Hi

Hey, are you the aura24 on bulbapeidia?Da Man In Da House! (talk) 01:40, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

About my Category...

What's wrong with the category of Flying Skylanders? The Skylanders I put in the category actualy DO fly. Is there a certain reason, or are you just being mean? User:AdamGregory03

Congrats

oh god I have no idea how to use this. I already messed up before and deleted it but I'll try again. Grats on 5.2k edits xD -FireOfExile

Thanks, but next time, use the Leave Message at the top of the Talk Page, and the message afterwards will show you how to leave your signature (your name). And also add the title of the section you are sending your message to me of. -- Aura24 (talk) 05:39, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Is this right?

I hope I did this right. Fireofexile (talk) 05:42, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yep, that's correct. -- Aura24 (talk) 05:44, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Yay! And to respond I just press edit on this section and type a message? Fireofexile (talk) 05:46, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Yep. -- Aura24 (talk) 05:48, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Yay :D Btw I'm adding a section to Lost Islands with the store items and stuffs Fireofexile (talk) 05:50, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Cool, I corrected a few spaces on the Battlegrounds page. -- Aura24 (talk) 05:57, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
I saw, thanks. I took that part from theiTunes page? because I wasn't sure what to put there, and it got a bit messed up. Fireofexile (talk) 06:02, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Aura24,

Why is there no section for the Wow Pow powers for each character?

Treasure Chests and More

I'm playing through the game again so I can reset all of my Skylanders and upgrade them to see which path I should use. While I'm doing this I'm adding to the wiki pages for each level. Should I include info on how to find treasure chests, hats, and other stuffs? Fireofexile (talk) 00:13, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

You can. -- Aura24 (talk) 00:38, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I'm going to finish Time of the Giants in a bit with the information I have.
Finished :D Can you check it out and see if it's okay? I tried to look at Shattered Island's format so I could set it up similarly to that

Favicon

this wiki could use a favicon. I'd be happy to help make one, or edit one and add a wikia "w" to the favicons from the giants or spyros universe website. File:DoomslicerSig..png Quod may Minae sceptrum confuto! 05:09, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yes this wikia could use a Favicon, of course it has to represent Skylanders in general. You're free to suggest a picture of one. -- Aura24 (talk) 07:43, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Well, here's a pic of the skylanders giants website favicon. Many wikis use an altered version of official favicons, generally adding the wikia "w":
Or maybe we could do a custom sprite of a portal.
Hm, a custom sprite of the Portal would be nice. -- Aura24 (talk) 08:47, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

i'll try and do one, though 16x16 isn't a great size to work with... http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120306071312/nexusadventures/images/a/a4/DoomslicerSig..png Talk Page File:Doomslicer.png Quod may Minae sceptrum confuto! 03:21, December 1, 2012 (UTC)


It isn't the greatest, but it makes a fair rough draft:

I had to convert the file to an ico. file. I've uploaded to the wikia, it will take a while for it to appear on the wiki. -- Aura24 (talk) 01:18, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
it's just a rough draft, here's a different one made with a different editing program
File:Portalfavicon2.png
slightly better. may ahve some problems over a non white background

Updated version. To be honest, i dont think this is going to work. if someone knows how, just take the skylanders website favicon and edit it (that's how most wikis get their favicon). i think i removed the annoying white part on the edges:

ok, forget me making one. I'm going to go request help from some pros from PMC. i'll let u know how that turns out. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120306071312/nexusadventures/images/a/a4/DoomslicerSig..png Talk Page File:Doomslicer.png Quod may Minae sceptrum confuto! 06:18, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yo! The Real Sthomas here!

I just recived (i think i spelled that wrong) an auto message from you.


Im sorry that i put some of the enemies`s names wrong. The reason is that i have the Finnish writted and dubbed versions of Skylanders: Spyro`s Adventure and of Skylanders: Giants. So thats why i cant be sure of the english names.SkylanderFanFromFinland (talk) 06:08, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Cloud Patrol "Reset"

Hey, good news. My Cloud Patrol got "reset" yesterday :D I figured out that my saved data for Cloud Patrol was synced with my Activate account. So now if I log into it again I'll have my saved data back, and logging out will let me have the data synced with my iPad.

If you don't have Cloud Patrol you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. But the reason this is good is because when I sign out of Activate I can find more info about upgrades and such because I'm pretty much starting from scratch so I can see prices for the things I already bought on my Activate.

So yeah... Be expecting some more Cloud Patrol data :D Portal Master FireOfExile (talk) 15:18, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Giants

Thanks so much for telling people that every ginats has their symbol on them!

Can I be an admin? I have experience on wikis like this, and I can help in more ways than I have been if I have those rights. --Speedy: http://images.wikia.com/archiecomicssonicfanon/images/3/31/Sonicinwreckitralphrendsmall.png "Knight of the Wind" 16:13, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

block request

A certain user has been smapping up a bit and creating advertising pages. I've cleared most of his work (also on the shattered sigil page when i put in the description "spam..." i mean trying to undo his spam). but i need an admin to delete some of his pages, so if you could kindly rollback him or delete his pages, that'd be nice. Also, could he be blocked? It's getting annoying. Here's a link to his page: http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/108.33.56.211

Thank you,

EDIT: Sorry didn;t see you ahd deleted those pages. Also, could you block  http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/174.61.128.201 as well? http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120306071312/nexusadventures/images/a/a4/DoomslicerSig..png Talk Page Quod may Minae sceptrum confuto! 02:48, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Giant Edit

Hello this is user Gamebrain1. I realy like Giants so I started editing the pages of their special forms. For example scarlet ninjini. Anyway since I am new to this wiki and to skylanders please leave a message on my talk page telling me if I am doing a good job or if I am not.

Gamebrain1

Hey there, I know I am new here, but I had a suggestion of a possible future random quote/phrase

“Probably petting a unicorn at the end of a rainbow”
Slam Bam in "Tall Tales"

It's random, funny, and.......funny :)

Blalafoon

Hello! Thanks for the welcome! Started playing Skylanders about a month ago and I love it! Editing for this website is a pleasure!

Heey again.. SWAP Force discussion

U know that category, Swap Force Skylanders? Yeah, well... You don't have all the ones we know under that category. Could you put them under it, or make me an admin to fix this issue

thanks!Legendary Pop-Fizz (talk) 03:02, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Tabbing system

I see you liked the tabbing system I introduced :D XLR98 (talk) 15:59, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry...

Sorry about the photo

Hi, sorry I didn't realize it's best to bold the 'Spyro's Adventure' and so on- sorry if I caused any trouble. StealthElfFan01 (talk) 19:13, February 27, 2013 (UTC) (Joseph/StealthElfFan01)

Authenticity Issues with new pages

Aura- I have noticed someone creating a duplicate page for skylanders side kicks and a page named 'Skylanders Do this' which is causing concern for me as I am unsure of it's authenticity and whether or not it is fake or not but it seems as though both were created by the same person... just thought I'd let you know so you could check it out StealthElfFan01 (talk) 19:34, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


Hi Aura, what do I use my blog for? StealthElfFan01 (talk) 14:57, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

FLASHWING PROBLEM

Hi Aura- I noticed the Flashwing page has been damaged in the sense it no longer has the art for both normal form and jade as someone has tried to add the jade art but it has removed the originaol art. StealthElfFan01 (talk) 20:11, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

You can always revert the changes a user caused to the pages if this problem happens. -- Aura24 (talk) 23:23, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
How do I revert the changes, still not an expert on all the functions sorry StealthElfFan01 (talk) 22:20, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Go to History on the Edit tab, there you can see the changes made by each user. If a change by a certain user has caused a problem on the page, you can go to the page history before that very change and undo it by clicking and publishing the entry before the problem change. If the problematic change on the article is the latest, you can simply revert the change clicking the Undo button. -- 23:56, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the guidance- I'll use this the future to help the site where I can :) StealthElfFan01 (talk) 17:06, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to disturb you! New problem with user Daniel Vigiliante or something- creating duplicate pages! StealthElfFan01 (talk) 17:11, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Need help adding headings

Hi how would I add a new heading to a Skylander page as I noticed Boomer has no commerical quotes listed and I'm going through as many trailers as possible at the moment and adding quotes- instructions on how to do so would be appreciated, thank you StealthElfFan01 (talk) 19:48, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Enough with the caps please. Sorry, but I think you're old enough to know you don't have to put caps in every sentence.
Anyway, there is the Heading button in the Editing section and you'll see which type of Header there is. Each new section is under Heading 3. -- Aura24 (talk) 19:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Manual of style location?

Hi, where can I find the manual of style? I searched it up and can't seem to find it- sorry if I caused any trouble by the way, fairly new to the whole editing business StealthElfFan01 (talk) 20:41, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

It's on the Main Page. -- Aura24 (talk) 20:42, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Chat wasn't working sorry

Lots to say- be prepared

Okay- as I typed before the chat decided to corrupt itself.


I can see why your job would be stressful and may seem to go on endlessly and be a repetitive process and I sympathize with you for that.

However everyone has to start somewhere- even the kids. It's not the easiest thing to grasp the hang of- especially not being able to find the rules half the time (Don't worry I managed in the end). All children seek to become part of an adult world and that is something to take into account and I plan on making a wikia for kids to add whatever they like to in the future based on any game they like if that's even possible.

I am very very sorry for all the problems I caused and I'm sorry if it's taking up your time but I'm trying. I'm not going to leave because A) Like I say I'm a perfectionist and will not give up until I get the hang of this and B) I couldn't find the account deletion button.


To sum up- sorry for all my problems- I hope you forgive me and I will try to edit as little as possible.

No you weren't causing problems, I was the one lashing out due to my stress. And you're right, we all have to start somewhere. For future reference, you can look at the other pages in Source mode for example on how to add templates or headers. -- Aura24 (talk) 22:13, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Okay- I will definitely do that so I can avoid causing any mishaps and try to make your job less stressful. I also found some sources for good pictures while chat refused to send my messages so:
-
http://www.gamechronicles.com/reviews/360/skygiants/skygiants.htm

(^) Good quality various pictures of giants

- http://img.youtube.com/vi/BBpZZ4fOFLo/0.jpg <--- picture of evil eruptor (It is my new self decided mission to try and get some more pictures of the evil minions)

Now goodnight- I'll start my mission of getting to be a top editor done tomorrow- off to watch a late night horror film with the family, speak to you soon.... thanks for putting up with me once again :) StealthElfFan01 (talk) 22:23, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

The background is A little uneven id recommend fixing it, since only one bordor can be seen.

Monobook skin & spaces

Hi Aura. Not trying to edit war with you, it's just that I really hate it when people add spaces because "it helps seeing the editing window"; it's the simple fact people are gonna come here to see the articles, not the editing window. That's my problem with spaces. Anyways, I'm one of the few monobook skin users out there, and this wiki has absolutely no support for the monobook skin. I know you probably don't know how to make a good theme, so for people who don't, there's a wiki out there called Monobook Wiki that makes monobook themes by request; no fees! It's really bothering for your rare monobook skin users who come on this wiki and see everything white + a generic "Wikia" logo for the wiki. If you would like to know how to change it, the File:Wiki.png controls the logo for the monobook skin; you might wanna protect it too since it controls the interface logo. (Also, please do not call me "Club", please call me Chloe.) —http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121129030815/okamifanon/images/b/b5/Clubchloe1signatureicon.png Clubchloe1 18:31, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Well since you are using Monobook look, this makes editing more complicated with users who use the current Wiki layout. This wiki doesn't support the Monobook layout. The only user who complained about this "issue" is, so far, only you. -- Aura24 (talk) 18:42, March 22, 2013 (UTC)
Really?! Here's a list of things that is wrong with that crappy Wikia skin:
  • Content doesn't stretch across the whole page (thanks to those stupid modules)
  • Wiki activity exists (does not in the Monobook skin)
  • The banner at the top of the page (it makes users want to join Wikia than anything else)
See what I'm saying? Here's the advantages to the monobook skin:
  • Content stretches across the whole page
  • Tabs, which makes it much easier to navigate pages that relate to that page.
  • NO VISUAL EDITOR!! (I hate it; reason can be found here)
  • Of course, any wikifeature enabled (except for chat, but who on the wiki uses it anyways?!) will also work on the monobook skin.
So after those advantages, I'm not using the Wikia skin. It's not hard to request a theme at the monobook wiki; they make it in about a few days, then they give you the code and you can copy and paste it into MediaWiki:Monobook.css. And please, wikicode is very easy to learn; once you learn it it stays with you. —http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121129030815/okamifanon/images/b/b5/Clubchloe1signatureicon.pngClubchloe1 18:55, March 22, 2013 (UTC)
Ugh... if you're going to go on with this, take it elsewhere. This wiki supports the Wikia layout. -- Aura24 (talk) 19:02, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Grammar on section names & page titles

Please know that writing stuff Like This isn't proper grammar. It doesn't matter if it's a section name or a page name. It's not proper grammar to write stuff Like This. It's not a name or a proper noun. —http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121129030815/okamifanon/images/b/b5/Clubchloe1signatureicon.pngClubchloe1 21:47, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of a page

This page: Jet vac needs to be deleted; created by a anon who was adding fan fiction + duplicate page. —http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121129030815/okamifanon/images/b/b5/Clubchloe1signatureicon.pngClubchloe1 22:56, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
