User talk:Chaos Jaguar

Hi! I notice you've created two copies of Twin Thalocs, one at Twin Thalocs and one at User:Chaos Jaguar/Twin Thalocs. Since it's got an "editing requested" tag on it and the version at User:Chaos Jaguar/Twin Thalocs can only be edited by you or by admins, I'm assuming Twin Thalocs is the main copy? If so, I can redirect the other title over to that one to reduce redundancy.

Also, welcome aboard Shifti, since it hasn't been said yet. Let me know if there's anything you'd like any assistance or advice with. Bryan 21:52, 27 February 2008 (EST)

Oh! I forgot I needed to figure out how to delete the other page... sorry about that. I didn't think about the 'move' option when I made the new one. But, yes, I'd appreciate that.  :) I'm not exactly sure how to redirect something, or delete my own pages if necessary (like in this case).

And, thank you for the welcome.  :)

[Edited] I can't delete the page (not an administrator, lol). Would you please delete it for me? This shouldn't happen again, because I usually copy/paste the format for new links (I just flaked out for a moment, in this case). I'll also probably put a note on my author page to remind myself of it in the future, in case I forget.

There, deleted. For future reference in order to redirect a page all you have to do is replace the page's contents with "#REDIRECT [[Title to redirect to]]". It's not any trouble for me to do this sort of thing, though, so never hesitate to ask. You can do it on an administrator's user talk page, or simply stick the {{request deletion}} template on the page in question.

Just in case you were wondering, BTW, I'm paying attention to your favorites list page as well and once it's got a few more stories listed I'll add it in with the other favorites lists on the main page. Let me know if you want any help with that, too. Bryan 22:32, 27 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks for deleting the page.  :) Thanks, too, for telling me how to redirect - I'm looking through the MeidaWiki Handbook off and on, but I haven't gotten that far into it yet. And I'll work on asking for help when I need it.  ;)

I was wondering, but I figured it was something like that, considering there's not many stories at all on it. And I don't think I need any help with it at the moment, just have to look through the stories and start reading. ^^ Which also reminds me: I'm assuming, if I put the 'user:username/' prefix before the name of the page, it automatically makes it so that the page can't be edited by anyone else other than me and the admins?

Yup. Shifti has a plugin named "KeepYourHandsToYourself" installed that causes this to happen, it's not a standard feature of MediaWiki itself. If you're curious about what extensions Shifti has installed you can see them listed at Special:Version. Most of the stuff over there is kind of technical, but ones like "poem" and "cite" might be of use to the general editor as well. Bryan 00:21, 28 February 2008 (EST)
