Time limit on Tweak Nominations
I've noticed how some tweak/redo nominations will stay up for a week (or more) without getting their three yay or nay votes. That's really not fair to the nominator having to wait that long for their nomination to be approved - especially when it's missing like one vote. I think that maybe after a certain time period, say 3 days, whichever vote at the time has a majority should be the automatic decision. So it would go on the list if the majority were yay votes. And if they're tied I guess it could just default either way, so long as all tied nominations would default the same way. It'll just keep those nominations from sitting there and the nominator from having to wait so long to know whether they can work on it or not. Breeze whisker  04:54, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

I think this might work. It would stop nominations from sitting there. 06:37, 17, 05, 2012

I agree with this...but the only question is for those that tie. I'd say look at the comments, if any, and that could determine if, but, for now, I think that they should just be approved and be done with it, or, if they really want the image to be redone, they can re-nominate it.

Have we come to a conclusion on this? 09:23, 06, 06, 2012

I believe that is fair enough. For if they tie, I say we just wait 24 more hours, then archive it/decline it. 20:06, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think we should just decline the nomination when it's defalt, and they could just renominate it necessary. 06:01, 12, 06, 2012

I agree with the declining it automatically, but how long should the wait be before the votes are tallied? Breeze whisker  15:20, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking two or three days, but it could be more or less. Breeze whisker  15:21, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think 3 days/72hrs is good enough as a time. 05:51, 15, 06, 2012

Alright, that doesn't seem too long, so I agree. 19:03, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Have we come to a conclusion on this? 17:09, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

We Have an Issue
So, as some people have seen in the approved tweak nomination archive, the page has exceeded the template limit. What this means is: the page has too many s, s, s and signature templates, and thus the templates are showing up as redlinks. So we need another way to archive tweak nominations without using one page. We could just use more than one page, but should it be a forum or just a regular page? Since the archive isn't really being discussed on, it probably shouldn't be a forum, but that's just my opinion. 23:00, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but it takes my computer about a year to load that page simply because there's so much on it. 23:02, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't I say to use a subpage when we started this whole ordeal? I think we should just move the entire thing to a subpage for PCA and be done with it.

I'm no coding expert (never have been, never will be), but maybe instead of using the yay and nay templates, just go:


 * Yes/No. Reason why or why note if needed/wanted. ~.

I'd rather not use a second/multiple pages because of the space it could build up to. Or we could just keep a record of who/which chararts were redone, how many times, for what reasons with dates. I dunno, Scarlet's having a slow day 23:09, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Scarlet on the yes/no rather than the vote yay and nay templates. That way, the number of templates on the page will go down. 01:06, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

But there's still the issue of long loading times. The PCA images page (a page with every single approved image) was deleted because of this problem. 01:07, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Whatever you decide to do, I think it would be nice get rid of those, not sure what they're call, drop down menus(?), also. They tend to make my computer stop responding while it tries to open one, even the current, and therefore smallest, one. I'm not sure what else would work, though. ^^; Breeze  whisker  01:12, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Then maybe we should use subpages, and possibly have a limit to how many drop-menus are on a page. 01:17, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Subpages was my opinion in the first place, so I still agree with that. Maybe 3-5 drop down archives per page, since we're up to the sixth archive now. (I don't have much problems these days o3o) I think the only thing with that Breezy is that we'd have to make an archive for each drop down. I'd personaly like to keep the voteyay and nay voting (probably because I've gotten used to it) but if it saves a lot heap of trouble, then I'm fine with just doing what Scarlet mentioned above. :) 01:49, 11, 06, 2012

I'm all for subpages, the current archive takes forever to load, and the yes/no thing would get confusing, let's just make some subpages and be done with it. 23:55, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Subpages sound pretty good to me, and as for dropboxes - a limit of about 5 is good. The templates gave up after the 5th dropdown. And since most people are used to the voteyay/votenay voting, this wouldn't make them need to suddenly change what they're using. However, if we come to a conclusion on it, the yes/no thing would work as well. 06:15, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Tweak Nominations: I am going to sound like a total idiot...
Alright, as you all know, right now I am the sole overseer of the Tweak Nominations page, and I'm supposed to nominate someone to help me. This is going to sound so horrible, I know, but I haven't been active enough to know who would be the right person for the job to help me. There are so many new people, and it's hard for me to keep track, and I don't even know who would want the position. I know this is unorthodox, but members that are eligible and would like this position, let me know and I'll make my decision. This way, it'll be a lot easier to pick the right person who is interested. Thanks, and again, please don't brick me for not just picking someone XD  15:15, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

We respect your desicion Ibly, not everyone can do their jobs. :) I could probably do this, but if the featured charart vote passes, since I'm one of the users in charge of that, I'll strike my interest for fairness. :) 06:29, 15, 06, 2012

I'm interested owo I can do this but it's your choice. 06:38 Fri Jun 15

Don't want to sound too greedy or something, but I would like to try this out. '^^  20:06, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

I know I'm the new SW, but if I am allowed, I too would like to try this out. 20:24, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Man, now I'm not sure who I should choose...you'd all be good choices  15:31, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Gorsepaw
I was lurking Gorsepaw's page when something occured to me. I think he's been described as brown once, and ginger and white once. Don't we usually go with first description? owo

If I'm wrong I'm sorry and also if this belongs somewhere else :S  Skt Spoilers... 11:00, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Wasn't he described as ginger and white first? <span style="border: 3px double #540C13;padding-top:8px;-moz-box-shadow: #00132E 5px 8px 8px; -webkit-box-shadow: #00132E 2px 3px 5px;background-image:-webkit-repeating-radial-gradient(ellipse,#FF8E2B 10%,#D44700 20%,#750C00 40%);background:-moz-repeating-radial-gradient(ellipse,#FF8E2B 10%,#D44700 20%,#750C00 40%);background-image:-o-repeating-radial-gradient(ellipse,#FF8E2B 10%,#D44700 20%,#750C00 40%);background:-ms-repeating-radial-gradient(ellipse,#FF8E2B 10%,#D44700 20%,#750C00 40%));border-top-left-radius:85px 40px;border-bottom-left-radius:85px 40px;border-top-right-radius:85px 40px;border-bottom-right-radius:85px 40px;">   j  a  c  k       never let go,    diane ❤   00:30, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

I thought that the ginger-and-white description came first, too...owo 14:04, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

When was he actually described as ginger and white? I know he is, just if it cane before the brown. owo Skt Spoilers... 14:06, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this discussion is for PC to decide. owo 17:11, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thunder
Alright, so I was reading Secrets of the Clans and on page 4, where it is discussing the History of the Clans, it said that Thunder was a fiery orange tom. But instead of going with his first description, we went with the one on page 22, with the color of autumn leaves. I believe his images should be tweaked to look more bright/orangish, since we usually go with the first description. 21:10, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

I agree. The autumn leaves one can just be made an alt, or they can be tweaked. 23:56, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Good point, I think we should do that. 06:13, 20, 06, 2012

(butts in) Guys, how different do you consider the color of autumn leaves and fiery ginger to be? They're both just vivid ginger. I see no need to make a change to anything but Thunder's description.

Fiery ginger cat. Autumn leaves.

Seriously. 15:35, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly, Shelly. 15:40, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

In fact, I've changed his description to include both fiery ginger and the colour of autumn leaves. They can be listed together, "fiery ginger" being rather vague and "the color of autumn leaves" being more descriptive. It's that simple.

And in the future, conversations like this need to go to PC. PCA deals in chararts, not article content. 17:29, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thanks Shelly. I just thought that since it had to do with the description, it would go with PCA. But I'll make sure that if I have anymore concerns about them, I'll go to PC. ^^  20:11, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Mudclaw
I noticed in Rising Storm, Mudclaw is called a mottled dark brown tabby tom and got an alt. for that. But is it possible that he is a tabby? I mean, the only thing different about the alt and his regular description (in the books) is that he is called a tabby. 15:18, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Take this to PC. 17:07, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Planned and Hosted Join.me Events
Kay so I was talking it over with some others and we were thinking about creating planned join.me events. These will be events on join me to help multiple people on broad topics. I have created a table system and some guidelines to plan the events.


 * Only four events on the table at once. Only mentors are allowed to host join.me events. More than one of the same event can be hosted as sometimes people might not be able to attend the event. All times on the table must be in the wiki clock time. Please plan your event less than a week before it occurs in order to not take up space on the table but sooner than the day before so that people are a where that the event is occurring.
 * Anyone who wishes to participate in the event must ask for a link to the host's join.me via chat personal message and they must use their wiki username at their viewer name on join.me. To change your name, click participants button and click on the orange name, then change Viewer(whatever number you are) to your username. Proper conduct must be held during the event. Hosts have the right to refuse to give a link to their join.me and to kick people out of the event. If something comes up, hosts have the right to terminate the event as it is taking place. To download join.me click here.
