Well, it doesn't help that most of the users here are likely not aware of it, perhaps if you made a blog post to announce it, more would no. Having a newsletter would be a good idea (I know Solar at one point had a twitter account that he used for announcements), but that's just a collection of statements about current events, with a few shots at me thrown in. -- Brian McClure 03:17, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, they are multibased. Most people think of you as evil.

TheSimpsons ^Talk 06:41, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

OK, I am refusing to have a say in this as it would probably end up in another argument. Please keep this off my talk page. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:42, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be confrontational, I was just curious as to what he was talking about. -- Brian McClure 16:01, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Another small task

I'll get on it. Does it include subcategories? —Manyman ^(talk) 20:59, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

All done. —Manyman ^(talk) 07:07, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

How do you like my {{Temporary}} template? TheSimpsons ^Talk 07:52, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Why do we need it? There shouldn't be any pages with temporary sections. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:53, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WIKI LEADERBOARD???? TheSimpsons ^Talk 08:27, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

I'm missing 120 points! If this isn't fixed, i'm leaving. TheSimpsons ^Talk 08:37, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Umm, what do you mean what happened to the leaderboard? It looks fine to me. The Lucky edit badges don't work properly if you have multiple so that accounts to 100 of your missing points. I will add up and see if you are missing any more. If you want to leave because you are missing points, then just go. You should edit because you want to, not to get points. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:56, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Don't be a jerk. TheSimpsons ^Talk 09:01, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry but you're the one being a jerk, "If this isn't fixed, i'm leaving." ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:02, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I am going to back out on that one. I am missing 720 points.

TheSimpsons ^Talk 09:08, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

This is just a guess, but it might have something to do with the lucky edit badges. -- Brian McClure 14:01, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Homer's Enemy Category One Time Characters

Yes. I apologize for that. My edits are intended to improve Wikisimpsons' content, not violate it. Frank Grimes, however, only appeared in "Homer's Enemy" and existed only in his tombstones in latter episodes.OhstaWiki 22:39, August 12, 2010 (UTC)OhstaWiki

Well, it is a character category and is not intended for episode pages. I have also noticed that you have been warned for other things too. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:40, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Editing problems

Sometimes the editing interface has problem through not only Wikisimpsons but throughout Wikia. Sometimes, I can't get a sentence left justified as it is middle justified and that sometimes the italic button sometimes does not work and leaves all but the highlighted area to be italic, well, italic and other similar problems. Is this just my computer's fault or this is normal for others?OhstaWiki 15:45, August 13, 2010 (UTC)OhstaWiki

The Rich Text Editor is full of bugs and you can disable this and use the normal 'code' editor (which I currently use) by turning it off in the Editing tab in your preferences. I personally hate it with a passion due to all the bugs and the fact it messed up headers and spaces so... Well, you can turn it off and it is not just you. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:43, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

quotation marks in badges

Using quotation marks in badges (such as "Excellent") causes XHTML errors on pages that display them, such as this:

an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter

…/images/thumb/c/c9/Badge-edit-0.png/40px-Badge-edit-0.png" alt=""Excellent"" />

You could try to use " to display quotation marks instead; if that doesn't work, contact Wikia and ask for a bugfix. --◄mendel► 11:25, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Done. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:46, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Useless Category

The new Category:Bars someone made is pretty much useless because of Category:Bars and Taverns. Is there something that can be done to the page?--TreehouseOfBiscuit 16:21, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

It will be deleted. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:46, 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)

Suggested page name

I'm going to create a (sourced) list of people who have either rejected guest spots on the show, or been cut from an episode, or for other similar reasons didn't appear. It's something I've been collating for a while for Wikipedia, but it would it fit better here (it's fine on individual episode pages on Wikipedia). So do you have a suggestion for what the page should be called? Thanks, Gran2 14:06, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

tricky to think of a way to incorporate them all into a reasonable page name. Axed guest stars? That would be best I guess... But what about those who rejected the opportunity as they weren't axed... Potential guest stars maybe? They are the best I can come up with now, I will have a think about it. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:26, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

I created it under the name Intended guest stars. Gran2 00:48, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

OK, cool. Thanks for making that. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:20, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Reverting

Just to tell you I reverted your edit by accident. I scrolled down the page and clicked by mistake. :) — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 20:32, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Which edit is this? I make lots of edits by the way... :) Anyway, just revert the revert. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:33, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

One of your files edits. I already reverted it. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 20:34, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, OK. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:35, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wikisimpsons links occasionally do not work

Hello, I have another problem. Sometimes, Wikisimpsons' links do not work when I click or even have my cursor on them. It goes back to normal when I refresh the web page. Is this normal or not? OhstaWiki 18:01, August 18, 2010 (UTC)OhstaWiki

What browser do you use? Links always work for me until my Internet stops working as it often does... ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:05, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Google Chrome. OhstaWiki 18:59, August 18, 2010 (UTC)OhstaWiki

OK then, if this continues, I suggest asking on Community Central forums to see if anyone else is having this problem. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:01, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Font color

How do you change the font color on editing pages? OhstaWiki 14:23, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

On editing pages? There isn't a way. There is a way to change the colour on pages when reading it though but only admins can do it unless you add the code to your personal monaco.css ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:26, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Mainpage

Hi. I've been thinking about what The Underfaker said a few weeks ago about the wiki mainpage - it needs a redesign. Things either need to be moved around or the whole thing needs to be cleaned up and redone. That HUGE space underneath the poll doesn't look attractive and is just wasting valuable space. I think we should follow the style of the Muppet Wiki and use their homepage as a template. That homepage is very attractive. And lets face it, the Muppets and the Simpsons are that different - both are long-runnning TV shows, both of HUGE cult fan bases, both have become household names here in the UK and obviously across the pond in the USA. I also like the "Facebook app" that the Muppet Wiki has used on their homepage, its very cool! Anyways, I think your on a long car ride or something (I saw it on a blog post, somewhere) so just get back to me whenever. We could also ask the rest of the community? Effluvium talk contributions email 13:40, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

The thing about Muppet Wiki is that they don't have any featured content or polls etc. We do need a redesign and I thought that TheUnderfaker was going to work on that. Try asking him again or something. Also, the Facebook app is possible although I don't know how to work it properly, see the sandbox. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
