User talk:Walkazo/Archive 5

Archives
The first eleven months. The summer of '08. The winter of discontent. The spring of squelching superfluous spaces.

Status: Busy as always. I'm going to be working five days a week all month, so my editing might be a little sporadic, but I'll do my best to stay on top of it all. If you have any questions about the Super Mario Wiki, feel free to ask away, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Section 1

Hey can you change my username from Mario freak to PeteyPiranha? Mario freak (talk)

Hey Walkazo, I just told him where to go to get a rename, so disregard his comment (By the way, when you read this, you will probably be back from your vacation. So how was it?). · SMB (Talk) · 20:50, 26 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for helping him out, SMB. As for my vacation... it stank. - Walkazo 22:14, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that... · SMB (Talk) · 22:17, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Hey Walkazo...

How can a user make a template un-editable (that is probably not a word)? Is there something like __NOEDIT__ or something like that? Or does it need to be protected? · SMB (Talk) · 22:45, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

It needs to be protected. Why do you ask? Or should I say, what do you need protected? The WikiNews template? Also, did you get permission to add all that formatting stuff to the template? It feels like something you might wanna run by Steve first. - Walkazo 22:50, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Oh, whoops. I didn't know I was supposed to ask Steve... I'll go revert my edits. · SMB (Talk) · 22:54, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Personally, I don't go near those sort of templates. - Walkazo 23:07, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Welcome back

Welcome back Walkazo. :P I'm more into editing somewhere else right now, another wiki... XP I am pretty much canceling this year's summer project due to that I realize I worked too hard just to not take a break. So... I'm taking a break for the rest of the summer, pretty much away from the wiki... even tho I make occasional edits. RAP... *waits for others to comment*

Blocking mistake

Hey Walkazo, It's Ratfink43, and you blocked Superjump4, because you thought it a sock puppet but that wasn't me it was my brother who uses the same computer as me. So can you please unblock him.

Thank you for unblocking my brother. The Flamin Dragons is not ours, it is somone elses. My brother is The Rockin Dragons, and it is a coincidence. Sorry for any confusion and have a great day!!!!!!

Hi Walkazo...

How are you? · SMB (Talk) · 01:12, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

I'm okay, though not as active as I'd like to be - things just keep popping up in RL. I heard about the whole Chat/Patroller thing, btw - tough break. - Walkazo

Ah, well that's too bad (about the not-active part). About the Chat-Patroller thing, eveything has calmed down now, so that's good. Nobody has really mentioned it, and I'm going to stay clear of chat for awhile now. · SMB (Talk) · 01:26, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

That's part of the reason I'm glad I can't go on Chat: one little mistake can kill you. That's true pretty much everywhere, but on Chat, it's like they're waiting to eat you alive (when they're not being ADD about everything). Or at least that's the impression I've gotten from reading transcripts and whatnot. - Walkazo

Yeah. I might ask to get a repromotion now that the situation has died down, but whether I get promoted or not doesn't matter, I've been a "regular" user for most of my time on the wiki and it isn't that bad. What do you think on the matter? I'm just not sure if I'd be making a mistake... · SMB (Talk) · 01:46, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

You should wait some time before asking, since your original decision to resign would just look rash if you immediately turn around and ask for the power back. Also, if you're fine with being a "regular" user, you might not even find the need to ask - if you're willing to wait, we'll probably repromote you sooner or later on our own grounds (i.e. next time we need a new admin.). I make no promises, but I'll be sure to mention you're up for the job once/now that the Chat incident's water under the bridge. - Walkazo

True, ok. Thank you Walkazo. :) By the way, I notice on your page that you think one of the hardest levels in Super Mario Sunshine is one of the Sirena Beach levels. Do you also think that the second roller-coaster water-balloon popping one in Pinna Park is a bit hard too? I know for certain that I did. · SMB (Talk) · 02:15, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

No problem! I love anything roller-coaster (or flight)-themed, so I didn't really pay attention to the difficulty of the Pinna Park levels: as far as I was concerned they were simply fun! Anyway, I'm going offline now, so talk to you later! - Walkazo

Cool. Anyway, goodnight. I'm probably about to go offline myself anyway. · SMB (Talk) · 02:30, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

My Redirect

Hey, Walkazo. I realize that my redirect was not capitalized. Many redirects are not capitalized, and for a reason: so users can access articles with ease and not have to capitalize all the letters when they search for it. --YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Help on user boxes!

Hi, Walkazo! I want to put user boxes on my user page, but I don't know how to, and the help page isn't detailed enough for me to understand what to do. So can you give me a good explanation on how to put on user boxes?--fawfulfury65 19:45, 2 August 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Thanks for the help!--fawfulfury65 09:46, 4 August 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

I'm glad I could be of assistance. - Walkazo 00:44, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Am I a good user?

Hi, Walkazo. I was working on minigame puns and name derives. I am still good, right? Chris Helper 7:58 P.M., 3 August 2009 (EDT)Chris Helper

Hey Walkazo...

Could you unprotect the images Image:YIDS_Babies.jpg and Image:Luigismansion-01.jpg as they are not Featured Images anymore? · SMB (Talk) · 18:40, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

I unprotected the YIDS babies, but Yoshario already dealt with Image:Luigismansion-01.jpg (if you use a colon before "image", it comes out as a link, not the image itself; just do [[:Image:THIS.see]]. It also works with categories). - Walkazo 18:56, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Okay, thank you for showing me how to link to images (I was having a hard time with that) and unprotecting the YIDS image (I needed to add the FI template). · SMB (Talk) · 18:59, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

No problem. - Walkazo 19:11, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Hi Walkazo, I erased my proposal and replaced it with a new one. I'm just letting you know. · SMB (Talk) · 20:49, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

I know. - Walkazo 21:05, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Help on Youtube

On the help page it says you need to figure out a videos ID in order to put a Youtube video on your User page. But, I have no idea how to figure out a videos ID. Is it on or near the video? Do you need to have a youtube account? Ratfink43

Never mind, I just figured out how 2. Ratfink43

That's good, 'cause I couldn't have helped you out on that one. Userpage stuff is not my forte, and I keep videos away from my poor old computer with a five-foot poll. - Walkazo 21:05, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Hey

Hey It's Me Mario7727 Do You Want To Talk To Me??? Can We Talk???Do You Want Me To Add You To My Friend List???PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE RIGHT AFTER YOU READ THIS.Ok.PLEASE.Mario7727.Mario7727 (talk)

Well, I don't make friends lists because I try to get along with everyone equally, and I usually hold these sort of conversations on my talk page only for convenience' sake (I'm a lazy wench). If you're cool with that, sure we can talk. - Walkazo 01:20, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Whoa

OK, you're my best friend on at the moment. Anyhow, I just feel the need to show someone how many bites I just added to MASATOG, check the recent changes! Marioguy1 (talk)

Really? I'm touched. Cool; we need more M&S coverage, and all the coding looked good. Nice work! - Walkazo 01:20, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Well there was a lack of circuit information and I think that it needs to be documented so I don't have to go to my game every time I want to improve an event. M&S is one of my long term projects that I'm working on. Marioguy1 (talk)

Good to hear you're dedicated to your projects. Maintenance work is my project, though I have a few other things I can work on when I've run out of gnomework to do on RecentChanges. - Walkazo 01:43, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

I did the math and in total I added 2,674 bites to the article. I also help with maintenance when I can. You know, typing errors? Marioguy1 (talk)

P.S. There are several things in Category:To be deleted

Neat. It's sorta funny because most people strive for adding large amounts of bytes, whereas I try to remove them - there's nothing more satisfying for me than to remove enough extra spaces so that the edit is bolded. And thanks for the To Be Deleted tip! - Walkazo 18:52, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Babel

I'm trying to set up a Babel section for Hebrew. Can you please help?

Ralphfan>>Or direct me to a sysop who's able to do this, in case you've gotta do something else?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner (I'vee been really busy in RL), but it looks like you got the Hebrew Babel section working just fine on your own. - Walkazo 21:54, 22 August 2009 (EDT)
