Adminship rights
Give them to me. I need it for import and export Explain to me why pages like Donkey Kong are instantly imported that fast?-- Mega  Tron1  XD   20:48, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

I was also admin at the DK Wiki, so if you could, I would like to be grandfathered over. Omega Tyrant 20:43, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

What the heck has happened to this wiki? It is completely copied from Donkey Kong Wikia and it is a big mess. Why did this mess happen? Slipknot Darkrai 17:47, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * How is it a mess? --Porplemontage 17:49, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

There is entirely all pages copied from Donkey Kong Wikia. Can I be a sysop and help cleanup this entire mess? Slipknot Darkrai 17:51, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * I don't know about that. Your request isn't faring too well. --Porplemontage 17:54, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

Yeah I suppose so.... I wanted to use those adminship power to cleanup this wiki's imports and completely restyle it. SO that is what happened. BTW, those requests were from a few weeks ago. Slipknot Darkrai 17:58, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * (edit conflict)
 * What? Why would you need those powers to "clean up" a page? Do not be power hungry, you're not getting admin powers any time soon. Porple, did I get my rights back yet? HavocReaper48 18:01, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Right, but the decision is up the the other admins. --Porplemontage 18:00, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

I need them because this wiki is a total mess. I need all of the pages to be deleted. Slipknot Darkrai 18:02, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Are you insane? --Porplemontage 18:04, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

What why am I insane for saying that? Slipknot Darkrai 18:05, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Needing all the pages to be deleted? Please don't vandalize the wiki! --Porplemontage 18:10, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

This wiki is an exact duplicate of Donkey Kong Wikia. Why? Slipknot Darkrai 18:11, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Because the wiki is moving... --Porplemontage 18:13, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

Oh Okay then, BTW can I change the script on pages on this wiki? Slipknot Darkrai 19:45, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * That'll mess up page contents if you do it wrong, which you likely will. Seems obvious because you honestly don't know Wiki coding or why this is a duplicate :/-- Mega  Tron1  XD  Decepticon.png 23:58, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Cuz itza better then Wikia yeah it is--Emboar 19:56, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Uh
I'm confused right now... I went to Bulbapedia's MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage thing and figured we could do the same here, but it's not working? Our MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage is not updating? HavocReaper48 22:58, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * There was a bug with that and I just changed our main page title manually. --Porplemontage 23:16, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Thanks but that's not the slogan I wanted... I would prefer " Donkey Kong Wiki, with more DK info than Cranky Kong can offer ". &#39;&#39;&#39;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Magneto;&quot;&gt;&#91;&#91;User:HavocReaper48&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;color:orangered;&quot;&gt;--Havoc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:darkred;&quot;&gt;Reaper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:red;&quot;&gt;&#39;48&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93; 23:22, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * ...and my sig just messed up too? HavocReaper48 23:24, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

Your sig is messed up because you didn't check to Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link). --Porplemontage 23:24, 29 October 2010 (EDT)
 * I was wondering what that meant. Not used to this "NIWA" format. Also we need an update to the css/js: the option to reduce youtube embed length/widths? (main page's is much larger than the wikia version, which is not good).  --Havoc Reaper  48  00:07, 30 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Thanks! --Porplemontage 01:10, 30 October 2010 (EDT)

Where is the "Upload a new version of this file"? -- Carulosu 13:06, 30 October 2010 (EDT)
 * You got it! --Porplemontage 14:33, 30 October 2010 (EDT)

Why
Why is everyone here instead of on Donkey Kong Wikia? Slipknot Darkrai 16:57, 31 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Last I checked, the wiki is leaving Wikia. --Porplemontage 17:36, 31 October 2010 (EDT)
 * If you would prefer to use the old wikia, SD, then feel free to do so.-- Vincent   Tran  ParatroopaSMW.gif 17:39, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

"Unpatrolled" edits
Uh, do we have a patroller system or what? I see "unpatrolled" marks all over Recent Changes.  --Havoc Reaper  '48  22:59, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
 * Some edits are patrolled and some aren't. Hit diff and scroll down to mark as patrolled. --Porplemontage 23:29, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

polls, but on smashwiki
While this is the Dk wiki, I had no other way to contact you. Do you know what happened to the polls on SmashWiki? They don't work, and while I've asked Miles and OT, they can't answer.-- Vincent   Tran   00:05, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
 * That poll extension had some security issues. Right now PollDaddy is the best option. --Porplemontage 00:12, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
 * I was about to say that I saw that OT asked you about this, but thank you for responding-- Vincent   Tran  ParatroopaSMW.gif 00:14, 2 November 2010 (EDT)

I think the sidebar's missing something...
...like, the "create new page" option?  --Havoc Reaper  '48  17:47, 5 November 2010 (EDT)
 * It never had that option. --Porplemontage 18:28, 5 November 2010 (EDT)
 * It did on the Donkey Kong Wikia.  --Havoc Reaper  '48  18:32, 5 November 2010 (EDT)
 * Wikia has a ton of features we don't have. --Porplemontage 13:38, 6 November 2010 (EDT)
 * There are options tho, Special:WantedPages can be linked to with the alt text saying "Create New Pages" like: Create New Pages Also, you could do something like we did at WiKirby (click to see)] using a simple code: "10" can be changed to however many you want displayed. It generates this:

Countdown Template
Hello Porplemontage! I was hoping that if its not too much trouble, you'd be willing to install this countdown template code to the wiki, we'd really appreciate it! If not then I understand. - The Forgotten  Beast   23:58, 12 November 2010 (EST)
 * You really don't need an extension just to implement some JavaScript. Try this:
 * January 01 2011 00:00:00 PST
 * --Porplemontage 02:37, 13 November 2010 (EST)


 * THANK YOU! XD - The Forgotten  Beast  TFBMS.gif 08:50, 13 November 2010 (EST)

Licensing
We apparently lack it.-- Mega  Tron1  XD   10:32, 24 November 2010 (EST)
 * The license is Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported. --Porplemontage 11:10, 24 November 2010 (EST)

Vector skin
Is that customizable as well?  --Co vah  13:59, 28 November 2010 (EST)
 * Yes it is. MediaWiki:Vector.css, same idea as Monobook. --Porplemontage 14:08, 28 November 2010 (EST)

Spamming attacks
Hey, can you enable the captcha newly registered on this Wiki as well? It too is under a mass spamming attack. Omega  Tyrant   23:14, 26 January 2011 (EST)


 * Yep. --Porplemontage 23:35, 26 January 2011 (EST)
 * Also enable the ability to allow blocked users to edit their talk page as well. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 00:28, 27 January 2011 (EST)


 * K. --Porplemontage 12:09, 27 January 2011 (EST)

Change my name
To Emboar-140

--Emboar 19:57, 11 May 2011 (EDT)


 * That's up to the other bureaucrats, not me. --Porplemontage 04:30, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Special:Webchat issue
It still links to the Freenode channel #wikia-dk when it should link to Gamesurge's #dk channel, can you change that?  --Havoc Reaper  22:27, 27 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Sure. --Porplemontage 04:30, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
 * It is working properly now. Thank you. Doc tor  Pain  99  [[file:DoctorPain99.png|19px]] 10:08, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Monaco
Could you put the Monaco skin on for DKWiki? I've found instructions to do so.  --Havoc Reaper  19:32, 3 February 2012 (EST)


 * Yeah; it's on. Have a preference for this? --Porplemontage 19:58, 3 February 2012 (EST)
 * We had a custom skin at MediaWiki:Monaco.css  --Havoc Reaper  20:07, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Multi-Upload
Could you increase the amount of upload-able files on Special:MultipleUpload to ten? Plus, the URL upload does not work properly so could you remove that?  --Havoc Reaper  18:49, 12 February 2012 (EST)


 * URL upload doesn't work at all or just on the multi-upload page? --Porplemontage 20:09, 12 February 2012 (EST)
 * Just on multi-upload.  --Havoc Reaper  20:45, 12 February 2012 (EST)

So, um, any word on increasing the max amount of multi-uploadable files (5--->10)?  --Havoc Reaper  20:29, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Block
Block this user, see his most recent contributions. (He is also a sockpuppet of this user) -- Star phoria  17:29, 14 March 2012 (EDT)


 * That's really up to Havoc and the other admins. --Porplemontage 17:36, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

Footer
Hey, I like the addition of the footer thing that links to your network of wikis... perhaps it should be colored differently on certain wikis to match the color scheme, though, as it looks kinda bad on KH Wiki. It looks fine elsewhere. -- Star phoria  15:24, 18 March 2012 (EDT)


 * Thanks, I've considered that as well. Perhaps it's something we'll do. --Porplemontage 15:51, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

G&W-wiki
Please grant users the ability to edit their talk page while blocked.  THE  AVENGING  BANDIT   17:44, 2 April 2012 (EDT)


 * That's been on here for a while. What G&W Wiki? --Porplemontage 19:11, 2 April 2012 (EDT)
 * I tried blocking a user (to see if users had the ability to edit their talk page) and there's no "Allow this user to edit own talk page while blocked" while I was blocking. And I'm talking about the g&w wiki where BlindColours is the oversight.  THE  AVENGING  BANDIT   19:20, 2 April 2012 (EDT)


 * I can't change settings on wikis that aren't mine. The owner would have to set $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit to true. --Porplemontage 19:25, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

10 MultipleUpload slots
How did you increase it to 10? Over at Icaruspedia we're trying to change it to 10, but I'm not quite sure how. -- Star phoria  22:11, 5 April 2012 (EDT)


 * After the LocalSettings inclusion you add $wgMaxUploadFiles = 10; --Porplemontage 01:04, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Template Issue
Suddenly, all of the navboxes aren't centered without the thing. Beforehand they were centered just fine. Did you modify something in the wiki code?  --Havoc Reaper  13:46, 24 June 2012 (EDT)


 * Ok, this is a confirmed bug in MediaWiki 1.19 and I've disabled the setting that causes the bug! --Porplemontage (talk) 14:19, 24 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Thanks.  --Havoc Reaper  09:14, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

Upload Multiple Files not available?
Why did we lose the ability to upload multiple files at the same time?  --Havoc Reaper  18:27, 31 October 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm afraid that the extension might have some issues. --Porplemontage (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2012 (EDT)
 * So basically we can't employ this feature until they fix the vulnerability problems? Aw man.  --Havoc Reaper  18:39, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

Tabber extension
Can you add this extension to the wiki? I want to test out some new templates designs. Thanks in advance.  --Havoc Reaper  20:55, 16 November 2012 (EST)


 * Here is how to use tabs:

hey hi hello


 * --Porplemontage (talk) 21:06, 16 November 2012 (EST)

Recent Changes auto-refresh
Hi, Porple, could you add the auto-refresh feature to this wiki's Recent Changes like what Smashwiki has?  --Havoc Reaper  19:29, 8 January 2013 (EST)


 * Ok --Porplemontage (talk) 01:35, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Search borked here too
It seems what happen on Smashwiki has happened here as well. JamesHeart123 (talk) 15:45, 17 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Thank you. --Porplemontage (talk) 20:27, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

SSB Wiki's down and what not
Special pages can still be accessed with the Wiki background and logo loading, although it appears that only the WhosOnline page and EditCount page (with the page actually loading the editing information) are working so far. Hitting random still takes me to a page, but with an error message showing up identical to the one on the main page. Not expecting a magical instant fix here, but just telling you in case you weren't checking in on us. Mega Tron1   00:54, 4 September 2013 (EDT)

In addition, special pages that record category count and pages with the most edits to them are still up and running fine, so just a side note. Mega Tron1   00:57, 4 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I'm running a MediaWiki update script on it right now. But it's taking a while to update the database, sorry. Won't be much longer! --Porplemontage (talk) 00:58, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
 * All right then, thanks for clearing that issue up. Mega  Tron1  Decepticon.png 00:59, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
