section8

Welcome

Hi, welcome to Section 8! Thanks for your edit to the AR-548 Scimitar page.

If you need help, and there are no local admins here, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You can also check our Staff blog to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia.

Happy editing, Sarah Manley (help forum | blog)

Your comments

Hello, I do not know most of the old admins as I adopted to wiki after they left. I would remove their adminship, but many of them have been made bureaucrats/owners, which is a rank I cannot take away. As I suspect we will be getting many new peopl, you are good with editing, and you have been here before Prejudice, I am giving you rollback privileges so you can revert any vandalism you may find.

Categorizing

That is a good idea, lets move all groups such as Section 8 the group to being under USIF, though the weapon categories will be filed under their alliance too, as in USIF Weapons and USIF Vehicles will be categories themselves but will also be counted as USIF, and be USIF's sub-categories.

Do as you wish.

Go ahead, you can handle the community center as you wish. OverseerTange 18:02, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Improving the site

Righty, firstly, let's start off with the Wiki-wordmark. Go to Theme Designer and replace the current wiki logo with Wiki-wordmarkV2. I'll post up the relevant CSS and JS later. — subtank (7alk) 21:47, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Add the following on MediaWiki:Wikia.css:

/* BEGIN Wikia.css */

body { 
   background: #000 url('http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/oni/images/f/fb/Section_8.jpg') no-repeat top right; 
   background-attachment: fixed; 
}

body.mainpage .WikiaPage { 
   background: #000000 url("http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/section8/images/7/71/S8_foreground.jpg") no-repeat top center;
   border-radius: 8px;
   -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
}

.WikiaPage { 
   background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.77); 
   border-radius: 8px;
   -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
}

.picture-attribution {
  display: none !important;
}
 
.wikia-photogallery-add {
  display: none !important;
}
 
/* END Wikia.css */
 
/* Title Hack */
#title-meta i {
  font-style: italic !important;
}
 
/* Eraicon Hack */
#title-eraicons {
  display: block !important;
  text-align: right;
  margin-left: 1em;
  min-width: 250px;
}

Do tell if this needs to be improved.— subtank (7alk) 22:56, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Would appreciate if you could unprotect the Main Page for remodelling to take place. :) — subtank (7alk) 22:41, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
Just want to inform that the remodelling for the Main Page is over. If you have any other query, don't hesitate to contact me.— subtank (7alk) 19:05, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Rights

Yeh, but I went a little bloder on him and got myself administrator rights.


W Ma^ep |_ewa W Section 8 Wiki Admin and TBW Rollbacker. Talk

Yeah... I do too. I know an admin back on another wiki and he is a little technical nerd... He could probably help us... Problem is is that he doesn't know a single thing about Section 8.... I'll try getting him to teach me.

Wallpaper

Ok... I made a dang awesome wallpaper for this wiki and took me quite a while. I keep trying to stick it on there but.. It'll accept it. (I resized it and all) but it STILL just keeps this old wallpaper on... Not cool. -_-

Lol, dude, you forget I'm an admin. You cannot promote me. i was more of the formmating type back on TBW. The others were the template/category masters. I never really got into it but I'm asking now. I've got Mata Nui on the old wiki. He will hopefully help. :P


W Ma^ep |_ewa W Section 8 Wiki Admin and TBW Rollbacker. Talk

No... Beuros are less. Admin are the highest.

Hey, at one point this week some user called AuronKaizer is going to be editing my userpage. -Let him.

RE: Forum

So, essentially demolish the current forum system and implement an infrastructure like the one you see in HF and DS?

Oh, if you need any help that concerns this wiki, please leave a message at my talk page in this wiki.— subtank (7alk) 18:03, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Meh, lame equals me but... How are you using the word bubble? Could you send the template to me...?


I feel lame right now. Desu.


W Ma^ep |_ewa W Section 8 Wik Bureaucrat and TBW Rollbacker. Talk

Meh, I finished the Badges page.... ~_~


I'll upload the rest of the badges' pictures. You just go to the Prejudice stats portal, on Nimrod-0's (My) page, and match up the names of all the badges.

That way you can figure out what to put as the subtitle.

I really don't want to do that so... Go ahead. I too lazy.

I'm doing an S8:P monthly update and I'm selecting you to be our featured 360 player. I need to ask you a few questions.

Favorite Weapon: Missile Launcher

Favorite equipment: Frag Grenade

favorite map: Desolation [DLC]

favorite armor: Hunter

strategy/advice to new players: As a starter, it is best to use the Jammer Beacon to keep yourself concealed in an area. Later on; scrp it and add stealth shielding to your upgrades. Targetting a player with EMP and incendiary is the most lethal loadout.

Help

I redid the US Empire page so there's less unknowns to the big government table, but I messed up with the background colors. Is there any way you can change the table's BG colors from white to black again, along with the text colors?

Ploxis 03:42, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Never Mind

The table is fixed. Sorry to trouble you.

Jeez, I gotta think things through before I post a help note.

An Idea for Better Pics

You browse the TimeGate forums, so hopefully you know who's who around there.

Anyway, you see the flag symbol on the Section 8 trooper below? (The US Flag with the gold Imperial Eagle over it, right below the '8')

US Armored Infantry









If you have time, can you see if the admins there have a BIG jpeg pic of this flag with the gold eagle over it? Or maybe they can get in touch with some TimeGate production staff that have some old concept art lying around.... or something of the sort. I'd like to post it on the United States Empire page as their official flag instead of using a standard Stars & Stripes; it helps with the in-universe atmosphere of the wiki.


Also, can you see if a BIG pic of this USIF eagle symbol can be obtained from anyone at the TimeGate forums? (The one on the gate)

I'd like to use it for the Imperial Eagle page instead of just relying on screencaps from videos.

Correction

EDIT: It took me a while, but now I figured it out. Admins can alter pages and wiki skins, and ban users, but bureaucrats can ONLY promote. In the end a bureaucrat technically wins, so you're right.

Ploxis 06:05, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Something Wrong Happened. Please Help Fix.

I have no idea what in the world just happened, but I unchecked the "Banned from Chat" box because I marked it on accident, and then the wiki just took away my adminship left me as a crappy "Chat Moderator". What the hell did it do?!?!?!

Anyway, could you help reinstate my bureaucrat and admin status? I have some improvements to give to the wiki.

Ploxis 05:47, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: What the hell..... This terrible "Chat Moderator" status also tranferred to the S8 Fanon Wiki too. I really messed up.

Ploxis 05:56, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

My Toolbar is screwing up

Many thanks for reinstating the bureaucrat rights, but I have another question.

For some reason, every time I give myself admin rights so I can fix up the wiki, the wiki automatically revokes my bureaucrat rights. But when I see your user rights and the rights of other admins, they have BOTH admin AND bureaucrat rights.

I think I have an idea. Could you remove the "Chat Moderator" rights on my user page while granting me the bureaucrat rights again? I think the wiki doesn't allow users to be chat moderators and bureaucrats at the same time.

I am so sorry if I keep bothering you, but it's like there's just one damn problem after another on my stupid toolbar.

Ploxis 01:59, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

All is Well

Now that everything is in order, I'll never screw around with my toolbar again!

Thanks for helping to clear up my mess.
