Hello.
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.
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 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.
Thank you.

== Issues with Wiki Frakr ==
Hi Shane! Happy holidays to you and yours, I hope all is well ...
When I attempt to save an edit on Wiki Frakr I get the following:


== [[BW:ITP]] ==
Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict filming The Hand of God still shot is from the TOS DVD. There was a special on the last DVD behind the scenes. I thought this pic was revealing with the back projection showing. I'm not sure how to tag this to conform to current standards. If you could help me with the tag I would appreciate it. --[[User:Skywayman|Skywayman]] 13:16, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
:The tags are located on the [[BW:ITP]] page, but the code you are looking for is this:

Since it's a special feature and not from an episode. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 13:15, 27 July 2006 (CDT)


Thanks. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 04:51, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
== Rollback on "Mop Boy" ==
:Ah shit. ok. I'm on the case. :) [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 05:01, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


== Colors and First letter of title in uppercase ==
On images where no caption is needed, it's aesthetically preferable not to use the thumb tag to an image. For the image I inserted with the simple graphic, I chose not to have a frame, and therefore no thumbnail since the image sat best next to the text, which already "captioned" it. Thus, the rollback. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:35, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
:You sure? That could have been a simple edit and not a rollback because you removed the {{tl|sillypage}} template also. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 10:37, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
::I was being lazy, my bad. The page is set now with the correct tag.


Hi Shane.<br/>Just two questions for the moment.
::Why be so pushy about immediate deletion of an article, even a silly page, given than the main criteria for one is just to be funny? The letter of the "law" shouldn't be used to damage or reduce the spirit of the contribution (even if I say so myself). Rules are meant to keep boundries, but if there's anyone who can take a little humorous abuse, it MUST be an admin, which the article is directed at, of course. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:36, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
* 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...
== Checkbox Empty ==
:@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 ==
I want to file a feature request against MediaWiki. Where does one do this?


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.
For the curious, the request will be for an "Empty pages" checkbox on the page for editting one's watchlist, as mine was greatly contaminated by that page moving vandal. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 14:33, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
:Can you expand just a bit more? --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 15:38, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
::Well, what I want is probably best made into a feature request bug against the MediaWiki software itself, but, sure, I can. Go "my watchlist" -> "Show and edit complete watchlist" . Observe the (possibly quite long) list of checkboxes. Note that empty pages can be present. As I'm sure you are aware, many online interfaces built on selection by checkboxes from long lists have checkboxes labelled  "All", which, when checked or unchecked, apply their state to all checkboxes on the list. What I desired was a checkbox labelled "Empty pages" that, when checked or unchecked, applied its state to all checkboxes corresponding to empty pages. Empty pages on a watchlist can be generated ''en masse'' by page-moving vandals, for example, and clearing them can be inconvenient. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 15:56, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
:::Ah. I understand. I will have to check my wikipedia watchlist (as my watch list here) is very limited, but I see what your getting at. Wikipedia has a javascript "script" to select all... but for it to be built into the MediaWiki software is different. But looking at the code it can be done. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 16:10, 1 August 2006 (CDT)


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.
==New Templates==
Shane, what are these new date and time related templates you've been importing? Have they been discussed in [[BW:TANK]] yet? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:24, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
:It looks like they're just for that RFA end date calculation (currentdatetime + 1 week). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:04, 2 August 2006 (CDT)
==Re: 'pedia==
Hey. Did you know that they deleted [[wikipedia:Battlestar Wiki]]? Went to AFD. Only just realised today. [[User:MatthewFenton|MatthewFenton]] 14:14, 6 August 2006 (CDT)
:Yep. I didn't vote, but Joe did. He voted for deletion. Maybe Spenc can write up an article that we can transfer there in the future. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 14:17, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


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.
==News pip==
Why do you need a seperate image? Why cant you just use the wiki to resize the original image? [[Image:BSG WIKI News.png|30px]] --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 07:54, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
: I could do that... there is a news article though outside the web linking back to an article. So I thought something that didn't have the wiki logo. Maybe the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Web_traffic.png. Jsut thought we give it our own version. :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 07:57, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
::I could do one minus the wiki logo part and just have the globe with FNS on it? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 09:03, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
:::That could work... --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 09:03, 7 August 2006 (CDT)


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)
== Unprotect request ==
I unprotected {{tl|oppose}}, etc. I'd have done it earlier, but I go through Recent Changes new to old. Oddlly enough, the [[Special:Log/protect|Protection Log]] thinks I protected them. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 23:03, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
:Yeah. I am going to start the Categorization project after I finsh the templates. The cat project going to take some time to orginzie, but I know it's not going to effect content or operations. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 00:27, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


== Userpage Design. ==
== Appreciation ==


I too copied your userpage design. I hope its fine. Just letting you know. [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 11:13, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
I appreciate all your hard work. Sorry I don't respond to all your ideas, but you so productive, I can't keep up with ya'. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 18:40, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
:Soon with everything categorized and in its place, there is nothing that we cannot do. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 18:45, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
