Image uploads
Hi, I'm new to this site. Actually I've browsed here many times before, but today was the first time I've tried editing any wikis. I made a bunch of edits to images related to Ralph McQuarrie artwork, and I wanted to upload a few thumbnails of his artwork that is not already available here, but it says I can't because of protections against "upload abuse" and that I should contact an administrator.

Is this something you could (and would be willing to) help me out with?

I've been a Star Wars fan for a long time, and especially interested in preproduction artwork, and I have a number of contributions I could make to this site in that regard. Thanks.

Wiki Website Icons
I have a question- on Wookieepedia and many of the large major wikis, when you look at the Internet tab that the website is on, they have a specified icon before the website title. Woookieepedia has the circular red white and black icon. Most wikis, instead, have the typical blue W. How can you customize your wiki to have a particular icon for your wiki?


 * Hi. That's done by uploading a new version of [[File:Favicon.ico]]. You can read more about it here. I hope that helps. Cheers,  grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 02:02, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Wedge Antilles
Hey, Grunny. When you get a chance, can you look at the Wedge Antilles FA nom and approve/archive it? Ordinarily, I wouldn't bug someone about this, but it's been sitting ready to go for over two days now. Trust me, I'm glad it's finally over after 17 months. I'll even help you out: here's the nomination diff. Thanks.  Master Jonathan &mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 00:46 UTC
 * Done. grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 05:39, December 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay! --Eyrezer 06:13, December 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! And it looks like it will hit the Main Page the day after my birthday. Cool!  Master Jonathan &mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 15:46 UTC

The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide request
Hi Grunny? Could you please check what The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide says about the Dominus sector and on which page(s)? Thanks in advance. TK 999  21:30, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi TK. I should be able to get this info for you tomorrow, sorry for the delay. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 15:24, December 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. TK  999  13:10, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Posted it on your talk page. grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 14:00, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! TK  999  14:01, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page FA code issues
Hey Grunny. Just wanted to bring it to somebody's attention that there is some bad code in the Main Page that will cause breakage if not fixed before the end of the year. The code that pulls the appropriate FA blurb has an #ifexpr function that was put in to enable a smooth transition when we switched to two per week; if that's not removed, it will try to go back to daily pages on January 2 and show a redlink instead. Also, the current code will cause the redlink Featured article queue/Week 52, 2012/1 to show on Sunday, January 1. I'll leave it up to you to come up with a solution to that.  Master Jonathan &mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Thursday, December 22, 2011, 02:28 UTC

Preloads
Hey, Grunny! Happy Holidays! Yanno, I've been trying to figure out why preloads don't work at w:c:tardis ever since the new editor smashed its way into our lives. But I just don't get it. For a time I had the drop down appearing in the same spot it is here at Wookie, but it wouldn't actually do anything when ya selected a preload. Now I don't even have that. Could I possibly get you to take a peek at tardis:MediaWiki:Common.js and tardis:MediaWiki:Wikia.js, and tell me where I've screwed up? No rush, the holidays are a busy time for us all! Thanks for whatever help you can give. 10:03: Fri 23 Dec 2011
 * Okay, I've finally got the drop-down working, but what's happened to the input box/custom preload? That was the coolest thing about the old system. I note that you guys don't seem to have custom working here, but there seem to still be references to it in the code.  Is there any way of getting it back?  11:04: Fri 23 Dec 2011
 * You're a god amongst men. Thanks for that lovely Christmas gift!  19:07: Fri 23 Dec 2011

Link change
Hello, Grunny. Following the pagemove of Dark Apprentice to Dark Apprentice (novel), I went through and attempted to change all links to Dark Apprentice to the new name. However, I was unable to change the link on your userpage because it is fully protected. As the Dark Apprentice title is now occupied by a character article, the link(s) on your userpage now most likely point to the wrong article. You may want to check your userpage and correct the link(s) if necessary. On behalf of my operator,  Advanced Jedi Training Droid 6  ( Talk to my master ) 03:27, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Editing Article
Hey there. After being a fan of the website for many years, i finally decided to join and help editing where i can. However, because of my new status, I cannot edit featured articles. I have identified a possible grammar error in the 'Saving Darth Bane' section of the Darth Zannah article. It seems that the editor accidentally stuck another 'an' and made the sentence harder to understand. i'll list as follows "Caleb's daughter was an now an adult, however, and Zannah took notice of the satisfaction with which he spoke as he told her that his daughter was gone, and the Sith therefore held no more power over him."

I'll link you to the article; http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Zannah#Saving_Darth_Bane

Thanks for your time and consideration! --Hoth Chocolate 22:26, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ultimate Sith Edition - Title
The title is as it's stated in the press release, not as it is in the article. That's why I've changed it. Alexrd 00:31, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

AC meeting 43
Just reminding you that AC Meeting 43 is scheduled for this Saturday, January 7. See you there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Email pages
Pages like this belong in the Talk: namespace, not the mainspace. Placing them in the mainspace artificially inflates our article count and can result in them showing up on Special:Random, as has happened to me on a couple of occasions. If others are in the mainspace, then they should be moved to the talkspace as well. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 00:48 UTC

Thank you for the move
Thank you for moving it to the proper place. I think this was too hard an ambition for such a lame computer as I am. -___- I won't do it again. LelalMekha 13:54, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem :). Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 13:55, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

IRC
Could you pop into IRC for a moment? Got a question. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:58, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, just a minute and I'll be on. :) grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 05:59, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Inqmoot
Inqmoot 47 has been scheduled for midnight UTC on 29 January 2012. If you can't make it, please feel free to leave reviewing notes on the meeting page. I hope you had a nice break over New Years! --Eyrezer 22:40, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
I am currently in a conflict with admins on another wiki regarding Wikia policies, ao I ask you this:

Should a user under the age of 13 be blocked until they reach said age?

07:00, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Metlman. All issues regarding users who may be under 13 should be sent through Special:Contact. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 15:06, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Meeting 44
AC Meeting 44 takes place today at 9 PM UTC (4 PM ET). Please make an effort to show up, and apologies for the late heads up. 1358 (Talk)  18:23, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Newsnet
Hey Grunny,

I've written a post about the Episode I barn-burner for the Newsnet. I just created a wordpress account with gradualferguson@hotmail.com. Can you set me up so I can post it? And... should I just use html to post links to Wook articles? Thanks. Menkooroo 02:45, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Convention stuff
Hey. Per the Mofference discussion, I've started a section on the C6 SH thread to try to gauge whether there's enough people going and willing to volunteer to be able to have a table. Can you please advertise this via the sitenotice and community corner? I'm thinking something simple like, "Wookieepedia is considering whether to apply for a table at Celebration VI and is looking for dedicated editors willing to volunteer to staff it. If you're going and are interested, see this Senate Hall thread for information and signups." If you can put that in the sitenotice/community corner, that might draw in some of the quiet users who don't check the SH. Thanks. Master Jon Training Room Sunday, February 12, 2012, 04:57 UTC
 * Done, added to sitenotice and community corner. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 07:30, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Training Room</b> Sunday, February 12, 2012, 17:56 UTC

Inqmoot 48
Hey Grunny. Please mark your calendar for Inqmoot 48, which will be held on March 4 or 5, depending on your timezone. As always, please leave notes prior to the meeting if you cannot attend. If you don't, this time the newly resurrected Darth Maul will be sent after you. Hope to see you there!  CC7567  (talk) 05:50, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Newsnet post
Ping! Also four posts in the RSS feed please and thank you. :) Menkooroo 05:49, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Coolio! :) Remember to categorize the posts as well (interviews and wookieepedian of the month for this one). I've bumped the RSS feed up to 4 entries as well. Once the cache clears, the new post will appear. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 06:13, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the reminder. I'll be sure to categorize in the future. Thanks for taking care of this! Menkooroo 06:14, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for helping keep the Newsnet alive. :) grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 06:17, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Hey-hey! Another WOTM interview is fresh out of the oven. Categorized and everything. :) Menkooroo 01:32, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks great! :) grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 13:25, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Gadget typo
In MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, the line  should be   (period instead of comma). :) &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Training Room</b> Thursday, March 8, 2012, 03:43 UTC
 * Fixed. grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 05:29, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Copying my things
This user user copied my complete list and it's not even his work, but it's my work, where I put all my time in. Could you do something about it? He completed it completely, with a few things (and then a little few) different. --Station7 16:06, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I was wondering do you think it would be a good idea to open up chat on Wookipedia?--Tomahawk23 21:29, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

InQuest 39
The InQuest 39 page on Wookieepedia has been locked from editing, which I presume was because of vandalism or something like that, but I've been working on adding a couple of links from the page, and I was going to remove the "Excess of Red Links" gadget from its page, but then I realized that it was locked. Could you do that for me? ObiKenobiUPC 00:08, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 13:38, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Wikinav
Hi Grunny! How come this wiki does not have wikinav? It makes the wiki look more nicer with wikinav IMO. Is it b/c wikinav interferes with the clock or some sort of js here? -- 23:49, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi PlasmaTime. Simply because the community simply hasn't voted on whether to enable it yet. If the community votes to enable wikinav, it will be turned on. :) Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 15:05, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Another NewsNet post
Here's a ping! Thank you. :) Menkooroo 05:07, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome, looks great! :) grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 15:04, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Oasis editor
Hey Grunny. The Oasis skin editor seems messed up. If you press the > between the edit window and the sidebar, the editor seems to mess up pretty badly. I was given some fix on IRC but that was wiki-specific and only made the mess worse. Cheers, 1358  <sup style="color:#336600;">(Talk)  08:59, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, looks like it's due to the preloads and edit summary box. I'll have a play with the best way to fix it later. Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 10:37, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hey
Hey Grunny, mind popping into IRC for a while today if you have time? Thanks. 1358 <sup style="color:#336600;">(Talk)  10:33, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
