Sig

Need help with making your sig concise, instead of copying/pasting? --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

That would be great! Volatile Dweevil

Okay, go to the top where it says MORE (next to where it says Log Out) and then click on preferences. Look where it says signature and then copy and paste this exactly as it appears: {{SUBST:User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig2}} --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Regarding Images

First of all, let me say welcome to the Piklopedia, enjoy your stay. Second, you can take screenshots yes? I've seen many of the images you've uploaded-and I'm impressed. However, the images you added to pages like Olimar's Notes, seem rather tacky with the red circle around the button to press to view the notes. Perhaps you could retake these images with the notes opened? Pikmin1254

(S)He didn't take them. [1] What's more, they got GIF-ified, somewhere along the way.GP

Oh, I feel stupid. But still, we need some better pictures for those pages. They were most likely GIF-ified in MS Paint.

Pikmin1254

Yeah, the images were GIFed in Microsoft Paint, I probably should have made them JPEG, shouldn't have I? Vol (Talk)

It depends on what's in the image, but for screenshots like those, yes. Might want to look at Help:Files.GP

Edit Dates

After adding a picture to the Scarpanid category, I couldn't help but notice that the little "last edit" message claimed that I had made an edit on January 25, 2008, before I even was a user on this wiki. Edit-Forgot to sign-- Vol (Talk)

That's because you're using Monaco, which I'm beginning to expect is a failure by design.GP

Map

Where did you get that map of the impact site from? It's pretty good Snakeboss14

admin rights on the pikmin ideas wiki?

totally unexpected Pikness34

Errrrr....... how do i create new articles in the Pikmin Ideas Wiki??? Pikness34,.The Researcher Of Fate

Um I tried getting the Achievement Badges thing for the Pikmin Ideas Wiki but You need to do it Pikness34-

Really?Pikness34,.The Researcher Of Fate

Yeah. Vol (Talk)

Hmmm... I'll try Implementing them Pikness34,.The Researcher Of Fate

Okay, it probably isn't extremely important, we could do a manual system, though it would be very nice if you could get it to work. Vol (Talk)

Mind helping at Spectrobes Fanon Wikia Vol?

Pikness34,.The Researcher Of Fate

I'll come over and see what I can do. Vol (Talk)

i will be getting pikmin 2 soon!

Cool! pikmin 2 is pretty fun. By the way, do you know about signatures? Vol (Talk)

Re:Bot

Yeah, I was going to ask after I was sure it was fine with many pages. I tested importing first, then transferring the image, and that saves the page text history properly, so do that with all the files first. I'll quickly generate a list for you to make it easier to export...here.

Yes, it worked fine. I'll need bot and admin rights on GPBot over there, admin 'cause the upload is done through URL (faster than download then upload).

Also, Peanut64 and Sir Pikmin - I'm fine to remove their admin status here, right? I mean, they were only given it because Porple didn't know which they needed it on, yes? Greenpickle

re:User and user talk pages

I just thought a lot of users wouldn't be active any more. In particular, many userpages of long-inactive users embed images that we have no other use for. I could do it if people want it done, though, yeah. Were you thinking every page, or just active users, or just pages that are linked to somewhere? Also, are you going to reply to the stuff above? GP

Yeah, I'm all for the bot, I can't make you admin you there though, Sir Pikmin and Peanut are the only 'crats. And I was just thinking user pages that are linked to for inactive users, if you could exclude active users. Also, the list above does help a lot, thanks.

Adminship

The new admin forum is up, go nominate yourself. Snakeboss14

Done. Vol (Talk)

Level 3 Punishment

I was looking back on my talk page, and I noticed that you said "previously clean record." I have no recollection of ever vandalizing the main page, and if I did, it was entirely on accident, although I really have no idea how I would have managed that. That's a bit extreme accident, even for me.Pikdude 07:21, 29 September 2010 (EDT)

See your talk page Pikidude... Ridly ^Screech! 13:14, 29 September 2010 (EDT)

Ridly, I happen to know how to use my watchlist.Pikdude 16:01, 29 September 2010 (EDT)

Congratulations

Good lob on becoming the new admin. You are probably the most deserving person for that job. Ridly ^Screech! 18:30, 20 October 2010 (EDT)
