The BIONICLE Wiki talk:Community Portal/Archive 3

Chat
I read on Mariogalaxy's page we apparantly have a chatroom on "Gabbly"? Could someone post a link for it somewhere?Legodude760
 * There's a link here that opens the Gabbly chatroom for Bioniclepedia. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 05:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * While we're here, where are we getting these new Kanohi images, for example, Akaku Nuva and Ignika. We need more frontal views of them...Legodude760

Pieces article
Yeah, an article all about the BIONICLE pieces. We could list them all starting with the more used and baisic ones, and then the pieces we all reconize as the "Hordika foots" or the "Toa Metru Legs". It would take a lot of work, I just wanted to see some opinions, lol.Legodude760
 * Interesting. It'd take a bit of work, but I suppose it'd be doable. Would every mold get its own section, or would we go with "Feet," "Rods," "Heads," etc. and give each mold that fits a sentence? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, we could have titles with "feet", "rods", "heads" but then have subtitles with years, then maybe a gallery off all the pieces. For example: Feet

  
 * Feet
 * 2001
 * 2002
 * 2003

We'd only really show the feet that are one piece. The page would be very long, I suppose we could split it into a few, or I could probably make it if I had people who would take the pictures of the pieces.Legodude760


 * So, no objections to me starting this?Legodude760
 * I like the idea. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:55, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

"special" categories
I saw the Special:Categories page recently, and noticed on called, "VERY important rahi!!!". It was a red link, and I followed it, to find it was on a userpage. The point of my ramble is, should we allow simple useless categories? It kind of makes the Categories page look bad.Legodude760
 * I'd say no. With the exception of mine. XD - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol. Legodude760

Some Questions
Okay, know I know I haven't kept up with this wiki enough. Where's the chatting that used to take place in the Community Portal going on now? Is it here on the talkpage?

Also, I never really paid attention to how comics were named, because I haven't been getting them, but for some reason I'm getting the Lego Club magazine again. It's strange...but now I've got Comic #14 - Battle for Power. The site rules say that comic spoilers can be posted immediately after the comic is released, but I can't find an article for this comic - just the Battle for Power online game. Am I missing something, or has it just not been created yet? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:18, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It just came out, I don't think the article has been created yet. I'm horrible with overview articles like that though, so I can't write it myself. And the chatting is all over the place, except here. =P -- Panaka lego  00:55, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay...how are we naming them? I don't even know what comic came before... - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If I remember... it's prob'ly going to be something like Comic 14: Battle for Power. MG will let me know if I'm wrong, again. =P -- Panaka lego  01:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Account Creators
There is this thing at wikipedia called an account creator who creates accounts for users whose IPs were unintentionally blocked, etc. It is not an actual user group. Admins are automatically allowed and trusted users who have been given the okay are account creators. Should we implement this here? We would have to be on Gabbly or something for it to work. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * We should talk on Gabbly. Racht  00:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Patrolling Articles
Is anybody else doing this? I feel a bit overwhelmed. Here's the quickest way I've been able to figure out how to do it:
 * Set Recent Changes to hide patrolled edits.
 * Select "Main" namespace.
 * Click "diff" along the left.
 * If it looks good, click "Mark as Patrolled" under the current revision.
 * Hit your browser's back button twice.
 * Click the next unpatrolled edit, and so forth...

It's an easy way to get through the article edits without getting bogged down in Talk, User, User Talk, and patrolled edits. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if it's zapping all the fun out of editting, then you shouldn't need to do it. Panaka  lego  22:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That's how I do it too. I didn't get around to it yesterday but when I think of it, I try to spend a good 15-20 minutes on it a day. Sometimes I'll do it for quite a bit longer if I have something else to do at the same time, which drags out the task but at least keeps it from being so boring. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 23:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I already did it that way. BTW: I don't recommend patrolling edits before the date it was enabled. That would take forever. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 23:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I haven't been. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 00:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Totally, forgot, Ill try to do it now. Legodude760

Template:Toa Teams
I keep finding this redlink template on Toa articles, but when I try to find the source to delete the code, it is not on the article or another template. Is this osme sort of glitch?  Ld760  O HAI
