Just wanted to say good job editing today! Hope to see you around these parts more. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 23:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Infoboxes

So you want to create an entirely new type of infobox? Well, I haven't ever made one myself, I've just modified existing ones. But I would imagine it's fairly simple. If you go to an existing template e.g. Template:Character-infobox and click edit Edit, you can see the code for it. I suppose you could create a boss template by creating a page called Template:Name-of-template and copy-paste the code in there and make the changes you want.

But we already have a boss template. What kind of a template were thinking of making? If you were having trouble using existing infoboxes, then it's a matter of copying the right kind of code from any page that uses the same infobox and changing in new information.

Signature

So I figured out how to make signatures (after 50 tries >:(!!!) so i can make you one if u want, then you can add whatever you want to it --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:23, 19 May 2010 (UTC) [see I have a signature now :D]

Haha (: you really want that signature. Here, edit the ALLCAPS in this page to what you want and add {{subst:User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig2}} as your signature in your preferences and check the box under where it says to put ur signature. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Admins

Okay, is it just me, or has a single Admin not been here in over a month. I really hope this website doesn't get murdered --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh that's right, I'm hoping once this Wiki is added to NIWA's page and Other M comes out, we'll get a great amount of GOOD editors. I just need Admins for their powers sometimes for doing things like killing pages and getting around this glitch in the Wiki. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Wow I cracked up after seeing that. Now this is when you know we need help here. I'm guessing 90% of the articles are marked (or should be marked) as stubs. Haha, freezing sucks butt. That's why I use a desktop, not as cool, but much more reliable. I also like how we could have a long, drawn-out conversation and not a soul would care --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Uh-oh, someone needs an upgrade, lol. I do to, i've had this computer for like 5 yrs. Yeah, don't even bother with iPhone lol. Hahahahahaha, That mecha ridley thing got me rofling, i thought you were serious. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 05:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello?

Haha, well Neo made it and he was slapping it on new users' talk pages. But since he hasn't been on in a while i started doing it. Its a template, just write {{hello}} and this should come up. You should help me put it on new users :D --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

Yup, it's one of those fun little things. I haven't been on in so long because I've been busy dealing with WiKirby and Zelda Wiki, and I've recently started playing around with web coding, and I've started messing with Mediawiki's actual interface. Sorry that I've kinda abandoned this place :(^_Neo^{(U) (T) (C)(Home)} 20:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

How

Awesome (: Hahaha, I thought you were older. That's so cool --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

U sure you weren't born 1990? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

Adam Malkovich

The computer in Metroid Fusion IS Adam Malkovich. Samus says that GF placed his brain inside of the computer, so it literally IS Adam Malkovich, just sayin. I don't wanna revert your edits though, because doing that got some guy mad at me last time lol. Oh and when linking to Samus (only to Samus), try doing {{samus}} instead of [[Samus]], it works much better (: --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 23:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I just think the computer should have its own article. The article is about Malkovich himself. Let's just wait until Other M to decide that.

Either way, I'm not sure if you can revert edits from the creator. No big deal. And the Samus thing is just to save time. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 23:56, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Alright, To Other M it is. Yeah you're right the computer does deserve its own article, all in due time i guess. Use these squiggly brackets {}, it works better than these [] when it's samus --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

What difference does it make...

Metroid Wiki says "Don't do that!!" so i don't do it lol. See when you leave it as Samus what happens is you click the Samus link, then when you are on the page Samus Aran, it says you were redirected from Samus. It's written here. Haha, yes, I actually read all that crap on the help pages just in case. Well you know what, it doesn't really matter, I end up fixing a lot of that small stuff anyways, just edit away lol --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:42, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

...And again, it matters....why?

Haha just forget about it nvm --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:11, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Uploads

Since you upload so much, add {{Copyright}} to all of your uploads. It's like a disclaimer, it makes Metroid Wiki less suable lol. just add it to the summary section. Didja see that i totally made that awesome mecha ridley article even better? i didn't think that was possible --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, seriously, that article was AMAZING before. The copyrights of the pictures wouldn't get the entire site flagged, and especially not sued. I'll do that, but it's not a major threat. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 02:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i know (: i was being overly dramatic lol, bt just do it anyways so we don't have to add it later --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

FFFFFFFFFFFRICK FRACK i just created a really long article about all the different visors and it suddenly just poofed away!!!!!

dduuuuuude!! I hate it when that happens, I get pretty mad. But then I realize i'm using GoogleChrome, and by clicking the Back button everything comes back :) Use Google Chrome. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

I do, but all that I typed was gone. When you create a page, as you do it is fun, but if it gets completely erased, you don't feel like going back to it. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)}

I know what ya mean. Sometimes I'll be halfway between creating a page, then I get distracted, then I stop. And that's the end of it lol --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

It's a crap feeling, but it happens. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)}

I got hecka distracted right now, it took about 3 hrs to make that 3 sentence long Gravity Boost page lol --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha. Well, I'm adding images to it now. I'm starting to do all that copyright crap now. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha cool. I feel like such a pest when I put things like this on ppls' talk pages lol. Don't worry you'll get used to it --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Edits

Yeah, my talk page was getting messy, I gotta learn how to archive, so I'm messing urs up :D. That's kinda sad, that you have more edits than all the admins lol. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

When you think of it, it doesn't really matter how many edits you have, but what's in them that counts. It's not a majorly-spectacular happening. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 22:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it is. I have loads of edit, but I'd say 90%+ are very minor. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Pssshhh welll maybe it is a little <wink wink> No just kidding. It doesn't really make a difference to the users, I'm not an admin and probably never will be haha. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 01:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha, no you might be an admin if a current admin actually gets on to see that you're doing so much work here lol --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Ya, it seems you, me and Embyr (or however you spell it) are the only ones that go on. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Well now it's Metroidking. So I'm thinking it's you, me, and a person of the day lol. Oh i fixed your talk page so it's not so messy, just thought you might wanna kno --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Ah, My talk page has alwas been messy. Haha. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Staff

You should ask Mel about Adminship. It's on the Main Page news. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Just "Sent my application," I suppose. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00.06, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Literally sent mine 2 mins after urs. I shudda sent something better lol --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:08, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Argh. Now I don't know what to say since I was gonna say "Dude, you should apply, too!" - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:10, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Wow, now that I see yours, I feel like I should have been a little more....assertive. Haha

Haha it's cool, i think they're both fine requests. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:23, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

He combined them....cool. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha, didja send urs back yet? I think mine was too... formal --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Uh-Oh...

Someone's falling behind on his edits... Behind me that is ;D muohohoho --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 20:26, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

College man, COLLEGE!!!!!! Haha I looked at your edits and went back to mine, and I thought yours said 12.blah blah blah and I was like "Uh idk what he's talking about..." and went back and was like "Holy crap!" - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 01:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha. Ur in college? So you are 19. Haha. Dang I have to redo half of my edits today though >:( --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:54, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Not in college, applying. My age doesn't matter so stop asking!!! haha. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 02:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Lol :p. Hey You might wanna look at Galactic Federation Marine's history to see some wiki coding that might help. That little {{clear}} thing replaces all those Enters you put. It makes editing the page easier. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Just as I read my edits I was thinking "Man, I'm doing really sloppy here while Malake's raking in all the (looks at his page) DOUGH!!!!!!" - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Haha. Yeahh wiki code can be a bit tricky at times. The way pages look depends on it. this page actually helped lol. Sometimes you just learn by trial and error though. Haha number of edits are pretty insignificant, I'm telling you I must've edited this one page like 10 times cuz I kept forgetting things. Didja get skype yet? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:57, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to see that you're busy SZM. Anyways, hope to catch you on Skype soon; perhaps the weekend? Then you'll be able to get into things. :) -Melchizedek  ^talk 06:16, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Logbook

Don't slap normal pics in the Logbook template, those are meant for Logbook pics. I guess you didn't see the other message, look at War Wasp's logbook and you'll see what I mean. Hey, did Mel brief you in on patrolling yet? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:17, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I looked everywhere for one. I'll probably take one off of the game itself. And no, i didn't. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:18, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I completely forgot about Skype. I'm downloading it now. _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what we're aiming for, well wat I'm aiming for anyways. It's better to have original stuff than have pics grabbed from all over I think. If you get a capture card, you'll be able to take screenshots and crop images. That's wat I'm planning on. Oh well it's not rly that hard. well get on skype and i could give you some basics :D --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Wait, so you're not Jacob, FoxHoundFreaks? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

I am, I just forgot to download it. That's like...the 500th stup0id thing I've done today. (Yes, with a 0) - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Lol, everyone has those kinda days lol. Oh dang rules suck, alright, I won't IM unless you IM me. Can I IM you now? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}}

Yeah, but for like, ten minutes. If i don't reply in five minutes, don't say anything. I'm also stuck with a "partner" that hates everything that isn't reading, so yeah. _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Some fixes to Your User Page

Having just had a look at your user page, there are a few things that I noticed that you'll have to change. Firstly where it says "which is essential for an administrator like myself", the word 'administrator' needs to be replaced with 'patroller'. We can't have editors getting confused over staff position inaccuracies. Secondly, that image on your user page is way too huge for some browsers and affects loading times, so please shrink it down proportionately. -Melchizedek  ^talk 09:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'll fix both of those right away. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 22:17, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, fixing that "administrator" one doesn't mean getting rid of it entirely. It really should say somewhere on your user page that you are a patroller so that editors know. Perhaps you'd like to do something like Malake did. Oh, and the picture can be bigger than that. :P -Melchizedek  ^talk 07:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Alright, added on. Haha well the picture isn't extremely important, so I just kept it at a reasonable "avatar" size. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 06:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

a question

why is it, that whenever I edit a page, you put the stupid "this page is in need of attention" thing, you could simply put the stub thing but you must be rude and put the other message, so why zelda, why? thebestmetroidfan 02:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfan

fine, don't anwser me, i'll just have to change things myself... thebestmetroidfan 03:04, 22 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfan

It's not being "rude," it's trying to call in others to expand the article for the best. I'm not criticizing your work, and the only reason why I didn't clean up the article myself is because I have more to do. You can take care of the box by simply deleting it. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 13:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

and what I meant by "change things myself" was remove the box myself. thebestmetroidfan 04:57, 26 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfan
