You've got full permission to just copy any coding you like that I've done... edit the page, copy the coding in question, then modify the coding as you like to your own personal tastes. One trick I use is to edit small bits, then use "Show Preview" to see what changes. That way, I can figure out which coding does what. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 12:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Sig Policy Questions ==

Are random quotes and such permitted at the end of one's signature?  Is it admissible to sign one's comment with a phrase completely unrelated to their username?  Is it allowed to sign one's comment in the middle?  <s>What's your favorite color?</s>  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 21:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:you got to it before i did. id like to add, is it necessary to use 4 tildes, as opposed to 3? (date and time) -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 21:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

::Let's see... there's a few things that technically aren't a part of the policy, and as such I only enforce if it's really disruptive.
:*Random quotes; so long as it's not too long, it's within the rules. I suggest to anyone that they save quotes for their userpages, and keep their signature a signature, but in the end, it's up to them. (I suppose I would officially ask them to change it if the quote wasn't a suitable one for a signature.)
:*I strongly encourage users to reflect their name in their signature, on way or another; while it's not a rule, I would like to have that clause added at some point. Short version of your name, a nickname, stuff like that, I have no problem with. But signing your name as a completely different name altogether? It raises the problem that if someone else registers your "nickname" as an account, suddenly you're impersonating them. Optimus has the Optimus35 account registered, so there's no trouble there, for example. But if another user were to do the same thing without having a similar account name, it could raise problems. Once again, not an official rule yet.
:*Signatures generally go on the end, so they're easy to find... you also know where the comment ends. But where you put it is generally up to you; keep in mind, if you add your signature to the end of someone else's comment, or the beginning of your own, chances are someone else will fix it or add an "unsigned" template to the end of your comment (because they might not know that you ''did'' sign the comment).
:*On the same subject, adding the date and time isn't necessary, but it greatly helps out other users who might want to know who said what when. It's mostly just a courtesy thing though, and you're more likely to get complaints from other users then from admins on the subject. On that note, Optimus used to have a nifty trick where the time and date was built-in to his signature...
:*My favorite color is green. Forest green preferably. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 12:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== The Journey ==

for refrence sake, i quite enjoyed your deletion journey, so ive taken the liberty of collecting it for you starting from 50.

50. thanks to your slower pace this time around, you arrive in tip-top shape and prepare to leave once more for Sixty.<br>
55. spotting Sixty ahead, you begin to run...<br>
57. you trip over one of the numbers, but quickly regain your balance and continue<br>
58. almost there!<br>
59. I see you, Sixty! You're mine!<br>
60. Sixty! ...sixty? No! It's a fake. The road continues on.<br>
62. you begin to feel misled and disillusioned. There's no end in sight.<br>
63. you sit at the side of the road to rest.<br>
-*big break*-<br>
64. falling backwards, you realize that the true path was underground all along!<br>
65. unfortunately, it's far underground, and you hit your head at the bottom.<br>
66. you wake up, dazed.<br>
67. there's light ahead!<br>
68. you break into a run.<br>
69. almost there!<br>
70. arriving, you quickly notice that this isn't the end of your journey. You decide to rest for a while.

theres more?? good luck on the journey. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 23:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

80. there's the remains of a camp, hastily left. There's a note: "keep it up."

82. your journey continues in silence.
87. the repetition is starting to get to you. You could have sworn you passed by a few letters...

89. the cupcake was good, but much too small. You're feeling hungry now.
90. a big number, but there doesn't seem to be anything special here.
96. it's quiet. Too quiet.
99. something's coming. Something... big.
100. it was something big. The numbers now have a third digit! You inspect the path, but aside from the new numbers, nothing has changed.

106. the smoke is getting closer!

:You mean updating old signatures? It's probably a good idea to remove big, distracting images from signatures, but removing images from every old signature would probably be a bit too much work to be worth it. I don't see much problem in leaving most of them, unless the signatures are particularly distracting, and/or on particularly prominent talk pages. (Keep in mind that most talk pages are out-of-the-way, or archived frequently.)
:So, bottom line, I don't think the oldies should be a problem, so editing images out probably isn't necessary.

== Hi ==

I just logged in and the petition page is back albeit with a few people who have been intimidated off the list.

Did you restore it, if so thank you. You seem to understand.

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion, we started a project, Me, Blue Jirachi and Kuki, the idea was we would get enough signatures to show support for a system like Wikipedia, where admins are voted for and alternate sprites are allowed.

Then lots of people started signing, we got 11 in 2 hours, then we get branded a rebel alliance, our [[wp:flag|User tag]] is deleted, page deleted members given warnings to be silent.

Then I think you restored the page, to allow us freedom of speech, and then Optimatum and DCM lauch attacks on me calling me in total.

A WAR MONGERING POWER HUNGRY NEW BASTARD THAT SHOULD FUCK OFF AND GET HIS OWN WIKI.

Even now the page is protected so we can't edit it, why is that, to keep us silent?

:::::TTE already blocked Ph43r4ever for his comment. Valid points or not, he made his comment in a hostile manner, and admitted it. I understand the frustration, but loosing one's head is never a good thing. First things first, I'd suggest that everyone else try to keep a level head as well, or banning users for a few days will be the only option to cool things off.
:::::
:::::On the subject of Alternate Sprites... lots of extra sprites ''will'' slow down the server, but just a few won't hurt. Things like Ash's Squirtle are harmless enough, and I don't mind them being around. But we really don't ''need'' much more then a few... Tavi, you're the one making most/all of these sprites, correct? I'd say go for it if you want to create tons, but let's only upload a few of them. Do you have someplace else you can upload sprites perhaps? If you still want to show them off or something. Photobucket comes to mind, for one.
:::::
:::::As for any discussion on the DPODB subject, that should be taken to the forums. It's easy enough to make an account there (just as easy as making one here, at least). [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=29366 This thread] was already started for the discussion, and if you have suggestions for making Bulbapedia better, by all means, post them there.
:::::Shining restored Sailor's page for linking purposes, but nobody actually added a link (because it's protected)... I'll go add that myself, for anyone who hasn't already seen the forums.
:::::
:::::I think that's about it for my comment here... let's try to keep any discussion on sprites or democratic processes on the forums, in one spot, instead of spreading the conversation across everybody's talk page. And most importantly, let's not making any of this personal; it's not an insult to Tavi's sprites if we don't use them due to server space concerns, etcetera. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 23:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== HTML wizardry ==

i was trying to put a picture at the top of my page, but i wanted it off to the right as to not bother the rest of my pre-talk page text. normally no big deal with our fancy img boxes, but the pic is site unrelated (sort of) and i didnt want to archive it, so, its an outside URL. so, i put it in a userbox so its out of the way, and does the job. well, initially it worked, but, i came on today and found it missing. no one removed it, in fact, the HTML text is still there, but it is invisible. i read somewhere (on TTEs talk i think) that userboxxes are invisible on talk pages. crap. so, i ceated a fancy table like you have on your talk page (and many others) but found that the picture would not show up. basically, im wondering if you, being the HTML master you are, can help me out here. if you go to my talk page, the userbox thing is still there, but it doesnt show up. you cant see the coding until you edit the page. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 00:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

:The problem with the Userbox code was that it's designed in a particular shape/size, I think... I forget what exactly it was. I changed it to a normal <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> tag, and if you add "Align=right;" to that, it'll set the whole thing to the correct side. Divs are perfect for aligning images and stuff.
:...actually, I could have sworn I changed it, but I can't find my edit anywhere, so perhaps it never went through. Hmm.
:Anyway, div tags = good, for that kind of stuff. I ran into the problem of the image still not showing up (it was either showing the URL, or making it into a link), but the box worked, at least. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 04:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

also, i know we can't use images in signatures but i've seen other people have images. is it because they are moderators or something? --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]'''16:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC).

:Hmm. Nothing wrong with the coding; I tested it in my own preferences, and it worked. I'm going to guess the "Raw Signatures" box in your preferences is unchecked. Make sure that's turned on, otherwise it tries to disable the coding and screws it up. And make sure to copy+paste the coding from your last comment here just to be sure, because that coding is the one I used. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako|<font color="#237d00"> '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>'''</font>]]<small>[[user talk:Jioruji Derako|<font color="#237d00">''.cнаt'''''^'''</font>]]</small> 06:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
