Rollback Rights
Do nominations become invalid if they are requested by the user? Because I noticed that's what Haydos did. It's just recently I feel I may need this because I fing myself frequently undoing people like David agoada's edits. I'm not asking you to nominate me, by the way, just need to check if it would be valid if someone did  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  09:48, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not request to be nominated, PacBoyCraZ nominated me and I eventually accepted (because I didn't know it was happening). However, I may be misunderstood by your sentence.  Haydos271 Sig.PNG a chat! Wiki Games! 11:02, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh, guess I never looked at it correctly, it wasn't really clear where the conversation started. Although, to be fair, you did say on the User Rights page that you had no idea about the nomination, which is untrue. Anyway, that's not the point, I'm asking whether or not asking for a nomination would invalidate it if there was one  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  11:24, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't need someone to necessarily nominate you (or ask them for that purpose as they will automatically do it for you). You can nominate yourself. // N i f k y  ° 13:36, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh right, I'll do that then, cheers!  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  13:40, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Luckily, this wiki has sensible users, so I suppose self-nominees can be allowed. Other wikis where there a loads of naive users requesting for adminship need some regulation by having a nomination system. We should add this to the IRC meeting. And still no votes on Haydos' nomination? TIGERNOSE   Gadgetron_Site.jpg ( Headquarters   ''' 13:44, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

David Agoado/User:Clankmario89

Profanity Policy
Hey! One was created! Were you trying to trick me?  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  19:13, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry for accusing you. Although had I not double-checked to see if it was a trick I would've ended up putting it on the agenda. Ah well, never mind  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  19:29, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hang on a sec, isn't it linked to policies? Anyway, do you want me to delete my self-nomination on the User Rights page?  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  19:32, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I dunno, 'cos I'm annoying? Would it be possible to have a rotating quote, so each time someone visits my userpage a different quote would be displayed? I'm guessing no, but I know very little about wiki formatting  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  19:42, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Right, probably wouldn't understand that, so I'll leave it. Thanks anyway! Can I just point out, I can edit the main "...did you know" template, but not the archive. How am I supposed to add the removed stuff from the template to the archive if it's locked?  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  20:20, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Arctic Leviathan unsourced picture is deleted from its source

David agoado/Clankmario89
David agoado himself said he would stop using the Clankmario89 account. Looks like we were all right about him being Clankmario. But I do think the Clankmario account should be blocked, first of all, he used the account to call me and several other users bad names (I won't be specific unless you ask me to) and vandalised and made fake articles. Also, Ratchet & Clank wiki:Sockpuppets says that the unnused sock will be blocked when the user decides to use the current account or switch to a new one. Thanks, -- Tommy   Talk  02:15, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Futuro Theme
I'm glad you like it. I'm going to keep using Stylish for now so that I can change the code on-the-fly, as I'm still working on the theme. As for making it the default skin on the wiki, I still have a bit of work to do. Currently, some images are embedded in the css as data URI's and ones that are too big are hosted on imageshack. This seems to be a problem already, as the wiki logo on imageshack just went down. It won't be too hard to switch the images over to wikia like the current theme's images are, so that's not too hard. Currently, the theme was designed for Firefox (however, you don't actually need Firefox or Stylish to use the theme; anyone else just has to press "install as user script" on the userstyles.org page), so it uses some Firefox-specific css. I'll have to add some more css to make the the theme look as good as it can on other browsers (Internet Explorer, though will look pretty much the same, as it doesn't support much). I'll be sure to be at the meeting next Saturday. -- Jxtreme  18:36, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Block
Thanks, but David agoado is now editing on Jak and Daxter, and if you edit there, even occasionally, try to warn the admins of any stuff you may see hime doing. If you're not up to it, I'll get into workin' there. Thanks again, -- Tommy   Talk  22:04, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You may want to consider blocking this IP, I'm fairly certain it's David agoada. Unless I've misinterpreted you and PacBoy and you haven't blocked David agoada in the first place  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  16:04, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple saves
I just thought of an important tip: Two identical saves. It is because sometimes one might make a mistake or pull off a glitch that might cause the save to become corrupt, or might make the game unwinnable. Multiple saves means you have a spare save if one becomes corrupt or unwinnable.

For example, while playing Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando I went to fight the Swamp Monster II. Since I did not have gravity boots, I wall hacked underneath the gravity ramp, and glided to underneath the big tube, and was suddenly in it, and then fighting the swamp monster. Because I was only up to Barlow, my weapon arsenal was limited. I used all the ammo for my major and minor weapons, and resorted to even the bomb glove to try and kill the beast. I took off 85% of his health (A feat only possible by replaying levels an insane number of times for weapon and health EXP, a strategy called "grinding", hence "Grind3r"), and died. I respawned next to the chute, but it was closed. I thought "no biggie", went to an ammo vendor and restocked, came back, wallhacked through again, glided under the tube, reappeared inside the tube, and landed in the arena. However, the swamp monster was nowhere to be seen. I thought "what have I done???", but remembered my backup save. I loaded it, and saved over the now unwinnable save. Later that day, or the next day, I earned enough bolts for the RYNO II. The Swamp Monster II went down like slime next to a nuke. However, if I did not have that backup save, I would be dooooooooomed.

Apology

 * please note this mesage is not for user but any admin who happens to see this.

I feel as if should get an apology, a year ago i said angela was a lombax and she was trying to escape tachyon on tachyon's page and then i got a mesage saying that my saying was wrong now that what i said is true i want a apology!!!!

(Keaden 05:02, March 27, 2010 (UTC))
 * Errrrrmmmm...no, if you said it a year ago you said it before A Crack in Time came out. Before ACiT came out the official word was that Angela was not a Lombax. So no one owes you an apology...  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  09:02, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Futuro theme
Does the Futuro theme ever update? I've updated it few times per Wikia's changes to their wikis, and I'd like to know if you're being prompted to do so. -- Jxtreme  23:14, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * What glitches? I just found a user page tabs bug, fixed it. I have a feeling that's not the one you men, though. -- Jxtreme  19:44, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's Stylish being annoying. It could also be that you have a old version, so go to the add-ons window and click Stylish. Click the button at the bottom that says "find updates" and update the theme if possible. Then disable and re-enable the theme to fix the images. -- Jxtreme  20:57, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Banner
Could you add a permanent fixture to the banner pointing out the forum for Game help and such? It's just to try and stop articles like this being created  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  14:53, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Errrr...a reply would've been nice  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  08:39, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Veldin...
I have the strangest feeling that veldin was a former lombax colony world my reasons


 * The advanced tech


 * This is just a theory, Kaden may have studied veldin in the lombax archives during his traning with Alister Azimuth, then during percivals attack on fastoon, kaden, knowing this, sent ratchet there knowing it would take tachyon long time to find out about veldin

Please get back to me as soon as possible also no rude comments i have enough to deal wiith on the bionicle wiki.

i also believe the same happend with angela and grelbin

IRC meeting
Hi, I'm sooo sorry that I forgot! I was doing some stuff, got caught up in that, and when I checked the time, it was 11:00. Sorry, but I think we'll have other IRC's in the distant future, I'll attend those if I can. Sometimes my brother hogs the computer, so things are tough with my schedule, escpecially when I have to be somewhere, like an IRC meeting. Sorry again, PacBoyCraZ  My talk page 18:54, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just sorry I missed it. I'll look at the transcript. PacBoyCraZ  My talk page 20:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Summary!
Up at last, sorry it took a while. I've added all the tasks to the to-do list, so go there to get some of them done! Here's the tasks I didn't add but you volunteered to do:
 * UYA ending characters - identifying them, you might want to speak to HiQu about that.
 * (Re)opening a forum to discuss the sidebar changes.
 * Moon infobox - you need to tell me what fields you want on this so I can create it, and what colours to use etc. With fields I need to know what are 'sub headings' and what are general fields etc.
 * Image-links on Main Page, the image section, I need you to create a forum to put previews of the image navigation thing for the main page, and let jxtreme know where it is if he wants to give some previews as well. We can discuss this there.

Anyway, the bullet points above are what you need to sort out. Everything else that needs doing is on the to-do list or admin to-do list. Anything missing from those I've dealt with. Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 13:57, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You know how we are going to merge the music articles into one for the soundtrack of each game (e.g. Ratchet & Clank (soundtrack)? Maybe you could create one and merge articles into it as an example, then show the example to Tiku-Orava? I'll be away for a few days and he's waiting to merge the rest of them. Thanks if you can, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 20:29, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also the new userbox template, Lombax Jerk copied it ages ago from Darthipedia I think. I've changed it a bit, and it can be found here. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 20:32, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Social IRC meeting
How about for our next IRC meeting, it can be social, something where we just talk about random things about the wiki or in our gaming life, etc. You can tell me what you think, but I'm thinking that it would be good practice for when we need to get ready for the IRC's. I can arrange time for you guys, everything, just get everyone you can get so we could all agree on this time and idea of a social IRC meeting. If you disagree with the idea, tell me on my talk page, please give the reason why we cannot have it also. PacBoyCraZ My talk page 20:09, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * My plan here is to get people used to IRCing for the wiki. Social meetings are usually attractive, althought I myself may not show up. Your point is good, sometimes people don't show if it's only social PacBoyCraZ  My talk page 01:58, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Death article being protected?
Why have you protected the Death article? What do you mean edit war i was just improveing Mateo's verson because it was alot better than the one you put. Are you confused with another article? Neffy545 21:09, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

I just thought it needed to be improved because it seemed to have too much speculation. I'll most likely be at the IRC Meetings so we can talk about this there. Neffy545 21:23, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but the death article has alot of uneeded Speculation that's needs to be fixed and i think it would be smart if you unprotected the page so it can be fixed. Neffy545 17:31, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Tigernose, please. I feel the Death article has been protected long enough, it is starting to look like the worst article on this wiki. This conversation will continue on the Death article talk page. And i still feel the reason you protected this article doesn't really make sense, i did not have an edit war with anyone. Neffy545 15:54, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Secret Agent Spin-Off?
Hey, I've heard a lot about Secret Agent Clank being a Spin-off, but I've never heard why, so could you explain it to me, because I don't see why it's a Spin-Off, Personally, I think the only one is Going Mobile. But yea, why is it? Ninja Ratchet 23:02, May 19, 2010 (UTC)Ninja RatchetNinja Ratchet 23:02, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

When Secret Agent Clank first came out, i thought it was a movie Ratchet & Clank were making (and i still think it was just a movie) becuase in UYA Clank said Secret Agent Clank is just a TV show, so that would make the game Secret agent Clank not real and a spin off. NOTE: if i am confuseing you let me know. Neffy545 21:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Protecting articles
I've noticed a few times with you that when you protect articles (hopefully this is just being negligent) you don't change the expiry time of it; i.e. you protect the whole article for an infinite amount of time. It's important to change this is a few hours or days if even necessary and not use the move protection unless there is a move-article war going on. This is to echo the concerns of two editors a few threads above this message who have been waiting to have Death unprotected by you so they can edit it. Remember to change the default selection of article protection time to a few hours, and I will now unprotect the article on behalf of you since you haven't been able to do it (I've been waiting for you to because a few editors specifically addressed you and not me). Thanks. <font color="#d4edb6">// <font face="Trebuchet MS"><font color="#66cc00">N <font color="#74d402">i <font color="#7ad91e">f <font color="#7fde22">k <font color="#8dec30">y  <font face="Trebuchet MS"><font color="#c4d5b3">° 04:06, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Planet maps
I have project going on where I recreate R&C 1 or 2 planet maps with photoshop (objective is to make the maps as similar to the game's maps as possible). I have also thought vector images but I think they are too complex to me, especially when the results become absolutely the same. Before starting anything big, do you think these would fit in the wiki for planet articles or should I only do these for my own joy? -- Tiku-Orava 20:33, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Added to To-do list. This will be very time counsuming, as finishing one map takes several days. Thank god the maps have a grid behind them so the task gets over 9000x easier. -- Tiku-Orava 05:16, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Took me 10 hours to make a "beta" version of Ratchet & Clank's metropolis map: Metropolis Beta. To finish this, I need to fill the colors fully and soften edges and fix map border issues, and some shape errors (and also fill more green areas as I need to take a challenge mode again to see them). But I think the size is perfect, no need to make this bigger or smaller (with the exception of the outer grid, which is now the same as in the original Ratchet & Clank). Well, tell me your opinion. -- Tiku-Orava 16:51, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I leave my suggestions if anything comes up into my mind. By the way, I added the planet maps to the agenda so everyone can know about this project. -- Tiku-Orava 17:30, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Drek's fate
Tigernose, i'm shore you agree their has been enough Speculation on Drek's fate, thier is no way at all he could have survived that impact, its like straping someone to rocket thats going about 100,000 mph and then crashing into a planet. No one can survive that. Some fan Speculaters say Drek teleported off the planet, first of all, even if he would have survived the hard impact, he did not have a teleporter, and most likely would not have enough time to get off the planet even with one. The smartest thing you should do is block Drek's status as Deceased and tell Ninja Ratchet its Speculation to say he even survived, and fan-fiction. Neffy545 20:12, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think you might have to protect the Death article again because of this issue, too, as it seems most people don't seem to except the fact Drek is dead. Might you be able to help in this matter? Neffy545 17:17, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Drek is on Notable deaths. I do, however, think you protect articles for too long of a time, as the Ratchet's mother article has been protected for about five months now. Neffy545 18:41, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

The problem with the article is it has to many disagrements. For example, a user saying Drek is dead, and another saying no he's not (like me and Ninja Ratchet). But in an email Insomniac actually reavealed they might bring Drek back, but as far as they knew he died in R&C1. So it is possible he survived. Enough sources to put him in Possible Deaths. I don't want you to unprotect the article yet, so can you do it? Neffy545 19:19, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

A week sounds good. But if it doesn't stop then, something has to be done. Neffy545 20:10, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Are you going to put Drek in Possible Deaths? I think it would be proper, cause when Insomniac gives a hint, it may just happen. Neffy545 01:15, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Memoserv
Hello, I sent you a message to read when you came on IRC via memoserv.. Appears that you didn't read it yet. Basically I was saying that can we give out IRC meeting/estimation out on the same talk pages I did earlier with the time 1pm, 17th July (UTC)? That's the day Hunterj can do and then users can comment whether that is a suitable time or not; or else we will have months of delays until the next meeting. After the time and day are confirmed we can send out the IRC meeting.

Youtube videos
Is it possible to make youtube videos only show the play/pause button and the length, hiding the video? This would be very handy on soundtrack pages as the videos won't mess up the text and the overall look would be more polished. I know Halopedia has done this but I don't know how to do this on our wiki. -- Tiku-Orava 20:03, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's an example song page with this feature: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Covenant_Dance I looked now at it and it seems that it has heigth at 25. I may have tried that and I remember it didn't work. But I try it again now. -- Tiku-Orava 20:11, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * On those different youtube tags, yeah it works. But I have yet to discover how to move it to the right. -- Tiku-Orava 20:16, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Asked from a few Halopedia moderators, and even they don't know how. So I think best idea is to make a blank infobox where the video could be placed. -- Tiku-Orava 13:19, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

FINALLY got it working. Now it looks much better, and removes space from the pages. Also the music pieces stay in place. -- Tiku-Orava 18:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

IRC meeting tasks
Here is a list of the IRC meeting tasks you specifically volunteered to. The remaining tasks have either been sorted or put on the to-do list, these tasks rely 100% on you so are top priority!
 * Create and lead a user project (use existing ones as a template for setting them up) for reducing the imageless category and low resolution category by uploading images.
 * All species names not mentioned by an official source are non-canon and should be replaced with titles such as "Unknown blue humanoid species" while still using conjecture
 * Time rifts discussion - please use that redlink and make your time rifts forum there, I've already put it in the correct administrative forums list.

Thanks, and if you have any problems please contact me. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 23:37, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

New section
Hello, I want to create a new article but I don't know how to create a new section.Could you help me with that?Secret agent clank 08:51, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sections
Thank you very much. I'll check the layout guide and if the aritcle doesn't exist. Secret agent clank 13:33, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Help me
Oh, thank you, Tigernose. This guy keeps wrighting down fan-fiction after i've told him a million times this is not the R&C fan-fic wiki and is making fake sources and articles. You have to help me out with this, give him a warning, block him if you have to, just help me XD. Neffy545 21:21, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'm gald you understand, he said he was leaving, and he would block me if he could, man now that is just, you know, what did I do wrong, i'm trying to erase his dumb fan-fiction and he says he going to block me, tsk tsk, too bad when new users come in we don't get any real help.

Definitely could be an FA, but needs MAJOR work. Allister Azimuth is close. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:07, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Alister Azimuth
I've done some work to Alister Azimuth.

Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 10:35, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I have uploaded a Vorselon picture, however, it seems to not work on this wiki. Either it has to be deleted, I did something wrong, or there is just something missing. Go and check it, fix it if it needs to be or delete it if it doesn't work. Neffy545 21:02, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, wait. I think its working now. Neffy545 21:32, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Vapedia Walkthrough
Nice job with the Vapedia walkthrough. -- Jxtreme  19:30, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Terraklon gladiators?
When was it confirmed that those were Terraklons? Look at Vorselon's head and then look and their heads. Vorselon has one eye, they have three. They are robots, Vorselon is not. Vorselon has a green head, they do not. So, can I please have a source. Neffy545 21:22, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

I see. Sorry I replied extremely late, i'm really busy lately with this new R&C. Neffy545 02:06, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Vapedia
There weren't that many mistakes. Just the simple mistakes that are only made when creating a huge article...

Oh, of course. Sorry about that. And that Drek speculation is possible, but wasn't Nefarious confirmed to have created the machine and then it malfunctioned? Or am I wrong. Neffy545 23:09, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Gleeman Vox's page
Hello. Since I'm being ignored in the discussion page for him, I thought I'd ask you on your page instead. Anyway, a user here named Neffy copied information from an Ace Hardlight story www.thefallenstar.xtremeisland.com (from Gleeman Vox's profile there, under 'characters') and not only is it stealing, it's also wrong to use that info because The Fallen Star is a fanon story, NOT a canon story. It even says so on EVERY page there at the bottom. He was told to change it at a forum but he ignored the PM so I'm hoping you can change it back, since not only is it just a copy-paste, it's also misleading information about his character. (because the story is a fanon story, based on canon events of course but expanded with fanfiction by the author)

Thanks.SoulStalker 20:20, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Look, I have no idea who you are, but you don't just come out of no where yelling at people. Ask them if it was a mistake first. Really, another user that makes me sick. I was not stealing anything, I thought it was CANON and I still don't know if your're lieing, and I re-worded the words. What fourm? I was NOT told to change anything. Neffy545 00:23, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Why are you lying so much? Tara Cross PMed you at Ratchet Galaxy to kindly remove it, because she wrote that info but you ignored her. And I wasn't even being mean! You're just a bit too sensitive me thinks and it IS from The Fallen Star! Because only she came up with the idea of Vox inheriting that fortune and the Vox brand from another family member. It was never said anywhere in the games or guides that it happened. It only happened in her fanfiction. AND also, the event of Ace crashing his ship near his private home asteroid is in HER story, that was never in the games.

So please, don't accuse me of spreading lies when you're the only who copy-pasted that info from her fansite. But at least you removed it now, so that's good.

Thanks Tigernose. Glad not everyone around here is so sensitive (hostile)... SoulStalker 09:54, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

I don't go on my account anymore! I didn't lie, I thought it was canon and I re-worded it. And what do you mean by "sensitive", you want me to yell at everyone? And we shouldn't be fighting over a silly thing like this, well not on Tigernose's talk page anyway, he dosen't need to see any fighting XD, but really your screaming like a two year old so just stop. This is settled, I took care of Vox's page. Neffy545 01:54, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Gleeman Vox
I seem to have found this information on an Insomniac R&C website, and thought it would be a good information for an article that looks bad. If what this user who came out of nowhere is telling the truth, then the website must've been a fans site, however, I firmly remember the site I got this from being canon. What should I do? And if i'm wrong I was indeed unaware that it was fanon, my apologies. I will fix up the Gleeman Vox's article as much as I can. Neffy545 22:45, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

And it was NOT copyied, it was simpily re-worded. Neffy545 00:19, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Can you only play All 4 One with 4 players or can you play it with one player as well?

Uploads
Hi Tigernose, when you upload images could you also put in a small description as well as source and license please. Also, please make sure all images are used. If it's for future articles (like many of the level images I suspect) please put them on a sub-page or something so they don't appear in the unused images page. Could you sort this for your recent uploads? (I've done the descriptions, they just need to be used) Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 15:37, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Source
Hello, if you could see my comment on Talk:Vacuum 4000 it'd be good, and the source there names lots of other enemies etc. I've not used the source anywhere on the wiki yet, except on the A4O article itself to source Commander Spog in the appearances, and it's also used on the Commander Spog article. On the A4O article the ref name is Kotaku. I'm not going to be updating A4O articles yet, (only checking edits, clean up etc). That's why I'm asking you to sort this out for me. Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 12:31, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Turns out it's also used on Creature Collecter. Some of your images may also have articles now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 12:45, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * I just hate the whole mandatory thing, it was the same with MyHome (although I found a way around that, no thanks to Wikia though). Wiki's are run by the community, they're supposed to be a community run thing. I understand Wikia is also a business but how is making a skin mandatory going to effect that? It makes little sense to me... <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:04, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Heroes on the Move weapons
Hey Tigernose

Shouldn't we remove the weapons on the Heroes on the Move article like the Alpha Cannon II and the RYNO VI Because I don't think they put weapons in like that.Or it would be the normal Alpha Cannon.

Videos
All videos on the A40 and HotM articles should only appear in the see also videos section, and should be links. Could you do me a favour and reupload all the videos for those articles only using ones from official channels - delete the unofficial channels. This is per our recent policy of only using R&Cwiki channel or official videos. This will also stop users from uploading videos from their channel to boost their views. Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 12:35, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Featured user and article?
I might be wrong but weren't you or any admins supposed change the old FA, A Crack in Time, to Vorselon? Since his article is already confirmed to be the FA and put the FU for this month? Or am I wrong and your supposed to do this next month or so? Neffy545 07:38, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. And, yes, I think it'd be a good idea to make it monthly again. And yeah, I am improving every day it seems hehe. Neffy545 13:25, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Oops, double-posted there. Sorry about that. Neffy545 23:46, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Tachyon's status
Hey Tigernose

I think Tachyon's status should be deceased and not unknown because he already falls from a high distance and even if he survived that there were a bunch of rocks falling with him and maybe on him

What do you think about that ?

Secret agent clank 10:55, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Videos
Generally I just remove unsourced info for upcoming games, particularly from anons. I meant we should list links to videos in the see also section, and not put videos in the articles themselves - they just cause conflicts. As per our recent policy change we only use videos from an official source, videos not available officially should be uploaded onto the R&C YT channel and then it can be used... Trouble is us admins haven't really discussed the channel properly yet. I think I'll add making an official policy to the agenda. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 14:04, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Court of Azimuth has just become a good article. I've given the awards to the relevant users however I'm not sure if I also deserve the award or not. These edits: are my contributions.

If you could let me know what you think it'd be appreciated. Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 14:54, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Some articles in question
These are things referred to once and can only be improved on with baseless speculation, or describe things that are fully intuitive and only take up space on the server.

Apogee Recycling System

Quantum Hellfire generator

Tornado Launcher/Guide

Tempest Launcher/Guide

Pause menu and all submenus

Asteroid Flinger 5000

All of the separate armor pieces from Size Matters (These can be merged with their respective armor in a list as most are redundant)

Raritanium weapon upgrades (These can be put into a list)

Basically most of the article removal would simply be getting very relevant articles into lists instead of forcing users to click on links and wait for the pages to load. Trust me, it helps a lot with user experience.

Administrative IRC meeting
Recent events on the Ratchet & Clank wiki and on other wikis has lead me to the conclusion that we need to have the first administrative meeting in the history of the R&C wiki. This would be an IRC meeting focusing on administrators - other users may attend but will not be personally invited (e.g. no sitenotice changes) to the meeting. It would be best for this to be as soon as possible. I think either this coming weekend or the weekend after (2nd or 3rd of October, or 9th and 10th). It would be a short meeting with no pre-set agenda as such (we will not be going through the IRC meeting agenda). It should last no more than an hour, although I expect it to be shorter. Please let me know what dates and times (in UTC) you should be able to attend both this weekend and next weekend so I can see what fits best for us admins! A response as soon as possible would be appreciated. Thanks, and sorry for the short notice. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 20:40, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

YOU LITTLE BIASED LITTLE PRICK! WHY DIDNT YOU BLOCK HIM OUT ASWELL YA FUCKING COCKSUCKER! I BET HE SUCKS YOU OFF! YOU LITTLE FUCKHEAD!

Heres what he wrote ya little biased fuck!

See, the funny thing is I know I'm older than you because of your low-level intelligence, misuse of insults and unfunny material. YOU are the one behaving like a 7 year old (I can't be a 7-year-old because they aren't even ABLE to get on this site, smart one). You keep using such bad insults and now you're crying over never having gotten your way. Stubborn much? And I didn't swear at you at all actually; you came onto other peoples' talk pages and started cursing us out for no reason when you were always the ONLY one who did ANYTHING wrong in that situation. Then, to prove your immaturity even more, you edited other peoples' messages to make them look bad when only a moron would think that we actually said that. It's OBVIOUS that you're crying over it and changed the messages to make yourself look cool and funny when really it's the exact opposite. Your jokes are TERRIBLE and your temper just plain sucks. Pathetic. You can't read ONE message without making changes to it; you KNOW what was actually said, and nobody is going to be impressed by what you edited, so what's the point anyway? You're just making yourself out to be a loser that way. Why don't you have the bravery to read a message and NOT change it? I bet you can't do it. Because you NEED to do that, which is just pathetic. It proves no point. Only that you're just so low under a regular human. And since we've established I didn't curse you out ONCE like you did to me and Hunterj and Tigernose (YOU EDIT YOUR COMMENTS WHICH IS JUST SAD, WE DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU LIAR), I'm actually more polite about it than you could EVER be, how am I a hypocrite? See, that proves even MORE that you're just a little uneducated kid, because you're using that word totally wrong. YOU are in fact the hypocrite, because you're doing all this cursing and change posts so much and say I'm cursing YOU out? I never did. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND USE THE WORD HYPOCRITE PROPERLY IN A SENTENCE. And you can make up stories all you want, because you clearly have nothing better to do. I have WAY more friends than you'll ever have because I go to a normal school with normal, cool people that I always chill with (cool people probably being a kind of people you've never met). You, however, probably get home-schooled and I bet you constantly forget what the sun looks like. I'm gonna guess Becker is your only friend? I dunno that's just me. And what makes you even MORE of a hypocrite (learn to use the word correctly, my child) is that you think it's a bad thing I edit on here when YOU edit on here. There is nothing wrong with this site or the people on it (excluding you and anyone with your foul personality). You obviously lie when you say there's something wrong with me editing on here, because YOU DO IT TOO. But again, I have WAY more friends than you and your guinea pig could ever hope to see in your lives. Get an attitude adjustment, learn that you're not always right (you haven't been right once this whole conflict!), stop having such a childish temper, use words properly in sentences, get FUNNY jokes and have the spine to let yourself read a message, accepting that that's what the person said, without editing it to look stupid when it's totally pointless and pathetic on your part. --Mateo22Nefarious Scarred.jpgContact 00:59, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You!
I'm grateful you finally blocked Lombax Warrior. Hopefully he isn't one of those smartasses who has a proxy server and tries causing trouble with more than one IP address. I doubt it, and frankly it wouldn't be worth his time, but let's hope, right? I'm sorry if you found it reckless of me for anything I said when I guess you could've handled the matter without me saying one word. I was merely trying to assist. So, are you ever going to let him back on? Because I personally don't think that would be a good idea, but it's not up to me. -- Mateo22 Nefarious_Scarred.jpg Contact 02:41, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Me and Neffy545 assume he was on drugs. Nobody would go THAT crazy THAT fast, just because someone kept reverting simple edits. All he had to do was put it in the IRC agenda. Then, it would have been settled and his request would have been formally refused, and maybe we'd get him to understand some way. But no. He assumed we were a hate group out to resent him when we were not at all. He doesn't have a place on here, because he is so selfish and immature (or as we think he needs to stop taking drugs). So how do you intend to take out your anger? -- Mateo22 Nefarious_Scarred.jpg Contact 17:18, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Blocking
Please block Gustavix2010. Their intentions here are obviously nothing more than ill-intentioned vandalism.

Custom js/css
They did what? Well, I didn't know about that, but the custom js looks for a "See also" section in an article and if it finds one, takes the first three links from there and replaces the auto-generated categories in the new "Read more:" thing with those links. It doesn't change the interface, just supplies the read more sections with more relevant links. I'm currently working on another that moves the good/featured article icon next to the name of the article instead of in it. I don't think that would violate their new Terms of Service. They say that you can't add "...javascript or CSS changes to the Service that would prevent the proper display or function of advertisements and/or user interface and functionality." -- Jxtreme  01:32, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Bringing the wiki back
The Ratchet & Clank Wiki has been a pretty inactive place recently. None of the admins are around, and most of the edits are users undoing anonymous edits. I saw your message on Hunterj's page, but I don't think we should "move." I don't really want to explain a lot, but look at the big wikis that moved—the readers didn't follow. Wikis are made to read, and if there's no one to read, why is there a wiki? This should be discussed, and as you mentioned, there are a lot of good reasons for moving. I'm just worried we won't actually move, just make a copy of the wiki somewhere else. Anyway, I think that the community needs to be more social. Embedding the freenode irc client (pre-set to #R&C) on the irc page can be done with some js. Also, a news blog or news page (if enabling blogs only for admins is not possible) would help keep everyone on the same page with what's going on on the wiki, be it user projects, policy changes, or Ratchet & Clank news. I can make a new theme, for thoughts on this see the IRC meeting agenda. See the IRC meeting agenda again for ideas to help with the many unproductive good-intention edits, and some other stuff. The main page needs to be redesigned (simplified and streamlined), now is the time for the "Explore" section to debut. Maybe enabling comments will encourage some nice casual discussion to make the community stronger? (The only problem with this is that it removes any link to the talk page; I'm looking into whether it would be against the new ToS to change that.) What are your thoughts? -- Jxtreme  00:15, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your kind words.

Moving is really what I want in terms of the amount of control we'll have over our own wiki. I just hate how often wikia changes things and don't give any warning to the communities. In terms of ensuring there's not two communities, I'd like to hear Hunterj's ideas, and I see if I can come up with some of my own. It's not really the community I'm worried about, as I said before, it's the readers, and the discoverablity of the wiki. The new CP wiki is sixth in Google for "Club Penguin Wiki," but I don't think anyone will click that when there's 5 results for clubpengin.wikia.com with a bunch or navlinks on the wikia wiki result. This wiki is currently #7 for "Ratchet & Clank," and I don't know if we'll be able to reestablish that place if we move—especially because wikia is so big. I see you guys have Vector, not Monaco, over at the CP wiki. Is this planned when we move too?

I'd really like to become an admin to help carry through with this "rebirth" effort and grow this community and the wiki into the ultimate Ratchet & Clank resource. Of course we should wait until the move to implement all of this new stuff—we don't want to build something up that we're going to leave anyway. In terms of blogs and fourms, I'd like to see the transition between a blog and the wiki or the fourm and the wiki go more smoothly, and be more integrated (be able to alert users there's a news update). Fourms are often pretty different than the wiki (fourms are not about wiki, but Ratchet & Clank in general)—so integration is not really something I'd see a problem there. I'm against user blogs as well, I can see how it becomes a problem.

Get that advice from Hunterj, and we'll see if we can try to get the stuff prepared for when we move later. -- Jxtreme  18:41, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, one last question: will the new wiki's url end in .info? Is it cheaper that way? You know, what I really want to do is to make a new skin. Theming monaco makes the wiki looks nice, but to really get control a unique skin would be great. Oasis was wikia's attempt to bring wikis into the modern web (some say web 2.0), and it is a terrible failure. I think I might be able to do better, but I'd have to learn php and some stuff about mediawiki. It'd take a lot of time and testing to get it just right, but I think it'd really make the wiki shine and make it easier to use. That's a really long term goal, but I'm just throwing that out there :) -- Jxtreme  20:46, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice. I'm thinking rcwiki.com or ratchetwiki.com. Like I said, a new mediawiki skin is a long term goal and a tentative one. While I was away, I learned a lot about interface design and design in general. I've actually been designing a "oasis redesign" since oasis was introduced, and I think it's a pretty good design—but still not fully resolved. Anyway, like I said that's a maybe for the far future—I'll be concentrating my effort on helping with the move and promoting the wiki for now. Is the move on hold until Hunterj gets back, then? Also, by advertising both ways do you mean purchasing ads on other sites or putting a banner in your fourm sig? -- Jxtreme  21:53, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Aminship and Wikia support
I'm sorry I have not been as active as I am as I usually am on the Ratchet and Clank wiki, I've recently started working on a new wiki me and M-Greg created and have been working alot of that wikia. Other than that, I had basically taken a break from wikias for a while. Now, I'm going to go back to editing the Ratchet and Clank wiki for while and I will start to help in the Wikia support you guys are planning. As you need another admin, I wouldn't mind becoming one for my vast edits, being capable of getting HD sceenshots, good grammar among editing articles, and of course, loyalty to the Ratchet and Clank series and competence in editing articles.  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 08:16, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

I understand. I hope Hunterj comes back on the wiki soon, being such a helpful admin and editor. I'll see what I can do to help improve articles and such. Much content needs to be added about the latest issues of the comic series, for example the third issue and fourth issue, and the fifth issue is already coming out next week. As I know, not many people have the comics yet, so it's understandable that alot people can't edit the comic series articles. Do you have any of the comics may I ask? Speaking of the comics, I also take HD screenshots the comics, as well, and I'm expecting to get some more uploaded to my computer next week for the third and fourth issues. If you ever need my help in collecting comic screenshots or any screenshots of the series at all, you can at any time ask me for some help, I'll be happy to help :).  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 20:03, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, that's what I have been doing with alot of articles. It wouldn't really work well if we uploaded the full page of the comic, as well. That's why I and Hunterj only uploaded stuff like character images for the comic characters, snippets from scenes with the characters, and of course, important scenes from the comics all together.  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 20:28, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Dreamhost and Communities
So I was going to see how the new Club Penguin wiki was doing versus the old one, and first of all, the site constantly gets a "505 Internal Server Error." You guys probably already know about that, but is this an issue that will also affect the new Ratchet & Clank wiki? Also, the preventing of two separate communities isn't really working; the old wiki is getting a lot more activity than the new one. Granted, a lot of it is vandalism and newbies trying to re-build the page because they don't know about the history button, but there are more people actively watching and reading the wikia one than the independent. Finally, you might want to protect the mainpage templates (at least on the new wiki when we move) because an ip somehow figured out how to edit them and vandalized the mainpage. (It's actually pretty funny.) -- Jxtreme  20:55, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * The vandalism happened on club penguin wikia. It's gone now. In terms of visitors, I've come up with a plan to attract visitors to the R&C wiki. Ok, so we get funds to purchase a A40 pre-order, or someone donates it. Then we hold a contest on the fanon wiki where you have to create an article about a weapon you designed, and thebest one gets the A40 preorder. We could post an announcement on the ig, ratchet galaxy, and starship phoenix fourms, and maybe even get a rg blog post or get dressoi/RatchetAndClankDude to do videos on it. Then we get noticed, and make sure to make it clear that the fanon wiki is a sub-wiki of the ratchet & clank wiki, and they'll visit the main wiki, and we have lots of visitors! We'll probably have to do it after the VPS upgrade, otherwise we'll have 505 errors all over the place, and visitors might not think the wiki is of good quality. What do you think? -- Jxtreme  03:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * That was my exact reaction what I had that idea. You actually patched up one of the parts of tat idea that I hadn't finished, which was how to make the transition from the fanon wiki to the main one. It's a great idea to say "Check the main wiki for tips and tricks on All 4 One and information on every character, weapon, planet, and more in the Ratchet & Clank universe!" That sounds kinda gimmick-y, but you get the idea. Anyway, the only other issue is the cost: $60, which might be hard to spare with the server costs. I'd donate, but I have no bank account or PayPal to send the money... Anyway, it gives us a target for when we should be up and running at full capacity--Q4 2011. Any word from Hunterj? --  Jxtreme  20:58, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool, I didn't know how the ads were going, $10 over a few weeks (?) seems promising. Haha, excitement is contagious. I think that if we have all of the entries categorized as "A4Ocontest," for example, or maybe put them in a separate namespace (ContestEntry: ?) so they don't show up in search (the not-showing-up-in-search might be confusing for newbies, yet useful to regular editors) on the wiki to separate them from canon content it'd work well. If we were going for categories, we could tell users to add something like to add the category and a notice how it's a contest entry, and non-canon. Then after the contest admins lock the articles and the template changes to say how articles can be continued on the fanon wiki. Or they could all be made to redirect to copies of the pages on the fanon wiki. (Hunter G-88 could do this, I think) Just tossing around some ideas. And the mention of PSN is making me think—if A4O has deathmatch, we could organize competitions on the wiki, or just organize co-op play. That'd be fun. Let me know if Hunterj responds... --  Jxtreme  01:36, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Contest
Ok, I meant the autocomplete. By default custom namespaces aren't included in search results. You can change that, but newbies wouldn't know that, so it'd work. What would the advantage of having entries as subpages be? Anyways, I don't think there would even need to be a tut, because you could use js to insert "Project:A4O Contest/" to the title when the submit button gets pressed. I think that the before mentioned

Totally agree with you on the robotic wiki vs thriving one. I don't think A4O will have deathmatch either, I'm just hoping it will :P Anyway, playing co-op with you, Hunterj and Neffy would still be fun but it's not as inviting for newbies. It's easier to fight with someone you don't know than it is to cooperate. If all of A4O is like the demo, I don't want it. Bland level design, weapons that are pickups, passing Boltergeists and throwing them, then finishing the level with a boss just isn't R&C. It seemed very linear, as you said, point A to point B and not really much else. The graphics seem to be a downgrade as well. I'm not a huge fan of cartoony graphics, but the colors are so bland and the shapes of the enemies, effects, etc. are so basic. Anyway, I trust Insomniac knows what they're doing and they said on PS blog that there's going to be another (hopefully different) demo in London and another at SDC in February, so we'll see. I didn't really play UYA multiplayer but I did with Deadlocked, and it was fun. It's a shame A4O probably won't have deathmatch, but I hope the co-op stuff they're doing will be good enough that it will almost make up for it.

I don't have Q4B, but if it's that good I'll get it. What Insomniac wants to do with A4O can't be done with a downloadable title (not enough space for all that co-op stuff), but it would make it seem more like a spin-off and therefore less of a hurt to the series if it doesn't work.

Here's to hoping Insomniac can make Ratchet & Clank co-op work! -- Jxtreme  20:28, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a new A4O trailer on the PS blog! http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/02/01/resistance-3-and-ratchet-clank-all-4-one-update/ -- Jxtreme  21:50, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

A4O
Sorry for the late reply. This game really makes the series look childish, it's like a 3D New Super Mario Bros Wii, especially with the "competitive cooperative" stuff. The humor has been reduced to some big tentacle creature choking on something. I mean, I was editing the Tabora walkthrough the other day and came across the New Age Mystic. What happened to "Possession is an illusion. Do not all things belong to the cosmos?" "Uh, no. That's definitely my ship." I hope it'll still be fun, but there are a lot of other games coming out this year: Uncharted 3, inFamous 2, the list goes on and on. I really wish they'd go back to the standard formula. I miss the old music too. The Future story arc was pretty cheesy, and I didn't laugh at it one time, but the gameplay was still R&C, and now even that's going to be gone. The weapons still seem to be there. The Warmonger looks like an R&C weapon, but I'm not so sure about the name. Like I said before, I still think this game will be fun to play with the co-op as a once-in-a-while thing, and I trust Insomniac can make this feel a bit more like R&C as we get more info.

Anyway, back to the move. I'm guessing Hunterj isn't responding...there's not really much to do until he does, right? -- Jxtreme  18:05, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

A4O article
Greetings, Tigernose. Good news, there is more news and updates on Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, however, I am unable to edit All 4 One's article due to it being protected from noobs adding pointless speculative information among more. Hopefully this will not continue, but even so if you could, please unprotect the article so I may add the extra information we have.

It contains a new level on Planet Magnus with new gameplay, new enemies, and new weapons, too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orpOSwSYLf4.

FA update template fix
Ok, I noticed wasn't working. I fixed it, however do you approve of what I did? If not, you are free to rollback it. And by the way, I've also noticed that the infobox templates are copied from Wookiepedia. I don't personally think this is good as they are hard to code for and look too much like Wookiepedia. Shall I bring this up in an IRC discussion or this there another place to bring this up?--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 21:29, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Also, perhaps this version was better than the current one? If so feel free to revert it to that.--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 21:35, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Non-canon Template
Hello again, Tigernose. I've been wanting to suggest an idea to you about a new template. As your know, there are some non-canon Ratchet and Clank games, including Ratchet &amp; Clank: Going Mobile, Ratchet and Clank: Clone Home (which was cancelled anyway), Secret Agent Clank, and presumably PlayStation Move Heroes. We still, of course, need to cover these games because they are still Ratchet and Clank games although non-canon, that is why I think at some point, we should make a Non-canon template for those games and keep all the information from the game on that game's article and nothing else.  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 22:52, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the late replie (I was on vacation), but yeah, I found out we did have a non-canon template already. But what do you think of my idea to keep all non-canon information from the games (Plot lines, characters, etc) on the game's article page itself so as the viewers don't get confused with the continuity?  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 22:25, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Has anyone ever noticed that you don't get to see a lot of civilians in Ratchet and Clank? The most pictures I ever saw of them was in the comics! Also in a Crack in Time you get to see the Vullards, Fongoids, and the Terrachnoids on their native planets. Oh and in Quest for Booty you get to see the Holofoids on there natural world. Anyone know when we might see more Cazars other than Sasha and her father because you don't get to see anymore in the comics which was a huge disappointment!Peter17982 01:00, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One story trailer
Hey, Tigernose, just wanted to show you in case you didn't see it yet the brand new Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One story trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj08ASDmOF8. The game's certainly starting to look better!  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 00:44, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I loved that part! In my opinion, it was mainly the graphics of the game that made it look childish in the first place and the fact that the set up at first looked pretty babyish. I heard that the humor will be comparable to that of the PS2 game's humor, which as most of us know, got really mature. The sponge joke actually made me laugh in the trailer. All together, it's safe to say All 4 One will be more on the humor side of the Ratchet and Clank games rather than the more dramatic and dark feel from the Future series and comics thus far. By any chance, have you been able to read the comics yet by the way?  Neffy545 Errol_(1).jpg Command center 21:41, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Template/Friends
Hi there, this is Shrev64, admin of the Sly Cooper Wiki (sly.wikia.com). I was wondering if our wiki and your wiki could be official friends. Also, is it safe to remove the "Future Games" Template off of PlayStation Move Heroes? Might I note that your prank doesn't work with this relatively new skin?

Vandalism
Hello, Tigernose. I just thought I should tell someone that this Unregistered Contributor deleted everything on HunterJ's User page, and put a few grotesque comments on it. I cannot revert or block, and you are really the only active admin left. I should also mention that a user called Thunder Bomb has done very similar things to Kurtskywalker's page, but I will leave him a message, of he wanted to take care of that. So, thanks 19:35, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hunterj and break until Move
Greetings, Tigernose. I'm sorry to say, but until the Wikia move is at hand, I won't be on the Ratchet and Clank wiki as much. I'm not saying I'm leaving and don't want to edit, but things have just been going slow for me Wikia wise. All in all, I've been so busy that I haven't been able to get much done.

Officially sponsored by Sony?
I can't believe this. This probably has to do more with Wikia than us, but go to the character's section on the official Ratchet & Clank website. Now click on the of the links in the bios. Can you believe it? It's insane. This makes me kinda hesitant to move, but I'm pretty convinced that this was a deal between Wikia and Sony, and it has less to do with the wiki's quality. That also explains the recent increase in traffic. I'll contact Wikia, but if anything this shows the need for the new wiki to be 10x better than Wikia. I must say, a custom skin is a must, though coding and maintaining a skin is a...difficult task. Your thoughts? — Jxtreme   My talk  01:24, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Aphelion
You are correct. However, we can't be sure yet, because we haven't seen her anywhere else in the game, and from the eye view it did look like it was her final appearance, because she appeared to be crushed and drained of energy (The Light-Eating Z'Grute can drains energy).

Other Apperances
Since Ratchet & Clank characters appear in other games which are not part of the Ratchet & Clank Canon, should we list the apperances, like:

Ratchet and Clank in Everybody's Golf and Jak X.

Nefarious, Slag, Drek, Lawrence, Blarg Troopers and Bucaneers in Playstation Home Firing Ranges.

DrNefarious 05:29, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Gleeber and Lunk
Tigernose, should we make an article for Gleeber & Lunk on this wiki, they are not Jak & Daxter or Sly Cooper characters and are very important to the PlayStation Move Heroes storyline also do you think that the robot that attacks Ratchet in the opening cutscene of playstation move heroes has some relation to either the Enforcers or the B2 Brawler, it has multiple similarities to the two.

We also need to create Category pages for certain characters in games like: Going Commando characters, Size Matters characters, Secret Agent Clank characters and All 4 One characters.DrNefarious 13:21, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
