Name Change Request

  • Admin, could you remove the 14 from my name? Thanks!--  Japanimation          My Talk   22:40, 1 December 2007 (EST)
    • Done. (Admin 22:47, 1 December 2007 (EST))
  • Much appreciated--  Japanimation          My Talk   22:49, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Name Changes

I'm curious about the technicalities involved in name changes. After you change names, it looks like you just move the user pages and user talk pages to the new username. But the old pages, which now contain redirects, aren't deleted. Am I right to assume that you block new users from taking the old username after moves? I'm not considering a name change atm, but I don't want there to be potential db holes if this continues to be an ongoing thing.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:18, 1 December 2007 (EST)

  • The old redirects will be deleted, I'm just leaving them temporarily until Japanimation changes all the old links over to his new name. As part of the name change process the requestor needs to be willing to update all the links to their old name so that it's all cleared out in case someone else registers it in the future. I forgot to point this out explicitly before this particular name change, but I don't think there will be a problem. (Admin 23:21, 1 December 2007 (EST))
    • That can be a lot of updates for some users. Japanimation is relatively new, so it's not that big of a problem. Maybe you can check into whether the bot could help with that for future changes. Just a thought.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:30, 1 December 2007 (EST)
      • It can't do it currently, but in time as I add more functionality it may be able to. It's a good idea. (Admin 23:32, 1 December 2007 (EST))

Bot request (maybe)

  • Take a look at User:Hardvice/Guest_stars. We're ready to go with autoportals for minor characters except for one thing: lots of the characters articles don't have |sortname= set. Is it possible to have the bot set |sortname= to PAGENAME for all of the articles which don't have a sortname? Does it matter that some have the variable, but leave it blank, while others don't have the variable at all? Can it be done in two passes if that does matter? Are we better off doing it by hand?--Hardvice (talk) 05:25, 2 December 2007 (EST)
    • Shouldn't be a problem. I should be able to work on it sometime Sunday if I have time. (Admin 05:28, 2 December 2007 (EST))
      • Rock solid.--Hardvice (talk) 05:46, 2 December 2007 (EST)
        • Is there one particular category that you need the sortname added to? (Admin 13:26, 2 December 2007 (EST))

Hello again :)

Hey Admin, remember me? The Hebrew-version guy? :P We haven't talked for a while, although I do read here everyday. I haven't given up on the Hebrew Wiki, and I'm planning on bringing it back to life during the break.

I saw that you opened a wiki for the Bionic Woman, with the same design and everything. I thought to myself, would it be possible for you to open a wiki for Chuck, a great TV show, on your server, with the same design as HeroesWiki and The Bionic Woman.

Thanks,

Quite a few name changes

Radiokinesis (induce radioactivity) Florakinesis (plant control) Cryokinesis (freezing) Spontaneous Regeneration (Rapid cell regeneration) Omnilinguality (Omnilingualism) Self-Duplication (replication) Electrokinesis (lightning) Emotion Manipulation (bliss and horror)

i hate to be a bitch but i kinda found some 'better' names for some of the powers. the current names are in brackets

thanks, ash

  • Unfortunately, per our help:naming conventions, it's no to all. Induced radioactivity, freezing, rapid cell regeneration, replication, bliss and horror, and lightning all come from canon or near-canon soruces, which trumps any made-up names. "Florakinesis" literally means "flower movement". "Omnilinguality" is just a very awkward form of "omnilingualism", which follows the pattern of real words like "bilingualism".--Hardvice (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2007 (EST)
    • ah well :D fair enough
