 * Any idea when this will be finished?
 * O ya how do u become an Admin here?

Templates
Hey ODST. I checked all the templates and found 2 that weren't working right. On Template:Property the text was invisible (black on black), so I just set the text color to white - easy fix. However, Template:Administrator was really broken. I tried a few things, but couldn't get it to work, so I created Template:Admin using different, simpler code. Check it out and let me know if it looks the way you want it to. If you want it to look different and need help, just leave me a message. JoePlay (talk) 21:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * On Template:Battle Infobox, the text in the black areas was invisible, so I fixed it. That's the only infobox I saw. If there are others that aren't working, link me to them and I'll take care of it. JoePlay (talk) 19:40, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * After trying to use the battle infobox, I noticed that it was displaying stuff that it shouldn't (Usage), so I fixed that. I also tested the weapon infobox on this page, and it seems to work. If there's a problem I'm not seeing, tell me what it is. JoePlay (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yea I can make a logo for the wiki. Just think about what you want it to look like and let me know. JoePlay (talk) 20:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To use the templates, just copy the code in the box under the Usage heading and paste it on the article. Then fill in the information. That's it. I also just uploaded a logo, as you should be able to see now. Oh and thanks for the admin, but I'm a Wikia employee so I have admin access on all wikis here at Wikia. =) JoePlay (talk) 20:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Yo
Hey, Joshie. This is Screennameless, from that other wiki. I'd be happy to help you guys get this place rolling - I'm not good with technical stuff, but I'm pretty good at organizing things. If you ever want any help or have anything you think I could do for you, let me know. -Screennameless

RE: Help
Sure. :) I'm mostly devoted to that other wiki, though, so I may not be as active here as I am there. -Screennameless

hey
how did u get that Sig, an image and stuff? User:CaptainNate

Sorry for the delay
But what you need help with?--Jack Black 17:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

About the Fanon Wiki's Membership
I use my FanFiction.net account to pimp Gearspedia and the Fanon Wiki to my readers. ...That's so weird to say. My readers. (shakes head) Anyway, a few people come to look now and then when I push it; when I post my next chapter I'll make the Fanon wiki the main topic of my Author's Note. Hopefully that'll help a bit. :) Screennameless 21:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for the whole in-the-running-for-fanon-of-the-month thing! :D

RE:Cowrite
Well, what would it be? Screennameless 20:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, sure, I'd be open to cowriting. And thank you! ^-^ Screennameless 21:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

(winces, knowing Joshie is a Halo fan) Not much. I'm not fond of the way it plays, so the majority of my experience with Halo is watching my friends play online matches against each other. Screennameless 21:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "Move your fucking asses!" made me laugh a lot. Team Wolf seems fun! :) Screennameless 21:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I can try. I don't know that the different ranks look much different, though. How about... how about I snag the image from Gearspedia? That seems fitting. Screennameless 21:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Uploaded it here. :) Screennameless 21:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

XD What a coincidence. I'm working on the main page right now. I only have Yahoo. I use Trillian occasionally, but just the Yahoo plug... I'll add my old Cbox back onto my homepage; it makes a nifty messenger. Screennameless 21:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Question
What is NCF? Screennameless 18:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Never heard it before. :P Screennameless 18:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Greeting Text
One thing that compelled me to join That Other Wiki was the greeting text I got in my Talk Page before I even had an account. This bit of code right here:

It's Going Decently
Chapter Seven is being a bitch, though.... why will you not reach completion?!! (hates self on behalf of Reconnoiter readers) Screennameless 21:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

(Slaps Joshie back) It's okay, I forgive you. :P Anyway, it's literally 3/4 of the way done, but it's a big, epic battle and all. Complicated, with lots of viewpoint changing. But if it's not up tonight - and I expect it will be - it will be up tomorrow. I swear on my reputation as an author. (determined pose) Screennameless 21:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

(Slaps Joshie again) Don't ruin my dreams! (sobs dramatically)

(Puts on black make-up and cuts self in a corner) =D

(GASP) You can't block me! Well, yes, you could, BUT YOU CAN'T! (whistles "Still Alive")  And why sign them if you know it's me? Screennameless 21:35, 12 February 2009 (UTC) There, happy?

(laughs) Don't worry, I'm used to it. My conversations with my friends are 1/3 video game jargon, 1/3 making fun of stereotypes, and 1/3 insults. Speaking of- (slaps Joshie again because she can) Screennameless 21:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC) Later! ^-^

Umm... I dunno. I'd e-punch you. Maybe e-kick you in the nads. (shrugs) Or just go back to FF.net and get my readers there to do it. =D Screennameless 21:53, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Question
On the talk pages they give you an easy and simple edit screen. When I trying making a Article, it's pure hell. Can it be change to the ones the other wikis use or that just it?--Jack Black 02:38, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't really understand what you want to make. Like this? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Era --Jack Black 08:59, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Well not much info is know about all of Sera's timeline. We know it separate Before E-Day and AE (They never say BE just "After Emergence) and the Era part We only have one official "era" and thats the Era of Silence which lead to the Gold rush (little min info from the handbook with GoW2) after Lightmass was created then the Pendulum Wars then Locust-Human war. http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Sera But unlike starwars with a billion books and games they have official symbols for each age. But I can see a break down thou --Jack Black 09:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * no name on a millennia of conflicts http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/747/747891/img_2896883.html
 * Era of Silence (Canon name)
 * Gold Rush (Canon Name)
 * Pendulum Wars (79 years long no official name of a Era but we can work on that)
 * Locust-Human War (15 years)

This? http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Era It looks great we can use the box cover of the games and books for the eras.--Jack Black 09:15, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Go for it!--Jack Black 09:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

After I fixed the category summary I noticed you'd moved Mary Sue. And aww I'm sorry. Turn that frown upside down! :D Screennameless 21:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Nahh. I got the hair but truthfully I'm about as far from emo as you can get. :P I have to go now. Seeya! Screennameless 21:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite

hey man
Dear ODST,

Great to hear from you again! Haven't heard from you for awhile... Well, got your message. That sounds great; I have administrative status on over ten other wikia sites and would be glad to use it to attempt to further some of GOW Fanon's aspects, especially MediaWiki coding and a standardized template system. What would administratorship entail?

Warm regards,

RelentlessRecusant 09:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey ODST, wow, thanks so much! :) That's awesome — sometime we should definitely talk about what coding changes you'd like to the site. Sure, feel free to ask away about BVA ... Harvard and my girlfriend have kept me really crazy recently so I apologize for BVA's lull, but would be glad to talk to you again :) Regards, RelentlessRecusant 09:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

What's ODST mean? Screennameless 19:45, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. Screennameless  - "None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me." 19:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * shrugs* If you want, I guess. It's not a big deal to me.  I just love that quote (Rorschach is the coolest sociopath ever).  Screennameless  - "None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me." 19:40, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome! But... you cut off part of the quote. :(  Screennameless  - "None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me." 20:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

My first article !!!

Zeno Panthakree 15:19, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Is it okay if I make a Gears of War 3 story? It hasnt come out yet so it can be like pre-Halo 3 writing back on HaloFanon. Also,can you help me with my article Sabershot? Sorry,but I want to get some good articles in soon. Zeno Panthakree 23:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

What???
How is my signature racist. I'm an Indonesian, and I'm crazy. Doesnt sound racist to me. The reason you probably think its racist is because you didnt know I was Indonesian. Well, now you do. Hope I dont sound rude. :)

No
I do not has Skype. I don't even know what a Skype is. I has Trillian but I only use the Yahoo plug. :P Screennameless  -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  15:53, 1 March 2009 (UTC) Now I has Skype.

Hi!
Hey, I'm Ry. I'm kinda new to fan-fic, and just completed the first chapter of my first story. If you have time, could you read it and give me any feedback? It's called Gears of War: Alive. That would be awesome and help me out a lot! Thanks!

Well, that's weird. Screennameless -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  17:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

No. I have to go help with my dad's b-day party anyway. :P So I'll talk to you later. Screennameless -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  17:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

RE:Proposition
Hi Joshie, thanks for the offer. While I suppose I could do the odd review, I don't really want an offical position. Also I don't see how I could review types of fanon, such as articles about countrys or weapons, because they don't have plots. Sorry if this seems stupid, but I have never been involved in any kind of fanon before you first asked to help here! However, if you want, I'll make you a deal. If you want something reviewed that is a story when tell me and I'll see what I can do. You are welcome to try are convince me to review other things though! I'm really sorry if that wasn't the anwser you wanted, but I hope it helps a bit! Thanks, --EightyOne (talk) 20:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Pleasure to meet you SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 15:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I know which one I would prefer, and a Ban isn't on my agenda :(

Seriously, have I done something wrong? SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I can quite honestly say that I have no idea what just happened SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

well... Wow

Now I have responsibilities!

...

What are my responsiblilties? SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

NCF? I can think of Non-Canon and then no idea for the F :P

I will do this to the best of my abilities, and add a bio too

Are you taking part in the RPs, or standing well back? SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Is yours the Katilla point RP? I need to check the date, because if possible, I may put 'Psycho' Carrick into it.

Every little helps, eh? SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright, Carrick's illegible. I will put him in your RP when I'm done with my Bio.

Btw, do you use MSN? Would be so much easier to talk. SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It is pretty damn awesome. My eyes certainly enjoyed the assault :P

I TRIED to add you, but MSN decided that it would rather be gay.

Try adding me: Suidical_Skydiver@hotmail.co.uk SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I was joking about the colours :P

Also, you mispelt 'Our' in the announcement :P SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 16:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)



MSN's still sucking at life :(

Im restarting to try and sort it

About the main page
I know it's the main page. But if you want to increase traffic, a good way to do so is to increase your google ranking. And the easiest way to do that is to repeat the terms "gears of war", "wiki", etc. One of the recommended things is to make your main page titled "Gears of War Fanon Wikia". I don't really get your huge fixation on the main page being titled 'main page'. :P Screennameless  -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  03:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Look, I'm sorry about the comment on my userpage
but it's getting ridiculous. I'm not going to let the two of you keep fighting on and off like this. If it continues to escalate it's just going to get disruptive, and I will not allow it to damage the community when we're just starting to grow and we're moments away from a Wikia Spotlight. I don't care that I'm just an admin and not a 'crat; quite frankly, I've put a lot of work into this wiki and I'm going to protect it.

Do I think Jaws is more at fault than you? Hell yes. And anyone who's arrogant enough to say people need to "shut their mouth and know their role" when the speaker has no role in the wiki despite having founded it, then yes, they need to go and get a reality check. But you don't need to antagonize her. Who cares if she doesn't do anything?! Let her be a useless 'crat. If she starts making negative edits, then you have grounds for her to lose admin privileges. As it is, she can just lurk and do nothing - big deal.

Let me know if anything changes.

Screennameless -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  16:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I could say a million things here but none of them would make you feel better or restore your trust in me. All I can say is that I don't care about being a 'crat; that has nothing to do with this. And that I like being your friend. But the fighting's got to stop.


 * Screennameless -  "Goodnight, everybody!"  01:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
I let it get to this. This escalated out of control, and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry, I should have taken action much quicker to try and stop this getting out of time.

Don't get too angry with Tori, as well. She does have a point about protecting the wiki, keeping the community together and all that. It is also true that all Jaws can do right now is complain. If she makes negative edits, then we rollback, and if it goes too far, we are justified to rectify that problem.

If you need a hand with anything, just give a shout. I may be the least accomplished of our admins, but I still want to do my bit here. SuicidalSkydiver (talk) 23:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
