Question

Why weekly featured articles instead of daily featured articles? We're supposed to feature every article on the site - and we'll do it quicker with daily articles. User:60.230.37.94|60.230.37.94 06:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Because not every article is up to snuff yet. Also, there is very little to write on some articles, especially list-based ones. Further, we'd probably run out fairly quickly if we did articles every day instead of every week. We only have about 1900. Even if we could find something to write on every article, we'd run out in about 5 years. And then what would we do? --DorianGray 06:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Lucky Yates Show

Why are there three non-talk page links to the Lucky Yates Show, but the article had never been created? I would create it, but I've never heard of the Lucky Yates Show. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:33, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

We don't have any details on the content of the appearance at this time is why. We don't know anyone who was able to attend the show. --DorianGray 21:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't link any red links look good. Could we remove them? Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

My take: a red link indicates that we should have an article about a subject, but nobody's created it yet. I think we should leave them, and hopefully somebody with some information will come across one of those links and create the page. Trey56 21:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Image

I desperately need to upload an image. What's an autoconfirmed user? Whatever it is, can I please be one so I can upload this image? Empaire 08:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Empaire. Unless I'm mistaken, you will probably become an autoconfirmed user in the next few hours. Sit tight! Autoconfirmation is just something we do here so that trolls and vandals can't register a username and then immediately start uploading bad images. —BazookaJoe 08:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm just curious as to what image it is that desperately needs to be uploaded or the wikiworld will a splode. Danny Lilithborne 10:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Flickering text/logo

The animated logo for Decemberween is making my cursor flicker in and out in the edit box. Why come? -Ein Poltergeist

Main Page Icon

How can you view the icons for different hollidays like the one with red, green, snow, and a hat? (The Wiki Logo in the top left of every page.)--ONESTOP 20:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

They are located at wiki-ween.gif, wiki-dween.gif, and wiki-winter.gif. — It's dot com 00:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Proofreaders?

Is anybody going to change the misspelling of Burnination (BurninIation) in the "What's New" frame? It's been there for two days now. Apparently I can't edit it, so this is my only option.

Fixed. Homestar-Winner (talk) 16:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Podstar Download template...

Is there a Podstar Runner download template similar to {{watch}}? I was trying to find one to add to the latest update.— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 20:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Currently there isn't. The current template ({{Podstar download}}) is just for creating external links in articles. Also, since podcasts are basically downloadable versions of existing content (and not exactly embedded media), I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary to include a direct link, especially since both the Podstar Runner and toon pages would contain links. --Stux 20:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent Toons Template

Where do you go to edit the recent toons template? If I can't, here is the problem:

Enviroment is listed as being posted "JANUARY 7, 2007."

-Sbemailnum314159

Good eye. You can go here to edit it. —BazookaJoe 20:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Unblock

Why isn't there an unblock template? People who think they have been unfairly blocked might want to ask to be unblocked. 124.180.63.58 11:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Generally people in this position should post on a sysop's talk page - probably the sysop who blocked them - petitioning their block. Though, to be honest, I have seen very few blocks, if any at all, which have not been entirely reasonable. The few which were not were quickly corrected. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  12:51, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Note also that, unlike at Wikipedia, our software is not set up to allow blocked users to edit their own talk pages. This means an unblock template wouldn't work here, since a blocked user cannot add it to their talk page. If a user wishes to contest their block, email is one option. Heimstern Läufer 16:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone noticed...?

Has anyone noticed that when you enter homestarrunner.com there is a trogdor that pops up?

You were probably the first to notice. Combolations, Elizagerth. —BazookaJoe 19:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks man

New Podcast

I just downloaded Strong Badathlon through the iTunes feed... I'm too stupid to know how to update anything so I thought I'd add it here. rootbeersoup 17:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Sweet, thanks for the notice! --Stux 18:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Can someone help me?

I can't stay logged in it loggs me out the second I leave the main page. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which user are you? This can happen if you close your page without logging on. Happened to me a few times. The thing to do is to log in right now then log out. That does the trick. Sam the Man 22:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I am Gary the legend, and what you said doesn't work.

First, go to the Main Page. If you see in the top-right corner your username, it will say "log out". Click that. Then, log in again. If you are not logged in, just repeat the same process. Hope that works. 23:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Gary, try making sure you have cookies enabled, in your browser's preferences. ^{The Goblin!!} 23:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't work

Wow. I'm puzzled. Why don't you log in. Then go to your preferences and enable cookies. That should work. Sam the Man 23:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey Gary, just checking some things: Which browser are you using? Are you sure that you have cookies enabled in your browser before you log on to the wiki? Loafing 00:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, go through Wikipedia:Help:Logging in#Log in problems and see if you can fix it using those instructions. Good luck! Loafing 00:25, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to keep bothering you guys but for some reason it's not working

Please be more specific and answer the questions. Otherwise, we can't help you. Which browser are you using? Have you made sure that cookies are enabled? Have you tried the suggestion from the Wikipedia help page? Loafing 01:09, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I am useing Internet explorer and yes I tried the thingy on wikipedia And I checked for cookies

That's odd. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait for one of our experts to help you out. Loafing 02:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

What version of Internet Explorer are you using? (If you're not sure, it's probably either IE6 or IE7... look at those and tell me which one looks like what you're using). --phlip ^T_C 08:24, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

It looks more like Internet Explorer 6...I have a question, does enable mean to get rid of or allow?

To allow. Or better, to make operational; activate. — It's dot com 22:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
