BZP
Since my view of things evidently means nothing, you should ask ToaAuserv or Panakalego. Mi gh ty Me 01:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Past tense
If you really want to help, all articles are supposed to be written i past tense (like was, were, ctc.) If you want to. - Panaka lego  03:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's kind of hard to find articles that *aren't* in past tense. That's a good thing. :P Racht  03:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Deletion
You don't need to blank a page when it needs to be deleted unless it content is offensive. Thanks! - Panaka lego  23:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but what if someone read the information? Some people might get the wrong information. :P Racht  23:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much and I have no idea when it will be done. Captain Kazi ----- Talk 3 July 2008
 * If the page has the delete tag on it, wouldn't they know better then to believe what's written on the page? -- Panaka lego  04:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete tag or not, taking the extra step of removing the content doesn't hurt, right? And it's possible that someone might miss reading the delete tag. Racht  21:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Rank
Hey Racht:

You have been a very helpful Bioniclepedian, so I boosted your rank from zero to one. Thanks for everything you've done, (and for cleaning up my talkpage.) Enjoy your new status! LEGOLOVER { Talk to me. } 20:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

BTW I am stupid so I must how do you use the Gabbly? Cheers Kazitan ----- Talk 25 August 2008

Hello again
Hi, Racht, I've got some news for you. Now we're both rollbackers. Happy birthday to

Problem
Hey man what's your problem?? Not cool, I detied lewa and antroz because of the comic that shipped in this sept man. Cme on!

You post it
Toa Xairos 01:37, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Can you post em then cause i don't know how start a trivia on pages that don't have a trivia.Toa Xairos 01:37, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you want me to post? Racht  01:40, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Never mind
Nerver mind, check the vehicles and tell me if the edits was any beter then.

Hello!

 * Hi, I am a new user. Do you use Custom Bionicle wikia? That's the one I mainly use... but I know A LOT about bionicle. I just need some help with Wiking.

All I need help with is Character infoboxes, digital images, and SIGS... DEFINETLY SIGS!!!
 * Please leave me a message on Custom Bionicles, I have been DYING for some people to help me put together a story line... and only 2 administrators have responded to my messages. I will leave you a link to custom bionicles but can't give you a direct one to my user. Here is my sig, but just write down my name to search.

"Staff" Job
Hey Racht, I think there's a user group that can check the IP of users. I figured if anybody should have it, it would be you. But it would take a wikia staff member to promote you, so I need to ask them if you can be one. Do you want to be a Checkuser? Note that odds are, they'll say no, but I think it's worth a try. A lot of BS01 members have been asking me for specific users' IP address's. -- Panaka lego  17:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, they will say no. Checkuser is a cross wikia thing (basically you'll have it on all wikia). Only staff and users that have been promoted to checkuser (the only user who has been promoted to checkuser is Uberfuzzy, a janitor with several other tools other janitors don't have) can use the function. Unless you do major cross wiki cleanup and probably become an admin on central wikia, you won't get it. We could just ask a staff or Uberfuzzy to use checkuser though. MarioGalaxy2433g5  10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If it is not possible for anyone to be a Checkuser, then that is fine. IPs could be dangerous in the wrong hands, so I get why they will not allow normal users with it. Racht  20:58, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Reversing changes
Racht, please do not undo an edit which adds new information or images, especially when it reverts that page to a stub. Also, please do not remove images which were added to pages. The main examples of this are the Time and Life pages. Lhikan634 23:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and if you can check messages before your next edit reversal, that would be great. If anything I added seemed unofficial, please post what and why on my User talk and I can check it. Also, one part of the change is the edit to be in the correct format of the elements. You can compare these two as I have them to any element versus how they are now to see this. Another thing is that one of the pages (time, I think it was), was originally a stub but was edited with some more information and the new format. Trivia was also added which is to make sure a common misconception of the power as it has been seen is avoided from spreading. Just a hint for the future, it might be best to compare everything in articles before changing them so that newly-added data isn't deleted as well. Lhikan634 23:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And yet this wiki and all other wikis are released under the GFDL license. In other words, Racht has the right to remove content with or without your prior consent. Simply a page is a stub doesn't therefore necessarily mean he can not remove anything. If the page "Banana" is a stub, and somebody puts on it "A banana is an apple in disguise", would you keep it there because "Banana" is a stub? I don't think so.  * EATS YOUR FACE * 
 * What I was talking about was official information for an official page, Takamos. I could decide to delete everything about the Toa Mata because they were changed, but that would constitute as vandalism. For Racht, all I'm saying is please think twice before deleting information and/or images. There may be reasons why such info should stay on the wiki.

Sysop
Alright, Racht, you're now the newest Bioniclepedia Sysop. If we were BZP's affilate, I'd make a topic about it. =D -- Panaka lego  00:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Adminship
Congrats. Now get to work! XD - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * D'oh! I've been beaten. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, you're fast. =P -- Panaka lego  00:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But you were faster... - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But I was the one who promoted him... -- Panaka lego  00:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, you two. :) Racht  00:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, now that you're an admin, we'll be writing incessantly on your wall, just to bug you. Welcome to Admin Land! - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 01:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh no. :P
 * We should set up some chat where the Administrators can discuss the future of Bioniclepedia. I am sure we all have ideas. Racht  01:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

(Undent) The only future I can see is bedtime. =P I can get on Gabbly... -- Panaka lego  01:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I also have a Google account, which has an IM on it. If you guys have Google, then problem solved! -- Panaka lego  01:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Like...gmail? Got that. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 01:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Congrats. Shame, though... woulda used you on BS01. Ah well, can't steal everyone. That's BZP's job (Literally, I hired my whole first-generation staff and about a third of them became employed by BZP shortly afterwards. I, of course, wasn't.) -- BS01Swert 09:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Jerbraz_image_holder
Racht, this image is for my Toa page as the only way of representing him. I needed a way to still have an image border for him. Believe it or not, it actually makes that section look better by being able to have a form of image there for the meantime. This means that it was not under my consideration of using it for the official Jerbraz page. Lhikan634 13:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The way the image was titled sounded as if it was for the Jerbraz page. Racht  00:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So, does this mean that I will re able to re-upload it for my page, or what? I tried re-uploading it when leaving a message on this page, but it ended up being deleted again. Because Panakalego said that the image was deleted accidentally. I don't want to do something that is unwanted by the people who have power of deletion here. Also, I understand that a few hundred images are on the to-be-deleted-right-around-now-list, and I don't want images I upload to conflict with that. Just wanting to make sure before re-uploading anything lost in the chaos of fall-time cleaning.Lhikan634 20:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Marking the image with a Personal Image template would best, after you uploaded the image. I believe I deleted all the images already. So you can upload it if you want, but name it properly and add a Personal Image template to it. Racht  21:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Myself
http://bionicle.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Toughpigs&diff=next&oldid=57810

I do something suspicious? :P -Duochrome
 * Yeah, you are too good. It's good to have you here, though. Thanks for marking up the unneeded images. Racht  20:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, I spent a bit of time observing how the site works before I joined. And you're welcome. -Duochrome
 * You made me delete 200+ images almost on one sitting. That is a lot. Racht  20:08, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:!
Racht. Please do not delete Template:! as it is needed for Template:Infobox for my user page and the Article I am creating. -- Pirakafreak24 (that's me!) ( TALK!!!! ) Life is full of too much homework. 23:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Blocking
When I block someone a certain way, do not undo it and block them a different way. I know what I am doing. Enabling autoblock blocked Andrew's IP and caused him to be unable to edit. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * IPs are sometimes shared by thousands of computers. You blocked that many people forever. Also, some IPs are dynamic, meaning they change. I have a dynamic IP so once, I tried to edit without logging in, but couldn't because I shared the same IP as someone I blocked the day before. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Me as a rollbacker
Racht, I saw your message and I'm here to repy. I saw that yuo wrote "how?" as the title. I got to be a rollbacker because I got 3 votes. (obviously). You may be right about the shortest voting period, I have no argument against that because I didn't know that page existed until a few days ago. Technically 3 people voted and I asked PanakaLego and Daiku and they said that I could vote for myself. Yes owning 70-80 lego sets doesn't show my qualities as an editor, but I thought you'd like to know that way I can write articles on them if needed. Yes I know I changed your userpage and I'm sorry. I've changed. Back then I was frustrated and tired and I shouldn't've done that and I'm sorry. I'd been going though a time where everyone made fun of me for liking Hannah Montana and I was frustrated and I'm sorry. I know you believe that its too early for me to have rollbacking abilities but other users felt I'd deserved it. Makao even said that I could make a great administrator. I don't need to tell everyone that I'm a rollbacker true, but I thought I'd tell my friends about it. Surely when you became an admin, you were proud and told someone about it. I only told two people, and then in my signature because I'm happy to be one. I've looked up the word "ironic" to make sure I have the right meaning on Dictionary.com and it says, "coincidental; unexpected". Yes it was unexpected that I was made rollbacker. I was shocked too. I also have the feeling that it means unfortunate because of the sentance. "It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner." It was not unfortunate of me to be made rollbacker in most's eyes, and its a littlt rude if that's what you meant, however I understand why. What i don't understand is why you want a revote. That's unfair. I was already made rollbacker and you saying that I shouldn't be is sort of rude even though I understand why you've said that. I must say that you've hurt me in a way. Others have forgiven me for what happened. Can you? -- Rollbacker at Bioniclepedia (PF24) ( TALK ) I'm going to go see High School Musical 3 soon!! Senior Year!!!!!!!!!!!!! 02:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

He does have a point Racht, even though he ruined your page in the past, he's changed since then, and even if you don't have rollback abilities, the problem probably wasn't that major to start with. So now, I can't really see any reason why should have much against him.
 * (And just like that, I pop up and start talking) Pirakafreak had three votes for, I was just about to vote for as well, but I realized that that would be a waste of time (after three votes for, they are promoted). So I went ahead and promoted him myself. I haven't seen him do anything wrong since he was unblocked, and he did the time, so no real problem there. And a bureaucrat has the right to ignore a request, by wikia standards, so are you questioning my judgement?


 * And if you're upset because it took you longer to be promoted, then I'm surprised. Rollback isn't anything too serious, but a request for sysop always is. If Pirakafreak does do something wrong, Daiku or myself can easily demote him. But I don't think we'll ever need to. Panaka  lego  19:55, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Understand this, Panakalego. I do not question your judgment, but now that you asked me such a question, I do question your authority. Do not assume you lead this wiki. All a Bureaucrat does is give members a user right. There is no leader here. I am not upset because it took longer for me to get rollback/sysop. Keep in mind that there were others who took just as long as me to get another user right. If you understand why I wanted a revote, Pirakafreak, then it would not be rude. I believe past actions should play a role in any decision involving new user rights. Any user right can be misused. But if you truly have changed, then I am happy for you. I just think rules here should be a little more strict, or this wiki will hit a decline. I see it already, with few members actually making legitimate edits. Perhaps Panakalego made a wise decision in this promotion because Pirakafreak is one of the few who is helping out on this site. I do not apologize for what I said on your talkpage, Pirakafreak. I am wary, that is all. Racht  21:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm glad you finaly do trust me, and I too am happy. And Panakalego, I'm glad that you trust me. -- Rollbacker at Bioniclepedia (PF24) ( TALK ) I'm going to go see High School Musical 3 soon!! Senior Year!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No need to get huffy with a brother, Racht. I simply pointed out that you nearly insulted me. But if you're going to get authoritative, then hear me out: When did what I say ever make it look like I had assumed leadership? I adminate, I'd give my all to this wiki. If I needed to, I'd even pay for it. Being an administrator means doing what needs to be done to help the wiki. I do not go around getting bossy and telling others that I have authority over them like some tyrant. Do I? All I have ever, I mean ever done here is help the community thrive. When did I say I was better then you? When did I say we follow my rules? All I said was a Bureaucrat can choose to not promote someone to Rollback if the situation calls for it, like a court judge. That is entirely different. So what made you feel you needed to state the #1 rule in an admins duty as if I disobayed it? Panaka  lego  21:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because I disagree with your action does not mean I insulted you. The way you questioned me certainly made me prompt this so called #1 rule statement. I care for the site as well. Racht  00:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What action do you disagree with? Action is a verb (obviously =P), so what exactly did I do wrong? Sorry, I overreacted to something that shouldn't have bothered me. And I believe I had said nearly insulted me. I did make a mistake when I questioned you, and I am sorry about that.


 * Also, Daiku and I brainstormed last night and realised that unless the admins recieve and mantain certain wiki jobs, we're all just gonna get lazy like Auserv. We have to get more strict with adminship, so Daiku and I were thinking that putting a request for adminship should go through the admins first, then (if it passes) it goes on to a community vote. What do you think? Panaka  lego  01:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It is not the question of doing anything wrong. I just did not agree on the timeliness of the voting. But that is over, so it no longer matters. Daiku's and your idea is a great idea. However, it would be best if requests for Adminship be overseen by the Admins, and requests for rollbackship be overseen by the community. If the community votes no for a really good editor, then that poses a problem to Bioniclepedia. Racht  04:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit Patrolling
Recent changes patrolling has been enabled. Remember, to patrol an edit, click diff on the recent changes, than marked as patrolled. Or go to the article, click history, and compare between two revisions. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 18:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So have you let the other wiki know about us mentioning them? Panaka  lego  02:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Racht, you sahould recreate the page about Makuta Tridax. Here is my reason to ask you that.
 * I'm sorry about this misunderstanding, forgive me? Oh, and you need to vote here. Panaka  lego  02:36, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Coding
Hey, do you know the code that has a bunch of things you type in and it switches through them every hour or day? I had the code somewhere else, but it crashed and I lost the code...Legodude760

Suggestion
Why don't you lock up the 2009 related pages? Ignika, Toa    of    Death   Do you want to whine?

Since you are now the ambassador to BS01, and I was already PL's assistant when he handed over the job...I kinda come with the job. Lucky you ;)! I'm now you're assistant, you can now order me around sir!

Admin Vote
There's a new vote on the voting page. Go check it out, and leave your response. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Hullo?
Are you even active right now? You have to be careful about not editing like this. If you're on a trip you should let someone know so that we don't expect you to do anything. As far as we know, you should be editing just like the rest of us... If you're inactive too much longer, you might get demoted... Panaka lego  02:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. I am always active. I notice what's going on here everyday. I just don't edit because I have pretty much already sweeped up edits that I deemed necessary to sweep. Is two weeks really inactive? I would make it a month. Racht  05:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Two weeks is a warning, a month is when demotion happens. And if you're always here then... why haven't you been doing anything? There is always something that needs to be done. You haven't placed your votes, as far as I know, and you haven't responded to any of your messages. You are expected to make at least one edit everytime you log on, and you really haven't been part of the community lately. And are you saying that all the edits worth your time have already been made? No edit isn't worth an admins attention. You're being here doesn't mean you're active, active means action, not watching. So please be more active. We have users who show promise as admins, so if any of the current administrators show signs of inactiveness, or an irresponsability to their work, their administrative access will be given to a more likely candidate. Panaka  lego  01:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not exactly sure why I am getting berated for my inactivity. I have told you before that I am a senior. Senior means applications to get done. These past few weeks, it has been tough to be active. But now that I am done, I will see to it that I will be more active. But I am not sure I needed the lecture. In fact, I did not need it at all.
