From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 12:59, 24 November 2004

Welcome to JoeyDay's Comment page

This is not the general help desk of the Wiki. If you need help, go to the HelpDesk, or visit the forum and use the !HelpDesk there. Don't be suprised if I'm not the first one to answer your question. There are many knowledgable people who spend more time here than I do. They are usually quick to help others, and they know what they're talking about, so you can usually trust their answers. If you absolutely need an answer from me, or if you have comments, feel free to leave them below.

If you leave a comment/question here and it dissappears, look for it in the FAQ or the talk page for the FAQ.

Fanstuff

I'd like a promise to agree to let me bring back the fanstuff. It doesn't make the wiki complete without it.--No Loafing 16:32, 30 Sep 2004 (MST)

Let me mull this over with the other admins. There are a lot of options on the table. One option we don't want to entertain is to have fanstuff in the mix with the rest of the wiki. We'd like the wiki to be simply a knowledge-base of actual Homestar Runner knowledge. We've tossed around the idea of having a second wiki for fanstuff. Until we decide something, the best thing you can do is get a free site from Geocities, Tripod, or Angelfire and post a link to it from your User space. --JoeyDay 16:57, 30 Sep 2004 (MST)

Just let me put HRWiki:Fanstuff on the main page. Too late. Now I did it. Do not say this is trolling.--No Loafing 18:39, 30 Sep 2004 (MST)

Firefox

I agree with you all the way with Firefox. Once I tried it, I never use Internet Explorer anymore. It's great. Thanks for leading me to Firefox. -- FireBird

You're very welcome, FireBird. I'm just glad to see another internet user happy with his browsing experience. --JoeyDay 09:47, 6 Oct 2004 (MST)

Come to think of it, im happy too.--24.117.185.111 13:52, 24 Oct 2004 (MST) (PS subpages work on mediawiki)

We are aware that subpages work (and have been since installing MediaWiki). A mutual decision was made by the admins to disallow them. If you have questions, feel free to send me an email. --JoeyDay 10:40, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

I too have switched to Firefox after coming here, and couldn't be happier. Thanks. --Thunderbird 20:03, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

A better way

I've noticed y'all linking to other Mediawiki links by using URL's. But you don't need to do that. Do this instead: [[Wiki's name | That wiki's article]] Do that instead of using the URL link next time! - No Loafing (PS i didnt link my name because those buttons aren't up. Could you put them back?) (PPS I am still on the wiki by surprise)

Thanks for the tip. That's a good idea. I'm not sure why no one noticed that yet. And thanks for hanging out on the wiki. I'm not sure why the buttons weren't displaying for you. They are still up. I never use the button though. You can insert the signature by tying four tilde's (~) in a row. --JoeyDay 11:25, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

Respond

I understand. I wasn't offended. I didn't know at first, and you are correct. I was one of the users on the old wiki. Thanks for reminding me. Happy 17:47, 19 Nov 2004 (EST)

Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks for noticing that I'm new to the wiki. I've contributed quite a bit, and I'm glad to see people here are so friendly. --oddtodd 22:22, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

We really are glad to have you aboard. Looks like you've already offered some great ideas for our wiki moving forward with standards, etc. Keep up the good work! --JoeyDay 13:18, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

Riddle

Here's a riddle for ya: Q. What has homestar runner information, a connection with the fans, immediate updates, and a democratic style?

A. This wiki

Or maybe you should give this up. It's really (really) starting to get annoying, Lunar Jesteres. If you want it that bad (to say that JoeyDay isn't an awesome admin. Pfffhht!), create your own wiki. Dedicated for all you fans who desperatly need fanstuff that they would be willing to insult these great admins. All us users have the right to edit just about everything. Yeah, that's a monarchy, all right. Sheesh. -- FireBird|_Talk

Banned Words

I was wondering... Have you ever tried to edit the PHP code on this site to check for certain words and not allow a change if those words are found? I think this type of code could really help the mods. -Your Fuzzy God

Don't forget, if your question magically dissappeared, look for it in the FAQ or the talk page for the FAQ.
