That was actually supposed to be the joke. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:45, 8 September 2012 (BST) I figured. This place has gotten really undramatic lately by the looks of things. Somebody throw a coup. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:34, 9 September 2012 (BST) Your observation is dead on. This is a very different wiki to the one we 'grew up' in. I'll say that, the the dead will return, I bet... A ZOMBIE ANT 07:49, 9 September 2012 (BST) Not sure about that, the drama peaked around the whole Grim coup saga and has been steadily decreasing since. I've returned/lurked occasionally since I left, and it's become - and stayed - a lot less dramatic (which is good.) On an unrelated note, love reading my comments from three years ago. Linkthewindow  Talk  08:01, 9 September 2012 (BST) Lul.

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)

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)

Radio

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)

Would you like some help with the radios? I would be delighted to be of assistance --Kaylo991 09:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

That would be great :). We need to get started with checking in about two more days (29 December.) Thanks again (and it's nice to see another Australian on the wiki.) Linkthewindow  Talk  10:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah thanks. Great to be of use-- Kaylo991 ^{T AZS} 11:10, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Should we add it? --Janus ^talk 19:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... I'll think about it. Thanks, Janus. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:20, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No need to reply to this, hop on IRC. #MCM please. _■^■ 02:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

You did the whole lot of the radio frequencies! What about us. I was suposed to help. Anyway Good Job xD. You deserve (i think thats how you spell it) a Medal. -- Kaylo991 ^{T AZS} 12:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you can spell it correctly :). Thanks. I had too much time on my hands (wet afternoon.) Linkthewindow  Talk  12:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps we should note that people need not edit this further. _■^■ 01:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. I might request a protection later, if I think it needs it. Linkthewindow  Talk  01:27, 30 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.--Karek^maps?! 01:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

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

I thought the grahhing in St. F's would have been enough! --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:45, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Recruitment

"07:29, 27 December 2008 Linkthewindow (Talk | contribs) (→SOS Brigade : Pro-Survivor Group - -Removed. Not a template, old timestamp)" What template? Do I really have to make one just for the recruitment?--ScouterTX 14:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's mostly so your advert doesn't interfere with the adverts below it. There is some instructions here and a guide here. If they don't spell it out for you, just post back here. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Active

C4NT, the fabulous underground corner kids and VZW are all still active by the way. Even if not wiki active. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

You tell me now! I'll go back and add them back on the main radio page. I don't think C4NT had a frequency. Linkthewindow  Talk  10:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Recruitment Ad

How do I set up the picture between the first line and last line? I tried adding it in the middle but it didn't work.--PFC 20:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying. Could you please clarify? Linkthewindow  Talk  22:01, 29 December 2008

Nevermind. I've got my three members. Thanks for you time.--PFC 22:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Recruitment page

What do you think of these edits? _■^■ 22:36, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Meh is my response :P. I can't see any harm in it, but it you don't like it, then go ahead and revert. Ether way, I don't really think anyone minds. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Anti Zombie Squad

Just wanted to say that the leader of this group (Dra13) said something about it. Would he be able to 'rebuild' the group even with the 'Group Inactive' Template? Just wondering. --Janus ^talk 22:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely. It's not a scheduled protection, and removing the advert is easy. Are they active though? Linkthewindow  Talk  22:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, good :) They aren't active at the moment, but Dra13 said he (they) could start playing again. Thanks! --Janus ^talk 22:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

TSR

Wanna join The Status Reporters and help us give every TRP a status report? --Haliman - Talk 05:48, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, someone had to do this. I'll drop by your talk page with a few ideas, and I'll sign up in a few days (I've got stuff to do first, both in real life, and on the wiki.) Linkthewindow  Talk  06:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Inactivity project

We've always had groups who don't update their pages, despite remaining active in game, but still keep an occasional eye on the page, none the less. Some of them may not appreciate having the template wacked on their page. Just a heads up -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:50 30 December 2008 (BST)

I've added a note on the category page about how to remove the template. At the moment I'm sticking to groups that haven't updated for over six months, and are not on the stat page, as well as nothing on the discussion page. Although some groups might lurk on the wiki, six months is a long time. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Arbitration

Go put it back. You'll notice KOTD hasn't made an edit since the last arbitrator volunteered, and given the festive time of year it's unfair to archive it considering. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to be such a pedant

But some of the language you chose for your story on my life is atrocious and horribly biased. It clearly shows that while you (someone who i respect and whom i'm sure most people around the wiki do to) wrote the list as evident by the timestamp, the motivation and the choice of language is heavily nubis/karek influenced. Firstly, the "sysop team" didn't say WTF? Boxy, nubis and karek did. I didn't, gnome didn't, cheese didn't, hag didn't, conn didn't and the whole assorted list of inactives didn't. Secondly "abuse of the checkuser logs" is wrong for 2 reasons, one i didn't abuse the "logs" the logs are just a list of previous action on the checkuser function and 2, while i did abuse the function the description and link, to an eye unfamiliar with the particulars of the wiki make it seem like the abuse was extensive. A more accurate description would be "looked up User:Boxy's IP address, against wiki protocol" or something. Also, remove a/vb thingo over cyberbob impersonation, i had nothing to do with that whatesoever, again it's running on nubis etc suspicion. OK thats pretty much it, kudos if you could fix that up. Thanks.--xoxo 22:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm getting very confused over this. Sorry :(. I've changed some of the language around. Making a list like this is a hell of a lot harder then it looks-now someone will complain about it having bias. Anyway, if you've got more concerns, just leave em here. Linkthewindow  Talk  01:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Your suggestion for an archive really helped, thanks for teaching me something new Me101 01:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks! Linkthewindow  Talk  01:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

You can haz cookie too.

	A FREE COOKIE

Thanks for the cookie. _■^■ 05:51, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

That was disturbingly quick :P. Thanks. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

	A FREE COOKIE
	Janus Abernathy has given Linkthewindow a cookie for giving her her first cookie for doing some checking with the massacre

Yay! --Janus ^talk 13:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Moar cookie :). Linkthewindow  Talk  13:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thanks for reverting the vandalism. --LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 15:19, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

HALP!

The vandalism is really pissing me off now. Thad says it isn't his men. O rly? Thadeous admitting he sent AT LEAST one vandal to come and mess with my page. Can I get him at A/VB with this? --Haliman - Talk 17:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

How sad. I meant that I would stop them from vandalizing your page, nothing more. I certainly did not send anyone. I acknowledge that Skouth and Rohanzap were vandalizing but on their own movement. Good luck with putting me up at A/VB. You will need all the luck in the world.--Thadeous Oakley 18:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I second Thad. I moved under my own devices with no prior talk or orders about vandalism. I worked independantly at the time and i regret it as it has thrown Thad into the proverbial hot water rather than myself. So for all intents and purposes strike the charge of ordering people to vandalise your pages from Thad. I myself have already been punished by the admins so i suggest you let sleeping dogs lie. Yours sincerely Rohanzap

Please, do this elsewhere, as nothing here pertains to Linkthewindow. No, report the specific account responsible for the vandalism. _■^■ 18:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Although there has been a recent case to do with ordering people to do vandalism in real life, it's a tad different, and the result of much moar wiki drama. Linkthewindow  Talk  01:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank's for the tip, also i kind of accidentally screwed South Blythille's danger report. Can you please change it to Dangerous for me, thanks. --Montana8 12:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Done. Your archive however, should be located in the user subspace. I've requested a move for you, but please remember that in future. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

3 things

first of all, your page looks awfully awful... things just overlap eachother and i have no idea what your inactivity metter tells. And second... unlike the guy who is currently running for prom, you are one of those whom i would gladly vouch for the position. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 01:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Third thing: your instructions fail. I pressed the + button and it broke your layout --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 01:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Are you using IE, Hagnat? (get firefox, it's so much better.) And yeah, I second what Haggy said about promotions. I'd vouch for you any day. --Pestolence^(talk) 01:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I am a firefox user since it was called phoenix, pestolence... --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 01:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah, that explains a lot. I use a 1680*1050 moniter at home, which means it looks just fine. I'll look into it (I'm using a tiny laptop screen now-it's a resolution probelm.) Anyway, I'll look into that, just as I've conqured the lofty hights of complicated wiki coding. (and, yes, firefox rocks :).) The instructions fail because it's a table, and I imagine the plus button just puts it at the bottom of the page. I'll try to get my user page sorted tonight. Thanks for that. Linkthewindow  Talk  03:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Coding should look better now. Linkthewindow  Talk  03:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping sort out the protections archive. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 02:09, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I've been meaning to do that for a while. Thanks for getting it started. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Stealthy links

1, while not as quite as convincing works too. _■^■ 06:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the same color that they use for the wikipedia links. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Stealth links can be colour changed the same as any other link. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:31, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Flowers of Disease is Expelled? _■^■ 04:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The "New" Archive System

For A/PT, will last all of as soon as I have time to upgrade it. Monthly sucks in this case, it sucks hard. It'll probably end up being like the Arbitration Archives if Hagnat insists on there being a change at all.--Karek^maps?! 04:25, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay. So it's just a stopgap between the old system and your new one? Just leave a message here if you need help getting it sorted. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

More like it was something he was doing, agreed it would create tons of useless or ridiculously small pages, and then chose to ignore the fact that he was advised against it because the current system worked better. Then again I might just be annoyed that now I have to make something workable from this mess.--Karek^maps?! 04:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Nemesis 645

We're convinced this is the Umbrella impersonator. He recently joined our forums less than a week ago and we see strong evidence that this is indeed the character that has been performing all these slanders and vandalizing the wiki. We at Umbrella Corporation ask that this member be put into heavy investigation before he vandalizes again, this time the Umbrella wiki page. We are soon to ban him for his involvement and would appreciate any protection possible for our wiki pages. -Jackson

Hmm... If you are really concerned about your pages, then request a protection, but unfortunately, a vandal case on grounds like that probably wouldn't get through (my opinion, and I'm not a sysop.) Ether way, I'll revert anything I see via Recent Changes and inform A/VB. Linkthewindow  Talk  09:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Impersonation

At the near to the bottom of the section located here, obifirefighter has changed his name as an insult to mine. I proceded by changing what he put as "Leroy Stupids" after a message implying that it was myself doing the typing, back to obi. He then changed it back to "Leroy Stupids." Would this be considered impersonation on his account? --Leroy jankens 18:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Firstly, please use a permalink next time. Makes it a bit easier to track it. Anyway, it's a borerline case, but people have been warned over it previously. In future, you can use vandal banning (A/VB) for a quicker response (I'm not a sysop ;).) Linkthewindow  Talk  21:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
