I'll get on it. I see I need to fix that welcome message too. I almost edited it to reply. 74.193.130.195 02:41, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Tables

Sure, I can help in any way you want me too. Should I go onto Skype to discuss this? --Tucayo 01:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki Table & Wanted Pages

For some odd reason, zw:Special:Search/ZW is on the Wanted Pages. The link comes up blue and leads to ZW as it's supposed to, but leads to a ZW search with "ZW" as the search terms. Nothing links to this, so I'm guessing that's why it's on the Wanted Pages... that's my guess. Austin (NIWA Operative) 15:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

The Interwiki tables are one of the things here I never figured out. Good to see your editing issue has been resolved. Sorry I wasn't around enough to look into it. Axiomist 04:47, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Impersonator

Yeah, I've heard of this impersonator. He attacked the Mario Wikia yesterday under the codename "StoobenRooben. If they strike the Kirby Wikia, they will be blocked instantaneously. When he does strike, (if he does), I'll request an immediate I.P. address check on the user. When I get the I.P. of he user, I'll give it to you guys and the staff to see who is behind this. All I know is that this person knows about NIWA and are planning to take down our fellow wikias such as the aformentioned Mario Wikia, Zeldapedia, Arwingpedia (I don't know why), and Kirby Wikia. The user many even be one that has an account on the NIWA wikis. Don't worry though, we would've not expected you guys in the first place, you guys are more mature than that. ;) Gamefreak75 (Talk)

I'm glad to hear that. If we can get that IP we can determine who it is at NIWA. I'm leaving the possibility open that it might be one of the bored youngest members. Others might think it's someone from Zeldapedia or Wikitroid, trying to get other Wikia members to flame the other wikis. It could go either way, and if we find out it's someone with a staff position at NIWA, we could discuss removing that person, if it's a regular member-we can discuss making sure he/she is never staff. Axiomist 22:45, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
That sounds good. I think I'll just obtain the I.P. address right now and stop this. I'll give it to you ASAP. Gamefreak75 (Talk)

Images

I don't think that there should be a big deal with the image situation. Since Kirby is a small franchise, there are limited sources for pictures such as official artowork. The only images that should not be copied from Wikai are screenshots and anime episode pictures. Official artwork is the only images we should have the same. Gamefreak75 (Talk)

Wow, that would be a relief, I could ease up on the new members. Is it an agreed upon statement at your wiki? I'd like Blue Ninjakoopa to confirm. Edo and I were just talking and we don't want the editors here to just go take every image they can find from you guys. So I guess we'll be neutral on that. Like we won't be taking those images ourselves nor telling anyone else to do so; but we won't have to hound them for their source. Axiomist 06:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

My Contributions and Such

Hey :3 Thank you so much for your comment on my talk page, I feel honoured that you like my contributions so much. To answer your question, I'm not on any NIWA or other Wiki staff at the moment, nor have I ever been. I have been contributing to (and watching the Recent Changes at) the MarioWiki for several months though (not full-time, just when I get the time to do so); I suppose most of my Wiki knowledge comes from there, though I've also been looking at (and occasionally editing) other Wikis with high quality standards, like Bulbapedia. Again though, thank you for the comment :3 (On an unrelated note, while I'm at it, the Enemy Infobox still isn't working properly for me; I don't know if you saw my comment on the talk page, it basically explains what the problem is.)--Vellidragon 21:55, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to look into that infobox issue before doing any other work. I'm surprised I missed your response. {{SUBST:nosubst|User:Username/sig}} 01:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Ability Table

Hi. (Maybe you recognise me from ZWiki.) On my page I made a table for te abilities in KSS, KNIDL, KAM, KSS, & KSSU. Kirby in Dreamland 2 and 3 both have a few abilities, but buddies that alter the abilities. Kirby64 hascombo abilities. How do you sugest I do those three games? Do you know what abilities were possible in KDL1? Ember Incubus 00:11, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Glad you came to help, of course I recognize you from ZW. And I love that table project you have going, I'll get those images up in a few so you can use them. I don't have DL1 yet, but I'll be ordering every Kirby game soon.

Axiomist (talk) 00:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou very much. Also, should I fuse KSS and KSSU, or add Kirby's Adventure? Ember Incubus 00:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
I don't think we figured out a set way to handle all of the remakes, For now you can try whichever manner of presentation you think is best and hopefully you'll help shape this site's future policies, layouts, etc.

Axiomist (talk) 00:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey thanks!

Hey wazzup, (hi fives Axiomist), I really thank you for the nice comment on my discussion page, which I couldn't reply because I'm a rookie in the this stuff of the edits, edits,and all other stuff... related to edits... But basically I have NO acknowledgement of all this stuff, I want to make the articles like the one of The Great Cave Offensive, but I feared that I was going to do something like a Cyber-Katrina on the Wiki, or whatever is the name of the tornado-thingy that spiked America up to... down to it's doom, BUT NO! CAPTAIN AMERICA AVOIDED THIS! Wait... has Katrina been on America? oh and the thing whit "whit" is that I'm not exported from America or the USA, I'm from Panamá, the place where the Isthmus of Panama lies whitin (or whatever)''Italic text

but thanks for the comment and not being like those mean guys from Narutos that rejected him from society>:0 Gioum 02:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

(returns the hi five) Glad to see you came back! Well there's a ton of guides to bore oneself with, but I find that the best way to learn things on a wiki is to just jump in and do things you want to do. It's almost impossible to destroy a wiki, bc if something goes wrong, we can just revert the edit, at the click of the mouse. For the easiest manner of getting into it all, there's plenty of pages in the Stubs Category to tinker with. One thing to keep in mind is that we try to be cool and approachable, so if anyone gives you advice on something, it's meant to be helpful and never mean. Your sense of humor is obviously great and like I said, I'm hoping you'll help spice up the style here :D Cuz we all know the only thing better than articles to read are articles that are interesting and fun to read!

Axiomist (talk) 02:15, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, if wiki-html coding isn't your forte, you can also add images for pages. A list of them would be in the following page. Category:Image requested Ember Incubus 02:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  • poses* ...I love to see you recognize my talent... *poses again* ...And that your targeting me into something special... *strikes yet another pose* ..And I know it... *aims you whit my finger on to your forehead* YOU VOTED TO ME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA RIGHT!?!?!?!

just kidding, but you are like the most random encounter, for me, I made my "talent articles" and you instantly notes me... I really feel happy to know someone's there stalking me friendly... but yeah Are you some kind of important figure, or byte, in WikiKirby?

He's the proprieter and creator (aka the "big boss"). Gamefreak75 (Talk)
Yeah, GameFreak75 is right. I named this place, paid for it, and resigned a staff position at ZeldaWiki.org to focus on running it. My best skill there, I think, was helping people find what suited them best. I consider myself a people person and I think I'm pretty good at reading people.

Copy Chart

The templates that were needed were already decided, along with the general style. For some reason, the coding in other wikis do not work in this wiki, so I had to reformat and test some things. The point of the Style/Data templates is so a single data template can be ued in diferent places by simply chaning the Style template. For intance, you can have a infobox for Firesword, a box saying how to create the fire sword, or a chart coparing it to the Galaxia. (Ex: {{DataFire Sword|format=StyleInfobox}}, {{DataFire Sword|format=StyleObtain}}, & {{StyleCompare|d1=DataFire Sword|d2=DataGalaxia}}.) It is a under used and under aprecaited technique. P.S.: I have not been answering my talk page because I am in canada on a buisnes trip, and it may take a few more days longer. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 22:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

If I heard correctly, Bulbapedia does something like that.If we can use the template on more than one chart-I'll love it! One thing I want opinions on is changing the element cell to type and the elemental ones can say "elemental-fire" or whatever. Anyway, enjoy your trip, I was just wondering if you were able to get the talk page posts or not. I never used the redirected User Page, so I wondered if there was an issue with the message notifications.

Axiomist (talk) 23:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I added a few more abilities and made a example of the infobox on my sandbox. The infobox can be used on the page of the ability. Sorry that it says my Sandbox's name, it says the name of the page it is on. I can adjust the colors if you want. Notice how the only difference I made was by changing the {{{format}}}. If you can show me were the Bulbapedia has that, I can compare and borrow some html ideas for the better. (I never really cared for Pokémon. Hay, I jut got the "é" from the bottem of the edit page. Cool in a nirdy way. =P) The way I see it, the chart can go on the Copy Ability page or on talk pages, the infobox will go on every Copy Ability's page, and the Compare template can go on almost every page. I'll make the compare template later. Another example of how compare would be is by comparing Burning and Fire. (What games they were and weren't in, what their effect to fire-element-sensitive things were, and when they combined in a game IE:SS, KSS, and SSU.) I also made the changes to the ability templates and the header that you asked for. If there is anything else, let me know. By the way, I wrote this like three times because the bad internet here stoped twice. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 23:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't have anything really to say about what you were talking about, but I do have something that can help you if your internet sucks. It's called Lazarus, and it stores whatever you type into forms in Firefox. That way, if it crashes, you can open it back up, right click, and choose the form you were entering. TA-DA! All your text LIVES!!! =D It's great for wiki editing. Speaking of which...I suggest we add it to the front page under "recommended downloads." Losing an article can be VERY frustrating._Neo(U) (T) (C)(Home) 23:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you logged on an didn't reply. So I'm just wondering if you got the messeage, since Neo alo replyed so maybe you didn't see the message before it. Please let me know. Oh, and thankyou Neo, the tool is very useful. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 22:57, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for not responding, I was online, but also doing laundry talking to people, cleaning out my email, etc a busy day over here :p. Anyway, I'm not too familiar with Bulbapedia, nor pokemon in general, one of their admins casually mentioned that their tables were made from a slew of templates. I haven't looked at the pieces thoroughly, but my last (current) issue with the final result is how oddly and awkwardly fitting the cells are. It seems they'll stretch vertically by default and this sorta throws the whole thing out of sync. Are you able to expand the cells that would need more room for horizontal lists (example: the enemy providing the ability lists)?

Axiomist (talk) 01:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes I have perfect control over all of the cell sizes. Click here to see the current sizes. Tell me what sizes you think I should change them too. If you change them manualy, you have to change the [Template:StyleCopy Ability style page] too. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 18:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Ah, ok, that's cool then. I do recommend you give templates fluid widths (percents-instead of pixel sizes) as much as possible. That makes it easier on other browsers, screen resolutions, etc. Sorry I haven't really been able to help you with these things much. I think you're capable of putting it together without me tho. My main focus right now is to get some content generated so newcomers don't feel so overwhelmed by the amount of pages needing to be created.

Admin

Hi Ax! I am retiring/going on hiatus from everywhere, and I am not really active here, so I guess I should be demoted from here... I really haven't done anything to help the wiki :/ --Tucayo 20:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

No sweat, thanks for your help when we got set up! I moved you to the ambassador rank which I wanted to make more use of. The idea behind it is to display who's an admin at a fellow NIWA wiki.

Axiomist (talk) 01:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Ax. I hope I will be able to edit more the WK when I come back. --Tucayo 16:16, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks for all of the updates on WiKirby in The Shroom. If you or anyone else will take the time to send us a message beforehand, in the future, we'll report "A new issue of The Shroom is available at Mario Wiki." on our Main Page.

Axiomist (talk) 21:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

wow! Thanks a lot, that would be greatly appreciated! Actually, a new issue just came out :) Also, if you want, I can upload some pics from the Crystal Shards booklet. --Tucayo 20:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

No Prob

Maybe we can do a process, and heres how we go in an process:

1.: You make the article and everything 2.: I'll try to find a image of it somewhere like Bing and Google 3: I'll upload the image. 4: ??? 5: Article! --KirJoey 4:36 PM (UTC), July 24, 2010.
