Image uploadsHi, I'm new to this site. Actually I've browsed here many times before, but today was the first time I've tried editing any wikis. I made a bunch of edits to images related to Ralph McQuarrie artwork, and I wanted to upload a few thumbnails of his artwork that is not already available here, but it says I can't because of protections against "upload abuse" and that I should contact an administrator. Is this something you could (and would be willing to) help me out with? I've been a Star Wars fan for a long time, and especially interested in preproduction artwork, and I have a number of contributions I could make to this site in that regard. Thanks. daehl Wiki Website IconsI have a question- on Wookieepedia and many of the large major wikis, when you look at the Internet tab that the website is on, they have a specified icon before the website title. Woookieepedia has the circular red white and black icon. Most wikis, instead, have the typical blue W. How can you customize your wiki to have a particular icon for your wiki? —Unsigned comment by ObiKenobiUPC (talk • contribs)
Wedge AntillesHey, Grunny. When you get a chance, can you look at the Wedge Antilles FA nom and approve/archive it? Ordinarily, I wouldn't bug someone about this, but it's been sitting ready to go for over two days now. Trust me, I'm glad it's finally over after 17 months. I'll even help you out: here's the nomination diff. Thanks. Master Jonathan — Jedi Council Chambers Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 00:46 UTC

The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide requestHi Grunny? Could you please check what The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide says about the Dominus sector and on which page(s)? Thanks in advance. TK999 21:30, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
Main Page FA code issuesHey Grunny. Just wanted to bring it to somebody's attention that there is some bad code in the Main Page that will cause breakage if not fixed before the end of the year. The code that pulls the appropriate FA blurb has an #ifexpr function that was put in to enable a smooth transition when we switched to two per week; if that's not removed, it will try to go back to daily pages on January 2 and show a redlink instead. Also, the current code will cause the redlink Wookieepedia:Featured article queue/Week 52, 2012/1 to show on Sunday, January 1. I'll leave it up to you to come up with a solution to that. Master Jonathan — Jedi Council Chambers Thursday, December 22, 2011, 02:28 UTC Red linksHow do u search for redlinks?24.193.147.106 02:39, December 22, 2011 (UTC) PreloadsHey, Grunny! Happy Holidays! Yanno, I've been trying to figure out why preloads don't work at w:c:tardis ever since the new editor smashed its way into our lives. But I just don't get it. For a time I had the drop down appearing in the same spot it is here at Wookie, but it wouldn't actually do anything when ya selected a preload. Now I don't even have that. Could I possibly get you to take a peek at tardis:MediaWiki:Common.js and tardis:MediaWiki:Wikia.js, and tell me where I've screwed up? No rush, the holidays are a busy time for us all! Thanks for whatever help you can give.
Link changeHello, Grunny. Following the pagemove of Dark Apprentice to Dark Apprentice (novel), I went through and attempted to change all links to Dark Apprentice to the new name. However, I was unable to change the link on your userpage because it is fully protected. As the Dark Apprentice title is now occupied by a character article, the link(s) on your userpage now most likely point to the wrong article. You may want to check your userpage and correct the link(s) if necessary.

After being a fan of the website for many years, i finally decided to join and help editing where i can. However, because of my new status, I cannot edit featured articles. I have identified a possible grammar error in the 'Saving Darth Bane' section of the Darth Zannah article. It seems that the editor accidentally stuck another 'an' and made the sentence harder to understand. i'll list as follows "Caleb's daughter was an now an adult, however, and Zannah took notice of the satisfaction with which he spoke as he told her that his daughter was gone, and the Sith therefore held no more power over him." I'll link you to the article; http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Zannah#Saving_Darth_Bane Thanks for your time and consideration! --Hoth Chocolate 22:26, December 28, 2011 (UTC) Ultimate Sith Edition - TitleThe title is as it's stated in the press release, not as it is in the article. That's why I've changed it. Alexrd 00:31, December 30, 2011 (UTC) AC meeting 43Just reminding you that AC Meeting 43 is scheduled for this Saturday, January 7. See you there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC) Email pagesPages like this belong in the Talk: namespace, not the mainspace. Placing them in the mainspace artificially inflates our article count and can result in them showing up on Special:Random, as has happened to me on a couple of occasions. If others are in the mainspace, then they should be moved to the talkspace as well. —MJ— Holocomm Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 00:48 UTC Thank you for the moveThank you for moving it to the proper place.

I just created a wordpress account with gradualferguson@hotmail.com . Can you set me up so I can post it? And... should I just use html to post links to Wook articles? Thanks. Menkooroo 02:45, February 6, 2012 (UTC) Convention stuffHey. Per the Mofference discussion, I've started a section on the C6 SH thread to try to gauge whether there's enough people going and willing to volunteer to be able to have a table. Can you please advertise this via the sitenotice and community corner? I'm thinking something simple like, "Wookieepedia is considering whether to apply for a table at Celebration VI and is looking for dedicated editors willing to volunteer to staff it. If you're going and are interested, see this Senate Hall thread for information and signups." If you can put that in the sitenotice/community corner, that might draw in some of the quiet users who don't check the SH. Thanks. Master Jon Training Room Sunday, February 12, 2012, 04:57 UTC

Hi Grunny! How come this wiki does not have wikinav? It makes the wiki look more nicer with wikinav IMO. Is it b/c wikinav interferes with the clock or some sort of js here? --{{SUBST:User:PlasmaTime/Sig}} 23:49, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Oasis editorHey Grunny. The Oasis skin editor seems messed up. If you press the > between the edit window and the sidebar, the editor seems to mess up pretty badly. I was given some fix on IRC but that was wiki-specific and only made the mess worse. Cheers, 1358 (Talk) 08:59, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Custom preloadsHey, Grunny! Back again for more fun with preloads. I notice that your custom preloads here at Wookiee are just as dead as ours at Tardis. That, of course, makes some sense, because, well, I just stole the code from here, didn't I? However, for a time, I was still loading the old MediaWiki:Functions.js whereas you had abandoned it. And there was a point there where I was loading functions.js and custom preloads were working at Tardis, but not at Wookiee. Now that I've followed suit with you and brought the remaining semi-relevant functions into common.js directly, I can't seem to find my way back to the combination of things that worked. Before I started resetting my site back to conditions on Christmas, 2011, when everything was working fine, I thought maybe you, as the developer, might immediately have an idea why standard preloads would be working, but customs would not.
BachenkallHello Grunny, I remember earlier in January, I added Annotated Screenplays and Behind the Magic to Bachenkall's source list, as I automatically assumed the scripts presented in those are the same as the one on Blueharvest.net. I have since realized that is not the case, and therefore it is possible at least one of those scripts could skip over their mention, and just say some different wording along the lines of "the squat, evil-looking Admiral Ozzel and the young, powerfully built General Veers, who have been conferring near the front,
Just curious...Could you perhaps run a CheckUser on this user? I have a sneaking suspicion that that user and this one may be related, but it's simply due to a contribution pattern and I'd rather find that such a suspicion is unfounded and that it is merely a coincidence. Not that the user in question has done anything wrong, mind you, I'm simply curious and need some confirmation. Thanks. Trak Nar Ramble on 07:26, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

A Request for mediationI am appealing to you to draw your attention to a matter on the administrators noticeboard. I have been unfairly blocked from my user account User: Darth Ceratis for reasons that are untrue and unfair, as I relate in my argument there, by one of your fellow Bureaucrats, user: Darth Culator. I presented my case in a very civil and professional manner, and I’m requesting that you mediate the conflict. Culator has protected the article so I can no longer post in it in any capacity, despite the fact that I have broken no rules of conduct. Additionally, he has extended my block from the maximum of one month (already uncalled for given the original issue) to an infinite one due to “Block evasion.” I have evaded my block only in order to appeal to have it removed, as I have not figured out any other way to do so. I’ve made no other edits than to attempt to plead my case on the admin notice board. I understand that it is generally the policy that administrators do not overrule one another’s decisions, but I firmly believe that Culator is abusing his power regarding his treatment of me, and I would like some neutral parties to involve themselves.216.8.121.1 19:19, May 4, 2012 (UTC) CSSThere is an issue with the current implementation of {{Main}} that causes partially italicized display text to sometimes split the link, as seen here. I have worked up a solution, but it requires adding sitewide CSS. Please add .rellink {font-style: italic;}
.rellink i {font-style: normal;}
to MediaWiki:Common.css and then revert this edit to make the change live. The CSS was taken directly from wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css, so that should be noted for attribution. —MJ— Jedi Council Chambers Saturday, May 5, 2012, 05:31 UTC

Just a questionHey Grunny, I saw you corrected the ending date of Cal's RFR; however, seeing as he was nominated on May 19 UTC time, wouldn't that make June 1 "the fourteenth day", with May 19 being "the first day"? 1358 (Talk) 12:28, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
Scroll boxHi Grunny, I see you made a recent edit to {{Scroll box}}. I think it has broken the template. See here for example. Are you able to fix it? Cheers. --Eyrezer 06:34, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
IP range lookup helpI'm trying to figure out how to determine an IP range so that way I am better able to do range blocks. How does one determine an IP range? Google isn't as helpful as I would like it to be, as I cannot figure out the proper query to use to get the results I want. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:46, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
Corellian Star DestroyersHey Grunny, long time no see. I noticed you moved all the info on the "Corellian-engineered Star Destroyer" back to the [[Corellian-class cruiser]] page. According to part four of Jason Fry's endnotes to the EGW, the sentence about the Corellian-engineered Star Destroyers is a retcon of Han's remark about the "big Corellian ships" in A New Hope. I'm not sure what to make of the main quote regarding the "big Corellian-class cruisers" though; perhaps the Corellian-class is a separate design. Anyway, I just thought I'd bring that to your attention. Grand Moff Tranner

The next interview!... is here! Thanks again. :) Menkooroo 21:11, June 9, 2012 (UTC) Purge button codeSomething seems to have happened to it recently, because it's not acting like it used to. Rather than a link, the tab now goes to some kind of javascript thing. Since you're the only person I can think to ask about this, how do I get the old purge button back? I can't purge an image directly from an old revision delete anymore, nor can I easily copy-and-paste a purge link to IRC for educational or testing purposes. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 18:12, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
Javascript queryI know you're out of touch at the moment, so please don't consider this the least bit urgent, but I've just found the neatest little doodad on the Dev wiki called InactiveUsers. I've already figured out how to alter the API query it uses to only check for main namespace edits (my modified version is here), but I was wondering if there was a way to adapt it to Monobook. I can understand just enough about how it works on Oasis to see that it quite wouldn't work the same way, since Monobook doesn't have a masthead section, and I can't seem to figure out how to append it to the title div. Like I said, not a big deal, just seems like something you'd be able to fix in your sleep while I'd be sitting here like a monkey poking it with a stick for hours. :P Thanks! -- Darth Culator (Talk) 16:04, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
Export requestSince it's getting around the time for me to close the TC, I'd like to put in a request to export [[Charlie Benante]] to the Fan Wiki. I'd do it myself the old-fashion copy/pasta way, but I dunno the link to the Fan Wiki. The fate of that article here is to kill it off and let the Fan Wiki deal with it. Thanks.

I was curious about what would happen if you edit an Wookiepedia article, without knowing that once you press the "Save Page" button it would be made public. This was the article I'm talking about: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Meetra_Surik And this is the modified article that remained in the revision history: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Meetra_Surik?oldid=4109423 Like I said, I didn't know what will happen and I only just replaced Meetra Surik's name from under the Photo with one of my KOTORTSL character's name:D I feel a little uncomfortable for exposing one of my chars in the Revision Histoy, so I was wondering, if you can just erase it from the History, as long as it is only a minor "aberration"...

Curious if you could perhaps look into something...A number of users have been having difficulty accessing Wookieepedia this weekend, and it seems to be a Wikia-wide problem. Could you perhaps look into this? According to Sompeetalay, he would get a 404 error when he'd go to edit a page. Also Xd1358 has been experiencing slowdown across the board. I don't really know who else to ask about looking into this problem, as it affects some, but not all. The other day, Wikia had some intermittent loading issues, but I'm not sure if this is related. Could you perhaps pass this along to whoever needs to know about this issue? I'm not sure who to contact regarding this. Thanks. Trak Nar Ramble on 08:23, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
Recent changes bugCan you take a look at this old bug and apply the fix that was provided several months ago? I'd do it myself, but I don't understand JS well enough to know what is meant by "at the end of the AJAX Refresh loadPageData() function". The bug is annoying and triggers a bug with the Ajax refresh when it occurs (attempting to do an Ajax refresh on the recent changes while the URL ends in "#" breaks the collapsible groups).

Reference TooltipsHey. When you get some time, can you investigate Wikipedia's Reference Tooltips gadget and see if you can get it to work on Wikia? I think it could be extremely useful as a gadget here, considering that many here have commented that they often hover over the reference number to view the ref name in the URL. Right now, on a straight import of the Wikipedia gadget file, it only partially works in Monobook; if the corresponding reference in the reflist is visible on the screen, it correctly draws a box around it, but if that reference is not visible on-screen, nothing happens when it should display a pop-up with the text of the reference. I haven't attempted to use it in the Wikia skin yet and don't know if it works at all there. You can see it in action on Wikipedia, where the gadget is enabled by default so you don't need an account to use it. Thanks in advance. —MJ— Comlink 06:06, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

WP:KOTORAt 0:00 UTC (8:00 PM EST), I will be assuming responsibilities for leading this project, due to my predecessor Cylka's inactivity. Wherever she is, I wish her well in her endeavors, and should she come back, I will gladly turn over leadership back to her. Over the next few weeks, I look forward to reviewing more articles and also wish to get more KotOR-related projects off the ground, and look forward to moving forward to bettering this project and ultimately Wookieepedia. Thank you for your continued service to Wookieepedia.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 00:58, December 20, 2012 (UTC) Admin stats and JavaScript stuffTwo things. First, could you run your admin stats script when you get a chance? It hasn't been run since before I became an admin, and I'd like to see my numbers. Second, I'm looking for a way to do something, and I don't know enough about JavaScript (which I assume would be required) to even attempt it myself. What I'm looking for is a way to replace the native MediaWiki dropdown reason list on the block, delete (including both regular and file deletion), and protect interfaces with my own lists, pulled from subpages within my userspace (formatted the same or similar to the respective native lists in the MediaWiki: namespace) that I can customize according to the reasons I use most often; in other words, replace MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown with User:Master Jonathan/Ipbreason-dropdown, etc., for all four of those interfaces. Do you know if it would be possible to do this? If so, and if it's not too much work, would it be possible to throw something like this together as an administrator gadget? Thanks in advance. —MJ— War Room 23:29, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
Problem with one of your scriptsAnother thing. I'm creating a separate section here to keep the discussions separate. A while back, I [[User:Master Jonathan/diffWookCustom.js|copied your diffWook script]] and played around with some basic customization of it, but later deleted it. I decided this evening to play around with it some more, and accessed the deleted version to copy it to my test wiki. I can create the page with the script, but then any attempt to edit the page again results in simply a blank page; the edit box is completely inaccessible. I have to delete the page to try again; as you can see by the deletion log there, I did this several times, with different revisions of the script, without success. I tried undeleting the page here on the Wook to edit it here instead, but got the same blank page here as well. It must be a problem with the script, even though I had no problems editing the page back in October. The page title is not the issue, as I moved the page on the test wiki to a different title without success, and I also created the page with simply "test" and was able to access the edit box again until I overwrote that with the script. Got a clue? —MJ— Council Chambers 00:36, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Staff help neededWhile I'm here, can you help this guy? He needs the email reset on his old account so he can get back into it.

This plan encountered substantial difficulties when I requested a password reset, then realized I could not for the life of me remember what email address I had been using. Is there any way to reset the contact email to aceschneck(a)yah00.c0m? (symbols masked to defeat email spam crawling programs). I'd hate for two years of contributions to go to waste. If anyone remembers me, I was the fellow who made a bunch of minor pages for characters from Coruscant and the Core Worlds and did a substantial expansion of Transfer essence (before embarking on an ill-advised crusade to make it a Good Article). Also, the unusually long-winded and technical subsection in telekinesis on Force push was mostly me, from back when it was a separate article. 98.201.110.21 19:46, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Another JS problemGet used to the fact that I'm going to come to you with all of my JavaScript issues. :P Take a look at User:Master Jonathan/monobook.js, specifically the section near the bottom with the comment header "Appends a button to the delete interface to clear the prefilled summary with one click". That code worked perfectly—exactly once. It won't work again, despite the fact that nothing has changed since the first and only time that it worked. I am completely befuddled by this. Any idea how to get it working again? —MJ— War Room 02:03, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
hi
i'm trying to find the reason of deletion of emoticons page Borrowed customPreloadTemplates()Hi there, Grunny. I'm the bureaucrat of the Bulgarian version of Wookieepedia - Holopedia. Just wanted to let you know I added your script for templates preloading to Holopedia and thank you for it. It's very useful and convenient. I hope you don't mind. adenry 11:47, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
RFB notificationHi Grunny. I see that Tope just passed the muster to be a new bureaucrat here on Wookiee, however I am disheartened that I had no idea this vote was going on, and I have checked in every now and then throughout the last few weeks. Is there not a way to let those in the BC and admin role know that a vote is occurring? Perhaps this just acts against my ability to keep up with things on the wiki, however I thought I would know about that. I believe this happened to me before with another major vote. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:12, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
Thank youHey, Grunny. I've expressed myself to you a few times already, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you once more for the nomination, your kind words, all the help you've given me over the years, and, of course, your friendship. Thank you :) Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:32, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
RequestHey, Grunny. How're ya doing? I have a request for you. Since we've now reached 100,000 articles, I'm planning on writing an article for Wookieepedia NewsNet reflecting on how we got this far by looking back at the earliest days of the Wook. To that end, I'm contacting as many of the oldest (unflattering term, I know. Sorry) Wookieepedians as possible and asking them to chime in. This is (intentionally) a pretty broad question, but I'm wondering if you can tell me about your early experiences on the Wook and your impressions of what the site was like during its first couple years. Something longer than a soundbite but shorter than a short story, since I'm hoping to quote as many people as I can. Humor and wit are of course encouraged. If you're interested, go nuts, and if you're not, no worries. Thanks, and have a good day! Menkooroo (talk) 15:40, January 12, 2013 (UTC) Re:TemplatesHey, Grunny, no problem. I actually didn't finish last night, I just got so tired that I decided to wait until tomorrow to finish, and Trak was going to sleep twenty minutes later. Wikia's move throttling is killing me and I keep getting a lot of internal error messages when I'm doing all my category stuff, but I'll absolutely finish it today and tag all of the template redirects with CSDs. Thanks for the heads up about the purging thing. Cade Calrayn

The site claims I have entered my password wrong, even though I am 100 % sure I am entering it correctly (I have tried resetting it twice now, and no, Caps Lock is not on). I am at a loss as to how I am supposed to be able to log in since it won't accept my password. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

Admin StatusHey Grunny, do you think that you could promote me to admin? You should look at my profiles on the Viva Pinata wiki and Wookieeanswers. I'm a crat on Viva Pinata and a admin on Wookieeanswers.Wolf Screech (talk) 16:36, February 6, 2013 (UTC) Something I'm not sure how to handle...So, this happened. To be honest, it's not really my business, and I don't want to make it my business, but I can't allow myself to go to bed without bringing it to someone's attention. Now that I have brought it to your attention, I can go to bed. Sleeping, on the other hand... might end up spending the rest of the night obsessing over this. :| Trak Nar Ramble on 10:03, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
FAN page reviewingHey, Grunny, Per the discussion at the recent INQ meeting 55, I've just now gone and left personalized talk page messages to a whole whack of users, asking them to review more on the FAN page. I went for people who review a lot on the GAN page, people who nominate FANs but never review others' work, and more --- hopefully we'll be able to kick-start a reviewing revolution. With that said, I believe I'd be remiss if I didn't extend the appeal to the Inquisitorius, as well. I'm not trying to single any one person out, and to emphasize that point, I'm leaving the exact same message on every INQ member's talk page rather than personalizing them like I did with the non-INQ mesages. Every INQ member save five, that is, and those five members have been reviewing FANs frequently enough that they don't need any sort of push like this. Everyone other than those five INQs, yourself included, has reviewed less than twelve FANs since the beginning of July. A few meetings ago, we agreed on eight FAN reviews per month as a good number for which to strive. I've now encouraged a large number of non-INQs to review more frequently, and the Inquisitorius as a whole should be actively participating in that revolution if not leading it. So, as an INQ, please review FANs more often. Cheers, and have a great day!

I'd appreciate your opinion on the near-finished project: User:Tainb'ocu'chulainn/Sandbox Timeline. The forum for the discussion is Forum:SH:Making a better Timeline of media: revisited. Thanks.
