I wasn't on yesterday so this is a little late, but, hope your birthday went well :) -- Melliechick 01:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned
Had problems with my chache, all of the What Links Here(s); was empty. Fixed now though, but sorry about that :P --Shadowphoenix 05:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey don't worry about it. It happens. I really hope they kill the gallery though. --People of Antioch 05:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Its looks like Karakot already went on his bot run today, and ur just starting urs lol --Shadowphoenix 05:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Eh, not really. Once I killed the orphaned images the first time, it's not so bad the subsequent times. Though, I really hate the gallery. Slows me down a whole bunch. --People of Antioch 05:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hi PoA! Welcome to GWW! Did you know that if you check the box next to This is a minor edit above the Save page button when making small changes it won't SPAM THE RC? hahahaha! -- Wynthyst 04:46, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Does GWWT have that? I'm not sure if it does. Again, I'll point you out to the code if you really hate it. (Not sure if it was serious, so I took it as such just in case...) --People of Antioch 04:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- All in good fun PoA! I've just been on a spree the past few days of informing new users about minor edits and things... and couldn't resist!-- Wynthyst 04:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. *whew* Poke more fun at me, it's refreshing and happens rarely on my own user talk page. --People of Antioch 04:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, at least you HAVE things happen on your talk page..... mine is decidedly dull :S -- Wynthyst 04:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:Redbetter
doesn't actually redirect to a page tagged for deletion, it leads to the page that is the tag for deletion :P -- Brains12 \ Talk 01:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, my mistake! I feel moronic. --People of Antioch 01:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Can I?

Image:User Shadowphoenix Easter.jpg not orphaned :P --Shadowphoenix 02:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Okiedoke. I think Eloc also had an image in there and he told me not to keep tagging it for del. I'll keep that in mind. --People of Antioch 02:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Tagging
Sorry to be a pain about that image, it just got on my nerves today. Definitely nothing personal :) - anja 21:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh don't worry about it! :o) I don't know, it's something about me that I can kinda feel emotions though text... *shrug* I'll be more lax with cape images from now on. --People of Antioch 22:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Support
Hi PoA, as my recent RFA has been resolved successfully I want to thank you for the support you gave me and will do my best in this new role :) --Kakarot 02:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hiya PoA! So what's new with you? — ク Eloc 貢 22:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome (template)
Welcoming templates aren't really a good thing to have, especially when other people use them, and especially especially when they aren't substituted. Template:Welcome was deleted because of certain... problems with it, so user-created templates would likely follow suit. If you tag yours for deletion, make sure you add a subst: in the pages where they haven't already been substituted. -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- When you mean add subst:, what exactly do you mean? On other pages or mine? I'm kinda hazy on how you described it. --People of Antioch 00:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- When you subst a template you would use the code {{subst:User:PoA/Welcome}} rather than {{User:PoA/Welcome}}, this causes it to actually place all the message on the page rather than just the template {{User:PoA/Welcome}}. If at a later time the template is deleted it doesn't affect any of the pages it's used on and doesn't cause red links. --Kakarot 00:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you. I was wondering how you do that. I would prefer it that way anyway. Also, I was complemented on my welcome template. I can understand how someone else using it might be bad, but is the template bad in itself? I'm not really sure what's so wrong with it. :-/ --People of Antioch 00:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Some users complained it got deleted yada yada yada, funny how every other wiki has one (idk if GW has one or not) lol --Shadowphoenix 01:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- For some it is unwanted page spam - it is a form letter pure and simple. Many people (new to the wiki) like to completely delete these things from their page. This is where they come up against the conservative user talk page archiving policies here which can result in confusion and anger from the new user who we wanted to welcome. I think it is unwelcoming to welcome someone and then start slapping down the rules when they want to clean up their page. If you want to welcome make it very specifically targeted and personal so the target is less likely to feel it is spam and want to delete it straight away. --Aspectacle 01:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) Okay, if I remember correctly, it had a point in which it was huge and expansive, and I've heard of welcome templates being used to troll others. Does that make mine bad? (by association possibly?) (edit) Oh, I understand the personalization, (kinda the reason I put the basepagename there). Is mine not quite good/flexible enough? --People of Antioch 01:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

- Ah, this is what I was referring to. I had forgotten that Eloc had been a participant, though you do seem to be sincerely sorry for it. :-/ I also remember (I think in one of mine or another's archives) he was reluctant to mention this user, for good reason. --People of Antioch 03:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
