Logo change
Hello.

As a former member of this wiki, I see that you have changed the logo. Your edit statement was that "I think its time for a change."

Although I believe you had good intentions in changing the logo, and although I really like the simplicity of the logo, I'm not sure if it should have changed for these reasons:


 * 1) Have you consulted with other members of this wiki?
 * 2) Does this website need a logo change? Most websites in general don't do a drastic change on their logo. They modify it slightly from time to time. Of course, there are exceptions, but of course, not changing the logo so much is the general conformity.

In the future, can you please confirm with other users before changing the logo? That would be much appreciated.

As for now, the logo has been reverted back to the original logo. Please do not modify this until we reach a consensus.

Thanks, Deathgleaner 22:40, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE
You must realise that there is more than one user on this wiki, but I'll pardon you this time.

A complete list of users can be found on Special:Listusers

Sysop
You are now a sysop. Congrats!

Signature
One more request: As a sysop, it's important to keep your signature simple. It seems to overcrowded with screaming letters. Can you change it? Deathgleaner 03:39, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

logo
I love the simpliscity of the logo. Although I haven't read the book / seen the movie yet, can you explain how the logo relates? Deathgleaner 03:40, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Name change to Inkwiki
Yea, that's a good name, but it kind of sounds like it would be about ball point pens (maybe it's just me). It's up to you! Deathgleaner 20:17, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Questions
Hi! Thanks for your message on my talk page. No problem. I have a question. How do you make a new article when the article you wanted to make doesn't have any link on it, not even a red link? Thanks again! Hero658GOD 05:25, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Helping out
Hello, my name is IamJakuhoRaikoben, and in approxamitely two weeks, I'd like to join and help this wiki out. I started reading inkheart a week ago and i'm currently reading the last installment Inkdeath and i'd like to make this wiki as good as the books are. I am an administrator at the Fairy Tail and Fairy Tail answers wikis and I have rollback rights at the Bleach wiki. I am very good at coding and design and I think I'd be a good addition here. The reason I am leaving you a message and not just jumping right in and helping out is because there are a few things that i'd like to do that I didn't want to do without explanation, like expanding and improving the appearance of infobox templates, creating a manual of style for articles, helping to expand the articles, getting a layout guide and a few other things. If you have no problem with me doing things like that then I would love to help. Just drop me a message whenever you have the time, though I might not respond to it as quickly as I normally do. I normally make anywhere from 25-110 edits on various wikis everyday, but I won't have internet access for the next two weeks. Thank you so much for your time.

Alrighty, thanks for the suggestions.

Help
Hey would you mind adding the code below to this page. It won't affect any of the existing templates but it will make a few templates that i'm making look much better.

/* Infobox template style */ .infobox { border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; background-color: #f9f9f9; color: black; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 1em; padding: 0.2em; float: right; clear: right; } .infobox td, .infobox th { vertical-align: top; } .infobox caption { font-size: larger; margin-left: inherit; } .infobox.bordered { border-collapse: collapse; } .infobox.bordered td, .infobox.bordered th { border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; } .infobox.bordered .borderless td, .infobox.bordered .borderless th { border: 0; } /* Recent changes byte indicators */ .mw-plusminus-pos { color: #006500; } .mw-plusminus-neg { color: #8B0000; } Thanks.

Changes
No problem.

Hello. I was wonderng if you would consider an affiliation with the Septimus Heap Wikia.http://worldofseptimus.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_of_Septimus_Heap_Wiki

Heres hoping to hear from you!

Main Page Changes
Hi- my name is Lexi and I'm a member of the Wikia Community Development team. This is a great wiki and I absolutely love your skin! However, I think it would be really great if we could make over the main page to include the same content, but look more organized and pretty--left and right columns would be good and maybe even a section for videos, images, or polls. Is this all OK with you?

 * As can be seen by the reply on your talk page, Hpottergleek now heads the wiki. I'm just here for assistance, should it ever be needed. --Will (talk) 06:35, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hiii! I was wondering if I could be made an admin. It's okay if you say no :) --98.201.134.1 14:30, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Admin
Lol that previous post was mine, I forgot to log in, lol. Anyways, can I please become an admin? It's okay if you say no :) --SeddieBoriBrittana&#61;D (talk) 14:32, August 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but you haven't really edited enough. --Will (talk) 09:12, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

omg this is crazy
Hey there, I think I almost jumped when I saw your name here! What a small world!

Not quite sure if you still check this wiki, dunno if this message will reach you, but since it's in regard to this wiki, I don't feel contacting you through other places...

So... are you still an admin here? I got super confused as to who to contact, as there was nothing on the menu bar like how some other wikis have. If you are, can you fix the layout on the front page? I don't know if it's just me, but the image isn't really fitted in the box and it looks a bit weird.

Do you have the authority to edit the MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation? If you do, can you consider rearranging the part after the "On the Wiki" and "Community" tags to something like :

'''content removed because I took care of it! =D'''

I find it a bit weird that there's no other way to quickly find a character other than through the front page, or after clicking a book. It doesn't have to be listed using what books they were introduced, there's tons of other ways... At this point, ANYTHING is better than not having an option at all at the navigation.

Need help! Quick question!
Hey MakeShift! I know you said you won't be coming here, but I thought it'd be weird to ask you this on the Arrow wiki so I hope you can still take time to read and reply here.

On Arrow wiki, I think you guys made a good point that before the dvd is released, anything beyond 720p is supposedly just a stretched version; my question is, how do one make sure the file isn't a stretched version? Recently I'm starting to do screenshots on this wiki, and since it's a feature film, I thought the higher quality the better, so I especially -coughs- torrented -coughs- a so-called 1080p Blu-ray version.

The thing is, I used the same method I was taught: directly snapshoting scenes using VLC, not only does the image all have a very thin black line on the bottom, but the quality also does not look particularly spectacular... So I'm just kind of confused if the file I got was just one of those stretched ones, but I have no idea how to tell if that's the case, or perhaps the scene just wasn't in the best lighting or focus so it'll look not as good either way. Please give me some advice? Thank you so much! xoxo -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 23:24, May 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * So.... there's not real way to identify if the file is being stretched other than eyeballing it? Yeah... the thin black line is such a letdown! It looked fine when I'm actually watching the film... but the snapshots are upsetting... Will have to find another file I guess. Thanks for the advice! <3 Dunno if you still like the trilogy and its story, but anyways, Cornelia said she'll be publishing those Inkworld short stories soon; just passing on the news =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 07:15, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Will def. thoroughly inspect the sample snapshot closer next time I torrent! As to where I heard about it, I asked her myself lol. They aren't exactly "new" stories, just that they weren't published in English... now she's finally doing it =] I posted a blog to share the news, and Cornelia tweeted about it again yesterday! User blog:Xxsammmsammmxx/Ink and Mirrors? Cornelia once again teases about the short stories!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 08:09, May 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh Arrow & The Flash Wiki is on a completely different scale xDDD Like you said, so much to cover! But thanks for offering the help; it means a lot coming from you because you are super effing awesome (seriously!)! I'd love to join the chat but unfortunately the time difference is kind of getting in the way... It's like 1 A.M.-ish, really need to be off to bed! Gnites to you (for later) and thanks again for the tips!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 08:38, May 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Holy !#$^@!%#! Looks like there's going to be actual new stories after all! Look at Cornelia's reply in this conversation!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:58, June 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Unnamed Folchart boy just got his named confirmed! Need your opinion and see full detail at Forum:Inkworld and Mirrorworld. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 03:39, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Name of the trilogy/Other stuff
Hey there, please don't change back the name of the trilogy again, cuz in some interviews it's actually referred as Inkworld trilogy, and Cornelia herself generally referees it as InkWorld or in short for the trilogy; the German is also Tintenwelt-Trilogie instead of Tintenherz-Trilogie, so even though certain English speaking areas knows it as Inkheart trilogy, we are trying to advocate using the actual and less favoring-the-first-book title, plus, the redirects are there, so people can still use it.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:16, June 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * Heyyy no worries; I thought it was quite confusing TBH and it really was like after so many re-checking that finally made me set on choosing which one to use with the reason I told you about xP. Thank you for changing the passage on that page! It makes so much more sense! (not sure why it just completely went over my head to do it like that lol)-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 07:02, June 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there! Initially I didn't realize the image size was changed (I was only focusing on the wording), but after I saw it I've changed that part back. The 400px is actually used on other pages, not just that one, so it wasn't like an odd one standing out. The reason behind this is that when the images are in landscape narrowly, with 250px you really can't see all that much; YES, we can always click to enlarge them, but it still's a fact that on first glance it will be harder to tell what those images are exactly showing, especially when it's screenshots from the film. After a few testing, I think 400px is the maximum it can go without completely making paragraphs TOO hard to read. I hope this is okay with you and that you won't be changing the dimensions when coming across another one of those. Example pages: Elinor's house and Water-nymph.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:37, June 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * Cosimo was always a bit confusing, but because in certain chapters it is revealed the new and old ones should actually be considered as two different characters (The Wrong Man etc) which is why for appearances, for Inkspell there's "mentioned" and the other one; cuz the original Cosimo never actually appeared and was just mentioned since he died before the characters got back to Inkworld, while the second one was brought to life and appeared within the story. The "citation needed" wasn't to question the truthfulness of the statement (I'm well aware both versions are in fact dead); but as both deaths are abled to be pin-pointed exactly when they were confirmed in the books, someone just needs to cite what chapters they are to make the information more complete; it's there so if people know the exact answer they can help out by referencing the chapter instead of removing the cite and still leave it with no references, if that makes sense.


 * The second life part was a new section instead of a section under bio, was because like I said, they are actually two different characters; the bio was for the original one. I know people can probably be like "well, if they are two different characters, then why not make it two different pages" (at least I did seriously think about it! lol) but yes, the fact they are closely intertwined and without one another the pages will def. seem short, plus cause more confusion as upon searching and what to title the page for the second Cosimo ("the second Cosimo" just doesn't seem to cut it) so we just made two distinctive sections, and when "Cosimo" is involved, it'll be linked as "Cosimo". Bad thing is that the unnecessary capital of letters slipped through me again so the links that are already set up needs to be reset anyways (I will locate them and make adjustments soon.)


 * As for White Book v The Book of Blank Pages, I was a bit reserved and hadn't set up the redirects YET at the time, was because I was unsure if either of them are the actual name of the book lol. Do you know the answer? The info on the page was already there and I haven't reread to that part to see if it was actually called the White Book, or if whoever the last editor just wrote it like that and it happened to be relatable (at least I immediately knew which book is being talked about even though I wasn't sure about the book's name.) And The Book of Blank Pages actually had both the upper case one and the all lower case redirects, so I figured THAT made it seem like an actual term since someone actually made the redirects and all. The title can still stay like that but I just want you to know why it was done priorly the other way.


 * As for why it was originally White Woman in singular form; it's because I do believe when Mo was dying from Mortala's gunshot, a singular White Woman was near him and Resa shooed her away or something. I could be wrong but I remembered it wasn't like a bunch of them appearing all at once and ganging up on them altogether. I believe when Farid died it was also like that. Since I'm not entirely sure, the titles can still stay that way, but just letting you know beforehand there is a chance it might get changed back.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:19, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Need some help again!
Hi MakeShift! I know you are busy and I know I can probably somehow find the answer at community central (like I did with how to change the image of the edit pencil) but the thing is, the first time round took me so much time to go back and forth to find the actual solution, so I figure I should just directly ask you (if you know the answer that is xDDD). Well, I really like how the interlanguages is displayed on Arrow & The Flash Wiki, but for the life of me I looked through MediaWiki (cuz I was so sure it was done there) and couldn't find how you did it; I did however manage to locate how it seemingly is done on the Spanish wiki; got to say though, I like the images of flags that are being used on the English wiki, but I like how they display both the flag and the language on the Spanish one (I bet there's people out there like myself who aren't able to immediately recognize flags around the world lmao), so I copied and pasted the code to our MediaWiki:Common.css and replaced the image with the ones used on your wiki; but it's not showing up; is it because the image link has to be from a file from THIS WIKI, or am I missing some steps in between? Please let me know if you know what's going on when you have time! :3

And I promise I'll eventually look through the stuff you mentioned, but right now I don't exactly think it's something that's so arguable that needed to be checked upon (meaning, I'm relatively okay with what the article is showing right now), just want to let you know I haven't forgotten about the White Women! (There's also the fact that I literally JUST acquired the rights to another wiki; I'm not even remotely a decent fan of the topic, but it suffers from serious duplicate imageries so my nosy-ness kicked in; don't want to disappoint the Wikia staff who approved me so will be working to get rid of the crap there first)

BTW! The Book Cooks blog I told you about is out! Just spreading the delicious news >x3 There's also new silly polls on the archive if you're ever interested!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:54, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Sort of an urgent event!
Hey MakeShift! Dunno if I'll catch you on IRC but I figured if I don't, it's just better to actually write to you where you can read it later xP. Have you seen this: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Acardwell415/Wikia's_Battle_of_the_Fantasy_Foods_Returns ? Anyhow, even though knowing we don't have much chance of being on that list, I still submitted "Honey from fire-elves" (and also submitted it under "fire-honey" just in case), so if you have some spare time, help voting just for the heck of it? xDDD

Also, although it's not about this wiki but because it's still about the same topic I'ma just write it in one post; I've also nominated Big Belly Burger just cuz I'd like to have one if it ever get to be sold on that Wikia food truck! Do you think you can draw an awareness about this since the deadline is nearing? I'm sure if people actually know about the event and participate it, with a community as big as yours, it'd be kind of ridiculous to not be in top 64, since if you see it more broadly it can just be counted as DC instead of just representing Arrow & The Flash Wiki. Just a very greedy idea bahaha. xP -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:14, July 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not sure if you've read the last message yet, but anyways, in case you ever have any ideas regarding to the matter, I've relocated my discussion with KR to Forum:Battle of the Fantasy Foods; feel free to nominate food from the trilogy there should you think of any! xo -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 06:58, July 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Heyyy! Yeah I think the time difference makes chatting a bit hard lol Thanks for the reply! Nah, I just asked cuz you guys post some pretty official looking threads xDDD Didn't stop to think that they are mostly news related or about the wiki itself and not interwiki stuff xP. Talking to you guys is one thing (cuz the number is like less than 10), but starting a forum thread is another cuz who knows how many viewers will read it. I'm weird (well, I'm not sure if this is normal anyways) like that and would like to be still relatively low profile :3 (which is why this wiki is fine cuz there's not that many people around at all!) Anyways, it's good to know that you guys all voted! xDD -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:39, July 26, 2015 (UTC)

Rosenquartz‎
Hey there! I know I can take this to the article's talk page, but in case the same situation happens to other articles, I figured I'd just come straight to you. I don't exactly think the new info meets the standard for being on the page, due to its speculation nature (the "likely" wording + no reference to back it up).

Not that I don't enjoy learning that new piece of information (I'm not a Shakespearean person so I did not know about that character), but I don't think it's appropriate to put it up there when there's no proof provided that he was named after the character. If anything, I actually associated the name with "Rosenkreutz", cuz they sounded similar and the word has German roots... Or "Rosenquarz"... German for ... I mean, the latter actually makes more sense cuz Quartz is something glass is made of after all.

So yeah, unfortunately because of the lack of knowledge I have for Shakespearean stuff, I don't exactly know how to phrase what you've added better, was thinking about making it an "Etymology" section or something. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:11, September 14, 2015 (UTC)
