? Question:

? Question:

See you are doing cleanup in the alliances. The alliance page name should be: the alliance name, a space and the tag between () right? Like: Colonial Marines (>CM<). Should we move/rename those how are not in that form? --Microfix Merlin 22:40, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

= Answer:

According to what was here before us *[["Alliance name"("Tag")|in-game tag]] the space doesn't appear to be a requirement. We could create more work for our selves doing that. I'm just cleaning up broken and bad wiki links. But if a page doesn't meet the requirement like Jaynestown then I say Yes let's make it correct and have the space. --Gary Mintz 23:01, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Request that you restore this file please I would like to use it File:Thopok.jpg --Sgt Patriot 04:25, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

-Has leader of the United Jedi Federation in Extreme 2 I was just wondering why our Wiki page in the Alliance listings was removed yesterday on the 2nd July 2011 at 19:41. I saw somert on the deletion page about the Alliance had been disbanded when that is not true. We exist in Extreme 2 & have never disbanded. So has to why we were deleted from the Alliance Listings I do not know & would be greatful if you could look into this for me.

-As leader of SWaRM, I respectfully ask that our page be removed completely for both Uni 1 and 2, we have no wish to have such a page that is constantly being edited against commands wishes.

-Hi. Stephen AceLucky Yannotti wiki user name [[User:Jamesa|Jamesa]] without permission edit page of my alliance http://wiki.playstarfleet.com/index.php/Alliance_Of_Free_Stars_(FreeStar) . I had problems with him before, and I had to change the name of my alliance, because he is constantly changing page of our alliances in the wiki, but he is not our member.[[User:Nino990|Nino990]]
-Nino990, you are not allowed to give my location to my Homeworld. [[User:Jamesa|Jamesa]] 21:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

-The old alliance list page shows that for "D" alliances - none are in Universe 1, with "Dune (Sons of) - Dune" listed as one of these. This is not totally correct as this alliance is actually in Universe 1, however it is actually Alliance Name = Sons Of Dune; Alliance Tag = Dune. So as you can see they decided to show this with "sons of" in parentheses on this wiki, but that is not the case in-game. I am not a member so I will not move their wiki page to the new alliance list, our alliance just has an NAP with this alliance. Thank you [[User:Hawk1267|Hawk1267]]
-==Random Accounts==
-*Looks like someone was a bit bored today. Hopefully in a few days when Matt updates the wiki we should be able to do IP scans.
-We are not really supposed to block people just because we think they are Multi-Accounting, but it seemed pretty obvious. I like to use that block template, it makes everything seem more professional. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 17:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
-*Yeah I'm in V mode in both SFC and SFC-Ex because of Real life commitments just keep checking between document scans I'm doing. Yes I saw the template you used and copied it to notepad for fast access. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 17:57, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
-*Mark my word this place will get really busy in September. Everyone will be back from vacation and will be looking for games to pass the time while the pretend to do there jobs. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 17:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
-==Labeling the pages==
-*Im guessing your just pressing the random page button? And then adding the tags to the alliance pages. I was doing that a few days ago and do it when I have nothing else to do, but im busy writing templates. I need you to leave a random not on my talk page in a few minutes, il tell you when I just need to get the new message message up. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 18:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

-==Moving to a New Wiki, Need Help==
-Phil and Matt have decided to respond to the upsurge of vandalism by moving the stuff to a new wiki. We need your help uploading pics to the new site. For more info, check [[Starfleet_Commander_talk:Wiki_Editors_Council]]
-Thank you!

-==MBTI Personality Type==
-If you haven't heard about this already, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a sort of personality test that is pretty accurate and descriptive. I'm curious to see what personality types we admins have. If you'd care to do so, you can take the test [http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp on this page]. When you hit Score It, a new page opens with a four-letter combination such as ISTJ or ENFP. Please let me know what it is, and if you want you can Google it to see what it means. Thanks!
-For example, my personality type is ISTJ, which makes me: quiet, practical, logical, organized, impartial, et. al.
-[[User:Jesus Saves|Jesus Saves]] 01:04, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
-My Type is ISFJ<br>
-ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.) --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 02:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
-== Traffic Jam==
-Lol this is the most people I have ever seen visiting the wiki ever.--[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 21:16, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
-LOL, Agreed I have never seen this much Traffic. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 21:20, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
-Just keep a close eye on things. Every so often there is the guy who does not understand the very simple number sequence and has to be corrected --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 21:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
-OK Will do in fact I corrected one when I signed it myself --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 21:33, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
-* Lol I had to lock it for a minute so I could actually fix some stuff. Lol. I cut and pasted all of the sand box names. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 01:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
-==Moving time==
-*Ok does everything seem clear to you? lets start with the Popular well known alliance first. As you move them remove them from the list. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 20:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-*Clear this up for me "Alliance name"("Tag"). means for example. Also not clear on how to move the page as I see you are doing.
-*[[Rigellian Compact|Rigellian Compact (RgC)]] --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 20:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-* Onthe top right next to the delete protect things you will see a move tab. I want the actual page name to be Alliance name plus tag. But when listed it should only be listed as the tag. Get that? --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 20:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-* I'll try the RgC I listed and see if I get it right. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 20:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-* I think I screwed it up it should look the same I'm going to undo the move and redo it. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 21:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-* Appears I did it correctly and I understand the edit you performed on the alliance list. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 21:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-* ok good, I have to go out but tomorrow I will send an email to BFG asking them to post an ingame message about this. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 21:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
-==waynedam2 ==
-Sure - no longer needed --[[User:Waynedam|Waynedam]] 20:47, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
-== Vandalism ==
-I talked to BFG about installing some sort of CAPTCHA to take care of the spam bots. It should make our work load much lighter. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 20:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
-Great Idea!! It is getting out of control some are kinda obvious but others we have to wait till the damage is already done. It's getting to the point I don't want to login and see what damage they have done. --[[User:Gary Mintz|Gary Mintz]] 20:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
-Ya there are some no functions like Batch delete. And a few CAPTACHs to get rid of the majority of the bots.
-Ya im going to get the admin to add a better CAPTCHA. Like the in-game one. --[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 16:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
-== Bureaucrat ==
-I gave you some extra power... Since you edit here more than I do. Just don't make anyone else a Bureaucrat without talking to me or BFG...--[[User:Phil Sutherland|Phil Sutherland]] 19:36, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
