Standardizing your user page

Hi and welcome again. If you want to add an infobox to your userpage, you can go to Template:User infobox and copy the text there. Then, edit your userpage and paste the copied text there, customizing it as you wish. Hope that helps!--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:40, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

Thanks!--ERROR 18:46, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

How come the abilities I list myself to have don't appear on my infobox?--ERROR 16:08, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

• hope you don't mind, but I fixed it for you :) --IronyUTC CH 16:12, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

Thanks, but you didn't. Ask permission first! My stuff!--ERROR 16:29, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

• Where is this? On your userpage or on another page? --IronyUTC CH 16:31, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

My userpage.--ERROR 16:38, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

• • It does show your abilities, under the about bar. --IronyUTC CH 16:40, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

Does now. Thanks!--ERROR 17:31, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

Problem. I tried to get my infobox to say "known abilities" instead of "powers," but now my abilities don't show up at all. I changed it back, but is there any way I can make this work AND have my infobox say "known abilities," not "powers?" Please help!--ERROR 21:06, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

Assignment Trackers

I've started a few Assignment Trackers, and would like help finishing/editing them. I would also like suggestions for other Assignment Trackers.--ERROR 09:31, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

Abilities

I need suggestions for new fan abilities, as it says on my userpage. Suggestions, please!--ERROR 22:07, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Warning

Hi, ERROR. I have not been on the wiki at all today, so this is the first time I am coming across some issues that happened today, and I am seeing them all at the same time. I hope you can take what I say in a spirit of me helping and aiding (and warning), and not in a spirit of being critical or mean or anything like that. I have asked you previously to not edit the comments others make on talk pages as it is poor etiquette, and you have on occasion actually changed correct things to make them incorrect. Even after you promised to not do this anymore, you continued, and you continued to make mistakes here and there in your attempt to correct.

I understand that there was some kind of issue with you and Danko and moving a page in his namespace. Honestly, I'm not very concerned about that, and it's not an issue I want to get into at all, other than to say that I don't want to discuss it. It's your tone that I want to address and that I'm very concerned about. No matter how annoyed you are with somebody, it's just not nice to call them annoying, especially when it seems unprovoked (as far as I can tell). But provoked or not, it's not appreciated.

It's similar with the issue of changing links--it's not necessarily wrong to make pipe redirects to link directly to the pagename, but it's definitely not necessary. When I first started, I actually did the same thing, in an attempt to "clean" the site, or at least doing what I thought was correct. Again, that's not the issue--it's the way you handled yourself following the issue. When I was informed by an administrator that what I was doing was unnecessary, my reaction was something along the lines of, "Oh, thanks for letting me know!" Your reaction after being politely called out on the issue was to be very defensive and, frankly, quite rude.

Finally, removing discussions from talk pages, especially warnings like this, is highly frowned upon. I am going to ask you to please check your attitude, stop some of your rude behaviors, and watch your tone. I think you're a fine editor on the wiki, and I'd like you to stick around--I really don't want to have to take administrative action. Thank you for understanding. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:33, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

Alright, fine. I'll stop.

Just one question: What is so wrong with removing redirects, and instead making the links go right to the page? If it's unnecessary to do it, why are you making a whole paragraph on asking me not to do it? (I'm not trying to be rude here, if that's your interpretation; I'm just trying to understand. I don't see what's wrong with it. I'm just trying to help...)--ERROR 20:01, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

• I never said anything was wrong with it. It's just not necessary. One of the purpose of redirects is to make a naturally flowing article. It's also a lot easier to read when in editing mode. Using redirects also decreases the amount of bytes that need to be stored on the page. And if we were to for some reason standardize the entire site to use no redirects as links, not only would it take a long time to make that transition (and heaven forbid we ever move an article!), but all those unnecessary changes would need to be patrolled by our already hard-working and overtaxed patrollers. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:51, 11 June 2009 (EDT)
