The character page is for the character, your user page is for you as a writer. Not sure if your NPC's should really be listed on your character page. See Creation and Upkeep of a Character Page (specifically Character Page vs. User Page) for more info. - Jay^Talk 10:23, 5 August 2007 (CDT)

Ah, thanks. Made the change. It didn't really seem to fit before; thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Not a problem. Part of my role here. Need anything, feel free to drop me a note. And common practice is to sign comments such as these with 4 Tildes (eg ~~~~) which provides a date stamp with your username so we can see who comments and when without looking at the page log. Like so: Jay^Talk 13:00, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Good to know! Let's see.... Yep, there it is! Onewhoisseveral 21:48, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

For the record, the system didn't inform you as it wasn't on your user talk page (that's this page). It'll only tell you of messages here ;) - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 18:28, 16 December 2007 (CST)

Oh! Well, then, I'll have to pay more attention. There isn't a way to receive notifications of discussions on pages beside my talk page in the future, is there? Onewhoisseveral 18:31, 16 December 2007 (CST)

If there is, I don't know of it. You could keep track manually by watching the Talk page though, any edits will appear on "My Watchlist" which you can find top right of your screen, next to your username et al. I'd use it more myself but I watch so much of the wiki that Recent Changes is more useful for me, but I use the watchlist on wikipedia. I hadn't seen your reply on here myself so apologies for the very late response. - Lt.JG Salak^Talk 10:43, 15 January 2008 (CST)

Just bringing Talk:USS Independence-A Master Crew List to your attention - Lt. Salak^Talk 02:42, 29 January 2008 (CST)

External/Interwiki links

I've changed coding for a few of your links recently. I know you put the old coding in a while ago, but curious if you knew about interwiki links? To link to a page on Memory Alpha, just put ma: before the linked article title but otherwise link as normal. For wikipedia, it's wp instead of ma. For example, for the Defiants page on Memory alpha, see ma:USS Defiant. Also, for external links, no pipe is needed as the first space in the code for an external link serves the same purpose as a pipe in the code of an internal or interwiki link. Hope that makes sense :) - Lt. Salak^Talk 20:53, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

I'd just figured it out when I noticed this message, actually! Thank you for letting me know, though - figuring it out was definitely a time-saver. I also hope you don't mind that I've been using your template. It's the best one I've seen, hence why I'm converting them all over. -Onewhoisseveral 20:57, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

Course I don't mind! It's quite encouraging actually, I've seen a few people using it recently. Case you couldn't tell, it actually started off as the ship nav menu template, think it was Template:Wallace to be exact, and I've tweaked it over time :) - Lt. Salak^Talk 21:04, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

See note...

Possessive Apostrophes

They've never been a strong point of mine, lol! Thanks for fixing that one on Klakkr's Drift :) - Lt. Salak^Talk 15:51, 19 May 2008 (EDT)

• No probs. They're kind of like scabs, you know? I see one and I can't help but pick it away (thank you, graphic analogies....) Onewhoisseveral 17:09, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
  • ROFL, great analogy! :D - Lt. Salak^Talk 19:45, 20 May 2008 (EDT)

Previous Assignments

I used blue colours on my Medical History table which might work better for Ventus? Just my 2p. - Lt. Salak^Talk 17:36, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

• Oh, yeah, I like those a lot better. Thanks! Heh heh, I was working through a table of colors and values, just picking ones at random and seeing how they looked ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 21:32, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Categories

Been adding [[Category:SIMs|V]] to the sims that you're putting up to add each to the relevent category. If there are going to be more sims posted on here for Ventu, might be worth setting up another category solely for Ventu sims, similar to Category:Salak SIMs. - Lt. Salak^Talk 19:17, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Okay, you're a bit ahead of me on that one, hehe :) - Lt. Salak^Talk 19:18, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

• Ha ha, I must've been doing it just as you were typing this. Done and done! Great minds, I guess.... ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 19:20, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Hehe, yup :D By the way, have you considered splitting sections off from Ventu, Lily onto new pages? Lily's is the second largest 1-page bio on the whole wiki. (Only Tel-ar, Tal is larger) - Lt. Salak^Talk 19:24, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

• I *was* just thinking about it, actually. Salak's, for example, is a lot more streamlined, and there are definitely enough sub-headings under Lily's that I could do that. I think I'll look into that.... Onewhoisseveral 20:17, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

That's the first time anyone's tried basing a nav on Salak's new one, lol. If you're having trouble anywhere at all, feel free to ask :) - Lt. Salak^Talk 07:33, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

USS Galaxy Profiles

Just double checking that you want USS Galaxy Profiles deleted? It can be restored if you want to retrieve the information for some reason in the future. - Lt. Salak^Talk 15:58, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

• Yeah, it's fine to go. I have all the information saved on my computer, and nothing ever really came of it, so it's pretty much just taking up space now. Thanks for checking, though ^_^ Onewhoisseveral 16:03, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Well it's quite a long article compared to those usually deleted, just wanted to be sure that you'd finished with it. Has been deleted now. - Lt. Salak^Talk 16:22, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Ventu Nav

Had a quick play about with your new Ventu nav, trying to break the central block up a tad, but haven't changed the coding of the actual nav. Came up with the following;

...would have tried to add a background colour on the right, but the patch isn't on a transparant background so it'd have a big white square behind it anyway. I've chopped a load of bolden/unbolden tags out too, a lot of them are redundant (even some I left in quite prob). Tried moving the "Edit this nav" over to the right, below the patch, but not satisfied with any attempts so far. If you don't like the changes, don't feel you have to use it; just trying to give a few options - Lt. Salak^Talk 19:29, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
