Just want you to know, if it seems to be aggressive, I don't intend fr it to be that way. I'm really still annoyed and just want an apology. 13:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There, uh, WAS an apology. You seem to have missed it. 13:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Of course. Link plz. 13:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It's on the same page you posted your request for an apology at. 13:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine. Oh, can I use that box? 13:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sure; it's not like I copyrighted it or anything. :P 13:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Just making sure, i find it wrong to take something that i didn't make, especially if it's pretty good. 13:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * 'Tis cool. Remember, anything on the Wiki is released under the GNU license, so anyone ever could take it if they wanted. I didn't come up with it anyway; a lot of talk pages on Wikipedia have a similarly-styled box. It's where I got the idea. :P 17:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I making this box into a template. I've actually been working on it for the last hour or two. I am about to save it. It might have bugs in it so don't use it until I can work them out. 17:15, July 1, 2008 (UTC)


 * This make take a while. So no one use it until I get it working. I'll tell you when it is done. 17:21, July 1, 2008 (UTC)

It is done. Ando, I added it to your page here. I hope you don't mind. 18:00, July 1, 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome work, sir, as always. 18:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's something I found out when making this: When using #switch or #ifeq, the variable being called must have a pipe (or |) in it to work properly. Like this:
 * If you don't put that in, it won't work right. So always remember that the variable(value with three curly brackets on each side) that is right after the colon must have a pipe after the number. When I tried going without the pipes in the Archives template, it would show every single possible link for an option, even if those fields were blank. So make sure that you guys remember the pipes when you make these kind of scripts. 18:38, July 1, 2008 (UTC)

Merging Topics
I think some pages have gotten a little unnecessary as there is little information on them. They should be merged with similar pages. For example, the Helmasaur and the Helmasaurus pages are separate pages. However, the Helmasaurus is nothing more than a larger Helmasaur, not to mention there is hardly any description of the Helmasaurus.  9:50, 1 July 2008 (EST)


 * Yeah, but they're different enemies. 13:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking, keeping the two seperate name on the enemies page, but having Helasaurus link to the bottom of the Helmasaur page, or is that not possible? 9:57, 1 July 2008 (EST)


 * They are similar enemies, yes, and I do agree that they should be merged. If you want to suggest that several pages be merged together, use the Merge template. The instructions on how to use it are on that page. ;) 17:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Featured Content Sections
I was thinking about something. I seems that Seablue254 was thinking along the same lines. We don't need the edit section tags near the support and oppose things do we? But it would be nice to keep them by the others. Do the support and oppose templates have to make section headings? We should go into the templates and remove them. Everyone agree? 16:05, July 1, 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. 16:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree as well, otherwise we'll have to scroll all the way down to find the place to edit, so we should just remove the ones next to the support and opposition sections.  12:24, July 1, 2008 (EST)


 * I agree fully. I'll go into the templates and edit them (they're protected). 17:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Wait a minute, they don't have the [edit] signs next to them. They did before, didn't they? 17:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes that worked. Before they were there. The edit signs were next to them. People would click on them and they would go to the wrong place. It is all good now. 17:56, July 1, 2008 (UTC)


 * What worked? What I did? I only edited one of the templates (the support one). The oppose template I left untouched, and yet no [edit] link. ??? 18:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if it works. We might as well just accept good fortune. It could be because all the support ones are placed before the oppose templates. The effect must just roll on over to the next one.:P 18:26, July 1, 2008 (UTC)

Redirecting Templates
Remember me saying that if a template that is a redirect it will still function? Well I just came up with a practical application of this feature. The featured content templates, the ones that are summaries of a featured article or image, are all doubled. Instead of having two identical ones for each, we can just make the second one a redirect. This way, only one needs to be edited to fix a mistake, we don't have to copy and paste the entire summary each time, and it makes it easier to change them. So if we want to reorganize them, we only need to edit half as many templates. Sound like a good idea? 07:00, July 2, 2008 (UTC)


 * A very good idea, sir. Speaking of which, I should probably set the Featured Article back to rotation. 15:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What about the featured pictures? That is long overdue. 16:11, July 2, 2008 (UTC)


 * You know, set the images to cycle. 16:46, July 2, 2008 (UTC)

Right. I guess there wasn't really a big rush, and there really still isn't considering we don't need another slot yet. Once we do, though, then will be the time to work it. 16:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Doubly...
Dammit, you fixed it! I was just about to make an ironic comment about the endless-redirect-cycle you'd created ;) 17:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry. While I was going through those I was thinking to myself "Remember to fix template 33. Remember to fix template 33." By the time I got there I had forgotten. :P 18:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know what the hell is going on, and therefore, i'll leave it to you. 20:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Names
This is a little off-topic. But translating my name into Japanese Romanji gives Matto. Weird. Translating Adam gives Adamu. Translating David gives Debiddo. Ando, I'm not sure, but am I close in saying that you are using the shortened form of Andoryuu? I can't find anything online that converts Romanji to English, so I don't think that I'm giving away your name here. It makes sense. If I'm right I'll make sure not to tell anyone what it means. 07:34, July 2, 2008 (UTC)


 * Yup. Given that I'm learning Japanese, it was only a matter of time before learning that Andrew -> Andoryuu. The thing is, アンドリュウ is obscenely long, especially when you consider that it's six characters as opposed to the usual Japanese 2 for their first name (tack on my 4-character last name and I've got a 10-character name rather than the Japanese 4!). Therefore, I typically shorten it to アンド, unless I just absolutely need the full spelling for some reason. 15:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm pretty sure that the hurricane had nothing to do with it given that I was born a year before it hit. :P


 * Lolwut? Debiddo? Sounds like my aunt's name! 15:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, a 4 letter last name? Wonder how long a 7 letter one would be... 15:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No, no, my last name when converted to a Japanese pronunciation is 4 characters. And I was wrong, actually, I just remembered that it's actually 5 characters. Even longer. D: 15:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) May I have this translator.
 * 2) How long is your English last name? 15:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

1) Not sure what translator Matt's using, but online translators for last names are extremely unreliable. And heck, if they don't have a set database for first names, that's unreliable, too. I was once told that my name was pronounced Anderebu. Yeah, that's not correct? 2) Eight letters. Japanese forms its pronunciation as just that: pronunciation. They don't go based off of the spelling. They just make it however long it needs to be to get as close to the same pronunciation as possible. 15:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, apparantly most last names have an average of 7-9 letters :) 15:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The hurricane thing was a hint to your name. It was right. I'm using the Google translator to convert to Japanese. And this to convert to Romanji. I didn't think you'd go out and say your name. I guess it is out now. Well the first three letters are the same either way. My last name is un-translatable. It is a German name. My parents tell be it means "brick laying man". 16:11, July 2, 2008 (UTC)

Your last name is untranslatable by machine. :P Any last name can be "translated" (it's not really translation, it's pronunciation-alteration). And hey, why not say my name? Everyone else has by this point, and it's not like Andrew's so uncommon a name that any stalker can track me with it. Heck, my Boy Scout troop had, like, 5 other Andrews in it at one point. I think we're down to three now. 16:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * True. I used to have a friend named Andrew in preschool. Maybe it could be you :o 16:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There was an Andrew in the class that graduated before me. I've got a brother-in-law named David. I'm going to be gone for the next few hours. See you later! 16:46, July 2, 2008 (UTC)


 * @Sea: Doubt that. Never actually went to a preschool. :P
 * @Matt: Well, considering that we graduated in the same year, I'd also say that it's probably not me. 16:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Dammit, I remind him of a brother in alw. Don't brother in laws suck? 20:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Blockedtext
Would you mind adding the Chatroom as an option to for a blocked user to contest the block on the Blocked text page? The paragraph should go something like this:


 * You can contact $1 or another administrator to discuss the block. You can either use the Chatroom or the 'email this user' feature. You cannot use the 'email this user' feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it.

Sound good? 06:39, July 5, 2008 (UTC)

Completions Table
Is this where you got yours? He also has an outdated subpage. Thoughts? 00:47, July 6, 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah it is, actually. :P I also saw that subpage just a few minutes ago. Not sure what to do with it. It's outdated and really serving no purpose, and Ian isn't even around here anymore. I think that it could stand to be deleted. I'll probably end up doing that sometime within the next few days (got a looooot of edits that got backed up that I need to patrol). 01:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It is funny. Even though this is the original source, all of our completions tables now look a little different. Well, ZeldaGirl96 will make hers different when she has the time. I used the overflow thing because of the huge size of my page. It might not be necessary on yours or ZeldaGirl96's. At least we can finally have the full source for it. As I said before, I'll let anyone copy the template from my page without requiring them cite me as a source. Three people have taken it from my page. Adam was polite about it, as was ZeldaGirl96. There was another that said above it, "I stolez this" I believe. I'm not sure why that person spelled stoles, which itself is the wrong use the word, with a "z". Another table is on a userpage, but seems to have come directly from your page. I'm rambling aren't I? :P Yeah, I didn't realize I actually played that many games over the years until I filled out my table. I took me a while to remember exactly how many times I played each game. These are only the Zelda games too. With all the other games I have played I think I have actually spent over a year of my life playing games. So assuming an average game time of 40 hours, I guessing here, over about two hundred and fifty play-throughs of all my games, that is over four hundred day's worth of game time. Wow! I didn't realize that until now. Good thing I had one of those good brain memory storage thingies that enabled me to get better grade without studying than those that did study! I'm serious. And I could be rambling! :P. I like my brain when it does all the work for me! :P It is great! Yes it does fail me sometimes, but it didn't do that very much in school! 01:38, July 6, 2008 (UTC)


 * I almost forgot MARKOL! Yep, he is using the table properly. That is good. 01:41, July 6, 2008 (UTC)

I Can Relate

 * I know what you're going through. I had a cousin that had tumors. But it went bad. They just spread everywhere. Nothing could be done. She had a daughter. I really hope that you get better luck. She had that really aggressive malignant melanoma. As far as nausea and illness goes, there was this one time I was sick with the flu. Technically I think I was the first one to have it that season in my state, but we didn't report it. The first recorded case was three weeks after I got better. This started on Sept. 18, 2006. I had only a mild headache and for some reason I decided to check my temperature. It was 104°F (40°C)! That day was our homecoming parade day. I rested for two days then with nothing but the high fever and a slight headache. Then as the third day came, the four days of living hell began. I was vomiting every fifteen or thirty minutes on average. I had a constant migraine that literally felt like there was a drill going to my head. And because of those two things I wasn't able to sleep for more than twenty minutes at a time. I think I only got four hours of sleep the whole time. Because of the frequent vomiting, I got severely dehydrated and didn't eat anything at all, and no medications would stay down long enough to be effective. I don't know why I wasn't hospitalized. But my mother is a really good nurse so that might have made a difference. So I have been near the brink of death. I can relate to your issues and I hope that you get through it in one piece, well minus those unwelcome, over-active, mutated cells that are being so naughty. 23:34, July 6, 2008 (UTC)

Crap, that sucks to hear about your cousin. Sorry, man. :/ Yeah, as far as my tumors go, they're actually apparently the rarest type known to man - in fact, when we tell a doctor "they're this type" they say, "okay, um, do you mean this type?" "No." None of them have even heard of these tumors! Got me in a medical journal, though, so cool I guess? Although the downside is that since they've never SEEN them they don't know what to DO with them. Operating is out of the question 'cause they're not only in weird places, but they'd probably just re-generate anyway (whoo). So let's irradiate them!! Regarding YOUR sickness, that sounds terrible. I had a similar experience where I got to around 103.8 degrees. I wasn't vomiting every half hour, though, but I felt like I should have been, and threw up at least daily. That's my main problem - throwing up might make me feel better, but I hate doing it so I've trained myself to NOT throw up and just suffer. Awesome. And believe you me, I know what it's like to not eat for four days. I had nothing but a cup of yogurt for that whole experience. Totally awesome, no? Still, you totally should have gone to the hospital. But as long as you lived, whatever, right? :P Thanks for the positive thoughts, though. 01:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Rather late, but I know how it feels to be panicked. I doubt anyone here has had stitches to their chin twice and fractured their growth plate. The stitches happened years ago when I was younger. The fracturing happened several months ago, around September-October last year. Something like that. I had it off before new years though. This is probably one of my smaller injuries, but years ago i cut all the skin around my right knee after having a rather bad fall. I fell right on the knee, and the next thing I knew, I had what seemed to be a whole scab around my 7 year old knee. Not as bad as your cases (Ando, I know how it feels to hate throwing up. I had never had to do it for years, but this year I got some sickness. I did it once, but i hated it. You have to wash out your whole mouth and put on all new clothes D:. I also lost my tonsils when I was seven. Couldn't talk for a whole week. I could talk, but it hurt SO FREAKING BAD. Even worse, they said no ice cream. Only popsicles. Why? WHY? Anyways, not as bad as your cases, but I thought i'd share. 01:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I be gone
Yeah, I left a few days ago. However, even though my rip is only half over on this day, I can faithfully say "You sily Tennesseeians and your silly idoling of Dolly Parton!". Now srsly, shes IDOLED in Tennessee. --Seablue254 12:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * ...Only... only in certain parts of Tennessee. I hardly ever see anything about her around here, and what I do see really seems to be more of a "guys let's pretend we like her because it's the cool thing to do since we're in tennessee". Except for Dollywood itself. I don't know what is up with that place. D:
 * Anyway, um, continue havin' fun, I guess! 12:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Really? Pigeon Forge seems to love her :/. However, I'm not a big country music fan so I could care less. --Seablue254 13:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

FP
Since no picture seems to be ready to be disqualified just yet, I'll get ready to have the Ocarina of Time poster put in. I'll start with the making template FP/32. Once we have the tenth vote for it, you change template FP/31 and the main page while I change the script. I'll just make the template for now. But the tenth vote is not far off. 22:10, July 9, 2008 (UTC)


 * I've got the script updated. I'm not going to click save on it until you update template FP/31 and the main page. The script updates are waiting for my click in another tab. Let's do this quickly. 02:23, July 10, 2008 (UTC)


 * I guess I'll have to do it myself. 03:23, July 10, 2008 (UTC)

Oh, shoot, I apologize! I had just left for church right before the tenth vote came in. What timing, huh? D: Sorry that you had to do it yourself, man, but... I wasn't here. 04:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

It is still set to rotation, so it will only stay for two days. 04:56, July 10, 2008 (UTC)


 * How can he do it himself? --Seablue254 13:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What he did was simply modify the Featured Picture Nomination page (amongst others) much like Adam or I do when there's a new Featured Picture. He then added it to a template, again, just like we do. None of those pages are protected; heck, I did it myself once before I was sysop, I think (I did SOMEthing like this, anyway). The only page that only I could edit with the necessary adjustments is the Main Page, which I have just done. 16:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Recent Spammers
I'm probably pointing out the obvious here, but I think all of these accounts being used for spamming on the pages are from the same user. He's continuing to make more it seems. On an irrelevant note, though, I finished that characters for SSB page as I said I would. 12:18, 10 July 2008 (EST)


 * Yeah, I figured as much -- what's confusing me is how. Although he seems to have slowed down, so perhaps the fact that I'm blocking every IP that they've used and will try to edit from is working? They appear to be using an automated program to generate the accounts and edit. But oh well! As long as the blocks are working; the edits can be reverted.
 * Also, you finished it, did ye? Sweet. I haven't been through ALL of the recent edits yet, but I haven't seen it. Is it up or is it still on your computer? 16:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

It's still in documentaton, so I'll upload it now. I just wanted your last approval on it. 12:25, 10 July 2008 (EST)


 * Well it's kind of hard to approve it if I can't see it, don't you think? ;) Regardless though, you don't need my approval to make an edit - if a problem is found with it, it can be discussed then. The very philosophy behind a Wiki is to be bold with your edits. It's the only way anything ever gets done. 16:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Dang it. And today had to be the day I went to the dentist. What else did I miss? 21:18, July 10, 2008 (UTC)


 * Someone also made a spambot that created accounts every few seconds that put random text pages it edited. 17:25, 10 July 2008 (EST)


 * Looks like this started only seconds or so after I left. Hmmm. I thought that the captcha thing prevented, or at least is able to prevent automated account creations. Perhaps that feature should be enabled if is not already. 21:28, July 10, 2008 (UTC)

Well, looks like you didn't miss all of it, Matt. :| I'll look into the captcha later (or sooner if it gets to being a big problem soon; I'm working on a bunch of merit badge stuff). 22:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Can't SysOps lock-up pages on this  wiki?


 * Yes, but there was absolutely no way to know what pages they would attack. So locking pages would have been pointless. 22:31, July 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * Especially since they weren't attacking just one page. If it were just a single page it would have been one thing, but they were using an automated program that would automatically generate a new account, pull up a random page, then vandalize it. I'm really not sure what bizarre "high" these people get from doing this, but as long as it's stopped, whatever. 22:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I go on vacation for ONE WEEK and this starts? Wat the heck? --Seablue254 00:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Guys, just to fill you all in on the details of this issue, I think myself and Jason were to blame for that. I'd suggested to him a while back that we remove the ConfirmEdit extension, which had previously been configured to produce a mathematical Captcha for edits containing external weblinks (back in the days when this kind of spam was endemic - for those who weren't around to see, I was reverting up to 100 edits a day and blocking dozens of IPs... good times... ) This feature basically became redundant with the decision to restrict editing to registered users, but what neither of us were fully aware of was the protection which was being provided against auto-account-creations. Removing the extension allowed a flood of these, and as soon as I saw that (with our handy new Newuserlog extension!) I reinstalled ConfirmEdit and set it to produce a Captcha only on account creation. So in short, we shouldn't see any more of this problem, and if we do we'll find another way to stop it. On the subject of extensions, you may have noticed that we have a number of shiny new features shown here. If anyone thinks there's something else we should have (either an extension you know of, or just a feature you've seen elsewhere), please feel free to make a suggestion at Hyrule Castle. All will be given due consideration :) 08:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC) PS sorry Ando for clogging up you page with this, just thought it was appropriate to include alongside the discussion here


 * How is it installed? Don't you need ftp access? 13:09, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes. Both of your friendly resident sysops now also have FTP access to the wiki ;) 13:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * This just makes me work harder to become one of those sysops. All the incentives... 14:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

MOTF
Are you aware that Minute of the Forest does not have an article unlike every other Zelda song? Why is this?


 * Because it is called the Minuet of Forest. ;) 23:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

-_- ...

Check this out
This guy is utmostly talented... all this in the three days. 

Hmm, I don't know if it's anything  to  generally respond  to,  it's  just I subscribed  to    this guy's  videos for   a while now and  this  is   the  best  one  he   has  made, and it  has pleanty of  tricks  in  it.

Redirecting
As you can probably tell from the Recent Changes, I've been working on fixing links that go to the Ganondorf page, which is a redirect. It has been several days now, but I'm am finally done. Well, almost that is. There is one left. It is locked. 00:48, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm going to assume that sysops can edit Special Pages, and that's why I can't. 01:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No, that special page just tells you the normal pages that link to an article. Ahh...... crap. This one isn't locked. But it reminds me. There are still some redirecting links on the Editing Help page and the About page. Might want to fix those. 01:32, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * Righto, sir. My apologies for not getting to this sooner; that whole frikkin' hospital thing again (if I'm ever gone for an extended period of time, that's probably why). 01:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * May i ask you some questions in the chatroom, Ando? I've got a couple so it's be quicker there. 01:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ready to continue when you are. 20:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * you ready? 02:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * O hai. Because this seems to keep getting ignored, I am DROPPING YOU A LINE THAT I AM READY TO START. 13:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Woops, another time. 13:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Not ignored, just I always seem to log off right before you say "hey supsss". :P Sorry about that. 13:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

A Little Hint
I just came across this hint. Perhaps you might find it useful. 06:29, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * What embarrassment? 11:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That is just the page title. Remember that thing with your hometown? This would have fixed that. 12:18, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah. I hope no one remembers that. 12:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Probably something  embaressing I'm guessing...


 * I uploaded a screenshot, yet forgot to edit out a section of the screen that showed the name of the town I lived in. 20:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Protip
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that a bit later today. Would now, but I'm going to a movie :P

--Felicia's Champion, 9:06, 17 July 2008 (EST)

Ah
Finally, he's blocked. Those edits he made I couldn't even revert. I literally had to copy and paste everything from a former edit onto the new edit. --Felicia&#39;s Champion 02:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoa, seriously? He only made one edit to each of the pages that you reverted, though... Why couldn't you? Was it giving you some kind of error? 02:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Not exactly, but it wouldn't load up. Matt tells me he was trying to fix the vandalism by revision for thirty minutes. My method took about 2 minutes... --Felicia&#39;s Champion 02:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Six months? Seriously! This vandal is the evilest vandal I've ever seen. I've seen some bad ones before, especially on Wikipedia. But this one takes the grand prize. He should have had an infinite block. The pages just locked up and never loaded. Captain Cornflake tried and tried but couldn't get anything to load. I never thought of that other method. Fairly simple really. 02:59, July 18, 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I took a closer look at the previous edits, and I see what you mean now. He made those pages absolutely huge so the server or something couldn't handle them. Wacky. As for the block time, well, I've been thinking that maybe my constant indef-blocking is a little harsh (everyone else always blocks for like 3 or 6 months! so was I being too harsh by going indef?). But I guess that if my peers who would tell me that it's harsh are saying "why DIDN'T you do it" then I guess I should go edit his ban time then, huh? 03:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Infinite blocks might be harsh for some types of blocks. But this is a very dangerous user. We don't want him to be back here ever again. Destructive, and obviously evil, users should always be banned forever. That's what I think. 03:32, July 18, 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. --Felicia&#39;s Champion 03:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not being here. I should have been at my compy to help revert these huge pages :( 14:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

No need to be sorry. We can't all be expected to be here all the time. Heck, I wasn't here - I was at a Scout meeting. 15:23, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Eww, he used that disgusting shock site picture. I think we better use Matt's article on removing embarrassment to prevent any vandals from getting ideas. 21:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah. If another vandal sees the huge pages in the history then they might get the idea to do that too. Here is that link again: Removing embarrassment . I suggest testing this on either the Zelda Universe article or the Video Gamer X article first to see if it actually removes the revision from the article's history, or if it simply makes the revision inaccessible. If it does remove it from the history, then go and delete every single revision that this vandal made. 21:40, July 18, 2008 (UTC)


 * Do it on Video Gamer X's article. If something happens to destroy that article, we lost nothing of real importance. 22:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Will do later - just got back from THE DARK FREAKING KNIGHT WHICH WAS THE BEST EVER and now I've got stupid Friday night TV shows that I wanna watch. Arggh. Don't think I won't be checkin' in, though, vandals. 01:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * So you saw the Dark Knight? I heard it was good, I can't wait to go see it. Anyways, since we're on the topic of movies and TV shows, I reccommened watching Hancock (Movie) and Total Drama Island (TV Show). 15:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, well it was an incredibly easy and successful fix for the Video Game X article. I'll go do the rest of the edits-that-could-destroy-computers now. So I'll be temp-deleting user pages. :P 21:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What did the vandal do--Rapido 21:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, for obvious reasons, we are not going to tell you exactly what he did. But he basically vandalized a few articles. Then other users reverted his edits. He then vandalized the user pages of those users. He inserted a great deal of nonsense into the pages. Most likely he did a lot of copy and pasting. 21:33, July 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's just say it included a certain shock site picture. He put it on certain pages, people stopped him, then he started vandalizing their pages. 22:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Whoa! We have another page that requires this surgery. The April 30th revisions on this page. 14:10, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I was reverting the guys edits, and back then when I was really rash, I took his flames, copy and pasted them back on his page, and said right back at ya, and signed it. Apparently he wasn't too happy ;) 14:27, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Infinite Ban
Zeldagirl101 wants one. Shes leaving. FOREVER. 19:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

If she brings it up I'll tell
If she says anything about it i'll be sure to tell her but If she dosnt ask then maybe she just dosnt care about zeldawiki.org anymore :'( but like I said if she brings it I'll be sure to tell her everything. Hope she does --Bubbles96 20:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

aBOUT gEYA
Ok first of all it wasnt supposed to say that second of all I didnt post it and I am not naming anyone...but thx for deleting it! -- 00:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, but be careful next time. If you're having problems with people using your account to make edits or something, be sure to log out when you leave the computer. 00:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Either she's telling the truth, or she's pulling a Zanramon routine. 00:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

FA
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you used that script to add another template, correct? So how many are we on? 12:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah. We're up to 36 now. 12:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Got it. So say when we have the next one ready, you just write the template, redirect the next one to it, update the FA Template by filling it in to 37 and looking at result, and then if a sysop wasn't here and say, I did it, just tell you the main page is ready to be updated. Is that all good? Oh yeah, and add it to the achieves and clean up the page. That should be correct. 13:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Pretty much, only with the addition of making an FA/38 template as well (it should redirect to FA/37). 13:14, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, now we've got 4 people ready. Me, you, Matt, and Adam. I'm pretty sure we won't be waiting long for a new featured article/picture. 13:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Did you forget? We already had an open slot for a featured article. 13:42, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * I corrected most of the error. Our main page is blank now. So hurry up and fix it. It goes to FA/31. Remember that before the Pedestal of Time had four slots to it. 13:56, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Remember to always check this page before adding a featured article. 14:02, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't forget to set the featured picture back to rotation. 14:18, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, Matt, when I use the file, do I take out ALL the code and copy and paste the result in? 14:29, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

You select and copy all the code on the result page. Then you paste it over the old code in the template. 14:33, July 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Got it. Suddenly I feel important :D 14:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I know that we fixed that 4-PoT-entries thing a long time ago. Like, when Master Sword became featured. I have no idea what happened here.
 * Regardless, while I appreciate you catching this Matt, PLEASE wait until you know I'm online next time something like this happens. The main page had blank nothing for its featured article for five hours. Unacceptable. 18:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought I still had both you and Mases when I asked. I asked Mases not but thirty seconds after his last edit but left before That. I was actually hoping you'd show sooner. I was going to ask one of the others that were always on the chatroom if you did not do it within an hour or so. But that whole delete template problem made me forget. Sorry. 19:06, July 21, 2008 (UTC)
