Prima16

• Regarding your Theories edit, who's saying Prima16 is "Leet" for "Primate?" I have to admit, that's quite a stretch. If they were going for "Primate" in "Leet" then it would have been "Prima73." :) (Admin 22:36, 24 January 2007 (EST))
  • In "1337" the "7" can be the "L" and the "1" the "T" (not noticeable in Arial) so it could be correct, but "6" is rarely "e" -73^37 03:28, 25 January 2007 (EST)

Email vs E-Mail

• I saw your note on Level's talk page. If you're talking about renaming the article it would be better discussed on the talk page for The email. However "email", while perhaps more colloquial, is an acceptable way of spelling it now. (Admin 10:00, 27 January 2007 (EST))
• More importantly, nobody's against changing it on the Theories page because they're stubbornly against your version of the spelling. It keeps getting changed back because changing it breaks the links to and from the main article.--Hardvice (talk) 11:27, 29 January 2007 (EST)
  • This isn't about those email notification problems I am having.
    
    I did not know until earlier today, when Ryangibsonstewart told me, that I was breaking redirects by changing the capitalization of the sections title. I am not an experienced MediaWiki Contributor (my previous experience was correcting blatantly incorrect text in Wikipedia).
    
    The only reason is that a couple friends, who I was showing what I was contributing was pointing out that the uncapitalized entries were sticking out like a sore thumb when almost all of the entries are. They, not users of wikis directly, thought it looked sloppy, and I wouldn't go that far, but thought it an easy fix.<br.
    When I changed it and the whole discussion about which way the wiki winds would blow, no one brought up anything about changing redirects and breaking them. As for what the community wanted, every time I asked if it would be OK if I just capitalized the E, no matter what page I put it on, it wasn't answered, and half the time it was deleted without any email notice. From this I figured the only way to get a response one way or the other was just to do it.
    
    Well now I have my answer, but still I assume that there is a way to format the markup like an internal link. If so, I think that the community or you should decide on a default formatting for titles that also redirect. Even if that default formatting is none (leave it as it is). Whatever the decision is it should be remarked in the markup someway so other contributers/editors like me don't put both you, other members and them through this again. Not unless they miss the remarks though.
    
    But then again that is the opinion of one guy, what do you think? --WolvenSpectre 12:17, 29 January 2007 (EST)
    • Honestly, it's not a big deal. We could change it to 'The Email' if we want to—it kind of seems to violate our naming conventions, but I can go either way. My bigger concern was that since you are a new editor, you might be getting frustrated with people undoing the change, so I thought I'd pop in and offer an explanation of why it was being changed back. It's a bit unfortunate that MediaWiki is case-sensitive for internal links, and it's caused other problems before. (In general, you can always overcome the case-sensitivity by piping a different capitalization on a link, but the way the template for Theories has worked has proved very fiddly.) In any case, your contributions have all been excellent, and I for one am glad to have you here. MediaWiki's one of those things that's deceptively easy to learn ... I think we're all still figuring things out as we go, so don't worry too much about that. Don't hesitate to ask any questions as you're figuring stuff out; that's what we're here for. More importantly, don't get discouraged if an edit you make keeps getting changed or reverted, and don't hesitate to ask why (chances are there's a good, non-content-related reason).--Hardvice (talk) 12:27, 29 January 2007 (EST)

Incorrect email notifications

• Hey, WolvenSpectre. Would you be willing to forward that incorrect email notification you received to me at admin@heroeswiki.com? It would help me track down the problem you reported. Thanks! (Admin 11:44, 27 January 2007 (EST))
  • Just send them to the email address in my previous comment here. (Admin 09:42, 1 February 2007 (EST))
