Current Talk Page

A couple of things...

If my recent actions went too far, I apologize. I would like to ask for some clarification on the "abolish portals" page that you set up. Is the vote set up so that the two options are to 'remove portals and use category pages instead' and 'keep portals'? I'm currently neutral, with the fact that maybe redesigning portals be an option as some of the talk has been on that page, but I am uncertain if it falls in either category. Somewhat seems to be in the middle. Please reply on my talk or drop me an IRC memo when you can.

Also, regarding the recent craze over your current position as network director, I have to admit I'm somewhat responsible for this, but the key thing is, I added a topic in the council that would discuss possibly "setting goals" for the wiki so we have a general idea of what we might want to accomplish in the next year. Could you possibly give some feedback on that? Thanks. --LordMaster96 05:15, 20 November 2012 ( UTC)

Hello

Hello Seahorse, Vicyorus here, and I want to ask you to read this, it's a formal apologize for my incorrect acts, and by no way I'm seeking to be un-banned from the chat (cause I can simply do what I did to evade the 1st ban). Vicyorus.

FLOOD?!?

What on earth is a right called "flood" because I saw several users who got the right, "Flood". Could you tell me what the right means?

About Shops widgets

The SWFCabin widgets were there because we didn't have any other place to upload SWF files back then. We now have better places to do that which don't have malware or spam in them.

MediaWiki:Shoutwiki-loginform-tos

Hi Sea,
I noticed a global deletion of MediaWiki:Shoutwiki-loginform-tos. Please note that the 2 link in their end have spaces between the words instead of an underscore ( _ ).
I also though it would be nice if the links also have titles (such as title="Terms of Use" and title="Privacy Policy").
Thank you for your attention,

Hello,

The staffs in the Picture Department, decided to close this project due to some reasons. So, we request you to remove it from the sidebar, since it is not longer an active project.

Thank you, --Wolfgangs ^(Talk) 15:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I do agree with the template removing from Templates page, but i wont remove templates from my user page because my userpage will be protected when userspace edits go over 40% but if there are templates i wont edit userpage i edit templates!

• P.S. I am not angry of the deletion of Template:CouncilInvite, and you may delete Template:CouncliWelc too, because that was a joke.

Lol. So you're basically you're trying to trick the system by editing templates if/when your userpage gets protected? Cp kid Wanna Talk? 17:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Little too far?

Hi Sea. I've seen some blocks lately that seem like they're going over-the-edge a little.

1. Special:Contributions/Immahusky- Blocked for 3 months because he/she removed something they thought could be vandalism? That seems pretty harsh.

2. Special:Contributions/27.54.182.157- Blocked for 6 months because they blanked 1 page. Now it COULD have been vandalism, or it could've been a newbie trying to actually say that the page was nice.

Both of the users have only made 1 edit, and in both cases they might not have been trying to do anything harmful, so their blocks seem to extreme IMO. I thought after one offense people are supposed to get a warning? Then get blocked for a /short/ time if they do it again (like a week first time). So if you could unblock them and give them a warning/explanation or just shorten their block, i'd really appriciate it. I'm asking you about this because as I said, it seems way too extreme for new users who might not have actually been vandalizing. Thank you. Cp kid Wanna Talk? 23:18, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

I'll shorten the first one to 1.5 months, even though it's probably a vandalism only account which is supposed to be indefinite... --Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs)} 23:35, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey

Hey! yeah, nice to see you here and be back, even if I'm just making small edits (I won't actually be playing CP).

yeah, I gathered that's why the change happened. That new wikia skin is horrible. Do you guys have any strife/friction with the other wiki, at all?-- Barkjon  Complaints here! 22:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

oh, and just to clarify, I probably won't be on the IRC. My Wi-Fi at home is weird, and certain websites are blocked, the IRC being one of them. oh well! if you need to get in contact with me, just leave a message on the talk!  Barkjon  Complaints here! 22:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

haha, sorry for another message, but it's the actual site you use (freenode.net). Barkjon  Complaints here! 22:12, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

huh. that kinda sucks. anyways, how's the fanon wiki running? I was one of the founding members there too (picked it up when it had, like, 20 pages) and grew it. Eventually left, though, because other people had more time/creativity than me and it got so complex.

yeah, just checked out the archives place. pretty dang cool.

so yeah, I think I'll be coming back to the wiki. I probably still won't be playing CP so I can't contribute as much as I'd like too, but I'll still make formatting/grammar/punctuation/whatever edits, and stuff.-- Barkjon  Complaints here! 20:25, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Archive pages

Hi Sea. I've been working on archiving those CPW pages, except some are protected. So, if you'd like me to do the following pages then please un-protect them. However, you might want to just do them yourself so you wouldn't have to protect them again? Whatever you choose please let me know.

Note: Some of them just need a template, while others need to be moved (Project:Archive/), and some need both.

• Project:Club Penguin SoundWave
• Project:Community Suite- Not sure if this should be archived or if it will be used in the future.
• Project:Final Logo
• Project:Merger Deal
• Project:Remove patroller right
• Project:Resignation
• Project:Save UNCP
• Project:Sourcing Drive- Not sure if this is supposed to be archived, or if this is considered a current project still.
• Project:The Move Off Wikia
• Project:Wall of Fame Issue

Also, I think I saw most of the Project pages. SO if you'd like to double check and do whatever, that'd be fine :P However, a suggestion I have would be do "WhatLinksHere" for all the redirects to the articles I/whoever moved, then delete the redirects after you fix the "WhatLinksHere" to shorten the list of project pages.

IRC Cloak

Hi Sea. I remember a few months ago I asked you if you could get me a cloak, but apparently both of us forgot about that. So, could you possibly get me a cpw/network cloak now? Maybe it could be like Sharks with the admin/clubpenguinwiki, but instead it could be user/CPWN or something if you want to clarify that i'm not staff or anything (I'd like a network cloak if possible since I do or have edited on every wiki, but if you prefer that I have a CPW cloak I wouldn't complain any :P) Thanks for your help :) Cp kid Wanna Talk? 01:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

The unused images and not licensed images

Hello Seahorse,

I have noticed that there are many unused images in this wiki, so I'm really interested in handling them. I want to add the ones which can be used to the suitable article and remove the unneeded one. I don't want to sound like a guy who is right-thirsty or something, but can you give me the patrollers right temporary again, to do this mission? As soon as I finish you can demote me again. If I'm not wrong a patroller can delete images, so this can be handy for me. If you disagree, I won't argue since it's your right to reject.

Thank you, --Wolfgangs ^(Talk) 13:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey Seahorse, I've been on CPW on and off for the last couple of years. I just rejoined (under Salteroi, my very old username!) and I wanna try to become more active. I have noticed that I am the only Aussie on here (?) and I also notice I can edit while all you North Americans are asleep. Seeing as you're an admin, I was wondering if there are any big projects I can help with? Trust me, I am eager to help! Cheers, Salteroi PS. Please, I dunno if you remember, but I was one of the most, uh, disliked (?) users on the wiki. That is all past me. Honestly. Salteroi (talk) 10:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki edit tools

Hi Sea. I was thinking about creating this on Archives (with different stuff, maybe a few common tags and such). However, if I create it and I realize it isn't really needed or I don't like it, I was wondering if just blanking or deleting it would fix everything (i'm assuming it would be fine, but I figured I'd ask anyways since I don't know a lot about that stuff)? Thanks for the help :) Cp kid Wanna Talk? 04:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Also, is there any chance you can make this template look like this? I'm pretty sure it's something that accompanies the ambox somewhere along the line (not the ambox itself because if I remember correctly I copied it right from the CPW) but idk what. So i'm hoping you might know how to find what's wrong or make an easy fix (but if not it's ok :P). Thanks, Cp kid Wanna Talk? 05:06, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Need your opinion

Hi Sea. Since archives doesn't have a very large community to help me with decisions, I figured i'd ask you and a few other people your opinions on an issue i'm having. Since May, Mario has used the licensing thing as a categorization system rather than for licensing, and it kinda aggravates me. I let him continue doing it because I figured I could deal with it later (since now i'm working on other things), but I just realized that we do have HotCat on archives, so why not use that instead? Anyways though, I was just wondering your opinion on the matter. Cp kid Wanna Talk? 06:35, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Nuisances on the Fanon

Hello Sea.

I apologize on contacting you on such poor conditions, but there are several threats in general to me and the stability of our sister wiki. Over the past hour, I have been getting messages from Slender on the "overthrowing of Swiss and TS." I for one do not take into mind such, as the majority of the "revolutionaries" are either banned or are just people who don't like our policies. I explained to them several times as to why I don't hold votes ALL the time, and said that "too much democracy is bad, too little is the same amount." I have even been taking "voting" into heights with almost every single action that is supposed to help the wiki there, i.e: my rpg game proposal, off site story storage, etc.

I do not know what they want exactly, be that either every ban be voted on (which is ridiculous), and I am trying to make the CPFW like this wiki in terms of how power is distributed. This isn't helping to my main goal as an admin on that wiki.

If you want to learn more as to who is involved, or how/why they are doing this, please contact me on IRC at 3pm - 12am PST. Thanks for helping (if you can) -Wonderweez ^{(Talk · Contribs)} 07:48, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Social header addition

Hi Sea. When I saw that the headers would be tested on fanon as well, it gave me the idea/reminded me about the friend things they had on there, I I was thinking it would be a good idea for the new headers as well if it's possible. In case you don't know what i'm talking about- on the old fanon social header, they had buttons to add friends and/or enemies. So, I was hoping maybe you could try to work with that in beta and see if it could work with the simplified header. It popped in my head as a good idea when I saw the headers on fanon a few days ago, and I saw the "add this user to your buddy list"- it reminded me that CP has buddy lists and such (and that's why I thought it was a good idea :P). Anyways, it's just an idea I had, and the decision's up to you so you could just ignore it if you want, but I was hoping you could at least try it right now since the header system is in beta.

Congrats

Hi Sea. I figured I should congratulate you on this momentous occasion, your quinquennial of joining the wiki (yes, I googled that word lol). Here's to a few more years of Seahorses.

On a completely different note, I figured I should give you something while i'm here.

Sir, you have indeed earned this award. In the 3+ years that I've been here, you and I haven't talked all that much. However, i'm glad to say that over the past few months our relationship has getting better (don't take that the wrong way).

For most of your wiki life, you have had some form of responsibility. In 2009, only 3 months after you joined the wiki you were promoted to administrator. In 2010, you and Tigernose cleansed the wiki of its Webmasterism, reformed most things into what we know today such as the policy, and became bureaucrats for your efforts. Later that year, you were part of the move from Wikia to our humblr little site, and since then you have held more responsibility than anyone. Originally you were only the CEO (to my knowledge), which is a hard job in and of itself, but now it has come to the point where you maintain the network as well, via payment for the site and technical support.

While I sometimes wonder about your qualifications for this job, and if you make the right decisions in certain situations, I nonetheless understand that it must be a stressful position to be in, and that you are acting on your better judgement and doing the best you can. I have also learned through shops that you can't please everyone, so I can have some empathy for that.

You said you weren't 18 yet, but I suspect you must be close since you said you were over COPPA when you joined the wiki (from what I remember). Either way, I am grateful that you've stayed here as long as you have and have led the network as well as you have. As an almost legal adult, i'm sure your life is very jam packed, so i'm also quite happy that you're sticking around a place like this to keep it, and our dreams, alive. Obviously, at this point our network would crumble without you, so it should be ever in your debt.

So, in conclusion, I do indeed respect you. Not only for the great things you've done for the CPW and the network, but for sticking around to see it until the end. Even though we don't talk that much, I do know that if I ever need your help or advice for something important you'll be there, which I respect and appreciate on many levels.

Thank you for everything you've done for the Club Penguin Wiki, the CPWN, and for me.

So, know that if you ever need my help, I will assist you in any way I can. Happy quinquennial. CK 23:02, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Question

Why don't .gifs appear in galleries or thumbnails? Furthermore, how can I display them on pages? CK 05:31, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Make an SSH keypair (pls)

Keypairs are a lot more secure (and simpler) than passwords

1. Grab PuTTYgen if you don't. 2. Generate a keypair. 3. Give it a passphrase if you want - this adds more security. 4. Save the private and public key. 5. You can copy the public key in the box like this:

$ mkdir .ssh
$ chmod 700 .ssh
$ nano authorized_keys # paste the key into this file
$ chmod 600 authorized_keys

Once done, log out and log in from PuTTY - you can select the private key from Connections->SSH->Auth, or use Pageant so you don't have to retype the passphrase. --refractor 19:31, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Image licensing on Portuguese Wiki

Hello,

I am an administrator on the Portuguese version of Club Penguin Wiki. I tried to ask this question to Lipe, but he told me he didn't know the answer, so it would be better to talk with you.

Basically, most of Portuguese Wiki users don't add licensing to the images they upload. Is there a way to make the selection of a license required when uploading a file?

Thank you, --Juca (discussão/talk) 22:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

• Hello. Actually, we have an "I don't know the license" option, which generates a template, but most users leave the "None selected" option, so no template is generated. Adding a template for "None selected" option would be another solution. --Juca (discussão/talk) 15:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Enabling seealso on protocol

RE:RE:Errors

Hello,

Thank you for fixing the errors. I hope they don't show up again. By the way, I was also talking to you on the topic "Image licensing on Portuguese Wiki" that most users from the Portuguese Wiki leave the "None selected" option selected while choosing a license, when uploading images. We already have an "I don't know the license" option, which generates a template, but "None selected" generates no template. So I was wondering if it would be possible to remove "None selected" option or to add a template for it.

Best regards, --Juca (discussão/talk) File:PinFutebol.PNG 16:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hello Seahorseruler,

How are you? Sorry to bother, but I want to tell that the vandalism done by anonymous users or registered users has been increasing lately, especially at times when no admins nor rollbacks are present. If you check my contribution page, you will see that I reverted one edit on July 5, at a time when there is no one present and even on July 6. Well, maybe you should promote one rollback, just suggesting though. I know it is not a big issue, but just telling you in case if you are not aware.

Thank you, --Wolfgangs ^(Talk) 21:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate username at Club Penguin Wiki Português

Hello Seahorseruler,

An user at the CPW Português created its account with an inappropriate username. The account is already blocked, but its username is still visible on the revision history of an article.

We are currently having a problem while updating the logo of Club Penguin Wiki Português. We have already reverted the party logo to the normal one, but it doesn't update.

CPWN Global IRC bans

Since Freenode recently enabled the $j extban type, I would suggest creating a global bans system for the CPWN. Here's how it could work:

• A channel (#ClubPenguinWiki-GlobalBans) where we could ban unwanted people on the network's channels (E.g. Catali/TCPS100, Spydar007 etc...)
• Then, on all the network channels, we could do the following: "/mode +b $j:#ClubPenguinWiki-GlobalBans" which would then ban everyone on the GlobalBans channel automatically on the network channels.
• As an addition, I think the network ban lists would probably need a bit of cleaning as well, as some channels have useless bans that are overrided by other bans. For example, the CPW channel has *!*@gateway/web/irccloud.com/* and *!uid13584@gateway/web/irccloud.com/* and *!uid13584@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-aqzvadaogvbmongl banned which is totally unneeded. To ban unwanted people from IRCCloud, all we have to do is ban the part with the uid - this can remove awkward situations where our users cannot reach our channel because IRCCloud is banned. As well as IRCCloud, a lot of other free BNC providers have their cloaks banned multiple times, for example - *!*@gateway/shell/bouncerstation/* and *!*@gateway/shell/bouncerstation/x-jzxcuwmjhcvzbnwp. There's also a lot lot lot lot of *!*@gateway/shell/bnc4free/x-(id) bans, which could be solved by banning *!*@gateway/shell/bnc4free/* instead of banning every ID one by one.

Just a suggestion. --Proud to be Estonian! Snowstormer ^{Talk • Contributions} 13:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

You might be interested in this, Isai memoed it to me earlier. --Proud to be Estonian! Snowstormer ^{Talk • Contributions} 10:55, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Just to mention, the IP is a proxy which uses Elion, an Estonian ISP, however the proxy doesn't trace to Estonia and it's location is unknown. --Proud to be Estonian! Snowstormer ^{Talk • Contributions} 10:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

As well as that, many people (including Penstubal) suggest Spydar007 could be behind this. So I compiled a little list about him:

Spydar007

Facts that support

• Isai mentioned that Spydar said he could hack the CPWN
• Isai's talk page on the Orain wiki mentiones names that Spydar knows from the CPWN
• He acts a bit shady when talking about the incident

Facts that don't

• Isai is known to make up things
• Spydar is not too advanced with technology
  • For example, his site mentions that he is a "Professional Jailbreaker" and he has said he doesn't like using Linux
    • Yes, he has an IRC network, but it's built up on someone else's server
• Spydar is ~15 or 16.

Please re-enable Wikilog and Widgets

Hello Seahorseruler,

I don't know if this was intentional or a bug, but yesterday Wikilog (needed for the Administration's Blog) and Widgets (needed for polls, share buttons, some YouTube videos) disappeared from Club Penguin Wiki Português. Since they are very important to CPWPT, I would like to ask you if there is a way to re-enable them.

Shops Widgets

Hi Sea! I was just wondering how long it would be before Shops' widgets are re-enabled? Usually I wouldn't mind the widgets being down due to inspection, or whatever, but usually on Shops music brings a certain liveliness to our parties and events. So, since Halloween is coming up rather fast (as well as an event on Shops to go with it), I was hoping that the music widgets could be re-enabled before then. I know you're busy, and I get that, but I just figured I would ask and see what you say. Thanks a ton, --CK 06:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Call to arms

Hey Sea. I wanted to say that, I think you and HP should discuss and pass topic four on the council, bypassing the meeting process. Since you're both b-crats, I think that seems like a fair move, to be able to pass topics if they are positive and both parties agree.

I think this really needs to be done because... the council's dead. I know, I know, It's hard to organize meetings and get everyone on at once and decide upon anything, but it's pretty much been a year. Now, I'm not saying to take the easy way out and schedule a meeting, I'm saying that it would be a good idea to pass topic #4 and revamp the council. It would be beneficial for everyone- nobody has to stay up till 2 AM their time to get to a wiki meeting(*cough* Europeans *cough*), nobody would have to wait a year to get results on a topic, morew people would be able to take part since everyone on the wiki would have access, and we could all still discuss the topics as we would in a meeting.

My personal idea for a council reboot would be similar to the council we have on shops. Ours died long ago as well, but earlier this year we revived it in a new style. People can post their topics there, and the wiki has two weeks to discuss it and/or vote on it. Overall, I know you might not want to bypass the usual process, but I think it'd be the best thing for everyone, I don't see why anyone would object). Make sure you have a discussion with HP and you two can come to your own conclusion. Also after the revival, any other topics currently on the council could be carried over to the new style of on-wiki voting.

On another note, I was wondering if it was ok to set up a vote or something on the CPW that could be network-wide. A vote for all the network's users to discuss the possibility of a CPWN Wall of Fame. I've brought this up numerous times before, and I noticed Juca also added it to the CPW council. However, I think it would be best if a separate vote was set up so that everyone on the network could be a part of the decision, since it would involve everyone if it was passed. I don't care where this vote would be, a project page, a page under CPWN:, something in my userspace, whatever. Just please let me know. The vote would only cover the topic of having a network wall of fame, not any inductees- that could be decided later.

Oh yeah, bye 2014, you sucked. Here we come 2015! (Aka Happy New Year) Yes I also forgot to update my sig but I will do so now. CK Merry Christmas 02:59, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

• I also noticed that the link to MediaWiki "more info" was removed from the notifications. Is there a way to do it at Club Penguin Wiki PT? --Juca (discussão/talk) 22:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Juca. The avatar system is still experimental and is not ready to be rolled out to other wikis. We are currently developing a shared avatar system that will allow you to upload an avatar on one wiki and have it appear on all of the others. We hope to have this working in the near future. Per your request, I have added a line to Vector.css on PT that will hide the more info link. You may need to clear your cache to see the change.

Two things

I hate to keep bothering you Sea, but this time it's admin stuff rather than staff stuff :D

Both actually pertain to Ideas...

• First, A while ago (2013 or 2014) I made two experimental logo designs for ideas-

  

  Design 1

  

  Design 2

Considering that the Ideas logo still has CP's 2012 logo on it I figured it could use an update. So, if you like either of those give me feedback! Maybe I could tweak it a bit to better fulfill your requests, or you could whip something up yourself (I think that's the CP Lightbulb Pin).

• Second, I was wondering if you could create a page or group of pages for stamp ideas, since it doesn't look like we have any (and that could be a very vivid area even though CP's lazy with stamps).
• And not really a request, but I wanted to reiterate my opinion that I still think Ideas could use a whole makeover, a refresher to liven it up and maximize user involvement!

Thanks for the help! As for the shops request, it looks good so far (+4, no against), and it seems like it's ok for Admins to promote people too. CK 08:13, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Ideas history merge

I just noticed that there's no page for the Stadium on ideas, but there are two pages for the ICe Rink and Soccer Pitch.

So, could you create Ideas:Stadium with Ideas:Ice Rink and Ideas:Soccer Pitch, and use Special:MergeHistory whenever you need to to make them all into one page? Then, fix the links wherever they might be (probably just Template:IdeasList)? Thanks :D CK 00:12, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
