Hey- how do you make a new page? Le Roi 03:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the category, Ezporsche! Rps eagleforChrist 01:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Framing Images
From an initial investigation into the subject, it appears that the "thumb" setting for an image creates a frame with a caption. I had set my image to a size instead of using "thumb", so the frame and caption disappeared. Rps eagleforChrist 00:40, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

OK. One can use both the "thumb" attribute and a size to control the width and border of the image. Perfect! Rps eagleforChrist 00:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Inactive
Is this wiki inactive? Who would be most suitable to obtain and use adminship? --I Ross I 03:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Great!, I am thinking of adding my knowledge of RCT1 to the wiki as well. Have you made an adoption request yet? --I Ross I 20:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Here is the link http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia:Adoption_requests make sure you meet all (or the majority) of the requirements, also explain how the current admin is inactive and the wiki is in need of a sysop and crat. Good luck, --I Ross I 21:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Waiting months to do this doesn't sound like a good idea to me, perhaps if I were to meet the requirements with the adoption request, would you be bothered if I were to make the request for myself. If you are still around when (if) I receive the admin and 'crat tools I would be more than willing to make you an admin. Also, is there anyone else we should be discussing these issues with (someone that still edits here)? --I Ross I 20:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with all this, I will be happy to make you an admin once this all happens, because I know you deserve it. I am currently working towards achieving the requirements and hopefully will have them completed, I have done this before so I have some experience on how this works, sadly it will take some time though. I also plan on getting in touch with Eagle (i think that's who you said) about whats going to happen and I'm sure that they will be more than willing to assist. One last thing, expect some changes in colors on this wiki, all great wikis have a logo, skin, and favicon which I will work with a wikia helper to get done. I plan on communicating with additional helpers and staff members, hoping they take in interest in the wiki. Thanks again, --I Ross I 00:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Adoption Request
I have went ahead and made an adoption request, hopefully I will get accepted. There isn't an exact time frame but its added and that is all that matters. I'm afriad they will make me wait for a few more weeks but I think my track record will shorten the time, as long as I keep contributing to the wiki the faster things will get done. Hope your not to busy over the weekend to help out, we should be getting that logo by Monday. --I Ross I 23:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Powers
As per Ross' request, you are now a Bureaucrat. -- RCT Fan

You're welcome, enjoy! -- RCT Fan

Re: Cheats
Yes, actually go ahead and make the pages into redirects to one page for that cheat. Example: Simon Foster cheat would be made into a redirect (add #REDIRECT InsertPageName) and then add that cheat to the redirected page. You should probably make a cheat page for each game, 1,2,3 including the expansion packs if they have a specific cheat. So, go ahead and start that. ATM, I am very busy so I can't help sorry.--I Ross I 01:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi
I don't think we've crossed paths when editing this wiki. Just thought I'd introduce myself to you. I'm Matt 20 1. And this wiki's been quiet lately. Are there anything in paritcualr you want me to do?

Re: Discussion
Hmm, I don't think we need to create a page for a general discussion because we already have one. You can simply use the Community Portal to dicussion important topics on the wiki. The Forums, which you say haven't worked, are for random discussion about the wiki, like "How to beat Forest Frontiers". I'm not 100% sure if I am correct but that is what I would do anyway. You can also rename the Community Portal a new name. Ex. Call of Duty Wiki:War Room or Runescape Wiki:Yew Grove. Something that pertains to the series. idk, hope this helps. --I Ross I 22:27, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I Ross I is probably right i saying that we should use the Community Portal, but honestly, I wouldn't mind making the page.--Matt 20 1 07:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * After I did some checking, I was actually wrong, the community portal is more for links to important pages. It was actually the Watercooler in forums, that is what you are looking for. But, if you think it would be easier to use the community portal I can't see why not. But yah, my bad. --I Ross I 17:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yah, it isn't really a big deal. Although, we should fix it, if/when we become a medium/large wiki with a large user database with new editors. For now though, it doesn't matter. Keep up the good work, --I Ross I 17:53, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Admin user page
Hey, just wanted to let you know, because you are an admin of the wiki, I would highly recommend protecting your user page because it seems to be a high target for vandals. I would at least recommend making it autoconfirmed if you don't feel comfortable with Sysop only. Just wanted to let you know that tip. --I Ross I 00:16, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Scenario Guides
I'm using walkthroughs by Game FAQs and IGN just to complete the articles, since I have RCT no more and I'll buy RCT3 next week. Juan Rodrigues 01:14, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

RE
I will, but in two weeks from now, when I buy RCT3 Deluxe Edition. A question, do you know if it comes with Soaked and Wild? And can you please try to find a picture of the "Build A Ride" tab with both of those?

Thanks a lot. Juan Rodrigues 01:56, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * The button where you choose what kind of ride you'll buy for your park. Thanks! Juan Rodrigues 20:59, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Parallels to real world?
Should there be a section on each roller coaster/ride page that gives its real-world equivalent (where applicable)? Every roller coaster in the series (with the exception of the themed coasters in RCT2's expansions) was at least proposed in the real world at one point. (Actually, I'm not sure about the Splitting Coaster, but all of the others I know were.) I would like to help with this. Give me a shout! --Malon Cremia 20:45, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Award
No worries. You've done SO MUCH on this wiki! You're the only person so far to even pass 400 edits.--Matt 20 1 05:45, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
I really like your new RCT3 images. --Matt 20 1 00:14, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * yeah, did it not work?--Matt 20 1 02:53, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Administrator
Thanks a ton for the admin status! I know I used to be a really active user mainly during the summer, though with the advent of school I haven't been able to do so much anymore. I will however try to be here more often and make good use of my powers. Thanks again, Ezporsche! Chozo01 01:43, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
