Admin "Convention"
Tomorrow we are going to try and get all the admins together at one time on the IRC to work out the Main Page issues, amongst other things. I think we should start at 2pm Eastern time (11am Pacific). We'll work for as long as we can and probably will go until Ardi can come on in the evening or as long as we are able. If this works for you, please pass the info along to RR. Other topics may include: resolution of the Featured Articles/Pictures/DYK confusion, new episode pages by unregistered users, what to do with the Community Portal, the Daily Danville, blogs, and possible contests for our users. I will be out tonight, but don't let that stop you, RR, and Ardi from talking preliminaries without me. The Main Page just needs to be resolved, as does the FA stuff. I don't really have much of an opinion on how it should all go, I just want something done. —Topher ( Talk ) 20:59, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You can let Ardi know, but since he's 12 hours later than us, he won't be able to be on at the start, and possibly not for awhile after that. He and I have already talked about it and he might not be able to show up at all. —Topher ( Talk ) 22:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Rollbacky
What do you think of this? Hope it's okay for this wiki. Phin68  talk to Phin68  22:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Quoting
No, but the Disney XDmedianet website did - Swampy told us not to quote him anyways, so this is the finished title Should we also not quote Dan P. then? felinoel ~ (Talk) 06:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * He specifically specified that particular episode title? I don't see how this is beside the point? If we don't specifically quote one person, why do we have to have everything everyone else says be exact? Shouldn't we ask or something? Because if one person says not to specifically quote him, others might as well. felinoel ~ (Talk) 09:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not talking about the episode title, I am talking about whether or not we should always unquestionably quote Dan felinoel ~ (Talk) 16:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well then its good that I already sent Swampy a message asking him to ask Dan for me because I figured you would say that. felinoel ~ (Talk) 16:17, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I know I might be late for this but, what was wrong with the Infoboxes. I saw them, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Perryfan Talk 01:43, 13 July, 2009 (UTC)
 * There was something wrong with them? I just figured either my computer or the wiki engine was doing something odd. felinoel ~ (Talk) 02:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not entirely sure, but they were showing the code instead of the result - it was some fluke Ferbot made while editing it. It's fine now.  The Flash  {talk} 03:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

How do protected pages work?
I wanted to add the next few "DC US Episode Nos." into the Season 2 table (starting with "Thaddeus and Thor" as #60 instead of TBA) but it doesn't let me edit that even when I'm logged in. I thought protecting pages just prevented non-registered IPs from making edits, or am I misunderstanding that? -- Ryan Stoppable (talk) 19:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Forum:Featured article nominations
There are a few problems that need to be fixed with the forum. Take a look at Help:Wiki-style forums and Help:Wiki-style forums set up. Follow the steps on those pages to get the correct set-up for the new FA forum. Right now, they don't preload anything and they're just set up as subpages of the main Forum page. These templates need to be created: I would have fixed it all for you, but I didn't know what they were supposed to say. If you follow the instructions on those two pages very carefully, you should have no problem getting it set up correctly. —Topher ( Talk ) 06:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Agent Double 0-0
You do know that that would probably mean 4 zeroes, right? It's 3, not 4. If it's Double-0 0, then it would be 2 zeroes, then one more, which is correct. --Zaggy (talk) 02:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Think about it. If it's "Double 0-0," it'll mean that it's two 00's. And that means 0000, whereas, if it were "Double-0 0," it would mean that it's two zeroes and one zero. And that's what Doofenshmirtz defined it as in the episode, not 0000. --Zaggy (talk) 02:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I mean that if you do 0-0, it's grouping the two zeroes, and if you do Double-0, it's double and the zero that are grouped. It means that, if it's Double-0, it'll be two 0s. If it's Double 0-0, then it'll be 0-0 0-0, or 0000. It doesn't make more sense to go against something stated right in the episode. --Zaggy (talk) 02:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's even worse. It should be either "Double 0 0," or the original. --Zaggy (talk) 02:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I guess that works.

Oh, why don't we just write "000"? That will make life a whole lot easier. Of course, we can explain in the article how the character's name should be read. --James Xeradyce 15:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I checked the end credits of the episode, it is "Double 0-0." That's what they label him as, so 0-0 is right, apparently.  The Flash  {talk} 15:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, I didn't notice that. It is kind of misleading though. By the way, I'm a new guy. I've recently edited the page "Perry the Platypus" heavily. Any feedback/suggestions/page to edit? Thanks. --James Xeradyce 15:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help. --James Xeradyce 03:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

LOL. It's just Double 0 (two 0s), + another 0. Double 0, 0. —Barbiene 15:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, the end credits spell it "Double 0-0." That's the right spelling. We finally figured it out.  The Flash  {talk} 15:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I'm not saying how it's spelled, how it's said. It seems a few people are confused. —Barbiene 15:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Unconfirmed episodes in the "Unaired Episode" section
Hey Flash!

I am just writing to inform you of some of the unconfirmed episodes (in the section "Unaired Episodes") that have been posted on the Wikia page for the show "Phineas and Ferb". I check the Wikia page every couple of days for new information on upcoming episodes and see episodes which contains information like "not much is known of this episode", or something to that effect. I have attempted to research information about some of the unconfirmed episodes that have yet to air, but cannot find much information on them.

If not much of an episode is known (especially if the source of information for that episode is questionable), then the page for that particular episode should not be created, unless 1) more information is known about that episode and 2) the source for that information is credible and reliable.

The episodes in the "Unaired Episode" section of Phineas and Ferb Wikia that are unconfirmed are as follows:


 * 1) Time Machine 2, Quantum Boogaloo
 * 2) Undercover Carl
 * 3) Unnamed Lindana episode
 * 4) Untitled Wizard of Oz parody

Little or no information has been given on this episode, and the same can be said with information that can confirm that these are actual upcoming episodes either by realiable information sources or by the creators of the show themselves, even via a thorough investigation of the unconfirmed episodes.

I know the Wikipedia page for "Phineas Ferb" used to be vandalized a lot by fans of the show who posted episodes that did not exist or were fake, and the same might be going on here with Phineas and Ferb Wikia. Please look into it and clamp down on unconfirmed episodes being posted on Phineas and Ferb Wikia. In the meantime, I will continue to monitor it for more fake or unconfirmed episodes and alert you to any that appear. If you have any questions or such, feel free to PM me back at any time. — Neerav (BigNeerav)


 * The first 3 have a footnote with a link to the interview where we learned about the episode. When we spot a fake episode, we redirect it to the 404 page, with the exception of episodes posted by one particular anonymous user, since 6 of the pages they created turned out to be legitimate Season 2 episodes. — RRabbit42 14:09, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Response to the "unconfirmed episode" post
TO: RRabbit and SuperFlash101

Thanks for the information and the quick reply to my concern. I also read the article a while back. However, that only tells us that the episodes are coming up in Season 2. The good news is that the episodes mentioned are real, so that is a big relief for me and others to see. The fear that I had was that some of the episodes were fake.......at one point, the "Unaired Episode" page was inundated with episodes that could not be confirmed either through investigation or by talking to Dan and Swampy directly (or through sources in which the two confirm that certain episodes are real). This was a ferw months back that this happened, and thankfully, you cracked down pretty good and made sure that the fake episodes are not posted. The same also happened to Wikipedia, which is not nearly as accurate as Wikia.

My only concern now is that some of the unaired episodes that have been posted are based on this article, which only confirms that some the episodes are real, and give little or no information about what the episodes will be about. If I was to make an episode page, I would make sure that there is enough information gathered about the upcoming episode (and from reliable sources) before I created the page so one can include information about the episode(s) in question, including a summary of the upcoming episode(s), maybe a couple of pictures, quotes and other tidbits, instead of making an episode page based on an article which only confirms the names of upcoming episodes, with little or no information. In that way, the episode page will be both more useful and more credible to the fans, who use that information to see what is coming up, as it would be prefered that episode pages are made, if enough information is available about the episode.

Column for Gazette
Wow, I am absolutely honored that you would ask me to write a column, and I would also be honored to accept! Although I feel I may not know exactly 100% what you'd like me to talk about. I get the new episodes and merchandise thing, but are we talking about new episodes as recently released episodes, or episodes yet to come out? Haha, I guess merch. is pretty self-explanatory. Also, as a columnist, that makes it like an opinion piece, right? As in more than reporting just facts, I can have a voice and things in my entries, correct? If I'm off please let me know - in either case, I would be happy (and quite excited) to help out. Also, what's the deadline for Issue Zero? Thanks again for the thrilling offer! -IamThePlatypus 05:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Can I Be Part of the Tri-State Gazette?
Hey! Can I be part of the .. well, you know what I mean. I can be a great contibuter to this wiki, for I-will-not-explain-yet reasons. Wouldja please answer me by August 1st? Okay --Bysinder124 01:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I saw the guest editing thing and I would love to do one. I have done some writing about Perry and can send it to you via e-mail if you would like. If there is any other work I can do for it just tell me. Thanks,--Platypuslover11 23:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Would You Like to Join the Tri-State Gazette?
I'd like to, but the problem is, I'm probably basically no good at that. I might be able to do graphics for it, though. I've already got a bunch of short gif-style animations of Perry (not that they'd be of any use...), and an animation of Phineas, so I probably could do at least part of comic strips. Btw, what would they be like? Comics of some episodes? Anyway. I'd probably be able to do the characters, and someone else could do backgrounds. I could probably digitally color the comics, if needed, too. I wouldn't be able to start for a while, though, because I'm going to Colorado for a while (although, I would be able to make a huge buffer of character drawings, though. :P). I might be able to write a few articles once in a while, though. --Zaggy (talk) 19:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. --Zaggy (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Intro info
Why? Every wiki does it, and we're all connected, so why be different? It doesn't make sense why that info has to be at the bottom and not the introduction. Do not remove it, or if you do, in the words of Michael Jackson you're gonna wanna be startin something, and I don't want edit wars. If it's an unspoken rule,. how was I supposed to know about it if it's not in the rules? Also, it's a double standard considering you do that for everything else like characters and locations?

If you're going to feed me bull****, don't revert my edits!--Jack&#39;s Posse Fic 17:57, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Response to above comment: I think it is a good idea, and may get rid of redundancies in the information posted for each episode, and thereby makes the episode page cleaner. Sorry, but I have to agree with Flash here, especially since I am working on editing all of the episode pages for Season 1. And by the way, if you are going to disagree with someone, do so in a civilized manner, instead of resoirting to insults and bad language. (BigNeerav)

But starting immediately with episode sumarries makes no sense, and other wikia admins told me to do it. When you introduce yourself, don't you tell them WHO YOU ARE??? The same applies here--Jack&#39;s Posse Fic 18:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I do not know how it is done on other Wikis, but every Wiki that I have seen runs in a different manner. I am not sure if there is a set format overall for Wikis, but if there isn't any set standard, and there is therefore no correct way to format things, then I see no problem. But then again, I am not an Admin, and would have one of them address this issue with you. However, if there is certain way in which episode pages or character pages or whatever should to be formatted or displayed on this Wiki, then it is up to the Admins to make sure that the pages are displayed in those manners, and let the rest of us in the community know that this is the way that the pages will look like and to make sure that the format remains as such. (BigNeerav)

Homepage needs to be updated.
Hey Flash!

I was just looking at the homepage, and the section "What's New on the Show" has not been updated yet with the episodes that aired today ("The Baljeatles" and "Vanecessary Roughness", which aired on Saturday, July 25th) or the ones that will air next weekend ("Spa Day" and "No More Bunny Business", which will air Saturday, August 1st). In addition, since "Vanecessary Roughness" and "The Baljeatles" have already aired today, you should also update the "Episode Progression" section of the homepage as soon as you can so it can be up-to-date with the latest information on the next episode or episodes that will air next Saturday.

That is all I have for now. Have a great day, and, as always, let me know if you need anything.

Trying to Post
I have written an article for the Gazette, and have been trying to post it to, as you suggested, my blog with a spoiler tag, for the past hour. I have tried everything I can think of to find out how these tags work, but cannot figure it out. I am just wondering how to post it to my blog using. I can't seem to figure it out. I do have a pretty good article written though. At least I'm proud of it. XD -IamThePlatypus 16:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Flash, I see that the Tri-State Gazette has been created. I saw that you might need more users. How may I help? I come to the wikia everyday even though I have been more at my wikia, but I have done more edits on the last few days so I'll be more active. --Perryfan 00:00, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi Flash. I was trying to subscribe to the newsletter but it keeps redirecting me to the page that only lists the subscribers.  I've tried many times even using different short-cuts ,even on different PCs but still the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is it the computer?--Platypuslover11 01:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh! I didn't think of that. I thought that it would be like signing up for a user where there is a blank box to fill in. It makes sence now. Thanks!--Platypuslover11 01:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

PF-Project Songs and Tunes
Hey Flash, just wanted to update you on PF-Project Songs and Tunes. We have been able to organise ourselves and assign each project member a section of the songs to edit (you are maintaining bands and their songs). I was wondering if you could help us promote the project by putting a little something about it in the Tri-State Gazette. I have already mentioned the Project in Community News on the Main Page, and we were just hoping you could arrange for the Project to be included in the next newspaper. That's all for now.

Doofenshmirtz task force
Hey, Flash. What exactly is the Doofenshmirtz task force,curious. Thanks-- Avatar Talk 21:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Not accepting your apology
Unfortunately, it is too late to apologize. You have already lost my respect both as a higher authority of this Wiki community, and as a friend. Not only what you said was hurtful, but the way you said it made it worse. Not to be crass or anything, but you are letting your Admin/Co-Editor position get to your head, and that is clouding your judgement and view of things. I stand by my concern that I mentioned before.......that this is NOT an effecient way of doing things. I only did it because I care about the welfare of the paper (as I do our Wikia community) Many times, I have seen people gain a position of power/authority, and all of a sudden, they act like they are they are always right or act like "they're all that", and are very stubborn to accept criticism or suggestions because they feel that they position will be challenged, but in reality, those pepole don't fare to well in the long-term. Maybe if you got down from the mountain, you will be able to better see the reality of the situation. Accusing someone of "overreacting" because they express a valid concern (and add some suggestions on how to improve it) is not only a BAD way to communicate to that person, but is a QUICK way to have that person lose respect of you.

At this point, I could really care less what happens to the newsletter/newspaper, ESPECIALLY if what I mentioned ends up being a problem/liability down the road. Since I am not a staff member of the paper, my hands are already clean of any liability that I have, and since you are Co-Editor, this will end up being YOUR mess to clean up.

I am done. I have a lot of work to do now. That is all. BigNeerav 21:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Jumping the gun
Flash, please check the previous contributions of IP visitors before labelling what they do as vandalism. If it's only been 1 or 2 times that they've done this and what they add is minor enough, that doesn't warrant labelling them as a vandal.

The specific one I just changed was for a user that created a new page and put in "poop!". Of all the things that could have been done, that's about the most harmless thing of all.

Evaluate what they do and adjust the wording on your admonishment accordingly. If it's something minor like this, give them a "please don't do that" notice. If it goes beyond that to "they're really being annoying with this" and/or they are a repeat offender, then you tell them the consequences of their actions: they will be blocked. If it's major, such as hate speech or profanity, then lay down the law. My personal rule is that those last two earn an automatic two-week block.

We try to keep personal opinion out of the article pages. Please evaluate the severity of the "contribution" (such as it is), and try to do the same. — RRabbit42 16:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That IP made a page that was spam - I told them to not do it again and if they continued to spam they'd be blocked for a little bit. I do not see the harm at all in this. I understand I've had issues with biting in the past, but this time was completely harmless and I was doing my job. How was I jumping the gun here?  The Flash  {talk} 17:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Without going through the deletion logs, the Contributions log shows that this person has made exactly one edit. This was the page you deleted. You bit the user by labelling it as vandalism, when there has been no history of vandalism. Creating a new page that says "poop" is about a 0.5 on a scale of 0 to 10 in terms of vandalism. It's a nuisance, but nothing more, and it could be much worse.


 * I have seen you do the same thing a few times over the past week: a first or second offense gets the harsh label of vandalism. This is why I decided to post this message.


 * As I said above, please moderate your statements and make sure they are appropriate for the offense. Keep them matter-of-fact. Labelling something as vandalism should be reserved for obvious cases of vandalism. Minor nuisances, especially by first-time offenders, need to receive a softer admonishment. This is why the NotOkay template is worded as it is. It's a gentle notice that we did not appreciate what the person did.


 * When someone becomes a repeat offender, then you can skip the gentle notice and tell them "don't do that again, or else". Or, if they start off with a really offensive edit, then you can bring out the vandalism branding iron. But for the first-time offenders, we don't need to brand them as a vandal. — RRabbit42 17:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So you're saying spamming is nothing? I told them not to do it again, and if they did it a lot they'd be blocked for a short period of time. I did it calmly - if we're not gonna do anything about this kind of level of spam then I don't agree. I warned them, a little bit, telling them to not do it again, and now you're telling me I did a terrible thing? I understand you, but I was not biting. You do this too, just because it was a lower threat of vandalism I'm being accused of overreacting?  The Flash  {talk} 18:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But, wait, so I never use the NotOkay template unless it's big vandalism? Even if it's small it's still vandalism and I find you're taking it a bit too lightly, with no disrespect at all on your part.  The Flash  {talk} 18:02, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If fixed the message - sorry, I didn't mean to bite and was just saying something briefly to summarize the facts to this person. Is it better now? Thanks!  The Flash  {talk} 18:07, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

What you've got in there right now is fine and is appropriate for what they did. The NotOkay template can be used at any time and fits in with what you said.

I agree with you. Spam is not nothing. What I was taking issue with is how you handled it. You could have left out calling it vandalism because this was a first offense.

I looked at the Contributions from that IP address. Right now it shows zero edits, which means that the only things they've ever done on this wiki was creating the page which you had to delete. The "Deleted user contributions" page shows they've made exactly two edits, both on the page you deleted. This does not qualify as a history of vandalism.

Looking through my notes, I see that there was a couple of instances of gibberish being put into a song page from a nearby IP address back in June. At the moment, there isn't enough of a pattern to determine if this is the same person. So I'm going to treat this as a separate incident for the moment.

What I was trying to point out is that labelling this one instance of spam as vandalism is like telling a child the first time it lies to you that they're going to become a pathological liar for the rest of their life. Every kid lies at least once in their life, if for no other reason than to see what happens when they do it. It isn't until you see repeat behavior that you can decide whether such a statement is justified or not.

Yes, I will wield the admin club when necessary. But before I pick that up, I make a determination whether I need to, or whether a different response is needed, like flicking them on the ear. That's what I'm asking you to do as well. — RRabbit42 18:30, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to mark down to check the POV page when I create pages like the newsletter pages. I forgot about that. — RRabbit42 19:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. In fact, I don't even think it's on POV, it's just against the general, unwritten rules of it, ya know?  The Flash  {talk} 19:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. I can add it to my collection of text files that help me with creating and editing the wiki. I've got ones with tags, tables, quotes & references, fan fiction, etc. — RRabbit42 19:55, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Just curious, do you read edit summaries before you undo an edit? felinoel ~  (Talk)  05:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was actually referring to your trigger happy undoing, you stated Jeet was never called that, when the previous edit sourced it; if the source was too vague for you or something you could have asked for a little more description as to its location before stating that Jeet was NEVER called that, when he was. I posted this query before I noticed your correction to yourself in the talk page. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  18:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You didn't even check? You just assumed someone did it to vandalise? o.o
 * felinoel ~  (Talk)  01:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't believe you didn't check... although whenever anything is edited here, I get an email and I can view all the changes made since I last looked at it, so I would never have your problem, because I check... felinoel  ~  (Talk)  01:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Rich Text Editor
Flash, you know how I turn on the Rich Text editor. I've tried it before, but I want to give it a try.  Perryfan   (TALK)  23:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Excessive edits by a user: spam/vandalism suspected
Hey Flash!

I looked at the "Recent Changes" log for today (August 14, 2009) and there is a lot of suspicious edit activity that I saw by one user (I won't mention the user's name here) in which that user was "Adding Categories". If you go on there for that date, you see a lot of activity that this userfor "Adding Categories". I did not take a closer look as to what was done by this user, since I will leave that up to you and the other Admins to investigate, but it affected several pages, with one page bearing a major brunt of the damage. Please look into this and take whatever appropriate actions that needs to be taken against this user.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let me know. Thanks!

Suspected vandalism/spam by excessive edits
Flash,

The "Recent Changes" page is pretty slow to load up for some reason (and will take too long to post the link to ever page or act done), but from what I can see, this looks like pictures added to some of the galleries of the pages, but what I am not sure about, which makes me suspicious, is whether any of the edits via "Adding Categories" was even necessary. I took a small, random sample of the work done by the user in question, and analyze what has been done, and it looks like the person is adding pictures to some of the galleries for songs and episodes. Because there were so many edits done in a row by this user, that raised an immediate red flag as to what is going on. Again, the question comes as to whether any of these edits for "Adding Categories" were even needed, and if not, how bad is the damage caused by this user. Right now, it is pretty good, being that it extends over multiple pages (songs and episodes).

I will try to go deeper into this, if you want me to do so, because I am usually VERY weary of a user (regular or anonymous) making multiple edits in a row to one or more pages. Please let me know if I can be of any further help on this matter. Thanks!

- Hey Flash!

Thanks for responding. I prefer to be cautious, but I never overdo things, as you say I do, such as overreact and in this case, be "overcautious". This was not overcautiousness, I looked at the "Recent Changes" log and saw a lot of edits in a row by a user and got suspicious. But I am glad we got it resolved, and the edits were good ones (I suspected they were, but was not sure). Hoepfully, the user in question can find more pictures for the galleries.......some of the pages for the epsiodes have "NO" pictures at all, which is a shame. In fact, some of the episode pages have "NO" pictures at all. Since the user in question is getting that done, that should be someting to be done, if we can get other users organized to help us out, which would be nice. It would be nice if we can get pictures done for the episodes, songs, characters and such. It's up to you how you want it to get it done, and how important this is, but, as I said, if we can get people to work on this aspect, that would be great! BigNeerav 02:06, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Galleries are a relatively new concept, which is why not every episode has a full gallery, and not everyone is able to get pictures of the episodes, which is why not everone is doing that. felinoel  ~  (Talk)  15:07, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
