Scratchpad:IP range calculator
I have a question how do you use the iprange calculator? — HypercaneTeen(talk) 10:58, July 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey HypercaneTeen! The Scratchpad:IP range calculator is a great device created by our recently retired other Administrator, Kris. He never got to complete it, so it does not have all the functionality he had intended for it. At this time, if you enter an IP address in the Network IP field, it will generate the starting IP and the ending IP in the range, depending on the CIDR suffix number entered after the slash.""The relationship is an inverse one. That is, the larger the CIDR suffix, the smaller the range generated. Conversely, the smaller the CIDR suffix, the larger the range generated.We had hoped to also have it run the other direction: You enter the range start and end points, and the calculator would generate the Network IP and the CIDR suffix. Sadly, that part never got completed.""Finally, to better understand range blocks, please see mw:Help:Range blocks. —  Spike  Toronto  03:58, July 30, 2014 (UTC) P.S. I notice that it doesn’t seem to be working right now. I’ll have to check that the JS is loading properly. —  Spike  Toronto  03:58, July 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * It’s working now. —  Spike  Toronto  04:22, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

RFR set-up
Could you test this to make sure that the revisionuser workaround is working? You could also modify the link to go to the right page (if it already isn't). ~Curiouscrab (talk) 01:57, August 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * It works perfectly! You know I was going to set it up using Template:USERNAME, for which I’ve already added the necessary CSS/JS to the MediaWiki namespace. I was also going to structure it much as it is structured at w:c:admintools:Admin Tools Wiki:Requests for rights. I just hadn’t gotten ’round to it.""The biggest problem that people at ATW always have is entering the name of the subpage to be created. So, I thought that with Template:USERNAME — entered into the instructions and the input box as — it would make it easier for would-be applicants and simplify the process.""Are you interested in any of this? Because, if you are, once I get it done over there, then you could copy it, and adapt it to here. What do you think?  —  Spike  Toronto  03:39, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

My Little Pony/Littlest Pet Shop
Hello, SpikeToronto. Can you help with something. I'm having trouble with a user known as Palacepets0102. He keeps editing my cast under the My Little Pony/Littlest Pet Shop (2012 version). I asked him kindly to stop, but he ignored my warning. Can you help me out please? BiggestThomasFan (talk) 16:55, September 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅ I cleaned up the page at My Little Pony/Littlest Pet Shop (2012 version). You can use how I did it as an example so that you can do the clean-up yourself next time. After that, I left him a message — with a warning — on his talk page (see here). Feel free to read it, and let me know if I’ve left anything out. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Please keep me updated if anything should change. —  Spike  Toronto  23:44, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Archiving
Since you've mentioned it, I think I would like to have it archived. And I would like it if you could do it for me please. BiggestThomasFan (talk) 01:15, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Problems with user Andrew1998
This user is still vandalizing the Monsters Inc. pages on Scratchpad wiki, even after giving the user multiple warnings. Please block the user for at least 1 year. Thank you. FirePuppy (talk) 01:38, October 26, 2014 (UTC)

Cartoons Don't Dance
The "My Version" seems too UN-vague. VeggieFan2000 (talk) 23:04, October 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Taylor! You already your CartoonTales: Cartoons Don't Dance (VF2000's version). Spike. Taylor says about Cartoons Don't Dance.

You’re right Taylor. We do not allow titles with my because they are too vague on a wiki like Scratchpad. I cannot always catch them all. So, I need people like you to point them out. Would you please give me an exact link to the one you’re talking about, so I can fix it? — Spike  Toronto  02:21, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Another spammer
Please block this user: User:James.obrien.7334

This user just posted two unacceptable images that I tried to replace with NBC and CBS logos, and was also abusing the Barney/Kirby page. FirePuppy (talk) 00:28, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

I got problem
SpikeToronto, I have a problem. I went to The Parody Wiki. But someone changing my edit pages. Can you come with me at The Parody Wiki and block him out?


 * Hi Calvyn! I wish I could help you, but I cannot. In order to block people at Parody Wiki, I would need to have Administrator privileges there, like I do here at Scratchpad. Unfortunately, I am not an Administrator there. Also, I checked, and there is only ONE (1) Administrator at the Parody Wiki. Unfortunately, he has not visited that wiki in FOUR (4) years! So, he cannot help either. Again, sorry I cannot help you. — Spike  Toronto  15:29, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

Video put in troubles
hey i'm fixing the Mr. Conductor's Adventures in A Muppet Family Christmas page for the remake video parts and i tried using the video thing on the classic editor to put the video in so they can see it here but something's wrong

it keeps saying Sorry, something went wrong while inserting this video to the article which i think is bull since the thing's worked for me in the past can you help fix this? Skullzproductions (talk) 14:47, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm … Very interesting Skullz. Let me ask around and see if this is known issue systemwide, across Wikia. — Spike  Toronto  14:54, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * P.S. Can you point me to the video you were trying to add so that I can try and reproduce the issue? —  Spike  Toronto  14:59, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * sure here http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cwnxo Skullzproductions (talk) 15:10, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Gee, i’m confused. I just did it, and it worked (verify). I use the classic editor in source mode, so I wonder if that makes a difference? (I am assuming that you use the classic editor in visual mode. Correct me if i'm wrong.) Let me test it again, this time using a non-admin account. — Spike  Toronto  15:20, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * P.S. As normally happens, when i used the video tool to insert the video, it was uploaded to Scratchpad. You can find it at File:Mr. Conductor's Adventures in A Muppet Family Christmas remake part 1. —  Spike  Toronto  15:25, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * thanks man Skullzproductions (talk) 15:49, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Anyway, with my test account, I was able to reproduce the same problem you had. You can see the error message in the screencap at File:Video upload problems 2014-12-19.jpeg. My test account’s editor settings are at File:Video upload problems settings 2014-12-19.jpg. Before I ask Staff to open a ticket on this matter, would you please try this at another Wikia site and let me know if the same thing happens? —  Spike  Toronto  04:29, December 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Skullz, I haven’t heard back from you. I need to know: Are you still having this problem? Does it happen on other wikis (for example, your w:c:jayjay: wiki)? —  Spike  Toronto  06:42, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Asmit005's Other Account
Hello Spike. Do you remember the user Asmit005, who was permanently banned from this wikia back in March? Because I recently found an account that might also be owned by him. The account is User:ASmith. The only reason why I think it's owned by him is because the names are almost similar. However, ASmith has not edited here since April 10, 2012. I was just wondering if you also thought it could be owned him. And if you do, would it be a good idea to block that account from here in case he tries to do block evasion using that account? BiggestThomasFan (talk) 21:20, December 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi BTF! I had looked at that other account around the same time as Asmit005 was permabanned. The ASmith account only ever made a few edits, and they were dissimilar to the ones made by the banned account. Short of asking Staff for a CheckUser, there is no way to truly confirm. I decided, at that time, to leave it unblocked for the following reasons:
 * editing patterns were too dissimilar to suggest the banned person
 * the ASmith account was inactive at the time the other account was permablocked, and still is
 * when the Asmit005 account was permablocked, a recurring autoblock on the associated IP addresses was also engaged, which seems to be holding well since Asmit005 triggers it on a regular basis
 * this autoblock would also block the ASmith account if they were coming from the same home, office, school, etc., whenever the ASmith account would ever used
 * so far, it seems no attempts to edit have been made from that ASmith account, assuming the two accounts are related
 * we cannot block for block evasion until the block evasion occurs
 * to do so would be like giving someone a speeding ticket because he has sportscar, notwithstanding that he has yet to speed
 * As often as Asmit005 tries to edit here at Scratchpad, I honestly believe that if ASmith were also his account, he would have tried to edit from it already. So, either
 * that account is not his, or
 * he lost his access to it, supposing it had ever been his.
 * Thanks BTF for bringing this to my attention. Issues like this should be reviewed periodically and I had not looked at that account in some time. —  Spike  Toronto  23:25, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

Empty sections in Garfield parody
In the Garfield parody section there is NOTHING in the 'My gym partner is a monkey or Ni hao sections. It said "coming soon" in My gym partner is a monkey, but it never came since 2011. Is there a point to keep empty sections? UsagiCandy


 * For me to answer you specifically, I would need a link to the actual article. However, in general, if it is an article that anyone can edit, and no one has been editing it, feel free to do whatever you want. You can go ahead and edit those sections, or simply delete them. Be bold! —  Spike  Toronto  11:45, January 1, 2015 (UTC)
