RR >> WIKIA CODING!
Dear Ed,

I am pleased to announce that the forums have been restored to their former state...I'm anticipating a problem that hasn't come up yet, but I'll run further tests and see.

Oh, and thanks for adding the coding line in MediaWiki Commons.

Cheers,

Please
Dear Administrator,

As you are probably aware, there are substantial problems with the forums - new topics are not listed on the main forum page. This is a problem occuring on other Wikis as well, which I am trying to rectify if it is a local problem, and which Wikia, Inc. will correct if it is a MediaWiki problem.

Also, please enter:

Into MediaWiki:Sitenotice. I have done a large amount of research on MediaWiki v1.9, which we have just upgraded to last night, and am just detailing the ramifications of the upgrade and also announcing the forum breakdown.

Thank you.

Best regards,

message function edits
Dear Ed,

I have done a small amount of research on the MediaWiki, and have come up with proposed MediaWiki edits on User:RelentlessRecusant/Tech. Please implement what is on there, and I believe the message function will be restored to v1.8-era by my manual patches. Thnx.

Forum Fixed!
Dear Ed,

I'm pleased to announce that I have fixed the forums. The error was caused by an error in MediaWiki v1.9, but my measure is a (fully functional) stopgap before the Central Wiki fixes it and reloads it onto Halopedia.

UNSC Navy Enlisted Ranks
Hey ED. Noticed that you've tagged all the UNSC Navy Enlisted Rank pages as FactOrFiction, asking for sources. If you can tell me what you mean by that specifically, I can go about finding them. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 10:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The pages just need sources. Any source will do, just a place where the rank title was mentioned is fine. -ED 22:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

2nd Term on Fan Art Committee?
I thought users could only do one term in a row for the Fan Art Committee. However, Ryangreenday is running for re-election, is this allowed? I really don't remember, i just have a small memory somewhere in my head that i can't quite place saying "only one term in a row". Please do excuse me if I'm mistaken, i honestly don't remember. Thanks for your time.

Unyielding Hierophant pic
Ed, how come we know a lot more about unsc technology then covenant, and not many pic's of there starships. I mean we have the discriptions of these vessels in the halo books, but bungie only shows three typs of covenant ships in the curent halo games, and high chaity only shows covenant battle cruiers in there large fleet. Same goes with the Unyielding Hierophant, the "larger cariers" and the "five bubus section ship" in halo first strike, why is bungie so reluctent to show these ships or picks?-- Admiral Sozai Nexes  FLEETCOMM 11:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The Halo series is going in a different direction tahtn other sci-fi universes. Halo is immensely popular and makes huge money for bungie, as well as keeping fans like us hooked on it. Someday they may publish technical manuals, starship and fleet schematics, and the like, but for now, they have only limited manpower, and are pushing for quality over quantity. After all, Halo has a much smaller audience than Star Wars. -ED 19:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes I know, the games make alot of money. And with the movie and other games to follow(Halo 3,halo wars), halo will proably attract more people. but they have made hundreds of books and novels that tell the whole story, staship discriptions can easly take phsical form within a persons mind, but do they ultmetly fit the apperance of the vessel in pics? bungie could at least give some sort of art, silluate, or model. No, I am not aruing on this matter, I am just voicing my opion to the unsolved mysters of halo, like the fourruners and there tecnogly.-- Admiral Sozai Nexes [[Image:Legendary.jpg|25px]] FLEETCOMM 22:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not gonna lie, I wish they would release something like that, too. It would be a lot of fun to add to the wiki. -ED 23:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Me to, but one thing that excapes me is the locatons of the weapons on both the unsc and the covenant's staships-- Admiral Sozai Nexes [[Image:Legendary.jpg|25px]] FLEETCOMM 15:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

re: award
Thanks for the award.--Raptor117 02:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Any Fan fic
Since I know that you may or may not be on Halo Fanon much...(long boring explanation), you can put any fanon on the wiki. The format that we have, doesn't have to be the set design, that was just the excepted design. By the way, I gave you roll-back rights on Halo Fanon, since you are a Bureaucrat here. Anyways thanks, --H*bad 03:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but the stuff that Esemono deleted was on my page. My personal page. I don't think that putting fan-fic up there is a problem, correct? Please let me know. Regards,  SPARTAN-091   HelmetComm undefined Juliet  19:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Rollback?
May i be granted this. Don't worry, i know how it all works, i'm an admin of the Fanon site, but it would be a lot easier for me when the next vandal strikes. I could remove his edits before he even changes the page. As you've seen this afternoon i'm watching for vandals and this would be a great help. Thanks.

Imperial Admiral
Also, you admins may want to check Imperial Admiral, user Halo3 is completely re-writing the page based on his opinions. He's completely destroyed everything that was there. I can't do much without rollback.

Please
Dear ED,

Please add the following to MediaWiki:Monobook.js:

// inserts user name into addOnloadHook(UserNameReplace);

function UserNameReplace { if(typeof(disableUsernameReplace) != 'undefined' && disableUsernameReplace) { return; } for(var i=0; UserName = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[i]; i++) { if ((document.getElementById('pt-userpage'))&&(UserName.getAttribute('id') == "insertusername")) { var ViewerName = document.getElementById('pt-userpage').firstChild.innerHTML; UserName.innerHTML = ViewerName; }   } }

This DOES NOT do anything malicious. =D

The Black Rose
From DC's page:

"== The Black Rose ==

As you probably don't know due to it's lack of members, Spartan 387 has created another group much like the CoH or AVC, but instead this is a "resistance movement" against the CoH, AVC, UoH, FoH, and PoH, as the current list goes, as well as against you, ED, and Esemono. Due to your lesser likeliness to be on, I will of course forward this message to them, but you're the head admin, so you hear about it first. Anyway, I doubt he'll be much of a "threat," but he does say "you come to us not the Admins." As someone who's not even nearly your chief adviser but instead as some weird guy who wanders mindlessly and knows what he's talking about to some extent, I suggest you or one of the other admins deal with this, pronto.
