Important

Can I give Nordseri one of these? - FROGGER0 13:44, 8 July 2012 (PDT)

I believe not.... -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 13:49, 8 July 2012 (PDT)

A Question

On The Legend Continues page, are those Matoran really Ta-Matoran? Their color doesn't seem right. Could we just lable them Matoran?--FROGGER0 Ribbit 16:46, 22 July 2012 (CST)

You should probably trust the page at this point.... -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 10:15, 23 July 2012 (PDT)

Restoration?

What pages can I restore? I have a good archive link to the Entertainment Hub, could I restore it?--FROGGER0 Ribbit? 23:11, 24 July 2012 (CST)

You can restore any Mainspace Page you want, but I would ask Staff about restoring BIONICLEsector01:[Name] page.ζω·τωμανα•

Template

How do you make a Template? The tutorial isn't here yet.--FROGGER0 Ribbit?! Sig Services 22:05, 24 August 2012 (PDT)

Essentially, if you make anything on a wiki designed specifically so that you can embed it into other pages, then you have a template. You can add parameters to a template, which are things that you can change when you embed the template (for example, where it says {{{toa_image}}} here) by writing what you want to name your parameter like {{{this}}}). Since many templates on BS01 don't adhere to current web standards, please tell me what kind of template you want to make and I can try to make one for you that more closely follows the current standards.

Also, the way that you embed templates changes with what namespace they're in. To embed templates in the Template namespace, such as Template:ToaNav, you can embed it by just writing {{ToaNav}} (without placing the namespace "Template" in front of the name of the template). If you want to embed a page from the main namespace (which has all of the main articles; you can tell that they're in the main namespace because the name of the page doesn't start with a word like "Template," "Talk," etc.), such as the Toa page, you'd have to write {{:Toa}}. For all other pages, you embed them by placing their name as it appears at the top of the page (so if you want to embed BIONICLEsector01:Help, you'd have to put {{BIONICLEsector01:Help}}). -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2012 (PDT)

I was wanting to make and use navigational templates.--FROGGER0 Ribbit?! Sig Services 09:27, 25 August 2012 (PDT)

What do you want it to look like? I can take my newer template code from The Ninjago Wiki and modify it if you want it to look like that, but I might also be able to make it look more like the ones that BS01 (or maybe HS01) uses.... -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 12:45, 25 August 2012 (PDT)

I was thinking more like a BS01 template.--FROGGER0 Ribbit?! Sig Services 10:41, 26 August 2012 (PDT)

Would the ones in my sandbox work? I might modify the code depending on how you use them, and I can also change things such as the amount of rows if you want as well. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 13:21, 26 August 2012 (PDT)

They could both work, but I'd like them better if they were brown.--FROGGER0 Ribbit?! Sig Services 10:53, 27 August 2012 (PDT)

Perfect, thanks!--FROGGER0 Ribbit?! Sig Services 11:06, 27 August 2012 (PDT)

Sandbox

I don't know what exactly you're doing there...

but I like it. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 22:46, 28 February 2013 (PST)

Thanks. It's supposed to go more with the metro theme Swert is trying to introduce than the current infoboxes do. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 07:09, 1 March 2013 (PST)

I like where it's going. I'd like to provide you with "official" images to work with, and to see if we can make this into actual templates. I'd also like to see multi-infobox layout (like the Metru or Mata/Nuva stackups) before I sign off on it. Also, feel free to set the default background color with rgba if you can. -- ^{Owner (talk|contribs)}

Thanks! Looks like Metax is working on a tabber design, so I might just leave that to him. One more thing I was thinking about would be having the names in Matoran underneath the names in Latin text, or maybe they'd appear if you hovered over the Latin text. It would probably require Matoran fonts (Metru and Voya Nui), though. Do you know of a way to take the images we have to turn them into a font? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 20:00, 11 March 2013 (PDT)

Using it as a font would mean people viewing would need have the font enabled on their computer. I've seen somewhere in the recent changes someone working on a template to allow you to write in it by putting the letters in a switch series, but that would be overly complicated in am info template format. ζω·τωμανα•

If we're referring to the same thing, that was me.... We do already have an existing template, but you're right, it'd be too much of a pain to use. We might be able to embed the font, though, like I did with the title font on the infoboxes. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 07:34, 12 March 2013 (PDT)

Dude, that multi-form template thing you're making... AWESOME. LockmanCapulet 19:48, 17 March 2013 (PDT)

We're trying to get sub-tabs (should be doable) so that Tahu can have one for the Golden Armor... that said, he might need his own template =P. Might give Takanuva one too just to eliminate that icky coding, or maybe we can grandfather him into the Toa Nuva template. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 20:28, 17 March 2013 (PDT)

We tried making it so that we could have two even sized tabs underneath three, but it wouldn't work because colspan is obnoxious, hence the presence of "forms" tab. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 11:50, 12 April 2013 (PDT)

I tried changing the colspan to six (the LCM of two and three) and it works now.... -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2013 (PDT)

Hooray! -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 13:17, 13 April 2013 (PDT)

Just thought I'd put in some input about what I think about it, since the wiki isn't (entirely) run by staff. I'm fine with it being a replacement for Template:Toa, but for every character, no. A while back I nominated Template:Vahki for deletion, and one of the arguments against it being deleted was why not just make a Template:Character, and make a switch function for everything, which would be way too complicated. --Vartemp 16:01, 13 April 2013 (PDT)

Technically the wiki IS run entirely by the staff, but, semantics.

Anyhow, based on the new system, it would be less complicated-ish, but for my own preference, I think it'll end up being a series of templates. However, it'd still be easier to condense them; Template:Toa could encompass all kinds of Toa, and we wouldn't need one for specific teams. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 16:28, 13 April 2013 (PDT)

Yeah, if statements would just take up too much space in addition to the 64kb we already have so I think it'd be best if we just stuck with Template:Toa and not Template:Characters. We should finish fixing it up before we move it over, though. In response to the Vahki issue, Vartemp, I'll try to think of something more broad for less used templates like that (maybe Template:Robot could use if functions, for example), but since the wiki already has a lot of character articles with varying infobox information making Template:Characters and changing everything to Template:Characters would take a lot of time and effort and use up a lot more space in both the actual template page and wherever it would be used. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 17:07, 13 April 2013 (PDT)

My proposal when I nominated it was actually to use Template:Robot and do just that. It still got shot down, since it would oversimplify things. --Vartemp 09:23, 14 April 2013 (PDT)

Do you perchance maybe know how to fix tabber on HS01? -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 13:00, 5 August 2013 (PDT)

I'm afraid I don't know offhand, sorry. The new templates don't use Tabber, they use JavaScript what Metax created. Anyway, I think Meiko updated HS01 to MediaWiki 1.19 after you installed Tabber and it requires 1.19, so maybe you just need to reinstall it. If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll try to figure it out. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 13:08, 5 August 2013 (PDT)

Bo-Matoran

The Bo-Matoran template still seems messed up, know how to fix it? - --Tuma1785 (talk) 14:28, 5 August 2013 (PDT)

To-Do list

Admin's the only user right you need, yeh? Since I appear to be giving it out like candy at this point. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 17:48, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

Yeah. No need to if you don't want to, it just might be easier on you guys if I can access the CSS and JS files because then I won't have to ask to change them every time it's necessary. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 19:44, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

Fine with meeeeeeeee. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 20:03, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

And *poof* it's there. Also maybe then you can take a look at Metax's tabber on HS01 too :U -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 20:06, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

Thanks! Regarding Tabber, if nothing else once I get Metax's JS working in Common.js here, I can bring it over to HS01. Tabber's classified as "experimental" so it might not work with the current MediaWiki installation. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 20:13, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Do watcha gotta do. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 21:44, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

I've set it up on here. You can just copy/paste the bottom block of code in MediaWiki:Common.js to HS01's Common.js file and it can serve as something to start with. However, since Heroes have so many forms now some work will be needed. Metax was the one who coded it, so you might want to ask him, but I might be able to work on it if you want, too. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 22:37, 6 August 2013 (PDT)

You can do whatever you want, man. That's the magic of sysops.

Also what's the difference in the navs? -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 09:42, 18 August 2013 (PDT)

They're all vector files, so it doesn't look blurry on high-resolution (for example, Retina) displays. Also, it scales way better on smaller displays: here's a comparison of the current (top) and new (bottom) ones at the same window size. Just as a side note, the font's different too, but that's because the current one (Segoe UI) is distributed in Windows and the one I'm using (Open Sans) is free on Google Web Fonts. It looks about the same, besides the lowercase "g"s. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 09:58, 18 August 2013 (PDT)

Fine with me. Make it happen cap'n. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 11:11, 18 August 2013 (PDT)

If you do have time, could you try and make the tabber (custom whatever) function work on HS01? Metax is mildly AWOL/really busy, so it's just kinda chilling and not doing anything, and it's the only really huge thing that needs doing. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 22:17, 7 September 2013 (PDT)

I can try and get it working at some point, but it'll require some JS in Common.js. I'll have to modify the code here to handle five sections (we've only needed four on here), but then you can just copy/paste the code into HS01's Common.js and you won't have to give me admin rights there. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 08:58, 8 September 2013 (PDT)

Sorry I didn't get to it sooner, but it looks like Metax has a handle on things on HS01. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 12:56, 15 September 2013 (PDT)

Not a problem, it's all good now. Everything is as it should be. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 15:44, 15 September 2013 (PDT)

Nav templates

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention since you're the one who's reformatting the infobox templates. I think the infoboxes are making the navs align to the left somehow. I tried to fix it myself, but it's been too long since I've really worked on complicated wikicode. Do you think you could try it yourself? --Vartemp 12:37, 11 August 2013 (PDT)

Both the navs and the old infoboxes moved to the left because they were relying on old code to stay on the right, and the version of MediaWiki we're running on how doesn't support it anymore. I'll try to whip up a new design eventually, but I'd rather get all the infoboxes out of the way before starting on something new. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 12:46, 11 August 2013 (PDT)

Sooo

How would I make prettytable make this work? -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 18:33, 19 August 2013 (PDT)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question. Do you want all the rows to be the same width regardless of how many items are in them? If so, I think if you have colspan="3" for each item in the first five rows and colspan="2" for each item in the bottom one it'll work. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 20:56, 19 August 2013 (PDT)

I'm just not sure where precisely to put colspan =P. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 21:12, 19 August 2013 (PDT)

I ended up editing the table just because it's sort of hard to describe, but maybe it'd showing an example would work. If the below were a table cell, here's where it would go:

|colspan="3"|Cell content

If you need help changing anything else, let me know. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:51, 19 August 2013 (PDT)

Haha, that'll do for now, thanks. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 22:01, 19 August 2013 (PDT)

So how would I make the cells adjust to fit the images properly? (I feel like I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. Is their a better solution to tables?)

(Also Venom Eeel is a creature)

(Also also good job with those fake Hagah)

-- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 19:41, 20 August 2013 (PDT)

You could readjust the colspans, as long as the image and name cells' colspans still add up to six (so two for image and four for name, for example). Then, you would have to set the colspan of the description cell to that of the name cell. If you don't want to use tables, you could use divs with style="display:inline-block;", which makes an object that takes up a block of space but stays inline so it doesn't move other objects assuming they're not in the way. If you want to center something inside the inline-block div, you would add the text-align:center; style as well. Also regarding the Venom Eel, I wasn't quite sure because the article calls it a Rahi and says it's related to the Lava Eel, which is a Rahi. I'll use Template:Creature for now, but when I get the chance I'll double-check my updated Encyclopedia. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:08, 20 August 2013 (PDT)

Might switch to divs, since that appears to give a bit more freedom, but I'll figure it out (or cry when I need more help).

The bit about them being related to Lava Eels is basically a misconception in the BIONICLE universe, if I remember right. After the reveal that Rahi and Creatures are completely different types of beings, the Venom Eel fell into the latter category. -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 22:29, 20 August 2013 (PDT)

Toa Hagah

Hello. I know that you have remove CGI photos of the Toa Hagah. I didn't knew that those images were made by fans , so it's okay if I upload the images in the Gallery:Toa Hagah/Rahaga, specifying that aren't official?

P.S. I'm not so good in English, and I used Google Translate, sorry :).--Greg Hansenson (talk) 00:54, 24 August 2013 (PDT)

No problem, I understand. I typed "Toa Hagah" into Google Images and that group picture you uploaded was the first thing to pop up. Anyway, we try to keep all of our content official, even in the galleries, so you shouldn't upload them again. I appreciate your effort to improve the wiki though! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 08:20, 24 August 2013 (PDT)

Thank you. Last question: there is an appropriate gallery for the images made by fans? I should put the CGI of Toa Hagah in that album writing something like "Unofficial image of all six Toa Hagah, made by a fan". It's just an idea, but if you think I shouldn't upload the images again, there is no problem.--Greg Hansenson (talk) 09:40, 26 August 2013 (PDT)

There isn't a gallery for fan made content, sorry. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 11:04, 26 August 2013 (PDT)

Templates

If you fix them all in one fell swoop, I'll feel puny and powerless... but that's okay! Also this page will probably need to be updated/fixed soon with all the template changes that have been made. ζω·τωμανα•

Huh, does the auto width need to stay? or does it matter?ζω·τωμανα•

I've set it so it should replace everything eventually (normally it performs edits faster than the speed it's going at now), so we'll just have to wait and see how it does. At this point, I'm not really sure what to do regarding the Information Templates page. I've actually been using it as a reference to see which templates I've changed so far, so I'd want to wait until everything's done before I make any changes to it. If I were to redo it, I'd want to make it a much more comprehensive page (there are lots of templates it doesn't list); however, by that same token, it probably doesn't do much good having so many templates embedded into one page. Regarding the width, as far as I'm aware it's okay. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 20:40, 20 October 2013 (PDT)

Mmk. You should probably set it to also just remove the align="center"'s out there. Some of them are not at the start, I've noticed, so the pages like that will probably slip by. ζω·τωμανα•

Can you fix the align of the policy nav? It should be on the left. It be protected. I'm also not gonna touch the setsnav, that one I have no clue what all needs replacing to fix it, confounded compounded templates.ζω·τωμανα•

I moved PolicyNav to the right... I'm assuming that's what you meant, if not let me know and I'll change it again. As for SetsNav, I think I'll just fix it later on when I go back around to change the navigation templates. It, along with most if not all the other navigation templates, is very much out-of-date from a web standards point of view, so I think if it takes more than a basic find/replace to fix it it's not worth spending too much time on it now when I'll have to go fix everything later anyway. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:10, 20 October 2013 (PDT)

Yeah, I meant 'right'... I'm bad at directions >_<

Mmk, let me know if there is any grunt work to be done when you do. It's nice to randomly devote at least a few minutes to the wiki every now and then. ζω·τωμανα•

Template:P

Where do we actually use that? The only thing I could think of would have been the Parent-Page thing at the top of pages, but that's an image these days, mouseover-text saying 'foobar' and everything. ζω·τωμανα•

I was thinking we could use it on infoboxes so the background colors are the same as the parent page colors (I've been trying to do that with things like Template:Location and Template:Object, for example), but it looks like MediaWiki won't let you take styles from templates so I don't think it'll work. I think I'm just going to move the list to my userpage for now. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 15:28, 27 October 2013 (PDT)

That's what I figured you were going to do, but even if you could that wouldn't necessarily work with templates for characters. A lot of them are colored according to elemental or organizational affiliation. If it were to be part of the Infobox, I would imagine it just being a single bar at the bottom, colored and labeled accordingly. The parent page indicator already used takes care of that, though, so one makes the other superfluous. ζω·τωμανα•

My thought for infoboxes like Template:Toa and Template:Power was that it would default to the parent page color, just so it wouldn't be transparent until you set the background. Since Template:P doesn't exist anymore I obviously wouldn't do it that way, but do you think it'd still be a good idea or is it a bit much? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 19:58, 28 October 2013 (PDT)

Mmm, I don't think so =/ mainly because of how color-driven things in BIONICLE can be. If for some reason we did put the template somewhere where it needed to be a default color I think the default should either be clear or it should be grey, since grey is the default color of just about everything until it is associated with an element or gets painted to represent affiliation. IF we were to make things a bit easier to change when it comes to the template, it would probably be a color switch in the template itself: since for Toa and Matoran we have clear color patterns we can use. For "Power" it might have the same idea, color switch based on elemental association. Then you just have to go into the switch, change the color, and BAM, all the templates are changed.ζω·τωμανα•

Template:WikiNav

Hey Morris, good work so far. Trust me, it's not going unnoticed.

Quick thing, I don't really like how you strayed the colors away from what I had originally. If you notice them again on my edits you'll see how I arranged them. Specifically, each column represents one of each of the 6 original Koro color schemes. You strayed away from that in the "Ko" column by not including the light gray or the sand blue, and changing the teal to a more sand green, and the last column doesn't even have any consistent color (though I admit that on mine it was pretty vague to begin with.)

Think you can revert (or even adapt, I'm flexible) my color layout back? Thanks. -- ^{Owner (talk|contribs)}

To clarify real fast, I don't mind the actual layout of it, that feels fine to me. I'm just asking about the colors. -- ^{Owner (talk|contribs)}

Oh, I didn't realize that's what you were going with with the colors, that's clever! Sorry about that. I'm afraid I won't have much time to change it over the next few days, so I'll just revert everything back for now. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 19:35, 10 November 2013 (PST)

Admin?

I've noticed that you are, by far, the most active user on bs01 these days. Are you going for adminship, or something? --ToaJuaraevo01 (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2013 (PST)

No, I just enjoy coding and the templates are in need of some work. I actually already have the admin right to modify the site's CSS files and to perform find/replace edits without having to do them manually (all those edits that start with "Text replace" are done using a special form, not actually by editing every page). -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 16:20, 29 November 2013 (PST)

I have the utmost respect for you, I don't have the patience or the know-how to stay up all day and night coding like you. Hats off! --ToaJuaraevo01 (talk)

Subterrean Worm

Could you please move it to its proper spelling, Subterranean Worm? »Zapnox«

And I was just talking about how we don't let inaccuracies just slip by... ζω·τωμανα•

Template:YouMay

Wow I'm late in noticing this. I'm guessing you took away the outer box for some aesthetic purpose, but looking at it on pages with quotes it kinda blends with the quote at the top when it is supposed to be separate from the rest of the page. ζω·τωμανα•

Sorry about that, you're right. I've added a semi-transparent background in; do you think it's okay, or should I boost the opacity up more? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 17:11, 20 December 2013 (PST)

Semi-transparent bg idea is a good one methinks, but I boosted the opacity up to .9. What think ye? ζω·τωμανα•

Yep, that's even better! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 15:23, 21 December 2013 (PST)

Well, I just had a facepalm moment, and thought about this:

This article is about {{{1}}}. You may be looking for {{{2}}}.

for consistency's sake. ζω·τωμανα•

That was my original plan, but then I wasn't sure if it would be too much... testing it out it looks good though, so I think I'll go change it. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 15:12, 28 December 2013 (PST)

RC

What problems are you having on the recent changes? I can't really test it myself since Safari doesn't work on Linux, but I may be able to find the source of the problem. --Meiko 22:13, 22 December 2013 (PST)

The Recent Changes loads maybe a third of a way or so, but past that point it just stops loading and nothing ever displays (just a white page). There is also often a delay when I try to close the tab the page is in. Interestingly, it seems to be working fine when I'm logged out, and a couple times I was able to get the page to partially load before it stopped when I was logged in (the actual list of Recent Changes itself wasn't loaded, but everything else [i.e. the sidebar, page title, etc.] was). HS01, Brickimedia, etc. seem to work fine. Based on some googling it sounds like other users have noticed freezing problems with Safari 7.0.1 as well, so maybe it's just some bizarre bug that'll get resolved in a future update. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 23:39, 22 December 2013 (PST)

It's likely the browser, possibly combined with the scripts used on this wiki. If it works fine on HS01, then there is likely an issue somewhere in this wiki's local JavaScipt that isn't playing well with Safari. Have you tried using BS01 with JavaScript disabled on Safari? --Meiko 13:02, 24 December 2013 (PST)

Oddly enough, when I disabled JavaScript and tried accessing the Recent Changes, the loading bar completed its animation very quickly but the Recent Changes didn't actually load (I was on the Main Page, hit the Recent Changes, the loading bar filled up, but I stayed on the Main Page). -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 18:31, 27 December 2013 (PST)

That's obscure. I'd use a different browser, since apparently Safari has issues that haven't been sorted out in its latest release. --Meiko 19:51, 27 December 2013 (PST)

Tabber

If I wanted to add tabs to a custom template, how difficult would it be? Linked in my sig's paw is my History page: I want to move the templates in various files out to the main area, but I would like to use tabs to do so. I could probably achieve something usable using collapsible show-hides in some fashoin like I do for everything else, but the tabs thing interests me and would make the template more presentable than a ton of show-hides. ζω·τωμανα•

It wouldn't be too hard having each of the four main sections as a separate tab, but past that it gets iffy. The thing is that there are 4 sections and 15 files in the first section (so 4 tabs with 15 subtabs within the first tab), so to get each file as a separate subtab I would have to add in a lot of JS (the closest thing it handles currently is 3 tabs and 3 subtabs within the first one, which I just set up for the Mahri and Takua). But if you just want to have each of the four main sections as a tab with no subtabs, that would be no problem to set up. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 22:11, 24 March 2014 (CET)

Well, luckily I didn't have it in mind to go quite that far XD If you look in the first section, there are three files with their own information templates: The V File, the BS01 Empire Report, and the KS01 Record. If we were to create a Tabber for the page the first Section would be the BS01 Empire, with all three sub tabs used, and the other two sections would be used for the KS01 template, and then the main information template. ζω·τωμανα•

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the way you want it set up... I see three infoboxes in the BS01 Empire Report (the Toa V Incident, the Warriors of Wiki-Nui, and the Wiki-Nui Freedom Fighters), two in The V File (the V File itself and Toa V), and one in The KS01 Record. Or do you mean you want the Toa V Incident (from BS01 Empire) along with the V file and Toa V (both from The V File) in the first section, the KS01 Record one in the second one, and the BS01 and HS01 Histories one in the third? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:00, 25 March 2014 (CET)

The latter. The WoWN and the WNFF (among other organizational templates in there) would stay where they are, unmodified. I'm just talking about the main info templates at the beginning of each section. So, first tab "VS01" : "The V Incident", "The V File", "Toa V"; second tab "KS01"; third tab "BS01 and HS01 Histories" (primary tab). ζω·τωμανα•

Would this work? If you want it to start on tab 3 when you load the page, add this in: <div id="infoStart" style="display:none;">3</div> -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 03:32, 27 March 2014 (CET)

That would work wonderfully! Much thanks. ζω·τωμανα•

Hey, no problem! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 20:39, 27 March 2014 (CET)

Velika's name

Hi Morris,

in 2012, Greg stated that “The Great Being was already named Velika before inhabiting the Matoran body.”

But: In 2013, he wrote that “He assumed [the name] as a Matoran.” He probably did a mistake at one point, didn't he?

So.. my question is: Since you know how to submit questions at the chat, could you please ask him which version is right? Thank you! --Fippe^de 17:58, 31 March 2014 (CEST)

I would, but I've already asked him two questions this week and I don't want to bother him too much. I'll keep an eye out on the topic, and if someone asks I'll post it here; otherwise I'll ask in a few days. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 18:03, 31 March 2014 (CEST)

Okay, thanks again! --Fippe^de 18:08, 31 March 2014 (CEST)

Era images

Where did you get the images used for Template:Era? Do you have vector versions of them? WhereFMF (talk) 20:25, 20 May 2014 (CEST)

I adapted some of them from the Kanohi icons on the main page, from the images on the main page nav (you can view them here, they're the ones that end in "-back"), and some other places as well. I actually don't have vectors; I had to make/reconstruct parts of some of them in Photoshop, Flash, etc. based on the existing ones (e.g., for 9T I actually took File:Animation Kraahkan.png, flipped it over, and tampered with it a lot to make it look like the old icon.) I have the PSDs for 3a, 9T (the layers are mostly smushed though), and 10a and the FLA for 5 if you're interested. It's possible Swert might have vectors of the original images stored somewhere, if you want those specifically. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 04:04, 21 May 2014 (CEST)

Thanks! I'd love to see those if you still have them. WhereFMF (talk) 18:18, 23 May 2014 (CEST)

Ah, sorry for the delay, just remembered this... here they are. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 06:16, 9 June 2014 (CEST)

Takanuva

There are still some pages linking to Takua/Takanuva. You only replaced the links in the main namespace, but there still are some galleries, user pages and pages in the BIONICLEsector01-namespace linking to it. Could you please change that? --Fippe^de 17:38, 16 July 2014 (CEST)

I would like to congratulate you on adding references to articles! I've waited so long for that feature to be implemented! --Collector1100 (talk) 01:42, 22 July 2014 (CEST)

Yes, Morris... thank you :U -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 03:02, 22 July 2014 (CEST)

No problem, thanks for the thanks guys. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 04:00, 22 July 2014 (CEST)

THAT WAS SARCASM, THANKS REVOKED -- I AM THE DOREK _{do not truffle with me} 06:19, 22 July 2014 (CEST)

:( -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 06:39, 22 July 2014 (CEST)

Hello again! Could you please do the ReplaceText-thing for [[BIONICLE: The Official Guide to BIONICLE to [[The Official Guide to BIONICLE? --Fippe^de 12:36, 25 July 2014 (CEST)

Thank you! --Fippe^de 17:39, 25 July 2014 (CEST)

Why you delete Montatura page?

Why? --Bmrjw (talk) 06:50, 3 August 2014 (CEST)

BS01 is supposed to be a place for official material only (with some exceptions, like articles for BS01 and BZPower), not fan material... otherwise, people could change articles as they saw fit even if their changes weren't canon, and then at the end of the day BS01 wouldn't be useful for anybody. Feel free to put the Montatura on your userpage though—I have a copy of the page below if you want. You'll just have to add in the line name=Montatura| to the infobox and link to the image externally using <img></img> tags instead of uploading it here. For what it's worth, I think the design is really cool, it reminds me a lot of bonesiii's art style. :)

{{Kanohi|
image=[[Image:Mask_of_Hype.png|200px]]|
title=Mask of Hype|
powers=Turns the user into the Hype Train|
disks=Disk of Hype|
user=Hype Train Conductor|
pron=Mahn-tuh-TOO-ruh|
}}
The [[Kanohi]] '''Montatura''' is the '''Mask of Hype'''. It allows its user to transform into the Hype Train.
