This is the third archive for my old talk page messages. DO NOT POST NEW MESSAGES HERE.

Current talk page: here

Welcome back!
Hey Haydos, it's nice to see you again! The new required wikia skin is a pain, but I think you're referring to the Rich Text Editor the wikia made default. Under "Rich Text Editor" in your preferences, uncheck "Enable Rich Text Editor." We're planning to move off of wikia sometime soon, but we're waiting on Hunterj. He's gone again. btw, what do you think of A4O? -- Jxtreme  18:36, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome Back!
It's nice to see you back. We need more editors if we're going to keep the wiki...usable. Believe it or not, wikia's new skin attracted a lot of new readers—who seem to be around 10 years old and inadvertently destroy pages.

I've also been thinking about the wiki's layout, and I don't think that giving each skill point its own article is the best choice. I know you've been working away at this, and I should have mentioned it sooner. Basically, it adds a second step to find out how to accomplish a skill point: first, find it on the list, then click on the link. It'd be much easier to read if there was a list with all of the skill points in a game and their requirements, and the current skill point articles were re-purposed as redirects to those entries on that main skill points page. I'm also thinking that skill point walkthroughs duplicate what already exits in the skill points section of planet walkthroughs, so maybe redirects or templates would help here. Your thoughts?

Sorry for that un-welcoming welcome. I hope you understand. Anyways, welcome back! Also, what's the link to your fanfiction? — Jxtreme  16:04, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just saw that you asked how to make a talk page archive a while ago. I'd assume you'd make a page called User talk:Haydos271/Archive1 and copy/paste your current talk page into there. Then you could empty your talk page a put a link to the archive(s) at the top. — Jxtreme  16:07, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know what you're saying. Anyways, I don't think it'll be changed but I'd like to see it happen. Later, — Jxtreme  01:01, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
The old team is going to be returning at the end of June thankfully, so we're going to be a fresh new wiki very soon! I'm really happy for your return and I hope you enjoy your returning stay here :D -- Tigernose  •  Chat  •  Edits  16:53, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
I'd really love to kickstart it as well! Considering Hunterj is coming back at the end of June, we could start it for July. I just don't think we're ready for it without a large enough administration at the moment, although it's definitely a priority soon.

Thanks for reminding me about it as well, otherwise I would have forgot completeley :D -- Tigernose  •  Chat  •  Edits  00:54, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Greetings
Hello Haydos271. As you said, we have not yet met. This was the first Wiki I ever edited on, and I edited here for about two months in 2010 (I came just a few weeks before the Monaco to Oasis switch). I then left, but I kept checking back, and I realized that as no "Featured" things were changing, so I realized the Wiki was going inactive. So, I started editing here again. Thank you for the message, and I will stay here for a while to help out.

P.S. Even if I do "put you to shame", I still do not act as if this was a contest, but it does make me feel good :)  DaRanger ( Chat With Me ) 16:32, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

All 4 One content
Hey Haydos. I'm an admin! Also, most All 4 One content is written extremely poorly (anons wrote most of it). If you could help out with it, it'd be awesome. I'm pretty tired to editing All 4 One stuff. Examples are: King Sepaid, Terawatt Forest, Oktonok Reef, and Sheep Morph Mod. I've already asked DaRanger to help out with this, so it might be fixed by the time you read this. — Jxtreme   My talk  19:18, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you want to know about A41, read the A41 page. I wrote, like, the entire thing. It's awesome. :) — Jxtreme   My talk  01:57, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Discussion topics
There are now forum discussions for some of the topics on the IRC agenda. (There aren't enough active users for a meeting.) Could you add your opinion to the discussions? — Jxtreme   My talk  03:07, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * You and Tigernose both? Get well soon! See ya, — Jxtreme   My talk  04:57, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Nominations for Official Friends
Hi there Haydos271. I'm Shrev64, the admin at the Sly Cooper Wiki. I noticed your comment in the Ratchet & Clank wiki:Official friends/Nominations page. I would like to ask which other Sly Cooper Wiki this wiki is affiliated with, because I see no links to that particular wiki. Thanks, and it is nice to meet you. 07:42,10/29/2011

Re: Nomination
Thanks, Haydos. I accept, it is a great honor for me. This is one of the best Wiki's and the only Wiki I'm currently editing on at the moment. The Ratchet and Clank Wiki always seems to gradually improve each day and it certainly puts a smile on my face.  Neffy545 Zurkons!.png Minister of Editing 08:33, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back! I'm not really that active, but I'm here doing admin stuff for now. Yeah, I think those should get sorted. Also, I think it's pretty clear that PS Move Heroes should be non-canon. We could get to sorting that out too with articles. -- HiQu Talk to me! 12:44, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello! How are you? Well, my name is Malllo(my real name is Gustavo), I am brazilian and I like the Ratchet & Clank games very much :D I played my first Ratchet & Clank game in 2009 when I bought my psp 3000. I liked the game so much that I bought almost every other in the series! As I don't have a ps2 in my house, every Sunday I go to my dad's house and play Ratchet & Clank 1 and 2. They're the only games I play on it, actually :P That is why I've comed to this wiki!

I am also creating the portuguese Ratchet & Clank wiki, if you don't know. Check it out if you are interessed :)

I think that I had already seen your profile, but I saw it when you were inactive. But thanks for your message and welcome back!

bye

Malllo 14:11, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hey!
Hey Haydos.

I'm gonna try and keep this short. For the last year I've been trying to maintain the wiki, but because I'm the only (semi)-active admin (at least until HiQu has been helping out recently) - coupled with the lack of free time I have now - I've been having trouble staying on the wiki and administrating it.

Usually I commit myself to working on the wiki, but after a few weeks the pressure really piles on and I take a prolonged break. Unfortunately this leaves the wiki in real bad state every month. Seeing as you have been extremely helpful recently, and the fact you have years of experience, I'd love to give you administrator rights!

Not only will this help the wiki as a whole, I'd also be more motivated to actively edit and admin seeing as there is more than one administrator, and will put us back in the position of being the active wiki we were 2 years ago.

I would have done this a lot earlier, but I have no bureaucrat rights on the wiki ever since Hunterj left.

I don't know what the situation with Hunterj is unfortunately. He's on PSN all the time, but he seems to have left Ratchet & Clank behind (at least for now), which I totally understand. Of course we can't rely on the former administration anymore, so I'm going to take action now.

With an expanded administration, we can also decide on things a lot better. Community projects will be better organised and rules with be better enforced. I really believe that if you have administrator rights, the wiki will be a far better place. Deciding important things regarding the wiki is very difficult without input of fellow administrators.

We screwed up with the launch of All 4 One (I had taken a break from the wiki because my PS3 YLOD right when I got A4O :P) and there many untidy articles at the moment. We can't afford another mess with the release of the HD Collection.

I hope you accept my request! If you do, I will get in contact with Wikia right away. :)

-- Tigernose  •  Chat  •  Edits  17:59, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. I didn't keep it short, sorry lol :(

Re:
Thank you so much for accepting this request. I will get on with contacting Wikia. Also, Hunterj had messaged me on PSN saying that he currently has very little time to edit. In this case, I will try and get more administrators.

I will be more than happy to give you a lowdown of administrator features. I also want to set up a plan so we can approach the release of the HD Collection appropriately, and can also improve the current articles we have too.

As if we didn't have enough work on our hands, Insomniac announced another R&C game similar to Q4B! Only a small post has been released so the article at the moment is quite small.

Thank you for developing the trophy page, there is definitely a lot of work to be done there.

One big issue on my mind at the moment, is if we should add a link to the Trilogy, in the 'Appearances' section of the PSN games?

This among other things would be best discussed in some sort of IM chat. Do you have a Steam account? I think it will be easier to discuss stuff in Steam than in IRC.

Thanks,

-- Tigernose  •  Chat  •  Edits  18:49, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, contrary to what I told Tigernose I will be fairly active now, and will keep at least my talk page up to date if I ever need to go inactive again in the near future (which is unlikely). Sorry for essentially abandoning the wiki for a while, I have tried to communicate with Tigernose a little bit but I've had very limited time in the last year and a half. I agree that we could use another active administrator. Despite the inactivity on the site, I would like to follow the nominating procedure if you agree, which I believe there would be no issue in you progressing through. The only question I have is the inactivity between:

 * 11:44, 29 January 2012 (diff | hist) Static Deathtrap


 * http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions?limit=500&target=Haydos271


 * I can hardly talk about inactivity, I just want to check that there was just something going on and your return isn't temporary! Thanks for your continued dedication with the wiki and your contributions. If you would like to discuss anything else with me please leave me a message on my talk page and perhaps we could also have a discussion on the IRC at some point.

Re:Nomination
Excellent, I just wanted to check what your intentions are that's all. I've asked Tigernose if he'd like to nominate you and then I'll add to it. Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:49, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
YES! :D It would be a great honor to be nominated thank you soo very much :D I will not stop my hard work and dediciation to this site.

Ryno4ever 13:14, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. I put your nomination at the Requests for user rights page. I think someone is going to be an admin :D

Also, I just wanted to say that I have not been nomitaded or received any prize yet. I put that featured user template in my profile but, as I was getting ready to travel, I forgot to take it out :P I only remembered now, with these nominations being back again. I know that I shouldn't had done this, but I was new to the wiki, and I just wanted to see if the template would work on my profile. Anyways, sorry for this :P

bye

Malllo 02:39, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
That's awesome news! My PS3 went YLOD when I played All 4 One for the first time, so I was unable to contribute any information about it to the wiki for a few months. Thanks for helping out with A4O articles Haydos! -- <font face="Tahoma">Tigernose  •  <font face="Aharoni">Chat  •  <font face="Aharoni">Edits  15:30, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

R&C Collection
Hi, just thought I'd let you know that we're not counting R&C collection under appearances as it's simply a real world compilation of existing games. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:20, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Except the trophies of course, but they are also 'real-world' items as opposed to in-universe. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 16:21, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Deletion
Thanks, deleted the page now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 17:40, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Request for administrative privileges
Congratulations on your successful request for administrative privileges. You are now an administrator on the Ratchet & Clank wiki! Please let me know if you need any help. You may wish to add the admin template to your userpage or at least add the relevant category. Your access rights have been updated to sysop. Kind regards, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 14:23, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the what's up! I will remember to contact you if I encounter a problem. Also, I'm very happy to be here! so thanks and like i said, i will keep in touch.

Main page
Just thought I would let you know that I'll be updating the main page content (featured article, user etc) on 1st July. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 14:51, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Good Timing
I just noticed this, and figured you'd have a bit of a laugh at it like I did. Somehow, at almost the exact same moment, we both undid the Ratchet & Clank gold bolts edit (the one that removed pictures). I guess you hit enter a few seconds earlier, because yours went through first. Great minds think alike, eh? lol

Divine Paladin 22:44, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * If the dice roll that way, I guess! I got a good chuckle out of it, so that's more than I expected out of an edit.  I mean, what are the odds, right?  Divine Paladin Talk to me!  07:11 June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Re: A4O Project
I noticed your comment to Hunterj about starting a User Project to add/fix pages on A4O. If you do start one, let me know; I still have the game and would definitely be able and glad to help. Divine Paladin 08:06, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. Actually, the messiness in A4O was the reason I joined the wiki! (Ironically I'm still missing that Hero Bolt I was looking for...) That's what I meant to work on initially, but I got sidetracked working on other pages that I forgot until I saw that you brought it up. Side note: Don't worry about the Comic Issue 4 Plot if you were going to work on it. I put the stub (by mistake) note there because I was working on the Ratchet page for the Comics, and was going to get to it once I was done (i.e. now).
 * Sounds like a good idea. Link me in once you've created it so I can check formatting etc. I won't be of much use as I don't have the game, so I won't join in with the project but I agree that something needs to be done. It reminds me of our Deadlocked articles a few years ago. While they aren't perfect they're a lot better now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 14:14, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I just signed onto it! I may not be able to do much this weekend (I have family over), but I should be playing through A4O quite a bit next week.  Divine Paladin 14:41, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Welcome
We've set the Wikia auto-welcome on and set it so that it leaves the user name of the last admin to edit. It's a more personal touch and yet it's still useful as it should be linking to an active admin. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:16, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * You should visit our IRC more often! Especially now you're an admin. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 22:53, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Short Vacation with a good reason
No problem. Thanks for letting me know. Please use the vacation template and, where possible try and check your talk page where you can - don't worry if you can't though. Thanks for your help, good luck and we'll see you again soon. Kind regards, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 17:55, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. That's good to hear! The Collection doesn't have much new content thankfully, I say thankfully purely because new content in relation to existing older content can be messy... I'm hoping Deadlock's upcoming HD re-release will inspire some more Deadlock related editing which I think we could do with really. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 15:42, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!

Featured user
Hi Haydos, just looking at the archive, and was I the featured user for July 2011 ? I can't say I remember that, in fact I think I was inactive at that point. Thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 15:45, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Re:Featured User
OK thanks, I've changed it to nil now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:10, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Wanted pages
Yes, ideally we should remove unnecessary and inappropriate broken links. I do occasionally remove some, when I find a few minutes... The key thing is that whenever you remove a broken link from a user page or user talk page you leave a comment on the user's talk page briefly explaining (even if they're inactive). This isn't so much of an issue for user sub pages though, or talk page archives. On all pages however always leave a comment in the edit summary. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:10, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK. It's not a priority but it needs to be done, so if you feel like it then great! By the way, you may already know this but TH can be used for any wanted talk pages that aren't in the user namespace. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 19:17, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thought you might be interested in this: Ratchet & Clank wiki:Featured article. I'd also appreciate some activity in relation to: Ratchet & Clank wiki:Good article nominations if you get a minute, just a quick vote and/or comment.

Re:IRC meeting?
I was thinking about an IRC meeting, but I'm not sure we'd get great attendance. As some of our admins are actually around still just not regular editors etc I was thinking the forum system similar to the one used in the past might work. A sub forum for each issue on the agenda, and then a meeting general forum for proposing new sub agendas. I was thinking of setting it up and then having something like a two week period for other discussions to be suggested and then a further two weeks before all forums are closed and either moved to an ongoing discussion or implemented accordingly. We definitely need to sort something out though and I'd be interested in your opinion. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 13:56, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

GA
Thanks for voting on the GA nomination. I'd appreciate you looking at http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Ratchet_%26_Clank_Collection?offset=&limit=500&action=history and specifically at edits before 13th July 2012. I've given DrNefarious the award for helping to create the good article. I'd appreciate your opinion on whether I'm entitled to the award for this article and also if Tigernose is. Please be completely honest about it as I won't be offended either way, just have a look at the edits made and let me know if you think either/both of us have made large enough contribution to the article to allow for the award. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 17:22, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll setup a forum system for 23rd July, with a section to recommend new discussions. Then on 1st August we can open the system. I'll make sure the forum links to our other forum system. Thanks for looking at the GA info as well. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:41, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Just thought I'd say thanks for covering all the trophies! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:05, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Why were the changes I made removed?
Why were the changes I made to the R&C Collection trophies page removed? I'm not mad or anything, I'd just like to know why my work was erased. As far as I can tell, all I did was add images to the list of trophies, which seemed like a good way to help people find which trophy they were looking for.

IncredibleMeh (talk) 11:11, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for answering my question Haydos! As you might have guest already, I'm kinda new here, so it was sort of inevitable I'd make a few mistakes. I'll make sure not to add any major changes without permission from now on.

I look forward to developing a good relationship with everyone helping edit the wiki, and I'll help out when I can!

IncredibleMeh (talk) 14:24, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

I'll be fixing editing and making pages for everything that has to do with Multiplayer and fix all of the red links as well as uploading images/screenshots.

Someone seems to have thought it funny to hack my acount and make it seem like I'm making promises. I assure you, I was not the one who typed the message about fixing multiplayer, I don't know what's going on here...

IncredibleMeh (talk) 11:57, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

You need to delete the article "Death Valley". It doesn't exsist in the Ratchet & Clank series. Maybe the person who made the article meant "Danger Valley", an article I created. Thank you.

Also, where is the chatroom? How do I know whose online?

Image Policy
Friezafire (talk) 11:51, August 17, 2012 (UTC)Friezafire

So I know that you guys have an image policy but the site really needs a lot of images for a lot of articles so do you guys think you can overlook the image policy a bit?

Also, Hunterj said he would delete my Danger Valley image that I found off of the official playstation blog if I don't give it a source or license. I have no clue how to give the image a source but I do have the link for it. How do I avoid getting the image deleted?

User page
Just letting you know that someone vandalised your user page. I banned the anon and reverted the edit, nothing major just removing content. It's all dealt with so you don't need to do anything, I'm just letting you know as I edited your user page. Some administrators like to protect their user page, personally I don't as I think it goes against the wiki ethos and is very easy to revert/ban etc if needed. But the choice is yours. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:45, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
