Quote Template (resolved)
Hi. I don't know what the problem is, and it seems to work fine for me. It shouldn't matter, but try using a capital Q for quote. As an example: "This should work"

- EightyOne should give, "This should work"

- EightyOne

I hope that helps, any problems don't hesitate to ask. --EightyOne (talk) 22:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry, I definatly found the problem now. On the usage bit of the template I had entered the code incorrecty, and so anybody who did what I had said didn't have a working template. The correct code is "TEXT TO BE QUOTED"

- ATTRIBUTION , before I had put a colon before the first line. I have corrected it now. In addition it doesn't matter if the Q is capital or not. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and once again I'm really sorry for the trouble. p.s. Keep up the good work with Reconnoiter, I have been reading it for a while but I didn't want to comment on it until you had finished. Its really good!. Thanks, --EightyOne (talk) 22:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

(resolved) How
the frak you used this wiki? I can't stand the editing on this thing. Only the talk pages have the same editing userface from Gearspedia. Btw I read your newest chapter very nice.--Jack Black 00:06, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Same as what JacktheBlack said above, how do you actualy create anything on this wiki? whats the system requirments for the pages you want to create for them to load to the editing screen? when im trying to create an article it doesn't stop loading, i waited 10mins and a page still didn't load for me to create. Is it possible for you to fix the editing part so it's like the gearspedia loading cause it works fine for me on gearspedia and i have a imac that's 8yrs old. Please try to fix it.--User:KantusHighPriestSkorge 20:06, March 2009 (UTC)

I tried what you suggested but theres absoultely nothing on the editing page that will let me switch to normal editing or the editing page won't stop "loading" the editing section so i guess im just gunna have to admire what other people wrote.--User:KantusHighPriestSkorge

ODST (resolved)
It's a Halo Reference and it means Orbital Drop Shock Trooper often called Helljumpers because they drop from atmospheric Heights in Ceramic Droppods and it often get's hot! and hence the nickname.

No it's not. It's fucking 'suicidal'! As for your sig. Want me to make you a template of it? SPARTAN- G0  24  19:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
Dear Screennameless,

Hi, my name is Ry, and I'm kind of new to fan-fiction, but am very interested in it. I am soon going to start thinking about writing a piece of my own. I liked your idea of moving the COG HQ to the New Hope Facility, and I was wondering, may I do the same in my story? I think the facility has a kind of mystery to it and would be a cool thing to expand on. Anyway, I am really intrigued by your story, and can't wait to read more!

Thanks, Ry


 * Ry-
 * Of course you may! It's not like I invented the idea or something.  I can't wait to read your story, and thank you for the nice comments. :D

Hi again! It's Ry, and I just uploaded the first chapter of my first attempt at fan fiction. If you have time, can you read it and give me any feedback? It's called Gears of War: Alive. I would greatly appreciate that! Thanks and again, no rush. :) RyRy16 23:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)RyRy16

Wikia auto welcome (aka EightyOne's awesomeness - resolved)
Hi Screenanmeless. First of all great job on the skin, it looks really good, and thanks for your thanks about the sitenotice plug. Wikia has developed an auto welcome tool, that is now on all wikis. There are details about it here. I was going to change the welcome messages to look like the one you currently use (Template:Welcome), but I cannot edit the MediaWiki files because I am no longer an admin here. Its not quite as simple as just copying the code over, and while I am totally sure you could work it out yourself (you have manged really well with the Monaco.css!), I thought I would post it here to save you the trouble: For MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user;

 * To tell the truth, I don't know what they do, but they are part of the code. Somehow the wiki software knows what the last page the new user edited and who was the last admin to edit, and this info is substituted where there are dollar signs. It's important they stay in the code, but if you want to change it and write around them, this is what they do:
 * $1 - the last page the new user edited (must have a colon infront, eg :$1)
 * $2 - used in the link to the last active admins talk page
 * $3 - the signature of the last active admin

Need a bit of help... (resolved)
Quick question, how would I go about changing the title of my wiki-page? It's something only admins can do, right? LoboDiabloLoneWolf 14:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
