My User Page
If you have any time, could you please help me with my userpage? It has been acting up, and lately, the sidebar has been coming onto my userpage, making it almost impossible to edit (it covers the button up). I've already had Nicmavr have a go, but he couldn't get to the edit button :/

If you do somehow manage to get to the Edit button, then I should tell you that the problem lies somewhere with the banner on the top of my page. The  at the end does not work, and as a result, makes the box go around everything.

If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!


 * You should next time be more careful with DIVs. :P -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 07:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ha, ha, Subs. :P Thanks :)

Forge Objects
I'm fairly certain that my draft is complete... That is to say, while some costs and maxes are missing, the items themselves are present. Problem is, the page is huge -- takes a while to load, takes a while to edit, and it takes a lotta RAM even after it's loaded... I'd suggest breaking it into subpages by category (e.x. ), but I don't want to make the change (to the draft) without your approval. I also don't want to transfer the draft onto the official Forge Objects page until a decision (approve/deny) is made on whether or not it should be broken into separate lists.

If it is broken into separate lists, the main page can serve as an explanation of how to read the lists (grey cells mean an item isn't on that map; the text at the top is a description, at the bottom is a protip; etc.).

Please see Talk:Forge Objects; it would probably be good to continue the discussion there.  DavidJCobb  22:32, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

An Attempt to Help
Well I may possibly be the worst template programer ever, but I may be able to offer a possibility on how to fix it. Instead of using the : thing to move the stub template to the middle of the page, you may be able to use additional coding to set the template to center. If it stays at the top of the page, then theoretically the template should work again without any problems. Hope this helps. ~ Blade bane ~  Anti-Vandal ~ 10:30, September 8, 2009 (UTC)Blade bane
 * That would just make an article with the template ugly (in terms of format and display). What you should also consider is why the Main redirect template is not broken like the Stub template, seeing that both utilise ":". But thanks for the idea.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 10:35, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. That is very strange. I would only be able to guess; and again I am a terrible programmer, that something is wrong with the span style. If you can not find the direct solution to this, you may have to ask wiki staff and ask if any changes have been made to the span class coding. If no solution can be reached whatsoever, you may also be able to put the template in a box, but this will undoubtedly make the template look hideous.

Issues with Ajax and bans
I was trying to edit a page on Halo Fanon a few minutes ago, and it gave me this:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by Ajax 013. The reason given is this: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Sona 'Demal". The reason given for Sona 'Demal's block is: "Suspected of vandalism / sock (Subs, talk to me first)" Start of block: 02:39, September 10, 2009 Expiry of block: 01:05, September 11, 2009 Intended blockee: 68.97.54.2 You may contact Ajax 013 or one of the other administrators to discuss the block. Note that you may not use the "e-mail this user" feature unless you have a valid e-mail address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 68.97.54.2, and the block ID is #3570. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

From the look of it, one of Ajax's bans screwed up and also banned me. Can you please fix this because I am NOT "Sona 'Demal" and I have not been involved in any vandalism or sockpuppetry. Also, you wouldn't happen to have any idea how Sona 'Demal was able to use my IP address when he clearly has no access to my computer. There is no other person who uses Halo Fanon that I have met face to face. SPARTAN 119 03:14, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * IP addresses are temporary -- it's MAC addresses that are (mostly) permanent. What this means is that you could've ended up using this guy's IP address, if he or you were either using the same proxy or were connected to the same router/hub/etc.. Like, if you and he used computers on the same street (or otherwise nearby), for example, then you may have ended up getting his IP.
 * Alternatively, you could be lying right now. That's also a possibility. [[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  19:48, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me
But how do you get a merge template to work? Abce2 | I'll be back... To edit! 16:51, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Template parameters. Let's say you want to merge OTHERPAGE into PAGE; then, you'd put this on OTHERPAGE.
 * You can also add something to PAGE:
 * That'll display a message saying that OTHERPAGE should be merged into the current page. [[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  19:24, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I really don't appreciate you deleating everything I write. All I'm trying to do is contribute to this wiki, and I can't do that with you deleating everything I do, so back off. Sciencematt123 20:23, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
