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)

Untitled

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

Sarcasm or genuine compliment?? --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 07:02, October 16, 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)

Thank you for informing about the monobook. A few Wikia Staff members wrote the CSS for that, I haven't meddled with that since. As for interwiki links, we decided to remove it. There were concerns about content and image attribution. Although the contents can be shared, other wikis didn't seem to bother linking back to this wiki. So the staff (most are new and unaware of this decision) of this wiki decided to remove interwiki links.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 07:02, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Video

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. —unsigned comment by JavaCookies (talk · contr)

I have been observing this confusion. Your edit was indeed duplicate. We already have the video, your upload just overwrote the existing video. You can find the video's history here.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 07:02, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

AC3:L

Hi Vatsa, sorry to bother you, but I've been informed by another user that one of the videos in the Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation article isn't working anymore due to copyright infringment. It's the E3 Gameplay Trailer. I found the very same video on YouTube however... here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=589d7cuLjgo

Can you go ahead and replace it? I tried doing it myself, but I really don't know how. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 06:42, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

That's not the video, the video claimed was the Gamescom trailer.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 07:02, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Really? So I was correct all along! Thanks for clearing up that confusion V! Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 07:04, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
