Infobox is not displaying the pictures[edit source]

Hi MrX, Two articles that I created use the 'Infobox single' template, 'Keep It' and 'Crazy Little Thing Called Lunch'. The source was not changed but now the JPEG images aren't displayed in the boxes. I tried several changes but nothing worked. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks. Michael9422 (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

It looks like having the word "cover" capitalized was a problem. Try making the others lowercase, see if that helps. Or try copying everything from an article like Fight for Your Right. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 17:24, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

MrX how has your life been[edit source]

I found out you also want to destroy Starbucks. 107.123.49.55 (talk) 14:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Um, good, thanks for asking. When did I say I want to destroy Starbucks? MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 15:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Page created by Andrew5/Gale5050[edit source]

Gale5050 just created Listen i dont give a shit anymore with an IP sock of his (which I was notified by via ping, sending an email). It should be removed, but I wanted to send it to you to see if anything should be done about him, since you've dealt with him before. I would have also contacted Cassie but she hasn't edited in a while. FYI: Andrew5/Gale5050 has been harassing and impersonating me across various Wikimedia projects for over a week. ChrisWx??? (complaining - destruction) 02:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

FYI, 107.123.49.55 above is another IP sock of his, currently globally blocked on Wikimedia as him, see this. ChrisWx??? (complaining - destruction) 02:40, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I have moved this page to the forum. --\78/T 03:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello there, ChrisWx! I never thought we'd have a legitimate Wikipedia editor venture over here to help us with our Gale problem. Thanks for pointing that stuff out! And yes, C78's right that that page is better kept for records and moved to a forum. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 05:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Of course, glad to help out! I agree with both you and C78 in that regard now that it's been done, and I'm kinda hoping he can take the advice I gave him in the forum, despite his disruption over the past few days. ChrisWx??? (complaining - destruction) 05:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
For sure, I've often thought of begging a few Wikipedia editors to take him back, guess it wouldn't work lol. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 05:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Another sock[edit source]

The IP sock 2600:387:15:1B19:0:0:0:5 just posted a "rant" at the forum. (Forum:Listen i (Gale5050) dont give a shit anymore for easier access) He previously used the range to send me attacks/threats on Wikivoyage and it should be blocked. ChrisWx??? (complaining - destruction) 19:49, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Blocked. Hope i put in the right range, because that's something i tend to struggle with. Alula.gifAlula.gif 19:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks! That range looks good. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 20:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Stop hand nuvola.svg

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Uncyclopedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --2600:387:15:2D12:0:0:0:C (talk) 21:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Cute. Alula.gifAlula.gif 21:32, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
It's incredible that I actually saw a vandal warning administrators not to vandalize the Uncyclopedia. --\78/T 02:29, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Indeed. Gale5050’s shit is sometimes more amazing for the world’s leading anthropologists than it is annoying for us Uncyc editors. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 04:49, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Now I really have seen something. (refrence to the saying "now I really have seen it all", which is obviously false) L10nM4st3r ROAR at me! / What my paws scratched 08:07, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
For real. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 16:35, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Sigh, I would have thought MrX, that your one second ban would have taught you the value of respecting the sanctity of this wiki, but clearly we were not harsh enough. I propose a 1.1 second ban on MrX (10% increase for now). This will show him that we mean business this time. Vandalism doesn't just leave marks on the wiki, it also permanently stains your own soul! ShabiDOO 02:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
I support this ban. Alula.gifAlula.gif 14:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Alright, guess that's consensus. Doing it right now. Alula.gifAlula.gif 21:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I know it must have been one of the most difficult things you have ever done Alula, to punish someone you love, but it was for the best. MrX has likely learnt his lessons. He may have magnificent gargantuan balls, but that doesn't give him a free pass. I hope we can now move on in love and brotherhood! ShabiDOO 01:07, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
I will try my bestest to take this lesson to heart for reals this time. I also hit myself a few times for good measure. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 00:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

succession box broken[edit source]

Hi MrX, The succession box template in my article "Keep It" is not rendering correctly anymore. Has something changed? Thanks. Michael9422 (talk) 17:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

The template was reverted to an older version which uses different parameters. Also i fixed it. Let me know if there are more problems with it. Alula.gifAlula.gif 17:50, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Alula! MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 00:39, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

site notice[edit source]

Could you or anyone tell me how to edit the site notice again pease? ShabiDOO 19:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok, it's not too hard, but for some reason I'm having trouble remembering exactly what I did last time. It has something to do with editing some or all of these pages: MediaWiki:Sitenotice, Template:Sitenotice, Template:Sitenotice banner, and MediaWiki:Sitenotice id. The last one is important, you have to add one to the number, that makes the site notice repop up for everyone who has long ago dismissed the last site notice. I'm pretty sure looking at the histories of those pages will be enough for you to figure it out, but let me know if you have any questions, I should have a little more time later if you need. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 00:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Okay thanks. I've changed it for the voting for top 10 of 2023. Though maybe it takes a few minutes to update? ShabiDOO 01:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Yeah or if you purge the page. I’m seeing it now, but you might wanna change it again. It says “final standings”. Maybe change it to something like voting is open. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Seems I sporked the wrong template. Changed it but, in any case, will get poeple to the page! ShabiDOO 01:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
@Shabidoo: very nicely done! Thanks for taking care of that. I'm hoping to vote soon, def this week. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 16:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Question[edit source]

Can you tell me what exactly the "spoon" is? Is it some sort of page that ripped off Uncyclopedia or what? Extremely Funny (nuke) (troll) 00:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Haha that’s one way to put it. But you should know since that’s where you found the Mike Pence article. Anyway, in the beginning, there was just one happy, harmonious Uncyclopedia. It was on Wikia, now known as Fandom. Then Wikia/Fandom started getting worse and worse with content warnings and censorship and bullshit. So all the funny writers correctly decided that they should leave and find a home that doesn’t censor comedy. A few stubborn fools who can’t locate the G-spot inexplicably decided to stay at Wikia/Fandom. This was all incredibly similar to the Great Split in Darts. Anyway, the funny dudes started uncyclopedia.co in 2013. Then in 2019, just as all the funny writers at uncyclopedia.co said would happen, Wikia/Fandom kicked Uncyc out. Again this is just like the British Darts Organization folding. Instead of reuniting with the funny writers here at .co, the fools decided to start their own uncyc at uncyclopedia.ca. This all happened before I even joined Uncyc. We’ve tried to reunite with them a few times, and they’ve always responded with the Three Noes. Shabidoo, Kippy, and PF4Eva, just to name a few, were actually around for the Great Split and could probably share a lot more with you if you’re interested. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
This is very interesting. I appreciate this information. Strongly appreciated. Extremely Funny (nuke) (troll) 01:36, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
My pleasure. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
All you need to know about the spoon is what you can gather by reading the end of their site notice: "and a welcome, maybe, if you actually edit; and we won't de-platform you for your views, as long as they're funny." They are basically threatening new users in their very welcome message with a potential block. Fucking saddest thing on earth is someone who has some authority on a collaborative website and goes around blocking everyone who reacts negatively to their disdainful contempt of just about everyone. Haven't learnt their bloody lesson a near decade on. Sigh. It would be cosmically hilarious if it wasn't so groan inducing sad. Not afraid to admit I'm still terribly bitter about all that fucking nonsense years later. Colossal sad ridiculous nonsense. ShabiDOO 01:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Indeed. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Oh and another thing, we don’t have any rules against being an editor/writer on both sites. The only rule, that we both follow quite cordially, is not to copy each other’s articles, unless the authors themselves are the ones importing. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Okay, so we can't steal text, good to know. But what about images and photos? Extremely Funny (nuke) (troll) 00:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
If it's an original/potatochopped image, I'd say probably not, since that's more along the lines of an original work. If it's a funny but regular pic, like a celebrity caught picking their nose or stuffing their face or something, something that could pop up on a regular google search, then that should be fine. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 00:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Fair enough. Extremely Funny (nuke) (troll) 00:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I agree with MrX as regards images. Ones that have been photoshopped or created via an AI mode should be left alone if you are sourcing them from the Spoon (at least post 5th January 2013 when the sites diverged) . Generally I would look for your own photos. Regards Fork/Spoon history this is one interpretation about what happened so long ago. As I said before, let your servers hum with productive activity. As does ours. Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 23:05, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Account deletion.[edit source]

I'm hoping to get this account deleted. I've already posted on cassie's talk page but I've come to learn that she isn't quite active. Hoping you can help.

I've followed all the steps and intend to follow up further in the Discord either way.

Thank you in advance.

O57813 (talk) 21:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I can help with that. As you probably know, there is no way to completely delete an account, but I can rename your account to something random, which I will do momentarily. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 00:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Alright, it's done, take care. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I'm back![edit source]

Hi there, Just letting you know that I'm back and that I've cleared out the UN:DMA logs. Feel free to refer further inquiries to me (although my time to response may vary).  Cassandra  (talk) 01:13, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Fuck yeah! Welcome back! You've been missed, hope all is well, and yeah I'm happy to handle dma stuff or whatever too, my response time has also varied a little bit lately. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 01:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Welcome back, Cassie! But I'm wondering if I'm just being picky but, in the Freaks & Greeks template the article of Cassandra is listed as one of the Gods & Titans. Well, I mean it's lovely and all but she was neither Greek nor a God (although she did have that relationship with Apollo or rather lack of relations with) I don't know, it's just that Cassandra was really just a Trojan Princess. It's the Trojan Horse that was the real problem, but I digress. When Cassandra and Apollo would talk amongst themselves she was aloof and he was playing the role of just a guy. Nacky (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
You could move Cassandra to another part of the template. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 03:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
I'll do that then. I mean it is "Freaks & Greeks" so her being added to the characters would suffice, I'd think. She may not have been Greek, but she was a future-predicting, Apollo-shunning, chain-smoking freak. Of course, I guess all of them were lol! Nacky (talk) 03:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Lol agreed. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 04:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Yeah it's pretty good stuff. Those Greek tragedies are some really messed up stuff. It's really a wonder that they weren't all alcoholics as well! Nacky (talk) 05:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Maybe they just hid it well. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 05:33, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
You may be right! :p Nacky (talk) 07:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Rename my account[edit source]

Could you please rename my Uncyclopedia account from GeoffreyT2000 to GTrang? My Wikipedia account was renamed, and now I would like my Uncyclopedia username to match my new Wikipedia username. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done And all your user pages have been moved to your new name. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers. MrX blow me Emoji-drool.gif 21:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
