== the next epi-snowed ==

I added that fun fact because it is a little odd that Blue Laser would tell his minion to add something that has already been added, especially since Blue Laser appears to be staring at the list as he says it.  I would think this merits some fun fact-ness.  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 22:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
:It's been added and removed a couple of times, and is on the [[Talk:The Next Epi-Snowed#Cold cuts easter egg|talk page]] without much response. I personally think that something that obvious isn't notable, that's all. You are right, i should have been a bit descriptive in my summary. (Also thank you, my talk page is no longer lonely.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

:This is not the place for this discussion.

Will you umm... make me a... halloween sig? {{User:Acam30/sig}} 01:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:I can try, but my sig is very simple, just a gradient. All i did was change the colors of it. In truth, i'm pretty bad at sig-making.

== Talkheader ==

Hey, I've created a new template at [[Template:Talkheader]].  I was wondering if you were any good at Wiki code, because I'm having three issues with it.  Once the box is finished, I'd like to customize it to the Homestar Runner Wiki. Also, if this is redundant, let me know.  [[User:Son|Son]] 16:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:Hey there, i'm actually curious what all these templates you're creating are for. We tend not to create templates without extensive discussion. I get the talkheader one, but not the others. (Also, there's better ways to put headers on all pages of a namespace than templates, and such a thing is best left up to the site developers.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for tagging those.  I wholesale copied the Talkheader template from Wikipedia.  In the process, it had these other templates layered in it.  In my tired idiocracy, I tried to build those as well.  It was becoming hopelessly complicated. At that point, I at least moved them into my userspace, though it's probably a lot simpler to just delete those in the first place.  I thought that perhaps a talkheader would be a nice improvement to the site.   I probably should have put in a request some where.  If that's the case, I'll keep that in mind for the future.  [[User:Son|Son]] 16:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, i can tag the remaining ones in your user space for deletion if you want. As for the talk page header, we already have something sort of like it, {{tl|talk}}. It might be worth expanding and seeing if the devs want to have mediawiki automatically add it to the top of every talk page. I certainly would support the idea, your template makes it very clear what talk pages are for, and it might be good to have a short list of talk page rules there. I think i'll bring it up with the devs and get back to you on it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

== tt ==

I looked up what < tt > means...
From [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT#Computing_and_electronics Wikipedia]:
An HTML element for teletype or a monospace font family, e.g. <tt>monospace</tt>.  
I'm guessing it's something that standardizes fonts if people use different skins in their preferences.  

Hope this was of interest to you.  It was to me when I saw you wondered (what I'm sure was probably more rhetorical than less...), so I looked it up.  Thought I'd spread the word!  
[[User:Son|Son]] 18:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I can't tell any change between the post you did and the way MichaelXX2 "fixed" it for you.  Can you explain the difference, just for the sake of someone unfamiliar with wiki syntax? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.140|132.183.140.140]] 23:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
:Sure. when putting "subst:" before a template, it will replace, or SUBSTitute, the template call for the actual code contained therein. For example, if i have a template named "example" that contains "This is a sample template", if i were to write "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" somewhere, then when i go to edit the page, it'll still say "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" in that spot on the edit page. If i wrote "<nowiki>{{subst:example}}</nowiki>" instead, it would instead have "This is a sample template" written. Outwardly, the pages would look identical, only in the code does it matter. I hope that answers your question, cause i don't know how to make it any clearer. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

This is the award.

== Different opinion ==
Yeah, so I thought I made a valuable contribution to the Homestar email toon article, I even went through the legwork of doing the necessary research to make everything authentic. Boy was I cheesed off to see it deleted within seconds! It took me a few days to do the trackdown, and it pointed to you. I was REALLY cheesed off until I went to your home page, and then I saw why you deleted said additions. I thought my contributions were significant. Heck, I never write ANYTHING online without first considering if it will be worthwhile or just internet poop, whether this note be a Facebook note or a blog. But after reading your page on what you think good content is, especially regarding pop culture references, I understood why you removed them. Yes, I will stand by my post. I still think it was important information. But I've had limited exposure to pop culture as a whole, so it's likely that the information I supplied could be found in a hundred places. And you feel that a reference to a concept (a reference that can come from a dozen sources) is unnecessary to mention. I agree. It just hurt to see my first post wiped out in seconds. --[[User:Bauerman24|Bauerman24]] 04:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not entirely sure what edit you're referring to, as you seem to have not made any edits with your account before this one, but i assure you that i meant no offense by reverting. For a long time I've said that we need a mechanism to revert edits while still letting people know that their contributions are welcome, but unfortunately such a thing would be tedious and annoying to do, as we often get anonymous users who make one-time edits that aren't worth keeping. But anyway, would you mind clarifying to which edit you are referring? Whatever it is, i'd be glad to discuss it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I did the edit before I had a real account, so I just showed up as an IP [I KNEW you were going to look! haha]. The address WAS [[97.89.178.220]]. Probably the last one, but I don't know how to link to the history page or anything. I'm still new to this whole "edit-a-wiki" thing.

Like I said, I read why you remove posts like mine [even though I didn't know I was referring to common phenomena at the time]. I can't stand wasteful or poorly-written posts. I've edited a fair share of run-on sentence posts. So, thank you for keeping your wiki cleaned up and informative. These things can get bloated with junk fast.

Thanks for being understanding about it. I don't expect to see my work back up. In fact, I'd prefer it stay down, in the interest of an accurate, more concise wiki. Again, thanks for understanding and reading my concerns. I only hope that I can contribute some useful information to this wiki in the future. --[[User:Bauerman24|Bauerman24]] 04:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

::::Think of this another way. All the articles are written from the perspective of the html file, not the flash file. If something odd occurs "behind the black", it will not be visible when the html file is viewed and is therefore not a goof. Simply put, there's no reason whatsoever for the TBC to animate things that won't be seen in the html file anyway. So to avoid creating extra pointless work for themselves, they take shortcuts, like not bothering to put Strong Mad's mouth or Strong Bad's legs in.

Trying to avoid confusion by removing something you yourself said in error is probably okay, if it's caught fast enough (and I think eight minutes is fast enough). On the other hand, the comments are benign enough that it's also probably okay for your comment and DeFender's reply to stand as they are (with nothing being struck out).

In your edit summary, you said, "yeah, we tend to specifically NOT bypass redirects with pipes for several reasons." What does this mean? like, what is a pipe? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
:"|" is a pipe. in wiki terms "pipe" is short for "piped link". a piped link is a link in the form "<nowiki>[[link|link text]]</nowiki>". We generally prefer linking to redirects where they exist over piping to avoid them for a variety of reasons. Hope that helps. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:25, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
::that makes sense, but i still don't know any of the reasons haha. i mean, i can think of one: in case a page is fairly long, doing that would help somewhat with the byte count, but that's the only thing i can think of. i hate to make you try to tell me a long list, but maybe a few others? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:31, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Byte count shmyte count... roughly 50,000+12=roughly 50,000. That's not the issue. There was a [[HRWiki talk:Standards#(Don't Fear) The Redirect|discussion]] on it some time back. The biggest reason is if there's a link to something that redirects to a section on a larger page, but could be made its own page eventually, the link wouldn't need to be changed, the redirect would just be made into a full page and viola, now your page links where it's supposed to. (That doesn't really apply to "X" vs. "The X" but meh.) Other reasons include that it looks better in the page source without the pipe, and that if people click on a link to one thing, it makes sense to have a little notice at the top saying why they got another. (Also doesn't REALLY apply in the case of "X" vs. "The X", but i'm a stickler for consistency.) That said, it probably doesn't matter SO much in this case, and wasn't really worth the extra couple of edits either way, but like i said, i like consistency. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Did you see my edit summary? i was running out of room, so [[other days|i had to abbreve everything]]. it should have said: <i>"yes i saw that afterwards and decided not to revert myself b/c the remark seems to suggest otherwise as it is. the explanation is thorough, but since there's only one shirt subject tbc didn't invent, and because the remark suggests the shirts would be clear, i think it should be in both places."</i> i know we typically don't put information in two different places on the same page, and i could understand if there was just the one asterisk instead of two, but as it stands, the remark suggests that everything is unblurred when that is just not the case. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:From the "Button Effects" section:
:*'''[[Store]]''' — Glasses are placed on the viewer, allowing for better vision. Homestar's shirts are still blurred.
:Hence, there is no reason to add it to the remark. Further, the remark says you can watch the OTHER animations unblurred.

I see you edited my question on recent changes talk page. I specifically said in the summary that no one should replace the question because I saw seven other people saying and asking the same thing. I just wanted to save some space. Thanks! {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 18:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
:That's fine. Proper procedure is still to make a new section for new questions, and not to remove old ones. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
