User talk:ElsbridgeStationFan1995/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:CreateNewWiki 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!

Major wikis
Hey Mike! I noticed on your userpage your various interests. Do you know that Wikia has large, well-developed wikis on most of those?

For example, you can find the Family Guy wiki here at w:c:familyguy.

And, you can find the Big Bang Theory wiki here at w:c:bigbang.

To find others, go to the global search at w:c:wikia and enter the search terms (for example: big bang), and look at the results. You will find many of the topics you’ve listed on your profile page there.

I hope you find this helpful. Have fun! —  Spike  Toronto   08:15, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Re: True??
Actually I have autism. But I don't consider it to be a "mental" disability, so to speak. It's more of a developmental disability. But I don't let the fact that I have it bother me too much. :)  ThomasandMichael (talk) 23:04, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

New user rights added to your account
NZGuy, I added the autopatrol and rollback user rights to your account. The autopatrol user right is just a housekeeping flag. It marks your new-page creations as “patrolled” so that admins and Staff do not have to manually do so. The rollback user right is a quick way to undo spam and vandalism edits. It is not a substitute for undo in all circumstances. For example, we cannot use rollback in an editing conflict. In such an instance, we are required to use undo and provide a clear edit summary. Before using rollback, please read wikipedia:WP:ROLLBACK to get a thorough understanding of its use. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto   08:06, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Chat 2013-03-15
Hey NZGuy. Sorry I missed you when you entered chat. Unfortunately, Wikia’s chat doesn’t chime or anything when someone enters and I was working in a different tab. —  Spike  Toronto   21:49, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats
Hey NZGuy, just thought I'd say congrats on being a Chatmod here. :)  ThomasandMichael (talk) 22:26, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Another userification for you
Hey Michael! Don’t know if you wanted this or not, but I added User:NZGuy/ThomasDuckJamesandTerenceFan to your userspace. —  Spike  Toronto   02:44, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Ahoy, can you join chat when you have a spare moment.

Headers, status indicators, etc.
Hey NZGuy! I’ve been fixing your user- and talkpages. Hope they’re okay with you. Also, I added the ability to change your status from your pulldown menu by adding the appropriate JS to User:NZGuy/wikia.js, which was part of the instructions at Scratchpad:Status indicator. It should appear in the drop-down list when you press on “NZGuy” up at the top right of your screen. —  Spike  Toronto   07:39, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
Ahoy NZGuy,

Wondered if you could give reasons as to why the specific pages you just marked with speedy deletion should be done so. As you are not the sole contributor you cannot request for deletion unless a valid reason is given. 05:50, April 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Still, as per the deletion requests, it does not fit any of the specified requirements :) However I will leave Spike a message for him to check over this too.  05:59, April 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * NZGuy, while Kris and I review your requests, please use the time to look again at Scratchpad:Deletion policy, flagging (shortcut &rarr; SP:DELETE). Thanks :) —  Spike  Toronto   08:42, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Updating your status indicator
Mike, when you enter your status at User:NZGuy/Status, you must enter your status in all lowercase letters. There can be no uppercase letters. Therefore, sleep works, while Sleep fails. Thanks! :) —  Spike  Toronto   08:45, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Your signature
Hey Mike! Regarding your signature, there is a rule that some part of your signature must provide a link, either to your userpage, your talkpage, or both. Right now your signature is not doing that. Since you are using a nice, clean, basic signature, this is what I suggest you do get it hypertexted: Thanks! —  Spike  Toronto   07:01, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Go to Special:Preferences
 * In the Signature section, empty out the box labelled  Custom signature
 * Scroll down, press the Save button
 * From now on, sign using four tildes (i.e.,   ~  )
