== Problem ==

Hi, SuperHamster. There is a user called TrainerXY493 who has an account TrainerX493 (the user you gave trustee status to weeks ago). TrainerXY493 apparently got the password wrong and had to create a new account. I'm wondering if you can do anything about this, because TrainerXY493 wants to have the old account restored. Thanks.

Here is the original discussion: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/User_talk:Mario#That_is_me

Let me know if I posted this in the wrong spot. Thanks!

P.S. By the way, are we supposed to have redirects to templates? [[File:Mario Sigpic.png|16px]] [[User:Mario|<span style="color:Red; font-family:modern">Mario</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mario|<span style="color:Blue;font-family:monospace">Talk to-a me!</span>]]</sup> 20:48, October 25, 2013 (EDT)

:Hey Mario! That's a shame...I don't think there is anything I could do. You'll have to talk to Jake about that, and see if he can do anything on the server-side of things. One thing I could see happening is [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge merging the old account into the new one], so that all edits and contributions from TrainerX493 will be moved to TrainerXY493. As far as I'm aware, though, that extension is not enabled on Nookipedia. Jake may be able to look into that, though.

:As for the template redirects - typically, no, there shouldn't be redirects, but it's pretty much on a case-by-case basis. There can be reason to have template redirects, though that's not common. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it!

==Trivia sections==

Hey, SuperHamster, I was thinking about how to deal with Trivia sections. I'm tempted to write something about trivia sections in article formatting, the rules and standards for them. For instance, our articles shouldn't have long trivia sections and if trivia can be incorporated into the main article, it should. I'm also planning a notice template for articles with overly long trivia sections. However, I can't do this without a small discussion, so maybe you can give some of your thoughts about this? Thanks for reading.

:Those all sound like good points to me! Trivia sections can definitely be valid and useful, though should be used only with good reason (since most things should be able to be incorporated into the article prose itself). If you'd like more input, I'd recommend making a thread on the forums to get a discussion going.

==Redirecting to External Sites?==

Hey Kevin, I have a question. Is it possible to redirect a page on the wiki to an external site? (Like the forum for example?) Thanks for your help in advance! -[[User:mlnintendo97|<span style="color:#008080">'''mlnintendo'''</span>]][[User talk:mlnintendo97|<span style="color:#FF00FF">'''97'''</span>]] 18:23, November 11, 2013 (EST)

:Nope - and it's a good thing, too. That could potentially be a pretty bad security flaw, as users could automatically redirect users to a harmful site. You'd have to simply create a page with a link :) <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:27, November 11, 2013 (EST)

== Vandalism ==

There is recent vandalism (the vandal has also created an awful page). May you please remove revision history of that page (and hide its name)? The [[Grams]] article has also been vandalized, and no one should see that revision also. Thanks. [[File:Mario Sigpic.png|16px]] [[User:Mario|<span style="color:Red; font-family:modern">Mario</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mario|<span style="color:Blue;font-family:monospace">Talk to-a me!</span>]]</sup> 14:33, November 24, 2013 (EST)

:Done! Thanks for the heads up. I tried my best, but I'm not sure if I can remove the title of the page itself from the deletion log, which is kind of unfortunate. Unless I'm missing something. Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 15:04, November 24, 2013 (EST)

::You're welcome. I was wondering if you can remove the title because I thought admins in MarioWiki did that. Anyway, though, thanks for the help! [[File:Mario Sigpic.png|16px]] [[User:Mario|<span style="color:Red; font-family:modern">Mario</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mario|<span style="color:Blue;font-family:monospace">Talk to-a me!</span>]]</sup> 18:12, November 24, 2013 (EST)

== Block template ==

I'm wondering about the last sentence in the {{t|BlockWarning}} template, specifically this one: "''You may remove this notice after you have finished reading it.''". Shouldn't users be discouraged from removing warning templates so staff members have an easier time to view user's editing history? I don't get how informal comments are not allowed to be removed while official warning templates are free to be removed. Maybe we should change this? Just a suggestion. [[File:Mario Sigpic.png|16px]] [[User:Mario|<span style="color:Red; font-family:modern">Mario</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mario|<span style="color:Blue;font-family:monospace">Talk to-a me!</span>]]</sup> 17:39, December 11, 2013 (EST)

:Good question :) I'm honestly not sure why we have that in the template, and don't remember why it was added by Jake back in 2011. I feel like the community's view on talk pages has changed since then, in addition to having the problem that we don't have a concrete policy regarding users managing their talk pages in the first place.

:If I had to explain the original reasoning behind it though, I'd point you towards [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages#Removal_of_comments.2C_notices.2C_and_warnings Wikipedia's policy] on this. On Wikipedia, user talk pages can be managed however a user wants, as undesirable as removing and ignoring warnings may be. Clearly there's a conflict with this view on the wiki, though.

:I would definitely support removing that bit from the template - I don't see why it needs to be mentioned that the warning can be removed. As to whether or not users should be able to remove warning messages in the first place, that's up for debate - I'm thinking we open up a quick discussion on the forums to come up with a concrete policy regarding users and their talk pages? <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 00:00, December 12, 2013 (EST)

::Ok, I'll remove that bit.

::We're supposed to assume that users remove it because they understand what is going on and don't need the template up like that. We here, however, assume that users shoo away, ignore, or try to hide the problem (shouldn't we assume good faith, though?) by removing the template... I don't know how much discussion this will lead to, but we can ask other staff of their opinion on this.

== My problem ==

Hi there!

I just joined the wiki today, because I was hoping to make some good friends here! I also joined the wiki because I wanted to share friend codes with people on animal crossing city folk! I don't have anyone to play with, so I would really appreciate it, if someone would like to play city folk with me!

--[[User:Nookandgo|Nookandgo]] ([[User talk:Nookandgo|talk]]) 13:47, January 6, 2014 (EST)

:Hey, and welcome to the wiki! I'm not currently playing City Folk :( If you'd like to find friends to play with here, I'd recommend heading to our [http://bulletinboardforums.com/forum/ forums] and visiting the Wild World / City Folk section. Hopefully you can find others to play with here. Most players have been busy with New Leaf though.

:If you need anything else, let me know! Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 15:15, January 6, 2014 (EST)

== Vandalism by Jman24274 ==

Jman24274 broke [[Template:!]] and vandalized your user page. I undid both edits. Just letting you know in case you need to block them. [[User:Mooninaut|Mooninaut]] ([[User talk:Mooninaut|talk]]) 23:09, January 15, 2014 (EST)

:Blocked - thanks for the heads up! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 23:10, January 15, 2014 (EST)

== Check I.P. ==

I think it would make sense if users with administrator tools also had the ability to check I.P. addresses just to make sure vandals create separate account or vandalize under an IP. It wouldn't make sense that I can block users, but can't check their I.P. addresses, no? [[File:Mario Sigpic.png|16px]] [[User:Mario|<span style="color:Red; font-family:modern">Mario</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mario|<span style="color:Blue;font-family:monospace">Talk to-a me!</span>]]</sup> 22:29, February 19, 2014 (EST)

:I agree that it could be a useful tool for admins, but it's limited on purpose. CheckUser is our most sensitive tool, since it allows its users to see a user's private IP addresses, among other things. Users trust the site to protect their private data, and users' privacy is something we have to be protective of. The more editors that have CheckUser rights, the more open to abuse it will be.

:On that note, CheckUser should only be used when there is a good suspicion that a user has been abusing multiple accounts (if you're in the US, think of it like the police needing probable cause before searching somebody). Even on Wikipedia, with its thousands of editors and over a thousand admins, only a select few dozen editors have access to the CheckUser tools.

:On that note, if you ever have the suspicion that someone is abusing multiple accounts, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll get on it ASAP :) Thanks, <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 23:15, February 19, 2014 (EST)

::I was wondering this because there is one I.P. that was blanking the page from a recently blocked user (Skylordg), blocked for blanking pages. There was another account I blocked recently that has also done the same thing, so that made me suspicious.

SuperHamster, I haven't edited here in a long time! It's great to see everything is going well around here.

:Hey, welcome back! :) No big projects in particular (like the villager list)is being worked on at the moment. Things I've been meaning to get to myself, though, are completing the update of our season pages for New Leaf (autumn, winter, etc. - some of them should already be updated), and also our [[Island Tour]] page. If you wanna try tackling those, feel free to (and if not, that's cool)! Those are the two things I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more bits and pieces that still need updating. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 00:55, March 17, 2014 (EDT)

== Block Template ==

Is it all right if I go ahead and add the block template to mlnintendo97's talk page?

::Perhaps, but I was asking if it's feasible or a good idea. I don't know why a user would want to go to a small, niche, open-to-editing wiki just to vandalize. There really isn't anything to gain. {{User:Mario/Sig}} 23:53, June 21, 2014 (EDT)

== It is me Wolfgang ==

Hello SuperHamster,

Haven't talked to you since a long time. How are you? Sorry for the sudden disappearance, it was simply because of my final exams, A levels. Anyway, how are things in the wiki? How can I help you guys? Is there a specific category you need my help in?

BTW, about the chat, it won't work for me. But, I can access it through a different program, but I need the channel name. Can you give it anytime later?

Thank you, [[User:Wolfgang|Wolfgang]] ([[User talk:Wolfgang|talk]]) 04:55, June 28, 2014 (EDT)

:No problem, glad you're back! I've been fine, how have you been?

:Wiki is doing all right, it's been smooth sailing as summer rolls around. Lots of random tasks to do...still have to update some pages for New Leaf (holidays, events, mini-games, furniture lists, etc.), mostly. As for the chat, are you talking about the chat in the forums? That's been broken for a while, so even if you do get access to it, you won't find anyone else - sorry! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 16:12, June 28, 2014 (EDT)

== Page to be deleted ==

Hello,

Please delete this page, [[How to find a carp in acnl‎|here]]. An anonymous user created it and it is simply meaningless.

Thank you, [[User:Wolfgang|Wolfgang]] ([[User talk:Wolfgang|talk]]) 09:30, July 3, 2014 (EDT)

:Done, thanks. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 11:31, July 3, 2014 (EDT)

== Image Problems ==

Hello SuperHamster,

Sorry about troubling you with the licensing of my images and even the category thing, it seems like I wasted your time with my mistakes. I hope I can be a better editor soon.

Thank you, [[User:Wolfgang|Wolfgang]] ([[User talk:Wolfgang|talk]]) 06:42, July 13, 2014 (EDT)

:Hey, no problem! We don't have a complete category system up yet for images, so I wasn't expecting anyone to really know about them. Awesome contributions so far :) <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 14:42, July 13, 2014 (EDT)

== Username formatting ==

Is it possible to make the first character in my username lowercase? It seems that all usernames are auto-formatted to start with a capital letter but I prefer mine otherwise. --[[User:Sunmarsh|Sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]])

:Hi there - unfortunately not. Usernames always start with a capital letter. However, you may make your username appear lowercased at the top of your userpage by placing <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:User:sunmarsh}}</nowiki></code>. You can also edit your signature at your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] so that your username is stylized however you like. On a side note, welcome to Nookipedia! <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 18:13, July 14, 2014 (EDT)

::I appreciate your prompt reply, thanks so much! :D [[User:Sunmarsh|Sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 18:26, July 14, 2014 (EDT)

==Image Licensing==

Sorry I've been forgetting to add this... maybe it should be made into a required field? Also is there any way to add the appropriate license post-upload? --[[User:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] ([[User talk:Sunmarsh|talk]]) 13:44, July 16, 2014 (EDT)

:No problem! We can definitely consider making it a require field, though I think that's something our server manager will have to take care of (and he's been inactive as of late). As for adding a license post-upload, you can just edit the page and add the license as I have done. You can find all our licensing templates at [[:Category:Licensing Templates]].

::Since you're more active than our current server manager, are you planning on eventually taking over the server? <big>[[User:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:darkred">Red</span>]] [[User talk:Red Snapper|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:red">Snapper</span>]]</big> 12:32, July 17, 2014 (EDT)

:::Eh, it's not my place to plan on it ;P I believe Jake will always be the server guy, since he physically owns and works with the server itself. We did discuss giving me greater access to the server files and whatnot last year, though. I'll see if we can get that going sometime soon. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 13:03, July 17, 2014 (EDT)
