* Thanks :) Anything I can do on here? {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 20:31, 20 September 2013 (EDT)
** Oh... that was stupid of me then :P {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 23:16, 20 September 2013 (EDT)
*** Nah, it's good. :P Good to see forums work at the very least. :P --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 00:41, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

==Beta==
* Hey Meiko, I saw you said the site's now in beta- does that mean I'm meant to be doing something now? {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 04:17, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
** Well, just use the site like you would normally. Feel free to import some pages if it helps recreate a testing environment. Find any bugs, and report them. Give any suggestions you have. You can get things ready for release too. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 12:29, 6 October 2013 (EDT)

==Re: SEO==
* Sounds like it could be useful, I think before the news articles were doing well in the last wiki when I was searching for news (I think 4th or 5th), but if we could boost that up a bit further it could help {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 20:04, 7 October 2013 (EDT)
** I can't see it being too useful on customs, I'm not sure if the other wikis would have any use for it either. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to install it would it? {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 00:12, 8 October 2013 (EDT)
***Sorry, talk page stalking because there's nothing else to do here. :P I think it'd be good to have it installed on all the projects, unless it would hurt something. I don't think Customs or Storieswould use it much, but CUUSOO might. [[User:Drew1200|Drew1200]] ([[User talk:Drew1200|talk]])
****Correct me if I'm wrong, but Brickipedia (en) is the only wiki on the network that has news, right? --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 15:12, 8 October 2013 (EDT)
***** I think so at present. If the CUUSOO Wiki was looking for a Brickipedia News-type thing sometime in the future, I'd be happy to help set it up (if they needed any help that is) once it's remade on Bricki {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 01:10, 9 October 2013 (EDT)

==[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions StringFunctions]==
* Could we possibly get this extension installed on here (and maybe Customs as well? I can't remember if I need it over there though). Thanks, {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 01:34, 9 October 2013 (EDT)
** I'll get one of the others to do it; I won't have time to do it myself today. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 06:35, 9 October 2013 (EDT)

==Re: CM4S==
* Yep, I think having him on here might help get things going a bit more {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 19:36, 14 October 2013 (EDT)

==Re: Logos==
* Ok, thanks :) In that case, you wouldn't happen to have the old wordmarks for Reviews would you? Also, do you remember if we ended up having one for news? And if you could possibly upload the old customs and Bricki logos (the ones with the bricks over the wordmark) so that all the non-Refreshed skins don't have a big awkward gap in the top-left corner, that'd be much appreciated too {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 19:04, 17 October 2013 (EDT)
** The latter of those requests is already on my to do list at [[m:To Do]]. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2013 (EDT)
==Hey==
Can I have my Chatmod and patroller rights on here? (Patroller and Rollback are one right on here, correct?) {{User:LFY1547/Sig}}
*Not right now because they are glitched. And yes. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 16:54, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
:*Oh. And thanks. {{User:LFY1547/Sig}}

==Re: News idea==
* Hmm, I think it should be more about the news than the author, but that's probably just me, as long as it isn't intrusive I can't see it being a problem. We could maybe make it optional for each reporter if they want to have a thing somewhere on the page- it wouldn't be too hard to work up a template for it if that's what the community wants {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 18:36, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
** I think if it's subtle like the examples I listed, then it'd be fine. Back when Bricki had news bloggers, it'd have been there because it was blog posts, so I don't see it being a problem. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 18:42, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
*** I'll get working on a template when I get the time (which probably won't be for a day or so :S) {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 20:06, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
**** I can handle it, don't worry. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 20:41, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

==News template 2.0==
* Hi Meiko, I think I've pretty much rebuilt the news template, see [[Template:NewsBy]] (and the talk page for examples). However I think you had it formatted much better, I can't remember how you positioned the avatar and everything. Also, I think for the updated field, you were using updated=REVISIONSTAMP, I can't remember how you actually did that, so I've just got it at the moment so that if the field isn't null, it outputs the "last edited REVISIONMONTH DAY, YEAR", but you can go ahead and change it if you want to {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 23:21, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
** I'll do that in a bit. :) --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 23:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

==News reporter update==
* Hopefully, when you go to [[Brickipedia_News:Home]], you should now see a box to create new reports, which will only appear for news reporters. So to make a new report, just type in the name of the article and all the stuff is preloaded into it (meaning you don't have to do all that copy-paste work anymore). {{C|Also, in case you don't know, there's an active member request [[Brickipedia:News reporters/Requests|here]]}} {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 23:43, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
** Alright, thanks. :) --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 02:24, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

How does it work? :P I click it on the sidebar yet nothing happens. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 15:11, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
* It currently doesn't work in Refreshed ([https://github.com/Brickimedia/brickimedia/issues/134 Brickimedia/brickimedia#134]), but you can play around with it by going to http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/User:ToaMeiko?useskin=vector (and click the heart near the search bar). It also works in the DeepSea skin. I believe Refreshed is the only skin it doesn't currently work in, but that will be worked out. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 17:08, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd love to create a bot to do two things:

== MWC offline PM ==
BTW, have you tested that offline PM much? I'd love for it to work, but MWC only keeps the last 50 chat messages now, so 50 messages after you send the PM it will be deleted, and the person on the other end may not have seen it, sorry. [[User:UltrasonicNXT|UltrasonicNXT]] ([[User talk:UltrasonicNXT|talk]])

Brickimedia chat isn't working. At the moment, LFY, Storm, and Agenet Spy are in chat. When I enter, it says that no one is there and that I am not there either.

Any ideas on what I can do to make it work again? Thanks,

Back to reality, I made some part pages that need to be rated -- can you do it? You should be able to find them all in [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Stormjay+Rider&namespace=0&tagfilter=&year=2014&month=2 my contribs]. ----[[User:Stormjay Rider|<font color="blue">Jay</font>]] 19:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

== Re: Brickfilms ==

To be honest, the goal of a Brickfilms Wiki was to see if the idea would be successful, and if it worked, I would propose that it be added here. :P Considering the difficulty of a fork, I'm not sure that I'd want to start it on Wikia. But if it's not going to be successful, I don't really want to start it here, either. Also, all the good brickfilm domains are taken on Wikia, and I'm not really interested in adopting any of them. :P - [[User:Drew1200|Drew1200]] ([[User talk:Drew1200|talk]])

==Wikilove==
* Hey Meiko, I was just wondering if you knew if the awards in wikilove can be customised? If so, maybe we could replace some images which have the Wikipedia logo, having themed awards (like a Super Heroes award for people working on Super Heroes pages) instead of kittens, etc? {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 05:32, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
:The images are all uploaded files. Just change them on meta. [[mw:Extension:WikiLove]] has documentation on customising the awards. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 18:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

==Re:Chat==
* Can't right now, maybe later :) {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 23:40, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

==Dear active QCG member,==
* We have a number of open [[Brickipedia:Featured_Article_Nominations|FA]] and [[Brickipedia:Articles_for_Rating/Class_1|C1]] nominations open, if you could take the time to review these, it would be most appreciated. Thanks, [[User:NovaFlare|The QCG nagger]] <sub>([[User talk:NovaFlare|talk]])</sub>

==Inventory in infobox==
* Should be fixed- Property:Quantity is apparently a special property these days, so I've made a new property at [[Property:PartQuantity]] and updated all the templates {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 04:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

==Feeds==
* I never knew there was a w3c validator for feeds :) It's only the top two errors (about author and updated) that seem to be really important- working on a fix right now. {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 22:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
** Sorry, I meant to get you to remind me about this. Yeah, the top two errors were about no updated or author tags. And, if you re-check the error link, those errors are done from 32 to 17- I looked into the RSS extension we have the other day and apparently it assigns the author and update tag by the first occurence of a default signature followed by a timestamp, which is why [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Template:NewsBy&curid=298&diff=866304&oldid=753644 I added] it to {{tl|NewsBy}}. I've just got to go around and add a NewsBy template to all the old news reports and then it should be fine (which will be in a little while). If you see me on and I still haven't done this, please remind me :) {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 08:07, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

* Is now valid :) The rest of the recommendations listed can't really be helped with the extension we have, and it shouldn't matter anyway {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 23:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
* Turns out that the feed is just taking time to update (also the Sandcrawler had made the feed temporarily invalid, it should be fixed when it updates next). So all we need to do is put <pre><span style="display:none">[[{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}]]</span></pre> at the very top of every news article.

* Hey Meiko, thanks very much for setting that up :D However, I won't be able to be around too much for another 48 hrs or so, but after that I'll definitely get started on an answers/comments extension (when I figure out how to make a mediawiki extension that is :P) {{C|As you probably guessed, by Internet died again before, sorry about that}} {{User:NovaFlare/sig}} 22:38, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

== C2f ==

Why does C2f need to exist? Those articles are quite clearly class 4, but they get to be rated higher just because all the info on them isn't out yet? I don't get it. -Cligra
*Because it's ''complete'' (C2), but are based on a future subject, so not all the information ''exists'' yet, but absolutely every bit of info that exists at the time is on those pages, so they can't get any more complete. It saves people the trouble of trying to add information (if they are say, improving C4 pages) to those articles when there is no more information to be added. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 18:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
** While I do, from a technical standpoint, understand the definition, it seems like unnecessary complication. While the article (theoretically) contains all the information it can at the moment, it's only going to be outdated very quickly, and the rating will have to be changed again. In addition to this, listing is as a "C2" makes it ''seem'' like the article should be halfway decent, whereas most C2f articles are little more than stubs. -Cligra
*** Can we get more future articles then?, as in C3f and C4f-Soup

== Review Team ==
I personally think we need a review team to keep the reviews sub site alive. Brickset have one, Eurobricks have one > http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20631 , so why not us? If we all learn how to use a certain review layout it'd work. Like brickset and Eurobricks we could put our reviews in the new section,  so people we see them, and hopefully write a review after! I have lots more  ideas if this is green lit - [[User:Soupperson1|Soup]]
