Where did you get all the Gary Loche pictures?

They're just the album covers that he designed. Erwin Springer 19:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

[User:Erwin Springer/Test] Template:Infobox Albums

Signature

I'm sorry if you think that I "took" your signature. I'll customize my own soon, I've just been too lazy to do it. Here: God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk ... (How's that?)

Place Infobox

First of all; I am an administrator, but I think that you had Mark in mind when you said that. Second of all, I already started making the changes... so I would say yes. NateDude24

SORRY! Erwin Springer 15:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

There's a list here Erwin Springer 15:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't mind at all. That's fine. There's no need to be sorry. NateDude24

template:line

there already is a template for this it's {{!}} Reddo 01:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

also unfortuantly templates, magic words and things don't work in between the <pagesidebar> tags

I made the changes you wanted to the season template, just leave prev or next blank (or leave them out all together) and it will display the correct line, also I'm not sure if you know this but for classifying episodes into types (like retrospective, mystery, history ect.) there is another option in the infobox called genre, Reddo 03:24, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

User sub-pages

How do you make user sub pages? Erwin Springer 19:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

just put a / after the page name, followed by the name of the sub-page, eg: [User:reddo/testing], it only works for talk pages and user pages, but if it is needed on other namespaces I can make the changes needed to the server Reddo 19:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

multiple albums

I added the ability to have more multiple albums, I didn't think that any episode would have more than 3 albums, I also changed the way that they work so now it should be the same as first album with the album number, the page you requested to be deleted has also been taken care of Reddo 15:15, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

replys

just to let you know I think that I answered/commentated on everything that you've left on my talk page and in the town hall, over the past few days. Sorry it took so long, I should have done it sooner I've just had a lot on my mind lately Reddo 16:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Thanks. Erwin Springer [talk] 01:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

character intersection reply

Yes, it is a new version of character intersection that should end up being a lot more user friendly than the first on that I created. I think that it's working fairly well now, however I would like to do some more testing and try to add a detail level and add the option to search for more characters, before I announce anything about it, in the meantime your welcome to play around with it. let me know it you have any suggestions Reddo 21:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

revert

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what the purpose of having that in the infobox. It appeared that it was just a link to the talk page and to edit, which is at the top every page anyways. I'm not sure how that helps make it easier to refer to infoboxes. So it may be a good idea and I just don't understand it. Spiderman 01:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

How is that different from the edit button on the top of the page? The infobox template will already be applied to the page when an editor makes a change. I don't really see the point of adding the links to the infobox when they're already standard at the top of each page. You can bring this up on the Town Hall if you feel it should be added and see what other people say. Spiderman 01:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

updateing charater pages

Just a small thing but when your changing the character pages to the new format could you add {{-}} right before the episodes section? otherwise on some of the character pages that only have a very short description the episodes box overlaps with the infobox Reddo 19:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Redirect Pages

How do you make redirect pages for a character? For example, on the Dental Dilemma page there is a page for Frank Graves but not one for Dr. Graves AIOCREFan 20:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that does help. AIOCREFan 22:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Episode Project

One of the tasks listed on the Episode project is to split up "notes" into "Goofs" and "Trivia" sections. I checked the discussion on the project page, and it didn't appear that goal had been rescinded. But I noticed that a number of episodes still have just a "notes" section, and the New_Episode template still has just the "notes" section. I can help with these, but I wanted to make sure that was still a goal the project is pursuing. I don't want to be making changes that someone's just going to reverse later . . .

Episodes Needing Characters

Thanks for the tip about the Episodes needing characters. I attempted to convert the first one on the list, The Adventure of the Adventure, and I added all of the missing actor information. I had a little problem when I tried to put all 30 in the same list, but when finally figured out what I did wrong and tried to save my fix, I found you had apparently already fixed the problem. I left the category on it for now; I wasn't sure if there would be someone reviewing the work before the labels are removed or not.

Gundark 23:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Copyright Notice

When editing pages, there is a notice that reads "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see Adventures_in_Odyssey_Wiki:Copyrights for details)." The link in the parentheses leads to a page that has been locked, and deleted multiple times. Is there a way to change the link to point to a page with the correct Copyright notice information? I don't want to change it, I'd just like to see the site policy. Given the long history of the page, I'm assuming someone has tried to change the link at some point, but I thought I'd ask. (P.S. -- is there some other way I should contact you? Or some other place I should post these questions?)

Thanks, Gundark 23:58, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Template change?

I just saw your changes here: http://www.aiowiki.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_cast_doc -- is that what caused the 30 character list to start working?

Gundark 00:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

schedule

Okay, you can continue creating schedule pages, we're going to go with the idea of linking them from in the schedule namespace page (ie. schedule:2001-11-12 would be [[The Curse]] instead of The Curse), if you find that it's quicker to just put in the episode and not do the linking I can do the linking with Reddobot, Reddo 08:21, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

dpl sub pages

just wondering what your trying to do, i can probably help you out getting it to work Reddo 02:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

DELETE

If you want to mark a page for deletion in the future just add {{Delete}} to the page so it gets marked in the deletion category and someone will delete it. It makes it easier than just typing delete on the page. thanks Spiderman 01:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Help would be accepted

Erwin could you help me with The Imagination Station Revisited ,Parts 1 and 2. I can't open the audio file on my PC.

Userbox

How do you create a userbox? AIOCREFan 23:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: BTV: Live

So you asked Mark if he had somehow heard the episode, BTV: Live. I don't know why you asked him this, but for whatever reason that gave you a clue as to how he'd heard it, I believe I have the answer. This is the episode that the cast preformed live at the live show this last summer. If Reddo was there, than that would be the reason that he knew it's plot and what not. I apologize if you feel like I was ease dropping and butting into your conversation. God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk

Well...I think I read that he didn't go to the live show, and he had very dtailed cast and crew information for the episode. Erwin Springer [talk] 12:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: A Few things...

Thanks for the tips! I didn't even know that there were specific ways of doing those things, but I apologize anyway. I've been working on completing the character list and I feel bad that you have to go back and sweep up the places that I missed, so thanks! God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk

8000+

Not that I don't believe you, but how do you know that you have made over 8000 edits? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk

Go to Special:Preferences and is says by "Number of edits". Erwin Springer [talk] 21:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Erwin? Do you follow the Unofficial AIO Podcast? And, if so, did you see the April Fool's joke that Boswell played on everyone? If not, click here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meyouthemus (talk • contribs)

Invitation

Hi Erwin, I would like you to help me with my WIKI, will you please become a member, because I would like some help importing some Userboxes, Templates, and that sort of stuff Oh and how do you make a User into a Admin? Please Respond SOON, And in My Talk Page please. Here is the link to my WIKI: http://pawsandtails.yourwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page

--Trimmaio 20:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Episodes

So how do you make the episodes appear on a page? Specifically here. God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk

Darein's Rise

So you changed it back so that the Darien's Rise page was the page used for the book. I figure that since there are two "Darien's Rise" pages (album & Darien's Rise (book)) than we should have them like they are currently. God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
