Special:Wantedpages problem

Hey I don't think you're on right now, but if you get this, could you check out a problem that some people are having with the red links page? MiamiVolts says it might be that someone swapped in the test.heroeswiki.com domain this morning for the home page. I'm a bit clueless. See here for details. Thanks! — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:05, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I think Admin's the only one who could have done so. We had the same problem back when he created the Episode: namespace, and he was able to fix it by running an update of some sort. I assume the same applies now.--Hardvice (talk) 21:02, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
    • Thanks. That's kinda what I thought, but wasn't sure. Techno jargon is not my strong point. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:21, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
      • What's this about test.heroeswiki.com? That's a test site I use personally and nothing here should reference it. Did something happen? (Admin 23:09, 2 May 2007 (EDT))
        • Dunno. MiamiVolts said the main page and some templates are pulling from it, but I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.--Hardvice (talk) 23:10, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

Rubber stamp

As requested, here is your [[User:Ryangibsonstewart/Rubber stamp|rubber stamp]]. Enjoy. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:51, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

Thanks

Thank you for helping format my posts. Sometimes I get so caught up trying to get information out to everyone that I don't concentrate on proper formatting. Thanks bunches!! Disney42 21:13, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

New Page

I was going to set up a new page for Goofs, but I was wondering what catagory I should put it under groups, or things, or something else? Get back to me! Thank You!--Patrick 16:42, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Category:Production has all of the behind-the-scenes stuff (everything that's about the show itself, rather than about the plot and characters and such).--Hardvice (talk) 18:01, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Where I use to live

Oh I'm from Powys.--Sage18 14:47, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Oh that kinda funny, Well it was nice meeting you. How long have you worked on this is wiki?--Sage18 15:15, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Since very nearly the beginning. My user number is 6, I think.--Hardvice (talk) 15:20, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

WOW!--Sage18 18:52, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Upgrade

  • Not sure if you saw my note on the Administrator Portal, but I upgraded MediaWiki from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0 over the weekend. Has a few new features that are documented in the release notes (there's a link to them on the portal). (Admin 14:49, 21 May 2007 (EDT))
    • I looked through the release notes a bit. Nothing monumental, but some nice little changes.--Hardvice (talk) 14:50, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
      • One small thing that I like is that the amount of bytes are included in the history. It'd be nice to have the +bytes and -bytes, but that's okay, I can do some simple math. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
        • They didn't release a patch from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0. I think they wanted a full upgrade, but I've modified some of the code and really didn't feel like having to go back and find all the changes. Fortunately a quick "svn diff" between their 1.9.3 and 1.10.0 releases gave me a nice patch file that I was able to test and apply successfully to bring the version up to date. Keep a lookout for any messed up PNG thumbnails. I had to pull that code out prior to applying the patch because it looks like they may have fixed that issue themselves. (Admin 14:55, 21 May 2007 (EDT))

Why hello there

  • There is a crazy person stalking me all over the internets, and I stumbled on this wiki with plans to wreak havoc and was surprised to see your name on the sysop list, so I didn't since I recognized you from ED and think ED is (or was) the shit. Anyway, this person months back put on your userpage that I impersonated you and now I'm edit warring with him over it... it seems like the polite thing to tell you. Miltopia 14:14, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
    • So it looks like making Hardvice a sysop has definitely paid off! ;) (Admin 14:16, 24 May 2007 (EDT))
      • Fun and excitement follows me every step of the way. Much fun can be had by checking out Hardvice's contribs on Wikipedia (no, he's not me.)--Hardvice (talk) 16:51, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
        • Saw that a while ago. My favorite were the additions to obesity...and the justification that it was a self portrait. Classic. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:16, 24 May 2007 (EDT)


So Miltopia said he found this wiki "with plans to wreak havoc" which means he planned to vandalize and troll and it's doubtful he even watches the TV show. Good thing Hardvice is a sysop here. Of course Miltopia is lying as he is the one who stalks everyone (e.g. MONGO, Tbeatty, etc.) Also I only linked to diffs saying hardvice was impersonated on Wikipedia and the text links only said "here."

Miltopia also claims that everyone who hates him (and it's a lot of people) is just one person and if you want to have fun, if you revert Miltopia then his paranoid fantasy will include you as the one person who is after him. Bugmenot 03:03, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

Happy Birthday, me!

So I just got a DVD recorder for my birthday. Awesome. I've recorded a few episodes onto DVDs, but I'm wondering what the next step is. I know you recommend Virtual Dub, which I'm downloading right now. Is there anything else I should know? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:06, 28 May 2007 (EDT)

CBR

Looks like you got one of your questions answered in one of the recent CBR interviews. :) (Admin 21:38, 31 May 2007 (EDT))

Everything ok?

  • Haven't seen you around much. Everything ok, or just been busy?
    • My laptop is out of commission, so I have extremely limited Internet time ATM.--Hardvice (talk) 02:54, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
      • Well we've certainly missed having you around. I thought you might've been hanging out with Orne. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:56, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

New Series Crew Portal

Hey there. I know you're not around as much lately, but on the off chance you might be checking in, I was wondering if you could help me out. I added Portal:Effects Department, and I have a feeling more series crew portals will be coming. Adding in the 64 combinations to the See Also list at the bottom of template:crewnav is, well, a pain in the ass. My thought is to get rid of the logic and just go for a straightforward list instead. That would mean the see also would include a second link to the portal for that person, but I don't think that's a big deal or a bad thing. Unless you want to work out the logic for adding a new portal (or give me some tips on how to do it), I'd rather drop the logic altogether. Thanks for your help, Hardvice. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:31, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

  • *Sniff* I love that template. If you can wait a day or so, I'll fix the logic. It's a pain, but it does exactly what we want. I'd hate to compromise just because it's easier.--Hardvice (talk) 03:21, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
    • That's cool, I'm in no rush. I love it too, but I haven't cracked it yet. I just wasn't sure if you'd be around to fix it up. I do plan to add another portal or two sometime soon, so you're in for some challenges. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:24, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Voice of Reason

It's good to have you back...or at least to see your name more than just once a day in the RCs. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:08, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

  • Yeah, welcome back. This mean a new laptop? :) (Admin 22:11, 28 June 2007 (EDT))
      • Currently using my Wii. Typing is very slow and I h8 Opera, but hey...--Hardvice (talk) 17:07, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

DVD ripper

Is there DVD ripping software you particularly like? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:58, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

  • AnyDVD + CloneDVD. DVDShrink used to be the best, but I think it's been abandoned. For pure ripping (as opposed to ripping, reencoding, and burning), you can't beat DVD Decrypter. It's a bit slow but it does a fantastic job and has good error correction.--Hardvice (talk) 21:47, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

He lives!

  • It's a miracle! :) (Admin 00:48, 18 August 2007 (EDT))
    • I'm thinking we should fill the site with spelling mistakes to draw him out. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:11, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
      • Yeah, I still haven't replaced my laptop (long story), so while I'm still reading RC, editing anything is a bear until after 10 PM (by which time I've got a ton of other stuff to do) since I'm stuck using the browser on the Wii. But I'm still here, I swear.--Hardvice (talk) 01:14, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
        • So does the increasing number of edits recently mean you've replaced your laptop now? (Admin 12:59, 6 September 2007 (EDT))
          • Still no. But now that the weather's better, my dogs are willing to spend more time outside and don't need to be babysat constantly, so I can sneak into the office a bit more.--Hardvice (talk) 13:00, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

crewnav

Hey, when you get a second, will you add Portal:Stunts and Portal:Effects Department to template:crewnav, or at least give me the lowdown on how to do it? Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2007 (EDT)

  • I'll get on it tonight. I'd explain how, but first I have to remember how. :) --Hardvice (talk) 17:57, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
    • What is it you actually want to do? Expand the the "See also" list? Template:Stunts and Template:FX are already included as options...and when I look at people in Stunts and FX, links to Portal:Stunts and Portal:Effects_Department are already appearing on the left-side.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
      • Right, it's not expanding the "See Also" section to list all of the Series crew portals to which the person in question doesn't belong. That requires a lot of expansion of the portal's logic. It's pretty easy to do, but the number of options increases geometrically as you add new portals. So it's not hard, but it's a bunch of fiddly edits.--Hardvice (talk) 19:23, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
      • Here's an RTF file with the logic tree in it as it stands. Basically, in the first section, each {{#if: {{{other|}}} needs to be split into two options for FX, and each {{#if: {{{FX|}}} needs to be split into two options for stunts, making 4x the current number of combinations.--Hardvice (talk) 19:38, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
