Re: Concern for other users

As RicketyTrigger is not available, I would like to answer on his behalf.

I suspect that many of these new "users" are in fact spambots and as such have no intention other than to flood the wiki with their nonsensical advertisements (assuming that they are actually advertising anything- most of them are too incoherent to understand). I have alerted Starphoria and Maxite about this and am trying to block as many spambots as I can. I will be sure to mention your suggestion to them whenever I have the opportunity, though it may be a good idea to tell them yourself to be on the safe side. Until then, keep up the good work.--Anothrgamer1234 09:19, 3 July 2012 (MDT)

I took a look at your proposal. It seems pretty good, but there's one problem- it doesn't prevent the spambots from adding nonsense to their userspace, just the mainspace (which they seem to be ignoring so far, thankfully). However, that doesn't mean we can't rule it out just yet. Is the autoconfirm system the only defense MarioWiki has against spambots or does it use something else as well?--Anothrgamer1234 21:04, 5 July 2012 (MDT)

Translation

Take a look at the opening sentence on this page. Information in parentheses should be limited, so Wikipedia takes this standpoint for alternate names. I support this and will continue making edits to pages in this format. And another thing, please be sure to bold titles of pages in the opening sentences when they first appear, along with the Japanese alt. translation. CancerClaw12 16:42, 3 July 2012 (MDT)

Well that is strange the page does do a literal. Anyways, be sure to put that "Know in Japan" thing there to avoid confusion. CancerClaw12 16:44, 3 July 2012 (MDT)
Here's a better link: Bullet Bill CancerClaw12 16:46, 3 July 2012 (MDT)
Ok, I can fix those. Anyways as I told Awesomegamer you can respond on your talk page, you don't have to message me back. CancerClaw12 07:28, 4 July 2012 (MDT)

Patroller Rights

Hello, I was wondering if you would like Patroller rights? Your contributions have been appreciated thus far. --Starphoria (C·E) 17:25, 10 July 2012 (MDT)

Special:ListGroupRights - scroll down to Patroller. I've given you the rights. --Starphoria (C·E) 02:51, 12 July 2012 (MDT)

Re: AR Card info

I've checked the information with my own tests. I can say for sure that the stats are correct, even if they are rather nonsensical. The stats can be checked by triggering the Card Battle function; to do this, just place two cards so the black arrows at the cards' bottoms are touching each other. Of course, this brings up several other questions about how the cards don't reflect the characters' actual abilities (like how Magnus can defeat Dark Lord Gaol in a Card Battle, yet still lose to a Mik), but the logic behind the assignment of stats to each character is not important to the wiki.--Anothrgamer1234 22:39, 11 July 2012 (MDT)

Redirects

I can answer this one, seeing as I'm online. A redirect page consists entirely of the following content: #REDIRECT [[Chosen Page]] Toast Wii U U.pngltimatumSwadloon.png 02:51, 12 July 2012 (MDT)

Create a new page of desired title, then put that coding in the new article. Toast Wii U U.pngltimatumSwadloon.png 03:11, 12 July 2012 (MDT)

New Pages

I may be able to make these pages. What I do need though is a image for it. I'll start with Juggernaut. IceBlue[E] 15:37, 19 July 2012 (MDT)

Images are tricky to find. I suggest we leave them blank and wait until official artwork is released on the Official Site. Or if not, using AR Cards is the next best thing. If you want these, just tell me and I can easily get them.

JORDAN DEBONO 00:35, 20 July 2012 (MDT)

No AR cards are a bad idea. The Aurum Palm AR card seems to be the only image I can find, but it is lowquality. IceBlue[E] 00:41, 20 July 2012 (MDT)

Then I suggest waiting until Nintendo finally release their official artwork. It's just a matter of time. Until then, putting up the "Missing Image" notice is the only thing left to do. Otherwise, the Kid Icarus Wikia has screenshots of our wanted pictures, although both a unclear and messy. If you ever decide on something, just tell me and I'll upload.

Opinion

Are you on board with the change to the color linking to the purple shown on Skyworld? It order to change the link colors we need a consensus. IceBlue[E] 14:50, 23 July 2012 (MDT)
If you mean the hyperlink colours which barely show on those notices, then yes I'm certainly on board. Where can I help?

Regarding Arms Altar

I don't think anyone has touched that article in some time, and before release we believed the Arms Altar was the hub. But you're right, Palutena's Temple is the main hub, so go ahead and change it if you like. And also thanks a lot for your contributions on this wiki. I apologize that I haven't been very active lately. -RicketyTrigger 01:14, 25 July 2012 (MDT)-

Now that I have the go ahead from the EiC, I will certainly do it. Its a pleasure to contribute here. We may be a small wiki but we share one goal: To make this place better for all. This is what keeps me here. I'm very glad you appreciate my contribs,

Multiplayer stages

Hey Jordan,

Thanks for the message! Glad I could help.

Go ahead and do what you want with the pages. I had seen that you got a start on some of them, so my primary goal was to just get the pages set up and get some basic info down and let you and whoever else fix them up or add whatever.

Also yeah, dark fighters are cool! I prefer them over the light ones just because they look cooler and have better personalities (or so the idol says). Let me know if there's anything in particular you need help with and I'll see what I can do.

Hide the spam

I am aware that you have gone on a hiatus here because you like to use Recent Changes to monitor the activity, but Recent Changes has become covered in spam. However, if, on Recent Changes, you click on the drop-down menu, click User, and then tick the box reading Invert Selection, it will hide it. Hope this helps, and that you can begin to edit the wiki again. Toast Wii U U.pngltimatumSwadloon.png 16:42, 5 September 2012 (MDT)

Thanks ToastUltimatum, although I'll only be able to edit during weekends now since school started -_- Good luck fighting the spam, JORDAN DEBONO 08:43, 1 October 2012 (MDT) ps if I can help in any way, please tell me.
There's no fighting to be done on the spambots, we can't stop them from registering without blocking the whole of China, but they can't make userpages. If we hide their creations from Recent Changes, they're meaningless. Also, I have noticed that you can save this URL to your favourites [1], and you'll instantly load the wiki with the spam hidden.

Inactivity

Hello. It's been a while since you've been seen here on Icaruspedia. You have not made a significant contribution since 2012, so I'm wondering if you're still able to maintain your administrative roles. The server issues have been cleared and spam has been taken care of. You don't necessarily have to edit, but you should pop in every now and then to take part in discussions and handle situations when they arise. You can also join the Discord that is linked to in the sidebar.

If you do not respond, your roles will be removed at the end of July. But even if so, you will be welcomed back if you feel like you have the time to continue your duties. Alex95Sig1.pngAlex95Sig2.png 21:19, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since you did not respond or shown any activity, your roles have been removed. You will be welcomed back should you find the time to continue contributing. Alex95Sig1.pngAlex95Sig2.png 18:39, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
