Helping out
Hi, I'm Paweł from Wikia's Content Team. Given the attention that the game and the wiki is getting recently, we'd like to help you out here - is there anything you think needs special attention that I could help with? I was definitely thinking of redesigning the main page to make it more attractive. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Ausir(talk) 23:54, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * That sounds good to me but Dratini17 is the man in charge. :) -- Osculate(talk) 02:57, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hidable/Collapsible Tables
Hey m8,

Could you consider adding a piece of Javascript which enables hidable/showable/collapsible tables? This way, I can make more templates without spamming every item with info.

There's a bit of code and info on the official Wikipedia.

Thanks!

 * Done. -- Osculate(talk) 12:54, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Doesn't seem to work yet (Checked in FireFox and IE on my talk page) I can imagine you wouldn't want to waste too much time with it, but if you have a minute please have another look :) --Gemberkoekje 14:17, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Works for me in Chrome. You might need to clear cache. -- Osculate(talk) 15:00, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh that's very well possible, I'll check it at home in a few hours --Gemberkoekje 15:01, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it doesn't work in Firefox or IE. Interesting. -- Osculate(talk) 15:04, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * : The original page works in my FireFox, but not in my IE... it's iffy at best... unfortunately. --Gemberkoekje 15:06, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Video Overload
I need your advice once again. We're getting WAY too many videos uploaded and I'm getting to the point where I keep the shortest one with all the information. Is it possible to have, like, a wiki meeting on the subject? Possibly adding officially rules or regulations to posting videos? Zenofire


 * I'm pretty fed up with the whole video situation. Closest I can offer to a "wiki meeting" is the discussion at User_blog:Osculate/Video_Content which I know you're participating in. We definitely need to get something figured out though. It's ridiculous.

Vandalism
Hey, Oculate, I know we've been having quite some vandalism on the wiki, and I've been thinking: wouldn't it be best to make a specific talk page for it, like a "Vandalism Reports" page? That way, we can know things like, for example, what pages are the most targeted, who keeps vandalising them, etc... If you think it's best to keep things this way, fine by me, just giving my two cents ;D -Franx12 14:58, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've been thinking the same thing myself lately. I do monitor the other admin's pages but a central place would be better. Maybe in the forum section. -- Osculate(talk) 00:33, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Tweaks
Hello, my name is Nic from the Wikia Content Team. Noticed that your main page could use some work, would it be ok if I tweak it a bit for you? - Wagnike2 17:02, June 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. Avoid the Noid though. -- Osculate(talk) 17:37, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Shifting links towards first references.
I know that the typical reference system within a wiki is to cite the first cross link as soon as it is mentioned in an article. However, people love to drag and drop full paragraphs when they edit their pages. So how vital do you think this is? When I'm adding links to existing pages, if I see the second mention linked instead of the first, I just don't have the energy to unlink, search for first reference to make sure, re-link, etc.

How vital do you think this is?


 * I try to always fix it to first reference. Major edits on most articles are settling down lately so it should be a little easier to keep it up. The problem with too many links is that it can be a huge performance drag on the wiki so it's fairly important. -- Osculate(talk) 01:23, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Got rid of the porn...
Well, since no one seems to be online, I tried getting rid of the porn by overwriting it with placeholder images. Hope it doesn't cause any issues, but, yes x.=.x

~Salrith This is, like most things, sadly not a monocle. 07:07, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for covering some of them up; they're permanently deleted now. It doesn't really cause any problems other than it can sometimes make it difficult to see who is actually uploading the porn, but we can figure it out. -- Osculate(talk) 15:21, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

I am TheAntiVandal.

Thank you for fixing the items page.

i was temporarily banned?
I Do not remember doing any vandalism of any sort. refresh my memory please.

Just would like to point out im usually fixing pages, not messing them up, is this about where the copper armor got "messed up" and then i tried to fix it while someone else was, and then i accidently made it into some kinda of coded thing? Port5 02:38, June 17, 2011 (UTC)port5


 * You didn't sign with any meaningful information so I can't tell. Please use four tildes to sign so I at least have something to go on. Sometimes mistakes happen. :) -- Osculate(talk) 02:09, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to point that out really.. i really do try to make this wiki better.. do you mean you need my ip or something?

very neat. also would like to point out, my ip[| 75.85.74.47] was blocked, but not this account, my ip was blocked since june 13, and ended today. not a very good system.


 * Sign with four tildes like I said above and like it says at the top of the page so I can see who you are. -- Osculate(talk) 02:27, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

some one deleted the eviroments

hey, its port5 again, i just wanted to point out that some dude, ip [|68.2.63.146], vandalized the space gun page, it was fixed, but you need to do something about this guy. the ip itself doesn't show, but the link is still working.

Blocking?
I've never commented on this Wiki at all. Just lurked.

Why am I blocked, and why am I blocked by /you/?

you need to let him know who you are first.

TheAntiVandal here.

I will continue making edits on vandalism and simply sharing myknowledge.

(p.s. :P)

Videos
Are you getting rid of all videos? And may I assist you with the purge? ~Zenofire


 * For now, yes. The "boss" has selected an "official" video provider so we can put an end to this nonsense. But yes, right now I'm pretty much removing everything, even his, and we can straighten it out later. Feel free to help. Thank you. :) -- Osculate(talk) 01:03, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * It will be my pleasure sir ~Zenofire

I need to ask you something.

Will you give me the power to ban porners from the wiki?TheAntiVandal 08:24, June 18, 2011 (UTC)TheAntiVandal

Hey '''Osculate! I know we have had a bit of a run in with posting videos. Well I decided to post the highest possible quality videos instead of just pulling other videos down mostly because i realised what i was doing was silly and not long term. So thank you. This made me want to make such good videos people would want my videos over others. It seems thats the way it is and i was chosen by this wikis creator to post all the new vids and to do them in hi quality. we did a few test videos the most recent you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayDRsCE8Dt0 '''and i hope you agree is the best quality and flatterning to the wiki that has been out to date.

'''I want to thank you so much for setting me straight that day. i would not have made videos this hi of quality and gotten such good recognition from the creator of the wiki. also me and him have become great friends now as well. SOOO i would like to start fresh with you aswell! and would like to be great friends! you have done such an awesome job on the wiki! soooooooo many edits. im not the best with grammar or spelling so i know you are the guy for the job i will stick to videos and do what i do best. someday i hope i will have as many edits as you and will have helped the wiki as much as you!'''

again your awesome and i want to be great friends in the future. do you have skype/steam/youtube?


 * I don't have any problem with you and even told Trent that your videos were among the best. So no worries. I'm just glad to have a resolution to the video issue. lol -- Osculate(talk) 18:14, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

The purge
I heard about the purge and have been helping to get rid of videos that are not by HERO, but i also heard something about external links to videos, should zenofire and i get rid of those? Port5 20:07, June 19, 2011 (UTC)port5
