User talk:GrapeNuts

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 22:16, 25 March 2006

Welcome to GrapeNuts' talk page.

Proposed Projects

Bold Colon

• ''': → :''' (except on Glossary). — It's dot com 22:50, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Hand-fixed by me, with a clever use of the search thingy and CTRL+F. It was kinda fun. --DorianGray

User page → User space

• HRWiki:User page → HRWiki:User space — It's dot com 16:17, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Strongbadia → Strong Badia

• Per this discussion, Strongbadia should usually be spelt as two words. --DorianGray

But note that monument is an exception. —AbdiViklas 06:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

monument is not an exception. - Super Sam 12:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I did a find and replace in the main namespace but didn't actually find any instances of "Strongbadia" that weren't either direct quotes (e.g. "Does Strongbadia have a space program?") or references to Strongbadia National Anthem, so that was all good. Since we don't like redirects, I also fixed the 28 links to "Strongbadia", many of which were outside the main namespace. No unlinked references to "Strongbadia" have been altered in places outside the main namespace. I figure nobody cares if people call it Strongbadia in their own talk or user pages, so long as they aren't linking to a redirect. — Joey (talk·edits) 18:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

strongbad email.exe → strongbad_email.exe

Click here for a list of pages that need to be fixed (current at 07:05, 18 March 2006 (UTC)). Note: Do not fix this page. — It's dot com

The difference is the missing underscore. Even though [[strongbad email.exe]] and [[strongbad_email.exe]] both point to the same place, in the body of an article, the former get rendered with a space and the latter with the correct underscore. (This is more noticeable if one doesn't automatically underline links.) — It's dot com 21:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I think I get the difference, but what I don't get is your list. Some of the pages on your list don't even point to strongbad_email.exe, or if they do they simply use "DVD" instead of writing out the name. Where did you get this list? Do I have to use your list? GrapeNuts has his own ways of obtaining lists like this. — Joey (talk·edits) 21:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I just did a search for the text. I'm sure some of them are in piped links or are simple text, but the literal string should be somewhere on each page. — It's dot com 22:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, my sig is fixed

You can check that off the list, Joey. I'm not gonna tough STUFF archives, and I got everything else, so I'd say it 's done. --— User:ACupOfCoffee@ 15:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

See User talk:Tom/Greasemonkey Script for details. -- Tom 01:03, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

What User?

For users without user pages, GrapeNuts could just create a page with nothing but the user's name using {{PAGENAME}}. -AtionSong 21:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps, but why bother? --Jay (Gobble) 21:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Additionally, the red link is an important piece of information, which comes in very useful when patrolling edits. — It's dot com 22:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tags

I don't know how this could avoid all the user-related images uploaded, but perhaps there is a way to get GrapeNuts to put the {{web-screenshot}} tag on images that need it. Perhaps by warning that users should put a different tag or piece of code with non-H*R.com related pictures, that would cause GrapeNuts to pass over them without adding the tag. -AtionSong 15:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

A bot is not smart enough to analyze an image's copyright status. It's too important to leave to a bot, and needs to be done by a human. -- Tom 17:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

One More thing...

Just another idea. SOrry I have so many, but I just want to put them out on the table. Could GN purge the introduction pages whenever they get edited? -AtionSong 01:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

No, this is a manual bot and it doesn't do things automatically. -- Tom 02:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Glitch

Would GrapeNuts be able to fix the extra bar in These peoples try to fade me Visuals? Bluebry 21:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I fixed the table formatting. And for future reference, that wouldn't be the kind of automated task GrapeNuts is capabe of. -- Tom 22:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Good jorb, Tom! So, what would GrapeNuts be able to do? Like, um, find selected words and change them? Bluebry 22:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
