KitanBot's Maiden Voyage

KitanBot ran the deprecate old templates for Template:Tlink request today. It decided which pages to update based on Special:Whatlinkshere. There were a few issues but all in all it was successful. I didn't wait for user comment previous to running it because it was only 40 pages to update and I was able to just manually check them to be sure all was well.
I was unable to modify Gryphon because his page is protected but all other inclusion references to the templates are gone.
You may read my observations about the bot's first updates on its page.
Note that the Template:Tlink template had a slight bug for 2500 but I fixed that as well. User:Kitan/Sig 16:01, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

My Sig

I'm trying to make my sig but am unaware of the numerical value of all the color shades... is there a list? I am not a complete idiot or a vandal! --Sandwichman2448 16:38, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Try using an image editing program such as photoshop or the gimp to select your colour, then read off what its hex code is.

In general the first two digits are red, then green, then blue. The scale goes from 0 -> f (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f). so #ffffff is white, and #000000 is black. --User:Psyker7/Sig 21:55, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

You might want to look at the Web Colors page at wikipedia. It has a large list of colors and their hex equivalents for you to use. - Clyde_Jr - tal_k - contri_b 16:40, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks all, I'm done... Check it out---> SWM2448

Sorry but.... ew.... :P --User:Psyker7/Sig 20:23, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

It's supposed to be a sandwich/burger with bun, pickle, onion, tomato, lettice, mustard, catsup, patty, cheese, patty, bun, fries, fries, burnt fries, and more fries. But as a whole is is kinda "ew".--SWM2448

My eyes.... they burn!!!! - Clyde_Jr - tal_k - contri_b 11:34, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

whut. --User:SeiferTim/Sig 11:52, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Whut the colors stand for... Should I really chainge it? No one gets it... :(--SWM2448

I got it.. I understood it right away-I can't read what the rest of yours say so I don't think you should complain. The color of the peice of food is the same as the letter, so "S" is tan like a bun, etc. I keep my stuff simple good ol' dash dash tilde tilde tilde tilde works just fine for me. Oh and, it's Ketchup, not Catsup :P. --Colinstu 03:14, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Piece, not peice :P (Catsup is acceptable) GRYPHON^tc 15:25, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Damn you Merriam Webster! --Colinstu 16:54, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

More power leveling articles

Well the question I have is this. How much of an issue is for me to reference another resource on this subject when creating an article for the wiki? I have numerous power leveling articles and documents, some payment required. Would this be a no-no to create such an article while in possession of others?

--Sharlin 15:50, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

I would suggest checking with the author of each guide you plan on using. Some might allow it, aslong as you reference them as the source, some might only allow you to post a link to their off-wiki website/source. Other will totally disallow it. If you create your own guide, but just using some as references - just make sure to give credit, where credit is due. --Dracomage 15:56, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

If you link to another site, make sure to note if the link goes to a pay site. --Bobson 16:37, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Template:Questtb

The above template needs updating to include all major database links, not just Thott - I can do it easily, but I'd like the name changed as it currently means "Quest Thottbot", is there any way to redirect templates without screwing up their use elsewhere on the wiki? User:Kiltek/Sig 10:26, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Don't, just don't. Make a new template with those links and ask someone with a bot to do the change "Questtb" => "LQuest" Howeve,r what bothers me: isn't there already a template like this? we have one for items... ==Patrigan-Talk/Contr-SH (EU) 14:41, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Template:Tlink :) Tbh, Template:Tlink should just be deleted. If it makes a lot of broken links, oh well. It shouldn't be used. And the template you're referring to Pat is Template:Tlink. Alternatively, questtb could just be manually edited; there are less than 100 articles which use it currently.--User:Sky2042/Sig 14:44, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks Sky, didn't spring to mind, I often just think of those as Litem, Lquest, L... ^^ (I really need to change my sig, but oo lazy -_-) ==Patrigan-Talk/Contr-SH (EU) 18:55, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Ah fair enough, I'll add it to my list of things to do tomorrow! Only reason it caught my attention was because Kitan was using his bot to change all the questtb, and then reverted them... meh User:Kiltek/Sig 16:30, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

The template could be edited to just call Template:Tlink until a bot gets them edited... /em goes to fix User:Tekkub/Sig 19:40, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Nix that, northing's using Template:Tlink anymore... BALETED! User:Tekkub/Sig 20:00, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
