Editing Problems
The "Edit Button" on a page I'm creating has gome away but I want to add more. What do I do?
- There should be an edit tab at the tippy-top of the page regardless of there not being an [edit] button. Hope this helps. —BazookaJoe 04:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Email Tryouts: Pass or Fail?
How do I know if I officially passed of failed. I just got a reply that said Pa-pa-pa-pass. Is this an official pass or just an opinion?
- ...Are we talking about the email tryouts on Fanstuff? If so, here is not the place. You should bring it up on the Email tryouts talk page. Bluebry 00:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
UTC
What does (UTC) mean?
How can you tell?
I was wondering, how can you tell if people are sysops?
"Reverted edit N by User (Talk) (reason)"
I see this particular message all the time in edit histories, usually when someone reverts vandalism. However, unless I type it out manually and go to find the edit number myself, I never seem to get that message when I go to revert. Is that message the result of some sysop-only feature? Or is it a button or automatic function I've somehow missed? Just curious. —

- That's the "undo revision" feature, new in MediaWiki 1.9. -- Tom 21:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Really? I've seen messages in that format a lot longer than MediaWiki 1.9 has been around. Odd... —

- You may be remembering the rollback feature, which has been available to sysops for a while and leaves a similar message, but the undo function just came out and is available to all users.

- Ah, I see. That explains it - thanks. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 22:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

UB question
can you create your own Userboxes? If so do the pictures you put in them automaticly format so they are small?Foogs 14:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, you can create your own userboxes, provided that they are Homestar Runner-related. Images are not automatically formatted, but you can do it by specifying the the width of the image like so:
[[Image:FILENAME|41px]](the number of pixels might need to be tweaked depending on the height of the image. Hope that helps,Trey56 14:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help i just made one. is it allowed to put it on the UB page?Foogs 14:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sure — if you think other people would be interested in using it, go ahead and add it to HRWiki:Userbox. Trey56 17:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Are you allowed to have images on your page?
Are you allowed to have images on your userpage here? Because some other wikis don't allow that unless they're personal images. I think it would be a good idea to ask first.

- Sure, go right ahead! You can use pretty much any image you want, even another user's personal image. Speaking of personal images, you are only allowed to have two of them. See our personal image policy for more info. — Has Matt? (talk) 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Why is my comment getting "STUFFED"?
I tried twice to add an entry under "Real-World References," but my comment was immediately deleted. I actually wasn't the only one; someone else tried to add a similar comment and couldn't. Any idea why? — Maristredfox (Talk | contribs) 13:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC) (left unsigned)
- It's because we have to vote on it before it can get put up. But, it will probably be accepted. TheThingé 13:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually, we have already voted on that one. It was overwhemingly declined.— It's dot com 15:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)- It's been temporarily reinstated to allow you to participate, and your vote has been recorded. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. — It's dot com 17:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Why don't we have a commons?
You know, like the Wikipedia one. Homsar44withpie 16:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- We don't need one. -- Tom 16:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
forum troubles
i tried to find an admin to ask this through the forums but could not find a way to contact, besides through the wiki.
anyway, i have been trying to access my account for a while now (on the forums) and every time i log in it tells me that it is inactive, i am not sure what that means besides the fact that I cannot log into my account. if anyone has the knowledge of what i could do, or has the power to fix it, that would be grand.
my username is coopoo18 coopoo18@gmail.com
Userboxes
how do I make user boxes?
