Personal Notes

No watch/unwatch tab
Can't go to wiki userpage or edit userpage
Is "move" a restricted option?

Hi GK! Great to see you back! And congratulations too! Regarding the above, the watch tab is in the dropdown arrow next to 'view history' - I'll see if I can promote that to being a full tab. To get to your wiki-style userpage, you need to hit the orange button "Use Wiki Userpage". And yes, move is restricted to trusted members (which you now are) and staff. It's easy enough for people to use {{move}} or ask staff to do it, so it just avoids a lot of problems. Gboyers 14:32, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Also, some images have not managed to be copied from Wikia, so we're having to copy these over manually. See issues for all the problems. Gboyers 14:34, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Thanks on both counts! Ok, I see the watch option. I couldn't get it to load my wiki-style userpage earlier, it just refreshed the other one, but it's working now. And where's the move option? Also, what are we doing with the images? Just downloading them from the wikia and then uploading them here? I can help with that, too. --GuildKnight^talk2me 14:36, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Oh sorry no it wasn't trusted users, it was inspectors/moderators/patrollers. I've made you admin again so you should be able to move now from the top tabs or dropdown. And yes, we're just saving and uploading any missing images. You don't need to make the page or add the copyright stuff, as the File: pages are all there already, just not the images themselves. One thing to note is that some galleries in pages aren't working even though the images are there, as we now need to add "File:" to the start of every image name (unlike on wikia). Gboyers 15:05, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Ah, thanks! And be sure to let me know if I do anything wierd, since I've been away for a while! :) --GuildKnight^talk2me 15:15, 18 October 2010 (BST)

It's possible for Gerard to enable a watch "button" (outside of the drop down menu) instead of the "Watch" tab, using $wgVectorUseIconWatch = true; - however, I just tried it out in a test wiki in my localhost, and it's really poorly implemented. There isn't even any way of knowing whether you're already watching the page or not, the button is identical either way.

Welcome back

Just to say that it's great to see you back with us. A-Dust 00:12, 29 October 2010 (BST)

Thanks! I'm probably not going to be quite as active as I once was, considering my pregnancy (:D) but it's great to be back. I'm also still quite active on the Elder Scrolls wiki, and I'm playing a lot of New Vegas at the moment, too (though I definitely won't be on that wiki, since it's a wikia), but it's great to be back among y'all. Feel free to point me to any conversations I should follow, since I don't have all the appropriate pages watched, anymore. --GuildKnight^talk2me 02:49, 29 October 2010 (BST)

Staff Roles

Hi, could you please fill out your section of the table at Grand Theft Wiki:Staff/Roles? That page explains the reasons, but we're just trying to assign staff some responsibility and ownership of their own sections, and give you a bit more room to do what you want to do. Thanks - Gboyers 00:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Alumni

Hey Carlee, how are things? I just wanted to let you know that I've moved you into a new user group called Alumni. This is a group we're now using for inactive/retired staff who we still trust with their administrative rights.

This means that you can come and go as much as you please, be as inactive or active as you like, and still be able to do everything you need to do. All the rights of the new Alumni group are listed on Special:ListGroupRights, but in short you can still move/delete pages and block users. Alumni are also not listed on the staff page so there shouldn't be users bugging you with questions.

You're still eligible to read and contribute to discussions and the GTW Staff Forum, just let me know if you need me to enable your TGTAP account to be able to see it.

Hopefully this works out best for everyone, with less pressure on you whilst we still benefit from your experience! Let me know if you have any questions! gboyers ^talk 00:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

+== Personal Notes ==
-Hi GK! A while ago I started on an idea that Gboyers came up with, to write a perfect mission article and use it as a guide for writing mission articles all over the wiki. Both GB and A-Dust gave me their input and now that I've remembered about it, and it's getting closer to perfect, I would like to get some input from you as well (I'm also going to ask Eganio, but with him being even more inactive than you, I don't know if I will get any input from him real soon). Here is a [[User:Biggest gta fan ever/Perfect Mission|link]]. Thanks!

-:Looks pretty good to me.  I'm not sure if I like the bullets in the walkthrough, and you switch tenses a couple times (it should always be in present tense), but other than that, looks like you've got a good thing there!  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 17:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

-::I originally had the walkthrough in paragraph form, and on the [[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever/Perfect Mission|talk page]], Gboyers recommended bullets to make information easier to find.

-I'm sorry to hear your intentions GK. Yes the community has perhaps got a little thin, but all the "easy" content from GTA IV is up, and now theres a long hard slog ahead to get all the rest of the GTA IV content up. We've brought 3 new staff on board this week, since I've been pretty busy with exams and work. I have no idea where Ed has gone, but we could really use you being here now. Obviously it's your decision, but I'm asking you to stick around. Let me know - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

-== What's Changed Answer ==
-Hi, I didn't answer your question real great before on IRC, but now I've been thinking about it. It's not the wiki that's changed, it's the community. We lost alot of our old editors and have a few new ones. '''[[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest GTA Fan Ever]]<sup>''[[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|Talk]]''</sup>''' 10:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
-== Cleanup Project ==
-Hi GK. As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]], I have assigned some tasks to [[staff]] members. This way, all the tasks get done, not just the obvious ones. I know you're not completely active at the moment, but could you have a go at [[Special:WantedFiles]] (fixing/removing broken links) and [[Special:UnusedFiles]] (deleting bad ones, putting good ones into pages). I've given you two smaller tasks rather than one larger one, so if you could do those that would be great. Bear in mind that images have moved to the "File" namespace for some reason. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the [[Project:Cleanup Projects|project page]]. Thanks - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 20:18, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
-:No problem.  Those are things I can get done on a here-and-there basis, so thanks!  ;)  I'll go through the wanted first, maybe some of the unused can be used in those places.
-:(By the way, since I've been out of the loop for a bit, which administrative-type pages would you suggest I add to my watchlist? - because I check my emails more than recent changes.  I've got all the obvious ones on my watchlist, but I'm sure there's a few I should add - like [[Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup Projects]])  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 04:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

-I would just like to stop by and thank you for the promotion and I am trying to fix up on my grammar.Again thank you very much!-[[User:BloodyGTA]]
-:What you are talking about is the one that if a word is mispelled while typing a red underline appears under the mispelled word,right?,because I have that on my laptop but it is not working so I use my other computer which does not have it.Other than that thank you again.-[[User:BloodyGTA]]
-==Cleanup Project==
-Hey GuildKnight, the second phas of the [[Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]] is underway. Instead of assigning out tasks to people, I'll let you go there and pick your own. Just sign your name next to the tasks you'd personally like to help out with, and get underway. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 23:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

-Thanks for the welcome message.  Having trouble doing rebuts and responding to gripes.  Also, don't get mad but, why are there so many moronic gripes.  It seems the same @#%^&*&^ is whining about the same Sunni over and over again.  It gets annoying.  Thank the Force for Gerry Smith, evidently!!!
