Page Protection
Okay, so, the page Perry the Platypus (song) page, really just the "Perry the Teenage Girl" section, where non-user people vandalize it by changing "nerotic" (which will be used, since we don't know the true thing they say, and Close Captioning & TV.com put it as "nerotic") to profanity words. Can you please protect it so that only users with names can edit it, PLEASE? Also, it would be a good idea to do the same with other pages constantly being vandalized and also featured articles. We can add a protected lock image to the eras thing, and I'm going to create templates to add to the talk page top to demonstrate that the page is an Article of the Month and stuff. Please respond quickly, please. Thanks. --SuperFlash101 20:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The Perry song lyric should be semi-neurotic, which in very simple terms means to imply that Candace is half-crazy. It was changed ONCE to "semi-erotic" and that was nearly two months ago. The last time an IPuser made the edit, s/he corrected the spelling to neurotic. That's it. Nothing to get upset over. We don't have any pages that get "vandalized constantly" in my opinion. I put a block on creating a Phinbella page since that was actually getting a lot of abuse, but nothing else I've seen rises to a level of needing protection. —Topher 05:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Template Spacing
Can you PLEASE fix the templates so that they're not so spaced when they're added to an article, PLEASE? It really peeves me off when it shows it that way, because it looks so bad. PLEASE fix it. --SuperFlash101 21:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it has to do with the padding on the boxes or that they have a space after their last line of code, but why is this a problem? I think they look fine, the problem might be solved by changing the size of the image in the templates. (100px looks pretty good to me, even on my higher than normal resolution screen.) If they were smaller boxes, the spacing out wouldn't make the article so long and might make everything look better. Also, we might be able to cut down on the number of them that we use at the top of the page. Some articles may not really need both a cleanup and a construction template on them. Something to think about. —Topher 05:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello?
Someone keeps replacing the stinkin' article of the month with the old one, and the history doesn't show who did it. I am SICK AND TIRED of having to change it, so can you please protect it from non-logged in users, because maybe that's whose doing it. And, please, RESPOND. --SuperFlash101 01:08, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * First, page is protected from unregistered users. Go ahead and put the Phineas article up there. I didn't have any of the other edits on my screen either. Not sure what's going on there. Second, I'm sorry I haven't been super-quick to respond to everything lately, but with the holidays and such, it's been a little more difficult to get on as much. Trying to keep up the best I can. Third, what are all the new templates you're posting lately? Not upset with them, just would like some notes on the talk pages as far as what they do, so other people know how to use them. —Topher 04:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay, I see. And I understand, the holidays are always hectic, sorry. What templates do you mean? Do you mean the Template:Imagelink and the templates for the talk page I made? If so, Imagelink is so people can click on it and head to a character gallery of the person. I got it from Wookieepedia, and built the template from Marvel-Movies. As for the talk page templates, the "Change decided" thing I made a while ago and it's for people to know the pages history. I got it from Wookieepedia. For the featured article thing, I just figured it would add to the templates. Star Wars Wiki does those things, so I thought it would be nice to have things like them. Oh, and if you mean the Template:Rt and Template:Rb, they were brought from Wookieepedia, but didn't work, so you can just delete them. --SuperFlash101 14:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * What were Rt & Rb trying to do? I think imagelink is nice, and I might end up doing that for several episodes that I can get decent (non-youtube, non-watermarked) screencaps of. One of these, unfortunately, will not be Out to Launch as it doesn't seem to be available on iTunes yet. —Topher 20:26, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

They were supposed to make the original template work, but it didn't work for some reason, so I just made one from a template I found on Marvel-Movies Wiki. Anyways, is that, iTunes, what you use to get those great screencaps on Hail Doofania! and stuff? Anyways, I think we should really expand and improve "Out to Launch", since the page isn't that good right now. --SuperFlash101 21:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Monaco.css on my Wikia
Okay, so I've completely replaced my wiki's monaco with that of X-Files Wiki. After that, I cleared by cache, like 5 times, and nothing changed. Do you know why this is? --SuperFlash101 21:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Go to the "Skin" area of your preferences page and make sure the "Let the admins override my skin choice" is checked. Also, underneath that is a set of Admin Options. Underneath a drop-down selection box it says, "For custom themes, select the "custom" option in the menu above and specify custom CSS in MediaWiki:Monaco.css." If these don't work, I'm out of ideas. —Topher 04:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

New Monaco Skin
Perhaps we could do a new monaco skin, the one marked as "smoke." It looks nice this way, as it kind of fits the color of the show's logo. The only difference is that where we now have blue is now yellow. Whatdya think? --SuperFlash101 14:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Changed. I would actually like to eventually change the gray part of the background to something a little darker with triangles in it like they always seem to do on the show. Also, unless something else happens, I will be working on the "Out to Launch" article even though there is still no iTunes download (which means no screencaps). —Topher 21:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

New User Block and Delete
Okay, we have just experienced a MAJOR vandalism attack, which has left a giant scar. Some new stupid IP Address has created at least a dozen made up episodes, in which he has filled with vandalism. RRabbit had added the delete tag on them all, so please delete them. I've noticed the IP Address (can't remember the number, but you can find it on the history fro the pages) that he will be blocked, likely permanently, so please do so. Thanks, and happy holidays. --SuperFlash101 18:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * All pages marked for deletion have been taken care of and the IP has been blocked. Unfortunately, it may not be the end of it if he gets another IP. I wouldn't really call 10 pages inserted and four other pages altered a MAJOR attack. Also, you may want to keep an eye on the new user Ct heroz. S/he created an account at the same time as the vandalism attack. I will be working until midnight ET tonight, but will check in if I can. —Topher 19:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
