Imports
Hey, Porple. I need for you to help me to reverse the sidebar colors. (Ex: the header, and the footer.) -Peanut64 (Talk)
 * Huh? MediaWiki:Monobook.css --Porplemontage 19:26, 12 September 2010 (EDT)

I am about to do a complete system import from Pikmin Fanon; I still am waiting for a requseted dump file. -Peanut64 (Talk)
 * Probably need to split up the file into several smaller files. --Porplemontage 19:26, 12 September 2010 (EDT)

Thanks!--Sir Pikmin

Poll Extension
Hey, can you install the Poll extension? Thanks!
 * It's installed. And we also have the ability to embed PollDaddy polls, which are very nice. --Porplemontage 22:41, 14 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Thanks, they look a lot better than the ones we had on Wikia.

Do you know if we are doing the forums sub-domain thing still?

Yeah, that's still in the works (probably). However I would like to run it, along with Green, so Porple doesn't have and can focus on more important things. I'm going to talk it over with him, and we'll go from there. If it's ok I'd want to just look into doing it on ProBoards instead of a whole new site because it's free, and I've had good experiences with them before.

Hey
Saw you were online. Here's some questions I asked Sir Pikmin. Thought you could answer/help with some of them. (Your an admin, right?)


 * Have you considered Greenpickle's bot and approve/disapprove of its use? It worked well on Pikipedia, as you can see.
 * Does Gamefreak75 have adminship yet?
 * What is your opinion on including Pikminia on de.pikminwiki.com?
 * Do you have any more ideas now we can do whatever we want with the wiki?


 * I'm an admin, but not really. I manage the technicalities of the wiki and that's about it. I really like that bot and of course it can be used. I don't manage adminship. Honestly, I'm not interested in hosting the German wiki. And no ideas for now. --Porplemontage 20:38, 21 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Okay, thanks.

Interwiki
Will you add the usual interwiki links for the other NIWA wikis? And the prefixes "canon" and "pikmin" for Pikipedia? Not quite sure how to do this yet. Many thanks if you do!


 * Bureaucrats can add prefixes here: Special:Interwiki. --Porplemontage 21:20, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

Hey, can you add the needed codes for this and the related templates to work here? Or at least tell me what needs to be done in order for it to work?
 * This won't have the desired effect with the caching we use. --Porplemontage 18:47, 5 October 2010 (EDT)

Ok, well thanks anyway.

So can the caching be removed? It'd help with a lot of features.
 * What other features? --Porplemontage 22:22, 5 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Well, the special pages and magic words that do not really work with the kind of caching we have now. And the RealMe and Wars Wiki's UserLang template would be really cool to have on this wiki.

NIWA
Have you guys decided what will be said for this wiki on this page. Oh and for the RealMe to work, I'll copy the file to the NIWA extensions thread. Moydow and I made some adjustments to an extension named MyVariables to get it working. We went even further on it so on Wars Wiki, if you have your language set to US English you'll see spellings like "color" but if you have it set to gb-English you'll see that same word as "colour". If I can figure out how to add more options to the preferences interface, there would be no limit to the amount of personalization we could do. It's so exciting! Axiomist 14:03, 6 October 2010 (EDT)


 * I basically have planned a variation on Pikipedia's. Here it is:

"Pikcanon-NOT(PF) was founded as a Wikia wiki by Rocky0718 in November 2009 to be a universal place for fans to share their fanon ideas. The current staff of Pikcanon-NOT, Sir Pikmin and Peanut64, collaborate with the fans on projects to insure that the wiki remains a fun place to be. With over 1,000 articles and more than 20 fanon games Pikcanon-NOT is rapidly becoming the largest and best place for pikmin fanon on the Internet."

We may have to do some small tweaks, but that should suffice for now. And thanks for helping with those two cool templates.

Did you get my message on Mario Wiki?

Never mind. Just saw it.

Math extension
Could you unlock the anons and install the math extension that is used on Pikipedia? (disscussion was here)


 * Sure. Let me know if spam is still an issue and I can make it stricter. --Porplemontage 20:19, 27 January 2011 (EST)


 * Okay, thanks.

Interwiki links to Pikipedia
Can you make the interwiki prefix "Pikipeda" lowercase so that the links aren't broken?

Spam
We are being hit really hard with spam. Can you disable account creation and IP edits until we can work something out?


 * I'm trying to improve.. any words to block? --Porplemontage 22:13, 8 February 2011 (EST)


 * Block "hv-ac", "insu-rance", and "certif-ication". If that will fix the problem, then no need to disable account creation/IP edits.

Sure. --Porplemontage 22:36, 8 February 2011 (EST)

"host-ing", "Soon-er o-r lat-er in life the things you ado-re yo-u lose", "li-nk buil-ding", "man-aged ex-change host-ing", and "a-ll the ser-ver fu-ll" all need to be blocked as well, preferably as whole phrases.


 * Sure; just write them normally next time. --Porplemontage 12:39, 4 March 2011 (EST)


 * Okay.

The spam problem is really getting out of hand. Can you remove the rights to create new pages and upload images from unautoconfirmed users?


 * First I want to try the questions captcha. --Porplemontage 19:27, 11 March 2011 (EST)


 * Okay.

Polls
What happened to the Poll function?


 * We can embed PollDaddy polls; none of the other extensions really work for us. --Porplemontage 23:25, 4 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Do that then, please. I've used them before, they work well.

Oh we've had that capability. Just use  --Porplemontage 23:28, 4 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Okay, great! I was pretty sure we had them, I just didn't know how.

?
What brings you here? You usually don't give us the time of day.


 * What do you want me to do here? --Porplemontage 14:49, 18 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Huh?


 * I think he wants to ask you to go to the chatroom

I'm busy updating wikis. --Porplemontage 14:52, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

Ah. Okay!

Ok, that's not what I meant
I wanted to know why you came.

Can you install the extension that makes a Capatcha appear when anonymous an unautoconfirmed users try to make an external link?


 * We have it and it asks a question. Were spam links added recently? --Porplemontage 18:00, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
