Hi
Could you rename me to "Baby Luigi"? I lost my password...and my sis already told you about it. Please?
 * Done. Be sure to enter an email into your preferences, in case you do forget your password again :) ~Super Hamster  Talk 17:02, July 27, 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks. Oh I'm way ahead of you: I made sure I have a valid email and confirmed it :p

Questions about undoing edits
Excuse my newbieness, but is there any difference between undoing an article's most recent edit, editing/saving the penultimate author's edit, and rolling back the edit? I realize that 'undo' will auto-populate the change summary field, is that the only difference? (Haven't tried rollback yet, tbh... does it let you provide a summary?) EDIT: Also, do I still need to mark an edit as patrolled even after I revert it? And (stupid question) should I make sure to patrol all edits that I see that need patrolling? --sunmarsh (talk) 23:02, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * Undo will revert the last edit, while rollback undoes all edits made by the last editor (so potentially several edits). If you undo an edit, you still have to patrol the reverted edit I believe. In regards to patrolling edits you see in need of patrolling, it is swell if you do patrol them, but you do not have to. Hope this helps a little!  SuperAlpaca  (talk ) 23:49, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * Expanding on SA's excellent answer, rolling back an edit is instant, and does not let you provide an edit summary. I typically only use roll backs for obvious vandalism, especially when an editor has made a series of vandalistic edits and I need to quickly revert them all. Otherwise, doing an undo with an edit summary is usually your best bet. Rolling back an edit does mark an edit as patrolled, I believe (unlike undoing, which SA mentioned). ~Super Hamster  Talk 00:34, August 8, 2014 (EDT)
 * Regarding the patrolling, if you do happen to see unpatrolled edits (with the red !) while viewing the recent changes list, it is part of your responsibility as a patroller to check them out and either mark them as patrolled or rollback/undo malicious ones. However, as SA said, you don't have to make it a point to patrol every single edit and you shouldn't go out of your way to look for unpatrolled edits. -- Ja ke  13:32, August 8, 2014 (EDT)

Honoured Member help!!
Hey superhamster, I made 150 legitimate edits to the wiki (not spam, good edits) before 30 days, but it says I am not on the list of Honoured Users. Users. Do you know why?--Marcus (talk) 21:31, October 8, 2014 (EDT)
 * Hey Marcus - I believe that edits to the userspace no longer count towards the Honored Member count, sorry! This was changed a while back to keep the award focused on edits to articles, files, and other wiki content. I'll review the exact conditions with Jake and will update our page on that soon.
 * If you take a look at the bottom of Special:HonoredMembers, if will tell you exactly how many edits you have that count towards becoming an Honored Member, along with how many more you need. ~Super Hamster  Talk 03:23, October 9, 2014 (EDT)

I checked on the page, it didn't say how many more I needed.--Marcus (talk) 07:55, October 9, 2014 (EDT)
 * That's 'cause only staff members (patrollers and administrators) can see the count, sorry! And I know for a fact that edits marked as 'minor' don't count either. Red   Snapper  11:50, October 9, 2014 (EDT)
 * Whoop, thanks Red! But yea, we'll try to get an exact list of the edits that do and do not count towards Honored Member status. ~Super Hamster  Talk 12:48, October 9, 2014 (EDT)

ItemList template questions
Hey there Kevin, I wanted to get some feedback on the ItemList template and ask a few questions. First off, the class "collapsible" that is applied to tables and "mw-collapsible" that is applied to divs to make them collapsible has a few annoying features and I was wondering if it's possible to modify the HTML/CSS code for these classes to fix them? The main issue is with the placement of the 'show'/'hide' buttons. In this table the show/hide button is not vertically centered; is it possible to change the vertical alignment of the button? In this table the button appears awkwardly above the header in the table's first column. This is because the button 'takes up' quite a bit of space before it and essentially 'pushes' the text to the line below it. Is there any way we can change this so that the button doesn't take up so much invisible space to its left? It might also be helpful to add just a bit of padding on the button's right side so it doesn't brush up against the side like it does in the navboxes (e.g. Template:Furniture).

While I'm at it, I also wanted to get your opinion on collapsible item lists in general. Do you think that it's awkward to have the show/hide button in the first column (like this)? Or do you think it's better above the table with a heading (like this)? And do you think [[Media:nia.png|nia.png]] is appropriate to use if we don't have an image of the item on-hand? Or should we just leave the field blank?

Lastly, I wanted to ask again about Nookipedia's YouTube account and what you wanted me to do in the meantime while Jake is (maybe... hopefully... ;P) looking into a solution for the ACGC video files.  ( talk )  17:15, October 18, 2014 (EDT)
 * Hey Sun! I really wish I could have an answer about editing the table HTML/CSS to accomplish what you want, but that's something I don't have experience with for MediaWiki. I'll have to discuss that with Jake - mind starting a discussion on the Bulletin Board between us? I'll send him a ping to join the discussion once done.
 * As for the preferred table, I like the latter a lot better. Having the title and the show/hide button on the right side is simpler and cleaner IMO, but that's my two cents.
 * I'd also support having an image placeholder for missing images, since it looks a bit awkward to have a mix of single- and multiple-line rows.
 * Aaand finally, I've shot Jake a message about the YouTube account. I'll get back to you on that :) Great work on the tables so far, love them! ~Super Hamster  Talk 21:20, October 18, 2014 (EDT)


 * Sorry it's taken so long, I've added you both to a conversation over on the forums about modifying the CSS/HTML code for those classes. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:52, October 27, 2014 (EDT)

Main Page DLC Section Editable?
Hello, Eric Here! (new to Nookipedia, but enjoying it so far!)

Not a huge deal but I created my account to add to the DLC section on the Main Page for November (Scorpion Lamp) but I can't seem to edit that part. If this was deliberate to prevent vandalism I understand. Also I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet but I can of course wait on that. Thanks! This is an incredible reference tool and I use it just about every time I play New Leaf. Keep up the excellent work. (: - unsigned comment from Silentone13 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 23 November 2014‎ (UTC)


 * Hey there Eric - welcome to the wiki, and sorry for the late reply! The DLC template is indeed protected, since it's on the Main Page and is shown to nearly all visitors. I've gone ahead and updated the DLC for December, so thanks for the reminder! In the future, feel free to contact me or another staff member if we forget to update it.
 * As for the confirmation email, be sure to check your spam folder. If it's not there, I do remember a few other instances of editors having problems with confirmation emails, so get back to me if you can't find it and I'll try to see what's going on. Thanks, ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 18:46, November 26, 2014 (EST)


 * Sorry to butt in, but I've been having trouble for months, and yes, I've checked the spam folder on virtually every attempt (didn't User:Technickal have some trouble with this as well?). So I think we may have a 'technickal' (pardon the pun) problem here that could use some fixing. 06:27, November 29, 2014 (EST)
 * Gotcha, thanks for the update - I see we discussed it back in April. I'll get in touch with Jake. Thanks, ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 22:24, November 29, 2014 (EST)

Possible vandalism
Reverted some edits made by Hashir, I believe they may have been an act of vandalism and not a youngster who didn't know better. I don't know if you want to give them a warning or temporary ban, but I thought I would let you know as I wasn't sure what action to take.  ( talk )  12:16, November 30, 2014 (EST)

Question
I have a curious question for you, SuperHamster. Are your edits to file pages with an edit summary of 'Adding and/or correcting licensing information (Game Screenshot)' automated? Red  (talk)   15:24, August 3, 2015 (EDT)
 * Yes, actually! When I first joined Nookipedia, one of the first things I did was tag images with licensing tags. At some point, SuperAlpaca was shocked to find out my tagging wasn't automated, as there were hundreds upon hundreds of images to tag...so I found a script from Wikipedia and brought it here at User:SuperHamster/vector.js. This script adds a button to the left of my username that, when clicked, replaces all the content of the page you are on with the 'game screenshot' licensing tag. If you do ever want to use it or modify it, feel free :) ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 19:58, August 3, 2015 (EDT)

Uploading a replacement image with a different MIME type
I'm trying to replace the current image of Flurry we have on file and the new image is .png while the previous image is .JPG.

What is the best way to deal with this?  ( talk )  16:57, August 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * Hey Sunmarsh - I'd upload the file under a new name (name.png), replace all the .jpg images with the .png, and then delete the .jpg. This is all assuming they're the same image. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 23:12, August 21, 2015 (EDT)

Bulletin Board problems
Hello. I've noticed two small problems on the bulletin boards. The 'Recent Status Updates' box is not functioning correctly for me. It shows out of date status updates (from Nov 4, 2014 to Jan 5, 2015) rather than the actual latest ones. Also, I can't start conversations, hence why I'm posting these issues here.

Do you know what is wrong? Red  (snappity snap snap!)   11:04, September 13, 2015 (EDT)
 * It wouldn't let me reply there, so I'll reply here. It definitely has something to do with moving TBB to a new server/database a few days ago, but I'm not currently aware of the exact issue. I'm going to have to do some investigation still to find out what exactly is going on. -- Ja ke  15:49, September 13, 2015 (EDT)
 * For the record, I've received messages on the Bulletin Board from both of you. It might be saying that the message failed to send, but it gets sent anyway? ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 16:05, September 13, 2015 (EDT)

So recently, I uploaded a bunch of files of amiibo cards. I listed them as being North American. However, I've just learned that they are actually from Europe. Is therea way you can changed the name and summary of a file? Thanks.

November 10, 2015, 05:01 (EDT)
 * Hey Heidy - yes! Admins and above can move files. It seems like a fair tool to give to Patrollers, however, so I will bring up with Jake the idea of granting Patrollers the ability to move files too. Otherwise, I can take care of moving them. Thanks! ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 00:30, November 10, 2015 (EST)

 * But what about the summary? Is it possible to change that? 00:45, November 10, 2015 (EDT)
 * Mario - you got me! I saw that admins had the movefile right, without realizing that all users actually do. Thanks for the correction.
 * Heidy - you can go ahead and move files using the "move" link at the top of the file page. Summaries can be changed by editing the file page like you would any article. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 00:50, November 10, 2015 (EST)
 * If you already linked the files, make sure after you're done moving, you delete the file redirects. Or, you can move files without leaving a file redirect behind, but make sure you update the image links or else the images won't show up in their respective pages. 01:13, November 10, 2015 (EST)
 * I think I've got it to work now. I'll check tomorrow. Thanks for both of help! 01:36, November 10, 2015 (EDT)

Question (2)
How do you know that an IP address is an open proxy? Red  (talk)   13:20, February 16, 2016 (EST)
 * I did say proxy, but I think the more accurate term is VPN. I used a geolocator tool (such as this one) to find the IP's ISP. The particular IP I blocked has DigitalOcean as an ISP. DigitalOcean is a server host, which led me to believe that the server was being used as a VPN. I'm not 100% sure of my analysis, and I could be wrong, but regardless the IP did show multiple users that have vandalized from it which is what led to my block. ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 23:07, February 16, 2016 (EST)
