User talk:GTW-47

Hey - thanks for pointing out about the andromada. Just a request from me, mention which game each vehicle etc is in, and if you can, mention the differences between the versions. This wiki is not just about San Andreas. For example, FBI Rancher says nothing about which games it is available in, how you obtain it or even very much about what it is or how fast it goes. Your input is still very much appreciated...

As for pictures being spoilers: for one a picture doesnt spoil a game, I dont go "wow" when i see a gun i've never seen before; and for another thing, San Andreas is two years old, we're past the spoiler issue.

Pictures

You may upload any image. However, it must not be a breach of copyright, or be inappropriate. Screenshots of GTA (including mods) are usually fine, but we don't want upskirt shots or anything. Things like logos or photos are usually okay if they are used fairly, simply for identifying the product or company, however editing logos or trying to recreate them is usually out of bounds. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me - Xenon 02:11, 9 September 2006 (BST)

San Andreas

Just a word of warning. San Andreas is a page about the STATE, but Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a page about the Game. Please make sure you use the correct link - Xenon 18:49, 16 September 2006 (BST)

will do. sorry 47 21:57, 17 September 2006 (BST)

Administrator

Congratulations, you are now an Administrator on Grand Theft Wiki. This gives you the added functionality of moving, deleting and protecting pages along with reverting edits and blocking users. However, this brings you the added responsibility of maintaining GTW and helping protect it from vandalism. If you have any questions, please let me know. Otherwise, treat GTW as your own and you can start making decisions yourself. Big thanks for your help so far, and I look forward to working with you in the future - Xenon 01:08, 29 October 2006 (BST)

POTD

The POTD is in a template at Template:potd - editing that shows up wherever {{potd}} is placed. That is separate to the main page because the main page is protected, so people cant edit it - with it being 'included' from another page, everybody can edit the potd - Xenon 08:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually no sorry - you already found that. The problem was that you were editing the non-functional code that is displayed in the text. The actual image code (used in the template) is the [[Image:Tram 1.jpg|right|200px]] at the very top of the edit page. The way you can differentiate is that anything between <noinclude> and </noinclude> is only displayed on the template page, and not displayed when including the template into another page. You can figure out what <includeonly> does? And just so you know, any code between <nowiki> and </nowiki> is not turned into HTML and is just shown how it is. - Xenon 15:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Protecting HowTo

I noticed you've protected HowTo. I don't think this is neccessary since nobody has tried to edit it yet (apart from that one spam). It rests on the question whether normal members will be able to help by editing that page or not. I just don't want to end up protecting everything and having nothing that normal members can contribute to. However, since it's only a bit of information, i'll leave it as it is. I've removed {{protect}} for now, since it already has {{Working Document}}. Tricky questions - Xenon 12:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Pooter1 02:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Unused Files

Hi - Could I draw your attention to Special:Unusedimages which lists all the images that aren't used on any pages. Since you do a lot of the uploading, I'd appreciate it if you could quickly go through them and delete any images that aren't going to be used again - especially ones uploaded by accident or misspelt or where a better one has been uploaded instead. Thanks Xenon 20:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
