Re:
The template to use is r|book|pagenumber (add { { at the front and } } at the back, no spaces between them)

So if I was citing something I saw in Midnight, I'd say...

r|np1|24 (add { { at the front and } } at the back, no spaces between them)

The guide is as follows: os1 - os6 (Into the Wild to The Darkest Hour), np1-np6 (Midnight to Sunset), po1-po6 (The Sight to Sunrise), om1-om6 (The Fourth Apprentice to The Last Hope), and dotc1-dotc6 (The Sun Trail to Path of Stars). For super editions it's basically the initals of the book. Instead of page number you can use chapter number.

I hope this helped. I'm not very good at explanations. Please contact me if you need me to explain it further. 01:54, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

No problem. If you need anything I'm glad to help. 03:21, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

Chapter Subpages
Hey there, Mapleclaw. Just wanted to give you a little hint: there's no limit on how long chapter subpages can be. The more detail, the better.

Regards, 00:28, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Put their descriptions, and when you put them under main character, link them as Spiderstar, but say "(Unnamed)" after. 18:03, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi maple! Wanna be friends? We seem to like a lot of the same things :) --spirt (talk) 13:02, October 12, 2015 (UTC)

Yay
Hi maple! I'm sorry, but no, I don't know how to customize siggies :( Glad we are friends! I'm sad about cross country ending too:( Bye! --spirt (talk) 00:51, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

Hey! My name's Sleetflight, and I'm also a user here. I poked my nosy nose and saw that you were asking another user if they knew how to make customized siggies. I take siggie requests (even though I'm not as that good as other users around here) you are more than welcome to ask me for a siggie! If you want one, you can just go to my talk page and fill out the form over there ^^

Re:
Project Books is a project in which members work together in order to make book articles (such as chapter subpages) complete and as detailed as can be. If you join it, you can nominate articles for silver nominations. You are able to nominate an article for silver on the talk page, so long as it is complete. You will get construcments on how to fix it, and when it's as good as possible, either Splook or I will CBV it. (comments before vote.) When the CBV is up, we'll put it to a vote, and when it passes, we will grade your article silver. Also, you are able to add quotes to chapter subpages. However, make sure it is a good quote that fully expresses what the chapter is about. If this isn't clear, you can ask me some more, or you can read the guidelines for PB. Regards, 18:07, October 17, 2015 (UTC)

Signature Request
Here you go! Is this what you want :)? Just shoot me a message on my talk page if you want any changes ^^ For your siggie to work, you should put in your preferences, and remember to click the wikitext box! If anything won't work, it's usually a very small problem, like a typo or something, so just tell me and I'll try to help you!

Okay, I added the ! for meow, but the link was already directed to the talk page before... I put it User talk:Mapleclaw, which directs to the same link, but it's less confusing, but if it's not what you mean.... could you possibly explain what you mean? ^^

If you mean about that the link doesn't work, it actually does work now, I fixed it ^^ Shoot me a message if you need more help!

Yeah, I gave you the instructions on your talk page when I gave you the siggie. Go to your preferences by clicking your icon, and there will be 'preferences' somewhere, and click that. When you're in your preferences, there's going to be a heading called Signature. Type in your signature, which is and remember to click the box that says 'I want to use wikitext in my signature' or else it won't work. Scroll down and save, and you're all set! You can just click the signature icon or use your regular way how you do your signature, and it'll work.

Re:
Thank you very much! Just know that you can always come to me if you have more questions. I'm glad to help! 03:00, November 7, 2015 (UTC)

It looks fine to me. 13:30, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

Lol thanks so much. I was half asleep when I was tweaking my siggie, and I forgot the numbers.

Sorry I never answered you before about the template. About the template, it actually seems kinda impossible to fix that o.O so it might need to stay a redlink for quite some time until I figure something out. About Snookthorn, I brought his name up on PC. So once that comes to a conclusion, I'll notify you. 09:33, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

That looks fine for now. Keep it like that, and I'll work out what the problem is. You can also do that for The Lost Warrior. So that should be fine for now. 01:02, November 16, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
I fixed it. 23:41, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Maple! Just your old, boring friend, Minnow popping by because she already is bored with fixing disambiguation pages ^^ 19:36, November 26, 2015 (UTC)

Haha my mom technically cut off all access for computer + tv :( so right now, I get to use it- i literally had to cry and go on my knees :) Thanks for recognizing that I am ze back! Oh, whatever, i'm hilarious. *Strikes pose* Get to stop swimming. Vacations are awesome. 01:42, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
Okay, thanks for telling me! ^_^ I assumed the edit was for the quotes section, but I didn't check.

lol I must find this cat! She has committed a great crime by dropping litter on my beautiful talk page! Whatever. Whoops, sorry I keep disappearing :( I keep forgetting. 06:18, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

Rescue/Part 2
I couldn't help poking around PB's talk, and I see that issue about N/A for The Rescue/Part 2. It's strange, cuz other chapters have them preceded, but when I check the coding, they don't have Preceded=, they're just... not there. Maybe you should try retyping the coding? Don't listen to her. I suck at those stuff and may destroy lives forever. *swats the tiny person away* 01:35, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Heya, Maple- I hope you don't mind that I fixed some stuff for you. I'm kind of OCD about spelling, and I couldn't help it :D Hope ya don't mind too much! 05:37, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
They look like they were already renamed - they're showing up for me. Also I'll warn them but there's not much I can do because it's eventually up to them if they decide to take it down or not. Also, language barrier. 07:02, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I can't remove it :P cuz Cinderstripe was showing me a cite, but it came out as an error, and I can't remove talk page messages, so it'll be there until I archive it, but thanks for noticing :D BTW, you tweaked your sig! I like it 23:23, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Wait, what's a reflist? 23:25, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
The project pages have "Warriors Wiki:" in front of them, hence why they don't show up. Project:Books for example, has Warriors Wiki:Books as its full title, which shows up only on the full wiki activity, not the little box on the right side of the screen.

...I do not, actually. Could I have a link to the wiki in question, so I can see it for myself? If I'm able to see the problem, I might be able to find out what's up.

I think the issue might be because the page names aren't follow the actual name of the wiki? Like how ours are "Warriors Wiki:", I believe yours should be "Survivorsdogs Wiki:[project name]"...but that doesn't sound correct when read, honestly. I don't want to go making pages to check, since it's not my wiki, but that might be your issue here. With this place, it's much easier, since our wiki name is just "warriors"...

Re:Your Userpage
Hello. Trial and error XD try to space out the box and don't add so many. You can have a look at the coding I have on my user page. 00:41, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

Re:
Oh sorry if I didn't make it clear, I saw your message and am definitely willing to do your request, but I just didn't have enough time to get it done. I'm still working on it^^ you'll get it soon :)

Harry Potter
I've noticed you're a big Harry Potter fan, yet under your favorite wikis there's only Warriors and Survivors. Have you considered checking out the Harry Potter Wiki? Warriorcat1195 (talk) 21:14, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

hellos!
Hey! Would you like to be my deputy of Project World? I'd really appreciate it! Let me know your decision! 01:39, January 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yays! Given that you have had nominations passed and have participated in PC, I'm going to start under the assumption that you have a good feel of how the process works, at least from the participant side. Now as deputy, you're going to get a feel of the process from a leading stance.


 * Nomination basics are pretty much transparent from both ends of the spectrum. Wait a few days (3-5 or till the zombie apocalypse truly happens if you so desire) and if the nomination goes without comments and you see no fault with the article, you can CBV (comments before vote) it. Keep in mind, it is not a comments before approval (I try to keep the "article" projects as traditional as possible meaning I try to distance it from habits notoriously made by PCA (I say this bearing no ill intent towards PCA). CBV's usually last 24 hours, however as of recent I think the key timeline now is 3 days unless the project is busy. If the nomination has passed the CBV stage, then you can put up the vote via the operations page (also posted on the front page of the project). The new forum that will open is pretty self explanatory, but make sure to fully read it. You'll manually add the article, the signature of the user who nominated it (Nominated by), the first comment they made (Comments from nominator), the open date, the close date (five days after the open date; keep in mind the wiki time), and then you'll put your vote. Close the vote on or after the close date with a little summary/conclusion of the vote (in a fancy new heading 2 section though). Go to the talk page of the article and change the grade and go to the front page of the project and add it to the silver nominations.


 * With discussions, you should probably just make a habit of adding your input since it's generally up to the leaders of the project to guide the discussions. If a discussion remains inanimate for several weeks (3-idk the infinite of time), you can prod it by asking for anybody else's opinions (I don't suggest doing this too often as it kind of is irksome). If the discussion remains silent after a prod or just seems to remain unresolved, usually we'll archive it (cut/copy the discussion and put it in the most recent archive page).


 * Well...I think that's all the briefing necessary...haha, if you have any questions, just ask me. :) You can look at the forums, votes, discussions, etc from the past to kind of get a feel too. Thanks again! I really appreciate the help!! 02:13, January 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Haha, whoops I forgot join requests, but yes you can. As a formality, always refer them to the guidelines and when adding users to the front page, ignore any punctuation that comes with their username (usually) and the list is alphabetical so make sure to adhere to that.


 * You can definitely suggest a featured article! Since activity dwindled as well as "gold"-quality articles, we haven't been doing it monthly like it use to be, however, we're free to change that so long as it stays on a monthly basis. In addition to suggestions, you'll also be writing the little FA snippet. Basically, the snippet is just a summary, brief 2-5 paragraphs regarding certain sections of the article. Try not to copy and paste.


 * Yep! You can conclude and put up votes. You have free reign...kind of...haha but for the most part, you can do whatever your heart desires pertaining to lead functions and such and such. 04:58, January 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * The number of users we have depends mainly on appearance for such a small project. I try to keep the number above 8. Usually if a user hasn't edited the project for 3+ months, they're removed. However, it's really just up to your discretion. =) 00:21, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Fish
Nah, they're considered a contribution to the wiki, so you don't need to ask. As for where you get them, as far as I know, there aren't any particular websites... although if you find it appropriate, I think leaving credit on the image page itself would be appropriate, along with the website you got it from.

|[number]px should help. Remove the [ ] though. For example, the image on Twilight's page is |216px. It resizes the image and should hopefully fix the issue we have here...

So I didn't win the lottery...
I'm really sad about this actually :c Haha just kidding, it's way too much money to viably find a true good use for it for me at least! To get to the crux of this message though:

I usually start FA discussions around the very beginning of the month (3rd to the 12th), especially with PW being such a small project. That's my preference though ^.^ FA discussions can be started anytime in the middle of the month so I encourage you to open one!

An article is considered gold quality when it is featured... usually. When featured, we draw extra special attention to it so I like to be meticulous about its quality and that's why we usually give it the highest quality rank in addition to a feature. There are some rare exceptions where the desire to feature an article is high, but it's missing just the tiniest of details that holds it back from truly being "gold quality". There's a special kind of voting as well where you can specify those details of whether it should be featured and given gold status. In addition to all this specialness, there's a different forum set up that you can use here as well as a list of FA that we try to keep updated.

To specify details about whether an article is "gold quality" too, consider every detail. Where the cites come from, the writing style of the article (is it professional/academic/as close as possible to that), does it mention everything, are all sections relevant, are all sections that are relevant/could be relevant included, are there plenty of cites, even basic grammar, etc. Haha, I know, it's a lot! Much of this is rather more relaxed than how I put it too. ;)

News is usually about FA events, paying more attention to a certain discussion, rise in ranks, anything you kind of what to emphasize. You could probably do no wrong with any news you choose to put up there! (lols you could even put up your deputyship, or I can C:)

I think we're on Archive 25?? Maybe I'm insane, haha no worries! (Good thing I really didn't win the lottery right?). I would probably cap it at around 40-50 (no need to be exact though) since we really don't have that long of discussions and the only ubiquitous coding we have is signatures.

Sorry, a lot of writing and information to digest! I rant...a lot...lol. So sorry about that! >.< 07:01, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Re:"
Hi Mapleclaw! First, I'm so sorry about that! I check all the votes every other day so I must've skipped over that one. I'll approve that one right now. Second, Cloudy helped me get the different color time signature, but I'll try my best in relaying it on to you. First, make a page called User:Mapleclaw/Time. On that page, paste color:#243964; font-family:times new roman but change the font and color to anything of your choosing. Then, head on over to your user preferences and in the custom signature box, paste User:Mapleclaw/Sig  and it should show up whenever you do three ~'s, not four. If it doesn't show up, let me know. Lastly, if the vote closes on the 18th, that's when you can approve it. Hope I helped! 02:55 Tue Jan 19

Finally!
Looks like I finally got your request done! =P I'm so sorry it took forever and I hope you like it~ If you want anything changed don't be afraid to tell me^^

Ｒｅ：
I'll get to your thing ASAP^^ To answer your question, I'm more than fine with both so it doesn't really matter xD Normally people who are familiar with Brambleshade calls me Silver, and people who are really close to me call me Bramble. Some just call me whichever they feel like at that time-being so... =P you can go with what you prefer :D

Cites
For example citing Ravenpaw's Farewell with the words "the main article". I've never been quite sure on how to do it. Thanks for the help. Jaysnow (talk) 01:16, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Jaysnow (talk) 01:34, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Also, how do you cite something...for example...Firepaw is the word seen, but linked to Firestar? How do you do that? Is it like Firepaw|Firestar? Jaysnow (talk) 01:40, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

It's still being uncoopeartive. I did a test run with Riley, but it showed the word on the page as Rilepaw|Riley. :/

Thanks Jaysnow (talk) 02:18, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Meow
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!! Sure!! X) -- 23:47, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

Ahh! I see! Okay. Like this? Thank you for telling me ;) Let me think for a moment about what I want. I'm multi-tasking -- editing. 00:45, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Haha, thanks xD Hmm. I'm not sure what my siggie should look like. I'd have to think about it and brainstorm stuff like colors i.e. Also, I'm bingewatching a documentary series so you may not hear from me in the next couple hours... or days... ^^;; 23:22, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I think I know what I want for my siggie. Should I use the form that you gave me on the Survivors wiki? c; 02:54, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Main Word:ReikoMango

Font(s):Times New Roman or Georgian Color(s)

(I can make gradient colors if you want): Gradient colors, mint (or just any green) green to orange

Glow? Italics? Bold? Glow; Bold on the capital letters only

Subtext (option if your main word is more than one word)

Subtext:Fruit that Falls (a goofy attempt at a "tribe name" )

Font(s):Times New Roman or Georgian

Color(s) (I can make gradient colors if you want): Brown?

Glow? Italics? Bold? None

Haha, I have no idea what it will look like. If it looks particularly bad, you can always tweak it yourself. -- 23:03, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! I love it. I may tweak some of the colors, but thank you for doing it. I'll be sure to come to you again if I want a new makeover for it ^^ 23:45, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

nudge
Okay, so this is going to sound a bit strange and random, but you should totally consider filling out one of these in the very near future, if you feel up to it. 8D

Re:
Ugh, I'm really sorry. I've been dealing with a lot of grieving lately.. I'll get that done now. 03:45, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Battle Against BloodClan
Just wanted to tell you now that I actually meant to vote instead of. Probably too late but it was just a habit of mine :P 01:02, February 1, 2016 (UTC)

Nominations
Hi!

I was wondering if you could give me a tip on how to get a nominatiosn box on your user page. I'd like one on mine, but I'm not that good with templates/wiki coding yet. I was wondering if you could help me get one with diferent tabs for the respective projects? Thanks!

Hey Mapes! I'm back. I know, I keep disappearing, but there's been business, swimming, Mom, mostly Mom xD. :D Anyway, I'm trying to brush my teeth everyday, and thank you for reminding me. I was gone for a looooooong time. 02:14, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

I know. I've been waiting to defend my talkpage from random bombs. *Reloads machine gun and boards a huge jetplane* Oh well, it's good to keep this in store. Allons-y! (If you didn't notice, now I am a humongous Doctor Who fan. David Tennant.) 02:22, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you
I would like to thank you for fixing my grievous error! 20:22, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

PW ~ Monster
Hey I just noticed on the talk page you didn't put "Monster ~ Silver Nomination" in "The Votes" so people that didn't see you add it in the recent activity won't be able to find it. Just thought I'd let you know. :3 17:18, February 21, 2016 (UTC)
