I realize these Japanese entries are basically stubs at this point, Speng, but you may want to copy the base code out of a pre-existing profile and use that... like, the first instance of a name in a profile is always bolded, the divisions for Fiction and Toy, etc. --Monzo 05:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Um
...what? --Suki Brits 05:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Christ, I didn't think anybody was EVER gonna notice that. Oh, and that's an advertisement at a pizza joint here in Springfield that's been boggling the minds of pizza-lovers since the late 80's. I'm sure if the guys at TV Magazine ever got around to drawing Scrash they would've made him a little black girl. Almost positive, in fact.--DrSpengler 05:25, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Images
Hey, Spengler, I wouldn't give a shit if I couldn't see Derik freaking out over it in Recent changes, but be sure to add {{hastak}} to all of the images owned by Takara and Hasbro you upload and the specific company and date (the last part I'm not so sure about, but whatever), like on Image:PredakingTVMag1.jpg. Thanks. Thumbs up to your manga edits. Singularity 06:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- It doesnt' actually bother me that much. I was bad at it when I first started too. (the wiki still has a bunch of un-credited images from it's early days before we cracked down on adding copyright info, we fix 'em as we see 'em)
- Spengler just had a LOT, so I fixed what I could find. I think I hit about 80% of 'em, and I'm willing to call it a day.
- Go forth and sin no more my son. -Derik 06:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Not a problem. I was used to uploading pics in the regular Wikipedia, which had a drop-down bar on the uploading screen which allowed you to select specific copyright options. So when I found no such thing on this wiki I figured "Oh, guess it doesn't matter?" But yeah, not a problem. I'll start adjusting all my pics from now on. --DrSpengler 06:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you! o^.^o -Derik 07:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, just went through my entire "User Contributions" list and added the copyright info to every single picture I've posted on this wiki, so we should be square. Thanks for getting so many of em for me.--DrSpengler 07:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Notes
- Ah, Speng? You don't have to add a series title after a profile's name if the name has never been used by another character. That's why people move some of the pages you make, like Predaking, Tigerhawk, etc - there aren't any other guys with those names, so the tagging is redundant.
- Also, the point of the italics at the opening section... it's supposed to be a one-sentence thing about what continuity they're in (like "so-and-so is a (faction) during the (whatever)"). The descrptive part after that (where the name gets bolded) is not italicized.
- When all else fails, default to Sunstreaker or Hot Rod for formatting - they're our formatting example boys.
- (And, er... this is just a personal point of view, but we don't require everything to be jokey/sarcastic. Feel free to be informative without mirth.)
- I apologize if I'm being blunt about this, but I felt the points worth mentioning. --Monzo 22:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- No prob. It's taking me longer to get the hang of this than I tought. The (BWG1OCUC) crap is half me not thinking about it/half me thinking there was someone in another story with the same name. I'll hold back on those more often.
And the jokes, well, I'm just naturally a jokey kinda guy and one of the things Sipher stressed to me in the PM he sent requesting my help was "Just make em funny". If I've gone past the territoy of "funny" and into "obnoxious" I'll give it a rest, no sweat. --DrSpengler 22:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
