Simpsons Fanon wiki
May I enquire why we're linked to the Simpsons Fanon wiki? I mean, sure it could possibly be a way to attract editors and sure it's a Simpsons related wiki, but it's not that "mature" of a wiki in terms of size, organization and content. Just saying. Ldude893 12:33, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- I feel that we should have a network of Simpsons wikis. I have another two planned, a Simpsons news wiki and an UnSimpsons wiki. See Blog:A Simpsons network of wikis. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:33, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Simpsons Comics characters
I was considering creating articles for Herb Barnstable and Skip Tarrington, but as far as I know they've only appeared in one comic. Should I create two articles for them, or is that overkill? Manga Maniac 12:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- Each character should get its own article, even if it has appeared in one comic. Make one each. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikia is a sh*t hole
I read your earlier message and found out you called Wikia a sh*thole. Finally someone knows! I F**CKInG HATE WIKIA for doing this!! I've also moved my wiki to here. Their Oasis is lame. I respect you for leaving Wikia. --Knightrez(Talk) 11:09, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Whoa! I read your last message before you were blocked on Wikia. What the F*CK are these people!! They talk to you like 3 year old babies even after you show them your true colors!!It's like they've been babies their whole lives and they've never delt with the world!! It's pretty sad and pathetic Wikia global blocked you. Ive known you on Wikia before. --Knightrez(Talk) 11:27, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Good to see another wiki has bitten the dust at Wikia. Have you added it on the Anti-Wikia Alliance yet? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Do wikia edits count?
Just wondering whether wikia edits count for getting awards and stuff because I've got about 150 edits including the wikia ones. Doh5678
- There has been a glitch with edit count. Wikia edits do count. Check your preferences for the true edit count you have. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Spotlight Image
I've been wanting to do this for a while now but couldn't really be bothered. The Spotlight image got a bit pixelated when it was shrunk. I uploaded a HQ version of it in the same size (200x75). Could you replace the old image with the new one on the Forum Site and any other site that has the old spotlight image? Thanks.----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Wikisimpsons Forums?
I saw at the top of the page that they were active, but when I went to check them out, I get "Interner Explorer cannot display the page". Mbruno 03:00, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

This IP was spamming as well as vandalizing. I think it warrants an immediate ban, but it's your call. -- Mythigator 19:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Well, you warned him so I will let it slide for now. Our first proper vandal attack since the move! :D ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:26, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- You're in a more charitable mood than I am, then. I've been fighting off a cold for almost a week now, so I'm probably feeling a little punchy as a result. I do have to agree that a vandal atack is encouoraging in its own left-handed way. On a similar note, I've been seeing shoutwiki starting to appear in Google searches on Simpsons-related terms. -- Mythigator 22:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Bot
Is your bot working? ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

- They were talking about me on the Wikia IRC channel too, I heard. Only problem is, as soon as I joined, I was kicked and blocked by Joeyaa. I used to like him, now I think he is a dick. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- That attack was going incredibly well until Joey reverted everything and blocked the only account we have that still has admin powers. Wait until you see my next plan though, Simpsons Wiki will be a spam filled wiki, and Wikia Staff will destroy Simpsons Wiki upon my request. IRC same time same channel tomorrow ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 02:57, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

On the rise on Google
Ah, the joy. A Simspons-related Google search where we not only beat out Wikia, but also come up #1 in the results! [1] -- Mythigator 16:03, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- Not for me though. Wikia is top with the Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life article for some reason. It changes depending on location I think. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:11, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
A google search for "Simpsons wiki" has the top 3 being wikipedia (and number 3, for some reason, is O.J. Simpson), 4-6 being wikia and 7 being shoutwiki. [2]. -- Brian McClure 00:31, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
- It's #9 for me. ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
- It's #9 for me as well. First 3 are wikipedia (not surprising), 4-7 is wikia (one of them is the Michael Jackson page. weird). 8 is a domain name for sale. 9 is us. Doh5678
Movies and Flash
Can you upload .mov or .fla to the wiki? ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Never mind. Here's your Christmas present. A video game! made by me (btw I gave the same thing to sannse). ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Didn't let me use it. I tried the Play button thing and downloading it but nothing happened at all. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Nothing ever seems to work on your computer. this is the link you need to go to. When the download thing pops up press 'open' and use Adobe Flash Player. ----Smiley12 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Yodelin' Zeke Images
The wiki refuses to render the images in the Yodelin' Zeke article. I have no idea what its problem is ... I uploaded the images and created the article earlier this morning, everything looks fine in the code, and the file names are correct, so darned if I know what Shout is on about here. The thumbnails don't display in the files for the images, either, so I think there's a glitch afoot. What do we need to do to fix it or work around it? -- 64.122.207.197 16:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- Making an edit did to for me. If it hasn't for you, try resetting your cache. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:09, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- It looks fine now without doing a cache reset. Maybe it just needed the edit to give it a nudge. <<shrug>> -- Mythigator 18:09, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
English or American
Hey. Do you use the American spelling (lazer) or the British spelling (laser). Either way people will be annoyed. Doh5678 01:20, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Since The Simpsons is an American show, we use American spelling. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:27, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Doh5678 10:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- In the USA, "laser" actually is spelled with an S rather than a Z. It's in word endings where USA English tends to default to using the Z, one example being "criticise" (UK) vs. "criticize" (USA). (But in USA English it's still "criticism" with an S. I know, we're goofy; go figure). Two others to watch out for are "license" and "defense" which in USA English end in "nse" where in UK English they would end in "nce". (However, as a hockey fan, I'm well-accustomed to seeing "defence" in print.) Anyway, if you've got any specific questions, feel free to ask; I'm fluent in USA English and reasonably conversant in UK English. Hope that helps! -- Mythigator 19:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Fat Tony
Hi, could you please help with the Fat Tony pages? I have done what TheHomer suggested and renamed the pages. However, I am having difficulty with a few things. Could you take a look? Effluvium 12:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Done (I think) ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yup, you did it. Thanks, Solar! Effluvium 12:44, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Project: Episodes
Hi, is there some vote/nomination I have to go through if I am interested in becoming the new leader of Project: Episodes? The current project leader has been inactive for a while, I believe. I mainly edit the episodes on this wiki anyway. Thanks Effluvium 11:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- There is a nomination process somewhere but I skipped you past this. You are the project leader. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Much appreciated, Solar! Effluvium 12:14, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

This guy been vandalizing and luckily he's got a block. What type of Vandalizing is he doing, just asking? Doh5678 13:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure. I wasn't dealing with him. Blackadder was. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Uploading Help
Hi. Pretty soon I'm gonna be uploading an avatar. I just need a little help: Where do you get the picture? Penguin Homer 12:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Penguin Homer
- You either find the picture on the Internet or make one yourself... ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Oh and 1 more thing, can I just take it from a website or...I don't know. Penguin Homer 22:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Penguin Homer
- You can do. Just make sure it isn't against their copyrights etc. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Monaco
Yay Monaci, Wikia can SUCK IT! haha {{SUBST:User:Escyos/autosig}} 12:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Great edit
Well, here it is. I don't know if it's a great edit, but I turned a stub into a good article. Did you ask this to all users? What are you planning? A contest maybe? — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 14:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- I can't tell you that right now. All will become clear next month. Also, enjoying Monaco? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Of course! It feels weird seeing Monaco after all that time. The space seems smaller because the sidebar is bigger than Monobook, but we'll get used to it once again. Also, the wiki is much faster! — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 14:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Good Luck, and Goodbye
Just received your message. Thank you for what you have done today.
I am just as against Oasis as you, but I feel that I should try to work with Wikia to make it better.
However, if the staff do fuck it up again, it won't be long before Casualty returns to ShoutWiki.
Until than day, good luck, and goodbye. Eladkse 16:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Christmas logo
Hello, I was wondering how you added a christmas hat on Homer's head on the logo. I need to know because were doing a christmas special at Wikicars and we want a logo with snow flakes. --Knightrez(Talk) 08:32, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Re:AWB
Excellent, what did you do to get it to work? -- Brian McClure 20:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- It's working for me now, all I needed was the right site (for some reason, entering "simpsons.shoutwiki.com/wiki" crashed it). This will make category fixing a LOT easier, thanks for the help. -- Brian McClure 20:27, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Bot
Hi, Solar! I see your bot works now. Can it remove interlanguage links and add "File:" to all broken images in galleries or only make grammar corrections using AWB? — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 20:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Interwiki links should be gone now. A couple may have slipped through the net now. I am not sure if I can add file: before the galleries though. I have looked into it a bit but it seems impossible. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 20:48, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

New Project
Can you add my Project to the Template and the Sidebar. Thanks. Doh5678 18:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
RE:Help with a template
Hi Solar Dragon. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I took an unexpected vacation from ShoutWiki earlier this week, so I'm just now getting your message. I assume the problem you're speaking of is in regards the header for the template, and how {{Navbar}} is pushed below the "show" button, correct? I briefly went through the code for it and didn't find exactly what's causing that issue, though I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it's something I can fix. I have to be leaving at the moment, but I should be back online again later today and I'll see what I can make of it then. Once again, I apologize for the late reply. Cheers!

Rankings etc
Hey Solar, site looks good, especially our beloved monaco (is it wrong to hug my computer now). I was windering how did you get those ranking things and points for people profiles? If your unsure can you point me to someone or somewhere taht may have the answers? I was thinking of putting them on my Stargate Wiki too. {{SUBST:User:Escyos/autosig}} 11:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Personalized signature problem; "Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags." keeps coming up.
There's a problem as I cannot use my custom made signature as an official signature. A message reading "Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags." keeps appearing when I have "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" checked. Here is the code;
