Can you help me please? (Edited)
Sorry nevermind! I was wanting your help but I found out how to do it, so I changed my post. Sorry! Congrats on being Admin btw. --Simon3712 (talk) 14:08, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Some cleanup talk
So you've got a bit of a backlog of pages submitted for deletion. Might want to give that a once-over.

Also, I'd really like to be given the A-OK on something. The Sonic X and Another Time/Place character pages for Sega characters are largely redundant, stating information already covered by their issues/main pages (ESPECIALLY ATAP) and only really linking to a few pages. The ATIAP and Sonic X main pages already have character lists. Would it be okay to simply add the pages to the prune list, fix the redirects to the proper versions of the characters, and spruce up the main SX/ATIAP pages? Possibly change the links on their main pages to hyperlinks to the SNN articles? As they are now, they're kind of cluttering the wiki without adding any information and making everything more complicated than necessary for the readers.

Re: Renaming Categories
Hi Diamonddeath. Sure, I can help with that, although maybe you could give it a try yourself. The easiest bot programme I found for this kind of thing is AWB, which you can read up about here. There's a link to the download and to some guides. I suggest you give it a try by yourself to start with, but if you want any help let me know. -- Supermorff (talk) 11:09, February 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Um, I don't think it works on a Mac, sorry. I don't know about bots for a Mac, but I'm sure they exist. I'll do the category change in a bit. -- Supermorff (talk) 18:17, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done. You'll still need to delete the old category and make a new one at the new name. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:43, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Just a small question...
I've got a small question. Why can't regular users upload images? I'm guessing it's because of some spam images being uploaded. I'm a nobody! 02:33, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Promotions
Honestly man, I have no idea. I believe Prad was the one who contacted me about being made an admin, so I would assume so. You might want to ask him about it; I have no idea what all it entails. On a side note, cool pic with your page-good old, or more correctly bad old, Geoffrey at his villainous best.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 02:27, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * No idea; if the info's not on his page and he isn't on Bumbleking or something like that I haven't the first clue where to find him.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 23:46, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the real world Tasmanian Devils and Echidnas. Question is, who's Knuckles and who's Thrash?--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 03:58, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Haven't a clue-might be able to find out though.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:24, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * A depressing thought indeed. I honestly can't think how we might do it; I barely use my own abilities as an admin, and thus have no idea how to confer them upon others. If we can't get ahold of Thot Prad or any other admins who have been at this longer, we might be in a real pickle-and I'm not talking about the professor. I'll see if I can find Thot somewhere. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 04:56, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Diamonddeath, who did you have in mind for promotion to admin?--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 00:44, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

So Diamonddeath, you remember how you'd asked about how we could promote some people to admin? Well, I think I found out how. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 04:49, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I found out how you do it, but it doesn't look like I have the ability. In order to make someone else an admin, you have to be a bureaucrat, which Thot Prad apparently didn't make me when I was made an admin. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:51, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

Could you upload the Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 260 image? I uploaded it at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1t2rzsHHd-zX3RyQThJdHptRGc/edit.

Infobox Coding
If you haven't noticed yet, I was able to figure out how to manipulate the tabber element for the variant covers and removed the background color and change text size and color in the Comic Infobox template code. Let me know if there are any other coding chages you can think of or if you want me to manipulate colors/text with other stuff. Chaosjam (talk) 16:50, February 20, 2014 (UTC) chaosjam

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my own stupidity. (TheAwesomeHyperon (talk) 04:50, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

It was uploaded by a sonic news network user. They use mostly official artwork of the freedom fighters instead of scans (why don't we do that?) so anyway I hope the pics useful and we need to uncaptilize the t in "the".

I'm sorry to be a broken recored. I moved Rotor The Walrus back to Rotor Walrus. This part of an effort to name it Rotor the Walrus, no capital T. I need help to move the page to Rotor the Walrus.

Pre-Genesis Mobius and Angel Island Maps
Here are the maps for the said articles. I found them from the SNN wiki: Profgawhite678 17:36, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Angel Island: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/File:147.jpg
 * Mobius: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map.jpg

Hello, Diamonddeath. I would like to ask you on what it takes to be an administrator on the wiki. I don't demand rights currently, but I would like to know how to obtain said rights by editing, warning users, etc. BlueSpeeder (talk) 19:20, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, I understand. I just wanted to ask about that. Thanks! BlueSpeeder (talk) 21:42, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

Featured Article
can we switch out the featured article please as we've had the same one up since April. I've suggested using eclipse on the featured article candidates page for the next one just need an admin to switch it out since it's the candidate for the next one. can you please do this in the next few days please.DalekSupreme13 (talk) 09:40, August 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have added to Eclipse's appearance section as best I could. I'm not the best at writing a description about a character's appearance so someone will probably have to expand on what I've wrote, but hopefully it is enough that it will allow eclipse to be used for the featured article on the main page.DalekSupreme13 (talk) 06:05, August 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Diamonddeath.DalekSupreme13 (talk) 16:39, August 20, 2014 (UTC)

Erased Zones
Should we create a separate category for the zones/realities that were erased by the super genesis wave or use the Locations removed by the Super Genesis Wave category for them? DalekSupreme13 (talk) 07:31, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Jon O'Hedge Article Title
I'm honestly neutral on the position for the name of Little Jon's page, but I do see your point. I'm not really sure if he was ever referred to by his actual name in the comics and they've never really stated how surnames work in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. It would probably be the safer option to change the name of the page from Jon O'Hedge to Little Jon as it is the moniker everyone seems to use for him. DalekSupreme13 (talk) 08:17, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Game Stuff
I think I can definitely help with that-I've a history of overly long article sections that I'd like to remedy. As for the Zones thing, given that the comic has applied it to alternate universes, it might be best to stick with Video Game Locations. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 03:36, November 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I posted an inquiry to Ian to see what game appearances by Blaze are canon in the new continuity-once I find out we can see about getting a shortened version up. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 00:10, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Just heard back from him: he says that the games are to be treated as canon, but that there are comics-exclusive variations yet to be revealed. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:40, November 24, 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, I think what you wrote on there is awesome-it's a thorough, detailed summary of what Blaze did in each of the games she appeared in, and I don't feel like it's overloaded with detail at all. By the by, do you have any thoughts on the idea of including sections on Sonic 06 in various Sega character articles? I know it's a difficult question because the game's storyline essentially negates itself. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 05:44, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

I did some major editing for Thunderbolt (mostly just adding the description template) and all that's left is a picture of her. Maybe there could also be a smaller picture of her in a robot suit. Thanks anyway! FinnyFinFin (talk) 19:59, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

Shagges
I hate to be that guy, but can you please talk to Shagges please. He is making lots of random edits that aren't really constructive for the wiki. It wouldn't be so bad if it was like one or two edits, but he is making dozens of them each day. Can you please talk to him about it before it gets even more out of hand please. Again, I didn't want to do this, but I feel it needs to be said.DalekSupreme13 (talk) 06:47, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

What's wrong with me adding Rouge (dismbiguation), House of Acorn (disambiguation), Chaotix (disambiguation), Cheese (disambiguation), Alternate versions of House Acorn, Alternate versions of Mighty, Alternate versions of G.U.N., Alternate versions of Max Acorn, House of Acorn (Dark Mobius), Big Cat (Light Mobius), Knuckles (future version), Dulcy (future version), Chaotix (Giant Robotno), Max Acorn (Dark Mobius), Super Shadow (Another Time, Another Place), Team Dark (Another Time, Another Place), Team Rose (Another Time, Another Place), Chao (Another Time, Another Place), Omochao (Another Time, Another Place), Flicky (Another Time, Another Place), Omega (Another Time, Another Place), Burning Blaze (Another, Time Another Place), adding Terapods.

Chaotix (Dark Mobius) the members are in that alternate version that means the team my be in Dark Mobius.

Also what's wrong with Unlce Chuck remebering the old prime zone or Silver or Metal Sonic or Eggman Nega or Shadow or Omega.

What i said before SEGA would not have video game characters Babylon Rouges, Jet, Storm, Wave, Sol Zone Pirates, Captain Whisker, Battle Bird Armada, Cocount Crew removed in the Genesis Wave.

What's bad about the ideas of Team Dark or Silver or Blaze or Metal Sonic or Cream or Team Rose or Chaotix riding Extreme Gear. Team Rose, Team Dark, Chaotix, fighting the Battle Bird Armada.


 * I have no problem with creating disambiguation pages if there are more then 2 versions of something, but creating blank pages just adds unnecessary clutter to the wiki. Just because there are versions of some of the chaotix in the dark Mobius universe doesn't mean that there is a version of the chaotix in that universe. there is a version of sally in the litigopolis zone, but there isn't a version of the knothole freedom fighters in that zone. We also can't assume a character still exists in the new timeline just because they are sega characters or are from the satam show. ari the ram was a supporting character in satam, but he has been removed. You also can't add made up information to pages just because you like the idea. and lastly you can't add a character to a category just because you want to. they actually have to qualify for that category. chuck has no memories of the old timeline, so he can't be put in that category. It's great to have another enthusiastic editor on the site, but the edits you make have to be constructive. DalekSupreme13 (talk) 07:26, December 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Stop lying saying you have no problem. If you didn't you would note remove or delete these edits.

Shagges, I already spoke to you about this, but you deleted my posts. You cannot post assumptions as fact. Consider this your last warning. I Don't want to have to issue a suspension or ban. And before you call me a hater, realize that while the devotion is highly appreciated, and the time you dedicated is highly admirable, the fact remains that you cannot post assumptions as fact. There really is no place for assumptions in an encyclopedia. Diamonddeath (talk) 04:47, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Another Time, Another Place
Follows the video games so Vanilla, Super Shadow, Burning Blaze, Mephiles, Iblis, Solaris, Badnik Horde, Froggy, Chao, Omochao, Gizoid, Flicky, Omega, Team Rose, Team Dark, Tikal, Chaos, Cocnut Crew, Gerald Robotnik, Maria Robotnik, Princess Elise, Chip, Professor Pickle, so they are in this version. Just because have not been seen does not mean thay are not in this version.

Re: Category Help
Happy to help out. What do you need? You shouldn't need to request registration or anything to run AWB, I don't think. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:09, December 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, the only way this is going to work is if I remove everything from those categories, then you add back the few pages that are supposed to be there. That's what I'm doing now. Let you know when done. -- Supermorff (talk) 20:49, December 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * FYI, Wiriamu asked about removing the category, so I've stopped removing it until that's cleared up. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:23, December 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey. Wiriamu was ok with it once I explained, and I've finished emptying those categories. Feel free to add back the few actually relevant pages. It might help to look at the list of pages that the bot edited: http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Supermorff_Bot Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. -- Supermorff (talk) 23:19, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, you've got me on that one. The sad fact of the matter is that we know very little about what characters are or are not going to be back. My general assumption is that everybody not introduced during Ian's run is gone, as are any characters who were based on/derived from Ken Penders concepts. However, at this point I think we can safely confine it to any Ken Penders characters and any characters from Light or Dark Mobius. I'm hoping that at some point we'll get some definite feedback on who else is or isn't gone, but I that list covers things for now, and we can add to it as any new information comes up. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 23:46, December 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * ...yeah, that is a tough point. The worst part is that the legal hoopla makes it so that Ian can't even give us a definite list. It might be best just to leave the category out and stick with the "Characters who survived the Super Genesis Wave" category-if it's not in their page then they didn't. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 05:34, December 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Or perhaps we could remove all the Super Genesis Wave categories and replace them with "Old Reality characters," "New Reality characters," and "Dual Reality characters"-the last category referring to Sega characters and others who have appeared in both. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 19:42, December 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see Ian going that route personally-I know he liked a lot of those characters and don't think that, even with his Segafication tendencies, he would want to do something like that. Honestly, given that the legal issues surrounding things make it unlikely that we'll ever see a Chronicles adapt or characters, I prefer to imagine that the Dark Legion and former Angel Island/Albion Echidnas either live in the Twilight Cage separate from the Nocturnus or else in another dimension altogether, and that at some point-beyond the eternal teenage years of Sonic and co. as demanded by Sega-Knuckles will find them. However, I would assume officially that they no longer exist at all, taking it as an effect of the Super Genesis Wave being able to rewrite reality without any known restrictions and Sonic's limited success in undoing it. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 02:42, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

So my friend, do you think we should apply the Old/New/Dual Reality categories?--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:17, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

Shagges Again
Like I said before I hate to be that guy, but Shagges is at it again. He's doing exactly what got him blocked before again and he has clearly stated on his talk page that he is not willing to discuss the issue and is going to keep doing it no matter what anyone says. What I find really alarming is that he says on his own talk page that he has done this before on other wikis and has been reprimanded for it by the admins on those other wikis. Considering that he keeps doing the exact same thing that got him blocked before and that he refuses to discuss the issue I think it might be time to consider a permanent block or at the very least a longer block then what was given previously. If a diplomatic solution to the problem can be reached without resorting to a permanent block that would be preferable, but I doubt it since he has already stated he refuses to talk about it. I admire his determination and persistence, but when your part of a community you have to make compromises. I really hate having to be the one to bring this to your attention, but it has to be said. DalekSupreme13 (talk) 10:34, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Shagges has now been banned for one year-we warned him and he ignored us. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:17, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * If Archiecs is Shagges by another name, we'll just have to deal with him again. I'll give him a warning, but if he keeps it up I'll ban him. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 02:30, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Done. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:31, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Pictures
Listen, I know that only certain users can upload images on this wiki, but I'm getting a little impatient about waiting for someone to post them. Can you please upload some images, like all the covers we don't have yet? E-124 Poldege (talk) 05:30, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Groups Template Coding
Looking to help out with your request for the Group Template background problem (as well as other coding requests). I see the "black background behind the text" issue on the Eggman Empire page but not on other group pages. Do you see it anywhere else on the Wiki? Chaosjam (talk) 14:06, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

UPDATE: I figured out the issue. Looks like the problem was under the "Government" Template. Just like you suspected, it was an issue with the background color set to black but the real problem was when you published the change to that template, it still didn't update the pages that used it; as for example I was still seeing the black background on the Eggman Empire page. However, once I went to edit the actual page again and re-look at the template, I could see the changes took effect but would not be shown on the page until I published the page again. So the solution is "simple"; if you see a page that has that black background behind the text, just hit edit on that page then hit publish right away. The template changes will then be applied. I don't think you should need to re-publish the page, it should have just taken effect after the changes I made to the Government Template but it is what it is. Chaosjam (talk) 14:46, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

I am currently working on figuring out why some groups are displaying white backgrounds and why some are displaying that "off white" background. When I figure it out, I will make sure they all display with the "off white" background color. Chaosjam (talk) 14:44, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

UPDATE #2: Figured it out in the template and you can see on the Chaotix page it's been fixed. But again, I had to re-publish the individual page so the change would take effect. Is there anyway we can refresh the Wiki so all the changes can be applied across site? Otherwise, I'd suggest if you see anything odd, to just re-publish that page first and see if that makes a difference. Chaosjam (talk) 14:54, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Basically someone changed the background color to White for the Group template. Now the reason it was displaying on only some of the pages goes back to this issue of the the template changes not taking effect until you re-publish the actual page. If the Wiki did a full refresh before I made the background change, then we would see ALL pages with a Group template have a background color of white. But since that doesn't seem to happen too often, it only will display a white background on recently re-published pages (due to the post-reboot changes people are making to articles, the Chaotix would fall in that category of recently re-published, thus showing a white background). Like I said, I changed the background color to the one you wanted so if you see a page with the template background white, then just re-publish it and it will change to what you want. A suggestion, maybe put out a notice that if someone sees something odd in an article, tell them to re-publish it first real fast and see if that changes the oddity. The main issue right now is finding a way so template changes show up instantly, I don't know if that is a setting somewhere on the Admin side but even clearing my cache doesn't push the changes. It's somewhere in wiki that is hold those changes back from showing instantly. Food for thought. Chaosjam (talk) 15:17, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

Sonic's Species Issue: Actually this was pretty simple, the Species box was just simply left blank on in the Template editor. All I did was go into the editor for Sonic's template and added "Hedgehog" into the Species box and then published it. Just FYI, I am having a much easier time using the Classic Editor for page changes than the regular Editor. Chaosjam (talk) 14:29, February 13, 2015 (UTC)

Bureaucracy
I am all for you taking over the job-I'm just not sure how you'd be able to do so. Thot Prad is the only person on the wiki I'm aware of who has bureaucratic powers, so I assume you'd have to get them from him somehow. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 20:07, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

Template backgrounds
Hi Diamonddeath. I don't think I can answer your question. The backgrounds of those templates you linked to don't look black to me. It might be a bug based on whatever internet browser you're using. I'm using Firefox. You? -- Supermorff (talk) 08:39, January 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I have no idea how you would do that, or why the background would be different on different pages. -- Supermorff (talk) 11:51, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Image Placement
I tried adding a thumb to each image, but I couldn't think of a good-enough description. They're kinda generic-looking images, so it was hard trying to summarize what they depicted. LogiTeeka (talk) 03:38, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

German Archie Comics Wikia
Hi!

In the last weeks I created a Archie Sonic Comic Wikia in the german language and for the future I will work on that one to represent the Archie Comics in the german language as well. I managed to create interlanguage links for  and   (See here) and I want you to ask if you as an administrator can put the code  on the end of the mainpage. That would be great :)


 * Oh of course because I found it around two weeks before, but it would be better to add the interlanguage links on the mainpage now and on the pages while editing, instead of adding them after I have built a huge content. For the interlanguage links in the articles you don't have to worry about, because usually when I finished an article, I will add them as well on the english Mobius Encyclopedia. Only the main-page is closed for me, so I contacted you.


 * Interlanguage Links are links between wikias with the same content but with a different language (See more on: Help:Interlanguage links) and I would like to make those links in the english and german Archie Sonic Wikia. As you can see here I have one for the english page (scroll down to the bottom and there is a link called "English" and there you go and see the englisch page for Worlds Collide).


 * You can also add the interlanguage links on the main page by adding  on the bottom of the page. The mainpage is closed for "normal users" so only admins can make edits on the main page and so I asked you to do it ;-)

Blaze Origin
Be that as it may, until we have an official print source or something from the games indicating that this is the case, I don't think it belongs in the bio section of the article. The trivia section seems like a better option for now, and if you can link it to the Ask Ian in question it would be good. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 17:14, March 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a section that contains the info on Blaze's role in Sonic 06 on her page-it just doesn't say that the alterations to time caused by Sonic and Elise somehow ended with her being rewritten out of Silver's future and into the Sol Zone's timeline.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 22:53, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

That would be fine, in my opinion. It's just including it in the actual article at present that I'm leery of. --Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 23:46, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ian's been pretty good about answering questions in the past-we just may get a more condensed version of the theory.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 21:47, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Go for it man.--Spectre the Hechidnat (talk) 22:25, April 14, 2015 (UTC)

About Sonic Archives #26
Hey, I was wondering if the placeholder cover for Archives #26 should be added to the Archives page or if we should just wait and see if a new cover is released for Archives #26?

Re: Re: Archives 26
Alright. For the time being, I've used the placeholder for Archives 26 and added it to the gallery.

Re: Neo Metal Sonic Infobox
Not exactly sure what you mean. Host Form, Description and Item text blocks are blank. You need to fill those in if you want information to display just like the other Infoboxes. Chaosjam (talk) 20:32, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

UPDATE: Still don't know what you were doing wrong. I filled the blanks under Host Form and Items, hit OK then published it and the info displayed right away. I didn't even change anything with the code because it worked on all the other super forms. You can go check it out on the Neo Metal Sonic page. Chaosjam (talk) 12:25, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

What exactly do you mean by "Further Super Forms"? Chaosjam (talk) 18:17, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Re: New Julie-Su Image
It's from the digital version of Sonic Select Book 5. I just zoomed it in a bit and removed the checkerboard background.The Shadow Emperor (talk) 21:21, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to update the image.The Shadow Emperor (talk) 08:03, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Notification
Hey there, you left a message on my page about an image I put up and if I don't a bunch of stuff until Friday, I'll get temporary banned. I was hoping you could help me here. Could I just delete the image?" ElecmansMinion (talk) 08:48, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Images
Okay, for images I did try following the instructions though, what was it that I did wrong just out of curiosity? The Silver wings of Night (talk) 18:43, December 14, 2015 (UTC)SilverFlight

Two Canons
I think I found a more efficient way to categorize articles, you see, the tabs for info article sections that apply to certain canon don't show up on Wikia Moblie. As such I was wondering if we could utilize tabs the way Wookiepedia does it. They are also dealing with two separate canons for Star Wars except it applies to entire articles. To give you an idea, here's an article from Wookiepedia to show what I'm talking about: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends for Archie we could have this:

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog/Pre-SGW

Just an idea. TheAwesomeHyperon (talk) 20:23, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry to intrude, but you can do this with the Parent Tab Template. I made a proposal for you guys to do it. I can show you how to use it, if you want. ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  03:33, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay. So basically, as I explained in the proposal I made in the forums here, the Parent Tab Template can be used to divide the information Pre-Super Genesis Wave and the information Post-Super Genesis Wave, while still linking the pages together like the Star Wars Wiki does. An example of that usage can be seen here, on the wiki I work on (it's a wiki that documents the Dragon Ball series, but presents it differently than the current Dragon Ball Wiki). Since you're an administrator here, if you let me (or if you and others can agree in the forum I made), I can import the Parent Tab Template here and test that usage on the Sonic the Hedgehog page. :) ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  21:27, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay. I will import the template here, and show you how it looks like and what to do. And yes, yes it does treat them as two separate articles, and links them together with the tab, like it does on the wiki I work on and the Star Wars Wiki. ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  01:56, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * This and this is how it looks like (btw, I would recommend not using level one headings, i.e., in articles, as those are used for the titles of pages; I replaced them with level three headings, i.e.  ).
 * EDIT: You may also want to enable your wiki's javascript (which you can do by using Special:Contact/general to ask staff to enable it) so you can insert this code to make the breadcrumb disappear on pages that use the Parent Tab Template:

/* Hide the breadcrum on pages using Parent Tab */ if($(".parenttab").length) { $("#contentSub, .header-column.header-title > h2").hide; }
 * ★ WindStar7125  Talk    Contribs  05:30, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

Heh-heh. It's not that simple. ^^ But okay. Let's take this step by step (it's comprehensive): Though, to make things easier, I can do Steps 1 and 2 for you (for some pages though, so you know how it's done :P). Step 3 I cannot do, since I'm not an admin here and therefore can't edit MediaWiki pages here. Also as a side note, I think it would be better to get your community to agree to do this also. But yeah, that's it. If you need help, you know where to find me. :) ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  03:27, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * "Maybe you can take the Sonic article and do the first two steps to show me."
 * Will do so. And apply it to other articles too.
 * "I'm curious, by separating one article into two articles, does that mean that each individual article can be accessed, or will all links be redirected to the newer combined one?"
 * Yes, each individual article will be accessed, and the links will remain the same, they won't be redirected at all. And there is no "newer combined one". The articles are split in two, and are linked together with the Parent Tab Template.
 * "I fear things can get very unorganized. For example, the article for Zetsu on the Naruto wiki seems to be two different articles, and each one can be accessed separately as White Zetsu and Black Zetsu. I fear that something like this could get complicated if links on other pages send people to only one of the two articles that should be the combined one."
 * That article on Narutopedia takes two separate articles, and uses the  tags to join them together in a third article, which is completely different than what I proposed with the Parent Tab template by creating three articles for each subject, which I will not be doing. The two split pages won't be combined, they're simply linked together with the Parent Tab template, similar to what the Star Wars Wiki does (even though they use a different but similar method that does not use the Parent Tab template). I hope things will be clearer once I demonstrate how to use the Parent Tab.  ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  17:53, February 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Take a look. Also made sure I notified info was moved and not removed. EDIT: Did something a little extra and made the tabs also match the color scheme of the infobox used (default color for tabs is the Mobius infobox color scheme; Also, would you want "Post-SGW" or "Current"?; and can you delete these two pages too? They're no longer needed). Okay. I've shown you what they look like. If you do not like the overall results, I will revert my edits and the pages can be deleted. If you need any more help, just ask. :) Thanks for your time. ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  19:17, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't expect that. Seems everyone's okay with it then. And I made it easy. If you simply create the /Pre-SGW article, the tabs should appear on their own (if the page has an infobox). For instance, simply create the page Metal Sonic/Pre-SGW as a stub. Then the tabs will appear, if the both pages (Metal Sonic and the /Pre-SGW subpage) have an infobox. ★ WindStar7125  Talk    Contribs  02:31, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

request
Hi again! I really like the Archie Sonic comic series and I really want to help out more on this wikia. Is it possible you could add me to the "content moderator" group? It would allow me to help with maintenance around here, such as deleting pages and other ways of general cleanup (I'm not asking to be an admin, but a content moderator like this). There's a certain situation in which I sent confusing instructions to another admin here, and I think it's best if I can fix my own mess with the content moderator privileges. EDIT: We made it work out. :P While I would still like the content moderator privileges, if I can't get them, then I understand. Thank you for your time! 01:22, March 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! I appreciate it and hope I won't let you down! :D 18:46, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * "I would like to take part in helping out with that, and I would also like to rename the split articles as 'Current Timeline' and 'Pre-Super Genesis Wave Timeline', or perhaps something else. I don't think the tabs for the articles need acronyms like Pre-SGW."
 * Ah, you do? Well, there's a lot of Pre-SGW articles already, so it will be a lot of work, but I'll change it as you wish :D Though first, can we all (me, you, TheFatPanda, Wikification, LogiTeeka, etc) talk it out in the forum first as to which names we want to use? Just so we can all be on the same page.
 * "Now, please explain as simple as possible how you do all the article splitting haha."
 * I hope I can explain it in a simple manner (and if I can't I apologize ^^). For instance, look here at this edit. Notice how I'm removing all information directly in between " " and " ", since that's all of the information of the "Pre-Super Genesis Wave" timeline. With some other cleaning up (like removing the stray " " in the article), that's how to make the articles in the "Current" timeline. You got all that? If you do, I'll explain how I made Shadow the Hedgehog/Pre-SGW and others next. 19:03, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * In regards to the forum: Sorry for not replying as soon as I could. Real life has me a bit distracted, lol. I responded to the forum, just to let you know. 19:04, April 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay. So to create the Pre-SGW pages, first create one based on a pre-existing article (i.e. for Metal Sonic, create Metal Sonic/Pre-SGW). Then, copy all of the information from the original article to the Pre-SGW article. Then, as demonstrated in this edit, remove all information in between " " and " ", since that's all of the information of the "Post-Super Genesis Wave" timeline. With some other cleaning up (like removing the stray " " in the article), that's how to make the articles in the timeline before the SGW. You got all that? 19:20, April 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean like this and this? And I also responded to the forum. 02:55, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * The Parent Tab Template does not merge two pages together. It simply creates tabs that make two (or more) pages accessible from one page. The idea of doing so originates from the One Piece Wiki and the Star Wars Wiki, as far as I know. And I also responded to the forum again. :) 03:15, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, no, I did not import code from the Star Wars Wiki (they have a more complicated way of separating articles which I assume uses coding in JavaScript and/or CSS). The One Piece Wiki created their own tab system of separating articles, and I simply copied from them and altered it a bit. 03:33, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Also, just to ask, but is it okay if I activate the new forums and chat here? The only reason I'm asking is because the wiki seems... not too active on a daily basis (considering we get less than 250 edits a day). Basically, both features allow users to casually discuss the Archie Sonic Comics on this wiki, and perhaps the new forums and chatroom could attract some editors here (though, I'm certainly not guaranteeing it will, as more activity may not come either, but it's just an idea that came to my head). 03:54, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Though, I will try out the new forum feature after our discussion in the old forum is finished. 04:24, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
