Hello
Hi RRabbit42 I want to be friends with you and how do you use IRC chat. phierbalistic 08:36, November 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Directions on how to get into the IRC and brief instructions on how to use it are on the IRC page. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:43, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi RRabbit42! Do you know about polls, how do you do it? And is it in the Templates. I really Desprate to know how to do it. Michel Out.......Peace Baljeet 1-0 Michelpacheo1 20:30, November 30, 2010 (UTC)Out Peace


 * Polls look like this:

Title of the poll poll option #1 poll option #2 third poll choice 4th poll option


 * You can have as many choices as you want. You just have to remember that once you save the poll, you can't change it. Any change to the title or the choices creates a new poll and the voting starts over. Doesn't matter if it's as small as changing one letter or adding a period. That makes a new poll. Use the Preview button to make sure the poll looks right before you save it. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:54, December 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * But How Do You Make The Poll? Michel out......Peace! Candace 1-9 Michelpacheo1 14:30, December 1, 2010 (UTC)Peace


 * You make the poll by copying the example above and changing the values. For example, if I change "Title of the poll" to "What color do you like" and then change the rest of the values to colors, the poll would look like this:

What color do you like? Red Green Blue Orange Yellow Cyan Purple Pink


 * And the poll would then become active, like this:

What color do you like? Red Green Blue Orange Yellow Cyan Purple Pink


 * If you are talking about how do you come up with ideas for polls, then that's up to you to make it about whatever you want. Or, you can ask for help with ideas about polls on a specific topic. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:17, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Too bad
Well I managed to log in to IRC but I keep getting disconnected for some reason by the way try the game called bubble tanks phierbalistic 12:07, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ok thanks for letting me know. I'm new on an acount and I'm not the best at using electoronics.

WHERE ARE THE VOTES
Hi RRabbit42 do you know about votes are the in the templates or in a diffrent place.212.129.93.131 17:56, December 2, 2010 (UTC) Kaylacspor


 * Voting is typically done in a Forum. We do not have any templates for voting. We usually just create new sections for the Yes (support) and No (oppose) votes, with any optional comments in another section. If you just want to see how many people will vote on a subject and you don't need to keep track of who voted (it isn't for anything formal or official), a poll works just as well. See the example I gave above for how to create a poll. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:19, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Covering the mouth
I'm sorry I created the covering mouth thing.Don't worry,I won't do it again.Instead,I will edit real articles in the Phineas and Ferb wiki. I apoligize (post back).


 * If you're willing to stop as you say you are, then the matter is resolved. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:47, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

A little help?
Hey Rabbit, what's up with the "External Sponsor Links" section at the bottom of the pages? Please get back. (and why cant you edit them) I AM THIS USER!! 13:34, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's a new section that automatically gets added to each page if you are not signed in to your account. Wikia is trying to generate ad revenue by making it more visible how you can buy/sponsor ads. I need to ask them a few questions about how it works and what to do when a bad ad shows up, but in the meantime I will make a blog to let everyone know what's going on. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:35, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

see you later
I am actually nine so looks like I have to get a block till dec 18 2013 well i'm ready. phierbalistic 15:41, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * We don't block people because they are under 13. Being 13 is a requirement of COPPA. Since you have the account, just be careful in what you do here and other places online. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:31, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Moving
But how do you move busting pt 1,2,3,4, and 5 in the Fanon Wiki. Michelpacheo1 22:20, December 4, 2010 (UTC) Kaylacyusispor


 * Go to the first blog, copy the text, go over to the Fanon Wiki, create the new page and paste in the text you copied.


 * Go back to the second blog, copy the text, then go back to the page you created and add in the text there. Keep doing that for each of the blogs.


 * Most web browsers have tabbed browsing, so you can have the blogs open in one tab and the new page on Fanon open in another tab, and you won't have to save the new page each time, just after everything is pasted in.


 * When you are done, let me know and I will delete the blogs. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:01, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yessss Im finished the moving from Fannon so you can Delete now!Michelpacheo1 17:08, December 9, 2010 (UTC)g


 * The blogs have been deleted here.

Thanks
Thank you. you know any other administrator. phierbalistic 09:51, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Not sure if I should ask this but you think it's annoying or something how I keep leaving messages just want to know because I hate being annoying. phierbalistic 15:53, December 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't mind answering questions. It's how we learn, and I've learned that a lot of problems are solved ahead of time by sharing even a tiny amount of information. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 08:06, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

thank you
thanks now I get it 17:19, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Latin America
Hello friend, from Latin America are greeting with a hug of happiness, I Guier ask you, how you got the letter in green, has something to do with MediaWiki? Thanks for reading ......... - AndePhineas


 * If you mean the links being in green now instead of orange, that was a change Topher208 made to our style sheet (Wikia.css). If you mean changing the color of any text like this, that's done with a SPAN command:


 *  like this 


 * The list of colors is found here. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 08:11, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

About the create article and succession box
Just asking and telling you about the "Phineas and Ferb Wiki:Create article/Episode layout" error about the directed is still there and has to be director in the infobox episode, also what about put the season and production code number and when nothing is put there, they show the link that was based on visual basics that makes it not good to look.

Finally, the succession box that you replace now from season 1 now, so should I replace all the epbrowers to succession box in you behalf or you'll just do it on your own? Part of me was against when you replace the epbrowers to succession box in season but since your the one the admins I kinda enforce you will here while in other country shows the episodes in production order while in the US shows it random but in time they show it in production order as well. Patrickau 26 04:20, December 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll take a look at the Episode layout in a little bit. That "Season 0" thing was a result of trying to have the season number automatically create the category. Obviously it needs work and we can try to have it hide more blank fields. I still have it down to work on the Season 2 navigation, but decided to spend time working on this first, a help page that Wikia doesn't even have.


 * I'm willing to put the navigation back the way it was (and I have the notes necessary to do so and/or can dig through each page's history), but I'd really like to have proof that the production numbers for Season 2 are true. Does anyone have an official source from Disney about which episode has which production number? Swampy said at one time that he'd look into getting them to us, but he never did.


 * That's where I'm getting stuck. The production numbers mostly follow the broadcast order, with a little bit of shuffling around, which we can attribute to Disney airing the episodes when they want to instead of when they are finished. But I don't remember anyone putting in the summary line for their edit anything like "official production code as per Disney memo/website/message from Dan Povenmire/message from Jeff Marsh".


 * As an example, if you look at this edit, you'll see that "Wizard of Odd" used to have a production code of 301 and you changed it to 226. What was your basis for assigning it that number? Was it the next one available at the time? Was it from some other info? The edit summary doesn't say why it was given that number. 301 isn't correct because it's definitely not a Season 3 episode. But is 226 correct? Or is it a guess?


 * It comes back to unless we have official proof that the production codes are correct, it doesn't seem to be very useful to have navigation that relies on episode A being produced before episode B because we have no way of knowing if that's even right. This has been an issue that was sitting unresolved for a long time and I'd like to get it completed.


 * Regarding me being an admin, that doesn't mean I will always be right. If I think things should be done one way and someone else can come up with a better/more logical way of doing it, or provide information that I'm missing, I'm willing to change my mind. And, if you've read any of the policies I've written, a lot of them are designed to prevent anyone from foisting their will on everyone else. I have to abide by them, too. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:21, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

HELP
Hello i've been thinking crazy what to put on my profile page when l finally thought of ...nothing could you tell me what to put. phierbalistic 07:43, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You could put in things like book series you like, sports you like to play and some Userboxes. You should also read our User page policy see what kinds of things you should not add to your User page. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 18:32, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Spot of Diff error
I just check the "Spot the Diff" article, in the edits they had all the words and codes but in the view there is nothing in it just a complete blank. Can you fix this glitch? Patrickau 26 03:11, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that was weird. I took out a link that redirected back to that page, and now it appears that everything's okay again. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:18, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Commenting
Hey, when I tried to comment on some blogs it didn't/still doesn't show the comment I just made! Or the one before it. (it does show them in Recent Changes) and Reply just takes you to the top of the page. Bye, please fix! I AM THIS USER!! 14:04, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * You just need to Refresh the page in order for your comment to show up sometimes. It's nothing an admin can fix. Only way to fix it would be to determine exactly what causes it to happen, then send a message to Wikia so they can see the problem in action. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:49, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Woah
I recently watched this movie called a haunting sure it scared me but someone in my neighborhood died and it creeped me out what should i do. — Phierb 06:15, December 13, 2010


 * You should go talk in person with someone you're close to like your family or a teacher at school. They will be able to help you better than I can. Typewritten words by someone you just started talking to across the Internet won't work as well as talking face-to-face with another person. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:31, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

The "Sophie" is back
This good for nothing users is back again with a new account called User:Old14Sophie. I already put a block permanent template there that I know that I should not put since I'm not a admin here but since I check the IP Block list record. I guess that qualifies. Patrickau 26 14:48, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Rabbitt.......I can confirm what Patrickau26 is saying. Earlier this morning, I had mark for deletion three fake episode pages created by Old14Sophie (Admin Ryan Stoppable as since deleted those pages). In addition, I had to undo edits to three character pages which had references to these fake episodes, in addition to undoing the addition of those fake episodes to the Season 3 page. Unfortunately, Old14Sophie undid my edits for the fake episode pages (and one of the character pages that she changed), so I had to use my "rollback tool" in order to ensure that the edits by Old14Sophie are permanently undone. In addition, I did leave a warning message on this user's talk page. Patrickau26 cleaned up whatever mess was left by Old14Sophie on the Season 3 episodes page, which I confirmed. BigNeerav 14:59, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Rollback doesn't make it so that edits cannot be re-added. It just makes it easier to undo a series of edits by the same person.


 * Initially, I thought this might be a different person, but after reviewing their edits, I have confirmed that it is Sophisol and the new account has been blocked permently as recommended. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 22:56, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

what
well I saw a couple of episodes that I have no idea about on the episodes page then after some time they disappeared. OK if people vandalize some stuff and get blocked what if they create new accounts or edit without logging in?180.215.105.112 18:11, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Admins have a way of tracking the IP of the users, especially if they have created multiple user names using the same IP address for the sole purpose of vandalizing the pages here and causing other problems. The situation that you mentioned is what this is. BigNeerav 17:31, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it is not always possible to stop people from creating new accounts. We have other means than what BigNeerav mentioned of determining if the same person is making edits anonymously and/or under different names. A lot of times, those same people help us figure out that they've created a new account, and that's as specific as I'm going to be regarding our methods.


 * Creating fake episodes or adding false information isn't enough to get someone blocked. Repeatedly doing so is, and the more they keep at it, the longer the blocks become. People like this aren't interested in making the wiki better. They want to cause problems. It doesn't take long to see that and so they don't need to be here. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 23:11, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Could you please shut this blog down
RRabbit:

I understand that we have a new strictly enforced rule that shipping wars are not allowed, which I fully support. Apparently, though some members of our Wikia have not adhered to this rule, and have ressurected this old blog and is causing rivalry amongst members. Here is the link to that blog:

User blog:Phineas7897/phineas and ferb's friends are mean????????

The name calling and other rivalry-type comments (some rather aggresive) in that blog is disturbing to say the least. Therefore, could you shut down this blog and disable/delete the comments. I know there are a couple of other blogs that are similar in nature that have been created in the last couple of weeks who's purpose is the same as the above-mentioned blog and should also be shut down in the same manner. I would rather that the members of our Wikia community work together as a community with a common goal of promoting the show "Phineas and Ferb" and making our Wikia as the premiere source of information for this cartoon show. However, I WILL not support or tolerate fights amongst and between users, especially over shippings and pairings.

Please also delete this blog post, as it is causing fights amongst our members:

User blog:P&I4EVAH!/Alright, I've HAD it!

BigNeerav 13:22, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I will take a look at all of Phineas7897's blogs because I know that at least one other one had to be shut down for the same kind of problem, and I'll look at the other one. Sometimes I haven't checked blogs in a while, and other times I let them go for a bit to see if they correct themselves. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 17:31, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have disabled commenting on a couple of Phineas7897's blogs because after reviewing them, I could see that they were troll-bait. I'm not going to delete them just yet, because it may be useful for other people to see those blogs' true purpose. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 18:53, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion
Actually I kinda do want my blog (Alright, I've HAD it!) deleted. I dunno why I made it: I guess I was just angry. P&amp;I4EVAH! 18:20, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I will delete it. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 18:34, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Can you also delete this [Hot Hot Phineas]? I can't since I'm not an Admin.


 * It's been taken care of. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:20, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Reason
And that is why I never create blogs (Mostly because I'm too young and partly because I think I'm satisfied without any blog) because they somehow have some bad part in them though most don't people give bad comments.P&F trivia : Doof's first name Heinz is a tomato ketchup brand.phierbalistic 13:29, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

sure i'll do that now
