I was just thinking that such redirects might save people a click or two. --Maquistadora 09:43, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
Hmm... i noticed you were making alot of edits... just wonderin what you're doin cause you're not leaving any comment--Thou Shalt Perish 21:04, 2 April 2006 (CDT)
- He(or she) seems to be standardizing every item gaining adventure in the game to the Acquire Template. Just wanted to take a moment to commend you as well, Quietust....so much perserverence.--SomeStranger 21:18, 2 April 2006 (CDT)
Whoa, I didn't even see that section on Proposed Standards. Silly me. —Dentarthurdent(T,C) 22:43, 17 May 2006 (CDT)
When you do the standardisation thing (and thanks for those!), can you mark them "minor edits"... because I find it really hard to find the actual updates on Recent changes. --NewZorkBat 01:16, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
Templates
I am pretty sure that all templates and whatnot that don't have their own sections are supposed to be at the bottom of the page. --SomeStranger 16:37, 8 April 2006 (CDT)
Thanks for the help with the hilariousness - many hands make light work! --Gymnosophist 10:31, 28 April 2006 (CDT)
Very sorry about the confusion with the Booze and Booze2 templates -- I realized my error quickly, but not before you'd gotten to it. Very sorry. --Lawrence Dark 16:54, 10 June 2006 (CDT)
In the Booze template history, you wrote: Old Ned: If you've ever paid attention in-game, it DOES tell you "You gain # Drunkenness." D'oh! I was thinking of the Food template, where we use the parens because the food value is not normally displayed. My bad. Thanks for your patience. -- Old Ned 00:18, 17 June 2006 (CDT)
What do you know about conditionals in templates? I'm playing with them and got them working from Template:Pulverize to Template:CallTest but can't quite figure them all out. I've found wikipedia documentation on the subject to be really cryptic. Right now I'm playing around on Template:Test and using equipment as an example to see what would happen, but since I'm basing it on wiki code gleaned from like 10 other templates, I haven't got it right. --LucySpace 01:58, 17 June 2006 (CDT)
Links
- I assume people put underscores in links because spaces arent't allowed in URLs. I've done it myself, although I'll try not to now I know it's not policy. Since the Wiki accepts it either way It's not the end of the world, though, is it? --Evilkolbot 02:02, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
- It's a wonder i can tie my own shoelaces sometimes. They put underscores in links because that's what it links to. The page for "solid gold asshat" is called "Solid_gold_asshat" and the obvious link is [[Solid_gold_asshat|solid gold asshat]]. People don't read standards, they work it out. I have a feeling that if you're going to make this a crusade you've a great deal of work on your hands. Good luck. --Evilkolbot 02:25, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
- Technically, when you use [[ ]] to link to something, you're linking to the Name of the page, not the URL. Use [ ] to link a URL, generally one outside the wiki. Using [ ] to link a page in the wiki is considered bad style. Whenever possible, [[ ]] should be used, and no underscores are necessary, as it's the Namespace that's used to make the link, not the URL. To link to The Family Jewels page, the easy way (and the best, style-wise) is to just enclose the page's name in [[ ]], like this: The Family Jewels. If you want to change the way the name is displayed, you can use a pipe: baby-making balls. To link it via the URL: [1]. To change the display text, just write that after the URL: those jewels again. --Echan 05:35, 27 May 2006 (CDT)

KWE
Since we were the creators of the KWE fight cards I wonder if you want to continue to maintain them? We have already missed the results of tournamnet 3 and I think we may have just missed 4 as well.....should we discontinue that section?--SomeStranger (Talk | Contribs) 05:50, 21 May 2006 (CDT)
- I could help the restoration of these, if wanted, but an archive system on the kwe talk page, with only the most recent results showing would be of much beautification. I also am working on finding a way of incorporating images into {{plural}} without ruining the servers... any ideas would be appreciated.--Vimes177 17:00, 1 July 2006 (CDT)
Naming
No periods at the end of a page title? If that's the rule, ok, but I don't see any buggy behavior or reason why at the moment.--Dehstil 20:11, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
a proposal
Your contributions over the last few months have been significant and beneficial. You've worked well with the existing administration. Would you like to become part of the wiki-admin team? --jin 17:40, 28 May 2006 (CDT)
- It would be an honor and a privilege - I accept. --Quietust 19:33, 28 May 2006 (CDT)
- Congratulations! --Echan 03:50, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

My bad. I was being inattentive. --LucySpace (Talk|Cntrb) 16:09, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
MP
Actually, I was just wondering why the MP template talk page was messed up.--Dehstil (T | C) 15:26, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
Breathetastic
ha.. you were editing breathetastic about the wads right as i was editing it. i didnt wanna create a talk page for breathetastic so ill just post what i wrote as a "suggestion". Doesn't really matter but i felt i didnt want what i wrote that to go to waste. :P
- With the introduction of the Pulverize skill, Twinkly and Elemental wads are now the third spleen item that gives adventures. Now that the astronaut ice-cream is unavailable, the Wads are the only spleen item that gives adventures other than Breathetastic™ Premium Canned Air.
Plural Template
For the 7 or so items in the game that are oddly capitalized I suggest we just put versions of them in the plural template that use incorrect lowercase capitalization so that we can just use lc: to make it all lowercase.--SomeStranger (t|c) 12:29, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
- You mean lcfirst? like I originally had it? or completely lowercase?--Dehstil (t|c) 14:10, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
- Now that I think about it, lcfirst: would be better. Then we could have the items that have capitals defined twice. Once with a capital and once without.--SomeStranger (t|c) 14:47, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
- I'd prefer some means of catching singular names that aren't correctly capitalized, just so people capitalize them correctly everywhere. It wouldn't even be that difficult to do - just look up the plural form (which is done already), and if it returns "UNKNOWN ITEM" (or whatever it returns when you give it something it doesn't know), then just have it display an error for the singular form as well. This could probably be done within Template:Plural/autolink easily enough. The only side effect is that it would break a few people's user pages that use the Acquire template with items that don't exist in the game, but I really don't see that as a problem (since these templates aren't really meant to be used for non-game content anyways). --Quietust 15:19, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

- I suggested once that new standards and stuff should be announced somewhere. Perhaps it could be done with the plural project.--Dehstil (t|c) 20:32, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
Elements
Ooh, nice coloured links. I completely forgot about hte colour. --Someone Else 15:29, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
