== Hello ==

I just joined myself, noticing I could help this wiki with some templates and such, but you seem to be much more experienced with Mediawiki/template syntax than I am. It would be nice if you would comment on what I wrote on the [[Wars_wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]]. Also, the [[:Template:CampaignPrevNext|CampaignPrevNext template]] looks great! :) ~[[User:FireFly|FireFly]] <sup>[[User talk:FireFly|t]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-4px">[[Special:Contributions/FireFly|c]]</sub> 10:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks, I really don't consider myself experienced, but I've been contributing to Bulbapedia [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page] for almost a year now, so I guess practice makes perfect!  Luckily, it's not really all that difficult to learn (at least for me), the best way is to find code or a template you think you can use, and try to modify it to suit your needs.  But thank you for the compliment on my first template! =]  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 10:58, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

::You're welcome! Also, would be great if you could alter [[:Template:Unitlist/entry]] so that <nowiki>{{{first}}}</nowiki> set to "yes" makes the unit name bold, and leaving out unit type doesn't create a wikilink, but just a plain '—'. I'll watch how you do it, and hopefully learn from it! ~[[User:FireFly|FireFly]] <sup>[[User talk:FireFly|t]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-4px">[[Special:Contributions/FireFly|c]]</sub> 13:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

::Do you know if it's possible for administrators to move image file pages? Or should I continue to reupload wrongly named images, and ask an admin to remove the old ones? I really think it's a good idea to be able to get the small sprite picture out of just the unit name, so you don't have to supply both unit name and image file name. ~[[User:FireFly|FireFly]] <sup>[[User talk:FireFly|t]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-4px">[[Special:Contributions/FireFly|c]]</sub> 20:18, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

:::I would assume they can.  Actually, if we have all the images in a standard format, it would be a lot easier to code.  If all file extensions ended in ".png", for example, we wouldn't have to worry about the possibility of a ".jpg" image popping up.  That way, we could set it up with <b>{{{unitname}}}</b> for the actual name listing, and <b>[[File:{{{unitname}}}.png]]</b> for the image.  Like <b>Neotank</b> and <b>Neotank.png</b>, for example. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 20:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

::::Yeah, that was my goal. I tried to keep the <b>File:{{{unitname}}}-small.png</b> pattern for the small sprites, with that in mind. Hey, I didn't know bold tags did <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> automagically! By the way, just noticed this page links to "User talk:KCorp4000" somewhere, presumably in the box to the right. You may want to modify that. :) ~[[User:FireFly|FireFly]] <sup>[[User talk:FireFly|t]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-4px">[[Special:Contributions/FireFly|c]]</sub> 20:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

:::::<strike>Not a bad idea, but do we need the "small" part of it?  I only ask because I don't think we'll really have any "large" images to worry about...?</strike>  Never mind, if we manage to get images of the Battalion Wars units on here, I guess those would be the "large" group.  Thanks, it was the little HP bar.  I thought I changed all of those KCorp4000s...

<small><i>(resetting indent)</i></small><br>
I hadn't thought about that...  It would be great if we could get the small overworld sprites as well as those in-battle sprites for each of the Advance Wars countries.  That way, there's a little more eye candy to work with. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 21:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

== Unitlist templates ==
Hi! I just got back from a holiday; forgot to write about it here, sorry about that. Now the extra line breaks shouldn't appear any more. It happens because of an extra newline after the <b></nowiki></b> ending tag; see [http://warswiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AUnitlist%2Fshortentry&diff=2975&oldid=2835 this diff]. —[[User:FireFly|<span style="color:#F00">Fire</span>]][[User talk:FireFly|<span style="color:#F60">Fly</span>]][[Special:Contributions/FireFly|<span style="color:#EA0">~</span>]] 19:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:Wondered if you were coming back! =P  Thanks so much for fixing that again, I had no clue what was making it do that.  I had kept trying to work the "short" option into the unitlist stuff, but I couldn't get it to work right.  It was starting to drive me a little crazy, so I split it into "entry" and "shortentry", at least for now.  Somebody can always go back and combine them again.  Anyway, it seems that people are focusing on updating the Main Page right now, so if you've got any suggestions, add to the forums!  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User Talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 14:50, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

:Oh one reason, we thrive in private chats is to share SEO tips, although the wiki is more than Advance Wars, the Alexa rank and Google rank benefit from "-''whatever''- Wiki" as the main landing page, since "Main Page" is probably not searched outside of Moydow's test :D When people looking for a wiki on it, they won't know the name and will plug "X wiki" into the search engine.

== Template request ==

Hey! Since you do some pretty awesome templates job (yay for roundy), I was wondering if you could make a template sort of like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/New_Bark_Town#Items this one] since I sort of wanna do [http://warswiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Dany36/Sandbox this] for the Starting units section of [[Dark Ambition]] (and, eventually, all AW campaign missions). Unless, of course, you have a better way to go about this. I just figured that normal tables aren't really the best way to display this kind of information. What do you think? [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 01:54, 11 August 2010 (BST)
:No prob!  Check [[Template:Unitlist/header]] for the header, and links to the entry and footer templates.  They not all finished yet, but that's what I'd like to be using. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 02:02, 11 August 2010 (BST)
::Alright! I'll finish uploading all of the sprites tonight and see what I can do. Thanks! [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 02:25, 11 August 2010 (BST)
:::Great, thanks.  =)  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 02:28, 11 August 2010 (BST)

Hey KC, just to let you know we have a new ally in Lylat Wiki- see my Talk page for information. Could you update accordingly? Cheers! [[User:JoJo|~JoJo]] 22:32, 12 August 2010 (BST)
:That's great!  Done and done. =] — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 08:02, 13 August 2010 (BST)

== Suggestions ==

Hey KC! It seems that JoJo is away more often than not so I'm going to speak to you about this instead.

I have several suggestions of stuff that could be done only by admins/bureaucrats so could you do all that you think are good ideas?
#Any admin can add different extensions to [[Special:Interwiki]] - I think you should add an extension for all the different wikis that you are affiliated with (i.e. Mariowiki = http://mariowiki.com/$1).
#[http://warswiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 This] is a bot attack. That's when a bot continuously makes accounts and spams with them. To prevent that, promote yourself to check user using [[Special:Userrights]] and then use the function [[Special:Checkuser]] on one of the accounts. After that you will get an IP address, go to [[Special:Block]] and instead of typing a name, type the IP address and it will block that user and all accounts that they make in the future.

I had a third but it flew out of my mind. Once again, these are suggestions, not orders though I think they are good ideas, it's up to you and JoJo in the end. Yours truly, [[User:Warguy1|Warguy1]].

:Thanks for the suggestions, help is always appreciated!  I had thought about the interwiki stuff, but like a lot of other things I'd like to do here, it got bumped to the back burner when school started up again.  I've actually got more wiki work done today than I have in a while.  If I can figure that all out, I'll get it done.  As for Checkuser, I don't currently have the authority to access Special:UserRights, unfortunately.  I'll have to talk to JoJo about that.  ;) — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 21:27, 25 September 2010 (BST)
::Oh, I see, may I suggest you talk to JoJo about creating a rank called "Owner" for herself and then making you a bureaucrat? It's a great way to allow bureaucrats onto the wiki while not allowing them to take over.--[[User:Warguy1|Warguy1]] 05:17, 26 September 2010 (BST)
:::The new title wouldn't be needed, but is a good idea for whenever Wars Wiki gets bigger and needs more staff. When I get back in town, I can send JoJo a message explaining how we set WiKirby up so that Admins can promote/demote people to/from autopatrol, patroller, checkuser, and admin, but only bureaucrats add bureaucrats and remove bureaucrats. It's pretty simple and straightforward, using (true) beside the user rights in the LocalSettings.php. [[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 13:26, 27 September 2010 (BST)
::::Further to the bot attack issue, please note the dates- July 2009. Since then there have been bot prevention measures installed, and in the year past that, I think I have weeded out only one, maybe two bots/spammers. Compare this to the WC forums getting them signing up on average 2-4 per week... which is better than when we would get 12-16 per week. [[User:JoJo|~JoJo]] 14:39, 2 October 2010 (BST)

== StrategyWiki logo ==

Seeing as it's the only one on either NIWA template that doesn't have a logo, you could either use [[:File:Strategywiki logo.png|this]], which I uploaded earlier, or I can upload the favicon in 200px PNG format instead. [[User:Moydow|<font color="green">Moy</font>]][[User talk:Moydow|<font color="orange">dow</font>]] 18:34, 15 October 2010 (BST)
:It would be great if they had an image that doesn't use any text.  The icons on the NIWA templates only show up as 15px, so any writing doesn't look good.  I was going to add that image to the Main Page's NIWA template, but when I hit Preview, the "Wiki" part is barely discernible, and "Strategy" is almost totally see-through. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 18:43, 15 October 2010 (BST)
:Well, I'll add it for the time being.  It doesn't look right without that ninth image. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 18:50, 15 October 2010 (BST)
::Is [[:File:Header2.png|this]] any better? It's the best I can get, but feel free to delete it if it doesn't look right. To be honest, a non-text icon is unlikely. [[User:Moydow|<font color="green">Moy</font>]][[User talk:Moydow|<font color="orange">dow</font>]] 20:16, 15 October 2010 (BST)
:::Actually, I think the first one's the best.  I blew that one up so the text was just readable enough, then I did the same to the other icons so it didn't look out of place.  I didn't think there was a non-text logo, but the NIWA templates don't look bad this way. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 22:07, 15 October 2010 (BST)

== Proposal? ==

Hi, I'm Cmario17 - a user that just joined from the Mariowiki.  I only own the orignial Advance Wars, but I think I can contribute.  I think it would be a good idea to have the links go directly to their suggested page, not the disambiguation page.  This sounds confusing (even to myself), so I'll give an example: On the page for the game Advance Wars, a list of the units is displayed.  [[Bomber]] and [[Infantry]] both lead to disambiguation pages (those are the only two I checked), and the page, "Bomber (Advance Wars)" doesn't even seem to exist!  We should direct the "Bomber" and "Infantry" links on the Advance Wars page to "Bomber (Advance Wars)" and "Infantry (Advance Wars)"- which are not to be confused with the Batallion Wars games.
<br>
Just a suggestion.  I didn't know where else to ask.<br>
[[User:Cmario17|Cmario17]] 20:17, 1 March 2011 (GMT)

:Hello.  Thanks for pointing that out; help is always appreciated.  The templates and images used in the games' unit lists need to be reworked in order to link directly to the appropriate page.  If the links were correct, than the images wouldn't appear.  I'll get things fixed up shortly.  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 14:30, 3 March 2011 (GMT)

== Dealing With Spam ==

Is there any chance I could entrust you with updating the [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] whenever there is a need to? There's not much to it, I'll give you an example.

Let's take the last spammer to post a URL...

<pre>http://www.toptopdir.com
1. Remove the prefixes -- topdir.com
2. add \b to the start and end of the domain - it essentially acts like a wildcard for both the start and end of the domain name 
-- \btopdir.com\b 
</pre>

Also, where you know you have a spammer account, feel free to use the Merge and Delete tool to cut out the high number of spam accounts we seem to be accumulating.

I'd do all of this, but I'm running out of time to do such things, with so much uni work on my plate. Would you be okay to do this when you do your routine blocking? [[User:JoJo|~JoJo]] 11:24, 3 April 2011 (BST)

:Sure, I don't mind.  I would have done more than just delete/block, but I wasn't sure about the regex stuff.  If that's all there is to it, I can handle it.  Good luck with school.  :)  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 16:56, 3 April 2011 (BST)

::Yuppers! Regex for the [[MediaWiki:TitleBlackList]] is more complex, but I have no idea about most of it so have been following the style you see in there, though we have to be careful that we don't block innocuous pages - for instance, I blacklisted "Meds", which blocked all MeduaWiki pages. Thanks, though! [[User:JoJo|~JoJo]] 20:45, 3 April 2011 (BST)

== Internal Errors with your page  ==

BTW, every time I edit your page I receive an internal error - this is due to overloading the server with the requests, and I have found that overuse of templates is responsible. If you remove, or reduce the number of templates being called, it'll stop this and I'd appreciate it - I don't want to be told to go to a private server. :x [[User:JoJo|~JoJo]] 20:49, 3 April 2011 (BST)

:Thanks for the heads-up.  I just tried to check the Recent Changes and got the same thing (more than once).  I'm in class now, but I'll go through it later. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 15:10, 4 April 2011 (BST)

:It's easy.  All you need to do is take the root address of any page and add the new article's name to the end.  The address of the Main Page, for example, is '''<nowiki>http://warswiki.org/w/Main_Page</nowiki>'''.  You would simply drop the '''Main_Page''' part from the end, add the new article's name in its place, and hit Enter.

:Thanks for the heads-up.  I'll work on getting things updated shortly.  — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 18:57, 19 March 2012 (GMT)

::::I can see what I can do as a normal user, though I doubt I can do what needs to be done.  --[[User:Sgv Sth|Sgv Sth]] 04:21, 29 August 2013 (BST)

::::Updated, and those two accounts are now blocked. Thanks for reverting those edits, Moydow. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 05:11, 14 September 2013 (BST)

==User:New user message==
Just in case you or someone from staff see this, could [[User:New user message]] be labeled as a bot?  The Recent Changes get too cluttered without an option to switch off any edits made by it.  --[[User:Sgv Sth|Sgv Sth]] 04:21, 29 August 2013 (BST)
:I agree, but I have no control over it. It was useful years ago, when the site experienced waves of new, good-faith users and rapid growth, thanks mostly to the affiliation with NIWA. But with so many new spam accounts, it may be best to retire it. — [[User:KC-Earthshaker|<sup style="color:#7038F8"><b>K</b></sup>]][[User talk:KC-Earthshaker|<span style="color:#7038F8"><b><small>C</small></b></span>]] 05:11, 14 September 2013 (BST)
::Deleted the account as of today. --[[User:WikiJoJo|WikiJoJo]] [[User:WikiJoJo|WikiJoJo]] 13:01, 10 November 2013 (GMT)

== New NIWA Members ==

Hi. Since your last update, two new members have been inducted into NIWA: Hard Drop Tetris Wiki and Splatoon Wiki. I'll upload the favicons for you, but I need you to update the templates on the Main Page and the Interwiki Table. Thanks! --[[User:Starphoria|Starphoria]] 16:13, 4 July 2015 (BST)
