Fanon

This may seem like a stupid question, but how do you create a fanon page on here? I've written one, but I'm not sure how to create it on the wiki. --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 18:21, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

I think I'll grab this one, Vats. To make a Fanon, you need to start by creating a new page, but make sure to put "ACFanon:" (without the quote marks) before the story/character's name. I can then add the Fanon template for you if you wish. Slate Vesper (talk) 18:30, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Slate! I'll be sure to get right on that. --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 18:38, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Question 'bout comments.

Hi, Vatsa. Uhm, I can't help but notice the staff's colored comments (with Animus style), and I wondered, how do you do it? I know it's something about CSS, but I want to do my own variant of it. It's on another wiki, you see. Please help. AssassinHood - Let's talk! 13:01, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Parameters depend on what you want for comment. I could give you a basic outline, but unless you have a slight knowledge that outline would be redundant. Why not just tell me what you want for this other wiki and I can help you out there?? --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 13:11, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

'Kay Vatsa. This is the wiki I'm usually on, and uhm...how should I put this...I kinda liked that Black Room theme you guys had, so I wondered, is it okay if I borrow that? AssassinHood - Let's talk! 13:58, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Vatsa? AssassinHood - Let's talk! 11:43, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Apologies Hoodie. Since User:Ultra Kuzon seems to be familiar with CSS (w:c:lookout:MediaWiki:Wikia.css), you can find further comments customisation here. I'm sure he will be able to duplicate the code to fit your requirements.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 13:24, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm....I tried doing it myself (I'm an admin there), but it seems it doesn't work. Any advice? AssassinHood - Let's talk! 15:56, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Did you purge your cache (Ctrl F5) after you saved the css?? --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 19:20, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

AC3 navbar

Hey V, in the navbar under the ACIII section, the characters category is Category:Assassin's Creed III Characters instead of Category:Assassin's Creed III characters.--Odranoelluta^{Talk✲<choose><option>http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel-cinematic-universe/images/1/18/Sig.png</option></choose>} 14:18, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Should update itself in a few hours.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 14:27, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Blog deletion

Just asking why did you delete my blog post —unsigned comment by Trever09 (talk · contr)

Your's was the second blog with the same topic after the forum was created, so I deleted the blog to keep the discussion at one page.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 13:24, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

the other one was in a forum though and mine was a blog unable to be edited and could only be commented on Trever09 (talk) 14:52, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Your point being?? --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 14:55, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

oh nevermind i'll never get it back anyway just liked that post though Trever09 (talk) 15:04, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

We all love our edits and blogs, but you have to realise that blog activity has increased uncontrollably. Off-topic comments, trolling, console wars, all of these flood the Wiki activity. Since there was an active page, using that reduces multiple blogs based on similar topic and it is easier for users to reply for an opinion at one places. Hope you understand and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 15:19, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for elightening me on the subject and i'm glad it was for a good reason Trever09 (talk) 16:01, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Apprenticeship

Hey I saw the section on Twelve's page, so does that mean don't have a mentor now? -- IlMualim ^{Wanna Chat?} 00:02, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

ACI Eraicon

Hi Vatsa, I've just spotted your Initiates eraicon and wanted to say nice work. Would you mind if I played around with it a little in the near future to make it line up with our other eraicons a little better? --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 10:51, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sure Jasca. I'm sure about I either. If you can improve the icon, go ahead, I don't mind at all.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 12:56, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Another question.

Hmm...seems my wiki has copied the admin template from here. Do you guys mind? If not, I'll delete it right away. I'm sorry this happened. With admin template I mean the Altaïr quote "I'm superior to you, in both title and ability.", though they changed the text a bit. AssassinHood - Let's talk! 13:50, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ex-profile

I just relised through checking of old pages that one of my old profiles is still active. I couldn't access it about a year or so back so I assumed for some reason or another it was deleated and started again. I don't know what you want to do with it but if you can please sync up all the data to my current profile (warnings and all). The profile is here http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:Smit58

My current one is Agentsmit58 (talk) 06:38, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Just a quick side note, you can't "sync up" any gained edits or badges from your previous profile, so all you'll be getting really is the warnings... Lucan07^Talk 06:42, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed III downloadable content

http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/ac3/en-US/news/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:19-66233&ct=tcm:6-231-32 Was my source for the information I added to the DLC page for AC3, I don't really know how to do sourcing though, not on here at least.EmeraldCorruption (talk) 03:09, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Vastsa1708

I'm very new here and I wanted to add a photo to Aveline's page. But I don't think I did it correctly and I'm sure I didn't the information about the artwork in the right place. Can you please help me? Thanks.JavaCookies (talk) 10:33, October 14, 2012 (UTC)JavaCookies

Query.

Hey V, I've seen you revert the Practice makes Perfect images as being out of focus on the subject. But then I have to ask, what exactly do you call this. Your own image, not adhering to to the consistent pattern. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 11:37, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for pointing out. I've cropped the next one but probably forgot the previous image.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 12:39, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so very much. 174.97.179.8 17:40, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Question

Hi Vatsa, you seem like the guy to come to for this... but I was wondering.. how do I go about to create my own sandbox, so I can test out the coding for my signature? Thanks in advance. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 02:56, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Here.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 03:04, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Issues with the wiki

Hello, you're an administrator on this wiki, so I thought that I'd reach out to you. I used to be really active on this wiki, something like 900 edits. Three years later, I have a request for someone administratorial.

Interlanguage links

It seems that at some point, an admin (who mysteriously was later superbanned by Wikia Staff) removed all the interlanguage links from the Main Page. This is terribly counterproductive. It shields all the other languages from people knowing they exist, and the Spanish, Polish, Arabic language wikis all suffer.

[[de:]]
[[es:]]
[[fa:]]
[[fr:]]
[[it:]]
[[pl:]]
[[pt:]]
[[ru:]]

I would STRONGLY recommend, as the administrator of my own Wolfenstein Wiki, that you paste that into the bottom of your Main Page (next to any Categories). That will add links to all the other wikis connected to this one, on the bottom of the page, outside of the article, in the "Languages" section. That way, people will be able to find them, and people will be able to contribute to them.

Monobook

I would also take notice of issues with the alternative Monobook skin for this wiki. Try it out. There's some serious readability problems. Someone should look at the CSS and make it usable, like my Wiki is.

If you have any questions or comments, leave a message on my talk page, or here, or on the Wolfenstein Wiki chat, if I'm on it. I'll get back to you really soon. Elecbullet (talk) 06:30, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well, Vastsa,

Do you have any suggestions as to how to handle something like this? I don't really care about how it happened I just would like for it not to happen and if it does not to be the one that has to beg over and over beg to get it fixed. Thanks.

SupremeAssassin,

Please tell me why your revented a video I just added to AC Liberation? It was not a duplicate! It was one in which you can hear Aveline's voice. I check each video to make sure I wasn't adding one that was already there. In addition one of the videos on the site doesn't even work anymore. That one should have been removed. I am new here and would love to contribute but if you change things without even checking to see if it's a duplicate before I can complete them how to I know I'm doing it correctly. In addition why not change the video that doesn't even work anymore?

JavaCookies (talk) 05:08, October 16, 2012 (UTC)JavaCookies.

Hello JavaCookies, I admit, I reverted your edit on the grounds that it was a duplicate... because I saw the video still image, indicating it was the very same video, however, for someone who is new to the site... You have done well considering your effort to make sure you are not adding anything irrelevant. I apologize for causing any inconvenience to you. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 05:14, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

That all nice and good, my friend, but how to we fix this? As I stated I'm new and would love to be a part of this wiki but it's very complicated. I worked hard to get this right and without real help it's very frustrating. So can we removed the one that doesn't work and add the one I was trying to add? I would greatly appreciate it.

JavaCookies (talk) 05:20, October 16, 2012 (UTC)JavaCookies

Well this is where I have to prove you wrong, the video still works... Are you by any chance in a country where it's not available? Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 05:42, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I'm in the United States. I have no idea whether the video can't be seen here but this is what it states:

"Assassins Creed: Liberation..." E3 Gameplay Trailer.
The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.

JavaCookies (talk) 05:51, October 16, 2012 (UTC)JavaCookies.

Oh, I see! I checked the wrong video... I will have to correct this immediately with an adequate source. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 06:09, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

As I stated an hour ago, I check everything before I change anything. I don't do anything half way. I am a African American female that loves these games and have played them for years with white males as the protagonist. To have an African American female assassin is a source of great pride for me. So back to my first question. Can we please get this right? It was your change that was the error. The frustration level is at my neck right now.
