[edit] Spore Fanon

The Spore Fanon Wiki has been created! Please tell everyone! The Spore Fanfic Wiki is a Wiki-Twin of the Spore Fanon Wiki, so we are working to improve our relationships now! Spread the word! --◔ChordSectorθ◕ 16:42, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User Creation Template

Hey Ose. I was just wondering if the User Creation Template is going to end up being deleted, or what I need to do to save it. Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 04:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] La SporeWiki en Español

I found that there is a spanish SporeWiki, and have a dumb question. Should we put a link there somewhere on the main page, like in the newsflash section? Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 21:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

We have an "International page" with this info. And there are in fact links to other language wikis in the sidebar on the main page.

Ose ^t/_c 18:09, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok then. Now I have another question. I know you have a good reson (as you always do) but I just want to know, why did you change the code on all of the Seven Starr Alliance member pages?

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 18:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't like fanon in the template namespace, so I placed the userbox directly on the pages and deleted the template.

Ose ^t/_c 18:30, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so no templates on fanon, but templates on cookies and ice cream are ok :-) I was thinking, in theory, is it possible to make a content page for this, like we use a user sub-page for our sigs?

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 18:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC) P.S. Do you know when the blogs and mastheads are coming to SporeWiki? P.S.S. Is it true? Did you get Spore? P.S.S.S. What exactly is that on your Sig?

I guess you have a point with the "random" templates. Perhaps i'll do something about them later. You can transclude any page, just place the template code on a subpage, like Content:Seven Starr Alliance/member or such. And the blog thingys are coming Soon. And yes, I got Spore and even played it for a couple of days. And the thing in my sig is a hammer for banging stuff on the head. With a cog.

Ose ^t/_c 10:36, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Just, please don't delete those templates! Many people have them, and they never hurt anybody! Hey, you even have one! P.S. If you were to become any of your Spore creatures (once you get that far, of course) which would it be?

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 12:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sporecast

It's a great idea. OluapPlayer 15:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

The Seven Starr Alliance were already planning on making a Sporecast with SporeWiki adventures, prahaps we could combine the two projects?

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 16:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

There would be no problem with you having another sporecast in addition to this one, but I think this shouldn't be related to any specific fiction project, as it could alienate people. It should be more of a "best of SporeWiki, picked by the community" or something thing. Feel free to mention SporeWiki as much as you want on the SSA cast though.

Ose ^t/_c 16:31, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok. So are we going to have a big vote thingy to choose what to put in the Sporecast?

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 16:40, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I gave Oluap the task, ask him instead :P

Ose ^t/_c 16:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Can we make a stick/rock/shell page?

Just wondering if it's okay for someone to make a page about this.Shigerufan 17:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Umm, what is "stick/rock/shell" in Spore context? I've barely played the game :P

Ose ^t/_c 17:33, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I think a better way to describe it would be "Handheld Objects" we could describe the stick, rocks and shells from creature stage, tools from tribal stage, and objects from GA. Currently Stick and a few others have their own pages, and Shigerufan wants to make a single article. I think it's a good idea.

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 17:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok... Since when do people have to ask for permission to create articles about objects in the game?

Ose ^t/_c 17:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE: A page already exists for Sticks rocks and shells. Its called Pickup Object (heh, me feels dur...)Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 17:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Just in case you get here before OluapPlayer, please ban 90.196.94.77 for their edit to the Grox Image File (69,328 bytes of pure vandalism. Yes, I said 69,328)

Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 18:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I'm new to wikis.Shigerufan 20:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I'm not new to Wikis and I missed it. Nothing to be sorry about :-) Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 20:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering why you deleted the page Nospinoannelida, as I was interested in creating a similar page, titled psuedoanellida and the page said that you deleted it's predecessor. I believed that I should check the reasons for this before creating the page. ( since annelids cannot truly exist in spore, due to the games automatic creation of a spine, this would apply to virtually all limbless, wosoft bodied, wormlike creatures in the game.)

I added a comment to Pickup Object, I'm just not sure if it's up to wikia standards.Shigerufan 19:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikia standards?

Ose ^t/_c 22:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

There aren't standards(beyond having to use proper english, of course)? sorry for bothering you, again, I'm new.:PShigerufan 00:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Um, do you know who runs the taxonomy thing?

Sorry to bother you again, I was just wondering if you knew who is the authority on the taxonomy project. I have a rather ambitious idea that I would like to run by them. Thanks, Ceolophysis

[edit] IRC

I know I meed to wait a few minutes, I was actually planning on staying longer, it's just that real life called and I had to leave pre-maturely. Around what times are people usually on? Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 02:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC) PS, what does AFK mean?

I found it hard to navigate around the pages. I am new to it. Wormulon 09:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

AFK. And there are no times we are usually on, since we're on different sides of the globe :P

Ose ^t/_c 09:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Well see, I'm different. I have no life, so I am usually DOK (don't bother looking that up) :-) What side of the globe would you be on? Your page directs me to Scotland, but I just want to be sure. Zagorian ^Comm/_Contrib 12:47, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fanon

Ose if you find any fanon can you tell me on my user talk page so I can move it to the Spore Fanfic Wiki please? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:21, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Didn't we settle on a fiction namespace?

Ose ^t/_c 19:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Then what's the point of having a different wiki. We should use it. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 20:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Says who?

Ose ^t/_c 20:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Me. Also the other admin says this "We really need to get an link on spore wiki we have so few members that are active, if you like I will talk to ose for you.--Spyzombie45 21:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)"

So could you please think about it. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi Ose, thanks for the WELCOME sighn!Sciencematt123 01:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'm sorry

Can you please move the edited page to the creature one? I already started adding the pictures before you moved them. --Mileske 10:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Thx bro --Mileske 10:08, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Empty taxons

One thing that might be good to add to the classification template is a flag that goes off if the taxon is empty. Just a thought if you'd be able to do that. morgoth ^t/_C 02:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] sorry: Zaco

I'm sorry for not logging in, it's just that I don't spend much time on SporeWiki anymore... But I still respond to any talk messages I get. So I'll see if I can set myself to "Automatic-Login". Agian, Sorry. Zaco V. Infinito 21:15, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] dont touch my pages

Dont touch my creature pages. I noticed you changed part of my Creature:Reptin taxon assignment. Im gonna revert that because your genus_classification or whatever doesnt work. and besides, you shouldnt mess with peoples species names. (Skyte 17:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC))

Oh well dont really care. The real Velociraptor species are abbreviated V. (name). Im just keeping up the tradition. Theres your excuse to stop messing with my species name. Besides, you have to admit, V. reptin has a nicer ring to it than Velociraptor reptin. Edit: I looked and it doesnt say that it has to be 2 complete words. (Skyte 01:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC))

[edit] Mechenalyte Phylum

The Mechanalyte phylum that you ERASED was going to have many divisions, making it relevant to the taxon. Instead of realizing that, you read a phylum by its cover and deleted it. Thanks for deleting my work, Yours sarcastically, Bray321221

[edit] Rambo Nation

hey Ose,

I was wondering why did you delete some images from the page and the last two characters of it too? Did I do something wrong?

Dinoman82 12:01, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rogues

I didn't know there was a Rogue page... lol, I mispelled it :P

[edit] Question

hey Ose,

I was wondering something, now with the new thingy of Fiction, should all pages then be moved to Fiction or Content? And how do you move a page, or can only admins do that?

Dinoman82 11:30, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Yours and Morgoth's talk pages have been vandalised

The user MeatMan123 has uploaded pornographic images and has spammed you and Morgoth's talk pages. I have reverted his edits, so look in the history of this page. Wormulon 12:41, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Contest

I have a contest, but I haven´t contestants, What I do??? --El tio 18:40, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

What where when?

Ose ^t/_c 20:13, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] list of pages

Why did you delete my page? Do you know where I could list ALL of my pages?--Coup on11 one for spore and all for C&C 01:25, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

A list of pages related to X goes on the X page.

Ose ^t/_c 10:17, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Persistant vandalism from an anonymous user

The IP 85.12.64.150 has persistantly vandalised (by spamming them or adding nonsence) the Alliance page, as well as Planet Buster and Epic creature pages, over the last couple of days. Wormulon 14:38, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for moving my recent article. I was eventually going to do it. ^_^ Xhodocto3546 18:52, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Man, I need to get used to this. Xhodocto3546 19:28, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] thanks :)

Hey you are a genius man, i need to study more this , but thanks for correcting my mistakes.

[edit] Question?

Okay, you asked me to check out spore forum, but I have almost no Idea how to use it.I don't know how to add anything but text, please tell me how to add images! PLZ--Robot Chicken Nugget

Don't ask me, i've never used it.

Ose ^t/_c 10:23, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A bug...

Ok, I've found a bug with the new Taxonomy.

All the species in a family inherit the creators name and date of the family. If that sounds confusing, take a look at Taxon:Bipodae and you'll see what I mean. Robotnick2 01:00, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Also, I'm throwing in the towel for tonight. I've done a fair few, take a look at Mammalia and see ;-)

Here's a list of things that still need to be done in Mammalia, in case you want a crack at it? Also, there's a couple of bugs mentioned there that I would REALLY appreciate you sorting for me. The page is User:Robotnick2/Things to do.

Night night! Robotnick2 03:11, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Taxons breaking

I'm listing those that are broken here, so that they can be fixed at some point. Fixed properly, that is.

Maybe it has to do with caching? morgoth ^t/_C 00:00, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Strange, all these are working for me... but then again, I had to put the

|rank=family

into all of them, in order to get them to work. They're all families, so... maybe a problem with the template? Orders, Classes etc. seem to work ok though. Preceding unsigned comment by Robotnick2 09:15, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

That's the point, we aren't supposed to need to put the rank anymore except on kingdoms. I just was a little busy to go make sure they were families and add the appropriate rank parameter for the temporary fix. morgoth ^t/_C 18:06, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Content

Is there a way to show Recent Changes only for the Main namespace? If not, could you make some vote thing to revert it back to the original "main namespace only" recent changes? Poeringu 17:07, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Edit: I meant to say Latest Activity and Random Article, not Recent Changes.

Re-separating into Random article and Random "content" seems like a good idea.

There are random buttons for specific namespaces. If you know how to make a "multiple but not all namespaces" random button, tell me.

[edit] Template problem

Me and Captain Zaco can't get a userbox to work on Spore RP Wiki, it is very glitchy. The strange thing is, it is exactly like the template used on this wiki. Wormulon 21:22, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for deleting vandalism!

I cleaned it from trolling, and you deleted it! Thanks! - Emperor Imperios 19:20, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zaco

Yeah thanks for helping with the userbox thing. (You did help, right? I had to log out and missed a bit of that...) And I was wondering why I can move pages now... I'm pretty sure I diddn't have that before... At first i thought I might be an Admin now, but I don't have the delete button like if i was a sysop so now i'm confused... Captian Zaco reply 21:07, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Any registered user can move pages...

Ose ^t/_c 21:10, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
