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
I have a feeling this user is a sockpuppet (Clankmario being his second account). If you look at the user page history of User:Clankmario89 and the undelete version of Alec, you can see why.

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)

Vandal (again!)
Yeah, some annoymus user (http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/User:24.13.135.218) vandalized some stuff, including deleting all content from your userpage. I reverted it. -- Jxtreme  22:11, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Arctic Leviathan unsourced picture is deleted from its source
Hi, after some research I found out that the unsource Arctic Leviathan picture was from Sony's website along with the rest of the enemies, however the pages used were deleted, so if you come across any more pictures like that, can you please delete them with the Arctic Leviathan picture?

I'm not sure if I can make it, because a family matter is happening on the weekend. I hope it's Sunday, but it might be Saturday. Apart from that, I will be awake early enough to attend. HaYdOs271 Chat to me! ??? 00:49, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

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.

 * User:Nifky

Copying templates, how to?
How do you copy the code for a template to a new page completely with the code for the template staying as plain text?

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 meetings
So far so good! Thanks for helping me through it, and I will attend! Two admins (you and Nifky) are going to be there to, so this is all straightened out. Let's keep in touch on the IRC meetings page, PacBoyCraZ  My talk page 03:06, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10:45? Oh f***! Just got logged on to the IRC as well (I'm still going to be there though), actually about that, do I have to do that whole log-on thing each time I come on?  The b-Unit's  167th Drophyd  20:08, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Crate names!
OK, they're called Massive crates. Source being the ACiT strategy guide. We also need an article on Metal crates - the ones wrenches can't break open. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 13:34, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

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)

Template
Yeah you could do it, so it gets right at the first time. I tried but it kinda failed (only templates that I can make are userboxes and infoboxes). -- Tiku-Orava 18:06, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

user name
I am realy rergreting my name i wish i could change it

the user name on my mind is the iron klunk(spoof of iron giant)

Fake page and Vandilizam
A user created a fake article called Wolf and also vandilized three articles but i fixed them. That Wolf article needs to be deleted though because it has nothing but Fan-Fiction on it and it's junk. Neffy545

"Trio of Zoni" dispute
Would you be able to comment on a debate on the page Trio of Zoni, a page which I personally think has no reason to exist. You'll see why if you read the comments. It would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Mateo22 Nefarious Scarred.jpg Contact 21:13, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
