Congrats on your Sysoption
I've appointed you to Sysop, as there is a vacant position because of my leave of absence. I hope you enjoy the job. :) &mdash;Tanaric 15:40, 30 November 2006 (CST)

 * So you should be, your talk page is on my watchlist! :P See now I have to punish you, I've just noticed that the crazy person who uploaded your sig icon made it one pixel too high and it's wrecking my talk pages line spacing! --Xasxas256 23:47, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Yours is on mine as well, I'm just not very observant and tend to dart to the bottom of talk pages to see whats new. And...ummm...weren't you the crazy person who uploaded my sig icon?  If so feel free to shrink it one pixel if its size is a problem.  Its the least I can do after not noticing your greatness for so long :P. (walks away trying to think of how big a pixel is and if shrinking it will have any visible affect on the sig)&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  23:53, 28 December 2006 (CST)

 * This is cool, people keep randomly thanking me. Hopefully I can stretch this out to Easter! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * I have no idea of what is going on. But, seems like everyone is congratulating you. So, seeing you were the only one who cared to post on my old talk page (58.24.194.160 it was about moving a section of a talk page but oh well im so happy now), I'm going to have to say Congratulations. :D Nova 07:16, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Help Request
er... I was wondering if it'd be possible to clean up some of the pages that I've edited but don't want to mess things up more. It's in the Discussion sections of the Build:Team - "Steel Wall" Deep Group and Build:Team - Barrage/Pet (Tomb Ruins). Pae 15:21, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * I've answered your queries on the talk pages of those two articles ;) --Xasxas256 00:52, 2 December 2006 (CST)


 * uhhh, i kinda made a bunch of redirects of this build, i was putting in wrong places and stuff, and then i thought deleting the content would delete the page, so there are a bunch of blank pages, i was hoping you could delete them for me--Uagathy101 03:38, 14 January 2007 (CST)


 * No worries, "Vigorous Signet", "Build:W/Mo", "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" and "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" have been deleted ;) --Xasxas256 04:32, 14 January 2007 (CST)

How to rename images? Found an NPC which had been incorrectly spelt (see Watchman Bencis), read through wiki help doco and learnt how to move the article to effect a "rename" of the article, however, have not been able to find how to do similar for images. Don't want to simply re-upload the original image and have the old deleted, as that would be unfair to the original "author" of the image, and figure there has to be a way, so better to learn the proper way than do some nasty workaround. :) --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 21:00, 1 March 2007 (CST)


 * The info box has a way to specify an image name other than the default - I updated the article you referenced, take a look at the code to see how I linked it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:03, 1 March 2007 (CST)


 * Thanks "Xasxas" :D Yeah, thought about doing what you did, but decided against it as it left an inconsistency, (ie, article and image name not match up). Am getting the impression there is no ability to renaming images at this time? --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:23, 1 March 2007 (CST)
 * Users and Sysops can't ... there may be a way for those with database access to rename them (ie: Fyren and LordBiro), but my guess is that it's not a trivial thing to change ... which is all the long way of saying, no method to rename images that I'm aware. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:22, 1 March 2007 (CST)
 * /wave It's 15 minutes till I start the weekend, that's all I've got! --Xasxas256 23:37, 1 March 2007 (CST)
 * 14... 13... 12... 11... (not that anyone's counting right!?), ok, was not meaning having to "hack" the wiki-db, couldn't find anything on the wiki-help pages either, so surprisingly, yes, seems there is no way currently to rename images. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:32, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Dye images
I recently upgraded the dye images to .png and all uniform size, style, etc (see User:Bexor/Sandbox for comparisons between the old ones and my new ones). I slapped delete tags on the old ones because most of them are crappy and the new .pngs can be used in a lot more situations (coloured bgs like on user pages plus they resize a loot nicer). Now the only page linking to them is my sandbox, so no probs right? EXCEPT GRAY DYE. D:

It's on 20 million pages!! I don't mind editing them all separately but it's so much, can you use robots to do it? I like robots. :D

So what should I do? I can go ahead and do them all - they are all merchant articles - but I wanted "official" advice first. ;D

Plus it's fun to stalk ya. - BeXoR   04:03, 2 December 2006 (CST)   (I'm joking rly don't call police).
 * huh? Last I looked, while the jpg format loses some resolution due to compression, it resized better than png on the wiki - while could be fixed with the right add-in, but as far as I know, it was never added.  In the past on the wiki, png has always tended to pixelate more and lose crispness faster than jpg when resized. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:18, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * edit: I just looked into the Dye article. Myself, I prefer the jpg format.  Less pixelation in the reduced size images. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:23, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * Sooooo we're leaving it for now? Does this mean I can go back to watching the cricket? :P --Xasxas256 19:50, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * I still much prefer the new ones, as they are more flexible now, and plus they match. The reason they are looking so pixelly is probably because of the way I cut the image. I will work on fixing it later on (doing xmas shopping today). If I fail completely I'll resave them all as jpg. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 21:14, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * The pixellation is a result of the images being png format. Check other resized png images, most will do that.  I've even seen some resized png images mangle the color assignments.  It's a limitation of the image rendering done by the wiki software, and is a problem that has been known for a long time (this is a large part of the reason that all skill icons are jpg and not png on the wiki).  An add-in exists that can allow png images to display better, but it doesn't appear to have been installed on the wiki as yet.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:36, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * I just added this at Image talk:BlackDye.jpg; but the conversation is fragmented, so I'll post it here too:
 * Note #7 under "Rule of Thumb" in GW:IMAGE: 7. Use JPEG format for most images, PNG files do not scale well in this Wiki, and GIF files are usually of too low a quality.  This is the same reason that we use jpg for skill icons as those get resized in some uses. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 10:44, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well that sucks. :( I'll fix up the jpgs so they look better, but it might be a couple of days away. Christmas time is.. ARGH! I decided I'm doing the table setting and it ended up costing a lot more than I thought and two of the things I couldn't buy so I'm making them. :S That's me, always over-zealous. Well, at least the .pngs are nice for userpages with coloured backgrounds. That's why I made them. :/ - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 01:28, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Block of User:83.135.153.128
I think you shouldn't have removed the offensive comment from User talk:Dralspire. (Maybe consor the offensive words, but not remove the comment alltogether.) I think in such cases it is better to comment and stated that (and why) the IP has been banned. And by the way: I think a 3 day ban was MUCH too mild for an offense like that. Make it 3 months, at least. -- 06:30, 12 December 2006 (CST)

Same guy as Special:Contributions/83.135.160.171 &mdash; Skuld 06:32, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * I actually saw that user's comment at the time but we don't have a blocking policy anymore to follow so I wasn't really sure. I look the IP up it seems like it's shared (that's how I interpret Dynamic Pool) so who knows when it'll be someone else's IP. When the ban tag was added I figured I should move on it. I consider 3 months too long because the IP will surely change hands in that time but 3 days is probably too short, the only thing in the persons favour was no prior history (or at least not from that IP address).


 * As for the comment removal, it was just done manually, not using admin tools. That was done as a courtesy, me acting as a user not an admin, same as I would have done a month ago pre sysoping. The comment didn't just use foul language, there was no point to it. If it asked a valid question in unacceptable language I'd probably have censored it as you say, but that was just puerile.


 * Just read Skuld's post, I guess that's the problem with dynamic IPs. --Xasxas256 06:42, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Edit: Obviously I should have written this...what do you guys think, I'm a new admin and would like to know your thoughts!!! --Xasxas256 06:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Another one offering advice. I use the thought, ban however long you deem is appropriate. The factors I look at are whether it's a dynamic IP addresses, the severity of the vandalism, and what kind of mood I'm in ;) I don't think any of the admins actually ban the same way, so it's kind of a learning thing, just don't accidently ban me :P &mdash; Gares 07:19, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Woo hoo I can't lose! I can be a Rouge admin now! Actually ever since I've been sysoped I've always wondered what would happen if I banned myself... --Xasxas256 07:44, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * That would be interesting :p unblock me &mdash; Skuld 07:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Ha ha ha, I guess you can block yourself!!! I didn't know if it'd work. --Xasxas256 07:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)



Hmm, now theres a dilema.. &mdash; Skuld 08:04, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * That is odd! Check this out:


 * That was from Special:Ipblocklist. You can see I clicked the unblock link then decided I'd let you stay blocked :P --Xasxas256 08:09, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'll let you admin guys work out the technical issues with banning. ;) I just wanted to add: Editing out offensive comments makes little sense on a wiki, because it's all saved in the history. Removing a comment on a user talk page causes two problems: 1) It violates the basic policy that nobody should edit somebody else's statements on talk page. Editorial content may be edited mercyless, but not talk pages. 2) It confuses the user. He will receive a notification "You have new messages.", but when he checks, he finds no message. Now, if he's familiar with wikimedia he will look up the history of his talk page to find out what's going on, so he will read the message anyway. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 08:29, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Maybe I should have used an admin one click revert. I basically considered it vandalism, same if someones talk page was blanked by a vandal I would have restored it. To me it wasn't a legitimate comment it was just vandalism. I didn't consider that "You have new messages" box though and I wonder if a one click admin revert would have stopped that from coming up. --Xasxas256 14:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Personally I think 3 days is more than enough. Depending on the ISP an hour ban would be enough! I wouldn't have removed the comment. I would have replied, and possibly censored the comment. But you are right, it was pretty much vandalism, so you aren't in the wrong for deleting it. I think you did fine Xasxas :)  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 15:07, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * Edit conflict
 * The admin revert should still leave the notice, although I haven't tested it (feel free to post on my talkpage, then revert it - I'll let you know if the message shows).
 * If this had been a first occurance, I likely would've responded that unprovoked personal attacks are grounds for administrative action being taken (replying both to the original post, as well as on the author's talk). But, in this case, I'm the one who reverted the edit at Guide to evolving a Dire Pet, and would've recalled the edit by the other IP - so I would've likely just struck out the comment, added the comment about unprovoked personal attacks, then banned him for a few days to a week (appears dynamic IP, so no huge benefit for longer).  I have no objections to reverting it either, though.  My main thought is on the message notice to the user who has the space.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:14, 12 December 2006 (CST)

 * When you move an article, a redirect tag is put in it's place. Yes, you'll have to place a delete tag on each redirect. Welcome to the world of crusading. &mdash; Gares 00:58, 22 December 2006 (CST)

 * Seems ok to me, although you might want to remove the comments (e.g. <-- leave blank if unknown, do not omit), people normally copy/paste those and we probably don't need them in the actual template. --Xasxas256 06:33, 23 December 2006 (CST)

 * explains it but basically the ladder is meaningless now, you won't get much rating from them. It's all about "Daily Automated Tournaments" now meaning any guild that like GvG but it's really serious is going to find it hard because they've got to get 8 players all ready to go at the scheduled time. Because we're in the US servers we're probably going to have to play at 5AM or something... ;( --Xasxas256 03:05, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * Ya I read that but it said something about "all time zones". I wonder if they just mean US time zones. I wonder if the schedule is allocated to a guild or if the matches are held every 15 mins or something. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 03:08, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * I dunno but I'm feeling very glass is half empty at the moment, I don't like the sound of it all. --Xasxas256 08:18, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * Wow. My Internet just went down, and now, all these things start popping up. o.0 What's this about ths new GvG? Is it permanant? And, how did Wintersday go? -- Chuck 20:48, 25 December 2006 (CST)
 * It sounds permanent, the ladder is supposed to reset for the last time on Jan 1st. From then on GvG is based around tournaments, I'm not sure how the scheduling will work yet but if we to play at times that suit Americans because I'm on the Yank server it's going to very very for GvGing in Australia. We'll have to wait and see though I guess. The worst thing is that if you join a new guild you have to wait 30 days before you can ener a tourney with them. Goodbye non hardcore GvGers I guess, guilds are only going to want core players and recruiting will be very difficult. The ELO ladder system was one of the best things about Guild Wars in my opinion, I don't know why that had to tinker with it. --Xasxas256 04:22, 26 December 2006 (CST)

image size
I was just looking at the recent changes list and User:Bobit is adding a lot of new images, although they look nice and are good quality they are 300kb each, some of them. These are just images for the beast articles. They also have quite a bit of background in them. -- Xeon 09:43, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Nah you were right the first time, I planned on going to the cricket tomorrow but the test finished today so instead of getting an early night in preperation for a day at the cricket, I'm instead up late being made too look like a fool by Skuld and trying to explain this to you!! (Which is probably making us both look foolish :P ) --Xasxas256 10:23, 28 December 2006 (CST)

 * Edit conflict: Ironically with an edit asking me to do more! It's a bit of a long explanation my guild the short version is that it's a PvP guild founded by members of a GvG guild that used to be allied with AuS. Why do you ask? Are you looking for a guild? --Xasxas256 10:32, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Offesive comments
On User talk:Rapta Skuld not only said i make "stupidass comments" but countinued to make fun of me and be offesive. I find it very horrid and hypocritical that you ignore his horrible behavoir simply beacuse he has admin power. He seems to never stop in making fun of me, my builds, and my intelligence.--TheDrifter 22:08, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Drifter: If you're interested, I answered on Skulds talk page. Although you haven't acted like you should have (judging from the different talk pages I have watched), it seems to me that Skuld isn't completely innoscent. I'm not accusing anyone of anything as I haven't research all of the events, but you can be sure that no injustice is done. If you have violated the wiki policies and understand that it was wrong, you might get a small ban. The same goes for Skuld. Otherwise it's just politics, discussion and more discussion. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Given that the he was responding to your comment: Honestly, who made you an admin? Your mother? You and SkuldJR (Rapta) are two of the biggest jerks to me on this wiki. I'm not entirely sure you have a leg to stand on. What Skuld said wasn't particularly nice but what you said was a offensive and direct personal attack. I'm not sure where he's continued to make fun of you though. You behaviour seems to have developed a pattern of personal attacks against Skuld and Rapta. Skuld's comment was more in the mould of a one off expression of mild exasperation to something pretty nasty being said about him. I also don't see any abuse of admin power being committed by Skuld but I'm happy to look into anything that is brought to my attention. --Xasxas256 22:25, 28 December 2006 (CST)

I said they were jerks to me. And I never called anyone an ass, he called me an ass a "stupidass" infact.--TheDrifter 22:29, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Aw, man. You called me SkuldJR. That's pretty offensive, but I'll let it slide. =) &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:30, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'd think you'd be flatterd. If I don't get banned over voicing my concerns about Skuld being above the rules I'll be sure to make you a userbox.--TheDrifter 22:34, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * It's pretty hard to be Skuld Jr., seeing as he's so young already. Just pointing out the obvious. Entropy 22:35, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Copyrighted images
What is to be done when someone is uploading copyrighted images? I've reverted them so far, but I'm beginning to think a revision deletion is more in place. &mdash; Galil  08:14, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Addition: Example, some of these images are copied straight from the collector's edition art books. &mdash; Galil  08:15, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Yet another addition: It seems those images were also from the various Fansite Kits, but the question still remains as what one should do if a copyrighted image was to pop up. &mdash; Galil  09:45, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Thankyou
Thanks for taking action in regards to User:Fable Warlord. I really appreciate it...the situation was starting to get just a little weird and out of hand. I wish you admins didn't have to deal with such things so much, though...but I guess it's part of the job, and the Wiki is better for it. Again, thank yous :) Entropy 07:28, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * Good job handling this one. I think your ban notice and duration were just what they should have been. I also looked at other contributions of the user and he should really think twice (or thrice maby) before posting stuff on talk pages. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:47, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * No worries guys, as I said to Gem once, becoming an admin hasn't been the life changing thing I thought it'd be, it's just more work! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)


 * Ofcourse it isn't making a lot of difference. Just a few extra tools, some more things you must do and possibly some more respect from others. But don't you feel usefull now? :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:25, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Im going to be off gw for a few days, my computer has taken a turn for the worst suddenly and my cpu is running 100% with the smallest tasks.

I did when it was first released, after that I lost interest. My information is therefor old, and if someone is saying elsewise with more recent testing, I defer to them.

 * LOL! I would use the solid ice heart, but I'm afraid Gem might think I'm trying to steal his.  As for the background color, I was trying to go with something like the color of a darkened (powered down) monitor for it.  If you have a different color to suggest Bexor (but not a color already used for a title box background), please do.  --Rainith 20:34, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * I dont know what the title background is, but I think #669999 looks nicer because it isn't as contrasty with the first box. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 20:39, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Have you seen the Unlucky box? You can't get much more of a contrast then black and white.  :P  I'll try to see if I can find a different color (I'm not a fan of #669999 for this box).  --Rainith 20:54, 10 January 2007 (CST)

I check Category:Candidates for banning pretty regularly but for something urgent I'll probably notice something on an admins talk page first, I've got all the active admins on my watchlist and I'd image they they've done the same. Sorry I didn't mean to write to much, in short for major/mass vandalism use  and hit the most recently active admin's talk page, otherwise just  is probably fine ;) --Xasxas256 08:29, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Perm link and deletion?
Here to bug you again >.>. I think that it's a bit of a dumb question, but you never know. When a page is deleted, does the 'Permanent link' still link to it? And if not, what's the permanent link for? To find easily find something if it's moved? Thanks :) ~ Pae 22:45, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * It's a link to that particular version of a page. If the page is deleted, it won't be available.  --Fyren 22:48, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * You can create a permanent link yourself by going to the history and choosing a particular revision. It just grabs that article, how it looked at a particular point in time. As Fyren said, it won't work if the article is deleted. Wikipedia has a bit more on it. --Xasxas256 22:54, 7 February 2007 (CST)

I'm just putting this here, since I'm not sure whether we are allowed to edit other people's userpages. In General Help at number 3, it has "GuildWiki:User questions can is used as a Question/Answer forum." Should the be be instead of is?

 * GW:SIGN The users signature may include one small icon. - <font color=#3E7A90> B e X or [[Image:Bexor.png]]  09:51, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Not the user signature like 2 normal pictures next to each other on same line -- "Wings" 16:35, 26 February 2007 (CST)




 * No, he was telling you something. Your signature is in violation of site policy. Per GW:SIGN, the users signature may include one small icon. The icon's image file should not be larger than 50 pixels wide x 19 pixels tall.
 * On your question, remove the "thumb" and "center" tags. A "px" tag can be used to resize to a given number of pixels.




 * Let me know if that doesn't clear it up. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:43, 26 February 2007 (CST)

WTF? is a subset, i always see you saying you must subset this (i.e. always a sig needs to be subset i see you saying)? -- "Wings" 07:02, 5 March 2007 (CST)
 * I believe you're referring to "subst". This means substitute I believe. Basically it means to use the wiki mechanics of subst (e.g. Zampani ) on something so that when a page is loaded it doesn't have to link to another page for it's content. For example, template:unsigned is used to identify comments that have not been signed. When using this template it is appropriate to subst it so that there are not hundreds (if not thousands) of pages that all load that template. If they all were forced to load it, I believe it would cause major performance issues. In the context of a signature, it's much the same. Some people use advanced signatures, so must subst it in order to not cause other problems on the wiki. --Zampani 10:55, 5 March 2007 (CST)

 * There's a lot of templates we subst because if you don't, when you make a change to the template the wiki has to update every page that the template has been included on. When you subst it, is basically copies the code so it's static and if the template changes, it doesn't update every page. --Xasxas256 19:19, 5 March 2007 (CST)

AOL Range Block
Given that we just received a whole lotta vandalism from a range of 195.93.21.x addresses, I blocked a that range. Special:Contributions/195.93.21.10, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.35, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.104, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.37, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.2, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.137, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.98, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.38, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.70, Special:Contributions/195.93.21.3 all vandalised various articles. But I'm a bit worried that I may have blocked a massive amount of AOL users. Do we have some policy/tool that we use here? --Xasxas256 17:54, 10 March 2007 (CST)
 * doesn't wikipedia block unauthenticated AOL edits? sounds reasonable to me. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 18:00, 10 March 2007 (CST)
 * Reading Wikipedia:AOL it sounds like AOL proxies which use the X-Forwarded-For header are fine but any that don't are blocked. So most AOL users should be able to edit Wikipedia without problems but I'm not sure how the GWiki works with X-Forwarded-For headers. --Xasxas256 18:04, 10 March 2007 (CST)
