MonoBook background image

Hi there,

I've fixed the MonoBook background image as per your request. You may need to perform a hard refresh (CTRL+F5 on most browsers) to see the change.

Happy editing! --Jack Phoenix<staff /> (Contact) 22:31, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

WiKirby affiliation

Hey there, thought you haven't seen the reply on your WiKirby's affiliate request. Sorry for taking long, thought I'd notify you here. Cheers! (an editor on WK) 212.15.178.49 06:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! ^^ Sorry for the late reply too. I've just joined the Discord (ねね!Evie the real Clefairy owo#3213), and will leave a message soon. (Also replied on Wikirby talk:Affiliates) From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 13:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey, that was me, forgot I had a ShoutWiki account. Can you rename me to User:Vipz and possibly on NintendoWiki? I contributed this this page to the wiki. Thanks! Viperision (talk) 19:25, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
(Aww thanks so much for the article you made!!). Sure ^^, the only issue is the site is lacking Special:Renameuser, and I don't know if regular users can do it via the hub either, so I've left one of the hub staff a message. Also, I'll link one or more of the other songs if I know them. As for Nintendo Wiki could probably do that if any of the other staff haven't yet. Thanks again! ^^ From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 20:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
OK re: Nintendo Wiki, I asked Toa because it seems only as an admin I can't do it sorry. As for Shoutwiki, they said "No, renaming users is not possible." (it seems the service is not as it used to be, their attitude has changed and they don't seem to be as meticulous or as polite anymore (not saying sorry anymore) - on the other hand, they also get overworked. I'd like to fork this wiki independently myself soon, or maybe someone from NIWA could adopt Sanrio Wiki (and so I can rename people too), but unsure how to do it.). From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 20:21, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Grifkuba is the host of a couple of NIWA wikis (and many smaller non-NIWA wikis) including WiKirby and operated by tacopill (if you didn't know). You should definitely give them a shot. Contact the Shoutwiki Support by mail to delete this version if you successfully fork. -Viperision (talk) 20:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! ^^ From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 20:44, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello!

This is Results May Vary. I didn't know you edit this wiki (Viperision told me about it & I noticed that you're an editor here). Castaway2000 (talk) 23:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi! ^-^ Nice to see you here. From Evie (Torchickens) ✿ 10:46, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Interwiki and affiliate button/banner

Hi again (and first, thanks for reactivating my account). I wanted to remind you (if you want) to carry over useful interwikis from the old wiki to this wiki, and remove useless ones.

The wiki can also have an affiliate button/banner (like the ones you can see on WiKirby affiliates page) other sites can use to make the link stand out.

Just a couple of suggestions, have a good day! -Vipz (talk) 12:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome. Thanks Vipz! ^^ Unfortunately it's still not giving me an option to add them. :( (So that was why I didn't use any interwiki links). Hmm, you mean a regular image with a link (e.g. File : x.png|link= ) or something else? Thanks again. This is how that page looks for me, despite having every accessible right (both admin, interface admin and the suppressor one). [1] Torchickens (talk) 13:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
No, I mean a small rectangular image like these two preferably 88x31 pixels in size. Here's one I just made for an example. -Vipz (talk) 16:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Oh I get what you mean now ^^, I'll see if I can make a quick one for Sanrio Wiki (and add existing banners for affiliates e.g. Wikirby) thanks. Torchickens (talk) 17:44, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Added them. ^^ Torchickens (talk) 18:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Starfy Wiki upload restrictions

I have some problems with file uploading to Starfy Wiki and posted details on your talkpage over there. Anyway, I've been looking over this wiki every couple days. I've got a question about why do you prefer separating content into more articles instead of covering them on the same article, which is how I would do it. For example, I would cover all songs from SEB Presents Sanrio Friends in this one article, instead of giving them each their own small articles. -Vipz (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vipz ^-^ Sorry to here about those upload difficulties :[ I'll look into it! Not sure actually, I've tended to do it that way but sometimes it both helps if you like lists (such a list of songs in a category), or you can fit some more information on separate pages to prevent a single page from becoming long. It's just a stylistic choice though (which I may have copied where on Starfy Wiki a long time ago, they started single articles for each song and it became the norm (as opposed to not having single articles for the costumes)) and not always necessarily good like you said - since you have to repeat the same sentences 'x is a song in y', but like it anyway for category coverage.

More affiliations

Hiya. I've been thinking about how affiliating positevely exposes your wiki to more potential readers. Affiliating directly with NIWA costs you nothing, and you've done more than enough for your wiki be listed there. Hope you're having a good day. -Vipz (talk) 16:10, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi ^-^. Yes, I've been interested in affiliating with more sites too. Just trying to find the right time to do it (and feel a bit sick since yesterday) :(. Torchickens (talk) 17:56, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
That's fine. By the way, I did plan contributing more to the wiki at the time, but in meantime I had wiped my hard drive and Windows while trying out various Linux distros... long-story short, I planned to but currently can't play mobile and browser games that I planned to write more about (as said on my userpage). I may in the future. Hope you get well soon! -Vipz (talk) 12:47, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
By the way, I did some categorization work and cleared up Special:UncategorizedCategories. I also made Template:Delete which places pages into Category:To be deleted. Among other things, also did a minor change to the mainpage. -Vipz (talk) 23:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Wow thanks Vipz :]. Also aww no, sorry to hear about your hard drive and those games. :[ I'm still a bit sick but better than before thanks. ^-^ Torchickens (talk) 18:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Those new emojis are great, thanks. Torchickens (talk) 18:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Ok, thanks back. If you need any help with templates or style changes, let me know. Might not be the best at it, but I'm willing to help. If you want something on your wiki to look like on WiKirby, such as Recent Changes, contact User:Ampera. -Vipz (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

The recent spam attack

Hi... some kind of a basement dweller was very desperate with their life and made a very ugly spam attack on this wiki, which you can unfortunately see in Recent Changes. I would have loved to clean it all up myself while you're away, but patroller rights don't let me delete pages or block users. In the meanwhile, Ampera has blocked all the accounts they created and has locked new user creation to admins, and I've marked pages for deletion. User creation should definitely be more strict going forwards. Sorry that this happened. -Vipz (talk) 21:22, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the head up, Vipz! Yeah it's unacceptable and I don't know who they are or why they targeted this wiki. I've given you admin rights. Hopefully this gives you the patrolled rights too? ^^ Yeah later when my laptop is fixed I'll chat with Grifkuba to see if the spam/spam names can be restricted. Torchickens (talk) 13:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
It does give me all rights, I think. It's definitely weird somebody is going after an obscure wiki or you for whatever reason. Thanks and best regards. :-) -Vipz (talk) 21:25, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey, are you available on Discord? I've sent you a DM there for when you're available. -Vipz (talk) 02:40, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vipz, thanks for sending the DM. ^^ I'm sorry, I get shy and have a tendency to stop regularly checking messages on a platform sometimes (also I get stressed having joined so many Discord groups). I've replied now, and thanks for informing me. Torchickens (talk) 18:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Interface admin question

Hi, what's up? :) I need you to check something for me. Can you go to Special:ChangeContentModel, enter whatever page e.g. Main Page, and check whether (as an interface admin) an option called "Sanitized CSS" is listed alongside "plain text" "CSS" "JavaScript" and "JSON"? I'm on another wiki where I want to guide someone to perform a sanitized CSS content model change, so I need to know if that option exists. I would be very grateful, thank you in advance. -Vipz (talk) 08:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vipz. ^^ I checked the Special page for you and it doesn't appear to be there for some reason. I am part of the following user groups bureaucrat, interface administrator, suppressor, administrator. Hope this helps.

Torchickens (talk) 19:33, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Yep, thanks for helping out! It remains a mystery... -Vipz (talk) 07:22, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

The wiki is nearing 5000 articles soon! You've put quite an effort into this wiki... well into all wikis you've edited too. :D What do you think about the Kirby franchise? -Vipz (talk) 20:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Vipz ^^! I'd love to, I just don't know that much about Kirby (the main information seems to be there). I'll look through the wanted pages, though. Torchickens (talk) 20:55, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Oh if you meant my opinions on the Kirby franchise in general, I like it and I'm a big fan of the light-hearted atmosphere to it. I remember doing a marathon of all the main games at the time. Now the new Kirby Switch game has come out I've really been enjoying it ^^, but haven't found the time to complete it yet. Torchickens (talk) 20:57, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Also Jun Ishikawa makes amazing music for the Kirby games. I can't get enough of it, lol. Torchickens (talk) 20:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I meant opinions on it in general. That's nice to hear! I've not played as many Kirby games, but I agree especially on the music part. WiKirby has a lively community, so if you catch interest in the ongoing series, you know where you're welcome to edit. :-) I think you might catch interest in the one canceled and two obscure games that don't have articles on WiKirby yet: https://wikirby.com/wiki/Kirby_(series)#Other_games. -Vipz (talk) 21:10, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey, this might interest you for the NintendoWiki article. -Vipz (talk) 20:40, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for that! ^^ I may check it out soon. Torchickens (talk) 23:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

StarfyWiki has been down for weeks

Hey Evie! I've been notified by someone that the Starfy Wiki has been down for several weeks by now. Do you know why and do you have contact with the person hosting it? Could it switch hosts if the problem cannot be solved by its current owner? -Vipz (talk) 22:33, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I've chat with Pie Bandit and it's back up now. Thanks for the heads up! ^^ Torchickens (talk) 16:37, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Renaming yourself

G'day Evie. Noticed you created another account, why didn't you use the Special:RenameUser feature? -Vipz (talk) 13:02, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Vipz! I missed you. Good day too. I couldn't but forgot the details exactly; it was a technical error. I asked Grifkuba but it unfortunately wasn't the time. EvieMelody (talk) 13:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Well, they didn't get back to me but it's understandable; they are overworked and don't get appreciation they need and God bless them. EvieMelody (talk) 13:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
They haven't got back to you in over a week? Who did you contact? -Vipz (talk) 19:13, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Tacopill but Lake got back to me on October 16th, asking if I'm still getting the error. Communication hasn't continued from there (at that moment I was the one vacant for over a week). Though it's all good thanks. ^^ If any other user wants to rename using Special:Renameuser though, I'll ask them again. EvieMelody (talk) 21:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Yeah it is a bit difficult and a member from Grifkuba recently stepped down. EvieMelody (talk) 21:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
If it's a technical error, that's understandable. I remember when ShoutWiki outright refused to rename my account when you asked them, without even explaining why. At least we can be glad we're not on Fandom, which allows only one permanent rename per account.
Also yeah, Grifkuba seems to have been in a tight spot last few months. Some wikis Grifkuba hosts (mostly the bigger ones) are considering a move to other hosts due to too many issues. However, it has to be appreciated that Grifkuba will gladly host even small unprofitable wikis and help them become independent from restrictive wiki farms. -Vipz (talk) 18:33, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
I relate with that, yeah. Exactly. ^^ EvieMelody (talk) 09:34, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Hey Evie, I stopped by to wish you merry Christmas and all the best in the coming New Year 2023! -Vipz (talk) 15:06, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Merry Christmas and best wishes to you too! ^^ EvieMelody (talk) 20:32, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Browser Extention

I think you should install the Internet Archive's browser extention and set it to archive pages you visit so that Sanrio information isn't lost to time from un-archived websites. Especially given how many stubs there are, people in the future might want to learn more about something from the wiki by checking the references but be unable to due to the website already being gone.--TauDudeBlobber (talk) 04:45, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! ^^ I'll keep that in mind. EvieMelody (talk) 19:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
