== Spam accounts ==
== Welcome back ==


Hi Arrow!  Thanks very much for your help trying to block auto-generated accounts.  I just had one question: How are you determining whether an account is a spam account or not?  What I tend to do is look at the IP addresses for each new user, and if I catch one that has two or more accounts created in a recent period of time (a month or two), I flag the accounts.  But if they've only created one, my confidence isn't so high that they are spam because it's too hard to tell.  What method are you using, maybe it's better than mine?  Thanks!

It's been a while, nice to see you around again :) -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 04:59, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
:OK, no problem, I appreciate the effort regardless.  Yeah, I'm always afraid of false positively catching someone up in a sweep, that's why I look for multiple accounts from the same IP.  I added you to the Check Users group so you can use [[Special:CheckUser]].  It's a time consuming process but it can give you greater assurance that you're banning people who have no intention of contributing to the site. I should talk with Prod about improving our captcha process again.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 18:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
:Oh wow, long time no edit! I hope you have time to pull off another featured guide this year. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:34, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
::I've undone this as CheckUser is a very powerful permission that needs to be properly approved first. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 18:31, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
::Yeah, I run into that issue, too. I play a lot of flash games, so I don't work on those, and a lot of times I have a game that I play and don't want to worry about spending time on writing about it, because I want to get through it first! I recommend playing some old classics if you haven't in a while. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:51, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


== For welcomes ==
==So much for the last guide==
It should work fine if you use <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome}}</nowiki>. Then it should properly insert people's names and everything. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 15:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
Got stuck and could never finish it. Fortunately I have another game in my sights now; hoping to outdo one fan wiki and one official wikia. --[[User:Arrow|Arrow Windwhistler]] ([[User talk:Arrow|talk]]) 04:02, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


==Carrier Command 2 uploads==
== Template issue ==
Thanks for using Template:File on your recent uploads. I will ask that you do not add CC-BY SA to the files' license section as they are not eligible for fair use under creative commons. It will automatically be filled as fair use through the inclusion of "Icon" in type (see [[:File:CC2 Achievement PilotsLicense.jpg]]) through a more correct licensing. Thank you!

Sorry I wasn't available when you wanted to do this. First of all, you probably don't want to use a template for such a complex table. I assume each class has their own Categories, Certificate names, and other values. A template is only effective if most of these are the same. For example, medics have Medical Applicator exclusively, and Heavy Assault has Munitions Pouch. Since they don't both have them, you'd have to come up with a way to exclude them (you could make exclusive parameters where you have like class=medic and everything specific to the medic appears). The point is, there are only like 8 tables that need to be made and they're all on the same page, so it would be easier to just fill one out, and copy it to the others and modify. If you need help setting up the Medic table, to get one started, let me know. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 19:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
It looks like you are mostly responsible for the images in [[:Category:Battlestations: Pacific images]]. Did you capture all of these yourself, or were some taken from other places? Just trying to pat down a source before I mess with em all. Thanks. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 04:49, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 
:Same for [[:Category:Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos images]], actually. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 04:51, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
:I forgot to say the most important part, which you pointed to in your response. I find that starting with just a table and expanding it to the other areas will help you identify whether or not a template would work. For example, after you copy a table, how much does it have to be modified? Do rows need to be added? Do rows need to be split? The hardest part with a template is filling in all of these little nuances with parameters and switches. Like I said, if you're only using this about 8 times, and it's all on the same page, it definitely makes more sense to copy/paste. A lot of the names in the second row are the same (but a few differ which throws a curveball in template creation), the first column and row titles are the same, so that will be helpful, but the rest seems entirely class specific (all of the values on the right side). You'd have to have like 6 parameters for each row. Like, 20-50 parameters for one small template (that's nuts!). --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 04:11, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
