== Block'd? ==
Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not. If you didn't though, then 1 week was probably a little harsh. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Meh, maybe you're right. I was going primarily from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=568565 this edit}}, and I thought that the anonny had been reverted three times and was being persistent with adding those links. I'll unblock for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was just fooling around and deleting some spam from the sandbox. The anonny wasn't spamming any other pages than the sandbox. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 21:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No need to fear, Turtle, you acted correctly. Dotty just got a little carried away—which he ''rarely'' does, I might add, he does a bang-up job here and I'm personally proud of what he's accomplished—and made a premature judgement in absence of the facts. He fixed it, and all is well now, all is safe and sound. Sleep peacefully. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Dotty? Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. Thanks as always to Qermaq for putting a bow on what was pretty much already wrapped up. ;) (Although I ''would'' recommend in the future not yelling in summaries if one is not trying to attract attention. But yeah, no big deal now.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Admit it, you kinda love it when I call you Dotty. ;) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Personally, I think Dot Com should be quoting [[Wikipedia:Yakko, Wakko and Dot|Dot Warner]] right about now: "Call me, Dotty and you die." {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:30, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== Joshua ==

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I do believe that what is occurring is simply playful banter which Sam here has taken a bit too seriously. Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Edit conflict: Lies. All lies! Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Joshua randomly bans Super Sam on the forum and then Super Sam screws around with the forum skin for revenge. Also I think Supra tried to block Joshua on the wiki but Joshua just unblocked himself. Just a spot of fun, no need to get all grumpy about it. I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Peasant%27s_Quest_Walkthrough&curid=3090&diff=570451&oldid=568760 this}} is pretty awesome... great jorb! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks! I installed the feature back during the last upgrade (because the fanstuff kept pestering me to) but hadn't found a good use for it here at the knowledge base until now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button. It will give you a place to enter the thread header and format it automatically. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Jolly good. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Just the same, I think I'd like my username changed. (I've been thinking of ditching LuxAcerbus for a while now.) Sysops can do that, right? {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 19:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::::Bureaucrats can, yes. See [[HRWiki:Changing username]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::Thank you for the help, my good man. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 23:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually.<br/ >
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I concur with Phlip's suggestion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Alrighty, thanks for that. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Looking at [[Talk:Main_Page#Read-Only_Forum|this]], it appears a lot of the forum users have been giving you grief over the locked forum. I just would like to pause for a moment and say thank you. You have dealt with this matter professionally, and I would like to say that in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. Thank you for managing this problem well. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for your comments. It remains to be seen whether splitting off the off-topic discussion from the H*R threads will be a good thing, but I'm hoping for the best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Ummm... there's no more bar there. it completed. But nothing happened. It's just... the signup screen.<br>
Also, I sent the email, but I didn't get a reply. {{User:The thing/sig}} 12:52, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, you sent two emails. I only said you'd get a reply if it was necessary, and in your case it's not. The status bars only indicate that a certain step is done out of many. You'll know that the wiki is back up when it looks like a MediaWiki wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, also, can you not do the purge in the next 3 hours? I have to go somewhere. {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Deal. Before I do it, I'll be sure to ask you if it's okay. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I already sent you my email. Should I post my new username on [[HRWiki:Changing username]], or just wait? - {{User:Super Sonic X/Sig}} 00:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Dot com, it has been like 3 weeks now. What gives? -[[User:AlmsforthePudgy|AlmsforthePudgy]] 19:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

:Seriously, you guys. Stop pestering Dot com. He's doing his best, and he's working very hard for you. Yes, for '''you'''. Give him some credit. It's dot com is spending hours and hours (literally) of his spare time fixing the fanstuff wiki for you, and the last thing he needs (I'm sure of it) is someone poking him with a stick continuously, asking if he's done yet. So sit back and relax, give him some space, and when he's finally done, thank him very much for it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 13:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you change my user name to Raiku? Its going to be my last username ever. I am going to keep it. {{User:Raiku/sig}}

==Name Change, Too==
I meant to name myself hremail24, not Hremail 22. Can you fix this malfunction, private?

== Ops in #hrwiki-fanstuff ==

I hate to whine and complain like this, but please give someone ops in #hrwiki-fanstuff. It is impossible to control the channel. It doesn't have to be a fanstuff sysop, just someone easily accessible. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 17:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

What was that crap-for-brains doing? Being a freakin' vandal and everything? I owe it all to ya for helping my user page stay cool. Did you block him? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 20:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

== Transcribing Permission ==

Sorry to interrupt, but I was just wondering if I could transcribe the toons at the [[wikia:c:weeblsstuff|Weeblpedia]] similar to the way we transcribe toons here. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 02:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:Uh, yes? I don't really have any jurisdiction to give you permission. Our style is nothing special, and I suppose it could be used for any number of things. It may or may not be relevant, but some authors of works of fiction don't like their works being transcribed, so watch out for that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

It's Dot Com, Your the [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|admin]] I trust the most, and the only one I know actually. [[Template_talk:personal-image-abandoned|This page]] is in desperate need of an admin to look over the new suggested designs of the personal image templates, and to add to the talk page if you agree that we should/can change the personal image templates to the HR related ones, or not. Please do look into this. Thanks! {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 17:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:That discussion is over two years old. As I said when it was current, I don't think we should change the templates, especially given I'm the one who made the versions we're using now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

From my old fanstuff talk page:
<blockquote>
[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Recentchanges Check this out]

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in. I figured I'd ask you if we could possibly make this a feature here. It would make things alot easier when trying to contact users and such. --{{User:TheDenzel/sig}} 18:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing. Part of what a lot of people like about reading a wiki is that you're not publicly logged unless you edit. And there's the thing: one should be able to tell who's online well enough just by looking at the recent changes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
</blockquote>
Or do you mean something that only sysops and/or developers could see? If so, we already have enough behind-the-scenes access to handle our relatively minor spam load. Thanks though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:I mean that only registered users can see, and from my knowledge of it, noone EVER uses it but me, for some reason on the other wikis I go on. It would just help alot. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 19:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Well, like I said last year, I don't think that information should be available to just anyone who happens to have an account. There's almost no reason (if any) to look over someone's shoulder if they're merely reading articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

::::It would be nearly impossible to tell whether someone was about to vandalize based solely on what they're looking at. Even if it were possible, the vigilance required to make the extension effective would be prohibitively time-consuming.
