Promo Pics

Hi Solar, there are new pics in FoxFlash. One (the couch gag one) is from "The Kids Are All Fight" and the other 5 are from "Let's Go Fly a Coot". Any chance you could upload them soon? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 14:18, April 24, 2015 (EDT)

All uploaded. The Solar Dragon 14:32, April 24, 2015 (EDT)
Uh, the couch gas was The game of life (again) not that one. Pheraps the couch gag picture was also from Lets go fly a coot? LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 23:56, April 26, 2015 (EDT)
There are 3 promo pics for "Bull-E" in FoxFlash! Could you upload them as soon as you can? Thanks! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:50, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
Uploaded. The Solar Dragon 09:42, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
Thanks! There's still one S26 episode without promotional images. I hope they will upload them in FoxFlash in a week from now. / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 10:14, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
Hi Solar, there are 5 pics for the season 26 finale(Mathlete's Feat) in FoxFlash(right under the ones from Let's Go Fly a Coot)! / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 08:29, May 8, 2015 (EDT)

Hi Solar! I've just uploaded the first promo pics of season 27. I'm still in holidays so it is impossible for me to make a blog post about them. (I'm surprised I managed to upload the pictures) Could you do it? Thanks. Now that I have a FoxFlash account I'll bother you less with the promo pics thing. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 10:24, September 2, 2015 (EDT)

Talk page messages and warnings

Hi Solar. It's been about four months since the "clouds-background" talk page notification "disappeared". And the current notification system it's a bit "inefficient". It is not as visible as the clouds one, which causes users (specially new users) to ignore other users' messages or Admin warnings. My question is: Isn't there any chance to bring the clouds notification back?

What do you think? Could that work? / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 19:20, May 2, 2015 (EDT)

Okay, message me again and let's test this to see if it works. The Solar Dragon 19:46, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
Has it worked? / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 19:54, May 2, 2015 (EDT)
Nope. Also tried navigating pages to see if it would show. Nothing. It's getting late and I have coursework and exam revision to do tomorrow so I won't be able to look into it. I'll keep checking the wiki though so if you have any ideas, feel free to put them into action. The Solar Dragon 19:57, May 2, 2015 (EDT)

Two-seasons renewal

Hi, I was wondering if we should create an article for S28 (knowing the show has been renewed for S27 and S28) ??/ Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 18:15, May 4, 2015 (EDT)

Hmm. I guess we could make an article with the announcement info. The Solar Dragon 18:17, May 4, 2015 (EDT)
I've just made it. I think that when the shows was renewed through S24 and 25, despite not being registered in the wiki yet, I saw the S25 page. / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 18:30, May 4, 2015 (EDT)

Bull-E x2 new promo pics

hey man, Homer to the Max posted 2 new promo pics (thumbnails) for the episode. Can you post them normal? thanks :) LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 15:07, May 5, 2015 (EDT)

Low quality images

Hi Solar. I'm going to spend a lot of time this summer dealing with Low quality images. So, please, could you wait until I'll have lowered the number of pictures in the category to 150 (or so) images. Thanks! The category is getting flooded with images. Also, please don't add anymore S18 and S19 images to the category for now. Those seasons are not being released in DVD or Blu-Ray so it will take me a considerable amount of time to find a way to have those images in a decent quality. Thanks! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 08:39, June 16, 2015 (EDT)

Well, I don't really pay attention to what seasons an image belongs to. If it's of terrible quality, I add it to the category. I'll leave it for now though then. The Solar Dragon 08:48, June 16, 2015 (EDT)

FOX about the Homer and Marge Split Up rumor

Looks like they posted a video about it just now. maybe you can add it to the articles? ;) Youtube favicon.png Homer And Marge, Together Forever at YouTube LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 18:13, June 19, 2015 (EDT)

I'm on it now! Also, there's the {{Youtube}} template for it. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 18:25, June 19, 2015 (EDT)
yeah i know but since it's not an article i figured to use the quicker template of links without finding the youtube thing again xD. Is there a way to get an email when a new article on the springfield shopper? I was talking about this article Homer and Marge Are NOT Breaking Up For Good!!! LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 18:36, June 19, 2015 (EDT)
I've made a Blog Post

and all you have to do is to fill the empty boxes in this page and you'll receive notifications! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 20:16, June 19, 2015 (EDT)

I'm blind apparently cause i didn't see that lol thanks LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 20:20, June 19, 2015 (EDT)
You're welcome! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 20:28, June 19, 2015 (EDT)

Unregistered IPs can vote?

So, Unregistered IPs can vote in Featured content nominations? They only can't vote in user rights nominations? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 19:32, June 22, 2015 (EDT)

Yeah. Nothing wrong with them voting in featured nominations. The Solar Dragon 03:30, June 23, 2015 (EDT)
Ok. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:04, June 23, 2015 (EDT)

Featured Polls

Hi Solar. Does it matter if a Featured Poll has more than 5 options?? I've come up with a good poll idea for next month but it would have 7 options. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:20, June 28, 2015 (EDT)

Well, it was mainly a way of saving space and not having the column expand too much. 7 options should be okay. The Solar Dragon 07:21, June 28, 2015 (EDT)

An answer to a question

Hi Solar! Do you know the answer to this question in Answers? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:55, July 1, 2015 (EDT)

Nope. Can't think of what it would be. Only thing I can think of is that episode when they crashed a funeral to eat free food, and then all put on sad faces. But I think Homer was also sad. The Solar Dragon 07:59, July 1, 2015 (EDT)
I've thought about that one and Amber's funeral, but I think that Homer just slept in that one. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 08:49, July 1, 2015 (EDT)
What about that funeral that also had that hotdog vendor that was following Homer around? --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) 13:12, July 1, 2015 (EDT)
Not that one. (Btw, the one Nick says is Bleeding Gums Murphy's funeral ('Round Springfield)). / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 14:20, July 1, 2015 (EDT)

UK Comics

Why are you reverting a few of my edits on the UK simpsons comics they were wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicia (talkcontribs) 16:34, July 7, 2015

Your edits seemed more wrong than what we had already. Plus, most of the info was added by long time users. The Solar Dragon 16:37, July 7, 2015 (EDT)

More wrong ahahaha I'm Pretty sure I know a lot more about UK comics than you and some other people do I have every UK and US Simpsons Comic

For example the treehouse of horror issues issue no 2 is not issue 98 etc

issue no 2 is simpsons comic 20 issue no 3 is simpsons comic 33 issue no 4 is simpsons comic 46 issue no 5 is simpsons comic 59 etc

New Season 27 trailer

THE SIMPSONS | Trumptastic Voyage | ANIMATION on FOX —Preceding unsigned comment added by LetsPlayNintendoITA (talkcontribs) 22:07, July 7, 2015‎ In Season 27 one of the things is that Homer is going to vote. Is it possible this is a preview of that episode? LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 08:09, July 8, 2015 (EDT)

No, this is a one off special. Although it could be included in that episode in some way. The Solar Dragon 08:14, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
Also, the USA presidential election are happening in Fall 2016, so Homer will probably vote in one of the early season 28 episodes. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 09:23, July 8, 2015 (EDT)

Uploading picture on the blog

Httperror.png uh what? (I'm trying to upload a 1.06 MB picture). also why can't i select to use thumbnails instead of full size pictures like i can in Topix? LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 10:10, July 8, 2015 (EDT)

I don't know. I always use images already online, I don't use the upload image feature. The Solar Dragon 10:30, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
the problem is with Tapped Out pictures they're too big for the article so i use the upload future for them but if they're too big that happens let's see if Loco knows LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 10:33, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
Try to use the images already uploaded in Wikisimpsons. Just go to the file's page and click the image, then you'll have the url of the image in wikisimpsons. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 10:41, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
I can't resize them that way though LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 10:42, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
Then add width="250" height="250" or something like that in the <img> tag. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 10:47, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
Or if you have the images in your computer you could resize them with paint or something like that and then upload them in the blog or in imgur. Then you would have them in the size you want. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 10:49, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
Ok done. LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 10:54, July 8, 2015 (EDT)
That shouldn't happen. Can you link me to the image you were trying to upload so I can investigate? And as the others have said, you should always try to use our existing images whenever possible because there's a limited amount of disk space available for new WordPress uploads. Normally it is in bad taste to link images across websites because of bandwidth costs, but since I pay for the bandwidth either way it's okay to do so in this case. --Jake 09:06, July 9, 2015 (EDT)
Community Prizes Screen I was trying to upload the old version of this one. yeah i agree it's better to use the wiki files if there's a limit. I thought there wasn't or something cause on topix it says there's a limit of space in TSS it doesn't show up. LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 09:40, July 9, 2015 (EDT)
Not sure what the issue could have been. I just managed to upload it without any problems. Let me know if any other images do this in the future. (On my talk page.) And about the limit, Topix is a Wordpress.com site so they have an upload cap set by Wordpress.com that (I assume) they can pay to upgrade. That's why you can see the limit when uploading on Topix. Our site doesn't have a cap like that, but we are of course limited by the physical amount of space on the server which you can't see from within Wordpress. --Jake 12:09, July 19, 2015 (EDT)
you uploaded the 72kb new version, the old one is 1 MB big and that's the one that doesnt upload. yeah i imagined that's the reason topix has. it's funny cause we've so much space (13 GB) but we're using so few (1.3) lol LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 12:22, July 19, 2015 (EDT)
Ok, I tried it again with the larger file and got the same error you did. I've increased the upload file limit to 10MB which seems to resolve the issue. --Jake 17:23, July 19, 2015 (EDT)
Yea it seems to work LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 18:56, July 19, 2015 (EDT)

Having Image Issues

https://simpsonswiki.com/w/index.php?title=List_of_Simpsons_Comics_in_the_UK&diff=694479&oldid=693038

Why Does images of the issues above 111 not show in the latest revision and how to fix? Thanks Alicia (talk) 05:32, July 22, 2015 (EDT)

I'm not entirely sure why they're not showing up. They should do. I'll try and fix it and see what happens. The Solar Dragon 05:46, July 22, 2015 (EDT)
I removed the ifexist in the template that was only supposed to show the "No Image Available" image if the comic image didn't exist. This shouldn't have been happening and I don't know why it was but it should be fixed now. The Solar Dragon 05:50, July 22, 2015 (EDT)

Ahh I see, Thank!! Alicia (talk) 05:51, July 22, 2015 (EDT)

A diff that should be hidden

Hi Solar, could you hide/delete this Spam diff?. Thanks! / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:23, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

I did so before you left this message. lol The Solar Dragon 07:25, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

Hi

i'd love to sign up but i can't or say why71.162.155.239 18:26, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

sorry if i sound rude71.162.155.239 18:29, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
What problem do you have exactly? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 18:50, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

well first i need to know something wikipedia says an ip address can track you down is this true or did i misread71.162.155.239 21:19, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

Use this link to sign up. Your IP address is unnecessary for the sign up process, and you already know it (it's 71.162.155.239). Fill out all the parts of the form and enter the correct CAPTCHA and you'll be able to sign up. The Solar Dragon 06:06, July 28, 2015 (EDT)

well still i want to know can an ip address track your location?--71.162.155.239 13:01, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

Try Google. The Solar Dragon 13:02, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

sorry, but what do you mean--71.162.155.239 13:04, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

Just search "IP Locator" in Google and visit the results of the search. I'm 99.9% sure that one of the first pages will be a page in which you can find where an IP is located. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 13:13, August 11, 2015 (EDT)
"sorry, but what do you mean". Google is a search engine. Typing things in there leads to a wealth of information about any subject you can think of. The Solar Dragon 13:20, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

shoulda been more specific. i know what google is, i just want to know what to search. Loco, i want to know if my ip can trace my location. again, sorry if i sound rude--71.162.155.239 13:28, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

The Simpsons: Celebrity Friends

[File:Credits Friends.png I'm uploading the episodes to the drive./AleWi (talk) 14:17, August 1, 2015 (EDT)

Are the credits actually viewable? All the ones I found online were the same episode from the Swedish 6 channel with subtitles. The credits then shrank to a tiny, non-viewable format. And do you have all three of them? The Solar Dragon 14:19, August 1, 2015 (EDT)
It's not shrank, only voiceover./AleWi (talk) 14:21, August 1, 2015 (EDT)
Done, https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dMfK3FjdqCaUUtZVI4SWFQaHc /AleWi (talk) 14:26, August 1, 2015 (EDT)
Do you also have Access All Areas? There's only 2 in the Drive. The Solar Dragon 14:41, August 1, 2015 (EDT)
Never mind, it's there now. The Solar Dragon 14:42, August 1, 2015 (EDT)

Creating a Category?

How do I go about creating a category? In this particular case (file name: Greetings_from_the_Simpsons_2007.jpg), for images? Sorry to bother you, but I think a crazy week at work is making my brain denser than usual. :-) -- Mythigator (talk) 08:08, August 5, 2015 (EDT)

Just create a new page called "Category:Images - Greetings from the Simpsons (2007)‎" and put some info there./AleWi (talk) 09:02, August 5, 2015 (EDT)
I already tried that and it didn't work, which is why I asked the question in the first place. I was wondering if there was some step in the process that I was missing? -- Mythigator (talk) 10:23, August 5, 2015 (EDT)
Should be possible to just create the page at Category:Images - Greetings from the Simpsons (2007). I would do it myself but I'm now curious to see if there is an issue. Can clicking that link lead you to the page to create? The Solar Dragon 17:37, August 5, 2015 (EDT)
There is another postcard book by the same title that was published in 1990, and I'm planning on writing an article for that book as well, so I'll have a chance to have another go at creating a category. -- Mythigator (talk) 18:53, August 5, 2015 (EDT)

Can't find where this come from in the show

They're in Springfield Heights' update: Incubator Think Tank, Polo Field House + Polo Field, Burn's Money Pool.

do you have any idea where they may come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LetsPlayNintendoITA (talkcontribs) 11:35, August 7, 2015

The Money Pool, I'm guessing is from "Homer the Great". It was from the Stonecutters event. Everything else I literally have no idea. Maybe try asking AleWi. The Solar Dragon 11:42, August 7, 2015 (EDT)

wild guess: is the think tank some sort of lego movie spoof?--71.162.155.239 13:02, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

Two questions

Hi Solar, I have two questions to ask you. 1) Could you update the featured contemt in September 1, please? I won't be in my home that week and I will only have the internet of my phone to make edits and with that I'll only be able to make minor edits. In October I'll update the featured content, and 2) Is there anything planned for the wiki's 10th anniversary, which is in next month? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 07:44, August 17, 2015 (EDT)

Sure, I could do the featured content. And no, there's nothing planned. If you can thing of anything we can do for it, tell me so I can prepare things, and get Jake to help out if need be. The Solar Dragon 07:54, August 17, 2015 (EDT)
Well, I have no ideas in mind now but I've thought we could create a page "Wikisimpsons:10th Anniversary ideas" and ask users about what could be done for the wiki's 10th Anniversary and then select a couple of ideas. The deadline to give ideas should be in early September. The page should be also in the sitenotice. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 08:06, August 17, 2015 (EDT)
Regarding the 10th Anniversary, I've started this page, but I think it is not complete yet. It is OK like it is? Should I move it to the "Wikisimpsons:" namespace? BTW, should it be moved to the "Wikisimpsons:" namespace or to the "Blog:" namespace? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 21:04, August 18, 2015 (EDT)

image problems

I replaced an image but the white bars are still there just with the image squished why? also could you delete this page because its contents is joined to another page, Oh and now the transparency has gone in one of the images i've uploaded Alicia (talk) 14:35, August 18, 2015 (EDT)

You have to refresh the cache to make the new image show. Ctrl + F5 usually does this. If this still doesn't work, edit the page and hit save without making any changes. As for transparency, is the image you uploaded a jpg? Transparency only works on png images. The Solar Dragon 14:46, August 18, 2015 (EDT)

Okay I see now, that worked thanks... but what confuses me the most then is that i have quite a few transparent jpg files O_O. Just found Simpsons_Summer_Shindig_UK which is an old version of Simpsons Summer Shindig (UK) which could be deleted as well. Alicia (talk) 14:56, August 18, 2015 (EDT)

Huh. Whenever I use GIMP to make images transparent, it tells me that transparency will be lost if converted to jpg. So that's weird. The Solar Dragon 14:58, August 18, 2015 (EDT)
I always use this page to make images transparent and it works really well. But if I then edit the image with Paint, it tells me that the transparency will be lost if I save no-matter-what edits (even if I'm saving it to a .png). / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 20:12, August 18, 2015 (EDT)

[[1]] is right but when try to make the features tab this happens [[2]] and can't seem to fix it it just goes into example/features/Appearances instead of example/Appearances like all the other tabs. hope that made sense Alicia (talk) 16:12, August 19, 2015 (EDT)

SF shopper

Hey, can't you link the facebook and twitter account to the blog so it autoposts the posts we do? just wondering LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) 13:36, August 28, 2015 (EDT)

I probably won't. I like to add links to pages and hashtags in etc. Can't do that with automatic posts. The Solar Dragon 15:45, August 28, 2015 (EDT)

Lego Dimensions

I guess you're picking up Lego Dimensions then?--Cook879 15:42, August 28, 2015 (EDT)

I'd like to but I'm already spending too much collecting amiibo. I'll have to give Dimensions a miss although I'd love to be able to play it. I just thought we needed an article for it as I knew there was Simpsons content for it. The Solar Dragon 15:45, August 28, 2015 (EDT)
I did wonder why there wasn't a page but was too lazy to make it :P Not collecting Amiibo or anything, I shall be getting Dimensions - starting with Simpsons, Scooby Doo, Portal 2 and Wizard of Oz, and shall be getting Doctor Who when it comes out. Everything else will be in sales or just when I feel like it. Just started a quest to complete all the WiiU Lego games 100% - currently 75% on Lego Marvel and should hopefully finish this weekend - so will probably end up getting all of Dimensions eventually (though I can't say the idea of Ninjago thrills me - at least some of the Chima characters look cool). How's the Amiibo collection going?--Cook879 16:28, August 28, 2015 (EDT)
Awesome. I 100%ed Lego Marvel months ago. lol. I have every amiibo released so far and every amiibo available for pre-order ordered. I dread to think how much I have spent on my collection though. lol. The Solar Dragon 16:31, August 28, 2015 (EDT)
Well I completed the story on PC last year - went to complete it like three weeks ago but I got really confused about the controls, so brought it on WiiU and decided to start my crazy challenge! That's pretty impressive - I guess you have dedicated shelving in place now? :P--Cook879 04:37, August 29, 2015 (EDT)
Well, I do have shelving but it's already pretty much full. I have all my Nintendo figures and merchandise on them. lol. I'm actually thinking about getting proper display cases to replace my shelves. I need more space for them. The Solar Dragon 06:30, August 29, 2015 (EDT)
Especially at the rate they seem to be coming out with more!--Cook879 05:03, August 30, 2015 (EDT)

Kent Brockman's "Gay" List

In "Bart's Comet", when it appears that Springfield is about to be destroyed, Kent Brockman airs a list of people that he says are gay. A lot of them seem to have their own articles (of questionable notability, BTW) and are listed as gay or lesbian, as appropriate, on the LGBT characters template. Notability issues aside, shouldn't these people be under the "hinted" categories, since the only thing we have to go on is Brockman's impending-apocalypse "outing"? -- Mythigator (talk) 20:34, August 30, 2015 (EDT)

I personally believe they shouldn't have articles. Or should be mentioned under Staff Cameos or something. The Solar Dragon 03:49, August 31, 2015 (EDT)
They don't seem to fit under any of the categories in that article. Maybe we need to add a category called something like "Gags" or "Mentions"? -- Mythigator (talk) 19:17, August 31, 2015 (EDT)

My page creating rights

Why can't I create pages yet and when will I get that right? -- PK2 (talk) 07:59, August 31, 2015 (EDT)

You can't create pages yet because it's a spam prevention feature. See Wikisimpsons:Users#Autoconfirmed users to see how to get page creation rights. The Solar Dragon 08:10, August 31, 2015 (EDT)

New IP Addresses

You've probably already figured it out, but the site now supports IPv6, so we're going to start seeing those weird super long IPv6 addresses from now on. Just figured I'd offer an explanation since I left that out of my email. :P --Jake 05:36, September 5, 2015 (EDT)

Main Page Talk Page Vandalism

The IP vandalism edit to the Main Page Talk Page needs to be rendered invisible. A quick look at it should easily reveal why. However, I'm not sure whether I have the ability to do that, or if I do, how to go about it. -- Mythigator (talk) 03:27, September 8, 2015 (EDT)

I'm not sure if you can but if you look in history pages, next to revisions should be a checkbox. Ticking this and then going to the button "change visibility of selected revisions" should allow you to delete the revision. The Solar Dragon 06:14, September 8, 2015 (EDT)
But this ability to delete revisions is not an ability that admins have. Only the Wiki Head(You, Solar) and the Server Manager(Jake) have that ability.(See List of User group rights). On the other hand, we admins can delete the page and then undelete it without that revision of the page by not selecting it when "Choose what revisions to undelete". / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 09:11, September 8, 2015 (EDT)
Ah right. I didn't know if it was all admins or only me and Jake with that ability. The Solar Dragon 09:23, September 8, 2015 (EDT)

Mafia Names

Hey. How can we be sure the names of the mafia added by that IP User are not made-up? They should be removed unless they are sourced. I've seen you've asked the IP about this.

I wonder where the Apu's Apocalypse Jeep comes from. maybe from this seasons' halloween dual ep? I still haven't found anything on this items:
Halloween Party Wall, Halloween Balloons, Spooky Tent, Spooky Cabin, Spooky House, Tenta-Corp HQ, Sunken Temple, Bramble Hedge, Spooky Hedge, Gate to Nowhere, Mechanical Ghost, The Impossible Tower, Biohazard Tower, Wailing Wall, Spooky Wall, Spooky Tree, Dead Tree, Victorian UFO. Probably most are for just the game too but... LetsPlayNintendoITA 08:48, October 11, 2015 (EDT)
The Wailing Wall actually has an article. As for the others, I'm not sure. Dead Trees appear in various THOH openings I think. Others will likely be in the Halloween episodes this year. The Solar Dragon 08:49, October 11, 2015 (EDT)

I don't know. They shouldn't have articles. I've only recently been more interested in improving comic articles and haven't seen all of them. If a series isn't out in the UK, it shouldn't have a UK article. The Solar Dragon 15:50, October 11, 2015 (EDT)

Template:ComicsListWorld

Why is Template:ComicsListWorld unneeded? Dylan - Talk Contribs 12:23, November 6, 2015 (EST)

Well, the template itself was vague and placed on many pages where it was unnecessary (i.e. the Bart Annuals page) and we don't really have pages for the comics per country, listing all series of comics in that country etc. That's what it would be necessary for. The Solar Dragon 12:24, November 6, 2015 (EST)

comics

1. Simpsons Comics Winter Wingding In The UK " ‎(Only one comic in the series. Doesn't need a series page.)" oh but Simpsons Comics and Stories is perfectly fine!?

2. Simpsons crossovers tell me how you get to the crossovers that were in futurama comics then in the UK then?

3. Treasure trove actually those wingding and summer shindig should because ages ago on titan magazines website the number of the issues were something like "SimpTrove15/Summer1"

4. why did you remove "Simpsons Comics From Magazines" and "Simpsons Comics (Newsstand Edition UK)" from Simpsons Comics (UK) just cause the pages weren't made doesn't mean they needed to be removed from the page and if you say they don't exist then see below Simpsons-comic-daily-mirror.jpg Simpsons-us-1-newsstand-uk.jpg

Dylan - Talk Contribs 03:01, November 8, 2015 (EST)

  1. That also shouldn't have a page. I redirected it to the article.
  2. The comics should be listed under "Reprints" on the comic story articles, with links to The Infosphere articles.
  3. Summer Shindig comics are not Treasure Trove. The clue is in the name. Doesn't matter what the listing number is, they don't follow the naming or numbering.
  4. They were broken links. If the articles get created, add them back in. The Solar Dragon 03:06, November 8, 2015 (EST)

Completely different question why is the simpsonswiki logo say Wikisimpsons and the website is simpsonswiki Dylan - Talk Contribs 06:06, November 8, 2015 (EST)

Tab templates

Hi Solar. I've just seen there's a problem with the Tab templates. (At least with the tab templates used with episodes except from the {{Tab}} template). The problem is that the templates make a line break between them and whatever there is under them (usually the "EpisodePrevNext" templates, but that's not important). To see what happens under the tab templates:Puffless and Puffless/References. The tab templates that have this problem are {{TabR}}, {{TabA}}, {{TabC}}, {{TabG}} and {{TabQ}}. What do you think?

Hey. Do you have any idea what's goin on with the IRC server? 12h since it stopped connecting, and being like that 2 nights in a row before tonight LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:15, November 29, 2015 (EST)

Works for me. The Solar Dragon 13:25, November 29, 2015 (EST)
There's been some DDoS attacks recently. That'll be why there's problems. The Solar Dragon 13:27, November 29, 2015 (EST)
oh ouch who did that? do you guys know? EA had major problem on the forum last night LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:30, November 29, 2015 (EST)
i got d/c then the program tried to reconnect. maybe cause i used the ip and thus screwed it up? Connecting to -ip- (6667) LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:29, November 29, 2015 (EST)

Something wrong with images

Do you see this as well? I've told Jake about it. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 15:10, December 9, 2015 (EST)

And now it's fixed. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 15:18, December 9, 2015 (EST)
Yep. Jake fixed it. He's working on sorting out the site speeds too. The Solar Dragon 15:26, December 9, 2015 (EST)
Check your emails. I've just submitted new DNS records which will switch everyone over to the new servers. Everything seems to be speeding up now. Keeping a site of this size running smoothly has proven to be quite a challenge. I appreciate your patience with this. --Jake 15:44, December 9, 2015 (EST)

Also wasn't the max file size 5 MB? LetsPlayNintendoITA 19:05, December 9, 2015 (EST)
That error is because of the file size. I've increased the limit to 10 MB. --Jake 21:17, December 9, 2015 (EST)
Thanks. The new servers are so fast by the way jake! Thanks a ton for all your work. However something is preventing me from posting. sent you an email about it LetsPlayNintendoITA 22:08, December 9, 2015 (EST)
I don't know if the new servers are fast, or if the old one was just really slow. Either way, I'm glad things are loading more quickly for you. This is a much better infrastructure for a site of our size and traffic. --Jake 22:14, December 9, 2015 (EST)

You need to make at least two edits and have been a user for 24 hours before you can make a user page. The Solar Dragon 17:17, January 9, 2016 (EST)

Everyone keeps reverting my changes.

They know it's true, but they do it anyways. I'm just trying to add more detail! It says that everyone gets a chance to be constructive, but they aren't letting me. I'm putting real facts on here! TEH EPICNESS (talk) 11:39, January 10, 2016 (EST)

Most of what you added to that page was redundant or not necessary. That's why I've reverted your edits. In the future, if you notice an admin or a rollback has reverted your edits, ask the user or an admin why have your edits been reverted. Don't revert the reversion! That's agains the wiki's "Only revert once" policy. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 11:47, January 10, 2016 (EST)
I'll point out a couple of problems with your edits to LGBT characters. 1) You are removing {{Comp}} from the top of the page. 2) You are adding in information out of universe "in an upcoming season 27 episode." that hasn't even aired yet, or even been given an episode name yet. We don't add in information from unreleased episodes in non-episode articles. Other additions were just unneeded. The Solar Dragon 11:50, January 10, 2016 (EST)

Hi Solar! Remind me? I'm Barthony70099. Sorry for evade the blockade and sorry for abusing multiple accounts, because this is the only way to communicate with you, because you never reply my e-mail messages. I know this is not going to like it, but I really want to unlock me, and took more than one year locked, I promise not to add things that have nothing to do with The Simpsons, I promise not to abuse multiple accounts, I promise not to ask Loco for the high-quality images. I promise to be good in Wikisimpsons, so, please, unblock me and also de IP directions. No more vandalism. Barthony70099 will be a good user no more a bad user =(

APK files

Hey, I was wondering if you had an archive of all the apks from TSTO, expecially the ones with changed splashscreens? 'd like to do a render of all of them in high quality. I know there's only ios till VD 2013, but maybe there's a way for that too? LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:21, February 13, 2016 (EST)

Nope, I don't have an archive of any apks... Sorry. The Solar Dragon 13:25, February 13, 2016 (EST)

Hi

Hi Solar, I think it would be much better if there only was one simpsons wiki. I know the other wiki won't be removed but could we try to get people from there to join this wiki? Not by posting on normal editors walls, but with a discussion with their most active users. FatHomerTalk 11:41, February 15, 2016 (EST)

We've tried various times in the past. Not going to bother any more. The Solar Dragon 11:49, February 15, 2016 (EST)
Okay, I understand. However, can I chat with a couple of users and see why they prefer that site? FatHomerTalk 11:52, February 15, 2016 (EST)
I'm not going to give that an answer. As head admin of Wikisimpsons, I can't suggest you try and get people to move away from Simpsons Wikia. I'm sure you can understand, I have to remain impartial so that we don't start an argument between the two sites. The Solar Dragon 11:57, February 15, 2016 (EST)
Ah, yes I understand that FatHomerTalk 12:14, February 15, 2016 (EST)

Characters edits

hey, did you add anything other than the TSTO stuff in the characters pages? Thanks for that btw. since i made some "where do they come from" posts didn't want to miss any adds to that. thanks LetsPlayNintendoITA 19:38, February 20, 2016 (EST)

Just some general cleanup to some pages that needed it, adding some categories here and there. Nothing too major. The Solar Dragon 01:09, February 21, 2016 (EST)

ok ;) nice work :p LetsPlayNintendoITA 06:34, February 21, 2016 (EST)

Daytona and Debate specials

Hey, you think we should add the Daytona and debate specials on the List of specials? I've no idea who those characters are in the debate one so... LetsPlayNintendoITA 08:10, February 21, 2016 (EST)

Yeah, they should both have articles too. I'm busy doing TSTO stuff but I'm sure someone could add the politicians from the debate special in. The Solar Dragon 08:12, February 21, 2016 (EST)

A doubt

Hi Solar. I've got a doubt. If a TV show has referenced The Simpsons 4 times and The Simpsons has referenced it just once, should it get an article?? / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 19:12, April 7, 2016 (EDT)

I'm generally under the impression that 5 references between either of the shows can get it an article. Is there an example of this? The Solar Dragon 04:23, April 8, 2016 (EDT)
Sure. The Big Bang Theory is an example. I've created a page for it in my userspace. I think there are enough references in that page to mainspace it. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 08:37, April 8, 2016 (EDT)

Heyo.Dunno what happened with the semi. Probably edited wrong or something. Ops. Are yo excited about Simprovised? :D uploaded the commercial that aired last night during the episode commercial break thanks to someone streaming me the trailer after since the video isn't yet online elsewhere hopefully a.d. uploads it this week in better quality.

Frank Oz

Hello, is their any particular reason my edits to the Jim Henson, and the references page of Pulpit Friction naming Frank Oz as the other puppeteer were reverted? It's pretty blatantly him. LUNI TUNZ (talk) 16:23, May 16, 2016 (EDT)

Oh, right. Sorry then. I was trying to remember that scene and I was sure that we never actually saw the other puppeteer's face. You can feel free to add the info back in/create an article on him etc. The Solar Dragon 16:47, May 16, 2016 (EDT)

SVT

Why that change? I don't get it LetsPlayNintendoITA 10:23, May 22, 2016 (EDT)

Look at the Name section on the article. He was called Steve in "Beware My Cheating Bart" and Jeremy in a deleted scene. The Solar Dragon 10:45, May 22, 2016 (EDT)
oh that, thanks. I'm asking cause everywhere i see him called jeremy. that's why i was confused. I asked AJ to see what he says about it too early :) LetsPlayNintendoITA 13:42, May 22, 2016 (EDT)

Countdown template

Hi Solar. I've tried to fix the countdown template, but I haven't managed to fix it. So, if you have any ideas to fix it, it would be great, otherwise I'll just delete the template. Thanks! / Loco87 (Talk / Contribs) 07:56, May 29, 2016 (EDT)

Your template code looks fine to me, but it seems like the extension doesn't transclude well when inside templates. --Jake 09:23, May 29, 2016 (EDT)

Questline page

hey I was thinking, instead of overflowing the event page (that's slowing down the loading considerably) and having to split the event in 3 pages. Why don't we create separate pages for the questlines? Like

  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2
  • Issue 3
  • Premium
  • Prizes and Craftables

depending on how big they're we could fuse more of them in 1 page but instead of having all clustered there? And have them linked in the Gameplay tag of the page. This of course only for big events with lots of quests. LetsPlayNintendoITA 16:01, June 17, 2016 (EDT)

Whatever you think is best, you go for it. The Solar Dragon 16:04, June 17, 2016 (EDT)

22 "For" 30

Hi Solar. I created the page for the episode with the name "22 For 30" with "For" instead of "for" 'cause in the script cover it was written "For". They used to write the titles in script covers in uppercase, but they have recently not done it like that. I always use titlecase.com with new episode titles to write them properly. / Loco87 (TALK / Contribs) 11:03, June 30, 2016 (EDT)

The proper title case for "For" is "for", lower case. I went to submit the episode name to IMDb and it told me this, so I checked with titlecase.com as well and it also said that. Also, if you check Wikipedia for articles with "for" in the middle, i.e. Thanks for Nothing, it's also lowercase, and we follow Wikipedia naming conventions. The Solar Dragon 11:06, June 30, 2016 (EDT)

Benjamin

Okay, just grabbed a quote from Simpsons World. I'm going to try and find the scene to see which one says the line attributed to which character, I'll update you when I know. The Solar Dragon 16:10, July 7, 2016 (EDT)
You know that long groan Homer does something. The "Ohhhawwaaooohhh" noise? Yeah, I'm making that right now. I'm going to juggle the three pages around and try and get them to the right names... FFS. The Solar Dragon 16:15, July 7, 2016 (EDT)
Okay, I played musical chairs with the three of them and I think I should have it all sorted. Chances are there will be one or two errors somewhere, but hopefully someone will spot them and there won't be too many. A three way move is really complicated and confusing, even using a bot to make changes. lol The Solar Dragon 17:03, July 7, 2016 (EDT)

It's fine, I want the wiki to be as accurate as possible so calling up on these things is useful. I try to keep with official sources on everything and we consider Simpsons World and FoxFlash official sources, but Al Jean trumps both of them. lol. The Solar Dragon 13:41, July 12, 2016 (EDT)

I undid the edit as there was formatting problems. You left references next to the wrong names. As for his real name, I'm looking into it and trying to figure out the sources for the names. I'm fairly sure multiple sources, including an episode, have referred to him as Chester Turley. Therefore, that is likely the name we should keep as his main as only one episode has called him by that other name. Although, the fact that it's the latest episode to name him means we could use that as the name we use... Basically, it's confusing and it could be either name.
As for me undoing your other edits, I only undo edits if I have a good reason to do so. And if I make a mistake, feel free to talk to me about it or bring it up on the talk page of the article. I am not perfect and I can make mistakes.
Also, please sign your talk page comments with four tildes ~~~~. This will include a link to your userpage and a timestamp. Thank you, The Solar Dragon 17:56, August 25, 2016 (EDT)

Picture types

Why exactly are pictures so often changed from JPG types to PNG? --205.213.104.111 15:17, August 29, 2016 (EDT)

PNGs are higher quality than JPGs as they keep the original quality of the image whilst JPGs compress the quality. We prefer screenshots to be in PNG as a result. The Solar Dragon 15:25, August 29, 2016 (EDT)
PNG image files are definitely better quality, but in my experience JPGs are easier to obtain. Therefore, it's a very common scenario that I (for example) will be building a new article and hastily illustrate it with a JPG or two (because that's what I was able to find on short notice), but then another editor will later work on the article and put PNGs in place of the JPGs. Hope that explains it, Mr. (or Ms.) IP! :-) -- Mythigator (talk) 01:10, August 30, 2016 (EDT)
How can one access that particular type? --205.213.104.127 16:25, September 7, 2016 (EDT)
After I import screenshots into Paint, I just save them as a .png. Simple as that. The Solar Dragon 16:29, September 7, 2016 (EDT)

My bot request

WikiMonitor is based off the Scratch Wiki bot. It will be made with PHP and will do four tasks. Clearing out the sandbox every four hours, telling people if they've made a page with no categories, telling people if they've forgotten to sign their post and telling people if they've over-edited a page will be the tasks the bots will do. The definition for "too many edits" is six in an hour. Banana439monkey (talk) 13:52, October 29, 2016 (EDT)

We don't really have a problem with that sort of thing. The sandbox is rarely edited and used. Pages with no categories are hard to make since most templates add categories as well. Signing posts is sort of an issue but it's something we can easily add the unsigned templates to. There's never too many unsigned messages. And over editing pages isn't a huge issue. Sometimes, repeated edits need to be made to pages. One section at a time (like with Tapped Out character group pages). I tell people if they edit a page too much myself. It just doesn't seem that needed to me. The Solar Dragon 14:06, October 29, 2016 (EDT)

New Baby Merch Line - Made in Springfield

Hey Solar, I was looking for more new info on the Skinnydip London x Simpsons Undressed collection and instead I came across a licensing site. I found out The Simpsons will have a major baby product line in 2017 called Made in Springfield.

http://licensingsource.net/the-simpsons-baby-and-nursery-line-to-launch/

I don't know how major this will be for news, but it is something to watch. Not sure if I should make direct messages to your userpage or just on the Springfield Shopper contact page if I find any new stuff.

SchemingMinor (talk) 18:22, November 15, 2016 (EST)

We'll wait until there's more details before making any pages or articles about it. I'd like some images, some confirmed products and where to buy them before saying anything. If you can find this stuff, then articles can be made about the products. Just update me on my talk page if you find anything else. The Solar Dragon 18:26, November 15, 2016 (EST)
