Hi there! what can I do for you today?

If you have suggestions about, or are looking to troubleshoot: the Portals, Database, Quote Corner, Site Skin or templates, you're in the right place.

Signature
Hi Changtau, how did I can add an Image to my Signature? Rey dedede ( DreamLand ) ( Pop Star ) 00:14, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Like you would add it within a page in wikicode/HTML within your preferences page under custom signatures. Please keep in mind that images in sigs should not disrupt line-height in articles or be a copy of someone else's signature, (unless given prior permission) otherwise you may be asked to change it. If you insert the picture via simple HTML then usually this is 30 pixels in height, otherwise with very precise style adjustments anything under 50px is manageable.

Unreleased foe
Take a close look at this. I believe they are supposed to be sprites of some enemy that would have been in Kid Kirby. Since the creature doesn't actually exist in the series, it doesn't have a page, but this is great material we have. Should we do anything with it? NerdyBoutKirby That's what I am. Savvy?  17:32, March 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Where'd you get that image from? I suppose if it's from that Flickr account where all the graphical assets of that game came from then it's a good enough source. Instead of uploading entire sprite sheets we can just use an external link to it.

 * Here's a link. Though really, what should we do with this? It can't have its own page, can it? Also, the link includes a red hand and potions and other stuff, but I didn't think it would be useful. http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/kidkirby/sprite.png

NerdyBoutKirby That's what I am. Savvy?  03:19, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Minor Typo
http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/User:Changtau2005/Todo

I've seen this, and it's Kirby's Pinball Land that needs the soundtrack. I don't mean to nag, I just don't want any confusion over the matter when you get around to it. On an unrelated note, keep up the good! NerdyBoutKirby  Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  20:28, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Enemy Template
The enemy infoboxes don't have any kind of space for ther gender of an enemy. Other infobox types have one, so why don't the enemy infoboxes? I understand that most enemies are unspecified, but I found a source or two for some of them (though this source refers to Dyna Blade as male). Is there any simple change that can be made to the template or something? Would it be worth it? http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/superstar/manual/34_35.jpg

NerdyBoutKirby  Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  03:00, May 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * The change is very simple, but there are notability issues. Like you said, most of the enemies use the pronoun "it". If they are one of the exceptions, it can either be included in trivia, or we can switch the pronoun in the article. Some of the old manuals' localizations are inconsistent with modern interpretations, so that's what the trivia sections are for. If a character uses the Character infobox instead of the enemy one, usually it's more significant. I always thought the field to be a bit superfluous, really - the article should easily make that apparent. Look at the infobox in Albert Einstein, or any bio article.

I know you have a lot on your plate already...
I noticed that we also happen to be missing the music for Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble and Kirby's Star Stacker. Whether you want to work on those too when the time comes is your decision, of course. I wouldn't want you to be overworked or anything. I mainly bring this up because I realized how good KTnT's Level 1 theme is, and we could use some other tunes around here. Your choice, really. NerdyBoutKirby  Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  02:17, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Why?
Why did you delete my edit to ultra sword? I worked very hard on it:(. Seriousseriesfanatic 19:45, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

I've already mentioned this on Starman's page, but your edits were not needed. The information was already present on the page, and the fish is not a reference to Triple Star. Please consider this in the future. NerdyBoutKirby  Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  20:52, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Last thing, I promise!
...At least, last thing for a while. You own KMA, right? Would you mind grabbing some exact-size screenshots of Strato Patrol? Preferably ones with the Meta Knights, bosses, and enemies with new sprites? You may say "no" if you wish. I just can't find any screenshots of it at the right size, and if I can get the right size, I can trim away the background details and call 'em sprites. If you wish to help out, the enemies in the screenshots should not be under fire -- Mace Knight and Mace Knight being blasted with yellow are two entirely different things.

I know you're busy, so I'm just offering. Cheers, NerdyBoutKirby   Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  00:55, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Given that I have other priorities on the site and that I'm in the middle of exams, it is highly unlikely that I will have the chance to do this anytime soon.

K64 Mix Abilities
Err... I don't suppose you saw copy ability's talk page? I don't have any evidence that can be shown virtually, but I now own an official BradyGames K64 guidebook. Those names like "Sword of Fire" and "Swiss Army" were actually nicknames given to the abilities by this reliable source. You trust that I would never make those up, right? If it's all the same to you, I think we should move the articles back. Cheers, NerdyBoutKirby   Smooth as Italian ice -- Ooh! Cold!  23:03, May 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's the thing - I don't know where those names come from - even from within the guide, because it's not clarified. If they have a section listing abilities and they are using those names then they can be used (I somehow doubt it). If those are figurative descriptions like "Kirby swings a sword of fire" or "Kirby becomes "swiss army" " or whatnot where it describes the ability then those aren't the names of the abilities. I changed several of them because they are not like standard article names. So where in the guide did you pick those names out? I know you are a good-faith editor (no one doubts that) but wikis heavily depend on evidence, so you can explain it in the talk page of copy ability or upload a camera shot or two.


 * If there isn't enough evidence, I intend to move them to standard, generic names like Double Bomb and Spark Cutter.

 * Actually, they are in their own section (called Power Combos), with names. For example, it says "Burn + Burn = Super Fireball," then it gives a description.

Why did you delete my sprites? Jealous? Or just trying to annoy me? or some other trivial reason to delete my sprite? Fumutan 15:54, June 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Look at the reasons given in the delete log. You know it's I that deleted it, is it so difficult to look at the reasons beside it? This wiki doesn't take whole sprite sheets, or modified ones. If you want to post sprites, they should be individual sprites with transparent or white backgrounds.

Image Dispute
There seems to be a dispute over at Wikirby where a person has been uploading our images from this wiki to there. I don't know what your say on the matter is, so... --


 * I've discussed another case like this (here) previously with Vellidragon. My personal view is that there should be no problem with people taking images off other sites since all images on wikis have to be sourced from somewhere. BUT if the source is another wiki or any community-run collection which is non-commercial, then there should be attribution to each and every image in the form of a link to the page under the File namespace where it came from, especially when the images have been cleaned up beforehand.


 * If the uploader refuses to add attribution, then the image does not qualify under fair use under Wikia's CC-by-SA 3.0 licensing terms as shown here. In that case, I believe they should be removed.


 * I'm surprised by the uploader's actions. He/she claims adminship under the muppet wiki, which is supervised by several Wikia staff. I thought they had better people than that running the place.


 * I'll leave him a reply linking to the same page on Vellidragon's talk page. (diff permalink)

Giant Gordo
If you aren't busy, would you mind grabbing a screenshot of Giant Gordo from KRtDL's Extra Mode? I've got KMA under control, but the emulator I'm using only works for GBA/NDS games.

 * Yeah, they're in the game, though they're just resizes of Gordos that appear normally inside the game. They're not even close to the sizes in Kirby Mass Attack, but they're still larger than the other Gordos. I've tracked one down in Onion Ocean, Stage 2. It's in the room crawling with Barbars, and is surrounded by stars. A Blipper should be nearby.

Mechandise
Kirby Wiki is about the video game series... but why don't we have any mention of other Kirby merchandise? NerdyBoutKirby  If you tilt and tumble, you're gonna fall over.   19:57, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Verification issues - How to ascertain each one is genuine and not some knock-off. FYI and you probably know already that KRR staff tried cataloguing merchandise in the past. End-result is that they found too many to properly catalogue and abandoned the project. Plus there's other things to work on like actual articles on the wiki, which are arguably more important. The main issue here is that merchandise are largely manufactured by third parties, and Nintendo itself doesn't maintain a list outside of the limited number of products featured on Nintendo Club's exchange list or whatever they call it.

Question?
I recently got some of these from Nintendo.com. I understand why we don't have articles and whatnot for merchandice, but we can actually prove that this isn't third-party.

KMA Vehicles
I asked Starman this question, and he told me to ask you: Should I make articles for the vehicles in KMA? If I were to make 'em, the list would be Daroach's Airship, Balloon Bobbleship, Tank (semi-conjectural), Spaceship (conjectural), and Surf star (conjectural). As for the conjectural names, Daroach only talks about "getting your own spaceship," "surfing stars," and "the tank stage." How do you feel about these? Nerdy Bout Kirby  Never forget me!  17:25, July 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * While I think we can use more coverage on those elements, I also think they are not notable enough for their own article. If they are mentioned, then it should be within their respective stages (like the tank and spaceship), and within Daroach's page for his airship.

Emulator stuff
First of all, how exactly do you get the music from the games? Do you use an emulator and do techy stuff with it? Cuz if not, I realized the soundtrack for KTnT might be difficult for you to find on the web...the game's kinda obscure.

Also, would you have time to grab the Kirby's Star Stacker tunes? We need those, too. Not that I mean to pile work on you, though =].

Most importantly, I've heard the free version of the Desmume KMA ROM deletes files and states if they aren't individually used every 30 days. I got the free version, and now I'm kind of paranoid that I'll lose all my progress if I don't use every file and state frequently. What if I "get everything I need" from the game, then realize I missed something two months later? Do you know if a flash drive would save everything permanently? Nerdy Bout Kirby  Never forget me!  22:49, July 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I've been using Desmume for a couple of years. I think what you meant is that where you download the ROMs, they are saying they will remove the ROM if nobody accesses it for 30 days. There's nothing to do about that. Just in case, just save a copy of the ROM somewhere else other than the ROM folder within Desmume. Even if it's deleted you can just download it again. Saves and savestates are persistent - I haven't touched desmume in a while and all my pokemon and kssu saves are still there. Programs are usually well-behaved - they can't just delete whatever they like unless they have the system rights to do so.

Tunes from the Toy Box
Would it be possible for you to grab the musics from this link? I'm not sure all the music's complete (and I don't even know how you get the musics, anyway), but could you at least take a look?

Cheers, Nerdy Bout Kirby   Never forget me!  03:34, July 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * That would be impossible. I don't think the video has separate sound and music streams. Usually I just find some existing high-quality ROM music rip and convert it to a lossless format. I ripped the KRtDL tracks myself but renaming and cross-checking all the tracks isn't exactly a task that can be done fast, so I usually don't do that unless I don't have a choice. Anyhow the tracks we're missing are those of old games or like you said, esoteric ones, so I'm not too bothered about it. Plus KRR has those tracks covered if I'm not mistaken, sans Kirby's Toy Box. Right now, Wikia's planned migration to Mediawiki 1.19 and HTML5 will break a lot of stuff, so that's more important right now. Any stylistic markup like <tt> <b><i> cellpadding, cellspacing, align etc. </tt> will no longer work.

If you don't mind...
Would you mind getting the ROM for Kirby 64? Some of those enemies are badly in need of some actual gallery shots (I'm lookin' at you, Snipper). I'm tangled up with my KMA emulator, KMA sprites and screenshots, KMA point values, and other things. If not, I understand if you have enough on your plate as it is.

Do you intend to get a computer version of Kirby's Dream Collection? If so, that might work come September. Thanks, Nerdy Bout Kirby   Never forget me!  19:56, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Now that I think about it, Kirby's Dream Collection and Kirby's Dream Course both have the same initials. How will we differentiate Kirby's Dream Collection?

My focus has never been content of articles - it's best to think of me as technical staff - I decompile official files, maintain the mediawiki namespace, site css, and js - stuff that almost nobody else does, and of course some admin work like patrols. Anyone can take screenshots - the K64 ROM is easily accessible, and the emulator to look for is called Project 64. I have both, but you have to understand that playing the game and taking screenshots is not the best use of my abilities and time. I know those images need replacing, but there's many other things on the site that I have to attend to, and I don't have as much time as I used to have.

 * That's completely understandable. I'll get the emulator and ROM sometime in a while. My rule of thumb is to only download the ROMs of games I already own (and have paid for), but I'll need to finish my KMA work first.

KRtDL Template
You know the enemy template for KRtDL? Would you mind updating it to include Sister Bound? Nerdy Bout Kirby  Never forget me!  00:43, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. How many categories are we gonna need for KDCol? Will we need full categories of all the enemies and copy abilities, etc.?


 * I don't know yet - Can't really tell until the game is out, but probably not since it's just 6 re-releases and then some.

 * From what you said on my talkpage about Kirby's Dream Collection, I need a little detail. Since I know Magolor and Elec (among others) appear in the Challenge stages, can I add this to their Latest Appearance part of their infoboxes? Nerdy Bout Kirby  [[Image:Colonel Sanders sprite.png|x34px|link=]] Never forget me!  20:01, July 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes. Put them in only if they appear outside of the six games - for example, I'm not expecting over 9 or 10 copy abilities to be listed under it because that's the number of challenge stages +/- the item challenge. Of course, if you have a good reason to disagree then do say it. These are just suggestions to not overpopulate the categories.

Toy Box Pinball
Kirby's Toy Box only gives detail on the baseball game. I got an emulator for the pinball game (quite fun, actually), and I want to describe it. Only problem is, I don't know how in-depth I have to go; it's like regular pinball. Would I have to describe each little thing? Nerdy Bout Kirby  Never forget me!  04:22, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * To a degree of detail that you deem reasonable. You're writing a gameplay article, so you can refer to the sub-games or articles like City Trial etc. Changtau2005    <ul style="margin: 0; list-style: none;"><li>Talk to me</li><li>Blogs</li><li>Contributions</li><li>Block me</li></ul> KirbyKSSUwalk.png  Poyo!  07:54, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * On another note, where'd you find the image(s) for Star Breaker? I couldn't find anything but Baseball, then one image and one emulator for Pinball. Nerdy Bout Kirby  [[Image:Colonel Sanders sprite.png|x34px|link=]] Never forget me!  23:12, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I recommend you to use an emulator for the game and take screenshots.


 * @ NerdyBoutKirby - They are images from a review website. There are ROMs lying around, but Snes9x cannot run them for some reason. Then again it doesn't emulate KDL3 properly either. If you just google Kirby no Omocha Hako, more than a few should crop up.

 * Zsnes works pretty well for me. Granted, D controls left flipper, C controls right, and L takes screenshots. I think I've found a ROM for Guru Guru Ball, so I might download that. Nerdy Bout Kirby  [[Image:Colonel Sanders sprite.png|x34px|link=]] Never forget me!  16:01, August 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * So... since screenshots of the title screens of the games are on another wiki, we aren't allowed to use them here?

Wikia wiki content is under the CC-BY-SA license. Now that you're admin you should familiarize yourself with wiki licensing terms so you can decide what content is appropriate. Under license terms you can copy pictures and page content but you MUST specify the url of the file namespace and credit the original uploader of the source wiki. However, since copying text or code is also called plagiarism, we don't do it even if the license allows anybody to do so. Pictures are different since the only valid pictures on the wiki are images of Nintendo's copyrighted works, but copying straight off is generally not good practice, so only do it if you think the picture is unavailable elsewhere, and its value on the article is high enough to justify it. And specify attribution as required by CC-BY-SA or whichever the license the source wiki operates under. Wikipedia operates under GNU, some other wiki farms use other licenses.

Pinball Articles
I asked Starman about this, and he told me to ask you. This link identifies many parts of Kirby's Pinball Land that haven't been used here on the wiki. Do you think the individual lands (Kracko Land, Poppy Brothers' Land, etc.), Cloudy (page 11), and Springboard (page 16) deserve their own pages? How about categories? We have plenty of unused material here. Clicking 'View Manual' will open it up. http://vimm.net/manual/?p=details&id=2473

 * What do you mean by sub-game? NerdyBout  Kirby  [[Image:Iron Man Meta Knight.png|x30px|link=]][| Tank Missile!] 16:29, August 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you mean individual stages within the sub-games then no. If you have any, don't include your reasons for doing page changes within the edit reasons box since that saves it as metadata and it's not searchable. Put it in the talk page. The sub-games' titles are at the top of pages 9, 11, 13. That's why I moved the pages. Bonus game is just another old term like minigame for a sub-game.

I've never played KPL but I don't think that is necessary, citing notability. Just put the content in sections under the main page. If it proves to be too much then only split.

Infobox
You're skilled in the art of crafting templates, do you know if there's a way to make it so the infoboxes on articles doesn't shove the section lines down? This leaves unreasonably huge amounts of unsightly whitespace, I'm just wondering if you could place in a code that would relieve this. <font face="Eurostile" size="3"> BNK [ E 03:07, August 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright I'll modify Monobook.css. I'll leave it as it is for Oasis since the TOC takes up most of the left anyways and I don't want galleries or other built-ins like that going up the gap. It should be fixed now.

 * Oh, while you're at it, can you take a brief look at the navigation templates? I've noticed a few particularly empty pages run the risk of having the templates collide with the infobox, which cuts most of them short. This is most prominent on the air ride machine pages, like Flight Warpstar, Wagon Star, ect. Is there a way to have the navigation boxes always show up under the infoboxes regardless of the length of the page? If not, I can easily just circumvent the issue by fleshing the pages out, haha. Your call.. thanks. =) EmptyStar (talk) 15:46, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Staff Pond
You know that sub-game after the player beats Necrodeus? Do you think we need an article about it? And if we do, what should I call it? People commonly call it the "fishing minigame" here on the wiki, but the music for it is titled, "Staff Pond," because the credits play during it. Any ideas? NerdyBout Kirby  [| Tank Missile!] 20:52, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I had a look through the KMA rom using Nitro Explorer 2b. There's a directory under Data that's called Fishing. If I was creating the article, I would have used the conjectural name Fishing Pond.

Blocked use template
I've seen several blocked users on this wiki, and I'm just wondering if I should create a "BlockedUser" template to most of the blocked users' profile. That way we'll be able to indicate the users that have been banned from this wiki. I'm just wondering if we should have that kind of template. Bestofkirby 22:46, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, we used to have a page called Template:Blocked, but that's from ages ago for the old skins and systems. Nowadays, if you look at your own profile page, where the admin tag shows up, if a user is blocked, it will say blocked. Same goes for rollback, staff, founder, and VSTF rights, so I don't think a separate template is strictly necessary. =) Plus if we perform a rangeblock, it affects multiple IP addresses at once. These tags don't show up under the Monobook skin, but since Wikia discontinued support for it it suffers from problems that cannot be fixed on our end, and most people don't use it, at least on this wiki.

Names in other languages
I think that the wiki need a thing to make known how it is called in other countries.

Like this: The example is from FreezeRex.

What you think?XDman (talk) 10:42, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * The wikis in those languages are already linked. Add the names in the form of an interwiki link and it will appear at the bottom of the article. That is how Wikipedia does it. It is unfeasible (and unwieldy) to document the names of article subjects in every featured language in the article itself. The Japanese name is included in the infobox because that's the original one HAL Labs uses before localizing it to English etc.

Complete Item Revision
I intend to make some KRtDL item pages and seriously revise the ones that one Wikia contributor created. It's a lot to ask, but could you get me a screenshot of every item in KRtDL?

Muchas gracias, NerdyBout  Kirby  [| Tank Missile!] 03:44, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

 * I know, but I like to put them in while I'm making the article. Not only do I like making them complete right from the start, but I also don't have to go back and put the pictures in later. Still, you may take your time getting the pics, if you don't mind grabbing them for me =]. I don't think we'll need any more KRtDL screenshots after this, so I'll stop asking you for them.

Game Info Boxes
I'm trying to add the correct caption to every info box on the wiki. Since clicking certain parts of a game's info box will give me the different box arts and different logos, I'm not sure if a caption on those info boxes would even be necessary. How do you think I should go about doing this? NerdyBout Kirby  [| Tank Missile!] 01:46, August 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * There's no fixed way to do this. I think captions are only necessary where the artwork's source is not apparent. For example, it is not necessary to clarify that the material in the anime episode articles are Kirby: Right Back at Ya! screens. Otherwise they can and should be included in the infobox.

Kirby's Dream Collection
Hey Kirby's dream collection website is up now! http://kirby.nintendo.com/dreamcollection/

Celebration Plans?
Hey there Chantau!

My nae is Jorge and I am on Wikia's Community Development team. With the 20th anniversary of Kirby coming up, the Dream Collection game getting a release as a result, we were wondering if the wiki had any celebration plans scheduled. We would love to feature the wiki and get it some much deserved attention. If you do have plans, I would love to hear them. If you don't have anything planned yet, we can always offer suggestions as well. For example, we could launch a quiz on the wiki. (See here for an example quiz). Of course anything works too. Just let me know by leaving me a message on my talk page!

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 20:25, August 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey Chantau, I received your questions. Here are the answers.


 * 1. It is not necessary to have a wiki event to get featured. Any wiki can request a spotlight on Special:Promote. We're actually already promoting the wiki for the 20th anniversary celebration. We were just curious about events in case there was something you wanted to spotlight from the community in particular.


 * 2. Regarding other ideas, the options are nearly limitless. Avatar wiki added some graphics into their skin and wordmark, birthday baloons and banners for example, to highlight the anniversary of their wiki which, personally, I thought looked fantastic. But in the name of the 20th anniversary, you could really do anything. From asking the Kirby community to contribute themed fan art, to hosting an editor drive to clean up stub pages or make wanted pages, to asking people to contribute reasons they love Kirby and then forming it into a list of the top 20, maybe then turning that into an image highlighting those 20 things. If you do decide to do an event, just let me know! I would love to draw the attentions of other Wikians to it.


 * Regarding quizzes, they are still currently a work in progress. As such, only Wikia staff can edit them. For now they can have up to nine questions and, if you wanted to implement a quiz, we would be happy to insert the questions and answers of your choosing. We could even do more than one if you so choose. Sorry that it has to be on our end, but I'll happily work on it until you are happy with it if you do decide a quiz sounds interesting.


 * Hopefully that answers all your questions! If not, just leave me a message. Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 16:31, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Wispy Trouble
Apparently, redirects are set up so that both Wispy-Woods Land (the stage article I just made) and Wispy-Woods Land Bonus Game (the sub-game article) link to the stage's page. Could you help me A) change the name from "Wispy-Woods Land Bonus Game" to simply "Wispy-Woods Bonus Game," and B) get the pages to actually link to the right pages? This is incredibly confusing and I really should hit the hay in a few minutes =]. Cheers, NerdyBout  Kirby  [| Tank Missile!] 05:36, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

20th Anniversary celebration
Hello Changtau. I gave Jorge's message a once-over and did some thinking at work. A general edit drive & clean up would be ideal, but I think that's wishful thinking. That's something to pursue of course (and definitely make note of on our main page), but I think we should try to come up with something more engaging. I feel as if a quiz wouldn't go over so well here, as I get the feeling most of our more casual visitors won't be familiar with older games. Rather, I think a scavenger hunt would be a more acclimating approach. Basically it would consist of coming up with clues that lead to a different page to the wiki. It would be great for introducing visitors to more lesser-known enemies and characters (Flora, Ado, etc.), which would be perfect for learning purposes as well as broadening the scope of pages unregistered and new members may edit. As for a new layout, I have graphic and web design experience though the 20th anniversary logo doesn't really 'speak' to me. Plus my work/ class schedule is going to get more hectic these coming months so I might not have the time. Though I'm willing to try my hand at anything if you're up for it. Conversely, I could try to reach out to other internet artists to make us a custom-made one. This artist gained some incredible notoriety after creating this fantastic celebratory mural (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3SpcxiMSPQ).

Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention. Best regards, Empty. EmptyStar (talk) 00:34, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

Hiiiiiii!
Hello there Changtau, I am ACL and I am an administrator on the Video Games Fanon wiki. I was wondering if, although the VGF wiki does not have many pages, this wiki and my wiki would like to become affiliates? I am not sure if I asked the right person, as I just used the Local List Users page, and you had the most edits for admins. A nimal  C rossing   L eader  23:46, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the link to the wiki. Here it is! A nimal  C rossing   L eader  23:48, September 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello. Thank you for contacting me, but unfortunately I do not understand what you mean by an affiliate, so I'm making an educated guess. If you mean a mutual hyperlink to the site's main pages, most wikia Wikis don't work this way, and we do not have a section for that. If you mean by freedom to deep-link between individual pages of wikis, we have been doing so for a long time. If we find it appropriate to link to a subject which is not on Kirby Wiki, say, Mario, then we simply interlink to the Mario wiki, but that does not say that the two wikis are affiliated or somesuch - they are just both wikis on the Wikia network. But, since VGF is a fanon wiki, our content policy probably prohibits linking to most of its content. I still don't know what you mean by an affiliate, but judging by the traditional sense of the word, and that VGF and Kirby Wiki have little in common in terms of content and focus, I do not think this is a feasible or logical step to take.

Hi there! I'm Zahard. So, I work at another Wiki, and when I saw this Wiki, I noticed the theme looks fantastic! When I saw that you designed the CSS, I wanted to come and ask if you have any idea where I can look for basic instructions on editing CSS, or a less complicated method than coding, at least. I hope you don't mind me asking.

Anyway, the Wiki looks fantastic! A general compliment from me for the job well done.

 * Hi Zahard. Thanks for the compliment. If you want CSS basics you can check out W3C schools. If you're new to it, you should know that the current version of CSS (called CSS3) is still a working specification, and hence have patchy support by different browsers - you would need to pay attention such that people using outdated browsers can still have a reasonable time reading the wiki - this is called graceful degradation - although if you stick to the core markup, any browser from the past 2 years (except perhaps Internet Explorer 9 or before) has full support for CSS2 specs. Unfortunately I do not know of a less complicated way of theming the site unless you want to limit yourself to Wikia's theme editor - you can use Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver to have syntax-highlighting on your CSS or at least, use Notepad++ I suppose. Best way to come to grips with a language quickly is to get down and dirty and actually use it, although I do recommend setting up a test wiki and test its effects before actually publishing the code if you're not confident yet.

This template won't appear
Hi, Changtu2005. I've just created this template for the Kirby Mass Attack enemies, but it won't appear on the page, and it keeps saying that it exceeds 1,000 characters. I unfortunately have no idea how to solve this problem. I'm wondering if some of those enemies should be removed from the template. Bestofkirby 19:53, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * The 1000 char limit is the hard cap set as a PHP variable by Wikia. Mass Attack enemies etc are still being added or removed - that list should not be created yet.

Hi Changtau2005. Nice job on customizing the newer style of wiki navigation! I think it looks great. Would you mind if I add a comment on my blog post, pointing to this as a great example? Feel free to do that yourself of course, if you like.

 * Thanks for your response. I see that you've also "skipped ahead" and have the new header and spacing at the top of the layout.  That's no problem, but if you'll be leaving that in place, I'll wait until October 3 to call attention to your navigation (I don't want to cause any confusion for others that might see the changes at the top).  If you decice to revert back to the current layout, let me know and I'll post a blog comment sooner.

Costs
I just noticed there's no place in the game info boxes to display the games' prices. It may be rather insignificant, but it's at least worth noting. Would you be able to update the template so I can add these costs? NerdyBoutKirby  Editing the wiki for WAY too long.   01:55, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to answer your question, there's two reasons why that wouldn't work out:


 * 1) Different stores sell for different prices.
 * 2) Prices change, so we'll have to keep up with the changes, which, in the case of a store, is really not worthwhile.

Sub-game template
Hi. The sub-game template (the one that lists all the sub-games) isn't accepting the sub-games in KPL. It links to Kracko Land and Wispy-Woods Land (the stages, not the sub-games), and leaves a red link for Poppy Brothers' Land (because it is referring to the stage article that I have not yet created instead of the sub-game article). Could you fix these, changing them to Wispy-Woods Bonus Game, Kracko Land Bonus Game, and Poppy Brothers' Land Bonus Game? Below is the template as an example.

Back and Forth Dialog
Would it be possible to create a template for two people talking? We already have the Quote template, but that doesn't work very well with two characters speaking. It's not extremely important, but it is something I thought I'd bring up. It could benefit us in the future. NerdyBoutKirby  Editing the wiki for WAY too long.   22:01, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Simply stacking single quote templates is the way to go. I don't really see what difference combining the quotations would make.

Corners
I'm totally digging this new layout so far. Just curious though, is it possible to edit the boarder-radius on here? Not sure how much leeway they give you with the layout here, but I was just imagining the newly-separated pages with rounded corners, and much preferred it to the sharp ones we have now. So yeah, nothing major, just something to fiddle around with if you can. Thanks. EmptyStar (talk) 04:45, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * It is possible to change the border-radius property, although I'm not sure which element you're referring to. Do you have the id or class of the element so I can have a look?

Keeby & Beta
1. If you've ever played Kirby's Dream Course, could you take a look at this link? I want to know if the gray sprites of Kirby are in the actual game or just uncolored sprites of Keeby. Seemingly no one's played KDC...

2. I asked Starman125 if we should make a page for beta elements (think about all that wonderful beta of KA, KDC, KMA, KF, KK, etc.), but he never responded. Do YOU think that should be a future project?

Thanks for your time. NerdyBoutKirby  Editing the wiki for WAY too long.   02:16, October 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I've never played a lot of the older spinoffs including Kirby's Dream Course.


 * For the beta elements, what do you think we should do about them? If you think it's a good idea, you have to pitch it convincingly and think about the implementation and maintenance details. How are we going to cross-reference or make sure what is real and what is not? What is the time frame for the completion of the project?


 * Personally I think the easiest and best way is to just outsource and link to the cutting room floor from the External Links section in the relevant games, but if you have a better idea, why not lay it out so we can think it out?

 * This caught my attention, so on the topic of The Cutting Room Floor - they really do not like it when the term "beta" is applied to unused or cut content. They feel it is overused and generally incorrect, and would rather use a different term like "prototype" or "early" to describe such things, since people on the Internet who call prototypes "beta" versions often do not account for the stages of game development (AKA pre-alpha, alpha, beta, release candidate, etc.). That said, they do occasionally use the term if it is commonly used as the name for a certain prototype. I know a lot of Wikis have a page called List of Beta Elements, but a more accurate title is just something to consider (or at least a mention on the page introduction), if Kirby Wiki goes that route.

Search Box Codes
Hi, Changtau2005. I like the way the search box looks. What are the codes to change the search box and the button? I can modify every piece of that and I'm asking permission for those responsible from the wikis that I need their images, codes, etc. Please reply ASAP. Thanks. <font color="#0000E0">The Fan of Wiki  07:36, October 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean. If you know how to change them then why are you asking me for their element IDs and classes? There's two or three different search boxes that behave differently on different pages, the common hook is <tt>#WikiaSearch</tt> and <tt>.WikiaSearch</tt>, but sometimes they are wrapped in a higher level container. Anyways, you can't really ask for permission to change them - styling rules are set by CSS pages in the MediaWiki namespace, and you need administrator or staff privileges to change those pages.


 * You can ask about general page styling on Wikia Community Central instead, unless the issue is more specific to or concerns Kirby Wiki itself then it would help if you would elaborate your question. Thank you for your interest.

Amp, Apos, and Nbsp
It would seem that Kirby Wiki is automatically replacing every apostrophe with &amp;apos, which is really disruptive for people (like me) who edit primarily in Source Mode. Also, &amp;amp is being placed randomly in this mode as well. Not to mention that every empty line has &amp;nbsp in it. Is there any way to fix this, is it all a glitch, or will I just have to put up with this indefinitely?

For further evidence, simply look at this message in Source Mode. Thanks, NerdyBoutKirby   Editing the wiki for WAY too long.   22:14, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that this amp thing is messing up galleries; they're accepted as apostrophes alone, but not together. In other words, if I edit a gallery (see the history of Maxim Tomato for the best example), I have to manually replace every pair of apos with apostrophes or else they will stop being italicized. If we can do something about this, we need to. Simple edits are becoming quite time-consuming... NerdyBout  Kirby  Wreck_THIS.png 00:58, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
