Talk Page

How can I get to other people's Talk pages?Jared 18:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

go to another user's page and then while on their page click the discussion link at the top of the page Reddo 18:30, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Reddo. Jared 19:10, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Picture

Is there a way to show a picture? Jared 21:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jared! I'm glad you've joined AIOWiki. It depends on what you mean by "display a picture". If you mean that you want to upload a picture to the wiki than here is what you need to do:

click on "Upload file" in the "Toolbox" on the left hand side of your screen. Once the page for uploading files is loaded, click the "browse" button on the lower part of the page. Then search through the pictures on your computer and click the one you want to load. Then click the "Upload" button on the wiki page.

If you mean that you want to display a picture that is already uploaded, this is what you do:

[[Image:Filename.fileformat(png, jpg, etc.)|thumb|file size|Image caption]]

For exapmle, I want to feature a picture of Eugene. Here is what I put on the page.

[[Image:Eugenemeltsner.png|thumb|50px|This is Eugene]]

Here is how the picture will appear:

This is Eugene

Make sense? MarvelousMarvin 05:22, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you MarvelousMarvin it finally makes sense Jared 22:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Popup

I have another question (sorry for all the questions). When I hover over something, with my mouse, that has a link to it, a popup will appear showing what the link is about. Is there any way to close it, because sometimes it blocks what I am looking at, and only way I can close it is by going to another page and coming back. Jared 21:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Try turning off "Navigation popups" in Special:Preferences. Erwin Springer [talk] 01:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Erwin Springer now I'm not having that problem anymore. Jared 17:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Audio

Is there anyway to put an audio file up in Here? Thomas 03:07, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

To upload an audio file, use the same page that you used to upload a picture.

To make the file appear on the page you put this:

{{mp3|name of file.mp3}}

For example, if you enter this text:

{{mp3|52-ClocktowerClip.mp3}}

This will appear:

Make sense? MarvelousMarvin 13:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok now it make sense. Thanks

Jared 20:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Username

Is there any way to change your Username?

yes I can do it for you, what would you like it changed too? Reddo 04:50, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I would like to change it to Jared DeWhite, or if you can only have one word then just Jared. Thank you! Thomas 14:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

done, also can you please link to your talk page in your signature? Reddo 15:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Great thank you, and also I linked my signature to my talk page Jared 18:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Count Down

Is there a way to set up a time Count down? I know that they do it on the home page and a few other places, but I did not know if anyone could do it or if only a few people has that capability. Jared 19:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I think you're looking for something like this

{{countdown|December 25 2010}}

it generates December 25 2010 if you want to just have the days use

{{countdown days|December 25 2010}}

let me know if there's anything else Reddo 20:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Jared 21:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

polls

make sure that you use a new id when making a poll, don't just use the same id over again, it messes things up Reddo 23:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Done, I have moved it. Jared 03:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

you didn't have to move it or anything, just in the code for the poll there's a sections that's something like id="November_2010" don't use that over again, I changed it to id="Jareds_poll_1" for your current poll Reddo 03:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok now I understand. thanks Reddo.Jared 05:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

How do I know if anyone has voted? Jared 05:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Special:PollResults Reddo 05:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I clicked on it and it just said "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators". does that mean only Administrators can see how many has voted? Jared 16:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

okay, I guess you can't see it, so far 2 people have voted on your poll with both voting for 132 Reddo 16:37, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Great Thanks. Jared 16:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Sub-pages

just like any other page go to something like User:Jared DeWhite/subpage1 and make your page Reddo 18:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Reddo. Jared 18:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

poll

Hello Jared DeWhite! I'm Aria. I hope you don't mind that I used your poll on my page. I added two more episodes: TC6: Stepping Stones, Part 1 and TC7: Stepping Stones, Part 2. Maybe you would like to add them to your poll. Out of interest, what is your favorite Thanksgiving episode? Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that’s great that you are doing a poll. Mine it almost over, but I'll remember Stepping Stones, Part 1 and 2 for next year. here is a tip, I wanted a lot of people to vote, so on the Odyssey Scoop, comment area I announced it. So you might want to do the same. You asked me what my favorite episode is, I would have to say "Thank You, God". By the way How do you make it put a bible verse by your name?

One other thing, you have to get an administrator, like Reddo, to tell you where your poll it at. You can get to it yourself.

Thanks Jared! Oh, I might take your advice about that Odyssey Scoop thing. Thanks. For a Bible verse, could you please ask Reddo or Nate or Erwin? I'm sorry, but I don't know how to explain it! :-\ I don't know how to explain anything in computer code! :-) Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

P.S. My fav Thanksgiving episode is #49: “Thank You, God” too!

Thanks American Eagle!Jared 02:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of. Based on the percentages, I'd guess 12 votes. American Eagle talk 05:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

it was 24 and please refrain from mass posting on admins talk pages, a single note in the town hall is suffice Reddo 06:22, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Great thank you, and sorry about the mass posting on the admins talk pages. Next time I was post it on the town hall.Jared 14:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Poll ideas

How about "What do you think of the cover of Album 53?" WikiFan 16:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Maybe you could have a poll about whether or not Eugene and Katrina should have a baby?

poll reply

yeah, because there weren't many votes, I decided to start over fresh for 2011. Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

sig reply

I don't know how either! I just put {{User:Aria/sig}} and then ~~~~~ Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 16:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Jared, you just put in {{User:Jared DeWhite/sig}} , not [[{{User:Jared DeWhite/sig}}]] Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 18:20, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh! I think I know what is going on! You are putting {{User:Jared DeWhite/sig}} in the signature thing under your preferences, right? I don't know how that works, Nate, Reddo, Erwin all tried to explain, but I'm to dumb to understand! Lol! So, after I finish typing something, I don't click the "signature" button, I just write {{User:Aria/sig}} . That makes this: Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 18:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry for not understanding you, Jared! I've had a really bad day and it's late, I'm really sorry. :-( :-( *feel awful*

Album 53

By the way, Album 53 is being released in March, I guess they changed it.--WikiFan (talk) (contributions) 22:13, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Re:Poll results

I did the thing Reddo did with your 9th poll, except I showed a preview. --WikiFan (talk) (contributions) 21:03, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

You have to replace

<qpoll id=poll id>

with

<qpoll id=poll id showresults="2;color:blue;background:yellow;textcolor:#0000FF;">

--WikiFan (talk) (contributions) 21:13, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

You can also see what your questions for the poll were by using the "history" tab next to the "edit" tab on your poll page.--WikiFan (talk) (contributions) 21:13, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Spam Blocking

Hey Jared, I am glad that you are trying to block those that are putting on spam. 2 things: I am almost positive that it is the same person doing all of it. 2nd: This person is obviously getting around your "blocks" by creating new user accounts. By putting block notices on their page does not block them. You actually have to block them. There is no evidence in the recent changes that you did so. And when you block them, make sure that the option disable user creation so that if this person is using the same IP address, he can not get on anymore. Personally, I think that this person should be blocked indefinetly. (All of this is assuming you are an admin. You are one, right?) AIOCREFan 16:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

If there is an option (and I don't know since I am not an admin), just delete the user, the user talk page, and all of the users edits and new pages. I do not know if there is an option that allows you to do that all at one time. AIOCREFan 16:20, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I am not an Admin, I know there are some stuff you can only do if you are a admin like I don't know if I could delete a page, But when you said "By putting block notices on their page does not block them. You actually have to block them". then how do you block them? Jared DeWhite 16:26, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

You have to be an admin. I e-mailed Reddo, and I am sure that he will get here as quick as possible. He was not online when I e-mailed him, so we can only hope that he (or another admin) gets here soon. AIOCREFan 16:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah this is obviously some wierdo who really wants to ruin this website, (btw i'm glad that you are an admin now Jared), but all i know is that this situation is really bad. maybe someone could block this persons ip address permanently so they could not keep re-creating there accounts. hope we figure it out soon. AIOkid - Mark 11:22-24 22:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I thought that when you block someone, there was that option. I don't know if someone forgot to do so when they were blocking the users or what. I haven't had the opportunity to block someone yet, so I don't know what comes up. AIOCREFan 22:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I just checked and blocking their IP address is automatic when you block them. Since it hasn't been bad since Reddo blocked them, I'd say we (for the time being at least) have gotten rid of this person. Why someone would try to do such a thing is beyond me. AIOCREFan 22:25, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

yeah it's certainly slowed them down having a captcha and bocking the ip address, but we should still watch they seem very persistent about spamming us, i guess that's one bad side effect of getting more popular (we're up to over 120 000 page views a month now) I'll keep looking for ways to stop this but it seems the only way might be to just keep blocking them and pray about it. Hopefully things don't get bad while i'm gone this weekend Reddo 22:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I just had to delete a page and an account hopefully they will stop trying to spam us. It seems like the only way for some people to have fun is to mess up anther's person's stuff. Jared DeWhite (talk) 23:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if AIOWiki being mentioned on the official podcast recently had anything to do with it, but I can't believe that any true fan would do such a thing. It may be someone who does not like FOTF. AIOCREFan 16:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

thanks

Thank, Jared. it worked! Oh, by the way, I am leaving AIO wiki, maybe forever. school is getting hard, getting into highschool now, so I have to resign. The computer time I do have needs to go to another wikipedia where I am an admin. so, bye for now! I hope in the summer I can edit, but not promises! By the way, congratulation on your promotion. I was a little jealous at first, but not any more! Why should I be? It's not being Christian or like Jesus! :-) Bye to you and any one else who reads this! I had a great and fun time here! --Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 05:56, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Bye re

Bye Jared, and God bless you too! --Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ~ Aria ~ (talk) 06:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Deleting Spam Pages

In the future, make sure to clear out the "Other/aditional reason" box when deleting a spammed page. It ensures that no bad links are logged on the site. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Great, I have been trying to do that, but I'll keep that in mind. Jared DeWhite (talk) 22:59, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Congrats

Wow all these Congrats makes me feel like I just joined again. Haha! Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 02:03, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, and yes I did see that. Stop Wooton' Around (talk)

O yeah, I kinda forgot. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to add but then I deiced that if someone needed a question answered and they were looking for an admin they might see it. (Although Reddo would probably be a better person to ask.) After being of the wiki for over a 1 year and a half and have 8,500 edits being an admin seems very different to me.Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 04:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, under "Category:Flagged for Deletion", when users want a page, category, or file deleted they put {{delete}} it shows up in Flagged for Deletion. P.S. I don't deleted everything in there I double check what is listed to be deleted and if it's questionable I let more experienced admins take care of it. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 05:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

It's more or less by my judgment if I'm not sure I don't delete it. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 05:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

The file has been moved leaving behind a blank file. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 05:31, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing, any time! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 05:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Spam

Seems to me that it has been a much quieter day in terms of spam. At least so far. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 20:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Uh-oh, two accounts were just created within 3 minuets of each other.

my page

My page is having some problem with my newest survey and my computer won't let me even open my page to fix it. can you fix it? AIOkid - Mark 11:22-24 02:20, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

i put the wrong id in so it messed up and i tried to change the color of it

Thanks. AIOkid - Mark 11:22-24 04:01, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok. Adventures inodysseylego 20:02, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't think so I tried them both and I got the same sites. So I don't think it matters. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 02:29, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Have you downloaded #53 yet? if so where did you download it? AIOkid - Mark 11:22-24 21:24, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that is what i meant. AIOkid - Mark 11:22-24 21:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Why'd you upload a new version of the 54 cover? God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 06:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Signature

Every time I put {{User:WikiFan/sig}} in my signature under my preferences, it automatically changes it to {{SUBST:User:WikiFan/sig}}. How do I get it to stop changing? Is is it suposed to be like that?--WikiFan (talk) (contributions) 23:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
