RE: Sort and Categories
Now that I think about it, I have noticed that when I edit the last line in stories, it interprets it as re-adding the categories. I'm not sure though, can I run some tests? MrDupin (talk) 10:19, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Wondering
Two questions:

(A) This is a three part question. What is that page titled "underscore.common.js" for? Should I add that page myself? What are the best tools from that page?

(B) What is the difference between that page and "underscore.wikia.css?"

Can you unprotect Herbert West: Reanimator? I would like to edit it.

The Thing in Purple
When they said "May 25th," did they mean by the end of today? I'm just making sure, as while I am making the edits at the given moment, I have some business to attend to today with family, it being Memorial Day.

Thank you for the information. I just need to know how exactly I make a deletion appeal (and whether "before the day began" means in your time zone or mine, as the time shown for your messages never matches the current time it is for me).

Thank you once again for all of your help. (And I apologize for forgetting to sign the last couple of messages I've sent.) If it's not a bother, how long does the deletion appeal take to be reviewed and considered? Grantdomo (talk) 09:36, May 25, 2015 (UTC)Grant

Ash's Coma
Can you remove the 'Reality' tag from Ash's Coma? The pasta is a theory (correctly tagged) about Pokemon, which last time I checked isn't real. MrDupin (talk) 19:44, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * I already removed the reality tag as theory covers the theme fairly well. I think the reality tag is more for stories set in our universe and not a tv shows' setting. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 19:49, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

this pasta
Sid's Video is the next in a series of pastas, the prequel is locked, so would you add a nav template to the bottom? Lost Episodes There's no mention of there being a sequel anywhere on the pasta.


 * This one also has a sequel, with no mention of the next pasta in the series The Stairs and the Doorway. 11:30, May 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * I also noticed all the chapters in Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' do not have nav-templates. It's not a huge deal, but it is a little easier to have a nav-template take readers to the next page, instead of clicking back to the main page where all the chapters are located. That's what the nav-template is for, right? It's not that much work to add them. 11:48, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm going to leave that picture like that in Nightingale
I understand what you are doing, trying to make it neater and more pasta-like. But the feeling I was going for was like a photograph in a file, seperate from the interview. Also, making it smaller makes it hard to notice that it really is a 1910 photograph of an actual Victorian mansion in Eureka California (but this one didn't burn down and is still there). I know you are trying to help because you know how I'm terrible at formatting and all (I had to skype Jay to learn how to add that caption lol).

Help?
So this'll sound pretty dumb I guess, but in my defense, this is the first time I have ever used a wiki, and I figured, since I did it wrong the first time, that I should ask.

So (I think) you had told me that I posted "Yellow Butterfly" into the wrong place - and I was wondering, because of that, do I re-upload it into the proper place?

I'm really sorry, I probably sound really idiotic right now, and I thought I had it, but I guess I didn't.

Promotion Query
Hi Tom.

I was thinking about becoming a Rollbacker, since I like to edit pastas (and admittedly, would like a staff role on the wiki).

The adminship requests page states that admins need to be active; but how active is active? I noticed some admins don't come on in ages. Can rollbackers be less active than admins?

I have flickering exams all throughout the year, but I'm really active sometimes. If I'm, say, active every other month (or maybe two months) would I qualify as a rollbacker?

Just curious.

Hi, Tom. Yesterday, I believe you deleted my story 'Richard the Narcissist'. I've checked the mechanical writing for the story, and it all checks out. Out of curiosity (I really have no desire to get my story back on the Wiki), why did did delete it?

P.S. If the prose was too experimental, I understand and will leave well enough alone.

Underscorre, my good friend, you may ask me anything you wish at anytime you wish. It's a PC. An Acer laptop to be precise. Lord knows I've written a lot of blogs on it so I don't understand why it is doing this now. Everytime I hit publish it just puts another "user blog" icon on the bottom of the article.

RE: thanks
Thank you for the help on my wiki, it was really useful. However, I recently closed my wiki due to lack of staff to help me with it and lack of ability to even be able to correctly manage and build a wiki.

I noticed that the description of the page is outdated though. It says: "telling you what not to do in your stories..." while most of the blogs actually write about what a writer should do in their story. A minor thing but it might cause some confusion.


 * Anyway, I wanted to ask if I'm actually allowed to edit that area. As I said, I'm leaving everything as is except from stuff that are not working. MrDupin (talk) 22:12, June 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright, I'll get to it. I will try and update a bit the description too. By the way, I think Pretentious' advice blogs should be added. I'm talking about this and this.

How Do I Make a Table? Or Columns?
I'm trying to format my profile, I got it how I wanted it last night, but when I add stories from this point forward, I don't want to guess-and-check with adding & nbsp;.What I'm trying to do is add Fiction stories on the right side, and Nonfiction on the left side. Do you know how to split a tab on the function into two columns, or add a table that would have right and left cells? It may seem nitpicky, but I want the stories to be on the same line, that's why I was playing around with & nbsp;.

Would you mind...
Telling me the errors with my pasta? I just uploaded it to see if it will work out.

 Ruckus Q uantum   07:06, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

Is this why my pasta was deleted? If not why?
This is an honest question.I wish to first tell you of an error on my part, second inquire if said error was the reason for my story's deletion, and third ask why my story was deleted if not.

To begin when I first arrived at this wiki I was unaware of the need to create an account, as such I immediately hit the contribute button on the top right screen. (The one that looks like a blank page.) And created a new page for my pasta. I was then unable to edit said page as I was not a member. I created an account then made a new page for my pasta.

If there are two pages of the same name it might account for the subsequent deleteion of the second page as well as my pasta.

If this is not so please inform me why you have deleted it. I have reviewed the rules and causes for deletion and am unable to determine what else could have caused it. The formatting appears correct as does the grammar. it's not on the blacklist. Is it not creepypasta material? I have never written one before so perhaps this is the case.

Trying to update my blog
It's not working when I hit "Publish" on editing my blog, it keeps saying "No changes saved yet, click publish again to save your edits." I clicked published like forty-five times and it still says the same thing. Do you know what's happening? If you would please add this to my blog "Quality Quotations" I would really appreciate it:

Then, there's double quotes, when the speaker repeats a phrase or sentence used by another character, or uses a "coined" term. As with all quotations, if you're partially quoting someone, there's no need to capitalize the first letter of the quotation, or add a comma before or a comma after. Like #1. When the second quotation ends the sentence, add a space between the single quotation mark and double quotation mark. Like #2:
 * "Are you really qualified for the position, considering you only have 'three months experience' sir?"
 * "I was standing on the precipice, and he tells me, 'Don't worry we haven't had an accident on this rock-face since 1997.' "

^ This section goes before "thoughts fall into the same category as dialogue..." Leave off the blockquote, and hit enter twice, because I want it separated from the section on spacing dialogue for new speakers and the section on monologue.
