Fix template

Shane, can you pretty please fix the Star and Crew templates please. the Character box seemed to work fine by lightening the name but the others arnt quite right. If you could look into it, that would be great. cheers. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 07:57, 14 February 2007 (CST)

It takes a while for most of them because of the job queue. The first one of each one is done. You did everything correctly. If you are taking about the "large" text, font-size: larger is what needs to be removed. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:02, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Ok ill go though and check a load a bit later. Seems to be ok on first glance now --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 08:15, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I went ahead and forced ran the job queue just because there wasn't much activity. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:20, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Episodes Smaller characters have starred in

Reason I Showed the episodes that Leoben had starred in was because i've got about 10 friends that keep asking everybody "what episode did number 3 star in where she did such and such" and etc. So I figured it would be convienent for me to go ahead and list the episodes Leoben had starred in. Is this ok Shane? I mean I think it helps as it dosen't hurt the page. I'll do it for all the guest stars like the cylons too if you want. --Darth Tytis 23:34, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I feel asleep in front of my computer. Pardon for my delay. I suggest a "Table Matrix" then. List of character appearances (RDM). Sorta how our "List of pilots" page work. Character pages, clearly stated in BW:SAC should not carry this information. If you want I can help, but I think it's a great idea. You might want to even suggest a "Last Seen" field for the {{Character Data}} template. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:42, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Sounds Great. I'll start working on it tommorow. Thanks! And also, I had posted in the think tank a link to a proposal of mine to creat some sort of rating system to were each fan of the show that comes here can rate there favorite episodes. Does that sound cool? --Darth Tytis 23:47, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Yep. I already posted something on it's talk page. Check it out. :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:48, 14 February 2007 (CST)

One last thing, I had to tell you but i've gone through the tutorials about editing and stuff and I'm still having trouble creating different sections like you did on the pilots page. If you want you can do them but i'll do the best I can. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darth Tytis (talk • contribs).

I never worked on the pilots page. I'll get it started, and you can help out. This is always a team effort. Practice makes perfection and if you fail, "try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, again." -- Some Star Trek Episode as we don't care. :-) Always revertible. BW:SAND to test out.

Battlestarwiki españa

Hola, te dejé un mensaje aquí pero no contestabas. Un saludo de --Baltar Gaiolas 20:48, 15 February 2007 (CST)

fr.battlestarwiki

Saw the note on fr-bsgwiki mainpage; I've been working on translating the English main page for a little bit. [1] I speak French pretty well, so if you need help I'll be more than willing to lend a hand. I'm not sure about promotion, though...and also is there a way we can make the images work on the French side too? Thanks. RasputinAXP 18:03, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Check your french talk page. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 22:30, 21 February 2007 (CST)

There's nothing there! ;) RasputinAXP 00:32, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Yeah there is :D As for images just use them normally as you would here [[Image:Example.jpg]] --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:30, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Star data multinational

I was going to ask you to incorporate my nationality2 parameter into {{Star Data}}, but I see you've already deleted and reverted my work. You told me to contact you, so here you are. --Catrope 13:54, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Yeah. Check the Template:Star Data talk page. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:59, 24 February 2007 (CST)

The parameter list mentions nationmore, but it's not in the template itself (yet). Also, maybe we should discuss whether we actually want dual nationalities in the first place. --Catrope 14:03, 24 February 2007 (CST)

I just added the documentation. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 14:05, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Interview

I was going to put this up on the main page, but I can't edit it. Interview It's an interview with Mary McDonnell about her character, the season 3 finale, and the Roslin/Adama relationship. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RMelon (talk • contribs).

You can goto BW:NEWS and update it there. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:04, 25 February 2007 (CST)

Seelix

• As an administrator could you please move the "Seelix" article to "Diana Seelix". -- Troyian 00:01, 26 February 2007 (CST)

No problem. BW:MOVE to get move permissions. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 00:09, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Blog

I know you're trying to fix it and stuff but can you please stop changing the permalink settings on the blog until you actually fix it. Otherwise you break it so that nobody can read or post anything. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:47, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Response to your removal of this question

Has the respect and admiration for Admiral Adama been decreasing ever since his speech in "Unfinished Business"?

I put this down mainly because of his speech in Unfinished Business and In the Day of the Life. The latter episode had in a moment when his late wife told him that he had gotten better at ignoring the hushes and the stares as he walks down the corridors. This seemed totally in contrast to the admiration that was very apparent at the beginning of the series and the loyalty that many of the officers displayed towards him. The new episode Dirty Job seems to reveal that there has been some dissolving of his admiration by the crew. Anyhows, those were my arguements for that question and did not consider it fan wanking. If that question could be considered that, than many other questions after "Unfinished Business" should be removed as they keep on noting how Adama seems to have gone back on his speech. --LifeStar 10:26, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Population comparison in Episode Data template

I saw you messing around in your testing area and noticed your template throws an error when oldpopulation is undefined or empty. I took the liberty to make a fix for this, and I set up a demonstration thingy for FotP through Resurrection Ship II (conveniently, they include all four possible cases: no previous count, increase, decrease and no change). I put it up here. --Catrope 04:58, 1 March 2007 (CST)

I setup a var in the Template:Population compare itself. No need for your fix. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 09:11, 1 March 2007 (CST)

Database Dump

I want to start playing with tag clouds again so is it possible to get hold of a database dump of the Wiki? It doesn't have to be really up to date or anything I'm just finding it difficult to get lots of pages and categories created on my test wiki to simulate how it would look "live". --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 10:34, 1 March 2007 (CST)

Would you like that extra crispy (EN) or fried (DE)? Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 11:11, 1 March 2007 (CST)

Template help

Please look at the template hb:Template:Improvedundelete. It's supposed to go on a subpage, and link back to its "parent" page. I'm relying on a user-supplied parameter for that link right now, but do you know how to make an automatic link to the parent page? --Catrope 16:09, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Will take a look at it once I get back from work. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 17:57, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Where should radio interview link go?

I noticed you removed a link I had placed to a radio interview with Sackhoff about Maelstrom, but left no note why you were removing it. Can I ask where links to things like radio interviews and information from them should go?--Bradtem 03:30, 9 March 2007 (CST)

I removed it because it was spoilerific. You can place it in the BW:NEWS and say that there are spoilers. Also you don't need the quote. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:27, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Wikisoft*

Is perm blocking a good solution. It seem this user just needs some help on working out how to use mediawiki before we go blocking. I dont think there is a malicious intent going on and we dont really want to kick out the only ppl that could contibute to the other language wikis. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 06:52, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

Mail Server Issues

Hey, Shane. I can't access my bsg mail. I keep getting an error in mail, that access is denied from port 110. Nothing else had changed in my mail settings. Is there anything I can do from here, or is this a server matter? --Spencerian 10:40, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
