You're welcome Gani. ^^ --Nynaeve 15:12, 27 July 2006 (EDT)

Wow, thanks for putting your trust in me. Its great that I have something like this for all the work I've done, even if it's temporary ^^. If I have any specific questions as I go along, I'll give you a shout. Thank you again. --Chrisjander 23:39, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

Is there anything specifically that you want me to help on at the moment? --Chrisjander 09:14, 1 August 2006 (EDT)

:D

Thanks for the link, that is useful. The first entry in the talk on the one I deleted was 5 days old, that's when we're supposed to summarize and decide from the entries whether to keep or delete? --Chrisjander 13:21, 2 August 2006 (EDT) --Drinian 00:05, 7 September 2006 (EDT)---- Heh, yeah, you should check out the other links I have if you don't already go to those sites, they're hilarious. --Chrisjander 12:23, 6 August 2006 (EDT)

Template Talk Armor

Gani - will you please look at Template talk:Armor and comment as soon as you get a chance. I would really love to know your opinion on this change. Thank you!

Wikipedia/Peephole

I couldn't post this on Wikipedia because I'd get in trouble for personal attacks, the user known as Wikipedia:User:Peephole has been deleting tons of articles that I find useful and relevant, I was extremely shocked that your article got deleted, until I went through a bunch of the AfD pages and noticed websites tend to get deleted very easily because they'll just discount any site that links to them as not being "notable" enough. I do feel policy could be reshapped, to include certain sites as authorative sources and not just in-print material, however I doubt that will occur. I reposted your deleted article over on my own Wiki as well as some of the other articles Peephole had or is having deleted:

Show/Hide Test

I really beleive that this isn't the way to go. First off, the coding is very buggy. Even the template that you suggested is buggy. There isn't any reason to add something and/or use coding that might make the page not display properly, or worse cause the entire site to crash. Secondly, I don't think we had a very good discussion about the spoiler tag and the game script postings. I would suggest talking about the problem (if there is even one) before trying to develope a solution. It makes no sense to try to come up with a solution before the problem is identified. --Pinkfae 10:53, 16 August 2006 (EDT)

Cite.php

I know I already posted this request on the forums, and that you said you would try, but I wanted to post it here so that (1) you didn't forget and (2) everyone else could see it. The talk about the Show/Hide code made me think about this. Cite.php is currently used on the main Wikipedia site and is the preferred way to cite information in articles. I wanted this added for the history articles (see Crystal War) so that I can site where all the information comes from easily. That way it looks like factual information rather then just fan fiction. I started to post the cut scenes from missions and quests so that the History of Vana'diel can take more shape and be shown to be factual information. My hope was to link the citations directly to the missions or quests to show the reader where this information come from. We could also use this for information that people think is questionable. Where we can put references at the bottom of the article to show where it came from. --Pinkfae 12:03, 16 August 2006 (EDT)

The article Real Money Trade is using references and could benifit from this. I am sure that there are many other articles that could too. What is the status on this? --Pinkfae 10:36, 6 September 2006 (EDT)

I was just explaining that the RMT article could make use with Cite.php. I think I've seen other articles that used footnotes as well where it could be used. By the way, I do have to agree that the article itself isn't really needed here. --Pinkfae 21:21, 6 September 2006 (EDT)

Jr. Admin

Thank you for making me a Jr. Admin. I have to get used to having all these buttons at the top of my Page >.<' I appreciate the recognition and the trust that this uses. I promise not to abuse the power besides well Protecting my own Guide page from "helpers" even though no one has ever come onto my Guide and changed it like they have the other WHM guides, but just to secure the future of said Guide from said people that might think they know something I don't... I protected it... Hope no one minds =D Anyways, I will try to catch up with you later and we can discuss. Thanks again!! --Nynaeve 20:45, 25 August 2006 (EDT)

Image talk:KogaChainmail.jpg take a look, I'm still confused what happened here. Take a look at the page history too. --Chrisjander 09:14, 26 August 2006 (EDT)

The + --> _plus_ in URL

I wondered why %2B don't work as plus in URL. The new URL convention have already included the sign, the original wiki can handle + to, like in C++ article. I tried all tricks, i know, but the results are either the old space or bad URL. Is it just because we have no subcategory pages or ???. Actually i'm confused that + doesnt work. All those items with plus could be much better handled, instead of writing [[-plus|+]]--Golandra 17:42, 1 September 2006 (EDT)

+ sign the 2nd

Im a bad programmer, but personally i think there is a bug in the media wiki software. I know about the diffrent + usages, but the url convention and also normal wikipages can use it without problem.

But here is a forum topic --> today ^^ (I'm not the poster richardk). Maybe you get an idea or the ultimate solution will be posted: http://forum.modrewrite.com/viewtopic.php?t=1981&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=0c6fdac943a8216ab8d023f911df299e

When the link doesnt work: It's the topic: "Plus sign in MediaWiki URLs" at this modrewrite forum.

I've no idea anymore --Golandra 20:17, 2 September 2006 (EDT)

P.S: at actual wikimedia software + in urls is possible 1. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:URL http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_characters --Golandra 20:40, 2 September 2006 (EDT)

In my opinion the URL decryption/encryption code has got a version conflict of media wiki 1.1 to media wiki 1.4. The + is included as %2b or similar code but is overwritten of the old space sign. Thats why even the brackets link creation doesn't work. I would guess the decryption notation ónly need just an delete of a row or replace of some commands. The media wiki page doesn't mention the bug, because it's too trivial for those programmers and they have corrected it long time ago internaly, but forgot to include it into the downloadable program code. I would just post at their help forum for it and we have the solution within 1 hour. The modrewrite forum was just a failure. Thought there are some people , who know this. --Golandra 05:16, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

-- [1] you are not up to date with your mediawiki. + sign mystery done.

Pulling the Strings/Blackmage

I created a new guide and added it to the Pulling the Strings page, can this also be added to the main Black Mage page?
Also, what needs to be done to correct Disambiguations and Orphaned pages? --Drinian 00:05, 7 September 2006 (EDT)

Opinion

Gani, what is your opinion on Talk:Limit Break Radio? --Nynaeve 17:14, 11 September 2006 (EDT)

Unused pic

Heylo, noticed you had a pic that was in the Unused Files list. What do you want to do with it? --Chrisjander 03:18, 6 November 2006 (EST)

Ah, didn't know if you wanted to reupload it or anything. Consider it delorted. --Chrisjander 18:57, 6 November 2006 (EST)

LOL Oops ><

I was using your page to learn how to make a table and I accidently edited a cell color in your table instead of mine but I changed it back *^_^* Sowwy! --Poof 23:46, 10 November 2006 (EST)

New Image Policy

There is another way around this, but you would have to change the settings of the ffxiclopedia. You can allow external images to be posted rather then internal images. Before you updated the software this was allowed, but the defaults were changed when you installed the update. Look at the history of Splinterspine Grukjuk and you will see where I took out the photo because it was an external image from photobucket. This is what the page use to look like before I removed it, notice that now the image is only a link to where you can see the image rather then the actual image. You can find out how to change the settings here. This might be a good way to lessen the bandwidth of ffxiclopedia and allow users to post images from external sites such as photobucket. --Pinkfae 23:50, 11 November 2006 (EST)

I didn't mean to insult your knowledge of how to use the software. I was just trying to point out another alternative how to go around the problem that you might have overlooked. From what I have read it appeared to me that it was a bandwidth issue. I don't know what you want me to read to further my knowledge on the subject, since you didn't post a link to your said discussion. --Pinkfae 07:50, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Foreign Language articles

Good day,
As you probably know, FFXI will get translated into French and German, I have aquestion concerning that and the FFXIclopedia. Once those translations are available, may we create redirects with the foreign Item-, Quest-, etc-names? Or maybe even create those articles in those languages, so that we would have an article, for example, for honey in each of the three languages linking to each other? It would be greatly appreciated, since there aren't any pages in those languages around, but the interest is there and not everybody understands English.
Sincerely, --Samsara 19:47, 30 December 2006 (EST)
