== Re:Locked Page == | |||
Hmm, I could have sworn it was a "view source" page when I tried to click "Edit" last time. Might have misread it. Thanks for pointing that out though. Any particular reason the "edit" buttons are missing? [[User:Silver Infernus|Silver Infernus]] 15:47, 4 July 2011 (BST) | |||
==What the hell== | |||
Are you doing reverting me when I'm right? [[User:McJeff|McJeff]] 17:12, 12 July 2011 (BST) | |||
== Delete == | |||
Hey JFletcher, can you do me a favour and delete [[Cheap Car Insurance - How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance Quotes]]. That article is spam and serves no good use to Grand Theft Wiki. I put a spam tag on it ages ago but it still hasn't been deleted.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 11:17, 19 July 2011 (BST) | |||
Never mind. A-Dust has deleted the article.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 12:09, 19 July 2011 (BST) | |||

== RE:Monaco Userbox == | |||
This userbox is for people who use the Monaco skin to edit on other wikis, as I am sure it is still possible to use the Monaco skin on other wikis.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 09:56, 14 August 2011 (BST) | |||
Yeah sure. I'll reword the userbox.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 10:03, 14 August 2011 (BST) | |||
And JFletcher, what exactly is the difference between the Monobook and Monaco skins? Also, what does the Monaco Skin look like, if this wiki uses Monobook.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 10:08, 14 August 2011 (BST) | |||
Thanks for your explaination and quick answer but exactly are the differences (in appearance) between the Monaco, Monobook and Vector skins .--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 10:25, 14 August 2011 (BST) | |||
Thaks for your explaination and quick answer. That was a good help to my understanding of skins.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 10:46, 14 August 2011 (BST) | |||
== Community split page on Wikia == | |||
Hi. In response to your complaints on my talk page about how GTAWikia is trying to "cover up" the move, I restored the actual discussion relating to the move and I wrote the page [http://gta.wikia.com/GTA_Wiki:Community_split GTA Wiki:Community split]. I realize that for you all on this wiki with your views on GTAWikia as illegitimate this is probably less than adequate, but I think it's a long shot fairer than trying to pretend nothing happened.

== Blocking == | |||
Hey JFletcher, I have been noticing that recently, every single time Grand Theft Wiki blocks somebody, they never inform the blocked user that they have been blocked and the reason why. Do you know why?--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 11:45, 14 September 2011 (BST) | |||
== RE: Empty Image Pages == | |||

Hey, could you please weigh in on [[User_talk:Gboyers#Right_to_Delete_Images|this discussion]], and also respond to [http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/topic/25895-leaving-wikia/page__view__findpost__p__384194 this]?

Hey JFletcher, I have placed about 40 images in Category:Delete. I was wondering if you could do me a favour and delete them. Thanks.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 08:41, 11 October 2011 (BST) | |||
== Protecting Talk Pages == | |||
Hey JFletcher, according to the [[Grand Theft Wiki: Staff]] article, Inspectors can protect talk pages. Can you please tell me how to do? Thanks--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] ([[User talk:MrLanceVanceDance|talk]]) 08:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Anything to do.. == | |||
Hey. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help the wiki. Any big projects? I really wanna be an admin, but I know I've got AGES to go. Again, just any projects? | |||

== Patrol Log == | |||
Hey just a quick note about [[Special:Log/Patrol]] - it's currently useless. When it says "User:X patrolled edit Y" it actually means "Edit Y (made by User X) was patrolled by someone". You'll notice it ALWAYS shows the author as doing the patrolling, even when the author is an ordinary member without patrol rights, and even where a staff or trusted member did the patrolling. I'm looking to fix that. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 06:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Fixed Width == | |||
You are allowed to edit the main css you know! That's better than just fixing it for yourself and leaving stuff broken for everyone else. The fixed width is an unwanted side-effect of floating the main page divs. I changed them from a table to divs so that they wouldn't break on smaller resolutions (and mobile). I floated them both left so that when the resolution is smaller, the right div falls below the left one. Unfortunately that only worked when both divs were fixed-width, and I've not had time to sit down and figure out why it didn't work with a min-width or some fixed-width content inside them. Any ideas? [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Fair enough, I wasn't sure what your reasons for fixed width were, and just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's broken. And now that you've made it relative again I can see what you mean about the min-width not working. If you make the the window small enough, it actually breaks, and some of the content is moved below the right div. '''EDIT:''' What I just described can be fixed by using a wrapper div with a min width - Tested (in preview) and works, though that ruins the idea of making the right div move below the left one on smaller resolutions.

== Some help with a page. == | |||
Could you help me? I am wondering if you could jump in and play GTA IV search for [[Marnie Allen]] on the LCPD database? I am asking because of the page it says Petit Larceny, but I am question the validity of what was written, from my sources(google and GBoyers xP) it says the Petty Larceny is more commonly used. Thanks in advanced. [[User:Steahl|Steahl]] ([[User talk:Steahl|talk]]) 22:13, 5 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
:No thank you :). [[User:Steahl|Steahl]] ([[User talk:Steahl|talk]]) 23:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Test Edits == | |||
Sorry about fudging up the [[Rancher]] article. I sort of got ahead of myself. I'm planning on trying to revise/add to the information provided about the all the vehicles, as I've spent a lot of time driving, editing, and analyzing them (I do amazingly pointless things like that when I'm bored). I've already begun work on [[GTA_IV_Handling.dat_Breakdown|this article]], though I can't finish tonight. I wasn't sure how to put the article in an "under construction" state, but I didn't want to discard all the changes I've made. If you could let me know where I stand with that, I'd be thankful. I plan on finishing it tomorrow. | |||

==Discussion== | |||
We're planning to have another discussion about our plans for GTA V in the IRC chat again tonight, starting in half an hour (9pm GMT/8am in Sydney). Hope to see you there if you can make it. A-Dust 20:29, 3 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
==Loss of rights== | |||
I don't suppose you could look into why I'm no longer allowed to move and delete pages? I can, at the moment, only watch and purge pages. A-Dust 21:51, 23 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Same here. Caught wind about it at A-Dust's talk page and found I also lost the ability to move or delete. Has Gboyers been contacted about it? - [[User:ZS|ZS]] ([[User talk:ZS|talk]]) 13:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
Nobody put anything on my talk page? If anything happens, you should do that, because it instantly notifies me by SMS. I know what's caused this issue, and I've restored staff's user groups. JFletcher can provide Alumni status to suitable ex-staff, and any admin can provide Trusted User status to a user, so I'd advise you guys to do that! [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 16:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Well, I can now move pages but the delete function is still missing. Technically I'm no long an active staff and I'm only editing sparingly, so an alumni status should be enough. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] ([[User talk:ZS|talk]]) 10:23, 25 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
::I can see [[Special:ListGroupRights|here]] that Alumni no longer have delete rights (though they ''do'' have undelete rights). As is explained [[User talk:Gboyers#Can't create pages|here]], some permissions were lost during some changes that were made to the software recently. I will add this to that discussion.

That's a weird one, no idea how it happened, but it's fixed! Anything else missing? [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 12:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC) | |||

==Can I Edit== | |||
Hello there :). I have hailed in GTA Wiki and I see alot of you hate the Wikia's GTA Wiki. Are there by any chances I can edit though I am just trolling? [[User:ExtremoMania|ExtremoMania]] ([[User talk:ExtremoMania|talk]]) 11:21, 25 March 2012 (UTC) | |||

== Re: Gameids Template == | |||
Hey - I'd forgotten to finish what I started! I've fixed the infobox templates - they now all use [[Template:Gameselect]] to turn the game1/game2/game3 inputs into links and automatically adding the relevant semantic properties. So now if you look at [[Property:Appearance]], it shows the games for each mission, character and vehicle. This means we can generate automatic lists per-game of each vehicle/character/mission - like we do with characters on the country pages like [[United Kingdom]]. What we really need to do is check for any vehicles/missions/characters that ''don't'' use the infoboxes properly - where instead of specifying the new game1/game2/game3 parameters, they just specify links or a list of games. If they're not using the game1/game2/game3 parameters they won't be formatted properly and they won't set the semantic properties. Did any of that make sense? :p [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 11:14, 4 August 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Animals page == | |||
Just wanted to say thanks for the help. I know here on this wiki, it's common practice, especially amongst the management and higher staff to help other users, and I'm willing to return the favor anytime. Although it is so common to give and receive help, I just felt like acknowledging it and giving positive feedback, and hope this lifts your day even higher. -[[User:IanPhoenix|IanPhoenix]] ([[User talk:IanPhoenix|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/IanPhoenix|edits]]) 02:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
Thanks. The anticipation of [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]] is really what keeps me interested right now. It has gotten me back into the series again, as I am currently working on my [[The Lost and Damned|TLAD]] game, trying to finish it (my wife have one TV, and it's not too often that I have control of it). I hope my edits give you the encouragement you need too. Editing is always easier when you have help. -[[User:IanPhoenix|IanPhoenix]] ([[User talk:IanPhoenix|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/IanPhoenix|edits]]) 02:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done to help me throughout my time here on GTW. You've been a big help on many occasions and I really appreciated your efforts. While it's sad to see you go on the eve of such a big launch, I understand you have your wills and reasons and I respect that. I wish you luck wherever you go.
