stuff
Hello, with voter apathy on forums at pretty much an all-time high, I was thinking of getting Wikia to enable the new forums with just the discussion that has happened so far. After asking around a lot, people are generally in favour.

The only issue is that (for now), we'd need to enable message walls as well. That requirement will be removed in a month, so we can remove them again then. I don't like the message wall myself, but trying it for a month hardly hurts imo. Please let me know what you think. 14:04, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

AlexHawks IP check
Can you compare IPs of AlexHawks and DamageOverTime, I don't need to know them I just have a feeling they're the same person and Alex is using a sockpuppet to avoid his ban. Vacuumen (talk) 21:58, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Blogs
Hi Neon,

I just came to ask you about a certain issue. It's about a series of blog posts that I made which just recently is needed to be compiled to only one big post. Though I see no violations of the said posts, nor are they spam/floods. I wanna hear your opinion about this. I also wanna know if there are restrictions on the number of posts or the quality of posts allowed in the wiki. Thank you and have a nice day.

P.S. the blog post is the series of Hype on Skins I'm currently on the fourth entry and I can't continue until I receive any confirmation on wether it is in violation of anything and if the other posts are needed to be deleted.

Howing Abyss Typo
Hey NeonSpotlight, Thanks for taking my suggestions for adding things to the drop-down menus like with Mythical items. I wasn't sure if you were aware, but when you attempted to add Howling Abyss to the Fields of Justice menu you misspelled "Howling" and the link takes us to a completely different page. When you have a chance could you correct this please? Thanks again and talk to you later. Wolf&#39;s Scar (talk) 20:20, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Can u tell me why my image get always deleted?

Sorry for disconnecting in that match, the internet suddenly started to act up. May have been a problem with the router. I'm sure that I wasn't needed to win the match, though :P Andrew.heo1  ( Talk )

Hey there.

Mind restoring this blog post here?

Ability Details
Would it be possible to implement a trial version of your Champion/Ability Details hybrid pages for Lucian? His kit is uniquely complicated that having that information available on the top-page would be very useful for readers. I would do it myself (better to ask forgiveness than permission style), but there are no videos yet and I don't know how to upload videos even if there were. Emptylord (talk) 00:03, July 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Done 04:10, July 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * The results are almost unanimously in favour and I predict that the poll will continue in such a fashion. I propose that once Lucian's page is added to the beta website--assuming that the poll results don't change--we should mark it as a successful trial and get to work on implementing? (I set that date so that we have access to videos for all champions) ^_^ Emptylord (talk) 01:43, July 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright. Speaking of implementation I propose we start by creating pages separate from the actual champion pages with the ability details in place and just copy+paste/merge them into the champions pages all on one day. This way we can use a bot to delete all of the ability details pages at once and we won't have to use two separate c-top templates like we did when we first implemented the ability details pages.

Likewise, we can start uploading champion ability videos ahead of time so they're all ready for when we do the switch. 02:49, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been adding some of the ability videos myself but none of them have proper thumbnails. They all display broken links despite the fact that the video will run when you press play. Anyway that the thumbnails can be made? The broken link image might lead people to believe that the video won't work.IONDragonX (talk) 04:58, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ability_Details/Aatrox has some issues witht he Q text covering the Additional Info and his W breaking. Also, the url to ogv converter is so much easier than downloading and uploading and downloading and uploading, I'm so blind. 04:10, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * His W broke because you didn't format the existing template correctly. ;) The only solution to the overlap problem would be to add padding at the bottom of the levelling - I'll see what I can do. Emptylord (talk) 11:16, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. If there is an ability details section, it will add a padding-bottom to the main section for the Additional Info button to sit in. Emptylord (talk) 11:22, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Are the pages on Ability Details to be filled in? Emptylord (talk) 16:18, July 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I figured that would the best way to keep them organized. 21:18, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming there are macros that can auto-update many pages in sequence, but the only issue I have with updating the Ability Details pages is simply that the template names are linked to my own personal templates. But at the same time, I don't want to replace the "Template:Ability Details" with the new one unless there's a way to hide all the Ability Details pages (which would break instantly). Emptylord (talk) 00:55, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Imo, you should use "I" for Innate, instead of Passive. I consider this distinction necessary to differentiate between each champion's "innate" ability and any other "passive" abilities that they have. 18:21, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Someone else can change that one. ^_^ Emptylord (talk) 18:43, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

MOBA Showcase
Hey there Neon!

In case you didn't know, one of Wikia's recent things has been to record expert showcases with wikians about particular subjects. We've talked about everything from Apocalyptic storytelling to E3 debriefs. We recently thought it would be interesting to discuss the state of MOBAs today, especially since they seem to be popping up everywhere.

I was wondering if you would be interested in participating sometime next week! It's simple. We record over Google Hangouts, so the only thing you need is some time, a webcam, and a internet connection better than a toaster. If you're interested, let me know, I'm sending this to a couple other folk, but we'd love to have you!

Videos
So how does one upload videos? The given instructions when I click "Add video" is to paste the URL, but when I try "https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/riot-web-cdn/champion-abilities/videos/0266_01.mp4" for Aatrox's passive - it says "unsupported content provider". I'm guessing I need to upload it somewhere else first - where do you use? Emptylord (talk) 23:54, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Moderation Requests
Do you know of any reason why I've suddenly started receiving moderator-type requests? Has my name been published in some list of "people to talk to"? I mean, I wouldn't object to have the ability to respond to those people, I was just curious as to why in the last week I've had 2 people come to me. ^_^ Emptylord (talk) 17:08, August 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Probably people just remember seeing your name on popular blog posts like the PBE Status and just assume since you're so popular you're automatically a mod who can help them with their issues. I'd consider it a compliment for all your hard work :3  17:11, August 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * But then I feel bad I can't actually help. ;) Emptylord (talk) 17:21, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Documenting Liandry's Torment in Ability Details
Hello NeonSpotlight! I recently added a section to the Ability Details forum thread suggesting that we should include into the documentation for spell effects. Long story short, it's a spell effect just as valid as spell vamp or slow, with the caveat that its actual damage differs a lot for every individual ability. The calculation for it is pretty reliable, but hard to perform on the fly, which is why not documenting it feels wrong. If you want, I could produce an example page, and do the calculations and documentation myself for every current ability detail section. --Willbachbakal (talk) 07:22, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've stated my opinions on when you asked me. My major objection is that (a) it isn't hard to perform "on the fly" - simply ask yourself "is my targeted cc'd" and (b) it's only easy to calculate out-of-game because on paper there's no extra conditions (and Liandry's loves conditions). However, I may have a better solution. Neon - how do you create templates similar to the champion-profile/data templates. I would like to create one for each of the crowd control effects. In that, Ability Info has a field called "cc=" and if you put "blind" it draws some information about blind. (This is where I would put Liandry's information - i.e. "Impairs movement"). I could just have a huuuuge if-loop, but I'd rather just created Template:Data_Blind (because then the Blind information can be drawn up on any article required). Emptylord (talk) 11:58, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * You'd have to ask Bryght or Proton, the data templates are voodoo black magicks to me. 13:31, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a flaw in my plan - skills that apply multiple crowd control types. Also, the amount of information is now quite long. Is it possible to create more graphical ? Such as an on-mouse-over image, or div? Emptylord (talk) 13:33, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Can we store the ability data? e.g. "Soul Shackles|cd=120/110/100|cost=100 mana|cast=0.5|range=600|effs=2|eff1=multitarget damage from self to champion, multitarget slow from self to champion|eff1_damage=175/250/325 (+0.7AP) magic|eff1_slow=20%|eff2=deal damage, stun|eff2_req=tether|eff2_damage=175/250/325 (+0.7AP) magic|eff2_stun=1/1.5/2|tether_duration=3|tether_range=1050". --BryghtShadow 23:12, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that's getting excessive. If we ever come up with a reasonable template to store every champion's abilities, then the fear of LoL's champions becoming homogeneous has come true. In fact, please don't even try to create a reasonable template. :O Emptylord (talk) 23:16, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Comments Problem
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Master_Yi_Concept_by_SlashingStrike

it seems the comments are disabled and i dont know how to enable them

it says to sign in but i already sighned

how do i solve that problem?

!Important!
I would like to talk to you and it cannot be said here, it's rather important.

If you could start opening the chat to see if I'm on it while you work on the wikia that'd be really helpful.

Hope to talk to you soon

Videos Opportunity?
Hey there Neon (I'm also sending this to TehAnonymous),

Wikia might have the opportunity to produce/have produced some short form videos for various communities. Since I play a lot of LoL and I'm around here now and then, I figured I would ask if this opportunity would interest you and the LoL community. Basically, we could provide custom videos on anything from character profiles for bew players, a glossary of videos for mechanics like Laning, etc. Of course we would include you all in the process if you wanted, so really if the idea of short videos for article pages is interesting, we're happy to here your ideas too.

If you can think of anything or have any feedback, let me know on my talk page!

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:44, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Neon
Hey Neon. Thanks for the opportunity you've given to me for administrating this wiki, but lately I've been realising how poorly I've been managing the stress from babysitting the randoms you promoted last year. As such, I would like to resign from this position effective immediately. Thanks. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb1366976924/common/avatars/thumb/e/ee/1445357.png/20px-1445357.png LionsLight(talk) 03:17, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * It is your right to de-admin yourself. Special:UserRights/LionsLight. Will you be sticking around? 04:02, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, forgot that self-rights changes were allowed for sysops. Thanks for the reminder, Teh. And yes, I'll be sticking around, though editing activity will be dropping significantly (although that was already on a declining trend up to this point) http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb1366976924/common/avatars/thumb/e/ee/1445357.png/20px-1445357.png LionsLight(talk) 04:46, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion
Is there anywhere we can discuss my recent chat ban? thanks RadarMatt (talk) 04:38, September 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can bring it up here, bring it up with Teh or start a public forum here 04:51, September 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok. I just wanted to apologize for my behaviour in chat and agree with you that thats no way for anyone, especially a moderator, to conduct themselves. I've been making an honest effort to control my outbursts since Lions warned me a while back and I guess I need to spend more time on it. Thanks for the patience and consideration anyway. RadarMatt (talk) 04:57, September 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I want to thank you as well for your understanding regarding this matter. As I said in chat before, if you have an issue with what another user, especially someone who is a mod, is doing bring it to either Teh, myself or make a forum out of it. We and the wiki in general are here for that. 17:25, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Sales Page
Hey NeonSpotlight! I'd like to add a short guide to the sales page on how users can find out when a specific champ or skin has last been on sale and probably will be on sale next. Would that be okay? ItzzSunara (talk) 19:26, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Gathering community input
Hey, Neon.

You may know that I'm trying to gather community input to standardize trivia guidelines. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time getting the necessary attention to move forward. Would you be willing to put the post in either the "Featured Blog Post" or "Community Messages" section? If not, I understand. Figured there's no harm in asking.

Thanks, DocTanner (talk) 06:27, October 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've gone and added it to the Community Messages. 07:49, October 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're awesome, thank you. --DocTanner (talk) 07:50, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

League of Legends Game Guide App
Hey Neon , I just wanted to let you know that your Wikia community was chosen to be part of an experiment in which an app dedicated to your wikia would be released. You won't have to any more than what you've done for Game Guides. Just keep up the good work and we'll see how this goes.

If you're curious, the app is now available on the Android store and will be available in iOS as soon as Apple approves the app.

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 16:56, October 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll volunteer to check out the app and make sure everything from the champions crosses over well. This sounds like an awesome initiative. --DocTanner (talk) 18:05, October 17, 2013 (UTC)

Annie trivia
Hi! I wish to tell you a thing about annie's trivia. I think the quote "Come out, come out wherever you are" is a reference to the Good Witch of the North from The Wizard of Oz. The proof is that Annie "sings" the quote exactly like the Witch.

Undelete Request
Could you undelete Ability Details/Darius? I saw that the live version had drop-downs and assumed all the content was there. I was a bit trigger happy. :3 Emptylord (talk) 16:43, November 5, 2013 (UTC)
