New table

The new table don't work in the comics, as you did. If the screen size is not enough large, is the table under the infobox. /AleWi 00:58, 30 January 2012 (EST)

It doesn't work with your comic template, no. Which is why we have to replace the comic template with the normal code. Plus, you can just change the width of the table with {{Table|width=74%| or something similar. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 01:15, 30 January 2012 (EST)

So the idea behind this new table is that it will allow us to change all of the tables at once through the template in the future? If so, that's a great idea! --Ja ke 21:54, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Yes, it also has a fairly unique style and looks good. I'm also adding in other features, such as the width change and the option to make the table sortable and eventually collapsible if I can get it to work. The Solar Dragon 01:47, 31 January 2012 (EST)

Images

Hi, I think we should add which episode, comic... every image is taken from. FatHomer^Talk 11:13, 31 January 2012 (EST)

This would take AGES though, wouldn't it? |

Yeah, and I don't really see the benefits. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:10, 31 January 2012 (EST)

Sometimes I want to know where the image comes from. We don't need to put it on all the images, but I think we should add a rule or something that says that you should add where it comes from. And then over time you could add information to the existing images. FatHomer^Talk 15:02, 31 January 2012 (EST)

I've been doing that all along to images as I've uploaded them, as it just struck me as being the right thing to do in the interest of attributing the source properly. It would be a monster of a job to do that to every image on the wiki, though, so as long as they've all got the proper licencing information (which is something that we CAN easily check on an ongoing basis), I don't think it's anything worth developing a case of knotty knickers over. -- Mythigator 19:02, 31 January 2012 (EST)

It has what links to this file so that should probably help you find the page. Hopefully it will have a sensible name so you know what the page is straight away. |

FaceWikiaBook

See the new "feature" thay are going to bring in They're trying to facebookerise their site to help, too bad its gonna fail. Escyos 21:05, 1 February 2012 (EST)

Removed the link as I really don't like having Wikia links around. Also, I heard about that ages ago and I thought that they had already implemented it :S ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 04:28, 2 February 2012 (EST)

I'm entirely convinced they have all lost it over there. One day soon (hopefully) it will cease being a wiki host and kind of segue into a social network. Escyos 01:25, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Bronze Homer

Last month, you did it to mee, this month to Nick97, the loser of the Silver Homer gets the Bronze Homer, two people can not have the Bronze Homer. /AleWi 04:50, 2 February 2012 (EST)

Oh god, I did it again >_>

File deletions?

Hi Solar! I was wondering when deleting files do I nominate it for deletion, or ask an admin (or whatever) to delete it for me? Anyway would you please delete: File:50 Cent real life.jpg, File:Best varney.jpg, and File:Sara-gilbert-001.jpg, as I created better versions. Thank you. --Fred (Talk) 02:14, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Well, as long as a file isn't used elsewhere, I will delete it within a couple of days anyway as I check the unused files often and delete what I deem unnecessary. Otherwise, you can always place Template:Speedy Delete on pages that don't need discussion to be deleted.

Thanks. --Fred (Talk) 04:05, 3 February 2012 (EST)

New table on Seasons?

Hi,

How do I add the new table to for example Season 6, because it has text between each episode. FatHomer^Talk 14:15, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Do it normally up until that text. Then, simply Type {{TableColspan|Text|7 (or how many columns there are)}} and carry on. See Season 23 for an example. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:17, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Thank you! FatHomer^Talk 16:35, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Does the table under the section "DVD Release" on season 6 need the new table? FatHomer^Talk 04:57, 4 February 2012 (EST)

Also if I want to create a table that looks like this (look at the code to understand):

Is there any way to get those summaries to be left-aligned instead of centered? -- Mythigator 14:14, 4 February 2012 (EST)

@FatHomer, yes it does. I will do it at some time (laptop unable to connect to Internet, on desktop which I can't get much time on, nor is it that practical for this sort of editing. @Mythigator, I'm on it. It will be a parameter called "align=Left/RIght/Center". The Solar Dragon 17:36, 4 February 2012 (EST)

Blue Flannel Pants promo

Hi, I thought that image might now be The Man in the Blue Flannel Pants, but I found it a while ago on the web. It could be a promo, though, as it has Homer looking quite proud and the kids very happy, like the storyline. Anyway, I don't know if it is or not, but I did see it in a video long before the airdate. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:09, 7 February 2012 (EST)

I've watched the episode a few times now and that scene was never in it. FOX released various pictures like that but they're promos for The Simpsons itself and not the episode. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:16, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Randomno Admin

Shouldn't Randomno be promoted to an Admin? FatHomer^Talk 16:11, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Being an admin on Simpsons Wikia does not mean you get admin rights here too. If he wants to regain his admin status, he has to work hard and eventually place an admin request like everyone else. However, at the moment, we don't really have a need for admins. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:13, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Ok. FatHomer^Talk 16:27, 7 February 2012 (EST)

The idea was that the admins moving got admin rights here after a while, but the moves sort of crumbled away a bit. I haven't really needed admin status yet, as I can either use a bot or use the delete template. Also, I have worked quite hard as I've been here since January 22, 2012, and made 800 and-a-bit edits. Phinbart has 1,500 and been here since November 19, 2010. DaRanger has been here since August 20, 2011 and made 400 edits. If not admin status, I think I should get a Homer award. :-) |

If you keep working this way, you will most likely get a Homer award this month. :) Glad you're fine with not having admin status at the moment though. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:44, 8 February 2012 (EST)

I'll be the first to say it...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALLUM! A particularly special one ;) you should add it to the sitenotice! You are, after all, the head of Wikisimpsons. --wk (talk) 01:06, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Thank you. I'm not drawing too much attention to myself today though :P ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 03:20, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Ringo Starr image

I hate to be a pain, especially on your birthday, but I don't known what the hell I did on Ringo Starr image. I don't think I should rename files any time soon. Sorry about this. --Fred (Talk) 01:25, 10 February 2012 (EST)

You just didn't suppress the redirect then. And it's not pain, I don't mind. :) The Solar Dragon 04:30, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Cool, thanks. Also, I'm sorry I forgot, especially if its not a pain. --Fred (Talk) 01:54, 10 February 2012 (EST)
