Chat

what do i do if i think an OP should be De-Oped "Alpha"

You can message another op on the chat and make your case. You can send me a PM on the forum if you'd like to provide a few more details on this. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 00:02, 2 January 2008 (EST)

how bout Aim? "Alpha

I won't be on AIM tonight. You can email me if it can't wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll be in chat tomorrow too. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 00:10, 2 January 2008 (EST)

I sent it and it is urgent 'Alpha"

GJ

This is what the Old One told me:
You must travel for three days and three nights with no food, water or provisions through the Argonne Forest. After such a journey, you shall come upon a monument to the great Shroom of Argonne. You must climb to the top of said monument and meditate for a further three days. After which, the long lost name of the Almighty ShroomKing of Argonne shall be revealed to you. Take a shard of the great rock and carve the name in your flesh. You will then have the power to de-op ONE op of your choosing by calling out the ancient spell of Doomhammer:
"I. AM. OVERSENSITIVE TO MATTERS THAT PERTAIN TO ME NOT!."
Thus, it shall be done. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 00:07, 2 January 2008 (EST)

That guy can't be trusted, he is making like 10 spam accounts on userpedia. We don't have definite proof, but even if it isn't him, he still can't be trusted! HyperToad He also impersonated Alphaclaw!

Great Game

Userpedia Closing

I haeard something about the sysops are in a disscussion about closing Userpedia. An answer should be; I thought we created Userpedia for a reason. Didn't we create it because we were getting too distracting with sprite comics and such? Well it will happen again if we close Userpedia. GrodenE T C El Or was it just a rumor Wayoshi spread -_-'

I have no idea. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 03:30, 5 January 2008 (EST)
Steve has no connections with Userpedia. It was made by Xzelion and Sadaharu. 3dhammer.gif 3D, AAAAAARH 3dhammer.gif
It's impossible to close Userpedia, sysops here basically aren't sysops there. It's my personal opinion. Minimario here says sprite comics were too distracting, and the problem's fixed by moving them to another wiki. Guess what, Mini-M? Userpedia is sucking people away from this wiki because it continues to be even more distracting. That's why I want it closed. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 09:19, 5 January 2008 (EST)
You can't close Userpedia just 'cause people are over there more than here. They have a right to be on what sight they want to. If they're neglecting the wiki that's their problems. I spend more time here than there and even I think that's unfair. You wouldn't like it if it were the other way around, would you? I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't see a reason to shut down a site just because some people like it more than here. — Stooben Rooben Sorry if I offended someone.

Sorry if this is an annoying question or if I'm wasting your time here, but do you happen to own Both the 360 & Halo 3?, Also is it possible to block an Ip using a wildcard (like how it can be performed on the forums) Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC

Why are you asking about Halo? This is the second time I've been asked that question so I find it kind of odd. Yes, I own a 360 and Halo 3. I've never seen anything about blocking wildcards with MediaWiki, so my guess would be no, but I've never actually tried it. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 19:49, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Top Ads

Not only is the new ad line at the top annoying, it is blocking the sitenotice. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 15:48, 6 February 2008 (EST)

The amount of revenue that the site makes off the ads recently plummeted out of nowhere. I don't know why, I don't like the top ad unit either, but this is definitely a predicament for the site.

Censoring

There's currently an ongoing discussion about whether or not to censor Bob Hoskins's quote on the Super Mario Bros. movie, which reads:

The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots.

Would a censoring of the word "fuckin'" go okay with you or are you following Wikipedia's policy of not censoring anything? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:04, 9 February 2008 (EST)

Censoring the word with asterisks or anything similar seems kind of silly. I wouldn't be against leaving out some sentences like in Wikipedia's quote template.

Well, I'm not sure, since I can't get to them. And I'm not sure how minor it was when it started, but he modified my sig to say things like "Ghost Jam is the best person ever" after I said bad things about him in my sig. </dumb rant> ~Uniju(T-C-E)

You've been trying to push my buttons for several days now. I changed your sig ONCE as part of the joke you started (which included a hint for you to stop), in which you included the use of '@$$hole', minus the obvious censoring. I intended to partially suspend you, but it didn't take for any number of reasons. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:19, 16 February 2008 (EST)
And because I'm not a mod, it's fine for you to push my buttons? And unless stated otherwise(which I have no idea of knowing) only the auto-censored swears should be against the rules, right? Anyway, I don't think Porple wants an immature spam war between a spammer and a spammy sysop on his talk page. ~Uniju(T-C-E)
I don't push your buttons. Every problem that has come between us has been instigated by you. As for your question, we only have two auto-censored swears, but that doesn't make it ok to run around called people assholes, just in the same way it's ok to own a gun, but not ok to run outside and start randomly shooting people.
And don't give me this garbage of what Steve would or would not like. If that mattered, you wouldn't have started the topic here. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:29, 16 February 2008 (EST)
I didn't "start this garbage", I informed him of the fact that I was flaming and you where abusing power. And all you basically said was "He started it!" like a kid trying to get out of being yelled at for punching someone. ._. I'm not saying that I'm NOT just saying "He started it!", but it's weird being in an immature argument like that from someone who's supposedly like twice my age. ~Uniju(T-C-E)
And you're using the "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!!!!" game that children use. Every time, with very few exceptions, that I try to do my job, you take issue with it, attack me and then, when I say ANYTHING to you, you act like you're the victim and run to daddy for help, very much like you're doing now. You can accuse me of being childish all you want, but you're right up there with me. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:44, 16 February 2008 (EST)
I might be acting as immature as you, but I'm a lot younger than you, plus I'm not a mod on the forum, so I have an excuse. :P ~Uniju(T-C-E)Porple is so gonna be ticked when he logs in.
Turning that excuse on it's ear, you being young = having a lot to learn. However, I don't see you learning. In fact, I see you becoming worse.

This seems like something an ops should take care of. Did anyone happen to tell DP or Uniju about it? -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 21:17, 2 March 2008 (EST)
1: Uniju has been demoted.

2: For being a visitor of the chat, I can attest that Wayoshi did far worse things than what Crypt Raider showed. The OPS are just too lazy\incompetent\corrupt to actually do anything about him. --Blitzwing 21:21, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Going off of that, try bringing it up to any op that may have been there during the event. Excuses aside, they should be able to IP ban/suspend/spank Wayo. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 21:54, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Oh wow, I was reported? Someone on chat cares to stop troublemakers? That's certainly amazing... Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 22:19, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Server crashes.

Recently for the last few hours, or a copule of days the wiki keeps getting more server crashes. You do know what's the problem with the wiki? Space storage? Too much users? Server expiring? I think the last one would be it though. Please elaborate this. RAP.pngRAP... All I can see in the wiki is green zeros and ones outside my mansion! D:

I do not know. We'll get our investigative team on this right away. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 22:02, 2 March 2008 (EST)
Another thing to note- on my computer, one tab with mario wiki could have the database error stuf and the other mario wiki tab works perfectly! GreenKoopa - Comments or questions? · Koopa.gif 16:10, 3 March 2008 (EST)
That's because the error was a hiccup and if you refresh on whatever tab it goes away. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 21:20, 3 March 2008 (EST)

Yo Steve.

Mind deleting this disgusting topic? I'm thinking this Rudnicki guy needs a block; he's going around forcing his theoris and flaming whoever disagrees. (I can send you some PM with some of the content he's written me. >>) 3dhammer.gif 3D, GAR IMA FLAMEWAR 3dhammer.gif

Ads

Supposedly this is only happening for some people, but at least for me and ChaosNinji(they supposedly prevent him from being able to use MarioWiki's chat applet), the ads are on the left side of the page, and are kind of annoying, and for some people are supposedly covering up parts of the page itself(for me, the page is stretched around it, but their certainly still kinda annoying). I'm not sure what's up, but I don't think their suppose to be like this. <_< ...Or are they? I understand that this is most likely a glitch, and you may already be trying to fix it, but I wanted to say this just in case. ~Uniju(T-C-E)

Okay. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 19:43, 4 March 2008 (EST)

SQL queries

As it appears, SQL queries on error pages are no longer hidden for me. Is that because of my bureaucrat status, or did the protection go wrong? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:21, 5 March 2008 (EST)

When the errors show up I like to see what they are to see what the problem is, so they're not hidden right now. I haven't seen any since then though so if you get one you can post it here. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 12:00, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Okay, I had this one right now:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

    DELETE FROM `objectcache` WHERE exptime < '20080305170835'

from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery". MySQL returned error "1030: Got error 127 from storage engine (localhost)".

- Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:09, 5 March 2008 (EST)

More errors when trying to load a page, and they all deal with the objectcache:
DELETE FROM `objectcache` WHERE exptime < '20080305184709'

We should be looking good now. Errors are hidden again; let me know if and when you come across any. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 22:17, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Goomba Change

Hey this is --The Goomba 18:56, 6 March 2008 (EST), I want my name changes to, "Blue Koopa"!

I'm in a dilema! EVERYTHING for Super Mario Wiki Adventures and MarioWiki Story is lost. My USB pen died. So I could either make a comeback (It'll take a LOONG time) or quit cause If I do make a comeback, My PC will be filled with Images and My PC is slow so what should I do? Continue or Quit?
