Monaco Questions

Hey there,

I was recently converted to Monaco, rather quickly I might add, and had a few enquiries hopefully you could help with. I used to be using Monobook.

1. At the top of your main page, instead of Google ads, you have one large banner ad. How?
2. Under article, you have "From Muppet Wiki". I use to have something similar to this under Monobook, however it's not reappearing with Monaco.
3. How did you get Special:AvatarUpload ?

Cheers, LordTBT ^Talk! 03:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, it's nice to talk to you! I'm responding over here 'cause I figure this is where you'd go first anyway.

The ads at the top of the page are determined by Wikia's adserver. Sometimes you'll see Google ads, and sometimes banner ads. I see at the top of this page that there's a bunch of "rat and rodent control" type ads, which is a little weird considering the wiki topic. I guess there aren't a lot of Google ads for "making clothes for your rat" or "preparing dandelion souffle". :)

I changed something in MediaWiki:Common.css to make the page title appear... I'm glad to see it worked.

Having avatars on Muppet Wiki was sort of an experiment that the tech folks were trying out. They wanted to test it somewhere, and I said that it was okay to put it on Muppet. I'm not sure when it'll be available across all wikis, but we should be seeing more stuff like that in the near-ish future.

By the way, I was just poking around and noticed the sentence you added to MediaWiki:Talkpagetext. I know how frustrating it is when people don't sign their posts. That message does seem kind of harsh, though, especially for new people who haven't used talk pages before. It's a little scary to be threatened with a ban every time you leave someone a talk page message, y'know? Anyway, I just wanted to mention it.

Let me know if I can help with anything! Talk to you soon. -- Danny (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, you caught me online. While I've noticed the ads at the top of the pages are either randomly Google or banner ads, I've also noticed on Muppets, Halo, & Wookiee that on the Main Page, the ad is always a banner ad, which looks sleeker than the Google ads when one enters the site. The characters in the books are actually rodents (mice & rats), so it explains the Google ads. I appreciate the Common.css tweak. Over the past week I've had a user who has refused to register no matter how many times I've politely asked them too, and has ignored requests to read our style manual and to sign talk pages. I'm getting a little frustrated applying multiple unsigned templates on a daily basis now. The ban wouldn't be permanent, it would be enough so that when the user was unbanned, they should have versed themselves with the style manual. In the welcome announcement it says sign, at the top of the page it says sign, and at the bottom it says sign. How hard can it honestly be? --LordTBT ^Talk! 03:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

That's funny -- I think you're the first person I've ever seen who prefers the graphic ads to the Google ads. I don't think there's any particular way to tweak that; it's just part of the system.

I totally understand what you mean about the user who won't sign talk pages... That's incredibly annoying, and I think if he can't follow the wiki's guidelines, then a ban is totally appropriate.

So if it's really just one person's problem, then I don't think you need to put it in Talkpagetext. That feels like punishing everyone because one person is being a jerk.

By the way, you can respond right here... I've got your page on my watchlist, so I'll get a notification when you reply. :) -- Danny (talk) 06:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I would definitely say I prefer the graphic ads. More of a professional look imo. But it's hard to believe it's all one "system" when the wikis I listed have a graphic on the main page no matter what, and I've tried refreshing the pages to check. I've taken your advice and modified the text. Cheers for the help. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 06:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

New skin

Wow, I just came by and saw the super-cool new skin. It looks great! :) -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 05:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to second that. The skin and all the layout look just fantastic! You rock! (BTW sorry I went AWOL for a few months. I'm trying to get back here more often these days and will try working on the Facebook thing.) At least I completed the Castaways character list... --Mousethief 05:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Spotlight

Hi LordTBT. Redwall is a great idea for a spotlight and a nice wiki. You have about 40 uncategorized pages (mostly videos, for which there is no category as far as I can tell). Could you please categorize them somewhere? If you will do that you are already great with welcomes and the wiki is in good shape, so we will be happy to spotlight it. -- Wendy (talk) 13:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

That was fast! I should have known it would be when Phillip (Muppets101) said he was a friend of yours :). You're on the list and I'll try to give you a heads up when we actually have the spotlight ready to go. -- Wendy (talk) 20:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Partners

Hello LordTBT, I'd just like to say that I love what you've done to the skin! Looks much nicer! Anyway, I have a proposition for you. Would the Redwall wiki be interested in becoming a partner with the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness wiki? This would be mutually beneficial to both parties, as it would bring users from the Redwall wiki to the CoAD wiki, and vice versa. Allow me to tell you a little about the CoAD wiki; it's a relatively new wiki, set around the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness wiki, written by Michelle Paver. The Redwall wiki and CoAD wiki have a lot in common, being both book series where animals play a large part. Would you be interested? I hope you would, as I would love to add the Redwall wiki to the partners list. Thanks. File:Darthtomsig.png My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 18:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks you. If you look at the sidebar on the CoAD wiki, you will see the Redwall wiki in the friends and partners. Thanks for your acceptance. File:Darthtomsig.png My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 06:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

If you'd like to say anything at all about the CoAD wiki, the Redwall wiki or the partnership, we hope that you'd like to do so here. Thanks. File:Darthtomsig.png My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 13:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that your wiki was a friend! we're currently in a negotiation with another site for partnership, so I sort of got muddled up! Yes, the Redwall wiki is a friend, and I respect its independency. Would you mind writing us the article in the news? You may explain this if you wish. Thanks.

Matimeo

Why did you delete the cover I placed on the Mattimeo page, it is the offical cover for the UK? Thanks--Skittles the hog 12:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Revert/Something just happened.

A few days ago, I wrote a template for Locations... yet now I can't find any trace of it being ever created or deleted. Do you know what happened?

On a side note, do you think we need a location template? (For quick reference etc.)

Thanks!

Rakkety Tam: Finished.

I just last night finished the Rakkety Tam character listing (to the best of my reading). I noticed in the "help wanted" widget, it listed Rakkety Tam and Martin the Warrior as listing unfinished books.... could you update that? Thanks! (Btw, those widgets are very useful.) --Lord Mactalon 21:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi! I was wondering if I could become and admin here. I am very knowledgeable on this subject. One reason I don't have many edits here is because it's so perfect! I am an administrator on the Club Penguin Wiki (webmaster too!) and I know tons about wikis. If you don't want me to, that's fine!

Eulalia!

Hey LordTBT is there any way you can tell me something about the back cover of the United States edition of Mattimeo? I am trying to buy all the old Redwall paperback covers with the back cover art by Troy Howell and wanted to know if there was anything besidesd Brian Jacques picture on the back of Mattimeo. I am pretty sure there is because sullivanet.com's Redwall Encyclopedia has a cropped picture of Basil, Orlando, Jess, and Matthias and it looks like Howell's style of art.

Thanks! --Lord Thunderpaw 00:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikia logo

Hi there! My name's Scott; I'm a Wikia Helper with a focus on Entertainment wikis. Just thought I'd let you know that I was able to get the Wikia logo in the white color you were looking for to match the customized skin. Here's a PSD file if you wish to play with it further. Just make sure the font style doesn't change as that's the company's registered logo.

Also, just so you know, a spotlight for Redwall Wiki has recently started running on Wikia. So you may start seeing some increased traffic in recent changes. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions! —Scott (talk) 18:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Mattimeo Art

Hey LordTBT do you know if there is a full picture of the back cover with the Howell art? And also, do you know somewhere where I could buy it? Maybe you? Thanks.

--Lord Thunderpaw 23:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Mattimeo Art

Yes I can order it but I am worried that it will have Mr. Jacques's pictur eon the back cover instead of the art.

--Lord Thunderpaw 00:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Mother Mellus

As I was flipping through an animal encyclopedia I noticed that the Eurasian Badger's scientific name is "Mele meles" which is pronounced MEL-eez MEL-eez. I know Brian Jacques has used animal's scientific names to come up with character names before (Gulo the Savage-wolverine scientific name: Gulo gulo and Korvus Skurr-raven scientific name: Corvus corax) and Meles sounds a bit like Mellus I think. Just soemthing to think about.

--Lord Thunderpaw 00:46, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Done with Mattimeo..

Can you remove Mattimeo from the "help needed" widget? Thanks. Also, I posted a couple things on the Grubclaw controversy... can you take a look at them? Thanks. --Lord Mactalon 19:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollo

Hey, I added some stuff to Rollo's page. It was basically my first edit that I needed a book to look stuff up in. I added stuff about how he was helpful to solving the riddles in Mattimeo. I don't know about you, but I thought that was a pretty important part in the story, I mean a Dibbun solving like three riddles that lead up to the directions for Matthias and company to follow?

I think its illustrated by Gary Chalk, if you need me to double check I could...its from my old passed-down-from-my-sister Redwall 10th Anniversary Map.

Why?!?

Can we please get the Castaways a new wiki for JUST the Castaways? It gets annoying to have a bunch of Castaways articles on here - this is REDWALL wiki - not Castaways! Rakkety Tam 13:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The (Solitary) Beaver

Hello Lord TBT,

I noticed you have put fan art for Felldoh's and Barkstripe's picture. I have some fan art; people tell me I am good at drawing so perhaps you would like to use it for the beaver? The beaver is not a main character like Felldoh is.

Thanks, --Lord Thunderpaw 15:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Art

So it is a no then? No art? I just thought it was fun drawing a Redwallized beaver. He's loading his sling and he's on the Abbey Grounds on some rubble in the grass.

By the way, is there any characters you absolutely want a picture of? I would be happy to draw it for you.

I never left a message about a link. I think you meant to post your meesage on the user named Rakkety Tam's usertalk page.

Lord Thunderpaw 23:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Link

I saw that you removed the link to the Warriors Wiki because, in your summary, you "could not find a link". The link is here, and if you'd like, you can check the history to make sure it wasn't just added recently.
Eu^{(Talk!Contribs)} 15:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

To find the link, you'd go to the mainpage's talk page, and it is under the advertising section.
Eu^{(Talk!Contribs)} 18:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, I noticed that your user talk archives are stored in the mainspace. It's generally considered good wiki etiquette to keep user namespace-related pages in the user and user talk namespaces, generally by using subpages. Just a suggestion :)

Did Martin break his oath?

• hi I was just think and reading Martin the Warrior (book) and at the end martin say he will never tell anyone about his past at marshank and noonvale but in Mossflower (book) when Gonff the Mousethief asks him about his past martin tells him about Felldoh who died in Martin the Warrior did martin break his oath?. oh and I was wondering how to put the character box on a page but like to the right and in a boxs away from the article its self.

Mistake?

I believe you or another person made a mistake in putting the following picture under a Mossflower cover. [1] —This unsigned comment was added by Lord Thunderpaw (talk • contribs) 04:58, 17 June 2008. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

Nope, this is the French Mossflower. Books have different names in different countries. ;) -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 05:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I believe the above poster was right, Mossflower is Le fils de Luc in French. Martin le guerrier is Martin the Warrior. The fr.wikipedia article about Brian Jacques lists the original titles along with the French titles, which should prove helpful. Drennan 06:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Again, this would be wrong. Just ask the French Redwall Wiki, maintained exclusively by the French! Or even Wikipedia. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 07:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Main Page Transition

Hello LordTBT!

My name is Nathan and I'm a wikia helper with the entertainment team. We're going around helping wikis transition to the new style of main page that will be necessary to support the upcoming ads. I've created a draft of an idea for your main page in order to show the basic layout. Optimally, we'd like to get all main pages rolled over to the format as soon as possible, so feel free to use mine, or improve upon it. If you have any questions you can reach me via my talk page.

Thanks!

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 17:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

That looks great! Did you wanna put it together yourself? I have time to do it, or at least the first draft if you'd like. The needed tags can be a little tricky sometimes.  :)

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 21:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Here ya go! The ads will show up when they're switched on over here, but it should be just like you had pictured. Did you want me to remove those yellow boxes (news update, the countdown) and the welcome message too? I figured they were supposed to be in there, but were complicated to put in the picture.

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 22:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I took those out too. No problem. It is you guyz' main page after all, not mine.  :) I'm just trying to get a main page in place that won't break when the ads are turned on. Do you think we can do that with the current draft, and tweak it more in the future?

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 03:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. Unfortunately, it seems like it's hardcoded into the higher level tags for the upper two columns. To my knowledge, there's no way to get rid of that space. I'll ask some of the upper people and see if they can get rid of it. :)

In the meantime, I minimized it.

Css changes

Hi -- I think the css changes that you made have had some unintended consequences. On wide screens, the logo is repeating on the right side. Also, the spotlights are appearing too high, and butting into the bottom of the page. Here's some screenshots so you can see what I mean. (They might not be happening this way on your browser; I'm using Firefox 3.)

That stuff isn't happening on any other wiki, so I think it's the css... Can you check your code? -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

The Spotlights thing just started happening in the past 24-hours...I changed my CSS weeks ago. In fact, my CSS doesn't even do anything to Spotlights. Additionally, in your screenshot the Wikia logo is missing and the banner ad is incredibly indented. That has nothing to do with any CSS changes I've made. -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 21:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I just played around and figured it out... It's the bit of css that pushes the page down to reveal the background strip. You're pushing the page down 35px, but the spotlights aren't affected by that, so they're appearing 35px too high on the page. -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 22:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm. That sounds like someting that should really be dealt with in the Wikia coding to me... -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 23:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Somebody showed me a css fix, so I added that to Monaco.css, and it works now. Let me know if you see anything else that's weird. -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Fantastic. Thanks Danny. What about repeating logo issue? --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 01:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

The repeating logo is happening because you've got the logo as part of the background strip image. The background strip repeats across the page, so the logo shows up again. It looks like you're using an accent image on the right to cover it up. That works well for a medium-size screen -- but for a wider screen, the accent image pushes over more, and part of the logo is revealed.

I think the way to fix that is to have the original background strip that you had -- just the books. Then use an accent image on the left to add the logo. I'm not a big skin expert, but if you want, I can ask some people that I work with to come and help...

Ad CSS

Hi there. Due to the recent changes to Monaco, the CSS code to make ads distinguishable from contents needs to be updated. Here is the revised version:

#realAd0 iframe, #realAd0 object, #realAd1 iframe, #realAd1 object {
  border: 1px dashed #aaa;
  padding: 14px 0 0 0; 
  background: white url(http://images.wikia.com/rappelz/images/2/28/Ad.png) top center no-repeat; 
}
 
body.mainpage .FAST_HOME1 {
  height:106px !important;
}

The second rule is there to prevent the ad boxes overlapping (Sannse found and reported that bug, thanks to her). Drennan 06:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Danny, no plans to move anywhere! Wikia made me very happy when they disabled ads for registered users.

CSS-Problem: Logo div overlaps menu bar on Monaco

See :Image:20080913-redwall-logosize.png: The marked area overlaps the Edit and History links on every article under Monaco.

Any try to click on the "Edit" falls back to the main page. The Site is not editable under Monaco!

I have changed my skin and disabled the Admin overrider, so I can do an edit here. My browser is Firefox 2.0

The DIV that does it, has name "a" and this attributes (Found with Firefox Web Developer Tools):

Left: 0px; Top: 43px; Width: 500px; Hight: 170px

accesskey = z

href=/wiki/Redwall_Wiki

Is perhaps something from

A few questions and notes

Hi LordTBT, If I'm not mistaken the forcebanner template is used to ensure the ads are banners, rather then boxes, so I thought you might be interested to now there's another way to do it. I just discovered yesterday that banners can be forced by using WIKIA_BANNER, with two underscores on each side (click edit and view my text for an example __WIKIA_BANNER__), within the text - either at the bottom, top, or anywhere else in the article.

And one other thing, although it doesn't matter, I'm just curious, why are the archives of your talk page in the main namespace at TBTArchive1, etc, instead of User talk:LordTBT/Archive1, etc.

Manuals

I'm not saying that the manuals "Don't help." I'm not saying that all. Heck, that's where I learned how to work on this wiki. I said the manuals "dont seem to help." Not through personal experience, but through observations. Redwall obsessor, Black Hawk, and Aranta(drunkambrose) seemed to have immsense trouble figuring out how to use the wiki even after reading the manuals. Aranta(drunkambrose) even said they are confusing. So, I said that in case the user I was helping had read the manuals and still didn't understand them didn't feel foolish.

Seriously though, at times they can be a little confusing. Nothing to sweat over though.

Also, about the show changes button, the only reason I said "you can ignore that" is this, I don't want to overwhelm who I'm helping. I just wanted to cover the necessary basics. If I took the time to explain every little detail, the message would be overwhelming and far too confusing. By the way, in case I didn't say this, what I wanted to say was, "You can ignore that." I didn't want to get a message across saying, "You have to ignore that."

Sorry for any trouble or confusion I may have caused. --Some random redwall fan File:Martin002.jpg ^Talk! 04:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, nevermind, I want at least some remnant of my work to be here. It's two year of work and I don't want to part with it so easily

Summary bar and Show changes

I feel as if I owe you an explanation for the things I have said about the summary: bar and the show changes button. Please understand that I am not trying to say, "Never use the show changes button and summary bar." I understand that both of them have certain, important functions. I should know, I have used them both. When I try to explain how we do things on the wiki to new users, I try and look through their perspective for a second.

The wiki system is complicated. There is no doubt about that. Long, confusing tags are needed to accomplish certain tasks (such as centering and color changing) and it can be difficult to understand how to do something as simple as adding a sentence or two to a page. When I first joined, it took me about three days to finally figure out how to install a link or even edit a page! So when I help someone, I walk them through the BASIC way to work things, not THE DETAILED, OVERWHELMING way. Basically, if I went through the function of ever single button, my walkthrough would probably add to the overall confusion.

Also, this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but look at it through the psychological standpoint for a second. Every new user, when they join, immediately wants to jump right in and start editing, chatting in the community, start a story, whatever. When they find out the system is long and complicated, they'll hesitate. I try to walk them through in a basic, easy to understand way so that hesitation is halted. Furthermore, this may happen to a rare few, when they read manuals and feel confused afterwards, they may feel stupid and unsure of themselves. This usually triggers a yearning to leave the site and never go back to it.

But how does all this tie in with the Show Changes and Summary: bar? THe first main problem that I have covered is the overwhelming feeling a new user might experience. Long, extremely detailed walkthroughs usually don't help with the confusion, they worsen it. THe second main problem is fear. I don't know about you, but when I first saw that summary bar, I freaked. I was terrified that I was going to do something wrong and recieve a warning or even get banned! I wanted to eliminate that feeling of uncertainty by saying that the summary bar isn't too big of a deal. Important and recommended, yes, but nothing to really worry and fret over.

The third and final reason is another psychological one. I wanted to let the new user know that other, more experienced users and admins are here to answer questions. When a confused user recieves a message giving an easy-to -understand walkthrough on how to work things, they might realize that it isn't just machines running the wiki. It will help them get out there and join the community, you know?

Anyhow, I apologize for any misunderstandings or trouble I may have caused. --Some random redwall fan File:Martin002.jpg ^Talk! 04:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

PS: I deeply apologize for the language slip on my Red Tide (II). I had figured it wouldn't be too huge of a deal mainly because Brian Jaques uses 'hell' quite often in his stories, so any redwall reader wouldn't be too deeply troubled, since they would be used to hearing it.

You did, however say to "ignore" the Show Changes, while I on the other hand, was forced at one point to create a graphic to explain where the button is located so people would use it more often. And people still don't use it enough! So please, do not suggest that it is not to be used under any circumstances. Just look at the RC page. There are times when I use SP and still miss things!

I think the easiest way to understand how the wiki system works is by looking at a page source and the help pages. You have to remember even I was new at one point, and I only want it to be easy for everyone too.

The manual is not "complicated", and is written in simple language no more advanced than Brian Jacques. Considering most people here read authors even more advanced than Brian Jacques, claiming the Manual is tough to me suggests failure to read through the entire thing. Someone has yet to pinpoint a specific area that is not clear enough.

If you'd like to discuss overwhelming, what about 8 people writing on your talk page so that every time you log in you have a new message notice from people you don't know yet?

Unfortunately, the "long" walkthrough is the only way to do it, and this is based on my years of experience with this website and in circumstances not involving the internet. Everything must be detailed so that it is absolutely clear what/what not to do. If something is in question, additions can be made or they can ask an admin or another user a question. However I would also note that each subsection of the Manual is incredibly brief, no more than 2 paragraphs. It's not like it's Moby Dick we're talking about here.

Banning for improper use of the summary bar is quite silly, especially if you had read the "Spamming and Vandalism Policy" in the Manual which outlines how/why someone would be banned. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 05:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

When I said "you can ignore that," the message I meant to get across is, "It is optional." Remember, when a lot of technical information is covered at once it CAN BE, not that IT ALWAYS IS, overwhelming. Not overwhelming in a sense that you lean back clasp your head, and moan. But overwhelming in a sense that your brain tries to absorb all that is given at once and results in hopeless confusion. That usually isn't a good thing. Also, please understand that I'm not trying to pick an argument (not that you may have gotten that message), but I simply want to help. Just like you, I want to make the transition into the wiki as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Plus, see the comment below. I might have found the trouble with the manuals. --Some random redwall fan File:Martin002.jpg ^Talk! 05:20, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Help with the manuals

I have also been curious on why new users have been confused with the help manuals, so I went back and read through them again. I put myself back in the perspective of a new, inexperienced user and tried to find everything I could that seemed a confusing or hard to understand.

Note I am looking at the basic Manual of Style (How to Edit)

There is really only one problem with the help manual. However, it is so critical that now I understand why people are having such a hard time learning how to work the site. The huge problem is this:

• Need-to-know, extremely vital information, such as how to edit a page (what to click and where) and how to add internal links is not even covered!

I'm not saying that it isn't covered at all, but it it needs to have it's own, primary section, preferably towards the begining. I swear, I never saw anything on how to edit a page (even if it is sort of obvious) and saw what an internal link was only once in the middle of a section located near the bottom. ([[link]] names, places, etc...)

That is really the only problem.

TO be honest, I truly learned how to technically work on this wiki on a different site (wiki-help, something or another). True, the language is easy to understand, but the technical information, when given, is not and hard to see anyway. The least you (or whoever does the manuals) can do is add an external link to a section of a wiki help site.

The easiest way I could possibly put it is this: it isn't really user-friendly. The entire manual is just guidelines. How-to Technical information needs to be added. The new users, for the most part, are not extremely well technical-educated. Heck, I'm not either! THe manual needs to cover extremely vital technical information, like how to edit (what to click), how to add internal links, and whatnot. Nothing needs to be taken out or changed, but a new section needs to be added. If you wish, I am here to help or write it myself.

I hope this helped. --Some random redwall fan File:Martin002.jpg ^Talk! 05:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

PS: You're right, the long way is the only way to do it. And after I re-read the manual, I realize it is written in short, basic chunks that make it easy to read. You are entirely right. Sorry.
But I still think a new section detailing how to add links and edit pages, and technical info in general, needs to be added.

There is already a poll for the month of December, generally I manage the poll each month. Also your signature image is way too large, please reduce it to something similar to the size of mine, thanks. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 22:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Please

Will you please talk to Black hawk? His stories are very disturbing. Could you have him tone them down. Thank you.

Idea

I had a discussion with C.S. Maid and I came up with an idea. Violence has become somewhat of an issue with Fan fiction stories of the late, as was proved by C.S.'s request.

Now, most of us authors won't necessarily be totally happy about removing several elements from our stories, but I came up with an idea on how to work it so everyone would be satisfied. First of all, all offensive content would be removed from the current stories. But, I am aware of a fan fiction site, I can't remember the exact address, that allows you to post fanfics for Redwall and several other books. As far as I know, this site is not bothered by violent content. Just the typical "Try not to go overboard" rule. Anyhow, if the normal, un-edited stories were posted on that site, and there was an external link in the story that lead to it, everyone would be satisfied.

The version posted on the wiki would be user-friendly and following guidelines, while the external link would lead to the normal, un-edited version. Do you have any complaints against this idea? --Some random redwall fan File:Martin002.jpg ^Talk! 01:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Fine with me. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 04:28, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Where's my Fan Fic?

Um.. I noticed that The Last Stand Of Redwall Abbey is missing from the fan fiction page and I'm pretty sure I registered it. What happened to it?

Can you also delete After Pearl's of Lutra? I found a new flash drive and saved the story on it. Thanks

Signatures

I was wondering if it would be possible to improve the Signature help page. The page does not make sense to many people because it does not bring up how to make a custom signature with colors and images, and it can be confusing to look at the wikia format. The most common ways to get a custom signature are to 1) take a signature and change simple things or 2) get one from someone who knows how to do it. The first method can lead to problems, especially with images. Another thing is that sometimes people confuse what is the link's destination and what appears on the page. The second method doesn't fix the problem, but delays it at the minimum. If we could improve the page, we could stop the signatures that appear as the code, signatures that don't lead to the correct page, and signatures with large images. I'm sad to say that Sambrook's signature help is actually easier to understand for most users than the wikia's. -Black Hawk File:Argulor.jpg ^Talk! 23:16, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

The possibilities with signatures are endless. What Sambrook explains is how to make a signature just like mine, which I actually already explain in the FAQ. Anyone looking at the example signature can notice that "green" obviously is the color, where my image is located, and which tags lift up the "talk" text. I'm not so sure that if you're unfamiliar with HTML, you should be messing with your signature code. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 23:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I changed it now, hope its better
