Organization
Hey guys, I'm new to these parts. My name's Shawn, and I'm a Wikia Helper checking the place out. You guys have a pretty amazing database built up so far - there's definitely a lot more to it than I originally thought (I'm something of an old-old-schooler, as the only sets I have are some of the original Happy Meal promo kits and the first Onua).

I do have a couple of suggestions simply regarding organization. I've been looking around the books sections and noticed there's not really any kind of set template for them. Some of the book articles are more organized than others - might it help users coming in solely looking for info if there was something more standardized?

I also noticed a lot of uncategorized pages that might have something to do with BIONICLE video games (things like enemies, locations, etc.), but I wasn't sure as I'm not too familiar with them. How do you guys treat video games within the BIONICLE mythology, and would there be a good way to categorize them in their own section? Shawn 19:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Shawn. I just want to tell you that I have a story that I am writing about Bionicles. It's on my Userpage. Please check it out and tell me what you think.Brandox 17:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Please leave all new messages at the bottom. People will be more likely to read the message. Anyways I'll work on the uncategorized pages. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Shawn. You brought up two very good points; allow me to be the first to address them (though hopefully not the last, since I would like to hear my fellow admins' opinions on this). =)


 * About the books, we have a Manual of Style, but there is no entry for a book article, which is why there is no set template. Changes will have to be made to the Manual of Style accordingly. As for the actual process of standardizing them we are working on creating a project page where things that need work are posted for anyone to work on; this will be put on there when we get around to making it.


 * I would also agree with you about the video games; in my personal opinion I think it would be wise to have an "Expanded Universe" entry under the Bionicle Knowledge section where we would list video games and other things that don't fit in to the Bionicle canon. Most video game enemies and locations are canon, but the reason they are uncategorized is simply because no one's gotten around to it, LOL. Things like that would also go on the to-do list page. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 19:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thankfully I am a category nut. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * My bad on placing the message in the wrong place, MarioGalaxy! But I'm glad you like the suggestions, guys. I did notice this page had a very nice layout, as it also includes a Contents box. And as far as an Expanded Universe goes, the game info would be a perfect launchpad to start from. I did have another question about how the community actually handles the toys themselves; are they not really a concern here? I'm thinking it might be a useful resource for collectors to go into what kind of packaging is used on which sets, and what sets contain for parts. Is that kind of thing doable, or is the focus more towards the story and characters? Shawn 19:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * With regards to the latter, I don't know. If not, we should be under another hub. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 20:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We focus on the story rather than the actual Bionicle sets, though we do have a sort of iffy "Set Information" section under a lot of the character pages. We do have a "Sets" hub, but it's just a list of all of the Bioncle sets. Perhaps we could have a separate page for each character's set information. It would certainly take a lot of work but it might be worth it. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 20:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Set Information is fantastic! It would just need to be a standard part of the character pages. Having the Sets articles link back to the character pages is a great idea and would be a good way to keep the article organization tidy. Like MarioGalaxy says, keeping a record of the actual toys is what keeps this a Hobby wiki rather than an Entertainment one. All this is stuff that's just off the top of my head right now, but I'd love to keep a dialogue on it going! Shawn 20:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I think we might want to look at the neighboring Brickapedia for ideas. MarioGalaxy2433g5 { talk /contribs/Logs} 20:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This isn't intended as much as a knock on Brickipedia as much as a testament to how well you guys have been doing so far, but I don't really like their organization at all. They have very few links that can take you directly to useful info and not much information on any random set's article. I think what they HAVE done well is organized the information they do have info boxes under product art. Maybe that'd be a good direction to take? Shawn 21:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, disregard that whole statement. I'm brand new to this community and you all, and the last thing I want is to come off as trying to tell you how the wiki should be run. We can come back to it as an issue later if you guys want to, but right now I'm here to help. Cool? Shawn 22:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Boo! Sorry about not being online today, it was a busy day for me. About set info: a lot of people don't care about how many pieces are in the sets when they're looking for storyline info (which is mainly why we exist), but I don't really see anything wrong with it. And with all this talk about books, we could do with a few templates for each series.


 * BTW: Hello, Multimoog/Shawn, you are a wikia helper, aren't guys supposed to shout out ideas like this? =P -- Panaka lego  00:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * About the pieces, yes they would. If they lost the box, they would want to know if they lost any pieces. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why would they come here for it? Most users will just think it's clutter, but I think we should vote on it. -- Panaka lego  02:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

If they lost the box they wouldn't know how many pieces there are. Why would they come here? The answer is, Search Engines. Also if we don't include the information, I'll ask Wikia to move the wiki to a different hub. MarioGalaxy2433g5 { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I still say we should vote on it. -- Panaka lego  19:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, we should. Personally I'm in favor of it--it'll give us something other Bionicle reference sites don't have--but we should still vote on it. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 22:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A vote's good, and mine (obviously) goes to 'yes'. It seems that having a comprehensive repository of all BIONICLE information would only make this wiki stronger. And following the basic wiki principle, it shouldn't be too much work - if a template is constructed, and everyone listed the pieces for at least one set they own, a lot of info would be filled in quickly and easily. Shawn 22:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Then I shall create it and link to it from the site notice, I'll go ahead and link to it here for you guys: Lego Bionicle:Vote For Pieces. -- Panaka lego  00:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, it sounds like: "Vote for pieces! Vote for pieces for class president!" Just thought I'd point that out. -- Panaka lego  02:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * And I just lol'd, so that's a good thing :P Shawn 03:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Books
Wow, I had no idea my piece count suggestion would be taken so well! That's awesome!

I've been thinking a bit about the Books section again as well, and how we could use a template for it. I like this page, as it really just adds a Contents box at the top, and makes the page look a little more orderly. It wouldn't require much of a change to the contents of most book articles otherwise, as the sidebar is already standard. Alternately, we could remove the Contents boxes from those book articles that have them. Thoughts? Shawn ( talk ) 18:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I say it's something to consider, but I have no feedback for this. -- Panaka lego  14:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism.
There are some newly created pages to be deleted!Mata NuiTalk Contribs 08:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Columns
Even if I use Monaco, the Main Page looks really ugly in columns. It's even worse in MonoBook. It was good before, but that gets pushed down a lot by the ads in Monaco now.  ~ L  i  h 
 * I agree, is it really needed? This is just getting out of hand. -- Panaka lego  05:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * However, if we don't use columns, the ad box will push the entire page down. See Sannse's page that would show what Wikitroid's Main Page will eventually be like when the second ad comes. Wikitroid doesn't have the second ad on the main page yet, possibly because they are smaller than us. MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 15:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikia really wants all the wikis to use the new format. If you don't believe me see this. You might want to redesign the main page so that it works better with the ads, because soon enough all wikis will have the ad box on the main page, whether it fits the design or not.--M atoro 183 (Talk) 15:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Categorize the Main Page?
It is probably going to happen because it is on the Uncategorized pages. What should we categorize it under? MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 16:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ? -- Panaka lego  16:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * On another wiki Im at, we have a "" for any articles that don't fit into anything else. - LD760 { Grovel for mercy }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 07:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC) But that might not always work here.

I agree with Panakalego

New Mistika pictures.
Hi guys! Do you have any good pictures for the Mistika Page? Btw917 00:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Did You Know...
Hi I just made an edi on the Did You Know section on the main page whick is also about Bionicle Heroes that is true about the Toa Inika all having four-spikked feet which is true. If you don't believe me look at pictures or videos of the Toa from this game which show their feet. -Bioleader 09:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

New Banner Logo
Great job on the new banner logo guys, it looks so much better on the main page! LegoLover 17:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Woah! Eye-catching. I don't mean to sound nit-picky, but could whoever made it (and did a great job) get those little black corners covered up? Other than that, I think it's great. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 15:42, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be Hammerise who made it. MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 16:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, what black corners, Daiku?  • Hammerise
 * Do you not see black corners around thet text (particularly in the top-right corner)? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 17:03, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, didn't see them before, but I can fix it, no prob.  • Hammerise
 * Better? =)  • Hammerise
 * Tried to fix the "A"... is it good now or was it better before?  • Hammerise

Featured Image
I think we should add a featured image section to the main page. What do y'all think? 22:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC) LEGOLOVER { Talk to me. }

Hmm....good idea, I like that. |\/|akao |\/|istika {  Talk  |  contribs  |  Signature Archive  }

Overlap
Something is wrong with the coding or something, and it's making the featured article overlap yer logo. :O  «| Bfa |» 
 * We know, it's the stupid ads wikia put on the main page. Not the featured article template. I'll try to fix it soon... -- Panaka lego  15:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see it overlapping. Must be your browser or something. It is fine on IE7. MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 15:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Well something isn't right… :/  «| Bfa |» 

New Edit Tab
Hey guys - Wikia is trying a new experiment with getting new people to edit pages. What we want to do is change the Edit bar at the top of pages so there's a simple tab around "Edit This Page", which will make it stand out a bit. The idea is that this will make it more eye-catching to users who aren't as familiar with the Monaco look as some of you are.

Like I say, this is an experiment. What we want to do is take the data from, say, the past month and compare it against a two-week trial period where we'll have the Edit tab active, and compare to see if there's a change in the number of viewers editing pages. We want to use Bioniclepedia, since we need info from a new Toys wiki, and you guys have a lot of traffic through here. You can see an example of how it looks in use on Muppet Wiki.

Let me know what you think! Shawn ( talk ) 21:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I didn't get any responses to this, so I went ahead and made the change. If anyone has a question, please ask! Shawn ( talk ) 18:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Shawn, I'm sorry I didn't notice this earlier. Your help is appreciated. -- Panaka lego  22:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I could've sworn I replied to this. Oh well - I was gonna say it's a great idea. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Cool - and thanks for letting us do the experiment here. You guys are a great community! Shawn ( talk ) 05:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, that's one way to get people to switch over to Monaco. But I'll stick with Monobook on BS01 xD -- BS01Swert 07:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing is, I can't tell the difference. MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So, what's everybody's opinions on this? Honestly, it's throwing me off - I keep thinking that the white tab is the article tab, and that the edit tab is right next to it. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't have a problem with it myself. -- Panaka lego  00:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

2009 Info
I was wondering if we have any policy yet towards 2009 info. Also, because we're entering a whole new era of BIONICLE, we need to discuss any changes that need to be made to templates, sidebar, etc. LEGOLOVER { Talk to me. } 23:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I thik the skin should be changed. Not that theres anything wrong with it, I just think that it could be changed. Blue and white is the default skin. We could even customize the skin. I just think it would look better. As for the sidebar, maybe add a category for Toa and Villians or something? The rating system needs to be improved abit.-- MichaelCrichtonfan24 (PF24) ( Talk ) It is my regret to inform you that Michael Crichton has died of cancer. I am sad. 04:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Main Page in New Category?
Why is the Main Page in the Matoran Universe category? I can't exactly say that it belongs... Panaka lego  19:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I think it's because of the templates, like how a few users have categories too. OsmiuMap 20:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, I think that's my fault... I'll fix it tommorow...  • Hammerise( talk )
 * It doesn't say it is on the bottom of the page, but on the sidebar. Wierd. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 15:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Notices
I noticed in the notice section that the first notice states no copying from other Bionicle sites, but we're copying from BIONICLEstory.com all the time. So it it only referencing BS01? If so, it's unneeded, a BS01 member can report and prove if they think a member copied something. They already do anyway, exept for the prove part, but it's not hard to look up anyway. We mention no copying in the site rules page, that should be enough. BTW: I have my widgets set to see problem reports the moment I log in, so I'll get to it faster when actually reported. Panaka lego  (BP Ad min) 04:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

RE:Lego Bionicle:Request for Site Leader
I suggest you put a link to that on the Main Page and the Sitenotice. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 17:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler in the search box
This seems like the best place to put this. I was just waiting for the recent changes to load up when the words "Teridax loses!" flashed up for a second in the place of the search thing. I'm unsure if i've missed something but this seems like a spoiler to me. Could someone who knows more than me about search boxes maybe look into that?
 * That's odd. In fact, that's very odd. I can't get that to show up - what page were you on before you went to Recent Changes? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 19:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strange... BTW, it's not really a spoiler, because everyone knows sooner or later Teridax will have to lose. =P ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 19:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Well I was on recent changes (i've got main & all saved in my favorites) It automatically comes recent changes all when I turn on the Internet, so I clicked main and the spoiler cam up in the space of the searchbox for a few seconds, then it disappeared and the normal left hand side stuff showed up.


 * I tried the same thing, and I can't get it to show up. But even so, as Auserv said, it's not a spoiler, since Teridax losing isn't a spoiler for any upcoming material. Although it is a most curious glitch - let me know if you get it again. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait, so when you go to recent changes, the search box in the left says "Teridax Loses!" for a second, then dissapears when everything comes up? <font style="font-family:comic sans ms;"> Ld760 <font style="font-family:comic sans ms;"> O HAI

Correction, it DID but only when the page was loading. It appears to be fixed now but I advise everyone to keep an eye on the search box in future incase this is more serious than it looks. I'm not saying it will, but if it does happen again then report it here. It could be more serious next time... if it happens again...

Oh! sorry Auserv! I must have missed your bit on how it isn't a spoiler. Well why would anyone (or anything if it was a glitch or a bug or something) actually put something to do with the future story line down in the search box for no reason? Anyway, we don't know what will happen yet. For the past eight years Bionicle has surprised us with year finalies we never would have expected. 2006, who knew bionicle would go from the barren wastelands of Voya Nui to the watery world of Mahri nui? 2003, Who knew bionicle would go from the island paradice of Mata nui to the ciy of Metru nui 1000 years ago? Bionicle could just have the entire universe gang up on Teridax, he kills them all, and the great beings come and beat him up?! Its unlikely but it could happen and Teridax would actually win in a way! As a wise bionicle once said (I forget which one) "The future is not set in stone" Anyway, the future sertainly is not set in stone and as i am trying to explain, could be completely different to what people think will happen. I can come up with for this is that someone randomly inserted "Teridax loses!" into one of the MediaWiki pages, but only an admin can do that, and what admin would? Besides, searching the MediaWiki pages, I don't see anything in any of the coding that says that. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 22:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

BS01-BPedia Bara Magna Map
Link to Map.

Just so everybody on BPedia understands the score here.

BS01 (led by me) owns Roxtus, Tajun and Tesara.

BPedia (currently led by Panakalego) owns Vulcanus, Iconox and The Wastelands. (If I could find a page here, I'd link it.)

BS01 also owns the Black Spike Mountains, and the Hot Springs.

BPedia also owns the White Quartz Mountains, and one quarter of an Oasis we found. Currently, they have an "alliance" with Bonehunters.

BS01 pledged to destroy said Bonehunters when their usefulness is at an end. BPedia has agreed.

The line connecting the Tesara and Roxtus areas is an underground tunnel. This way, neither area is cut off from each other by the BPedia borders. It is only for transportation, not for bad stuff.

The city of Atero and Creep Canyon are off-limits.

Now, what this all mean? It means BS01 and BPedia are more or less not fighting. We're at the competiton stage XD -- BS01Swert 10:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

"We'll need to change all of the links to Endless Ocean Planet to Aqua Magna."
There are no more links to "Endless Ocean Planet." I checked its 'what links here'. Can we take down the annoying message now? Terik 02:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Oo.. Your good! Nice work my friend! Yes, I think we can change it now.

Um, is there GOOD reason that everything is now, um, desert brown? rather than the white?Toafan13 15:19, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Why? Don't you like it? The reason it has changed is because Bionicle is in Bara Magna now, not Aqua Magna, so we thought the last skin was too Aqua Magna and, if we are to continue, we have to fit with the times and change to a more current skin. (My rubbish explanation!) Basically, this skin is more Bara Magna. Hope I helped.

RPG
Hi guys. I'm mtmerrick. I'd like to tell you about an text-based RPG I run, which, for lack of a better name when it was created, is simply called Space Wars. It is a Star Trek meets Star Wars Universe, set in the year 3009.

We use the Star Wars timeline, but pushed forward 100 years, so we can factor in the real life timeline, and things that take place in the timeline since Star Trek began having discrepancies with real life, like Lilo and Stitch, and Ben 10.

The Milky Way and the Triangulum Galaxy were destroyed by the Borg, but after the Borg were wiped out, My character, Marik, and a changeling named Raks made a new galaxy, simply called he Great Galaxy. However, the relative peace and stability of the Federation-Republic is being destroyed by the IESA, a faction of Sith, combined with every other bad guy in the local group, and the Anterian ShadowClan, a group of demented aliens from the farthest reaches of the universe, who are out for conquest of the Great galaxy.

You can join the Jedi, Starfleet, the Sith, or even be a space pirate! Any aliens from the Ben 10, Lilo and Stitch (no experiments though), Star Trek, or Star Wars are allowed, or make your own species!

Now how does this apply to bionicle, you ask? In 2090, the Matoran Universe was found. Centuries ago, Teridax, as Mata Nui, had lifted off Aqua Magna into space, and Pohtau used his Rohtoch to blast through the southern continent's dome. sadly, this meant that everything and everyone was sucked out of the MU, and killed in the vacuum of space. when the StarFleet archeology team came, they found that humans could use the Kanohi. In an attempt to create an army to drive off the IESA, StarFleet tried to use transporter tech to bring them back to life, but because of the half-matter half-energy of their DNA (Viruses) all atttempts ended in catastrophic explosions. But, before the project was scrapped, about two dozen toa had been created.

Now when Everything got sucked out of the MU, I mean everything. Including Terry's antidermis. It was frozen in the cold vaccumm of space, mut recently, My character has thawed him out. >:D (Funny to note, i'm a good guy. :P ) And also, a group of semi-reformed bounty hunters have decided to free Miserex!

How did this happen? Will they Meet? how 'bout Epic Battles? planets blowing up?

????? WHA.....????? This is one of those moments where I curse my parents for shielding me from society and not letting me watch Star Wars... Anyway, forgive me but its about 3am in my time zone and I'm too tired to remember my own name and haven't quite read the whole thing, but, briefly, what does this have to do with bionicle, let alone the main page?

let me repeat the applicable paragraphs:

NO SKIN
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WIKI?!?! (Botar22 sighs to release frightened feelings ... it fails to work and Botar22 runs in circles around the room ... that works and Botar22 comes back to the computer) There's no skin ... at all. It's all white and it looks scary =O <font color="Red" style="Background:Black"><font color="Red" face="Monotype Corsiva">Botar <font style="Background:Black"><font color="Red" face="Monotype Corsiva">22   20:55, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

 * I double-checked. It must be my server or just my computer. It's like there's no skin at all. All the pages are white and have no style. <font color="Red" style="Background:Black"><font color="Red" face="Monotype Corsiva">Botar <font style="Background:Black"><font color="Red" face="Monotype Corsiva">22   01:01, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

? I don't think anybody's changed anything and it looks the same to me. Do you have computers that have the same problem?
