Oh why can't this wiki have a Template:Clear like Guildwiki? /sigh.. --Shadowcrest 04:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Many wiki(a)s have them located at T:Clr, T:Clrl, and T:Clrr. :) --Sky (t · c · w) 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Win! I've only used GuildWiki and other Guild Wars wikis, didn't know that. Thanks! --Shadowcrest 20:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Fighter Pages
First of all, thanks for helping out with cleaning up the character pages. Secondly, just so your not editing something that is going to go away soon, take a look at SmashWiki:Post-Merge Cleanup to see the format that all the fighter pages are going to be put in once I/we get enough time to do them all. Falco (SSBB) and Meta Knight (SSBB) are already in this format. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 14:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I had noticed the format on different characters was off. I'll work on it when I get the chance (eg now). --Shadowcrest 02:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Or not, I apparently share an IP with GalaxiaD and have been banned until tomorrow. Unless Randall checks his email between now and then. Remind me to rant on the admin noticeboard (wherever it is) about not using the auto-block feature. --Shadowcrest  03:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we have to use the auto-block feature because many of the vandals have a range of computers or a slightly variable IP. Hitting with auto-blocks keeps them from just logging out after they are banned.  It's much easier than calculating a binary range block code, and most of the admins wouldn't even know what to do.  Plus, that can go wrong and lock out whole continents.  Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I have a perfectly reasonable and rational explanation in my head, but it doesn't look good on paper :<
 * On an unrelated note, who are the prominent members here? There are a couple sysops that I can think of, but other than that I don't know anyone but Entrea, GalaxiaD and Oxico (and they have both left, or so I hear). --Shadowcrest 21:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Randall00 and I are the most active sysops on here. I take care of a lot of the day to day work and gameplay information and Randall does a lot of the back end work, although we really do whatever is needed at any point in time.  Sky2042 is another sysop, and he's probably the most knowledgeable about templates and MediaWiki type stuff.  Also, Silverdragon706 is a sysop, but she hasn't been around as much lately.  The active non-sysops that I often work with are Gargomon251 and Wolf O'Donnell, as well as my crewmate Ax.  Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 21:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

re-write of Zelda (SSBB) article

 * 2) changes from melee->brawl
 * 3) debut
 * 4) audio
 * 5) rename of tilts

auto-block
go rant. --Shadowcrest 04:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And prepare for a policy invasion. Must set up for that too. --Shadowcrest  04:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Let me have a look at fixing the block. --Sky (t · c · w) 16:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed. --Sky (t · c · w) 16:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Still blocked. #818, if you need it. --Shadowcrest  16:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * To clarify, only my IP is banned. My account is fine. Since Galaxia and I share(d) an IP, autoblock banned my IP for a day, and I am thus unable to contribute outisde my talk page. --Shadowcrest  17:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that stinks. (By the way, Hi!) I must be missing something here, what with mostly being outside the community here, but... what exactly got Galaxia (and, by extension, you) banned at all? –Entrea Sumatae 17:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Entrea! How'd you find me here? You weren't even on IRC when I brought SSBwikia up.
 * I'm not quite sure, really. I think it involved him being a prick to someone who was an admin and they blocked him for it. Oh, and it might have also involved impersonating a user (who I think was an admin, and the same admin at that). Except for the impersonation, would you agree that would not have happened on guildwiki?  --Shadowcrest  17:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I found you here because I RC patrol here too. I usually just correct facts and such, mostly ignoring talkpages and such except for rumors or stuff that are up for deletion. As for what happened, I still have no idea what event sparked it, but I'm sure as hell that a 3-month ban for a first block wouldn't last more than a couple hours on GuildWiki before someone overruled it. –Entrea Sumatae 17:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's odd that on GWiki I don't do a lot of mainspace overhauls and crusades, but here I am planning on cleaning up a bunch of stuff. Did you know this place merged with Wikia like we did? And they all hate monaco? If I could figure out how to change the logo, I'd give them the "monobookization" customization Pan/Jedi/May did.
 * Unless it was Raptors (raa!) a 3 month ban would never have passed, I agree. I also saw a threat to ban anyone who disagreed with the blocking of Galaxia- am I correct in saying that that would have resulting in possibly a consequence as severe as desysoption on Guildwiki?
 * Do you think it would be a good idea to import a bunch of our commonly referred to policies? NPA, 1RV, maybe YAV, AGF, AUNC (users not content)? And the admin noticeboard. --Shadowcrest  18:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it would be a cause for desysoption (unless they actually carried out the threat): everyone overreacts sometimes.
 * And I did know about the Wikia merge (except they actually did merge, Wikia didn't have a Guild Wars wiki when we were absorbed). And if they don't like Monoco, showing them how to monobookize would be great. And yes, every wiki should have the exact same policies and stuff as ours, but it's probably unneeded to do a major overhaul. –Entrea Sumatae 18:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, stupid line. –Entrea Sumatae 18:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Since I can't post anywhere other than my talkpage, I have to do everything here until I'm unblocked. Including importing policies, test revision of the Zelda (SSBB) article, and any other main/wikispace action I would have taken until then. I'm separating the talk from the policy with (you guessed it) a line. I hate licensing. A lot. Why couldn't guildwiki be GFDL?!? :( --Shadowcrest  18:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there must be some way to have our customizations without our logo (Smashwiki with Guildwiki logo in the corner lol), so I'm going to find it. –Entrea Sumatae 18:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The simplest way would be to ask Pan, but he hasn't been seen in quite some time. --Shadowcrest 18:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Easy. Copy to it's SmashWiki counterpart (Or your monaco.css). Monobook background looks a little wierd with Beach, but that can be changed. –Entrea Sumatae 18:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Way to edit conflict me. That's basically what I was going to say. We'd have to persuade smashwiki to set the same code but with their logo as their default to import it. I think. --Shadowcrest  18:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The code there will use SmashWiki's own code. On my own .css, I fixed the colors too. It has the right colors and logo, so anyone who likes the monobooco skin can just copy (or import) that. By the way, monobooco is now the official name for the Monoco/Monobook hybrid. –Entrea Sumatae 18:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * According to who? Lol
 * I'd test importing your page, but I probably can't edit my own monaco.css. Anti-lol. --Shadowcrest  18:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

You should be unblocked now. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. --Shadowcrest 20:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I am auto blocked, once again. #857. --Shadowcrest  02:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Posting so I can add an edit summary to make this request more visible. --Shadowcrest  02:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol. SmashWiki hates you. –Entrea Sumatae 02:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Signature Font
If you don't mind me asking, which font do you use for your signature? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 07:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC))
 * Just edit the page and look at his coding. (FYI, it's "Vivaldi") –Entrea Sumatae 15:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's vivaldi. Back on GuildWiki, I started using this font, and then like 8 other people started to use it :P
 * You're welcome to use it as well. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  19:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind me doing so as well, I want to stand out! Plus it looks neat. Oh, and your new policy ideas are brilliant, and I can't wait for them to be instated on the wiki. <font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Cheezperson

In seriousness, if x=y, then x-y=0; therefore, anything over x-y is a division by zero and cannot be calculated. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 21:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. And since only Chuck Norris can divide by 0, that's where Entrea's comment came from. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  21:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And if you compare revisons, you will see my last post contained an explanation that Shadowcrest then removed. –Entrea Sumatae 21:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I wanted to let other people guess, but I could just hide his whole comment :P --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  22:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Two things about the poll
First of all, last week I removed the same poll that you put up today. If you didn't read my reasoning, it was that polls about the "worst" thing tend to be either a troll in and of themselves or an invitation to other users to troll. This is why GameFAQs doesn't allow top ten lists about the "worst" or "most overrated" games.

The bigger problem I have, however, is you contacting a blocked user and putting up content for him/her. Users get blocked for a reason; Cafinator's has been discussed extensively. I don't know a specific policy to point to, but I would extrapolate the no sockpuppets rule to include getting another user to do things for you. You are obviously an intelligent and devoted editor, and I'm sure you can understand the reasoning behind my thoughts here. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't read your reasoning for removing it because I didn't know where to find it. (I just now checked the history.) Tbh I didn't even know you removed it a first time. So, apologies for that, and I can try to come up with a better poll in a little while.
 * I read your post on Talk:Main Page after I had posted the poll, and I couldn't just revert (the numbers had already been reset, would have looked stupid, etc. etc.) I do understand your reasoning, though I have some reservations about specific instances. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 17:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Edit: I see you've already changed the poll, so that's good. And I must also assume the extensive discussion about Cafinator's ban has happened privately elsewhere, because as far as I know the only discussion that has occured was between Cafinator and Randall, though of course I could merely be unaware. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  17:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of the discussion happend priviately between Randall and Cafinator, although there is some on his talk page where I added my two cents about why he is and should be blocked. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 22:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

BNK talk
Now what do you possibly have to gain from starting a debate on a subject you weren't even a part of? That conversation ended when BNK was banned, and we're keeping it that way. If you have anything to say, go ahead, but don't expect me, BNK, or anyone originally in the conversation to hear it.  Mario Galaxy  { talk } 19:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What do I personally have to gain? Nothing. What could other people gain from it? The fact that your reasoning sucked and you should stop criticizing KirbyKing for nothing. (That 'you' is collective.)
 * At the risk of sounding cliched (but I've always wanted to use this phrase), you and what army? "..on a subject you weren't even a part of? That conversation ended when BNK was banned, and we're keeping it that way." It's a wiki, in case you've forgotten; you're not going to stop me just by telling me that you declared it over. If you don't wish me to comment on your failures, take them somewhere I won't see them (eg. off wiki). If you guys refuse to listen to solid logic and wish to retain your erronous thoughts, I can't stop you. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 19:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Your Sig
...Has no link to your talk page. And if you are against link hovering for unknown or abbreviated signatures, then you should really be against not having a link to your talk page.<font face="Impact" color="5F9EA0"> Smore  Talk  15:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Incorrect; you misunderstood my opposition, and I don't quite follow your logic. I am opposed to unidentifyable signatures. Having a link to my talk page doesn't make it more easily identifyable than just a link to my userpage, it just makes for less code. What does link hovering have to do with a talkpage link? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 22:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, I know I'm not in this conversation, just one question. Link hovering is when you hold your cursor over the sig, right? Well, I get your point.  Mario Galaxy  { talk } 22:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to participate in any conversation held on wiki imo, that's why it's a wiki :P
 * Yes, that's what link-hovering is. Whose point do you get? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  22:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Your point. You're talking about sigs that don't identify the user (RJM, FyreNWater, etc.), while SmoreKing thought you meant sigs that don't have links to a user's talk page or contribs.  Mario Galaxy  { talk } 22:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm very sorry for what I said to you. You may edit the page but please leave it how it is. It's easier for my to count the votes (even though a poll is EASIER) and I can get a little opinion on why they wanna vote.
