Custom Signatures

Hello, I have a question regarding custom signatures. I thought a custom signature would be cool, so I followed the instructions on the help and policy page, but it doesn't work properly, if you look at my signature below. Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks. Cowguy ™ 15:31, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Looks like your signature is mostly functional, but you need to remove the "subst:" part from your signature code in the preferences to make it work. The help page we have may be somewhat outdated in that regard. Let me know if that fixes the problem. --Fubaka (talk) 15:46, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh, okay. It's working fine now, but before it wasn't working. Thanks. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 16:02, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

No prob. I will go ahead and update the help page. --Fubaka (talk) 16:03, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind

Heart Spears is apparently a Japanese name

RoboWoods6457 (talk) 20:14, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Even so, it would be nice to have a source for that name. We could make a new page for them if we have that. --Fubaka (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Well in the Kirby wiki, theres a Heart Spear page, and it doesn't has a unofficial name category so it's an official name, though it probably is but they forgot it.

Indeed, I wouldn't rely on the Kirby Wikia for official names unless they have a source to cite. --Fubaka (talk) 20:35, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

IP boss health edit reversions getting out-of-control

At least three anonymous users keep doing the boss health reversions for quite some time. Thankfully, I've rollbacked all the ones done so far, but would it be possible for someone like you to block them or, at the very least, protect the affected pages? Thanks. – Owencrazyboy17 (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and blocked the offending I.P. addresses. Let me know if anything else crops up. --Fubaka (talk) 21:24, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Sound files

Hi, sorry I'm having multiple questions, but I'm a new user, so I'm assuming it's forgivable. So, I decided that a sound file I uploaded that's named "Kirby Dance - Kirby Super Star.ogg" had a part at the end with no sound that was too long, so I trimmed the file and uploaded a new version, but the file was exactly the same. Why is this? --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 18:29, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

I assume you uploaded a new version of the file? Give it a moment to update. Our cache is slow, so it doesn't necessarily update right away with things like files. --Fubaka (talk) 18:31, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks. And yes, I did upload a new version, not a new file. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 19:50, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

New Page

Poyo Fubaka.

Can I add a page called Access ArK (ship)? Thx!

BTW I have a new signature.

And also, how can I become part of the staff? I saw that the user that you told me in the "use of upscaled images" on my talk page is now a patroller.201 05:44, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

I would not be opposed to you making such a page. Just make sure you spell it as 'Ark' and use the About template to link the pages together. Also, if you know how, you should use the Place infobox on that page.

As for entry to staff, I make personal picks as to who gets to become a patroller based on level of activity, edit count, quality of work, level of community engagement, etc. Iliekchez was promoted rather quickly due to his good work and his engagement on the Discord server. If you continue to work on the wiki and improve your skill, I may consider you for a patroller position in future. Hope that answered your questions. --Fubaka (talk) 06:00, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Okay. BTW What is the code for the Discord? 201 06:10, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

You may find the server here. Lots of us are there, and I probably would not have become Editor-in-Chief without it. :p --Fubaka (talk) 06:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! 201 06:17, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Site news mistake

"Site news: The image resolution referendum has concluded! Option 2 is the winner, which means that upscaled images will be allowed on the wiki for general use, so long as they are mot mistaken for vanilla screenshots or sprites, and native resolution images will still be preferred for all front-line content. Thanks to everyone who voted! The image standards will shortly be updated to reflect this recent decision."

Fix it to:

"Site news: The image resolution referendum has concluded!

Always with the typos. Thanks for pointing that out. It is fixed now. --Fubaka (talk) 04:24, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Great! Thanks!201 13:38, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi

How do i turn a text in bold or italic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RoboWoodsNew4587 (talk • contribs) . Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!

To make it italic, surround the text with two pairs of commas like this. For bold, use three pairs of commas, like this. You can combine them by using five pairs. Also, don't forget to sign your posts by typing ~~~~. Fubaka (talk) 16:43, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Also, to my memory, this is all in the help and policy page, which I would suggest you read. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 16:44, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
