id make another low brow comment to add to the pile, but i cant be bothered :P . Back to the site maintainance crap ;) after the responce he got from wikia in enquiring about monobook, he has decided we should try to locate some new hosting options. My suggestions are: Beg from somewhere, Go with a VPS like Linode or WiredTree and club together with some other wikis who want hosting / are against the monaco skin.--<css>

That sucks. The idea of going independent has always been appealing to me, dunno about you but it gives a sense of more ownership - ie we aren't governed by what wikia thinks. I've got misgivings about free hosts as I've never tried them myself but I was thinking bandwidth limits might be an issue with paid hosts (I dunno, would 1Gig a month be enough for a wiki of our size?) - not a problem at wikia as they sorted everything out. Course you know, it would mean more effort on our parts ;). Begging for donations might be the only way to keep the site going through rocky periods. I'd be willing to put some cash towards the costs, should it come to that. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 18:03, 4 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Well, Our website has a DB size, discounting images of around 8 or 9 mg. So the base versions linode (Dedicated visual RAM:360mb, Diskspace:12GB, transfer limit:200GB/month, $20/month) and WiredTree offer (Dedicated visual RAM:384mb, Diskspace:40GB, transfer limit:600GB/month, $45/month) are ample for ours, and most likely several other websites needs (hence the suggestion of sharing costs. These two providers are non contract, meaning we arn't tied down to them for longer than what we pay for. WiredTree is slightly better, and we have a managed control panel, and Linode is empty, we have to manage everything ourselves unlike WT, but both provide fantastic reliability. We can also create a script that prevents images being downloaded and uploaded should the transfer limit becomes a bit tight. Asema thinks Wikifur and nerd42 suggested that the adventure wiki on EditThis might be interested in going solo. But freehosts usually arn't worth bothering with, they are like editthis was, more pain than they are worth.--<css>

That sounds like a good deal actually - about £12 or £25 per month, so the cheapest would be what, £144 a year at cheapest? As long as shared hosting won't intrude too much on our own business and we get to have an illogicopedia.org domain address (eg. illogicopedia.org/wiki/article name) then we have ourselves a ticket out of Wikiadom and all its anti-Illogicopedianess! :p -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 20:00, 4 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

how and when do i become an admin? --HUGE BOB 10:24, 6 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

We aren't looking for any more admins at the moment because we have enough for our size of wiki. Plus, being an admin ain't all that different to being a regular user - we only get about 1 vandal a week and there's not that much stuff to delete (we try and keep all we can). Ideally we'd want a new admin to be sensible and know the site's guidelines and policies well - we can't just go around promoting anybody, y'know! :-P

PS If you win IOTM you get rollback privileges. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 10:30, 6 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

EPIC

I saw your attempts to modernise the ol' template, and I think it's probably good idea. But, any replacement would still have to work pretty hard to overthrow the establishment. Either way, keep going, you've got the right idea man, maybe the pictures and fonts need changing (slightly) or maybe the nature of the template could be changed. Either way, I'm bored, and felt bad for not explaining why i ghosted your edits so readily. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 20:26, 13 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to ask somebody at Wikia. Mention that you adopted the wiki (or whatever) and are interested in developing it and they'll give you admin access. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 18:17, 15 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Oddopedia

I think this needs a bit more help. I don't know if you use it much but it could still be good. I think the articles Ive written for it really show its potentials. Here's the only thing, every admin on there has either lost their password or just abandoned it long ago. Click [1] --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 06:46, 16 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

I think Template:Spooned should be changed from "...were spooned" to "...were spooned from" so that only the source will need to go in the parameter. --I forgot 20:19, 16 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

?

How do I add text fonts to articles? thx --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 15:09, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

You mean like this?
Just leave a space at the beginning of the line.

Or you could use the <pre>Text goes here</pre> tags which achieves the same thing but with no wiki formatting. Beware, there is no word wrap for this!

Alternatively, you could use <font face=courier>Yer text</font>. Par example:

Yes I can hack the Internet! Suck it, society.

One thing to remember with this: use only very common fonts, like Times, Verdana, Arial, Courier, Tahoma, else it might not appear on users' systems. I yope that's what you wanted to know! -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 15:55, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Yes that's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 18:17, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and how do I make text larger? Oh and how the hell to I make templates? I don't understand the coding. --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 18:22, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

There's a couple of ways to make text larger. The simplest is to use some basic HTML tags:

<big>Your text here</big>

You can nest these to make text even larger aswell:

<big><big>Your text here</big></big>

A second way to do it is this:

<p style="font-size:100%;line-height:110%">Your text here</p>

Where the percentage size of the text is adjustable. You can also change the line spacing with line height percentage.

As for templates, depends what you want to do really. I generally just look for a similar one, copy and modify it. Planning anything in particular? I can point you to an existing one with the same formatting. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:15, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

So you just copy and paste? That's what I do already. Thanks for the text formatting stuff, it really will help. --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 19:23, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Oh and just one more thing! What do you type in to create the background colour of a template? Its like this isn't it?

#7889900

Or something? --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 19:25, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

Yeah or you could just use the name of the colour, for example 'red', 'crimson', 'lightblue' etc. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:30, 17 Jumbly 2008 (UTC)

mkays, sorry.

I can appreciate that and since there are quite a few users that use it, I suspect Wikia really should have done something by now (those lazy Monaco-munchers!). Until they do, I suppose we'll just have to make do with the manual image insertion - if you've got any problems with it just ask me and I'll give you a hand. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 11:36, 1 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Its alright i think Ive grasped the concept of manual image insertion now. --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 11:39, 1 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

OK. Still, wikia should get off their arses and do something about it instead of trying to please advertisers all the time. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 11:40, 1 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Acquiring Articles from other sites

I was wondering if I can put articles from other wikias that may be being deleted on Illogicopedia when they get deleted? I was wondering because I've seen some good articles on Uncyclopedia up for deletion. Thanks.

-- --->T3<--- 00:04, 2 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Yes, by all means do so! We have a guide on How to import pages from other wikis that might be of use... the best way is to copy/paste - some text taken from the page:

1. Copy the source text of the article you are moving
2. Paste into new article on Illogicopedia (which you will have to create)
3. Leave a note on the talk page and paste edit log where appropriate/necessary. See here for an example.

The final step is to state where you got the article from. Illogicopedia already has a selection of templates for content moved from other wikis:

• Uncyclopedia: {{Moved from Uncyc}}, {{Uncyc Spork}}
• Wikipedia: {{Moved from Wikipedia}}, {{Wikipedia}}
• Genericpedia (:-P): {{Spooned}}

Alternatively, send an admin the exported XML file and they will upload it for you.

And that's about it! Any more problems, please let me know about it. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 10:31, 2 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Pictures

Sorry if im not allowed to post on this page because im new, but you asked me to put pictures on my story but I don't know how can you help me? Mwow513 22:17, 1 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

OK, here's a rough guide on how to insert a picture to the article.

1. Upload an image to the database (or find an existing one, such as Image:Example.jpg).
2. Use something like the following code to insert the picture as a thumbnail:

   [[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|230px|Caption goes here]]

   Where 'Example.jpg' is the name and extension of the pic you want to insert. Just copy and paste it from the page name. You can also alter the '230px' to change the size of the image, or remove the 'thumb' bit to get rid of the grey frame.

If you have any problems with this, just let me know about it and I'll be happy to help you out. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 10:41, 2 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Fig.1 a typical illogicapedian

I'm quite good at drawing and design and Ive got a graphics tablet, do you think i could design any of the new logos or general pictures you may need? --HUGE BOB formerly binclin File:Fdx.jpg 13:07, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Here's one i made earlier....

You've got a graphics tablet? Don't take the pill, it'll make you all pretentious and suchlike! That pic is pretty good, any chance of jazzing it up a bit? Y'know, a bit more colour perhaps, and I'll put it on VFI. Aaaaaaand we're always looking for original images to spice up the front page, so scribble away and good stuff might happen! -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 13:58, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Hey

I used to be an admin on ED. I still use the site, but I'm just here because it's down and I'm bored. I may have a look around this place and approach it with an open mind. I really don't like Uncyclopedia but if this place is different... then it may just be OK for me.--MonkeyMang 14:12, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Glad to hear of it, and honoured to have an (ex) ED admin on Illogic! We don't really have any affiliation with ED but we have had EDers in the past. Uncyclopedia has become a bit bureaucratic recently and way too deletionist so we get a lot of their estranged users hanging about. Hope you enjoy it here, and as I said, feel free to go mad - almost anything is accepted. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 14:20, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia seem to insist on deleting anything that's actually funny, and keeping the stuff that's not. Having said that, #5 and #6 of the Illogicopedia:Commandments don't sit too well with me (hell, even Wikipedia isn't censored like that), but I may do some more editing on that Grawp page.--MonkeyMang 14:38, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I have seen it myself: admins compete to delete - not good IMO.
Commandments #5 and #6 are more about cyberbullying and such like - their inclusion/wording has been debated since the dawn of time (well, Illogicopedia anyway) and, as mentioned, are just suggestions for user behaviour. They're there to stop vandals and bullies but are otherwise not really taken too seriously - we like to take a laid back stance. Critical review is perfectly fine, as is personal opinion on celebrities and stuff in the public eye (as long as it's not extremely biased). -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 14:43, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Aye up boyyo

Any news on t' pickle? --Testostereich • (ballsack) 15:18, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Aye, I've read all the articles so yeah, the judges need to get together on IRC to discus [sic]. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 16:28, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

I'll poke seppy --Testostereich • (ballsack) 16:29, 3 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

We need a third judge, it's a bit hit and miss as to whether Nerd will be around much, him being in a different time zone and all. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:04, 5 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

Awesomeland/Sorry

Hey, thanks for editing Awesomeland. I changed it because I decided to save it because I had to leave for an hour or something. Yeah, I'm sorry about the British comments in it. I was trying to make a joke. If you were offended, I'm sorry. I really don't hate the British.... that much..... Yeah, so I hope you laughed and also, tell Testosterich I'm sorry too. --->T3<--- 18:12, 5 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

One is not amused. Well, actually I am. I took it in good humour --Testostereich • (ballsack) 18:18, 5 Ergust 2008 (UTC)

I'm not offended, I thought it was fairly funny. Not sure about all the vanity bits though... -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:02, 5 Ergust 2008 (UTC)
