User talk:MAZEKA

The "two week" thing isn't too strictly enforced here. As long as you fix up your stuff in a reasonable amount of time, you'll be fine. I think the first thing you should do is make a page for each of your characters. You'll be able to put info about each of them as well, and show off their MOCs. McF4rtson!!! '''TwinkieCraft is back.

Ok thanks, I'll try to be quick. MAZEKA (talk) 09:50, October 12, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA

Hello, welcome to the wiki! Your pages, Mazeka (MAZEKA) (renamed because the word 'Toa' should not be in the article title unless it is about a toa team) and Rise of the Toa Spherus, have been marked as stubs. This is because they lack formatting and require some work before they meet the wiki's quality standards.

As ChineseLegolas has already said, the two week time limit is not that strict, but we do ask that you work on these pages to make them look better. You may find the Layout Guide and Manual of Style very useful in this regard&mdash;I strongly that new users read through these before creating articles. I would also suggest looking at other users' pages for ideas on how pages may be formatted. DeltaStriker's Chicken Bond's Mersery are good pages to look at. Also, please add appropriate categories to your articles. Thanks for your time! -- Rando 07  11:06, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

This is a good infobox template that you can use. The image and relevant data should be self-explanatory once you see the template. -- Rando 07  11:10, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Just copy and paste it into your article! :D -- Rando 07  11:34, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Just making sure, but did you get my shadow toa moc? If not I put a link in your blog -- Tex  499

I should probably be free earlyish tomorrow, though after 3 my time I'll be busy so if it's earlyish it should be fine -- Tex  499

Praxam is really good ! Only one thing: I'd suggest changing the Kanohi. The Volitak is, in my opinion, overused. Also, thanks for saying that I'm your best friend on CBW! P.S. The K in ReddKuta is a capital K. Adios, amigo!

Re: Stub Concerns
Simply put, they are all too short. We generally set our stub threshold at around 2,000 bytes of content per character page. We also ask that the pages look presentable to pass this requirement. Since two of the images are horizontally orientated, they do not look presentable. Furthermore, the History/Biography sections of all three pages seem to be very brief. This is generally the longest section and expanding them would certainly decrease the chances of the pages being considered stubs.

Don't forget to check your articles conform with the Manual of Style's requirements in order to both evade deletion and ensure you are making quality pages.

This is a problem that can sometimes occur on Wikia. I'm not sure why it happens, but it often helps to take the original file, open it up using Microsoft Paint, crop it, save it all over again, then replace the file. I can do it for you if it presents itself as a challenge.

Hmm, I think all three of them are still rather lacking in way of actual length. We don't have a set word limit for articles but, when the actual writing only just passes the infobox, that's generally an indication that the page is too short. Here are some tips.


 * Bruantor: This page could benefit with some expansion of the History section. Additionally, it looks like you've put a lot of information that should go in Abilities and Traits in the Biography section. I'd switch these around and maybe add a section at the end of the page, detailing what stories he's going to appear in. Maybe even a Trivia section.
 * Kirina: This page seems to be in a similar position. If you look around some other articles (Tourik, Skorr, Teltala), you'll see that they often start off with a brief line above everything, stating who the character is and providing basic context. A lot of the stuff you're putting in the Biography could go there.
 * Mazeka: This is probably the most complete of the pages, though it could still do with a bit of a cleanup before the Stub template can be removed. It could benefit from some subheadings and, like the other sections, a brief bit at the end to round things off. Maybe an Appearances or Trivia section.

That being said, don't worry if you are unable to meet the deadline. I acknowledge that you are actively contributing to these pages and would be more than happy to extend the date so there is no threat of deletion. Someone has to actually go about and delete them, it won't happen automatically if you can't bring it above the threshold in time.

As Bob has already explained with the articles you mentioned, they do require some minor work&mdash;they're not far off!

One of the main issues spreading across all of those articles are the History/Biography sections. Much of the information presented in the Biography sections of these pages should either belong in the Abilities and Traits section because they do not explain any part of the character's actual history. Some of the information may also belong to the brief summary that most users put at the top of their articles. The history and biography sections of a character are also pretty much the same thing, so I would also suggest merging these sections.

In the case of Mazeka (MAZEKA), the sections Order of Mata Nui, Reign of Shadows and Toa history should be subheadings of the History/Biography section. I hope this helps!

-- Rando 07  12:48, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I was going to remove the templates for all of them, but I got called away by other commitments after I'd removed it from Bruantor's page then forgot about the other two. They've all been removed. Good work. :P

Page moved
Just letting you know that your page, Makuta Ikratal, was changed to just Ikratal. This is because the word 'Makuta' is unnecessary in character article titles, just like how the word 'Toa' isn't used in an article title unless referring to a team of toa. -- Rando 07  18:10, October 22, 2014 (UTC)

Okay doke. Well, a sort of unwritten rule is that the creation you are nominating should have a character page on CBW that you can link to as opposed to a single image. So we can mention that you are able to read more by 'clicking here' once you've read the actual Featured Creation spotlight's content.

If you want to link to an image then you need to set up your hyperlink like this:

My Merall Revamp

My Merall Revamp

I hope I was able to help. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any continued queries.

A 'Characters' is best used as its own section below the story. The page could also do with an information template. But once you have both of those sorted, you can remove the stub template! -- Rando 07  11:10, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, I was having trouble actually trying to edit! But I'm glad to see that the story has been completed. :D

For future reference, a list of all information templates can be found here. -- Rando 07  16:10, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing. I live on my university campus and don't have access to my collection at the moment. Before I pick which ones I can build, just want to check if this design is okay, since I will most likely use it in a Toa Nuva revamp.

Of course, this means I will most likely have difficulty building Pohatu and Lewa, but it's not impossible.

Characters
I'm glad to hear that the names can stay the same! It's quite the important part of a character, isn't it?

What do you mean about changes on their history? I'm aware that the version of each character in your universe will have a different backstory. I suggest that you create an article on your universe's version of those characters though to avoid confusion between the two. -- 17:42, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

Did you know that you can press the "reply" button on a blog? It might be easier to keep track of all the conversations this way :) -- 16:25, October 30, 2014 (UTC) Edit: Just saw that you've already replied there. Oops.

To create a spoiler tag, all you do is type.

It should look something like this.

-- Rando 07  13:49, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well I do have photos but the wiki made them sideways, I'm going to have to crop them and reupload them but I likely won't be able to do that till Monday(?). But I will put it into a moc blog showing him off (pretty happy with him tbh) -- Tex  499

Sure, no problem! Be as creative as you like with her backstory. I'd just like you to keep her character traits as they are if possible.

That reminds me of the Matoran I promised to send your way... I still have most of the images but didn't get around to edit them with all the voting business and my comic updates. I haven't forgotten them.

Did you know that you're on the main page as a featured user? I nominated you seeing your activities you already made in such a short time :) -- 18:16, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

I think you deserved to be featured. We get many users these days and only a few stay. Your content has the highest quality so far, with a lot of content and a picture.

Besides, your MoCs remind me a lot of what I made when I first started with wikia five years ago ;) -- 20:08, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Hm? What do you mean? -- Troll Detector 10:33, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

I saw your question on Rando's talk page, and to answer it I believe you click on the 'Teleport' button under the 'Carve' tab. Just click on the down arrow, and you should find it there.

 The worst writer on this wiki…  Ever…   Of all time…  12:42, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

It's no bother. I see you've managed to update it yourself. :P I've deleted the misspelled version.

Just wanting to clarify, do the events that your version of Merall's page speaks of take place in an alternate universe?

Hmm, an interesting question.

In that case, you could probably just go with Merall (Orentorus) or Merall (MAZEKA).

Hey, Mazeka, Artek here to inform you that there actually is a Vadkii moc made by myself. You could use it though I'd advise asking FireDrag1091 first. Here's the moc: Artek the crazy one (talk) 15:49, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

No problem ;)Artek the crazy one (talk) 15:54, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

The link to the MoCs I send you earlier wasn't meant for you to use them actually. They are already up to five years old and my newer once have improved a lot, especially considering the photo quality. If you still want to use one of the very old guys, go ahead! I'd be happy to see one of them to get a new story! -- 16:48, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

Gallery Pages
Hi! To make a gallery page, just create a page, so if you were creating a page for my MOC contest and you were doing Amacal, you'd just type down this:  Amacal/gallery 

That's it really!

Hello there Mazeka! I'm sure you know who I am don't you - well, you should do. Anyway, if you wish to contact me, click on this link: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User:Rob-N-Hood

Thanks!



Re: Delikia
Dude, Delikia is SO GOOD! I think you're really in with a chance!

Nah. Just one pic, and no piece picture.

One prob, my friend. His personality?

That's perfect! What a gr8 personality! I sure hope you get a place, so I can use him.

I'm glad you had fun! I always said having fun was the most important thing!

MAZEKA, are you going to your house in... today, or are you staying at your house in...? It would be good if you could go onto Brickipedia and there we could have a live chat together. If Brickipedia is still filtered at the prep school, then can we have a live chat on Custom Bionicle Wiki instead? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 11:10, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

The Divided Alternate Universe Series. The only current instalment is Moonblade. Maybe you could give me a review on Chapter 1?

In what ways does the story not make sense?

I suppose your right

The Children of Teridax
has asked me to recruit you into the club known as The Children of Teridax. If you would like to join, let me know and I will add you to the proper templates and you will be an official member :P.

Glad to hear it! I'll get your username added soon :D.

Hey MAZEKA!!!

I have written a new blog about my opinion on classic LEGO games, which you can see here: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rob-N-Hood/My_Opinion_on_Classic_LEGO_Games

Thanks!!! Rob-N-Hood (talk) 20:00, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I think I may have buggered up where the message went... Whoops. But for the page for your iteration of Tex I think it'd be better if you make it, just cause I'm usually busy, but I'd be happy to oversee it and just make sure it's all cool. Sorry about my lack of presence -- Tex  499

Maybe a noble Kakama if you have one. The one that Photok wears?

I like Pohatu Phantoka's mask, with the visor, if you please. As to entering Delikia, I'd honestly wait until the next round of voting. Tysion has gained too much popularity as it is. Also, did you get my message as to changing Praxam's Kanohi? The Volitak is overused.

Ok

Go for the Tryna for Praxam. P.S. It may also be overused, but I think it's a better Kanohi then the Volitak.

I replaced it myself! Trust me, Delikia is better. :)

Is Sajax's gallery page complete?

Again, a strong MOC with a little problem. The yellow piece on the blade is a color scheme breaker. As to sigs click here and you'll get all the coding you'll need for your own custom signature!

To make that possible, just remove the thumb in the tag and replace it whatever pixel size you want your images to have. -- 22:36, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

Are you going to make others? What's your take on Amacal, for example?

You forgot to use your custom sig :P

If you do the others, I will tell all other competitors that the competition shall close in one month. Go ahead and do them, Amacal first if you please

Hi Mazeka,

I have made my very own LEGO Quiz, so if you want take part, click on this link: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rob-N-Hood/LEGO_Quiz_Challenge!

Thanks! Rob-N-Hood (talk) 17:27, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

I've fixed that blockhead error above! Seriously, PLEASE don't call me TeddKuta EVER again. P.S. When could u have Amacal done?

Cool

On Praxam, keep da Volitak actually. Go for ze Tryna on Amacal

Ur the best. Amacal has no major flaws!

How's life Tom? Any chances of Gantam?

Still here?? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 18:44, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

MAZEKA, when will you be availiable tonight? I need to know because I'm cycling later, and I might not be able to talk to you.

You still here? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 11:27, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Uh huh. You got competition Tom! By der vay, when can Gantam b done?

No problemo! To be honest, I think we actually don't do the voting thing anymore (updating the featured section monthly was getting way too tedious :P). Of course, I have been thinking about bringing it back and changing the update interval as well :3.

MAN! SO GOOD! # GANTAM+AMACAL+SAJAX+PRAXAM+DELIKIAFOREVS

Also, now Rakiru is the only one 2 do. Gotta doit! Gotta complete the full circle!

Part 1 complete! :) http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rob-N-Hood/The_History_of_LEGO_Space_Part_1 Rob-N-Hood (talk) 20:39, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

MAZEKA, it's part 1 of my LEGO Space blog. We were talking about it on the chat earlier, remember? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 21:45, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome-Possum! Rakiru looks beast! Ruru really fits my idea of his personality. P.S. Have you got around to changing Sajax's blade? The yellow/Keetorange breaks up the colour scheme.

MAZEKA, I've just updated the LEGO Racers quiz and have now put in harder questions. See this link: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rob-N-Hood/LEGO_Racers_Quiz_part_2  Rob-N-Hood (talk) 20:25, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hello MAZEKA, I didn't know you could now access Brickipedia from the prep school! Well done at having a go at the questions. :) Rob-N-Hood (talk) 22:59, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

I have updated the quiz, so you can't have tried it yet. Rob-N-Hood (talk) 17:03, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Are th "improvements" on Sajax done yet?

Very popular on the chat tonight, wasn't it? It certainly wasn't like that on Brickipedia. :( Rob-N-Hood (talk) 19:54, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

You on the chat tonight? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 17:32, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Tom, I'll make a deal with you. If you have a go and leave a comment about my updated LEGO Racers quiz, then I shall stop talking about it, OK? See this link:  http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rob-N-Hood/LEGO_Racers_Quiz_part_2 Rob-N-Hood (talk) 19:07, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hello MAZEKA!

In the LEGO Bionicle quiz you got 9 out of 10. The only one you got wrong was question 1, because LEGO Bionicle was created by the LEGO Group.

Congratulations! :) Rob-N-Hood (talk) 11:26, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

My sig page is called User:ReddKuta/Sig. What you do is you copy the name as a template using the template signs: So now you just copy the name of your sig page as a template and there you have it!

You on the chat tonight? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 19:07, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Hello there, MAZEKA!

I was just wondering if you'd like to join my LEGO Castle Wiki, seeing as though it's not all that popular at the moment! See this link: http://lego-castle.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Castle_Wiki

Thanks! Rob-N-Hood (talk) 22:04, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry MAZEKA, just been chatting to Dadaw on my LEGO Castle Wiki. ReddKuta has also decided to join.

By the way, you still on the chat? Rob-N-Hood (talk) 20:25, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

I've just been banned from this site. Seems as if I'll have to stick to Brickipedia. :( Rob-N-Hood (talk) 17:14, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

As I am the founder of my wiki, I can also change the background to whatever I want, and I can change the style of the text wordmark, and the Favicon, and create my own chat. You have to be an experienced member like me if you want to do that. :P
