User talk:PlasmaTime/Archive 1

Welcome
Welcome to the Scratchpad community! Scratchpad is a great place to learn all things wiki.

It's now really easy to make a new wiki. So, if you'd prefer a separate site for your content, just visit Special:CreateWiki and tell us the name of your wiki to get started. Having a separate wiki gives you lots more options, such as the ability to change the design of the wiki.

If you need help,you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. Or, you may leave me a message on my talk page.

Happy editing!

Why a bot?
PT, you asked me the other day why I have a bot account. Here’s why: I would have hated having to do it without AWB. — Spike  Toronto  10:45, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 367 broken redirect deletions
 * 92 pages that were either deleted (56x), or had an incorrectly applied category removed (36x)
 * 459 total transactions

Main page redesign
Just an upadte for you. Jäzzi is going to work on the redesign of the mainpage. She’ll be working at Scratchpad/2012 Redesign. — Spike  Toronto  11:25, April 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am currently studying for 2 major exams for the quarter, and also my music exam.  I'll finish up next week.  --  Plasma  ( Talk ) 20:01, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

New page patrol JS
Hey PT. This might interest you for doing new page patrol: w:c:dev:AjaxPatrol. I just added it and it's great! — Spike  Toronto  21:02, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll be back here at Scratchpad on Monday, since I just finished my exams.  --  Plasma  ( Talk ) 21:51, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Page deletions and our IP helper
Hey PT! Take a look at this. It’s just an FYI, a heads-up to keep you in the loop. — Spike  Toronto  14:30, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

New activity feed
Hey PT! Rappy added the Rappybot to   so that we can use it to observe recent changes to Scratchpad in real time. It’s really quite amazing! It presents the data in such a way that it can be much easier to interpret than Special:RecentChanges. In fact, just this morning it let me zoom in on a bunch of pages that all contained the F-word in their titles. Anyway, just want to let you know. You should add it to your IRC client’s join list. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  14:36, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Flagging page deletions
PT, would you please proofread Scratchpad:Deletion policy, flagging (shortcut &rarr; SP:FLAG) and tell me if it is okay? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  15:54, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

New Staff/VSTF templates
Hi PT! I wanted to bring these two templates to your attention: They are for use atop Staff/VSTF talkpages, should any be created. Their purpose is to redirect users from Staff/VSTF, to Scratchpad Administrators. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:56, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

AbuseFilter
Hey PT! I wonder if you could take a look at Special:AbuseFilter and set up any abuse filters you think this wiki could use. Also, would you test the possibility of using Special:AbuseFilter to prevent page creation when certain “bad” words are in the title? Thanks!! — Spike  Toronto  06:48, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Age-inappropriate images
PT, what do you think of this image? Does the image being a drawing instead of an actual photo make it acceptable? The others he has uploaded that we’ve deleted were essentially the same, only the women depicted were real and not drawn. I’m not sure and I thought that before we asked Staff for their input, we could try to come to a decision ourselves. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:04, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems that the image is quite suitable for users that are of mature age; my opinion, in a short, brief answer, not suitable. Thanks.  --  Plasma  ( Talk ) 13:46, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅   Turns out there was an earlier, age-appropriate image already there at that filename. So, I reverted to it and deleted the age-inappropriate one. I also locked uploads to that filename for one month; that should be sufficient for the user to forget about re-uploading his image. Thanks for your opinion. Since we agreed, it eliminated any reason to go to Staff. Thanks again! —  Spike  Toronto  06:18, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Copycat user?
Excuse me, but I believe you have a copycat on this wiki. You see this person stole the ideas and name of one of my friends from deviantART. the name is User:princessshannon07. if you don't believe me check deviantART yourself for proof. delete this copycat from this wiki.


 * Sally, there is no actual user here by that name (verify). However, I did see three pages on which an anonymous, IP-only editor had been editing, attributing the edits to that name (verify). I have semi-protected each of those pages for the next month so that only logged-in users can edit them (verify). That is the best we can do. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please do not hesitate to ask if there is any other assistance you require. — Spike  Toronto  00:32, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
