Comments - January Hello, @Liath. I was wondering...for all your fantastic pages, where do you find the border trims? They are very neat! -- @leroyswish (Talk 15:48, 18 January 2014 (MST) Replied 16:51, 18 January 2014 (MST) Hi Liath - Thank you that looks great. I am not sure how to use the talk page, hoping this is right. I posted this first on my talk page and then thought I should post it here. I have a Newbie question could you explain the overlay you mentioned. I have seen some great pages including yours and was wondering how you did the background on Kid_Steel ~~ @American_Valor (Talk) Replied 23:07, 24 January 2014 (MST) Hey @Liath. Thanks for helping the background on my page! I'll be sure to toy with the opacity until I find the right "See Through" effect. Thanks again! --@Hope1 (Talk 2:47 PM, 29 January 2014 (EST) Hey @Liath. Thanks for the new code idea. I really think it will bring the page together much more. --@FolderNom (Talk 2:47 PM, 29 January 2014 (EST) I knew I was missing something, Liath. Thank you very much for telling Leroyswish what I couldn't piece together last night. Wasn't feeling well, couldn't think of Wikicode. Destructor (talk) 08:20, 30 January 2014 (MST)		Comments - February I did actually see your suggestion, and thought I replied to it-- that's what I get for all the distractions I have to contend with. While I'm in agreement that PotM winners could be further marked in some way (or the mainpage to be spruced up a bit)... I don't think a comic cover would do it. It's too large and would throw off the nearly square (as I see it) layout we have going. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 23:18, 21 February 2014 (MST)
Comments - March Hello, Liath. For my new characters, I was wondering...may I use your template? Or at least one or two components of it? Leroy's Wish (talk) 11:00, 4 March 2014 (MST) Replied 16:42, 4 March 2014 (MST) Great work on all the pages lately, Liath :) You've been cleaning up! - --FrozenViolet (talk) 13:09, 18 March 2014 (MST) Nice page, Liath, but wouldn't character technically be named "The Spider". Not to be a dork or anything but "The Bug" doesn't really fit for a character that categorized under the Spider category if a "bug" is technically a 6-legged insect and a Spider is an 8-legged arachnid along with mites, scorpions etc. Not to be a dork, just sayin' - webclim5er45 Re The Bug - havent gotten to that point in writing out the story yet, but his sister Scarab always called him Bug cos he bugged the shizz out of her. the original name he took was Na'ashje'ii ( Navajo for Spider) but the Category Spider does not mean the character has to have a spider name, only that there are Spider influences in his story. Liath (talk) 16:26, 22 March 2014 (MST) Ahh, Loopholes. Nice one. carry on then :P - @webclim5er45 7:39 pm, 22 March 2014 (EST) Thanks :) I also noticed that the Fwine English and Fwine v2 seem to use these flags with the format you specified, so it is very helpful! Thanks for the idea of putting these in. --FrozenViolet (talk) 14:13, 26 March 2014 (MST)

In response to that little add on Wheelman's page: I quite approve. Was already thinking about actually linking music at some point. I'll get to adding this to my other pages later. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 09:38, 2 April 2014 (MST)

Have you thought of adding your LiathMetalBox as a template for people to use yet (as a link under the templates area)? It's very well done and would fit well there! :) Δ--FrozenViolet (talk) 08:26, 4 April 2014 (MST)

Hey, hoping to have two of my pages wiped off of PDB. Pages are Stopmotion and Elasticator. Thank you - Cucho5000

Remove Bugged Files

Problem solved on the uploaded file issue - thankfully it can be fixed (very) manually where you don't need to see the old file in order to fix it. I've put in a warning in on the Upload File page, and I'm going to place a comment into my own Talk page showing how to fix it. But here's how to do it: http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=FILENAME.HERE&wpForReUpload=1 See where it says FILENAME.HERE? Replace all of that with the bugged image and when you do upload a new file, check Ignore any Warnings at the bottom - it should work. Did so for me at least. Thanks for letting me know. Destructor (talk) 14:49, 6 March 2014 (MST)

Hi Liath. I was wondering if you might have any ideas on fixing the Pages with Broken links category? Right now, it shows some that have no broken links. I've noticed that if I go in and manually save the page that it disappears from this list. Something still seems off on this though. --FrozenViolet (talk) 08:26, 21 March 2014 (MST)

Great find, Liath! Thanks! I hope we can get that fixed then. --FrozenViolet (talk) 09:03, 21 March 2014 (MST)

Thanks again for helping fix the formatting issues on that page and explaining a way to check for it. :) --FrozenViolet (talk) 06:19, 1 April 2014 (MST)

The current Page of the Month special rules may need to be more obviously pointed out, people don't seem to be getting the "An article only needs one vote to be counted as a nomination. If a page is already spoken for, then you must choose another." thing. --Edvyn (talk) 19:25, 8 April 2014 (MST)

I'm confused as to what you messaged me, honestly. Magic Girl has two votes on that page, from both Mentella and Epelesker. I was just pointing that out, that is all. Leroy's Wish (talk) 08:55, 11 April 2014 (MST)

Edit: I apologize, I noticed that Epelesker has changed his vote.

You really need to stop deleting my files. Just because they are unused at the moment, doesn't mean I don't have use for them. Vitality (talk) 17:11, 21 April 2014 (MST) replied -- Liath (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2014 (MST)

Hi Liath. I've noticed that the CORP category seems to be added as default to almost all pages. Is this something in the base code? We should probably change this to Work In Progress. Not everyone who makes a page here should have to have CORP as s default category. I'm not sure where this is located at. --FrozenViolet (talk) 07:46, 23 April 2014 (MST)

Figured it out. Basically any Categories included in a template are transferred to the character. You may wish to check these on some of the publictemplates (I think your own LiathMetalBox has @Liath, which might apply @Liath to someone's page)
