HOLY CRAP IT WORKED

Yeah. I was watching RC and rooting for you all along. Congrats! – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 18:30 Oct 21, 2007

Yeah, I had some code that added a bunch of search tabs (for Wikipedia, Google, etc) and it was somehow blocking the QVFD tab from showing up. Thanks, I'm glad I got this going, too. Now perhaps I can contribute a bit more... --Andorin Kato 18:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Why did u revert my edit?

here? Likesowhat 02:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

...'cause it's not funny? --Andorin Kato 02:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

...cause he was too busy playing Kingdom of Loathing to care? But really, we appreciate your edits, but what maybe funny to you might not be to others. Sorry. --Lt. High Gen. Grue The Few The Proud, The Marines 02:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm too busy patrolling RC to care. But close enough. :P --Andorin Kato 02:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

ok. cool. thx. Likesowhat 02:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Your sig

I saw you reverted my subst: on the forum post. Just so you know, it was causing some kind of funky error with an unclosed <<span>. I couldn't pin it down, and the subst: with an extra seemed to do the trick. I just poked at your sig code, and it makes my head hurt. Of course, mine is pretty ugly, too     EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank)   02:37, 6 November 2007 (UTC)  

I got it figured out eventually. I would have figured it out right after I saved it, but I ran out of time and had to go somewhere. Turns out I was missing two <span>s. I hope the revert wasn't a problem; I just wanted to clear it up for you guys. --Andorin Kato 02:42, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

One More Thing

Oh awsome user, look at my page and leave constructive criticism. Osirus9

GS stuff

I'm revamping, we made a HUGE mistake, and we were fools. Rally racing isn't what we described it to be, so i'm just replacing any and all instances of it with race. --Trar (talk|contribs|grueslayer) 15:16, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

==Welcome This TEMPLATE==

CONGRATULATIONS! You have been awarded the secret purple nurples for outstanding acts of uselessness! [[{|]] [[|}]]

You earned it =) ~Formerly Annoying Crap 07:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks? --Andorin Kato 07:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Template:Welcome

Why'd you remove the substs? They're there so that the username remains subst'ed in, so when they archive it, it doesn't say something like "Hello User:Dr. Skullthumper/archive 1, and welcome to Uncyclopedia!" – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:11 Nov 10, 2007

Because I was browsing through user talk pages and I found one where someone had just used {{welcome}}, and it started as "Welcome, {{PAGENAME}}," instead of displaying their actual name. The same went for their contribs link. So I figured there was a problem with the substs, and when I removed them and refreshed the talk page, it was normal. So... /me shrugs --Andorin Kato 19:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Here I am with a response a few days late: They forgot to subst the bleedin' template. But I don't think it matters either way now, really... – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 23:00 Nov 13, 2007

RE: Sig Edits

• Thanks for fixing my sig, at first I wasn't sure what you did, but I just pulled the ol' compare versions in history. Also, I readded the date and time at the end, it seemed to be missing. But anyhow, thank you muchly. -- Spillin DylanTALKEDITS
  • Wow and I just learned something while posting here. Since I re-added the date and time, I first signed with four tildes, and it comes out as

Spillin DylanTALKEDITS 23:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Now I can use three tildes and get just

Excuse me

I was thinking of being adopted in that adopt a noob thing.But I need to know more about it.What do I have to do?Do I have to give out information?--Ace Detective 03:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Ace Detctive--Ace Detective 03:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

First add {{Adoptme}} to your userpage, then go here to see a list of users currently accepting adoption requests. Leave one of them a message on their talk page and wait for them to get back to you. --Andorin Kato 03:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcoming Users

Am I doing a better job at welcoming users now? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, sir. My one recommendation would be that you put something in the edit summary- "Welcome!" or "Welcome to Uncyclopedia." or something. Otherwise it shows up as "Created page with '{{subst:welcome}}--~~~~'." --Andorin Kato 16:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Will do from now on :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Good man. --Andorin Kato 16:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a page that lists all the new users? That would make it a lot easier than having to whore the recent changes page. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:46, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Special:Listusers. But I'd just watch RC, because most of the users on that list are inactive and sorting through the list would be a dick. --Andorin Kato 16:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I've already realized that, lawl....anyways....-Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I've got a suggestion for you. Go here and copy the stuff in the box. Now go here, edit the page, paste the stuff in, save, and refresh your browser. Then tell me what you see. :) --Andorin Kato 16:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

That froze my page...I don't want to do that...what am I supposed to see? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Also, give ME a chance to WELCOME users to this site...geez, you are taking all of the users :(

It's supposed to give you tons of nifty little things. Like an auto-QVFD script so you can automatically add an article to QVFD. Also, it highlights various aspects of Recent Changes, including the talk pages of users who haven't been welcomed, making it easier to spot someone who needs to be welcomed. Can't imagine how it froze you up, though. --Andorin Kato 17:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I tried it again, and it froze me up again....now, I just want to page to get huffed :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it on QVFD. I still think that's weird... but if you think you can get along without it, more power to ya. --Andorin Kato 17:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll try it again when I get home, maybe... -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Recent Changes

Ever since I tried doing that thing you gave me, the recent changes has been freezing my cpu that I'm using as well...not cool :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry... I've never heard of .js freezing a browser. Maybe it's your computer? --Andorin Kato 17:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

And you just welcomed the user that I was about to! Dammit! -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Yep. It's that .js. :P --Andorin Kato 17:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I got that page huffed because of it's tendancy to freeze my cpu. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: RE: Sig Changes

Yeah, In my sig I use five tildes to give you only the time and date, then you can apply formatting to that as you like. Then because the sig includes the time and date, you only sign with three tildes, so it doesn't get added twice as I mentioned above. I'm not sure if this is how others do it, but it seems to work. -- Spillin DylanTALKEDITS

Something still isn't quite right, though. My date and time don't seem to update; look at the difference between these two posts that were 5 minutes apart. Back to the drawing board.... -- Spillin DylanTALKEDITS

If I were you I would just sign with four tildes, and remove the timestamp from your signature code, until you find a way to make the timestamp small. I know there's a way to do it, because I've seen it before, but I'm not sure what it is. I say just keep browsing the wiki as normal, and take the time to look at peoples' sigs. If you see someone with a sig that has a small timestamp, contact them and ask them how it's done. --Andorin Kato 18:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hoping for some help...

Hello again! Hope you are well... I have a few questions that I was hoping you would be good enough to answer...

I have now written a few articles as referenced from my user page:

Moving the goal posts, Project Manager and Pointless Paradox

I think Moving the goal posts is probably the best I have done and that the others are a bit lame and am trying to improve them both myself and by increasing the "exposure" that they get in the uncylopedia. Like everyone (I guess) I think it would be nice to have people read what I have done, and hopefully add to and improve it. It's kinda obvious that unless it's linked to from other pages no one is very likely to find it...

I know about the Pee review, and will pluck up the currage to try it soon. Obviously I could add a link to various categories hoping that someone will fing it when browsing through but which ones? For example [[Moving the goal posts] could be added to Buisness, which I have, but it could also be added to pratically all of the other sub-categories below it. Some of these have sub-categories, which have sub-categories and so on. Whats normally done about this? Just try to trawl down the sub-category list to find the single most relavant category or should I put it in lots of places? Also there are other categories (not under Business) which Moving the goal posts could be argued to be related to e.g sports, hobbies etc... Whats the norm with categorys?

I guess I could also increase the chances of someone finding my work by adding links to it on various other articles related to the subjet. I'm wondering what's considered normal here and what would be considered spamming? Obviously any links would need to be relavant (and hopefully funny), but again i'm wondering what is considered the norm.

I think I'm getting the hang of using sandboxes, but have a few questions about them. I take it that if I save something under one of my user pages it does not bother anyone by showing up on "recent changes"? How do I get a list of what sub-pages I have under my user page (for when I forget)?

If I have the construction tag on an article does this reduce the chances that it will be edited by another user?

Any guidance one the above (and obviously any criticism of what I have done) would be very welcome. Especially if you fancied looking at Pointless Paradox I think I might be on dodgy ground on this one! If your not into reviewing that's cool, I will just take it to the Pee review and wait for my assassination! Thanks in advance MrN 21:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!

Props to you Andorin Kato for keeping an eye on the Metallica page. It's good to see someones taking a stance against the vandals. Cheers! --NewReference 01:36, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Who's taking the piss?

Hi, your faithfull N00b here again... Ok, not a huge list of questions this time you will be pleased to know! Just thought you might like to know that I have just put in for my first pee-review... Please feel free to extract as necessary! MrN 04:05, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Now that you've submitted the Pee Review, all you've got to do is wait. Someone will get to it eventually. In my experience, Cajek gives really good pee reviews and watches the list of articles to review the new ones. So my advice is to just watch your Pee Review entry and wait for Cajek, or someone else, to get to it. And in case you're thinking of it, don't try posting a request on his talk page about it; just be patient and you'll get reviewed soon. :) --Andorin Kato 04:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool... I can do that... :) Was wondering what the N means to the left of some of the things waiting to be reviewed? Mine Moving the goal posts does not have a N, but most of the others seem to... I'm also trying to get something from my namespace deleted, but it's still there after 2 days. Any chance you could have a look and see if I have marked it correctly? - User:MrN9000/Pointless_Paradox Is this how I should mark a page created by a vandle? It's almost 5 in the morning here! Maybe I should go to bed! Your being so helpful, is there anything I can do for ya by way of thanks? Have fun. ;) MrN 04:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The "N" means there's been an edit to the Pee Review page since you last viewed it. Also, if you ever want a page in your userspace to be deleted, then you can do one of two things: tell me, or go to Uncyclopedia:QuickVFD, edit the section of the current day, add your page to the top of the list (make sure you put a space in front of the link, so that QVFD maintains its box-like state), and put something like "-user request" after the link so the deleting admin knows that it's okay to delete the page. --Andorin Kato 04:54, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, cheers!

re: yer n00b-welcome: Thanks. I'll be sure to ask if I have any questions. I be RTing the FM right now. I've been an anonymous pedant, going round changing "it's" to "its" like the orthography-fascist I am, so I thought I'd sign up. --WhatAJoyDivine 06:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, good work. Signing up is the first step down a long and illustrious Uncyclopedia career. --Andorin Kato 06:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Special:Shortpages

The information on Special:Shortpages is cached, meaning, it'll be a day or so before your edit would have had any effect. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 02:51 Nov 20, 2007

Well, my idea didn't work anyway- the pages use {{disambig}}, so adding characters to the template doesn't change the size of the article. --Andorin Kato 02:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Ohhh... that's what you were trying to do. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 02:53 Nov 20, 2007

You could always just add characters to each page individually. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 02:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

But that's so much worrrrrk.... eh, maybe. --Andorin Kato 02:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

A Vandle pissing all over the place?

Hi Andorin,

Just noticed that an IP (who I think might be a vandle) just put has Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Manhattan teen on suicide watch up for review... Wondered what the procedure here was?

Thanks... MrN 10:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Re-re above, tis no problem now... Some kind invidual has already reverted it form me... I guess its ok to do it if its obviously rubbish...  :) MrN 11:04, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

The original was made by a registered user, and made improperly. I did a few favors for this user- moved their UnNews page to a proper title and recreated their Pee Review page, this time doing it right. --Andorin Kato 18:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Check out Special:Contributions/124.168.24.176 Does this page need to be sent to QVFD? MrN 18:51, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Nope. --Andorin Kato 19:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Fancy comming to IRC?

Have something which might be of interest to ya... MrN 19:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

N00B

Long time no text...call...type(that's it) My friend has recently joined the cult of uncyclopedia. His name is SmashedBanjo. He is a good guy but could you kinda, with me of course, look at his contributions now and then? I apprecieate it oh merciful wiseman. Also, his creation is connnected to my IP because he started his account on my computor today, so if the n00b does anything stupid, it is not me. He comes over all the time too, because he is my bud, so he will make edits through my IP sometimes.

Osirus9

If both of you have accounts, there should be no need to make IP edits. --Andorin Kato 04:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

How do i make this a user box

IS it possible to make this a userbox? if so how? {{Userbox|border-c=black |border-s=2 |id-c=grey|id-s=10|id-fc=grey |info-c=green|info-s=12 |info-fc=black |id=[[Image:Bones logo.jpg|60px]]|info=This User Kicks Zombie Ass!!!}}

Osirus9

Is this what you wanted?

This User Kicks Zombie Ass!!!

From:

{{userbox|black|#FFFFFF|[[Image:Bones logo.jpg|60px]]|This User Kicks Zombie Ass!!!}} --Andorin Kato 20:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, have you been signing your edits with four tildes (~~~~)? If so, then the date should automatically be appearing after your name. --Andorin Kato 20:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it ready?

Hea, Andorin. Hope your well... I was wondering if you thought that The Color Problem might be suitable for adding to VHF? I have had a peer review on it which went quite well... As you know I have not tried this before, but I'm quite happy with it now and would obviously be grateful for some wise words on this one... MrN 20:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Follow the advice of the reviewer, touch a few things up, then go ahead and submit it. And good luck. --Andorin Kato 20:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion?

Just wondered what you thought my changes to Gay? I have made a few changes generally, but see what you think about the box at the top... The page has just been unprotected I think, have already got one new addition! MrN 02:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

You voted... ...for Francis Winkler! In the name of all state-employed public educators of unstraight persuasion everywhere, thank you!

Thanks! --Andorin Kato 02:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Your thanking yourself!

Ha! Caught you! Guess you have a script running... It's a cool article though... Did you check the feature queue? It's currently got the "original" in the display...

Congrats on the article, you deserve it... I wonder how my The Color Problem will fair...

Also, better luck this month with you admin application. It's only a matter of time... MrN 02:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

He's mad! I always knew he'd lose it one day! ~ 02:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I did all the thankings manually, but figured I should get a template as well, since I voted. I couldn't write a script to save my life. (Which is a dumb saying because you never hear anyone say "Write this script or you're dead!") I imagine they'll do Mr winkler is GAY as the cover feature, but it's all the same. --Andorin Kato 02:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that Codeine is certainly heading in that direction....~ 02:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

If his announcement on IRC (something along the lines of "I'm going to pull an rc" when discussing Mr winkler is GAY's featuring) is to be believed, then yes, I think so too. --Andorin Kato 02:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

In which case does the award not go to the IP who created the original? Only a thought! I take it you saw that managed to convince enough fools to vote for me in the N00b last month... I cant thank you enough for helping me out early on, had you not been so kind I might not have bothered hanging around for as long as I have... On another note I'm sure that you are aware that a certain someone has been un-banned. I always thought it was a bit harsh myself, but hea. Many congrats on your first feature. You have worked hard for this. Well done. MrN 02:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

No, because we're only putting the original on the front page so people will understand the joke.

Zana's... unbanned? --Andorin Kato 02:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

RE the award... I know that silly one, I was pulling your leg.... RE Zana, Yes. I believe so, think Tom did it. MrN 02:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
