Hello, and welcome to Custom Bioniclepedia. I wanted to thank you for updating the no image available picture; I was thinking about doing that. Thank you and overall, welcome! Have fun on the Custom Bioniclepedia team!

Hi, I would be very greatful if you fixed my images! Oh, but please make sure you spell all of the names right.

Hey, want to vote for User of the Month?

Toa Retyk 03:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, just because you're new doesn't mean you can't vote. And for all my articles, you can go to my Category.

Toa Retyk 19:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Awesome picture! I hope I don't sound to picky, but actually, Toa Shojua (yellow) has Dekar's Mask and Toa Gennabim (green) has Defilak's-but now that I think of it, he looks better with that Kanohi.

If you were able to make Gali have yellow limbs on that one, could you do it on the actual Toa Shojua Page (with Dekar's Mask)? Oh, well, guess I'd better get to work on the new Gennabim and the new Toa Teremeary Images. See ya!¥

Toa Retyk 02:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

PS-I just thought that was a cool symbol, I found it at the bottom and have no idea what it means.

"True" Dume
Hi, I'm Link0505, a member of this Wikia. I was viewing your "True" Dume page and thought that his tools should have their own pages. If it's OK, I'd be happy to make them for you.

Reply
Hi :) please can you link me to the page where you asked about new admins? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 19:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I've adjusted the vote page a bit, to help get some activity going, and set a site notice. Let's see how that works this week :) -- sannse (talk) 20:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, so I created "True" Dume's tools. Here: Shadow Chain, Sword of Judgment If you don't like it or if you think it needs more informations, tell me or edit it yourself. :) Link0505 04:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC) Link0505

Well, TBH is Toa Bounty Hunter. You can see him in the CL88 Comix.

My Image
I haven't been on here in a while. I guess I should get back on and see what all has happened since I left. But, as for your question. Of course, that would be great. Thanks. --  Iruuvi, Guardian of Truth  18:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Since you liked my articles on Shadow Chain and Sword of Judgment, may I create the Kraakhan Nuva and Falmakh City? (or one of them) :) Link0505 09:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC) LINK0505

favicon
Hi, have a look at http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images//6/64/Favicon.ico - how's that? -- sannse (talk) 19:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Um, I'm sorry, but Falmakh is my first article about a region, so I want to make it more creatively. Could you give me more time for that? I can make Kraakhan Nuva now, though. Link0505 08:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC) LINK0505

Logo
Hello. You can change the logo for the older skins by uploading an image called Wiki.png (the .png needs to be lower case). It should be no larger than 145 pixels square. For the newer skins (quartz and monaco), you should upload an image called Wiki wide.png which is 266 pixels wide and 75 pixels tall. Angela (talk) 19:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Manual of Style
-3/1/08 I have a quetion. What do you mean about the Manual of Style? Do I have to put that image so that my pages won't be deleted? Please respond back to me as quickly as possible. Hodoka2 04:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

First thing that comes to mind when developing a MOS (Manual of Style) is the tense. What is the tense of the universe you're talking in? Most Wikis use past tense, which I think is what Bionicle is in. That means all articles must be written in past tense, unless they are talking about an event that is coming up, which should only relate to real-world objects, or Out-of-Universe. I don't think the "coming up" part will apply to Custom Bionicle, but better safe then sorry.

Next thing that comes to mind is structure of an article. What is the basic layout that would be suitable for Custom Bionicle. An example would be:


 * Title/Article Templates other than infobox/Infobox/Eras(if this wiki has eras. An era would be a time period in which the character lived in. e.g: Metru Nui Era, Great Cataclism Era, Mata Nui Era. There can be smaller eras within these larger eras, these are just some of the ones that came to mind.)
 * Main Article
 * See Also (if applicable)
 * Appearances (if applicable)
 * Categories

Another thing that would be helpful is deciding which language the Wiki is to be edited in. Custom Bionicle would be english...however, which dialect of english. American English, British English, Australian/New Zealand English, or some other variation? This will help with spelling and grammar so that there isn't any confusion eventually leading to edit wars.

Having something on naming articles might come in handy, that way users don't constantly move their article to fit the name they want. If the name is about a character, their full original name is needed. If the character has a nickname, include it within the article, not the title. If the article is about a species, it is to be singular, although all most of the species in Bionicle are the same word for singular and plural, so this shouldn't be much of a problem. Also, titles for characters should not be included in the title of the article (e.g: Lewa not Toa Lewa).

A couple more things that might be useful are Headings and Capitalization. Headings should be used as opposed to  Bold  markup. This will help with reading and editing as a table of content will automatically appear. Capitalization should go along with grammar and spelling of the dialect selected for the Wiki but there can be a few exceptions such as specific titles for characters (e.g: Toa Tahu, Turaga Vakama. Toa and Turaga are a title for Tahu and Vakama.) Species should also always be capitalized.

Those are just some things that I find would be useful for an MOS. Details on the layout should go in a layout guide describing what specific articles should look like (e.g: what's the difference between a character article and game article). But that's a different matter that you admins will have to take up and decide what to do about. Hope this is helpful. --  Iruuvi, Guardian of Truth  10:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Bioleader's Sergestion
Hi TO23 are you an Admin because I would like to ask you or them wether Me and ToaAuserv can set up a Compation to see who can build the best Fanon Creation (all the details) are on Auserv's Talk Page User talk:ToaAuserv. Bioleader 11:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Delete
Oracle I really think we should delete template:Delete. If someone used it, they could probably delete a whole page like an admin could. What do you think. Who Else?  {Talk to me here.}

Who Else?  {Talk to me here.}
 * Allright, sorry, I was kind of worried, and yes we should keep it. The description said "Paste this on a page to have it deleted." Alright thanks!

RE: RSFFW Favicon
You must go to a Favicon creation website, follow the steps and you will get an image with *.fav extension, then you should upload it to the wiki. --Jigo22

Comic
-3/9/08 Nice comic The Oracle. --Hodoka2 19:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Logo?
-3/12/08 I am flattered that you would ask me to make a logo for your Oracle Productions. I can make a non animated logo for you. I can't do animated Gifs because I don't have a program that allows me to do that. I can make a movie of your logo or if you have a animation gif program, I can give you the pictures for you to animate it yourself. I would also need to know what you want the logo to look like. --Hodoka2 05:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Gatris Nui
Hi Oracle! It's me, Crazy-Lihkan38! I was wondering, If Gatris Nui could also have a part in my Storyline, for having most of the residents of Canada Lands' Lihkan Village migrate by boat or airship to Gatris Nui. I wanted to know if I could. If I added an extra land, Universe Mapiverse would get pretty crowded! Tell me what you think.

Crazy- Lihkan 38


 * Alright, I'll leave it in your category. I just wanted something big coming up in the storyline, the native people can be called Gatrisians or something (whatever you wan tto call them) but the ones that come there (my people) will be called Canadian Matoran, for they come from Canada Land. Thanks!Crazy- Lihkan 38

Alright

-3/14/08 Thanks for crediting me for the pictures. The logo looks very nice. I hope this is what you wanted for your logo. --Hodoka2 19:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

New site
-3/15/08 Thank you for responding. Im glad that you thought of making a site for you to florish your ideas and creative thoughts into your site. Before I went to custom bionicle, I had many ideas that I wanted to write into the internet. I could not do this because I did not know any site that concentrated on ideas or stories of other people's Bionicle MoCs. When I looked at a link of Diebeq's Youtube account, I found this site and thus I created my user name as Hodoka2 and became a part of a MoC community. Well thats my story and also I wish you the best of luck of on this new website you are creating. --Hodoka2 01:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
