Character Tabs

Seeing as we are both against the idea of the Character Tab System, shall I remove the template from the pages its been inserted on. I'm not sure how Kingcjc will respond, if he'll be happy with the idea or not?, but, shall I go ahead?    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   18:11, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and remove them. Revert the articles back to their last changes as well. ☆The Solar Dragon 20:14, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

OK. Will do! :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   20:16, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well done, ol' boy!

I saw one of your edited pages, and I was impressed! Kepp up the good work. TFwriter 23:58, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I'm trying to boost my points too. Actually, maybe we should have rules on this achievement system. --Smiley12 was here at 03:07, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Putting up some new pages and wondering how to insert the character information window. Is there an easy way to do it? Natron82 04:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Redesigning articles of Guest Stars playing as themselves

For articles of guest stars playing as themselves, do you think it would be better if we separated the real life information of a guest star from the information only appearing in the show? For example, in one section we can put in the real life biography of the guest star while in another section we can put in the guest star's history within the show. Ldude893 16:11, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I would prefer two separate articles, one for the actor, one for the character. we used this style on Futurama Wiki. It should be Name (character) and Name (voice actor). I brought up this before but it was suggested they be put together. Lets ask again though, it will also improve our article count and if we can get good length voice actor pages, that would be great. ☆The Solar Dragon 16:14, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Im happy with this. So similar to what has been done with the Matt Groening article?    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   16:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yes. We need lengthy voice actor pages, including stuff about what they have done outside of Simpsons too. ☆The Solar Dragon 16:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I'll get to work on a few now.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   16:18, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Is Ron Howard (Character) the kind of thing you are looking for. Josegiraffio 18:55, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

antomously voting

I know that we as editirs can vote but can people that dont sign up can they still vote locke97 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Locke97 (talk • contribs) 19:20, July 16, 2010

Of course they can. They should have a say in what they want to see on the main page too. ☆The Solar Dragon 18:32, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

"Buddies" with Simpsons Crazy

Hi. Did you email Simpsons Crazy after about our request to be "buddies" with them? I've seen Smiley's design of the button and it looks great. If we do this, it will open up a world of new editors, hopefully, fingers crossed.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   22:22, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I have emailed them. No reply yet. I emailed them yesterday I think. ☆The Solar Dragon 22:23, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

OK. In the words of Homer Simpson - "Now we play the waiting game." :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   22:26, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Badges

I dont really get them but i need to write here to get a badge so i am —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScarletScarabX (talk • contribs) 08:48, July 17, 2010

You don't need to write here. You want to get the badge. This is actually counted as spamming you know. ☆The Solar Dragon 07:50, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Really then ill ask a real question are you gonna ban me for that? im really sorry for it. ScarletScarabX (Talk) 07:56, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry I didn't know the rule I know for now on. Thanx for letting me know though. User:Coreman7658

Shorts

What is the rule for the Ullman shorts regarding categories? They aren't episodes of The Simpsons, so do they belong in episode-specific categories like Category:Religion-themed episodes? -- Brian McClure 15:43, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I guess that they count so they could go in the categories. What do you think then? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:44, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the two may be about the same characters, but they are quite different in terms of content, themes, staff, etc. As such, they probably don't belong in the categories reserved for episodes of the show, because if we add shorts, why not comics, video games, etc.? Of course, that means that a new series of short-specific categories would be needed, which would just end up complicating things. Still, when one of 48 Ullman shorts has a religious theme (and even then, I'd hardly call "The Pagans" a "religious episode"), is a "Religion-themed shorts" category really necessary? So, I think we should keep the shorts out of the episode categories, but not go crazy creating a bunch of new ones. After all, they are just shorts. -- Brian McClure 15:54, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, you have a point. The shorts are different and there are too few to warrant specific categories. They are not episodes so, don't add the categories to shorts then. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:56, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Another Episode Title Issue

Got another episode with two versions of its title floating around: Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe -- both with and without the comma following "Maya." It looks like Brian McClure just recently made the title change (adding the comma), so he may be in the process of changing the page titles for the episode's other tabs. Before I noticed the discrepancy, I created a References tab with the comma in the episode title, but it can be deleted as there's already a nicely-developed References tab for the "no comma" episode title. -- Mythigator 15:51, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

all sorted. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:57, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Nicely done. -- Mythigator 15:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Season 22

Solar Dragon, it would be great to stop reverting my edits. In my edits, the Treehouse of Horror and Elementary School Musical (which was acting weird) have a clear space. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.238.134 (talk) 17:38, July 18, 2010

I only made it look like the others in the sake of continuity on the page. And, it would be great if you don't talk to me like that. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:41, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

What? I am just suggesting something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.238.134 (talk) 17:51, July 18, 2010

Well, stop reverting my edits. I am keeping community. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:54, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Fine. (It does look odd though) Also, Thanks for fixing the codes 71.178.238.134 17:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Help

Hi, Solar. I've been having a few problems with Adventurecandy820, who is constantly adding photos at the top of articles (messing up the pages), which I have warned him/her not to. I've been very polite and not offered a warning, although I have left her a message. He/she was doing this all through the middle of last night, into the early hours of this morning - I spend most of my night reverting the edits. Please could you block her, as I do not know how? Or how do you suggest I handle this? Sorry, Im kinda inexperienced with being an admin and dealing with vandals. I hope you understand.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   20:22, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Right. Adventurecandy820 has been blocked, however please have a look at my talk page. He/she is using a IP address and has just left my a message. Her IP needs to be blocked too.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   23:08, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it is the same person. They were editing yesterday in a different fashion. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 04:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

how come i have to delete my gallery???

i love to fart! from User:loli424 05:01, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admin & Bureaucrat

Hi. I've been meaning to ask you for a while, but what is the difference between a admin and a crat? And seeing as I'm not a crat, I'd like to know what it is. I thought they were the same? Do they do different things?    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   21:06, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admins can just delete, block, protect and edit MediaWiki and some other things, i.e. badges. Bureaucrats can promote people to rollback, admin and bureaucrat while admins can not. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:08, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, right. OK, thanks Solar! :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   21:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia buttons

Hi, Solar! Sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. Im working on another wiki at the moment and would like to know how to change the colour of the "save page", "preview", "create a new wiki" buttons. I believe you mentioned to me a few months back that there is a generator on wikia central or something? Could you please provide me with the links and tell me how to do it. I know this isn't anything to do with Wikisimpsons, but I'd be grateful for the help :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   18:55, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Just trying to find it now. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:04, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Took a while. I ended up doing random page on Wikia Help as i forgot what it was called. It came up on like the tenth time I pressed it. Anyway, here: Help:ButtonFactory. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:12, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Solar. Hope it didnt take you too long to find the page - don't want to waste your time! Thanks, anyway! :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   19:29, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Took me about 8 minutes. It is allright. I didn't have anything better to do. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:30, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks, man! --Simpsons Fan123 17:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Umm... for what? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:51, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Villains Category

Wasn't the Villains Category supposed to be done away with? There's a U.C. (24.180.91.33) who's putting the category on characters such as Mr. Burns, Mr. Smithers, Sideshow Bob, Russ Cargill, and Lard Lad. And possibly even more while I've been composing this! -- Mythigator 18:21, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I deleted it and protected it from being made again. revert the edits and I will talk to the user. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:25, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I am new here. --Simpsons Fan123 18:31, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

season 23

Someone just created a page for season 23. Do we even need that yet? Bshardy 23:58, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

[1][2][3][4]

Do episode pages count as real world articals?

Do the main pages for episodes count as real world articals? I've noticed that some are in that catagory and some aren't. Bshardy 00:49, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, they do. All episode pages with the episode template should be in the category. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:09, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Background image

Hi. Although I love the overall look of the wiki, my compliments to the chef ;), I feel this image may make it a little more crisper and clearer >>> [5] - it is being used on the Simpsons Channel website, however, Im sure it would look equally as good here. I understand that you probably won't use it, its just I thought it would look nice.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   21:51, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
