll be ship-shape in no time I'd imagine. Nothing to be done! 18:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Bravo. You've made it to the ranks of "Psycho". xD --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 18:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Your First Job

Congrats Vapor! Now can you work your sysopsy super-happy-fun magic stuff to fix my FA error? It looks fine in the FA page, but it looks broken in the main page. In my mind, having to manually cycle these makes little sense when the wiki can do it for us.-MHSstaff 19:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

The easiest way to do it would be to just set up each FA blurb on its own page (e.g. FA1, FA2, FA2, etc., like you did with FA1) and then use the CURRENTWEEK magic word to change the last digit (e.g. {{path/to/article/FA{{CURRENTWEEK}}}}.
The better solution would be to have it actually call a template inside a template, like so {{{{templatename|current|{{CURRENTWEEK}}}}}}. The inner template's code should consist of a set of switch statements that will give you back a path to the current/past featured article based on the current week and whether you say "current" or "past" for the first variable. That link will then get filled in for the outer template, which will result in the page at that link being inserted.
The problem with both of these solutions is that they only support 54 FAs at the most (i.e. max number of weeks in the year), are difficult to edit (though not particularly difficult as code goes), and still don't properly archive the older entries in any sort of meaningful way, though we could simply change the archiving procedure to fix that last issue. Aichon 22:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Vapor, if you swing by Aichon's talk page, I sorta outlined my current thoughts for doing this. Hopefully it makes some sense. -MHSstaff 19:32, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
