Welcome
Hi, welcome to Supernatural Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the The Winchester Gospel page.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Kyle Nin (Talk) 08:26, December 16, 2010
Adminship
Regarding your comments at Talk:Wincest, yes, the Wiki is still in need of much work (and in need of active admins). While I'd like to edit here more often, I have commitments elsewhere which limit my time. About granting admin tools however, we (Kyle and I) are willing to grant the tools if you have proven trustworthy, all you ever needed to do was ask. :) I've gone through your edits and although you haven't been here for very long, I should think that you are a suitable candidate for adminship, and the Wiki could most definitely use some. So without further ado, I have assigned the Administrator UserRight to your account, I hope to see you use these tools for the betterment of the Wiki. Cheers.

Sysopped!
You can now do the following:
- Edit and move fully protected pages
- Delete, restore, and view deleted revisions of pages and images
- Protect pages from edits, moves, or creation by non-sysops
- Block and unblock users and IP addresses and ranges
- Edit the interface pages in the MediaWiki: namespace
- View Special:Unwatchedpages
If you have any questions, just ask :-) Calebchiam Talk 10:46, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
- You may notice that at the bottom of most pages, there are 3 ads for other Wikis, an ad can be requested at Community Central if I'm not mistaken, but it requires a certain number of supports. It's only temporary however. We should stick to developing content here as that is ultimately what will draw editors in. This should be helpful as well. Calebchiam Talk 14:06, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
Extreme Makeover: Main Page Version (Images)
Look at this stuff I've come up with. How's all this?
Follow-up background.
Wiki background.
Wiki banner/logo
Wiki icon.
They are very good. Unless I'm much mistaken, the first background is derived from that of the CW site, isn't it ? You are a pro! :P But I'm afraid we won't be able to use them because:
- The banner/logo or graphic wordmark needs to be 250x65 pixels (only .png files).
- The file limit for the background is 100 kB.
If you can reduce the file sizes then we can still use them. The icon is usable; I'll just have to generate it into a favicon. Like I said they are very good but I'm afraid there are restrictions. :( Hallichester... 16:21, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
I'm on it. These files will be compressed in almost no time at all. :)
Thesilentpoethosea 16:30, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
And I'm working on the Favicon! :P Hallichester... 16:32, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Compressed banner.
Compressed background.
Alright. Here they are. The background and banner, both compressed properly. :)
Thesilentpoethosea 17:09, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
The banner's alright but I don't know why it's still saying "Incorrect file size" for the background! :S I Do you think you can further compress it? :(
Alright. I just uploaded a further compressed version. But I'm already seeing the change. The banner, the new color scheme, even the background! Dude, we got it!
High-five on that one. :)
Thesilentpoethosea 17:55, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Well, you can say I did some mojo on it to make it fit! :P So is it alright? I mean, the colour background, the buttons and the links? With this change, we'll have to do something about the Infoboxes. Check Sam Winchester. We can't make out the writing, apart from the links. I'm gonna have a talk with the Admin who "turned" me about your promotion. -- Admin // Hallichester 18:06, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Heh. Well, I like what you did with the colour background, buttons, and links. But I think we could make it fit and blend better with the background. It's currently teal, but maybe you could try making it a darker shade of teal. The buttons and links are yellow, but I think going in line with season six's title card, we could make it blue. And are there any text color changes? If there is, that could solve the infobox problem. Change the text color from white, to maybe a light blue or something to distinguish it from the background and the links.
And I'm looking forward to the verdict regarding my promotion.

Re:Sysops
Hey Hallichester, I've given sysop tools to Thesilentpoethosea. Good work with the new skin and favicon, looks good. Slight note though, try not to view adminship as a "promotion" of any sort, it doesn't make you better, it's just a couple of tools to help you edit the Wiki to a greater extent. Here's a quote from Wikipedia's founder:
| “ | I just wanted to say that becoming a sysop is *not a big deal*. I think perhaps I'll go through semi-willy-nilly and make a bunch of people who have been around for awhile sysops. I want to dispel the aura of "authority" around the position. It's merely a technical matter that the powers given to sysops are not given out to everyone. I don't like that there's the apparent feeling here that being granted sysop status is a really special thing. | ” |

This is also why I don't mind granting the tools to any active, trustworthy user we have around here. Just something to keep in mind. Keep up the good work. :-) Calebchiam Talk 04:14, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
