Votepetrelli.com Texts

Is there any advantage to signing up for texts and emails for votepetrelli? I was wondering because the most recent (May 1) email from Primatech is asking the reader to sign up for texts. (Andrewzors 13:48, 1 May 2007 (EDT))

  • I'm not sure, actually. I'm not signed up for either one. :) (Admin 02:26, 2 May 2007 (EDT))

Admin

  • Hey, Bob. You interested in being an administrator here? (Admin 14:09, 3 May 2007 (EDT))
    • Sure, I can do that. Once finals are done on the 11th, I'll have the summer pretty much available. Thanks.--Bob 14:15, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
  • With my newly discovered powers, I'm seeing red exclamation points in the recent changes list. I should probably know what they mean, but I don't. --Ted C 15:28, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
    • The exclamation points indicate changes that have not yet been "patrolled". Patrolling is a step admins take to essentially "validate" all changes and confirm that they're proper edits. When you view a diff that's not been patrolled yet it will let you mark it as patrolled. If the change looks good go ahead and mark it patrolled. This lets admins check out recent changes and filter out patrolled edits (by clicking "Hide patrolled edits") so they can check the unpatrolled ones and make sure they look good. It's essentially just a way of knowing what changes have been seen by an admin already and which haven't. Since there are times when there are tons of edits somtimes we'll just check out the unpatrolled list and make sure they look good. This way we can check all the changes that other admins haven't already marked as legitimate. (Admin 15:32, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
      • I recall seeing a "patrolled" link once, but I'm not sure how I managed it, and I'm not seeing a way to mark edits patrolled. --Ted C 15:53, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
        • In Special:Recentchanges by each individual edit is a "diff" link. Find an unpatrolled one (with an exclamation point), click it and at the top right of the diff under the summary you'll see a link "Mark as patrolled". (Admin 15:58, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
          • Also, when you click on a new page (N), the patrol button is at the very bottom right. This goes for redirects, too. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:30, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
    • See also Heroes_Wiki:Administrators#Tips.
      • Going to your link made me remind that Orne is an admin, Where is he ? Is he ... gone ? It's been a while I didn't saw him around... -- FrenchFlo (talk)        15:44, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm

  • I'm getting a database error when I try to block User:Vagina. Any ideas?--Hardvice (talk) 03:42, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
    • I've temporarily protected the main page for now until the block issue is sorted out and/or he gets bored. We can rollback whatever he does tonight in a matter of minutes anyway, so I'm going to bed.--Hardvice (talk) 04:23, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
      • It's about 10'30am here so I'm here :) Good night! -- FrenchFlo (talk)        04:24, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
        • Eeeexcellent. It's 3:30 AM here and I need sleep. A bientôt!--Hardvice (talk) 04:25, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
          • I'm getting the same error message:
            "A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
            (SQL query hidden)
            from within function "Block::insert". MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'ipb_enable_autoblock' in 'field list' (208.50.200.2:3307)"."
            — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:07, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
    • Ok, I've fixed the problem now and blocked the vandal. (Admin 08:43, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
      • It's too bad because I was actually thinking of changing my username to the one s/he chose. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:40, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
        • Well, we won't be having any administrators with a username like that anytime soon I can assure you. :) (Admin 09:50, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
    • Hardvice, you have my contact info... in situations like that feel free to use it. :) (Admin 10:00, 4 May 2007 (EDT))

Persuasion power for Sylar

Hi! Thank you for your fast reply to my previous participation. I did never read anything official about it, but in "0.7%", during his confrontation with Isaac Mendez, it should be quite clear (in my opinion) Sylar tries to use Persuasion power in obligating Isaac to show him the future "He won't be". Are you really sure it is just a question of underlining "drama" ?

  • The writers have confirmed that it simply for dramatic effect. Heroe!(talk) (contribs) Random Page! 10:37, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
  • There's a discussion about this on the Sylar talk page here actually. The writers did explicitly say that he did not take her power. In fact, if you go back and compare the effect used with Eden's power to Sylar's voice you can tell that it's a different effect. (Admin 10:54, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
  • Thank you so much for your kind and very satisfactory answer. Best regards. NK

Redirect

5YG and THP were just a way to reach the episode page faster than write "The Hard Part" in the search field. I wasn't about to use those redirects in any article. It was just to make editors navigation faster. An easy way to find the episode page! -- FrenchFlo (talk)        09:14, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I was afraid of seeing us ending up with somewhat cryptic redirects for every episode and I don't think that'll be a good idea. Good for a forum perhaps (though I'm sure many newcomers there find the abbreviations very confusing) where everyone abbreviates everything, but not so good here. By not redirecting it will hopefully discourage people from even trying to link to the abbreviations and instead just use the full episode name which will keep things clear. (Admin 09:37, 9 May 2007 (EDT))

Parody category

Lostpedia has a parody section with lists of Lost parodies and I think we should have one too. So far, I have seen 4 Heroes parodies (Zeroes, Zeroes 2, Family Guy parody and the MADtv parody). What do you think? -User:Citizen

  • Sounds good to me. It might not have a whole lot of info to start, but hopefully will fill out in time. (Admin 16:39, 10 May 2007 (EDT))

Request on Got-Heroes.com again

  • I just wanted to ask again how I can be linked under the fansite links that you have on the main page, etc. Please e-mail me at heroesforum@aol.com. (Erratikmind 19:35, 18 May 2007 (EDT))
    • We have enough links on the main page for now. If you're interested in advertising your site here, feel free to purchase Google ads here and your site may be advertised on a number of different pages here. Thanks! (Admin 19:51, 18 May 2007 (EDT))

Hello

Nice to meet you I'm Adam.--Sage18 14:10, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Hey, Adam. Welcome to Heroes Wiki! :) (Admin 14:14, 21 May 2007 (EDT))

Main Page intro

Would it be ok if we put this temple on the top of the main page?--Sage18 15:30, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

{{Template:Mainpageintro}}

  • Check out the dicusssion about the template here. (Admin 15:30, 21 May 2007 (EDT))
  • Well, PNG scaling seems to work OK, although they evidently lose transparency.--Hardvice (talk) 15:45, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Free wiki hosting with profit sharing

I was reading on you user page about your Free wiki hosting with profit sharing. I wanted to make a wiki about that new show Traveler. Could you help me with it?--Sage18 16:21, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

New server

  • After seeing how quickly we're growing it looks like it's time for me to purchase a new beefier server just for Heroes Wiki. Will probably take a few weeks, but since we're on break until season two begins there should be time. Existing server is running an older OS and some sites that depend on older software, so upgrading would be non-trivial. Been running multiple versions of some of this software (PHP, MySQL, etc.) but getting them to co-exist is a little tricky and complicates the process of making certain changes that would help the site. I'll probably have to alter the percentage of revenue we donate for a while to offset the added cost, but it'll position us to be able to grow quite a bit more... and we'll need that in the upcoming seasons as we continue to grow in popularity. For those interested the new server will most likely have 2 Quad core Xeon 1.6ghz processors (2x4MB cache) and 8 GB memory. Also looking forward to being able to use APC which I expect to improve performance throughout the site. I've tested it on another newer server and APC is rather trivial to install on a system with a single version of PHP, but a little trickier to install with the current setup. (Admin 15:44, 22 May 2007 (EDT))
  • It sounds good. Well, I never had the pleasure to thank you, so, thanks Admin for everything you have done for this site, in particular, making it exist!! Depending on how many seasons Heroes will have, one thing is sure, the more season, the more traffic. So having new servers would be great, at least, I assume :) Well, thanks again! -- FrenchFlo (talk)        15:53, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

thanks :)

Hey, I really appreciate your kind comments on my wiki, 24 Database.

I really love Heroes Wiki, and find this site to be a great source of inspiration. I honestly feel it is one of the best wiki sites on the net, which is why I set it as a "golden standard" for my editors to model after.

Although, it is too bad that 24 and Heroes usually air at the same time. They are both great shows, thank goodness for DVR's and DVD's though.

Lag?

  • Hey. Check out the Image pages and see if you still see lag. I think I fixed a bug in MediaWiki that was causing the Image pages to load very slowly when caching was enabled. (Admin 11:42, 24 May 2007 (EDT))

A request

Could you be kind enough to delete one of my user subpages for me? I don't need it anymore and would like to get rid of it. [[User:Ice Vision/ha|Here it is]]. Thanks.--Ice Vision 21:56, 27 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Done. (Admin 21:58, 27 May 2007 (EDT))
    • Thanks, I appreciate it.--Ice Vision 22:10, 27 May 2007 (EDT)

Domain

Hello Admin. A friend and I want to start a website with web comics and forums and flash animation and we were wondering if you could host it for free like you offered with wikis in your user page. Let me know soon. Thank you -Citizen

  • Tell me more about your idea for a website. Will the web comics be something the two of you create, or comics created by other people? (Admin 13:36, 31 May 2007 (EDT))
