==Matt feedback loop file==
== [[Special:Wantedpages]] problem ==
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)
* 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]] ==


I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)
Hey I don't think you're on right now, but if you get this, could you check out a problem that some people are having with the red links page? [[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] says it might be that someone swapped in the test.heroeswiki.com domain this morning for the home page. I'm a bit clueless. See [[User_talk:Ryangibsonstewart#Episode:EpisodeTitle|here]] for details. Thanks! &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 20:05, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
* I think [[User:Admin|Admin]]'s the only one who could have done so. We had the same problem back when he created the Episode: namespace, and he was able to fix it by running an update of some sort. I assume the same applies now.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 21:02, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
* 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)
**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)
**Thanks. That's kinda what I thought, but wasn't sure. Techno jargon is not my strong point. :) &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 21:21, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
*** What's this about test.heroeswiki.com? That's a test site I use personally and nothing here should reference it. Did something happen? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 23:09, 2 May 2007 (EDT))
*** 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)
**** Dunno. [[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] said the main page and some templates are pulling from it, but I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:10, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
*****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)

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)

** 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)

== Upgrade ==
* 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 ==
* Not sure if you saw my note on the [[Heroes Wiki:Administrator Portal|Administrator Portal]], but I upgraded MediaWiki from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0 over the weekend. Has a few new features that are documented in the release notes (there's a link to them on the portal). ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:49, 21 May 2007 (EDT))
** I looked through the release notes a bit. Nothing monumental, but some nice little changes.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:50, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
***One small thing that I like is that the amount of bytes are included in the history. It'd be nice to have the +bytes and -bytes, but that's okay, I can do some simple math. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 14:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
****They didn't release a patch from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0. I think they wanted a full upgrade, but I've modified some of the code and really didn't feel like having to go back and find all the changes. Fortunately a quick "svn diff" between their 1.9.3 and 1.10.0 releases gave me a nice patch file that I was able to test and apply successfully to bring the version up to date. Keep a lookout for any messed up PNG thumbnails. I had to pull that code out prior to applying the patch because it looks like they may have fixed that issue themselves. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:55, 21 May 2007 (EDT))


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)
== Why hello there ==
* 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)
