EtherMage Account Ban Lift
Hi my name is EtherMage. Yesterday my account was banned because I uploades too many images, and I'm using my friends account to talk to you. I apologize for uploading so many images, I didn't know it wasn't allowed. It was an honest mistake. Could you please unban my account? I won't make the same mistake again.

Recent Blog
Sam, I can't see any blogs newer than

Reign of the Purple Caster Minion, First Impressions

When I click on "show more" in the blog side? I may just being doing something wrong, but that used to show all of the latest ones.

RE: Moderator rights
Hi Sam. I just checked Special:ListGroupRights and it looks like someone beat me to it. The Moderator group has all the rights you listed in your message. If you ever need any more help, feel free to contact me again. Cheers. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  19:59, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Trivia Guidelines:
Can we make some sort of guideline for adding to Trivia pages. I would really like to remove anything that looks like "x may have something to do with y" For Example: "Akali, may be related to Charlie Sheen, through Martin Sheen's 2nd dog's paid walker's Roomate's sister." Riot's references are pretty blatant, if one has to reach far for a reference than it is probably coincidence. Asperon Thorn 23:58, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

== Tech:Facebook Hey. Sorry I havn't replied about Facebook. I havn't played today because I'm on my Mac. What do I search again? I checked all of the Samuels and I dont know which one is you. What is your profile picture?


 * ok I know which one it is. I'll add you later when I get home. Technology Wizard 23:24, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Needs Patch History Category
Sam, I noticed that some champions like Jarvan are categorized as Need Patch History, while having every patch note listed from the patch that added them till the most recent one. Is this intended ? (also, when you can, reply to my questions above regarding the monster buffs, thanks!) Zelgadis87 11:47, March 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply, I'll work on the template then! Zelgadis87 19:45, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just an heads up:
 * The template for the buff icon is working and I've updated every page that used the old one.
 * I've marked the images we were using for the buffs for speedy deletion (I hope it's the right template to use.. ^^'), as they aren't used anywhere on the wiki and are just duplicates.
 * Since I was the one that updated the patch history for the last 2 released champions, I realized that I was the one that should have removed the Need Patch History category.. As such, I've rechecked them and removed that category. Feel free to readd it and notify me about changes that should be done to them in case they aren't right. Note that I didn't check other champions, so there could be others that have the patch history perfectly updated but are still in that category.
 * Sorry for having bothered you once more, but I'm still pretty new to the wiki ;p --Zelgadis87 19:25, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Sony Vegas
The problem you are having is most likely your antivirus. The crack is being flagged by your antivirus and removed right as you extract it from the archive. Assuming it's a false positive, just disable your antivirus for the time you need to place it in the program folder from the archive. After that the antivirus shouldn't have much problem with the file until you do a full scan at which point it might flag the file again, you can just add it to exceptions list.

If that still doesn't work for you, let me know, I'll work on getting something to you over email. (PS> I'd need more info as to which program you exactly have, SV9 has a few releases out there I can either give you a link to torrent for the whole thing or you'll have to get me the exact version so I can look for patch that would apply in that case) --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 21:56, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Achievement Badges
The badges at the top of the http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Leaderboard page are the ones I have problems with. And thank you for the upcoming moderation position, I'm flattered. NeonSpotlight 08:54, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Monsters and Minions Page Director
Hey Sam!

I'd really love to! Thank you very much! :) --Zelgadis87 13:05, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Community Messages Redirect
Hey Sam, I wanted to bring this up with your, but perhaps this has to go to Kaz. Times and times again, when you update the community messages it takes me to the Recent Wiki Activity page... Why the hell is that I have no idea, since current activity has no relation to your blog posts... I have to figure out what I have to fish out on the right side of the page... It's just, how should I put it.. Inconvenient, not organized and plain misleading. Can we fix it in some way so it links directly to either your blog post or some other page instead of Recent Wiki Activity? Thanks. --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 13:10, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am aware that it's the box on the right, however, that box on the right is about 150px wide. Do you really think community messages deserve a 150px wide frame??? Because that's exactly how much attention the users will pay to it... On top of that it's located on a page that has nothing to do with community messages... Again, we either need a dedicated page or change the redirect on the pop-up. --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 13:20, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. =] --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 13:35, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

FB Page
Hey Sam I'll be taking care of the Facebook page, so every user that wants to be an admin, send them to me. - KazMx (Message me! E-Mail me!   Edits! )  14:36, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey that's great but the problem here is that many users are new, and it is important for them to give priority to the wiki, before they start posting in the facebook page. - KazMx (Message me! E-Mail me!   Edits! )  15:21, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Colors
Hey Sam. Just out of curiosity, can you explain what the colors of people names on the wikia represent... Yellow-? Orange-? Green-? Purple-? Red-? Blue-? I just want to know what the job of each color is. Please reply asap!

--Technology Wizard 01:16, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Its more like a figure of speech meaning like as soon as you get the chance. Anyway, back to he actual topic...

Now I understand what they are but what is the "Job" specificly. Like what is the point of their name being changed to a different color.. what is their main job in the wikia?

Technology Wizard 01:54, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok thank you so much for the VERY USEFUL INFORMATIVE info! I really needed to know what these things meant so I can understand the wikia better. If you need help with anything please let me know.

User Technology Wizard
I'm a little concerned with this user and how he is... contributing. Looking at his profile he says his main goal is to be #1 on the leaderboard which raises concern immediately but in itself isn't that bad, my problem with him occurs when looking at the Wiki Activity page and seeing things like him adding categories to champions (ie, support to Trundle+Jarvan, pusher to Twitch+Ryze+Katarina+Janna+Irelia(Debatable)+, self heal to Singed, teleport to LeBlanc, nuke to Amumu, and that was just today, he's doing his best to milk points out of anything he can even if it means giving out false information. NeonSpotlight 04:29, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello Sam. Thanks for the warning but I have something to say as well. I don't know if you noticed on my previous account but I honestly think that people are jealous of me.... I remember someone said something like "I guess on not in the top 5 anymore" and then he posts something on your page saying something like "I recommend ban and deletion of his edits" All I do is add information that I think is useful. Who is to say that twitch or Irelia or Ryze are not pushers when they can wipe out minions waves within seconds. And in situations like Jarvan being a support means that if an ally was in danger of dying, he could easily help them escape. Its not like Im just here to become rank 1. People just like to take my words and twist them like "OMG he wants to be rank 1, lets all be concerned because he might be adding false info.." Sam I hope hat you understand that I'm not the type of editor that just wants to be rank 1 and would do anything to become rank 1. It's a goal that I would like to accomplish one day in the far future. If i ad categories to pages, is someone supposed to improve it or something? Because once again nobody is telling me anything about "The Rules". And for anybody else that is reading this, talk to me if you having so many stressful problems watching me edit things. Btw it is things like this that honestly discourage me from improving the wikia anymore. People act as if it was a race to the finish line when its to help new users understand the game better.

Technology Wizard 05:26, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * All of us who edit here have seen our achievements as a byproduct of our efforts here, rather than a goal to be worked towards. You can't just add random info that's not relevant, especially when you know it to not be true. For example, Jarvan might be able to be played as a support, but that's like saying Soraka can play DPS (which I have seen before) - sure, some people may do so but you're messing up everything else by listing it as such. Users of the Wiki, who are the ones we ultimately work to help, will be very, very, confused. That's why me, NeonSpotlight, UberTri, and others always made sure to ask Sam, Kaz, and other experienced editors what the standards were before we made any substantial pages- that's why we have project pages! We've built this community and all our edits around consensus, not on self-motivated achievement farming. Therefore, your edits should be driven by that same logic. None of us are trying to block you from editing anything or discourage you, but we are concerned that what you do are not in accordance with the coordination that all of us strive to achieve. --Kungming2 07:29, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry to interfere in this discussion, but I just noticed Janna being in the pusher category and I almost facepalmed. The credibility of this wiki depends on the content we put in its articles. You can even stack APs on Garen, but please do not write here that it is a viable build. Also note that there is a page on the wiki itself which lists what the various categories are for, and if you notice, "clearing a minion wave within seconds" (which Janna cannot do, by the way) is not the (only) characteristic of a pusher champion. I'll revert some of these categories, because really, if some guest see them, they will just delete this wiki from their bookmarks. --Zelgadis87 18:02, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Moderator
I can Block, Movefile, and Rollback, and SupressRedirect not quite sure about the others (editprotected, noratelimit, move-subpages) as, honestly, I wouldn't know where to test them, I can not move comments, delete comments, or edit comments. NeonSpotlight 06:40, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sam. I made a minor edit to the syntax of the MediaWiki extension that controls local user groups. See if the moderator can now do those four things you said were not working. If they still don't work, tell me and I'll have someone on the tech team take a look. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  16:11, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * We checked from our end, and everything seems to be working. So when you're logged in as Test Moderator, you're saying that you don't see the edit and delete links when you move your pointer over a comment? If you do, then it's working correctly. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  20:28, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, we figured out what's wrong. Article and blog comments are viewed as talk pages by our system. So basically, commentdelete is useless by itself. In order to be able to delete comments, the moderator group will also need the "delete" right, which will give them the ability to delete all pages. If that's cool with you guys, just say the word and I'll add it to the moderator group. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  21:54, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * After adding delete to the group's rights, the group can now see the delete link on comments, as expected, but there was still no link to edit. After tinkering with adding other rights to the group, I couldn't get the edit link to appear. The moderator does have the ability to edit comments though. When you click the delete link, you're taken to a separate page where you perform the delete. In the browser's URL field, at the very end of the URL you see action=delete. If you manually replace "delete" with "edit" there and press enter, the page changes to an edit mode where you can edit the comment and click the Publish button. Obviously that's just a workaround. In the meantime, I'm going to ask the tech team why the edit link isnt appearing and what needs to be done to make it appear. I'll reply again when we get it straightened out, which may be a day or two. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  23:05, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Template colors
Sam, one user this morning brought up an issue with some template colors we are using on the wiki: if the Monobook layout is activated in the preferences some text is mostly unreadable. While the wiki itself is basically designed for a dark background (eg, the items icons look out of place with a white background), we should at least make it readable in that layout. Are we able to change the css style used based on the user preferences ? --Zelgadis87 12:06, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * He reverted them himself. I'll talk to Kaz then! --Zelgadis87 12:55, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Misc.
Hello. I just wanted to congratulate everyone that has been promoted to something. I just had a thought though.. Doesn't it seem like easy to recieve a promotion since a lot of people are getting them now..? Technology Wizard 00:40, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Sagee Prime - Thanks for the views and here is some clarification
Thanks for watching the other day. I updated my page to state that I have two livestreams.

One being my person livestream the one I was streaming to yesterday and the other being the team livestream which I stream to when the whole team is present. Sagee Prime &quot;You Calm Down the Thunder and I&#39;ll Reap the Whirlwind&quot; 12:57, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Forum: Wiki Projects organization
Hi Sam. I've been staring at the forums for a little bit today and I think we need to make a common forum for the projects on the wiki, then ask each project manager to create a discussion thread for that project that would either have all the discussion there or link to a talk page that has the info on the project. List of Active Wiki Projects: Alternatively, we can create a forum thread that would just list the info on the active/complete projects and would link to all the appropriate pages from there and also provide the names of people who to contact with questions.
 * Ability Details
 * Needs Patch History
 * Items history
 * Chinese Skins

This is sort of an incomplete thought, sorry to just dump it here, but I think it needs to be done, perhaps we might even make a poll to see what people think would be the most appropriate organization method. Regardless, it needs to be done, since there's quite a few projects that different people are running and the info on their existence is not concentrated in any single place (except maybe your talk page). I know of them because I've been around, but the discussion pages for each of those projects are somewhat hidden / ill-accessible. I think it would be more beneficial for new users that wish to join the effort/wiki and help out, if there's a centralized log of which projects are out there. Let me know what you think. --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 15:27, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
