Licensing
I'd just like to thank you for creating the first of our licensing templates. I'll be implementing MediaWiki's official licensing selection for uploads soon, and your contribution is really a great start. Thanks again! -- Ja ke  23:09, 2 December 2010 (EST)
 * Sure, no problem. ~Super Hamster  Talk 23:12, 2 December 2010 (EST)

Capitalization
It appears that I was too quick to correct the capitilization of some pages. For some reason it appears that the current standard has all words besides the first without a capital. While I understand that in game items are typically spelled in all lower-case lettering, I do not believe it correct to have page titles with lower-case words. Could you please rationalize this decision for me? (I think it looks terrible and sloppy, but that's just me.)--Dvorakelt 22:14, 7 February 2012 (EST)
 * It basically comes down to being grammatically correct (not very exciting reasoning, I know). No way is really better and both are justifiable; our system of lower-casing titles is just the way the standard has developed. Wikipedia has similar standards in titling their own articles. Here is a little discussion from last year where we discussed and decided on capitalization conventions for fish and insect articles. ~Super Hamster  Talk 22:25, 7 February 2012 (EST)
 * I checked and it appears that Wikipedia does the same thing. I suppose it is just me then. Thanks! Sorry for any inconvenience I caused in my hastiness... --Dvorakelt 22:38, 7 February 2012 (EST)
 * Nah, it's not just you, I can see the argument that capitalizing all words could look better. It's a title after all. No worries though, that's the beauty of a wiki ;) ~Super [[User:SuperHamster|Hamster ]] Talk 22:41, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Friend Code
What is your Friend Code?Pokemon9
 * Hey, sorry, I haven't played Animal Crossing in a long while. Check out the Bulletin Board though for some people who may be interested :) ~Super Hamster  Talk 02:49, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Hey SuperHamster thanks for correcting me on villagers and characters it's appericiated thanks

Adding Bugs
Hi, I don't know if this is the proper procedure, but I've been going around the wiki fixing up things, and I noticed that the Rainbow Stag isn't even listed as a bug. There is no connection between the Rainbow Stag Article and the insect category page. Can you add the connection? I don't seem like I have that power...--BellBank 21:26, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 * 'Ello - I went ahead and added the article to Category:Insect. Thanks a lot for pointing that out. In the future, note that you do have the power to add articles to categories :) Simply add the category you want to the bottom of the page, with the "Category:" prefix and double brackets, like this:

Featured image template
Hello, can you change Template:Main_Page/Featured_Image to say Shizue instead of Shizu? Zharkaer 21:45, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 * Done, thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for all your contributions so far! ~Super Hamster  Talk 00:38, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

Rename
Hello,

Nice to meet you! I'm, Sdgsgfs an user in this wiki. Well, I'm not really new to editing nor the Animal Crossing City (was shocked about the moving thing, but was a good idea actually). I want to rename myself, since the name is kinda not professional, so can you please, rename me to "Wolfgang"?

Thank you, Sdgsgfs 13:27, 11 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Done, you've been renamed to Wolfgang :) Thanks for your contributions so far, keep up the great work! ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 16:34, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Hello
Hello,

Nice to meet you! I'm, Wolfgang an admin and bureaucrat in Club Penguin Wiki. I have recently moved from Wikia, I'm not new to Nookipedia. But I noticed many admins and lead editors are inactive, you must consider demoting inactive users that are inactive since 2010 and promoting active ones. Sorry if I'm interfering, but I want the best for here.

Thank you, Wolfgang 12:36, 14 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Hey again. Thanks for the concern. We're currently in the slow process of doing that - we're just about to promote a fairly new, yet active and experienced user to adminship. However, it does take a bit of time for users to become experienced enough with editing this wiki, and for us to determine who is fit to be a staff member. Right now the majority of active users here are doing a great job editing, but still need a bit more time and experience before they're ready to become part of the staff. Moving too quickly to promote active users would be a bad idea if the users are unprepared and inexperienced, but as soon as I and other staff members feel a user is ready to be promoted, they will be. If you'd like some tips regarding what you can do yourself to show that you are prepared for becoming a staff member, let me know. Thanks again. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 12:51, 14 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I completely agree with Wolfgang, sorry for barging in. As such, I'm a lot more used to an active staff on Zelda Wiki, this makes me more comfortable while editing because I know most of my mistakes can be fixed. I think we really do need to start going through a slow-but steady process of demoting and promoting... As such, I understand how hard it is to get promoted.. I'm one of the more general active and effiecent users on Zelda Wiki and I'm still an autocomfirmed. It comes down to the overall quality of your edits, not quanity. Making 5000 edits that aren't good, won't get you promoted. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx 18:31, 14 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Definitely correct, as much as we need an active and experienced staff though, we need an active user base to promote in the first place. In the next few weeks I think we could see a few promotions, though :) Thanks for the input guys, it's appreciated. Me and the few other staff will keep an eye out for when we think any editors have shown the knowledge and skill to become part of the staff. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 00:27, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
 * I'm joining in this conversation too. :P Although I'm not as active as I used to be, I believe that is due to a lack buzz surrounding Animal Crossing. With the lack of info recently, I'm not surprised some of the staff here have decided to jump ship. The reason that not a lot has been done with the staff recently is because with the number that are inactive, removing all of them would make us a very bare-bones wiki. I'm also involved on the forums on promoting users as I believe that when the flood of info comes out (late this year) the tools need to be in the hands of the people who are using them and not the people who used to use them.

Hello
Hello,

I forget to add licenses ;D. I'm totally sorry for that, I'll make sure to add from now on.

Thank you, Wolfgang 09:04, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Heh, no problem. Thanks for all the awesome image uploads, they really help. Keep up the great work :) ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 15:16, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Hello again
Hello,

SuperHamster I want to ask you (I usually ask in any wiki I join). How's my progress here? Am I helping out here in a good way? Are my edits done neatly? Any advice you wanna give me to improve myself?

Sorry for many questions, but I do ask that to make sure I do things right :).

Thank you, Wolfgang 16:58, 21 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm not SuperHamster, but I have known a lot of great editors throughout NIWA and you're doing a great job, especially with the image uploads. I have a question are you familar with transparency of images (aka taking out the backround of the object you captured? --XXSuperXXNintendoXx 17:17, 21 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm an admin and bureaucrat in Club Penguin Wiki, and ya of course I know how to make transparent images. I have a good experience in images side and articles. ;) Wolfgang 19:39, 21 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Agreed with XXSuperXXNintendoXx, you've been doing great work, especially with your image uploads - they've been making a huge improvement to the wiki, so thanks for that :) Just some tips regarding editing, you can always use the "preview" function before saving edits to make sure everything works out fine (no red links, no format errors, etc.). Also, any time you want to link to Animal Crossing game articles, such as or, you should use the link templates. For example, putting    into an article will produce . Other then that, keep up the great work! You can always work on expanding articles if you wish to move on to other things. Maybe we'll see a promotion sometime in the future ;) ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 22:45, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

Hello again
Hello,

It's me Wolfgang, you can notice I didn't edit much recently the reason is I travelled to Kuwait and gonna be back in 2 days, so please don't thing left this wiki :).

Thank you, Wolfgang 01:35, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

School
Hello, I just wanted to inform you of the reason as of why I can' get on as much as I used to. I have school and have had this cold for a few weeks now. However, I'm mostly settled in and will try to patrol the majority of a week's edits and contributions... unless I'm busy with schoolwork or with friends and such :). Also, I wondered how my progress as a patroller is so far. This is new to me and I wondered if I was doing it correctly, thanks! --XXSuperXXNintendoXx 23:52, 10 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Not a problem - hope you feel better with that cold :) I think everyone has one, now that school has started back up...
 * Anyway, you seem to be doing just fine. Patrolling edits that are appropriate for the wiki, and reverting any that aren't is the right way to go. Thanks for the work so far! ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 23:55, 10 September 2012 (EDT)

User Name
Is it just me or does my user name come up as "Mlnintendo97"? If it does, can you please change it to "mlnintendo97", I has been kinda bugging me lately and I have wondered if the wiki just does that. Thanks! mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 00:45, 29 September 2012 (EDT)
 * The way the wiki is set up, all usernames have their first letter automatically capitalized. Sorry! ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 12:18, 29 September 2012 (EDT)

Oh, that clears up things. Thanks for the help!!!! (P.S: I don't know if you noticed, but when you go to make or reply to, even post a status on the Bulletin Boards, it is giving members a server error, I have tried to notify Jake, but he isn't responding. I used his e-mail by the way. mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 01:46, 30 September 2012 (EDT)
 * I did notice that happening to me on certain boards, looks like it's happening to the entire forum too, then...which also explains why we haven't got back to you on your staff request yet. Sorry about that! I'll see if I can figure anything out, but Jake is in charge and has the know-how of the mechanics of the site, so hopefully he'll respond soon. Thanks for bringing that up. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 11:12, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

No Problem!!!! :D mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 18:05, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

Birthday Question
Is it ok if I can add my birthday to the June 15th Page or does that conflict with Wiki Policy?
 * Those birthday pages are only for villager birthdays in Animal Crossing. Birthdays can and will be celebrated on the forums, though :) ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 13:46, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Ok, I just wanted to make sure it is ok before I edit myself in there, thanks!!! mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 18:54, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Help
Sorry for how much I have been bugging you on here, but I have a HUGE problem on my userpage. I was trying to add a wikitable around my userboxes and I wanted them to go vertical, but it came out as horizontal. I was planning on doing this with all of my userboxes and putting them into categories (ex: All Animal Crossing userboxes in one wikitable, Nookipedia related userboxes in another.) Can you help me out with this and fix it? You can post the proper code here for me so I can learn from this MAJOR mistake if you want. Thanks! mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 23:58, 5 October 2012 (EDT)


 * Hey, no problem, glad to help! I went ahead and fixed up your Animal Crossing userboxes if that's all right. Hopefully I did what you wanted? Here's a quick run-down of how I made a vertices set of tables. Basically, starting a "|-" creates a new line, while "|" creates a new cell on that line. The following code would produce a table with three vertical cells.


 * Now, say you wanted a table with three rows, and two columns. Here is how you would do that:


 * Hopefully this made a bit of sense. Give it a try with your other userboxes? If you need any more help, just holler :) Wikipedia also has some nice examples of tables here. Also remember to sign your posts on talk pages ;) ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 23:17, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

I kinda wanted a wikitable with an outline on it, but I guess it will work for now, and thanks with helping me out with it. I almost forgot to ask! With the Bulletin Boards down and all due to server errors, what was the staff's decision to my request of becoming a staff member? You can send what they thought over to my e-mail at. mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 00:06, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
 * Ohh, if you want a border, try replacing the first line of the table I gave you with this:
 * Hopefully that fits what you want. As for your request, the staff never actually got a chance to discuss it, since the boards have been down and that's our main method of communication, sorry about that! I will shoot you a quick email though about it :) (I've also removed your email from the page, to protect against potential spambots). Thanks, ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 00:57, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Thanks for removing my e-mail, I never would of thought of that! I just read your e-mail, my response is on it's way! Thanks again for the help on the wikitable! :D mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 02:24, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

I am sorry for how much I keep on asking for help on this darn wikitable, but I am trying to get my Userboxes About Me at the top along with my Animal Crossing Userboxes. I have tried Wikipedia's way, but it doesn't seem to be working. mlnintendo97 was here!!!! 02:24, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
 * No problem at all :) How about trying to make another table to store each set of userboxes in? Make a table with 1 row and 2 columns, and put your Animal Crossing userboxes in one cell, and your About Me userboxes in another. Give that a shot, and if you need help, let me know. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 11:49, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
