** 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)

==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)

==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)

BTW, have you tested that offline PM much?

== 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)

* 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)

== 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

== 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]]

==BrickFair==
George,

My brother saw you added him as a contact on flickr and saw that you posted your brick badge there which has a Brickimedia brick. That caught my attention because as it happens, I'm an active Wikipedian and at BrickFair. Where would be convenient for me to find you there?--[[Special:Contributions/184.185.138.30|184.185.138.30]] 02:39, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
:I'll probably be at the Bionicle table today. I'm wearing a dark gray shirt and tan pants. Come find me! --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 14:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
::It was nice meeting you. I have this account name at least for now; I haven't ever been able to come up with decent names, and your software seems to dislike "Ɱ" for being confusing or spoofing something. Anyway, I meant to ask you about your [[meta:Image Policy|image policy]], and I wasn't surprised that it is quite free. The WMF does only use free and some fair use images to prevent the copyright holders from suing them; does Brickimedia not think of that as a problem? Anyway, I'd be happy to write about [[BrickCon]], [[BrickFair]], [[Brickfête]], [[BrickFest]], [[Brick Fiesta]], [[Brickworld]], and the like, and perhaps even a general article on Lego conventions.--[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 23:32, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
:::Our image policy is mostly so free because nothing we upload is really prone to a lawsuit. The LEGO Group is a company that supports its community that revolves around the product, so the only thing they'll have a problem with us uploading would be confidential/preliminary set images. Anything else that gets uploaded generally is free or fair use, and if someone wants us to take something off of our site it's easier for everyone for us to just say "sure" than to make a big dispute about rights to the image. The only time I've ever seen a problem with our images (aside from people uploading preliminary/confidential stuff from LEGO) would be if something is taken from Flickr and the author contacted us to credit him to that image. Thankfully the LEGO community doesn't have all the lawsuit-crazy people like many other parts of society have, so we've never needed a very rigid or limiting image policy.
:::And if you could make those articles for those events, that'd be great! If you need me to code an infobox for that, just ask (or I'm sure you could probably adapt the code to our existing infoboxes to make it yourself). Thanks for the help! --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 04:38, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
::::That makes sense in general, but it seems that there will be a lot of exceptions. Examples could be photographs of notable creations (e.g. ones that have inspired Cuusoo/Ideas sets), or photographs of events. I did receive plenty of backlash and perhaps insight when uploading a a CC-marked image of the BrickFair convention to Wikipedia. It seems that photographs of what can be deemed 'artwork' (in this case, lego creations) cannot be assigned a free license, even ones that I've taken (see [[Wikipedia:Freedom of panorama#United States|Freedom of Panorama]]). I did end up posting a photograph of the event on Wikipedia, but only because it was one that Todd uses as promotional material, and thus fits their [[Wikipedia:Template:Non-free promotional|Non-free promotional template]].

::::So it seems that most photographs of these conventions and of individual creations should not be free under US copyright law; meaning that your image policy should restrict those images, unless the convention organizer allows their use as promotional material ([http://www.brickfair.com/pics/ link to the BrickFair resource]). And still then, it would be a good idea to require such fair use-marked images to be of sufficiently low resolution and have a detailed fair use rationale. Also, I wasn't thinking about infoboxes yet; I may be able to adapt code from Wikipedia's and/or one here; I'll let you know if I have any trouble.--[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 12:42, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
::::Just asking ahead of time because I know I'd want to have photos of the conventions in their articles, and wouldn't want any trouble with Brickimedia, the conventions, or their registrants; thanks for understanding and for offering your assistance.--[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 13:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::I think that unless someone contacts us with an issue about an image, uploading it under whichever license is closest to what it is and listing the source and/or author should be enough. If anyone has an issue with it they can contact the admins and we'll resolve it however it needs to be. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 21:07, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
::::::That could be problematic in many cases, especially if a company files a lawsuit against Brickimedia for violating copyright law, instead of asking administrators to remove the image. It'll also lead to photos like [[:File:Bricksthumb.jpg]] being uploaded, which is on a prominent space on the encyclopedia but has no information as to where it's from; likely pulled from a website. Just trying to offer assistance; although I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm okay with writing content, but likely I won't feel comfortable adding the conventions' logos and photographs from the events to the articles.--[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 22:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Just wanted to add, I'm not sure if this'll work for Wiki- or Bricki- pedias, but I've found some interesting sites with images that confirm that the (perhaps semi-AFOL) Al Pacino has visited [https://www.flickr.com/photos/anupehrson/10738988883/in/photostream/ BrickCon] and [https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=670068376418383&id=164179837007242 BrickFair], the latter being while we were there. I'm requesting the photos to have free licenses for Wikipedia, but perhaps we should use them here now, whatever you think. Looks like he was picking up one of those BrickForge freebies too. Wonder if he had to stand in line to get into the con like the rest of 'em. :) --[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 02:28, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
::::::::I actually saw him at BrickFair lol. I don't quite know how well those photos would fit into the article here, but if you can think of a way, go ahead and upload them. It might be easier to find a place for them on the wiki if there were a LEGO Godfather theme or something! :D --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 03:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::But did you recognize him at the time? And if anything makes a conference interesting or unique independent of lego, it's something like a well-known actor showing up.--[[User:Editor|Editor]] ([[User talk:Editor|talk]]) 11:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

== Re:Categories ==

It may not be in guidelines, but it was discussed in one of the forums. The guidelines also to say use 2001 and not 2001 sets, but we've been using the latter for over a year and a half now (and that is meant to be changing to "sets introduced in 2001" soon, but I still need to get to that). Its just that I haven't updated the guidelines, and if I don't no one will. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 20:40, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
:Okay thanks for letting me know that. Do you want some help in "migrating" the categories to new names? I can possibly semi-automate the process with MeikoBot. Also if you change the name of the "2001 sets" categories, call it "sets released in 2001" instead of using "introduced". I think it makes more sense that way in most cases. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 22:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
::I'm currently doing it with my bot thanks (mainly by just removing the old category, which kicks the template into gear). I've almost finished our list of System sets, and then its just TECHNIC and DUPLO (and I haven't added most of those themes to the template yet, though it should be done tomorrow). I'll also do the year through the infobox, although whether it is this week or three weeks time will depend on when I finish this one.

== Re:Prelim links ==

Since when was it policy to ban links to preliminary images? In which case, would you suggest that all information based off it be removed from the site due to it being unsourced? [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 12:00, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
* We can't do it for the same reason that Brickset, The Brick Fan, and various other communities don't. Linking to, uploading, or sharing preliminary/confidential images condones copyright violation, and copyright violation is something we're strictly prohibited from partaking in with our negotiations with the LEGO Group. No, you don't have to remove everything based on the confidential images, however we can't upload or link to those images as evidence. They can remain as unsourced "rumours" for the time being. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 13:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
