Yey! I'm really happy to see you back :D

There's still a lot that needs to be done around here, so you can tackle whatever you're in a mood for. Also you could check out the new Community Discussion and leave your comment on what you think our "categorization policy" should be. --Anon talk 12:03, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Tabs
I was a little skeptical about this a first, but it actually looks great and makes navigation much easier, although we could change the colors a bit, make the border thiner and adjust the color of the infobox.

P.S. I'll be shifting my focus from this wiki to the Fallout wiki, due to the new game that is coming out in a couple of days, I'll still keep an eye on this wiki, but I propably won't edit much save for reverting vandalism. --Anon talk 16:40, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know if the border looks better now, if not 'agreabl' with you, you can change it back :)
 * Also, since I always neglect the answers wiki and since you've shown some interest in it, so I gave you some shiny bureaucrat powers there, hope you don't mind :D --Anon talk 21:44, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Toadstool
Hey, how would you feel about adding a new admin?

Toadstool has created an 'admin request', I'd like to get your opinion on whether we need more admins and if he would be a good choice for the job. Thanks :) --Anon talk 14:56, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

re:Admin
If you what but i don't mind :) AF talk 11:45, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Videos
I agree, this would be the right thing to do, also there's only 13 'video articles' and they get very little views, so this wouldn't be too much of a problem. --Anon talk 16:36, October 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think we have anything to fill it with unless you have any ideas. --Anon talk 00:26, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

My bot
With the right software it can do anything, the problem is I still lack the skill :)

I'm sure it can go through 'Unused Images' and delete them all, but I don't know how to do it yet, first I'd need to learn how to use python, I tried to learn it on a couple of occasions but it's just too damn difficult :) I'm currently using the AutoWikiBrowser, it's much easier to handle but it has less functions, I'll check again if an option like that is available on the AWB. --Anon talk 23:52, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi, Neocarleen,

''I was looking forward to become an administrator of South Park Wiki. I've made all the requirements that previous administrators asked me. I got more than thousand contributions and am active almost every day. I can also help you with many questions that most contributors are asking, such as Clyde's real surname. I have a great source of help and I've also created several FAQ pages and answered questions there. Can you make me or at least tell me what else should I do to become an administrator. ''

Thank you for your attention, American4real 00:26, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'm still not sure if he can be trusted with admin powers, but I would give him a try if he became more active. --Anon talk</tt> 02:06, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Mysterion Suspects
I'm pretty sure we don't need it anymore :D

Also going back to unused images. I started deleting the low quality images yesterday and will continue deleting them today. --Anon talk</tt> 20:50, November 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I still haven't figured it out how to make a bot do it :(
 * Right now, I'll just delete the worst ones, that have no chance of ever being posted in an article :) --Anon talk</tt> 21:06, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. The South Park Archives look great and I have added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:52, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Leaderboard
It looks like the leaderboard's appearance is being updated by wikia, that might be the reason for it not displaying properly. The same thing happens on all wikis that use badges, this should be fixed soon.

Also, I replied to the countdown message on my talk page. --Anon talk</tt> 22:23, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown timer
I managed to remove 'T plus' and 'T minus' all together, is that what you wanted to do or do you want to insert something else in there?

I tried to change it a couple of months back, but couldn't. It appears that this message This message will be displayed if the timer does not show up (like if you do not have javascript enabled on your browser) was preventing the changes from being visible. How it managed to do it is beyond me :) --Anon talk</tt> 05:59, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Spoiler free
Here I made a prototype that goes as far as season 1:

http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Spoiler_Free_List_of_Episodes

Some of it is still pretty rough, but I think I've got the new table format of how to contain each episode's contents without saying what the plot is pretty well figured out. In fact, I think a lot of people will vastly prefer this article if it can be refined, because I'm sure some newcomer will just browse the "celebrities/pop culture" box until they say something along the lines of "WHOA! That episode has THIS in it? Gotta watch it."

Also notice how the information about Kenny being replaced in season 6 is removed. Oh, and some pictures of episodes are a little too revealing. Especially Scott Tenorman Must die. So we can change some of the images too.

I was starting to have my own doubts about this but now I think it will work, and considering that at least a few hundred people view the episodes page every day (I'm assuming), this page will certainly be useful to a lot of people. Davoo 18:26, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

In Images im 100% crap at it i can't do any thing with that Scripts maybe but it will take me time to do it up i need to think about if i what to join the project and as i was lokking at it there is work to be done on it so yea i think i can help. p.s i don't get the spoiler free thing that davoo is doing wahts the point it's like this

Cartman tells his friends about an odd nightmare he had the previous night involving alien visitors abducting him from his bed. Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Chef all try to convince him that his dream really happened.

i think it may be JUST maybe work im not sure but im never going to stop him on it AF talk</tt> 22:17, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Adding pictures
Thank you very much for bringing this up. Since day two at this Wiki one of the top, most important things I've always kept in my mind was "Do not achievement-boost." I could come up with dozens of ways to get quick medals without breaking rules, but then I would just be playing an MMO. ;\ I know that there are image pages for all the episodes, but those--to my understanding--are more like stock images for people who want to use them. Having pictures inside the plot section, I was thinking, would be more for helping tell the story. Better yet, someone who's looking for an episode they can't quite remember (probably one of the top reasons why someone is at this website) will be able to more quickly recognize what they're looking for.

I also think it will simply make people enjoy reading our articles more. Wikipedia articles rarely go ten paragraphs without a picture, and people like it that way. I know that when you look at the mass of images, you can't get out of your mind how the person who put them there is just out to get medals (I can't get that out of my mind, either), but if the person did a good job, the casual reader will like them.

About the number of images. I think it should be as many as is needed to illustrate most of the story. A lot of the old episodes need four or five pictures because they had so many sub-plots and introduced so many characters. But the recent ones only need two at most. But, if you think that more than two pictures just won't do, then I guess I'll stop.

And about the size of the images. Again, I think it should be as big as it needs to be. For one thing, the wide images have to be a lot wider, but narrow images (like ones that just display a character) can be more narrow. (<That is a weird-sounding sentence<.) Another thing is I bet how crowded the images look depends on your display. Like, your font settings and such. Oh and what timing; I just finished giving pictures to Fantastic Easter Special, where I made the images REAL big. The thing is, the plot is so long and huge for that episode, that I really felt it important to have an equal amount of visual stimulation to go along. So I went for a different format in that one and made them really big. Again, if you think it's absolutely necessary to keep them below 250 pixels, I'll do that.

If you feel that any of this still has to do with achievement-boosting (I still kind of have that feeling upon myself) then perhaps one should make an alt account to do it with? That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Man it's really great to finally have another active admin to talk to. =) Longest Wiki message by me ever. Amazing. Davoo 08:54, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh. Well then!
 * Thumbs-up-low-res.jpg
 * Thank you. By the way, do you use the WYSIWYG editor that much, or do you use the "<>Source" view more often?Davoo 09:09, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, me too. It's funny, when I'm in "What you see is what you get", I can't see what I'm doing at all. It's nice that Wiki coding is one of the few languages I can fully wrap my head around. Also, if you ever wonder why I'm adding pictures to episodes in the order that I am, the answer is: I have no idea. Variety, maybe? I'm keeping a tight record on which ones I've covered though, so I won't loose track. Davoo 09:19, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Website icon
The website icon (the small image right beside the URL) looks a little crappy, doesn't it? I mean it's okay, but for how high-caliber this place has gotten, I think it deserves something better. I don't know who even has the power to change the icon, but I was thinking it might be a nice thing to do. These are some other icons that are the perfect size and are up for free usage... http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr99/TheDavoo/9-1.png http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr99/TheDavoo/6.png http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr99/TheDavoo/7b-1.png Do you think these ones look better? Does anybody else care? Davoo 12:10, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Slider
Hey, wikia has this new feature called the 'Slider', you can check out how it works here.

Do you think we should ask wikia to activate it here? If so, we should pick out what we want to feature on it i.e, episodes, characters, locations, and which images we should use for them.

I already created some images, which you can see here. Unfortunately all the images have to be 620×250px, so it's pretty hard to find decent images that can be cropped to those dimensions. Let me know if you like any of those images and if you think we could use on the 'slider'. --Anon talk</tt> 20:36, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just sent the request, it should be active by Tuesday.


 * I'll put some random pictures on it first, just to see how it all looks. Feel free to change it whenever you want. --Anon talk</tt> 02:24, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Slider customization
Hey, I finally figured out why the changes from MediaWiki:Slider never appeared on the main page, it appears that all the slider pages in the MediaWiki namespace can be edited only once and the first revision to that page will always appear, even if the page is deleted (probably gets automatically stored it the JavaScript).

Also check out how the newly customized slider looks and let me know if anything needs to be changed, if you want to change something yourself, you can do so here :) --Anon talk</tt> 17:56, December 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not 100% sure, it may be that the data gets cached and then gets removed after everything gets updated, we'll see in a day or two :)


 * I removed the headers and left just the description (which acts as a h2 header), but we can change it back at any time (I copied the idea from the Avatar wiki :D). --Anon talk</tt> 03:17, December 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * You were right, the slider updated itself :)


 * Now, I'll try to get some images for SP:BL&U. --Anon talk</tt> 02:41, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Gallery slider
This one looks much better, and it's easier to use :) --Anon talk</tt> 13:56, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
