"loll" and "led" in The Simpsons Movie/Transcript

The transcript page was full of "loll" where it should have been "I'll" and "led" where it should have been "I'd". Can you think of any more words where this could have happened? | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:20, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

It seemed to happen here. While a few of the "LF" was changed to "IF" (in lowercase ofc), the I'ds and I'lls became leds and lolls... Those are some weird changes. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:25, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
Best way to fix it would be to copy and paste into Notepad and use the find and replace function. Not sure if what Cook did was something like that, except something went wrong. It could well have been. The Solar Dragon 09:32, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
Yeah, I've done that for the two I know of, but it's a bit tricky to not make mistakes when you're editing a 50k-word page. Words like "pulled" should actually have the "led". | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:37, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

ComicTabC

The template makes my sidebar go down a size and move inside the main content area. It first happened after this edit. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:15, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Everything's fine to me. Which skin are you using? The Solar Dragon 17:29, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
Vector. MonoBook also gets this happening to it. (The links are previews of the skins on the ComicTabC page). | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:38, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
Think I fixed it. Although Monobook still looks a bit off... The Solar Dragon 17:51, August 22, 2014 (EDT)
Yeah, the sidebar on MonoBook is getting pushed below the content area. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:00, August 22, 2014 (EDT)

Cool Brown House

Hey, is your Cool Brown House dispensing every 5 minutes instead of four hours? Some IP commented on this on the Clash of Clones event talk page. ~ Phinbart (talkcontribs) 05:14, August 24, 2014 (EDT)

Yes. 6 Cash, 1XP every 5 mins now. The Solar Dragon 05:51, August 24, 2014 (EDT)

Just saying

You've made 1/3 more edits than your bot... | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:47, August 25, 2014 (EDT)

And your point is? The Solar Dragon 13:09, August 25, 2014 (EDT)
That you have. ;) | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:06, August 25, 2014 (EDT)

Featured Article Link

The featured article on the main page is currently the Screamapillar, but it (the image) actually links to the Alice Glick article. Maybe that was the previous feature? Lustomatical (talk) 17:09, August 26, 2014 (EDT)

Fixed. Alice Glick was July's article, yes. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:17, August 26, 2014 (EDT)
That was my fault. When I changed the Featured Content last month, I forgot to change the links on the pictures. But now is fixed! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 13:03, August 27, 2014 (EDT)

ShoutWiki loading

Is ShoutWiki currently loading for you? Can't get it to do anything for me... | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:08, August 27, 2014 (EDT)

Well it finally loaded, but it took several minutes to load just the Main Page. Pretty sure that's a long time. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:11, August 27, 2014 (EDT)

Barbarian Homer

Hey, would you be able to grab the pic of the notice when Barbarian Homer levelled up to 10? My device powered off and couldn't get the photo. Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talkcontribs) 04:55, August 29, 2014 (EDT)

I would do, but I can't. Mine's already Level 13. The Solar Dragon 05:01, August 29, 2014 (EDT)

Tapped Out

You have the game files, right? I remember PMing Outerhaven on the Tapped Out forum months ago and he said you had the game files. ~ Phinbart (talkcontribs) 06:43, August 30, 2014 (EDT)

I'm sorry, I can't access them any more. I used my iPod to get into the files but my iPod was a pain in the ass, so I ended up getting rid of it. I no longer have access to the files. The Solar Dragon 08:38, August 30, 2014 (EDT)
Do you think you could help out by adding some level info to the table here? With the rate I'm going about collecting gold, I don't think I'm gonna get far with levelling up my costumes. ~ Phinbart (talkcontribs) 11:00, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

It wasn't a screenshot

It was a PNG copy of the promo, so basically exactly the same image. Keep it JPEG if you want to though... | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:35, August 30, 2014 (EDT)

Simpsons World the Ultimate Episode Guide: Seasons 1-20

Why is it interesting information that a character appears in this book? After all it is harder to find someone who is not mentioned in it. --2F13 (talk) 07:49, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

Well, I've only listed appearances for characters who appeared as a factfile in the book. I don't do it if they just appear in a picture of quote. The Solar Dragon 09:02, August 31, 2014 (EDT)
Eeerr... Steve Mobbs (page 973) has a reference to the book in Appearances section but Muk Mu on the next page has not. I don't understand the principle yet. :-) --2F13 (talk) 13:16, August 31, 2014 (EDT)
Muk Mu should do, we just haven't gotten around to it yet. Not all factfile characters have the book as an appearance yet. The Solar Dragon 13:18, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

Wikisimpsons Answers Spam Users

Hi Solar! When a registered Spam Account puts spam comments or spam questions in Wikisimpsons Answers, should we block it from here(from Wikisimpsons site)?? And if so, should we add a Block Reason like "Spam in Wikisimpsons Answers" ?? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 11:55, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

Yes, block here. It also blocks on Answers. And just putting the usual spam notice will be fine. The Solar Dragon 12:23, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

Candidates for speedy deletion

Aside from the regular deletion category, you might want to check out this category too. Maybe run your bot to delete files from this category too every now and then. Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 14:47, August 31, 2014 (EDT)

IDK what's wrong with it.

Took a bit of trial and error, but I think I got it. The Solar Dragon 11:39, September 3, 2014 (EDT)

I can't edit semi-protected pages =(

Hi Solar! I was going to edit the Robin Williams article, adding the section "Behind the Laughter", because he died in real life. But it turned out that article is semi-protected and i can't edit the semi-protected pages like before. Those 3 months of blockade were brought me terrible consequences. Would you give me the trusted rights again?. Greetings! --Barthony70099 Eat my shorts! Ay Caramba! 15:37, September 6, 2014 (EDT)

Why on earth did Myth set an article like that to only-admins after one false edit...? | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:59, September 6, 2014 (EDT)
He probably did it just to prevent from more false edits. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 16:42, September 6, 2014 (EDT)
When a celebrity dies, people often change the character status to deceased, even when the character wasn't mentioned to have been dead in the episode. Therefore, it's common practice to protect it, usually after the first bad edit. The Solar Dragon 17:12, September 6, 2014 (EDT)
This was what was going to add to Article

== Behind the Laughter ==<br/>Robin Williams died in real life on August 11, [[2014]], due to a because he committed suicide at age 63. --Barthony70099 Eat my shorts! Ay Caramba! 17:22, September 6, 2014 (EDT)

Yes, but it says he's set the lock to sysop. Doesn't seem to be since I can edit it, but that's what it says he put it as. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:39, September 6, 2014 (EDT)
The day Williams died, I set the article to semi-protected status, and two minutes after that some schmuck changed the status of the Williams character from Alive to Deceased. So I ramped the protection up to Sysop to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harry IP from mucking it up again. -- Mythigator (talk) 20:00, September 6, 2014 (EDT)

More The Simpsons Guy promo pics

Hi Solar, in FoxFlash there are new promo pics for The Simpsons Guy (In Family Guy's Season 12 Gallery). / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 04:17, September 9, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks Loco. I'll upload them ASAP but I have to go soon so I'll let you sort out licensing, adding them to the page etc. The Solar Dragon 05:00, September 9, 2014 (EDT)

Male Cast template

Hey Solar! I've seen that in some pages you (your bot) changed gender= Male/Female to gender= {{Male/Female cast)) instead of gender= {{Male/Female cast}}. You should use your bot to fix those pages. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 19:56, September 12, 2014 (EDT)
Hi again Solar! First of all, it was only with the Male Cast template the Female Cast was OK. Secondly, I'm fixing it with AutoWikiBrowser, so you don't have to worry about this. And Finally, I want to Apologize to You and the whole wiki for having flooded RecentChanges. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 20:38, September 12, 2014 (EDT)
Hi Another time Solar! I've used AWB to change {{Male cast)) to {{Male cast}}, but I haven't changed it on all of the pages with that mistake. There still are some pages that need that to be changed. Could you finish this with your Bot so I don't flood more the Recent Changes page. Thanks, Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 21:38, September 12, 2014 (EDT)
if you create a bot account, like by SolarBot account, I can give that bot privileges so it doesn't flood recent changes. Make sure you preview the first few edits before you set to auto save. And thanks for pointing out the bracket thing, I'm not really sure why I didn't pick up on that at first. The Solar Dragon 15:47, September 13, 2014 (EDT)
Ya need BracketBot. :p | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 16:14, September 13, 2014 (EDT)

Unwanted categories I accidentally added to some pages

Hey Solar! Could you use your Bot to remove some categories I accidentally added to some pages with AWB. The categories are Category:Living People and Category:19xx Births. Thanks Solar! I would do it myself with AWB but I don't want to flood Recent Changes. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 15:28, September 13, 2014 (EDT)

Okay, I'm on it. Removing the birth categories is going to be harder as I have to remove each individually though. Plus, removing them is easier with Pywikipediabot. So I'm using that instead. Make sure you have the general changes box unticked in future. That's the one that adds the categories. The Solar Dragon 15:43, September 13, 2014 (EDT)
