Collapsing tables
I see that you changed the show/hide to +/- here. However, this is just my opinion, but those little characters are hard to click and aren't very noticable. I found that arrows:(↑↓) work well or show and hide. I'm just concerned people won't see the tiny [+] and [-]. Erwin Springer [talk] 14:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I changed it, I didn't like how big the show/hide was but I think that I may have gone a little overboard by changing it +/- Mark 06:15, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi
Can you let me in, on what is going on with those old accounts. (Sorry, I'm curious) Erwin Springer [talk] 20:50, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- they were both owned by the same person and he didn't want them to be hacked by unscrouplulous people and used to do damage to the wiki. He blocked himself but even then it's still possible to do damage so he asked me to take care of it for him. Mark 20:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Also, I created a list of talk pages here, I find it useful, just to see what is on the pages, but that's just me. Erwin Springer [talk] 20:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Delete
I want to clean out subpages, so if you could delete the pages in this category, that would be great. Erwin Springer [talk] 12:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi
It doesn't look like anyone else besides you is running this wiki, so can I put a request for sysop? I've had a lot of practice on the johnathon park site. Erwin Springer [talk] 12:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Done I was kind of reluctant about it not because I don't think that you aren't trustworthy enough to do it but because every other time someone has become an admin they suddenly disappear and have a drastic drop in their activities here Mark 06:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Cool!! Super Cool!! As ERwin would say: "Oh wow, Oh wow!" Erwin Springer [talk] 12:45, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Protect Template
Over at the jonathan park (which I've still never heard by the way ;) site I created a template that shows a lock for the level protection (see here). I looked it up though and I can't use the same method here as we aren't on mediawiki 1.15+ (see here). So once we are upgraded or if you think of a way to do it other than that we can use a similar template. I thought about simply replacing
{{PROTECTIONLEVEL:edit}}with
{{{1}}}but that would require us to put sysop or autoconfirmed on all of those pages. Thoughts? Erwin Springer [talk] 21:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Administrator
So, the main page is a protected page, right? Only administrators can edit protected pages, right? So why am I able to edit it? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- It's only user protected, so anybody who has an account can edit it without letting ip's edit it Mark 04:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oh Ok thanks. I'm really sorry about the whole thing with my account saying that I was. So what is the criteria for becoming an administrator? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- there's not any really set guidelines for being an admin, just being an active contributor, and being trustworthy Mark 20:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Creating an album
How do you create an album in the Albums page? --Trimmaio 18:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC) To be honest, I have no clue. I have tried too. Ask User:reddo User:meyouthemus 06:41 11 May 2009
Rename
I was just wondering why you did that. Everywhere your sinature is not points to a redirect. Erwin Springer [talk] 12:05, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- yeah, I thought I had reddobot set up to fix all of the links while I was sleeping, but I closed my laptop lid before I went to bed and the bot never ran. Reddobot is running right now fixing all the links Reddo 19:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Why did you rename yourself though? Erwin Springer [talk] 20:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- I think he means from simply "Mark" to "Reddo". And I would assume because that's your name on the ToO. God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- no comment Reddo 18:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
BTV Live
So have you heard this episode before hand some how? Erwin Springer [talk] 13:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I have heard it, I recieved a copy from FOTF to do a review like was done on the unofficial podcast however I've been busy with finals lately and haven't had a chance to finish it up Reddo 18:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Exec Producer
If it helps it all I just listened to Waylaid in the WIndy City and Chuck Bolte was the exec. producer. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:49, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I think I got almost all of them now, I'll have reddobot add the tags tonight Reddo 18:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Bot
I recently researched bots on MediaWiki and was wondering what you use to program it. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- It varies. It depends on what I'm doing, sometimes I use VB, sometimes I use excel, it's usually a combination of excel and Vb though. Also recently I found the AWB program which I've been using to add the music people in for each episode, it's really easy to use. So yeah as I said it varies alot Reddo 18:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm currently trying to learn how to program in vba. I cam up with this macro all by myself to figure out the quadratic formula:
Sub Quadratic_Finder_1()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler:
Dim a_term As Integer
Dim b_term As Integer
Dim c_term As Integer
a_term = InputBox("Input A")
b_term = InputBox("Input B")
c_term = InputBox("Input C")
MsgBox (((-1) * (b_term) + (Sqr((b_term * b_term) - (4) * (a_term) * (c_term)))) / ((2) * (a_term)) & " and " & ((-1) * (b_term) - (Sqr((b_term * b_term) - (4) * (a_term) * (c_term)))) / ((2) * (a_term)))
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox ("No Solution")
End Sub

- So is there a way that one could program a bot to go and find anywhere that the text, "FBI" and change it to be a link to "FBI"? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- Sorry for the long reply time, I was out of town for a few days. With my current set up that would be very easy to do, I'll put in on my list after the executive producers Reddo 01:39, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Character Pictures
A while back you said that you would email your contact at FOTF and ask them for the pictures of all the main Odyssey characters. Could you do that? I don't mean to be pushy, but that way we could delete all of my cheesy cut out character pictures, that often have parts of them missing. God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- yeah I recieved some files there wasn't a whole lot that I got I think that we already had most of them, I'll upload them sometime tonight Reddo 18:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Redirects
Hey, just got your message about the redirects; sorry about that, I didn't actually do it from the schedule pages, I did it from Wanted Pages. Again, my apologies. Rachel
Sorry
I thought it looked like vandalism (sort of). Erwin Springer [talk] 11:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Scripts of episodes
Is that legal to put uo scripts of episodes? Erwin Springer [talk] 16:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- That one along with a few others that I have were published on the official site a while back, there also on a few other fan sites if you look. I uploaded it more just to see what we could do with it Reddo 16:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- The ones I can think of are on Odyssey Scoop and Odyssey Fan and on gold audio 8. Erwin Springer [talk] 16:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello Reddo
I'm an active member from a wikihosting site and from the wikimedia sites, i just stumpled across this site and had a nosey around, i noticed that their was a few user rights that are black listed and wondered if you knew how to make them red/blue, many regards and any questions please ask Arctic Fox 23:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Who's in Charge?
Hey, Reddo, it's me again. Erwin Springer just informed me that Shadowpaw left the AIO community years ago. If so, who runs the ToO, The Soda Fountain(I wondered why there hadn't been a news update for a year or so), and this website? Who's in charge? Meyouthemus 06:07 12 May 2009 (ET[Eastern Time])
- Catspaw runs the too
- Shadowpaw still runs the soda fountain but is busy with his job and doesn't update often
- Here I am in charge but I try to run it kind of like Wikipedia where the community as a whole decides things
- Hope this helps Reddo 12:56, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Natedude24
It has been pretty slow around here lately, especially with everybody finishing finals and stuff like that. Now that it is summer, I am not nearly as busy, so do you think that I could be given administrator privileges? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk
- you've been around for a while, and you seem trustworthy so I'll give it to you, it's pretty much the same as being an admin for any other wiki, only difference is that here your admin rights can be taken away if they're being used inappropriately, enjoy Reddo 03:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi
Hi, I'm fairly new and I'm still learning about the wiki but I like editing pages. I get this following error when I first open a page...
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@aiowiki.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
...but when I refresh it goes to the page I clicked on. Stop Wooton Around 02:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
rating bar
I think only in Category:Infoboxes, most of those use it. Erwin Springer [talk] 12:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- ALso could you consider the bot flag if you find what I did useful. :) Erwin Springer [talk] 12:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Special Pages
Who can edit special pages? God Bless ~ Natedude24~ My Talk 16:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- You can edit the actual special pages, but most of the text found on special pages can be at Special:AllMessages. Those pages act as templates for various things around the wiki and for special pages. Erwin Springer [talk] 16:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- Although most can be edited as described above there are some that are only editable from the server side of things, if we want to change any of these just ask me about it and I'll see what I can do Reddo 00:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Can I?
Hello Mark, I'm Bart. An I was wondering if I have to have your permission to put up an new link in the Navagation Box that's on the Main Page. The link goes to the Odyssey Gazette. If you don't wan't it there just give me a call on my talk page and I will remove it for you. --Bart 17:56, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
