If someone else asked me a question, feel free to answer it if you know the answer. I don't mind people answering questions for me, it just means less work for me to do. :P

Please only use this talk page for discussing matters to do with Wikisimpsons.

Block

Solar, block 184.82.4.142. He vandalised your user page and this page. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:48, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:49, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

There's been a lot of vandalism with the IP saying "I changed my IP address" and so on. What CAN we do about it? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:50, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Check if he uses a similar IP again and range block that. I'm guessing it's still Avengingbandit as it is not a spambot due to gloating about changing his IP address. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:51, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Added Spammers section to Wikisimpsons article. Feel free to remove it. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:54, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Please don't glorify spamdalism, Phinbart... Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:55, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

There is a Vandalism section earlier on in the article. Why was Avengingbandit blocked anyway? PS. EDIT CONFLICT! ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:57, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Avengingbandit was initially blocked because he was vandalising the wiki. He was later blocked infinitely after he requested it. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 15:45, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Two things

Thing one

Can you make Autoyes a bot on Fanon, please.

Thing two

I have worked out a way Brandine could be all those relations to Cletus! If Brandine is Cletus' proper mother, there is no way they can be half-siblings. For half-siblings, one of your parents has to have a child with a another spouse. I made an image to explain better (on the right).

Uh-oh, two Brandines.

It could be that Brandine adopted Cletus, as they do look around the same age. Then, they could be proper siblings, thus having the same parents.

Editor meeting

Read your above comments and read Wikisimpsons talk:Editor meetings#Meeting rearrangement please. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:02, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

I already read my above comments earlier today. And just replied. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:15, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Restore image

Can you please restore File:Tapped Angel Topiary.jpg. I need to check something. Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 16:30, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:32, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Merchandise Award

Can you put on the sitenotice "The Merchandise Award has been revived for a Weekend Special starting today!" I asked Mythigator to do the same thing, but he ignored it. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:22, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Solar! ^ ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:54, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

It's done. When Phin made the request I was sleeping. I do that for a few hours a day, y'know. :-) -- Mythigator 08:58, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Swedish Main Page

Hi, could you fix this: Swedish Main Page? FatHomer^Talk 09:52, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

^FatHomer^Talk 15:39, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh yeah, I had a look at it but had no idea what was causing it to break. It should work so I honestly have no idea why it's not. Sorry, The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:42, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Merchandise Award sitenotice

Can you remove the Merchandise Award notice on the sitenotice and replace it with "The Merchandise Award has been revived for a Weekend Special!" Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:05, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

{{{name}}}

For some reason, "{{{name}}}" appears at the top of The Simpsons Sing the Blues (book). Can you fix this? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:59, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Never mind, Randomno fixed it. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 05:16, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Sitenotice again

Can you put something on the sitenotice about this please. Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:49, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Never mind, asked Cook. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:36, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

You still here?

Wikia battles

Check this out: http://www.facebook.com/AvatarWikia/posts/360656400644375?notif_t=feed_comment Any attempt I can make on highlighting how evil wikia is and trying to get wikis to move away from them. I am also trying to make Wikkii (the only good host now) much better but it's difficult to do since google and wikia have a love affair and its hard to break that. Escyos 00:29, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Wikisimpsons at Google +

I created page for "Svenska Wikisimpsons" at google + https://plus.google.com/113370253851208048807 . You should create a page for Wikisimpsons there. FatHomer^Talk 07:22, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

File:Simpons wiki featured at wikia.png :/ I know we still is a much better wiki. FatHomer^Talk 08:04, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Solar, ^ ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:12, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Meeting

Can you put something on the sitenotice about the meeting tonight? Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:56, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:58, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

How long until the meeting? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 10:00, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

8pm UK time, right? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:01, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

So, around 3 or 4 hours? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 10:02, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

5 hours time, 8PM UK time, yes Phinbart.

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:05, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Wait till it says 3pm on the RecentChanges, and then go on IRC. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:09, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

5 hours! I might fall asleep... --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 10:12, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

15,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have reached 15,000, and according to newest pages, the 15,000th one is Dan Povenmire. But I'm also sad, as nobody else noticed we reached the milestone. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:53, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Everyone was excited about 14,000... why not 15,000? |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:53, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

I noticed and reported it on Twitter. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:56, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

No, the actual 15,000th article is Dean Bauer. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:58, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Actually, it's Ani Martirossians. :P I did double check this time. |

Channel rights

Can you please delete http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/List_of_channel_rights Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:57, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 10:59, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Use a bot

How do you use a bot? I want one on the Swedish Wiki. FatHomer^Talk 06:17, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Read this. The Solar Dragon 06:18, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Thanks! Also, are you going to create a Google + account for wikisimpsons? FatHomer^Talk 06:24, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Ok, I got the bot working. How do I replace a text with another? FatHomer^Talk 06:39, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Create a list of pages (left hand side of AWB) and then use the Find and replace function in the Options tab under the white space.

Downloaded as .jpg, uploaded as .gif

For some strange reason, I downloaded this image File:Do the Bartman promo art.gif as a .jpg file, but would not upload as a .jpg. There was a notice saying "This does not match the mime type (image/gif)" So, after trying twice, I uploaded it as a .gif. Do you know what the problem could be? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:16, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I have no idea. The Solar Dragon 10:18, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I'd ask Jake. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 10:20, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Here's the error.

He said "I have no idea." --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 10:26, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

MediaWiki has a problem with that sort of thing. You can't save a file under a different format from an internet browser and then upload it, to do so you have to open it in a file editing program (even Paint) and save it as the other format first. Escyos 16:55, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

It was on the website already as a .jpg. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 16:58, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
