Fanon
What if we combined the two wikis of AT Wiki & AT Fanon Wiki by making a AT Fanon Portal like on Avatar Wiki (Fanon Portal) to increase traffic to both sites. I've already talked to Niktendo7 on this. Brozoco 17:43, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not a fan of fan fictions as many can be taken way too far, and a lot of them just don't interest me, nor do I find it would help the wiki. Personally, I would prefer AT discussion over fan creations.
 * That is one aspect of the Avatar Wiki that prevents me from interacting with it. In my opinion, I feel having a fanon section separate from the wiki would be best. This reason being that we already have distractions that deter away from the wiki portion and adds focus to the social aspect of the wiki. A fanon, more along the lines, kind of sets it up into the fan's decisions and can result in information becoming skewed. It happens on the Avatar wiki sometimes. We do have a lot of activity though... I could assume we could probably affiliate with one another rather than merge the two wikis through a portal.

 * Yeah, I don't support the idea of fanon pages actually being on this wiki. However, providing a link to the other wiki should be okay. --Cornprone 22:45, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

InsertUsername template
I would like to include code for the aforementioned template in the MediaWiki:Common.js. I imagine it wouldn't have any negative effects, but I'd rather ask than just change what is arguably the most important page on the wiki. There's a very convenient explanation of it on this page to calm any concerns about possible goof ups.

Wikia Facebook
It has come to my attention that there is a Facebook group for our Wikia, I was going to do it myself but once I had discussed it a bit with some crats but apparently was beaten to the punch, anyways it seems well enough run, should we endorse it on our home page? 00:19, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * You added a talk page link to your signature!!!
 * Anyways I am told that this person is who runs it. 16:04, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thoughts? 16:51, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know who it is either but I believe is a mod, maybe she knows?  14:10, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback Request
Hey Comprone, I wish to say that I want to be part of the Rollback team, I want to remove vandalism as much and as fast as I can. Also, being Rollback inspires me more to contribute in this wikia. I'll be waiting for your reply. Thanks :D   http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/e/eb/LSPicon.gif LUMP OFF!  http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/e/eb/LSPicon.gif    9:55, July 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd second his request if you consider it. I can attest that he does have good judgement in terms of reversions of vandalism. Sephy L.png True   Sephiroth Sephy R.png 02:15, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

Noticing Forums More
Hey Cornprone. It's me again. Anyways, I made a new forum and I was talking to Flame Prince Finn about them. However, he said it wouldn't get that much attention when I was using the forums. He said blogs are more active and just like the newsletter forum (which I'm curious if it's being passed or not, because I would seriously love to help out), it won't get so much attention.

Anyways, how about we start paying more attention to the front page and noticing forums more, so here's a few suggestions.

1. Put it on the front page. Maybe a proposals section or add and update the news section more often. Put up popular blogs and the new episode that will be premiering too.

2. Put it in MediaWiki:Communitymessages-notice-msg and MediaWiki:Community-corner.

Possibility of rollback permissions?
Hello Cornprone. I too would like to request rollback permissions, though I understand if you decide not to. I wanted to ask because I feel that I make pretty well-thought-out edits, and I feel I deal with vandalism as required (if that is a factor in your decision). Do you think you could ponder said request? Thanks in advance.

Princess Luna   &lt;3  00:48, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. Although your contribution history is good, I've kind of decided stop handing our rollback to anyone who asks, for now. Rollback basically offers a slight level of convenience, and that's all. I don't want people to start thinking of it as a badge of authority or some kind of reward. And I probably shouldn't have been handing it out to people when we don't currently have an established policy for deciding who qualifies for it. I hope you understand & I really do appreciate your contributions to the wiki. Thanks. --Cornprone (talk) 00:08, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Contest
Since the bureaucrat whom I asked didn't reply yet, I'm going to ask you - can I make a contest (a game) around here? I'm asking for your allowance. E n e r g y X ∞ 15:52, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe the problem is that they could use more information on the matter... especially since tons of people host games on the blogs. 16:01, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cornprone. You told me that if I wanted my intro moved, you told me to tell you, so I want the intro moved, please.CinnammonBun (talk) 09:41, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I moved it. 12:53, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

About the contest - here it is and the rules are here (of course, the rules are not yet completed, but will be). Can I update it on home page? E n e r g y X ∞ 10:27, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Cornprone! Flame Prince Finn mentioned that you can make people into admins, is it okay if i ask you to make me an admin => please go to my talk page and reply to me Thank you and have a nice day!

02:10, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Re-Hi
I don't understand, how can I be an admin? Please leave a message on my talk page to answer!

09:13, August 12, 2012 (UTC) thx

Re: Game
Okay, you can't make it on home page, but can you make it on community corner? E n e r g y X ∞ 10:13, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Bravest Warriors Wiki
As I'm sure you know, Bravest Warriors is going to premiere soon on the Cartoon Hangover. I propose we ask the Bravest Warriors Wiki if they want to be our sister wiki. --King Chubzhac, Boss of YOU (talk) 15:09, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

What do you think?
Hey Tavi left me a note that said I wasn't allowed to curse on my user page or something and it was in reference to this image which doesn't have a curse word in it but I removed it from my profile anyways before getting it ok'd by him but he isn't responding and I was hoping you might ok it. 12:51, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Maintenance Admin Complaint
To the Adventure Time Wiki Bureaucrats: Hi, this is True Sephiroth, and of course I should be known by now. I have been contributing throughout this year since February, and have been a WC long before reregistering for wikia back in February. I am writing this talk page message to you as a formal complaint towards a recently promoted maintenance administrator (MA): Blugo34. In this complaint, I will detail some of the negative behaviors that have been displayed by this MA over the course of the last few days and some of his actions throughout the last month going back to early August. Links provided within the message will direct you to talk pages, images on the wiki for comparison, or other comparisons that I complied for you.

The situation began when he asked me how to make an image transparent, and how to make the images he uploads as good as mine. Kind as I was, I share how to do it with anyone who asks. I then told him how to get modelsheets off the Frederator flikr account and how to get the images at their best size. He soon started showing descent contributions and I supported him being made a rollbacker for the wiki, since a lot of his contributions were to pages and reverting vandalism. I then took a leave of absence from the wiki for personal reasons. Over the course of the month, a friend of mine told me he was replacing practically every image I uploaded and only mine. I didn’t think much, because I’ll admit that a few of my earlier images I didn’t get around to updating to HQ. I brushed it off and thought that he was just replacing some of my older images, which did needed to be replaced.

September comes around and I was bombarded by a good portion of my page image uploads being replaced and/or deleted. The images themselves ranged from poorly edited to ridiculously oversized images. A few are simple reuploads of the same exact image. I went through all of the images and I made some reversions to some that didn't need what Blugo34 called "Updating" when all it was is a massively resized image. Naturally, I fixed what I could do for now, and reuploaded brand new images for some using my new editing method that Blugo34 also uses. I then proceeded and wrote a talk page for Blugo34 stating what I saw and what he should do in the future. I explained the importance of dimensions and file size, and went into how large file sizes are a nightmare for slower internet users. After expressing this with him, he then proceeded to all of the images that I just reverted or uploaded with the his  that he provided; though, he  his images  the file  of the last upload for absolutely. He not only did this to me, but to other users as well such as Sky Monster and Lailoken. Note: The file Ugly Monster has further history that was deleted from a name change. Said image was also fine and reuploaded for no reason.

Some comparisons between mine and his latest images are provided below:

Here, Here and Here

The same day on the 12th of September, Blugo 34 started a private message with me on the chat. It began how he felt I was rude and escalated with him outright insulting me to the point he that he tarnished his reputation towards me forever. The details of the conversation can be found below:

Here, Here, Here and Here

He made zero attempt to explain himself other than to tell me that my images were "very grotesque and bad edited." He then exclaimed "I am making this wiki better not grotesque images and bad edited crap." He continued to insult the way I work with images and how images I previously uploaded were terrible and making the wiki worse. It was not befitting a Maintenance Admin nor does it support what this wiki is about. By doing this, he is causing more harm with his written verbal abuse and his very rude and obnoxious attitude.

I then noticed another trend from his uploads. I noted that Blugo is trying to keep his name as the soul contributor to an image based how he reuploads an image that was fine to begin with. I also believe he is attempting to boost his edits with so many reuploads for images that need no update. The shear amount of his "updates" to images that do not need to be replaced is evident on that. As for the claim he is trying to control who has contributed can be seen on the deletion log. At 8:58 am this morning, Blugo uploaded several backgrounds from Evicted! Two of the images, were already available at the highest quality available. He then proceeded to delete the duplicates to replace them with his own at 9am.

Other instances also include history on images being deleted that wasn't uploaded by him. Check, and the history on these files are gone from the file. For instance, the deletion logs.

With his uploads of the same file occurring around the same time or before he deleted the original.

19:57, September 12, 2012 Blugo34 (Talk | contribs) uploaded a new version of "File:Pan official.png" (Size adjusted for loading time.)

19:56, September 12, 2012 Blugo34 (Talk | contribs) uploaded a new version of "File:Pan official.png"

19:32, September 12, 2012 Blugo34 (Talk | contribs) uploaded a new version of "File:Teddy Bear Joke Book.png" (Reverted to version as of 11:24, August 27, 2012)

18:54, September 12, 2012 Blugo34 (Talk | contribs) uploaded a new version of "File:Flame Prince with flambits.png" (He uploads his own and then proceeds to delete Lailoken's upload from the history)

As a MA, Blugo34 is doing part of his work, but at the same time his rude behavior and activities is not what this wiki currently needs as an Admin. We need someone who cleans up the community of old files, making the community easier to navigate, load and just cleaner looking. He may feel that he is doing that, but all he is doing is trying to make things all about him, or to boost how much he believes he is contributing by edit boosting.

Indeed he is active, but responsible and mature? His behavior shows me that he is not fit to be an MA, nor is he mature enough to act decently towards other users who contribute just as much, if not, more meaningful contributions. I am one of the three oldest (in age) members on this wiki and being talk to in such way is rather deplorable. He made me feel unwelcome at this community. He also made me feel that my contributions were not helpful in any way, shape, or form. He has displayed this sort of behavior before the MA position, in our own chat, and on other Wikis that has resulted in his blocking from those wikis.

I am asking that you consider what is best for the wiki and base your decision on what I have stated in this complaint. I thank you greatly in advance for looking over what I have to say and the evidence provided above.

Thanks in advance,

 * So, you are trying to get me demoted, well, Feli said that we need high quality images and I overwritten your bad edited (truly bad edited) images. Also, everyone voted for me being an MA, Tavis said it because I made good contributons. Yes, I always do my job. I always clean up the Unused Files, rename some images to their proper style. I help alot of people with codes and in images. Also, your argument is pretty invalid and it did lack of sense because you are lying. As you can see, your post is really faulty and lacked of evidence. It's really depictable that you are just trying to get me demoted because I overwritten your ugly files. So I'm sorry if I ever made you angry, but I am just doing my job. I always wanted this wiki to be better. And you in the way, is just a problem to me. But yeah. "Im Just Your Problem." And if you are like that, nothing is going to happen. You spread lies and making people hate me. It's just sad, because you are an educator and you do stuff like this. Such a shame. I am very disappointed with you True. Dragging people down with your idiotic and nonsensical comments. And those evidence are obtusse, I mean my uploads were just better than yours. Removing those smudges and some minor details and you get angry. Sheesh. You are so very, very low. I am just doing my job as an MA. Demote or not, I am still gonna serve this community. But it still important for me to be an MA, because I can delete unused files without asking admins and stuff. Keep chat safe. Help people alot. But sometimes, many people really lie and try to bring you down. Anyways, I hope you understand that I am not doing this for fame or even my name on that image but keeping this wiki become better in many ways and I worked hard for this alot.

 * So, Blugo. When did True Sephiroth say he wanted to get you demoted? It was a complaint. Also, his images are not even that bad at all. Making images huge will not make anything better. If anything, it makes things worse. Don't you remember that last chat we had on your talk page before you archived it? Yet you act like that never happened. Why have you been deleting file history lately? Also, are you sure True Sephiroth is lying about everything? Why did you try removing his message if he is? I know for a fact that a lot, if not all, of the stuff written is true. When you say that what was written is a lie, you must also be saying that you were never banned from any other wiki. I remember you saying that the only reason why you began to edit this wiki is because you were banned from the Glee Wiki. I noticed that you have the wrong idea of what "higher quality" means. That does not mean huge, it means that they are not pixelated and are clear. Finally, True Sephiroth is not saying that he is mad about his specific images being edited. Not that he even said anything about being mad. He was saying that about images uploaded by generally anyone. -- Jake getting pulled on by candy kids special pose.pngFinn with brain outline special model.png 05:40, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I've looked over edit histories, and I think I see what's going on. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems like Blugo has replaced lots of image files. Some were replaced with much higher resolution versions. In other cases, there's no apparent reason why they were reuploaded. Although this doesn't technically harm the wiki, in most cases it doesn't really help either. (Note that very large images aren't that bad, because the thumbnails that appear on pages are separate, smaller files generated by the wiki. That said, I don't think we want the largest possible versions of all images uploaded to the wiki.) Blugo, you say that you replaced images because they were "truly bad edits," but it seems that other people, including myself, don't understand what was wrong with the old images. Could you link to examples of images that you replaced because they were bad? The thing is, people of course get upset if their contributions get deleted and replaced with no clear reason. Therefore, I think that should only happen if there is a noticeable problem with the existing file. If files need to be renamed, they should be renamed, not deleted and replaced. Blugo, you also accuse True Sephiroth of lying about you. What specific things are you saying he lied about? --Cornprone (talk) 07:57, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's too many, I can't find it all. You can look to my user uploads, if you want. Yep, alot of users complain about Sky too, keeps deleting images and uploading his own. Please, when I uploaded the Flame Princess new costume, he immediately uploaded an ugly one and replace my beautifully edited pic. Since, this are all lies. And the evidence were invalid because we don't know if it is true or not. ALL. Also, Sky is always being mean. Thank You. And I already said sorry to True for the events that happened. 16:26, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Blugo, pretty much no one complains about me unless you count yourself. I delete images only when they are duplicate files since the wiki should have as little spam as possible. By the way, about that Flame Princess image, I actually made that without knowing you did, and I did not make it immediately when you uploaded it. Also, the pictures are as "beautifully" edited as each other, but my picture was better since it had a better file name and the image was smaller. Also, when have I been mean? -- Jake getting pulled on by candy kids special pose.pngFinn with brain outline special model.png 15:18, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Uhmm, you are not even close to being considerate in images. You just delete, delete and delete. I did not know why FPF said I was like you :U. Your uploaded was not beautifully edited because it had smudges, mine did not. And you deleted it. Also, you have been mean since I edited into this wikia. Capish?
 * You didn't prove a thing in that post, dude. I am never mean to you, but it might seem that way at times because I need to deal with how immature you can be. I just noticed something very interesting. You say that True Sephiroth "lacks" sources about you, yet you give no sources about me at all. Though I will actually source for you... only to prove that your claims that I am mean to you are total nonsense. On chat, I sent you a message telling you to stop uploading similar files, yet you only replied using this emote, :|. You then tell me to stop being mean to you and you then block private messages. How was I possibly being rude? That is the only reason you ever gave for me being "mean," besides that Natasha Allegri's gallery argument (which I pretty much won). -- Jake getting pulled on by candy kids special pose.pngFinn with brain outline special model.png 17:01, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * But all you are is mean

All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean. And did you think for 3 hours for that? I was expecting an essay. And you were always rude and kinda lame as stated by some users. Sorry about that :/ 1:04, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
