SPOILERS
OKAY PEOPLE! For the last time, no unauthorized spoilers. LegoLover 22:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

New
Oh the site has a new sign, that was cool. User:Toa Lanha 27 February 2007

Editing the Main Page
Try to only edit the main page only if you need to make a major change. Also, try not to "section" the MP, because that will create a table of contents, and does not look good on the MP. LegoLover 22:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * If you type on the page, the table of contents won't appear. Angela talk 18:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

No '07?
Why aren't 2007 spoilers allowed yet? It's already March - almost a quarter of the year has gone. - Arban - \Compliment Here/[|See here for more me]\[|My Kanohi Stuff]/ 23:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Articles in need?
Maybe we could replace the Article cleanup with a box that has a stub article to try and get people to edit it. Just a thought. Reply here:

There is near nothing about the new Mistika... That's bad.Mata Nui 17:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

how did you make that baner that says "BIONICLEPEDIA" that is on the front page?
I am sorry if the subject is long, but I would really like to know. --2406 22 May, 2007
 * Well, Image:Wiki_2.PNG is just a normal image. You can create such images with nearly every graphics software. --rieke 21:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Projects
I think we should have like a trouble center where people can comment on things the wiki needs to work on. With me? Against me? Criticising me? Give a yell!- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 22:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a pretty good idea, but I'm not sure I understand it entirely. Could you explain? ToaAuserv 18:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well for instance,the Bohrok Kal issue. Somebody would post that theres some Bohrok Kals with dashes and some without them. Then we'd get somebody to fix it all. Got it now? hoof huff hoof...- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell! }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 21:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay then, that sounds like a really good idea. It'll be better than putting a problem up on the article's talk page or someone's user talk, because that will hardly ever be noticed. Not that there's many people to notice, since you, my brother, and I are the only ones who've edited in the past five days. ToaAuserv 00:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The fantastic Three, we be.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell! }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 00:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I check the site a bunch, but I don't have much time for editing. But I was thinking of starting something like this when I have time again. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 18:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Like a projects thing or the Fantastic Three?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell! }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 19:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

HELP!
Whenever I try to upload a new version of an image,it never works! Can someone help me?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 06:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


 * What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? Angela (talk) 19:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well,after I upload it,the image is still the same,after it takes me back to the image's page.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 20:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sometimes you have to wait 5 minutes for the cache to clear. Which image is it? Angela (talk) 19:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Many,but the most recent is Image:Vhisola.jpg. I tried to get rid of the white boxes on the end but they're still there.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr_L.jpg|24px]] 20:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Templates
So far from what I've seen the templates on this wiki need some Serious help!- Mato ro183 Turaga 183 00:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What is that supposed to mean? ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 01:19, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What did you have in mind?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 05:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should add images to some templates! With me?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 06:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * look here User:Matoro183/sandbox - Mato ro183 Turaga 183 17:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Man...
...I need to be here more. I think I'll be able to now.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 05:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Banners
If you ever need one,just ask me, and tell me whatever you want. Have you seen mine yet?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 06:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Shall I make one for the Holidays? Our...sencored site has some. XP - L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 05:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a nice idea, but I don't see much of a point. By the time the new year rolls around, it'll already be outdated, not to mention that not everyone celebrates the same holidays. Plus we don't want to do something just because the first sector of Bionicle (XD) does it. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 06:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Live action movie details 100%real.
Brute92 says: Yo guys, check out the bottom of my user talk page. Heres the link: user talk Brute92, you have to go to it. Trust me, you want to. Check the very bottom. It's about me making a live action Bionicle movie. SO GO TO MY USER TALK PAGE TO FIND OUT MORE! Brute92 23:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Forum
I have noticed there are no forums yet. People place your user names (a comment is optional) below if you want to help start them, create the individual categories, create an image for when they have been recently edited, etc. MarioGalaxy My talkpage 22:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

People willing to start the forums

 * 1) I'll, once somebody gets an image done, will look at Central Wikia's forum index and create one for here.MarioGalaxy My talkpage 22:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I'd be happy with them. And i'll make the images if no objects.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 23:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm always willing to help, I suppose, though I don't know really know what that would mean. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 01:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Is that good? And can you change the topics once you have them?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 23:41, 15 December 2007 (UTC) -   + - +


 * Oops, sorry LD. My web browser sometimes deletes parts of articles... It's really annoying. Anyway, MarioGalaxy, exactly what is a Wikia forum for--discussion of the wiki's subject or the wiki itself? Sorry if I sound dumb. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 01:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd thiunk both, cause this one wiki I go to has forum and... yeah. -  L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 01:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I like the green mask of life you have there. Brute92 18:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Great the page with the images on it is blocked. Stupid parental controls. MarioGalaxy My talkpage 23:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, ToaAuserv it is for both. Also one category must be the help desk. MarioGalaxy My talkpage 23:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you give me a single image. I need the file name. I'm working on the forums right now. MarioGalaxy My talkpage 23:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Figures, I can't edit Category:Forums because of parental controls. MarioGalaxy My talkpage 23:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Geez, what parental controls allow you to edit a wiki's talk pages but not create categories? If you tell me what needs to be done I'm willing to do so. ToaAuserv { Tell me about it! 15:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Mine. Thankfully I have a Wii with a working Internet connection and will create the categories on there.MarioGalaxy My talkpage 21:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

(Undent)Well I'm waiting for that image. I need seperate pics. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 21:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Forums are a lot like talk pages. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 22:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * For the separate pics--would that just mean taking Legodude's image and splitting it into the individual Ignika images? Because if so, I could do that in MSPaint in a few minutes. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 00:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I only need one, small image. See the Central Wikia Forums to see what I mean. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 16:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's a link to Central Wikia's forums: Forum:Index. So you know what I mean by an image. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 20:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Basically I just need one, small pic. MarioGalaxy {talk/contribs/Count} 23:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Pics
Hey I was wondering. For the pictures of the new Metru Nui Matoran like Damek or other matoran..... where did you get them?!?!?!?!?!
 * they're from the Toa Metru Promotional C.D.s.- LD760 =D { Scream, shout ect. }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 22:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

PerImages
I think the template is just getting in the way. No one ever uses them even after admin requests, and the admins forget about deleting the images later. I think we should get rid of both of the templates...- LD760 =D { Scream, shout ect. } 00:09, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We just need to enforce it better. We need an admin in charge of it. We need a specific amount of time a personal image can be around before being deleted. Then we can keep it. And I'm willing to take the job of enforcing it. (UotM isn't enough for me--I must do more work! =P) What do you say? ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 04:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I use PerImages. --Wierdox 22:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Adoption?
As we all know, Bioniclepedia hasn't had an active bureaucrat since June, when LegoLover made his last edit. I think we should put the wiki up for adoption and get someone else promoted to Bcrat. It would have to be one of the three active sysops--Daiku, Legodude760 or me, and then--maybe--we could promote another user to be a sysop. What does everyone think? ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 17:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, adoption? I don't get it. But, I don't think we'd need another sysop either. And you can do what you like with the PerImages. It's yours. =D - LD760 =D { Scream, shout ect. }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 19:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Adoption just means that a new bureaucrat will be elected, no drastic changes or anything. I guess we wouldn't need a sysop, becuase really the only thing a bureaucrat has that a sysop doesn't is the ability to change user rights. And thank you for the PerImages. =) ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 00:57, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I say yes. A buearau...bureo...whatever, is very important at those select times when you need one, like choosing a new admin. It's easier than asking one of the main Wikia people, and then waiting for them. -Daiku 04:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh heh, looks like your sig was erased too. So...who will it be?- LD760 =D { Scream, shout ect. }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 05:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Shall we vote? =D We need a page for new admin requests, and we could vote there... ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 06:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Here, ya'll. Bioniclepedia:Admin Requests - LD760 =D { Scream, shout ect. }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 06:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Sidoraks Island
Spoiler Alert!

I recently found out on bioniclestory.com in "Federation of Fear" #2 that Sidorak,Krekka, Voporak,and Gladiators home island is called Stelt.- Antroz500 07:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

A revolutional idea!
I have an idea, why wont we make versions Bioniclepedia in different languages too! This would be a large thing. - Toatapio Nuva


 * There already are versions of Bioniclepedia in different languages. MarioGalaxy{Metroid Admin/Mario Admin} {talk/contribs/Count} 16:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Urgh, Ive got a juink memory, have I done the March Point updates? - LD760 { Grovel for mercy }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 17:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * A quick examination of your contributions reveals that you have not. =P ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 17:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Huh?
So... where are there language links, meaning pages with other languages too? - User:Toatapio Nuva

How do you create language links?

You can select your language in a little box on the side of your skin. But it doesn't translate the page, it takes you to a different wiki with the same name in the language you chose. - Panakalego 16:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean the Go and Search box? If yes, it doesn't work for me, if no, what box?


 * The box that says Languages at the top. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, nevermind, that box only has english. But LegoLover posted some links on the maipage. - Panaka lego  05:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're at the main page it should work. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Points
Well, its come that my computer time has been greatly restricted. I may have to give up the points job because of this, so, have at it. :) - LD760 { Grovel for mercy } 01:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If I was an Admin, I would offer to do it... Does this mean you're going to be inactive? Panaka  lego  01:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Will we get somebody more liberal with points? *crossed fingers* Mighty MeYou may speak 01:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Liberal? :| - LD760 { Grovel for mercy }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 15:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll go create a page so that we can vote for who should have the job. Should we only vote for Admins? Or can any trusted user get to do it? - Panaka lego  04:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I won't have computer access this summer, starting in a few weeks, so we're gonna have to pick up a few new admins soon anyways. We can choose a new point person at the same time. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 14:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You're leaving? =( - Panaka lego  20:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * At least for the summer, according to what he just said. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 20:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

But once he realises how great his life is without coming here all the time, what would make him come back? - Panaka lego  05:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * For me, the opposite always happens: I realize how boring my life has become without editing a wiki every day. =P


 * My personal suggestion for the new admin set-up would be to make me a temporary bureaucrat only while Daiku's gone (since we can't trust LegoLover to show up out of nowhere if we need him), make Panakalego a permanent sysop (which he's deserved for quite a while now), and make MG a temp sysop just for the summer (or permanent if he would approve, but he's already an admin on two other wikis so I wouldn't want to increase his workload even further).


 * (And BTW, I'm going to have access to my computer all summer, so you guys don't have to worry about that. =D) ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 13:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This is all up to Daiku, and if we want it to happen, you need to put your name down for bureaucratship, Auserv. And you can't forget about Kazi, he really wants to be an Admin, too.


 * BTW, MG is an Admin on six wikis already. - Panaka lego  14:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Six?! And I thought I was special... =P In that case, we could just make Kazi a sysop in his place, but Kazi's been acting a bit strangely lately, and he was considering leaving... ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 17:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Might not be a good idea to have an Admin who's also active on BS01, we don't need very many Admins either. And are your sure you can handle being an Admin? You might have to be on a little more then you are already. - Panaka lego  19:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
