== Linderman image ==


== Spam ==
Where did you find the latest Linderman image? Also, is it for s1 or s3? --[[User:Cylon|Cylon]] 13:57, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
* Which image? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:43, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
**[[:Image:Linderman face.jpg]] --[[User:Cylon|Cylon]] 13:01, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
*** It's from an issue of ''Entertainment Weekly''. I don't remember what issue, but it was from about a year ago, if I recall, so it's probably from around Season 2. Why do you ask? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:08, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
****No specific reason, I just like seeing the HQ promo photos. I didn't know if that was one of the cast photos NBC released for Season 3, since Linderman is back. --[[User:Cylon|Cylon]] 12:20, 2 October 2008 (EDT)


Hi Ryan, please do something, there's a lot of spammers and I can't block them on the wiki. Thank you --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 16:42, 6 January 2016 (EST)

You still missed quite "a few".
Hey, Ryan. This is Samantha486e61, or Hana, as you can call me. Just wanted to let you know that I can type and am fleunt in Leet, if you need me to type or translate anything. You can reply to my user page. Thanks, Hana :)


[http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&offset=&limit=1000 This page] shows all new pages created, including the spam, so you just need to keep deleting them until you see there aren't any except regular non-spam pages.

== Re-spam ==
I could possibly translate a few pages (perhaps Ted Sprague's emails to Hana etc.) I also would like to make a Leet Heroes Wiki page, so that other users could learn or translate other texts they have found. I think a Leet page would be useful on Heroes Wiki. If you don't think so, I totally understand and will forget the idea. Thanks again, Hana :)
* Is there a demand for a Leet Heroes Wiki? [[User:Admin|Admin]] sets up the new language wikis, so you can certainly run the idea by him...but I don't think there's really a need for it. Why don't you try translating a few pages and putting them in your user namespace (something like {{nowantedlink|User:SAMANTHA486e61/Peter Petrelli|red=t}}) and see what happens from there. And I believe [[Ted's email]] is already translated (see [[Ted's email#The Email's Translation|here]]), but if you find something else that needs to be translated, please feel free! You seem very enthusiastic about contributing, and I think that's terrific! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:41, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
** I think the request may have been for just a single article here that documents how to do the translation. If so I'm not sure how well it would fit here, however it could certainly be done on a user subpage. If it turns out nicely then maybe we'll realize a good place for it. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 16:45, 1 October 2008 (EDT))


Hi Ryan,<br/>It seems the spammers start again. Sorry to wake you up. I tried to write to Admin by email. I know this is the sleeping time for you. Admin should install the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke Nuke extension] to faster the deletion of spammers' pages.

* Hey Ryan in "Talk:Portal:International Locations" i'm talking about Maui, i realized i needed to put this in the American section. Is there a way to move the page.
:: I took care of it and temporarily disabled new user creation since we're in a slow period between episodes anyway. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 06:48, 7 January 2016 (EST))

== Refrences ==
==Dark Future vs Explosion Future==
*Hi Ryan, i know we decided to split up the two dark future's, one where Future Hiro doesn't go back and one we saw on tv where Hiro does go back but there is no Dark Future page, should there be one? cause in my opinion there should be one -- [[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 15:21, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
** I'm not sure I understand. [[Dark Future]] is a disambiguation article about the various futures we've seen. The future we used to call "Dark Future" is now called [[Explosion Future]]. That's the future that Present Hiro and Present Ando visit in ''[[Five Years Gone]]''. Is that what you're looking for? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:14, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
***Actually i mean the Future where Walls 1 & Walls 2, this seems to be a different future because Hiro didn't go back there, my suggestion is to keep the "Dark Future" and the "Explosion Future" apart from eachother.
**** The future shown in ''[[Walls]]'' is written about [[Explosion Future#Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 1|here]]. I'm not sure what the difference is between "Dark Future" and "Explosion Future". I think the ''Walls'' future is meant to be the same future as the one in ''[[Five Years Gone]]'', only it takes place slightly before Present Hiro and Present Ando arrive. It explains how F_Niki and F_Peter met, it shows F_Matt's total douchebaggery, and it shows a bleak future where specials are hunted and imprisoned (probably per the [[Linderman Act]]). When ''Five Years Gone'' came out, it was the first future they showed, and I don't think TPTB were playing with multiple futures right away. Plus, ''Walls'' was released right at the same time as ''5YG'', and usually the graphic novels are in some way linked to the episode they accompany. I think they're the same future. Is that what you're looking for? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 07:10, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
*****Yes, thank you!


I wanted to cite my source for edits I made to [[Gemini Formula]] but the refrences formating is not working at all. I have no clue how to fix it. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 06:15, 28 January 2016 (EST)
== Hi, Ryan! I updated! ==
* We don't use a template for references like Wikipedia. We just put the source afterwards. So it would just be something like this. (''[[Heroes Reborn: Enigma]]'') ... Where exactly are you trying to put the source? I'll take care of it if you have a hard time with it... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 06:24, 28 January 2016 (EST)
** I took care of it. I didn't think it looked right to leave the reference normal font size, so I shrunk it. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 08:07, 28 January 2016 (EST)
*** I made it the normal size for standardization. Good work on the page! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:23, 28 January 2016 (EST)


== Differences in Gemini & Enigma ==
Hey, Ryan! This is Samantha48e61. I expanded some stubs from the stub catagory, like "Hispanic Woman" and "London, England" to help you out. I also got a brillant realization that Heroes Wiki is so serious about their work, and there's hardly any humor involved at all, so I added a bit of humor to a few photos, like Image:Sandras hero.jpg and Image:Baby Nathan.jpg. Please reply to my page when you get a chance. Thanks, Wireless


I noticed in Enigma when Dahlia & 2014 Cassie interact that Cassie isn't wearing the Renautas smart glasses. Also in Enigma during the last meeting between Dahlia & 2014 Cassie, Dahlia doesn't have ask Cassie to do anything about the lasers or the platform she can't jump to because it is to high.
== Thanks Ryan! ==


Should we mention the differences at all? If so where? --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 08:06, 28 January 2016 (EST)
Thanks for the info on my humorous comments! I have a few questions, though. How do you create a user subpage? And what's a user namespace? I'm really sorry to be bothering you with all these questions, I apologize. Oh, and by the way, where did you move my comments? Thanks again, Wireless
* I noticed those same things. We usually mention continuity errors in the Notes section of the page. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:26, 28 January 2016 (EST)
** You could also mention them to developer support at http://phosphorgames.com/blog/connect/ as Phosphor might decide to fix them if they decide to release a new edition of the games.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:30, 28 January 2016 (EST)
**RGS should it be mentioned on both games or just one game? If only one game which? --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 12:01, 28 January 2016 (EST)
*** Both since it's an error that affects both. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:39, 28 January 2016 (EST)


== Minor Cast ==
== Re: New Season ==
Hey, Ryan. If you have time could you please update the minor cast because I have no idea how to do it... [[User:HiroMystery|HiroMystery]] 19:42, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
* Yeah, I'll work on it after the kids go to bed. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:46, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
**Okay. Is Linderman a minor or supporting? We have him in both categories... [[User:HiroMystery|HiroMystery]] 19:51, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
*** That's not really a decision I should be making, but if you're asking my opinion, I think he's a minor character this season. On the other hand, he's scheduled to be in the next two episodes. I guess it depends on his role--if he appears as much as he did in the first two episodes this season, then I would consider him a recurring character. If he just appears in passing (like [[Kaito]] did in ''[[The Second Coming]]''), I would consider him a minor character. That's my personal take on it. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:19, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
****Yeah, I just wanted your opinion. So I'll just remove Linderman from the supporting portal for now.[[User:HiroMystery|HiroMystery]] 20:24, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
* At this point, the guest star portals will automatically update when an article is written for a guest star. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:14, 2 October 2008 (EDT)


The article you linked in Template:News at http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/heroes-reborn-season-one-ratings-38153/ just shows the ratings now and not that the current season will not be renewed. Am I missing something? Did the article change?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 22:10, 1 February 2016 (EST)
== Tech template ==
* Sorry, wrong link. I'll fix it. Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:27, 1 February 2016 (EST)
** I think you should also add a link to one of the articles where I think Kring's comments can be summarized as that the ''Heroes'' saga isn't over even though ''Heroes Reborn'' as a tv series is not planned to continue, such as http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/heroes-reborn-tim-kring-not-done-heroes-yet/ --[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 23:23, 1 February 2016 (EST)
* Thanks, I will add that. Feel free to update the links on your own in the future, if you want. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:50, 2 February 2016 (EST)
** Ok, changed 'incantations' to 'incarnations' as I think that's what you meant... :)--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 19:04, 2 February 2016 (EST)


== BananaClownMan ==
Thanks for picking up the no so visible half of my [[Portal:Technology|Idea]] :) --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 00:26, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
* No problem. I was actually going to do the same thing tomorrow, but I was going to call it "Electronics". "Technology" works better. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:33, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
** I thought so! Great minds... :D --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}}


Can you talk with this guy? He does not listen, and edits everything with his wrong info. Look at these links [[http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Peter_Petrelli&diff=478367&oldid=477511|1]] he made a change, admin corrected it, and today he made the same change again [[http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Peter_Petrelli&diff=478367&oldid=477511|2]] [[User:Sekobro|Sekobro]] 14:52, 11 February 2016‎

* Sorry, I must have missed this message... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:09, 18 February 2016 (EST)


== Delete photo ==
I wasn't sure what you meant by this:


Hey I wanted ask you maybe you can delete this photo File:Adamhiro.jpg. It is very old photo. [[User:Adamhiro|Adamhiro]] 15:06, 18 February 2016‎
"that's not noting that she can feel her hands burn, that's spec about the cause for her new condition"
* Done. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:08, 18 February 2016 (EST)


== Damen Peak ==


Hey, so we have been terrible at keeping the website up to date! lol, but I just made the 3 parts for the Damen Peak webisodes. If you could help me out some by uploading photos and summaries, that would be great. Right now, the portal has the standard picture for all 3 of them....so that's a problem... {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 18:20, 18 February 2016 (EST)
Should I have put that in the notes section, in the theories section or on a discussion page instead? In the scene, she pulls her hands off the wall after it becomes hot and looks at them, which to me indicates that she can still feel pain, otherwise she wouldn't have even known that her hands were heated.
* Sure. That will have to wait until this weekend or later though. I don't have my computer with me that can easily edit images. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:22, 18 February 2016 (EST)
**Awesome! I don't know who wrote and directed the first and last ones (I took the names from the second and put them on all three)...With this, we don't have actors for Jim and Lilly...We need episode pictures and title pictures as well as image-nav things...Do the ability pages need updating?...Do I need to attach URLs to the videos on NBC website?....I updated the checklist. So only the things listed on DP, Part 2 that aren't checked are what we still need to do. {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 09:57, 19 February 2016 (EST)
*** Whole thing was written and directed by the same people. No known actors for Jim or Lilly unfortunately. I've done some digging and can't figure it out. (A lot of the crew that I'm in contact with didn't even know that these web exclusives even existed...) I'll work on episode pictures this weekend. I think the ability page for [[persuasion]] has already been updated, but we could use some more images. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:40, 19 February 2016 (EST)


== Vengeance ==
As you can probably tell, I'm still getting the hang of things around here, so any help on where stuff like that goes would be appreciated. Thanks. :)


Hey, just wondering about the Issues portal. Who were the Vengeances centered around? We have it as "El Vengador" who technically isn't a person....Is there someone else that we can put on that? {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 16:41, 26 February 2016 (EST)
* I think keeping it as El Vengador is fine, since it was about both Oscar and his grandfather, as well as the idea of being El Vengador. It reminds me of the Evs Dropper comics in that way, in that Evs wasn't a single person either. But to answer your question, the comics are all told from Oscar's perspective. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:32, 26 February 2016 (EST)


== Episode Pages ==
[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 10:56, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
* Your edit summary said you were "noting that she appears to feel her hands burn in the container". Adding "though there is some question as to how much of this is a psychosomatic effect of her attack" is not nothing anything about her new condition of not being able to feel. Plus, it's speculating about the reason for her new condition. If you want to add something about the fact that she could feel her hands burning--or that she seemed in pain when she couldn't breathe--it'd be fine on the page in the section about her powers. We really shouldn't speculate that she's having psychosomatic symptoms or PTS or anything like that. That part would be a theory right now...And you're doing a fine job, by the way. We all start somewhere, and we're all on different learning curves. Keep up the good work, keep asking questions, and you'll get the hang of it! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:01, 3 October 2008 (EDT)


Hey, so there is a lot still to do here for Heroes Reborn and I was wondering if you, me, and maybe some others would like to devote the next couple of weeks to getting it all up to speed. So I'm suggesting this week we really go hard on getting the episode pages done. Summaries, Plots, MQs, etc. You think we can encourage others to help us?
==Jim Martin==
I know this is a lot, but you couldn't give me his contact details could you? I want to set up a email with Tim Kring and I know the OWI did theirs through him. Thanks.--[[User:Skywalkerrbf|Skywalkerrbf]] 11:45, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
* I'd rather not give out his email address. I'm sure you understand, though. After you build up a relationship with somebody, passing their emails out like trading cards isn't the most tactful thing to do! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:46, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
** Yer, yer I know what you mean, I've been building up a relationship with you mate [[Jason Badower|Jason]]. Would you mind asking him about the possibility of me doing a interview over the phone with Tim though? It would really mean a lot to me, my 3 mins last time was nowhere near enough.--[[User:Skywalkerrbf|Skywalkerrbf]] 12:55, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
*** That's kind of the plan I have...for me. :) When I'm ready to ask, I'd rather do the interview myself. Sorry, Rob! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:13, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Remember us? :P Yeah, the dudes who made the comic and the controversy a few weeks ago. We just wanted to let you guys know that we finally completed the second episode. Anthony really outdid himself with the art, and we hope you enjoy it!


{{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 15:47, 29 February 2016 (EST)
^_^
* Controversy! More like people who just had a difference of opinions. :) I love the second comic! Personally, I think the page is ready to move into the main namespace. I'll go ahead and move it (based on the discussions that you simply needed more content), make the page a bit snazzier for you, and add it to the portals. If anybody takes issue with it, they can talk about it at [[Talk:Unexpected Heroes]]. (Viva Mr. Muggles!) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 09:23, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
* Totally agree. Sounds like a plan. I am pretty busy intermittently in the next few weeks with work and other commitments. But I help out wherever I can when I get a chance. I know you have a hard time doing pictures, so if there are any images you need, just drop a note on my page I'd be glad to get them for you when I get a chance. FYI, title cards for 512 and 513 don't exist. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:38, 29 February 2016 (EST)


== Gabriel Gray's Family Tree ==
== Season Summary ==
Hey Ryan, i noticed the gray family tree still exists, since we now know that Gabriel is the son of Angela Petrelli, shouldn't that be adjusted. -- [[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 02:09, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
* Yeah. I think after ''{{ep|302}}'', we were waiting to find out a few more details. Angela said she put up Sylar for adoption, so that's probably all the details we need now. I'll take care of it this morning. However, since Angela is not a Gray, I won't update [[Gray (disambig)]] other than making sure we note that Gabriel was adopted (just as Nathan's not a [[Bennet]], so he's not on that page). I'll update [[Petrelli (disambig)]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 09:05, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
** Okay, all done. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:37, 5 October 2008 (EDT)


Hey, I realize this is kind of forward looking, but I was updating the Season History templates in case we get another installment and need to do a Reborn portion. I am having difficulties with three things:
== image help! ==
1) When I type "Noah Bennet/Heroes Reborn" it does not take me to the button that says "New season summary page"
2) If I were to put it on the original page as <nowiki>{{season summary|season=Reborn}}</nowiki>, then the link appears as <nowiki>[[Noah Bennet/Season Reborn|Noah Bennet: Season Reborn History]]</nowiki>
3) On the top of the Season archive footer template, it will normally link to the previous season history if their is one and I can't seem to work it with the Reborn part
Can you help me with these couple things? Thanks, {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 15:50, 10 March 2016 (EST)
* The "new season summary page" is set up to appear when the title "/Season" appears in the subpagename. I can make a workaround for the few individual pages. I don't think we need to do any major structural changes since this really only affects Noah and maybe a handful of other characters. If there's another iteration of ''Heroes'', then we can cross that bridge later. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 23:44, 10 March 2016 (EST)
** Actually, I think the biggest issue is that there was a misspelling on the archive page. It said "Rebron" instead of Reborn" so I don't think it was pulling the info correctly... Also, on Noah's main page, I didn't use the template, I just wrote the info, which works... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:13, 11 March 2016 (EST)
*** Oh, okay. I wasn't meaning that we do it now. It was mainly just to smooth the bridges later incase we needed to. It shows the category at the bottom of Noah Bennet/Heroes Reborn ''Category:Season Reborn Histories''. I have tried to work around it, but I don't quite understand the if exist or page name templates and how I can utilize that to work. {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 07:48, 11 March 2016 (EST)
**** The "if exist" command just means that if the page exists on the wiki, do whatever it says to do. So something like <tt><nowiki>{{#ifexist: Peter Petrelli | [[Peter Petrelli]] | Peter Petrelli }}</nowiki></tt> means that if there is a page called "Peter Petrelli" on the wiki, link it. If not, don't link it. That command would show up as {{#ifexist: Peter Petrelli | [[Peter Petrelli]] | Peter Petrelli }}. Something like <tt><nowiki>{{#ifexist: Foo | [[Foo]] | Foo }}</nowiki></tt> would show up as just {{#ifexist: Foo | [[Foo]] | Foo }}. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:05, 11 March 2016 (EST)
**** I fixed the category issue. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:23, 11 March 2016 (EST)
*** Is there a way for me to edit the MediaWiki:Newarticletext page to have the New Season Summary page button appear if it says ''Heroes Reborn''? {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 08:22, 11 March 2016 (EST)

Hey,
== Suggestion ==


So with Heroes Reborn ending, we have a lot of stubs out there and frankly most of the new articles are incomplete (including episode pages). Therefore, I am hoping to inspire you and others to do this challenge with me. On my [[User:Iheartheroes|userpage]], I have gone to all of the stubbed pages and separated them out by episode. Therefore, we can rewatch an episode and pay extra attention to these things that have stubs. So, my challenge is to follow this schedule to get everything listed under each category done. Hopefully if we all work together and can narrow down where we can help, we can finish this soon.
Hi there!
I have a suggestion for the Abilities page.


Schedule:
I think that Knox's power should be separated from Niki/Jessica's.
*Week of March 20: {{epp|501}}
His power is of a different nature - he absorbs fears. Maybe his category should be Fear Absorption (and in the description you could say he uses this to increase his strength).
*Week of March 27: {{epp|502}}
*Week of April 3: {{epp|503}}
*Week of April 10: {{epp|504}}
*Week of April 17: {{epp|505}}
*Week of April 24: {{epp|506}}
*Week of May 1: {{epp|507}}
*Week of May 8: {{epp|508}}
*Week of May 15: {{epp|509}}
*Week of May 22: {{epp|510}}
*Week of May 29: {{epp|511}}
*Week of June 5: {{epp|512}}
*Week of June 12: {{epp|513}}


After this, we have graphic novels, webisodes, ebooks, and ability pages to finish up. But this way, a lot of it can get done. If you can't help one week or something, that's okay! This is just to inspire you and others to team together to get this done, there aren't a lot of pages under each episode, so maybe we could bust it out in a week, but maybe not! What do you say, you in? {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 14:05, 15 March 2016 (EDT)
Also while I'm on the topic, I think Meredith's and Flint's powers should be separated into 3 categories. Meredith seems to have control over a weaker fire, while Flint seems to shoot extremely hot blasts. While they both have pyrokenesis, they seem to be of a different type. Then again I don't know how you would split them. Pyrokenesis and Blue Pyrokenesis? Lol. Just something to think about.
* It's a great idea, and I love the amount of thought you put into this. I'll do my best to stay on schedule, but I can't promise anything. Spring is my super busy time of the year, getting ready for summer camp, wrapping up schoolwork, and getting my kids to all their sports activities. I'll try to stay with it, but I can't dedicate time now like I used to ... :( -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:49, 16 March 2016 (EDT)
**Sounds great! Will you do me a favor and fill in [[Coach Lewis]]' ability section? I have never really been good at these because I don't really know what to put. This would get this page all caught up. Thanks {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 15:41, 21 March 2016 (EDT)

== Godsend, Part 4 ==
Thanks again for maintaining this awesome site which I visit regularly!
-Dan
* Thanks for the suggestion, Dan. Feel free to contribute to the discussion at [[Talk:Enhanced strength]]. Personally, I think we should use the information given to us--that Knox's ability is called "enhanced strength" and Flint's is called "pyrokinesis", according to their [[assignment tracker]] profiles. I think the differences should be explained in the page itself, rather than making new pages for abilities that are the same. It's kind of like having a page for [[Micah's computer]] when it's assembled and another page for when it's disassembled. They're still the same thing, just in different formats. But that's just where I'm coming from, and I respect the fact that not everybody agrees with me! :) Glad you're enjoying the site! Isn't this season off to a fantastic start? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:05, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
**I was unaware of the existance of these assignment tracker profiles. But I agree that we should go by what those say since they are given to us by the Heroes creators. Thanks and yes - this season has definately started off with a bang! -Dan
*** Yeah, those profiles are pretty cool, aren't they! I think we're up to 16, now--take a look at some of 'em, they're chock full of information. Plus, check out the [[assignment tracker map]]--another very cool gift from the writers, exploding with great stuff! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:42, 17 October 2008 (EDT)


Hey, do you by chance have Godsend, Part 4? I noticed today that there wasn't a page for it yet, so I made one but I do not have a copy of it, so I cannot put any actual information on it. {{User:Iheartheroes/sig}} 18:45, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
== Lower casings ==
* Yes, I have it. I was actually coming here to update the site in preparation for Part 5 which comes out tomorrow. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:04, 12 July 2016 (EDT)

I changed every parenthetical in the [[Portal:Future_Characters]] to lower case, but I muffed up Mohinders. I don't know how to get rid of it. Also, there are alot of double redirects...

== Villains future ==

Hi. I just wanted to ask if the villains future is a temporary setup to better keep track of events, and if it will be merged with the exposed future once the storyline plays out (I wasn't around, but I'm assuming this is what happened in Season 1...?). I think it's technically the same future (confirmed by BTE), and since we don't know that much about the changes that are occurring because of Peter's actions, it's not entirely clear if things like Angela's dream and Hiro's visit to Tokyo are part of the same possible future or two different ones. [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 13:31, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
*The BTE interview never specifically stated it's a different future (they like to use word games to tease the fans). Plus, we have a canon source, Angela and Usutu in episodes, who states that the future changed. Angela even knows that the future changed because Peter came back from the exposed future. So, the villains future that Angela and Hiro have seen is different. How different? We'll see, but it's similar to Season One. Future Hiro came to the present to tell Peter to save the cheerleader, and when he returned, not much changed, but there was a difference. Claire had survived and lived, Sylar did not have cell regeneration, and Peter was the source of the explosion. I think the reason this was split was because a) people jumped the gun, and b) Angela specifically states that Peter messed up the future. I'm going to the [[explosion future]] page now to see if it's noted that the future was changed with Future Hiro's trip to the present, but it should be noted. --{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 14:00, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
** Hi. First off, thank you for the response. I actually meant that they are the same future, though different...that the villains future is really the exposed future with whatever changes that were made by Peter's actions (as you said, similar to Season 1). I think Peter may have even already been back to the future this season and seen things changed, as he tells Claire things are different, and I don't think he was just taking Angela's word, though that's somewhat speculative right now. It's also possible that the future Angela saw may be dfferent than the one Hiro saw (ie - the same future but with additional changes), but, as with the rest, I assume it will work itself out with time (ie - we'll adjust things as more information becomes available). Again, thanks for the response. :) [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 16:39, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
*** I'm not sure what you mean by "the same future, though different" -- it sounds suspiciously like the actual theory of the [[Ray Bradbury|butterfly effect]]--even the slightest changes today can have drastic effects later on. The slightest differences in two futures really mean that the futures are very different....But ultimately you're right, we'll have to wait to see what else happens and how things play out. Can't wait! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:54, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
**** By 'same but different' I just meant it was all part of the same timeline, just incorporating the changes. But yes, I ertainly can't wait (and tonight's episode was excellent, both overall and in terms of answering some questions! [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 00:55, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

== Futures ==

Hey. I was going to try to add all the new future characters and organize the futures, but I wasn't sure what format we're going with. I noticed you recently decapitalized a lot of stuff, so I'm guessing that we're going with bth words in lower case letters? The thing with that seems to be that the actual [[http://heroeswiki.com/Future future page]] has them in caps. I tried moving it (ie - Exposed future --> exposed future) but it told me it's the same page and cannot overwrite it. Is the only way to align everything to copy the info from the old pages into new ones with the correct URLs, and then somehow delete the old ones, or is there a better method for this? I have no problem working on those sections, trying to get everything tidied up, but I wanted to check on the best way to proceed before doing so. Thanks. [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 00:51, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
* Since the futures don't have proper names, their pages shouldn't be capitalized. MediaWiki automatically capitalizes the first letter of every article title, regardless of what you try to do to it. So a page that clearly doesn't need to have a capital letter will get one--[[goggles]] and [[Goggles]] are the exact same page, for instance. When moving a page, it's always preferred to use the move button at the top of the page (rather than cutting and pasting) so the history is maintained, redirects are automatically created, and the action gets recorded in the [[special:logs/move|move log]]. But even if you tried to cut and paste something into an article with a title that has lowercase first letter, MediaWiki will automatically capitalize it. Oh well! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 06:31, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

== Image Upload ==

I reuploaded the image of [[:Image:Sylar_grabs_Angela.jpg|Sylar grabbing Angela]]. This was my first time dealing with uploading pictures and the like. Just wanted to know if I did alright. I swear I have a worry complex. [[User:Dracomaster4|Dracomaster4]] 10:27, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
* Looks good! Typically we make most of our uploads [[help:standard size|450 x 350]], but that's not crucial. It just makes the [[Angela's dreams#Gallery|gallery]] look better. Also, it might need to have the levels adjusted, but that's a little more advanced--if you can do it, great. If not, no worries. Finally, don't forget to edit the image's page and remove the <tt><nowiki>{{reupload}}</nowiki></tt> tag. Other than that, great job! And worrying to the point of making sure something is done right is a good thing...but don't get a complex about it. You're doing fine! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:44, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

== Family Trees ==

* I found a free program that builds family trees. I've used it for other projects and I believe it would work for Heroes. It supports marriage, adoption, and other misc. family relations. I could try and make a test tree and see if I can add links to the corresponding pages. However, as the current formats work great, I can see if you'd rather not change things. Here's a link [http://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder MyHeritage Family Tree Builder]. [[User:Dracomaster4|Dracomaster4]] 03:15, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
** I don't think we have anything that's so complex and complicated that we can't build it ourselves, but if there's an extension that makes it easier, it might be worth trying out. However, I don't have the capabilities to add extensions--you'd have to talk to [[User:Admin|Admin]] about that... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 07:28, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
*** It's a standalone program not a MediaWiki extension. I don't think it would be too helpful for us since the format it outputs in isn't really anything we can use here. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 09:31, 9 October 2008 (EDT))
**** Oh, yeah, I actually have a very similar program I use for tracking my own family history. It's called PAF (Personal Ancestry File), and it creates GEDCOM files, which is really cool for family trees and the like. But no, it wouldn't work here. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:10, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
*****This program creates Jpg formats of the trees, which can definately be put on here. [[User:Dracomaster4|Dracomaster4]] 06:52, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

== Super strength vs. Enhanced strength ==

Knox and Niki do not have the same power. They're similar but different. While Niki has super strength, Knox has enhanced strength because his strength is enhanced by the amount of fear in his surroundings. He gets stronger and stronger as the fear gets more intense and weaker when there is none.

So the article depicting the strength of Niki and Peter and possibly Mohinder are superhuman but Knox has an entirely different type of strength.
* Agree to disagree. :) I think they are the same power, just accessed differently. If Knox's assignment tracker listed his power as something other than [[enhanced strength]], I might be inclined to feel differently. As it is, I use what information I learn from the show rather than trying to insert my own opinions. Oh well! Either way, discussion points about this should be posted at [[Talk:Enhanced strength]]. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:25, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

== Editing Minor Characters ==
Hey Ryan, i wanna do some contributing for the minor character section. The only problem is that i don't know how to add characters to it. Maybe you can help me out. Thanks in advance --[[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 10:03, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
* Sure! Where exactly do you want to edit? If you want to edit the portals (like [[Portal:Minor1]]), you can't because they are automatically updating portals. Once the characters are added, they are entered into the portal. However, feel free to add pages for those characters, like [[Holly]], [[Lieutenant Chory]], or [[Angela's aide]]. Is that what you wanted? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:08, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
**Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking about adding "Bob Bishop" and "Kaito Nakamura" because they had a small role in the season. I'm also looking trough new episodes for characters that aren't added yet. But my question was, how do i add someone like Bob, Holly or another person to the [[Portal:Minor1|Minor 1 portal]]. Thanks! --[[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 11:11, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
*** Bob and Kaito are already in the minor characters portal. (You might have to refresh your browser by pushing CTRL+F5, or by editing the article, not making any changes, and then pressing "save page".) To add Holly to the portal, she needs an article written about her. Something great you can do is make sure that anybody who appears in multiple seasons has multiple categories for each season. For instance, if I'm not mistaken, Kaito really should be in [[:Category:Season One Characters]], [[:Category:Season Two Characters]], and [[:Category:Season Three Characters]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:17, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
**** Ok, i made a start on the Holly page, what should i do next to make her appear on the [[Portal:Minor1]] page? --[[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 11:44, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
***** Refresh. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:59, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
****** Did you just do that? Or is my browser really annyoing today?? --[[User:Futurepeter|Futurepeter]] 12:02, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
******* I did it on my computer, and if that made it appear on yours, I suppose that's all that's needed. Cool. No, your browser is probably not being annoying--that particular automated template sometimes takes a little longer to update than others. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:08, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

*** Oh, oh, oh... No, that's a note to myself to create a category for people who play more than one character. Ali Larter certainly does because the triplets are definitely more than one person. The other actors listed there do to (like [[Milos Milicevic]] and [[Darryl Chan]]). I'm still on the fence about all the actors who portrayed Candice, like [[Hayden Panettiere]] or [[Tawny Cypress]]....But thanks for looking out for me and trying to decipher my to do list notes!

== Michael's ability ==

Hey Ryan. I was wondering can i have permission to create a page on Michael's ability? Michael was one of the agents in Graphics Novel: Doyle who displayed an ability. Obviously people will edit information if it's incorrect but am i allowed to do so?

Regards, Nicholas. --[[User:ACDC1989|ACDC1989]] 06:43, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
* You don't need permission to edit an article or to begin an article. Feel free! :) But you do need to be aware that people will edit it, and you do seem aware of that. And might I add, when it comes to articles about abilities, people will edit them mercilessly! A word of caution about the name--it should be based as much as possible on what we learned in the graphic novel, and nothing else. So for instance, Doyle says something about "lasers", so the power name should probably have the word "laser" in it. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 06:45, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

== Mohinder's teeth ==

You beat me to the punch in adding the trivia about Mohinder's lack of cavities and great alignment :P --[[User:Aburu|Aburu]] 21:48, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
* It's true though! As my wife says, [[Olga Sosnovska]] is one lucky woman! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:52, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
** True, true. I have to say, my favorite detail in the dental record is the enthusiastic exclamation point in "No Cavities'''!'''"
*** Personally, I like that he is missing a digit in his Social Security number. Perhaps [[Tracy]] [[:Image:Screenshot-8.png|took it]]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:00, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
**** Most likely. Maybe people with synthetic abilities get special Social Security numbers? On a side note, has Micah's laptop always used Windows Vista? --[[User:Aburu|Aburu]] 22:04, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
***** Dunno! I think the only other shot we have of [[Micah's computer]] operating (and not being operated on) is [[:Image:MicahSanders500.JPG|this one]] from [[Jason Badower]]...and I helped him with the research for it. He asked me what operating system Micah used, and I told him the same thing, that I don't think it's ever been shown. So I guess Jason got to make that decision... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:07, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
****** I guess that despite emotional trauma and moving across the country, Micah still managed to upgrade his OS. On a side note: Woo, I found my first plothole! --[[User:Aburu|Aburu]] 22:11, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

== Question About GN Details ==

Hey Ryan - Sorry to bother you with this and I assume this is listed some where on the site, but could not find it. How are details from the GN such as the recent one titled Doyle treated?? Spoilers/Canon or neither?? I know the site has a full recap but I have a little breakdown on my site as well. So I was wondering how you guys view it so I know how to post elsewhere here or on the net in general. I try to keep a uniform standard where I post. Sooo spoiler OR canon. I assume if it has NOT aired on NBC it is a spoiler. [[User:The ODI|The ODI]] 22:22, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
* They're considered near-canon. Definitely not spoilers. In fact, we create articles for [[graphic novel characters]], and we put the history right on the [[Eric Doyle|character's pages]]. See [[help:sources]] for more information. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:25, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
** Ahhh "Near-Canon" that is a new one for me, but it applies well! I knew this info was on the site, I should have looked at the help section Duh. Thanks for the 411 [[User:The ODI|The ODI]] 06:00, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

== Volume 4 and Pcast Test ==

Just wondering if you guys will be creating a Vol. 4 page anytime soon? Also is the title of Volume 4 considered a spoiler?? Reason why I am asking is production on Vol 3 I believe is close to done and we are getting new information about Volume 4 at least spoiler wise. Of course the spoilers will still go on the general spoilers page, but wanted to ask and give a heads up just in case. Also, not sure if you got my last email or not, but let me know when you want to test, maybe tomorrow or Sat?? I know you are busy so no major rush. [[User:The ODI|The ODI]] 15:27, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
* [[Volume Four]] is listed on the [[Season Three]] page. I don't consider the title a spoiler--it's been made very public, and it doesn't give away any plot details. Yeah, spoilers for that volume would still go on [[Spoiler:Heroes]]. I haven't checked email in a few days...sorry, I'm really bad at keeping up with it. Friday evening sounds good. I think you said you get home around 6:30 PST, right? Let's plan on 7:00 pm your time, 10:00 pm my time. Let me know what I need to do in preparation. Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:16, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

== Level 5 escapees ==

* It was confirmed in an [http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18343 interview] that all prisoners escaped from Level 5. I thought this was the only reason we listed Echo as having escaped, so shouldn't it apply to Howard as well?

“What happened to Maury Parkman? Angela's dream (filmed during the second season) features 'The Nightmare Man' amongst other villains, but in episode #3, Maury is nowhere to be found! Will he be returning?”

We could tell you, but than we’d have to trap you in a dream. Maury was in level five. '''Now everyone is out.''' Stay tuned, true believer. We haven’t dreamed the last of him.

[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 16:14, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
* Yep, I guess so! It's probably best to include Howard's name in the notes along with Maury and Echo, then, eh? Just so we record our reasoning... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:29, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
** Agreed. I'll put that in now. :) [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 16:32, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
*** The reason I hadn't originally done the same with Howard as I did with Echo was because we don't know if he was still in Level Five. We saw him captured maybe eight years ago and I wasn't sure if he was there anymore. [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 16:47, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
**** If we're not sure he was there at the time of the escape, then he shouldn't be on the page at all. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:53, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
**** I meant I didn't put him as escaped on the main Level Five page. He was added on the Level Five escapees page by Stevehim. [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 16:56, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
***** Right, I know what you meant. We know he was on [[Level 5]], so he should definitely be included on that page. But if we're not sure he was still on Level 5 when Elle shorted out the electricity and when all the prisoners escaped, well then he shouldn't be included on [[Level 5 escapees]] at all. Perhaps a note, but that's it. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:00, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
****** Thanks. :) [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 17:03, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
***** We can't really assume he was moved though, can we? His last known location was Level 5, so unless we get some other information about him, I think we should classify him as still being there (or now escaped). However, if anyone feels particularly strongly about removing him from the escapees page, I wouldn't really oppose it, since we'll likely be finding out exactly who escpaed in the next month or two. :) [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 17:39, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
****** I don't really care whether he's on the page or not. I care that it's consistent and that we record our thinking, meaning we reference our sources. If we aren't sure he was in Level 5 still, he shouldn't be on the page at all. If we are sure he was there, then he should be on the page, but he should also be listed in the Notes, linked to the BTE article. It looks like that's the case now (though the note could use some more explaining and less jumping to conclusions). This should probably be discussed on [[talk:Level 5 escapees]], though. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:46, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
Nor I, I was just saying why I hadn't classified him as escaped. [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 17:50, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

== Julien's Cell ==
Sabine holds Julien up while walking through Level Five and the clones' cell, at least, is across from Noah's. [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 13:41, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
* Ah, yes, you're correct. So Julien would be a visitor to L5, but he wasn't an occupant. Also, his cell shouldn't be on the page. Thanks for catching my oversight! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:45, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
** So we're saying he was on a different floor, but his rogue clones were on L5, right? [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 13:52, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
*** Pretty much, but with a slightly different twist--we're saying we don't know what floor his cell was on, but his clones were definitely on L5. And as you deftly pointed out, he did walk across (or was dragged through) L5, so he would be a visitor there. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:00, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
****Sabine walked passed Bennet's cell on Level 5 to get to Julien's cell with the heavy door.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 14:01, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
***** Right, but did she go up a level? And does Level 5 refer to the floor number, or the security level? Since we don't know either of these answers, we're not going to assume that Julien's cell was actually on Level 5. Whatever the case, it's definitely a different designation than all the other cells on Level 5. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:03, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

== Hi...regarding Petrelli family picture ==

* I posted this on Bob's page (since he was online and making the corrections regarding us not knowing if Arthur is Sylar's father), and he suggested I send it on to you, since it's normally within your purview. On the [[Petrelli (disambig)|Petrelli's family tree pic]] it has Sylar as Arthur's son, but I don't know how to (or even if I can) edit it. Thanks. [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 17:41, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
** I have mixed feelings about this. A promo on NBC noted that Arthur was the father of all three (see [[Talk:Arthur Petrelli#NBC Promo]]). Is this a spoiler or no? I guess it all depends on your view. I don't think we should be "announcing" it, but I also am not keen on changing [[Template:Petrelli Tree]] because it requires manually changing the image, reuploading it, and then doing some changes to the code in the template...all of which will probably be reverted on Monday. Bottom line, I'm choosing to take the NBC promo as enough evidence to ''not'' change the template. I'm also turning a blind eye to changes made to infoboxes etc. :) I don't care what happens there, if you're asking my opinion. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:25, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
*** That's fine by me too, as I think there's a pretty good chance we'll be changing it all back soon enough anyway. I just wanted to try and keep things consistent throughout, but it's not remotely worth going to a lot of trouble just to have the pic match the other stuff, only to revert it back in 2 days time. :) I actually did want to get your opinion on the exposed future page too (I know this isn't the place to discuss it, so I'll check that talk page for a possible response instead). It's all been combined under one 'About' heading...did you have specific ideas on where to go from there (if anywhere), in terms of designating things as specific rifts or different futures or anything? [[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 23:02, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
**** Oy, the future page! Yeah, I'll take a look at it later. I'm at my parents' house tonight, and I'm just casually editing. I'd like some time to sit down and really go over the page, and tonight's not the night for that, sorry. Remind me tomorrow. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 23:10, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I was trying to delete the other versions, but i dont know how...
can you do it for me pls...tnx

* Yeah, only an administrator can delete pages and files from the wiki. Two things you can do are upload a new version ''over'' the old version (there's a link for that a little way down below the picture), or mark it with {{[[template:afd|afd]]}}.

* Keith, I'm not an expert on ''Heroes'' either. I didn't just choose your name out of a hat--I took a lot of time to review [[Special:Contributions/Pinkkeith|your contributions]] and I think you have a pretty good working knowledge of the style we expect on our site, a good understanding of grammar, and in my opinion I think you'll do just fine. A word of caution (and this really goes for all patrollers): if there's something you're not sure of (whether it's a ''Heroes'' specific question, a grammar question, or a layout/Heroes Wiki question), either ask it, or don't patrol the edit. If you make a mistake and patrol the edit, just find somebody you think might be more qualified to go back and recheck what you accidentally patrolled. You'll do fine--we all start somewhere, and I trust where you're starting. Good luck and welcome aboard! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:11, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
*I know that you're not ment to say this, but I thought I would of been made a Patroller... I would prefure to speak up now and not become one at all then stay quiet--[[User:Skywalkerrbf|Skywalkerrbf]] 14:12, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
** Ryan will probably answer this, too, however one very important skill for a patroller is recognizing incorrect spelling. I know you have some problems with spelling (which have improved a lot now that you're using a spell checker, nicely done!) so being a patroller isn't, in my opinion, the best thing to do. There are no perks to being a patroller, it only allows us to assign out the patrolling feature to non-admins since there are a ton of edits and we can't keep up with them. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:49, 20 October 2008 (EDT))
*** That's exactly right, Admin. A patroller should have some good knowledge in three areas: the world of ''Heroes'', the way we do things at Heroes Wiki, and the English language. (It also helps to have good people skills since there are times that a patroller needs to talk to new users and gently instruct them without [[Wikipedia:WP:BITE|biting off their heads]]. A patroller should be diplomatic.) I don't mean this to be rude by any means, Skywalkerrbf, I mean this as a way of instructing and helping. Your spelling and grammar has gotten a lot better, but it is still not up to par. For instance, even in your message above, I see five mistakes. It should read "I know that you're not me'''a'''nt to say this, but I thought I would '''have''' been made a Patroller... I would pref'''er''' to speak up now and not become one at all th'''a'''n stay quiet'''.'''" It's not that you won't ever become a patroller--I'm a teacher and I see people grow and change every day in ways that are unbelievable. It would be naive and myopic of me to believe that just because somebody is not the best speller or doesn't have the best grammar that they can never get better. It would be vindictive of me to forever forbid somebody from being a patroller simply because they asked why they're not one. On the contrary--I appreciate your concern and your question, I just think you've got a little ways to go before you're ready. My suggestion is to read some of the help pages, and ask questions. The help pages have great advice and lay things out very nicely--especially [[Help:Style]]. Then, ask people that you think use good grammar why some things are the way they are, why certain changes are made, and what's wrong with things we revert. I hope that helps a bit. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:26, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

== Re: Images ==
{{blurb}}== Images ==

Thanks for uploading so many images! A few notes so that we're all able to find the images easier...You'll want to categorize all your images. You can do this by manually adding the categories, or by using shortcut variables in the [[template:image-screenshot|fair use template]]. <nowiki>You can either put [[Category:Images from Dying of the Light]] or you can put {{image-screenshot|Dying of the Light=t}} in the fair use template. Even shorter, just do {{image-screenshot|306=t}}.</nowiki> The other think I'll mention is that you should basically be looking at three categories: one for the source (the episode), one for the type of image (like [[:Category:Powers Images|Powers Images]], [[:Category:Location Images|Location Images]], or [[:Category:Items Images|Items Images]], to name a few), and one for any characters who might appear in the image (like [[:Category:Images of Claire Bennet|Images of Claire Bennet]] or [[:Category:Images of Peter Petrelli|Images of Peter Petrelli]]). All those categories can be added manually or by using shortcut variables, as described above. As well, some images will have multiple categories (like if it shows Peter and Claire together, or if it is a power image that clearly shows the location, too). A few images will not have anything but the episode category.<p>I know it's a lot to digest. Just do your best to get the categories on the pages. Also, anything that has a watermark should be marked with <nowiki>{{reupload|watermark=t}}</nowiki>. Anything that needs to be [[help:standard size|standard size]] should also be marked for reuploading....Let me know if you need any help or any more explanations.

**** [[Jason Badower]] and I have gotten to know each other over the past year or two. We hung out in New York awhile back, and sometimes Jason asks me for help with references on his graphic novels. He also helped me out with a project earlier this year. I suppose he is generous enough to devote a little space in his work for a shout-out. It's not added to look famous, I hardly think anything like that. It's written in the trivia so people will know why there are initials on the towels and whatnot. We're pretty good about recording any kind of Easter Eggs like that.

== Peter's IA ==

Hi. I actually just noticed something else about a question that you'd answered for me, and, while I was going to pose it on the [[Talk:Peter_Petrelli|page]] where it was addressed, it seems to fit in with a bunch of other pages as well, including the current discussion of how much to use from the assignment trackers. On Gabriel Gray's AT 2.0, it lists 'persons exhibiting similar abilities' as [[Peter]], and this information was present prior to [[I Am Become Death]] being aired. As such, would that be sufficient evidence to say Peter absorbed it in [[Homecoming]]? I know it might not be, since it says 'exhibited,' which would indicate he's used it, and is thus source-trumped by the information in the actual episode (bringing into question it's overall validity). I was just wondering if that sort of thing is enough evidence to make a declarative statement (both in this case, and in general). Thanks, and sorry to bother you with this again. --[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 19:39, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
* No bother at all. It says "similar abilities". [[Empathic mimicry]] and [[intuitive aptitude]] are similar abilities in that they both help the user gain more abilities. That's how I've always read it. I don't think it was meant as an announcement that Peter absorbed Sylar's ability. Did you read the latest [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18544 Behind the Eclipse]? [[Adam Armus]] and [[Kay Foster]] talk about this a little bit:
{{message|"'''Why was Peter required to be physically taught Sylar's power rather than just absorb it as he has done all other powers previously?'''"

Very good question Ben. In actuality, Peter probably had already absorbed Sylar's power -- but he had no idea how to access the ability or how to use that -- much like when he went through the training with Claude. However, when we put that in the script some people, people who have a big say in the show, said that was confusing and the audience wouldn't understand. I think they underestimate just how brilliant our audience is. But -- they write the checks, so...."}}
* I think that's about the most definitive answer we're going to get on when Peter absorbed Sylar's ability. He probably already did, but he didn't know how to use it. But it was written a little differently to be more explicit that Peter was getting the power then...which really only confused the issue even more, eh? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:13, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
** Gotcha, and thanks again. I did initially interpret it that way too, now that I think about it, but my mind often takes on sieve-like properties, and I was so caught up in trying to standardize the pages that I didn't even think about the Empathic mimicry being referenced. D'oh! --[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 00:20, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

== User talk pages ==

Hi RGS, I just had a question about the policy here on removing content from user talk pages... it isn't allowed, right? Unless the user has been blocked? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. <small>'''Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ [[User:Thrashmeister|U]] | [[User_talk:Thrashmeister|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Thrashmeister|C]] ]'''</small> 19:06, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
* I don't think we have a policy one way or another. It would be wrong of you or me to remove content from any member's talk page, of course. As for a member removing content from his own talk page? Dunno... I'm not really against it--it's their talk page, after all. But I see the issue with removing a record of disciplinary action, warnings, etc. On the other hand, if I were somebody who "turned a leaf" after being a jerk on the site, I wouldn't want all that negative stuff on my talk page still. Plus, all that information is stored in the history if it needs to be accessed. In short, I feel kind of neutral about it. Now, [[User:Admin|Admin]] might have a different story.... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:14, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
** Okay... I was just wondering because I've just recently noticed that the user Snow Leapord continuously removes all content from [[User talk:Snow Leapord|his talk page]]... even repeated warnings from admins. I also understand he was blocked recently, but he sure doesn't seem like he's turning over a new leaf. He even called Admin a pansy in one of his revert summaries. <small>'''Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ [[User:Thrashmeister|U]] | [[User_talk:Thrashmeister|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Thrashmeister|C]] ]'''</small> 19:21, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
*** Right, I see what you're referring to now. He's on Admin's radar, and that's really what's important at this point. I don't want to speak for Admin, but I don't think he's intimidated or even offended by name-calling, and I don't think he would block somebody just for that reason. Heck, I've been called a lot worse, and it really doesn't affect me. But if the issue is a record of warnings and such, I would personally leave the situation alone, let SL do what he would like, and let Admin take care of it. That way you won't be targeted in any way, and you won't egg him on inadvertently. If Admin wants to restore his warnings, he can. But thank you for bringing it to my attention and asking my about the policies. As in previous situations, it's good to know that you're looking out for the well-being of the site and its users. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:26, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
**** Cool! I just wanted clarification on those policies. And you're welcome again! :) <small>'''Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ [[User:Thrashmeister|U]] | [[User_talk:Thrashmeister|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Thrashmeister|C]] ]'''</small> 19:30, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
* It's sort of an unofficial policy that we don't delete content from user talk pages, we only archive it after it's old. Deleting the talk page to try to hide warnings is deceptive and not usually tolerated. Usually I'd revert the blanking and require the talk page be left, however with Snow I'm being more selective in which behavior I try to correct at this time. :) I'm more concerned with the behavior that negatively affects the main site than I am about his user page. Ryan's right: I don't care what names people call me. It doesn't really affect my decisions, although doing such a thing doesn't put you in someone's good graces. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 19:48, 28 October 2008 (EDT))

== Ability Immunity ==

I don't know how to go about creating a page, but I thought it might be good to create a page showing and explaining the process of immunity from one's own ability, or lack of. And helpful and hurtful side effects of abilities. Such as how [[Meredith]] is immune to fire and heated air. [[Elle]] isn't hurt by her electricity, unless it backfires. Michael was not immune to his lasers, even Doyle said "are you one of those people who are immune to their own ability?". I came up with the idea while browsing pages like ability theft and heredity. [[User:Dracomaster4|Dracomaster4]] 01:15, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
* Somebody's [[Ability_immunity|Way ahead of you]] there! :) --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 02:01, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
* Actually, Michael ''is'' hurt by his lasers--they killed him...but you're right, that's a cool idea for a page. [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] called it the "rule of Ted" (see [http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18343 this interview]). We have an article called [[ability immunity]], as SacValleyDweller pointed out. Feel free to read it and add to it, if necessary. I think it's pretty complete, but if there's something missing, go for it!...Your other question was about how to create a page. Simply click on a red link. If a [[special:wantedpages|red link]] doesn't exist for the article you want to create, you can create a red link. The easiest way to do this is to type into the search box the phrase or title you want to call the article. Press "go". Then you should get the search screen (assuming the article doesn't already exist), and there should be a red link at the very top. Click it, and let the creative juices start flowing! :) Let me know if you need any more help with anything... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 07:00, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

== Template doubt ==

I was looking through some of the templates and I came across the character templates for the previous seasons, and I found something there that was a head scratcher. When a character dies (permanently I mean), we put the name in the template in italics. Are the italics supposed to show the character status during that specific season or according to the most recent? For example, Niki was alive during season one, but she died in the end of season two, do we list her as alive in the season one template and as dead in the season two template, or do we just show her as deceased in both? Same thing for any other character that appears in more than one character template. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] 09:44, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
* They're season-specific. Niki should be listed as alive in the season one templates. I don't think we've ever discussed what to do when somebody dies right at the end of the season but in a cliffhanger...sort of like they died between seasons. I would say that they should be considered dead for the season they died in. In other words, Niki died in the final moments of the second season, so her name should be italicized and her picture faded on all the season two places. That way, in case the person doesn't return, we've recorded that they've died in the portals and in the navbars. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:46, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
On a smilar note, what should we do if a character's fate is unknown in the mean time between Eps, volumes and seasons? Bold the name?--{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 18:51, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
* If a character's fate is unknown, we normally don't list them in italics or bold. The only exception is when they are presumed dead, such as with the case of [[Stephen Canfield]].--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 19:08, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
** Well, I know that that's current policy. Would there be anything wrong with noting characters where their fate is unknown? --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 19:34, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
*** That would basically be saying whether they are alive or dead is in limbo, which would probably never be more than few cases at any one time. Also, it could invite speculation (something we don't want). Those are my thoughts, and I'll let Ryan add his two cents now. :)--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 19:47, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
**** Distinguishing characters whose fates are unknown breaks [[help:perspective|perspective]]. Their fates are only not known to the audience because of story-telling devices. I don't see any reason to draw attention to people whose fates are not known. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:11, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

== Category ==

Taking in consideration there is a category for evolved humans with synthetic abilities, should we consider making a category for evolved humans who had their abilities removed?

The Haitian, the ability negation pills and the Shanti virus all suppress abilities, but they don't effectively remove them, the Haitian was able to use his power after being cured, but I think that there are special cases, most notable Sylar, who after being cured still retained his original ability, but lost all but one of his acquired abilities. The category would work for all characters who were powerless for a while, even so even if Peter or Maya got their powers back they'd still fit the category, but then we'd need an "abilities restored" category too. Peter, Maya, Sylar and Adam are the only ones who fit the category right now, maybe we should wait until there are more characters?

*** Waiting is probably a prudent idea. I don't mind the category, but it would have to be clearly defined. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:25, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Spam

Hi Ryan, please do something, there's a lot of spammers and I can't block them on the wiki. Thank you --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 16:42, 6 January 2016 (EST)

You still missed quite "a few".

This page shows all new pages created, including the spam, so you just need to keep deleting them until you see there aren't any except regular non-spam pages. Sandubadear (talk) 20:39, 6 January 2016 (EST)

And this page shows all newly created accounts, you can see which of those new accounts are the spammers and then block them all. Sandubadear (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2016 (EST)
Yep, I know. I had to go run an errand. I see the list, though. Thanks! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:02, 6 January 2016 (EST)
773 deletions later ... what a waste of an evening. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:45, 6 January 2016 (EST)
Yeah, I was here when they started and I couldn't do anything to prevent it. They were to fast (5 creations per minute). --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 00:07, 7 January 2016 (EST)
Ugh. Thanks for messaging me. That's the only reason I saw it! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:09, 7 January 2016 (EST)
Here we go again, they restart!!!! --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 01:06, 7 January 2016 (EST)

Re-spam

Hi Ryan,
It seems the spammers start again. Sorry to wake you up. I tried to write to Admin by email. I know this is the sleeping time for you. Admin should install the Nuke extension to faster the deletion of spammers' pages. Thanks --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 01:24, 7 January 2016 (EST)

I couldn't do anything, they use your sleeping time to spam up! :-( --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 06:45, 7 January 2016 (EST)
I took care of it and temporarily disabled new user creation since we're in a slow period between episodes anyway. (Admin (talk) 06:48, 7 January 2016 (EST))
There may also be some residual by some of the spam accounts that were already created and not yet blocked, but if the account spams they'll be blocked. (Admin (talk) 06:57, 7 January 2016 (EST))
Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:06, 7 January 2016 (EST)
Ryan, there is one survivor. I cannot shoot him as I don't have admin rights on the English wiki. Thank you. --LIMAFOX76 (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2016 (EST)
Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 16:06, 7 January 2016 (EST)

Refrences

I wanted to cite my source for edits I made to Gemini Formula but the refrences formating is not working at all. I have no clue how to fix it. --Snow Leapord (talk) 06:15, 28 January 2016 (EST)

  • We don't use a template for references like Wikipedia. We just put the source afterwards. So it would just be something like this. (Heroes Reborn: Enigma) ... Where exactly are you trying to put the source? I'll take care of it if you have a hard time with it... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 06:24, 28 January 2016 (EST)
    • I took care of it. I didn't think it looked right to leave the reference normal font size, so I shrunk it. --Snow Leapord (talk) 08:07, 28 January 2016 (EST)

Differences in Gemini & Enigma

I noticed in Enigma when Dahlia & 2014 Cassie interact that Cassie isn't wearing the Renautas smart glasses. Also in Enigma during the last meeting between Dahlia & 2014 Cassie, Dahlia doesn't have ask Cassie to do anything about the lasers or the platform she can't jump to because it is to high.

Should we mention the differences at all? If so where? --Snow Leapord (talk) 08:06, 28 January 2016 (EST)

  • I noticed those same things. We usually mention continuity errors in the Notes section of the page. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:26, 28 January 2016 (EST)

Re: New Season

The article you linked in Template:News at http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/heroes-reborn-season-one-ratings-38153/ just shows the ratings now and not that the current season will not be renewed. Am I missing something? Did the article change?--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:10, 1 February 2016 (EST)

BananaClownMan

Can you talk with this guy? He does not listen, and edits everything with his wrong info. Look at these links [[1]] he made a change, admin corrected it, and today he made the same change again [[2]] Sekobro 14:52, 11 February 2016‎

Delete photo

Hey I wanted ask you maybe you can delete this photo File:Adamhiro.jpg. It is very old photo. Adamhiro 15:06, 18 February 2016‎

Damen Peak

Hey, so we have been terrible at keeping the website up to date! lol, but I just made the 3 parts for the Damen Peak webisodes. If you could help me out some by uploading photos and summaries, that would be great. Right now, the portal has the standard picture for all 3 of them....so that's a problem... ~~IHH—Talk 18:20, 18 February 2016 (EST)

  • Sure. That will have to wait until this weekend or later though. I don't have my computer with me that can easily edit images. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:22, 18 February 2016 (EST)
    • Awesome! I don't know who wrote and directed the first and last ones (I took the names from the second and put them on all three)...With this, we don't have actors for Jim and Lilly...We need episode pictures and title pictures as well as image-nav things...Do the ability pages need updating?...Do I need to attach URLs to the videos on NBC website?....I updated the checklist. So only the things listed on DP, Part 2 that aren't checked are what we still need to do. ~~IHH—Talk 09:57, 19 February 2016 (EST)
      • Whole thing was written and directed by the same people. No known actors for Jim or Lilly unfortunately. I've done some digging and can't figure it out. (A lot of the crew that I'm in contact with didn't even know that these web exclusives even existed...) I'll work on episode pictures this weekend. I think the ability page for persuasion has already been updated, but we could use some more images. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:40, 19 February 2016 (EST)

Vengeance

Hey, just wondering about the Issues portal. Who were the Vengeances centered around? We have it as "El Vengador" who technically isn't a person....Is there someone else that we can put on that? ~~IHH—Talk 16:41, 26 February 2016 (EST)

  • I think keeping it as El Vengador is fine, since it was about both Oscar and his grandfather, as well as the idea of being El Vengador. It reminds me of the Evs Dropper comics in that way, in that Evs wasn't a single person either. But to answer your question, the comics are all told from Oscar's perspective. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:32, 26 February 2016 (EST)

Episode Pages

Hey, so there is a lot still to do here for Heroes Reborn and I was wondering if you, me, and maybe some others would like to devote the next couple of weeks to getting it all up to speed. So I'm suggesting this week we really go hard on getting the episode pages done. Summaries, Plots, MQs, etc. You think we can encourage others to help us?

MQ on 501, Synopsis on 506, MQ on 507, Synopsis and MQ on 508, Summary Synopsis and MQ on 509, Synopsis and MQ on 510, Story Dev and Synopsis on 511, Synopsis and Title Card on 512, Synopsis and Title Card on 513. As well, images from the episodes in the Synopsis' on all episodes.

~~IHH—Talk 15:47, 29 February 2016 (EST)

  • Totally agree. Sounds like a plan. I am pretty busy intermittently in the next few weeks with work and other commitments. But I help out wherever I can when I get a chance. I know you have a hard time doing pictures, so if there are any images you need, just drop a note on my page I'd be glad to get them for you when I get a chance. FYI, title cards for 512 and 513 don't exist. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:38, 29 February 2016 (EST)

Season Summary

Hey, I realize this is kind of forward looking, but I was updating the Season History templates in case we get another installment and need to do a Reborn portion. I am having difficulties with three things: 1) When I type "Noah Bennet/Heroes Reborn" it does not take me to the button that says "New season summary page" 2) If I were to put it on the original page as {{season summary|season=Reborn}}, then the link appears as [[Noah Bennet/Season Reborn|Noah Bennet: Season Reborn History]] 3) On the top of the Season archive footer template, it will normally link to the previous season history if their is one and I can't seem to work it with the Reborn part Can you help me with these couple things? Thanks, ~~IHH—Talk 15:50, 10 March 2016 (EST)

  • The "new season summary page" is set up to appear when the title "/Season" appears in the subpagename. I can make a workaround for the few individual pages. I don't think we need to do any major structural changes since this really only affects Noah and maybe a handful of other characters. If there's another iteration of Heroes, then we can cross that bridge later. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:44, 10 March 2016 (EST)
    • Actually, I think the biggest issue is that there was a misspelling on the archive page. It said "Rebron" instead of Reborn" so I don't think it was pulling the info correctly... Also, on Noah's main page, I didn't use the template, I just wrote the info, which works... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:13, 11 March 2016 (EST)
      • Oh, okay. I wasn't meaning that we do it now. It was mainly just to smooth the bridges later incase we needed to. It shows the category at the bottom of Noah Bennet/Heroes Reborn Category:Season Reborn Histories. I have tried to work around it, but I don't quite understand the if exist or page name templates and how I can utilize that to work. ~~IHH—Talk 07:48, 11 March 2016 (EST)
        • The "if exist" command just means that if the page exists on the wiki, do whatever it says to do. So something like {{#ifexist: Peter Petrelli | [[Peter Petrelli]] | Peter Petrelli }} means that if there is a page called "Peter Petrelli" on the wiki, link it. If not, don't link it. That command would show up as Peter Petrelli. Something like {{#ifexist: Foo | [[Foo]] | Foo }} would show up as just Foo. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:05, 11 March 2016 (EST)
        • I fixed the category issue. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:23, 11 March 2016 (EST)
      • Is there a way for me to edit the MediaWiki:Newarticletext page to have the New Season Summary page button appear if it says Heroes Reborn? ~~IHH—Talk 08:22, 11 March 2016 (EST)

Making this Wiki Pretty Again

Hey,

So with Heroes Reborn ending, we have a lot of stubs out there and frankly most of the new articles are incomplete (including episode pages). Therefore, I am hoping to inspire you and others to do this challenge with me. On my userpage, I have gone to all of the stubbed pages and separated them out by episode. Therefore, we can rewatch an episode and pay extra attention to these things that have stubs. So, my challenge is to follow this schedule to get everything listed under each category done. Hopefully if we all work together and can narrow down where we can help, we can finish this soon.

Schedule:

After this, we have graphic novels, webisodes, ebooks, and ability pages to finish up. But this way, a lot of it can get done. If you can't help one week or something, that's okay! This is just to inspire you and others to team together to get this done, there aren't a lot of pages under each episode, so maybe we could bust it out in a week, but maybe not! What do you say, you in? ~~IHH—Talk 14:05, 15 March 2016 (EDT)

  • It's a great idea, and I love the amount of thought you put into this. I'll do my best to stay on schedule, but I can't promise anything. Spring is my super busy time of the year, getting ready for summer camp, wrapping up schoolwork, and getting my kids to all their sports activities. I'll try to stay with it, but I can't dedicate time now like I used to ... :( -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:49, 16 March 2016 (EDT)
    • Sounds great! Will you do me a favor and fill in Coach Lewis' ability section? I have never really been good at these because I don't really know what to put. This would get this page all caught up. Thanks ~~IHH—Talk 15:41, 21 March 2016 (EDT)

Godsend, Part 4

Hey, do you by chance have Godsend, Part 4? I noticed today that there wasn't a page for it yet, so I made one but I do not have a copy of it, so I cannot put any actual information on it. ~~IHH—Talk 18:45, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
