== Cape Cod, MA ==

I was in cape cod this weekend. Kinda werid having no internet. Anyway, I'm back! --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 22:42, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

== A reminder ==

I know the person who keeps changing the [[Galactica type battlestar]] page is annoying, but please don't bite the newbies. I'm an admin but even I don't threaten blocking unless they are a spammer or refuse to read and acknowledge our requests after a period of time. It's not appropriate to threaten anyone with being blocked from the wiki (especially if you lack the power to do so). That said, thanks to you (and Mercifull) for keeping the page intact. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:04, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

:Hey, before I make the initial comment, I didn't check the history or contribs of the guy, too. Still be careful of the wording, but both you and Mercifull are doing the right thing. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:14, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

== Tag for alternate/sep continuities ==

Hey Shane. Could you whip up a generic tag that says something to the effect of:

:''This article's information is based on characters or events within a '''separate continuity''' that may differ from the aired content of the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], or [[Galactica 1980]]. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.''

I've asked Mercifull if he could make an icon for it (I suggested a character with a goatee; you probably get the reference). The completed tag will still need to pass consensus, but it will a good one to add to all video game and comic articles, especially if new ones appear. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:49, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
:Roger that. I'll post it in [[BW:SI|site images]] so me and merc are on the same page. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 17:43, 5 June 2006 (CDT)

==Template:Location Data==
I don't think [[Template:Location Data|this]] is a bad idea, Shane, but isn't there any way you could have proposed it and gotten feedback before you ran off and implemented it on a dozen pages? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 13:08, 10 June 2006 (CDT)

-== Request ==
+== Cape Cod, MA ==
-Hello.
+I was in cape cod this weekend. Kinda werid having no internet. Anyway, I'm back! --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 22:42, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
-I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.
+== A reminder ==
-The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.
+I know the person who keeps changing the [[Galactica type battlestar]] page is annoying, but please don't bite the newbies.

That said, thanks to you (and Mercifull) for keeping the page intact. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:04, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
-I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.

-== Colors and First letter of title in uppercase ==
-Hi Shane.<br/>Just two questions for the moment.
-* Can you give me all the hexa code for the colors you use for the wiki?
-* Is it possible to disable or to show me the way to disable the automatic uppercase of the first letter of each word on the article title please?
-Thank you very much. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 16:22, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
-:Hi, Shane, thanks for [[Battlestar_Wiki:Chiefs'_noticeboard/Archive8#Capitalized_Headlines|fixing this]] for the German version (it works); sorry I didn't notice earlier, since I wasn't active for a while. Perhaps it would be a good idea to drop this transformation alltogether...
-:@LIMAFOX: You can create a personal stylesheet in your profile which applies this change. (for German, it looked ''very'' wrong because this language has quite elaborate rules about uppercase first letters; but I didn't intend to discuss anglo-saxon habits). --[[User:Bruno-the-questionable|Tobias]] 19:32, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
-== The Matrix Wiki Skin ==
-Hi, I've recently joined Wikia and started adding to the [http://matrix.wikia.com Matrix wiki], where I noticed that you'd [http://matrix.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#CSS.2FStyle_Design posted] to the main talk page about a new style design.
-The skin at the moment is terrible, but as I've only ever really had experience altering the content of articles in wikis I have no starting point to alter it (the internal help is pretty limited at the moment too). I'm familiar with CSS and web design etc. so if you point me in the right direction I should be able to improve it, but if you're still willing to help with the style that would be more awesome still.
-I'm not thinking anything too fancy, just a plain black background, green text and so on, but with an animated gif of the falling matrix code on either side of the page to really make a good impression.
-Please reply either here or on my [http://matrix.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Xensyria talk page there] if you've got the time. Cheers --[[user:xensyria|xensyria]] 17:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
