|
| 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><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|imagelinkhere</nowiki><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|}</nowiki>
| |
| <br style="clear:both;"/>
| |
| 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><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|imagelinkhere</nowiki><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|Optional text.</nowiki><br>
| |
| <nowiki>|}</nowiki>
| |
| <br style="clear:both;"/>
| |
| 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)

| 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)
| |
| *looking 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)
| |
| : *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)

| ==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
