Editing User talk:Blue

== Cite.php ==

Hi! I'm not sure if you have access to the Wiki's interworkings, but if you do, could you possibly [[Talk:Main_Page#MediaWiki_Cite_extension_-_Could_it_be_added|check this out]]? I couldn't understand your talk page redirected to the SFC page, so I removed it. --[[User:Puma|Puma]] 06:42, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

== NeoChat images ==

Hi again! As you can see, I [[Special:RecentChanges|recently]] uploaded several old-board images to the site in order to display them on the [[Neoboards]] article at 60x60 (The original images with 80x80). However, I tested it out and the 80x80 images look just fine along the 60x60 images, so I decided I'll go back on my previous plans and directly link to the onsite images instead. If you will, please delete them. I've put them into 'Category:Delete' for your convenience (It's will with oodles of other stuff if you will, too). Thank-you! --[[User:Puma|Puma]] 04:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

== Spam ==

Quick! See what I said here: [[Talk:Main_Page]] - Hurry! We're being invaded with spam! --[[User:Puma|Puma]] ([[User talk:Puma|talk]])

Taking down the Wiki for a bit... --[[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 02:22, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Back up.  The old version was (successfully) using ReCaptcha but unfortunately, that was depreciated and no longer viable in 1.22.  For now, I set up the QuestyCaptcha.  --[[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 02:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

:All good. Did you set it to just external links, or unregistered users all together? The second option is much for feasible, considering that it would eliminate all spam articles and allow registered users to edit. Regardless, testing it out by posting this message while no logged-in. --[[Special:Contributions/24.119.228.163|24.119.228.163]] 02:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

:Apparently it's not confined to un registered edits. Now trying links: http://www.neopets.com (And upon saving - it works!) If you'd like, I can help gather spam articles by placing them in Category:Delete. --[[Special:Contributions/24.119.228.163|24.119.228.163]] 02:55, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I didn't see any specific settings for it.  However, logged in as me, I can post external links without any problem.  Trying to edit a page while not logged in prompted a Captcha. --[[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 02:59, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

And, yes, please gather the spam articles and put them in Category:Delete.  I'll wipe them out when you're done.  Thanks much for doing that! ~ [[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 03:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

:Just so you know, deleting the delete category kind of defeats the purpose =P You should delete the articles files within it, not the category itself. --[[User:Puma|Puma]] ([[User talk:Puma|talk]]) 03:12, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

LOL.  Bear with me.  Before a couple days ago, I knew zero about mediaWiki.  So... follow each article, then delete them from there?  Heh.  how 'bout that? ~ [[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 03:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

:That's alright! I wish there was a place you could mass-assign articles to be deleted. Might I ask, how did you become an admin here if you didn't know much about MediaWiki just days before? --[[User:Puma|Puma]] ([[User talk:Puma|talk]]) 03:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

You may certainly ask.  Really, my "zero" comment above is a little bit of an understatement. But only a little :)  I am the admin for the pinkpt forums, and more recently became the web admin for pinkpt overall while helping fix the major crash late in 2013.  For what its worth, the problems with the NeoDex are what lead to the crash/loss of forum data :(  

Anyway, Crimsonfox was poking around the forums while the 'Dex was down.  When we (Kym, me and the hosting tech support team) got everything back up and running, Crimsonfox asked if I could add the ParserFunctions extension to the Wiki.  I figured, "Why not?"  So, I figured out how to give myself admin rights on the NeoDex, how to add the extension, and then added it.  Then I went more or less dormant, except for adding a few pages here and there (like the SFC - which you fixed for me).  Then you came along and asked for another extension or two.  That then led to the upgrade... and here we are!  ~ [[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 03:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Out of curiosity - why don't you have a page for yourself?

:Hmm, is Kym still around? --[[User:Puma|Puma]] 03:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

He's very busy with his multiple ventures.  He's pretty much left me to tend to things pinkpt, but I had been mostly sticking to forum stuff until very recently.  I track Kym down as needed.  It helps to have the secret decoder ring and a Shoyru Signal.  ~ [[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 05:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

:Ah, nothing to say on a page about me yet. I've managed several other wikis over time, but eventually quick and ended up here later. Lot's of things around here were outdated or just not "wiki" enough, so I came to fix them. (I know you didn't ask, but why not) --[[User:Puma|Puma]] ([[User talk:Puma|talk]]) 03:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm glad you offered.  I could pry more, but was hoping you would put something on a Puma Page.  

I am very happy that you're here updating and fixing things.  '''Thank you very much for your work!'''  If you need/want any extensions, feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do.  FWIW, The php files behind the wiki are not terribly foreign as opposed to the php files behind the phpBB forums.  Migrating over to the Wiki things wasn't terribly difficult.  Wiki page editing/formatting is a different story.  Completely different from bbcode.  ~ [[User:Blue|Blue]] ([[User talk:Blue|talk]]) 05:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

== Request for contact ==

Hi again Blue! (I'm the only person thus far to have posted on your talk page =P) Is there an email I may contact you with? I have something very important to discuss, so please let me know how I may do so as soon as possible. To elaborate, I've gotten Ian of TDN, Sunnyneo and Jellyneo fully behind this plan, but it all depends on co-operation and who we can get in touch with accordingly. Hope to hear from you soon. --[[User:Puma|Puma]] ([[User talk:Puma|talk]]) 18:26, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
