IRC

Get your ass on IRC now. ShoutWiki update ;) ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:30, 25 November 2011 (EST)

I know about the update. I've read it on Facebook! Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:31, 25 November 2011 (EST)

You have Facebook? Why don't you add me? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:35, 25 November 2011 (EST)

No, I don't have a Facebook account, I just clicked on the link and read it. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:37, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Facebook didn't have an estimated time though ;)

Manual of Style

Hi, many of us are fed up of cleaning up after you when you make poor quality articles. Therefore, I am asking you to do this in future:

Add infoboxes where necessary. We have a list here. No excuses.
CATEGORIES! See Special:Categories. List there. No excuses.
Templates. {{Image Needed}}, {{Novoice}}, {{Conjecture}} etc. Use them. No excuses.
Comic articles and other merchandise. We have a MERCHANDISE WIKI which you are the lead admin on. You should make them all there!

Since so many of us are fed up of cleaning up after you, I will block you for a short period of time every time you make an article excluding these key things. It will probably be no longer than a day at most per block but we are getting fed up of this. You have been a key editor for some time now and you should do these things automatically by now. I don't like to do this but we have the manual of style for a reason. Sorry if I seem too harsh. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 17:04, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Also, for obvious reasons, if you are blocked, however long it may be for, you will lose your rollback rights. Obviously, afterwards, you can request them back through 'requests for rollback', but you'd actually have to earn them back. --MakeShift (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2012 (EST)

ShoutWiki

Thought you'd like to read this: The latest update. New community forum (and shop) is here. Should be up again in a week hopefully. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:59, 31 December 2011 (EST)

RE: Album

Chris said "Nothing in the works at the moment. It is a very costly proposition and we need a record label willing to shoulder the cost."--Cook879 20:00, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Ok, thanks. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 04:36, 8 January 2012 (EST)

STOP!

Use Template:Magazine!!!!!!!!!!--Cook879 08:09, 26 February 2012 (EST)

PNG files

Hi, when uploading files to the wiki, please try changing .PNG to .png. If you use just the Special:Upload form, you can edit the name of the file for the wiki, including changing .PNG to .png. I'm guessing you use snipping tool, which saves as .PNG. The same for any other file name, so, if they exist, .JPG, .GIF, .BMP, etc. (though I hope you use PNGs anyway, they're HQ). | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:46, 8 March 2012 (EST)

PHINBART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 12:10, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Sorry, forgot to change it. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:45, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Rollback request

I was about to create a page for request while I was on IRC one evening last summer, but Solar (who was on IRC) gave me the righs anyway because I'm a trusted user. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 03:42, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Okay. Better add a message to the page, then. :| |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:43, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

I don't think I should. Many users get rights even though they haven't requested. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 03:44, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Who? |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 03:46, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, never mind, I'll put a message on the page. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 03:47, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Cletus farm Tapped Out image

It was just a test. It's been badly GIMPED, so I thought it should be deleted. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 13:33, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

It looks fine. Just remove the stray white bits with the eraser. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 13:39, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

It's the aerial on the farmhouse in the image that's the problem. It has green and purple outlines that I can't really erase. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 13:47, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. |

File:Bart surrounded by Krusty merchandise.png

What episode is File:Bart surrounded by Krusty merchandise.png from? It is kind of needed. Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 17:59, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, sorry. Never mind. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 18:06, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Welcome template

You do realise you're supposed to use {{subst:Welcome}}, don't you? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 16:40, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, I thought you just used {{Welcome}}. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 16:46, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

There are certain features in there which require it to be substituted. |

UK cuts

I'm already using it. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:35, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Airing rights

OK, thanks. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:00, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

By the episode "The Bart Wants What it Wants", BBC had already lost the rights to air The Simpsons. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1385172/Doh-Now-the-BBC-loses-The-Simpsons.html. This should help. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:09, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

I never said that was the final episode. The Telegraph might have been a bit late on reporting the story. It could have been any one of these. |

Fish Hooks Wiki

Hi Phinbart. With ShoutWiki likely not coming back, you can find backups for all sw wikis, including Fish Hooks Wiki here. You can import the data dump if you move to another host. --Orange Ice 14:00, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

It's OK. If ShoutWiki's gone for good, I don't think I'm gonna continue with Fish Hooks Wiki. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:05, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Wikkii and TropicalWikis are good wiki hosts, if the host is the thing you're concerned about. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:22, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

TropicalWikis isn't that good. It's had a number of downtimes since it started. Wikkii is the only good free wikifarm. Orange Ice 14:32, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Mehkay. Wikkii is still good. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:32, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Do you have a wiki hosted on wikkii? --Orange Ice 14:35, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

I used to contribute to a little side-project me and Solar had, which was Bob's Burgers Wiki, but I think I've just let that wiki to burn a hole in the ground. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:36, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Well probably best to focus on a single wiki. ;) --Orange Ice 14:37, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Indents, Orange Ice... |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:40, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

I know.. put one less then I should have. --Orange Ice 14:42, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

How many articles did you have when shoutwiki crashed. The backup have 355 aticles. FatHomer^Talk 08:40, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Four hundred and something I think... ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:41, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

If I seat up the wiki again, would you edit? FatHomer^Talk 08:45, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

FatHomer, I think I'm done with FHW, so I don't think so. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:50, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Ok :/ It wont crash again if it's independent. FatHomer^Talk 08:51, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Before the wiki went down, I was thinking maybe FHW could become like a sub-domain of Wikisimpsons, but it was just too much to ask. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:55, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

If you change your mind I can seat up the wiki independent. FatHomer^Talk 09:02, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

I don't know. It seems too much. I think I'll wait till summer to decide because then I have 6 weeks to do everything. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:04, 9 April 2012 (EDT)

Sandbox table

Hi, have you got any idea why, on your list of robots table, in your sandbox the "Simpsons' backyard" bit on the the second column, not the third? I've tried a few things, but nothing's worked. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:08, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I have absolutely no idea why. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:09, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

...

What did you mean by "It was originally Binky, but when Lisa visited Matt Groening at a convention at Comic-Con, he tore off an ear and Lisa happily went off with it." (from here) | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:49, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Lisa came with Binky from Life in Hell, and visited Matt Groening at a convention at some con (not Comic-Con), and Matt ripped an ear off of Binky. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:51, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but which episode then... |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:51, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

It wasn't an episode. It was on one of "The Complete Twelfth Season" discs. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:53, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Those are all episodes... |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:57, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

No, one of the intros that are on the discs. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:58, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm confused a bit. I think I know what you mean. Can you get a screenshot (and add a source on the page -_-)? |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 15:09, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

I'll either upload a screenshot later or tomorrow. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 15:13, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay, thanks. |

GIF and JPG image

Hi, you know when you tried uploading that JPG image? Well, somehow it is actually gif, despite the title. Try clicking "Save image as", then look at the file type. It says GIF. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:56, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, right! ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:56, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, it actually happend to me sometime, I believed changing the end .jpg to .png would change the file type (stupid), and then it could not upload, so someone must have done that... FatHomer^Talk 15:05, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Secret Fortunes Simpsons question

I'm sure, yeah. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:23, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Ohh... can't find out what season number and episode it was. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 04:24, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Of "Secret Fortune"? Last series I presume. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:25, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes, of Secret Fortune. I'm doing "The Simpsons in quiz shows" sandbox. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 04:26, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Come to think of it, it might have been the series before last. Check on Wikipedia. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:33, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

There were two series. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 04:40, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm sure there's been more than two series. Anyway, I created User:Phinbart/How to use Col templates as a how-to guide to create col templates. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 04:46, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

Do you know what to do on the Alien I created? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 11:02, 12 April 2012 (EDT)
