Hey guys, it's FEBRUARY, the month of LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV. So why not show me some and let me keep this talk page until March. Or April. Or maybe, possibly, May?

Block

I was going a bit outta control on RexRacer's talk page, so can you please give me a 30 minute cool-down block? I need to cool down. 0° 03:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing man. TTEchidna 03:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

...

Can you make this? Template:Movelist/body/special/2 It'd be real nice. Thanks! ht14 03:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Done once more.--MisterE13 03:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
OKAY DEN! TTEchidna 03:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
By the way TTE, on the other archive, when I asked you to change the example here: it didn't come out clearly. There has to be a space and dash between "None" and "fieldmove".--MisterE13 03:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
...I don't understand why. That requires you to put the space in yourself... TTEchidna 03:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Go to MAGNEDETH's talk page. Too lazy to overload your page. I need to figure out issue. ht14 04:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
*indiscriminate facebeating* TTEchidna 04:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. ht14 04:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
It still shows: and |} on there... ht14 04:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Web 3.0 had better supplant the need for these assloads of templates that only I can seem to figure out by the time I'm 30. TTEchidna 04:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Or you could teach it to one of us... ht14 04:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I learned by looking at the code that was left before me. And teaching over the internets is sorta hard. TTEchidna 04:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh. You should suggest it to those who are actually good at it. ht14 04:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
You can get good at it. Just take a look at it. TTEchidna 04:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Eventually, I'll be able to be in charge (whoa!) and move on as well as help out. ht14 04:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Threatening to take my job? B&. TTEchidna 05:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

A little late... but TTE, the thing I keep asking you to fix is at the bottom of the page. There is an example that shows people how to use the template. It needs to have a space and hyphen between the words "None" and "fieldmove"! Also, the instructions should also include such a note for all the moves without power levels.--MisterE13 21:56, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

You know what to do to it better than me. Fix it. TTEchidna 04:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
All done. That turned out complicated.--MisterE13 22:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Jioruji Derako used Tackle on TTE's talkpage.

It's super-effective.

Oh, and you should look at this. Testing seems to work out fine. As a bonus, if you dig through the coding, you'll see a commented-out bit of coding that would allow for a small "target" variable. It's a little rough, which is why I'm not including it currently, but a possible idea for the future, if we decide to standardize that information in the infobox. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 13:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay. How's about the anime template I made up? TTEchidna 21:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Colors

I don't know if I like it so much. Like why is it white where the Japanese title is? Are the colors going to be different for every saga? --ケンジガール 02:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is it white where the Japanese title is? I figured that separating it would be fine. And yes, they will be. On my subpage at EpInfo. TTEchidna 02:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Movie Template

How are we suppose to add home video dates to the new movie template? --HoennMaster 16:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Uhhhmmmm... In the... way with the variables that I didn't pass through before but which are passed now so go include them. TTEchidna 19:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Administrator Status

In order to keep our Administrator list currently up-to-date, this is a generic "are you there" message.

You've been assumed as currently alive (by technical standards) and are already marked as such, but if you disagree with this, either edit the List of administrators to reflect your status (Dead, Alive, or Something Like Schrodinger's Cat), or reply here when you get the chance. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 16:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh I totally disagree. Because I'm totally never here. TTEchidna 22:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
But if you're not here, then obviously you didn't leave the above comment. I'll have to wait two weeks for the real TTE to speak up. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Whenever he shows up to archive his talk page that gets used as the community messageboard... TTEchidna 22:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
...I certainly don't know anything about a "community messageboard". And I certainly haven't contributed to what you speak of. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
If you say so. TTEchidna 22:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

<noinclude>

What does it do and where should one use it?--MisterE13 22:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

One should use it on a template when they don't want a specific part of the template to appear elsewhere (This is hard to explain) For example, if I put <noinclude>EXPLODE</noinclude> on a template, and one put it somewhere else, "EXPLODE" would not show up.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 22:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
It's just as if you were restricting it to one place. 1337Fire ►strike! 22:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
It's for categories and stuff that should only appear on the template's page. The opposite is <includeonly>, which causes stuff inside to appear only on pages that the template is included in. TTEchidna 22:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
So like if you wanted to show an example for how to use the template on it's page but obviously not wanting it to appear when the template is used.--MisterE13 03:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Exactly. TTEchidna 03:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Galm's commet

Im sorry for taking a style from a different site, i will delete it as soon as i can. can the item picture before the item's name still go on?- unsigned comment from Galm (talkcontribs)

It's already been deleted, though. As for the item pictures... those were kind of... eh. We're gonna be restandardizing them soon anyway, and don't forget that some items don't have bag sprites. And sign next time! And don't upload sprites as jpgs. TTEchidna 22:21, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

"=" template

Jio explained the principals of why it would be important and since we already have "!" (for "|") I thought it could be both useful and doable. I'd make it myself but I'd rather have someone else decide what to name it.--MisterE13 23:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Just name it... =... TTEchidna 23:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Except that uses the symbol which defeats the purpose of having one because in calling the template, you have to type "=". It would have to be something like "Template:--" (for the two lines) right?--MisterE13 00:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I think having the curlybrackets prevents the template from thinking the "=" as a real thing. The ! is different because we can't have Template:| apparently. - unsigned comment from Sol (talkcontribs) 00:14, 7 February 2009
I'm confused. What's the template supposed to call anyway? TTEchidna 00:19, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
The template calls an "=" because apparently one cannot use that in a Switch expression thus using it in the name would be pointless.--MisterE13 00:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that {{=}} ought to work fine. It's the name of the template, not a field, so it shouldn't confuse the equal sign for anything. --((Marton imos)) 00:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
There, see? Typing in {{template|=}} didn't work as a link to the template page, but {{template|{{=}}}} gets us {{=}}. Equals signs act screwy in template fields, but this template gets them working fine. --((Marton imos)) 00:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Aslkdsn how could I forget to sign. Kinda ironic though, that you have to use the template to link to itself. XD ~ sol 00:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I know. When I tried it the way you would any other template and it didn't work, I thougth maybe E13 was right after all. But then I realized that it was because of the reason we were coming up with the template in the first place, so I got a cool chance to demonstrate its functionality completely on accident. --((Marton imos)) 00:48, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Ah, so that's what you wanted... As long as it has a use. TTEchidna 02:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Help when you get a chance

List of Japanese voice actors

Can you make it so those three tables are the same size? Thanks ~♥ --ケンジガール 05:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Just put in the table opening "width: (size)". TTEchidna 05:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. Oh and Jmath wants the Animecharacters template unprotected for some reason. --ケンジガール 05:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Eh. Tell him to wait until August. TTEchidna 05:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind...

...{{EventAvail/h}} and {{EventAvail}}. See Shaymin for example. *tc26* 09:37, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh? How're they used? TTEchidna 09:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
It lists in what events they're available in basically. *tc26* 11:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Username

I need a new username. I don't like mine anymore. I want to be renamed "Mamoswine Gliscor". Can you do this? --Juan Sanfiel 8 February 2009 15:33:46 (UTC)

You need to give a legitamate reason for the username change other than I dont like it *DCM((Mock MeEdits)) 15:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
