Administrator
I think we should use this section for deciding admins. Roght now I'd vote for ToaAuserv.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 05:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Seriously? Me? Thanks for suggesting me, Legodude. Not to sound stuck-up or anything, but I guess I would vote for me too, since the only other major editors are either really new here or already admins. And I could finally delete pages myself, without having to wait for you or Daiku to notice. Plus, I'm going to have a lot more time for Bioniclepedia since I'm going to be homeschooled from now on. So, if we have to have a new administrator, it looks like I would be a good choice. That's two votes for me, I guess. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 06:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Make that three votes. Toa Auserv is a major editor. I wouldn't vote for myself because I'm not up for the responsibility. But because of this news, I'll try to edit more often! Toa Tahkeh 14:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok,I'll ask LegoLover to make you one. - L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 15:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not to seem rude, but I don't think we need any other admins until our site grows some. -Daiku
 * Well, our site hasn't exactly had many growth spurts lately. A new member will come every so often and make two or three edits, and then never return. But I do agree that it doesn't appear we need a new admin right now. Of course, it's up to LegoLover... if he ever comes back.

Poll
Maybe we should just copy and paste everything from BS01 here. Swert said we could as long as we give them credit for the info. Like it,Hate it? Reply!- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 06:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I would tend to be against that, since if we just copy and paste everything from BS01, then we're basically an exact replica of BS01 with a different name and community. I could see doing it for some articles until someone gets around to doing them in their own words, but not for everything. ToaAuserv 08:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not to mention BS01 has a different Manual of Style. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 13:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

BS01
Whenever I go there, I can look at a couple pages and then it gives me a message saying the servers unavailable. After a couple minutes I can go back though! Does anyone know why this is happeneing?- L D 7 6 0 { Talk 22:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have the same problem. I think it's the same as Board Messages on BZP, where the server is too busy. Although they seem to be more frequent and much more annoying on BS01...ToaAuserv 00:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

...
I keep trying to edit the monobook.css so we can have image:wiki2 across the backgound and a Hau in the corner of the categorys, but it isn't working! I'm getting mad... can somebody help me?- L D 7 6 0 { Talk 04:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Looks like I had to turn off and on my computer! X-S - L D 7 6 0 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 04:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

That background looks bad. It'd look better if you got one big image, preferrably lighter so it wouldn't clash with the navigation bars. -Daiku Ihave the same problem. Worse, sometimes it says it's forbidden! Jaller2 17:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Somethimgs wrong
Whenever I try to go to the BS01 WIKI it keeps taking me to some other screen asking me for my username and password. I type 'em in and nothing happens! Can somebody help me?- LD760 { Talk 23:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This happened back when they were getting the site back up. Only the mods can get on - I'd say it has something to do with getting the main site back up. - Arban - \Compliment Here/[|See here for more me]\[|My Kanohi Stuff]/ 00:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Same here. It says it is 505! Jaller2 17:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Metru Wiki?
We all know how BS01 call themselves Wiki Nui. Maybe we could call ourselves Metru Wiki!

For?

 * 1) - LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 05:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Against?

 * 1) It'd be a good idea, if it didn't sound so trite. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * got a different name then?- LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 07:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Personally I think Bioniclepedia is pretty cool. Wiki Nui and Metru Wiki both sound pretty tacky, thats just my opinion. Crusher 10:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Titles PEOPLE!
People seriously! Put more titles! And BTW,does anyone know what Template:T is? I've seen it on Jaatikko's list of templates(click on edit and scroll to the bottom to see 'em),but I don't see it on there! Anyone? Am I all alone here?- LD760 { Talk 21:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * well,I found out what template:t was. I was just a typo on the qoute template,which resuted in any article with a qoute having it. Problem solved!- LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 23:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Bio-news
I was wondering, should there be a Bionicle news thing? Like a fake Bionicle newspaper with fake news,run by me! - LD760 { Talk
 * Never mind. I'm doing it.- LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 00:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Current Battle
I was thinking,should we have a box on the Main Page for a little battle thinghy? Like a box where two characters are selected and users vote for who will win. It sounds wierd I know...but. LD760 { yell at ME! / Wanna see my edits? } 00:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Are you taking this idea from the thing I semi-ran on Wookieepedia called the Friday Night Fight? Or did you just come up with it? Either way, the Main Page is no place for it. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  00:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No. [[Image:Toa Iruini.jpg|75px]] LD760 { yell at ME! / Wanna see my edits? }[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 01:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC) 
 * Where would a good place be then?- LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 23:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

How about... User: Legodude760/Current Battle? \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  00:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... personally I think this is a great idea, and the main page would be perfect.Crusher 05:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Logo
We should have a new logo. The current one is in bad quality. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  20:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean bad wuality? [[Image:Toa Iruini.jpg|75px]] LD760 { yell at ME! / Wanna see my edits? }[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 21:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I mean that it doesn't really represent Bionicle as a whole, and looks too pixellated. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  21:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll work on a new one. What do you all want? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 23:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Put Takua and Iruini in if you can! ;-P [[Image:Toa Iruini.jpg|75px]] LD760 { yell at ME! / Wanna see my edits? }[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 00:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Nah. It should have the three virtues symbol in it, possibly with a white-font Logo. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  00:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, Takua (considering he's the best-known Chronicler) would be good. -DaikuI'm not logged in!

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Daiku/Banners/bioniclepedia_symbol_2.jpg Just putting the finishing touches on it now? What do you think? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 02:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Huh. Takua looks swuber! That would work. Thanks again, Daiku. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  12:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay...now how do I get it in the corner? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 01:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Featured Images?
Legodude760 apparently wants us to look more like Wikipedia. I don't like that way of thinking, although a featured image may be in order. Discuss here. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  13:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I though aboput it a little,and I changed my mind.Featured Image would be pretty cool though.- Legodude760 { Give a yell! 18:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

So... do you un-change your mind? I have a few pictures in mind, but I don't think that Bionicle is really the place for it, for the same reason that Wookieepdia decided not to. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  18:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't really like the idea. We don't really have enough pictures. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about?!We have tons!- Legodude760 { Give a yell! 03:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Back up the "we have tons" statement with tons of high-quality images that would look good on the front page and not be subject to copyright problems. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  15:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Ohhh...I guess not.- Legodude760 { Give a yell! 19:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

A Problem
For some reason, every time I upload a picture now, it turns into a link to the Wikia home site. This is not good. Has our server reached its max or something? What happened? \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  19:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay,until we figure this out,don't upload them anymore.- Legodude760 { Give a yell! 19:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I just slapped a delete tag on a bunch of dupe images. There's a lot, such as Image:Toanuva and Image: Toa Nuva. I didn't get all of them, if somebody's looking for something to do. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 03:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Daiku. \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  16:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

= Past Tense = It's in the Manual of Style. It's on the Site Notice. Warnings have been given. But still, people persist in writing articles in present tense. We need a solution. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

How about a version of BZPower's proto power? Perhaps we could have like a kanohi version, i.e., you start with a matoran mask, then a noble mask, then a great mask, then a nuva mask, then a legendary mask suck as the Ignikia?

We could use assigned moderators to check who di such thing and maybe they could go down a level if they did too many things for example. Crusher 11:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...I like that proto idea. We'll have to vote on it after the tense voting is done. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
