Jacob: removed banter from discussion

==Proposed Move==
Should this not be moved to ''Category: Customisable'', considering the form with an 's' (as opposed to a 'z') is the form used on the site (see, for example, the quick ref page)... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:50, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
:You are right. The british variation of "customize" seems to be used on neopets. Can make the proper changes. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:16, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

== rhetrh ==
Awesome website, I had not noticed www.pinkpt.com before in my searches!
Continue the wonderful work!

Jacob: Finishing up article

==Finishing up article==
Just finished a revamp of the article after looking through old edits and incorporating it with the current design...a well down breakdown by [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]] I say. Good work, especially with the [[:Template:Infobox neopet|new template]] (it's new to me, alright?). Hopefully my summary is to par with what everyone is wanting, and I can eventually do a run down of the whole article before taking it off my to do list. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 06:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

The '''Acara''', originally introduced as the ''Tigren'', is a species of [[Neopet]] that loves to live by the sea. As an [[wikipedia:Amphibians|amphibious]] Neopet capable of breathing underwater, Acaras are just as happy on land as they are in the ocean. Acaras are fantastic swimmers and posses a thick coat of fur that helps keep them warm in the depths of the sea. They also have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to [[wikipedia:Animal echolocation|hear]] underwater. As a general rule, Acaras are very playful and love to explore. They especially enjoy diving for hidden treasure and playing [[Gormball]] on the beach.

Acaras are inquisitive and curious creatures, and take a great joy in coming upon secrets and hidden things, and quite a few have distinguished themselves as very talented treasure-seekers. Some condemn Acaras for being nosey and asking a few too many questions, though they only have a genuine desire to learn.

Originally released as a [[Limited Edition|limited edition]] Neopet, they have since become common Neopet at an uncertain time.

==Colours==
As of January 2010, the Acara can come in 49 different [[colour|colours]]:

==Tigren==
[[Image:Tigren green baby.gif|right]]
The Acara was originally called the Tigren. The Tigren was designed by Perdiddle and chosen as the winner for the April Create-A-Pet Contest and was introduced on April 28, 2000. The name was changed on July 19 for reasons unknown, along with the '''Polypup''''s change to the [[Gelert]]. NeoNews of the time touted the change as "evolution", just like [[Wikipedia: Pokémon|Pokémon]] do.

The write up that came with the Tigren stated: Tigrens are excellent swimmers that are just as comfortable on land as at sea. An air of mystery surrounds where these creatures came from but it looks as if they are here to stay.

Jacob: /* Article Purge */ ...really?

==Short articles needed?==
Do we really need the articles that only state "a game. earn NP. category:sponsored game" or something like that? Most of them will most likely never appear again, and even if they do, you can write a proper article afterwards. At the moment they only waste webspace, I think.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 05:33, 27 Dec 2006 (CST)
:Originally, many of the articles in the NeoDex were like that: created, but with no data in them. the idea is someday someone will be able to fill in the information that isn't known about those types of articles...and in this case, it's these games, and due to them being much older (as most of the newer ones are written when released), not much is known. yes, they are taking up space, but i'm hoping someone will one day see it and be able to give the proper data for it. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:41, 27 Dec 2006 (CST)

==Article Purge==
Some of the articles have a wiki image on them because of the template. Should we delete the pictures as well? --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 15:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

:If the images have no other place on the NeoDex other than on those articles, then yes, deletion. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

:I believe the intention was to delete this once all the sponsor games were cared for? We still have one left, so... --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

::Oh noes! Plz don't! [[User:Journey to the Lost Isle-er|Journey to the Lost Isle-er]] 04:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

:::Trigger finger is on the delete button as we speak. I think you better have a good reason for saying as such, because I still can't believe that hasn't been cared for yet. wow. :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 05:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

NeoDex talk:Community portal/Archive 1

2010-09-04T05:06:57Z

Jacob: /* Community Portal Lists */ goal completed and noted

==Community Portal Lists==
===Completed Goals===
The following are goals which were completed on the NeoDex.

*'''Article Goal (200)''' - 200 articles, our first milestone!
**''? - ? - It's unknown when this goal was reached, but it happened sometime within the first few months of the creation of the NeoDex.''
*'''Neopets List''' - Filling out the list of Neopets and having all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 6, 2006 - Creating an article for every neopet, and users can find/edit them from the <s>Pet types</s> category to which they all are linked to.''
*'''Neopia''' - Filling out the world of [[Neopia]] and making all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 7, 2006 - Created the proper named pages, redirecting to the proper worlds in each, and the correctly spelled ones as well, as there were many seperate pages telling information about the same world, when they could be just one.''
*'''Games''' - Making the [[:Category: Games|Games]] category the official section, and taking down all other game pages
**''March 6, 2006 - March 10, 2006 - Moved all seperate gaming pages into one section, and made article copies of same article topic into one article.''
*'''Article Goal (1000)''' - 1000 Articles before the Neodex's first Birthday!
**''July 3, 2006 - July 11, 2006''
*'''Gaming Revamp''' - On November 21, 2006, Neopets redesigned the game room, requiring the NeoDex to add new gaming categories and other information. Time to get our game on! HUZZAH!
**''November 22, 2006 - December 14, 2006''
*'''"To Do List" to "Construction List"''' - On September 27, 2006, an effort to make the [[:Category:Under Construction|Construction]] list to be the official "To Do List" began. All articles linked to the original were to be altered to link to the new list, after which the original would be deleted.
**''September 27, 2006 - January 25, 2007''
*'''Disambiguation''' - A [[:Template:disambig|template]] was created for [[:Category:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] articles on March 11, 2007. We need to mark ''all'' of the articles with it at the bottom of the page, replacing the category coding.
**''March 11, 2007 - March 12, 2007''
*'''Help Section''' - [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] and [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] are currently working on expanding and revamping the NeoDex [[Help:Contents|help]] section. Suggestions can be added to relevant talk pages.
**''January 10, 2007 - April 13, 2007''
*'''Altador Cup 2006''' - There has been a rumor about a new [[Altador Cup]] starting this June. Before this comes about, as much data as possible should be gathered about the previous year, because it's quite possible the old data will disappear when the new one begins. Hurry!
**''April 18, 2007 - May 21, 2007 - Should the 2007 season follow the same format of 2006, it can be easily integrated with the completed 2006 data. If not...At least it has been completed. ;)''
*'''A "Secrets" Category?''' - Why do we need a "secrets" category when all articles are supposed to have secrets in them to begin with? Help fix articles which are linked to this redundant category for its future deletion.
**''May 10, 2007 - May 25, 2007''
*'''It's "NeoQuest", not "Neoquest"''' - There are 2 categories which have misspelled "NeoQuest": <s>Neoquest</s> and <s>Neoquest II</s>. The proper categories should be [[:Category:NeoQuest I|NeoQuest I]] and [[:Category:NeoQuest II|NeoQuest II]]. All articles linking to the wrong categories should be fixed, and when both misspelled categories are cleared, they will be deleted.
**''June 20, 2007 - June 22, 2007''
*'''PPL Category = Redundant!''' - It was [[Category talk:Petpets|recently found]] the <s>Petpet Protection League</s> category is redundant, and should be deleted. Before deletion can occur, all articles within the category need to be edited, severing any connection they have with the category (this also includes talk pages, whose wiki links can simple be <s>struck</s> through).
**''August 15, 2007 - August 16, 2007''
*'''Misspellings 101''' - There are over 150 misspellings in the NeoDex. Let's try to lower them to under 50!
**''April 14, 2007 - August 23, 2007''
*'''Proper Neopet Category''' - It was decided the <s>Pet types</s> was an improper name for Neopets, and that [[:Category:Neopet Species|Neopet Species]] would be better. Once All articles linked to "Pet types" are linked to "Neopets Species", it shall be deleted.
**''September 8, 2007 - October 14, 2007''
*'''"Characters" Category Clean-Up''' - The [[:Category:Characters|Characters]] category has over 200 articles linked to it! In order to make it more easily navigated, we need to link them to more appropriate sub-categories (where it applies). The easiest way to do this it to label the characters as either a [[:Category:Heroes|Hero]] or [[:Category:Villains|Villain]] (or both if it applies). The goal is to get as close to 150 articles in "Characters" as we can.
**''August 28, 2007 - October 26, 2007''
*'''No Such Thing As Spoilers''' - In the past, it was once deemed necessary to label plots as containing spoilers in any wiki if they spoiled something for the reader. However, this has sense changed, and the placing of a spoiler tag on articles is now frowned upon...but the NeoDex still has one!!! We need to remove all tags from articles which have them, then we can delete the template, which has become a relic of a world long forgotten.
**''January 31, 2008 - February 11, 2008''
*'''Article Goal (2000)''' - On July 11, 2006, the NeoDex passed 1000 articles... how long will it take to reach 2000?
**''July 11, 2006 - September 4, 2010 (or at least noted on this date)''

==Content off Wikipedia==
As a preventive measure: there is content that was copied from Wikipedia, such as [[Neopets, The Website]], but they need to be brought into line with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL GFDL] license, which says that the content needs to be attributed to the writers. (I'm not sure, but perhaps just linking to the Wikipedia article and saying that some content was "taken from" or "based on" it would be enough?) Thanks.

Whereas [[wikipedia:Wookieepedia|Wookieepedia]] is the name of the Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the Neopets Wiki to "'''Wockypedia'''"? --[[User:68.102.193.78|68.102.193.78]] 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT) ([[wikipedia:User:Shultz IV|Shultz IV of Wikipedia]])

: I dunno. I think In-depth Neopedia, myself, to keep up with the In-depth theme. You know, In-depth NeoQuest, In-depth Battlepedia... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 01:48, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

::ehh... I dunno, In-Depth Neopedia doesn't have much of a ring too it, especially not for a wiki. I think Neodex is alright, but reminds me a bit too much of Pokedex (y'know, from Pokemon). Neopedia sounds nice to me. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:52, 12 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Collaboration==
So...i was thinking of a new feature to add to the current events, to bring it more into the spotlight. Perhaps have a featured collaborated article, one which would be collectivily worked upon until it's felt to be completed (or close enough)?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:53, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:With the new format of the community portal, this idea has taken full effect. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

==Item Articles?==
Are articles about items going to be included in NeoDex? The wiki seems to be in it's infancy right now and I'd love ot help out. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:32, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:Articles will be made on items which are noteworthy and have a histroy to them, such as [[Dung]] or [[Motes]]. And your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:12, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Community Live Chats==
We should set up an IRC chat room shouldn't we :) --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 04:06, 5 Nov 2005 (CST)

:something is called for. (would a forum be better/worse?) --[[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] 07:36, 6 Nov 2005 (CST)

==NeoDex Guild==
Anyone want to meet-up / form a guild or generally get to know each other better? --unsigned--

:Perhaps we should list our (primary) NeoName (no passwords now, that would be silly) under who am I? --unsigned--

I definitely think a guild is a good idea. Anyone else up for it? :) [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 18:08, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I'm all for it. a guild would perhaps be a nice addition to the NeoDex. I'm not going to create a guild myself, but if a member (registered member only) would like to create one, I will back it as the official guild of the NeoDex. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:01, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::At the moment i think this idea is defunct, and shall not be considered anymore. Besides, there would be no way for all members of the neodex to be part of the guild should it be created, as it would mean they would need to leave the other guilds. It wouldn't be a very open community. Talk pages of articles here and the official Neodex discussion in the pinkpt forums should suffice. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:03, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

==This portal needs spifified.==
This portal needs some real big spiffying, like the main page. You should make it LOOK GOOD =/ --[[User:62.255.32.12|62.255.32.12]] 17:08, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:I agree, but until we actually have a concept of what this page will actually be, we are stuck on that. any suggestions? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:09, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

is the current portal spifified enough? :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

=='Editors' Section==
At the risk of seeming somewhat uppity, I am worried about this section... I mean, [[User:Makuta Bookworm|one of the 'editors']] on the list has only ever edited the Community Portal and his user page, [[User:Toothless200|another]], excepting the Community Portal, his user page and the sandbox, made two edits, one minor, to the [[Cheeseroller]] article. These two members haven't edited since the 16th March and the 26th June respectively. A [[User:Qazwiz|third]] hasn't been seen sincde the 29th July and only made nine edits to anything other than his user page or the community portal (and was disciplined for at least one of these)...

Frankly, I feel this section could be made useful as a reference for members of the community who are currently active and make significant contributions or were active and made a significant contribution... After all, it may help for a new user to consult such members...

I think at best the Editor's section should be used as a sort of Hall of Fame of editors - no doubt the wrong words to use, but if you can understand from my above comments what I mean... For example, while [[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] hasn't been on for a while, when he was on he made many of the earliest contributions. [[User:Duke of Earl|Duke of Earl]] contributed in a similar manner.

[[User:Mirmadon|Mirmadon]] for her extensive care-taking and [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] for his dedication (when he got the time, anyway ;)).

Oh, and who is that other, tirelessly devoted one? [[User:Jacob|His name escapes me]], but I'm fairly sure he has done more edits than anyone else. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:26, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Had to pump up my ego, did you? ha ha. :D You need not worry of the consequences, as i agree with you. the list as it is isn't very helpful to new members, and actually showing a list of members who have/are contributing well to the NeoDex would be better than an optional signature tag. Something like "Editor Hall of Fame", where admin of the NeoDex point out users whom they believe have done a lot for the NeoDex. or "Notable Editors"...i actually like the sound of "Hall of Fame" really. could always be changed, just as we are now changing what the list is. Should a link to each of these users contributions be shown as well? i'm thinking yes. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:32, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:I removed the list from the discussion, seeing as it doesn't really need to be here anymore (can be grabbed from the history if it wants to be seen). The new list of users will be made shortly. Input is always appreciated, and seeing as this will be a new thing, it will be needed. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:10, 8 Dec 2006 (CST)

==New categrories and articles==
It's time to think of new categories to add it seems. The final 2 articles in the <s>secrets category</s> don't really fit into any other sections. To help this i think it would be good to make new categories for both of them. One such idea is to have a "guides" category, which would show collected lists of information link the [[Mystery Pic Solutions]] and such. Also, the article [[Old Neopets]] makes me think we can expand on the whole "redesign" idea. New articles called "Neopet Redesigns", "Petpet Redesigns", and other such redesigns can be noted (along with the latest [[Neopets 2.0]]). There can even be an category for articles like this as well.

Just giving some ideas on how we can better organize all the data, and looking for feedback. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:51, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

:Both categories sound good to me. I think they'll work perfectly for the articles left under "secrets" and the others. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:33, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

==Versions==
You guys should honestly upgrade your wiki software. I mean, 1.4? 0.o It's 1.10 already out there. [[User:Neoran23|Neoran23]]

:I agree with you. but it's not in my hands, but in the hands of the maintainers of the website. Updating the NeoDex would require updating the main [http://www.pinkpt.com PinkPT] first...which is a process still in the waiting. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:11, 8 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::Uhm, are you sure? I don't think that the wiki version depends on the PHP version installed on the server.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::From my understanding, you need upgraded PHP to use the newer coding. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading As an example], 1.10 requires PHP 5.0.x or later. Also, i only know what i'm told by the maintainers of PinkPT. If they say they can't update yet, I have to take their word. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::::Jacob, is there any plan to update the wiki version? I understand that the PHP version on this server is still version 4 as of this post, but I learnt it the hard way that we are unable to resize uploaded images using wikicodes... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 11:30, 12 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Again, I have no idea when the coding will be updated. This factor should be multiplied considering I've been away for awhile (again, I apologize). It ''would'' be nice to resize images with simple wiki coding, then we could use larger images without worry. But at this point, all we can do is update their sizes manually. Need to find out if this can be changed yet. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Partnership with another wiki==
It has been suggested by the members of the German site helony.com to connect the Neopets articles of the [http://www.helony.com/wiki/ German petgames wiki] respective English ones. For this, you would have to go into the database table which has interwiki in its name, insert hln into the column iw_prefix, http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1 into the column iw_url, leave the other columns blank, then go to the file Names.php ins the languages folder and add
<pre>hln => Helony,</pre> to this list. That would make e.g. <nowiki>[[hln:Neopets]]</nowiki> appear as an interwiki in the sidebar like on Wikipedia. Of course we at Helony would do the same. Please let me know if you are interested in such a partnership :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I think something like this was suggested to me in the past as well by Yukio, saying that other sections were finding affiliates so i could as well. I turned it down, as i didn't think it was nessesary. Think the conversation is in my talk page...i forget. Would like to hear more about this. Are you simply asking for a external link to the german wiki on the NeoDex sidebar? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::No, I am speaking of a link from every single German Neopets-related article to the respective article on Neodex and vice-versa (not more and not less :D). It would be just a small link in the sidebar, as [http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Himmelsdemon here] the link to my profile on Wikibeta. As I suppose I am the only here, who speaks German, I would set the links myself, I just need the corresponding software changes and of course your approval.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:23, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Similar to the way regular english Wikipedia links to articles in other languages, right? With a "In other languages" box on the sidebar? creating and maintaining other language articles is something i haven't considered, and i've outright deleted articles which were created in other languages in the past here on the NeoDex. Of course, you are saying these articles would link to the article on another wiki, so i suppose that's different than having it on this server.

I just don't know. it's something i haven't bothered to consider, seeing as we already have a lot of work to do on the NeoDex as it is. my apologies on not being more hopeful. :S I do like the idea of having our information be more international, because there are many users out there who i think would like to participate, but can't comprehend the english. A gap we can hope to bridge in the future? Or very soon, should we move ahead with this...*ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:55, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:We could use a template a la [[Wikipedia:Template:Wiktionarypar|those used on Wikipedia to link over to other projects]]... Cross-referencing the Neodex and Helony would be a wonderful step, however it is achieved. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:24, 10 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Macbeth, this solution would be agreeable as well (although a template is actually bigger than a small link in the sidebar :/) So just to be sure, do I have permission to create such a template and add it to existing articles? And is it ok to you if the German wiki just has link to your respective articles as mentioned above? Please note that the German articles are not translations of the Neodex articles, but existing articles on their own.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:05, 11 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I suggested using a template like that as the NeoDex and Helony are managed by different groups... Different projects, as you will, so article standards and approaches would be different. What concerns me about having an 'alternate language' wikilink is that some may think it was a direct translation, and not a separate project...

:I am quite happy for the template idea to go ahead here, although we should probably wait for Yukio or Jacob to report back on it. If Helony would rather use the interwiki form, then that's fine with me, provided it is noted that they are separate projects so things like user accounts, etc, would not be transferable across wikis, etc...

:I was thinking a template on this end of the style of the featured articles template might be good... or something more like the wikipedia template referenced above? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:56, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::If you would like to try the template idea for the moment, i'm fine with it. It will give a trail basis to the idea of what you would like to try out. Don't know which articles you would place them on, seeing as you say the articles on Helony aren't going to be exact translations. The Interwiki link sounds more preferrible, doesn't it? ;) Will look into it should i manage to catch up with things. Have a "whole plate of pancakes to eat" or so to speak. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:39, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Under Construction vs. Stub==
It is suggested on the portal that articles that are 'under construction' be built up to a stub - surely it is the other way around? A stub has very little information at all, a bare few words on a topic... An article that is under construction, however, will have specific areas that need to address and are being addressed... if you see what I mean...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:31, 16 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:You raise a good point. Perhaps we could...have the rules be different here? :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:31, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I follow? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:52, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::Have the role of "under construction" and "stub" be switched around. Sorry to confuse. :P Then again, that doesn't really work if someone with wiki know how comes here and gets baffled. What action are you suggesting? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:21, 18 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::::We could do that, I suppose, but I fancy it would be a bit confusing... And an under construction article preferable to a stub, I think, as there is a clear indication of where to expand it... I thought we could just ask for under construction articles to be developed into less-under construction articles, to be honest xP --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:16, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::::I'm thinking the [[Help:Stub]] article needs to be updated to explain the difference once again. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:42, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==Is this important enough to be added?==
I love [[The Tale of Woe]], and when I was searching for things to add to, I discovered there is no article for ''Hissi oil'', the potions that [[Mr. Krawley]] sold. I'm not sure if this would be important enough to be added, but I'd be happy to add it if it is. --[[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 04:22, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think there is enough information to make a Hissi Oil article. Nor do I think it's the only potion Krawley makes. It WOULD be interesting if every potion he gave is Hissi Oil, which would mean Hissi have something sinister within them that makes others transform, but as stated, I don't think that is the case. Personally think he's just claiming it as Hissi Oil and how healthy the potion is like most swindlers who would sell anything for a buck. In either case, think it's important to speak about his potions only in his article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:41, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, thats what I figured, but I just wanted to cheak. - [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Regarding Neopet popularity==
I would like to have some way to notify readers that the Neopet Popularity we reference when discussing the different species of pets is not entirely accurate. The Popularity page itself admits that it only includes created pets, not morphed or labbed, so the numbers can be widely inaccurate... is creating an article about Neopet Popularity the way to go, or is there another article already existing it would be best to tack this onto? I'm a stickler for accuracy and I don't think that anyone in the world would believe that there are really only 2,300 Krawks in all of neopia... (or 12,000 Draiks, for that matter). --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 00:02, 1 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I feel that we have nothing much to write about if we create an article just for Neopet popularity discrepancy. Since it is near impossible to find out the estimate number of a particular Neopet, I'm thinking of one of the following:
:*Avoid listing the number of Neopet on the Neopet articles.
:*Mention that it's the number of ''created'' Neopet. (ie. created 2,377 Krawks as of October 2007)
:Where is Jacob nowadays? --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

::Well, we ''need'' to mention the number of created Neopets, because it's a notable number. Still, it's obvious it isn't an accurate account, and I suppose this could be mentioned in full on the [[Neopet]] article itself.

::And Jacob has been busy, and very bad at keeping up with things that need doing. Still want to complete and edit the NEoDex, though things have just gotten...complicated...is all. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:::Haha, it's okay - At least you're back. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:25, 19 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Image deletion==
I would like to know if there is anyway you could delete the file I uploaded, Old_maraqua.PNG ? I forgot to take away the white background, making it a huge file. I now have a much smaller file, but I was hoping you could get rid of that one first. Thanks! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

:While trying to rush off for work, I really deleted the image before realising it's not required X(. You can always re-upload the image to Neodex with the same filename, instead of deleting. Anything uploaded to Neodex will not be possible to totally remove from the server. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Ok, thank you very much! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Battledome Weapons==
Would it be a good idea to create pages for all Battledome weapons? In the Under Construction area, I see many uncreated pages that are about BD weapons and I don't know whether or not I should create pages for them. Should we have some kind of criteria or something before we create pages for weapons? Or would it be best to make pages (such as Freezing Weapons, etc.) and list weapons? These are all just suggestions, though. I'd appreciate some other "opinions" before I do anything :)

[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 01:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

:The only Battledome Weapons we tend to add to the Neodex are ones that tend to be extremely notable like the [[Sword of Skardsen]], [[Ghostkerbomb]], and the [[Attack Pea]] collection. There are several noted item databases as well as battledome databases that chronicle the full list of these items and their effects in battle. In general, we attempt to avoid creating another of them. At some point in the future it might make sense to add examples or lists of the BD weapons sold in each of the weapon/armor shops on those shops' pages but it's not necessary... Perhaps you would be interested in helping us fill in the [[Battledome Equipment]] page? If you see, the [[:Category:Battledome_Equipment]] is not that big and the items tend to be either a notable collection like the [[Scorchstone]]s or [[Hidden Tower]] items. If there are other "groupings" of weapons/armor like the muffins, motes, etc... those would probably be an acceptable addition but please refrain from making a page for every item. :) --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response :) I'll probably do some work on the Battledome Equipment page and fill in information about the shops. One final question: Under the Battledome Equipment Terms section, I have quite a few terms I can add (tank, league, boost, and some others), but these terms usually apply only to "experienced" Battledomers (people who BD a lot). Would it be best if I added these terms or just left them out? [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 12:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Those terms refer to experienced play, in which they are used to quickly explain strategy and the like, so refraining from using them would be best. External links to websites where people use them, explain them and etc. is fine though. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Attacks on User Lookup talk page==
The most recent attack (31 August 2008, around 12pm UTC) all came from a common ISP, which ranges from 194.8.74.0 - 194.8.75.255. We might have to prevent anonymous editing for the whole range for a period of time if the problem persist.

Or are we going to block all (except logged in users) from editing, like what we did before the mediawiki was upgraded? I'm not too sure about this anymore... Wiki is supposed to be allowed for all to modify. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

:One of the many things which I miss was the necessary creation of an account in order to edit the NeoDex, simply because it made things a whole lot easier to maintain. Hopefully it can be brought back into the fold. All should be able to modify articles, yes, but it seems others are ruining that freedom. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Some spammer is adding gibberish to pages, at least I guess it's one person using a lot of accounts, because it's got a pattern. The accounts which I suspect to be used by him are[[User:CacroLvich]], [[User:SitzeLnoli]], [[User:CnaalErour]], [[User:OlozeLalac]] and [[User:RobocRacch]]. And I think he also was DomtaOrelt, RonopAsbod, AcelrOalcv, OuricDronv and a lot of other spam accounts, like RictaDarsi, who created a lot of spam pages. Could anyone do something against him? --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 14:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I probably was wrong when saying it was one user who added the spam to pages - my new guess it's a bot network or something. When users get blocked like all those vandals, account creation is disabled, so they have to use another computer to sign up again, and I don't think that vandal has 16 or more computers. My guess is that he's a hacker/cracker who controls a bot network or something comparable. Just wanted to correct what I said. --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 17:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

:I only ''wish'' it were that easy to prevent vandalism! Sort of like the movie Minority Report, we stop the vandals before they strike hehe. Unless there's something I don't know about I guess the only way is to deal with the spam as they come and hopefully it will stop soon. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 05:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

::We could implement the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA], which can greatly reduces the amount of vandalisms, while still allowing anonymous users to edit. By default, the reCAPTCHA will apply to anonymous edits with links (which we are currently encountering), new accounts (we had this problem in the past when we disallowed anonymous editing, and it came back briefly recently as mentioned by Likiana), and brute force attack on accounts. If that is not enough, we can further implement reCAPTCHA on new page creations and all edits. Registered users on the other hand, will not be affected by this reCAPTCHA. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== New Head/additional Head Admin needed ==
I can no longer give the necessary attention to this wiki that it deserves. Plenty of you can attest to that. So, I need to hand the torch to someone that can. I know I've been the go to guy for pretty much all questions and situations, mostly due to the fact I've built the wiki from the ground up. Now that my life is filled with complete fail, however, someone else must be able to take up the task of keeping things in order.

From what I've seen, the "head" of the admins needs to keep articles and links in order, thinking about the whole of the wiki, and discovering new and better ways to present and archive data. Requires a diverse understanding of what articles are within the NeoDex, and wiki coding. Good social skills help as well, because nothing makes things more confusing than someone who can't explain something well. This socially stunted man can attest to that.

As I haven't been here in awhile, I don't know who has been keeping the most tabs with things, so I think it would be good to hear from the rest of you how the status quo should change. Again, this isn't an all powerful position in which you can do whatever you please. The Head Admin is just like every other Admin...with more emphasis. Of course, if that's the case, must there BE a "head"? Discuss Any and all thoughts you may have.

My apologies for having it take so long, but I'm officially putting my foot down and saying someone else must take the job of Head Admin. Or stand in. Or become an additional. Whatever. However it's going to be. Just hope we can discover a solution so that the wiki won't suffer anymore due to my failings. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:I will go ahead and say that I am sure many will agree that nothing you have done can be considered a failing. It is more a... concurrence of unlucky circumstances.
:That said, we need to come up with a candidate for a new head admin. I can imagine four candidates: [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[Special:Contributions/Macbeth|contribs]]), [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]] ([[Special:Contributions/Emeraldosprey|contribs]]), [[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ([[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contribs]]), and [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dizzy|contribs]]). They all have their different pros and cons (please don't take offense).
:*Macbeth: Oldest ([http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights Rights log]) sysop after Kym and Jacob, therefore has the most experience. Sadly not very much active during the recent time.
:*Emeraldosprey: Shows very much and constant dedication, is however the "youngest" sysop.
:*SwordFire: Is generally experienced with coding, which includes not only wiki coding, but PHP. Therefore most likely to come up with new ideas and to have them implemented. However, slightly less active than Emeraldosprey.
:*Dizzy: Has always made a reliable impression. One could only complain at the fact that most of her recent contributions are reverts.

:Regarding possible other candidates: I think we all agree that the new head admin needs to be a present admin. While [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] has not contributed for over 2 (!) years, [[User:Cath|Cath]] shows large times of activity followed by equally long inactivity. While I simply show inactivity and currently don't have the time for being a head admin.
:I hope I did't say something that anybody took offense for. Discuss.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I still have some other people to contact, because I don't think this is reaching enough ears at this point. I loathe not being able to focus enough time on things like this... :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sorry about the late response (thanks for reminding me Demon)! I don't know, I've never been the leader type. It seems like most of us have been too busy to devote time to the NeoDex and all we can do is revert. I've been focusing most of my attention on school as my grades have, erm, "slipped" ;P I hope to make up for my absence during the summer which is unfortunately a long ways off. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 19:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

::While I am touched to have been mentioned here, I do not think I would be able to give the NeoDex the regular attention that I gave it circa 2006 and 2007, the level of attention that you all undoubtedly deserve from me - of course, Jacob's shoes would be very hard for any of us to fill. My involvement both with Neopets and the Neodex has been unacceptably sub-par recently, for which I apologise unreservedly, but I am afraid that it was and is unavoidable due to conditions in my personal life at the moment, the details of which (for the sake of brevity and not wishing to sound too self-indulgent) I will spare you.

::I am willing to do what I can here - I still check in with what time I can spare to pursue the recent changes - but my usefulness is no doubt heavily limited by how I am not keeping up with the Neopets site itself.

::No one can replace the hard work put in by Jacob, who nurtured the Neodex out of its infancy to blossom into what is, truth be told, almost a self-supporting project. Whether he can be active in his role or not, Jacob is and will remain, as much as he ever was, the Head Admin: the Neodex is truly his brain child. All anyone else can hope to do is to fill in in the mean time.

::Our admins and our editors have by themselves been keeping an eye out for vandalism, and still able to fulfil the primary objectives of this wiki - to expand, and to improve, its coverage of all things Neopets, and to become the a one-stop resource for Neopians everywhere. I would suggest if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops, being the go-to-person on Neodex policy, and directing the Neodex's development in the future, then I any of our sysops are qualified for the job. I give my personal endorsement and faith to [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 them all].

::On a personal note, while I may not have an active presence on the site as I once did, I ''will'' appear from time to time, and you are all at liberty to contact me - you should be able to e-mail me through the Neodex [[Special:Emailuser/Macbeth|here]], which should also be linked on my user-page in to toolbox on the bottom left - if you would ever like to call on me to address something specific around here - you have total access to my consultancy :).

::I hope I find you all well, and I hope that both Jacob and I will be able to eventually give the Neodex more consistent ministration. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:::I personally don't see the need for a "head admin" as the wiki seems to run fine even in Jacob's absence. During the recent spam attacks, all admins here worked together to keep the site clean of spam even though there was no "leader" to organize them. I don't see why this cannot continue in the future. Any thoughts? --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

::::As much as I whole-heartedly agree with ''nearly'' every aspect of what Macbeth has said (thumbs up!), there is one issue I'd like to bring up. You said "if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops..." The problem currently is, that sysops cannot promote members. Only bureaucrats can, that is, [[User:Yukio|Kym]] and [[User:Jacob|Jacob]]. I don't know whether Jacob will be online often enough to fulfill these duties, and I believe Kym doesn't have the time to look for possible sysop candidates. Of course we as the sysops could always come to Kym with a full-reasoned proposal so that he can promote the people. Question is whether he would be willing to go through the hassle of doing this every time.

::::So I have to ask you, Jacob, do you think you can ensure that deserving members of the community are promoted to sysops whenever necessary - without us having to go to Kym every time this needs to happen? If yes, I can say with a clear conscience that I don't have any objections to the situation staying like it currently is :) --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Kym has enough on his hands to have the sole responsibility of promoting regular editors to admin, especially when he doesn't regularly edit articles here. I assume he's expecting we as the editing community to govern ourselves in such a way to work independently of the rest of PinkPT. Which I suppose brings up the need to have someone else to "lead" besides myself. Still haven't heard any news from him or the rest of the staff yet, and I'm a little worried at that, but I'm hoping a solution can be found and continued (improved?) flow of information can continue. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, it might be a good idea to raise it at the next AIM meeting, then. I mean, the Neodex has always been a bit independent, but I can appreciate the value for his input. It may be sensible to promote a few of the current sysops to buearocrats, make sure the Neodex is regularly backed up, and hope no one goes completely mad with power! ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

::Hi guys, Kym here. Apologies about the tardy response - I was involved in a car accident in South America, was in surgery for a week, and have arrived back in Australia for about two weeks now - the recovery involving many doctor appointments.

::Before I left for South America, I initiated a change in the staff system at PPT, and have spent the past two weeks implementing the changes etc. All staff here are required to sign up at http://www.pinkpt.com/forum - make sure you PM me your username so I can give you access to the private staff board. All staff decisions will be made from there. As I check that board every day now, I can be contacted if anyone ever needs me.

::The appointment of Jacob's replacement is necessary - and I will be working with all staff here at the NeoDex to assure that the transition goes smoothly. Anyone interested in Jacob's position should email me kym@kymhuynh.com with their application.

I'd like to have every edit patrolled because we might else let things slip past, like [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Lutari&diff=prev&oldid=35187 that edit] which broke a link.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 22:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Daily Dare ==
Wondering if one page needs to be made with all relevant info about previous years challenges.
at the moment, there is only a [[Daily Dare 2007]] page which i have edited slightly to include new info about 2009's challenges. Perhaps the page title needs to only be changed?
[[User:Corythepaperboy|Corythepaperboy]] 06:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Wiki protection ==

Maybe we should set the wiki to allowing registered users only and require new accounts to be confirmed by sysops before they can edit? I know I have seen that option in the documentation somewhere, would have to dig around a bit...--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 17:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:Requiring accounts to be sysop-activated seems a bit far - plus, how are we meant to distinguish the accounts that ''will'' become good users from the ones that will not, based on no edits? Forcing registration again sounds like a good idea, though. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

::Well, the main reason why I suggested activation by hand was that we might get mass registrations like [[User:EltroRolri]], [[User:OuricDronv]], [[User:OlotrVarac]] etc (see [[Special:Logs/Block]] from January 8th). I will wait for more feedback for now and then talk to Kym about that. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:::In most cases, these kind of accounts were created using a bot, which can be prevented by implementing something random like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit |ConfirmEdit] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA]]. We can further extend it to anonymous edits to prevent anonymous bots from editing. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

::::Thanks SwordFire :D If no one has any objections, I will mention it to Kym on the next staff meeting.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 09:12, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Update: I have now implemented reCAPTCHA. It should be triggered on registration and whenever external links are added. I think that should make blocking anonymous users obsolete. That can still be implemented if necessary.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 14:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::Great work! :) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 21:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

== Avatar items? ==
Do you think that popular avvie items such as the [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] should have their own articles on the NeoDex? Idk, because there are popular Hidden Tower items' articles and it would definitely not make sense if FQD didn't have its' own article. [[User:A Neezles A|Charlotte xoxo]] 22:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:These items are notable, but in my opinion do not have a lot of information to become an article. They can be combine with [[Zafara Double Agent]] and [[Faerie Queen]] respectively, under a sub-header. We can then redirect [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] to these two main articles. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

== Move restriction ==

To prevent (future) grief to everyone here, I'm going to request for a move restriction to new Nexdex accounts. This will prevent anybody from create a new account just to start moving articles all over the place. I'll not mention how long will it take for an account to be allowed to move an article though.

This will take some time to implement, depending on how fast Kym access the server and make the modification. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:I love this idea, but I don't know, Hagrid a.k.a Wheeler a.k.a. Tewapack a.k.a Willy on Wheels a.k.a. 'B Neezles B' might stop doing the move mess-up and start to vandalise pages, remove content, and that kind of stuff. And this option can't really be done because I think Wikipedia doesn't have this kind of thing. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::SwordFire, you are the greatest. *grovels at your feet* If Wheels of whatever he goes by starts to do any of that stuff, it is a lot easier (and less confusing) to undo it. If this request is approved I will definitely sleep sounder at night ;) --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 16:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::Also, don't forget that he might stop this moving business and start vandalising. He did change dung into $|-|17, you know. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Another restriction that I can think of is to request all Neodex users to add an email account and confirm it. That way, Vandals have to go through several steps before he/she can do some damage. But I'll need to look into this first.

::::As for the vandalism, the only way to partially prevent this is to implement a full lockdown (ie. no anonymous edit, account approval by sysop, etc.), which I do not really prefer. Moreever, those accounts which sysop approved might be vandals themselves. But I'm open for suggestions. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::BTW, a vandal may start being helpful, try to go admin, and then start vandalizing with admin powers and deleting the good pages and creating bad ones, and protect them. Or we could just block moving for non-admins all along. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::At the moment, I don't think anybody is going to be promoted to sysop, unless we have an active bureaucrat first. As at the moment, the two bureaucrats in Neodex might not be able to act fast enough to stop a rogue sysop, since they have to concentrate on the whole pinkpt site. But that is beside the point. Right now, we have to do something to the current situation first. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:56, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::If you think about it, if you only allow editing (for all articles) for autoconfirmed users and above, it is almost similar to kicking everybody (except bureaucrats, sysops and users who are already autoconfirmed) out of Neodex. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:49, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::I agree, because wikis are meant to be edited by ''everyone'', and if this would be done I'd only put this restriction on CERTAIN articles... [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 18:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we could also get [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Newuserlog Extension:Newuserlog]? It is particularly useful because it (theoretically) logs when a user creates a sockpuppet. There might be ways to get around it, though. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 23:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

::Newuserlog is pointless, as the very top of the link says the software is obselete, and has been updated since version 1.14.0 of the mediawiki coding. Then again, we don't ''have'' that version, so... --[[Special:Contributions/69.217.164.170|69.217.164.170]] 23:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:::For Newuserlog, we could request to update the wikimedia software instead of installing the extension. Since it is already implemented in 1.14.0, might as well update the whole software. :) I've been waiting for Kym to respond to my previous PM for a long time, so might as well ask him to update rather than implement.

== Question about Requirements for Sysops ==
I have a question: What are the requirements for becoming a sysop? It doesn't seem to be posted on this website.

*'''Game Template''' - A [[Template:Infobox Game|template]] was created by [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] on November 24, 2006, which will be placed on every single gaming article ([[:Category:Sponsored Games|sponsored games can be exempt]]).
*'''Altador Cup Catch-Up''' - With the release of every year's [[Altador Cup]], many changes of take place: New team rosters, new teams (possibly), missing teams, new images, new participation methods, etc. However, lots of this information still needs to be implemented in their respective articles, and it doesn't help that Neopets has now implemented a policy of clearing all Altador Cup related pages when the tournament is over. The goal is to gather as much information as we can, so that next year we are more prepared for the release.
*'''"Under Construction" Category Clean-Up''' - The [[:Category:Under Construction|Under Construction]] category has over 200 articles linked to it! In order to make it more easily navigated, we need to complete articles linked to the category as much as we can, either fully are make them complete enough to be a [[Help:Stub|stub]]. The goal is to get as close to 150 articles in "Under Construction" as we can.

Jacob: /* Ummm.... */ ...really? Goal complete?

==Community Portal Lists==
===Completed Goals===
The following are goals which were completed on the NeoDex.

*'''Article Goal (200)''' - 200 articles, our first milestone!
**''? - ? - It's unknown when this goal was reached, but it happened sometime within the first few months of the creation of the NeoDex.''
*'''Neopets List''' - Filling out the list of Neopets and having all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 6, 2006 - Creating an article for every neopet, and users can find/edit them from the <s>Pet types</s> category to which they all are linked to.''
*'''Neopia''' - Filling out the world of [[Neopia]] and making all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 7, 2006 - Created the proper named pages, redirecting to the proper worlds in each, and the correctly spelled ones as well, as there were many seperate pages telling information about the same world, when they could be just one.''
*'''Games''' - Making the [[:Category: Games|Games]] category the official section, and taking down all other game pages
**''March 6, 2006 - March 10, 2006 - Moved all seperate gaming pages into one section, and made article copies of same article topic into one article.''
*'''Article Goal (1000)''' - 1000 Articles before the Neodex's first Birthday!
**''July 3, 2006 - July 11, 2006''
*'''Gaming Revamp''' - On November 21, 2006, Neopets redesigned the game room, requiring the NeoDex to add new gaming categories and other information. Time to get our game on! HUZZAH!
**''November 22, 2006 - December 14, 2006''
*'''"To Do List" to "Construction List"''' - On September 27, 2006, an effort to make the [[:Category:Under Construction|Construction]] list to be the official "To Do List" began. All articles linked to the original were to be altered to link to the new list, after which the original would be deleted.
**''September 27, 2006 - January 25, 2007''
*'''Disambiguation''' - A [[:Template:disambig|template]] was created for [[:Category:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] articles on March 11, 2007. We need to mark ''all'' of the articles with it at the bottom of the page, replacing the category coding.
**''March 11, 2007 - March 12, 2007''
*'''Help Section''' - [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] and [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] are currently working on expanding and revamping the NeoDex [[Help:Contents|help]] section. Suggestions can be added to relevant talk pages.
**''January 10, 2007 - April 13, 2007''
*'''Altador Cup 2006''' - There has been a rumor about a new [[Altador Cup]] starting this June. Before this comes about, as much data as possible should be gathered about the previous year, because it's quite possible the old data will disappear when the new one begins. Hurry!
**''April 18, 2007 - May 21, 2007 - Should the 2007 season follow the same format of 2006, it can be easily integrated with the completed 2006 data. If not...At least it has been completed. ;)''
*'''A "Secrets" Category?''' - Why do we need a "secrets" category when all articles are supposed to have secrets in them to begin with? Help fix articles which are linked to this redundant category for its future deletion.
**''May 10, 2007 - May 25, 2007''
*'''It's "NeoQuest", not "Neoquest"''' - There are 2 categories which have misspelled "NeoQuest": <s>Neoquest</s> and <s>Neoquest II</s>. The proper categories should be [[:Category:NeoQuest I|NeoQuest I]] and [[:Category:NeoQuest II|NeoQuest II]]. All articles linking to the wrong categories should be fixed, and when both misspelled categories are cleared, they will be deleted.
**''June 20, 2007 - June 22, 2007''
*'''PPL Category = Redundant!''' - It was [[Category talk:Petpets|recently found]] the <s>Petpet Protection League</s> category is redundant, and should be deleted. Before deletion can occur, all articles within the category need to be edited, severing any connection they have with the category (this also includes talk pages, whose wiki links can simple be <s>struck</s> through).
**''August 15, 2007 - August 16, 2007''
*'''Misspellings 101''' - There are over 150 misspellings in the NeoDex. Let's try to lower them to under 50!
**''April 14, 2007 - August 23, 2007''
*'''Proper Neopet Category''' - It was decided the <s>Pet types</s> was an improper name for Neopets, and that [[:Category:Neopet Species|Neopet Species]] would be better. Once All articles linked to "Pet types" are linked to "Neopets Species", it shall be deleted.
**''September 8, 2007 - October 14, 2007''
*'''"Characters" Category Clean-Up''' - The [[:Category:Characters|Characters]] category has over 200 articles linked to it! In order to make it more easily navigated, we need to link them to more appropriate sub-categories (where it applies). The easiest way to do this it to label the characters as either a [[:Category:Heroes|Hero]] or [[:Category:Villains|Villain]] (or both if it applies). The goal is to get as close to 150 articles in "Characters" as we can.
**''August 28, 2007 - October 26, 2007''
*'''No Such Thing As Spoilers''' - In the past, it was once deemed necessary to label plots as containing spoilers in any wiki if they spoiled something for the reader. However, this has sense changed, and the placing of a spoiler tag on articles is now frowned upon...but the NeoDex still has one!!! We need to remove all tags from articles which have them, then we can delete the template, which has become a relic of a world long forgotten.
**''January 31, 2008 - February 11, 2008''

==Content off Wikipedia==
As a preventive measure: there is content that was copied from Wikipedia, such as [[Neopets, The Website]], but they need to be brought into line with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL GFDL] license, which says that the content needs to be attributed to the writers. (I'm not sure, but perhaps just linking to the Wikipedia article and saying that some content was "taken from" or "based on" it would be enough?) Thanks. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 16:33, 2 Apr 2006 (CDT)

:*bows* thank you for bringing this to my attention. Will make a link to it on the discussion page (along with other articles).--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:31, 3 Apr 2006 (CDT)

::In line with the GFDL, I believe that is still illegal. You have to include it in the References section, the original URL. You may want to add to the general footer that this content is under the GFDL, and may have been taken from Wikipedia. You'll need the notice somewhere. Maybe create a template, a 'Licensed from Wikipedia' one? --Unsigned by 82.27.224.85, 20:43, 16 Nov 2006

=="Wockypedia"?==
Whereas [[wikipedia:Wookieepedia|Wookieepedia]] is the name of the Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the Neopets Wiki to "'''Wockypedia'''"? --[[User:68.102.193.78|68.102.193.78]] 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT) ([[wikipedia:User:Shultz IV|Shultz IV of Wikipedia]])

: I dunno. I think In-depth Neopedia, myself, to keep up with the In-depth theme. You know, In-depth NeoQuest, In-depth Battlepedia... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 01:48, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

::ehh... I dunno, In-Depth Neopedia doesn't have much of a ring too it, especially not for a wiki. I think Neodex is alright, but reminds me a bit too much of Pokedex (y'know, from Pokemon). Neopedia sounds nice to me. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:52, 12 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Collaboration==
So...i was thinking of a new feature to add to the current events, to bring it more into the spotlight. Perhaps have a featured collaborated article, one which would be collectivily worked upon until it's felt to be completed (or close enough)?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:53, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:With the new format of the community portal, this idea has taken full effect. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

==Item Articles?==
Are articles about items going to be included in NeoDex? The wiki seems to be in it's infancy right now and I'd love ot help out. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:32, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:Articles will be made on items which are noteworthy and have a histroy to them, such as [[Dung]] or [[Motes]]. And your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:12, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Community Live Chats==
We should set up an IRC chat room shouldn't we :) --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 04:06, 5 Nov 2005 (CST)

:something is called for. (would a forum be better/worse?) --[[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] 07:36, 6 Nov 2005 (CST)

==NeoDex Guild==
Anyone want to meet-up / form a guild or generally get to know each other better? --unsigned--

:Perhaps we should list our (primary) NeoName (no passwords now, that would be silly) under who am I? --unsigned--

I definitely think a guild is a good idea. Anyone else up for it? :) [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 18:08, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I'm all for it. a guild would perhaps be a nice addition to the NeoDex. I'm not going to create a guild myself, but if a member (registered member only) would like to create one, I will back it as the official guild of the NeoDex. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:01, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::At the moment i think this idea is defunct, and shall not be considered anymore. Besides, there would be no way for all members of the neodex to be part of the guild should it be created, as it would mean they would need to leave the other guilds. It wouldn't be a very open community. Talk pages of articles here and the official Neodex discussion in the pinkpt forums should suffice. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:03, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

==This portal needs spifified.==
This portal needs some real big spiffying, like the main page. You should make it LOOK GOOD =/ --[[User:62.255.32.12|62.255.32.12]] 17:08, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:I agree, but until we actually have a concept of what this page will actually be, we are stuck on that. any suggestions? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:09, 30 Aug 2006 (CDT)

is the current portal spifified enough? :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:33, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

=='Editors' Section==
At the risk of seeming somewhat uppity, I am worried about this section... I mean, [[User:Makuta Bookworm|one of the 'editors']] on the list has only ever edited the Community Portal and his user page, [[User:Toothless200|another]], excepting the Community Portal, his user page and the sandbox, made two edits, one minor, to the [[Cheeseroller]] article. These two members haven't edited since the 16th March and the 26th June respectively. A [[User:Qazwiz|third]] hasn't been seen sincde the 29th July and only made nine edits to anything other than his user page or the community portal (and was disciplined for at least one of these)...

Frankly, I feel this section could be made useful as a reference for members of the community who are currently active and make significant contributions or were active and made a significant contribution... After all, it may help for a new user to consult such members...

I think at best the Editor's section should be used as a sort of Hall of Fame of editors - no doubt the wrong words to use, but if you can understand from my above comments what I mean... For example, while [[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] hasn't been on for a while, when he was on he made many of the earliest contributions. [[User:Duke of Earl|Duke of Earl]] contributed in a similar manner.

[[User:Mirmadon|Mirmadon]] for her extensive care-taking and [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] for his dedication (when he got the time, anyway ;)).

Oh, and who is that other, tirelessly devoted one? [[User:Jacob|His name escapes me]], but I'm fairly sure he has done more edits than anyone else. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:26, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Had to pump up my ego, did you? ha ha. :D You need not worry of the consequences, as i agree with you. the list as it is isn't very helpful to new members, and actually showing a list of members who have/are contributing well to the NeoDex would be better than an optional signature tag. Something like "Editor Hall of Fame", where admin of the NeoDex point out users whom they believe have done a lot for the NeoDex. or "Notable Editors"...i actually like the sound of "Hall of Fame" really. could always be changed, just as we are now changing what the list is. Should a link to each of these users contributions be shown as well? i'm thinking yes. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:32, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:I removed the list from the discussion, seeing as it doesn't really need to be here anymore (can be grabbed from the history if it wants to be seen). The new list of users will be made shortly. Input is always appreciated, and seeing as this will be a new thing, it will be needed. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:10, 8 Dec 2006 (CST)

==New categrories and articles==
It's time to think of new categories to add it seems. The final 2 articles in the <s>secrets category</s> don't really fit into any other sections. To help this i think it would be good to make new categories for both of them. One such idea is to have a "guides" category, which would show collected lists of information link the [[Mystery Pic Solutions]] and such. Also, the article [[Old Neopets]] makes me think we can expand on the whole "redesign" idea. New articles called "Neopet Redesigns", "Petpet Redesigns", and other such redesigns can be noted (along with the latest [[Neopets 2.0]]). There can even be an category for articles like this as well.

Just giving some ideas on how we can better organize all the data, and looking for feedback. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:51, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

:Both categories sound good to me. I think they'll work perfectly for the articles left under "secrets" and the others. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:33, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

==Versions==
You guys should honestly upgrade your wiki software. I mean, 1.4? 0.o It's 1.10 already out there. [[User:Neoran23|Neoran23]]

:I agree with you. but it's not in my hands, but in the hands of the maintainers of the website. Updating the NeoDex would require updating the main [http://www.pinkpt.com PinkPT] first...which is a process still in the waiting. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:11, 8 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::Uhm, are you sure? I don't think that the wiki version depends on the PHP version installed on the server.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::From my understanding, you need upgraded PHP to use the newer coding. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading As an example], 1.10 requires PHP 5.0.x or later. Also, i only know what i'm told by the maintainers of PinkPT. If they say they can't update yet, I have to take their word. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::::Jacob, is there any plan to update the wiki version? I understand that the PHP version on this server is still version 4 as of this post, but I learnt it the hard way that we are unable to resize uploaded images using wikicodes... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 11:30, 12 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Again, I have no idea when the coding will be updated. This factor should be multiplied considering I've been away for awhile (again, I apologize). It ''would'' be nice to resize images with simple wiki coding, then we could use larger images without worry. But at this point, all we can do is update their sizes manually. Need to find out if this can be changed yet. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Partnership with another wiki==
It has been suggested by the members of the German site helony.com to connect the Neopets articles of the [http://www.helony.com/wiki/ German petgames wiki] respective English ones. For this, you would have to go into the database table which has interwiki in its name, insert hln into the column iw_prefix, http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1 into the column iw_url, leave the other columns blank, then go to the file Names.php ins the languages folder and add
<pre>hln => Helony,</pre> to this list. That would make e.g. <nowiki>[[hln:Neopets]]</nowiki> appear as an interwiki in the sidebar like on Wikipedia. Of course we at Helony would do the same. Please let me know if you are interested in such a partnership :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I think something like this was suggested to me in the past as well by Yukio, saying that other sections were finding affiliates so i could as well. I turned it down, as i didn't think it was nessesary. Think the conversation is in my talk page...i forget. Would like to hear more about this. Are you simply asking for a external link to the german wiki on the NeoDex sidebar? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::No, I am speaking of a link from every single German Neopets-related article to the respective article on Neodex and vice-versa (not more and not less :D). It would be just a small link in the sidebar, as [http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Himmelsdemon here] the link to my profile on Wikibeta. As I suppose I am the only here, who speaks German, I would set the links myself, I just need the corresponding software changes and of course your approval.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:23, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Similar to the way regular english Wikipedia links to articles in other languages, right? With a "In other languages" box on the sidebar? creating and maintaining other language articles is something i haven't considered, and i've outright deleted articles which were created in other languages in the past here on the NeoDex. Of course, you are saying these articles would link to the article on another wiki, so i suppose that's different than having it on this server.

I just don't know. it's something i haven't bothered to consider, seeing as we already have a lot of work to do on the NeoDex as it is. my apologies on not being more hopeful. :S I do like the idea of having our information be more international, because there are many users out there who i think would like to participate, but can't comprehend the english. A gap we can hope to bridge in the future? Or very soon, should we move ahead with this...*ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:55, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:We could use a template a la [[Wikipedia:Template:Wiktionarypar|those used on Wikipedia to link over to other projects]]... Cross-referencing the Neodex and Helony would be a wonderful step, however it is achieved. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:24, 10 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Macbeth, this solution would be agreeable as well (although a template is actually bigger than a small link in the sidebar :/) So just to be sure, do I have permission to create such a template and add it to existing articles? And is it ok to you if the German wiki just has link to your respective articles as mentioned above? Please note that the German articles are not translations of the Neodex articles, but existing articles on their own.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:05, 11 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I suggested using a template like that as the NeoDex and Helony are managed by different groups... Different projects, as you will, so article standards and approaches would be different. What concerns me about having an 'alternate language' wikilink is that some may think it was a direct translation, and not a separate project...

:I am quite happy for the template idea to go ahead here, although we should probably wait for Yukio or Jacob to report back on it. If Helony would rather use the interwiki form, then that's fine with me, provided it is noted that they are separate projects so things like user accounts, etc, would not be transferable across wikis, etc...

:I was thinking a template on this end of the style of the featured articles template might be good... or something more like the wikipedia template referenced above? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:56, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::If you would like to try the template idea for the moment, i'm fine with it. It will give a trail basis to the idea of what you would like to try out. Don't know which articles you would place them on, seeing as you say the articles on Helony aren't going to be exact translations. The Interwiki link sounds more preferrible, doesn't it? ;) Will look into it should i manage to catch up with things. Have a "whole plate of pancakes to eat" or so to speak. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:39, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Under Construction vs. Stub==
It is suggested on the portal that articles that are 'under construction' be built up to a stub - surely it is the other way around? A stub has very little information at all, a bare few words on a topic... An article that is under construction, however, will have specific areas that need to address and are being addressed... if you see what I mean...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:31, 16 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:You raise a good point. Perhaps we could...have the rules be different here? :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:31, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I follow? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:52, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::Have the role of "under construction" and "stub" be switched around. Sorry to confuse. :P Then again, that doesn't really work if someone with wiki know how comes here and gets baffled. What action are you suggesting? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:21, 18 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::::We could do that, I suppose, but I fancy it would be a bit confusing... And an under construction article preferable to a stub, I think, as there is a clear indication of where to expand it... I thought we could just ask for under construction articles to be developed into less-under construction articles, to be honest xP --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:16, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::::I'm thinking the [[Help:Stub]] article needs to be updated to explain the difference once again. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:42, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==Is this important enough to be added?==
I love [[The Tale of Woe]], and when I was searching for things to add to, I discovered there is no article for ''Hissi oil'', the potions that [[Mr. Krawley]] sold. I'm not sure if this would be important enough to be added, but I'd be happy to add it if it is. --[[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 04:22, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think there is enough information to make a Hissi Oil article. Nor do I think it's the only potion Krawley makes. It WOULD be interesting if every potion he gave is Hissi Oil, which would mean Hissi have something sinister within them that makes others transform, but as stated, I don't think that is the case. Personally think he's just claiming it as Hissi Oil and how healthy the potion is like most swindlers who would sell anything for a buck. In either case, think it's important to speak about his potions only in his article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:41, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, thats what I figured, but I just wanted to cheak. - [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Regarding Neopet popularity==
I would like to have some way to notify readers that the Neopet Popularity we reference when discussing the different species of pets is not entirely accurate. The Popularity page itself admits that it only includes created pets, not morphed or labbed, so the numbers can be widely inaccurate... is creating an article about Neopet Popularity the way to go, or is there another article already existing it would be best to tack this onto? I'm a stickler for accuracy and I don't think that anyone in the world would believe that there are really only 2,300 Krawks in all of neopia... (or 12,000 Draiks, for that matter). --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 00:02, 1 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I feel that we have nothing much to write about if we create an article just for Neopet popularity discrepancy. Since it is near impossible to find out the estimate number of a particular Neopet, I'm thinking of one of the following:
:*Avoid listing the number of Neopet on the Neopet articles.
:*Mention that it's the number of ''created'' Neopet. (ie. created 2,377 Krawks as of October 2007)

::Well, we ''need'' to mention the number of created Neopets, because it's a notable number. Still, it's obvious it isn't an accurate account, and I suppose this could be mentioned in full on the [[Neopet]] article itself.

::And Jacob has been busy, and very bad at keeping up with things that need doing. Still want to complete and edit the NEoDex, though things have just gotten...complicated...is all. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Image deletion==
I would like to know if there is anyway you could delete the file I uploaded, Old_maraqua.PNG ? I forgot to take away the white background, making it a huge file. I now have a much smaller file, but I was hoping you could get rid of that one first. Thanks! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

:While trying to rush off for work, I really deleted the image before realising it's not required X(. You can always re-upload the image to Neodex with the same filename, instead of deleting. Anything uploaded to Neodex will not be possible to totally remove from the server. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Ok, thank you very much! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Battledome Weapons==
Would it be a good idea to create pages for all Battledome weapons? In the Under Construction area, I see many uncreated pages that are about BD weapons and I don't know whether or not I should create pages for them. Should we have some kind of criteria or something before we create pages for weapons? Or would it be best to make pages (such as Freezing Weapons, etc.) and list weapons? These are all just suggestions, though. I'd appreciate some other "opinions" before I do anything :)

[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 01:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

:The only Battledome Weapons we tend to add to the Neodex are ones that tend to be extremely notable like the [[Sword of Skardsen]], [[Ghostkerbomb]], and the [[Attack Pea]] collection. There are several noted item databases as well as battledome databases that chronicle the full list of these items and their effects in battle. In general, we attempt to avoid creating another of them. At some point in the future it might make sense to add examples or lists of the BD weapons sold in each of the weapon/armor shops on those shops' pages but it's not necessary... Perhaps you would be interested in helping us fill in the [[Battledome Equipment]] page? If you see, the [[:Category:Battledome_Equipment]] is not that big and the items tend to be either a notable collection like the [[Scorchstone]]s or [[Hidden Tower]] items. If there are other "groupings" of weapons/armor like the muffins, motes, etc... those would probably be an acceptable addition but please refrain from making a page for every item. :) --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response :) I'll probably do some work on the Battledome Equipment page and fill in information about the shops. One final question: Under the Battledome Equipment Terms section, I have quite a few terms I can add (tank, league, boost, and some others), but these terms usually apply only to "experienced" Battledomers (people who BD a lot). Would it be best if I added these terms or just left them out? [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 12:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Those terms refer to experienced play, in which they are used to quickly explain strategy and the like, so refraining from using them would be best. External links to websites where people use them, explain them and etc. is fine though. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Attacks on User Lookup talk page==
The most recent attack (31 August 2008, around 12pm UTC) all came from a common ISP, which ranges from 194.8.74.0 - 194.8.75.255. We might have to prevent anonymous editing for the whole range for a period of time if the problem persist.

Or are we going to block all (except logged in users) from editing, like what we did before the mediawiki was upgraded? I'm not too sure about this anymore... Wiki is supposed to be allowed for all to modify. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

:One of the many things which I miss was the necessary creation of an account in order to edit the NeoDex, simply because it made things a whole lot easier to maintain. Hopefully it can be brought back into the fold. All should be able to modify articles, yes, but it seems others are ruining that freedom. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Some spammer is adding gibberish to pages, at least I guess it's one person using a lot of accounts, because it's got a pattern. The accounts which I suspect to be used by him are[[User:CacroLvich]], [[User:SitzeLnoli]], [[User:CnaalErour]], [[User:OlozeLalac]] and [[User:RobocRacch]]. And I think he also was DomtaOrelt, RonopAsbod, AcelrOalcv, OuricDronv and a lot of other spam accounts, like RictaDarsi, who created a lot of spam pages. Could anyone do something against him? --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 14:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I probably was wrong when saying it was one user who added the spam to pages - my new guess it's a bot network or something. When users get blocked like all those vandals, account creation is disabled, so they have to use another computer to sign up again, and I don't think that vandal has 16 or more computers. My guess is that he's a hacker/cracker who controls a bot network or something comparable. Just wanted to correct what I said. --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 17:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

:I only ''wish'' it were that easy to prevent vandalism! Sort of like the movie Minority Report, we stop the vandals before they strike hehe. Unless there's something I don't know about I guess the only way is to deal with the spam as they come and hopefully it will stop soon. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 05:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

::We could implement the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA], which can greatly reduces the amount of vandalisms, while still allowing anonymous users to edit. By default, the reCAPTCHA will apply to anonymous edits with links (which we are currently encountering), new accounts (we had this problem in the past when we disallowed anonymous editing, and it came back briefly recently as mentioned by Likiana), and brute force attack on accounts. If that is not enough, we can further implement reCAPTCHA on new page creations and all edits. Registered users on the other hand, will not be affected by this reCAPTCHA. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== New Head/additional Head Admin needed ==
I can no longer give the necessary attention to this wiki that it deserves. Plenty of you can attest to that. So, I need to hand the torch to someone that can. I know I've been the go to guy for pretty much all questions and situations, mostly due to the fact I've built the wiki from the ground up. Now that my life is filled with complete fail, however, someone else must be able to take up the task of keeping things in order.

From what I've seen, the "head" of the admins needs to keep articles and links in order, thinking about the whole of the wiki, and discovering new and better ways to present and archive data. Requires a diverse understanding of what articles are within the NeoDex, and wiki coding. Good social skills help as well, because nothing makes things more confusing than someone who can't explain something well. This socially stunted man can attest to that.

As I haven't been here in awhile, I don't know who has been keeping the most tabs with things, so I think it would be good to hear from the rest of you how the status quo should change. Again, this isn't an all powerful position in which you can do whatever you please. The Head Admin is just like every other Admin...with more emphasis. Of course, if that's the case, must there BE a "head"? Discuss Any and all thoughts you may have.

My apologies for having it take so long, but I'm officially putting my foot down and saying someone else must take the job of Head Admin. Or stand in. Or become an additional. Whatever. However it's going to be. Just hope we can discover a solution so that the wiki won't suffer anymore due to my failings. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:I will go ahead and say that I am sure many will agree that nothing you have done can be considered a failing. It is more a... concurrence of unlucky circumstances.
:That said, we need to come up with a candidate for a new head admin. I can imagine four candidates: [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[Special:Contributions/Macbeth|contribs]]), [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]] ([[Special:Contributions/Emeraldosprey|contribs]]), [[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ([[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contribs]]), and [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dizzy|contribs]]). They all have their different pros and cons (please don't take offense).
:*Macbeth: Oldest ([http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights Rights log]) sysop after Kym and Jacob, therefore has the most experience. Sadly not very much active during the recent time.
:*Emeraldosprey: Shows very much and constant dedication, is however the "youngest" sysop.
:*SwordFire: Is generally experienced with coding, which includes not only wiki coding, but PHP. Therefore most likely to come up with new ideas and to have them implemented. However, slightly less active than Emeraldosprey.
:*Dizzy: Has always made a reliable impression. One could only complain at the fact that most of her recent contributions are reverts.

:Regarding possible other candidates: I think we all agree that the new head admin needs to be a present admin. While [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] has not contributed for over 2 (!) years, [[User:Cath|Cath]] shows large times of activity followed by equally long inactivity. While I simply show inactivity and currently don't have the time for being a head admin.
:I hope I did't say something that anybody took offense for. Discuss.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

::Mostly reverts shouldn't be an issue here. We are all doing mostly reverts recently due to spam attacks :P.
::Recently I've to concentrate on my other commitment due to the upcoming Firefox 3.1. I usually becoming less active whenever a new Firefox version is going to be release. During at this time, I'll still be monitoring the Neodex via the RSS. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 07:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I still have some other people to contact, because I don't think this is reaching enough ears at this point. I loathe not being able to focus enough time on things like this... :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sorry about the late response (thanks for reminding me Demon)! I don't know, I've never been the leader type. It seems like most of us have been too busy to devote time to the NeoDex and all we can do is revert. I've been focusing most of my attention on school as my grades have, erm, "slipped" ;P I hope to make up for my absence during the summer which is unfortunately a long ways off. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 19:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

::While I am touched to have been mentioned here, I do not think I would be able to give the NeoDex the regular attention that I gave it circa 2006 and 2007, the level of attention that you all undoubtedly deserve from me - of course, Jacob's shoes would be very hard for any of us to fill. My involvement both with Neopets and the Neodex has been unacceptably sub-par recently, for which I apologise unreservedly, but I am afraid that it was and is unavoidable due to conditions in my personal life at the moment, the details of which (for the sake of brevity and not wishing to sound too self-indulgent) I will spare you.

::I am willing to do what I can here - I still check in with what time I can spare to pursue the recent changes - but my usefulness is no doubt heavily limited by how I am not keeping up with the Neopets site itself.

::No one can replace the hard work put in by Jacob, who nurtured the Neodex out of its infancy to blossom into what is, truth be told, almost a self-supporting project. Whether he can be active in his role or not, Jacob is and will remain, as much as he ever was, the Head Admin: the Neodex is truly his brain child. All anyone else can hope to do is to fill in in the mean time.

::Our admins and our editors have by themselves been keeping an eye out for vandalism, and still able to fulfil the primary objectives of this wiki - to expand, and to improve, its coverage of all things Neopets, and to become the a one-stop resource for Neopians everywhere. I would suggest if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops, being the go-to-person on Neodex policy, and directing the Neodex's development in the future, then I any of our sysops are qualified for the job. I give my personal endorsement and faith to [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 them all].

::On a personal note, while I may not have an active presence on the site as I once did, I ''will'' appear from time to time, and you are all at liberty to contact me - you should be able to e-mail me through the Neodex [[Special:Emailuser/Macbeth|here]], which should also be linked on my user-page in to toolbox on the bottom left - if you would ever like to call on me to address something specific around here - you have total access to my consultancy :).

::I hope I find you all well, and I hope that both Jacob and I will be able to eventually give the Neodex more consistent ministration. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:::I personally don't see the need for a "head admin" as the wiki seems to run fine even in Jacob's absence. During the recent spam attacks, all admins here worked together to keep the site clean of spam even though there was no "leader" to organize them. I don't see why this cannot continue in the future. Any thoughts? --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

::::As much as I whole-heartedly agree with ''nearly'' every aspect of what Macbeth has said (thumbs up!), there is one issue I'd like to bring up. You said "if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops..." The problem currently is, that sysops cannot promote members. Only bureaucrats can, that is, [[User:Yukio|Kym]] and [[User:Jacob|Jacob]]. I don't know whether Jacob will be online often enough to fulfill these duties, and I believe Kym doesn't have the time to look for possible sysop candidates. Of course we as the sysops could always come to Kym with a full-reasoned proposal so that he can promote the people. Question is whether he would be willing to go through the hassle of doing this every time.

::::So I have to ask you, Jacob, do you think you can ensure that deserving members of the community are promoted to sysops whenever necessary - without us having to go to Kym every time this needs to happen? If yes, I can say with a clear conscience that I don't have any objections to the situation staying like it currently is :) --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Kym has enough on his hands to have the sole responsibility of promoting regular editors to admin, especially when he doesn't regularly edit articles here. I assume he's expecting we as the editing community to govern ourselves in such a way to work independently of the rest of PinkPT. Which I suppose brings up the need to have someone else to "lead" besides myself. Still haven't heard any news from him or the rest of the staff yet, and I'm a little worried at that, but I'm hoping a solution can be found and continued (improved?) flow of information can continue. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, it might be a good idea to raise it at the next AIM meeting, then. I mean, the Neodex has always been a bit independent, but I can appreciate the value for his input. It may be sensible to promote a few of the current sysops to buearocrats, make sure the Neodex is regularly backed up, and hope no one goes completely mad with power! ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

::Hi guys, Kym here. Apologies about the tardy response - I was involved in a car accident in South America, was in surgery for a week, and have arrived back in Australia for about two weeks now - the recovery involving many doctor appointments.

::Before I left for South America, I initiated a change in the staff system at PPT, and have spent the past two weeks implementing the changes etc. All staff here are required to sign up at http://www.pinkpt.com/forum - make sure you PM me your username so I can give you access to the private staff board. All staff decisions will be made from there. As I check that board every day now, I can be contacted if anyone ever needs me.

::The appointment of Jacob's replacement is necessary - and I will be working with all staff here at the NeoDex to assure that the transition goes smoothly.

== Wiki protection ==

Maybe we should set the wiki to allowing registered users only and require new accounts to be confirmed by sysops before they can edit? I know I have seen that option in the documentation somewhere, would have to dig around a bit...--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 17:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:Requiring accounts to be sysop-activated seems a bit far - plus, how are we meant to distinguish the accounts that ''will'' become good users from the ones that will not, based on no edits? Forcing registration again sounds like a good idea, though. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

::Well, the main reason why I suggested activation by hand was that we might get mass registrations like [[User:EltroRolri]], [[User:OuricDronv]], [[User:OlotrVarac]] etc (see [[Special:Logs/Block]] from January 8th). I will wait for more feedback for now and then talk to Kym about that. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:::In most cases, these kind of accounts were created using a bot, which can be prevented by implementing something random like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit |ConfirmEdit] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA]]. We can further extend it to anonymous edits to prevent anonymous bots from editing. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you think that popular avvie items such as the [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] should have their own articles on the NeoDex?

[[User:A Neezles A|Charlotte xoxo]] 22:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:These items are notable, but in my opinion do not have a lot of information to become an article.

== Move restriction ==

To prevent (future) grief to everyone here, I'm going to request for a move restriction to new Nexdex accounts. This will prevent anybody from create a new account just to start moving articles all over the place. I'll not mention how long will it take for an account to be allowed to move an article though.

This will take some time to implement, depending on how fast Kym access the server and make the modification. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:I love this idea, but I don't know, Hagrid a.k.a Wheeler a.k.a. Tewapack a.k.a Willy on Wheels a.k.a.

::::Another restriction that I can think of is to request all Neodex users to add an email account and confirm it. That way, Vandals have to go through several steps before he/she can do some damage. But I'll need to look into this first.

::::As for the vandalism, the only way to partially prevent this is to implement a full lockdown (ie. no anonymous edit, account approval by sysop, etc.), which I do not really prefer. Moreever, those accounts which sysop approved might be vandals themselves. But I'm open for suggestions. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::BTW, a vandal may start being helpful, try to go admin, and then start vandalizing with admin powers and deleting the good pages and creating bad ones, and protect them. Or we could just block moving for non-admins all along. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::At the moment, I don't think anybody is going to be promoted to sysop, unless we have an active bureaucrat first.

::::I'll explain it to you through the forum PM. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 13:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::Thanks, I'll know what I'm doing now haha :) --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 16:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we could also get [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Newuserlog Extension:Newuserlog]? It is particularly useful because it (theoretically) logs when a user creates a sockpuppet. There might be ways to get around it, though. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 23:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

:Maybe we could also have an [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter abuse filter], which could filter out any page move vandalism? --[[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]] 14:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

::Newuserlog is pointless, as the very top of the link says the software is obselete, and has been updated since version 1.14.0 of the mediawiki coding. Then again, we don't ''have'' that version, so... --[[Special:Contributions/69.217.164.170|69.217.164.170]] 23:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:::Yeah, we only have [[Special:Version|Version 1.12.0]]. Maybe we could use that extension until update to a higher Mediawiki version becomes necessary.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 00:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

:::For Newuserlog, we could request to update the wikimedia software instead of installing the extension. Since it is already implemented in 1.14.0, might as well update the whole software. :) I've been waiting for Kym to respond to my previous PM for a long time, so might as well ask him to update rather than implement.
:::As for Abuse Filter, it is quite a powerful extension which we can consider implementing. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

== Vandalism Investigation ==

Sorry for not blocking the vandal earlier, but I've been collecting information regarding the attacks. Now that I've seen enough, I'm blocking the IP range of a certain ISP for two weeks. User using that ISP will not be able to edit or register an account during this period of time. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:52, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==Recent deletion of this page==
Don't you guys think deleting all versions of this page is kinda overkill just to hide a few? Wouldn't it have been better to restore '''all''' versions except the ones with sensitive info in question?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

:That is a little rough, I have to agree. Though, I forget if that's possible with the current coding. Still trying to clear out the dust n dirt which gathered from my months of not being here. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

== Delete ==

Um, I just wanted to know if you can delete this page. http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Altador_cup_4&redirect=no

I know this is a stupid request but well I just feel that the c should be capitalize and I can't edit it and change it so the only thing I can think of is to delete it but I don't know how. So can you? [[User:Ashpoke|Ashpoke]]

:I've moved the page to capital lettered C. [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 02:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

::Uh oh, you've just created what we call a "double redirect." [[User:A Neezles A|--Destiny]] 03:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

::::Wait, the link still has a lowercase '''c''' though for cup still. So you guys can't change it to an uppercase then? [[User:Ashpoke|Ashpoke]]

:::::The only way the page can be permanently changed to uppercase is if you rename the lowercase page to an uppercase letter and have an administrator delete the lowercase page. [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 20:41, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

== Question about Requirements for Sysops ==
I have a question: What are the requirements for becoming a sysop? It doesn't seem to be posted on this website. For example, how many edits are required and how long does the user have to be on NeoDex in order for someone to promote them to a sysop? Thanks, [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 20:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
:In the moment I don't think anyone will be as there is only one bureaucrat on the site right now. [[User:A Neezles A|--Destiny]] 21:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
::I see. And it seems like the only active bureaucrat hasn't edited for a month. However, is there a way to contact a bureaucrat? [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl34]] 01:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

:::Requirements are a good understanding of wiki coding, understanding of the NeoDex itself, sensible mind and good communications skills. That's in summary at least. I know this has been asked before, but I forget where. In essence, should you be a trusted and capable editor (and should one be needed), such an editor will be considered. Then again, that's how I recall it, and I'm not part of that anymore, so... :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:::I think the easiest way is having an active sysop suggest you on the staff board, since technically speaking, Kym is still a bureaucrat and might promote you.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 02:41, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

==Proposal to add the Abuse Filter extension==
I'm proposing for the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Abusefilter abuse filter] extension to be installed to this wiki, to prevent any future pagemove vandalism or spambot attacks to this wiki.

I don't want to be a brag hard or anything, but can anyone plz put my name in the '''Notable Editors''' section? I mean, I've done so much. I definitely meet the requirements. I've created so many articles about the many notable people in Neopia. Please? Anyone?

Also, I achieved one NeoDex goal; 2000 articles, and because of me, its already gonna have 2,200 and counting ;) -[[User:Journey to the Lost Isle-er|Journey to the Lost Isle-er]] 04:31, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

:Dear Journey. I've been away for a long while, so a lot of what has been going round is not known to me. Though it can be seen with a quick search that you have been very persistent this past month. Kudos on that. And if you're correct on the goal, looks like I have some updating to do in that regard. Will look into it for ya. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 05:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:PPT_July_2_2009.png|thumb|300px|Screenshot of the Pink Poogle Toy homepage viewed with Firefox on Thursday, 2 July 2009]]

'''Pink Poogle Toy''' (formerly ''PinkPT'' and ''PPT'') is a [[Neopets]] fansite which was founded by [[#Kym Huynh|Kym Huynh]] and Alicia in February 2001.

Now maintained by [[#Kym Huynh|Kym Huynh]] and run by international volunteer staff, Pink Poogle Toy is considered by many to be one of the better Neopets help sites and is the largest on the Internet comprising of news, editorials, Neopets cheats, solutions and articles.

New content is added many times per week, and it hosts a multi-topic forum where Neopets users come together to interact and share their ideas. Additionally, Pink Poogle Toy runs it's own podcast called "''The Pink Poogle Toy Show''" and is the home of the first Neopets band "''The Pink Poogle Toys''".

===Kym Huynh===
Kym Huynh, born in July 6, 1984, of Adelaide, South Australia founded Pink Poogle Toy in 2001 at the age of 17. He studied law and commerce at the University of Melbourne and graduated 30th Oct 2008.

===Corporate Relationships===
Pink Poogle Toy maintains friendly relations with the Neopets staff, particularly Adam Powell, Donna Williams (who both have accounts on the PPT Forum) and the friendly Neopets programmer, Mr. Insane.

Members of the Pink Poogle Toy community are often given previews of new developments at Neopets and their opinions on how the game can be improved are at times implemented on the Neopets website itself. (The implementation of the [[Wikipedia:Captcha|captcha]] system in the officially Neopian shops is just one example although it was later removed.)

There have also been friendly banter between both sites with the Pink Poogle Toy's description on Neopets changed to "This lovely pink poogle moans about banner ads and frozen accounts when you squeeze it! :P." This pokes fun at the popular Neopets fansite Pink Poogle Toy, which has a reputation for its users expressing their displeasure about these aspects of the game on its forum.

There are [http://www.pinkpt.com/ppt-references-on-neopets.htm many more] references of Pink Poogle Toy on the official Neopets website itself.

==History==

===Year 2001===
[[Image:Pinkpt-Layout-2.jpg|thumb|Screenshot of Pink Poogle Toy's first layout.]]
Started in February of 2001 by '''Kym''' and '''Alicia''' {a young woman he knew over the Internet}, the fansite started with a meager two visitors per day and displayed answers to a small fraction of the Neopets games (notably [[Poogle Solitaire]] and [[Cliffhanger]]). As the content grew each day, word went around and over 200 hits per day were being recorded by the end of February.

Alicia then created the [[Wikipedia:Oekaki|oekaki]], an online art board. Created on the servers of [http://www.unixdaemons.com unixdaemons], the oekaki quickly became a popular feature on the site and grew into an online community with at least 2,000 pieces of artwork being created every day. Due to the popularity, Sako's oekaki was created alongside the Pink Poogle Toy Oekaki, to compliment extremely talented artists that were emerging from the oekaki.

Unfortunately, the oekaki grew so much that no host could host it any more as it was consuming a large amount of bandwidth nor could Kym afford it. Despite its closure for an extended period of time due to its "insane amount of generated traffic", the Pink Poogle Toy oekaki is now online again at Pink Poogle Toy's own servers.

In March 2001, one month after opening, Pink Poogle Toy was reaching visitors of up to 2,000. It was also during this month Alicia decided to leave. She returned briefly two months later. Unfortunately, a further two months proved Alicia could not juggle her daily life with Pink Poogle Toy so she resigned; turning entire control of the website over to Kym.

Near the end of April 2001, Pink Poogle Toy was receiving 25,000 page views a day. In August, a representative from ''Peel Networks''  approached Pink Poogle Toy with a deal: In exchange for hosting and network membership, Pink Poogle Toy would advertise their US based magazine company. The offer was approved as Pink Poogle Toy had begun to experience host troubles with hosts such as [http://www.virtualave.net Virtualave], [http://www.hypermart.net Hypermart] and [[Wikipedia:GeoCities|GeoCities]].

In September 2001, a new deep blue colored layout created by '''Ben Williams''' from [http://www.hologramdesigns.com Hologram FX] was implemented in an attempt to make Pink Poogle Toy look professional and create organization for the site much sought after as the content volume had grown to over 100 pages. By the end of 2001 Pink Poogle Toy was receiving an average of 8,000 unique visitors per day.

===Year 2002===
[[Image:Pinkpt-Layout-3.jpg|thumb|Screenshot of Pink Poogle Toy's second layout]]
In January 2002, Ben Williams of [http://www.hologramdesigns.com Hologram FX] once again redesigned Pink Poogle Toy with a sky blue layout. It aimed to encapsulate the qualities of playfulness, cheekiness, mischievousness and fun.

Early February 2002, marking Pink Poogle Toy's first birthday, '''Mike''' joined, quickly learning the ins and outs of of [[Wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] and [[Wikipedia:MySQL|MySQL]] to create the [[In-Depth Battlepedia]], providing in-depth information and statistics to all [[Battledome]] related aspects on Neopets. In-Depth Battlepedia became an instant hit, quickly growing into a large site itself.

The forum opened up to the general public and became an instant success with over 600 sign-ups in one week. '''Bob''' quickly picked up administration of the forums, proving himself to be a good role model with a strong vocabulary, all the while guiding Kym through many problems of the forums.

Supporting Bob in helping run the forum smoothly was the friendly '''Michelle''', who once sent in a sign saying "PPT rox my sox!", '''Janie''', a model with two children, '''ChromeFox''', a quasi-celebrity for her run-ins with the infamous [[Mari Jhane]], and many other skillful Moderators. Forum hosting became a problem when sign ups increased, as the first host, [http://www.powweb.com PowWeb], was forced to cancel Pink Poogle Toy's account from using too much bandwidth.

To solve this problem, Pink Poogle Toy was approached by an Administrator at [[Wikipedia:YaBB|YaBB]] with an offer to host Pink Poogle Toy's forums under the consideration it would change to the MySQL version. However, the host was unable to handle Pink Poogle Toy's visitor load, and the account was frozen after one day.

Pink Poogle Toy then found a host called [http://www.aplus.net Aplus]. During the transfer, however, all the membership information was inadvertently lost. Deciding to start fresh, the MySQL version of YaBB was once again used but due to false information about "unlimited system resources" claimed by Aplus, Pink Poogle Toy forums were constantly down, unable to accommodate the growing fan base and visitor load. Once again reverting back to YaBB CGI in the hope that the forum problems would be solved, the forum once again went down after one week.

With the implementation of the news feature installed by '''NeoFan''' who worked with ''Neo-Net'' , updating became a simple task with a little click on a button. The Pink Poogle Toy team was also joined by three charming ladies with wit to match, '''Amanda''', '''Sarah''' and '''Silver''' who worked on the news team to update Pink Poogle Toy with regular Neopets news.

With the tremendous growth in emails the site was receiving, '''robot_blumaroo''' offered to take care of all Neopet related questions. He stayed with Pink Poogle Toy for approximately three months before opting out. The help link was then redirected to the forum help boards.

In April 2002, Pink Poogle Toy was reaching visitors of up to 8,000 a day.

In July 2002, Pink Poogle Toy was introduced to '''Sam'''. Skilled in many programming languages, he quickly became one of the team, sharing ideas, creating extra features and in many regards co-webmaster the entire site itself. His uncanny ability to fully grasp any concept explored and create left the entire team astounded with his deftness, precision and timely responses to any emergency.

In September 2002, '''NeLLa''' joined Pink Poogle Toy as a guide writer, chosen over 200 applicants in the first 24 hours of the notice being posted. With guides such as [[Swarm]] and [[Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars]], her writing skills possessed a jovial quality, which was a major factor in deciding the final application.

Also in this month, '''Harry''' joined Pink Poogle Toy to head the [[NeoDaq]], a department providing information related to the [[Stock Market]] in Neopets. During this time, Pink Poogle Toy's new host Aplus was experiencing troubles with handling In-Depth Battlepedia and forum. Because of constant down time and numerous forum restarts, Kym approached '''Ted''' from '''SimGateway'''  and bought hosting from [http://www.doublehost.net DoubleHost].

===Year 2003===
The third year approached and with it many milestones. Everyone consolidated within the "Pink Poogle Toy Empire" had their own individual story to tell, and while the year had many achievements, there was also a fair share of disturbances. There was great times of joy and friendship, and even times when friendships were tried and tested, some with favorable outcomes and some not so good, watching the backs of various members leave.

Once again many issues took place on the forum. A total revamp of the administration system at Pink Poogle Toy occurred, with the administrators '''Janie''' and '''Bob''' leading the crew of Global Moderators and Moderators into a period of bug fixing. Unfortunately, an issue involving '''ChromeFox''' saw her demoted to a normal member, and a furious uproar took place within the forum over the facts and points of "the case". In two months ChromeFox came back into the Pink Poogle Toy forum crew as a Moderator, and once again forum life continuing as usual.

Nearing the end of January, '''Bob''', the first employed forum Administrator for Pink Poogle Toy (aka 'man-with-big-stick'), resigned. Although many were taken by surprise, the forum crew saw it coming. Bob had achieved his goals as forum Administrator, changing the little forum it was into one of the largest, safest and most friendly forum for Neopets. Many thanks and well wishes were given, and it is believed Bob had carved his name into the minds and hearts of the Pink Poogle Toy members, whose legacy still remains.

After much deliberation, Bob handed his reigns over to '''Big Jim''' (British like Bob). Handling the affairs of the forum alongside the now longest running Administrator at Pink Poogle Toy, Janie, the duo have paved and strengthened the way Bob and Janie started with the help out the Global Moderators, Moderators and members. As of April 4 2003, the forum line up was as follows:

*'''Forum Administrators'''
**Janie
**Jim
*'''Global Moderators'''
**CoolKau
**Fiddelysquat
**Kagome
**Michelle_Belly
**V3n0m0us
*'''Moderators'''
**Airglo
**atamand,
**Bno
**Charisma
**CheezieHotti
**ChromeFox
**Count Von Roo
**CragHack
**CSK
**Cyanna
**FaerieGirl
**Hunter Lupe
**Infernobanjo
**Lina Blade
**MarcoBMG
**Magax
**Marching Duck
**Mina
**Neko
**Nshade
**Platypus
**Raiden
**Sam
**Shy Divine Dragy
**Stephy
**Stodder
**Werepup
**White_Wolf
**Winnerliu

The year also began a string of forum competitions, and fads such as "lets-all-post-wav-files-of-our-voices" to "let's-make-silly-movies-of-each-other". The first ever large-scale forum competition began late 2002 and was dubbed the "PPTbies". Modeled after the real life [[Wikipedia:Logie Award|Logie Awards]], the forum members old and new stepped up to claim awards. The winners were as follows:

*'''Most Valuable Person''' - Shoyru_Lover
*'''Outstanding Contribution''' - JanieJanie
*'''Most Influential''' - JanieJanie
*'''Best Moderator''' - Chromefox
*'''Best Female Member''' - Fiddleysquat
*'''Best Male Member''' - CoolKau and Bob
*'''Click That Topic''' - MichelleTheGoth
*'''Best Newcomer''' - Hunter Lupe
*'''Most Helpful''' - Cyanna
*'''Funniest Member''' - FiddelySquat
*'''Happiest Member''' - Sonchynne
*'''Most Generous''' - V3n0m0us
*'''Best Artist''' - Stephy
*'''Best Avatar''' - Stephy
*'''Good Grammar''' - Knitting Knut
*'''Bad Grammar''' - Yuvs
*'''President''' - Chromefox
*'''JailBird''' - MichelleTheGoth

Now considered an annual event, it led to other creations such as '''PPT Survivor''' (which still is in progression), '''Mina's MMAC''' (Mina's Monthly Art Contest) and '''Hunter Lupe's PPT Staff Sacrificers''', which saw all male Pink Poogle Toy members voted out first.

Early 2003 saw Hunter Lupe heading the new department at Pink Poogle Toy called the [[In-Depth NeoQuest]] Guide. Growing very quickly, it is now one of the largest detailed [[NeoQuest]] sites on the Internet, which contain complete walkthroughs and maps of the entire game. This department was also created in anticipation of NeoQuest 2.

March 2003 saw the Work Shop open at PPT. Encompassing tutorials on how to make models of various Neopets aspects, the idea quickly took on and received overwhelming support and good responses from the Neopets community.

[[Image:Pinkpt-Layout-1.gif|thumb|Screenshot of Pink Poogle Toy's third layout]]
During March 2003, the design of Pink Poogle Toy was changed again. Opting out of the generic "blue" look all other sites seemed to now possess, Pink Poogle Toy redesigned its layout into a bold red, this time with the logo of the Pink Poogle Toy staff drawn by '''Mina''' as its welcoming image. Once again designed by Hologram FX, the new layout expressed a cleaner and professional version of Pink Poogle Toy. During this time, the first ever member to reach 10,000 posts was ChromeFox, a huge accomplishment considering the next biggest poster was behind by a few thousand posts.

Alongside all these new changes, came new staff. '''Magenta''', '''Alex''', '''Mermaid Hil''' and '''Swedevil''' joined the news team while Pink Poogle Toy adopted the talents of '''Mina Kim''' and '''Lina Blade''' as artists. '''Stephy''' soon joined as the graphics artist at Pink Poogle Toy, designing banners and buttons for various purposes. What Pink Poogle Toy didn't anticipate this time however, was the range of talents it was now adopting. It seemed each staff member at Pink Poogle Toy had more than one single talent. Magenta, while posting excellent news also was very well versed in graphic design, while Stephy, who was originally founded as a forum Moderator was soon found to also be an incredible graphics artist. Hunter Lupe, who was also [[Wikipedia:modding|modding]] the forums was soon discovered to be a phenomenal scripter and after critically looking at the staff again, Pink Poogle Toy soon found that each staff member was directly contributing to more than one aspect at Pink Poogle Toy! As a result, the Pink Poogle Toy forums started taking on a more otaku-ish path, everyone lapping up the design atmosphere fueled by Stephy's creations and Mina's art contests.

While these new developments were taking place, more somber issues were occurring outside of PPT. Late 2002 to early 2003 saw what would take place in what is commonly known as the "Fan Site Wars". Many new Neopets related fan sites quickly sprang up and a series of attacks on other websites, accusations, hacking, slander and libel quickly took place.

Pink Poogle Toy attempted to stay away from this as much as possible. After the incidents were finally resolved and a tentative 'peace agreement' was made between the other websites, Pink Poogle Toy once again distanced itself from those websites for it did not wish to be a party to such events if they should occur again. Pink Poogle Toy was created for the fans, and that's the way it will always be. It decided never to take part in any petty politics, which should never take place between fansites.

Just when everyone started breathing again, another round of rumors began circulating, while many of them were unfounded. However this time, the threat came from Neopets itself. Many fan sites found themselves under threat of having their websites removed unless they were in line with the Terms and Conditions set forth under Neopets. Pink Poogle Toy went offline for a period of four days coincidentally during this time, which started a fresh batch of rumors that Pink Poogle Toy was removed which was untrue. However, Pink Poogle Toy once again opened up after its short down time and put a definite stop to the rumors.

In April 2003, forum Moderator '''werepup''', fresh from a trip to Spain, joined the main Pink Poogle Toy site as the newest Webmistress of Pink Poogle Toy. Dubbed Elle by the crew, Elle has given Pink Poogle Toy the much needed female touch.

Well there you have it. The third year so far has had many triumphs and tribulations while also its fair share of small problems, which were easily taken care of. I, Kym, could not have taken PPT this without with the dedication and support of so many people. The forum mods, and GMs, the admins, the separate help of individual people, to list them all here would take forever. However some do stand out in my mind and I would like to take this opportunity to thank certain people: Janie and Bob for always being my "second parents" even though they didn't mean to; Elle for always being there to help out whenever she could; Jim, for spending countless hours talking about nothing with me; Sam, Hunter and Mike, the programming whiz kids with a "all-for-one-and-one-for-all" attitude; the news crew Magenta and Alexa, for being the anchor of the team, and CSK, V3n0m0us, Stephy, MichelleTheGoth, Mina, Lina, Pheny, Charisma, Cheezie and Michelle for just those random fun and crazy talks which seems prevalent among the PPT members. Lastly, Cyanna. While we hardly ever talk, you've always struck me as a very sensible, kind and fair person.

===Year 2004===
This is the year known amongst the Pink Poogle Toy populace as ''The Great Reset''. The forum databases crashed and everything was lost on April of 2004. Since then, the community has rebuilt itself, and nearly all 10,000 members who were part of the forums before the crash joined again, many under different names.

===Year 2005===
[[Image:Pinkpt.gif|thumb|Screenshot of the Pink Poogle Toy homepage viewed with Internet Explorer on November 2005]]
September 2005 saw the overhaul of Pink Poogle Toy. With over 1,400 pages of content, the site re-organized its many scattered links on the front page into self contained categories to make the site user friendly. Pink Poogle Toy additionally made a vow to itself to serve the visitors, by getting rid of all the pop up advertising and download prompts that once plagued the site. This was eventually realized in 2005, when Pink Poogle Toy moved off the '''wh000t networks''' which was run by Kym's friend at [http://www.worldofbritney.com World of Britney]. Although Pink Poogle Toy still contains banner advertisements, the days of intrusive advertising were officially over.

With another redesign by Ben Williams of HologramFX, Pink Poogle Toy now exuded a confidence in its bright colours. The forums grew to new heights, breaking its record of most users online (since the forum reset) of 149 on September 12, 2005, during the early days of the [[Lost Desert Plot]]. This online record has since been broken, but it became apparent the Neopets users were using Pink Poogle Toy as a source of information before it became publicly available, which was totally fine by the PPTers.

[[Image:Intro.gif|thumb|Image Adam Powell created making fun of the PPTers]]
Pink Poogle Toy also saw programmers of [[The Neopets Team]] posting on the forums to interact with Neopets players, even [[Donna Williams]] and [[Adam Powell]]. This would eventuate to Neopets changing the description of the '''Pink Poogle Toy''' on Neopets to "''This lovely pink poogle moans about banner ads and frozen accounts when you squeeze it! :P''". In fact, Adam Powell wrote "Detention for PPTForum!" on an image of the discovered NeoSchools area when members of the Pink Poogle Toy Forum announced it before it was announced by Neopets themselves.

2005 also saw Pink Poogle Toy open its doors to other Neopets fan sites. With the advent of all the new Neopets fan sites, Pink Poogle Toy welcomed them by creating a large link database for everyone to join. The Neopets links page listed some of the more prominent websites, but was always open to accept links to and from sites that clearly have shown a lot of effort in them.

In 2005, the Pink Poogle Toy Topsites, which opened and then closed due to hosting problems, re-opened. It's now the largest Neopets-related topsite in the world and is listed as one of the largest hosted topsites on [http://www.itopsites.com iTopsites].

The Pink Poogle Toy Oekaki flourished to new heights during 2005, making it one of the largest oekakis available. Now on its own dedicated server, the population has once again grown, and on March 3, 2006 had over 20,000 individual pieces of artwork created on it.

Also in 2005, Pink Poogle Toy expanded its Neopets help programs by posting Neopets news, and by adding the [[NeoDex:About|Neodex]], Neopets Graphics department and the Avatar Catalog. 

===Year 2006===

On March 2, 2006, a new website layout was created by Ben of [http://www.hologramdesigns.com HologramFX], replacing the previous layout which started to become cluttered due to the amount of content on the site, solved in the new design which categorized everything into distinguishable areas.

With the redesign of Pink Poogle Toy finished, Kym began to focus on creating a Pink Poogle Toy news team for unreleased Neopets news, a comprehensive pre-template layouts section for users to have on their [[User Lookup]], promoting the Avatar Catalog , and promoting the NeoDex and turning it into the most comprehensive place online source for all Neopets information. Eventually, he hoped the NeoDex to also be used by [[The Neopets Team]] for reference purposes for their work in addition to anyone who wanted to learn a little bit more about Neopets. Kym also saw the potential to turn the entire site into an entertainment network, and eventually leverage the site traffic into other areas of his work.

During the appearance of the new design the "Write an Article Contest" begun to take full effect . Two months after its creation people were sending in many entries to Kym, who quoted he had over 800 emails in his inbox waiting to be replied to in addition to over 60 contest entries to look at, add to Pink Poogle Toy and judge on on March 4, 2006.

Another redesign was made yet again by HologramFX on August 13, 2006, making the previous pink colour purpler and reordering the categories the layout again. On August 15, the ‘’Pink Poogle Toy Promenade’’ opened up for Neopets users to buy from. The Pink Poogle Toy Promenade was a "mall" (collection of user [[shop]]s) owned and maintained by users of Pink Poogle Toy. The '''Your Neopet Dailies''' was also created on ''(need date)'', and contained several quick links, features, and many other things a user would daily do.

===Year 2009===
[[Image:Pink_Poogle_Toy_Screenshot_9_April_2009.png|thumb|300px|Screenshot of the Pink Poogle Toy homepage viewed with Safari on Wednesday, 8 April 2009]]
2009 was a paradigm change for Pink Poogle Toy. With graduation from Law School behind him, Kym sought to turn Pink Poogle Toy from an ad hoc hobby fansite into a working business model. This began with an overhaul of how staff were employed and managed, from the introduction of paid positions at Pink Poogle Toy from late 2008 to enacting procedures and policies to ensure that staff members that worked at Pink Poogle Toy were given continuous feedback and encouraged to developed their own goals and plans for the own portfolios.

In addition to these policy changes, a business model and corporate structure was created and regular meetings over Skype were enacted with all staff members at Pink Poogle Toy, in particular with Administrators for their various departments. As of April 2009, the changes are still taking place.

The following took place in April: (1) A new round of forum Moderators was introduced; (2) The selection of the new oekaki Administrator; (3) The selection of the new NeoDex Administrator; (3) The selection of the new podcast Administrator; (4) The upgrading of the site blog to the P2 interface and the syncing up of blog updates to Pink Poogle Toy's own Twitter account; (5) The implementation of auto links in the news to the NeoDex; (6) The creation of unrated neopets and petpets at NeoPool; (7) The release of 2008's Pink Poogle Toy collage; (8) The opening of the Pink Poogle Toy collage for 2009; (9) An initial revision of the Pink Poogle Toy Constitution; and (10) An overhaul at the oekaki including the introduction of the oekaki blog.

The following took place in May: (1) Nekopan hired to handle the weekly feature posts: (i) Rate-a-Neopets Monday; (ii) Wiki Wednesday; and (iii) Rate-a-Petpet Friday; (2) Negotiations with a graphics artist to start a free userlookup, guild and petpet pages layouts section; (3) The creation of the Altador Cup IV content pages to provide coverage for this year's Altador Cup plot; (4) A podcast Administrator appointed (Ella); (5) Eileen promoted to the new forum Administrator; (6) Third round of forum Moderator sorting to ensure at least two active Moderators per forum board; (7) The navigation on PPT updated with the categorization of submitted guides; (8) Cosmetic fixes to the current layout; (9) New designs at all three PPT oekakis; (10) The re-introduction of weekly themes at the PPT oekakis; (11) New favicons around PPT; (12) All PPTbie prizes sent out from 2008; (13) The creation of the sandbox boards for forum Moderators; (14) An update to the ranking system at the forum; and (15) The forum header graphic updated.

The following took place in June: (1) New Adam Powell and Donna Williams interviews added; (2) Main section clean-up; (3) An oekaki Moderator appointment; (4) A news poster appointment; (5) A Co-Webmaster appointment.

==Departments==

===Avatar Catalog===
The Avatar Catalog is a source for all the Neopets [[avatar]]s! Allowing users to register unique accounts, users can keep abreast of which avatars they have and which they do not by saving checklists that will remember what has been marked as "achieved" and has not.

===In-depth Battlepedia===

The In-depth Battlepedia is the world's most renowned source for Neopets Battledome information.

===In-depth NeoQuest===
''Main Article: [[In-Depth NeoQuest]]''

The In-depth NeoQuest the first complete [[NeoQuest]] information site and remains the most comprehensive on the Internet for both NQI and [[NQII]].

===NeoDex===
''Main Article: [[Neodex:About]]''

The NeoDex is the online [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] Neopets encyclopedia and is the largest of its kind online.

===NeoPool===
''Main Article: [[NeoPool]]''

Added May 19, 2006, the Neopool was created to offer Neopians a more rounded visitor experience. Created to fill a void left upon the closure of [[Neocolours]], the Neopool is the first in its kind to allow users to vote and rank neopet [[species]]/[[colour]] combinations.

===Trophy Catalog===
Added May 31, 2006, the Trophy Catalog provides visitors with a checklist for all of Neopets' trophies, again a fansite first.

==Other Features==

===Pink Ink===
Pink Poogle Toy's newspaper, which contains articles, stories and art pertaining to Pink Poogle Toy, Neopets and other topics. It began in summer 2003, but the first issues were lost in the reset in 2004. Pink Ink returned on October 31, 2004.

===Podcast===
Pink Poogle Toy produces a podcast called "The Pink Poogle Toy Show." The first show launched on August 23, 2005. The show features discussion about the game Neopets but also features the latest additions to Neopets from the corporate world and how it affects its users. Show episodes are released weekly and the podcast is one of the largest Neopets podcasts in existence.

===Custom Shields===
Pink Poogle Toy's Custom Shields were initially created by Mike, a veteran Neopian who ran with [[Ad0]] back in the days of the great Neopian hackers. Proving immensely popular, custom shields are able to be requested by Pink Poogle Toy visitors for creation.

==The Forum Community==
One of the more popular areas of Pink Poogle Toy is the large community run on a phpBB back-end. Within its walls, PPTers (a person who often visit Pink Poogle Toy) converse about all things Neopets and many other topics. PPTers have been described as hard-working, fun-loving insane people, much as Pink Poogle Toy is meant to be. With the help of the forum, a lot of content, and a great community, Pink Poogle Toy has developed their own little slice of online culture.

===The "One Black Meowclops Pen" experiment===
The One Black Meowclops Pen experiment was started by Pink Poogle Toy user [http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4911 jrtman] who was inspired by Kyle MacDonald's very successful [http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com One Red Paperclip] experiment in which he started with a single red paperclip which he traded up until he received a house. Jrtman created the One Black Meowclops Pen experiment to see if he could recreate One Red Paperclip in the world of Neopets.

A small webpage for the experiment was put up on his pet PrinceGrizzly's [http://www.neopets.com/~PrinceGrizzly petpage] explaining the experiment and listing the usernames of every person who contributed to it. The mission was to start with a single ''Black Meowclops Pen'' (worth around 2,000 [[neopoints]] at the time) and continue to trade for slightly better things until the goal of a complete [[Treasure Maps#Secret Laboratory|Secret Laboratory Map]] set (9 pieces) was reached successfully. The experiment was closed on July 16, 2006, due to lack of interest, and the final item, a ''Disco [[Petpet Paint Brush]]'', was donated to the [[Money Tree]].

==Enemies==
Despite the fact that Pink Poogle Toy has such a wide fan base, it has also ranked up a number of enemies. As the largest Neopets fan site, many runners of other sites claimed that Pink Poogle Toy is a site that encourages a multitude of problems, including spyware, viruses and hardcore pornography. Of course, this is not true.

Although the websites sports a number of advertisements, the management makes sure that no illegal content makes its way onto the computer. Not only do other sites have grudges, but many older members of the community also return to antagonize the forums. Still, with over thousands of members, Pink Poogle Toy could be considered the largest fan site for Neopets.

==Mascots==
The most noted celebrity on Pink Poogle Toy is the chicken, Arrow. In the beginning, it started out as an emoticon, but this chicken has been officially raised to the 'mascot' of Pink Poogle Toy. At the top of the forum, one can see the banner. There is a picture of Arrow, painted by the resident artist, the wonderful Yoshi. In various forms, during the holiday seasons, one can see Arrow in such forms as the roast chicken during Thanksgiving, and a Cupid arrow, during St. Valentine's Day

==Influences==
The Pink Poogle Toy item on Neopets has had its description changed to "This lovely pink poogle moans about banner ads and frozen accounts when you squeeze it! :P", a playful reference to the members of Pink Poogle Toy forums, many of whom frequently complain about various aspects of Neopets.

A plushie featuring Arrow exists on Subeta, saying in its description: “Aww, it's a cuddly stuffed version of the PPT mascot!”.

A lesser-known mascot of Pink Poogle Toy is the Oekaki community's mascot, Squishy - a peach-coloured blob sporting a black hat with the initials 'PPT' on its rim. Though it isn't clear exactly who or what Squishy is, this cheery rotund creature has a taste for muffins and has an ever-increasing collection of assorted hats and headwear. Squishy was the winning entry of a mascot contest held on the oekaki back in 2004, and was created by the former oekaki Administrator Gfaerie.

==Pink Poogle Toy's Lost Layout==
[[Image:Pinkpt-Layout-4.gif|thumb|Screenshot of Pink Poogle Toy's fourth layout]]
Pink Poogle Toy had a fourth layout, a pink one that briefly appeared for a few days before being taken down. It made a brief re-appearance during a template switching system Hunter installed but after an unfortunate server reset in which a lot of data was lost, including all the forum files and databases, this template never re-appeared.

==Trivia==
*A former department, Neopets Layouts, offering graphics and templates for Neopians started in ''(need date)'' was merged into Pink Poogle Toy's main site on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 due to quality control issues. It was also used to complement the recently added custom shields section headed by Mike, a friend of Ad0, who is famous in Neopian folklore for hacking Neopets.

Jacob: removed newest random comments, and new discussion...yeah, not much an effort considering the disappearance of mine, but whatever :D

==About the "Enemies" section==
After reading what up to that point was a good well rounded history I become most confused as to who's side the whole "debate" was being argued from. Sometimes it is best to simply refer to the "whole (GOODNAMEHERE) insident" and go disclaimer of spyware and move on. This is up to you as I have no intention of editing some-one elses history records.

Also when I started reading I thought this was a history of this site but at the end I was unsure what I was reading. I can't even begin to consider taking part in wikiwikiweb on that page without a little more information or I could turn truth to lies by total accident. This is not something I wish to do. --[[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] 05:09, 28 Oct 2005 (CDT)

:I've editted the history data of PinkPT as much as i could a while back, though it is still incomplete, and possibly needs to be looked over as you stated by the original authors. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:24, 30 Jan 2007 (CST)

::Come on, not PPT too! Why do people insist everyone has spyware? --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 04:07, 19 Nov 2007 (UTC)

:::Because it's a government conspiracy. They're all in on it. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:11, 19 Nov 2007 (UTC)

==The whole spywear thing worries me==
It sounds like an "OMG I found third party cookies on my PC - I am (a) too dumb to block them or (b) too dumb to know what they are."

Unfortunately it also sounds like the response from this end was somewhat OMG I have no real idea what I'm ...etc etc etc --Unsigned by 194.164.38.128 15:09, 1 Nov 2005
:''*whaps you on noggin with calming mattet*'' okay then. look here. we will figure out how to work this wiki efficiatly in time. heck, i don't like the spam either. i find it very destructive. been working my part to keep it clean. in the meantime, admin powers should be looked over by the proper channels, and how to stop people from placing destructive content on boards and defacing content already placed on wiki pages. *thumbs up* --Unsigned by Jacob 15:47, 1 Mar 2006
:And spammers/vandalizers are still a problem to this day. as it will always be, with this being a wiki and all. We will continue to strive and make sure articles are clear of all destructive content though. All we can do is react to a threat, and do it effeciatly. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:24, 30 Jan 2007 (CST)

==Biased==
Is it just me or this page horrendously biased, in favor of PPT? Just going off memory, it mentions how awesome the admin is, and how loving the community is...etc.
[[User:Littlemac|Littlemac]] 02:57, 28 Jul 2006 (CDT)
:Already mentioned by Jacob - who says it'll be fixed. The entry was copy pasted from PPT's history article on the main site so there was some content there when the NeoDex first began.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 10:01, 28 Jul 2006 (CDT)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>falls out of chair* opps!?! :S Yeah, i did say i was going to do that. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:56, 28 Jul 2006 (CDT)
:I don't think that commenting on the admin's awesomousity, sparkling charm, nor Yukio's dashing good looks violates the NeoDex's neutrality in the least. Why, these are not so much personal opinions, but statements of fact - axioms beyond dispute. No, what I'm more worried about are the references to the "PPT Empire"... It just... doesn't seem right to name the otherwise remarkable, awesome, good-looking Yukio (you know, the one with the sparkling charm and radiant intellect) as an 'emperor'... Most of the departments of PinkPT have been spawn from PinkPT itself, rather than taken by mutual agreement (IDB being the obvious exception) or 'force', as too are all the dozens of guides... and all the stuff on the forums... etc. Of course, I could be missing something here (PinkPT may have bought up all the shares in Time Warner AOL, for all I know), but that's just my opinion... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:34, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)
::I liked the dashing good looks part ;)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:43, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)
::I think Yukio is ugly...There, now it's in dispute. ;) [[User:Littlemac|Littlemac]] 02:39, 2 Aug 2006 (CDT)
:::''*waves hand*'' yo momma!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 06:50, 2 Aug 2006 (CDT)
I think i've lowered many of the biased comments in the article, and it's now up to others to catch what i missed (or i will eventally look it over again). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:24, 30 Jan 2007 (CST)

=="Largest fan site"==
Going by registered members, PPT doesn't begin to compare to NeoItem's more than 100000. So, I think that that sentence should be backed up by something else. --[[User:69.124.116.112|69.124.116.112]] 00:54, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)
:I believe Alexa shows this in comparison to some other sites, with JellyNeo second, NeoLodge third, and TheDailyNeopets fourth. If im correct. --Unsigned by 82.27.224.85 20:36, 16 Nov 2006
::Would like to find the source of that if it still exists. And what is the gauge of what makes a fan site "large" or "popular"? is it the number of members in the forum community? the page views per day? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:24, 30 Jan 2007 (CST)
:PinkPT is the most popular neopets fansite by alexa rankings, yes. [http://www.alexa.com/browse/general/?&CategoryID=1131542&mode=general&Start=1&SortBy=Popularity] --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 31 Jan 2007 (CST)

==Items that need sources==
<blockquote>''During April 200, PPT reached 145,000 page views a day and have past the milestone of the 2,000,000 hits.''</blockquote>
This isn't a typo. this was posted in the article as is, with the date "April 200". we need the real date for it to be part of the article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:51, 1 Aug 2006 (CDT)

==Missing sections of PinkPT==
I've noticed this, but haven't mentioned it till now: where are the following sections of PinkPT?
*Planet Subeta
*Avada Kedavra
*Sailor Moon
*The Laughing Nekos
They are no longer listed as websites on the top bar on PinkPT. Can someone please explain what happened? :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:40, 6 Mar 2007 (CST)

:And now Yukio's recent edit removed them completly. Mind you, i DO think SOME mention of them needs to be in the article, to speak of history and the like, but how to do it can hopefully be figured out in the future. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:45, 30 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Memoirs From PPTers (cached)==
The following are messages which were left on the PinkPT article almost since the beginning of its creation...

<table align="center"><tr><td width="800">
I remember when Hunter was in the chatbox, and he changed the little title about every five minutes. Once, he spelt bizarre wrong, too. Once in the chatbox, somebody was "mysteriously" kicking random people and nobody could figure out which mod was doing it. - Caesara

PI basically started when somebody who I believe is no longer a member suggested starting a paper of sorts for PPT. I offered to help with it, and started a thread in Misc Disc, asking if anybody would be willing to help. It got loads of responses, and millions of suggestions. (I won't go into all the little details of who did what and all that, because the list IS rather long) The first PI staff was created, and all we needed was somewhere to start. At first PI was going to be set up on angelfire, by Lilac, who had offered to do the job, provided she had everything. Then Hunter stepped in and offered to do it for us. (Thank you, Hunter!) So the CP was created, along with the front page, and all that stuff. The original thread in Misc Disc, by then, had been split numerous times and had about 50 pages in total. When the first issue came out, it didn't have much in it and had a few mistakes (on our part), but everybody was happy. (If I haven't mentioned it yet, PI was started mid-August of '03.) By December the staff had changed numerous times, and we were doing quite a bit better. We had our ups and downs (mostly me forgetting to release the issue or being lazy or something else wrong on my part *ahem*). Then we appealed to Jim for a usergroup. After a while of bugging him about it, it was created, and Pudding was set in charge as the mod. After a while Yoshi was added as the co-mod, and then PPT went down. - Caesara

:The April Fool's Day joke, where some posts were converted into 1337, and where the moderators were clones. There were also spammish ranks (Beyond Spammy) and the filters ("According to the prophecy...") - Dragonfire and Runevalkyrie

Back when the community first started, members had to vote mods in. Bob asked for people to UN-vote him. A week or so later, he was an admin. - Atamand

:Back in December, when my uncle had a heart attack, I had to sit in the hospital every day waiting for news on him, try and comfort my cousin, but as soon as I got back to my grandmother's house every night, I could get on PPT, and everyone there was friendly, and those that knew about my uncle cared enough to say something in my thread about him. Thanks to PPT, Christmas 2003 turned out to be better than the circumstances would have ever allowed. - Tested

'''The day when Steph and Jenn met each other. They were the first PPTers to meet in real life. - Jill

I remember when Staribbon posed as a girl and joined the Divas and talked in the Divas Chat before coming out that she was a he. We were all pretty fooled! S/he left shortly after that and was never heard from again. He posed as a girl due to "personality issues" or something of the sorts. This was in 2002. - Jill

I remember when Fiddly made paradoy raps from Eminem and 50 Cent's songs and became know as "Fiddy Cent". Truly a hilarious experience. - Jill

:Outkast Fight a long time ago (back when Ven ran the board). It was forty beautiful pages of spammy battling. - Sunnie
'''
:The Great Time Warp August 2003. Not only were our post counts destroyed (Sunnie's was cut in half), but all the threads were gone, too! That especially affected the RPers. Poor guys. - Sunnie

The creation of Pink Ink was such a lot of hype. - Lillie

Oh heck, I remember. There was this one time I was completely and utterly miserable for two weeks or so. I had a minor emotional weeping period, don't know if it was break down or not. I will definitely remember the support of all those who posted to cheer me up and just to tell me that they were there. It was important to me to know that people were just there for me and so I've tried since to be there for other people. I got a surprise webpage from CSK and Charisma who had collected what nice things people had to say about me and put them all in. I'll always be grateful to everyone who was there for me. I have a copy of everything saved onto my hard drive for those down days, because I never want to be so miserable onto other people again. Many people are down and PPT has always proved to be a supportive place for them. - Lillie

Being made a moderator was fun. I climbed out of bed one day and was attacked by congratulations on AIM. Ooo, now that was a sight, a bleary eyed, tossle haired kid with jaw dropped open when I found out. - Lillie

The PPT Gods Dictionary being a mini success at the start of it. That was great simply because it was the first original idea I had ever had on PPT and it was a good one. I've only got the first copy saved, not the new one. *sigh* - Lillie

PPT Survivor! I loved how it was all girls at the end and the conversations that took place about who was winning and who was losing. The discussion of who to vote for. I clearly recall Chrome saying she would flip a coin for if the last two girls both had a "C" as the beginning letter of their name. - Lillie

:Way back during Summer 2002 we were constantly changing servers. After my original registering in mid June, I had to reregister about 5 times. First time was because I forgot my password on my original account because I changed my email and it didn't let me log in once it sent me a new password. But the other 4 times were server changes. Final time was when we settled onto the almost permanent server, which just recently went down. - Lass

:Also, the time warp of last summer. If my memory serves me correctly, it happened in early to mid August. All posts were deleted that were made after July 13th. Post counts were also set back to what they had been on July 13th. It was mass chaos, since no one had any idea what was going on. Looking back on it, I laugh at how all the members were acting. Seeing all these topics spread across the forums stating "Whats going on?!?! My post count was lowered!!" makes me laugh now. - Lass

:And when Jim made me an admin for 30 seconds when the forums were running incredibly slow. - Lass

:There was also the Dark Angel/Chrome fad. If you supported the Dark Angels you would change your username to "Dark Angel [insert username here]" and if you supported the Chromes you would become "Chrome[insert name here]". - Lass

I remember kicking SL's butt in Yahoo Pool 6-0 does that count? - Pyro Parrot

:I remember halloween back a few years ago on the YaBB forums. It was really cool, and Hunter had some sort of music in his sig that freaked people out. The Dark Angel fad happened around there with another halloween fad. It was really fun. - Koku

:I remember Ven/Optimistic Consideration. He was really nice, and deserved to become a Global/Super mod. - Koku

:I remember when Chrome first released the RM2K game. I played it over and over..no matter how small it was. ^_^ - Koku

I remember Fidd's non-blinking blinkie. "I don't blink like all those CONFORMIST BLINKIES!" - Sapphire Faerie

:If someone asked me to name my favorite PPT memory, I'd laugh in their face. PPT has created so many memories for me that it's impossible to pick a favorite. But some of my special ones include becoming Capo in the PPT Mafia. Being Capo means that you've caught one thousand scammers and reported them. Becoming Capo was such a huge accomplishment for me. It made me feel special to be only the second Capo in all of PPT history. The Mafia has always been one of my favorite usergroups because it gave me a reason to work towards something in PPT. I really, really loved being able to leave PPT in the evenings and feel like I had, in a way, made Neopets a little bit of a better place because of the scammers I had caught. Another huge memory I have is starting PPTAAC in February of 2004. PPTAAC stands for 'PPTers Against Animal Cruelty'. It all started as just a 'Boycott Petco' thread, but soon developed to be one of the few clubs on PPT with a good purpose. At first, it surprised me at how many people were interested in our cause. We suddenly had a huge amount of people volunteering to make graphics and work at their local animal shelters. I remember that after mentioning volunteering at the local Humane Society, tons of PPTAAC members posted that they'd checked out their Humane Society and local shelters and a few of them volunteered. It made me kind of proud that I belonged to a forum with such good and caring people. Speaking of good and caring people, I remember numerous times where PPT members cared about me. There was one time recently when I had an ear infection, and just overnight, over 20 people replied and told me to get well soon, and many also suggested things to make the infection go away. I especially remember Twinkle messaging me personally to ask if I was okay. She told me that she had read my thread on the infection and cared enough to personally message and ask if I was okay- and that meant so, so much to me. Another huge memory I got from PPT was becoming a PPT God. For those of you who don't know, a PPT God is a user who achieves one thousand posts. After becoming a PPT God, I quickly joined ASP, one of PPT's random and crazy groups. I loved ASP because it gave me a chance to be as crazy and loud as I wanted to be, and my opinion was always heard when I wanted it to be. ASP's initials stand for 'Avs, Soda, Pudding'. Avs is to stand for Lady Night, who makes avatars and was a founder. Soda stands for the user Soda, another founder. And Pudding stands for Pudding, another founder. ASP was completely secret, which was just another aspect I loved about it. Another memory was the restart of the PPT Gnome Legion. I was, and still am, the Great Gnome Mistress. The Gnomes were supposed to welcome new members, hold giveaways, and just do nice stuff. And now comes one of my fondest memories- being accepted into the Pink Ink. The Pink Ink is PPT's official newspaper, and I was always in awe of the writers. One day, Cae- the newspaper founder- opened up applications. I applied first for Forum Writer, didn't make it, then applied for Entertainment- and got in! I felt so happy for weeks afterward. The Pink Ink board was the best... everyone was so welcoming and encouraging. Even though I only got a chance to write 2 articles before the forums went down, I still loved every minute of being a PI writer. All in all, PPT is a wonderful community that I'm glad to be a part of. Everyone is so nice and encouraging, and always there for you. The only thing I don't like about it is that I didn't join sooner. - Bangel

Theres a lot of memories in PPT, regaurdless of when you joined. They were made everyday and they seem to keep on popping up. From what I've read, we need to write about the memories which we hold dear to ourselves that have happened over the past years. One which stands out is Fe and that elbow licking. I thought it was totally gross when that came up but it turned out to be some awesome fun. Both PPTbies were really awesome to see. The whole "Chrome for Pres" thing still cracks me up. I suppose one of the memories which actually include me that I have is when I found out that someone who I knew online, and someone who I also knew offline were the same person. I had met a fellow PPTer and known him for nearly a year. That PPTers is Ammer and I think I can say that I've made an awesome friend off such an event. I remember being Ill last November and posting a "Cookie" thread cause I wanted to bake. That was the day I got the most awesome cookie recipe ever. Welsh Cookies. Another one would be my birthday. I wont be forgetting coming online and seeing a "Happy Birthday Xil" Thread. That was awesome. Jasujo's birthday was right around then too!! Heck, Anyones birthday should really count as a memory. It's a great feeling coming online and seeing all your friends posting "Happy Birthday" or something to that effect. - Xil

I owe PPT more NP then I'm worth. Everyday the first thing I would do was log onto neopets, and open PPT to do my treasure Map quest.(This was years ago). Then, when y'all started putting up the Cliffhanger anwsers, I started doing those too! It hit a point where I was on PPT far more than Neopets and I hadn't even signed up for the Forums at that time. :-P It was at the end of Grade 8 which I got caught on PPT at school, I was sent to my vice principal and had to explain what it was I was doing here. Consquently, PPT became the first School-decided banned website at my elementary school. Smile (That means the School Board didn't make the decision) - Xil

:It was a normal day as any other and I was on PPT reading the current topic which I had just posted. One post caught my attention which asked if I was in a specific english class second period. It happened to be correct and I was very freaked out. I began to search through my head on who in my English class played Neopets. I thought of one person and than decided to go with my gut. After PMing this PPTer and being tortured with this PPTer's mind game I realised it was my friend who I knew in real life named Xil. We weren't really close friends but now we have become closer and I actually can talk to someone about Neopets (In secret). It makes me proud to meet a PPTer and I hope to meet many of you in the near future. If you're anything like Xil, than we'll be great friends. - Ammer

Hmm, one thing that comes to mind was Mr. Adam Face (is hot!)'s journey to TNT Headquarters. It was right before the Time Warp, I think. I don't know exactly how long the thread got, but it was over 20 pages I think. The first time he was turned back (because he had [[Asparagus]], I think...?), but he went out again. I'm pretty sure that he came back around the Time Warp but no one knew what happened to him since he hadn't posted, so we were speculating... did TNT hold him hostage? He wrote up a big article, it was in the PPT news, but I don't know if it would still be there. Somewhere in the thread, someone (Magenta?) had a picture of Neopets with "Go Mr. Adam Face!" signs. - Sunshine Jenny

:I remember the PPT Secret Santa thing that Ecliptic and Yoshi organized last December in the Av/Sig Board. Oh, that was bundles of fun. You said what kind of things you wanted in your set, and someone made one for you, but you didn't know who it was. Near Christmas, everyone got their set and had to guess who their Secret Santa was. I remember being Knives' Secret Santa. I was awful at making graphics back then, and I remember him trying to be nice and saying that he liked the set I made him. And Denae/Joelz Butterfly made me this wonderful set that said "X's and O's: Who's side are you on?" It was the cutest thing. I still have that saved somewhere, in fact. - Apricus

Before I joined, I "lived" at IDNQ. Strangefire420 mentioned these forums, and one time when I was banned from IDNQ...I think it was the second time (I got banned 4 times I think. Such a naïve friends555 I was.)...I came here. I posted my first message. It was about me being banned from IDNQ and coming here to fill my time. I got a bunch of replies, but I only remember one: "Jump on the banned wagon!" I remember also I said in my post "oh no, hunter's modding". The admins at the time were SL, Jim, and Janie. Bob was "Back to Modding". Hunter was a moddy and Rune was just a member...y. Icey joined and we had a post-count race...he was winning until he stopped at 160...I went on to a post count of around 2k (if you count the posts I made on this new forum.) After a while, I stopped looking for my old IDNQ friends and made some new friends. I don't really remember who my first few friends were, but now I'm pretty comfortable around everyone here, so it doesn't really matter who I am or was closer with. I remember a bunch of old mods that I never really knew. I also remember Venny...and my short obsession with him after I joined Divas...and how I kept threatening to get Faye a tongue-ectomy because he liked her. I remember the Outkasts, and when Venny left, and when Lillie aka Ten Snow took over. I remember trying to get into as many groups as possible...including the not-a-usergroup CCC. I kept hoping Cheese would notice my little "tour guide" newbie-scaring post. It turns out he did remember (after the CCC was disbanded and re-made in Gods months later, I asked him) but he never asked me to join...I was too shy to request it for myself. I remember the time warp. I was typing up a post for the one RP I have ever been in (I knew absolutely nothing about the topic or how to RP...silly little Tymaporer), and suddenly I got this weird error message that I'd never seen before. I clicked the back button and saved my post (it's gone now) and after about a minute, the forums came back. I never noticed the date it said (July 14...it was actually August 5.) I simply went back to post my thing on the RP, and upon noticing that it wasn't there, I posted a topic in SDIS (or Q&A, I can't remember) titled "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hehehe...I was so young. I remember creating a second account under the name Venalina (that was when Venny was done being a girl) and Janie caught me after 10 posts...I did it because I was trying to remember what it was like to be a newbie. Seriously, that’s why. I remember around the holidays, everyone changed their names (I was .frostie555 O_o) and Jim was The Jimch. I wrote a song based off Jim’s new name called “You’re a Green One, Mr. Jimch”, and sent it to him. I think he liked it. I remember the second PPTbies. I really wanted to win something, and Bob had just left, so I made a fake screenshot of the admin-only board...it had three topics visible in that part of the “screenshot”. One was by SL, asking why the admin board needed a moderator. One was by Jim, saying that anyone who didn’t vote for me would have their account deleted. And the last one was by Bob, saying that he didn’t vote for me. (I almost got a strike for it.) Needless to say, I wasn’t even a top nominee in any category... I remember that April Fool’s Day stuff. Wibble. XD And there were the mod clones, and I started a line of “member clones”, and then there was...what else? It was so long ago. I remember my first anniversary, and how I posted an essay that I wrote for English class about PPT, and then how my birthday thread got almost no posts because my birthday was three days after my anniversary and everyone was wishing me happy early birthday on my anniversary thread. XP - Tymaporer

:I remember back in the days, the Outkasts group was a little more hyper then usual... Then All of a sudden Ven posted a board something to the affect of "I've died.." or maybe something else, my mind is a bit fuzzy... anyway he changed his name to Venomous the Zombie, and eventually it caght on and everyone in the outkasts had changed their name to be something dead... I was Rontu back then, I became Spirit Rontu. This lasted for a month or so until it died out... such good times... - Nunaamr'e

OMG! Does anybody remember when Cyanna made the image of the Chia shooting a slorg out of a cannon? Or when Chrome made an April fools post saying she was a boy? - Fiddelysquat

:I remember during the PPTBies one year, when Fiddelysquat and ChromeFox were both in the running for "Best Moderator," Fidds made an artificial report about all of the bad stuff Chrome had ever done, complete with a picture from UglyPeople.com of some woman who didn't have a chin. In response, someone completely uninvolved made a paint drawing of Fidds eating cat food. I completely forgot who won the race. -theonlysaneone

I remember looking at a thread when I first joined in the end of January 2003 and seeing a post by someone with a picture of a fridge full of beer with a message that said "Hey look, I found a picture of Wataguy's fridge!" And Wataguy's reply of "Hey, if you want a beer just ask, don't go snooping." or something like that, probably funnier then what I put but it was two and a half years ago! I remember Jim's mutant kacheek avatar too. I remember a thread about body mods and coming across a post by Fidds saying she had peircings from head to toes, my eyes were wide and mouth hanging open until I got to the part where she said "just kidding, you gullible little sap." Which of course now we know she really wasn't kidding. Cheeky Tongue She just veeeeery carefully edits them out of all her photos, how else do you explain the stark-raving gorgeousness? Foul play of course! Evil or Very Mad. I remember when Ven and Stephy where *the* PPT couple. All the guys had 'I stalk Stephy' in their sigs and all the girls swooned over Ven's hair. I remember when Fe signed up, she posted and posted and posted and posted. She had every other post in the 'person above you' game for a while. I remember thinking that Igg was a 20something, possibly in college. - Nessa

:I remember when we were all Mod clones at April Fools-that was funny. And Rage's "Story with McDonalds toys" and my rip-off that I still have...I think... ~Robin

My favorite memory of all time is and will always be all the support and PM's I got when my dad was in a critical state in the ICU in a hospital 6 hours away. Everyone was and is very supportive. While my dad is still in ICU he's doing better. ''Sept. 18, 2006''. - NeoPet_online/Adex

==Subeta==
According to an old version of the news page of subeta.org ([http://web.archive.org/web/20040806160503/http://subeta.org/news.php]), PinkPT was affiliated with Subeta back in 2004. As of now, there are still "PPT"-items around on Subeta ([http://www.subetadb.com/items.php?act=search&query=PPT]). Maybe someone who was on PPT back when this happened could add something regarding the affiliation to the article.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:53, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

==Front Page Revised==
Front page is going under revision. it's cluttered and sloppy, and i'm going to try and fix that in the next few days. Help where you can, especially with putting character/game pages in their proper [[:Special:Categories|categories]]. Hope to have this settled soon enough...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:24, 6 Mar 2006 (CST)

:Front page is continuing to be revised. This talk page has also been cleared of old discussions...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:35, 31 Mar 2006 (CST)

Could we do something with the front page to make it look more exciting? It's looking a little empty at the moment and it's a shame it doesn't reflect the quality of articles that is now offered at the NeoDex.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:I know what you mean. Will look into the next few days and see what can be done. really should take a look at it, as i already made a promise to revise it, at least to myself that is *whaps head*...hmmm...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:22, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I think I'm going to put in a news/FAQ design similar to http://www.tmbw.net/ except with a FAQ instead of that "Getting Started" section. Just an idea for you guys. Thoughts?--[[User:Hermioneelovesron|Hermioneelovesron]] 06:12, 26 Jun 2006 (CDT)

::Alright, I sorta took it upon myself to create that sandbox idea I had on a sub-userpage [[User:NeoEva88/frontpage|here]]. I think it looks good, of course I'd still love some suggestions though. I personally think it's kinda short, but I dunno what other content should be put on there. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 22:38, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:I like it, good work. It is a bit short, I would just put a bit of whitespace beneath it so it seems to not end so abruptly, at least in the meantime... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I Like it too. Much more appealing to the eye than what i've had on the front page. :D Shall the "blah blah blah" section be random links? Also, should it be a featured article in the box on the right? it would require to edit the main page every week, which really isn't a big deal though. just wondering what it is we want, as this does seem promising. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:We could use a Template:Featured, and copy the text into it each week... Or move it there, or something... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:05, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Yeah, a Template:Featured or some equivalent would work better. That's how the Uncyclopedia front page works. Also, the blah links were actually just space fillers because I thought there might be more Special pages or navigation pages we should link to up there, but I didn't know them. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 16:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

::I thought maybe to lengthen the front page design we could have a quote of the day section, I got the idea from Wookiepedia. Maybe there aren't too many good quotes for Neopets though, I dunno. I have a little filler box on the bottom of the page that can be used for something. Any other suggestions? '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:25, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:''Dance Party''!? I'm not quite sure how to respond to that :P! I hope it's only a temporary feature... :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah...''Dance Party''...I was bored. :S *ahem* And i've actually made it a permenant feature via [[:Template:Funfiller|template]]. I thought it would be a fun thing for the front page, as it serves two purposes: filler, and fun. will be changing every week along with the featured article...at least that's my intention. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:44, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I had an idea for a bit of filler... having a row of 100x100 px images, 'snapshots' of each world, with a link to their respective NeoDex page... One thing I think we should avoid would be a list of 'dailies' and links to them... Every fansite, guild homepage, etc etc seems to have them on their front page :P. --[[User:84.13.33.212|84.13.33.212]] 13:36, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:: Funny, I was actually thinking about that name recently - but I thinks the NeoDex has started to become a name synonymous with a Neopets Encyclopedia ;)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

::: I say it should stay NeoDex, because it's just a whole lot easier to type than Wockypedia. --[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

::I've said it before, I think, but I'm all in favour of 'In-depth Neopedia'. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::You know, I like name too - it reminds me to keep departments naming consistent - but that would mean I would have to re-name all the departments such as neopool to in-depth colours and avatar catalog to in-depth avatars arrgh @_@--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:29, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, I don't know. 'In-depth Trophy Catalogue' has a certain ring to it, I think (:P). Well, 'in-depth rainbow pool' and 'in-depth avatar guide', perhaps... Eh, maybe not :P. Those are both topics which it isn't really possible to get 'in-depth' about, is it? Were you to rename the NeoDex (in that fashion), you could always move the neopool and avatar sections down from full 'department' status to more of a sort of 'guide' level, as they are not so much as a ''collection'' of guides (as IDNQ, IDB, and, of course, the NeoDex ''are'') rather a guide in themselves (if my overworked memory serves me correctly, I believe that the avatar catalogue, at least, used to be just a page in the guides section - although I do not recall whether it was actually listed in the guide section: I remember there used to a link at the top of the PPT main page, or rather, above the news entries, not exactly the ''top'' of the page)... Although, having said that, the approach to the site designs of the neopool and avatar catalogue does have some element of a... hierarchy, if you will - their own sections - that would be difficult (although not necessarily impossible) to integrate within the main body of PPT (I suppose it would really depend on the limits of how your CMS structures the guides themselves, presuming you use a CMS rather than do all the modifications by hand - the PPT NeoDex article is blank on the issue). They could remain 'separate' from the core of PPT but just be listed in guides, I suppose. Mind you, if these sections are headed by two volunteers (other than yourself, Yukio) in much the way Jacob heads the NeoDex, they could become a bit... Miffed, at having their distinction curtailed, if you follow. Of course, another way to go about it would be to divided the departments into two sections, not necessarily a formal boundary per se, but possibly one. Or you could integrate the Neopool and Avatar Catalogue (and trophy catalogue, I suppose) into one bigger section... In-depth Collectibles, perhaps?

Item Registry. Y'know, a huge list of all Neopia's items sorted by type (neohome, food, faerie quests, toys, etcetera etcetera). I'd be willing to undertake the majority of it, with some help. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

:There is already an article titled [[Item]], where wiki links to each of type of item can be talked about, and there is also a [[:category:Items|category]] for items, but the NeoDex, will ''not'' be a place for listing all the items of Neopets. maybe in the future, but at this time i see no such thing. articles for items ''can'' be made, but only noteable items, as i'm sure an article titled "Bread" as in the food item bread is a waste of space. And if one really wants a list of all the items of Neopets, all they have to do is go to [[NeoItems.net]]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:54, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, okay then. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

::I'm happy for a change, if we can get in a better logo :)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:27, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:How about a Blumaroo sitting at a desk with a quill, constructed entirely of pieces of a jigsaw a la the wikipedia/uncyclopedia logos? Or virtupets space station constructed of such. It's almost spherical, so it could be identified easily with the wikipedia logo, and being spherical it would not be too difficult to create the logo to a high level of precision for it to be identifiable, and the Vitrupets space station is a recognisable icon of Neopia. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::Yeah, I was thinking about Virtupets a bit too, something round at least. I don´t like the idea of it being made out of jigsaw pieces though, it doesn´t need to be ''that'' much like Wikipedia.

All the same, what do you think of what I currently set up? I took out a lot of links in the summariezed TOC, seeing as it was originally random.

Ok, I have seen several sites that people have said that they can hack into, or get someone elses password is this true can they do this?

:yes, i've heard it's true, but don't let that stop you from playing the website in fear. during times of "cookie grabbing panic", be sure to refrain from untrustworthy cutomizable pages. Even better, you can use the Mozilla Firefox Browser for more protection as well.

more information on attacks and protection on the [http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/index.php PinkPT Forums] ([http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24440 this] comes to mind as well). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:31, 1 Mar 2006 (CST)

==Rename?==
Propose renaming to "Neopets (Website)", and a new page about the pets themselves ("Neopets (Characters)"?) and a disambiguation at [[Neopets]] for the website, the pets, and the [[Neopets (film)|film]]? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 08:32, 29 Dec 2006 (CST)
:May I suggest to add something like "''This page is about the website Neopets. For other meanings, see Neopets (disambiguation).''" to the article? I think most users would search for the website, not for the characters or even the film. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:47, 29 Dec 2006 (CST)
We are more likely, I think, to use "Neopets" in an article referring to the characters... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 09:14, 29 Dec 2006 (CST)
:I'm all for a disambiguation page. The article [[Neopet]] will speak of the different types/species of Neopets (which is what i think you mean by characters). Neopets is the plurl of Neopet, while saying Neopets refers to the website. This may not refer to the Neopets movie, though i'm sure t ''will'' have Neopets in its title as the video games did, so for now placing the Neopets film link on the disambiguation page will be fine. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:16, 30 Dec 2006 (CST)
::Finished the disambiguation page. will now be fixing all the redirects it has obviously broken. Work is fun. :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:30, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)
'''BUMP!!!''' I thought the naming issue was settled long ago, but we need to look at it again. The current title of this article has been set back to Neopets, not neopets the website (or whatever we were calling it). Neopets is supposed to be the plurl of [[Neopet]], the article which speaks of the Neopet in general. This confusion needs to be settled. Also converse in the [[Talk:Neopets_(disambiguation)|disambiguation article]] if you wish. Needs settling. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

::Semantically, I think this makes sense. If were make the sentence "Illusen is an Earth Faerie", we would want to link "Earth Faerie" ("<nowiki>Illusen is an [[Earth Faerie]]</nowiki>"), and we want the link to point to the same place in the sentence "All the Earth Faeries gathered" ("<nowiki>All the [[Earth Faerie]]s gathered</nowiki>") - even though it is plural, semantically, we mean the same thing when we link it.

::In the (part of a) sentence, "... Random Events, where random happenings around <nowiki>[[Neopets]]</nowiki>...", we don't mean "Neopets" in the same sense we mean it in "All the <nowiki>[[Neopet]]</nowiki>s gathered..." or "The Cybunny is a Limited Edition <nowiki>[[Neopet]]</nowiki>" - if you wanted to write about Neopets the website, you would ''never'' refer to it as "Neopet", because "Neopets" the website isn't "Neopet" pluralised, it's a proper name.

::So, we can use "<nowiki>[[Neopet]]s</nowiki>" to mean "more than one <nowiki>[[Neopet]]</nowiki>" - i.e. it's just the "Neopet" part of it that needs to be linked; or we can use "<nowiki>[[Neopets]]</nowiki>" to mean "the website called '<nowiki>[[Neopets]]</nowiki>'", where all of the word needs to be linked.

::That's what I think, anyway. Hope that makes sense ;P --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

:::Do you believe the confusion will be stemmed as long as we give all articles with Neopet in the name a disclaimer at the top (similar to the one this has right now)? It seems like a fine thing to do, just as long as all the current text flows as such. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Ogrin

2009-12-31T16:45:28Z

Jacob: /* Colours */ magma date

{{construction| reason=Circle pose looks too serious}}

[[Image:Ogrin_green_baby.gif|frame|An Ogrin]]

The '''Ogrin''' is a zebra-like [[Neopet]] and it was added to the database on the 27th December 2005, after its appearance was prefigured by its images on that day's [[Advent Calendar]] animation and the shopkeepers which had been added to the server before the holiday weekend.

Ogrin are considered shy creatures, due to their reserved nature and the fact that they originally lived alone. However, they are very talkative after they are used to their surroundings and they can maintain intelligent conversation for hours on end.

They are very interesting and have varying personalities. However, one interest which all Ogrin share is their love for nature, and the exploring and studying thereof. They are also very inquisitive and curious, striving to learn more and trying to become as knowledgeable as possible.

==Colours==
As of December 2008, the Ogrin can come in 26 different [[The Rainbow Pool|colours]]:

{|align=center

==Trivia==
*As of August 2009, over 1.5 million Ogrin have been created, placing them 41st in popularity out of 54 Neopets. They are also featured in 20 different [[item]]s.
*''Ogrin Day'' is on December 28.
*In the Advent Calendar video on 28/12/05, the two Ogrin in it were missing their stripes.

Template talk:BattleInfo

2009-12-31T16:43:55Z

Jacob: /* Option #8 */

Wondering if this will be needed, as the table and the image of the character on the article have since been seperate since the beginning (as shown in [[Pant Devil]], [[Kanrik]] and other opponents of the Battledome in each of the characters "Battledome" section).--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:49, 7 Jul 2006 (CDT)
:hmm, whoops. I guess the table will work just as well then. Give me time for fix all the data properly before you delete this. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 08:56, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

The tables are seperated, but the table is kinda unwieldly, I suggest we use this template without the image section, to give the table a cleaner look. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:45, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I've changed my mind again. I've tried to implement in the tables, and I think it's a lot more complicated, and will become a problem again after every major edit to an article. I think we should definitely just start moving images into the BattleInfo table as I have suggested and forget about the old table. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:54, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I was liking this tmeplate as well, and i think it would do great in replacing the old tables i've been using (smaller code to type and such ;) ). And on image use: for all characters that can be challeged/have been part of the battledome, they will have two images. One as the intro picture at the top, and the image in the template table in the "Battledome" section, which will contain battledome information and quotes. Sound good? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:10, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Ok, I saw the proposed new layout on the Cave Chia and I've got one question and some suggestions. First, what should we do with opponents that have large pictures, but small articles? (ex. Giant Ghostkerchief) For the Giant Ghostkerchief I think the solution is simple, use only one image. The Giant Ghostkerchief is really notable only as a Battledome Opponent, and so a single picture in the Battledome template will do. However, for other opponents such as the Pant Devil or The Esophagor other images will be used also. (Gallery of Evil images, etc.) NeoEva88 16:44, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Option #8==
{{BattleInfo|The Snowager|http://images.neopets.com/pets/closeattack/36_left.gif|650|700|65|Wand of the Air Faerie|Be attacked by The Snowager [http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml here] (Your pet will lose HP)|snow}}
[http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Template:BattleInfo&oldid=51780 This revision] brings in an eighth parameter for setting the colour of the border - the idea is that the border colour corresponds to the arena the challenger is from. If unspecified (for backwards compatibility, mainly) it'll default to the battledome red. Basically, at the end of the template, include "island", "battle", "tyrannian", "water", "snow", "space", or "stone" (without quotes). For example,

<nowiki>{{BattleInfo|The Snowager|http://images.neopets.com/pets/closeattack/36_left.gif|650|700|65|Wand of the Air Faerie|Be attacked by The Snowager [http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml here] (Your pet will lose HP)|snow}}</nowiki>

Slorg

2009-12-31T16:29:52Z

Jacob: Reverted edits by 208.110.34.150 (Talk); changed back to last version by Emeraldosprey

[[Image:Slorg.gif|right|frame|A Slorg]]

The '''Slorg''' is a [[Wikipedia:Slug|slug]]-like [[Petpet#Spooky Petpet|Spooky]] [[Petpet]] released on August 30, 2001. They almost always have a huge, inane grin and large, round eyes. Slorgs are featured in the game [[Attack of the Slorgs]] and appear in some other games like [[Feed Florg]] and [[Petpet Cannonball]].

The Slorg is often used to comic effect by [[The Neopets Team]]: for example, they released a personality quiz - [http://www.neopets.com/games/whichpetpet.phtml Which Petpet are You?] - that always resulted, no matter what options were chosen, in the conclusion that the user was a Slorg. This was later claimed to be a "technical problem" and "fixed" on September 19, 2002, since which time the user is always categorised as a Pink Slorg.

It was suggested [[Neopets (website)|the website]]'s [http://www.neopets.com/add_poll.phtml now closed polls] that the Slorg may become a [[Neopet]], in the same way as the [[Krawk (Petpet)|Krawk]] in that a young Slorg would still be a Petpet and its adult version would become a Neopet. While votes for the idea were high, the idea has not been developed any further, and may just have been a comic conjecture.

The Slorg forms a [[Slorgclops]] when combined in the [[Cooking Pot]] with a [[Meowclops]].

==Colours==
As of October 2008, Slorgs come in 39 different [[colours]], of which 5 can only be obtained from the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] and 34 can be painted using a [[Petpet Paint Brush]]:

*There are two [[Avatar|Avatars]] featuring Slorgs.
*There are over 50 items featuring Slorgs.
*When combined with a Meowclops at the [[Cooking Pot]] a Slorgclops is created.
*The Faerie Slorg was featured in ''Week 4'', the Plushie Slorg was featured in ''Week 63'', and the Slorg was featured in ''Week 114'' of the [[Petpet Protection League]].

[[Image:Chomby blue baby.gif|right]]

The '''Chomby''' is a shy, plant-eating [[wikipedia:stegosaurus|stegosaurus]]-like [[Limited Edition]] Neopet who is most happy when munching on leaves and grasses. Chombies are one of many different species that exist in Neopia. Chombies naturally come from the prehistoric land of [[Tyrannia]], although many have ventured as far as the [[Lost Desert]] and [[Faerieland]].

Chombies were released along with the discovery of Tyrannia. The first glimpse of the species came from an animation of a Chomby slowly eating away shrubbery at a cave entrace through the [[Ice Caves]].

While Chombies aren't as popular in games or plots on Neopets, the band [[Chomby and the Fungus Balls]] ([[CATFB]] for short) has given a lot of help to their popularity. Another thing that ahs risen their popularity is their appearance in Tyrannian Mini Golf, a well-known game.

==Overview==
Chombies were first released on March 22, 2001.

==Colours==
As of March 2009, Chombies come in 42 different [[The Rainbow Pool|colours]]:

Magma

Jacob: updating the article with what I know, because no one else seems to know what's what...yeah :P

'''Magma''' is a molten earth [[colour]] available to all [[Neopet]]s, released on December 15, 2009. The method of obtaining it is as of yet unknown, though it's believed to have some relation to visiting the [[Magma Pool]] in [[Moltara]].

==Trivia==
*It was discovered by [http://www.neocolours.de Neocolours] that there would be a Magma colour on August 17, 2009.

'''Mystery Pic''' is a guessing game which began on ''(need date)'', in which users are shown a small portion of a larger picture which appears somewhere on [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] and guess where it came from. A new Mystery Picture game launches every Wednesday and Friday.

==How to play==
[[image:mysterypic.PNG|frame|An example of a Mystery Pic and its source, from Competition #511]]

Every Wednesday and Friday, a new image from the 1000's on Neopets is selected, and users are tasked to search the website for the answer with the small portion of that image. To guess, users type in what they think the picture is. As an example, if they think its the tail of a Red [[Scorchio]], then the answer would be ''red scorchio tail''. The answer doesn't have to be exact, because the program which collects the answers tries its best to match the words with the correct answer.

Answers are judged shortly before a new contest starts and everyone who submitted the correct answer shares a piece of the 2 million [[Neopoint]]s prize pool, and the first 250 people to correctly guess also receive a rare [[item]].

==Solutions==
Due to space considerations, the [[Mystery Pic Solutions]] have been relocated to a separate page.

'''The Last Blast''' is an action adventure game which take place on [[Kreludor]], released on November 22, 2007. Players control [[Sergeant Zarex]], a veteran of the civil war in [[Kreludor]], who was part of a secret unit called Section Six. He was called back to duty when hostile robots began to overrun the mines. Because the area of the mine with the greatest activity is too deep underground for teleportation, Zarex starts at very top of the mines, and has to fight his way past swarms of machines in order to discover and destroy the cause of the invasion.

Sergeant Zarex

Jacob: quick creation to supplement new BTY info

[[Image:Ctp 926.gif|right]]

'''Sergeant Zarex''' is a [[Grundo]] soldier, whom users can control in the game [[The Last Blast]]. He's a veteran of the civil war in [[Kreludor]], part of a secret unit called Section Six, and was called back to duty when hostile robots began to overrun the mines.

==Trivia==
*As of December 2009, Sergeant Zarex is featured in 3 different [[item]]s, one of which is his diary (a [[book]]), which details his experiences during the civil war and his thoughts on the infestation in the mines.
*On December 24, 2009, Sergeant Zarex was featured in [[Better Than You]], scoring 10,050 in [[Snow Wars II]], with the prize being a '''Snowy Xweetok Hat'''. He was quoted as saying...<blockquote>''Oh boy. Mission control called me down for a defense operation, but they didn't mention details. The technology these poor Grundos are working with... Normally I wouldn't try defending anything bigger than a Roast Gargapple with this kind of equipment! But you work with what you've got!''</blockquote>

User talk:Jacob

2009-11-26T15:35:05Z

Jacob: /* Sysop again */ I suppose so

==Pet type categories==
Okay, sorry, I got the idea that we were supposed to make the categories singular and not plural, my mistake. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:33, 18 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

==Proposed Change to Image Table==
So, we've been using this script for a while to link images from Neopets.

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif
|}

<nowiki>{|align=right</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|imagelinkhere</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
 
This has worked very well, and I have become a big supporter of linking from Neopets now that I've gotten used to it.

Now I'd like to present an idea of mine. I "dressed up" the table a little bit, so we can add a border to the image and maybe a little thumbnail description.

{|align=right style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px"
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif
|-
|Fancy, eh?
|}

<nowiki>{|align=right style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px"</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|imagelinkhere</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|-</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Optional text.</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
 
I think it looks nice so I just thought I'd show you the script and stuff and see what you think. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:51, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I like it. :) However, the image linking done for images is meant to be a temporary thing, as i was intending to upload the image linked images as wiki images. I just haven't haven't gotten around to it. :S I just use the image linking as a ways to find the best image possible to work for the article for a future image load. And this new table is very good for that. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:02, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Greetings from Yukio==
Hi there! I'm typing in what I think is a messaging feature :) Let's hope it works!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:32, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)

:it's working alright. ;) So...i'm the admin? is that right?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:35, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)

::Great! Got it down pat :) This WIKI thing is kinda addictive @_@ Of course :) Admin away Jacob, admin away ^_^ Would love to chat online when we get the chance. I'll reply to your email soonish.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:56, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)

:::ooking forward to hearing from you. thank a lot.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:58, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)

Just wanted to drop in a line and say you're doing an amazing thing with the NeoDex :) Under your leadership, the NeoDex has totally grown expotentially and is becoming what everyone envisioned it to be :) Well done!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:50, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:Thank you very much. There is still so much to do of course, but all in due time...hopefully. :o Still don't know how to eidt and present the gaming articles. Mostly just focused on the plot/character/Neopet pages. Best get to thinking then.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:28, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

==Image Linking: Neopets vs. Internal==
So i was wondering...should we be focusing on making our own images to make the wiki colorful, or should we direct link to Neopets? I see all other fan sites doing it, and i'm wondering what is the opinion of everyone else on the matter. I'm fine working it either way, but would like to know how we would like to do it so we can work on it soon enough.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:34, 4 Mar 2006 (CST)

:i decided on this for the time being: images that can be linked directly from neopets if the are set inside constructed tables. internal images will be used whenever they are not, as i haven't yet found a way to move images directly linked to.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:27, 8 Mar 2006 (CST)

=="Karnik" Request==
Jacob, could you please delete the article [[Karnik]] from the Characters page? I can't do so for some reason and it's irritating me. Thanks. Also, is it allright if I add a page for Zafara Double Agent?

:thanks for noticing that. the proper redirect has fixed it. now to add that misspelling to the list... ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:47, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)

==Reversion==
I thought I should mention that [[Neopets, The Website]] has been vanadlised, so is probably in need of a reversion. It's when I noticed this that I realised that I am not aware if a formal structure for reporting vandalised articles exist: could you clarify what we are meant to do? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)

:ah! vandals! *attacks* well, reversing the effects of the vandalism is key, and stating that vandalism happened as well in the "summary". other than that, i don't know of any "formal structure" than that, along with me banning people along the way. --unsigned by [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] (opps!)

::What I mean is, what is an average member like myself meant to do about it? Do we leave you the vandal's name, rank and number and you ensure that they are 'no longer a problem', can we revert the page ourselves, or are we meant to wait for you, etc? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:33, 18 May 2006 (CDT)

Members/IP Addresses who i haven't blocked/spoken with yet should be reported to me, and yes, and average members can reverse adverse effects on articles (highly encouraged). clicking previous revisions of an article in its "history" and then saving that edit replaces the current revision.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)

==Anti-Neopian Article==
Propose locking of the Anti-Neopian article? As the is the encyclopaedia of Neopets, it would seem logically to include it in an objective way, but the nature of the article is that it likely to encourage vandalism - we do not want to turn the Neodex into one big discussion of issues that are not likely to be resolved. If there are any arguements that either side think should be added, they can always be put into the Talk page first, to maintain the objectiveness of the entry... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:20, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

:<nowiki>*</nowiki>bows* good idea. will do so right now. Other than that, how do you feel about the current state of the article?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

It makes me wonder how one can draw a connection between a childrens site about animated pets and devil-worship... ;). I think the arguments and counter arguments (and rebuttals) are presented fairly sucinctly. Although personally, I do wonder about a lot of Anti-neopian points, like how they came up with them... They seem somewhat random. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:42, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

:If you look back through the history of the article, you can see the written connection between devil worship and Neopets dealt with Scientology as well. I'm guessing they are just trying to anger or excite people to reply violently, as a form of entertainment. we shall see.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:00, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

==Unspoken Rules==
I intend to expand on the Unspoken Rules section on give it a more encyclopaedic voice, but as it is one of the articles linked directly to from Help Contents page, I wanted to confirm with you whether I can do this first? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:31, 30 May 2006 (CDT)

:The help page in general needs a reworking. was going to try and see what i can do about it, looking over other help pages (wikipedia's in general) and the like and see what we need. what help you can offer would be good.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:44, 30 May 2006 (CDT)

==Article for Deletion==
The article [[Root Canal Champion]] originally just said "hi" I changed the text to what it currently is. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:33, 22 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:Root Canal Champion will not and should not be deleted. it should be filled with the proper data, as it is a term used on Neopets in reference to a trophy TNT members have on their user lookups. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:54, 23 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Proposal: Game Hints==
Post 68.142.54.193's modifictaion of the [[Extreme Herder]] page and [[Talk: Extreme Herder|talk page]], it has occured to me that there are a lot of game techniques which we could record, under a 'Tatics' heading, on the game pages, perhaps? Do we have your 'go' on this? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:45, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:You have my "go" for that. Collected tactics and practices of games were going to be part of the NeoDex from the start i believe (along wit the history and such of course ;) ). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:55, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)

==Question: TCG links==
A lot of TCG links at the bottom of pages have just been left as [name], with no actual link (e.g. [Gormball]): are these meant to link to the image of the trading card, or to the little pop-up page one gets when one clicks on them on the TCG Checklist, or... ? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:32, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:The TCG links (and NeoDeck links for that matter) are meant "to be filled", as i didn't feel like doing the work at the time to fill them out. yes, i was lazy. :D The proper links can be found in the examples of [[JubJub]]. For NeoDeck, it's the pop up description while viewing a users neodeck (or the spoiler page). For TCG cards, it's the when a user clicks the card on the checklist. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:39, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)

==Neopets Ad Comic...Things==
You've probably noticed the 5 ([http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic1.swf 1], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic2.swf 2], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic3.swf 3], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic4.swf 4], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic5.swf 5]) new comic-style adverts that have been appearing on the site (they were mentioned in a [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=255 recent editorial] too) - I was wondering if you had any idea what we could call them for an article. I'm stumped: 'comics' is too much like the section in the neopian times, they aren't really 'ads'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:39, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)

:Put it in the [[Neopets]] article, under a "banner ads" section...or something like that. seeing as banner ads are a big thing on the website, don't see why can't there be a fill section on everything about them, dealing with their contect and their history. and yes, these ARE ads, as they are on the banner ads section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:54, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)

==Staff Page Editing==
Ahh that looks much better. Thanks Jacob! (Yukio) --[[User:58.165.59.30|58.165.59.30]] 18:31, 10 Oct 2006 (CDT)

==Non-Neopets created pages==
Hi Jacob, this article has unnecessary links in it that are non-neopets related such as linking to staff members at the fansite. Reccomended for removing the links. Furthermore, someone created actual pages for the staff members which I also vote for deletion. http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/TheDailyNeopets

==Admin + Disambiguation==
Hey there, who do you contact to get admin powers? Also, how do you create disambiguation pages on this neopedia? Id like to make one for the wheels im editing at the moment. Thanks. --[[User:Lewisg|Lewisg]] 08:29, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)

:As i am the head admin of the neodex, i'm the one to contact about being an administrator. And creating a disambiguation page is just like creating a normal page, which links to all the other articles which have "disambiguaty", and link to the [[:Category: Disambiguation |Disambiguation category]]. Look in their for examples of them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:54, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)

==Current Events==
Its the 17th and we still have the October calender >_> [[User:82.27.224.85|82.27.224.85]] 13:23, 17 Nov 2006 (CST)

:wow. thank you for pointing that out. :D no, we are in November now, as the dates in the "calender box" show. i just forgot to change the month title. Again, thank you. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:10, 17 Nov 2006 (CST)

== Taking the Next Step ==
Hola Jacob :) Now that NeoDex has a decent amount of articles, and in light of your recent news post, I think NeoDex is ready to take the next step, but this is of course whether you're comfortable with it :) I think it's a great time now to start "invading" the Neopets community by opening up affiliation opportunities with NeoDex itself. I've started doing that with http://www.pinkpt.com/neopool What do you think? --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 19:56, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)

:I'm a little confused by the affiliations you speak of, as you make it sound like the NeoDex and Neopool are seperate from PinkPT, when in fact they are sections and departments of the same area. Wouldn't it be simpler to have all affiliations be with PinkPT itself? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:06, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)

::Yep that already occurs, but allowing section affiliation (essentially sections that are large enough to be identified as their own stand-alone site) allows added exposure for not only PPT has a whole, but also that section itself. Your call. --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 22:54, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)

==Banning?==
Understand that I do not wish to undermine you for a moment, but taking into account what you posted as news on PinkPT recently about whether some editors of the Neodex had been banned through ignorance rather than malicious intent, don't you think giving someone 20,000 hours for adding a emoticon to an article to be something of an overkill? Especially when someone who added a advertising image got only 24...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Touche. You are right on that. I'm pretty random with the bannings, aren't i? What would you reccomend? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:36, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)

Well, we really should sort out some sort of vandalism scale, with suggested hours for each level of vandalism noted, rising for repeat offenders within a range of hours per crime. Probably as part of [[Neodex:Banning]]...Let me see what I can come up with... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:28, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)

:It's easy to spot vandalizers. people who just post smileys or say "hi" are part of it, though they may be unintentional, and "seeing for themselves" if they can REALLY type in whatever they want and show it to the world. so i guess people who do things like that should at least receive some warning instead of complete banning (unless, of course, they do it to several pages, and should really know better). next higher offender would be those who upload content for the purpose of advertizing their account. the worst offenders are those who place malicious or abhorent material on articles (spam links, or random wiki code with no data in them). So i suppose a system could be written around those levels, yes?

:out of curiousity, would you think it proper to look through all the currently blocked IPs in reguards to this, and unblock a few? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:37, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)

::I took the initiative and looked through all the blocked IPs, taking mercy on a few of them (and cross referencing with the Wikipedia list of IPs as well, just to be sure). I think the remainder of the IPs on our list are questionable in what they have given enough to keep them there...i think. *ponders* again, you can have a look to see. As always, an ongoing process. let's hope for the best. *salute* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 28 Dec 2006 (CST)

I noticed you seem to increase the expiry time for vandals posting vulgar links from time to time. I just don't understand the sense of it. As the IPs nor the posted links are never the same, this won't prevent further spamming. I'm not against your time regulations, I just don't see the sense. Mind to explain?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:21, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)

:I'm random. That's basically the whole summary of it all. :D Plus i do think the IPs are all connected, as the neoboard talk page has been a large target as of late, with the offender(s) possibly having several different IPs in place. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:29, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)

==HTML-wiki-converter==
I just didn't know who to speak with so I speak with you. Your user page says that you know a bit HTML. Do you know the [http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html HTML-wiki-converter?] I thought it might be helpful. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:12, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Thank you for the link. this is a very helpful teaching tool. It can allow those who understand html to understand wiki markup better (and vice versa), and allow faster conversion of data. while looking into this, i found [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools|other helpful tools]] as well. Lots of things to look into. Again, thank you. *bows* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:55, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)

==Your edit to Galem==
I do not get the edit to Galem. You said it was "vulgar" what was that? Also, it looked like Galem lost his heart to me, look closely at the silliouette. --Unsigned by 66.63.86.156 00:55, 12 Dec 2006

:It's nothing more than the artists whim, similar to the switching of the jaw colour with Darigan. Also, Neopets would never visibly show something like that to users, especially when the image is right there in fron of us. Seriously, why would the TNT show that to a mostly younger crowd? They wouldn't. exactly. you can look into it all you want, but that didn't and couldn't happen. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)

::His death seems that was to me. [[User:66.63.86.156|66.63.86.156]] 13:45, 12 Dec 2006 (CST)

==Red "!"==
Hey there Jacob. What does the Red "!" on the Recent updates page mean? Ive never seen them on another wiki before lol. --[[User:Lew|Lew]] 18:01, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)

:It shows whenever any edit to a page occurs. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:20, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)

::It depends on the preferences of the wiki. In some wikis, only sysops are able to see them. You can klick the "diff" link of the edit and mark it as patrolled meaning that the difference was checked by somebody. This will remove the red "!". The question is, is it useful to make the feature available to all users? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:04, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Oh. I can't say I've noticed. I usually go through all the edits on the Recent Changes page to check they are all valid, patrolled or not... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)

I've begun to take addvantage of this feature and patrol the articles as per my duties as admin (or should at least be my duties). This will signify that a user has looked over the data and has seen it and another user doesn't need to look it over (they still can of course). Having this be a sysop exclusive would be much better too. *ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

==Site protection==
I noticed that in the discussion about Galgarroth you said that you will suspend everybody who claims Galgarroth is dead for a while. Don't you have the possibility to "protect" an article/make it editable only by registred members or sysops? I think the link should look like [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Galgarroth&action=protect this].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 03:30, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)

:I just found [[NeoDex:Protected page]]. I really shouldn't tell a sysop what he can do on a wiki. A big sorry for that. :( --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:33, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)

Not wishing to hijack this question from Jacob, but should edits to the Galgarroth article that contravene the discussion continue, the page may be protected in addition to a temporary suspension, yes.

And we are all editors, suggestions are always welcome. :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:59, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)

:It's really alright Himmelsdemon. :D Macbeth is right though, that we may need to protect the article should edits continue as they were, even though i would like to leave the article open for all users to edit, as it really isn't a very large or controversial character like Lord Darigan/Dr. Frank Sloth/Fyora (and i do worry about those articles should disputes arise :o ). But it will be done should it occur. will hope it will never have to come to that. *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:13, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)

::Well, now I have to officially ask you to make [[NeoBoard]] editable for registered users only. It drives me mad. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:11, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)

==User Page Protection==
Would you like to put the '''<nowiki>{{protected}}</nowiki>''' template on your user page? I won't do it myself as, well, it's up to you if you want it, as it is not a mainspace article. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:32, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)

:I think the template would make the page look a little off, so i'm fine with just having it be protected and not have it be notified as such with template.

==Coding update==
I saw at [[Talk:Jelly World]] that there will be an update for the wiki. May I ask what exactly is planned?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 07:11, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

:I talked to Yukio about it, and said he would contact the proper people about it. Will hopefully hear something more soon. perhaps we could include your idea? *points to topic below*

==Protecting Talk Pages==
We can't start protected talk pages, vandalism or not. They are designed specifically to remain unprotected so that the contents of the article, whether protected or otherwise, can be discussed... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:16, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

:Well, maybe the whole load of Neodex/index.phtml or whatever should be deleted and we would look what happens. (Just adding it as you reminded me of this, Macbeth). Maybe the wiki could be coded so that we can protect the page from editing by IPs, but not from editing by registered users? *pokes comment above* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:03, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

You are right Macbeth, in that we can't protect talk pages. A goof by me on my part, and i'll make sure all talk pages hence forth remain free of protection. Though i do have to admit the spamming infuriates me...and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But again, no more protecting them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

Himmelsdemon? That's a wonderful idea. Having only registered users being able to edit articles would totally eliminate the problem with spamming IPs, allowing us to overview and control what goes into the NeoDex easier. It would then force everyone to log in of course, and i think spammers would then just create accounts to spam with, but it least it would be easier to maintain the integrity of the NeoDex. Perhaps this could be included in the updating to take place? *points to topic above* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)

Well, I think I expressed a bit wrong what I meant. The idea was to be able to protect pages so that only registered users are able to edit them, not making the wiki "IP-free". We had this before on our German wiki, but I think this made the wiki less attractive to writers. People seem to be somewhat...afraid of logging in into new pages.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 11:40, 1 Mar 2007 (CST)
:And yet willing to edit and display an IP address... Heh. Wikipedia does have a semi-protection system to block unregistered users editing certain pages. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:23, 2 Mar 2007 (CST)

==Spam protection==
In reference to the above: I also recently found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features this]. Any way it could be used in the wiki filtering codes like <a href=... and [url]?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)

:Those are some nice features which could be used, and i really like the idea of the "SpamBlacklist extension" and "ConfirmEdit extension". SpamBlacklist extension could currently be used, but we will still need to update the wiki to use ConfirmEdit extension. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)

The spam problem is really getting out of hand now... It's crazy! I just hope it's due to weekends, and not due to automated script. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 03:07, 28 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::You are right...it is crazy. The ammount of spamming which is going on seems to be growing as well. I sure hope my words of updating are being taken seriously, as we can't really do our job of proper editing when we keep having to correct the "errors" of others. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:33, 28 Apr 2007 (CDT)

By the way, when you happen to have free time, could you go through [[Special:Listusers]] and delete some users completely from the database? Some of the names are just inappropriate.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:06, 28 Apr 2007 (CDT)

===Relevant PHP-code===
There should be a file called LocalSettings.php somewhere on the webspace. That is the file which defines all the relevant things regarding the wiki. These lines need to be inserted into the code:
<pre># Disable anonymous editing
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;</pre>
because this is the Mediawiki-version 1.4.7 (I checked at [[Special:Version]]). Anyway, it seems so be even easier than I thought (unless the PHP is stored somewhere else).
Informations are taken from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_editing_of_all_pages Mediawiki manual].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:09, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

:I think I can see where to shove that in ;). Question is, do we really want to disable anonymous editing? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:51, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

::Unless there is a way we could upgrade to Mediawiki version 1.5 (or above) without losing all the content, this is the only way for now to get rid of the spam. I also hope that, when the spammers realize they cant edit any pages, they will refrain from trying to do so in the future. We could remove the protection after a certain time.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 14:16, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

:Something needs to be done. Urgently. There are bots that post links to sites that contain, let me say this straight away, adult content (I just blocked one such bot for 10 years). I know this sounds pathetic, but please think of the children. I think all the bots damage Neodex a lot far more than the unability for anonymous users to edit would do. If you really know what to do, Macbeth, this definitely needs to be done. Apologies to Jacob for using this site for such discussions.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:46, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

::You need not worry Demon. I understand the urgency of the situation, and i'm quite tired of all the bots myself. On a side note, do you think it would be best to delete all previous edits of the talk page once this coding has been implemented (i.e. delete and recreate the article), so no one has see see the "edit summary" of the bots? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:38, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:::I think it is a good idea.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:55, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

::::Bad idea: we would lose the 'valid' page history. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:58, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:::::Uhm, I thought, Jacob was referring to deleting the article and restoring only the harmless versions.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:23, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

The method i would use: I would save the "clean" version of the talk pages (which have not been used for anything except vandalism and letting people know about it to begin with), and delete the talk page. would then recreate it with the clean talk page. all the revisions would still be saved for us admins to look over (deleted as they are), and the new history would be clean slate. I think it's better than having over 250 revisions of xanax and other spammed edit summaries confusing people...yes, there have been over 250 vandalisms on the armada page. :(

:I just uploaded this coding into the local settings file...seems to work. :S Will know soon enough how this all turns out. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:33, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

::I think it is safe to say anon. editing blocking has worked wondrously. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:31, 15 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:::It worked for awhile at least. Now accounts are just being created to spam. Great. :( In either case, another measure can be made for this, such as [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgEmailAuthentication email authentication]...though the coding of the wiki would need to be updraged first. And should that be done, we can then use others things such as [[wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] and blacklists to stop the vandalism if even authentication isn't enough. Mind you, vandalism can never be fully stopped, as there is nothing stopping any random editor from creating an account normally and causing destruction...but we can at least stop bots and make a system difficult for them to manipulate. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:27, 19 Jun 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah. CAPTCHA ''can'' be implemented with MediaWiki, I am quite positive. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:16, 19 Jun 2007 (UTC)

==Games Category==
Jacob, I added the category:games stuff to Snowmuncher and Jelly Blobs, because without them they don't show up on the main Games page (the one linked from the Main Page), which seems pretty undesirable to me. Is there a reason *not* to have them? Other games have both the category and subcategory. [[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 10:06, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:In my opinion, if we are still following the [[NeoDex:Categorization|categorization rules]], we should remove the games category from all existing games on Neodex (except those which is impossible to have a sub-category). Unless we are going to use the games category page as a games index page, it's rather pointless to categorize a game as an "action game" and "game" at the same time... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 11:03, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::Since the [[Main Page]] links to the [[:Category: Games]] page, I'd say there either should be a redesign where it links to a different games page, or items should get the above category. Personally, I like having a master list. Plenty of Neopets games have elements of more than one category, so if I'm searching for a game whose name or spelling I've forgotten, I'd rather not have to guess whether it's a puzzle game or an action game. On the other hand, I can see a strong counter-argument: sponsor games of a limited lifetime would clog up such a list in a hurry. --[[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 11:46, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

Yes, we ''are'' following the [[NeoDex:Categorization|categorization rules]] set. Individual games will not be labelled with the "Games" category, but all the sub-categories (action, puzzle, etc.) of game types it belongs to ([[Scourge of the Lab Jellies]] is a "board game" and "puzzle"). Only if there is no sub-category for it to go in should a game be placed in the games category. Game articles which already have the games category attached to them are that way because they haven't been taken off yet.

if you are looking for a certain game you've forgotten the title of and don't want to guess which sub-category of gaming it belongs to (which ''will'' show up on the games category), you can use the search box on the left hand side to help you (for more information, see [[NeoDex:Searching]]). misspelled titles (those found) will usually redirect to the proper article, and [[:Category:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] articles will help as well. and yes, it's realized sponsor game articles would clog up the subcategory lists, and that is wy they have [[:Category:Sponsored Games|their own category]]. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:35, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:Perhaps the [[Main Page]] should link to [[Games]] then, and not [[:Category: Games]]? --[[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 17:04, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::Updating of the front page will come soon, though i'm hesitant to having it link to the games room. the games room focuses only on games found there, and there are many other games. At least this is what comes to my mind when i think of it, and this may not be the case when i looked at indepth. All the same, thank you for bringing this to attention, and hope to update the frontpage accordingly very soon. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:12, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)

==Neodex Policies (and other stories...)==
Contemplating the recent revamp into the help section, it occurs to me that perhaps the Neodex could benefit from a [[Neodex:Criteria for inclusion|Criteria for inclusion]], a la [[Wikipedia:WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is not]]... A lot of it will be similar to the Wikipedia article on the topic, but there would be some key differences - e.g., no biographies of actual users excepting staff members... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:46, 27 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:(Of course, we also have the [[Neodex:Policy|Policy]] page, which sort of equates to the Wikipedia's five pillars. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:52, 27 Apr 2007 (CDT))

::thank you for the word. this does sound like a good idea, and where to have the information...i don't really know. :( Will need to discuss, think, and rashly edit to see what works i guess. On what articles aren't allowed, i recently deleted articles about a series of toons in the Neopian Times, due to the creator not showing any big relevence to neopets (plus it doesn't seem proper to have such an article). While that's an easier thing to decide on, articles speaking of certain users may be another. Some users are very notable (such as featheralley), and users may want to have an article on the user. But i don't think it would be proper all the same, so perhaps it would be good to lay out the "no user article" rule. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:33, 28 Apr 2007 (CDT)

:::Indeed. I recall recently that some added ''Majal_kita'' to the list of famous Jetsams... I think it would be best not to include users outside of TNT and actual Neopets due to the double standards that will inevitably occur due to notability. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:58, 28 Apr 2007 (CDT)

==HI JAKE==
hi, um, do you know what type of faerie Fyora is? --unsigned by 71.92.99.181 (Tara) 03:43, 5 May 2007

:[[Fyora]] is the ''Faerie Queen''. :P I don't think she falls under any one alignment, and is capable of all forms of magic (some other special faeries have shown this power as well). To discuss Fyora further, you can use her articles talk page. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:16, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

==Petpetpet article==
Since you mentioned that there were 7 original [[petpetpet]]s ([[Vernax]] article), do you happen to know which petpetpets belong to that group? I'm assuming /petpetpet1.gif - /petpetpet4.gif, but what are the other 3? It seems unlikely that /petpetpet5.gif and /petpetpet6.gif ever were released at all. [[User:DreamingLady|DreamingLady]] 14:21, 10 Jun 2007 (UTC)

:You can read about the 7 petpetpets from the mouth of The Neopets Team itself in [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=102 editorial 102]...they are named as well. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:31, 10 Jun 2007 (UTC)

==Petpet==
[http://www.neopets.com/~100bottles]. Yes, I will eventually (when both university and my little CC-project do not require my attention anymore) edit those articles and add pictures of the Petpets' previous incarnations, as well as adding more article-worthy text. Until then, here's your proof and you'll just have to trust me. As for editing my old post, I din't think it would harm anyone considering no one had replied yet. [[User:DreamingLady|DreamingLady]] 15:24, 18 Jun 2007 (UTC)

==Disco Pets?==
I wasn't sure who to ask about this, but I was wondering why there isn't a page on the color disco. Since it's a color for both neopets and petpets and also featured in many items, I think this should be a page. --Unsigned by Lombre459 17:44, 27 Jun 2007

:Thank you for bringing this to my attention. ;) While Neopets, Petpets and items can all share certain themes, having an article about a each of the themes really doesn't make sense. Can you imagine an article about "Red", and the fact neopets/petpets can be coloured that way, and all red items shared? Seems a little silly, doesn't it? :S

:However, "Disco" is one of those colours which may be notable. besides showing the eccentric content TNT creates, some of the colours also give Neopets clothing for the Neopets customisation feature (at least i think this is right). Having it as an article is something of discussion, which i'm willing to have. *opens up ears*

:For future notices and questions, you can also visit the [[NeoDex talk:Community Portal|Community Portal discussion]], where you can address the community rather than a particular editor. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:14, 27 Jun 2007 (UTC)

I think this may be one of the more notable colors. I think it may be one which deserves a page.--[[User:Lombre459|Lombre459]] 03:42, 28 Jun 2007 (UTC)

::Mmm. I think it is notable enough for an article, also. You are welcome to create one, Lombre459 :¬). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:11, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Under Construction==
Just wondering what the Construction template on [[The Great Desert Race]] was for. --[[User:Hespitinmysoup|Hespitinmysoup]] 04:22, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:For one (and most important), the article didn't have the gaming template on it which should be placed on all game articles which apply. Also, I thought a more detailed and structured outline of the game and game mechanics was needed (and no, i didn't mean take out the "The Game" section). For examples of good game articles, see [[Web of Vernax]] and [[Faerie Bubbles]]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:55, 1 Jul 2007 (UTC)
::kk, I modeled it after [[Eye of the Storm]] sorry, thought that was the par for a decent article. {{sign|Hespitinmysoup}}

==Battledome Equipment articles==
I'm just putting down basic information. There are a lot of things that are still missing and I was just working on filling in the blanks before making them "notable" --Unsigned by Daeron 22:50, 3 Jul 2007

:I can understand where you're coming from. I used to spend quite a bit of my time on wikipedia. I noticed that there was no format for such a thing and I figured I'd use my experience to start one. May I ask why I should look at the template? --Unsigned by Daeron 23:07, 3 Jul 2007

::The way you are currently using the template doesn't seem right. I haven't looked at all the articles you've used it for yet, but you mentioned it as "attack: 2", when i'm sure it's more than that, ESPECIALLY with the faerie alignment each battledome equipment uses.

::Why are you moving the conversation to my talk page when I started it on yours? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:14, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==HTML Help==
I need help, when I do not add the page to my favourites it adds, and you know the bar that says the url of the page you are in, and when i type, (i.e. www.p), and it says pinkpt.com, how do i get rid of it? --AchyfiLover

:If you ''start'' a discussion on YOUR talk page, DO NOT continue it on mine. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:34, 8 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Adding Items==
In the big picture, is there going to be a wiki article for each item? {{sign|Jocelyn}}

:No, as has been stated in a few articles and other discussion (see [[Talk:Main Page]], [[NeoDex talk:Community Portal]], [[Template talk:BattleItem]], [[User talk:Daeron]], and the recently created [[Talk:Ummagine]] for more examples...I know there are more across the NeoDex somewhere). To make an article about ''every'' item would be crazy. Can you imagine an article about "Bread", which is an item on Neopets? What articles to include should always be discussed before creating (use the [[NeoDex talk:Community Portal]] or an [[NeoDex:Administrators|admins]] talk page for this). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:42, 14 Aug 2007 (UTC)

::On this note, we should write a criteria for inclusion... :/ --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 22:32, 14 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Wiki Image==
Maybe a bit of a silly question, but what is a "wiki image". You put the banner at the [[Mibblie]] article back up requesting for a wiki image, even though the article already has an image. Is it prefered to use uploaded files to illustrate articles? [[User:DreamingLady|DreamingLady]] 20:17, 18 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:Wiki image refers to an internal image in the NeoDex database. The image there was an external link, aka pulled from the Neopets database. For more information, see [[Help:Images]]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:19, 19 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Wondering==
Can one change the name of an image file? -[[User:DreamingLady|DreamingLady]] 08:30, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

:I believe you are referring to the current [[Vaeolus]] image, right? The answer is no. If a new title is desired for any image, it must be reuploaded with a different title. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:50, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

==Staff Page Clean==
Hey Jacob! I was looking at the staff page, updating bits here and there, and was wondering if you could perhaps look at cleaning it up given your experience with coding at WIKI? More specifically, the retired staff members list is starting to overwhelm the active staff lists page. Hmmm what do you think can be done? --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 23:22, 28 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:Will see what can be done. Will probably throw in a wiki table to make it more compact. And just so you know, I think it would be good to explain your removal of previous show hosts and other staff members, because they aren't even in the retired section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:18, 29 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::Ta. Once the structure is in, I can play around with the listings a bit more. I asked you because you were familiar with how to code things here. Hosts were removed because the show doesn't really operate on a permanent host basis... we have changing guest hosts every episode so to have them in as "staff" would be inaccurate. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 04:51, 30 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::I guess that makes sense. Should a list of all past hosts be made all the same? Like on the main PPT Show article which isn't created yet, along with other PPT material? In either case, will do what I can for the [[PinkPT Staff]] page. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:57, 30 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==Sorry for the little trouble==
I'm sorry,so sorry,not explaining well,but I'm just a newbie,and also sorry for not answering on days! I was busy on AC 3 {{sign|Andycortez221}}

==I just can't seem to win==
Yet another setback in my life which is going to delay the NeoDex even further: my computer is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATfkpEV-LGk out of commision]. A lot of my work (personal work at least) and plans were set around the computer, so I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. Will be reviewing my repair options, and how I can hopefully continue to maintain a presence online. Even though I'm pretty much going to be gone. Just when I happened to get a hang of thing, ''this'' happens to me. I can't seem to get a break, you know? :(

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know the situation. Will hopefully get things worked out soon... *sigh* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:<nowiki>:</nowiki>( Hope things sort themselves out soon. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 03:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Still don't have a computer of my own, though I may get one within the next month if I decide to follow a certain path. Will find out soon. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

==Correction to the PinkPT Staff Page==
On the PinkPT Staff Page, under PPT Main, for Paid Newsposters, Nevitec and Siouxper are the same person ;) I didn't know where I should contact you, so I figured I'd try here :P

Siouxper 20:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

==Templates?==
Hi Jacob. I hope you don't mind my asking but is it OK for a regular user to create a template? {{sign|72.94.165.145}}

Will you please answer my question? Because I have a template in mind that I would like to create, but I think I might need your go-ahead to do it. {{sign|72.94.165.145}}

:Any user is free to create and edit any page or template...within reason of course. Everything brought forth will be overseen by the other admin and regular users, and it will be debated if it's worthwhile, worthless, or could be done better via another method. Thus is the process of wiki. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Great to have your support, Jacob :). You should drop by every so often, check up on how your brain child is growing - you know, don't be a stranger! =P

::::Not really "back", as I just came in to see how things were after awhile...and it would seem things have gone bust. In the last few days no doubt. I thought I'd stop in and try a few things, though it seems I've lost my admin permissions. Sure, I wasn't around for awhile, but I didn't think ''that'' would occur. Granted it doesn't stop me from trying some things, but...oh well. I take it you've had your hands full (understatement that it is)? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::Sorry about that. Since we won't know who exactly is the person logging back into an inactive account, it's better to remove the sysop and bruracrat status until the identity is confirm.

==Neodex Stats==
Since you've left a message saying that there are other ways to obtain the statistics, I'm wondering, what are the other ways? Is it on the Neodex website itself or is it somewhere else? And by the way, I am doing this for research, becuase I'm interested in the history and statistics for the NeoDex members. I can remove it if I receive complaints about it. Also, since you're a former sysop, do you mind if I ask you an important question? I'm wondering what is a good way to contact a bureaucrat for this website, because I would like to make a request for being a sysop. Thanks, --[[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]] 20:41, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:My reference to there being "other ways" refers to the fact you collected the data in some means already available. And I believe I've already answered somewhere else about becoming a sysop/admin. All a matter if you are deemed acceptable by the current administration...and not if you can contact a bureaucrat or not. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:59, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

::But I'm uncertain about what is the current administration works since I don't see this posted on this website. Perhaps it is posted somewhere on the PPT website? This is the only part of the PPT website that I visit so I'm uncertain and that's why I'd like to clarify it. --[[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]] 01:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

:::If you have questions and concerns with the current admin, bring it to them. If it's about being an admin, it will be discussed among them, and they will let you know. Again, I'm not part of the admin ring, so please don't think that what I'm saying counts for anything. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:26, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but I never asked to be admin. I came to the site, wrote articles, added information and did it well. I got the rights by proving that I was capable, and I was listed on the notable editors page before I got admin. Be patient. It was a year before I was made admin, you've only been "actively editing" for a month. Write articles, add information and do it well. Stop bugging people to be made admin. Personally, I find it quite annoying. -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 14:28, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
:Okay, I didn't mean to be bothering you people all the time. I'm new, I'm curious, and I just wanted to find the answers to these questions because I'm curious and would like to learn about the requirements since they're not posted anywhere on the site. I continuously asked the questions, but that's only because I didn't receive a response for my question, because I wanted to get full answers. Now I've got all the answers all I need, so that's all. --[[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]] 15:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Jacob: correct title?

==Correct title==
Every time I see this title I think, "okay, that can't be right." And no, it can't be, though it's been titled as such for quite awhile. Anyone else a little flustered by this? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie

2009-10-21T14:57:40Z

Jacob: important discussion to note

==Important discussion to note==
The following link leads to [[Talk:Common_Acronyms#MSPP|a discussion]]. I'm noting it here because it has some good bearing on this article. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:13, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Common Acronyms

2009-10-21T14:56:43Z

Jacob: /* MSPP */ then...

==On Adding Acronyms==
Be sure when you add an Acronym it's something Neopets uses or users among the community use to describe things. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:39, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Acronyms and Redirections==
I've been thinking about this for a while: if what an acronym stands for is featured as an article on the Neodex (e.g. [[TNT]]), would it not be more logical to have it redirect to its relevant article rather than this list? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:22, 19 Jul 2006 (CDT)
:You are right Macbeth. I guess we will have to fix all the redirected pages to their proper articles then. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:36, 19 Jul 2006 (CDT)

== Updated appearance ==

I updated the look a bit to make it more manageable (or so I would think). It's been alphabitized, and I'm in the process of adding abbreviation the current list doesn't have. Any suggestions to how the data should be presented? I, for one, think the ":" after abbreviations should be replaced with a "-", which would look cleaner...yes? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:13, 7 Feb 2008 (UTC)

==MSPP==
So, I may be wrong, but I'm about 99% sure that the reason MSPP is Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie is that it's actually a plushie that is described by the three modifiers, being evil, thinking, and in the general shape of a Poogle, and is the character on the MSPP card. The MSP colour is designed to make a pet (Poogle) resemble said plushie and, therefore, when called MSPP is Malevolent Sentient Plushie Poogle because the species is always the last thing mentioned in a colour name. Stupid minor thing but I just wanted to see what others thought. -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:[[Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie]] for info. Also [http://www.neopets.com/pool/all_pb.phtml?f_color_id=45 here]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

::I guess what I'm saying is that that article is wrong. All Neopets are sentient. It's part of the site. What makes the MSPP special is that it's a ''plushie'' that happens to be alive and able to think and move. Think Chucky, the evil doll from my childhood. The pet is Malevolent Sentient '''Plushie Poogle''' and the TCG card is Malevolent Sentient '''Poogle Plushie'''. When you look at the Neopian item naming scheme, the last word is the classification of the item. Plushie Paint Brush vs Paint Brush Plushie. The first is a working PB that paints your pet, the second is a toy. That implies that the MSPP (TCG) required for the avatar is a plushie while the MSPP pet is a Poogle designed to look like the plushie. -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:53, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

:::...I don't think there have been any disagreements that the MSPP is a plushie. Now I'm just wondering what it is we are arguing about. If it's that the wording of certain sentences that need updating, then I suppose that needs to be done. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Jacob: /* Checkuser */ about that...

==Uploading images==
Welcome to NeoDex! Just wanted to tell you that when uploading an image make sure to state its url address ('''without the <nowiki>http://</nowiki>''') in the description. We look forward to more contributions from you :) --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 01:16, 7 Aug 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for the info and the welcome. I'll be sure to do that in future. Do you want me to add that to the other images I added? Also, the Dice-a-Roo image is a single image compiled of six others... but the single image is not on Neopets. Should I state the URLs for each of the individual images? --[[User:Cath|Cath]]
::Yes, please add the url for your other images. As for the Dice-a-roo, you can simply mention that you created this image and the individual pictures came from the neopets.com server. As long as you provide the source of the image, everything's fine. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 04:25, 7 Aug 2007 (UTC)
::You can include the individual sources, yeah. Compilation images like [[:Image:Dicearoodice.png|that]] or [[:Image:Pyramids trophies.png]] are fine where appropriate :¬). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:18, 16 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Petpet Colour Release Dates==
If anyone is interested, I have several years worth on a google document I created. I've made it through June 2005 and I'll be continuing with it over time. I have a lot that isn't here but I didn't want to add it until I had all the colours for a specific petpet, so I wouldn't be constantly editing pages. Do with it what you will: http://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=pdQ_09Wa_SlsosCc58J8SHw&hl=en -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 19:22, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)
:Oh well done! --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 21:27, 20 Sep 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks... updated through April 2006. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 09:11, 20 Jun 2008 (CDT)
:::2006 done. -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 12:19, 2 Jul 2008 (CDT)
:All colour information contained in this spreadsheet has been entered into the Neodex! --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

==Typo Issue==
And you have what against me correcting the typos? ~Mr.Wha...?

:I have nothing against you correcting typos on actual NeoDex pages. It's extremely helpful but it is a waste of time to edit the talk pages and it is best that the talk pages remain unedited other than for markup reasons like my moving your question into a new section. Also, if you were to go through and edit for typos every talk page in the Neodex, there would be no edits other than that, which is silly. Please, if you want to be helpful, edit real pages. There are hundreds of pages that need [[:Category:Under Construction|construction]] work done as well as hundreds of [[:Category:Stubs|stub]] pages that need work. There are also plenty of pages that need articles that are written in a more professional or Wikipedia-style manner. Please take a few minutes to look over the [[Help:Contents|Help]] page to get a better idea of proper Wiki coding as well. Thanks for wanting to help out! --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 21:00, 22 Jul 2008 (CDT)

== Confused ==

I was only emulating the style of “Macbeth” by adding empty categories to the various pages. In fact, it was his Neocola stub with the (previously) empty “varieties” category that inspired me to make my first contribution. I believe that a category with no informative text, while it may look a tad unprofessional to some, can motivate those who have useful information lurking about their brains, to add their knowledge to the pot … Though, if it’s against protocols to follow the examples left by senior members, I shall immediately stop. --[[User:Cybridsovereign|Cybridsovereign]] 02:57, 24 Jul 2008 (CDT)

:I don't have issues with empty categories, only when creating the empty category is the only thing you do on the page. The page you reference was greatly enhanced (rewritten/ links added, etc.) when that section was created (and left blank). Do you understand the difference? If you create an entirely new page but don't have all the info for it but have an idea of what sort of sections should exist but don't have the time or information to fill them in completely, that's perfectly understandable. If all you do is open up an already created article and add a section and "(to be added)" or "coming soon" and nothing else, that's a bit of a waste in my opinion.

:I have no interest in discouraging you or anyone else from helping on this project. There's no way that we could do it on our own and all the help we get is greatly appreciated. Right now I feel a bit distressed because I see that there's so much that could be done and so few people actually doing it. If you see something you want to edit or you feel could be added to, please, do... making a list of jellies using the framework created by the omelette page you praised and one of the item databases should take no more than 10-20 minutes. That sort of addition will be much appreciated by me, as well as other editors, I'm sure. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 03:42, 24 Jul 2008 (CDT)

::Well, if I can't use the style most comfortable for me, then perhaps I should not contribute to this site. Unlike certain overzealous members here, I have limited time; I have school, a full-time job, volunteer work, and an active life away from the internet. I can't always get to everything I intend to, which is why I appreciate the idea of an empty category … If what gives me incentive is pointless to you, then I apologize for wasting your time.

::Perhaps someday in the future, I can find a way to contribute my six years worth of Neopets knowledge without failing to uphold your standards.

:::This is, you may have noticed, a form of Encyclopedia. Due to that, there are certain standards of appearance that should be similar in all articles to add to the cohesion of the encyclopedia as a whole. This is why articles must be in third person, why we have templates for games and battledome characters, and why most, if not all lists look nearly identical. You claimed that you want to follow the protocols of the NeoDex but now refuse to because you want to do it your way. I will tell you now that I don't have the style for the lists memorized... I just grab a list from another page and change the content of it. It's easy and takes less than a minute. Throwing your "life" in our faces is a bit arrogant, as well... We all have lives. We have things we need to do and little time to be here, which is why having stuff done properly is so important... if someone does it wrong, someone else has to come around and fix it.

:::If time is your issue, use what you have to compile the information/coding in a document that you work on a little at a time and, when complete, you can copy into the NeoDex. That's what I'm doing with petpet Colour release dates. I compile them in a google doc which is open for view to any user of the NeoDex, and, as sections get completed, I add them in. I've been working on it for over a year and it's still not done but that doesn't bother me, I know that it will get there eventually. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 16:48, 24 Jul 2008 (CDT)

::::Don't call me arrogant, and don't confuse my message, m'kay? :) I find your feedback to be too personal, and therefore will not heed it. So, in the future, a more objective approach might suit you better for the position of authority that you place yourself in. :) --[[User:Cybridsovereign|Cybridsovereign]]

::::(And don't worry, this will be my last message, so you can clean up your page when you read this. No need for clutter.)

I feel the need to respond to these accusations as I feel them to be unfair. I'm not sure how these comments I've made are "personal". I don't know you, have no vendetta against you, and you are the one who posted here first, so you sought out this conversation. Everything I wrote was full of suggestions to make your work here easier. If you chose to take it in a poor light, that's not something I'm at fault for. This format of communication leaves much open to interpretation. Every time I have said something to contradict your assertions or your practices, I have supplied you with a suggestion for what would be more appropriate or an option that would give you the chance to do things your way and in your own time. These comments could only be considered "personal" in as much as they respond to an issue that you have brought up.

Waiving over my head your extremely busy lifestyle (including volunteer work) and your six years as a member of Neopets is arrogant. You're trying to make yourself sound better and more devoted to stuff away from the NeoDex at the same time you admit to having vast experience on a virtual pet site, which I'm amazed you have time for, with school, full time work, and volunteering... In case you're curious, I'm a full time student, I have a house I have to help run, a garden to tend, a choir to sing in, and a state-wide (Texas) conference to plan and I've been on Neopets for almost 8 years. But I didn't shove that in your face in my last post. I tried to address the issues you have regarding your limited time for the NeoDex and your unwillingness (due to discomfort) to follow the NeoDex's Encyclopedic Standards by giving you suggestions I had hoped would help you. Which, apparently you have decided to ignore or discredit.

Finally, I have no intention of deleting this conversation. Talk pages don't get deleted because they often cover issues that others might have questions about. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 21:00, 24 Jul 2008 (CDT)

:I hope I got it all. Is there any way to limit moving of pages? I'm not sure what's possible within the wiki system, but is there an additional echelon of users we can add that is non-mod/sys-op but have the power to do redirects they get from showing that they're not vandals. That way basic people who create accounts can't do them? Oh, if someone could double check that I got all of the pages and the talk pages moved back, that would be great... should we even bother deleting all of the pages he created that are now redirects? -[[User:Cath|Cath]] 16:16, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

::I'll re-check to see if all attacks have been reverted. There was previous discussion about the redirecting here and you can repost these questions there: [[NeoDex_talk:Community_Portal#Move_restriction]]. The measures put in place are obviously flawed if this same user managed to by-pass them. As for deleting the spammy redirect pages, the [[Special:Listredirects]] would be a total nightmare otherwise and I feel would just denegrate the quality of the NeoDex. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 16:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Multiple accounts/sock puppets should not be allowed period. The majority of wiki rulings here follow the consensus of main Wikipedia rulings. the "in a nutshell" section at the top. That alone should explain it's position. So we don't have full writings on everything related to wiki here? What does it say on Wikipedia? Apply that knowledge here to fit. How I think it would work at least. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

==Captain Scarblade==
This is regarding your edits on the [[Captain Scarblade]] article. [[Captain Dread]] did in fact attack Old Maraqua - Scarblade did not exist until New Maraqua appears. Scarblade was continuing what Dread did not manage to destroy years ago. Please refer to [[The Destruction of Maraqua]]. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 15:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

:Uhh No. Dread is an Outdated version of Scarblade and I can show evidince. They are both Pirates. They both have a ship called the revenge. They both hate Maraqua. Why would Scarblade just attack for no reason? Also, Dread is not in the gallery of evil. In fact Dread completely vanished from Neopian History after Scarblade came along. {{sign|76.219.254.104}}

::As I understand it, Captain Dread ''is'' the one who sunk Old Maraqua to the bottom of the sea. That was how history wrote out. And yet the plot with New Maraqua confuses things, almost as if they are trying to [[Wikipedia:Retroactive continuity|retcon]] the whole event, as I believe Scarblade mentions of finishing what he started in the comics. So there is good reason for the confusion. However, to ignore the fact that it was indeed Dread who originally sunk the city cannot and will not be ignored. I propose a section if each article to speak on this confusion. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:11, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

==Community Portal Lists==
===Completed Goals===
The following are goals which were completed on the NeoDex.

*'''Article Goal (200)''' - 200 articles, our first milestone!
**''? - ? - It's unknown when this goal was reached, but it happened sometime within the first few months of the creation of the NeoDex.''
*'''Neopets List''' - Filling out the list of Neopets and having all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 6, 2006 - Creating an article for every neopet, and users can find/edit them from the <s>Pet types</s> category to which they all are linked to.''
*'''Neopia''' - Filling out the world of [[Neopia]] and making all wiki links work with it.
**''March 3, 2006 - March 7, 2006 - Created the proper named pages, redirecting to the proper worlds in each, and the correctly spelled ones as well, as there were many seperate pages telling information about the same world, when they could be just one.''
*'''Games''' - Making the [[:Category: Games|Games]] category the official section, and taking down all other game pages
**''March 6, 2006 - March 10, 2006 - Moved all seperate gaming pages into one section, and made article copies of same article topic into one article.''
*'''Article Goal (1000)''' - 1000 Articles before the Neodex's first Birthday!
**''July 3, 2006 - July 11, 2006''
*'''Gaming Revamp''' - On November 21, 2006, Neopets redesigned the game room, requiring the NeoDex to add new gaming categories and other information. Time to get our game on! HUZZAH!
**''November 22, 2006 - December 14, 2006''
*'''"To Do List" to "Construction List"''' - On September 27, 2006, an effort to make the [[:Category:Under Construction|Construction]] list to be the official "To Do List" began. All articles linked to the original were to be altered to link to the new list, after which the original would be deleted.
**''September 27, 2006 - January 25, 2007''
*'''Disambiguation''' - A [[:Template:disambig|template]] was created for [[:Category:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] articles on March 11, 2007. We need to mark ''all'' of the articles with it at the bottom of the page, replacing the category coding.
**''March 11, 2007 - March 12, 2007''
*'''Help Section''' - [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] and [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] are currently working on expanding and revamping the NeoDex [[Help:Contents|help]] section. Suggestions can be added to relevant talk pages.
**''January 10, 2007 - April 13, 2007''
*'''Altador Cup 2006''' - There has been a rumor about a new [[Altador Cup]] starting this June. Before this comes about, as much data as possible should be gathered about the previous year, because it's quite possible the old data will disappear when the new one begins. Hurry!
**''April 18, 2007 - May 21, 2007 - Should the 2007 season follow the same format of 2006, it can be easily integrated with the completed 2006 data. If not...At least it has been completed. ;)''
*'''A "Secrets" Category?''' - Why do we need a "secrets" category when all articles are supposed to have secrets in them to begin with? Help fix articles which are linked to this redundant category for its future deletion.
**''May 10, 2007 - May 25, 2007''
*'''It's "NeoQuest", not "Neoquest"''' - There are 2 categories which have misspelled "NeoQuest": <s>Neoquest</s> and <s>Neoquest II</s>. The proper categories should be [[:Category:NeoQuest I|NeoQuest I]] and [[:Category:NeoQuest II|NeoQuest II]]. All articles linking to the wrong categories should be fixed, and when both misspelled categories are cleared, they will be deleted.
**''June 20, 2007 - June 22, 2007''
*'''PPL Category = Redundant!''' - It was [[Category talk:Petpets|recently found]] the <s>Petpet Protection League</s> category is redundant, and should be deleted. Before deletion can occur, all articles within the category need to be edited, severing any connection they have with the category (this also includes talk pages, whose wiki links can simple be <s>struck</s> through).
**''August 15, 2007 - August 16, 2007''
*'''Misspellings 101''' - There are over 150 misspellings in the NeoDex. Let's try to lower them to under 50!
**''April 14, 2007 - August 23, 2007''
*'''Proper Neopet Category''' - It was decided the <s>Pet types</s> was an improper name for Neopets, and that [[:Category:Neopet Species|Neopet Species]] would be better. Once All articles linked to "Pet types" are linked to "Neopets Species", it shall be deleted.
**''September 8, 2007 - October 14, 2007''
*'''"Characters" Category Clean-Up''' - The [[:Category:Characters|Characters]] category has over 200 articles linked to it! In order to make it more easily navigated, we need to link them to more appropriate sub-categories (where it applies). The easiest way to do this it to label the characters as either a [[:Category:Heroes|Hero]] or [[:Category:Villains|Villain]] (or both if it applies). The goal is to get as close to 150 articles in "Characters" as we can.
**''August 28, 2007 - October 26, 2007''
*'''No Such Thing As Spoilers''' - In the past, it was once deemed necessary to label plots as containing spoilers in any wiki if they spoiled something for the reader. However, this has sense changed, and the placing of a spoiler tag on articles is now frowned upon...but the NeoDex still has one!!! We need to remove all tags from articles which have them, then we can delete the template, which has become a relic of a world long forgotten.
**''January 31, 2008 - February 11, 2008''

==Content off Wikipedia==
As a preventive measure: there is content that was copied from Wikipedia, such as [[Neopets, The Website]], but they need to be brought into line with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL GFDL] license, which says that the content needs to be attributed to the writers. (I'm not sure, but perhaps just linking to the Wikipedia article and saying that some content was "taken from" or "based on" it would be enough?) Thanks. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 16:33, 2 Apr 2006 (CDT)

:*bows* thank you for bringing this to my attention. Will make a link to it on the discussion page (along with other articles).--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:31, 3 Apr 2006 (CDT)

::In line with the GFDL, I believe that is still illegal. You have to include it in the References section, the original URL. You may want to add to the general footer that this content is under the GFDL, and may have been taken from Wikipedia. You'll need the notice somewhere. Maybe create a template, a 'Licensed from Wikipedia' one? --Unsigned by 82.27.224.85, 20:43, 16 Nov 2006

::ehh... I dunno, In-Depth Neopedia doesn't have much of a ring too it, especially not for a wiki. I think Neodex is alright, but reminds me a bit too much of Pokedex (y'know, from Pokemon). Neopedia sounds nice to me. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:52, 12 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::At the moment i think this idea is defunct, and shall not be considered anymore. Besides, there would be no way for all members of the neodex to be part of the guild should it be created, as it would mean they would need to leave the other guilds.

=='Editors' Section==
At the risk of seeming somewhat uppity, I am worried about this section... I mean, [[User:Makuta Bookworm|one of the 'editors']] on the list has only ever edited the Community Portal and his user page, [[User:Toothless200|another]], excepting the Community Portal, his user page and the sandbox, made two edits, one minor, to the [[Cheeseroller]] article. These two members haven't edited since the 16th March and the 26th June respectively. A [[User:Qazwiz|third]] hasn't been seen sincde the 29th July and only made nine edits to anything other than his user page or the community portal (and was disciplined for at least one of these)...

Frankly, I feel this section could be made useful as a reference for members of the community who are currently active and make significant contributions or were active and made a significant contribution... After all, it may help for a new user to consult such members...

I think at best the Editor's section should be used as a sort of Hall of Fame of editors - no doubt the wrong words to use, but if you can understand from my above comments what I mean... For example, while [[User:Lord Matt|Lord Matt]] hasn't been on for a while, when he was on he made many of the earliest contributions. [[User:Duke of Earl|Duke of Earl]] contributed in a similar manner.

[[User:Mirmadon|Mirmadon]] for her extensive care-taking and [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] for his dedication (when he got the time, anyway ;)).

Oh, and who is that other, tirelessly devoted one? [[User:Jacob|His name escapes me]], but I'm fairly sure he has done more edits than anyone else. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:26, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:Had to pump up my ego, did you? ha ha. :D You need not worry of the consequences, as i agree with you. the list as it is isn't very helpful to new members, and actually showing a list of members who have/are contributing well to the NeoDex would be better than an optional signature tag. Something like "Editor Hall of Fame", where admin of the NeoDex point out users whom they believe have done a lot for the NeoDex. or "Notable Editors"...i actually like the sound of "Hall of Fame" really. could always be changed, just as we are now changing what the list is. Should a link to each of these users contributions be shown as well? i'm thinking yes. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:32, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

:I removed the list from the discussion, seeing as it doesn't really need to be here anymore (can be grabbed from the history if it wants to be seen). The new list of users will be made shortly. Input is always appreciated, and seeing as this will be a new thing, it will be needed. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:10, 8 Dec 2006 (CST)

==New categrories and articles==
It's time to think of new categories to add it seems. The final 2 articles in the <s>secrets category</s> don't really fit into any other sections. To help this i think it would be good to make new categories for both of them. One such idea is to have a "guides" category, which would show collected lists of information link the [[Mystery Pic Solutions]] and such. Also, the article [[Old Neopets]] makes me think we can expand on the whole "redesign" idea. New articles called "Neopet Redesigns", "Petpet Redesigns", and other such redesigns can be noted (along with the latest [[Neopets 2.0]]). There can even be an category for articles like this as well.

Just giving some ideas on how we can better organize all the data, and looking for feedback. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:51, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

:Both categories sound good to me. I think they'll work perfectly for the articles left under "secrets" and the others. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:33, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

==Versions==
You guys should honestly upgrade your wiki software. I mean, 1.4? 0.o It's 1.10 already out there. [[User:Neoran23|Neoran23]]

:I agree with you. but it's not in my hands, but in the hands of the maintainers of the website. Updating the NeoDex would require updating the main [http://www.pinkpt.com PinkPT] first...which is a process still in the waiting. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:11, 8 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::Uhm, are you sure? I don't think that the wiki version depends on the PHP version installed on the server.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::From my understanding, you need upgraded PHP to use the newer coding. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading As an example], 1.10 requires PHP 5.0.x or later. Also, i only know what i'm told by the maintainers of PinkPT. If they say they can't update yet, I have to take their word. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::::Jacob, is there any plan to update the wiki version? I understand that the PHP version on this server is still version 4 as of this post, but I learnt it the hard way that we are unable to resize uploaded images using wikicodes... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 11:30, 12 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Again, I have no idea when the coding will be updated. This factor should be multiplied considering I've been away for awhile (again, I apologize). It ''would'' be nice to resize images with simple wiki coding, then we could use larger images without worry. But at this point, all we can do is update their sizes manually. Need to find out if this can be changed yet. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Partnership with another wiki==
It has been suggested by the members of the German site helony.com to connect the Neopets articles of the [http://www.helony.com/wiki/ German petgames wiki] respective English ones. For this, you would have to go into the database table which has interwiki in its name, insert hln into the column iw_prefix, http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1 into the column iw_url, leave the other columns blank, then go to the file Names.php ins the languages folder and add
<pre>hln => Helony,</pre> to this list. That would make e.g. <nowiki>[[hln:Neopets]]</nowiki> appear as an interwiki in the sidebar like on Wikipedia. Of course we at Helony would do the same. Please let me know if you are interested in such a partnership :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 19:09, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I think something like this was suggested to me in the past as well by Yukio, saying that other sections were finding affiliates so i could as well. I turned it down, as i didn't think it was nessesary. Think the conversation is in my talk page...i forget. Would like to hear more about this. Are you simply asking for a external link to the german wiki on the NeoDex sidebar? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:10, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::No, I am speaking of a link from every single German Neopets-related article to the respective article on Neodex and vice-versa (not more and not less :D). It would be just a small link in the sidebar, as [http://www.helony.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Himmelsdemon here] the link to my profile on Wikibeta. As I suppose I am the only here, who speaks German, I would set the links myself, I just need the corresponding software changes and of course your approval.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:23, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Similar to the way regular english Wikipedia links to articles in other languages, right? With a "In other languages" box on the sidebar? creating and maintaining other language articles is something i haven't considered, and i've outright deleted articles which were created in other languages in the past here on the NeoDex. Of course, you are saying these articles would link to the article on another wiki, so i suppose that's different than having it on this server.

I just don't know. it's something i haven't bothered to consider, seeing as we already have a lot of work to do on the NeoDex as it is. my apologies on not being more hopeful. :S I do like the idea of having our information be more international, because there are many users out there who i think would like to participate, but can't comprehend the english. A gap we can hope to bridge in the future? Or very soon, should we move ahead with this...*ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:55, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:We could use a template a la [[Wikipedia:Template:Wiktionarypar|those used on Wikipedia to link over to other projects]]... Cross-referencing the Neodex and Helony would be a wonderful step, however it is achieved. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:24, 10 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Macbeth, this solution would be agreeable as well (although a template is actually bigger than a small link in the sidebar :/) So just to be sure, do I have permission to create such a template and add it to existing articles? And is it ok to you if the German wiki just has link to your respective articles as mentioned above? Please note that the German articles are not translations of the Neodex articles, but existing articles on their own.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:05, 11 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:I suggested using a template like that as the NeoDex and Helony are managed by different groups... Different projects, as you will, so article standards and approaches would be different. What concerns me about having an 'alternate language' wikilink is that some may think it was a direct translation, and not a separate project...

:I am quite happy for the template idea to go ahead here, although we should probably wait for Yukio or Jacob to report back on it. If Helony would rather use the interwiki form, then that's fine with me, provided it is noted that they are separate projects so things like user accounts, etc, would not be transferable across wikis, etc...

:I was thinking a template on this end of the style of the featured articles template might be good... or something more like the wikipedia template referenced above? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:56, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::If you would like to try the template idea for the moment, i'm fine with it. It will give a trail basis to the idea of what you would like to try out. Don't know which articles you would place them on, seeing as you say the articles on Helony aren't going to be exact translations. The Interwiki link sounds more preferrible, doesn't it? ;) Will look into it should i manage to catch up with things. Have a "whole plate of pancakes to eat" or so to speak. :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:39, 12 Jul 2007 (UTC)

==Under Construction vs. Stub==
It is suggested on the portal that articles that are 'under construction' be built up to a stub - surely it is the other way around? A stub has very little information at all, a bare few words on a topic... An article that is under construction, however, will have specific areas that need to address and are being addressed... if you see what I mean...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:31, 16 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:You raise a good point. Perhaps we could...have the rules be different here? :S --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:31, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure I follow? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:52, 17 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::Have the role of "under construction" and "stub" be switched around. Sorry to confuse. :P Then again, that doesn't really work if someone with wiki know how comes here and gets baffled. What action are you suggesting? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:21, 18 Oct 2007 (UTC)

::::We could do that, I suppose, but I fancy it would be a bit confusing... And an under construction article preferable to a stub, I think, as there is a clear indication of where to expand it... I thought we could just ask for under construction articles to be developed into less-under construction articles, to be honest xP --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:16, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

:::::I'm thinking the [[Help:Stub]] article needs to be updated to explain the difference once again. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:42, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==Is this important enough to be added?==
I love [[The Tale of Woe]], and when I was searching for things to add to, I discovered there is no article for ''Hissi oil'', the potions that [[Mr. Krawley]] sold. I'm not sure if this would be important enough to be added, but I'd be happy to add it if it is. --[[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 04:22, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think there is enough information to make a Hissi Oil article. Nor do I think it's the only potion Krawley makes. It WOULD be interesting if every potion he gave is Hissi Oil, which would mean Hissi have something sinister within them that makes others transform, but as stated, I don't think that is the case. Personally think he's just claiming it as Hissi Oil and how healthy the potion is like most swindlers who would sell anything for a buck. In either case, think it's important to speak about his potions only in his article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:41, 17 Dec 2007 (UTC)

::Yes, thats what I figured, but I just wanted to cheak. - [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Regarding Neopet popularity==
I would like to have some way to notify readers that the Neopet Popularity we reference when discussing the different species of pets is not entirely accurate. The Popularity page itself admits that it only includes created pets, not morphed or labbed, so the numbers can be widely inaccurate... is creating an article about Neopet Popularity the way to go, or is there another article already existing it would be best to tack this onto? I'm a stickler for accuracy and I don't think that anyone in the world would believe that there are really only 2,300 Krawks in all of neopia... (or 12,000 Draiks, for that matter). --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 00:02, 1 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I feel that we have nothing much to write about if we create an article just for Neopet popularity discrepancy. Since it is near impossible to find out the estimate number of a particular Neopet, I'm thinking of one of the following:
:*Avoid listing the number of Neopet on the Neopet articles.
:*Mention that it's the number of ''created'' Neopet. (ie. created 2,377 Krawks as of October 2007)

::Well, we ''need'' to mention the number of created Neopets, because it's a notable number. Still, it's obvious it isn't an accurate account, and I suppose this could be mentioned in full on the [[Neopet]] article itself.

::And Jacob has been busy, and very bad at keeping up with things that need doing. Still want to complete and edit the NEoDex, though things have just gotten...complicated...is all. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:51, 18 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Image deletion==
I would like to know if there is anyway you could delete the file I uploaded, Old_maraqua.PNG ? I forgot to take away the white background, making it a huge file. I now have a much smaller file, but I was hoping you could get rid of that one first. Thanks! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

:While trying to rush off for work, I really deleted the image before realising it's not required X(. You can always re-upload the image to Neodex with the same filename, instead of deleting. Anything uploaded to Neodex will not be possible to totally remove from the server. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:02, 2 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Ok, thank you very much! [[User:Xweetok|Xweetok]] 08:18 PM, 18 dec 2007

==Battledome Weapons==
Would it be a good idea to create pages for all Battledome weapons? In the Under Construction area, I see many uncreated pages that are about BD weapons and I don't know whether or not I should create pages for them. Should we have some kind of criteria or something before we create pages for weapons? Or would it be best to make pages (such as Freezing Weapons, etc.) and list weapons? These are all just suggestions, though. I'd appreciate some other "opinions" before I do anything :)

[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 01:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

:The only Battledome Weapons we tend to add to the Neodex are ones that tend to be extremely notable like the [[Sword of Skardsen]], [[Ghostkerbomb]], and the [[Attack Pea]] collection. There are several noted item databases as well as battledome databases that chronicle the full list of these items and their effects in battle. In general, we attempt to avoid creating another of them. At some point in the future it might make sense to add examples or lists of the BD weapons sold in each of the weapon/armor shops on those shops' pages but it's not necessary... Perhaps you would be interested in helping us fill in the [[Battledome Equipment]] page? If you see, the [[:Category:Battledome_Equipment]] is not that big and the items tend to be either a notable collection like the [[Scorchstone]]s or [[Hidden Tower]] items. If there are other "groupings" of weapons/armor like the muffins, motes, etc... those would probably be an acceptable addition but please refrain from making a page for every item. :) --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response :) I'll probably do some work on the Battledome Equipment page and fill in information about the shops. One final question: Under the Battledome Equipment Terms section, I have quite a few terms I can add (tank, league, boost, and some others), but these terms usually apply only to "experienced" Battledomers (people who BD a lot). Would it be best if I added these terms or just left them out? [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 12:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Those terms refer to experienced play, in which they are used to quickly explain strategy and the like, so refraining from using them would be best. External links to websites where people use them, explain them and etc. is fine though. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Attacks on User Lookup talk page==
The most recent attack (31 August 2008, around 12pm UTC) all came from a common ISP, which ranges from 194.8.74.0 - 194.8.75.255. We might have to prevent anonymous editing for the whole range for a period of time if the problem persist.

Or are we going to block all (except logged in users) from editing, like what we did before the mediawiki was upgraded? I'm not too sure about this anymore... Wiki is supposed to be allowed for all to modify. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

:One of the many things which I miss was the necessary creation of an account in order to edit the NeoDex, simply because it made things a whole lot easier to maintain. Hopefully it can be brought back into the fold. All should be able to modify articles, yes, but it seems others are ruining that freedom. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Some spammer is adding gibberish to pages, at least I guess it's one person using a lot of accounts, because it's got a pattern. The accounts which I suspect to be used by him are[[User:CacroLvich]], [[User:SitzeLnoli]], [[User:CnaalErour]], [[User:OlozeLalac]] and [[User:RobocRacch]]. And I think he also was DomtaOrelt, RonopAsbod, AcelrOalcv, OuricDronv and a lot of other spam accounts, like RictaDarsi, who created a lot of spam pages. Could anyone do something against him? --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 14:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I probably was wrong when saying it was one user who added the spam to pages - my new guess it's a bot network or something. When users get blocked like all those vandals, account creation is disabled, so they have to use another computer to sign up again, and I don't think that vandal has 16 or more computers. My guess is that he's a hacker/cracker who controls a bot network or something comparable. Just wanted to correct what I said. --[[User:Likiana|Likiana]] 17:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

:I only ''wish'' it were that easy to prevent vandalism! Sort of like the movie Minority Report, we stop the vandals before they strike hehe. Unless there's something I don't know about I guess the only way is to deal with the spam as they come and hopefully it will stop soon. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 05:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

::We could implement the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA], which can greatly reduces the amount of vandalisms, while still allowing anonymous users to edit. By default, the reCAPTCHA will apply to anonymous edits with links (which we are currently encountering), new accounts (we had this problem in the past when we disallowed anonymous editing, and it came back briefly recently as mentioned by Likiana), and brute force attack on accounts. If that is not enough, we can further implement reCAPTCHA on new page creations and all edits. Registered users on the other hand, will not be affected by this reCAPTCHA. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 18:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== New Head/additional Head Admin needed ==
I can no longer give the necessary attention to this wiki that it deserves. Plenty of you can attest to that. So, I need to hand the torch to someone that can. I know I've been the go to guy for pretty much all questions and situations, mostly due to the fact I've built the wiki from the ground up. Now that my life is filled with complete fail, however, someone else must be able to take up the task of keeping things in order.

From what I've seen, the "head" of the admins needs to keep articles and links in order, thinking about the whole of the wiki, and discovering new and better ways to present and archive data. Requires a diverse understanding of what articles are within the NeoDex, and wiki coding. Good social skills help as well, because nothing makes things more confusing than someone who can't explain something well. This socially stunted man can attest to that.

As I haven't been here in awhile, I don't know who has been keeping the most tabs with things, so I think it would be good to hear from the rest of you how the status quo should change. Again, this isn't an all powerful position in which you can do whatever you please. The Head Admin is just like every other Admin...with more emphasis. Of course, if that's the case, must there BE a "head"? Discuss Any and all thoughts you may have.

My apologies for having it take so long, but I'm officially putting my foot down and saying someone else must take the job of Head Admin. Or stand in. Or become an additional. Whatever. However it's going to be. Just hope we can discover a solution so that the wiki won't suffer anymore due to my failings. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:I will go ahead and say that I am sure many will agree that nothing you have done can be considered a failing. It is more a... concurrence of unlucky circumstances.
:That said, we need to come up with a candidate for a new head admin. I can imagine four candidates: [[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[Special:Contributions/Macbeth|contribs]]), [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]] ([[Special:Contributions/Emeraldosprey|contribs]]), [[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ([[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contribs]]), and [[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] ([[Special:Contributions/Dizzy|contribs]]). They all have their different pros and cons (please don't take offense).
:*Macbeth: Oldest ([http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights Rights log]) sysop after Kym and Jacob, therefore has the most experience. Sadly not very much active during the recent time.
:*Emeraldosprey: Shows very much and constant dedication, is however the "youngest" sysop.
:*SwordFire: Is generally experienced with coding, which includes not only wiki coding, but PHP. Therefore most likely to come up with new ideas and to have them implemented. However, slightly less active than Emeraldosprey.
:*Dizzy: Has always made a reliable impression. One could only complain at the fact that most of her recent contributions are reverts.

:Regarding possible other candidates: I think we all agree that the new head admin needs to be a present admin. While [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] has not contributed for over 2 (!) years, [[User:Cath|Cath]] shows large times of activity followed by equally long inactivity. While I simply show inactivity and currently don't have the time for being a head admin.
:I hope I did't say something that anybody took offense for. Discuss.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

::Mostly reverts shouldn't be an issue here. We are all doing mostly reverts recently due to spam attacks :P.
::Recently I've to concentrate on my other commitment due to the upcoming Firefox 3.1. I usually becoming less active whenever a new Firefox version is going to be release. During at this time, I'll still be monitoring the Neodex via the RSS. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 07:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I still have some other people to contact, because I don't think this is reaching enough ears at this point. I loathe not being able to focus enough time on things like this... :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sorry about the late response (thanks for reminding me Demon)! I don't know, I've never been the leader type. It seems like most of us have been too busy to devote time to the NeoDex and all we can do is revert. I've been focusing most of my attention on school as my grades have, erm, "slipped" ;P I hope to make up for my absence during the summer which is unfortunately a long ways off. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 19:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

::While I am touched to have been mentioned here, I do not think I would be able to give the NeoDex the regular attention that I gave it circa 2006 and 2007, the level of attention that you all undoubtedly deserve from me - of course, Jacob's shoes would be very hard for any of us to fill. My involvement both with Neopets and the Neodex has been unacceptably sub-par recently, for which I apologise unreservedly, but I am afraid that it was and is unavoidable due to conditions in my personal life at the moment, the details of which (for the sake of brevity and not wishing to sound too self-indulgent) I will spare you.

::I am willing to do what I can here - I still check in with what time I can spare to pursue the recent changes - but my usefulness is no doubt heavily limited by how I am not keeping up with the Neopets site itself.

::No one can replace the hard work put in by Jacob, who nurtured the Neodex out of its infancy to blossom into what is, truth be told, almost a self-supporting project. Whether he can be active in his role or not, Jacob is and will remain, as much as he ever was, the Head Admin: the Neodex is truly his brain child. All anyone else can hope to do is to fill in in the mean time.

::Our admins and our editors have by themselves been keeping an eye out for vandalism, and still able to fulfil the primary objectives of this wiki - to expand, and to improve, its coverage of all things Neopets, and to become the a one-stop resource for Neopians everywhere. I would suggest if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops, being the go-to-person on Neodex policy, and directing the Neodex's development in the future, then I any of our sysops are qualified for the job. I give my personal endorsement and faith to [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 them all].

::On a personal note, while I may not have an active presence on the site as I once did, I ''will'' appear from time to time, and you are all at liberty to contact me - you should be able to e-mail me through the Neodex [[Special:Emailuser/Macbeth|here]], which should also be linked on my user-page in to toolbox on the bottom left - if you would ever like to call on me to address something specific around here - you have total access to my consultancy :).

::I hope I find you all well, and I hope that both Jacob and I will be able to eventually give the Neodex more consistent ministration. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:::I personally don't see the need for a "head admin" as the wiki seems to run fine even in Jacob's absence. During the recent spam attacks, all admins here worked together to keep the site clean of spam even though there was no "leader" to organize them. I don't see why this cannot continue in the future. Any thoughts? --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

::::As much as I whole-heartedly agree with ''nearly'' every aspect of what Macbeth has said (thumbs up!), there is one issue I'd like to bring up. You said "if we are looking for someone to fill in the roles of promoting new editors to sysops..." The problem currently is, that sysops cannot promote members. Only bureaucrats can, that is, [[User:Yukio|Kym]] and [[User:Jacob|Jacob]]. I don't know whether Jacob will be online often enough to fulfill these duties, and I believe Kym doesn't have the time to look for possible sysop candidates. Of course we as the sysops could always come to Kym with a full-reasoned proposal so that he can promote the people. Question is whether he would be willing to go through the hassle of doing this every time.

::::So I have to ask you, Jacob, do you think you can ensure that deserving members of the community are promoted to sysops whenever necessary - without us having to go to Kym every time this needs to happen? If yes, I can say with a clear conscience that I don't have any objections to the situation staying like it currently is :) --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Kym has enough on his hands to have the sole responsibility of promoting regular editors to admin, especially when he doesn't regularly edit articles here. I assume he's expecting we as the editing community to govern ourselves in such a way to work independently of the rest of PinkPT. Which I suppose brings up the need to have someone else to "lead" besides myself. Still haven't heard any news from him or the rest of the staff yet, and I'm a little worried at that, but I'm hoping a solution can be found and continued (improved?) flow of information can continue. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, it might be a good idea to raise it at the next AIM meeting, then. I mean, the Neodex has always been a bit independent, but I can appreciate the value for his input. It may be sensible to promote a few of the current sysops to buearocrats, make sure the Neodex is regularly backed up, and hope no one goes completely mad with power! ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

::Hi guys, Kym here. Apologies about the tardy response - I was involved in a car accident in South America, was in surgery for a week, and have arrived back in Australia for about two weeks now - the recovery involving many doctor appointments.

::Before I left for South America, I initiated a change in the staff system at PPT, and have spent the past two weeks implementing the changes etc. All staff here are required to sign up at http://www.pinkpt.com/forum - make sure you PM me your username so I can give you access to the private staff board. All staff decisions will be made from there. As I check that board every day now, I can be contacted if anyone ever needs me.

::The appointment of Jacob's replacement is necessary - and I will be working with all staff here at the NeoDex to assure that the transition goes smoothly.

== Wiki protection ==

Maybe we should set the wiki to allowing registered users only and require new accounts to be confirmed by sysops before they can edit? I know I have seen that option in the documentation somewhere, would have to dig around a bit...--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 17:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:Requiring accounts to be sysop-activated seems a bit far - plus, how are we meant to distinguish the accounts that ''will'' become good users from the ones that will not, based on no edits? Forcing registration again sounds like a good idea, though. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

::Well, the main reason why I suggested activation by hand was that we might get mass registrations like [[User:EltroRolri]], [[User:OuricDronv]], [[User:OlotrVarac]] etc (see [[Special:Logs/Block]] from January 8th). I will wait for more feedback for now and then talk to Kym about that. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 20:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

:::In most cases, these kind of accounts were created using a bot, which can be prevented by implementing something random like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit |ConfirmEdit] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA]]. We can further extend it to anonymous edits to prevent anonymous bots from editing. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you think that popular avvie items such as the [[Zafara Double Agent Plushie]] and [[Faerie Queen Doll]] should have their own articles on the NeoDex?

[[User:A Neezles A|Charlotte xoxo]] 22:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:These items are notable, but in my opinion do not have a lot of information to become an article.

== Move restriction ==

To prevent (future) grief to everyone here, I'm going to request for a move restriction to new Nexdex accounts. This will prevent anybody from create a new account just to start moving articles all over the place. I'll not mention how long will it take for an account to be allowed to move an article though.

This will take some time to implement, depending on how fast Kym access the server and make the modification. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:I love this idea, but I don't know, Hagrid a.k.a Wheeler a.k.a. Tewapack a.k.a Willy on Wheels a.k.a.

::::Another restriction that I can think of is to request all Neodex users to add an email account and confirm it. That way, Vandals have to go through several steps before he/she can do some damage. But I'll need to look into this first.

::::As for the vandalism, the only way to partially prevent this is to implement a full lockdown (ie. no anonymous edit, account approval by sysop, etc.), which I do not really prefer. Moreever, those accounts which sysop approved might be vandals themselves. But I'm open for suggestions. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::BTW, a vandal may start being helpful, try to go admin, and then start vandalizing with admin powers and deleting the good pages and creating bad ones, and protect them. Or we could just block moving for non-admins all along. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::At the moment, I don't think anybody is going to be promoted to sysop, unless we have an active bureaucrat first.

Sorry for not blocking the vandal earlier, but I've been collecting information regarding the attacks. Now that I've seen enough, I'm blocking the IP range of a certain ISP for two weeks. User using that ISP will not be able to edit or register an account during this period of time. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 01:52, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==Recent deletion of this page==
Don't you guys think deleting all versions of this page is kinda overkill just to hide a few? Wouldn't it have been better to restore '''all''' versions except the ones with sensitive info in question?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 21:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

:That is a little rough, I have to agree. Though, I forget if that's possible with the current coding. Still trying to clear out the dust n dirt which gathered from my months of not being here. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Um, I just wanted to know if you can delete this page. http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Altador_cup_4&redirect=no

I know this is a stupid request but well I just feel that the c should be capitalize and I can't edit it and change it so the only thing I can think of is to delete it but I don't know how. So can you? [[User:Ashpoke|Ashpoke]]

:I've moved the page to capital lettered C. [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pinkgirl]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|34]] 02:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

== Question about Requirements for Sysops ==
I have a question: What are the requirements for becoming a sysop? It doesn't seem to be posted on this website. For example, how many edits are required and how long does the user have to be on NeoDex in order for someone to promote them to a sysop?

:::Requirements are a good understanding of wiki coding, understanding of the NeoDex itself, sensible mind and good communications skills. That's in summary at least. I know this has been asked before, but I forget where. In essence, should you be a trusted and capable editor (and should one be needed), such an editor will be considered. Then again, that's how I recall it, and I'm not part of that anymore, so... :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Category talk:Colours

2009-10-15T03:47:25Z

Jacob: /* Time to move articles? */ new section

==Include more colours?==
In my absence, it would seem more colour articles were added, such as [[Starry]] and [[Skunk]]. I've refrained from doing such things, because it would mean to eventually make an article about "Red", which seems rather redundant. What do the rest of you think? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:11, 16 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I believe the line is being drawn at PB colors or possibly "non-plain" pb colors... meaning not brown or purple or pink... etc... If you must have an article for all of the colors, we could have a single article for the "Basic colors"... if one doesn't exist yet. Although the petpet lists for these colors could be interesting, as well as lengthy. :S Welcome back. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 21:50, 16 Jun 2008 (CDT)

::I agree with Cath - Another alternative name will be "Plain colours". By the way, welcome back - You have a LOT of catching up to do. ;) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 00:51, 17 Jun 2008 (CDT)

:I'm the one who has been making the new colour articles. I asked a question similar to this over on the [[Talk:The Rainbow Pool#Articles for each Colour?|Rainbow Pool Talk Page]]. I was told that it would be okay for me to write articles on "unique" colors, so I have been continuing to do so. However, I personally think that we should have an article on each colour, even the "natural" ones like "Red". I have two main reasons for this:

:#The first is that colours are a very integral part of the Neopets game. I've seen users scrimp and save for paint brushes, zap their pets for months hoping to get a good colour, and troll the pound for hours looking for a correctly coloured pets. Because colours are so important to the game, I think that having articles for each colour is just as valid as having articles for each Neopet species.
:#My second reason is that colour pages are elegant segue-ways from one Neodex article to another. I think that many people will agree with me that one of the best parts about reading a wiki is clicking through a chain of wiki link to "drift" from one article to the next. Because colours are mentioned in so many articles, they are excellent pathways for "wiki diving." For example, I could easily get from [[Sophie]]'s article to [[Lyvon Cibaire]]'s article if we had a "Green" article.

:Yikes! This is a long comment. I hope people can read through it all without getting bored. :P --[[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

Don't forget that there are plenty of Petpets to consider on this as well. Creating an aritcle for the colour "Blue" will yield over 100 Petpets, so... :S

In either case, the main issue about not having articles of basic or plain colours was that they weren't notable enough. And even then, think of the work it would entail, especially on something which wasn't as important as keeping up to date with characters and plot developments (not to mention all the plots which still need to be completed). Still, it seems someone wants to try and work through the challenge, so... *shrugs*

I'm fine with the idea of having such colour articles, though my concern is how to sensible do such a thing. Let's use the example of [[Chocolate]]. As we all know, it's a colour neopets/petpets can come in, but that's not all Chocolate is. It's also a type of food, has a [[Chocolate Factory|shop]] which focuses on it and other tidbits around Neopets. Yet in its current state, it's all about the colour.

Not only that, but is someone typed into the search bar for Chocolate and hit the enter key or click the "Go" key in place of "Search", they would come to that article, and probably wanting to find something else related to Chocolate instead. This same thing may happen with the other colours, in that someone is searching for "Red", yet not the colour.

Mostly this is just an issue with article title, and making sure redirects don't exist so users aren't taken to the colour article if they are searching for something else. The articles could perhaps be titled "Blue (colour)" instead of just "Blue"...just as an example.

Now THAT is a long response. :P --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:41, 24 Jun 2008 (CDT)

== Time to move articles? ==

The creation of "colour" articles has gone through, and it's a show of one's commitment. Still, I think it's time to make the next step in making things sorted right, and give the articles proper titles. It's already been mentioned in the topic above, and we should try and put "(colour)" next to the titles of articles where applicable. Willing to work on this next after my current focus is moved. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 03:47, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Jacob: /* Release dates */ new section

==Deletion?==
The user Daeron places a deletion template on the article without even stating a reason why? :S Okay. I'm confused. This ''may'' be due to his/her intention to create an article for each Scorchstone, which if that was the case, this wouldn't be deleted, but turned into a disambiguation article. However, we don't even know if we will do such a thing yet, or if it's even needed...so i suppose we are on the hold for now. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:56, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:The Neodex is '''not''' a database of items. Articles can be made denoting types of items and item collections, but not individual items. Hence, this article should be preserved but we should not have individual articles for each scorchstone, no more than for each snowball, or codestone, or an article dedicated to the item ''2/3 Green Pepper Omelette''. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:05, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::Because of what is aid above, we can merge [[Jade Scorchstone]] into this article, and mayhaps have it's own section as well...or should more discussion be had? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 21 Oct 2007 (UTC)

==List==
I'm not sure if this alpha order for the list is the best way to order it. I was thinking it might be more useful to have them in two lists one of Healing Stones in order of healing ability, and the other a list of Defensive Stones in order of icons of defense. I'm guessing if they are listed they should also be notated with full Battle info instead of the short-cut I took? But the info is there now, so that should help.--[[User:Cath|Cath]] 00:00, 11 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:Agreed in having 2 seperate lists. i've been meaning to do an update of this article as well, every since another user spurred me on into creating the [[Template:BattleItem]] (which i don't think will be used with any of the scorchstones here, as it would be redundant). And the info you've put forth does help. thank you. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:18, 11 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:On an update, I'm considering using the pretty much unused battledome equipment images for the list, and going over it with the current editing/mergers ([[:Image:BE Stat Heal.gif|this is one of those images]] I speak of). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:24, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

== Release dates ==

Finishing up on my update of the article, and the only thing that I can see missing is the release dates of Scorchstones/Dragonstones and the Jade one itself (along with when it retired). I'm sure this can be discovered through someone else, along with a better means to updated the overview section, which I'm content with leaving at this time. Again, release dates are all that I believe is needed. Other than that, article is finished at this time. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:14, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Scorchstone

2009-10-02T10:12:07Z

Jacob: added Dragon Stones image, added some info on the Ice Scochstone, removed mentions of dates to make it look clean and finished...as I think I am

[[Image:Gold Scorchstone TCG.png|frame|The '''Golden Scorchstone''' as seen in the [[Neopets TCG]].]]

A '''Scorchstone''' is a rare gem in the shape of a [[Scorchio]] holding an orb (hence the "scorch" part of their name) used as [[Defence Magic]] in the [[Battledome]]. There are 12 types of Scorchstones with varying powers as of October 2009. The majority of Scorchstones are sold at the [[Defence Magic Shop]], while 2 (''Ice Scorchstone'' and ''Jade Scorchstone'') are sold at the [[Hidden Tower]].

==Overview==
Scorchstones are primarily known today for their ability to heal Neopets during Battledome fights. These healing items have more worth to users because they can be used once per battle rather than one use (the exception being Ice Scorchstone, which can be used until it activates). The healing Scorchstones and the Battledome challengers who use them are...

==Notable Scorchstones==
===Jade Scorchstone===
[[Image:Jade scorchstone.gif|right]]
The Jade Scorchstone is a rare and [[retired]] Scorchstone from the Hidden Tower. It's the most sought after of all Scorchstones and is prized by [[Battledome]] players for its once-unique 100% healing properties. Its popularity has waned when cheaper full healers were released, such as the ''Leaded Elemental Vial'', which regularly restocks at the [[Royal Potionery]], and the single-use ''Lucky [[Robot]]s Foot'', which restocks at the [[Battle Magic Shop]]. In comparison, the Jade Scorchstone would cost several million more [[Neopoint|NP]] than either item.

===Ice Scorchstone===
[[Image:Icy scorchstone.gif|right]]
Like the Jade Scorchstone, the Ice Scorchstone is a full healer, yet it only activates as such 25% of the time when used. Unlike other healing Scorchstones, the Ice Scorchstone can continue to be used until it activates, after which it cannot be used till another battle starts. This feature has made it look poor to the eyes of frequent Battledome users, who prefer to have a reliable healing item rather than have it by chance. It was first released at the Hidden Tower on December 9, 2003, and continues to sell for 3 million [[Neopoint|NP]] as of October 2009.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Dragon Stone Collage.png|frame|The Bronze, Gold, Silver and Earthen Scorchstones used to be called ''Dragon Stones''.]]
*As of September 2009, there are 5 Scorchstone-related items: 3 [[Neopets TCG|TCG]] Cards and 2 [[Stamp]]s/Collectable Coins.
*Scorchstones were originally released as ''Dragon Stones'', but the name was changed on May 14, 2001. It's also possible the ''Dragon Stones'' were based upon the [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:The_Orbs_of_Dragonkind Orbs of Dragonkind], an articfact in [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] (which many of [[The Neopets Team|TNT]] played).

*The '''Elestone''' is similar to a Scorchstone, though it depicts an [[Elephante]] holding a jewel instead of a Scorchio.

[[Image:Gold Scorchstone TCG.png|frame|The '''Golden Scorchstone''' as seen in the [[Neopets TCG]].]]

A '''Scorchstone''' is a rare gem in the shape of a [[Scorchio]] holding an orb (hence the "scorch" part of their name) used as [[Defence Magic]] in the [[Battledome]]. Released on ''(need date)'', there are 12 types of Scorchstones with varying powers as of October 2009. The majority of Scorchstones are sold at the [[Defence Magic Shop]], while 2 (''Ice Scorchstone'' and ''Jade Scorchstone'') are sold at the [[Hidden Tower]].

==Overview==
Scorchstones are primarily known today for their ability to heal Neopets during Battledome fights. These healing items have more worth to users because they can be used once per battle rather than one use (the exception being Ice Scorchstone, which can be used until it activates). The healing Scorchstones and the Battledome challengers who use them are...

User of IP address 75.177.190.61 recently added this...<blockquote>''He also loves his cats and his girlfriend Donna Williams.

From a recent edit in the trivia section...<blockquote>''It is rumoured that Adam make most Petpets based of Pokemon except for Pikachu which he rumoured to be hate that he place it in the Devil's mouth of Gallery of Evil''</blockquote>The only reason I could see this being in the article to begin with is a mention of Adam's hate of Pokemon...yet I don't recall if he hate's them or not.

{{Construction| reason=Wikified article needed, and plot summaries to fill}}

'''Adam J. Powell''' (also known as ''Number Six'', and born December 20, 1976 in [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is the co-founder of [[Neopets]], who launched the website with [[Donna Williams]] on November 15, 1999, starting from an idea they had in 1997 while sitting in a dingy little computer room, possibly while eating kebabs or pizza. On September 27, 2008, he and [[Donna Williams]] got married after being friends for 12 years.

Prior to founding Neopets, he was involved in [http://www.shoutad.com Shout! Advertising], a UK-based advertising company which operated the third largest click-through program on the Internet by mid-1999. He also founded ''Powlex'' in March 1997, which designed and sold online banner advertising, and ''Netmagic'' in July 1999, which focused on web page design.

In 2007, Adam and Donna founded [http://www.meteorgames.com/ Meteorgames].

Powell is mentioned in the hall of fame at his secondary school, Collingwood College, although he had a self-described "spectacular failure at university." He is also claimed to be a former member of [[Wikipedia:Mensa International|MENSA]] with an [[Wikipedia:Intelligence quotient|IQ]] of 174.

Powell has two cats called Sarah and Chani, his family has four cats called Oscar, Daisy, Bill and Ben.

==On Neopets==
Adam's Neopets account is [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=borovan borovan], a name taken from a late-80s sketch on British Saturday morning TV featuring the comedians [[Wikipedia:Trevor and Simon|Trevor and Simon]]. In this account, he has a total of 5 Neopets, +1 the maximum amount users are allowed to have. It is also through this account users try to match their [[Neopoint]]s value exactly with his (viewable at the [http://www.neopets.com/aboutus.phtml About Us] page) to receive an [[Avatar]] which shows off the top of his head.

References to Adam's craving for [[Asparagus]] exist throughout Neopets. If users type "asparagus" on the Neopets search engine, Adam will show up and say, "You can't have it, it's all MINE!", and also appears and says a variation of this when users click on parts of certain games. In [[Whack-A-Staff-Member]], typing "a5paragu5" enlarges the size of the mallet. Also, 4 out of 5 of his Neopets are Asparagus [[Chia]]s (the 5th a Red [[Bori]], usually in a "sad" pose), and all users Neopets become Asparagus Chia on Adam's birthday (may have only been one year).

Adam's nickname '''Number Six''' is taken from the 60s show ''[[Wikipedia:The Prisoner|The Prisoner]]'', and is used to signify him when participating in [[plot]]s or certain [[item]]s (such as the '''Number Six [[Plushie]]''', an [[Advent Calendar]] prize on December 20th, 2004).

Adam occasionally visits the [[PinkPT]] forum to interact with users and keep tabs on how they view new features, listen to suggestions on how to improve the website, and sometimes share features before they are released.

==Plot Summaries==
===Sacrificers===

{|align=right

|}
On September 29, 2000, #6 was voted to be sacrificed to [[Mumbo Pango]], ironically the 6th victim to be chosen. He was tied to a circular wooden board and thrown down the river. As he floated down the river, [[Pop Tart]] covered her eyes so she couldn't watch, [[Tiger Catcher]] happily waved goodbye and [[Bye-Gon Jinx]] watched silently in disbelief. The river ended in a waterfall, which #6 went over screaming as he plunged to his death.

===Ski Lodge Murder Mystery===
:''Main Article: [[Ski Lodge Murder Mystery]]''
[[Image:sc11.gif|frame|left|Number Six during the Ski Lodge Murder Mystery.]]
Number Six arrived at the ski lodge sometime after February 2, 2001, and on February 7, was asked if the murderers name began with the letter '''M''' before there was even a murderer, baffling him. After the death of [[Cookie]] February 20, he was asked the next day if he was worried about being the 6th victim as he was in the past, and said it was coincidence, and was very sure there would be no more murders.

On May 24, 2001 (Week 16), Number Six was captured by [[Maverick]] and dropped to his death, the last victim.
