Job queue graph
Could you please copy the "Embed code for graph:" for your Job queue graph to MediaWiki:job queue graph? That would let us embed the graph on wiki pages, like this: job queue graph

Clean up after yourself :P
You forgot to check. You should do a bot run to update them to File:Lightbringer.jpg. (I can't run AWB at work due to firewall.) &mdash;Dr Ishmael  15:44, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks - have ran the bot, Wikia still hasn't sorted the AWB problems, and this database dump is old. --  Random Time  17:29, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can copy the list from the WLH page to a text editor, find/replace to remove the '(image link) (← links)' stuff, then paste it directly into AWB's list panel. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 17:41, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can, but the links on WLH don't have the image on them in these cases, as I've already delinked them --  Random Time  17:47, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * Heh, I was attempting to see (by example) if there was any way to get a template to subst: itself. As I thought, it was impossible --  Random Time  18:42, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia's image fail
Deleting and reuploading won't work, I've tried it before. Wikia keeps the thumbnails around even after an image is deleted, and if they persisted before, they'll continue to persist when you upload a "brand-new" image. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:30, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

centre looks neater IMO. A lot of the right content space isn't being used
[ Centered] looks fine, but of course, there won't be that much room for right content space after 3 November ;-) &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:04, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * You forget that this content gets moved (if we can). But generally, yes, that table looks fine in Oasis. -- ◄mendel► 23:31, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!
As AFK User_talk:Felix_Omni pointed out, nobody has thanked you yet for all your trouble and time. As I support the move, I would like the thank you. Thank you!one1 Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:56, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Eeerrrrh, I have to admid something; I saw your birthday on the @Wikia. I am really ashamed, but since the watchlist birthday template doesn't work (for me) I had to go over there, and take a peek.
But, none of that matters, cause IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!11!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!111 Also, you happy now? I coulnd't make the headline any longer.... Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 07:55, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the template is broken because the string functions are limited here; that's being fixed, hopefully, because it breaks other things as well. --◄mendel► 15:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

==To the person who post above me, I would like to note the following: (That is assuming, that you would eventually check this, in which case it is highly doubtful because this is not in fact your userpage, so in which case you never see this, feel free to ignore it, however if you do see this, following message is for you, Arnout, and for your eyes only, that's right Randomtime, do not read this section, it's for Arnout, not you.), oh wait, also happy birthday.== See header.--Łô√ë îğá †ħŕášħ 08:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Giga, how'd you do that? I coulnd cramp any more letters in the header? I'm using Chrome. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 09:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Don't use the "new section" form. Just edit the page normally and type your own header.  (Notice that [ Giga's edit] didn't produce a "New section: /* bla bla */" edit summary - it used your header because he edited that section.)  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:14, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Protip: use "new section", ignore the header input box, and make your own header anyway (as in a normal edit window). Also, happy birthday². --◄mendel► 15:14, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, if I had asked you four days ago to kindly revert yourself on [ this edit], would you have done it? --◄mendel► 15:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you were in the dicussion when that had heppened, then I think it would have turned out differently - and so I doubt I'd have done it. If you'd had asked me after the fact, and presented your points, then I'd have also reverted --  Random <font color="Orange">Time  21:07, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your prompt and straightforward reply. For clarification, I take "I doubt I'd have done it" to mean that you would not have made your edit in the first place? --◄mendel► 22:27, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

It still wasn't working because you had the open-comment tag backwards as well. /* Asterisks go inside the slashes, like this. */ &mdash;Dr Ishmael  13:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * What the hell why [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 00:58, 13 January 2011 (UTC)


 * To be fair, anyone contributing here is an unpaid minion of Curse and everyone contributing at GW@W are also unpaid minions. Curse, at least in theory, has offered to compensate the wiki by allowinh it to be hosted without unduly imposing requirements. Wikia, in contrast (as I have noted many times) no longer offers free hosting for wikis.


 * And, to be fair, if folks are going to contribute at all, it's good that they have ppls like RT volunteering to protect their efforts (as part of the Volunteer Spam & Tardiness Patrol). That an undeserving, ham-fisted, Dilbertesque, corporate ycch like Wikia benefits is, alas, an unfortunate side-effect. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I havn't sold out, I'm still RT, just RT who can help out at wikis and block spammers, I don't lose any part of my ablility to criticise Wikia, or anything like that. --  Random <font color="Orange">Time  07:16, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

How does it feel to be a Wikia tool?
I am referring to this, of course: the wiki community in the shape of a bureaucrat/admin (demoted by MS Manley for redirected pages to encourage users to move to another wiki) decided to redirect some pages to a blog page in order to alert contributors that this wiki is no longer maintained, comparable to pvxwiki. I have looked at the discussion on the blog, and there doesn't seem to be community consensus to undo the redirects - it's not in the community interest, but in Wikia's interest to have them reverted.

Where is your "I'm VSTF, I'm helping communities" stance that you had before? You're shilling for Wikia interests and walking over the community. (If you can point me to some community consensus that I've overlooked, I'll happily apologize.) --◄mendel► 20:12, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * If you accept, Mendel, as you have, that Wikia has the right to force a fork (rather than allow a move), I don't see how it's unreasonable that Wikia revert any attempt to end-run that policy by hiding or nerfing existing content. PvX@Wikia doesn't redirect every piece of content to a single page; it uses a site-announcement that points to the gwpvx.


 * I stopped contributing to Wikia partly because I strongly disagree with their stance that the content belongs to them and cannot be moved out of their domain. But I don't see anything inappropriate about RT's actions: as long as Wikia allows site notices and/or a template reminding ppls that the page/site isn't well-maintained and where the original contributors can be found, I think they are being as fair to the community as they know how. When communities decided that they were best served by moving, Wikia didn't allow it. The corporation has made a distinction between community and content; redirects bypass the content.


 * Accordingly, RT is no more a shill for Wikia's interests than you are for actively supporting GW@Wikia. Since I would assume you don't believe yourself to be a corporate tool, I think you already owe RT an apology. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
