Welcome to Linkthewindow's talk page!

The Rules: Please use proper spelling and grammar when editing. I know a lot of you can't spell, but please no chatspeak, lolspeak, or leetspeak. Of course, being my page, I reserve the right to delete a comment, but I hope never to do that. I will only delete spam. Also remember to sign your posts-it saves a lot of time.
To Post: Ether click here or click the big + at the top of the page. Keeps it nice and ordered. Or, just post all new stuff at the bottom. If you post something in the wrong spot, then it will be moved without the post being modified.
Misc: Archives are here. I'll usually respond here, but if it's urgent I'll respond on your talk page as well. If you followed a redirect from another one of my pages, please state that page before commenting.

Sorry

Sorry for all the trouble I have caused yew in the past.....;--Jerrel Yokotory 21:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry. It doesn't appear that you are a bad person, just stop doing it and you'll be fine. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey

You wanna vote on ALiM awards?--xoxo 02:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks but no thanks. I don't know enough about amusing locations just yet. Maybe next year. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Heh, kk.--xoxo 05:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
And I'm supposed to be on holiday too :P. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
In Soviet Russia vacation is on you!
As I apparently still stalk these lands known as your talk page, it had to be said. 06:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Lol. You learn a damn lot from stalking Recent Changes :P. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:46, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Why not shamble over to St F.'s? Its going to be a fun christmas.--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe I will :). I've got a death cultist/Pker who could help out. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I see you've arrived. If you want to make an account on our [[1]] I can give you access to some of the private topics - the lists of the main local survivor groups might interest a PKer. :) Cheers, Billy Forks 12:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, that would be right :). I need moar ammo first :P. Anyway, I've applied but I need to confirm it via email, and my account isn't working atm (although it hopefully will by morning.) Linkthewindow  Talk  12:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've set access and PMed your forum account. :) Billy Forks 18:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Get your copy and pasted messages off my talk page! Thank you for your consideration. Radio-ratio 04:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

A brief response:
  1. Lots of newer users come here having no idea about how a wiki works, especially the Urban Dead Wiki. Project Welcome (PW,) tries to rectify that by adding welcome templates to newcomer's pages.
  2. As an extension to the above, newer users have made petty mistakes in the past, upsetting the wider wiki community. If you know everything about how a wiki works, that's fine, we don't expect that of all newer users (and, hell, I don't even know the obscure areas of wiki policy yet, and I've been around for half a year.)
  3. I've been thanked about this previously, and got the impression it was working, and helped newer users. In fact, you are the first person to complain.
  4. Finally, act in good faith. It would have just been a lot faster to delete the message and forget about it.

And finally, if you want to remove the template, just remove {{Welcomenewbie}} from your page. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

lerl, he didn't know how to delete it coz he didn't read it, duh!--xoxo 05:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I figured, just being welcoming... Linkthewindow  Talk  05:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Glad to be of help :) I'll check some more today. --Janus talk 13:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

That's all we really have to do for now :). We need to check 'em all of in about a week (29 Dec.) Linkthewindow  Talk  22:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay :) --Janus talk 14:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah

I'm not really going inactive, I'm just going to be a lot less active for a while. I'll probably be more active in a few months, after the current set of real life issues goes away and leaves me some free time. --Pestolence(talk) 13:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

That's cool. Just would have been a shame to lose you :(. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Categories

Can't believe I missed that, When linking to categories you need to lead with a : it tells the wiki to look in the main namespace and thus treat them as a link rather than a category tag, much like with inclusion of non-template pages.--Karekmaps?! 01:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Gah. I've had trouble with that previously. Thanks :). Linkthewindow  Talk  03:09, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
