image help
do you know how to add an image from wikipedia into Halopedia? do i save it into my hard drive, and then upload it, or something else? thanks,

The  Lieutenant   General  20:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The image must be saved to your computer, then uploaded to Halopedia using Special:Upload before it can be used. -ED 20:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

merge

 * sorry to bother u, but we (UoH) didnt really wanna merge, we were sorta pressured into it by rr and other "important" users. Spartytime 21:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There are no "more important" users. If you don't want to merge, let the group know, or at least put it up for a group vote. -ED 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Kalmiya
Kalmiya (A.I.) needs to be moved to Kalmiya per naming convention, and it won't let me do it over the redirect, so if you could do that, it wouldn't really be greatly appreciated, but, you know, yeah. ;D g u e s t y -<font color="#9999ff">p <font color="#6666ff">e <font color="#3333ff">r <font color="#0000ff">s <font color="#0000cc">o <font color="#000066">n <font color="#000000">y -<font color="#000000">t <font color="#007700">h <font color="#00cc00">i <font color="#00ff00">n <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">y  21:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll take care of it. -ED 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

merge

 * sorry, we had a miscue. At first we didint like the merge, but then we realized we needed techinical help,itd also be good advertising on the CoH page. Sorry. Spartytime 22:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You can get technical help from other users, AND you can advertise on your own pages if you want. -ED 00:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'll take a look at it later. -ED 01:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Question made moot...
You said that the question on the Scarab talk page was since made moot by Halo:Ghost of Onyx, but, since I don't have the book on my person, could you clarify? Do you mean they're definitely mining thingys, or something else, or am I misunderstanding something, or am I awesome? Thanks. <font color="#000000">g <font color="#770000">u <font color="#cc0000">e <font color="#ff0000">s <font color="#ff3333">t <font color="#ff6666">y -<font color="#9999ff">p <font color="#6666ff">e <font color="#3333ff">r <font color="#0000ff">s <font color="#0000cc">o <font color="#000066">n <font color="#000000">y -<font color="#000000">t <font color="#007700">h <font color="#00cc00">i <font color="#00ff00">n <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">y  01:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In the book, there was another scarab on Earth, in Havana, the one that Will destroyed. It was called "Scarab Attack walker" or something like that, I believe; and the Covenant's purpose at Havana to to secure the elevator above ground. That, coupled with the description from the HGN, the Scarabs are definately assault walkers designed to clear out Human interference on a large scale before ground troops move in, just like the tripods on "War of the Worlds" -ED 01:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Image Links?
I don't supose that you know how to make images links, do you? For example, the following is a normal link: Now, doing the same thing, but replacing the text with an image. Making an image a redirect?
 * Covenant
 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 01:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you just add a colon before the first letter in the link, like this: Image:Halo.jpg, the result is a direct link, like this: Image:Halo.jpg. This also works for categories. -ED 19:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

General Disclaimer
Do you know if we can edit the bar at the bottom of the pages? right now it just says "About Wikia", "Terms of use" etc, but on old.halopedia we had the General Disclaimer down there. We should have an easy link to the disclaimer since it's the place where we warn users about spoilers. -ED 21:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw that you were talking about this did you get any answers? The only way I know how to do it is to edit the MonoBook.php -- Esemono 12:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC):

How do I change the footer?
To add or remove items from the footer on your MediaWiki page, you must edit the skin.

For example: if you go in to MonoBook.php (located by default in the "Skins" folder) you will find the following code:

<PRE> $footerlinks = array(  'lastmod', 'viewcount', 'numberofwatchingusers', 'credits', 'copyright',   'privacy', 'about', 'disclaimer', 'tagline',  );</PRE>

In the above you can simply add and remove items from the footer that you wish to appear in your footer. Remember the changes may not appear immediatly because of MediaWiki caches.

You can also customize the individual items by modifying certain pages or parameters:


 * lastmod - edit MediaWiki:Lastmodified
 * viewcount - edit MediaWiki:Viewcount
 * numberofwatchingusers - edit MediaWiki:Number of watching users pageview. This only appears if you also add $wgPageShowWatchingUsers = true; to LocalSettings.php.
 * copyright - edit MediaWiki:Copyright. The parameter $1 on that page is replaced with a link to the details of copyright for your wiki. In LocalSettings.php $wgRightsText for the link text and set either $wgRightsPage or $wgRightsUrl with the location of a wiki page or external URL.
 * privacy - this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Privacy for the link text and MediaWiki:Privacypage for the wiki page to which to link.
 * about - this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Aboutsite for the link text and MediaWiki:Aboutpage for the wiki page to which to link.
 * disclaimer - this is a link only. Edit MediaWiki:Disclaimers for the link text and MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage for the wiki page to which to link.
 * Hmm. Yeah, Angela says its not possible. -ED 19:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Forerunner's "Joke Section"
It started as a little joke by RR, but now it's getting out of hand. See here. I'm fine with a little joke on someone's userpage, I'll even tolerate numerous copies of it once we know what's going on, but now he's putting innappropriate jokes at the bottom of his page. The first one is just stupid and not funny, but the other one is offensive in more ways than one: I am requesting that this childish nonsense be removed, and, if this kind of stuff from Forerunner continues, that he be given a temporary ban to let him see what's wrong with his actions. <font color="#000000">G <font color="#770000">ü <font color="#cc0000">é <font color="#ff0000">ß <font color="#ff3333">Ł <font color="#ff6666">¥ -<font color="#9999ff">∏ <font color="#6666ff">é <font color="#3333ff">Ґ <font color="#0000ff">∫ <font color="#0000cc">ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  18:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Promotes bestiality,
 * 2) Insults British army, as bin Laden would be caught if he was in Wales, and
 * 3) Insults Muslims, saying that bin Laden can do whatever he wants with them.
 * I think you should confront him about how you find it offensive. Since it is on his own userpage, we do not yet have a developed policy for userpage content that is not fanon. -ED 19:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

help!
Dear Ed,

Lumpy has erased Sogy's talk page and written "yo mama" twice! Could you give him like one of 'em 1-hour bans or something?!

Thanks. =D
