Every reference to "Neon" reminds me of you. Not creepy, right?

"Well you were happy where you were But that girl she reeled you in This town was never good enough 'cause she was gonna see everything And if you ever spoke of love She just smiled and put you down 'cause she was making other plans She had a vision of light and sound She said the neon on the river will light my way..." 00:42, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Regarding Rights
Hi Neon, I don't feel like I need Chat moderator powers for now. Could I use Rollback instead? Thanks,

Quote sounds
Hey there. I like this one champion I bought recently and I want to add quote sounds to his wiki. I extracted all sounds of his in mp3 format and I don't know how to host them and to properly add them to wiki page.

Some people directed me to contact you about it.

Page I want to edit: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Ziggs_the_Hexplosives_Expert/Background

Audio files I have (320-bit mp3): Dropbox folder share

P.S. If I will manage to learn how to do this, I might even be interested to fill all missing quote sounds here.

Moving Champion-specific basics of Jungling to Strategy
Hi. I was editing the Jungling page for Summer Rift and I thought something. Can we add a jungling strategy, or just some basic information to jungle, to the strategy tab in the champion pages. It would make a lot of sense since it is a strategy that people already do, and it would greatly reduce the length of the long jungling page. (ClariS 05:14, May 20, 2012 (UTC))

Few Things
Hi, we have the same avatar. Also, I like the idea of the "M" icon, but you should read my blog about chat mod icons. 06:21, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I already read it, as indicated by my comment. :x Also, already changed my avatar back, I don't like the sideways look. 06:53, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sometimes comments on blogs don't load for me when they're made, so I hadn't seen it. Also, what do you think about the pink eye from ? I hadn't thought of it, but I did like the idea. 17:20, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Account Security
I need your help with securing my account. Twice now, somebody has gone into my account to vandalize other pages under my name. The first time, I was able to pinpoint the source as some of my school friends and take necessary precautions (making sure I log off, etc.) I thought this was all that would need to be done; however, it has just happened again under the Gangplank page (and I don't even remember going there today). It isn't my friends this time, but I think it's possible might have actually gotten my password or hacked onto my account seriously this time. Is there any way for me to change my password or otherwise ensure the security of my account? I'm not the kind of person who vandalizes wiki pages; other users can vouch for me. I don't want to be condemned for vandalism I didn't commit :(

One more thing, is there a way to force-log me off of every single computer period? I don't mind if you have to ban me to do so.

New Batman Game
Hi NeonSpotlight, my name's Peter and I'm Wikia's Programming Manager. Your name was mentioned to me wtihin Wikia and I'm reaching out to you with a pretty cool opportunity. Warner Bros. Games is giving us an exclusive look at a new browser game. Would you be interested in playing it ? You could then write about your thoughts on the game. We're going to be promoting this opportunity heavily! Only catch is I need to know ASAP if you're interested. I can give you more details when I hear back from you on my talk page or email is peter@wikia-inc.com, thanks Peter 19:24, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Champion Development
Hello Neon. I was wondering why you removed the images from the Karma and Malphite Development sections. 00:30, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because they're just "materials," there's no reason to have them in that section. Every skin has the same kind of materials in the skins's respective .dds file. 00:56, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Emoticons

 * I understand the first 4 and the last 1, but the remaining five aren't a bit offensive when used? 04:18, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * In our chat, not really. If those terms are being used they're being used sarcastically or jokingly, and if they aren't the ones using them can just be punished for using it that way. I've come to realize that our chat doesn't need all that much censorship because people don't really abuse it. 03:00, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

3D Model Opp
Hey there Neon,

I just wanted to remind an admin, and you are as good as any, about a link-share/feature opportunity. I posted in the forums about it but have yet to get a response. Do you think this is something the wiki would be interested in? - http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:3D_Model_View_Opportunity?t=20120627163248

Bestm Jorge (profile)•(talk) 00:29, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Great. I do have a button ready and links and all that if you're interested. I'm thinking it could live next to the name of each skin in the image viewer, much like the RP cost. If that's too unsightly, we could keep it as it is and simply change the links to lolking's better model viewer. Either way, I'd happily jump in and make the changes myself, but I would rather not step on anyone's toes or accidentally mess up the templates. If you're still ok with adding the button but want me to figure out implementation on my own, just let me know and I'm sure I can figure it out. Jorge (profile)•(talk) 23:43, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Gunnar Giveaway
Hi NeonSpotlight,

My name’s Peter and I’m Wikia’s Programming Manager. We have an exciting promotional opportunity that we are making available to a few highly valued Wikia gaming communities - a giveaway of 3 pairs of digital eyewear glasses from Gunnar. We’d like to offer you and your fellow Admins the chance to run a sweepstakes/giveaway contest of your choosing here.

I’m not sure how familiar you are with giveaway formats, but you are free to choose the format of your liking. The most common and simplest type of giveaway is to ask your users to enter the contest through either a Tweet or a Comment on the blog post on a related topic (i.e. “How long do you stare at your computer?”). Then you can select the winner(s) at random.

Or (and we encourage this), you can get more creative and hands-on with it -- whatever you and your community will have the most fun with.

We will supply you with the creative assets to run the giveaway and we’ll handle sending the prizing. The only stipulations we have for the contest is that it be US and UK only and include a brief description of the eyewear, which we will supply you with, to avoid any misinformation about the glasses.

Let me know your thoughts as soon as you can please, as the contests will begin late July.

Cheers,

Peter 23:57, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Question
thank you for fixing it.

can you please tell me how i messed it up?

Cheers for telling me Neon :)

now ill remember for next time.

i think that happend when i was making all the lowercase ' l 's into capitol L'.

Reason why: I have OCD :/

MediaWiki:Common.js
I wish you wouldn't shirk responsibility with Tech. Please revert MediaWiki:Common.js to 11:33, June 19, 2012‎. If you want experimenting with new function please do it somewhere else or under different css class. Thx. -- Inpursuit (talk) 01:36, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am responsible for creating this mess of who to blame for what may or may not be working. I apologise for being impatient and I'll wait for just one person to carry out requests. --BryghtShadow 05:27, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure where you got the idea that Neon was the one that told me to edit the js. Regardless, I will not let you judge my responsibility as an administrator, simply because I am not the best with MediaWiki coding. Admins have other jobs as well, editing MediaWiki is not the only thing that we do. 05:46, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Close tag for tabber missing
Xin Zhao's page lacks a, which probably should be placed before the references (if both PBE and Live versions have ref tags). Most definitely before. Without closing, the champion navbox is hidden in PBE tab. I've fixed Evelynn's page (http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/index.php?title=Evelynn_the_Widowmaker&diff=892001&oldid=891984). Not sure what other pages use tabber. --BryghtShadow 06:56, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Gallery cropping
Although I dislike the cropping of gallery slideshow because it crops out some very important details at the edges of the splash art, I have to Wikia Community and submitted a ticket to the staff. They replied me in a email that their technician will look into the bug and fix it. But as I say I have no love for the cropping attribute so I won't tell you to stop your bot. And yes, the blanked gallery is solely the result of MediaWiki software update to v1.19 and has nothing to do with the last codes added to commons.js. -- Inpursuit (talk) 11:13, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hello NeonSpotlight,

I have a few problems. First, I just found out I can't play the sound files on most character pages, a few months back I could do it, but now they're just showing up as Unknown extension tag "flashmp3" Second one, is SOMETIMES I cannot view the comment pages, or it says my IP is blocked by a mod for "trolling" or "spam", eventhough I didn't even do any of those things. Some answers would be helpful.

Issues with the Skin Gal changes
Hey Neon. A short while ago, there were changes to the way the skin galleries were formatted to change the skin viewer to the one from LoL King. I've noticed a lot of the crop values have been removed from galleries but I noticed that the actual problem with the display images seems to be the RP template used in the text line for the skin prices. Instead of showing the RP icon, it's showing a thumbnail of the skin art and in some cases it's even pushing the text out of sight. As you can see, I re-added the crop value for Lee Sin's gallery but removed the RP icon template and it's working fine. Just wanted to give a heads up in case you guys were trying to figure out what was going on with that. --Sydeyc (talk) 01:36, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikia staff replied me that the issue will be fixed soon so we shouldn't make any change at all. If the bug is painfully unbearable, just modify the template:RP and hide the icon image temporarily until the bug is fixed officially. But I don't really mind removing the crop=true due to the missing details of the left and right edges of the splash arts. -- Inpursuit (talk) 02:55, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thinking about it, removing the RP template is extremely easy but adding it back to every page isn't. I agree just nullifying the RP template until a fix is deployed. 03:00, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback Editor Position
Hiaa Neon. I was trying to apply to become a rollback editor, but each time i tried to publish it, a spam filter appeared, preventing me going any further. Kitty tried to help me, but couldn't figure out what was wrong as well.

It said it was probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename and along that came( Call #9 ).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ! ClariS ! (talk) 06:07, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Comment Y/N?
I agree with the comment section removed.

However this opinion is not popular and perhaps it will end better if you just remove and announce it instead of asking for public opinions :D. As you know, people who comment there, are mostly the ones who use comments a lot.

It is a biased vote to begin with. :)

Deletion of user images without notification
Apparently, user wants them notified when their image gets removed: User:BryghtShadow/Chat_transcripts. I dunno what else to say --BryghtShadow 11:16, August 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I quite personally agree with Nystus. Deliberately ignoring the warning that takes up half the screen at upload page multiple times is no excuse. LionsLight (talk) 15:40, August 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't tell you how many times Bryght that a user has been warned and just doesn't care and keeps uploading them the same way. But whatever, I'll try to do better at warning people even though they aren't reading the huge policy that I made. 16:59, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Image categorization
Hey Neon, thanks for the promotion. I'm just wondering what exactly I'm doing wrong in regards to categorization. I've generally been using the licensing options in the drop-down menu when I upload images. And when I'm not sure I compare with similar images. Sydeyc (talk) 22:37, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good to know then. I didn't realize they weren't being categorized. Thanks for the info. Sydeyc (talk) 22:51, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Rengar empowered ability icons
Emptylord has uploaded png versions of the empowered ability icons, which is not the file extension use in any of the templates, we use jpg. I uploaded the jpg versions before seeing the png, and when I was about to delete the pngs (as we have no need for them) it showed that you had deleted one and then restored it. Just wanted to confirm whether or not to go through with the deletion. Sydeyc (talk) 01:06, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

i guess you'll prolly listen to kitty. i did delete some comments that i thought were unneeded, but i see that they did not need deletion. and I was called a "moron". i did kick that person that said that. i didn't realize my whole moderator power would be taken from me. i you decide you not demote me, i wont repeat the act, but i guess you have your proof if you do. apologetically, Ninja  talk 06:39, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Rainmeter maintenace
Pilouk (talk) 22:14, August 15, 2012 (UTC) Hi neonspotligth, i have a important request here. I'm doing a maintenance on my rainmeter skin about new skins ,sales and free champion rotation. You can see here : http://pilouk.deviantart.com/art/League-Of-Legends-Champion-Kit-Free-Sale-New-313271466.

My rainmeter information is based on the wikia page. However, the wiki HTML structure seem to change too much in short period of time causing my skin to be broken or not showing up good information.

I understand that the page visual can change sometime but is it possible to change most often the contents* like name, picture etc and stay with one HTML structure standard like table or DIV with the same class or id.

thx!


 * @Neon, @Pilouk, I'll see what I can do. --BryghtShadow 10:00, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

List of steroid abilities?
What if we had a list of the so called "steroid" abilities? It would be better in my opinion cause we could see what champion can enhance which part of his strengths. Though you might disagree cause steroid abilities are just like basic abilities just buffing your champion. Contractas1 (talk) 10:53, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

block
Hi, Sir! I did a wrong thing called "page vandalism" or whatever and I apologize for it because I didn't know I was creating a new topic.

But I don't understand why did I get ban for ever!? If somebody does that I did then he gets at maximum 1-3 months suspend/block! So I would ask you interrupt the block.

Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate
Hello!

If you look at my profile I own a lot of skins. Too many some would say. But anyway, on my skin checklist I noticed the splash art for Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate is missing with a 100px in its place. I'm pretty sure I spelled the skin name correct so something else must be wrong. If I am missing something I'm sorry. Anyway if you could fix this that would be wonderful! Thanks in advance!

Splash art updates
Hey Neon, I just wanted to ask what you though about updating the splash art. The last time I updated everything before it went live, I was told to wait til the changes did go live. Now the difference I see is that back then, they were updating the old arts with the chinese versions. This time, they're brand new art assets created specifically for the splash update. My question is, since users seem so adamant about uploading the files (misnamed, new files instead of updates, etc.) should we just update them now? --Sydeyc (talk) 04:34, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Eh, I guess it won't hurt. There's also not nearly as many champions as last time. 04:37, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Brazilian LoL Wiki
Hey, first of all, I wanna say I looove your wiki, you're like an idol to me *0*.. Anyway, I'd like to ask for your permision, since you're the one who created the first Lol wiki, to create a Brazilian League of Legends Wikia, but to do so, I'd have to basically, copy and edit the layouts, templates, codes, etc. you used and translate them.. :/ But of course the text and all the written part will be personalized. It's ok if you're not ok with my terms, if you disagree with anything I said just let me know and I won't create the site. I just want to know if you'd let me use your templates, layout etc.. 00:53, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Login music
Hey Neon! I was going through the champion pages that had login music and, personally, find that it might be a better idea to have the login music as audio files instead of embedded video. Using the MP3 template should serve well enough for this. What do you think? --Sydeyc (talk) 01:34, September 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you can make it work then go ahead 03:47, September 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Ogg template didn't fit what I wanted to do because it was automatically making the text and file bulleted, since it's used for the champ quotes. So, I made a new one (the most primitive thing ever). I placed the theme on Diana's trivia page and I wanted to see if you agreed with it or if you wanted something changed. I was thinking of making the text a touch bigger or italicized. Anyway. I won't place it on the other champions' pages until you approve it. Sydeyc (talk) 09:17, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Just Stopped By
I'd like you to remember that just because I agree with what people say does NOT mean I agree with that person. I'd rather stab Interceptor402 and deal with him, but that's just not realistic. My existence is something I have to ponder, because even if I hate someone, I can only comfort them, it is not part of my nature to seek harm.

You know that I'm pretty new here, and I feel like everything that could possibly be linked to me, will be, and that I have to own up to that. That's why I'm stopping by. There's also no way to get to know a person than seeing what they do and why. I've given you the "why", so here's the talk, which is my timeline on a 3rd person perspective-

Since you've read this far, you oviously care. That's all that matters to me. One day, I passed by the wiki, and I wanted to be "THE ANON" that was awesome. Then people convinced me to be a User. I had some wild ideas, and landed on the Evelynn page, where I slowly pushed away the people who had little or negative input, and I encouraged others to add their ideas. Comments become disabled. I become pretty sad and a little frustrated. Once they're enabled, lots of people are back with ideas, talking about Evelynn, and they look to me. Soon, almost half the posts that ask for advice hold my name. People tell me I'm a gaurdian. I'm worn out from playing LoL, and I just want to chat. Comments are disabled again just as I'm about to have fun watching comments pile in about "Eve OP", and honestly, it's the call I needed instead of the cyanide pill I used to think it was.

I needed these comments to go for a little while, because otherwise I'd just sit on the Eve page and be nothing more than a 'commenter'. When I have time, I'll try to participate more. There are people out there who've worked harder than me, with a much different kind of reward, and I'm starting to notice that. Proving myself isn't something I've had issues with, in fact, I've had the opposite - I disproved myself often. Ring any bells?

Whatever you think of me, I hope this means something to you. Thanks for the work you've done! (I remember the Radius -> Diameter changes, if nothing else) Vahldeer (talk) 23:33, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
