Purge Cache

Uh, hey Steve. A while back, a troll vandalized a few templates with lewd ASCII art, which has persisted in the cache. I added a link to "Purge Cache" in the sidebar but Wayoshi suggested that I ask you to move it to the toolbox. So if you could do that, I'd appreciate it. Or if you could just purge the entire cache, that'd be cool too. Thanks. - 2257^(Talk) 22:04, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Are you using this to clean pages or do you expect guests to use it? --Steve (talk) 22:22, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Um, I was using it. It doesn't show up for guests yet anyway. - 2257^(Talk) 22:29, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

You can use it where it is for now but once we're clean get rid of it because I really don't want just anyone clearing the cache for funsies as it will put more strain on the server. Thank you. --Steve (talk) 22:37, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

I won't really know when. I've got no way to find the pages that are affected other than when guests complain. Anyway, if you think it'll be a problem, I'll remove it. The manual way isn't hugely inconvenient or anything. - 2257^(Talk) 22:43, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Okay. --Steve (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Hey Steve...

I have a question. Seeing as you are the creator of the wiki, you would know the best on the subject. What are Bots? Because the page that lists the users who have high rankings (Patrollers, Sysops, Buerecrats) has Bots on the drop-down selection. · SMB (Talk) ·

Bots are robo-tools used to perform mundane tasks. We don't have any. --Steve (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Ok. Thank you for letting me know. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

Stooben

He got hacked by Rudnicki. As a precaution, can you demote him from op in chat until we get this worked out? Thanks. 1337Yoshi wuz heer! I never finish anyth

Thanks. --Steve (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Your Porplemontage-ness...

I am just informing you that I started a new proposal on the wiki that, if passed, would create a new ranking of users. If you would like to know more about it, please check the proposals page itself, I don't want to mess up the explanation. · SMB (Talk) ·

Sounds good. --Steve (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Thank you. By the way, if the proposal were to somehow pass, would you personally be ok with adding the rank? If not, is there anybody else who could add the rank? · SMB (Talk) ·

I would do it (but it's not looking good). --Steve (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I know. Thank you. · SMB (Talk) ·

Chat

Did Gadmosikano/C0rwin go into the chat impersonating me? He (he's my friend) says he went in and swore at you a lot.

Ralphfan>>Just checking.

No. --Steve (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Help! I've been hacked again!

Steve, this is the real Stooben Rooben; I've been hacked again! If you want proof you can check my IP, I don't know how the hacker did it but I need help! Can you recover my password?

If you can't, please demote the troll before he hurts someone again like he did on the forums.

IP is different, dude. --Steve (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Access List

Can you add me to the #mariowiki access list?? ™ Thanks :)

What? --Steve (talk) 00:02, 5 May 2009 (EDT)

Actually, the Ops decided against giving Patrollers Op status in chat. — Stooben Rooben 00:26, 5 May 2009 (EDT)

Pic of the weak

Err, the poll selection and the proposals have a link on the sidebar under community, but the picture selection page isn't. do you think that that would be a good thing to put under community? -

Its link on the main page is fine. Proposals stays because they are a big deal. I'll move poll selection. Thank you. --Steve (talk) 00:06, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Polls

I was wondering, what exactly do you use to power your polls? I'd like to install that feature on my music wiki. — Stooben Rooben 15:47, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Advanced Poll + iFrame extension to embed them in the wiki. --Steve (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Got it! Thanks! — Stooben Rooben 14:42, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
