Hi there Adam, and welcome to WiKirby! We hope you'll enjoy editing here; check out our help guide for editing tips and information on do's and don'ts.

Thanks! — The WiKirby Staff

I was kind of wondering whether Wikirby is actually an offical member of NIWA yet. I checked the NIWA site, plus SuperMarioWiki, ZeldaWiki, and Bulbapedia and none of them say Wikirby joined NIWA. The same goes for the Metroid Wiki. Please reply on my talk.- YoshiFan2215

over my head[edit]

MediaWiki:Common.css refuses to work for me. Any chance you could beat it into submission? I'm wanting to try getting the main page to match the current game's cloth/fabric theme just to be relevant. There's also the stitched borders I was toying with, ideally I want to add them and keep the darker colored border including a small margin (padding kind of margin) and probably calculate the rounded corners and subtracting the number of pixels to have the stitched border a smaller radius than the solid border. Axiomist (talk) 00:02, 3 September 2010 (CDT)

Yeah, common.css has always seemed to me to be flaky at best; I've pretty much given up on it at ZW. You'll find that a known working snippet from a particular skin can be taken and moved over into common.css, and all of a sudden it's not even called let alone applied! Yet some stuff seemingly works perfectly, like the MW and BP link images at ZW (http://www.zeldawiki.org/MediaWiki:Common.css). My advice is to stick with the css files in the skins directory, they're far more reliable. Seems like you've already got the background thing working using shared.css.
On the borders thing, you lost me completely! Probably need to draw me a picture of the desired result, or else we'll catch up on Skype and talk about it there :) Adam 06:28, 7 October 2010 (CDT)

Multiple Accounts[edit]

Kirbyfan:Can people have more than 1 account on the same computer?Kirbyfan 19:25, 4 September 2010 (CDT)

Accounts can only be assigned one per person. If there are more than two people and one computer, the computer can be shared, with each editor having a separate account. The reason why a user can only have one account is to limit any confusion, and the number of sock puppets. There isn't really any reason why a single person should have one account since both accounts have the same abilities on the wiki. The only exception I can think of which is not related to ban evasion is that the password/username of a previous account was lost, and the user made another account. For future references, if this is ever the case, tell an admin, and they can scramble your password. Austin (NIWA Operative) 19:38, 4 September 2010 (CDT)

Skin[edit]

I come from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki that just moved off-wiki. I believe you made WiKirby's skin, right? Is there any way I/we can get a copy of the skin you made? We'd like something like that over there. If you could, please contact me here. Thanks! --SilverCrono 22:19, 9 February 2011 (CST)

Skin selection[edit]

I assume you are the main maintainer of the wiki? If so, even though I love the skin that is the default, I have to question something: Why in the world are there no other skins available to be used? I mean, you could make the current skin the default, yet still allow the others! And if you have it this way because of the Wiki's logo's dimensions, then I think it still isn't a problem, because I think any image can be the logo, no matter the dimensions.

Affiliation?[edit]

Hey! I'm a staff member at Kirby site, Kirby's Rainbow Resort. We might be doing some overhauling on the site, and I was wondering if, in the process, we could advocate your wiki on our site. We had some talk with one of your guys back when you first launched, and while we weren't able to do as we'd have pleased at that time, I think we'll be able to do so now :) If you're interested or have any questions, you (or whomever I should be talking to, haha) can shoot me an email at mailto:blueJoshi@gmail.com . ~ Joshi 04:50, 7 August 2011 (CDT)

The Lylat Wiki[edit]

Hello, Adam. I'm RingtailedFox, assistant administrator of the Lylat Wiki. We've come back online after a few months of downtime, but we've moved our address to http://www.starfoxwiki.info/ . Please check your links and update any that may still point at the old address. :) RingtailedFox 00:00, 31 October 2012 (CDT)

Hey, I'm not Adam, but I updated the links around WiKirby anyway (NIWA template, interwiki & sidebar, I believe there aren't any more links not handled by the interwiki code). Adam hardly ever comes here & is unlikely to check his talk page, so you may want to contact me about such things instead in the future :3 --Vellidragon 11:31, 31 October 2012 (CDT)

Hi! this is Janop1 writer of the puppetdee and whippy articles. (Check 'em out!) could u tell me what pages that are needed to be written so i can write them.

Imposter[edit]

Hi Adam,

Just wanted to let you know that I just created an account on here in order to delete an imposter's old profile, pretending to be me. If you could permanently delete their account, I would appreciate it! Thanks! TheRealGonzosNoze (talk) 14:33, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't think Adam does things here anymore, he hasn't even recreated his account since we lost the database a couple years ago - please drop me a talk page message in the future instead. I went ahead and deleted the user page, I thought we'd gotten rid of that one long ago. The user itself doesn't exist anymore since the aforementioned database loss.--Vellidragon (talk) 19:11, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
Ich danke Dir! :) TheRealGonzosNoze (talk) 23:36, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
