...A while ago, you uploaded concept art of Laser Ball (File:Laserball.jpg). Can you tell me which game it's for?--Mr. Snake 00:54, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
Nightmare in Dreamland. :) BNK [E|T|C] 00:55, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
Blue Ninjakoopa, can you please check your NIWA forums PMs? --GameFreakWOOOOSH!
Sorry I've been away. :$ School and applying for colleges really take up my time during the weekdays. BNK [E|T|C] 20:34, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree about the Yin-Yarn one, but the others were really poor. I mean, if we let this continue, this site will be full of pointless and short articles, so I am doing what you call "enforcing". However, I see where you're coming at. --GameFreakWOOOOSH!
We need set guidelines. Anyone can make an article about a villian named Xtram that appears in a Kirby game being released that just says "Xtram is a boss in game X". That is not needed or wanted.--MegaTron1XD 22:37, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
Hey, man! How's it going? It's me, Marx Devil. Look, I wanna thank you for bringing me back, but I also wanna tell you I'm sorry for calling you a f*ggot. I was just mad because of what you called me. I just wanna be friends. Truce?
Yo, BNK, could you and/or some of the other admins check out the Superstar Arena Talk page? There are four ideas for matches there that haven't even been touched for quite a while. Also, could you all wrap up the current match? We all know Mega Titan is going to win now. Thanks! MachTornadoKnow my POWER! 16:47, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
hi do you want to talk to me about makeing a new page? Dr.Eggman rox 2
This person clearly has nothing to contribute other than mayhem and idiocy. So I think we should nip it in the bud before anything else happens. Oh and its good to be back. ;) Marx Wraith 03:02, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
I'm very curious: how did you figure the statistics for all the air ride machines? How did you come to those exact numbers? Thanks. --97.104.21.135 15:55, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
I made them up, but it was based on how they perform. It took a while to come up with the numbers. These stats can be removed and replaced with stars for more accuracy, however. BNK [E|T|C] 01:48, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
I left this message with Starman, but I felt it was necessary to bring it to your attention too. I recieved an erroneous message from a user Dialgaofpower, claiming that I have been "destroying wikis" and will "block me" if I mess up one more page. This claim wrong and baseless, (you can see my history of edits as proof that I only help). In addition, I see that he does not even have rights to ban or block me since he is only a regular user. I can't tell if he is just trolling, or just being a nuisance (possibly both), so if you could look into this or maybe have some sort of redaction for his actions it would be greatly appreciated. I'll leave the said message on my talk page for one week before deleting it so you can look over it if need be. 0verlord Gouki 23:48, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
I will talk to him. BNK [E|T|C] 01:48, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
Hello. I'm glad you like the site layout; I wasn't sure how such a big change would be reflected by the community, but so far it's been quite good :) .There some documentation about the Oasis / Monobook overhaul while you were away here. A lot of the other changes are on templates and have documentation on their own pages, but there's so many, I don't think they can be listed here, but most of them are related to these.
Thanks for suggesting nomination for adminship. I was working on a lot of the templates and site-skin-related pages a few months ago, and since there wasn't really much activity back then to vote and do things the conventional way, I just approached bureaucrat-admin Starman125, who kindly granted me the adminship. I requested it mainly because I needed to work on Mediawiki pages and use the theme designer to bypass a few quirks about the oasis skin so low-contrast font doesn't violate the ToU from Wikia for IE8/9 users, so I thought that course of action was OK.
About the merger, I got wind of it from old talk pages and the projects page, and when I was tinkering with sprucing up the Monobook skin a bit and I saw that announcement banner up top. MtaA removed it after a few weeks though. You've probably heard already, but Axiomist passed away some time ago and an admin by the name of Vellidragon is running WiKirby at NIWA now.
I appreciate all of that, every change you've made affects the Wiki positively. And thanks for the welcome back, it feels good to be here... by the way, looks like it's just us. All the other admins seem to be inactive. BNK [E|T|C] 05:40, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
Admins Gamefreak, Starman and Timson still log in and patrol according to the logs [1]. The main concern is that we're kind of short on anon or registered contributors although there's a few who do make quality edits at least once a week. While my focus is on the inner workings of the site and templates, I've noticed that certain high-access pages' qualities aren't quite up to par with the others, especially some of the games pages like Kirby Super Star Ultra. Thing is, I don't really have the time to rewrite them myself, as the overhaul of Kirby's article took like 2 days by itself, finding references and making sure the information is correct, and we're still missing the bulk of Epic Yarn levels as well as anime synopses because certain episodes are difficult to find. Other than that I think the wiki is in pretty good shape information-wise compared to say, WiKirby in its current state that neoseeker one which has been perma edit-locked last time I checked, or even certain parts of KRR or Kirbypedia. It's finding the manpower to get those articles written down whilst upholding quality standards and getting proper referencing done that's hard.
I see, I see. Well, I haven't played KSSU in a minute and am not even 100% done, I have KEY but my sister mainly plays it. I understand references can be hard, especially for games such as these; sometimes, even a strategy guide works as a good reference, as seen at Arwingpedia. BNK [E|T|C] 23:04, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
Chat isn't available in Monobook according to Wikia central. What you can do is add "?useskin=Wikia" at the end of the address bar to manually switch to Oasis every time you want to use chat if you prefer browsing using Monobook. The full address bar to access chat from Monobook is http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat?useskin=Wikia. The chatroom is usually empty, unfortunately, because of our relatively small userbase, but you should be able to see your own avatar, and a star next to it signifying admin/chat admin status when you're in chat.
If you wish to toggle skin preferences, head to Special:Preferences, under the user profile tab, under the site layout box (beneath where you set your signature). "New Wikia Look" means Oasis, and there's a Monobook option too, but no Monaco.
About chat, yeah I do use it sometimes, but it's generally so empty it's not much point being in the room most of the time since we have a very small userbase. I'm in there for now if there's anything to talk about, and if the disconnect issues don't spring up.
Thanks for telling me how to link my profile to pages. Sorry I didn't do it before (I tried, but i didn't know the advice you gave me), but I'll do it starting now. Do you possibly know how I can get a small image and other text to be added to it? Changtau2005, Starman, and Gamefreak all have it, and I'd like to make that kind of signature too. Thanks for your time! NerdyBoutKirby 23:25, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
A user known as Wholesalepolo created pages on here that have nothing to do with Kirby! Blue Ninjakoopa could you remind him of the rules here? WaterKirby1994 05:08, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I would like to know how this website looks so much advanced such as the texture, width, style and everything. It would be alot of help!--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 14:53, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
Why is your profile a blue ninjakoopa? I thought people could only use Kirby pics! Actually I am pretty sure you CAN do that since you are an admin. Sparker03 14:46, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
You can use whatever you want for your avatar. BNK [E|T|C] 21:02, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
hi. i read the rules for your talk page, and i have a non-kirby related topic. i am trying to get more signatures for a petition fo bringing back geno, but i dont know where to say it i dont have an account, and currently cannot get one, so i cant go into the chat thingy. i would suggest it at mario.wikia.com, but i dont know how to. could you tell me where to put it? -SkyraPuff812
Keep that on the Mario Wiki, ask around there, maybe they allow forum-petitioning. BNK [E|T|C] 00:37, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
Very late, but I felt it necessary to mention.Edit
Just so you know, I have taken the quality of Changtau's edits and his behavior into consideration before promoting him. I didn't just pay attention to the quantity of his edits, as you've suggested.--Starman125talk|blog
Hi, I'm YellowMage, founder of the Wiki of Mana. If you could, would you mind telling me how this wiki got its (rather excellent) backdrop, so that I'll know how to add one to mine? YellowMage 23:34, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
Sup Blue! Haven't seen you in ages, what's new? Nice to see you back here. And about Pix, I think octahedron sounds a bit better than a double-edged pyramid. Double-edged pyramid seems pretty vague imo and I wasn't sure what it meant at first, haha. Octahedron is the correct term and has less- awkward phrasing. And the capitalization is a mistake on my part. I had to copy'paste it to get the correct spelling. xP See you around! EmptyStar (talk) 03:47, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
You're right, sorry, I had thought an octahedron looked different from two pyramids with their bases connected lol. I've changed it back to octahedron. And it's me who should welcome you back, you were gone for about a year! I hadn't seen an edit from you when I was infrequently patrolling the wiki, but it's good to have you back. BNK [E|T|C] 08:38, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
Hi! I've got a wiki of my own, and I wanted to know how you got the main page to be so amazing. How did you make the chars like that? How did you get it organized so amazingly?
