Project Appearances I am not great with the attractive side of wikis and making things look great so I hoped you wouldn't notice. :) The Solar Dragon 06:15, June 28, 2010 (UTC) My Bot Hey, my bot is now inactive due to problems with my laptop and it refusing to work again. If you want to make a bot, I could help you out. It may come in useful. The Solar Dragon 20:23, June 29, 2010 (UTC) If you need one but cannot make one, then I know a couple people who have bots and wouldnt mind using them Kingcjc 20:26, June 29, 2010 (UTC) It is just we should have one at all times to kick into action when needed. I would prefer a main contributor to the wiki to have one rather than an outside user. I did have that job with SolarBot and then Notepad had to screw up. The Solar Dragon 20:40, June 29, 2010 (UTC) I've downloaded all the required stuff, now what? --Smiley12 was here at 05:58, June 30, 2010 (UTC) You have to create a file in the families folder called simpsons.py. You have to open a notepad document, copy and paste the stuff from User:Solar Dragon/Pywikipedia and save it as a .py (just put simpsons.py, that will do it). You then need to open user-config.py in notepad and change things for your username and add simpsons where it is needed into it. If this fails, copy and paste the code into a sub-user page and I will change it for you. The Solar Dragon 07:09, June 30, 2010 (UTC) 1. I downloaded Python from here and Pywikipediabot from here. 2. I clicked "edit this page" on User:Solar Dragon/Pywikipedia, And copied everything there. 3. I Opened a notepad and pasted the stuff saving it as "simpsons.py" 4. What do I do now... "user-config.py" cant be found anywhere... --Smiley12 was here at 22:45, July 4, 2010 (UTC) Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Back in the previous file (out of the families file), it should be there. ☆The Solar Dragon 08:37, July 6, 2010 (UTC) thank you Thank you for the links to help me.I'ill be sure to talk to other editors. thank you very much . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loke96 (talk • contribs) 6 July 2010 No Problem! --Smiley12 was here at 03:36, July 6, 2010 (UTC) Blocked User template Could you make a template saying "this user is blocked infinitely because: Reason" or something? Or, do you think this is a bad idea? ☆The Solar Dragon 21:04, July 7, 2010 (UTC) Yep, I've seen that on some wikis, I'll make it soon --Smiley12 was here at 21:33, July 7, 2010 (UTC) Template:User Blocked --Smiley12 was here at 19:24, July 7, 2010 (UTC) Applied to users up until 2008. Most of the others seem like unacceptable user names etc. On another note, check recent changes. I apparently edited a user page at around 1:00 in the morning UTC even though I did it around 6:00 and I wasn't up at 1. ☆The Solar Dragon 00:24, July 8, 2010 (UTC) was that to User:NNewt84's user page? You apparently added the Blocked User template before I even created it (that wasn't there a few hours ago) --Smiley12 was here at 06:01, July 8, 2010 (UTC) Yeah. Kind of odd. ☆The Solar Dragon 06:32, July 8, 2010 (UTC) Achievements Hi, if you want to customise then, see Special:AchievementsCustomize. I will try to think of good things to call them and good pictures to go in. ☆The Solar Dragon 07:29, July 16, 2010 (UTC) thanks thanx-- - WildMIKE123v5Talk 00:36, July 17, 2010 (UTC) You're welcome! --Smiley12 was here at 00:37, July 17, 2010 (UTC) New user Boxes Hi, since you were making those edits user boxes, how about a 1000 edits (gold) and 5000 edits (platinum). Also, could you make a box saying this user has 1000 points as well please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC) I was going to do that, but just got distracted by the badges. I'll put them on your user page when I'm done, hope you don't mind. --Smiley12 was here at 06:32, July 19, 2010 (UTC) OK. Except I don't have 1000 points yet. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:42, July 19, 2010 (UTC) Project Characters How do you join project characters? I would like to join. TheSimpsons 00:06, July 27, 2010 (UTC) Hey just saying hello and thanks for all the work you have done on this wiki. How do I join Project: Characters?-ToyStoryFan123 —Preceding unsigned comment added by ToyStoryFan123 (talk • contribs) 14:56, August 29, 2010 Just add your name to the list on Wikisimpsons:Project Characters. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC) Semi Protect template Hi, could you make something like "This article is semi protected due to: reason" Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:53, July 28, 2010 (UTC) Do you mean that lock thing in the top right corner, I could make one that looks more Simpsons like, or do you mean one like the cleanup and featured ones. --Smiley12 was here at 07:09, July 29, 2010 (UTC) No, I think an actual template will be more clear to explain why it is locked to stop people coming to me asking why they can't edit it. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:39, July 29, 2010 (UTC) Template:Semiprotected. If you think it's a good idea I will make the featured article, episode, picture template in that format as well, I think it looks better. --Smiley12 was here at 06:09, August 2, 2010 (UTC) Ralph Moments Hi, could you think of any more to add to User:Solar Dragon/Ralph Moments as I would like someone else to help. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:58, July 31, 2010 (UTC) About the temporarily main page layout You could've used that for next April 1st instead, it's like wasting a nuke. *frowny face* Ldude893 15:18, August 1, 2010 (UTC) It's Ralph month though. Featured article, quote and picture are Ralph related. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:21, August 1, 2010 (UTC) I'll let you in on it, April 1st will have something cooler and more suitable for April Fools... --Smiley12 was here at 05:54, August 2, 2010 (UTC) New badges I wanted to create some new badges for edits to production pages, in hopes of encouraging users to start to focus on that field. I tried to make some badges, but I don't have large versions of the border templates. Could you send me those? -- Brian McClure 23:51, August 4, 2010 (UTC) You don't have to worry about that, your picture automatically gets fitted into one of those frames, just make sure that the main part of the picture is in the center since most of the picture gets cropped out automatically. --Smiley12 was here at 06:25, August 5, 2010 (UTC) Well, I'm not an Admin so I don't think I can create badges. So could someone create some badges for edits to location articles?Underfaker 12:23, August 5, 2010 (UTC) Nice job with the customizing --Smiley12 was here at 05:57, August 6, 2010 (UTC) Hey, I've added some quotes ones but I haven't enabled them as I haven't got images yet. If you come up with any ideas, feel free to add them :) Kingcjc 14:23, August 6, 2010 (UTC) I went ahead and added some images. This website is an excellent place for high quality screen shots, so that's where I got the majority of the images. What other categories are there that we could make badges for? References? Real world (well, once more of the templates are in place)? -- Brian McClure 17:18, August 6, 2010 (UTC) I've also added some references badges. Now those were fun to make. -- Brian McClure 17:50, August 6, 2010 (UTC) I suppose since we've got quotes and references, credits, but not sure if they will be as easy to come up with Kingcjc 19:10, August 6, 2010 (UTC) Appearances? top one could be Where's Wally (or whatever it is in America), im sure hes in the simpsons Kingcjc 19:38, August 6, 2010 (UTC) Wikisimpsons:Comprehensive article nominations Hi Smiley, could you make an appropriate template for articles that fall under this and succeed. Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:01, August 10, 2010 (UTC) Yeah, sure. --Smiley12 was here at 06:19, August 11, 2010 (UTC) Proxy Vandal Hi, I think I have managed to range block this guy meaning even using a proxy server won't work. I am not too sure if it is proper though being my first time range blocking someone but it hopefully stopped his vandalism. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:39, August 14, 2010 (UTC) It actually looks like we have had a lot of vandalism from different IPs lately. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:53, August 14, 2010 (UTC) Templates Hi, could you make a user Golden Bart template and the talk page message please? I have a feeling I will be giving it to myself next month though... :) ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 21:39, August 14, 2010 (UTC) done --Smiley12 was here at 22:05, August 14, 2010 (UTC) Achievements Hello, I was wondering how I could have achievements on my wiki. I would like to know how to add achievements to a wiki, I think it would work well on my wiki. Please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. Crampsy Talk 19:29, August 15, 2010 (UTC) Messed up Templates Hey Smiley. It seems that the long box templates mess up the infoboxes. See Behind the Laughter for example. The infobox is moved slightly to the inside of the page. Could you have a look at this please? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:31, August 29, 2010 (UTC) It's fixed now after I removed the image on the right... Hmmmm... Weird. --Smiley12 was here at 05:23, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
