| Thanks for your work on the ] article. I saw the wikification template and did a few little things, tweaking the image tags mostly, and then you came along and took care of the rest. Thanks! ] 04:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Re: Turn It Up (Ben Bailey-Smith song) == | |||
| Hello, I noticed you just deleted ]. I visited the article from ] and managed to catch the original editor adding {{tl|CurrentSingles}} to the page. Since music on the charts is notable, you may want to undo the deletion and replace {{tl|db-context}} with {{tl|expand}}. Of course, if you did see that change and still feel justified in deleting it, don't bother and let it stay deleted. --]]] 02:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I'll wager that it's not actually a charting single. It's part of a web of articles I just speedied, all about some band supposedly discovered by a talent search TV program, and supposedly with an album and singles out. However the TV program doesn't exist, nor does the company that is said to have made the TV show, nor does the record label they are releasing their album on. --] (]) 02:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, David! Could you please reply to my most recent message regarding this issue at ]? I'm eager to understand the situation. Thank you! —] 23:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == How to create guidelines == | |||
| Hi there! I noticed your opinion that we need a more formal system for creating guidelines and policy. I can see some benefits to that (at least, it would eliminate quite a lot of confusion) but it also goes against our wikiflexibility. At any rate, the best approach would be to draw up a sensible way of making a rule, and getting discussion on that. For reference, I should point out that the French Misplaced Pages has such a system, including voting on policy proposals (try Babelfish if you don't speak French). I'd be happy to give feedback. However, please realize that until (and if) you get such a system in place, it remains an accepted practice here to write down common practice and call it "guideline" - and people are free to try and change common practice if they disapprove of it, and the guideline will follow suit if they succeed. Yours, ] 15:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :Very well. However, since the cartoon and Fleewtay version ''don't'' have an article, perhaps they should be mentioned on this page or given articles of their own? ] 14:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::I agree, Sonic's representation in Sonic the Comic has been burning for ] for a while, but I can't help but think that the new article would be sort of small and disjointed for a while. (Only the British seem to know much about the comic, and there isn't ''that'' much information there to go off anyway.) Another option would be to propose a move of ] to ] where all differences can be discussed; however it might be a bit big and I'm not sure everyone would like the size it could reach. :( If and when we do make a new article for the information, we can put it a nice summary section | |||
| ::Copying and pasting removed sections to the article talk page is probably our best idea for now though. It's just important to keep some sort of ] in there somewhere; alternate versions seems to be a good place for that now. Whatever we do, I keeping it in the video game character article has probably contributed a bit of undue weight for some time now. To be honest, I've been meaning to fix this for a while. ] ;) --]]] 07:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Heya, thanks very much for your comments on my talk page. I hadn't looked closely at the manual of style, and so didn't realise that the article violated it in the ways that you mention.

| "Output of a script I wrote last night" - nice job. How about helping program the sidebar? --] 05:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for replying, if you think we can just edit monobook I'd be okay with that. I've already begun using MediaWiki:Htmlsidebar but I can go to Monobooksidebar if it would be easier to do it this way. It will not be difficult; all you have to do is encapsulate the sidebar output code something like "<?php function output_sidebar() { ?>" and "<?php } ?>". I'll get it to you in a few hours. --] 16:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: I finished what you gave me. I'm thinking of editing the toolbox for all pages. However, I don't know what the code for the cite this page link is, because it's not officially part of MediaWiki. The hack code (i.e. not as good as a solution where the user could actually define how the toolbox behaves) is at ]. I hope it helps. Please feel free to critique it. I don't know if this is an acceptable solution. --] 17:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == sidebar edit - it's not the same == | |||
| please leave a note next time you edit the sidebar page. Thanks for trying to help, but your edit isn't the same - note the "$isMonobook = false;" before the second if is evaluated. Using an else will automatically branch at parse/compile time, which is incorrect. The "$isMonobook = false;" is assigned so that if MediaWiki:Monobooksidebar isn't present, it will try the cache for MediaWiki:Sidebar before parsing MediaWiki:Sidebar. --] 03:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Ok, I'm sorry; I honestly thought it was an improvement. I was about to leave on note on your talk page explaining that but living in the "basement" means that when the family gateway goes down I can't leave a reply.

| no offense, but I don't know what the point of building an array just to return it again is. I don't know what you are doing with the language thing; doesn't $this-$gt;get(<varname>) work fine? I kept it with the direct html echo for now so it's a bit more familiar. I will update the output screenshot soon. --] 07:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == It really wasn't decided... == | |||
| The way I view the original TFD discussion for {{tl|Nintendo franchises}}, one user pointed out that the Bungie games template is also named by company. This leads a lot of other users to say keep because they do it too. Even though AMIB joined in later, the momentum was shifting to "keep." Now, here, Andre gives his exhausting, withering take on the template. AMIB votes early. You get in there within the first day, leading to a long discussion that leads you to conclude that the tempalte isn't useful after all. Same thing happens, but in reverse: the users read the long discussion, and the momentum shifts to "delete." ] 07:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Sonic Template == | |||
| I posted this on the talk page, but it seems to have been abandoned. I would say that the changes you made to the templates, although in good faith, actually do more ''harm'' than help. While the old template was kinda large, it was far more functional than what we have now. It's simply too much of an inconvenience for the reader to switch from a character like Amy to a character like Manic. (that's coming from someone who does that ''frequently'' as a part of article maintenance. Although I'm tempted to just revert the thing, I don't think that'd be right considering the effort put into it. I would like to see if we can reached some sort of consensus in order to enable the reader to flawlessly switch between characters of ''all'' universes as they please. Also, the template as it is now, supports "Sega Sonic" bias which should '''never''' be allowed here as it's just plain fancruft. ] 14:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :When a template or an article becomes excessively large, it is convention to split them into separate pages. (see ] and ]). Actually, the sheer size of the three Sonic templates, {{tl|Sonic games}}, {{tl|Sonic characters}} and {{tl|Sonic features}}, were highlighted at ] as being an endemic problem to most ]-related articles. Besides, all Sonic-related articles that I know of can be navigated from ]. You see, separating spin offs from the central media is not fancruft in this case: it's common sense. --]]] 01:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
