Welcome!

Hello, Randomno, and welcome to Wikisimpsons!

Thank you for taking an interest in our wiki. If you have any troubles, feel free to ask questions on any experienced editors' talk page. Also, you could look at a help page.

Here are a few pages to help out new editors such as yourself:

• Help pages, your first stop if you need any help
• Editing help, in case you have questions on how to properly edit articles
• Policy pages - Failure to abide by these will result in consequences.

Please sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your name and the date. Signing your comments is important, as it lets other editors know who has posted which comments.

Again, welcome! Cook879 07:19, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Episode names

Hi, when linking to episode names, we use speech marks either side of them. i.e. "Good Night". This includes in reference tags etc. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 17:11, 27 January 2012 (EST)

Signature

Hi, your signature must actually state your username, it can't just be a blank box. Please read Wikisimpsons:Signature for more details. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:09, 29 January 2012 (EST)

What about an expain template thing? Randomno 13:11, 29 January 2012 (EST)

No, it must state your username without having to hover over anything. Sorry about that. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:11, 29 January 2012 (EST)

Template:Months

Hi, I deleted your template for Months and days. This was something we discussed a while ago and we decided against it in the end. We do, however, have the "On this day" template on the main page which fulfills the same function. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 14:55, 29 January 2012 (EST)

Where's the discussion? When I saw I had a new message, I guessed it was about that. Otherwise, we need more year pages. We include guest stars births and deaths, but only on pages with episodes broadcast back then. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:28, 30 January 2012 (EST)

It was decided at an editor meeting, although I can't remember which one (you'll have to look through the logs at Wikisimpsons:Editor meetings). And we won't be making any more year articles either as that would be kind of pointless. We do have the On this day template that does fulfill the features of the day articles though. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:37, 30 January 2012 (EST)

That doesn't make sense, though. And the on this day template only shows today and is quite complicated for unexperienced users to look through. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:42, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Welcome templates

We use the "welcomeanon" template to welcome IP addresses. -- Mythigator 11:04, 6 February 2012 (EST)

I spoke a bit prematurely. I think I see what you're trying to do (tweak the welcome templates, correct?), but the above is good to keep in mind, regardless. Sorry for any confusion! -- Mythigator 11:07, 6 February 2012 (EST)

I know what to do. I was substituting that as you're supposed to. And I fixed your signature. I have had a live on Wikia, you know (which, yes you do (I hope)). | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:08, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Thanks for the signature fix. I realized I screwed it up, but I didn't have time to do anything about it because I had to get to work. Again, sorry 'bout the misunderstanding with the welcome templates. -- Mythigator 15:12, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

The case was correct the way it was. -- Mythigator 12:55, 18 February 2012 (EST)

I don't know if it is, but I can't find out whether it is or not. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:43, 18 February 2012 (EST)

For episode and story titles, Wikipedia follows the convention I grew up with, which is to capitalize everything except articles, prepositions and conjunctions. With the title of the episode under discussion, Wikipedia capitalizes all of the words because none of them fall under any of those three categories. -- Mythigator 18:32, 18 February 2012 (EST)

☆The Golden Homer Award☆

The Golden Homer Award Congratulations! For your outstanding service to articles you have been awarded the Golden Homer Award for February 2012!

Tapped Out on Wikipedia.

Randomno, I see you have a Wikipedia account. Can you make an article for The Simpsons: Tapped Out on Wikipedia? Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 06:31, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Why would he do that? We are in competition with them you know. The Solar Dragon 06:37, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

PHINBART!!!!! Randomno, don't listen to this nonsense. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 06:40, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, right, hi. We're in competition with them? Anyway, people at Wikipedia don't make that many Simpsons articles, so I think Tapped Out would be in a list of Simpsons games. Still, Solar has an account too, and I don't have the game. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:42, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

And Fred, you conflicted me. :| | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:42, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
