What's happening?Edit

Ultra, can you please tell me what's going on here? I'm completley confused. ~  theultimateh4m^talk  18:50, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

User RightsEdit

My promotion of Halo4Master is a brevet promotion in an effort to have some sort of order on the chat. Please demote him when you see this. Unless you decide his nomination is closed. Thanks. Karl-591 ^{(Talk) (Contribs)}

BannedEdit

Considering I was banned over, I'm assuming 2 months ago, from chat for just being in the room (This was by Sniperteam) I'm asking to be unbanned. I don't know why I wasn't unbanned before, but yeah. Can I be unbanned? Also, any future bans on me will just be from people calling me a troll, thanks to Brad h. Thank you for your time. Sp3c^Sprechen 09:57, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

New Halo War PagesEdit

Hey,

I thought I'd give you guys the heads up that I am planning to make a new page for each Halo Wars unit. The pages will be themed more towards the non-cannon side of Halo Wars (Multiplayer and Skirmish), as we are currently lacking that information.

This will lead to the existance of two separate pages, one with the unit as it exists in the Halo universe (i.e. when it appeared, where it was made, and where it was use), and the second page with the unit as it exists in Halo Wars (i.e. how many resources it costs, what upgrades it requires, and how to use the unit)..

I have made an example of what I intend; this is of a Firebase:

• Firebase
• Firebase (Halo Wars)

As you can see the second page has valuable information for those who want to play Halo Wars (similar to pages we have on multiplayer maps and weapons), of which we did not have before. I'm going to make a few pages already, however if you disagree, please feel free to delete them and leave a message on my talk page.

Thanks, 11:42, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Actually I just saw that the page Firebase (Halo Wars) has previously been deleted, so I'll wait for a response before starting ;) 12:00, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Can you please unban me? -- Armybuddy 00:18, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

I said July 4th. Any further messages from you asking me to unban your account will result in an extended block time. Also, learn to sign correctly so I won't have to deal with the irritation of fixing your messages every damn time. Ultra Force ツ (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits)

Chat Last NightEdit

Several users caused problems, one of which had multiple accounts. I believe an IP ban may be necessary due to the one user having many accounts. LoneGrunt 17:09, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

IP Ban necessitatedEdit

We need an IP ban or something for this guy: Tunsalous, and his plethora of socks including: Scaryghosts, Numersa, Belock, Sonofcain9... XXSpartan 135Xx has been banning them as they show up, but this is getting really annoying, really fast. Apparently this guy's the same one that caused the problems that are on your page from the other day...

Offensive behaviorEdit

Hey,

I would just like to know that there was a very rude comment made last night in the chat by Oneforseven. Here is a screenshot:

This is very offensive and absolutely unacceptable. I believe the type of behavior that was exibited by Oneforseven should not be tolerated.

Halo Nation:Chat PolicyEdit

Hello there!

The Chat Policy has become slightly outdated, and users still utilise loop-holes in the system. I have taken the courtesy of drafting a revised Chat Policy. Most of the updates are minor such as rule ten; whilst swearing isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think it would be better to keep it too a minimum as it creates an unsightly atmosphere. I also shifted the rules up one number, as after the removal of the "corruption" rule, it left an illogical gap in the numbers.

The major update that I added was a new rule, rule 19. Rule 19 allows for Moderators to step in and punish users who are sending abusive messages, or vile images to other users. Whilst the block button can be utilised, it is a bit too late to help undo the damage the message or image it has caused. Users should not be allowed to think they can hurt and harass members of Halo Nation just because it was in PM.

I have sent this message to all the bureaucrats. I hope you can take the time to read through the revised rules and agreed that the updated version would be a helpful update to the Chat Policy.

Thank you, 16:59, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Halo Nation:Chat PolicyEdit

Hello again guys (and Grizz),

I'd like you to ignore my last message as I have now revised the Chat Policy once more. The chat policy has been updated with more clear and concise rules, I have also closed up some loop-holes users have been using, and added a few extra rules that I believe will benefit the chat completely.

I am very eager to press that the changes to the chat ethos will be negligible, and users need not worry about losing their precious domain. However, the new rules allow for Admins and Mods alike to pick up the stringency of the rules should the need arise. We were 'attacked' by Nukapedia today, of which membrs came on and purposefully made the chat a difficult place to be in. The current rules prevented us from acting, and the Admins from Nukapedia seems to endorse the action of their members and even joined in themselves. Apparently they believe that they have more rights that moderators on this Wiki, even coming on the chat and demanding the the reasoning for a user's ban several weeks ago.

The newly revised rules make it more difficult for trolls whilst maintaining fairness. But I digress. The new revisions have been posted here: Halo_Nation:Sandbox. I hope they are too your liking, and hope you agree that they should be implemented.

I hope a hasty response will be met, I am eager to see your opinions :)

Thanks, 03:11, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Slider tagEdit

Greetings.

I believe you recently asked why the main page says <slider id="slider">. Well, the reason is because that tag exists in the main page's source, as seen here:

File:Slider.png

The tag should probably either be fixed or removed.

This user has vandalized Blue The Timber Wolf's user page twice, as you could see here and here.

If you could block him, that would be great. Thanks.

Continued deconstructive editsEdit

The user User:HaloRacing343 has continued to make more and more deconstructive edits on a variety of pages. He also continues to upload "new versions" of photos by downloading them and reuploading them back on to the same photo page. File:Arbiter_23.jpg is a good example of this. He has already been warned by both Wilc0 and Forerunner for various things, and users including myself have had to continually undo and fix most of his edits. He continues to be a problem and continues to have a detrimental effect on the wiki. I am informing several admins, including yourself, because no action has been taken yet, and frankly I am losing patience with his continued vandalism and edit/point whoring. Grif was here (talk) 22:00, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

See aboveEdit

Yeah I had to ban that guy above from chat after he ignored several warnings from me and then started posting insults on users' orientations and interests. Now he's harassing and vandalizing my profile and talk page, as well as what you can see on your talk page. Grif was here (talk) 10:17, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

On my promoting Novabomb1Edit

Karl-591 - "Welcome to the last day of the rest of your life." TALK - 17:04, August 24, 2012 (UTC) I promoted him because I had to leave the chat at that time and so leave it unmoderated. He, having been demoted solely because of inactivity, was the better candidate to have keep the chat under some semblance of control. You may revert my actions or not as you wish. Non-issue now. Vid showed up before I left.

If you see this message, please find me in chat. There's important things I need to talk to you about ASAP. Grif was here (talk) 14:33, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Request for automated editsEdit

Hello Ultra, I had a request. I would like to use my infamous bot for a task which is very needed, namely fixing typos and other word-related shenanigans. The problem is, the program I use for this (AutoWikiBrowser) always gives a warning that I should not do this automated. It says this for security reasons, seeing as it is a "dump-AI" it can edit a word which makes the sentence grammatical incorrect.

I have already done a handful of non-automated edits, but I would like to run this program to all 8,071 articles we have on this site.

Please consider my request, I am fine with your choice either way.

I just figured out that it is impossible to do this automated, so this request is no longer needed. I just have to do it all by hand.

Page StandardizationEdit

Hi,

I created a blog regarding the standardization of this wiki's pages. According to a comment on my blog, it says that the Page layout policies were not updated since the trasnsition from Halopedia to Halo Nation. Can you do something about the policies with the other Admins so that I can go ahead with my project?

Thank you,

Twitch TV Embed Interest?Edit

Hey there Ultra Force

My name is Jorge and I'm on Wikia's Community Development Program. I've posted a few blogs here on the wiki and you may have spotted me on chat once or twice. This time I actually want to reach out to gauge your wiki's potential interest in embedding some Twitch TV content. To that end, I've also contacted Leo Fox and Forerunner admins.

To give some background, Wikia is interested in working with Twitch to get some native embeds for interested wikis. Twitch provides live-streaming of games, from simple lets-plays to massive tournaments and competitive events. Embedding could allows users to easily find streaming content or get together to chat about particular events. If the wiki is interested, you could also have you very own wiki channel/group to stream content to users, make your own show, etc.

Do you think this is something the Halo wiki community might be interested in? If so, how would you like to use it (home-page embed, its standalone page with just links or an actual embed? something else? Producing your own show? Etc.) Either way, let me know your thoughts by leaving a message on my talk page. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 18:41, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

New template ideaEdit

Hiya Ultra Force,

I was browsing the Assassin's Creed Wikia and I stumbled unto something that would be nice to have here on Halo Nation, namely the template "WP-REAL". It can replace the bulky template "SeeWikipedia" we use now, it would look a lot smoother. Do not worry about any work it might be, my bot is on station and ready to assist.

So, what do you think about my proposal?

Greetings,

It of course is smaller, that was kind of the point. The reason I want to decrease size is the article itself isn't pushed down by a template stating that there is more information elsewhere. It still is visible on the top of the page, but more recognizable by the famous Wikipedia logo.

Do I have go?

Alpha Test InvitationEdit

Hey there Ultra Force,

So Wikia is going to be holding some tests next week for an App we are working on and wanted to invite a select group of admins from some wiki communities that might be interested. To participate, however, you must own or have access to an iPad and a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Of course this is, 100%, completely optional - so no worries if you would rather abstain or do not own the game and/or an iPad.

If you qualify and you are interested, visit this page (http://www.wikia.com/Video_Games/Lizzunchbox) and sign-up using the google doc form. Note: This form won't be live until Monday @ 10:00am PST. Let me know if you have any questions!

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 00:26, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Recent emailEdit

Hello Ultra Force,

Yesterday I've sent you an email to ask your permission to use your account to forward mails. I want to use this system so we sysops have some kind of boardblast to contact each other. I will not name the address here, because I want to keep this a secret so only sysops can use it.

I've already run a small scale test and it works just fine.

If you have any questions, you know where to find me.

Greetings,

Could you please accept the email, I know it s in Dutch but the link is clearly visible in the mail.

Send it again please. Ultra Force ツ (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits)

Done

Just a heads-upEdit

Just wanted to let you know that I have completed my task at Special:DoubleRedirects, no more double redirects around!

Game Guide App CurationEdit

Greetings Ultra Force!

I let Forerunner know, but figured I would send you this message as well. Wikia is excited to launch our Game Guides app very soon. The app features access to tens of thousands of wikis and their excellent content. As a popular wiki with a treasure trove of information, we think the Halo wiki would be a great candidate for one the first curated games on the app! But first, we need your help. The Game Guide apps thrives on excellent categorization and a little bit of admin curation. Visit this page to learn more about curating your presence on the Game Guide app: http://preview.mira-test.wikia.com/wiki/Help:GameGuide.

If you have any questions or need assistance curating the content for the app, please let me know and I will happily help you organize it. Just leave me a message on my talk page!

Best,

Hey Ultraforce! In case you missed the above message, I thought I would let you know I have some free time and will likely start curation about Monday. Feel free to chip in! Jorge (profile)•(talk) 19:27, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Can you do something about Karl?Edit

He's causing issues for me and problems and I have no wish to contact him anymore. He already blocked and banned me for telling someone how I felt about him and possibly deleted one of my posts about how there needs to be someone who you can talk to if your blocked and banned because there is nothing you can do except either wait out the block or to create a new account- which I really don't want to do on here.

Please fix this as this is causing me issues and a headache. If I get banned it's probably because of Karl's doing so please do something about this.

Lastly I may come across as rude but I'm trying to be blunt, honest, truthful as I'm tired or "treading" around. However I also try to be respectful but in Karl's case, I'm being pushed to my limits. When I was blocked and banned by Karl, there wasn't even a reason why. If I can find anyway to report him, I'll do so in a heartbeat, but I can't seem to find anyway to report him for both abusing me and breaking some rules.... namely in abusing his powers by blocking and banning me for a week with no reason even stated on my page.

You can find everything else on the "issue" which got me banned on my talk page. I hope you understand and are able to do something about this. Please....Hellrazordirty ([:Please support me by downloading my Ultimate Hardcore Fallout 3 Gamesave ] [:here]) 02:37, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Template:Title Edit

We've noticed that you are still using the title hack template and JavaScript to change the title of pages on this wiki. This template was originally created because of a bug in the MediaWiki software that prevented custom titles through {{DISPLAYTITLE:}}. This particular bug was fixed in MW 1.18. Now that we have upgraded all wikis to MW 1.19, we would like to urge you to take advantage of {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} on this wiki.

According to this page, this template is still in use on a number of pages. I would be willing to run a bot and change over all instances of {{title}} to {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} and remove the relevant JavaScript for you. The major advantage is that it will no longer require JavaScript to change the title. This increases page load times slightly and allows search crawlers to index the pages correctly which, in turn, improves SEO. Please let me know your thoughts on this subject.

Complaint Edit

I've heard enough. I'm getting multiple complaints about Karl-591 and his abuse of power. I want you to consider taking away his rights if he continues banning people WITHOUT reason. I myself am not complaining, I am just reporting.

Just a heads-upEdit

Just wanted to let you know that I just finished a big project using my bot. I used it to process about 7500 for spelling errors and unicodify things, a manual process. About 10% of the pages were edited, but I can't guarantee AWB didn't miss some spelling errors.

Greetings,
