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

NeoChat images

Hi again! As you can see, I 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! --Puma 04:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Spam

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

Taking down the Wiki for a bit... --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. --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. --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. --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. --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! ~ 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. --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? ~ 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? --Puma (talk) 03:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
