Can you also SALT the rotating lava shield. Do it at Lego Bionicle:Protected Titles. MarioGalaxy2433g5 { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's where it is. I'd been looking for that. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you mind cleaning out the broken redirects page, most of them need to be deleted. BTW, You might want to see the latest topic in the Community Portal, it's kinda importent. - Panaka lego  19:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I know I'm talking to you alot, but could you make MarioGalaxy2433g5 a Rollbacker? I'm a little cofused, are we supposed to vote, or just ask? - Panaka lego  02:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Go ahead - talk all you want. ;) Just ask - rollback rights are tricky to abuse. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 02:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Should I put that "just ask you" part on the requests for Adminship page? - Panaka lego  02:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah - go ahead. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You might want to delete some of the pages with or  on them. Just be careful to see if there is a discussion on pages with the latter.  MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 23:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You should block 1bioguy, he moved a page to ******* and tried to promote BS01 by saying we copy from them all the time. - Panaka lego  02:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Cool! You are eighteen and I am Nineteen! Happy Birthday! General Kazi ----- Talk 29 April 2008


 * That means... somebody has to spank you 18 times! BWAHAHAHA... (evil laugh) MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You're eighteen? Wow—aren't you supposed to be above this sort of childishness and moving on to bigger and better things by now? (Heh-heh) Mighty MeYou may speak 21:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Bioniclepedia, Mighty Me. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Another vandal needs blocking
A guy named Biomeister swore on his talk page and claimed we plagiarize BS01 (again). Please block him. - Panaka lego  02:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Tsk, tsk. Biomeister gave himself a bunch of extra points. You'd better do something.

Scratch that—he just took all his points away. (???) Mighty MeYou may speak 03:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He did apologize for double swearing. I'm not saying don't block him, I'm just letting you know what he's doing. - Panaka lego  03:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW: about what you said about promoting BS01, the guy was probably blocked there and trying to get us mad at them. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The members of the wiki are supposed to vote on who can become admins, and then the bureaucrat (that's me!) will make them an admin when there's a need. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Does it matter who knows who???Toa Xairos 17:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Daiku, what would you call a time of need for an Admin to be elected?


 * And BTW, LD is going semi-inactive, so we'll be one Admin short. - Panaka lego  04:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of administration, it looks like you'll have to block Thulox Nuva. He's adding false info to pages even after we warned him not to. Several times, in fact. Mighty MeYou may speak 16:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * So you're leaving for good comes this summer? I'll be sorry to see you leave... - Panaka lego  03:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC) (BTW, what happened to my "Revert" button?)
 * For the record, I'm not leaving for good. Just for the summer, and I'll be back on and editing come August, as long as nothing comes up. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 21:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I bring tidings of bad news, or something like that
Bad news. Special:Giverollback has been reported to have stopped working. MarioGalaxy2433g5 { talk /contribs/Logs} 02:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Pssst! That would be, "I bring bad tidings". - Mighty Me
 * Well, we have at least 4 right now, not many more users would want it. As for the wiki I started, Oh no! - Panaka lego  04:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What happened? Mighty MeYou may speak 16:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The page that B-Crats use to give the Rollback button to users isn't working. - Panaka lego  19:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. Mi gh ty Me 03:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Daiku, you know you're basicly the leader of the site, right? Please use your judgement wisely when promoting Administrators, it is your choice. - 15:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the choice of all the users on this site - I'll be promoting the ones with the most votes. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 20:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It is? Anyway thanks for being there for me Daiku. Toa Hagah Kazi ----- 3 Days till Graduation!!!
 * A request for adminship can be rejected by the b'crat if it was made in bad faith. Make sure you know that because Kazi was flaming. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC) (Note:Moved from middle of page by .)
 * Daiku, you need to remember that Administrative access should only be given to trusted users who deserve it. - 22:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Auserv's idea
I just thought I'd better tell you the new plan Auserv came up with, Kazi, MG and myself have already agreed to it. So when you leave in a week or two, you promote MG and myself, and I'll be taking a four week vacation this summer. When I do, Auserv will promote Kazi, then when you come back, we'll have two active B-crats and three active Sysops. And again, Auserv, MG, Kazi and myself have already agreed to it. We just needed to let you know. - Panaka lego  22:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Got it. I saw mentions of the idea, but never the whole thing at the same time. It sounds fine to me. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 04:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

This 189.146.74.62 user needs to be scolded for adding false info. I'd do it myself, but it doesn't mean much when it's not coming from an admin. Mi gh ty Me 21:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure it does, go scold him yourself. =P - Panaka lego  22:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay Mi gh ty Me 22:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, you might want to keep an eye on 98.17.82.97. He added a name to the First Toa's page, probably made-up, but if it's a spoiler we don't want it getting out. (And you don't need to kill me, I've already forgotten what it is.) Mi gh ty Me 22:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Dates
Could you date these events as well as you can? I need them so that I can update our history. Thanks!


 * When you became a Sysop.
 * When you became a B-Crat.

I'll probably think of some more later, but these are the most importent. - Panaka lego  23:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I don't think I need anymore info at the moment. - Panaka lego  23:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't Bold Clone be blocked for his vandalism? Mi gh ty Me 23:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * He thinks he's helping us by getting rid of the "useless articles/info". - Panaka lego  23:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * We've told him to stop, (Several times) and he's continued anyway. BTW, why do you have an account on BS01? Mi gh ty Me 23:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

What's wrong with that? Super Kazi ----- It's a biggie beat


 * He says he prefers this site. Mi gh ty Me 00:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I mean this site ain't bad. Super Kazi ----- It's a biggie beat
 * created it to help with our relationship with them. Some BS01 members are helping out here with vandals and the like, so I thought I'd do the same thing over there. - Panaka lego  00:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, that's it. Bold Clone really needs to be blocked. He's still removing info, clearly relevant info, even after many warnings. Mi gh ty Me 02:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Have you chosen a date for the promotions yet? You might want to do it a few days before you leave, so that you can see what you did. =P - Panaka lego  21:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I was just going to in a day or two, actually. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, this is odd... I request for Rollbacker here? :P Racht  19:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, though I think I should add a link to the other b'crat's talk page too. BTW: Is this an actual request? MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say yes, this is an actual request. Racht  19:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This user is away for the summer. Please ask here instead. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. :) Racht  19:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Daiku sense you are a HUGE star Wars fan,If you want to be Admin on The Force Unleashed Wiki just leave a message on my talk page. Dark Overlord 06:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Bionicle Encyclopedia Volume 1
I like your rewrite of my article, except I changed stickers to STICKERS!!!!!!!! back to the way it was. Stickers are cool! Please do not change it. The rest is good though

Main Page Transition
Hi Daiku!

My name is Nathan and I'm another wikia helper with the entertainment team. We're going around helping wikis transition to the new style of main page that will be necessary to support the upcoming ads. I've updated your main page to use the new two-column layout, so if you need any help changing it around, don't hesitate to leave me a message via my talk page.

Thanks!

Rollback
Doesn't sysop have rollback rights built into it already? :-/ Racht  00:15, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The button, yes. But they won't be listed as Rollbackers unless they were Rollbackers before becoming admins. -- Panaka lego  00:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * But is there a point to have rollback rights when one has sysop rights? Why have both of them for one person? Racht  00:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So that you can say "Rollbackers get X and Y," which is much easier than saying "Rollbackers and Sysops get X and Y." That's basically the only reason. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Forums
As a BZPower staff member, I could like to point out that if you guys wish to continue being allowed to be mentioned, you must remove your forums. BZP's rule is that sites cannot have forums, and Bioniclepedia quite obviously does. Failure to do so will probably lead to Bioniclepedia being blocked on BZP. -Electric Turahk (Talk) 00:26, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The forums were arguably one of my best contributions to this wiki. Will 200 Leviathans and 1000 Atomic Bombs change your mind? (ToaAuserv will know what I mean by Leviathans) Now I am on PL's side about BZP. Well, looks like I should put Plan AFOF into action.  MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 02:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow. Are you stupid? By creating those articles, you just pretty much insured you'll be banned from BZP. If you had instead just freakin' waited so we could talk things out, things might have been different. (Panakalego at least appears to be doing the diplomatic thing at speaking with Black Six - it is possible to receive approval for forums to be linked to, you know. >_> Not being stupid and doing things the BZP staff [of which I am] will hate.) I'd delete those articles now and wait to see the results of PL's discussion. -Electric Turahk (Talk) 13:35, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's hard to tell what B6 will say, he's responded twice with no answer yet. I've given him a link to the "forums" and I'll see what he has to say after that.

MG, I know you aren't too happy about this, but I've made too many mistakes in this area to do anything else. I still have to ask how will you feel about directly banning general bionicle disccussion (this question is for all the Bpedia admins)? As ET pointed out, the sooner we decide to delete those topics, the better. I'm not quite willing to delete the entire forum, though.

And btw: ET, I know we got ourselves into this situation, but the response you gave above is pretty much frowned on. I have to ask you to not talk to anybody like that again. -- Panaka lego  01:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Daiku, please read my lates post in the admin chat topic. -- Panaka lego  23:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Patrolling
New Page patrolling is enabled for sysops only, but Recent Changes patrolling isn't enabled. It seems that New Page patrolling is enabled for sysops for all wikis by default. MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 18:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for making me a rollbacker Daik, I know you said to never speak of it again, but I had to say thankyou.

Hello
Hey, where've you been? Busy? Doing your "Silent but still here" thing? I only ask because I haven't seen you edit in a while. And I was wondering if I should (for the heck of it) request for B-crat? I'm here more then most. -- Panaka lego  17:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh no. I am on a wiki I have made that is why I am asking. Cheers Kazitan ----- Talk 8 September 2008

Aww I really hate to hear you say that but thanks. Cheers Kazitan ----- Talk 8 September 2008

 * Just a simple FYI, but you are the only active BC period. Auserv is having computer trouble (broken laptop), LD760 doesn't care about Bionicle anymore (if I understood him correctly), and LL simply has a life off the computer. Just thought I'd clear that up. And I feel like I insulted you somehow, you've been acting like Kopaka recently. -- Panaka lego  00:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't telling you to change your vote, but you needed to know you're alone. =P
 * And what college are you going to? -- Panaka lego  00:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tch, Frontier, School of the Bible is the place to go. And thanks Daiku, I'll make sure I don't promote any vandals. -- Panaka lego  01:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

She has. And this is the only place I can talk to her.

Daiku, I have an idea, wanna hear it?

I'd probably tell you anyway, whether you liked it or not ;).

Why don't we use the forums, or create a section, for set reviews (Updated from time to time by me)? Like BS01 with KanohiJournal. Wadda you say?

I'd enjoy that. I'm sure I'd be better at reviews than those review rookies on Youtube, and I'm 12! They spend ages focusing on the box, plus most of them should buy better video cameras. One review I found on Lhikan and Kikanalo was terrible. No positivity at all. But I think I'd be better even though I've never done a review in my life, but I've read enough of them on BZP to know what the readers want.

Or we could put all of my reviews here and people could leave their feedback on the talk page. We'd Archive it every now and then of course. But you're right, we'd have to have a vote first. And about the sets: I only need four more of this year's sets: Mazeka, Mutran and Vican, Jetrax T6 and Rockoh T3.

I found it!
Here you have this for regard of your patience. Thanks, Daiku. Paste the following code to your page and it´s ready. Tell me if don't work... Two curly opening brackets ({{), Character Infobox,One vertical bar (|), Image, One vertical bar, Species, Two vertical bars, Kanohi, One vertical Bar, Two square Opening brackets ([), Colors, Two square finishing brackets(]), Two Vertical bars, Two square opening brackets, Occupation, Two finishing square brackets, one vertical bar, Tools, One vertical bar, Location, one vertical bar, Status, Two vertical bars, Pronunciation, One vertical bar, Write the color you want for the Box and two finishing curly brackets (}) When you have finished:

TA, DA!

Hi, Daiku. Recently I send you a message with the necessary stuff for making a Biographical Table. --Irate storms 18:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hope you understood. Don't put spaces and commas in the code.
 * I don't add a signature because I want to sleep, it was 9:00 o' Clock here and I was sleepy. My father said I have to shut down the computer myself, or he will shut down himself forcefully. He click in Save message, and he forgot put the signature.
 * Enjoy your Table!

Daiku, does my user talk page look ready for archiving???

My Persuasive Essay
Daiku, I understand (sort of) what you were saying about my persuasive essay. You see, the thing is, don't you think it would be better without a rating system? In my resaerch, it was created to help admins see who is good and who is bad, but because of peoples leziness, it hasn't helped. Don't you think it would be easier to get rid of it once and for all? Ratings is just, well, I want to type mean, but that doesn't make sence. Like I said in my essay, its like rating people, only in this perspective, rating peoples behavior. Take out the behavior and its just people. I feel that it should be deleted. If someone is bad, a note should be sent to all administrators telling them that this person is bad and this person is good. That is what I do on Disney Channel wiki. I tell them that this is happening and that if they should fall into it, heres what you should do and heres what you need to know aboiut it. Plus, I was thinking about sending everyone, i mean EVERYONE, a note about my petition, but after I saw how many active users there are on Bioniclepedia, I gave it up. Now, this also affects the rating system. There are so many users on Bioniclepedia that its hard to keep track of. Now, imagine that, but with one more user coming everyday. It keeps gettign harder, and in my resaerch theres one, maybe two people in charge of the rating system. It also seems that there are only admin in charge of it at all. Even if you put all of the administrators in charge, they still have alot of work. Now, I imagine that this rating system was created when the wikia was still small. They probobly didn't expect so many users to come to Bioniclepedia. As you and I can see, if this is what they thought, they're wrong. Even with all of the admins and rollbackers in charge of the rating system, with everyone assigned, say Users starting with A-E, it'd still be a hassle. It is in my experience that people, after a while, become lazy at what they do. I've done it too. You probobly have too. Now, imagine all of the administrators working on this rating system. Now imagine someone becoming lazy. Another admin takes his place and has more work. Then that admin becomes tired and quits working on the rating system. And maybe thats not the only reason. Imagine someone growing out of Bionicle. Imagine an administrator growing out of Bionicle. More and more have to take their job untill there are only a couple of people (lets say three) in charge of this responsibility. At first their jobs were small and they've gotten bigger. Now one person has to handle 20 to 30 maybe 40 users. He/She has to keep track of those users contributions and his/her behavior on Bioniclepedia. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd get pretty sick of it. That user quits the job and its down to two people managing the thing. How does this all start? Because people are lazy. Its a common thing, and it can't be stopped. Now, imagine life without a rating system. No one is forgetting their responsibilitites, and life continues. I'm not saying that this would be paradise, but life would be easier. There would still be rules. To people, it doesn't matter about their rating. They don't care, and because of laziness, other people don't care too. Now, if this rating system were to go away, admins wouldn't have to worry about keeping track of Users so much. That alone would make me feel better. If yuo decide that you want to, please sign my petition. I'm also thinking about putting this into a second part of my essay. Please, think about it. -- <font color="Green">Or my name isn't...Pirakafreak24!!!!

Contact
Hey Daiku, is there any way I can contact you privately (that you check often)? I have something to tell you, and I can't let just anybody see what I have to say. I'm trying to contact all of the admins, and you're the one I can't seem to get a hold of. It's regarding Bioniclepedia's future, and that in itself isn't something I can let some users read about freely... -- Panaka lego  02:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Daiku, rather than puting your email address on his talk page, you could have just typed it in your prefs and told him to use Special:EmailUser so nobody else sees it. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 23:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

A Way to Understand...
Ok, so you've asked why I dislike the rating system, and I'm going to explain this as easily as I can. Please keep in mind that I explain things alot like Ian Malcom in Jurassic Park (the book not the movie). Ok, so the reason for me disliking the rating system is, lets see, I don't like it becuase of many things. Firstly, I've said before, The rating system is disorganized. In the rating system, it reads, "The Rating System is a system that gives each member a rating; this rating starts at 0 and can go up to 20 or down to -20. This way the admins can track who has been good and helpful to the website and who has a reputation for vandalism or misbehavior without having to scan their contributions. When a new member joins, a rating template is added on a protected subpage of their userpage. This subpage is then transcribed onto their userpage so everyone can see their rating with one click. The rating system is currently run by ToaAuserv."

Now, seeing that it is run by Auserv, you and I both know that auserv has been called lazy. I've even read a message from Panakalego when I talked to him about it, and it reads, "...Auserv was going to reboot the entire thing himself, this stuff has already been decided. But I have no idea why he isn't doing anything here anymore. If he keeps it up, he'll risk demotion..." This is only one of the ways it is disorganized.

On the rating system page, it reads under gaining points, "Gaining points requires a lot more work than losing points, but it is worth the effort. At the end of every day (or as soon as possible), ToaAuserv will tally up all of the edits made that day and judge which ones were "quality edits" (basically, something that contributed something of significant value to the wiki; not just reverting vandalism or correcting a typo). ToaAuserv will keep track of each editor's amount of quality edits. Every time the amount reaches 50, that user will gain a point. To reach 20 points, someone would need to lose no points and get 1000 quality edits." Do you realy think that he does that? That's alot to ask of one person.

This rating system has caused alot of problems, and because Auserv is expected to do this, its causing him to be lazy, and PanakaLego is planning to demote him for it. This all has one cause. The rating system. If you ask me, the world has enough problems, and if we can perfect or get rid of one, it helps.

I hope that helps answer your question, and if there is more you want to know, I'll be glad to give it to you. -- <font color="Green">Or my name isn't...Pirakafreak24!!!! ( <font color="Orange">PUH-LEASE leave a message! ) <font color="Purple">Bioniclepedia and Disney Channel Wiki ROCK! 23:08, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I never once said I would demote Auserv because he isn't living up to what he said. All inactive admins are demoted after a certain period of time. And I meant that it would only happen if he didn't come back for about another four months anyway. Again, you're just trying my patiants, you're going around, trying to "persuade" users into voting against the rating system. Something that some people have put a lot of hard work into. The Rating System itself hasn't done anything that you claim it has. And you seem pretty brave for doing what you are after just recently getting blocked for a fairly large amount of offenses. And I have not seen one user who is really helpful to the wiki vote against the System. If you can get two of the Featured Users to sign your petition, then I'll take you seriously. Remember that a petition does nothing by itself, all it does is try to convince the ruling power that the subject of said petition is importent. So far I'm not convinced. -- Panaka lego  02:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
