Repositioned Claude Rains Theories

I just went and reinvented the wheel and thought that there was no Claude Rains stuff on this page in spite of me remembering seeing some before the reformat. I entered an new theory about his name and built a new table in the Alphabetically correct spot for Claude, but noticed most stuff goes by last name even though it is not formatted by surname. Of course I don't notice it until I shift all the old stuff to the new location. I should have done it the other way around and I am having problems putting it back. Can someone try. Thanks. --WolvenSpectre 17:54, 5 February 2007 (EST)

• Taken care of. I also tricked the sections to display surname first, which should help prevent further confusion (though they're trickier to maintain ... hmmm, I need to add something to the help page about how to do it...)--Hardvice (talk) 18:05, 5 February 2007 (EST)
  • also could you also 'watch' all the Theory Pages that were made in the redesign for those of us users who were watching the Leviathan That was the old page? I don't know but I assume it would be easier for all you admins than each person rewatching the pages.--WolvenSpectre 18:26, 5 February 2007 (EST)
    • I don't really watch anything but my talk page and community pages, but I do patrol Recent Changes, as do a few of the other admins.--Hardvice (talk) 18:29, 5 February 2007 (EST)
      • sorry poor choice of words... I meant that everyone that had the original Theories Page on their watchlist for notifications. Could you put the new multiple theories pages on those users watchlists? At least easier than if they did it manually because if I wasn't looking for a particular reference in the theories pages, I wouldn't have known that the pages were redesigned and I wasn't getting notices. Then again I have been having trouble s with some of them anyway, but they seem to be getting fewer and farther between.--WolvenSpectre 18:42, 5 February 2007 (EST)
        • I don't think there's a way to make somebody watch a page (but it wouldn't hurt to ask Admin). That said, everybody who was watching Theories (hopefully) got an email when the page was changed (although since the emails are limited to one between visits, it's possible some folks missed it.)--Hardvice (talk) 18:50, 5 February 2007 (EST)
          • Odd... I didn't recieve mine. Then again like I have said before I don't log out.--WolvenSpectre 18:56, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Where are all the Issac Mendez Theories????

I went to update the entry on two Issac Mendez theories and all of them were gone. what happened??--WolvenSpectre 22:16, 5 February 2007 (EST)

• If they were about Isaac's paintings, they're located in Theories:Powers as they're more about his abilities than about him. - AlphaAnt 08:47, 6 February 2007 (EST)
• No there were also theories about the man, like the one I entered about the fact that he was working for the AWI/OWI. I edited one about him and Simone to correct some evidence. There was at least one other I entered myself. where did they go???--WolvenSpectre 11:50, 6 February 2007 (EST)
  • The AWI one was under AWI's gun, so it's on Theories:Items. The others must be under different articles as well. No theories have ever been linked from Isaac Mendez (you can tell because there's no "theories" section on his article).--Hardvice (talk) 13:22, 6 February 2007 (EST)
  • I know for a fact that I put it under a section for Issac and the one under AWI's Gun was what gave me the Idea to look stuff up to put it under his name. It was about three to four times as big as the one under the AWI Gun. It took up half of the space of all the entries. If it is not in your admin records (assuming there are such a thing) I don't know what to say. I didn't pay much to most of the other entries because they were speculating on the whole Issac/Simone/Peter thing. I even got into one of my spelling conflicts under his name. Unless Masi Oka got drunk and started messing with the timeline, I don't know what to say. Could somebody have deleted them thinking they were redundant? Whatever.

    It was just a little embarrassing to go brag about this article that I wrote that everyone I talked to said I was nuts and It was actually proven. Not to mention from all the stuff I dug up by rewatching most of the shows again it was BIG. Guess it teaches me right to put to much work into something like that. If I want to go that in depth again I'll just host the damn thing off-site and link.--WolvenSpectre 17:40, 6 February 2007 (EST)

  • Well you can always check the history and copy it back in from whatever old edition of the page had it.--E rowe 17:43, 6 February 2007 (EST)
    • do say what now how history? What history, how does one do that??--WolvenSpectre 17:48, 6 February 2007 (EST)
      • The History tab at the top of the article. Go to Theories ... it will redirect, but you can click where it says "Redirected from Theories". Then click history. Here's a direct link to the last 500 edits. I can't find anything. Maybe it never saved.--Hardvice (talk) 17:53, 6 February 2007 (EST)
      • You can also go to your contributions and click (diff) next to everything that says Theories.--Hardvice (talk) 17:56, 6 February 2007 (EST)
      • At the top of the page, you will see a History tab next to Edit, click it, then click the date (center left) and that will bring you back to how the article looked on that date. If you go to Theories, you will see that it is a Redirect. If you follow the redirect, then hit the History on that page, and you can see how the page looked just prior to when Hardvice made the swaps. At that point, there was no Isaac Mendez section, just an Isaac's paintings section. Presumably, all of those have been moved to the Theories:Items like he said, though I have not checked. --Orne 18:00, 6 February 2007 (EST) (Darn you edit conflict! I thought I had this first!)
