Signatures for GMT users

I wonder if there's any way to have it so that if you're a GMT (or any non - American) user and you click on the signature button it'll come up with your time? I have to do mine manually. Thanks! --IotV 12:12, 5 January 2009 (GMT)

  • Under your preferences, 'Date and time', you can set your timezone to GMT by setting the difference in hours from UTC. Or you can create your own custom signature template. See Help:Signatures for more info.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:11, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Jimmy Jean-Louis's Charity 'Hollywood Unites for Haiti'

Hey, I know that you give donations to charities with some of the money generated by the website and I was wondering if you would be willing to give to Jimmy Jean-Louis's Charity 'Hollywood Unites for Haiti'. It is a charity which is trying to help out Haiti which according to Jimmy is really struggling at the moment and has been since it was hit by a hurricane in September. There is more info on Jimmy's site [1] and a website for the charity should be up sometime next week [2]. I feel that this would be a good place for the wiki to give money too as the charity not only aims to raise money but also aims to let people know what is going in Haiti a country so close to the USA. Jimmy is a great guy and would be really thrilled if you could give his charity a good start. Thanks a lot. I have done a interview with him and this is one of the topics which we talked about a lot.--Skywalkerrbf 15:18, 15 January 2009 (EST)

  • Any thoughts on this?

ExpandTemplates

Have you seen my comments about the ExpandTemplates extension and Template:ArchivePrelinks on the test site?--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:43, 26 January 2009 (EST)

  • Not yet, I haven't had a chance to work on the new release for the past week or so. I will read them, though. (Admin 10:47, 26 January 2009 (EST))

Help finding a specific wiki page

There is a page I can't remember its name, where we showcase a side-by-side gallery of a painting and its real-show counterpart frame. It looks like the gallery in this page (here), but it showcases all examples of paintings that resemble real-life shots. Can you help me find it? I wanna save it as a link in my user area...I just can't remember it's name or what it's catalogued under. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 01/26/2009 14:51 (EST)

  • Are you looking for Prophecy, one of my favorite aritcles? :) (Admin 14:53, 26 January 2009 (EST))

Peter

Can you go to Talk:Peter Petrelli help to set some consensus rule as to what is Peter's current abilities? Thanks. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 15:27, 3 February 2009 (EST)

IRC Channel

Can we set up an official IRC channel for this site? There would be a few users, and you can link a Mibbit widgit in the navigation for any users who don't use IRC clients. Spatial 18:37, 3 February 2009 (EST)

Physical Mimicry

  • Can we have a definite hold on the Physical Mimicry theory of mine? As far as we know that's the only speculation that we have as shown in the episode? - Arkillion (Arkillion 13:28, 4 February 2009 (EST))
    • What do you mean? (Admin 13:29, 4 February 2009 (EST))
      • As far as we know he can mimic abilities of other evolved humans such as Mohinder and Tracy by physically touching them, people speculate it is a mixture of both his original ability and his father's ability and some speculate that it was due to the "shunt" keeping him drugged. Can we have Physical Mimicry/Peter's Ability remain open for speculation?
        • Well, the name "Physical Mimicry" is completely off the table because it's an inaccurate term for his ability. The fact that it requires physical contact (it seems) is merely a detail of the ability. I think the article can be left Peter's ability for now while we document exactly what we've observed so far. If we determine through more information in upcoming episodes that it's actually more appropriate to use one of the existing abilities we have then we can merge any relevent information from Peter's ability into that article. There do seem to be some clear differences so far between his ability and the others we've seen so far so I think having Peter's ability for now allows us to collect everything we know about his current ability without the risk of incorrectly claiming it's one of the other abilities we've seen so far. (Admin 13:42, 4 February 2009 (EST))
          • I realise the term "Physical Mimicry" sounds a tad risque, but I had no other way of describing the process of his ability without including mimicry and something physical. Power Mimicry is way too inaccurate/bland. Ability Mimicry is also inaccurate/bland but Physical Mimicry sounded "okay". Heh - Arkillion


volume

i think in the character pages instead of appearing seasone one or two should appear volume --Manwithnoname 17:44, 6 February 2009 (EST)

  • This is actually a pretty good idea, it makes sense considering that we are still in Season 3 but are into the second volume for the season. Adding A Clear and Present Danger to Season 3 can be a bit confusing.--Steelymcbeam 11:07, 8 February 2009 (EST)
    • A Clear and Present Danger is part of Season Three. It's the fourteenth episode of the season and is billed as such in official sources. Making a change like the one proposed is not a bad suggestion, but it would mean restructuring pretty much the entire wiki. However, it should really be discussed at the community portal. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Spoiler on non-spoiler page

Hi, I just had a question about spoilers on non-spoiler pages... are they not allowed at all? I was under the impression that we could post them as long as they're blacked out using spoilertext. It's been done lots of times before to no consequence. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:20, 9 February 2009 (EST)

  • There are differing opinions on it. I am absolutely against the use of the spoilertext template (as I was when it was originally created). When I come across its use I remove the text. Spoilertext doesn't hide text reliably nor does it hide it when viewing diffs in the recent changes. I've had too many things spoiled because of its use. (Admin 22:22, 9 February 2009 (EST))
    • Agree. When the spoilertext template was first created, I thought it was a great solution. That was also at a time when I immersed myself in spoilers and spent a lot of time scouring the net for them, so seeing a spoiler wasn't as sensitive to me. I've since mellowed in that regard. I don't avoid spoilers, but I don't like seeing them unless I choose to see them. I, too, have been disappointed by seeing spoilers when my mouse accidentally crawls over the black text, or when I check diffs on nonspoiler pages. I've also seen computers that don't behave nicely with the spoilertext template, and nothing gets blacked out. If it were up to me, I'd get rid of the template and just say no spoilers on nonspoiler pages. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:36, 10 February 2009 (EST)

German Wiki

Hello. I'm the Admin of the German HeroesWiki (The lady with the white scarf, maybe you remember ;)) and there are some things for you to be done there, an also something I'm wondering about the whole time:

  • Could you please update the statistics? It's February right now, and they are sticking in September. :)
  • We were running into some problems with the toc-template. But I think you got already a message on your user page at the German Wiki. It would be really nice if you could correct this.
  • And, last but not least, I was wondering if you could create namespaces like "graphic novel" and "theory" for our Wiki as well? I mean we can creat pages which are named e.g. "Graphic Novel:Libertad", but it's still defined as a normal article, and not as a graphic novel. We would need the namespaces for "Comic" (graphic novels), "Theorie" (theories) and for portals, which are named "Portal"s as well. Like I said, I was wondering if you could do that.

Thank you for all your help. Lady xph 245 16:01, 16 February 2009 (EST)

  • Admin, I'm not sure if I am able to help with any of this...but I know it's a lot of work. If there's anything I can do, please let me know. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:45, 16 February 2009 (EST)
