Bot Family
Can you please e-mail me the pywikipedia family for Halopedia you made along with the user-config.py thing. My e-mail is patx44@gmail.com

Thanks a lot -- PATX


 * I don't think so. First, I don't particularly like the idea of people using Halopedia to test their bots. Second, if you can't manage to set-up the thing on your own I don't trust you to run it here. Third, you're currently blocked. I don't particularly like ban evaders either. 13:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah why not I have been talking to GPT. I know everthing I need exect the family part. I asked GPT to e-mail me his family and he said he would but he no longer has it. So he told me to ask you. And its not like I can not make one if I really tried I could probaly make one but then it would have some errors. hence it it might mess up Halopedia so if you just e-mailed me your stuff it would be so much easier you mess free. If you do I will make you friend userbox.... -- PATX


 * Hey why did you ban me from #halopedia? darth tom started it. and even so my ban can only last one ay i checked on the page about IRC rules. So next day I need to be un-banned or you will be beaking rules. And please stop inorging me it will not help this little issue. -- PATX

My wiki page thingy
Why did you delete my personal wiki page? It wasn't meant to canon, even a blind person could have seen that.
 * Because it wasn't canon? 13:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

re: editing
''Hey Manticore, ever since CT banned me a while back and I try to edit something, I get this same message "WARNING: Your browser is not unicode compliant. A workaround is in place to allow you to safely edit articles: non-ASCII characters will appear in the edit box as hexadecimal codes." but I never got that message before, any ideas why it has started up? (Just to let you know, the ban was just a little mix-up on my part, nothing serious)''
 * Have you switched browsers or operating systems recently? 13:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I havent changed my browser or operating system. It doesnt seem to effect my edits, I am able to edit this page fine. Perhaps it doesnt really matter, what do you think?--Lieutenant Commander''' 04:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No idea, I haven't heard of any problems like this in the past. Email technical@wikia.com and see what they think, otherwise, if your editing is unaffected I would just ignore it. 13:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Signature help
Hey thanks! It worked like a charm.

 * Try Google. 14:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

PATX Stuff
Dear Manticore,

I was wondering if I could have a three question interview with you about the the SR case. It is for an UnNews article I am writing. As I said it will be a very short interview, only 3 questions. Thanks You so much -- PATX  20:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Pass. Since when was this considered a "case?" 14:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * K thats fine I was just wondering seeing how FL agreed to it... -- PATX  19:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * just in case you do not check board messages... check my talk page -- PATX  18:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Bungie Cards
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to implement Bungie Cards on Halopedia (scroll down the Bungie article to find the heading "Bungie Cards"). Bungie provides HTML, but, predictably, it doesn't work on wikia. An example of the HTML would be my card, .

I realise that you do not have a Bungie account with a linked gamertag, so you cannot actually see the page providing the HTML, or test it except with that one example I provided, but I think it would be a great addition to the site, as about half the users have Bungie accounts and Xbox Live. It would be good if they could put a personalised Halo 3 card or banner at the top of their userpage.

Anyway, hopefully you could look into it? You know a lot more about HTML than me, or anyone else on the wiki for that matter. Thanks, Rec  lai  mer   simon   r  j  h 09:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, here's the problem. MediaWiki isn't recognising the ashx format of the Bungie Card image as an image, and so it renders it on the page as a link. I've whitelisted the bungie.net domain at Central, and have managed to get a gif image to render properly, but unless there is a jpeg or similar* version of the image it won't show on the page. Sorry. 04:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * * "Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, mid, jl, odt, ods, odp, odg, odc, odf, odi, odm."

the permitted file types is only for uploads, the url->embeded image list is much shorter, only includes png/jpg/jpeg/gif, and is hardcoded. even if the domain is whitelisted for hotlinking images, and even if the server properly spits out the image/foo mimetype for that request, mediawiki will not know to try to fetch it as an image. --Uberfuzzy 18:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.

RE:Congratulations!!
Thanks a lot Manticore. Coming from you, that meant a lot... seeing the list of Admins with my name on it after all the work I've done really gave this site yet another meaning to me. Thanks again!! --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administrators 14:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

IRC ban
Please can you tell me why I was banned from the IRC? I've been told I've been perma-banned, but no-one has told me who by or why. Thank you. Banana  Message MeEditsStats 16:48, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * PM me next time we're both online. 03:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I too would be interested to know why I've been banned for the past month with no reason given, and without having done anything wrong. -- Darth tom (talk)  19:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You're a completely separate matter - constant incivility in the channel has earned you a permanent ban. You have nothing constructive to add to the channel environment, and we've all received complaints about you. The other administrators and myself have unbanned, re-banned, and reviewed your case so many times we're all just sick of it. You show no indication of change, and you are no longer welcome in #halopedia. 06:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * So being randomly banned with no warning was warranted? I'd have expected a warning at least. -- Darth tom <span title="(talk)" style="color:black">(talk)  18:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I like DT was wondering why I was banned from #halopedia. You see I think it wrong that if you ban someone on the Halopedia you have to ban them on #halopedia to because they are completly different. I did nothing on #halopedia to deserve ab ban (from you at least). Please answer -- PATX


 * I'm not giving you another medium to harass people in. 01:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:Hey
How's it going? Yeah, things have been really good so far this year. I was busy as I expected to be, but things are going well. And you? -- E D  23:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Ammaraskar ban
Dear Manticore,

I'm messaging you on behalf of Ammaraskar. He told me he was banned and doesn't know why, because he didn't do anything wrong, as far as he knew. On his block, it says Reason: Harassment: UserBoard incivility. He wants to know why exactly he is banned and what he did wrong. Message it back to me, and I will pass it on to him.

Yours sincerely,

Oracle
Enjoy the last edition of the Oracle for a while. Figured somebody had to get out forgottenlord's last and extremely late work.

Promotion
I don't really deal with that kind of stuff... my main role here is helping users get started and cleaning up the mess from all the little kids running around.. =P to tell the truth, I don't even know how I got to being a Councilor in the CoH, so you're best off asking one of the other Councilors.. sorry. =( *hugs*  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  00:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Friend Remove?
Hello Manticore. I was just wondering why you removed me as a friend. I did nothing wrong, you see, and if I said anything to offend you, I don't remember it. I sent you about 2 messages asking why you removed me, and you never got back to me. Please, can you tell me what I did?
