Re:Adopt a User
I suppose Insaneular and I could try and work out a policy and some guidelines for it, because I've heard that the whole thing crumpled due to poor management. I never had any use for it, cause I was intelligent enough to figure out things for myself... but, some others might need the help, so we can definitely start working on opening it back up. -- Bramble 14:32, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. :) We had someone create it before and I argued that the title wasn't confirmed and the book was only in the most basic planning stages, and we usually only create a book article once we know the name. →  Sky feather  15:51, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Siggy
I feel stupid asking you this, with my being a user here for five months and all, but I created a subpage for my Siggy that I wanted to use, how can I get a code for it and how can I get a shadow on it like yours has? I'm really sorry to bother you about this stuff, but can you help? (Oh, I feel so inferior!) Møųş  ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  14:10, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

LOL, actually, I got it on my own and put it there because I was too lazy to make another conversation. (LOL) But it won't fit in the siggy box, and I made a subpage, but beyond there I am clueless. Help? Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  10:14, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Furled bracken
Can I PLEASE do him??? :) Evanphoto 22:02, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

I felt that we should not portray Furled Bracken or Stone Song as a proper leader because really all there were doing was leading the group. They had no special powers given them or any right to rule, it just happened to be who suited the needs of the group. We didn't do Scourge in leader format for the same reason. So, I'm sorry, but Furled Bracken should not be done as a leader blank. I appreciate the time you might've put into his image, but I feel that it isn't needed. -- Bramble 19:35, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Quote template
Hi, I am working on another (abandoned) wiki, and I was wondering if I could use the quote template, since you made it? I understand completely if you'd rather I don't, just asking =)  i nsaneular The original Hazelnut spread 00:00, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Oh, and I realized, that since I'm on school vacation now, I'll try and meet you on the IRC tonight. I'll either stay up really late or wake up really early, but I'll try and make it for a time that you'll be online :)  i nsaneular The original Hazelnut spread 14:18, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Gah, shame, my vacation ends on monday! Maybe on a weekend sometime then.

Mentor Questions.
Hi,thanks for mentoring me,i was beginning 2 think nobody would choose me! I had a few questions. 1. How long do you have to be an apprentice before you get to be a mentor. 2.How can I contribute more to pages? 3.How can I change the font on my sig?,regards, Clar ris  sa! :)  15:51, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Siggy
I have a question, how do you make a siggy?

WWFW / WFWW?
I saw you renamed Template:WWFWiki user to Template:WFWWiki user... wouldn't the correct version be Template:WFFWiki user (i.e. Warriors Fan Fic Wiki)? Helixtalk 13:26, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Template:User_Info
Hi! I made Template:User_Info, with options for genders as well (although I might remove those later as they only duplicate the Gender template). Check if you like the icons better and want to use them in your template. Helixtalk 20:39, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Family Trees
Hi!

I got the family tree template from wikipedia, and it also has a description there, including how to use it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Familytree

Kind regards, Helixtalk 11:39, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks! I corrected some minor errors. One trick: if you see the rightmost boxes too shrunk or large, pad the previous line (with the pipes) with empty boxes, f.i. instead of.

I can take care of the "complicated" ones later if you wish. Helixtalk 15:07, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I haven't asked any questions for ages, I didn't get enough time :( anyway, I've had this siggy for ages, so I really would like to change it. I'd like to find out how to change the font of my current siggie. I'll go on the irc. I know it sounds stupid, but i'm not sure what my timezone is. :P I live in the u.k, if that helps.

Siggie Request
Hi Grayravenpaw! I was hoping you could make me a siggie, cuz mine isn't that good. Could it be rainbow letters saying Sunspirit, and then in smaller letters at the top "Gotta Love Newleaf!" Thanks So Much, :Sun spirit  ☮ 05:38, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Thanks!
1 word, 3 syllables. Brill-i-ant! Thank you so much for the siggie, your brilliant. They should make a project called Signature making. You would probably be leader, and insane your deputy. Thank-you again!!

P.S: Your signature Is cool xD

Hiya mind making me one?? Thanks!!

Can you, A black background with my user name "Dawnleaf" on it, but have Dawnleaf in two diffrent colours... like allterate between the colours: Aqua, and pink.

Userbox request
Hi! For the languages template can you add HU (Hungarian) and RO (Romanian)? It's enough to add HU-Native and RO-3 (I don't think other users but me need it). :)

For the Support / Hate templates, I thought about merging them. So we don't have to update and sync both when e.g. an image is changed or a character inserted. Code could be something like for support and  for dislike.

Kind regards, Helixtalk 18:05, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Gray, many thanks for your assistance with the userboxes, they work perfectly. Also, I saw you mentioning me on your user page; I am honored. Helixtalk 19:06, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

b-!
Regarding your question, the b-! template is helping to sort the books in chronological order (and other fields in a certain order). By default, the table can only sort in alphabetical order, for instance:
 * Eclipse
 * Long Shadows
 * Outcast

Now, I wish to sort these in chronological order, so I must match the alphabetical order with it. For instance, I write:
 * 1Outcast
 * 2Eclipse
 * 3Long Shadows

The numbers do the trick, but look ugly to the user, so I will hide them:
 * 1 Outcast
 * 2 Eclipse
 * 3 Long Shadows

The user will not see the numbers, but the table will still "see" them and make the sorting accordingly. To avoid writing much code, I created the b-! template that contains , so the code will be:
 * Outcast
 * Eclipse
 * Long Shadows

Same for the other columns. I sorted also the Series by numbers (e.g. the Original series is first when sorting), and the authors as well (e.g. when sorting by authors, Vicky is listed first, even if the name begins with V).

Hope it makes sense; if you need more help, just ask. Kind regards, Helixtalk 19:06, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Music
Hi! Regarding the Music userbox, I would say it is an overkill to put every band in a list. I suggest simply using:
 * This user listens to 

Same with the Style and the others. Of course, it's your choice. Kind regards, Helixtalk 11:20, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Article inclusion
I'm thinking of expanding the Great Journey to silver (umm... don't expect it soon, but it is on my to-do list), and wondering if it would belong to Books or World (or both)? Currently it is in World, but according to the descriptions of the Project Missions, it would rather go in Books. I guess I'd ask the project leaders before moving it though (this also goes to Sandstar). :)  Helix talk 19:13, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Silver Grade Articles
Hi Gray, I saw you concluded the silver votes for The Great Sycamore and Cat Names, however the grade was not updated on the article talk pages. I have updated them now myself, hope you don't mind. I also proposed two new World articles for silver. Kind regards,  Helix talk 13:33, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Spam Protection
Hey! I haven't got to know you very well and would like to. I have a question, how do you protect pages from vandalisim? Do you have to be a member of the staff or can a regular user protect it? I was wondering because the last two times I wanted a pagr protected I had to talk to Insaneular but, I thought if I knew how I wouldn't have to ask. Thanks! Whitestorm17 20:27, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that's what I assumed but I wasn't sure. Thanks! :) Whitestorm17 13:48, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

support-pair
Hi Gray. The idea is something like this:

So, your approach was correct; you just forgot the arguments for the support-pair/check right after the ifeq.

Check here my idea of the layout. I suggest a fixed color for the background to avoid overcomplicating it; and the background of the image will be white for support and black for dislike.

Kind regards, <span style="background-color: #705EA0; -moz-border-radius: 12px 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 12px 4px; padding: 1px 5px 0px 5px;"> Helix talk 19:18, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Edit
Hi, I saw your edit to the support-pair template, but did not quite understand. Do you wish me to restore the old "user-coloured" version, or is it OK like this?

In any case, I checked both and  in the code in order to work with the "old" input as well. If you remove, we must change the code on all userpages that currently use the template.

 * No problem. :) I admit the code is quite ugly and undocumented, but this was the only option to avoid changing all users' pages. <span style="background-color: #705EA0; -moz-border-radius: 12px 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 12px 4px; padding: 1px 5px 0px 5px;"> Helix talk 11:21, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Language Template
Hi Gray. I edited a bit the Language template, making it select the colours a single time, instead of adding switches to select them for each languages. Hope it's OK with you. :) <span style="background-color: #705EA0; -moz-border-radius: 12px 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 12px 4px; padding: 1px 5px 0px 5px;"> Helix talk 18:57, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re:PB, PW
Actually, we've already got a layout sorted out (we were discussing it on PB talk). It will be something like this. So whenever the featured articles for each project are ready, we'll change the coding of Feature to that, and each project wil store their feature article 'blurb' text on a project subpage: for World, it will be Warriors Wiki:World/FA. insane brick'd 10:58, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Also, as you might have noticed, I'm a bit busier than I'd like these days, so would you mind taking care of the featured article for PC?
