== Page Adding Checklist ==
this will make it easier for me to keep track of conversations.


==Matt feedback loop file==
So I was thinking of somehow doing a checklist of things that need to be done when a new article is added. For instance, when somebody adds a location, they should update [[Portal:Locations]] and [[Template:Location]]. When somebody adds a Graphic Novel Character, they should update [[Portal:Graphic Novel Characters]] and [[Template:GNcharacternav]] ... You get my point. Any thoughts on where such a checklist might go? I was thinking one of the help pages, unless you had a better idea. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 08:51, 1 January 2007 (EST)
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)
* Sounds about right. [[Help:Editing]] has a (small) section about adding new articles that could be linked out to something like Help:New article checklist. There's already a smidge of info on adding a new episode which could be moved into the new article.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:26, 1 January 2007 (EST)
* 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)


== Integrating Story Arcs ==
== [[Intuitive aptitude]] ==


I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)
* I had some ideas on how we can integrate some information about the story arcs. One thing is that [[Season One]] is getting a bit unwieldy. Maybe we can break it into individual articles for the arcs (like [Season One:Are You on the List? or something) and summarize the arcs on the main Season One page. We can also use the arcs to break [[Portal:Episodes]] into subpages, which we'll have to do sometime soon.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:18, 2 January 2007 (EST)
* 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 love it! I've been wanting to do that since I first read about Heroes, even before I ever caught an episode. (Yes, I'm a latecomer to the show - I've actually still never seen Genesis all the way through.) I especially like the idea for the portal page - makes the most amount of sense there. As for the Season One page, I kind of like that it's a list of all the episodes, albeit a bit long (and growing). Splitting the eps is a bit of dangerous ground - it's not really canonical, and there's no guarantee that eps will continue in arcs as such ... But I say let's go for it - we'll cross problematic bridges as we come to them. I'm not opposed to changing the layout of Season One - just not sure it's the ''best'' place for it. Let's try it an see... - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:29, 2 January 2007 (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)
*** 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)
*****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 ==
==References Split==
Speaking of splitting portals, I was thinking the [[Portal:References]] might need to be split soon. Maybe a simple subcat like "Movies" or "Comics" or something. Too soon? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:29, 2 January 2007 (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)
==AOTW Template==
Nice job! That should also make things easier if we ever have to protect the main page.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:26, 3 January 2007 (EST)
* I don't recall exactly.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:33, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
*Thanks. I just wish there was some more information we could throw in there. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:27, 3 January 2007 (EST)
** 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)


== PNG ==
== Account Removal ==


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)
* You'll be pleased to know that it looks like I fixed the png thumbnail issue where it'd end up distorted and in black and white. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 20:00, 3 January 2007 (EST))
** Awesomeness.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 20:19, 3 January 2007 (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]]
Good work tonight. Even if it really is early morning. I need sleep, but I'll be back to work on the recurring theme pages. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 03:36, 4 January 2007 (EST)
:Wow, y'all were up late last night! Great work - some really good changes! - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 06:55, 4 January 2007 (EST)


== PM ==
== Gun identification ==
* I wonder IF this work It's my 1st time Sending a Message I'm wondering IF this is the correct way.
* Just want to say Thanks for The advise and Help on this N00b. How do I align my Sig to the Right?<div style="text-align:right;">~ ~ ~ ~ [[User:Red|Red]] = {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</div>
**If you want to have it automatically align it, just add the colons to the text you typed in [[Special:Preferences]]. But it would be better to put a &lt;br> before them and put the tildes immediately after your comment, and not on the next line ... that way, you still get a line break but it doesn't break the formatting for other people's comments.<br><br>In other words, to get the signature you're using now, change the nickname field to <nowiki>"&lt;br>:::: ~ ~ ~ ~ [[User:Red|Red]] = "</nowiki>. Then, instead of putting it on a new line, put it right after your comment, like this: "comment<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" It will auto-insert the line break


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)
==Sources==
* 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)
*[[Help:Sources]] Doesn't Tell me How to use History tab only Talks about type of Sources. <div style="text-align:right;">~ ~ ~ [[User talk:Red|'''Red]] = ''~~&#126;~~''</div>
**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 was linking to [[Help:Sources]] to explain why some things like Niki's power, etc., don't get added to articles. As for the Diff/Hist rollback, it's an admin-only feature. You're better off just recreating the edit. You ''can'' click a version in History, click edit, and click save, but it will undo ''all'' subsequent changes. Again, it's better just to redo the edit manually.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:48, 4 January 2007 (EST)
*** 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 ==
== Comic Book Guru Needed! ==


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)
I understand you have a greater depth of knowledge about comic books than I do. Am I right that [[:Image:The contemplative hero.JPG|the image of D.L. outside the jail]] is referencing a comic book hero? I feel like there's a picture of Spider-man or Superman or Batman sitting in a similar fashion on a gargoyle, or on top of a building. I'd like to add it to references, but I'm not sure if it goes on [[Marvel Comics]] or [[DC Comics]]. ''Help!'' - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 20:48, 6 January 2007 (EST)
* 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)
* You see similar images in both Spiderman and Batman. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 11:40, 9 January 2007 (EST)
**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)

How do I nominate pages for deletion? On [http://www.lostpedia.com that other site], all you have to do is add a <nowiki>[[template:delete]]</nowiki>. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 01:06, 9 January 2007 (EST)

:: That's the right spot. You can also just talk about it on the discussion page. Another good spot is on [[Heroes Wiki:Administrator Portal]]. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 13:33, 9 January 2007 (EST)


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)
== Family Trees ==

* Okay, I got an image-map one set up at [[Petrelli (disambig)]]. Lemme know what you think. If the consensus is positive, I'll get cracking on the others.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:05, 9 January 2007 (EST)
* It looks <big>fantastic!</big> My two concerns (and I don't think there's much we can do about either):
# This looks fantastic for a full family like the Petrellis. When it comes to the Deveauxs, it'll just be a straight line from Charles to Simone. But again, not much we can do about that.
# This is really minor and nit-picky. Is there anyway to make ''only'' the pictures linked, and have the rest of the tree part unlinked? If not, not a big deal.
#* Hmmm. It's just an image, so it's linked just like every other image -- to the image page. There's one trick I can try to pull off ... lemme see if it'll work.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:50, 9 January 2007 (EST)
#* Yup. Worked fine.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:08, 9 January 2007 (EST)
#**I know that was a minor detail, but it I'm impressed - what did you do? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 17:51, 9 January 2007 (EST)
#***I split it into three layers: the background image, a transparent layer with invisible text which covers up the background layer so the link doesn't work, and the images.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:17, 9 January 2007 (EST)
#**** Soo... could you add a layer of cream cheese? hehehe - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 18:29, 9 January 2007 (EST)
* I love it. We can allways hope we get largerr families in the future. Who knows, it seems strange genes attract each other within the Heores universe.
** None of the trees are matching up for me. The pictures and links are, but the lines and m.s are all sortsa crazy for me. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 18:42, 9 January 2007 (EST)
*** I'm in the process of adjusting them. Once they're done, you may need to reload around your browser cache (CTRL+F5, probably) to get everything to behave.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:47, 9 January 2007 (EST)
This is what I see. Waaaaaay off. :( Please help. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 18:50, 9 January 2007 (EST)
*What browser are you using? I'd guess it doesn't support CSS positioning, but if the portals all look right, it must.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:51, 9 January 2007 (EST)
** IE7 --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 18:52, 9 January 2007 (EST)
*** Oh wow. Positioning is in fact broken in IE7. I'm guessing [[:Category:Characters]] looks crazy, too? It does on mine. I'll have to see what I can do.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:56, 9 January 2007 (EST)
**** Looks like masking out the image link caused it. Blame Ryan. I'll see if I can get it working in IE7, but if I can't, I'll just unmask the backgrounds.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:04, 9 January 2007 (EST)
***** That's fine, blame me. :) Like I said, I don't really mind if the background space links - minor detail. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|The Scapegoat]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:09, 9 January 2007 (EST)
**** [[:Category:Characters]] was funky, but it's fixed now in IE7. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 21:33, 9 January 2007 (EST)
*** Cool. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 19:16, 9 January 2007 (EST)

== Principal Characters Image Map ==

Were you going to make an image map out of [[:Image:Principal Characters.JPG]]? I think it would look really awesome in [[:Category:Principal Cast]], sort of like [[:Template:heromap]] is on [[:Category:Characters]], but the portals remain as they are. (Does that make any sense?) I'm willing to try my hand at making the image map (I feel so liberated now!), but I'd want to spend some time on it - probably not until MLK day. (If we're going to do an image map, is there a larger version of the pic of which you're aware?) - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:19, 10 January 2007 (EST)
* Yeah, I forgot all about it, what with Christmas and all. As far as I know, that's the only version of the picture available online. There might be a scan of it somewhere, but I haven't seen one. We can blow it up a little, but probably not much. Given your newfound imagemap powers, if you'd like to take a crack at it, be my guest (the only difference here is getting the individual images, and that you need to write down the coordinates they belong at since they have to be more precise than [[Template:Locationmap]], but otherwise it's the same process).--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:42, 10 January 2007 (EST)
**Okay, two things. 1, the image came from Time magazine, right? Any idea which issue - I'll head to the library so I can scan it. 2, in writing down the coordinates, how do I know where to ''find'' the coordinates? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:47, 10 January 2007 (EST)
***What image editor do you use? Most show the coordinates of your selection box in the status bar. They start with the upper left corner, which is what we need, and display either the bottom right coordinates or the size of the selection, which you don't need. (You can, of course, fudge it like Locationmap, but it can take seemigly hours to get them lined up exactly, which is No Fun At All. As for the image, I'm not even 100% sure it was in the print version -- it may have been an onlin-only feature -- but I'll see what I can find out.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:53, 10 January 2007 (EST)
****Oh, yes, I see it now. Thanks. I'll get to work on that, um, maybe on Monday. (Going camping on Friday. Can't wait for the cold, he says sarcastically.) - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 18:24, 10 January 2007 (EST)

== Edit conflicts ==

Looks like we were editing [[Hiroshima Peace Memorial]] at the same time. Sorry if I lost any of your edits - I think I restored everything, but I'm getting a headache and am going to bed. G'night! - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 23:42, 10 January 2007 (EST)

==Spoiler Images==
* Incidentally, the [[:Category:Spoiler_Images|thumbnails]] you uploaded came from here[http://search.console.net/photos.shtml?config=photos], just enter your search text and it'll bring up thumbnails of promotional images. Unfortunately, you need a Press Pass [http://nbcumv.com/registration/register.nbc login] with NBC to get the full scale images and the License agreement appears quote onerous with regard to what you can do with the images. At the very least, to comply with the License agreement, we need to have an explicit credit to NBC Universal wherever applicable. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 00:42, 11 January 2007 (EST)
** Actually, I capped all those from the promo clips on NBC.com.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:45, 11 January 2007 (EST)
*** Sorry for the confusion then. There's a whole array of photos that are shuffling around 9th Wonders that are sourced from the NBC promo archive. Many of them looked similar. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 00:58, 11 January 2007 (EST)
**** Are they any bigger? The ones I got are puny because I had to use the YouTube FLVs (it's too darned hard to pause the online vids to ALT+PRT SCRN since the promos cut so fast ... I can export the FLVs to VirtualDub and step through frame-by-frame) and they are really crap resolution. We could use bigger ones--if we're going to use them at all. I have zero interest in the Spoilers section, though, and so far nobody seems to want to use them, so maybe we should play on the safe side and just delete 'em.
***** I don't see any interest in them either - neither by me nor anyone else that has used them. They're cool, but I, myself, don't care to put them anywhere. I say delete them - but good job finding them. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 06:55, 11 January 2007 (EST)
***** I think you need a press pass to get full-size promotional images - this is the stuff that makes it into magazine articles. That road sounds like a conflict of interest, because it converts us from a fan-site to a promotional junket. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 09:22, 11 January 2007 (EST)

== Idea for Easier Maintenance on [[Portal:Minor Characters]] ==
So I just made small change to the minor characters portal, and I then had to go back on all 4 minor character portals and update the portalCharacterSmall navigations on the bottom. Maybe it's not worth it, but I thought it'd be easier if that were just a simple template in the bottom. That way we could just update one template, and they all fix themselves. I might take a stab at creating that little template soon. Thoughts? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2007 (EST)
* I took a stab at it into [[Template:PortalCharNav]]. Let me know what you think. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 16:57, 17 January 2007 (EST)
** Looks great. We just need to install it on the portals and we should be good to go. Thanks! One question though: since the template is testing for <tt>"Minor Characters"</tt> (with quotes), and not <tt>Minor Characters</tt> (''sans'' quotes), do we need to use quotes in the template calls?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:04, 17 January 2007 (EST)
*** I just fixed it to not require the "". I am going through the portals fixing it now. In the future, we should only have to edit the nav template, and everything should be set. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 17:07, 17 January 2007 (EST)

::I saw that we can redirect to sections now ... that rocks!
::: Very cool. Part of the upgrade. I went and redid some of the NYC jumps. Others could be done, if you want.
::What are the numbers on Recent Changes?
:::Net characters added/removed. Helps gauge the degree of change represented by the diff. Incidentally if the change is -500 or less it will apparently make it bold on the RC list as a way of alerting that a large amount of text was removed (potentially vandalism). ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 00:15, 17 January 2007 (EST))
::: + and - bytes (or characters) &mdash; bigger numbers = bigger changes. Really big changes get bolded, I think.
::Just finished Wireless Part 4 and I agree ... majorly interesting.
::: I'm really curious how they're going to integrate Hana into the show. I also like the idea of a 4-part GN - it allows for such greater character building. Plus, globe-trotter: Israel, Alaska, Tanzania, and ... Montana? Phew!
::The image maps look great, and the article for the Homecoming paintings is really slick.
:::Thanks ... it's getting there... I'd like to add a bit more content.
::Any decision on the Character Box template update?
:::I think it's a great idea. I haven't gotten around to it. Parser codes are not my thing. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 00:24, 17 January 2007 (EST)

:I don't want to burst either of your bubbles, but I paused the Google Ads around the same time. :) The ads are most effective when there are new episodes coming out and otherwise just burn a lot of cash with less return.

== Another Standard Sized Image Needed ==

Should [[:Image:Blank.jpg]] be made 450 x 350? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 13:41, 20 January 2007 (EST)
* Probably.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:41, 20 January 2007 (EST)

== Main Page ==

* The template approach for the main page is a good idea. I just want to make sure you know I didn't protect the main page against edits entirely, I only locked out moves since moving the main page is something that really requires coordination with me in order to be done right (updating config files, etc.).

Matt feedback loop file

My computer (and probably a few others') do not support .ogg format. Would you mind reuploading File:Powers peter matt.ogg. Shoyru1177 18:51, 21 June 2008 (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.--Hardvice (talk) 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Intuitive aptitude

I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)

  • 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?--Hardvice (talk) 17:51, 7 February 2008 (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. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2008 (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. (Admin 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST))

Category:Characters autocat

Why was the autocategorization for Category:Characters removed? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

  • I don't recall exactly.--Hardvice (talk) 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. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 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.--Hardvice (talk) 18:37, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Account Removal

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

Lostpedia Family Tree Help

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 DECBOY23 13:44, 14 May 2008 (EDT)DECBOY23

Gun identification

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! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

  • I really can't tell from the pictures we have.--Hardvice (talk) 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
    • I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [1] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [2] Chrisyu357 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
      • I'm not an expert either, but the grip in 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 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?--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Help with a useful template you made

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)

Talk:Portal:Future Characters

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)
