== 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)

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.

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)

== 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.

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)

: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)

hey i saw that u called urself this on the standards page i just thot i woud tell u that that phrase may be offensive to jews so maybe u should not use it as much anyway have a nice day
:Maybe you should check out his user page. There are plenty of hints for what I'm getting at, but I'd say the second userbox is the best one. (Edit: It's actually been pointed out to me that there's an even better one.) Just a thought. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

== Template help ==

I decided, since I'm in a little bit of a template issue, that I may as well take you up on your offer. After all, you've [[User:DeFender1031/sig|obviously]] shown us that you are an expert with MediaWiki markup and especially ParserFunctions. I'm trying to import a [[Wikipedia:Template:User wiki lang-2| MediaWiki language userbox]] (how ironic), and I'm trying to make the font size the same (11pt). However, using a <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code> element in the <code>code</code> parameter to down the font size didn't work. There is no pipe in the parameter, and I even entity'd the curly brackets (the user box code is "<nowiki>{{Wiki}}</nowiki>"). Is it the equals sign for the style attribute? Will I need to work out some ParserFunctions in the [[Template:userbox|userbox]] template as to fix the problem and specify a font size? Or am I just missing/forgetting something?

Here's my code:<br />
<code><nowiki>
{{userbox|border=#999999|mainbkgd=#FFFFFF|codebkgd=#CCCCCC|code=[[Main Page|<span style="font-size:11pt !important;">&#x7b;&#x7b;Wiki&#x7d;&#x7d;</span>]]|msg=This user is an '''intermediate''' writer in the MediaWiki language.}}
</nowiki></code> {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 17:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
{|
{{userbox|border=#999999|mainbkgd=#FFFFFF|codebkgd=#CCCCCC|code=[[Main Page|<span style="font-size:11pt !important;">&#x7b;&#x7b;Wiki&#x7d;&#x7d;</span>]]|msg=This user is an '''intermediate''' writer in the MediaWiki language.}}

Your code looks fine to me. Is there some problem i'm missing? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

|}
::This is the same userbox with the font in 11, 20, and 50, respectively. Seem like it's working right. Perhaps you want to pick a smaller font size than 11? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I just realized the font size is actually 9pts. Oops. And, also, bolding the text...

:::That still doesn't look right. I think I'll mess around with this in the sandbox after taking a look at Wikipedia's userbox template and ours, and come back from eating some pizza. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Aside from the link on "intermediate" and the bold and link on "MediaWiki", it looks exactly the same to me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah. I think I'll just leave it alone for now and go with what I have (though you can barely read it, since I wanted it to fit in 45 pixels!). I have another question. I would like to put a ParserFunction into my signature that'll get rid of the link to my talk page if someone's on my talk pages (well, what will become pages in 2010). Similar to your signature and how "Talk" is replaced by "Me". This is the code I'm trying:

<code>
<nowiki>
{{#ifexpr: {{BASEPAGENAME}}="SoiledBargains" and {{ns:User talk}}||[[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]<nowiki>|</nowiki>}}
</nowiki>
</code>

I'm getting the error, <span style="color:red;">'''Expression error: Unrecognised word "soiled"'''</span>. And I'm not too sure if I'm using the right magic word for this. What advice do you have? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 16:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:That's cause you want <nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|User talk:Soiled Bargains|[[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|}}</nowiki> {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::But, that's the thing. I'd like for it to (if possible) effect any talk archives that I will have as well. Would it be best just to make it a <code><nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki></code> ParserFunction? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 20:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== Invisicble ==

Why is it policy to make the sic's inviso?  Isn't it useful for the reader to be able to see 'em?  (Not disputing it, just asking in general) -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.122|132.183.151.122]] 19:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not sure it's POLICY, but it's what we generally do in transcripts and direct representations of content, as it's less intrusive if it's invisible in those places. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::Not meaning to come down one way or the other on this matter myself, but I do want to note there was a fairly lengthy debate on this very matter a few years ago in the [[HRWiki talk:Manual of Style#Sic|talk page to the Manual of Style]].  While it doesn't seem clear that any consensus was really arrived at, the wording in the [[HRWiki:Manual of Style#Spelling|Manual of Style]], as it currently stands, seems to suggest visibility (at least, it does recommend adding the "[''sic'']", and doesn't say anything about making it invisible).

I'm not the one who started the discussion, but I thought it was worth pursuing... but I see your point that this wasn't the place for it.  Would it have been better had I brought the discussion to the [[Talk:dictionary|dictionary Talk page]], since that's presumably the article the original poster was referring to?  Or should I have just stayed out of it entirely?

:::::Ah, i see you misunderstood. Asking me about the edit here on my talk page was fine. Continuing the discussion and bringing the extra background information and topic history is also fine. Suggesting that this discussion be revitalized is fine too. In fact, there was nothing that was not fine. All i meant was that if we do reopen the matter, this isn't the place for it.

== Bandwith Issue? ==

Why is it that your user page always slows my computer down? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
:Probably the super-awesome ascii art. That's a lot of information in a very small visual area... I know any time i scroll by it, it slows down for me as well. It's possible that your browser renders the entire page at once rather than just the section you're viewing, in which case, you probably have the whole page loaded, but it hasn't become visible yet, as the ascii-art takes a while to process given its complexity. Unless it's affecting other programs, don't worry too much about it. If it IS affecting other programs, please let me know, so i can remove it.

Can you help me at all? I mean, i get that it would be easier to just put it in and take it out whenever necessary, but since it'd be the same thing every year, it seems marginally unnecessary to add it in each time when i might be able to get it to do that automatically. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 06:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I know this discussion occurred so long ago, and I should probably forget about it (especially since two sysops agreed with me about the poems not being real [{{p|l={{FULLURL:Made-up Real Things|diff=prev&oldid=694454}} link}}, [[Talk:Made-up Real Things#And how exactly is Strong Sad's book real?|link]], [[Talk:Made-up Real Things#Onion Bubs|link?]]]), but maybe the sight of Onion Bubs in the Featured Article box made me think of this. My inability to simply forget this might also have to do with the fact that before "Doomy Tales of the Macabre", I tried to edit Onion Bubs' entry down to the time he appeared in Strong Bad's imagination and the first time he appeared in h*r reality [{{p|l={{FULLURL:Made-up Real Things|diff=prev&oldid=683928}} link}}], but then you reverted it and said I did a "stupid" thing by shortening the entry like that without explicitly saying why I considered the rest of the appearances fluff.  You didn't even give a good reason for article listing all of Onion Bubs' post-becoming real appearances, you just said, "shortening it on principal is stupid" [{{p|l={{FULLURL:Made-up Real Things|diff=prev&oldid=683929}} link}}]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 01:31, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
:::*I added links to all the points above. Links are proper context. Copying and pasting edit summaries (which Google doesn't index, by the way; I had to search the database directly) is not proper context.
:::*A sysop's word carries no more weight than a regular user's with regard to matters of content. The arguments, not the person, are what make the difference.
:::*Any substantive discussion on this subject should be on [[Talk:Made-up Real Things]].
:::*DeFender: You meant "principle".

::::The discussion about Onion Bubs was resolved quite a long time ago, but I still feel kind of down that DeFender said I did something stupid even though I thought I had perfectly good reasons for doing it. (Granted, it would probably have helped if I said my reasons, but I thought people would get them either way.) {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::Dot Com, yes, I did mean "principle". Thanks for catching that after TWO YEARS.
:::::BBG:
:::::#I wasn't calling you stupid. I was calling the principle of keeping entries on pages the same length, when there's more to be said about one and less to be said about another.
:::::#If you have reasons for an edit that are good reasons, don't give stupid ones and expect that "people will get them either way". They won't. Say what you mean.
:::::#I STILL am of the opinion that Doomy Tales was a real thing that happened that Halloween (people die and come back all the time in cartoons... Homestar didn't stay trapped for eternity, did he?) but I'm not going to harp on about it all this time later.
:::::#The most recent of those edits of mine you refer to was on the 17th of February, 2010. If after a year and eight months you're still "kinda down" about an edit that someone made on a wiki about a cartoon about dumb animal characters, I'm not certified to help you.

::::::Well actually, I don't remember feeling down about it this year until I decided to re-check who made a certain edit about Stinkoman in that page, so I guess we wouldn't be having this discussion if I hadn't bothered to return to this site.  I don't even remember why I did so anymore.  I don't know if what I did still needs explaining now that it got brought up again, but I really didn't see any need to say anything else about Onion Bubs.  Strong Bad made up a story about an onion with Bubs' face drawn on it becoming the new owner of the Concession Stand, then eventually he found a real onion with Bubs' face buried in Marzipan's garden.  I thought it seemed like enough evidence that he became real. 
::::::I'd like to let you resume your usual Wiki business now, unless you still have something to say about how that ''doesn't'' sound like enough (but then we'll have to go to another talk page). {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 13:31, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::::By the way, my reasons for regretting my return don't have as much to do with my stupid desire to question an old edit I otherwise forgot about as much as it does the fact I have more important things to do. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 14:10, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, did you ever get around to playing it? If you say "yes", (raising right hand) I promise not to ask if it affected your opinion on moldy old debates, nor will I call your opinion stupid if it differs from the ones I had back in 2008. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:30, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
:But if you say "no", he will definitely call your opinion stupid, especially if it differs from the ones BBG had back in 2008. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.4.6|132.183.4.6]] 20:58, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

== Potential Article ==

None of the mods have read [[User:Bad Bad Guy/Awesome]] yet, so could I please ask your opinion on how to improve it? (It's not an archived version of the deleted article; I started it over from scratch.) I would especially like answers to the questions asked in the section, "As Part of An Original Word". {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:17, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
:IMO, combining gags that don't fit into miscellaneous would be a good idea. Otherwise, it looks like a decent article. I'd keep the uses of part of another word as is, since it's done quite a lot, it seems to be a running joke, despite having had prior, non-HR use. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:46, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
