User:NOBODY/Talk Page Archive 8

Hopefully, you're aware that
JS doesn't work properly in tabview. Tabber, I'm not sure about. You could just remove all the spoiler templates, maybe, if you want to use tabview. 18:30, January 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about tabber, because I never tried to insert anything other than text between tabber tags. You could try it, though tabber doesn't accept level 2 and 3 headings. Alternatively, you could place links to each subpage rather than tabs instead of removing the collapsible templates. Or maybe put each list on the game's talk page; I've seen this done on some pages on Wikipedia before. I like the idea, because it keeps long lists of "what needs to get done" off the mainspace page but still on tabs for users interested in improving the page. 05:55, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki Code
Hello Nobody! I noticed a while ago that you had made some changes to the MediaWiki code for a lot of things. Well, today I was adding pictures to the galleries for the Nitrome Touchy and Aquanaut articles. I created a gallery using the gallery button (usually I use gallery tags, but it's easier to use the button when you're adding lots of pictures).

Anyway, I clicked "Add a photo", then saw that the "Upload" button was all messed up, with br, b, and font tags. Then, when I tried to click on the button, it wouldn't work either! I wondered why this was, then remembered your MediaWiki edits, and realized that they were the reason.

I think adding all that text to the button caused it to glitch. Plus, not all of the text you added to the upload title showed up- some of it was cut off. And the text isn't red either, even though it appears red on the MediaWiki page. This is also the case with adding a slideshow and slider. Does this happen to you too when you add a gallery? --  23:13, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Chat
I got off the computer a while ago, but the window is still open (as you see I haven't edited since an hour or so ago). I haven't been on the chat that whole time, just at the beginning for about 5 minutes. But the general answer is that I want to edit, but I get so little computer time (only the weekends) that I spend it doing stuff for leisure. My weekdays are hectic and tense, so I try to relax on my already packed weekends. Over Christmas break I had planned to edit a TON (and finish my Canary written walkthroughs I had started a while back and didn't finish), but I was visiting my relatives and not able to use the computer to edit well (I was using my family's iPad to stay in touch with the wiki then, which makes it a tough job to write comments, let alone make useful edits) so when I got back I was disappointed. Considering Ayernam has been here for a couple months and already has surpassed me in editing, I sort of feel like I can't make much of a difference anymore. 01:56, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

When to write out numbers
In Revise 3, you say, "All Arabic numerals under ten (10) should be written out in English as full words. That means that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should all be changed to zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. This is a rule of grammar and is the proper way to write in English when using numbers." An adjustment is necessary. Actually, all numbers 3 syllables or less should be written out. Hence, 2 is two, 1,000 is one thousand, but 176 is still 176. Just a minor adjustment I thought you should know. 22:09, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Handy admin tool
Hi NOBODY (again). I am currently using a tool called Botonera popups for the wiki, and it's great. It enables you to view links to the main, talk, and history of a page, just by holding control and moving your mouse over a link on the wiki. I thought I should tell you (and anybody that reads this) about it, if you don't already know. To implement it, go to http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:NOBODY/global.js and create the page, then paste:

into your page. Then publish it and it should take a few minutes to work, although it will work soon. View http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:NTPYTO/global.js if you want to see what I have on my global. 23:09, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I use it too. It is so easy to use and helps you make lots of small edits really fast. 23:21, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Other tools
I noticed you added the botonera popups, and I thought I might show you everything I know and use. You can replace the text within your global.js with this:

And now I will tell you what they do:

The stuff that says Purge, shows a purge option when you press the down arrow next to edit.

Reveal AnonIP shows the ip address instead of Anonymous on talk pages and blog post comments

Back to Top button shows a button on the bottom right which enables you to scroll quickly back to the top of a long page.

And I hope you know what Botonera popups does.

Level 7 video
If you try to watch it, it says, "Embedding disabled by request," and you can't watch it. 15:29, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Message
Hi Optimal848 here (sorry, I don't know where your main talk page is) and some some stuff:

-Can you (or myself) create a userbox (with a Rex209 picture) saying: This user has a Rex209 pet and he is never afraid to take action! (parodying Santi's Mechasaurus)

- an apology about misunderstanding the rules (Aspergers Syndrome). I have learned and it won't happen again.

-Is it OK if my avatar is one of the Test Subject Concepts?

Questions
Hi, Optimal848 again. A few more questions: (probably all that need asking)

-Could you send me a code for a signature (I am terrible at coding)

-Does your avatar have to be a character from Nitrome (because a lot of people at the top of the list have them)

-Remember, you are probably the most determined Admin I have ever noticed on Wikia. :)

Revise 3
Since Emitewiki2 is temporarily inactive, may I edit his section for Revise 3? --  22:37, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Wikia Spotlight
Some time ago, I suggested getting the wiki ready for a wikia spotlight request. At the time, we really weren't quite eligible. However, I really think that Nitrome Wiki is almost ready. I think we should finish Revise 3, fix up the main page, do a double-check, and then have a forum discussion for the best way of writing the request that makes the wiki look good. Then, have you or Santi post it. Here are the full list of suggested requirements, which you posted on my talk a long time ago:

The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. --- If you or Santi (as b-crats) post it, then not a problem.

The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki. --- Not a problem. Most of our short pages are disambigs anyway (which don't really count). Although we should probably decrease our stubs some. But that shouldn't take long.

The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism. --- Not a problem. We should do a double-check on it anyway.

The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).---I checked Special:UncategorizedPages. It's empty but for 2 pages, neither of which are mainspace.

The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. --- Not a problem.

The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) ---As far as I know, we do this, and have for some time.

The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) --- We do.

The wiki should have a customized skin. ---Not a problem.

The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. ---Again, not a problem.

Please consider this message. 22:15, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Rule Problem
When a user creates an account, they just get led to the main page. They don't see anything like rules and they start to do whatever they want. I know that the rules are somewhere here, but would you expect a person to go to the rules just like that? People nowadays are lazy to read stuff, (Which I call people of idiocracy ) Perhaps we copuld adjust some things a bit like make the rules the redirecting page when teh account is made. But that would discourage them from helping us... Hmm... Perhaps we should put some cute stuff on it to give a friendly effect?

--00:32, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding:Your solution to Rule Breaking
Ok, I saw what you did there. It's ok. Only that it doesnt show up when you're logged in. (Or at least, just to me.)

RE:Roly Poly
Well, all of my personal friends who play Nitrome have all agreed that Roly Poly is insanely hard, and I agree. If you really think it's that easy, you can remove it I guess, but I can't beat level 3 of easy. :( 03:17, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I just find it extremely difficult. But some games are easier to some than others, and vice versa. For example, I replayed Rainbogeddon the other day, and found it extremely easy, and only had to restart a level a few times. I even beat the second to last level (by far the hardest) on my first try. 03:58, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Nitrome Wiki accounts
Hello NOBODY! I'm so happy IceBreaker and Roar Rampage iOS are coming really soon! Well, that's not what I wanted to say. After thinking about it a lot and lots of times, I think I'll create a Nitrome Wiki account on Facebook, and also manage the Twitter account, if RSK wants to. What do you think? Bye! 13:50, January 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds good! First at all I'll create the page, and then I'll think about the posts. Goodbye! 16:27, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Done!
The page has been created! It's here (I don't know why it has a long url). Along with creating it, I also customized it a bit and started posting. Also, did you know that Wikia tweeted about the @NitromeWiki a few weeks ago? See it here! 19:56, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Botonera
Hi, I forgot to ask you this: do you like the botonera popups and other stuff? I saw you added it. 22:58, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

People talking about it
It means the number of people who did somthing related to the page in the last 7 days. In this case, it appears because two people liked the page in the last 7 days. 17:44, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Sequel
What Nitrome game needs a sequel? Pufflesrcute (talk) 11:30, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Plunger level 24 video
Yeah, I see what you mean. It has to do with the thumbnail selected for my video. I went back to the video after I got your message and changed the thumbnail, but I don't know if it will change here too. But what you said also made me think, "What if the reader doesn't want to see the ending, but they just want to see how to complete level 24?". Both of our videos have the last level and the ending, right? What if I uploaded a video of just level 24 to the article? Would that be alright? And great job creating all of those walkthroughs so quickly!

P.S. Right when I saw your edit on your notebook, you reminded me that I had created Nanobots walkthroughs in the past, but never uploaded them! I didn't make one for level 6, though, so you could upload that. Thanks! --  23:14, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hey NOBODY! I'm sorry for being so absent lately, although I'll try to keep things back on, and I'm very glad you've appreciated what I've done lately! I'm now a bit rusty with wiki stuff, since I've put the JPEG template on a page and forgetting the capitalization on a page, but I'll try my best to get on the grip again. I've even forgotten I made the ladders page lol 21:09, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry
I worked on it for a bit after you added that message, but I forgot to reply. Thanks. I'll work on it some more this weekend. 13:44, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

css
Hi NOBODY. I was wondering, what does your wikia.css code do? 21:26, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure. User:NOBODY/wikia.css

21:30, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, I tried it out, and know what it does. Btw, you can more easily create a page called User:NOBODY/wikia.js and enter the code below to do the same thing, but better, and with more options.

Bear in mind that if you do this you will have to remove the code from your css page or it won't work. 21:39, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I forgot to tell you, but to use, there will be a link on your toolbar that says expand content. You have to click that.

21:43, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Thought I'd let you know
Hi Nobody! Sure, I could take your section. When I saw that all sections were taken, I was going to just go through some pages in early sections, such as section one, and edit them, since the objectives have changed since the project first started. I'd be glad to take on another section, though! --  23:48, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

2L
Sure.

4Play
Hello Nobody, do you still have that Four Play thing I showed you ages ago. If so could you please give it to me?

Also how do I make a signature like everyone elses with the long tube thing? ~||Puff||~

Reference Popups
Hi NOBODY. I found some good code for references which can be viewed here. However it has to be added to MediaWiki:Common.js, so only admins can do it. I think it would be a good addition. 15:09, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

4PLay II
I have th elink, but it is broken, do you still have it on your computer, all I really need is the Startup, so if you could

record it, put it to youtube and i could download it. Pufflesrcute (talk) 05:13, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Transparent images
Sorry about that. I do actually know how to make them, and I made transparent images for a while. However, my new computer doesn't have gimp2 on it (my mom's was the one I used to use, and it did have gimp), so I was planning on downloading it this weekend. I'll add transparency to the images then. Btw, you don't have to have Xnview (or whatever it's called). I use irfanview and gimp2. Anyway, I'll start with transparent images this weekend.

RE: Nitrome Touchy help
Hi Nobody! If your Android can connect to your router's WiFi without any trouble, then there shouldn't be a problem with the router. Sometimes when I am connected with WiFi the app says the server is not available, but when then happens I just turn off the WiFi and turn it on again, and then it usually works. Have you tried that? Besides that, it just worked- I didn't take any other steps to enable it. Try refreshing the WiFi and let me know if that works. --  20:00, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Alliance
Is Nitrome Wiki gonna do this alliance thing? I think we should, and you might as well join all three I guess.

01:44, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

no editing
hi this is ntpyto's sister. he got in trouble so he cant edit for a week so i was gonna edit for him so he owuldn't lose his days on badges or something. so i will edit once a day for a week and thats why ntpyto wont be here till wednesday 21:57, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

yes
he says its almost done though 04:00, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

NT help continued
Did you get Nitrome Touchy to work? Did refreshing the WiFi work? I'm assuming you did get it to work since you added content to the Nitrome Touchy page. -- 22:11, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I'm not sure what the problem may be. When I use Touchy, I simply turn on the WiFi, then open the app. It usually says that both the WiFi and Server are available, although, if not, I refresh the WiFi. Then, I load a game on my computer and then the game shows up on the phone. It's odd, as your phone can connect to your router, and your router can connect to the Nitrome server, but still there is a problem between the phone and the server. Maybe try loading a game on your computer and see if it responds. -- 00:07, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Yet another question:
Hi Optimal848 (talk) 12:23, February 2, 2013 (UTC)Optimal848 here. A Question:

How do you create a signature?

May I suggest something for long articles?
Some articles are so long such as Nitrome Must Die, Final Ninja Zero, Toxic II, and other more games that contain more than 20 levels. Is it possoble to merge the entire levels heading page thing. Into a collapsible template? Perhaps we could use that [http://nitrome.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ayernam/Imagemaps! image map] thing Aye's working on.

--11:34, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding: Long pages
Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

--08:59, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Tips
Yes, I created a youtube account, although I'm only allowed to use it to upload wiki-related videos. Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind. Do you know of any free programs that will let you edit bandicam videos? 02:04, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Why I Joined
It was either Winnermillion or NTPYTO who told me about it, and I hate missing out on opportunities to help, real life or not. I read the rules, and they seem simple. I feel bad that I joined at the last second though. Whatever I can do to help would compensate for my sadness.

I was working with the Wayback Machine and I found the link for Balloon Maker. The game doesn't work for me but

Adminship
Hello NOBODY. Zt's message (although weird) made me think of something. You are the only very active admin left, although Santi and Emite edit occasionally (I feel sad that during my own inactiveness I missed saying bye to RSK :. I think you should open up the RFA page again. Also, I personally think you should make the requirements a little harder to meet. Also, please note that I do not have any intention of applying--I think the choice for the next admin is obvious. Please consider this. Another admin would also help prepare us for wikia spotlight, if we ever get that. 14:55, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

I found something, can i post it?
Hey NOBODY, i stumbled upon something recently.

I was playing Canopy on a computer that had the square the game is in bigger that the game itself. I know that sounds silly, but it is real. So i got to the level with the flowers and noticed something strange. The flower stems were going out of the game are into the rest of the game square and attached to rotating gears, you know, the purple ones. That could mean only one thing. The flowers are NOT able to move by themselves AT ALL, it's the GEARS that move them! The flowers do simply bend easily, that's it.

So... I found this, and can i add this (but obviously written like an article) to the part of the "Branches" article about flowers? I think no one came up with this fact before...

Signed, sincerely and all,

18:06, February 18, 2013 (UTC), really.


 * I am in fact aware of this also. However, it is just a glitch. On some computers, the square for the flash object is larger than Nitrome originally intended, and the edges will be glitchy. However, this is just a graphical glitch and does not affect gameplay at all. If you thought that the flowers had branches or something, it is just a graphics glitch. PS: This glitch has happened to me on several types of laptops, in both Final Ninja games and Nanobots.

19:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, this happens either when your computer's screen resolution is too low or too high, or, more commonly, when you are zoomed in or out in your browser. If you zoom into a Nitrome game, you often get to see the area surrounding it, which is not normally supposed to be seen.  --   19:22, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Logo
Yes, this week specially I had tests about every subject, but also recently I'm starting to get tired of the lack of Nitrome news. It does really look like they're doing everything except Icebreaker. Well, yesterday I was thinking about sending you a message. Since Nitrome didn't release any real game this month, I was thinking about letting you make something like february's logo of the past year. Anyway, since today is friday, I can fastly make a logo with Twin Shot or the upcoming games. But if you want to do it, you can use this template: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u433/Santi-Zapo/Logo20template_zps6c23b715.png 14:26, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Aaron Steed
No, I didn't get a link to the Nitrome game. I thought maybe it was because he didn't see my tweet, but the fact that you didn't get an email too is weird. Yeah, I wouldn't want to bother him either. I guess we should just wait for the game to be released. --  16:47, March 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I never actually thought if it might be a game that they already announced, although you're right, it might be Test Subject Complete. In which case, I really wish I got a link for it!  --   17:13, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Message to st33d
Hi Nobody! I'm sure that if you're polite about it, he won't get angry over a little reminder tweet. The message sounds good. The worst that could happen is him saying no, although I don't know why he would. --  01:44, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the message is fine on its own; there is not much really that you can add to it to make it nicer. I'm sure he won't find it insulting or angering.  --   02:22, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
