Report of activity of the Spanish BioShock Wiki
Hello! BioShock Wiki in Spanish is advancing very fast, we are creating many items and we are also updating Infobox to a new style, we may soon be a separate wiki to get information and leave the English BioShock Wiki.

But I still need help with the Template: Games. Looks like this: BioShock Infinite I hope to help me put the template in place. Thanks! ;D

Re: Map Key Template
Those templates look awesome, and should definitely be on the mainspace. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd suggest clicking on the icons on the key should open a tab to the relevant page, if that's not already planned for. That aside, the whole thing's aesthetically perfect, and could especially help the newer visitors to this wiki. --Willbachbakal 00:35, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I found it slightly annoying when clicking on an icon opened a larger image, what with the image taking over the screen and whatnot, but that may just be because I already know what the icons stand for and may not need to see them in a larger version. I recommend you ask another couple of users, that way you'll get our compounded opinion and not just mine. --Willbachbakal 07:44, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Congrats on adding the keys. Even at this stage they're perfect, since the icons on the map already link to the articles. --Willbachbakal 00:34, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!
It worked! Thank you very much!

Bug check
I found it on the Xbox360. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by (talk • contribs) 00:09, 2012 March 12 (UTC). Please remember to sign your posts with ~.

Did you catch it?
Apparently, X-Play was on behind me with the BioShock Infinite stuff, but my family in the same room didn't think to tell me it was on. I was watching YouTube videos, so I couldn't hear it come on. I look at the clock, 6:55 PM. I turn back, the show is just about over. Mom is like "Ya, it was on." ._. Piiiisssssed! ~ Ṃᶒɠą§ɔ î é ɳ č ę { tal k }  23:04, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

constant vulgar vandalism on wikia pages
Wikia User 108.82.124.196 is vandalizing the wikia pages. He first added a vulgar edit to the Crawler page, but after I undid their edit, they go back to that page to add more vulgar statements, and continued doing the same to the Brute and Brute Splicer pages, which me, MegaScience, and Animeman7890 now fixed. Please ban this user. Evans0305 16:53, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Baby Jane Quote
The "I know you've got some" quote, you changed it to say (x3). Even with my bad memory, I somehow remembered that I'm 100% sure she said it the way the quote was previously written. She didn't say "I know you've got some" three times in a row, she said "I know you've got some, I know you've got some in there, you got some," which isn't the same exact line three times. ~ Ṃᶒɠą§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  03:21, March 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Odd. I'm 100% sure of it, because I remember at that time I was repeating sounds over and over, including that one, and I heard it. Maybe you could Voice-Clip it over to me or something later, because I'm honestly confused. Also, thanks for formatting the page.

Re: AbuseFilter
Congratulations on making the filters work. To answer your question, if an editor vandalises articles on purpose they need to be stopped, whether they were warned or not. However, if their intentions are less clear but they still repeat the same mistake after receiving a warning, we could give them a minimum length ban to simply interrupt their editing, long enough for us to give them a more personalized response. --Willbachbakal 07:47, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Re: About the "retarded" bot edit
I know that page, I read it back when it was new. I thought the bot was moving the Video to the File: namespace like the page implied, but all it did was add underscores, which is why I put that. You should really contact me elsewhere, I don't feel I could elaborate in stagnant messages. I'm going to get a haircut right now, so I'll be on later. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  17:22, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Broken Video Links
Thanks for the heads-up. There was this broken link on the Neptune's Bounty page I deleted not too long ago, and I was surprised we had red links on our wiki, let alone on a major page. I'll fix anything I find. --Willbachbakal 15:06, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

IP edits
An IP editor slipped in a bunch of good edits, but I wanted you to look over them. They are the types of edits which can be an odd change, so some might need a little bit of review to tell if they make sense or not: 24.60.0.191 ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  02:06, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki's theme
Hi, Gardimuer. I'd like to talk about this wiki's theme, it's still using the old Rapture theme right? Seeing Bioshock Infinite is coming, why don't we change the theme into Columbia's theme? I think it's a little bit fitting, but this is not a request however. It's only my opinion. Regards, MrGazzo 06:56, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Protector Trials
Sorry that if I made any mistakes on that page. I will check and double confirm those information in the next few hours. Thanks for pointing out the problem. (N. Mason 09:09, April 23, 2012 (UTC))

I can confirm that Thuggish Splicers do not appear in Folly of Dionysus, but Spider Splicers do; Spider Splicers do not appear in Persephone Cell Block F, but Houdini Splicers do. I have corrected the related pages, and it is up to you to remove redundant information. (N. Mason 11:13, April 23, 2012 (UTC))

Re: Possible Changes to the Abuse Filter(s)
That anonymous editor performed all of his edits in a couple of minutes, so a one-hour ban on the first occasion would likely dissuade wannabe repeat offenders without discouraging them from doing anything productive later (when that happens, anyway). I also support lowering the character limit to 500-800, or at least what'd be the average length of a paragraph.

That aside, your programming skills never cease to amaze me. These filters are working incredibly well, and the fact that dedicated vandals have to try to intentionally circumvent them shows that the protections you set up are capable of stopping almost any typical miscreant on their first attempt. --Willbachbakal 20:17, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Is there a page for everyone's Bioshock sequel/ideas?
Hey Gardimuer, is there a page on the Bioshock wiki for combining everyone's ideas for a sequel for Bioshock, if not, would it be alright if I created it?

Recent Pictures
In regards to the recently added images to the wiki, is it possible for either you or one of the other Admins to delete the numerous poor quality, repetitive, or just plain unnecessary images on this site? I appreciate that so many people are helpful in making this such a visual wiki, but it seems that the things that get posted the most are aimless photos of the game screen or superfluous fan art.

I don't know if it's the same on your end, but blog comments only become visible to me about an hour after they got posted, recently. Is the same happening to you? --Willbachbakal 21:23, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

New possible Style for Template:Audio Diary File
Since the noted template is not the best looking one I thought a little bit about the style. Here is a page how the template could look like. Explanations: The image on the left represents the game with a link (both: the picture and the text) to the game's article. (For There is something in the sea it could be eg. File:Somethinginthesea.png. On the right there would be an image of the level which will be instantly recognized if you have played the level only once. For Dionysus Park it could be eg. this one. It should match the proportions of the left image so that the overall styling looks better. In a seperate box you'll find all the other information - the backround colour should may be adjusted due to the fact the links are not that good to see. Below all that you'll find - as always - the licence information. NOTE: This is just a styling example. Feel free to post your idea below a line  --Bioexpander 17:27, June 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's an interesting idea, but I think I prefer the compact arrangement of your original design. Your new layout would take up a lot of space on file pages. I suggest that we keep the basic compact form, but use color to make certain parts stand out more. Here's an example of what it could look like: User:Gardimuer/Test1?oldid=139418
 * Some notes:
 * In my version, the Audio Diary image on the right side would link to the Audio Diary transcript article.
 * I think the template should include information about the source of the file (i.e. the file path within the game folder) when it is used on audio file pages, so I added a place to display that at the bottom.
 * Let me know what you think.

 * Your template looks pretty good.
 * It's more together as mine but still cleaned up. However, I would make the "Transcript article" section the the same style as location, speaker etc. but it doesn't really matter anyway because you would get from the transcrip article to the file's page 99% of the time and not vice versa
 * --Bioexpander 02:26, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * I changed my rough draft as per your suggestion: User:Gardimuer/Test1?oldid=139567 If you like this version, I can go ahead and change the Template:Audio Diary File to match. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:54, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

AbuseFilter problem
That problem with the filter and the anonymous editor got me thinking: is it possible to disable the Abuse Filter on specific pages? That way we could avoid having that same issue again.

Also, regarding the bug report we sent, I got this answer from Tim Quievryn, a Wikia support staff member. Apparently, it's a known issue, one that's been caused by the Wikia team itself, and "They do want to make changes to fix these issues during their next round of search work". Basically they can't be bothered to do anything anytime soon. Did you get a response too? --Willbachbakal 23:30, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

Please delete
I clicked the wrong button and instead of the correct desciption we now have File:AD gNr128-lNr16 Wilson - Such Freedom f0270.ogg twice. You can delete the old version thx --Bioexpander 18:24, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * I usually only delete old versions of files in cases when the file cache is lagging. Wikia's databases have plenty of room to store old uploads, so it's not a problem. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:58, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re: "Trivia" vs. "Behind the Scenes"
Given your reasoning, I now believe that the information in the Atrium page goes under a "Behind the Scenes" section. It's a slim fit, but it works. I agree that a "Behind the Scenes" section will cut down on useless information being added, but I'm not convinced all trivia sections should be changed outright. Either way, I'll continue to change "Trivia" sections as needed.

Unownshipper 18:36, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

You've done a nice job whiping out a lot of the pointless or obvious trivia recently, I applaud your efforts.

Still, I have reservations on removing the trivia on certain pages. In particular, I believe that some of the information removed from the Little Wonders, Hephaestus, Kashmir Restaurant (Multiplayer), Evelyn Klein, Jack, Inner Persephone, etc. pages should be returned under Trivia sections as they reveal things about the story that one might miss. I'm continually finding out new and interesting things that I missed on my first play through thanks to people's contributions to the trivia sections, so, once again, I hope you'll consider what's worth holding on to. Thanks.

Links to Rapture Archives
Sorry for the radio silence, I'm almost done with my finals. There's not much I can add to your response, but I was thinking we could post links to the Rapture Archives for the interactive SITS content to replace the dead ones, and tell Tapper beforehand. What do you think? --Willbachbakal 14:08, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Due to the layout on RA, I think it'd be a better idea to provide a link to the main SITS page and let the visitor continue from there. I'll mark the current links as dead and provide a link to the archive at the top of the list. --Willbachbakal 15:14, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Behind The Scenes conformity
I might have missed it, or wasn't around when it happened, but since it was voted that "Behind the scenes" is the new "Trivia" in this wikia, we'll just remove about 50% of everyone's contributions here, since we'll more likely have to wait 10 years (or never) to have 2k/Irrational fully confirm what most of what was removed before wasn't "speculation" or "coincidences". I'm not upset, but just thinking that the "Behind The Scenes" part of the Wikia is becoming too limiting of a law. Evans0305 05:16, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Behind the Scenes/Community Corner
I believe the community corner should be updated now, since the "Behind the Scenes" replacement is already in action. --
