About the Wiki Cap

Yes, I know this is the question you didn't wanted to hear. About the wiki cap, I just have a question about one of the criterias. I believe 400 edits is good, that 2 months is a good idea, but... "Participate in the community by contributing to discussion". I tried going to the IRC chat, and I even said Hello, but no one answered. they were too busy filling the chat with names of TF2 wiki pages.

Now the question comes: Is that criteria completely obligatory and uberimportant? Thanks, --Healing Patofan Pew pew! 15:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

The IRC chat has a bot that details all recent changes, this is likely what was "filling the chat". With the recent influx in members, a lot of us have been very busy and haven't been chatting in IRC as much as usual. With regards to the "rule", IRC is NOT a requirement, making helpful posts on talk pages would suffice. Nevertheless, to answer your question, that rule is not necessarily a requirement, making a bunch of helpful edits and the like is enough. The reason that statement is there is that if you make a bunch of edits but never talk, we may never know what you're doing! --Firestorm 18:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Oh, then that was it! Thanks for the info. now all I need to know is that I should get there sometimes, when I have spare time :P Well, now that I can, and If you have some spare time, could you see any o the articles I translated, to see if they are OK in wiki stile and etc?
You can see them in my userpage. I has them in the proyects tab. Thanks, --Healing Patofan Pew pew! 22:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
No problem. I looked through your translations and they seem great! I don't speak spanish so I can't tell if the translation itself is correct, but the layout is good and the links are working properly. Please remember to use the "Show Preview" button when posting on talk pages to ensure that your comments are tabbed correctly --Firestorm 22:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed, when I needed to edit the message 4 times to make it fit properly :P Well, thanks for all the info. EDIT: I want to ask you another thing. When I try to check my edit count, It redirects me to a quite strange error page. It also happens with all of the edit links I tried. Wiki problem or my computer problem? RE-EDIT: Oh, I see that the edit count is there, but is almost hided. Well, thanks anyway --Healing Patofan Pew pew! 22:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
You can also find your edit count by clicking on "My Preferences" in the top right --Firestorm 22:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Fanastic hats.

I hear you have some. ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 02:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Not anymore --Firestorm 02:12, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Well, damn. You should acquire some. ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 02:12, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
I do believe ninja rambo heavy spah is already in possession of a fantastic hat. -- Lagg Backpack Stickybomb Launcher.png 02:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Zelda

Please remember Link is small and green, like a Lego brick. -- En Ex (talk) 21:37, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

And Metroid is the little flying amoeba, not the person you play as. --Focusknock s 21:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
What? --Firestorm 21:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
And Mew is underneath the truck. --Piemanmoo 21:40, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
You crack me up, little buddy. -- OluapPlayer (t) Howdy, pardner! 21:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Userbox Big Boss

I wanted to suggest you two userboxes I just made (because I know you're the Big boss of User Box), and I'm trying to start makink some (because I'm a box addict) to complete userbox. So there:

I know the second one needs a bit more work I'll do another image for tomorrow. I may suggest you more soon too :D. Tturbo 04:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Neither of those apply to me. Also, why does "Spy the Old Way" include an Ambassador? --Firestorm 06:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
I know those don't apply to you, it's just that I've been told to show them to you so you can choose the one you like for the Userbox page. And the Old Way may not be the Oldest way possible, because now you have L'étranger and the Eternal Reward as spying tools. Tturbo 13:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, I see what you mean! The thing is, the userboxes page is getting a bit bloated now with one-use userboxes. If you find other people who would be willing to use those, then it would be better to put the on that page. --Firestorm 15:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

New to the wiki

Hi I am new to the wiki can you show me around and how to do cool tricks like you? Octaytse 04:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello there! All my delightful fancy tricks are done through the use of Wikicode. A cheatsheet of wiki code can be found Here and a full listing of the wiki markup can be found Here. For things to do and places to see, the Tasklist has stubs to fill out and ToDo lists to work on. Also, join us in IRC to ask questions and make suggestions. Thanks for your interest! --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 05:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
I didn't even know about that "cheat sheet" maybe we should get a link on the editing page or something? --Consealed 05:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
There is a link to it in the Help section of the Wiki. Click the "Help" button in the left sidebar. Also, please sign your comments with ~~~~ and tab your posts over with colons one more than the person above you. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 05:39, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I always forget that. >< And thanks! Consealed 05:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
