Whoa, WHAT?
I'm sorry... do my eyes deceive me!? On Mark's page I see a quote of... IMPORTANCE. Who wrote this? Is it true!? See for yourself, it's right at the top.--Epstein CoR 23:08, December 21, 2009 (UTC)Epstein CoR

No Prob
Oh okay that makes sense. Though when I saw that video, I just couldn't believe it. However, I did thought he would have some connection to the game or maybe bioshock 3. Anyways what I just learned today was like..WOW!!!--Tyler Thomson 00:22, December 22, 2009 (UTC)User:MeLovGamng

About Little Sisters Template
It looks good. My only problem with it is using a separate image for Extra Little Sisters. If I were to change the main one, the other would need to be changed, as well. Maybe a Text Superimpose over the original, using the question mark as an image on it? ~ Ṃ ᶒ ɠ ą § ɔ î é ɳ č ę  { t al k <font color="#ff0000">} 19:08, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * 1: I just modified the original. I'll put together a Text Superimpose for it soon. 2: Slightly off topic, but I just made the old Something in the Sea icon I made pure red. What do you think? TSITS_Icon.png

This needs to be figured out.
You know about the Mark reveal now, and so do I. Does this go on his article, or no? It's such a major spoiler for site followers.--Epstein CoR 19:53, December 22, 2009 (UTC)Epstein CoR

Spoiler
Hey someone keeps posting spoilers about Mark Meltzer on the article. Should we delete them?

Bravo, Bravo! Well handled! Let us hope that puts an end to this spoiler business. <font color=#COCOCO>EDlTʘR  <font color=#COCOCO>•taIk• |undefined 23:37, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Want more Information?
Hey MeLovGamng here. To all those fans out there who love Bioshock and is very impatient for the sequel well... this place is the right place for you!!! Click here for further details!!!!

Help!
Sir, this is Kyburz from the Cult of Rapture forum. There has been a diary posted about an audio diary that was seen in unofficial, leaked footage. The fact that this is an audio diary by Mark Meltzer has to be considered a considerable spoiler. I am of the opinion that this sort of thing shouldn't be posted here at this time since it could easily, unexpectedly spoil someone who wasn't expecting such a revelation here. If you agree, can we get this article deleted as well as keep an eye out for any similar articles that sprout up? KyburzCOR 04:55, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/The_Child_And_The_Garden

Also, can we get a definitive word on outlawing this information on the Mark Meltzer page? There seems to be some disagreement amongst other users. I can easily see someone who is just following Something in the Sea look up Meltzer on the Wiki and find these leaked Bioshock 2 spoilers out of the blue. I don't think just a spoiler tag is enough in this situation since the person will probably naturally think that the spoiler is related to Something in the Sea or any event I doubt they will consider it a reasonable possibility that they are about to read leaked Bioshock 2 spoilers. --KyburzCOR 05:11, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

I understand and sympathize with your position that this wiki is a neutral repository of information but it still strikes me as inconsiderate to have spoilers for a game that isn't out yet to be so easily accidentally read. The spoiler warning IMO isn't enough to stop accidentally wandering eyes. The logical conclusion to this line of reasoning is that we would allow a transcription of the ending of the game to be posted if the full game leaks early. Surely you must realize the amount of grief this will facilitate to people around the internet. I just think we are doing a massive discourtesy to our readers with this policy. If we are going to allow pre-release leaked spoilers, we need to at least make it a lot tougher to accidentally read them. Like maybe have a custom spoiler warning or make them click on something to be redirected to a different page to read it. At the very least a different spoiler warning that they are about to read leaked info and makes it harder to accidentally read. IMO, we need to do something that is is appropriate to the context of the situation instead of just a one-size fits all spoiler policy. --KyburzCOR 06:38, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. That is a huge improvement. The combination of a separate spoiler policy and a collapsible table I think would do a lot to minimize accidental spoilers. This will be greatly appreciated by our readers I am sure. --KyburzCOR 14:10, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Splitting the Page
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! You finally splitted the page. Now the Bioshock Wiki will be better than ever!!! We still have lots of work to do so I give you my thanks. --Tyler Thomson 07:06, December 24, 2009 (UTC)User:MeLovGamng

Article Splitting
Much of this article splitting seems excessive... are we just planning to have multiple redirects to compensate?

BlueIsSupreme 02:01, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with BlueIsSupreme here, a lot of the articles that got split didn't really need it, and could potentially cause confusion. Another problem I'm encountering is that it's impossible to create a disambiguation page for Splicers, with all current links leading to the B1 version. Do you know how to remove the redirect? It would make exploration much easier. --Willbachbakal 09:09, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

The only gripe I have with is with the Big Daddy and Splicer splits. Other than that, it's pretty fine.

Also, I forgot: Merry Christmas! --Willbachbakal 18:44, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

That too. It probably wasn't a good idea to split the individual enemy pages (the enemy page in general needed a split, though). --Willbachbakal 19:03, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!!!

Translation
I've seen this wiki currently has an excellent work and development; so I thought we could start working on a translation, since many of us enjoy the game in other languages... May we could start a translation team for each of the languages in which the game was launched...

Ahoy!
Long time no talk. Just checking in again; Happy New Year! A few days ago I purchased Bioshock for PC because Steam lowered the price by like, 75% for one day only. How've you been? --Epstein CoR 05:40, January 1, 2010 (UTC)Epstein CoR

Site Color Scheme
So I am thinking, and actually proposing (don't let your heart explode; not that kind of proposal...) that the color scheme for this site should better match that of the Cult of Rapture. And yes, of course this means that I will see less of the mightiest color, but it is a sacrifice I am willing to make for unification purposes.

Found Countdown Clock Code
<script type="text/javascript"> dateFuture = new Date(2010,1,9,12,0,0); function GetCount{

dateNow = new Date; amount = dateFuture.getTime - dateNow.getTime; delete dateNow;

if(amount < 0){ if(typeof flicker == 'undefined'){ flicker = 0; }		if(flicker == 0) { document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="<font size=\"+4\" color=\"#FFBB11\">BioShock 2 <font size=\"+3\">has Launched. "; flicker=1; }		else if(flicker == 1){ document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="<font size=\"+4\">BioShock 2 <font size=\"+3\" color=\"#FFBB11\">has Launched. "; flicker=0; }		setTimeout("GetCount", 500); }	else{ days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="<font size=\"+3\">Time until BioShock 2 Launches <font size=\"+2\" color=\"#FFBB11\">";

amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);

days=Math.floor(amount/86400); amount=amount%86400;

hours=Math.floor(amount/3600); amount=amount%3600;

mins=Math.floor(amount/60); amount=amount%60;

secs=Math.floor(amount);

if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hour"+((hours!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" minute"+((mins!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} out += secs +" seconds "; document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out; setTimeout("GetCount", 1000); } }

window.onload=GetCount; <div id="countbox" style="text-align:center; font:+0 Andes; color:#FFFFFF">

In testing, the above code worked by loading a .html file I made on my computer. All it does is make a simple line of counting-down text, which you can place anywhere, including your Countdown Template. The  creates it, btw. (You should probably copy from editing this entry, it seems putting it into the talk page tries to make it one line.)

I think you can figure out how to implement it into the site... hopefully.

Edit: I got the basic code from here

Edit2: I edited the code to be BioShock 2 specific. I think I could make the javascript parameters editable by wikicode, but I'm not sure if I should mess with that.

Edit3: vrap (Moderator of 2kgames.com forums) told me he'd like it better if I changed the font to something more art-deco, so I made it Andes.

Edit4: Now, when it reachs BioShock 2 Launch Date, the text will flicker in line with the Neon Sign!

 * Have you tried just putting around the  itself? All I did was put a bunch of font code in the javascript itself, but it could be removed at the price of the two lines being preset to the same look. Here, I'll give you a simpler one.

dateNow = new Date; amount = dateFuture.getTime - dateNow.getTime; delete dateNow;

if(amount < 0){ document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="BioShock 2 has Launched."; }	else{ days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="Time until BioShock 2 Launches ";

amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);

days=Math.floor(amount/86400); amount=amount%86400;

hours=Math.floor(amount/3600); amount=amount%3600;

mins=Math.floor(amount/60); amount=amount%60;

secs=Math.floor(amount);

if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hour"+((hours!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" minute"+((mins!=1)?"s":"")+", ";} out += secs +" seconds"; document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out; setTimeout("GetCount", 1000); } }

 * Try making it all in the header, putting a table in there that has the top part as the white text and the numbers in another row? Center from there? Meh, probably won't work, but worth a try... Oh ya, and the Andes font... I thought it was default. But I have installed a bunch of font packs before, so I can tell now that it isn't standard.

Template Games for the french version of BioShock Wiki
Hi Gardimuer ! First of all, I'd like to tell you that I'm actually working on the rebuilt of the french version of BioShock Wiki, and by advance, I'd to thank you for the help you would give me ! I'd like to ask about sth, because I've got some troubles with this template : Template Games. I successfully created a similar version of this US page into a FR one, but the icons aren't in the good place.. Moreover, there are visible in places there not supposed to... I hope I made myself clear, because my English is probably not very good :p The problem is that instead of appearing at the top right of the line, icons appear on the bottom left (here's a screen : [URL=http://img2.imageshack.us/i/sanstitreub.jpg/][IMG]http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/7248/sanstitreub.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Actually, I haven't apply the modification for the main page, but I'll in one or two hours, when I go to bed. Thanks a lot for your help ! Ravenlyze 19:27, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's working perfectly, you're awesome ! Thanks a lot ! Now, I've plenty of work to do if I want to make the french Wiki look like the US one =) Thanks a lot !! Ravenlyze 20:33, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
