[edit] With your folks

Tcrow777: TALK - 07:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Hope you are having a great time! Enjoy your wikibreak! Teklogs

[edit] Wiki Support Group

Great idea, i fully support the wiki support group :-) If you want any help with it, feel free to ask —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anarchyuk (talk • contribs) .

ok under the new contributions section I wanted to include, the date the collaborations started, and one sentence to say what the two wikis do, If you could do that it would be great.

[edit] CAN template

Philralph: TALK - 09:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, looks good. I don't really understand 'the content variable does tables' bit, and wonder what happens about a border? Is that something to do with the style variable? Not quite sure what you mean by CAN card profile but will take a look when you've an example. I've been trying to redesign a Help:CAN page here and hopefully will get round to doing more on this soon

Drawde83: TALK - Drawde83 18:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC) hopefully I've cleared all that up. If a table is used in the content variable the card doesn't work. So the only way to use tables is to create a template with the table in it and then include the template. a border can be created using the style variable but you can just leave it out and use a table for the border instead.

Philralph: TALK - 08:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, it'd be good to have an invite template, but might be easiest after I've rewritten the explanation. Feel free to edit any of the other stuff in the draft. Yes, a sort of 'CAN help' group you mean? This leads on to the idea of a WikiSocial groups listing for user pages, (based on what links to a user's CANcard template) for example see my user page. I know this sort of duplicates what some of the categories do, but is perhaps more user friendly and similar to stuff on other social networking sites.

Drawde83: TALK - 10:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Yep that looks like a good idea. as for duplication, I think it will be a matter of personal preference how to display those relationships. It's easy to create a category but creating a Card is much nicer. yeah I think a "CAN help group" would be helpful. At the moment there's no clear place to ask questions, It could also link to other CAN resources.

[edit] Old Main Page

Tcrow777: TALK - 10:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC) The new Main Page is nice, but I think you may have accidentally deleted the old page history, this is important for historical purposes and I wanted to see the the old one (for historical purposes), since I am not a sysop I cannot view the old versions. Teklogs

Philralph: TALK - 16:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Some history here Like the new main page also, but prefer to see number of articles, so put back

Drawde83: TALK - 17:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC) The Main page was all contained in this template template:home. I would have waited longer before publishing the new main page but the last one was really quite bare, I'd hate to think what new people would have thought about us after seeing that.

[edit] New Logo

I'll change it to just a gradient background if you'd Like. I just wanted to replace the old horrid one because the white edges looked terrible. WillSWC 06:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

yep thats a good idea. We'll be having a bit of a discussion about the style and layout of things so it'd be great to have you involved in that--Drawde83 08:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contribution to the Code Wiki

Thanks for your contributions and participation in the Programmer's Wiki for so long. It's slowly gaining momentum over time, thanks largely in part to you. Bitfreedom 23:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

well I'm doing some more Comp sci Papers at uni so I should b able to come up with a few more articles :-) BTW feel free to contribute to our Computing page.

[edit] Avatar

Woops, sorry! looks like I may have just removed your avatar by mistake. I was trying to remove the multiple avatars that I seem to have created on our respective profiles. (I had pressed accept to invite and when nothing appeared to happen. I pressed again twice.) Hopefully its relatively easy for you to reinstate? Philralph 17:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that I've fixed everything, but it's taking a while to filter through. You only appear once now :-) hmm might have to bring up that you can friend someone multiple times and other ppl can edit your avatar. --Drawde83 20:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: hey

Tcrow777: TALK - 76.183.208.186 02:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC) I was very busy volunteering, applying for volunteer positions and researching several business ideas. I am very behind on everything right now so I am still very busy. Teklogs

[edit] Revert to old style?

Last time I looked there is now a consensus in favour of the old style. Wonder if you'd be willing to help us get back to it? Philralph @sca21 07:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

hey, I'll get back to you with a reply, it's late here --Drawde83 11:42, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I've been away from the computer or a bit otherwise I would have replied sooner. If we can form a bit of a group thats interested in working on this wiki or maybea niche that we can fill then I would be willing to help out. At the moment there's a lot of work going on at the metal gear wiki so If it's just going to be me toiling away for very little result, then I'm not really interested. Maybe it would be best if another group took over and started it all afresh. --Drawde83 06:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd be happy to contribute now and then if it were black on white text, but don't feel confident enough to attempt to get back to this myself. I'll ask someone on the community team if they can help or have any suggestions, Philralph @sca21 08:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've replied on the forum -- sannse (talk) 10:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RSS

That recent changes rss feed you are adding to pages is really interesting, could you direct me to some documentation on how to use it? Anarchyuk ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 11:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

sure it's here, I had wondered about making it into a template but it's pretty simple as it is --Drawde83 21:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, thats pretty smart and I can think of a few uses. Anarchyuk ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 22:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New forums

Great that your back! I have been doing much on here recently, been a bit busy. Good job setting up the new forums, I will have to get around to creating my own introduction soon. Anarchyuk ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 18:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Officially the stupidest thing I've ever done

Umm, during one of my trigger happy block phases, I appear to have accidentally blocked myself over at the Metal Gear Wiki. Pretty embarrassing, huh? Any chance you could pop over and unblock me? --Fantomas 00:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Thats so odd, you'd think they'd stop you from blocking yourself --Drawde83 00:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
