Hi! I reverted your change to Rush'n Attack because you changed "Category:{ {PAGENAME} }" (without the spaces) to "Category:Rush'n Attack". This is a bad thing, please don't do it.

As to why it's a bad thing:

Let's imagine that Alice makes a page for the CBC Summer Replacement Show "Back in Time for Dinner" and punctuates the name "Back, in Time for Dinner". She adds the category "Back, in Time for Dinner" to the page.

Bob notices that's the wrong punctuation, moves the page to "Back in Time, for Dinner", and adds the category "Back in Time, for Dinner" to the page.

Carol notices the page, moves it to its correct punctuation "Back in Time for Dinner", and adds the category "Back in Time for Dinner" to the page.

The page now has three categories, two of which are redundant. Somebody needs to clean up the page.

If, instead, Alice had added the category "{ {PAGENAME} }" without the spaces, then the page category would have changed automatically each time the page was moved, and it would never have had the duplicate and triplicate categories.

As for the particular magicwords: PAGENAME inserts the name of the page; ROOTPAGENAME inserts the partial name of the page up but not including the first slash, and SUBPAGENAME inserts the partial name of the page beginning immediately after the final slash and continuing to the end of the name.

For example, consider the page Avatar (film)/Headscratchers/Navi

  • PAGENAME = Avatar (film)/Headscratchers/Navi
  • ROOTPAGENAME = Avatar (film)
  • SUBPAGENAME = Navi

My apologies. I'll stop doing that from now on.

Thanks.

Ecclytennysmithylove (talkcontribs)

Your welcome.

I gave the Brianna Wu page some tweaking.

British vs. American spelling

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Hi! Glad to see you're back! I just wanted to comment on something I noticed in your recent changes to Hollyoaks -- I saw that you had converted a few British spellings to American. You don't need to do that -- we're rather ecumenical about spellings from both sides of the Atlantic, and we'd rather not have people "correcting" each other back and forth. If you see a British spelling -- especially in an article about a British work, like Hollyoaks -- just let it be. You haven't done anything wrong, per se, but it's more work for you that really doesn't serve a purpose, okay?

Thanks!

My game is out!

Can you please show me a screencap of my character?

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

This is one of stock character faces included with RPGmaker VX Ace, let me know if you want me to create a custom one.

Ecclytennysmithylove (talkcontribs)

Sure. For a custom one, my hair would be brown and I wore glasses.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

If you've blanked a page for some reason (like Coraline (novel)/Trivia), please put a {{delete}} template on it so the staff can find and remove it, okay? Thanks.

Ecclytennysmithylove (talkcontribs)

Your welcome. Thank you for the reminder. :)

504 Gateway Time-out

Ecclytennysmithylove (talkcontribs)

Seriously, what's with all the 504 Gateway Time-outs? I can't stand them. :(

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

We're aware. I and the rest of Orain Staff are looking into ways to make them go away. :)

In honor of your efforts, I'm making a game, mind if I cameo you?

Since you've done such a good job sorting out our trivia items on pages (among other things), I'm making a game in RPG Maker VX Ace, and I'd like to cameo you (as Eccel) as a character in the imperial library as a volunteer worker who devotes herself to sorting the books because she likes to be helpful:

If fact, here's the dialogue I had planned.

  • Hello, I'm Eccel, would you like to help me sort the books? We have a lot of trivia books mixed in with the others, and I'm trying to get them sorted properly.
  • (player) I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have the time, but I hope you can get that done soon.
  • Thanks. I'm just glad the library here is willing to let me help with that even though I'm not a regular employee....really makes me feel useful sometimes.
  • (player) Sounds like you're quite the helpful person. Good thing to know people who like to be nice just to be nice are still around.
  • * blush * Thanks.
  • (party member) * to herself * My, looks like our leader is quite the nice guy.....good know he's

good at being sweet to other women.

I'll remove this segment if you wish before I release a public demo, but if you don't mind, I just wanted to include this segment as a thank you for your hard work.

Ecclytennysmithylove (talkcontribs)

Okay, what's with the Script Errors on the trope tabs? I thought everything was already taken care of.

A barnstar for you!
