==GD==
this will make it easier for me to keep track of conversations.
*Got the jpeg libraries in GD working properly in case you didn't see. The resized image you left on [[User_talk:Admin|my talk page]] displays properly now. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:51, 24 October 2006 (EDT))
**Awesome! I'll start screencapping Isaac's paintings and the symbol for galleries.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 16:15, 24 October 2006 (EDT)


== No problem ==
==Matt feedback loop file==
My computer (and probably a few others') do not support .ogg format. Would you mind reuploading [[Image:Powers peter matt.ogg]]. [[User:Shoyru1177|Shoyru1177]] 18:51, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
*Not a problem, thanks for having me. As you may have seen, I came up with the original idea for the ''other'' Heroes wiki, Eclipsed. However this one seems to have progressed to the state that I originally had in mind for my version so I think I'm just going to be spending most of my time helping out here if that's not a problem!--[[User:Sidney|Sidney]] 01:00, 25 October 2006 (EDT)
* Unfortunately, .OGG is the only audio format supported by MediaWiki for uploads by default, in part because it's free and open source. Codecs like MP3 are actually proprietary and licensed and thus cost money.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)


== [[Intuitive aptitude]] ==
==ParserFunctions==
*Since you do a lot of template work I just wanted to let you know that I do have the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions ParserFunctions] extension installed if that ever helps you at all. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 23:42, 28 October 2006 (EDT))
**Oh excellent. We don't have that at my other Wiki. I will have to learn up. BTW, I ''think'' I have a new episode template working at <nowiki>{{newepisode}}</nowiki>. You have to feed it some variables, but it seems to work ... even puts in the <tt>&lt;noinclude></tt>s, which took some figuring out.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 23:56, 28 October 2006 (EDT)
***If you happen to come across any extensions that would be very helpful, just let me know. Wiki version info and currently installed extensions are [[Special:Version|here]]. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 00:06, 29 October 2006 (EDT))


I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)
==Bolding Article Titles==
* Looks like it! BTW, I should be back full-time on Monday (project is wrapping up) -- anything major I've missed in the last two weeks?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:51, 7 February 2008 (EST)
*I noticed you go through and '''bold''' article titles. Do you do this because that's how they look on other wikis? If so that might not be because of explicit bolding, but instead because when you link to the article that you're currently on wiki displays it in bold automatically. ex. [[User talk:Hardvice]] ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:49, 29 October 2006 (EST))
**The server crashed and I single-handedly recreated the entire site... :) Nothing major, just a few fun graphic novels. Evolutions has been quite slow lately. Glad to see you back. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:54, 7 February 2008 (EST)
**Yeah. It's a policy on WP, but they discourage autolinks for reasons I've never been able to fathom, instead preferring a manual bold. Force of habit, I guess. Their rationale for the bold is that it somehow makes it more explicit what article you're reading ... like the big &lt;h1> didn't give it away or something. In any case, I noticed our articles were about 50-50% and thought I'd bring 'em all in line with each other.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 22:57, 29 October 2006 (EST)
***Ok, gotcha. It just popped into my head and I thought I'd bring it up. Keep up the great work, you've been such an essential part of this site's success. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 23:00, 29 October 2006 (EST))
*** Please... as if I don't keep backups. :) As for the intuitive aptitude, that's really neat. I find it amusing when I see people call it that even on Wikipedia when I believe it was a term Hardvice coined right here. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST))
**** [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Sylar&diff=next&oldid=9670 The proof is in the pudding]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:08, 7 February 2008 (EST)
****Thanks! Again, I'm just happy to be here. (Actually, the only reason I'm doing the bolds now is that I'm stuck out of town without the episodes ... I was going to find quotes and trivia for ''Genesis'' but I forgot to transfer it to my laptop.)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 23:07, 29 October 2006 (EST)
*****I'm glad to see it got shown on tonight's episode. Not all of us get to impact the show in such a way, y'know? --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 02:40, 17 February 2009 (EST)


== [[:Category:Characters]] autocat ==
==Sysop==
*In recognition of how much you've contributed and how much you've helped this site grow, I'd like to offer you sysop access if you're interested so that you can take care of administrative functions yourself if necessary. Are you interested? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:42, 3 November 2006 (EST))
**Sure! I'm about to have slightly more limited time (studying for the bar), but I'll do my best.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 15:00, 3 November 2006 (EST)
***Ok, you're all set. Congrats. Just FYI I try to avoid protecting pages or banning people except where absolutely necessary. Like for instance a lot of places will protect changes to the [[Main Page]], but unless things get out of control I'd like to leave it editable since I feel it's important for the community to be able to contribute anywhere. Since editing is restricted to people with a confirmed email address anyway it keeps out most of the would-be troublemakers and reverting is not difficult. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:06, 3 November 2006 (EST))


Why was the autocategorization for [[:Category:Characters]] [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Template%3ACharacter_box&diff=160568&oldid=158029 removed]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
== Season one assistance ==
* I don't recall exactly.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:33, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
** So no objection if we restore it? I'd rather have the template autocat all the characters than have some characters have the cat and others not. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:36, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
*** I'm pretty sure it was doing something undesirable, but I guess we'll find out what if we restore it.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:37, 7 May 2008 (EDT)


== Account Removal ==
Could you help me make [[Season One]] look nice. --[[User:Ohmyn0|Ohmyn0]] 00:57, 7 November 2006 (EST)
: Let me clarify that. All the episodes should be seperated and the episode image to it's right. See the article's talk page for more info. --[[User:Ohmyn0|Ohmyn0]] 00:58, 7 November 2006 (EST)
** I will give it a go. BTW, I included it in [[:Category:Season One Episodes]] so it won't be an orphan (and because we needed text on the category page anyway).--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 00:59, 7 November 2006 (EST)


Do you think you could remove my account and the associated user and user talk pages, then remove this? --[[User:Sgtbenc|Sgtbenc]] 20:17, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
== Stubs Template ==


== Lostpedia Family Tree Help ==
Thanks for adding the "usage" back to the template of "stubs". When I tried to re-add it, it showed up on the pages the template was on. --[[User:Ohmyn0|Ohmyn0]] 01:34, 7 November 2006 (EST)
* It was missing the opening <tt>&lt;noinclude></tt> tag. It's easy to miss since it needs to be crammed up against the template or else it generates extra space.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 01:36, 7 November 2006 (EST)
** (Semi-unrelated) When you reply to my questions or comments could you possibly write them on ''my'' talk page? If not, I don't know you've replied. Thanks. :) --[[User:Ohmyn0|Ohmyn0]] 01:47, 7 November 2006 (EST)
*** I can copy them both places, I suppose, but I like to keep them together so I can refer back to conversations as conversations if I need to, and not just as pages of unanswered comments.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] 01:51, 7 November 2006 (EST)
****Deal! --[[User:Ohmyn0|Ohmyn0]] 01:54, 7 November 2006 (EST)


[http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Family_Trees Lostpedia] are trying to do a Family Tree thing like the ones here. I don't know if you watch LOST, but I heard you could make the trees. Help would be appreciated! You don't have to. Thanks [[User:DECBOY23|DECBOY23]] 13:44, 14 May 2008 (EDT)[[User:DECBOY23|DECBOY23]]
== location template ==


== Gun identification ==
I'm getting frustrated with this template, but I think I have enough completed on it. The only problem is the image shows up as its entire size. I can't control it! Please help. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 02:14, 9 November 2006 (EST)
* I set it to 250px. You can adjust that as you see fit, or you can change it to "thumb" to use each person's individual thumb setting. I also added a variable to turn the Wikipedia link on and off; it will only link to WP if you have <tt>WPLink=yes</tt> in the template call when you use it.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 02:18, 9 November 2006 (EST)


Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of [[the Bennets' gun]] is? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
You are the best. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 13:39, 9 November 2006 (EST)
* I really can't tell from the pictures we have.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
**I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Taurus-605-left.jpg] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [http://www.waffen-hanje.de/Hanje-27-10-03/Taurus-605.jpg] [[User:Chrisyu357|Chrisyu357]] 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
*** I'm not an expert either, but the grip in [[:Image:Noah_grabs_his_gun.jpg|this image]] doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the [http://www.meprolightoutlet.com/item/9863_Taurus_Hand_Guns_Pistols__85__Ultra_Light_Re.aspx Taurus 85 Ultra Light], but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT)


== Help with a useful template you made ==
==Disambiguation Pages==
Hardvice, I've noticed that [[Episode:Genesis]] and [[Hiro Nakamura]] have big ol' disambiguation logos at the top. I'm not too familiar with Wiki ettiquite, but shouldn't [[Hiro]] and [[Genesis]] point to the disambiguation pages... or is there some way we can make the big banner more subtle? I kind of liked it clean how it was before... or better yet, if the page was referenced using [[Hiro]] then it gets the disambiguation warning, but if it wasn't because you went directly to [[Hiro Nakamura]] , then it doesn't? I don't know if Wiki can do that --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 10:02, 9 November 2006 (EST)
* Actually, we can do the latter (and pretty easily), if we change [[Hiro]] so that it's not a redirect, but is instead the disambig banner and then includes the [[Hiro Nakamura]] article by typing <tt><nowiki>{{:Hiro Nakamura}}</nowiki></tt>. Changes made at [[Hiro Nakamura]] would automatically be reflected at [[Hiro]]. Pointing Hiro and Genesis to the disambig pages is probably not desirable because so many links point there ... it would mean an extra click whenever people follow the links, or else we'd have to go back and change about a million links (and keep doing it, because folks will keep linking that way). The oddsa are that most people who search for "Hiro" don't want "Future Hiro" and people who search for "Genesis" don't want "Genesis files". We can also definitely make the dismbig banner less obtrusive ... starting by making it text-only. The consistent formatting is nice, but you're right: in this context it's just distracting.<br><br>My suggestion would be 1) Change [[Hiro]] and [[Genesis]] from redirects to <tt><nowiki>{{disambiglead}}</nowiki></tt> plus <tt><nowiki>{{:Hiro Nakamura}}</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>{{:Episode:Genesis}}</nowiki></tt> respectively, and 2) make the banner less obtrusive. The only issue with 1) is that the two pages will then have separate talk pages, and I'm not sure if you can redirect a talk page (I think you can, but I don't recall for sure). I'd like to let Admin weigh in on this first, if that's ok.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 12:17, 9 November 2006 (EST)
** Sounds like a good compromise, Hardvice. And I do believe you can redirect talk pages so it shouldn't be an issue. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:41, 9 November 2006 (EST))
*** Thanks for taking care of this! Honestly, I didn't mind the banner bordering, and I like how direct navigation to the subjects comes out clean. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 18:51, 9 November 2006 (EST)


Hey, I have a problem with [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]]. I used [[Template:gueststarsnavcell]], but I can't get the random pipes to go away. Any suggestions??? Thanks.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 00:08, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
== Tag Team Cleanup ==
* I fixed [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]], but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
**Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
*** Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

* I'm just afraid that crew pages are the sort of thing that gets written quickly and then never updated. I want to make sure they're as up-to-date as possible since it's unlikely somebody will come back and edit them unless they have an image or episode to add.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:58, 9 November 2006 (EST)


== Tense ==
== Just had to say... ==


I was reading your userpage and I couldn't stop laughing at your theories. I really understand what you mean. Also love your skeptisism, Kinesokinesialkinesis and Autodefenestrokinesis but you forgot to add Claire to it as all she seems to do is throw herself out of windows :) --{{User:Irony/Signature}} 11:28, 14 February 2009 (EST)
Hey Hardvice, I noticed your changes to the [[the train wreck|train derailment]] article. I'm curious, are we really supposed to write all event recounts in the wiki in '''present''' tense?? If so, I'll try to do so in my future contributions... It just seems really grammatically awkward. ([[User:The3|3]] 22:14, 10 November 2006 (EST))
:For consistency all articles should be written in the same tense. Not sure if using present tense was carried over from another wiki or not, but it became the de facto standard here, so we keep all articles written in present tense. I'll add something to [[Heroes Wiki:About]] for reference. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 00:43, 11 November 2006 (EST))
* It ''is'' a little awkward, but in a series with time travel, it makes thing much, much easier to follow. If something's written in the past tense, you automatically know that it means the past relative to the moment being written about, and the same for the future tense. Otherwise, I would tend to agree that the past tense sounds much better for narrative descriptions. Otherwise, descriptions of Hiro's actions become so convoluted and unintelligible that it's hard to follow what's being said.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:56, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Hey, I have a problem with Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two. I used Template:gueststarsnavcell, but I can't get the random pipes to go away. Any suggestions??? Thanks.--Bob (talk) 00:08, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

  • I fixed Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two, but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
    • Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--Bob (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
      • Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Can you come contribute to this discussion Talk:Portal:Future Characters when you get a free minute...trying to avoid a potential snowballing problem with all the new stuff being added. Thanks --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 09/23/2008 12:57 (EST)

Just had to say...

I was reading your userpage and I couldn't stop laughing at your theories. I really understand what you mean. Also love your skeptisism, Kinesokinesialkinesis and Autodefenestrokinesis but you forgot to add Claire to it as all she seems to do is throw herself out of windows :) --IronyUTC CH 11:28, 14 February 2009 (EST)
