User talk:Mysteria Femina

Welcome
I'm glad you were able to make an account.

In case you haven't tried it yet, the Chronology (the parts that are complete) are very useful for finding comics to link to. I use both searching inside the Wiki and Google searches for "Girl Genius ..." (I've used both techniques today). Argadi 00:12, October 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh the problem wasn't knowing where pages are. I meant that I didn't have the time to go through and link them with my edit. Usually I'm pretty good at finding what I want straight from the Foglio's main Girl Genius site.


 * By the way, would you happen to know what would cause Wikia to automatically log you out in the middle of creating a page? I had just finished creating a new theory for the forum and hit 'Publish' when it told me I couldn't make a new page without an account, and when I checked my account I found I was logged out. I didn't log out intentionally, so it was very frustrating when I spent all that time making a page just to get logged out before I could publish it. ~Mysteria Femina~ 02:10, October 13, 2011 (UTC) 02:10, October 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * It could have been a web server restart on the Wikia side, but that shouldn't happen very often. If you can check the "keep me logged in" box when you log it you only get asked for your password every couple of months. (Actually, accidentally clicking "Log out" could also do it, but that's hiddin in a drop-down list and hard to do accidentally.) Argadi 08:55, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Custom Signature
See User_talk:Rej_Maddog for my reply http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 04:44, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

I see you got around to the custom signature. When you are linking using single brackets the | bar is not needed and will get in the way. Just leave a space between the url and the text you want to show. When using double brackets the bar is needed. Easiest way to find these things out on a wiki is just experiment. Glad to see you game for a little mad science. 04:06, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hehe. This thing is kind of kicking my butt. If you would like to, you can take what I have and clean it up, then put the cleaned-up version right here. Until I finish fixing it, I'm reverting back to my old signature. I'm flying by the seat of my pants with these codes... I based mine off of this one: Vulmen  ( talk  •  EoK ) But I've made a lot of changes since I first started. I think I'll go back and start from the beginning.

What I'm trying to do is link my name to my profile, link my talk page as "talk," and link my Avatar Wiki talk page as "Avatar talk," with my name in Viner Hand ITC and with the talk links in smaller font, and all of it in the color "deepskyblue." It was fine until I changed one little thing, then my entire signature got screwed up and I can't remember how I had it before. I have the same signature experiment on my Avatar Wiki profile, except I changed the Avatar talk to my talk page here as "Girl Genius talk." I appreciate any help you can give me! ~Mysteria Femina~ 04:28, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

I fixed it. It may not be a professional job, but I did it! Feel free to show me how an expert would do it, though. I'd like to know how to simplify the code a little... Also, is there any way to prevent code from changing into the finished product on a page? If I copy-paste the code for my signature onto a page, no matter what I do it changes into the signature instead of staying code. I want a way to make it stay code on my profile page for ease of future copy-pasting. ~Mysteria Femina~ ( talk  • [Avatar talk]) 05:04, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I made a template! It's so much nicer this way. 20:44, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, so elegant. When I tried my first signature is was so long all the other editors jumped on my case. Twas an uncomfortable time. You've given me an idea. Thanx http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 00:40, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. And what idea has my Sparkiness given you? I want to know. 00:58, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

And I made a shorter signature for subsequent comments after my first post on a page. It seems to me that the full one is a bit long. 01:08, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

See aren't wiki's fun? The idea I got was to have my signature leave the template on the page instead of the detailed markup. My signature is in a template but I use instead of  The first substitutes the markup in the template for the template itself. The second puts the template directly on the page. The differences is if you later change the template the new stuff will appear in the second case but not the first. Since signatures are everywhere one small update could have a large effect on the wiki pages. That used to be a problem and may still be. So I am having second thoughts about my idea. I will wait till I get smarter. But your way is definitely nice to look at in the editor.

 * One tiny hitch I just discovered is that if your not careful copy-pasting (to avoid typing) your template for any edits after your first, you might accidentally copy the wrong template if others are also using a template on the same page. From now on I will always preview before publishing, not just sometimes. 03:23, November 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I was wondering if you found the place in your preferences where you can set your signature then three or four tildas will automatically insert it. To find your preferences mouse over your name (upper right) when logged in. Name>My Preferences>My Info then scroll down to the section on signature. Check the box for custom signature and paste your template there. Cheers http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 03:53, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know about that. My long signature is set as the tildas right now. See here: ~Mysteria Femina~  ( talk  •  Avatar talk ) 04:06, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just like copy-pasting for some reason... 04:06, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
Hello there. :) Dcasawaang1   (talk)  04:01, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

You have Rollback
I don't know if Wikia automatically notifies you, but in case it didn't you now have Rollback permission. Argadi 11:09, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, really? :D When did I get that? I feel... honored. Thanks for letting me know! (And no, Wikia has not notified me, which is why I'm surprised.) 02:10, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

17:57, 28 December 2011 was when it occurred. Discussion in Forum:Administrivia. Argadi 02:41, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hehe... I already found it (using the in-Wiki search bar) shortly before you posted your reply, but thanks for the link! And again, thanks for letting me know. In addition, thanks to whoever put me in for consideration. : ) 02:46, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

The image of Toph's new outfit is still there.T- AvatarFan 04:11, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hehe, you clicked on the wrong link in my signature. Welcome to the Girl Genius Wiki! ^_^ You should read Girl Genius, by the way. It's as amazing as Avatar. 04:15, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

http://images.wikia.com/common/avatars/thumb/2/23/4521003.png/20px-4521003.png Best icon yet
For you. This one seems just right. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 21:10, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Aw, thank you! I decided it was time for a Girl Genius one, and that version of Agatha is quite stunning. I think for my next Girl Genius image I'll do Zeetha. By the way, you're the first person to say anything about this one. (Although I bet it has something to do with the fact that I'm probably the only person on Avatar Wiki who reads Girl Genius, despite my efforts to get new readers.)    03:12, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

That Toph Picture I Wanted To Show You
Well, here's that Toph picture I promised you:

http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee371/MetalArmor/AdultTophStatue.png

Just thought you might find this interesting; I know I did. It also serves to help identify what features Bei Fong probably recieved from Toph and which she probably recieved from her (unknown) father, or at least that's what I've been thinking since I first saw the picture. In any case, I really wanted to have someone to talk to about this particular subject when I am allowed on, which is why I wanted to tell you so badly.

P.S. That recent picture of Toph Seismic Sense posted on the Avatar wiki was not something he made up/modified; he found it soon after we looked at the picture of adult Toph I'm sending you (unfortunately I forget the website's URL). So everything written on there I presume comes from the hand of Gene Yang, if that modifies your views of it any.

Toph's Fanboy 03:08, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Interesting. I like the image; she definitely got those cheekbones from Toph. (I wonder if Bei Fong made the statue herself...) How did you find it? And you can just type "MetalArmor" or "Toph's Fanboy" at the end instead of your signature when talking to me here since your signature doesn't work on this Wiki--or at least it won't work unless you reade the comic, join the Wiki, and make a template here. ^_^ And thanks for answering my question about that other picture as well. 03:14, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
