Excessive Vandalism?
Why is the main page talk page blocked because of "excessive vandalism"?

In Regards to That Last Message...
Ok. It's just not working for me. I was wondering if you could spread the word about the website I'm building for BIONICLE fans called Dexium TV. It features fan-made videos, and I'm trying to spread the word. If you could get it on the home page, that would be awesome. Thanks!

MOCs that aren't mine
Hey, i was wondering...can I use MOCs from other people? Not from this wiki of course, but like from deviantart or from google images? I cant make MOCs anymore due to my little brother destroying all my bionicles. So can I?

Re
I do not have permission, but the administrators let Ids5621 upload a while back(which is actually from the same exact site), and all I'm going to use it for is my userpage, and I'm going to give credit there too, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem. Guess not.

Thats actually his opinion but my pages have been on here since last year and i havent had complaints with it being wikified, except with the malo nui page for awhile, and he might even be new to this, so just because its not good enough to him doesn't mean he can put that on here, unless he's an admin.

Gdude00 14:07, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

just a note, Malo Nui has been noticed before and it had the wikified sign up before and i improved it when it had that sign so there is no use for you to put that on there.

Being an admin dosen't give you power

Dear sir,

I was just notified that you deleted a page I was working on about an OC Water Toa named Nalu. I don't quite understand the reason for your decision. I understand that you have an OC of your own named Nalu, but I didn't base my character off yours. I've actually been working on my character for a while, and I got the name from the Hawaiian name Nalu, which means "wave". I just joined this wiki site recently and wanted to put my own ideas up. Is there some Wiki rule against creating a character that happens to have the same name as an already existing character? Was there some rule I somehow broke with the page content? If so, I assure you it was not intentional.

Sincerely,

Nynrah Ghostwriter

P.S. Is there some private messaging feature on this site? If this turns into a lengthy conversation, I think PMs would be more convenient than filling up your user talk page.

RE: Deleted Page
Dear sir,

I suppose I can understand why you deleted the page. A mostly empty page isn't much to look at. However, I was going to update it to fill in more of the spaces very soon. The only reason I didn't do it when I last edited it was because I had to attend to other matters on my part of the globe. And all of my pages are works in progress, though admittedly slightly more developed than the Nalu page was at the time of its erasing. Will they be deleted too?

What, by your standards and this wiki's standards, is the minimum of what is considered "a page with the right headings, and the right templates"? Also, when I try to create links to the other wiki pages I've created on this site, the link edit feature only works with the external link setting rather than the wiki page setting since the window says that the page I'm linking to doesn't exist. Why is that? If the pages were created on wiki, they should technically exist, correct?

Is there some sort of rule against working on wikia pages little by little? Is there some requirement for users to have a semi-solid composition before uploading their topics and works? If so, then I must have missed it while I was reading the wikia policies. If there's anything else I've missed, would you mind informing me, as I hope to avoid any incidents similar to this in the future?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Nynrah Ghostwriter 13:13, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Regarding Deleted Page
Well, thank you for the information. I'll try to go over the guidelines as much as I can this week. This is my very first wiki account, so I'm still learning the ropes. And there seem to be a lot of ropes.

I can't promise to have the pages I have up now completed by tomorrow, but I will have them more fleshed out by the weekend at least. I'm still brainstorming as well.

By the way, do you know why the link function only works with external links in my case? I'm still exploring wiki and puzzling over the reason.

Well, thank you again for your time. Please take care.

RE: Funny links

Well, when I try to make a link to another page from a page I'm creating, I use the link button in the edit to add the link. The link window pops up to let me input the URL for the link, and there's also the option to make the link one to an external link or to a wiki page. Every time I tried to make a link from one of my pages to another of my pages (e.g. my profile page to one of my OC description pages on Custom Bionicle), I tried to choose the wiki page option for the link, only to get a message that the wiki page didn't exist. I don't know why the page doesn't register in the wiki.

Re-Element Lord of Plasma
Just to let you know that I no longer needed or wanted that page and was planning to have it deleted anyway. Thanks.

Hey there old friend. :P

Well, I've tried not to make too big a deal of this recently but, similarly to a couple of months ago, I have exams coming around the corner and I really mustn't be tempted to edit. Now, my final exam is in a month's time, on May 25th, and I was wondering if I could be blocked again. If so, I would be very greatful if you could block me for a month on this wiki. I'm going to take the extra precaution of asking a friend to change my password for me so I cannot be contacted for the next month.

Thank you. :D

RE: Funny links
When I checked the source view for my editing on my profile page, the links showed the link enclosed by a pair of square brackets, one on either side.

It works as far as getting me to the page I want to access at least.

The example you gave me had two square brackets on either side of the link, making a total of four brackets. What exactly is the difference between having two or four brackets? I'm trying to look for a guide on the coding for source editing, especially on syntax for features like bolding and links and such, but I'm having a bit of trouble locating the page. I know I came across something like it once a short while ago, but I've forgotten where it was.

Also, I'm not sure if it explains why the link's target page doesn't register as being a wiki page on this site.

Anyway, I'll try experimenting with the example you gave me. Thank you for your time.

Nynrah Ghostwriter 23:51, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Funny links
I actually use the "Visual" window when I edit or create a page rather than the "Source" view. I rely on the bold, italics, etc. buttons for the most part and only resort to the Source if I have to correct something that's not working like an indent refusing to go back to the original position or anything else that can't be fixed except by going to the Source. When I made links for my pages, I always used the link button, never coding in the Source. It's not how the link works that I have a problem with so much as the reason why my pages don't register as wiki pages when I use the link button in the edit.

I could try using the double brackets in the Source in future pages, but it wouldn't make a huge difference (to me anyway) since the end results are the same as when I use single brackets or just rely on the link button. The only thing really bugging me is why the wiki pages I'm linking are always classified as not existing. I'm wondering if it's a malfunction in the wiki or just a glitch on my end. Hmm…

Well, thank you for your time again. Please take care.

P.S. I created a new page today, one about Matoran shorthand, complete with picture. Does it fulfill the requirements? I sort of skimmed through the outlines for character, object, etc. pages, but there wasn't a template for the language or society category, so I followed the object template and just put in history, trivia, and a description.

RE: Funny Links
Sorry. Just continuing from my previous message. The double bracket link source coding comes in handy, but when I decide to recreate my Nalu page, I'd have to phrase the link as "Nalu (Toa Kana)" enclosed by double brackets, right? And the link would be in the "Nalu (Toa Kana)" format as well rather than just "Nalu", I'm guessing. I'm trying to avoid that, so I'll probably use the link button in the edit, but the last times I did, I kept getting the "this page doesn't exist in wiki" message. I'm not sure what's going on...

RE: Funny Links
Wait, never mind. I think I might have gotten what I'm getting wrong with the internal-external links. Thank you for your time, DevilGuy.

Nynrah Ghostwriter 09:45, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Links to other sites
Hello, DevilGuy. How are things on your part of the globe?

I have a question about linking to other pages for the purpose of showing other users where to find additional materials or stories related to my works. I read one Wikia policy that says that links to external websites are not to be used to advertise another website, so I'm not sure if what I want to do for my profile is allowed, even though I'm not exactly sure if it could be considered as advertising.

Well, I'm working on some stories featuring my Bionicle OCs, but I'll probably be posting them on Fanfiction.net first rather than on here. And some of the stories might be like one of those 50 word prompt oneshots meant for artistic expression and such, which probably wouldn't really work on a wiki.

Once I've gotten the stories figured out, I'll most likely make story pages for them here, but until I do, would it be acceptable for me to put a link in my profile page under the part that says "My Stories" that points to my FF.net page and the Bionicle stories it will contain? Or maybe even put the individual links to my future stories from FF.net in the list for reference?

Well, thank you for your time. I'll continue reading through the Wiki guidelines and rules.

I'm not sure who wrote the article, whoever it was please thank them for complimentive of me, but I feel that people should know the truth about who my self-moc really his, Cailleax, not Sulferius.

Regarding URL name changes
Hi, Devil Guy! How are things on your part of the globe?

I've been doing a bit of editing with some of my pages, and I've been wondering if it would be possible to change my URLs for better organization. When I tried to make the page for Nalu, for example, there was already a page for "Nalu", so I used "Nalu_(Toa_Kana)" for my page instead. I suppose it's a little late for me to do the same for some of my earlier pages. My page for my OC Pano is just labeled "Pano", but my page for the Kanohi Feru is "Feru_(Kanohi)" since another user made a page about a character named Feru. My page URLs feel a bit inconsistent as a result. If I had the choice, I'd give all of my headcanon creations an "(NGW)" tag to better indicate their connection to me.

I read somewhere that it was possible for a Wikia admin or someone to change a page's URL, but I wasn't sure if it was true. Is it possible? Or do I have to start a new page from scratch and give it the proper title then? What would happen to the old page? Is it possible to delete it? I couldn't see any delete option the last time I opened an edit page.

Thank you for your time and take care.

Regarding URL name change (cont.)
Hi, Devil Guy! Thanks for the reply. I'll have to try out what you told me when I get the chance to properly focus on all of my pages. And, yes, I'll leave another message if I have any questions about the process, thank you.

Just out of curiosity, what will happen to the old URLs once I move the pages? Will they just vanish from the database? Will someone else be able to use them if the space is cleared?

Thank you for your time.

Moving Pages (continued…)
Hi, DevilGuy! Thank you for your help with the page teleportation. It seems to have worked well, and I'm pretty happy with the results. ^_^

On a different note, I have a new concern about the CB Wiki. I was checking my "Toa Page" when I noticed that something had been edited without my notice. To be specific, in the "My Stories" section, Someone had put single quotes around the "Untold" in "BIONICLE: Untold Tales of the Matoran Universe". The bolding effects had been messed up as well. I've already fixed it, but I'm curious as to why someone decided to edit my profile page. Or was it just a computer glitch that caused the format to be altered? I've noticed that the Visual editing buttons won't work properly on occasion, resulting in the bold or italics button not working no matter how many times I click it and requiring me to switch to Source editing mode. And sometimes, I'll publish a recently edited page only to find that the area I'd bolded has bold lettering in the wrong places.

Well, that's all I have for today's message. Thank you for your time and please take care.

I'll put the characters up later, but my main concern is the fact that you may not allow the snippit to be put up. It is supposed to be a horror/sci-fi story, like Alien. I was going to ask for permission to put this up, or else I would be kicked off of the wiki, and I don't want that. So is there anyway I can put this snippit of my story up?

Allow me to loose my temper with all the stubs you placed on my articles. Why are you such a Stub Nazi??? I've barely started on my wikipedia articles, and you make them stubs! Are you trying to destroy my story before it has even begun?? WHY?!!

I mean, what would expect out of a college student who doesn't have as much time as he should to work on his Wiki?

Well, I'm sorry, but I get really irratated when I've get a stub for a newly formed page.

Oh, cool! :D Thank you very much, I didn't know that I'll try to put it to use where I can. It was very kind of you to show me. :P
