Redirect fixing
Good job with "Ganon" here, but you know that you don't need to edit user and talk pages to fix these? It's not like a user page having a redirecting link is going to make the Wiki appear unprofessional. :P 01:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I know that. But I figured that if I did fix the ones on talk and user pages, it would help the users to remember how to link to that article. 02:03, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you know what would be great? If when previewing a page, it would list the redirect pages that the current page links to. I requested an extension like this over a MediaWiki.org earlier today. It will be a while before anyone responds to it, and a while longer before one is made. Hopefully it isn't too long. 02:10, July 14, 2008 (UTC)

It's true. Nice idea there. Let me know how it turns out. 20:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Happenings
Tomorrow, or later today considering UTC, don't expect to answer anything right away. By brother-in-law went out to eat and got a piece of meat lodged in his throat. It is so far down that he can still breath. Everything we tried to give him just comes right back up. We tried for three hours. Now it is so inflamed that it will never come out on its own. We're taking him to the ER. I'll have to watch his kids for the next day or so. So I'll be focusing on them. Later. 03:03, July 14, 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, made your own  thread  about  happenings,  it sounds  a  bit   strange;    I never heard of choking  on   meat, maybe  he  took too  big  of  a bite...


 * They got it out. I never intended this section to include a ton of stuff, just this one issue. I couldn't think of another name. I wrote it in a hurry. 19:17, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * !!! Shoot! That sucks. He's okay then, I assume?? How big of a piece was it for it to get stuck but him still be able to breathe? 20:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe it could have been far down enough for the epiglottis to still open, allowing him to breathe, Ando. 20:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Something like that. It was that very thing that allowed him to still breath that prevented it from being removed by anything that could be done at home. My mom, a nurse, tried everything and was not able to get it out. We tried every trick: the Heimlich, vomit-inducing methods and meds, hot water, and a few other things. So we took him to the ER. He got out just before noon today, central time. I don't know how they got it out, they have not given me all the details yet. 20:32, July 14, 2008 (UTC)


 * One sure fire way to tell is to look for a scar ;) 20:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I haven't seen him since last night, but I'll know soon enough. We knew that there were only two ways to get it out. Those were: surgically removing it, and using an special instrument to go in and pull it out. It really depended on how far down it was and how inflamed and swollen the surrounding tissue was. He got out sooner than we would have expected if it was a surgical removal, but I'll still have to check. 20:47, July 14, 2008 (UTC)

Hey Just need a little help and heard you were helpful
Hey I'm new and since my sis took over my name ZeldaGirl101 I never really learned about this place so me Miss Bubbles am asking you how do I do the whole user page thing I really love the zelda thing but the actual wiki confuses me! Also your page is really cool....and long anyways could you help and maybe give me a few pointers with the chatroom....That thing confuses me to! the stupid newcomer --Bubbles96 01:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I could help. I'm not that good at the chatroom, so you can ask Seablue254 about that. For a userpage. Just ask me what you want to do and I'll tell you. I suggest starting with userboxes. You can go here to see all of the currently available userboxes. To get instructions on each one, go to the category link on the top of the page. Keep asking for anything else you may need help with. 01:43, July 15, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the help with the edit box. Every time I put it on, it'd cause some kind of problem...

I need s'more help!
Hey could you help me s'more well at least I think it was u please say your name is Matt! Anyways how do you get your userboxes all nice and neat on the side!? Please tell me! Also if you could how could I start a userpage!? Please be patient with me! the less stupid than she was yesterday newcomer --Bubbles96 19:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You need to use a userbox container. It may be better if I do that part for you. You can add anything to your user page, as long as it is within reason. Some users like to explain their username, give some information about themselves or the games they have played. Things like that are okay. 19:27, July 17, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me with that it looks so much better thank you!Also your sig how did you get it so nice!? --Bubbles96 20:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Wow my small bag of help has turned bottomless! Oh and can you make userboxes like custom ones?


 * You could make userboxes. But inexperienced users should ask an experienced one to make it. For the signature, there are instructions you can follow here. But they can be difficult to do if your new. Basically you make a subpage to your user page. You can do that going to the page User:Bubbles96/sig. Then you make your signature on that page. You can look at the existing signatures here to see what others have done. Once you do that, you should not have any trouble following the directions on this page. 20:49, July 17, 2008 (UTC)

Parser hook functions
I was looking here when I saw some mmore parser functions on the wiki. Do you have a page that can help me learn about these? 23:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Besides the ones you know, most of the others are used by automatic wiki functions. They are not that useful to use on your own. I've already looked up all of them. We're already using the good ones. Although, the time one is a little cool. But has no real use. This is because it does not update the time whenever the page is viewed. Only when it is saved. So it is useless. If you want more parser functions, then you could ask for them. This page basically lists all of the parser functions available. Of the ones we don't have, I'd really like to have the ones added by the extensions: VariablesExtension and DynamicFunctions. 23:54, July 18, 2008 (UTC)


 * That can't be true; there has to be more good extensions than #ifeq and #switch. 23:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, VariablesExtension can be done by using PHP. To define a variable in PHP, it goes along the lines of:



Why I can't get it to work may bg because I'm not using a HTML script tag :|. 00:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The variable extension lets you define a variable in wiki code and lets you use and modify that variable throughout that page. That variable will be unique to that page and is more practical to use than a wiki-wide variable. It is hard to top #ifeq and #switch. They are very useful. We can't use all of HTML code, just some of it. The dynamic functions extension will let us generate random numbers. So we could have something displayed that is chosen at random just like they do over at Wikia. 00:16, July 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * It still makes me wonder why we can't use all HTML code... 00:27, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
