What do you have to say about running an archive of our deleted pages? Some sound interesting and I want to see them. I won't become a sysop anytime soon, so... --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 16:44, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

:All of the pages that were previously deleted obviously don't need to be kept, hence wwhy they were deleted by the [[Special:Listusers/sysop|overlords]] and [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|gods]] of the wiki. It would be too much trouble to bring them all back anyway, and a troll might grab the code and restore the page. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 17:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

someone mark this post as patrolled; visit the store if you have to.  The [[Sbemail's 50 Greatest Hits|post]] might need a clean up, but it's true.  {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 11:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

*This is true.  Someone patrol it; everyone needs to know this!

== Image:Egg.jpg ==

Is it a good idea to make this image transparent so it doesn't look awful on black surfaces? I looked at the thing's user page, and that white box on black is really annoying. I have made a PNG of this, but I don't think it looks that great either. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

==Signature Size==
+

is my signature size fine? Because the coffee cup only extends a few pixels outside the box -_-

::''edit'': you also might be able to crop my screenshot a little bit further, to squeeze your sig down maybe another pixel or so. [[User:LobStoR|LobStoR]] 00:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

:::I made it 18 pixels this time, it should fit better now. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
::::You can leave it 20 pix if you want.  There's a slight inconsistency in how the box shows up, but 20pix is the guideline that the wiki's set, and is fine. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 14:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

== Adopt-A-File? ==
+
-
 
+
-
I noticed there's a HEAVY LOURDE of files on the unusedfiles page. When do these files get deleted, and if they don't, shouldn't we start an Adopt-A-File campaign of some sorts? {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
:No, that's not necessary. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

::So I'm guessing they never get deleted? {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Linking Internal Images to Internal Pages... ==
+
-
 
+
-
How do we do this? <nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|link=http://wikipedia.org]]</nowiki> doesn't work according to MediaWiki forums because we do not have MediaWiki 1.14+. And I can't use imagemap tag on such a small image as my sig image (as it will just be a circle with an i in it) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
:Like this: <code><nowiki><span class="plainlinks">[http://targetlink.com http://www.hrwiki.org/path/to/Example.jpg]</span></nowiki></code> &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::The picture I'm going to link to though is over 500 pixels -_- I doon't think that's small enough to fit in my signature. Plus, you're still linking externallyish using that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
:::Something like <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.google.com http://hrwiki.org/images/thumb/e/ea/CupAJoe.png/18px-CupAJoe.png]</span> ? (Note: what I thought I was doing didn't actually work... but the end result did anyway... I'm not sure if the URL of the 18px version is permanent or a cache thing though, you might want/need to upload a version that is explicitly the size you want). &mdash;[[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 04:16, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::The 18px thumbnail thing is semi-permanent... it won't disappear on its own, but if you upload a new image over that one, then it'll disappear, and you'll have to look at a page with <code><nowiki>[[Image:CupAJoe.png|18px]]</nowiki></code> (either hard-refresh a page that already has it, or add it to a page and show preview, that sort of thing) to get it to re-generate the thumbnail. Best bet is to put that in a <code>&lt;noinclude&gt;</code> section in the sig template itself, just in case. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Thanks, I did that. Now to wait for someone to vandalize the picture and upload a huge or really, really small one-pixel version of the image. :D {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
::::::It's like no one knows of the {{t|pl}} template anymore... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 14:41, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::How do you even USE that template in conjunction with a file? Seems pointless to bring it up here when there's no input for a file. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
+
-
::::::::Like this: <code><nowiki>{{pl|l=http://www.google.com http://hrwiki.org/images/thumb/e/ea/CupAJoe.png/18px-CupAJoe.png}}</nowiki></code> makes this :{{pl|l=http://www.google.com http://hrwiki.org/images/thumb/e/ea/CupAJoe.png/18px-CupAJoe.png}}. And please sign your talk posts with 4 tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 14:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::::::Sure thing Mike, err, Micheal. {{User:Iyeru/sig}} 14:59, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

== Link to Job Queue ==
+
-
 
+
-
The link to the information on Job Queues in [[Special:Statistics]] is broken (sort of). It should instead link to {{p|l=http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue Job queue}} on MediaWiki.org. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 18:17, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

== New article idea ==

I've an idea for a new article: fanscripts, people could post scripts that they invented about homestar runner's adventures, please can you consider my idea- posted 23 Thursday 2009 [[User:DJ Dumpy Dump|DJ Dumpy Dump]]

+
-
The wiki, as far as I know, doesn't put articles on fanstuff. There are other places you can post things, like the H*R fanstuff wiki (after the purge is over) and the fanstuff forum.--[[User:Mariofan1000|Mariofan1000]] 16:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

im not sure if any of you saw this but theres a new update on the

videlectrix site http://www.videlectrix.com/ {{User:Girrbyte/sig}}

:So just post it. There's a template for recent changes that you edit to show the changes, you know. If not, well now you know!

== Background Image ==
+
-
 
+
-
I'd like to resurrect [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 28#Background Image|a topic]] that I brought up almost a year ago.  Here's [http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1783/fieldgreyxd2.png a link] to the tileable image that I suggest we use as our new background image.  Plans were to make the change with update 1.13, which was skipped.. so, what's the plan now?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:I still haven't forgotten about that. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

::OptimisticFool, would it be too hard to make a different image in the style of the [[:Image:Pizza Joint The Field.PNG|current design of the field]]? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:25, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::Maybe, maybe not.  The sky might present a challenge.  Here's a quickly-thrown-together new-style field with an all-white sky, first [http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1875/newfieldtile.png the tile], and then [http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6584/newfieldtiled.png the tiled result].  I'm kind of partial to the older field, but I'm willing to fight with the sky behind the new field if it's the popular vote.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Preferences ==
+
-
 
+
-
I went into my preferences and saw in the "Old password" box a word that was twice the size of the box (with the black dots). Is this normal, or was my account hacked? Because I'm automatically logged in here and haven't entered my password since last week. And my password isn't that long. Yes, I'm aware that this question doesn't belong here, so where do I post this? {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 21:40, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:[[HRWiki talk:FAQ]]. It's not normal (the field for the old password isn't pre-filled when the page loads), but I don't think your account was hacked. Maybe a key was stuck on your keyboard and you selected the field. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

::You're probably right. It's fine now, and I just logged in on a different computer. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 01:04, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
