User:NOBODY/Talk Page Archive 10

Reminder
Images that are 'unrelated to Nitrome' can be allowed on the wiki. It's personal images that users are not allowed to upload. There is a difference. It depends on where the user posts this image and not necessarily the content of the image. If it's only posted on a talk page, userspace, blog post, etc. etc. then it's not allowed, regardless of whether it's Nitrome related or not. Images that are used on the mainspace and certain templates (usually those for maintenance) can be kept, even if they have no Nitrome attribution. 22:33, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Say what
What are you trying to tell me? I don't remember talking about a censor. 01:00, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * You triggered a censor? Man, I never knew. Besides, I saw you use "assume" in a comment once that got through and when I wrote "assume" my comment got moderated. I thought Nitrome lifted the filter on you or something because of that. I didn't even notice you had a typo.


 * Oh anyways, regarding the hazardous functions question: hazards can be "potentially dangerous". A rather subjective approach, but I see some logic in it. Wind, for example, is only intended to blow the climber off to one direction. The level design makes it so that there are multiple platforms "fixed" in the air above a floor of spikes. If you don't make it to a certain safe spot on time, the wind blows and the climber risks falling off a platform onto the spikes. Bomba's water could be considered a hazard too, I guess, because of the way this concept would work. 04:40, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Other Job Characters
Hey NOBODY, I was wondering if we could make pages for all of the other job characters, since we already have articles for Paint blowers and Electro brains? Pufflesrcute (talk) 09:31, January 7, 2014 (UTC)



Question
Hey NOBODY,I'm just wondering is there an 'Articles in need of Categorising' section on the wiki?Port1967 (talk) 18:53, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Unreleased Game
Do you think that we should make the article for the unreleased game on the classic skin or should we wait and get more information from Nitrome? Also, I think that we should add the template back for a Jelly Beanstalk, since it makes the page look nicer and it was still an idea for a game. Pufflesrcute (talk) 06:21, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Where are you?
Hey NOBODY, thanks for the concern. Yeah, I do have a lot of work, but I also decided to take a break from the wiki for a while. I will probably come back every so often though. --  15:22, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Blog post
I cannot add all that you said to the post. I tried to, but it seemed too much. 20:51, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Backtracking
I can't help but notice that you seem to "backtrack" a lot when writing sentences. Something like "Also, the font for the small letters of the bottom-middle box, these were reused for the font of Nitrome.com 1.5."

You start your sentence mentioning the font of the small letters as the subject, yet the pronoun in the sentence above is inserted right after introducing the subject (ie. "these"). This is redundant and interrupts the flow of the sentence. A pronoun would be necessary if a new sentence was being started as well as some other cases. But definitely not right after the subject is introduced in a simple statement. The solution in this case would be to remove "these" along with "Also" at the beginning of the sentence; using it at the start *often* doesn't transition well with the rest of the paragraph. Simply put, the sentence would read, "The font for the small letters of the bottom middle box were reused for the font of Nitrome.com 1.5."

Here's another: The game's scenery on platforms, this scenery was reused for various Nitrome games. Knock off two words and a punctuation mark and it already reduces the awkwardness by a long shot. Figure out which. Try to make concise sentences - not necessarily short, but certainly not redundant. 09:20, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

I'm also curious as to why you added "Paraphrase please" to this message when you didn't address the topic at all. 09:20, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay then. You still had the WIP on that page at the time, and it can be helpful to lay the source out and work with it within the editor. I was unsure because of all the sic templates in the quotations. You don't need to add those if you're going to remove them later or still have the WIP up.


 * Speaking of overdue topics, do you plan to remove the comment tags around your latest response to Forum:Empty or no text?? 21:34, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

McQuillan
Tom is referred as Thomas in the Icebreaker Viking voyage credits. I think it would be best if we were to use his full name. Pufflesrcute (talk) 00:44, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * It would be ideal to use a name that is more prominently displayed. In this case, he is only referred to as "Thomas" in the Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage credits whereas on Nitrome.com and every blog post I recall mentioning him refers to him as "Tom", so it would be better to keep the page target at Tom McQuillan. The introductory sentence for the page should refer to his full name (Thomas McQuillan, referred to as Tom on Nitrome.com, is an employee of Nitrome....). 02:13, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

How can I change the position of the images I sumbit?
Hi NOBODY. I usually sumbit images, and I love doing it, but I have a problem, I do not know how to change the position of the images I sumbit and I always sumbit them at the right part. What must I do? Superyoshibros20 (talk) 21:30, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding a mystery image
I saw this image



And I asked myself weather this is fan art or not. It looks like it is since, I who has beaten Tiny Castle more than once, I can't really remember eeing this scene in the game. And also, there's a question mark above the fire enemy.

--13:25, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Nobody, like I did with Feed Me, I put in that image some of the enemies of the game and the main player... I choosed one part of the 1 checkpoint (where the first enemy walks) then I added to the top right corner and large block, so I could put a skeleton. Then I took a part of water area in the third checkpoint and put it under the image for to put fish enemies. (if you see the top left corner, there is a wood block). I put a question mark above fire enemy because it is watching the fireballs knight (I draw that so that is a funny part). And also the Sword ghost is trying to break the wall. And also the hand is touching the player so he sees it and gets surprised xD Superyoshibros20 (talk) 19:07, January 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it'll be better without the question mark.

Zuzana Annal citation
Hey, Nobody. It's not like I actually wanted to add a fact without the citation, but I don't use Facebook that much. Back on those times where I used it I remembered finding Zuzana Annal's profile and reading that, so I added that piece of info having the search for the profile later in mind. I actually want to confirm that statement now, so let me know if you find something here useful to support it. 01:43, January 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * I could look it up but I just need a way to show you. Maybe screen captures? 13:48, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Testing
Actually, that had nothing to do with anything that RSK did (I have no idea what incident you are even talking about), I was just using it as a test on an account that because it's an almost unused account (only for chat), and I didn't want to put it on the Sandbox because there was already stuff there. I was testing around with the idea of changing the default userpage setup, because I notice that when new users join they don't seem to know how to remove the "add icon" and "favourite game #__" and put in the game name and image instead. I was experimenting around with ways to make it easier an less confusing for new users to edit their userpage.

Sorry about editing on the userpage, I didn't know it would offend you. 23:46, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't know if I could delete everything in the Sandbox because I didn't know if the other people who had stuff on their were done with it. Otherwise I would have used it the first time.  23:35, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Request for deletion
Hello NOBODY. I was just going over Venus fly trap (Feed Me) and found an image I had uploaded three years ago (quite a while, I know). I had assembled this image's frames together myself without taking captures of every frame so now I wanted to request its deletion. I might re-upload one with the correct frames in a transparent background later. -- 21:26, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I replaced it now. It sort of looks like this: [[File:Animated_Venus_Fly_Trap.gif]] -- 22:15, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Neyah
Yeah I know. What I'm saying is that I personally don't think there should be too much text on a starting user's userpage expecting them to want images, that's all. 23:42, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oops sorry that was for Emite. I don't know how it ended up here. 00:30, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Banning
Oh sorry I only looked at your last message. You used the word "ban" instead of "block" so I guess I ended up skimming over it. Still, I wouldn't block the user for a week. It is possible that perhaps they were editing and decided to come back to their messages later, or that they thought it was just the automated welcome and ignored it. A block to get their attention of that should be okay, but it would probably have been better to make it short, ie. a day at most. The user wasn't doing anything inappropriate, it was more of an editing mishap. 21:15, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Out of Curiosity...
So I recently noticed that there's a 'Male characters' category and a 'Female characters' category. Do you think there should be a 'Genderless characters' category? I was hesitant to make one because I don't wanna get banned for making a mistake liek that :S

Speaking of ban, I recently noticed that a user joined and got banned in the same day here. Serves him right for not looking at his message wall. I also wanted to point out that you spelled warning with another 'r' rather than an 'n' in two of the messages you sent him.

Anyways, I hope you reply to this message. I know I haven't been editing as much, but either you or Puffles goes and edits the same page anyways...

How are users going to communicate with you about posting in the Nitrome blog now? 01:04, March 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, I don't mean to irritate you, but the walkers image is a JPEG. It is already "unsatisfactory", and it might be best to focus on one issue at a time, ie. wait for


 * Or maybe go for a "This image has several issues:" template that allows users to list multiple concerns with the image that need to be addressed. JPEG can be one of these issues so it doesn't need to be on the page as well. 01:12, March 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I meant if it's just a checklist of issues the image has, then they can be put into that one template. Then again, that might not be a good idea; if the image is a JPEG that needs to be replaced, then we shouldn't be asking users to give it a transparent background (since that just doesn't work in the JPEG format). It would be more ideal to have just Template:JPEG for a JPEG that requires a PNG alternative. If the uploader didn't add a transparent background and you feel there needs to be one, then add the "needs transparency" template.


 * Perhaps that would be a better approach: having a separate template for every issue instead of one template that tries to list them all out for you. There couldn't be too many to tackle at once, and I can't imagine how many you would like to address for a specific image. 02:05, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Female protagonist
A page was created for the protagonist of Ditto, but it was under the title Protagonist of Ditto (please edit). If you want to restore the content when the game gets released, be sure to move the page to Protagonist (Ditto) (that is, if the character remains nameless) and merge the content if the page is already created. It's just a heads up, in case I'm not around. 01:44, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

08:33, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I got your message. It was very kind, but I don't think I'll need help, as I just need to familiarize myself with the given tools and templates--I usually learn quickly--and, though I could also learn about, if you will, the proper "ettiquette" of editing, I feel that I've learned sufficient caution from my recent mistake.

Anyways, It was interesting to read your profile. I definitely sympathize with your parent-placed limits on computer time. Personally, I think that my grades and standardized test scores give my folks no reason to complain, but, as with you, it seems to be more of a matter of time spent on the computer than one of time not spent on schoolwork. I also found the self-deprecating comments amusing, despite their innacuracy (seriously, this may come as a surprise to you, but you're kind of the biggest name on the wiki).

Anyways, thank you for your offer.

Unnamed Robot Game
Hey NOBODY, I was wondering if we could make the Unnamed Robot Game have its own page. I just think that it is really confusing with the way it is set up (with the fact that people are then directed in skins) and people might want to just be searching through games. Pufflesrcute (talk) 03:24, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Nitrome Game Jam
Lol I believe the comment about "testing your reflexes" was in response to the pre-release of changeType, since the user said they were ready to "test [their] brain", which is responding to that last sentence of the first paragraph of the post: "[the game] is going to make your brains hurt....in a good way!" The user added a question to the end of their comment, but it seems as though Nitrome didn't acknowledge the question, and just responded to the first part of the comment. (The game is going to make brains hurt and test your reflexes.) This isn't a response to the Game Jam question at all; the answer just doesn't make sense if put together. Either Nitrome hasn't decided on the topic or they want to keep it secret. Regardless, Nitrome's response to that comment had to do with changeType and nothing at all with the Jam.

Nitrome's Game Jam is still in a very early development stage, so there's very little detail that can be put into an article at the moment. A lot of these comments used as sources show Nitrome's uncertainty on the matter. I think it would be best to wait until we get more, official details in a "published source" (ie Nitrome blog) because then the information will be more definitive and certain. Right now this draft mostly relies on comments as references, and these comments show that Nitrome doesn't have many official details about this Jam to release yet (note in their comments they use "think" a lot, yet the article changes it to a definite statement).

tl;dr Wait for official details (ideally in a blog post) before making an article about the Game Jam. 06:40, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Unnamed Robot Game
The only reason that section yields 2000 or so bytes is because of all the references with big excerpts of text. The text itself without the refs will probably give you half that amount. You'd be trying to make an article based one comment as a reference, which doesn't make for a very reliable article.

In fact, there is only a small amount of definite information to draw from this comment. We know the game is puzzle based, and involves the mouse. It was also scrapped when it was in early development. You could put "unnamed" before "game", and that covers the fact that the game had no name. That's all you can get out of this comment. "Not enough to it" is a rather arbitrary phrase which doesn't give very much to work with. I suppose "lack of content" could mean the same here.

The section has way too much speculation in it, and that's the only reason it has length. If we were to rewrite this section with a minimal amount of speculation, it could be reduced to two sentences:

"Three spherical creatures - two riding a plane - appear next to a house in the skin. These characters were part of an unnamed puzzle game requiring the use of a mouse that was cancelled in its early development."

I recommend against creating a separate article due to the lack of notability and proper sources. While I understand trying to create a game article on a skin page is confusing, that alone does not give way to page creation. On the talk page, I said that it was okay to only mention the game, with the focus on the characters coming from the unnamed game but not the unnamed game itself. You can use the one comment as I did, but avoid jumping to too many conclusions (these would make a great blog post though!). 07:09, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Battle of the Week queue
Don't you think you should consider putting a cap on how many battles a user can suggest at a time? Because if I was to suggest a battle now, I'd have to wait for almost half a year before my suggested battle takes place. And most of the battles in the queue are from the same user. Not that I don't think users should suggest a lot of battles, but I think other users should be able to see their battles take place before they turn eighty. 02:48, March 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * lol why are you asking me; you're the one who's running Battle of the Week. I'm only making a suggestion here. Personally I think a maximum of five battles is too much; I'd go for maybe two or three at the moment, given the number of users who suggest battles. When Santi ran BoTW, he only limited them to one per user, although there were many users suggesting before. Just consider the fact that each battle runs for a week, which means a week longer a user has to wait for every additional battle idea a user suggests in a row.


 * The queue page is an interesting idea, but could make things too complicated for yourself. If other different users are suggesting ideas, you might add on to the next battles template, but that means that the battles in the queue template are forgotten. It might be best to just decline all suggestions from a single user if they pass the limit until their battle has taken place (of which they can suggest more). 07:44, March 31, 2014 (UTC)

About my "fanart" images
Why did I upload:

1.When i uploaded the cuboy fanart image i didnt even know that a fan wiki exists or read any messages

2.I uploaded the cat image for an userbox that indicates I make games on Scratch


 * 1) Reading your messages is important! By reading them earlier, the fanfiction wiki would have been known to you sooner.
 * 2) Userbox images are still considered "personal" (not fanart, as Gouchnox said on your talk page) and need to be uploaded off wiki, unless they are already in use on a permissible space on this wiki. Most of the time, these will be Nitrome related, but non Nitrome related images can be allowed under special circumstances. The Scratch picture, unfortunately, isn't one of them. The code Gouchnox gave you works as an alternate replacement. 07:26, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

Citations template
I'm thinking of adding a section for comments, so that you can use the citations template too. There's a copy over at Template:Citation/test if you want to see. I'm not really sure what sort of format we should go for, since comments are sometimes so unclear and unstable that I'm almost inclined to believe they shouldn't be used as citations period. Anyways, does the format look all right? I'm trying to make them compact while still delivering the major bits. 07:42, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

A strange question
When rendering a page (you know, with the tag), the collapsible boxes are not collapsible anymore. For example this:

How can you override that and still have the collapsible thing when rendering ? (if possible)

"That's not her name"
Yeah, but girl isn't exactly her name either. I looked up "hero" (because heroine is just the feminine version of hero), and apparently can be another way of referring to the main character in a work of fiction. Nitrome refers to the protag as both as a girl and heroine, but only in the avatars page, it seems for the latter. The source for pointing out she's just a girl is more public, so I would suggest keeping it to that title. We should keep in mind that not everyone who browses the wiki has a Nitrome account, necessarily, which is the only way to verify the avatar names. If there is a more public source that gives a name/referral otherwise, we should use that first and foremost. 17:25, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * You said earlier that "a name has to be capitalised". "Abstract girl" clearly isn't capitalised in that comment. So why does that make "Girl" any more of a name than "heroine"? 02:26, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Normally, it would be better to stay with the more public source, but in cases with heroine vs. girl, it might not matter since both are technically correct. Heroine just means she's the female protagonist, but I guess girl is more specific and we have a source to prove that. I'd say just stick with girl. We do need to take into consideration that not everyone who browses the wiki is going to have an account, and if there is a given title for the character within the game/on the blog that is different from the avatars page, the in-game name should be used. I find the avatars page also has a number of glaring errors and contradictions to their respective games, making them more unreliable. 22:42, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Development of Icebreaker
Hey NOBODY, I got your message yesterday. It's going to take some time to proofread it; you've got a lot of content in there, nice.

Erm, is the citations template not working out for you? Because this template is only being used on like four content pages, and A Viking Voyage isn't one of them. 17:31, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Sure, that's fine. The WIP is mainly just for the Development section but because you combined ref tags with other sections, I decided to just WIP the whole page. I'm not sure how the version updates connect with the need for a 'free version', though. Also be sure to add dates to when comments were posted/when you retrieved them. 00:28, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Message Mania
Hm, although I didn't expect you to tell me this, but yes. I was on the urge on telling you about that and some other issues as well. About the Fan Art policy though, after observing Tema.gubert, is seems like she is quite illiterate in English, which has caused a lot of immature fights recently going on in the chat. maybe remove it? Erm, in case you weren't looking at recent edits, which you obviously haven't been doing so carefully, here's the only remaining source:

http://nitrome.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Frostyflytrap?redirect=no#Tema_the_rule_breaker

I have no need for you to help me in chat, for I know what I must do. I must get into their minds and hearts to let them know this wiki's meaning and ways. Well, from our low English literacy rate forcing us to grind with the fact that users like to upload files more than edit articles. All I suggest is that we need to find a better and lighter approach towards new users, especially to those who don't know English. But do know English swearing, er wha..? Nothing. --14:15, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding: Message Mania
And also, here's a quick tip:

Try to use both Recent Changes and Recent Activity simultaneuosly, it does sometimes let you notice what you haven't before. And what I mean by that is not everything you see at is what you've already looked at.

Spoiler for trivia points
Here is a quick little template I made that lets spoiler templates stay inline with bullet points rather than having them be put on a separate line. It should be good for trivia points or just making bullet lists in general. I'll have to ask about how to fix the placement of the show/hide link, since I'm not sure how to fix that at the moment but at least it keeps the point on the same line. An example of its implementation can be found here. 07:30, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Logo
I'll wait for the release of Icebreaker Android and make a logo with the new level pack content. What do you think? 20:42, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Feed Meh
Yeah, how about asking Nitrome to make a Memory Lane post about it instead? I'm serious. :/

Well if it isn't public, the claim cannot be verified by every other reader who comes across it. Clearly the claim isn't public. The person who wants to check the file names has to go through the trouble of downloading a decompiler, then using it to decompile the game.

Sure not all sources need to be blog articles, but they should be ones that don't require the need to install or download additional tools to view them. Of course we could say that "Nitrome games require Flash player!", but I think it's safe to assume nowadays that modern computers come with Flash player and thus, people can verify information by playing the games. Information taken from playing the games is almost always important to the wiki. Most things that can only be found by decompiling are not.

I hate to repeat myself like a broken record here, but the fact that Nitrome is one of the featured clients of a decompiler protection software gives the impression that we're slapping Nitrome in the face by deliberately decompiling their games. Like I always say: it's a lot better to play it safe than regret it later. Maybe we're not decompiling with bad intentions, but we set an example that Nitrome is okay with decompilation, regardless of the situation. And it's not.

We don't need to decompile games to be a good wiki. Even if it doesn't make us the expansive reliable database you've always wanted, it at least keeps our integrity. Which also brings up a peculiar point: I'm a bit surprised you decided to remove the "Unused content" section on Feed Me altogether instead of restoring it. You know, since you're so confident you don't need a verifiable source to prove the claim. 04:56, May 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, because your summary made it sound like you were mad that I removed that information because of its source. 03:19, May 5, 2014 (UTC)

Icebreaker template
Yep, that's the plan. I had to go for a bit, which is why I didn't make much progress yet. Plus, I'm trying a bit of the new level pack. Have you gotten the game yet? 01:38, May 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do you think it's better for the template to be collapsed by default or uncollapsed? 01:45, May 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * If you plan on doing that, can you start with the latest one with all the templates (Under Dwell) and then work your way backwards? I'm working with Hammerfest, and we might get an edit conflict. 01:47, May 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Even better, could you also add level 3 headings? The issue I had with the template's initial design is that it used HTML for headings, so the edit section links didn't display, making it more difficult to pinpoint sections. 01:49, May 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * LOL. And don't edit Hammerfest; I'm currently fixing it up as we speak. Thanks, NOBODY. 01:54, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Pixel Pop not counting as an NES game
Now i mean no harm, i just want to know why the icon isn't enough evidence, it already tells that it's an NES game you even said it! Pixel Pop, except for its icon see? Also Pixel Pop did appear as Pop Bro's one time, anything is possible with what that Pop Bro's thing is, it might of been even a scrapped sequal or something. Also it's worth mentoning that Pixel Pop was the first NES game if you say it my way, it appeared way before treadmill, so nitrome probably didn't even thought of the intro showing putting in the cartidge, also even if we were to ask nitrome, they woudn't redo the intro again just to prove that it's an NES game, don't you see?

RE: Flightless comment
Calm your stuff man; it's because I haven't checked the Flightless article in a while. That page is a bit of a nightmare to sift through, but thankfully not as brutal as A Viking Voyage. I was a little preoccupied/Nitrome hasn't exactly said a lot about the game for me to notice?

I'm not asking you stop replying to comments asking about Flightless, though I didn't specify this when I made my reply. I'm simply bothered by the comments that go something like "Nitrome has new information on Flightless, however, they do not want to share it." It's a comment that contradicts itself, and if it doesn't, is just common sense that is so ambiguous it could be applied to any other Nitrome game in development. ("Yeah Nitrome has new information about that new game they're making but they don't want to share it obviously because it hasn't been announced anywhere.") Concerning the comment however, I thought you might change the wording, even point users to the source that says such news, but you never did. Until today I guess, when I make a reply that causes you to leave your message.

The latest tweet I found about Flightless was the only source I had been referring to for Flightless' progress. Yes getting Greenlit has had a 'negative' impact on its progress, but I just don't think that's enough to assume Nitrome has made progress or the project as a whole has come to a standstill. Both are negative to the progress, so I couldn't say for sure. How about "We haven't got any more info on the project that we want to share." That doesn't necessarily mean Nitrome has new information or Flightless is even progressing. It could be on hold, for all we know.

In fact, it might have been more ideal to point out the latest piece of information they had given concerning Flightless. A little more specific and warm: "The most recent news about Flightless I could find was a tweet made a couple of months ago. Apparently getting greenlit has had a negative impact on its progress. I'm not sure what that means, but we probably won't be hearing about Flightless for a while."

Hey, you don't have to listen to me. Most likely you won't. But from the perspective of a user who hadn't seen the comments you were referring to, that answer just leads to irritation and more confusion. 23:10, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

YouTube
Wait, I actually didn't mean to upload it here. Did I upload it here? I was avoiding that to happen again and it did. I swear I used the Youtube extension tag, I have no idea why it even ended up as an uploaded file here. Perhaps I used the wrong tag. What're you going to use my video for?

Oh and hmm, that's strange that you can't access the video. I tested with another account to see if safety mode disables me from seeing the vid, but it doen't seem to have any effect.

--04:12, May 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * The YouTube extension tag automatically converts videos into "files" as it would if the video embed tool was used. You can still embed videos in the same manner the YouTube extension used to by using the parser function: . For some reason this code isn't working for me on Chrome, but I think I can file a bug report since it used to work before.  06:18, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation doubles
Disambiguation pages with only two links can be created in the case that there isn't one obvious title the player searches for. For example, there are two pages that share the title "Dirk Valentine", one for the game, and one for the main character. But since everyone who knows "Dirk Valentine" will be aware that he comes from the game "Dirk Valentine", we can keep the title Dirk Valentine for the game while Dirk Valentine (character) becomes a disambiguation. In this case, there only needs to be a for (or otherpage) linking between the two pages. This would also apply if one title had to do with a game and the other to a specific component found in another game, because games are usually more public than their components are (which require playing the game in the first place).

Now let's take a look at snakes. We have two titles: one for hazards in Ditto and one for enemies in Rainbogeddon. Both of these are about a specific component found within a game, and one would not be considered "well known" than the other (unless you want to argue that one game is more popular than the other, which starts to introduce bias). For the visitor who wants to look up "snakes", there is no title that would be suitable for the title "Snakes" to redirect to. Because the two are of "equal" importance, you can create a disambiguation page.

Well I guess it doesn't really matter now, since Go search is disabled anyways, and disambiguation pages were most helpful for that situation. Anyways, you don't have to make a disambiguation for snakes if you don't want. It's just food for thought.

Oh and if you're concerned about "short page" count for requesting a spotlight or something, just remember that disambiguation pages do not really count as "content pages", and can be exempted from the stub count. 06:32, May 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * It doesn't hurt to. I mean, the worst that can happen is that it does nothing. But it's nice to put the wiki out there; just because it didn't work once doesn't mean it won't work again. Consider the fact that most of the visitors who did see the wiki during the time it was "spotlighted" were probably just lurking and didn't actually edit. 02:45, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Welcome message
Oh, you want to use it now? I was just waiting to see if any of the other users had anything to add or change to it, but I could take their silence as agreement until they object. I'll just remove the collapsible component, and then implement it. Bluboy will be added, of course! 17:42, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

I Need to Be Temporarily Made an Admin on the Fanfiction Wiki
You aren't quite active on there (no offense), and I need to upload two of the same picture I uploaded. It's a long story...

Chislerlikescheese thought that 'darn' looked liek something else in Season 2 Episode 1 of my comic NMDFanfictionMon and insisted that I go fix it or else he'd ban me. I tried using the 'upload a different version of this file' option, but it glitched out so that when I went to fullscreen, the error was still there. Altogether, I needed to upload a whole different file since the difference wasn't showing up. It took five minutes longer to upload a new file and it was not fun at all.

I'd ask you to do it, but I'm afraid that I'd give you vague directions on which one to delete and you'd delete the wrong one. So just temporarily make me an admin so I can remove the correct picture please. I promise I'll tell you when I finished deleting the picture :3

Jam template
If the template was created to save time, Help:Pipe trick also does the same thing, if not a bit faster. I just checked to see if it works with the Jam namespace, and it does.

I also think it might be time to start creating pages for games that are already up, since there's a possibility we'll be seeing a huge influx of games put up over the weekend. It's better to get a head start on it now. 06:18, June 7, 2014 (UTC)

The history of Nitrome wiki
Hi.

What if we'd do a 'History of Nitrome wiki' page. Remember the times when Nitrome wiki was very edited, and the blog posts were full of comments? The times when everyone seemed happier? (Or maybe it's just me who doesn't like changes). All these years, users came and left. (not going to give names if you won't ask me). The times when people posted fanart here? (I have checked to many old blog posts recently).

I was just suggesting a page like that, where we credit the users who left and those who are still joined.

The wiki seems to be 'falling to bits again', as Frost said.

Maybe I will make some kind of 'History.png' file with the users avatars and stuff, some kind of history in 1 image.

Oh well...

16:16, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Wait
Before editing out the  tags, could you go through this page and put spaces in their proper places? That way the template can work without having to specify parameters. We can keep Game in the title so they're easier to index, as you can see from the special page. 19:56, July 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's 'cause I just renamed them all. Although MediaWiki pages don't seem to take redirects too well so we'll just have to edit them manually. Don't bother adding parameters since the template is automatically supposed to convert them now. It only serves to correct the name of the MediaWiki page without the Game prefix. 20:07, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Huh, strange
When I looked at one of the user's welcome messages, I noticed that the link was in red. I tried clicking on it, and it said that I needed to go to Community Central to view their help page. I thought the deletion was permanent, so I switched the link to the Community Central page. I could switch it back, I guess. It makes sense either way, since searching on that page leads the user to Community Central but all the other links remain on the wiki. Would you prefer a revert? 05:56, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Hot Air!
I was actually legitimately trying to edit on the Sleepless Pug page, but I was also still working on titles, and I accidentally clicked "Publish" instead of "Back" on the source editor to make the real edit. Does that explain myself? I don't want to lose your trust.

Editing Speed Run!
Hello NOBODY! I was editing on here recently and noticed that there are a lot of pages that are missing pieces of information and lots of Stubs as well. It got me to thinking about something big that we could do to fix up a lot of these old, forgotten pages and Stubs. The idea is something I call an Editing Speed Run. We'll get the word out about it through blog posts on the Wiki. We schedule a day where users can come and participate in the event. Wikians will simply click the Random Page button and then start editing. Once they're finished, they click the Randomizer button again and repeat the cycle. Making the whole thing an event will make users more likely to be willing to edit these old pages and go on, essentially, an Editing Speed Run, in my opinion. Just a crazy idea, but it was something I thought would really help out the Wiki and would be kind of fun too!

RE: Editing Speed Run!
Okay, great! We'll have to schedule a specific date for it so that users can plan around it and make time for the event. If you'd like I can take care of the blog post and getting word out about it, as I've noticed that you tend to do mostly editing articles in the short amount of time you are able to get on.

Current state of editing
Hey NOBODY, you might have noticed that right now i'm not editing frequently like I said I would. I just wanted to let you know that i'll get back on track in a day or so, i'm just having a busy week.

How do you upload a video on wikia ? Apparently you can use a video url but I want to post mine... I have managed to find so much glitches/fun portal mechanics in the level 20 of TSC that I can beat it is less than 20 seconds, and I fell like it'll be an interesting thing to post on the TSC page. 09:59, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

Direct link to Nitrome blog comments
Hey, do you have the slightest idea on how to link directly to a specific comment on the Nitrome blog?

This is an example: http://www.nitrome.com/comments/?hid=567712&pid=567678&t=2&id=1135&notification_id=

My question is, how does one specify the highlighted reply, and link to a separate page containing just the comment and its replies?

-RedWarlock (talk) 02:04, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Link to Nitrome Comments
Thanks a lot! Here's a link I came up with: http://www.nitrome.com/comments/?hid=562389&pid=562297&t=2&id=1132&notification_id=

So if Nitrome ever reveals the credits on who designs the skins, we have to write about that here right?

And oh about that last part of the string "&notification_id=" what's that for and what goes there?

RE: Your comment
At first, I will say thank you for deleting my comment because it was harsh.But, I want to know what will you do if Tema said me a more harsh word? I don't want to say this harsh word in here. So, please answer me. 06:39, September 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * He said the word in chat, that's why I'm angry with him. Anyway, I am leaving this wiki, so it doesn't matter. 04:02, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Notice
Hey about that one user who vandalized the Jay is Games page, I've been checking out his edits on the other wiki's he's edited on. And it seems that he's always been doing vandalism edits and harassing other users. This is just to tell you that he may not stop, but I guess we can't block him if he hasn't done anything yet. So I gues we wait and see waht happens.

--RedWarlock (talk) 02:33, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry That it Took me Too Long to Notice...
Yes, I finally see that you're not a huge fan of semicolons because every time I edit something and I add a semicolon (because the sentence is short), you go back and remove the semicolon. I'm so sorry that I didn't notice before. I promise that I'll never use a semicolon again! Then you won't have to go and undo edits that I make! :D

Regarding this
There are parts of Small Fry where you have to pick up a character using the mouse and drag them through passageways full of spikes and if you drop them you have to start over. For example, level 13 is basically just a long mouse avoidance level.

21:14, October 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess you're right. While Small Fry does have some mouse avoidance parts to it, most of the game isn't like that. I just wanted to make sure you were aware. 22:21, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Tanked Up image sections
I added them because RedWarlock went to the work of capturing the whole track down to the pixels and seeing it in a smaller size in the gallery isn't the same. For example, in Desert Heat in the smaller gallery version, you can't see the wreck with the Hot Air face on it as anything more than a brown smudge, and in Rumble in the Jungle you can't see where the starting line is without looking carefully and you can't tell that there are mines in the lower half. I think having a good sized image to look at so readers can look at more intricate details of the tracks is important. It's much easier to find out how a track functions from looking at a detailed image than from having it explained in text. 22:50, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Twitter spam
I deleted the post...I haven't a clue who is doing it. I made a list of users who I know have access to either the Facebook and Twitter accounts, though I'm not sure how we would track them down at this point. It might be best to change the password, but I'll need to message those who currently have access to it at some point. (also I'm taking a look at the other articles, will get back to you on that soon. I'm testing out Wikia's new image gallery) 00:47, October 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I have not tweeted anything with the Twitter account. I have access to it, but I have not done anything on it except change the profile image. What spam tweets are we talking about? The link NOBODY posted doesn't lead to anything for me. 03:17, October 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * It was a post I deleted, but I guess I should have kept it so that others could see, my bad. I think it was some advert for a watch. I'm not sure how that snuck onto our feeds. Either way, I believe it's due time to change the password, though we'll need to do it in a way that the active users still using the accounts will still be able to get in. 07:50, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Top secret
First things first: use wayback for Wayback Machine archives. You don't need a retrieved date for them; it's useless information. The purpose of adding a retrieved date to active links like blog posts is that over time, a number of these links start to rot, or change over time. If a link breaks, we can use sites like Wayback to search up an archive that was as close to the day it was retrieved to preserve the citation. Archived entries are already archived, so that particular captured archive does not change.

Now that that's aside, "Top secret" is just a title, not the official name of the game...it probably makes more sense to refer to the game as "the game" or "the mystery", not "Top secret". It's a placeholder, because a heading is required for the game.

Also add sic next to typos in quotations, as to preserve the text. There's no need to add square brackets.

Overall, the sources are kind of vague, since the only information we have is just about its progress and nothing else. It almost seems like it could make do without some of the sources.

Citation 6 does not relate to its statement at all:

The secret iOS game is still progressing well but we don't want to take away from any Icebreaker exposure so you will have to wait until after that's out before we reveal that!

This does not necessarily prove that the game was put on hold. All this comment says is that you have to wait until they reveal "that" (I think they mean progress? This comment is hard to understand without context, and there doesn't seem to be any in the link.). To use it to support the fact that the game was on hold during Icebreaker's exposure is a false claim.

This seems to be an issue with a number of these sources, especially the comment references. It's getting late, I'll look at the unannounced mobile game in more detail tomorrow. At first glance, it seems this article's sources don't really add up to any solid facts except its (vague) development process. 08:21, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

WIP policy violation question
The WIP policy states that a user cannot edit a WIP page without asking for the user who added the WIP template's permission. However, when I left my WIP for a month and you and Tema started editing Nitrome Touchy/Controls, neither of you removed the WIP. I then reconsidered myself "re-adding" the WIP as I resumed what I originally intended to do with the page. Even though I'm in the process of redoing the format of the Controls page, Tema keeps trying to revert my edits to the way the page was normally structured. He even removed my WIP to make edits (which I had undone before with an explanation in the summary) and then adds the template with my name back to the page.

I have given Tema two warnings for that and suggested the alternative: moving the specific Touchy controls from the Controls page to the game pages themselves. (I left a talk page message; no one has replied to it in two days.) Tema seems capable of understanding instructions, seeing as he added the "for" template on the Tribesmen page promptly after I suggested it. It seems to me like he is deliberately ignoring some messages over others.

How should I deal with a situation like this, both with my "re-adding" of the WIP and Tema's removal and reinsertion of my WIP? Because I left and came back after you and Tema edited the controls page but didn't remove the WIP, am I still allowed to keep editing it and have "WIP access"? And since Tema was (or will be) warned three times for a WIP policy violation, would a (temporary) block for him be necessary at this point? 08:13, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Validity of title
"Unannounced mobile game" seems kind of contradictory, since Nitrome did announce the game in the blog post along with the "Top secret" project. It's not like it was only in the comments and comments alone. Not that I can think of an alternative name for it at the moment, but I'll see what I can do...

Also you might want to consider using the forums for this sort of discussion so that more people can provide input. I am just one opinion here. 22:06, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Avatar deletion
On the contrary, the opposite must require a community consensus: the uploading of avatars before their official release date. Once they are live, they cannot be taken back. But you can always put the avatars out there. So I disagree with the fact that they should be put up on the sole reason that this wasn't discussed before. It is a spoiler of unreleased content, regardless of whether Nitrome notices it or not. It's more about the intention and the poor practices this induces by allowing it. Basically all you need to do is wait for the avatar hint to be released. It's not like I'm saying you should stop uploading avatars forever. Remember Nitrome Wiki is not a crystal ball. We should not be predicting things before Nitrome puts them out.

I didn't see that comment you pointed out, but the one I do want to address was the other one with the fact that they were fixing an issue so that avatars couldn't be seen/used before their hints came out. If this wasn't an issue, why would they attempt to fix it? Sim has clearly "ben[t] some of the rules". In retrospect, you're not supposed to be searching for the avatars before the hint comes out.

Of course there could be varying reasons why Nitrome put the URLs up in the first place, eg. for convenience, to ensure that they're up on time for their intended release etc. This does not prove that they are okay with having avatars up. What, you can't even put these on the Avatars page because you won't know what order they are in, or the hint.

I think of keeping avatars off the wiki until their hint is released as a courtesy and respect for the developers who took time to implement the avatar system. Last time I was too lenient in letting users upload unreleased avatars, but I'll be sure not to make that mistake again. This is literally the equivalent of users uploading unreleased game content that has not officially been announced or made public. This wiki has been too ignorant in bending the rules, even going against its own scope of being the first to deliver Nitrome information rather than Nitrome being the first to deliver its own announcements. All that's being asked here is that the wiki wait until avatars are actually released on Nitrome.com before uploading the photos themselves. You know what I mean, and what was currently being done and approved by you does not count. 00:10, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Top secret
I think creating a mainspace page for the top secret project should be okay with the release of the teaser. Not that there's a lot more to say about it, as you said, but at least we have a little more information and some actual brief possible footage from the game.

Okay my main issue with the unannounced mobile game is the validity of some of the comment sources, particularly this comment one: ''Remember that we did not show off anything on Icebreaker before it was 80% complete and that [Top Secret] is only 20% complete. [This shows the unannounced mobile game was put into development in late January], 15 Aug 2014, retrieved 14 Oct 2014.''

First off @ that bracketed statement: not really. From the full comment, the only thing I can really gather on its own is that Nitrome has learned not to overhype their games by posting progress too early into development. Nowhere does this source even relate to when this unannounced mobile game was put into development (in January) and judging from the original comment which Nitrome replied to, this had to do with the "top secret iOS game", which could have easily been confused with the Top secret project that was revealed today. To relate the two would be a stretch. The same goes for the "top secret mobile game".

For these reasons I would hold back on bringing the unannounced mobile game to the mainspace; there just isn't enough information to gather, especially from questionable sources. Comments need to be clearly stated, for the most part. I would avoid making them the primary references for an article. It's a lot better to use blog posts and interviews where possible. 08:32, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Top secret reveal
Oh uh I must have missed that second part. You can add the important information back. I just thought it would be better integrated into the other paragraphs without having to actually mention the blog post (since it is used as a citation). ie use the blog post to tell the reader what they need to know from this source; don't actually point out the source because you're already linking it. You don't need to change the citation for this because the blog post is pretty short.

I think we need to hold back on putting the unannounced mobile game to mainspace. Top secret should be fine, though the trailer barely scrapes the surface of what the game is. Never mind; we've got two more teasers coming in so it should be okay.

Anyways, about the unannounced mobile game, some of its sources are not clarified or reliable enough to be put into the mainspace. This mostly arises with using comments:


 * We're well on our way with the second game [second mobile game, which is not 8bit Doves because this comment predates the Nitrome Jam] :)
 * While I'd rather have this clearly stated (Nitrome's second mobile release 8bit Doves originated from the Nitrome Jam), the second issue here is that this comment does not state whether this mobile game Nitrome is referring to is this unannounced mobile game or the top secret project. Reading the thread doesn't actually help either because all the user asks is why Nitrome is only focusing on Icebreaker A Viking Voyage. If you have to go beyond explaining a comment's meaning, then it isn't a very good comment to use as a citation in the first place.
 * Citation 2: there are way too many citations in here, and that's because the sources are too unreliable. The inferencing is really a pain because there are too many words here that are yours and we have to check that against the comment. On its own, it is too vague. I would probably remove the first and last citations within this ref tag, since the first is too irrelevant to the unannounced mobile game and the other gives little to no helpful information without having to explain in your own words. That does not make for a good source at all.
 * The last citation seems like it has to do with the top secret game. Again, you might be able to reflect on other comments and piece the information together, but other readers can't or don't have time for that. It just makes the page look more unreliable if the information can't be verified by that source and that source alone. The user who asked the question was asking about the "top secret mobile game", that picture which was displayed on the mobile page as "Top secret". It might not be the unannounced mobile game the page claims it is, but with this source, we would never be able to tell.

Yeah you got to be careful using those comments, as drawing inferences with the comment itself delivering little information. I'd wait for more reliable sources, ideally blog posts, to start actually writing the article on this vaguely stated game. 08:58, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

Top secret subpage to mainspace
You know you can put Top secret in the mainspace...it's being teased in the blog posts with trailers and the like...and users are trying to put it in the games template. There really is no need to wait for it become perfect, and there's no need to wait for me to always approve of what you write. Just make it a content article; if there is something another user or I doesn't see fit in the article, we will let you know. It's the unannounced mobile game that I highly suggest keeping out of the mainspace until we get more information on it. Again, you can put this in the mainspace if you really want to; I personally don't think it's a good idea with what little information we've been given on this cryptic game. 06:58, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, I'm going to look at those sources now. 07:02, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Gameplay section - I'm hoping we'll be getting a screenshot of what people should see if they were to pause the video at that exact moment (since the flashing of this image is quite brief).


 * Putting two citations like that into one ref tag is a bit bloated imo; it's probably better to keep them in separate ref tags put side by side.


 * It seems the citation template might be acting weird with the italics in the excerpts - I'm removing some of the italics, but I don't see anything wrong at the moment. Let me know what's wrong with the citation template and why you have some random   tags within citations.


 * - These citations feel unnecessary and don't quite reference the statement you are trying to support. That one statement, which quite explicitly says something like "We don't want to take away from Icebreaker's exposure" is enough. The other two come across as that Nitrome doesn't want to discuss the top secret mobile game simply because they are working on Icebreaker, which is not the same as not wanting to distract their fans.


 * Although Icebreaker was a success and a further mobile games have been released, Nitrome at the time felt that they were not yet ready to reveal information regarding Top secret. - I don't get what "a further mobile games have been released" means.


 * Also about the stuff in the input template, I think it's better to split the three citations into three separate ref tags and put the side by side next to the statement you want to relate it to. When you say the "top secret game" by the way, are you referring to the unannounced one (not on the Mobile page) or the "Top secret" mobile project in the crate? Sorry if that's already mentioned on the article; it's kinda been a long day. 07:35, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

Avatar names
Wait, so do you just not want avatar names to be used at all? What if the character/component was only given a name in the avatar, but not the game? Should the avatar name still be considered? 07:58, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Images (AKA what actually happened)
Well what actually happened was my dad began using the treadmill. See, for some reason whenever someone uses the treadmill in the next room over, our internet gets REALLY slow, and practically can't do anything. I didn't realize my dad had gotten on the treadmill, and I was still editing the page while it was going. But when I tried to preview or do something more complicated than just typing (I can't remember exactly what), the tab sort of froze. This was the scene:

''I could move my mouse, but hovering over buttons wouldn't change it to the "hand" icon and hovering over text wouldn't change it to the "I" icon, it would just stay as the default mouse icon no matter what. Some buttons would still "push in" when clicked but nothing would happen, and others just wouldn't respond at all. I couldn't highlight any text or interact with any images, but I still could use the mouse wheel to scroll.''

So I spent a few minutes trying to understand what was happening and figure out why things were acting so weird by pressing buttons, trying to highlight text, etc. It wasn't until minutes later that I realized the treadmill was in use and remembered that that made our internet slow.

So I took a break for about a half an hour until my parent was done on the treadmill, but when I came back the tab was still doing what I described above. The weird part was that no other tabs or parts of the internet were doing it, it was just that single tab. Anyway, once I realized nothing was working to make the page change at all (except for the browser bar with the refresh button and stuff, all that was working fine.), I took the screenshots and refreshed the page, which causes all un-published changes to disappear.
