BPedia Link
Is it just me or is anybody else getting a broken server connection apology when they click on the Hyperlink that should lead to BPedia?

Theres a problem in BPedias Mediawiki software and The Oracle (the webmaster) is trying to fix it. -Monasti (Talk)

Signed out
Wel, this doesn't really have much to do with the front page, but I set myself on 'Keep me signed in on this computer' But if I leave my computer on, or leave it on standby then it signs me out.... Uhh, why?

Hero factory (perhaps) ending--start bugging lego about Bionicle.
Hey, any Bionicle fan to see this page; ther are rumours that hero factory is ending!!!!!!! Isn't this great? Hopfully Lego will come to their senses & bring back Bionicle! I mean, we all know ending Bionicle was the worst decision in the history of buisness--if not the worst in history in general!!!

How about we start pestering Lego (the more letters a day, the better) to bring back Bionicle, pointing out their bad sales, their dropped popularity, & Bionicle's undying legacy. Please support this view with comments, & have fun bugging Lego!

Can u confirm this?Blahmarrow 19:46, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, it's moved out of "most popular" with Lego's home page, & I think V. 4.0 is just fizzling out, because of the lack of information about it.

Sweet.Blahmarrow 22:25, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

DO IT!! They coulld make Tuyet, Miserix, Helyrex, Artahka, And SOOO many others!! This is a great idea!

That is the best idea of the century, in my opinion. For years I've been putting off admitting my severe Bionicle withdrawal, and now I find others think the same thing! There's so much potential in Bionicle yet to be realised, and Lego was horrendously stupid for scrapping it. They'd make a lot of profit from bringing Bioncle back, I'm sure, as my mates at school are annoyed about there being no proper toys anymore-which Bionicles are, beyond a doubt. Come on Lego, get your act together!Toa-of-Banjos (talk) 16:37, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

I go to the official site alot and the most popular section only has three different themes a weak, accept the first weak of Chima, there, there wasn't aaaaaaanything but Chima. One reason why I think that HF is ending is how little sets each wave. There were only 7 this time, and the pattern seems to get rid of two each time and probably won't have a special edition set next time. It will go down to 4, and then 2, and then it will just fizzle. It will have even more unanswered questions than BIONICLE because, they never answer ANY questions from this god d*(^&^med theme.| Just Simply, BZ. 19:24, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Why do we not have the chat feature?Blahmarrow 21:57, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Join wiki?....
Here's a question for admins; how can I join this wiki and others like it? I mean, I'm sick being "user", or "unanimous". After all, I added the bit about Hero Craptery - factory, - ending. And, if you want my other internet account, just go to, "Flipnote Hatena.com", type into the search box "Matoro", and then go to my account from the result.

It's simple, see the top right of the screen? There's two options on it. "Sign up" and "Log in" Click sign up, and you'll be given a screen that asks for your wanted user name, email, etc. hope it helps! Blahmarrow has just told you that 23:48, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!!

No problem. Blahmarrow has just told you that 20:27, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

It didn't work!?!


 * What happened? Were you able to click on the "Sign Up" link in the corner? If so, were you able to fill out the information? Did it give you an error message? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 01:52, December 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, after I started an account, it told me to sign in. When I did, it said either my password/username was wrong, then it said My account, Toa Oneek, didn't exist! and when I tried to re-sign up, it said "Oneek" was already in use!! Any ideas? Perhaps vandlism???
 * Did you sign in as Toa Oneek or Oneek? There definitely seems to be an account named Oneek that was just made here, but there is no account named Toa Oneek. If you tried to put Toa Oneek as your username, it would not log in. Otherwise, I would say just try again - you might have typed your password wrong. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 16:02, December 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * $#@&*! It says my password is wrong, but refuses to e-mail me a new one! Now what???
 * Not much you can do apart from making another account, and making sure you have the right password. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 18:46, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, I,ve joined under the username Haidron. Thx!
 * Awesome! Now that you're a user, don't forget to leave your signature at the end of your messages, using four tildes ( ~, or by pressing the signature button at the top of the page. I'm glad you were finally able to get your account sorted out. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:18, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

May I inquire as to why the Wiki Staff and QuickNav templates are squashed into the lower right-hand corner of the page? <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Toa  <font face="Samurai"><font color="Black">Roden   18:38, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

How do I...
How do I add to the "did you know" section? I have some quite interesting trivia facts, but I can't figure out how to add them.Haidron 18:16, December 11, 2011 (UTC)Haidron


 * Drop them here and an admin will take care of them. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 18:18, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks!!-Haidron 17:42, December 12, 2011 (UTC)-Haidron

Is it even possible?....
Say, can we incorperate a Matoran text translator into the wiki?? Ya know, so we can type in matoran? After all, I can read and write it fluently, so I personally would realy enjoy such a feature.

Manual of Style
Aren't we supposed to have one of those? I can't find it anywhere. Unless the Tutorial page does the same job. Blahmarrow 20:43, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * There is one, located here.


 * That's what it's called. Okay got it, thanks. Blahmarrow 23:45, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

A Few Comments
Yeah, a few comments. I'll be brief:
 * 1) Would someone with admin access please change the external Wiki Metru link to an internal link leading here?
 * 2) Also, why is the Did You Know...? section up at the top of the page, instead of at the bottom where it's supposed to be?

IMPORTANT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As of yesterday, the Great Being has been revealed on BZPOWER. I will allowed the certain Matoran's page to be edited. I am also sooooo excited about it too!!! Kazi22 (talk) 07:45, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

The skin is boring me to death. Can we do another skin since it isn't the barah magna story line, nor any. So, every month we should do a different skinBioniclezilla76 (talk) 00:11, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'll talk with MG and see what we can do to change the skin. Knowledge can be anything or something you know about. (talk) 02:12, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Brickipedia
As of Thursday, Brickipedia has moved off of wikia to http://en.brickimedia.org. It's still called Brickipedia, though, as Brickimedia's just the host site. Anyway, do you think you could change the link to reflect this? BrickfilmNut (talk) 14:56, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Save Our Site!
I have been informed by a friend that the LEGO Group intends to close the Bionicle website- for good! Here's the e-mail they sent him:

Dear, Name Removed

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

Name Removed , I am sorry but are closing down the BIONICLE website completely. We have left the pages running without updates for the last several years. However, they are no longer supported by more recent Internet software. I know that this is disappointing news to hear.

Some of the updates on LEGO.com mean the BIONICLE® web sites and games on them aren’t going to function properly in the future. Our company motto is “Only the best is good enough”, so we closed the website instead of offering a poor online experience. The decision wasn’t easy, so we did what the tales of the Toa had taught us: to succeed in any mission we need imagination, new ways of thinking and the willingness to take some risks.

I apologize for any disappointment and I will pass along your comments to our web team.

Thanks again for getting in touch. We're always pleased to receive feedback from LEGO fans! If you could take a moment to complete a four question survey by going to the link below, it will help us make sure we are providing the best customer service to you.

Please let us know if you need anything else.

Happy building!

BIONICLE RETURNS 2015!!!
Hi I'm MAZEKA (talk) 10:17, September 14, 2014 (UTC) I'm sure you'll all want to know this very important fact. Next year, 2015, is the return of BIONICLE!!! sadly they are made with the hero factory parts but still look pretty cool. Not only that but it is a reboot and the storyline is almost identical to the start of the original one. Makuta gets jealous of his brother, his brother falls into a deep slumber, the Toa go on a quest for masks, why can't it just be a continuation? Sets include Lord of Skull Spiders, Tahu, Gali, the Protector of ice and more. A color image of the display stand has been put up onto the internet so I don't see how this can be a fake. The top of the stand shows Tahu reaching for a mysterious mask while the Lord of Skull Spiders comes from the other. And in the top right corner is what could be the head of Makuta Teridax.


 * BREAKING NEWS- LEGO has finally released full color pictures of the sets! They feature Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Kopaka and Phohatu, but I don't see an Onua! There is also a Lord of Skull Spiders, which seems interesting! Each set comes with a golden version of the "guardian's" mask, and is guarded by a tiny simple spider, with a mask for its back-piece(kinda like the Fikou Spider). They are made with improved Hero Factory joints and armor, and some wicked looking weapons. Can't wait to hear more! - BenjiZane12

Yes that's exactly what Matoroavak2006 said (well thought of, just click on the link below). MAZEKA (talk) 15:57, October 11, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA


 * Well, this user IS indeed correct, as we have more proof of Bionicle 2015. What is it you ask? http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=289265


 * Nuff said. Matoroavak2006 (talk) 19:37, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

And as if we haven't given enough evidence already, there is now a Bioncle page on the lego website at the bottom of the products page. MAZEKA (talk) 10:35, September 27, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA

LEGO literally announced it a week ago. It's not even a matter of debate anymore.  Shadow master    (Contribs)   21:09, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Bionicle storyline continuation
Ok here's the deal. The Bionicle story line is over. The 2015 series is a reboot. So in my blog I have started writing my own continuation of the story. I currently have the first to chapters of "Rise of the Toa Spherus" and will make new chapters at least once a week. But I will not make any more stories unless I get some comments. Also I am making the new characters and putting pictures in so you could even send me pics of your made up models so I can use them as characters. I am hoping to become this wiki's Greg Farshtey but this will not work without support. If you want you could send in ideas for story plots or get in touch and we could write joint ideas (I'm only available at weekends). I can also tell you how to build each character if you're really keen.

MAZEKA (talk) 17:58, October 11, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA

I don't like to be one to shamelessly advertise, but this is really something that belongs on the Custom BIONICLE Wiki. A fan-made continuation of the original BIONICLE continuity really has no place on a fully canon-based wiki.  Shadow master    (Contribs)   19:39, October 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seconding SM's suggestion here. CBW is a great wiki and your continuation of the story would fit well there. There's nothing wrong with posting fanfic in your blog (unless that's ALL you're doing rather than editing and helping out the wiki), but there's a whole wiki for Bionicle fan fiction, where your project is likely to get a lot more attention. ToaAuserv ? 20:41, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

Ok thanks! MAZEKA (talk) 09:03, October 12, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA

Skin
Ok with the new wave we definitely need to change this place's skin. Bara Magna saga is no longer the most recent wave of bionicle so let's remove this brown and baise colorscheme with the arena on the title image should probably go.

<font color="Silver">The Master of both Kaiju and BIONICLEs will return the call! 20:47, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Tahu 2015 review
Ok, I've just watched a video made by somebody who has actually got there hands on the 2015 Tahu set and done a review on it. So, I'm assuming you all know what it looks like by now but do you know what it does? So first there's the head piece which is similar to the old Bionicle head piece, with a translucent piece held in by a red pin for the eyes. The Kanohi seem to have been designed to go on similarly to the original. Instead of having a pin holding them on, they clip onto the sides of the head, however this does mean they can fall of pretty easily. Also the eye-piece, like the ones first used with the Toa Metru, has a bit sticking out at the back. This is used as a kind of lever, when pushed down the mask flicks of, making it easier to remove them. Down to the torso, this made of two pieces, your standard Hero Factory torso and a new gear box. That's right, they've brought back swinging arms. Another thing, I for one was disappointed about them being built out of Hero Factory parts. The Bionilce pieces were more complex and looked better. But these new Bionicles are built with some new pieces as well, making them more complex, like a cross between the two products. Lego seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to make the new models like the original, with the masks, gears and they've included some of the old pieces such as Rahkshi staff tips. Also there's the Skull spiders. the bodies of which are Kanohi and can attach to the new head pieces, just like the Krana in the original series. Oh wait, this has just come to me, if the Skull spiders are Krana, that makes the Lord of Skull Spiders the Bahrag. MAZEKA (talk) 16:40, October 18, 2014 (UTC)MAZEKA
