Yawn. Well, here it is, a new, clean slate. Again. Hopefully Project Overgrow's work will allow there to be a longer time between now and the next archive. Maybe long enough to get us to Phase III...?

User:TTEchidna/TCG/Darkness times2

Please figure out a way to not categorize this into the no image card category. It is the only User: one.--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 19:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not a problem. It's getting deleted soon enough. ^Maverick_Nate 19:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Plus, if we could find the card it's based on... TTEchidna 22:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Pictures

Is it just my computer, or are pictures not showing up on the website? When I go to a page the pictures just don't appear. --HoennMaster 00:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

It's because the DNS for the archives is screwed up.--RexRacer -talk 00:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Rex, you are totally right! I can't access the archives and no pics have been showing up at all! And just another thing, earlier today, I tried to access JUST Bulbapeda and I couldn't, it said the website was encountering problems or something. Totally weird...--DRAGONBEAST^X 01:00, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

It's a problem with the DNS. There is a workaround, but I forget it. The problem should be fixed shortly, though. --ニョロトノ666 01:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

For your attention

Sorry to bug you again but just to let you know I've discussed some stuff on Template talk:Player and Template talk:Pokelist.

My bad, signed.     -–<×vVvv_v τ^λικ _to ς1^tHςι_4γ3r ^^vVv×>–- 11:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

What I brought up in the other archive

When I showed you that thing in my sandbox I didn't mean for it to stay there. It was just to show you the basic idea and maybe have it implemented to the main space. What do you think? Also, on a somewhat unrelated note, has all of Bulbagarden been down lately?--MisterE13 03:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Probably due to Project: Overgrow. --((Marton imos)) 04:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

nah.--FF(edits-talk) 04:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah, like a sprite naming standard? Expand on it if you want to, then we'll see... TTEchidna 04:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Like a place to request sprites to be uploaded, renamed, maybe even modified slightly. One could ask for some of them to have a specific naming convention but not necessairily all of them.--MisterE13 13:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I could come up with other examples, such as the bag sprite conventions you discussed in the other archive. A page like mine could let most people know that it's going on and could encourage participation. Also, say it wasn't already done and I wanted Poké Assist and Field Move sprites to be ripped from the Ranger games and uploaded but I cannot rip sprites. It lets someone who can, wants to help out and has free time know that it needs to be done. Also of note, Unown Trozei sprites, PMD2 alternate forme images, etc. All of these, and perhaps the ocasionnal template request could be requested on a page similar to th example I made in my sandbox--MisterE13 22:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, expand on that idea on the page, then... and um... stuff. I dunno. Wiki forum it. TTEchidna 03:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Wiki forum? Like a poll?--MisterE13 04:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Or just a thread. TTEchidna 05:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Martonimos's section for whining

I have you on record as saying that "redirects are bad." Meanwhile, Cipher attributes you to saying that linking to a redirect doesn't matter. Since I'm a whiny zealot, I'd like some closure on this issue; basically, is this a bad idea? --((Marton imos)) 14:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Redirects are bad in many cases. For games, no. Pokémon FireRed Version will always redirect to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions. The problem comes up when people decide "O HAY REDUREKTS R OK SO I LINK TO Jumpluff and Mewtwo and Pichu and Dawn and Ash and Brock and May. THOSE REDIRECT RITE?"

If I endorse redirects, that'll allow people to come and say "DONT YELL ABOUT ME LINKING TO MEWTWO WITHOUT THE TEMPLATE REDIRECTS ARE OKAY LET'S GET RID OF THE LINK TEMPLATES YAY".

Yes it's an extreme example... but eh. TTEchidna 21:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Flashbacks

Can flashbacks count as appearances? Because Jmath is removing the infobox from Alan, but I tihnk that a flashback is able to count as an appearance. Chocolate (Chat with Me) 20:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

It was already discussed before. This isn't something new. Jmath 20:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Show me where it was discussed. Chocolate (Chat with Me) 20:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Ask Kenji-girl... Jmath 20:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can see, a mention that he was in both episodes is fine but I wouldn't call one episode and one unrelated flashback "recurring".--MisterE13 20:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Flashback doesn't make you recurring. It counts as an appearance, yes, for the purposes of the episode's listing of characters, but doesn't count as a reappearance if a COTD appears in one. TTEchidna 21:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

What about cameos? Jmath 21:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Live-action ones, yes, sure, but again, not for an infobox unless they're established as recurring already... Marina's cameo in DP010 doesn't count. TTEchidna 00:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Japanese Text Problem

Ever since I had to reboot my computer from the very beginning (it basically crashed), all Japanese text on the site looks like this: ポケモンコンテスト

Is there a way to change it? --HoennMaster 02:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Um. It's fine for me. If you meant that it's now boxes, well, what OS? XP? Wikipedia's actually useful in this instance: this page oughta work. TTEchidna 03:22, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me But. . .

I didnt really know where to ask this but how do you change a signature. As you can see mine is the normal/bland way. -> --Landfish7 14:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah..just to say, I helped him already. And also, TTE, could you check your talk page on the Archives if you haven't already done so? Thanks.--^☆Tavisource 18:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Charon

TTEchidna, can I change Pluto to Charon? Gamestop's Platinum page uses the name Charon. Same with Looker/Handsome.--Alec9 20:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Ehhh... I really think we oughta wait a little bit longer for Pokémon.com to reveal the names... but... eh. Wikiforum it. TTEchidna 01:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikiforum?--Alec9 02:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh. Never mind Found it.--Alec9 02:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you

ask the evil robot to do this:

Read my talk page for reasons.--Diby 13:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

So you wanna be blocked for a year and a half by BulbaBot? TTEchidna 17:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. And I want my pages protected for that time.--Diby 18:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

All of them? TTEchidna 19:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, you're in the top 16 for TCOTM. If you want that rename come your return next year, you got it. TTEchidna 19:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

New version for a template

User:EspeonA/Sandbox (Disregard the header and footer.) How's this? There's a link to the test page where it's used on a duplicate of the Fire (type) article. If you approve, edit {{ElementalTypes}} (there are markers that indicate where the code begins and ends) and I'll update the type pages. :) Though you'll have to remove the colon from the category at the bottom (I didn't include the category for the template itself). - espeonA 02:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I like it. I very much like it. Could you copypaste the code over to here with pre tags around it? TTEchidna 02:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Code - espeonA 02:11, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Transferred to {{ElementalTypes}}

Wait, oops, must've forgot to put Category:Navigation templates on there too. Could you add that in too? =/ I'll go and update the articles and then I'll get to work on the template for egg groups. - espeonA 02:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Good good. TTEchidna 02:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Bothering you again, but: User:EspeonA/Sandbox (link to code there) - espeonA 03:13, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Look at these!

Check these out:

User:MisterE13/Sandbox

We'd have to fix the following things though,

• Insert the power level of the assists in Ranger 1 (between the assist type and the actual name of the assist).
• Remove the x (meaning multiplication) on all the Ranger2 assist names (or just add them on the images.)

Just tell me which number to start at and I'll get on it.--MisterE13 02:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC) I, for one think it would be good to have the images like we do in Template:Almiapkmn.--MisterE13 03:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Colors

Hey man, do you know the color IDs for the "User Blastoff" template? I want to use the colors, but don't know IDs well enough. Thanks, even if you can't help! R.A. Hunter B. 03:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Uhm, check the template yourself? It's pretty intuitive... TTEchidna 03:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
