Days ago template

Do you want me to delete the template you just blanked? Darkman 4 06:28, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Show preview

You really should be using show preview, sir! -- Pilk (talk) 02:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Noted, finished with what I was doing, anyway. Seb26 02:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

AWB

Hey Seb, I've used AWB a bit in the past, and would like to use it for the Wiki, but I can't seem to get it to connect here properly. In preferences/site I'm setting project to Custom and the website to "wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/" but it doesn't connect properly. Any ideas? It's telling me that the Root element is missing --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 16:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

You should really speak to Pilk. He's been AWBing for months. Also, it should be http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/ note w not wiki. -- Smashman... (ts) 19:14, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
That's all I needed, thanks! --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 19:17, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
I've been using it, along with some PHP scripts for SmashBOT. Lemme know if you need any more aid. Although, Pilk is lots more pro at this Bot stuff than me. -- Smashman... (ts) 19:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
For sure, The only issue I see now is that attempting to open a page selected in the AWB in your browser doesn't work. --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 19:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Just the other day, I was thinking, "Man, I really wish there was an easy way to change uber to Über! It always annoyed me." well, there ya go! --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 19:43, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Category adding!

Nice job. It's always something that nobody enjoys. One thing however, language pages should have language categories. So, an English page in Category:Valve should have a Russian translation page with a category Category:Valve/ru. Annoyingly nobody is followin this rule, but if you could when you're doing your category additions. Other than that, you're doing a great job! -- Smashman... (ts) 14:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks :) seb (talk) 21:41, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Bot?

Think you'd like to make a bot? Then your edits won't clog up the Recent Changes, especially if you're using AWB. -- Smashman... (ts) 23:02, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

SebBOT 23:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
I'll take that as a yes. Don't ruin anything please. -- Smashman... (ts) 23:08, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
brb destroying wiki. Nah, in all seriousness, I'll take it slow. seb (talk) 23:10, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Moderator rights

Hi seb. You have been promoted to moderator, you should be able to take care of deletes yourself and perform maintenance on sysop protected pages. You have proven yourself quite valuable, I trust that you won't let us down. Please remember to err on the side of caution when deleting, so if you are unsure just place a note on an admin's talk and they should help you. Cheers :) -- Pilk (talk) 12:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to the team. You're doing one helluva great job! Definitely an invaluable editor. -- Smashman... (ts) 22:45, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
*Generic comment regarding welcome and acknowledgement of meaningful contributions* --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 23:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks guys, I'll promise to take care :) seb26 (talk) 05:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Page protection

Generally, protecting high use templates is not necessary. It prevents legitimate edits and vandalism is not much of an issue here. Sysop-only blocking should only be used on pages with repeated bad edits (especially around update times). Basically, protection for the sake of protection works against what we are trying to accomplish here. -- Pilk (talk) 08:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright. When I selected templates for protection this morning I was careful to judge whether or not it would be necessary for it to be edited again at all, but then I saw the huge transclusion figure and I guess it won me over. In future I won't make the same mistake (and I'll undo some of the protections). seb26 (talk) 09:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Template:Ambox

What's up with that black cell in the contents area? It looks really wonky. -Shine () 03:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it should be fixed soon. seb26 (talk) 05:46, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
One other thing, if I give you a list of image redirects can you have your bot fix them? -Shine () 06:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Yeah sure :) seb26 (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

=3 -Shine () 07:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Can it delete them when its done too? -Shine () 07:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Ho damn. I'll have them done soon :p I can't delete them though, because my bot doesn't have moderator rights (and I don't really think I should do it on my main account, either). Maybe talk to Pilk or Smashman when I've finished, they could probably handle it better. seb26 (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
