Help
I was wondering if you could help me with something. On the category "Clanless Cats", somebody typed "Scourge is listed as a rogue click on him and learn what's he's down to the clans and his past...". I do not believe this sentence should be there, correct me if I am wrong though. I tried editing it out, but it would not allow me to edit the page. Why is this?

 * Thank you, take care.

Boxes
Hey... I'm working on my own wiki, and I'm wondering how to put text in a box. I can't find anything on the Help wiki...

How do I put parameters in ? This is for a template on the IPL wiki. The template should be, like, you enter the runs every ball cost, and it prints them, and also prints the total runs. You can find them here. Could you fix it? Lightning talk 12:01, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Releases
Hi Helix and thanks for making those updates. It's very difficult to not be around here for long periods of time but it's good that there are others such as you who are still here making sure everything runs smoothly :) insane  brick'd 00:11, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Project Books - Welcome Back
I can't thank you enough for helping out while I was away and I just wish my internet would work =.= Hopefully I'm going to get it fixed in the next few days *fingers crossed* I'll talk to you soon, have a nice sleep x 19:12, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hello mentor, I don't quite get what an apprentice does for charart. Can I comment on other chararts? Am I asked to do a charart or can I pick one to change or what? I am confused, please help. Thankyou. Justpeachy Lilacfeather 16:59, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou. ☻ Justpeachy Lilacfeather 21:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, I have yet another question. If there is a cat (exzample Dovestar) and he/she was featured as only one rank (leader for dovestar) can you make a charart of that cat as a differant rank? Another question, can you pick any cat you want and change it a little, or only if it needs changes? Thanks Justpeachy Lilacfeather 22:57, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

:D
OK, if you want me to shut up about templates I made, then I will. XD

This one's page name is User:Zorth/Like-or-not.

I used the switch template you had in your tutrial. The full options are (in order):

"No data" is what comes up when someone enters something like "flop".

 * ) Yeah, I geuss so. I can always change the switch. The fist one reflects my opinions, and my "other thoughts" on Silverstream are:

"Hm, I would put her nuetral, but no, she's kinda inbetween."

Echostar's Questions
Hey Helix! Sorry I poofed for awhile there. Here are my latest questions:

1. How do you add a category to a user subpage (Idk how to add it for the edited sig policy)?

2. How long does it normally take for WWiki to be up to date when a new book comes out?

Thanks! Echo star  Getting a tan 23:53, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Q
Whenever I sign these days, the date appears in the next line, instead of appearing in the same one. I've examined other signature subpages, and there seems to be no mistake in mine. It's User:Grayravenpaw/Sig. 12:49, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Merci. 05:50, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hey :D
* Is so freakishly insanely sorry for being inactive* The reason for my inactivity can be seen here ;) Okay, for the couple userboxes, I've got a few more - [ 1 ] BluexOak is in the Forbidden Couples Section; LionxBlue and CrookedxBlue are in the Fan Shippings sections, and BluexThrush is in the ThunderClan section :) Night  Fall 03:09, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

JayxStick is ready :) It's in the Fan Shippings section Night  Fall 02:12, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Rain
Problem with the Weather userbox, rain parameter. Image not showing up. Early congrats on 5,000 btw. 10:29, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Helix, I think you probably know me as I get around a lot. I hope this doesn't sound too weird or creeper. Lol. :) But, I have been meaning to get to know you for a while. I mean you sound like a really great person, and we both seem to contribute to the same kind of stuff. What I'm saying is, I would like to become friends with you. And, I hope I can hear from you soon. :) 00:08, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I love PC and editing charcter articles, it's my passion. I also just recently got nominated as a senior warrior for PC, which I am very excited about. I do edit to some Book and World articles, though Books more than World. Is it okay if I add you as my friend in my "What I think of Other Users" section, since this seems like a great start to a friendship. :) Feel free to do the same as well. Talk to you soon! =) 17:27, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the advice! Also, congrats on 5,000. When did you become leader of Userboxes, I was just curious. :) 16:16, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wait... so you started the project back up? Also, you mentioned becoming friends by working together, and the main thing we have in common is userboxes. Is there some place I can look to see which userboxes need to be worked on? Thanks! 16:37, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that sounds great! I can't wait to start working on the userboxes, it sounds like fun! :) 20:59, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

That would be great! Thanks! =) 18:37, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: References
That's no problem; I'll try and get the rest today. I did see your referencing template actually so I must be about the only person to ever visit the Community Portal XD I have to admit that I forgot about it when referencing yesterday as I'm so used to just getting on with it - I'll have another look and see if I can manage to use it without breaking any windows ;) The coding is strange but I think it's the inclusion of templates to form the bulk of the page which are in some way fixed in place... at any rate I couldn't do much with it (surprising - not) but as you say, Kitsu has stepped in to help. I saw your draft a while back - you really have a talent for the shadowy boxes XD Quote of the Week is an interesting idea but one that I think will have to wait a little; if we can't even get a feature article up on time then how are we going to manage to coordinate a change once a week?! I'm almost tempted to leave the PB FA up until the end of Sept as it has missed just about the whole of August, even if the new page does get put up sometime this week. Which is annoying because it means we miss a month of pushing PB articles towards gold. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, who knows? I can't help but be impatient over the tiny corner of the wiki we call PB <3 Talking of which... reminds me to talk to someone about getting something done about the Poliy reform whether it's to say, yes - update it, or no - leave it at it is. Even if people would rather leave it the way it is I'd love to know so we can get all those new foreign releases and covers put up and save doing it once then having to rename all the files. /ramble This has turned into a loong message; sorry XD xx 08:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Draft
I stick my nose in where other people didn't ask for it all the time ;) Means I can't get irritated when people do the same to me. My work on this started yesterday, when the Mainpage refused to bend to Sandy's will as she worked on integrating in the new feature article box that lets all three items be featured. I'll examine your version and see what I can do to incorporate some of your ideas. Unfortunately we simply can't do the items fully across... Unless... Hmm... I shall think on it. You have some good ideas... I'd just have to see if I could actually do them... Just have to check out the mainpage requirements and see if we can ditch the Wikia controls on columns. And the OCD person in me would insist on evening out box sizes ;) But I can be insane (the mental health issue, not the person). It's been driving me nuts that the Mainpage didn't line up properly.

In an effort to actually explain why 100% width boxes might be a problem... Right now the mainpage is split using column controls that I think might be mandatory by Wiki. If they're mandatory, I simply won't be able to have anything cross all the way over the mainpage. I hope they're not mandatory. I really do like certain aspects of your layout better than mine (though I'm already making it a three column thing, mentally)...

As soon as my draft is done, I'll kick it your way for feedback before I take it to the forum for discussion (I figure I'm probably going to make enough changes that community discussion will be needed). 12:59, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Major progress. I found workarounds for the whole column thing, and a workaround to at least limit the ugliness of the ugly square add. [|Look here]. I'd LOVE to hear what you think of the draft that's somewhere between my original and yours. It is pending some graphics (I've put things in as holding patterns, like "Feature Article" repeated over all three, they'll get their own individual graphics). Any suggestions you have for improvements are welcomed! 15:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikia dosen't actively MAKE us reserve the space. But if we did just a strait column and ignored it, it would kick everything down below the ugly square and then get the sort of ugly you see here. Just ignore the fact that they haven't removed Wikia's chastisement for not using the column tags. At least this way we get some control over how it makes the page ugly. WoT is just lucky enough to have only the banner ad, and not the fugly box. If it wasn't for the stupid box-ad I'd go with a full width header.
 * I went with three boxes to give fair face time to all three features. and to respect the fact that not everyone cares about all the projects. The mainpage caters less to those who know the wiki and more to those who're looking for something and just finding our community. A newbie just wouldn't know to just refresh to get the feature they wanted. It's the same reason I threw out the tabs, really. Well.. That and the tabs stubborn refusal to dock to the top of something and stop looking both ugly and random.
 * for the BR with Clear, it was also mentioned here in regards to a way to break free of the wikia imposed column structure. 16:24, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sig Colors
Hey Helix, I was wondering if there was some place I could go, to show me all the names of colors I could use for siggys and such. Thanks! :) 21:27, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
