&lt;div&gt;==Pet type categories==&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, sorry, I got the idea that we were supposed to make the categories singular and not plural, my mistake.  '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:33, 18 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposed Change to Image Table==&lt;br /&gt;
So, we've been using this script for a while to link images from Neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This has worked very well, and I have become a big supporter of linking from Neopets now that I've gotten used to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'd like to present an idea of mine.  I &amp;quot;dressed up&amp;quot; the table a little bit, so we can add a border to the image and maybe a little thumbnail description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Fancy, eh?&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|-&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|Optional text.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it looks nice so I just thought I'd show you the script and stuff and see what you think. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:51, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I like it. :)  However, the image linking done for images is meant to be a temporary thing, as i was intending to upload the image linked images as wiki images. I just haven't haven't gotten around to it. :S  I just use the image linking as a ways to find the best image possible to work for the article for a future image load. And this new table is very good for that. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:02, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Greetings from Yukio==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! I'm typing in what I think is a messaging feature :) Let's hope it works!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:32, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:it's working alright. ;)  So...i'm the admin? is that right?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:35, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Great! Got it down pat :) This WIKI thing is kinda addictive @_@ Of course :) Admin away Jacob, admin away ^_^ Would love to chat online when we get the chance. I'll reply to your email soonish.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:56, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::ooking forward to hearing from you. thank a lot.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:58, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just wanted to drop in a line and say you're doing an amazing thing with the NeoDex :) Under your leadership, the NeoDex has totally grown expotentially and is becoming what everyone envisioned it to be :) Well done!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:50, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you very much. There is still so much to do of course, but all in due time...hopefully. :o Still don't know how to eidt and present the gaming articles. Mostly just focused on the plot/character/Neopet pages. Best get to thinking then.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:28, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Image Linking: Neopets vs. Internal==&lt;br /&gt;
So i was wondering...should we be focusing on making our own images to make the wiki colorful, or should we direct link to Neopets? I see all other fan sites doing it, and i'm wondering what is the opinion of everyone else on the matter. I'm fine working it either way, but would like to know how we would like to do it so we can work on it soon enough.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:34, 4 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:i decided on this for the time being: images that can be linked directly from neopets if the are set inside constructed tables. internal images will be used whenever they are not, as i haven't yet found a way to move images directly linked to.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:27, 8 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Karnik&amp;quot; Request==&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, could you please delete the article [[Karnik]] from the Characters page? I can't do so for some reason and it's irritating me. Thanks. Also, is it allright if I add a page for Zafara Double Agent?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:thanks for noticing that. the proper redirect has fixed it. now to add that misspelling to the list... ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:47, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reversion==&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I should mention that [[Neopets, The Website]] has been vanadlised, so is probably in need of a reversion. It's when I noticed this that I realised that I am not aware if a formal structure for reporting vandalised articles exist: could you clarify what we are meant to do? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ah! vandals! *attacks* well, reversing the effects of the vandalism is key, and stating that vandalism happened as well in the &amp;quot;summary&amp;quot;. other than that, i don't know of any &amp;quot;formal structure&amp;quot; than that, along with me banning people along the way. --unsigned by [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] (opps!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: What I mean is, what is an average member like myself meant to do about it? Do we leave you the vandal's name, rank and number and you ensure that they are 'no longer a problem', can we revert the page ourselves, or are we meant to wait for you, etc? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:33, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members/IP Addresses who i haven't blocked/spoken with yet should be reported to me, and yes, and average members can reverse adverse effects on articles (highly encouraged). clicking previous revisions of an article in its &amp;quot;history&amp;quot; and then saving that edit replaces the current revision.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anti-Neopian Article==&lt;br /&gt;
Propose locking of the Anti-Neopian article? As the is the encyclopaedia of Neopets, it would seem logically to include it in an objective way, but the nature of the article is that it likely to encourage vandalism - we do not want to turn the Neodex into one big discussion of issues that are not likely to be resolved. If there are any arguements that either side think should be added, they can always be put into the Talk page first, to maintain the objectiveness of the entry... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:20, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;bows* good idea. will do so right now. Other than that, how do you feel about the current state of the article?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It makes me wonder how one can draw a connection between a childrens site about animated pets and devil-worship... ;). I think the arguments and counter arguments (and rebuttals) are presented fairly sucinctly. Although personally, I do wonder about a lot of Anti-neopian points, like how they came up with them... They seem somewhat random. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:42, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you look back through the history of the article, you can see the written connection between devil worship and Neopets dealt with Scientology as well. I'm guessing they are just trying to anger or excite people to reply violently, as a form of entertainment. we shall see.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:00, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unspoken Rules==&lt;br /&gt;
I intend to expand on the Unspoken Rules section on give it a more encyclopaedic voice, but as it is one of the articles linked directly to from Help Contents page, I wanted to confirm with you whether I can do this first? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:31, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The help page in general needs a reworking. was going to try and see what i can do about it, looking over other help pages (wikipedia's in general) and the like and see what we need. what help you can offer would be good.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:44, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Article for Deletion==&lt;br /&gt;
The article [[Root Canal Champion]] originally just said &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; I changed the text to what it currently is. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:33, 22 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Root Canal Champion will not and should not be deleted. it should be filled with the proper data, as it is a term used on Neopets in reference to a trophy TNT members have on their user lookups. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:54, 23 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposal: Game Hints==&lt;br /&gt;
Post 68.142.54.193's modifictaion of the [[Extreme Herder]] page and [[Talk: Extreme Herder|talk page]], it has occured to me that there are a lot of game techniques which we could record, under a 'Tatics' heading, on the game pages, perhaps? Do we have your 'go' on this? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:45, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You have my &amp;quot;go&amp;quot; for that. Collected tactics and practices of games were going to be part of the NeoDex from the start i believe (along wit the history and such of course ;) ). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:55, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Question: TCG links==&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of TCG links at the bottom of pages have just been left as [name], with no actual link (e.g. [Gormball]): are these meant to link to the image of the trading card, or to the little pop-up page one gets when one clicks on them on the TCG Checklist, or... ? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:32, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TCG links (and NeoDeck links for that matter) are meant &amp;quot;to be filled&amp;quot;, as i didn't feel like doing the work at the time to fill them out. yes, i was lazy. :D The proper links can be found in the examples of [[JubJub]]. For NeoDeck, it's the pop up description while viewing a users neodeck (or the spoiler page). For TCG cards, it's the when a user clicks the card on the checklist. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:39, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Neopets Ad Comic...Things==&lt;br /&gt;
You've probably noticed the 5 ([http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic1.swf 1], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic2.swf 2], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic3.swf 3], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic4.swf 4], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic5.swf 5]) new comic-style adverts that have been appearing on the site (they were mentioned in a [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&amp;amp;issue=255 recent editorial] too) - I was wondering if you had any idea what we could call them for an article. I'm stumped: 'comics' is too much like the section in the neopian times, they aren't really 'ads'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:39, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Put it in the [[Neopets]] article, under a &amp;quot;banner ads&amp;quot; section...or something like that. seeing as banner ads are a big thing on the website, don't see why can't there be a fill section on everything about them, dealing with their contect and their history. and yes, these ARE ads, as they are on the banner ads section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:54, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff Page Editing==&lt;br /&gt;
Ahh that looks much better. Thanks Jacob! (Yukio) --[[User:58.165.59.30|58.165.59.30]] 18:31, 10 Oct 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Non-Neopets created pages==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Jacob, this article has unnecessary links in it that are non-neopets related such as linking to staff members at the fansite. Reccomended for removing the links. Furthermore, someone created actual pages for the staff members which I also vote for deletion. http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/TheDailyNeopets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Admin + Disambiguation==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there, who do you contact to get admin powers? Also, how do you create disambiguation pages on this neopedia? Id like to make one for the wheels im editing at the moment. Thanks. --[[User:Lewisg|Lewisg]] 08:29, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As i am the head admin of the neodex, i'm the one to contact about being an administrator. And creating a disambiguation page is just like creating a normal page, which links to all the other articles which have &amp;quot;disambiguaty&amp;quot;, and link to the [[:Category: Disambiguation |Disambiguation category]]. Look in their for examples of them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:54, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Taking the Next Step ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hola Jacob :) Now that NeoDex has a decent amount of articles, and in light of your recent news post, I think NeoDex is ready to take the next step, but this is of course whether you're comfortable with it :) I think it's a great time now to start &amp;quot;invading&amp;quot; the Neopets community by opening up affiliation opportunities with NeoDex itself. I've started doing that with http://www.pinkpt.com/neopool What do you think? --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 19:56, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm a little confused by the affiliations you speak of, as you make it sound like the NeoDex and Neopool are seperate from PinkPT, when in fact they are sections and departments of the same area. Wouldn't it be simpler to have all affiliations be with PinkPT itself? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:06, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Yep that already occurs, but allowing section affiliation (essentially sections that are large enough to be identified as their own stand-alone site) allows added exposure for not only PPT has a whole, but also that section itself. Your call. --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 22:54, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Banning?==&lt;br /&gt;
Understand that I do not wish to undermine you for a moment, but taking into account what you posted as news on PinkPT recently about whether some editors of the Neodex had been banned through ignorance  rather than malicious intent, don't you think giving someone 20,000 hours for adding a emoticon to an article to be something of an overkill? Especially when someone who added a advertising image got only 24...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Touche. You are right on that. I'm pretty random with the bannings, aren't i? What would you reccomend? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:36, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, we really should sort out some sort of vandalism scale, with suggested hours for each level of vandalism noted, rising for repeat offenders within a range of hours per crime. Probably as part of [[Neodex:Banning]]...Let me see what I can come up with... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:28, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's easy to spot vandalizers. people who just post smileys or say &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; are part of it, though they may be unintentional, and &amp;quot;seeing for themselves&amp;quot; if they can REALLY type in whatever they want and show it to the world. so i guess people who do things like that should at least receive some warning instead of complete banning (unless, of course, they do it to several pages, and should really know better). next higher offender would be those who upload content for the purpose of advertizing their account. the worst offenders are those who place malicious or abhorent material on articles (spam links, or random wiki code with no data in them). So i suppose a system could be written around those levels, yes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:out of curiousity, would you think it proper to look through all the currently blocked IPs in reguards to this, and unblock a few? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:37, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I took the initiative and looked through all the blocked IPs, taking mercy on a few of them (and cross referencing with the Wikipedia list of IPs as well, just to be sure). I think the remainder of the IPs on our list are questionable in what they have given enough to keep them there...i think. *ponders* again, you can have a look to see. As always, an ongoing process. let's hope for the best. *salute* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 28 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed you seem to increase the expiry time for vandals posting vulgar links from time to time. I just don't understand the sense of it. As the IPs nor the posted links are never the same, this won't prevent further spamming. I'm not against your time regulations, I just don't see the sense. Mind to explain?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:21, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm random. That's basically the whole summary of it all. :D Plus i do think the IPs are all connected, as the neoboard talk page has been a large target as of late, with the offender(s) possibly having several different IPs in place. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:29, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==HTML-wiki-converter==&lt;br /&gt;
I just didn't know who to speak with so I speak with you. Your user page says that you know a bit HTML. Do you know the [http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html HTML-wiki-converter?] I thought it might be helpful. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:12, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for the link. this is a very helpful teaching tool. It can allow those who understand html to understand wiki markup better (and vice versa), and allow faster conversion of data. while looking into this, i found [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools|other helpful tools]] as well. Lots of things to look into. Again, thank you. *bows* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:55, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Your edit to Galem==&lt;br /&gt;
I do not get the edit to Galem. You said it was &amp;quot;vulgar&amp;quot; what was that? Also, it looked like Galem lost his heart to me, look closely at the silliouette. --Unsigned by 66.63.86.156 00:55, 12 Dec 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's nothing more than the artists whim, similar to the switching of the jaw colour with Darigan. Also, Neopets would never visibly show something like that to users, especially when the image is right there in fron of us. Seriously, why would the TNT show that to a mostly younger crowd? They wouldn't. exactly. you can look into it all you want, but that didn't and couldn't happen. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::His death seems that was to me. [[User:66.63.86.156|66.63.86.156]] 13:45, 12 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

==Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there Jacob. What does the Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot; on the Recent updates page mean? Ive never seen them on another wiki before lol. --[[User:Lew|Lew]] 18:01, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It shows whenever any edit to a page occurs. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:20, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::It depends on the preferences of the wiki. In some wikis, only sysops are able to see them. You can klick the &amp;quot;diff&amp;quot; link of the edit and mark it as patrolled meaning that the difference was checked by somebody. This will remove the red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;. The question is, is it useful to make the feature available to all users? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:04, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oh. I can't say I've noticed. I usually go through all the edits on the Recent Changes page to check they are all valid, patrolled or not... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've begun to take addvantage of this feature and patrol the articles as per my duties as admin (or should at least be my duties). This will signify that a user has looked over the data and has seen it and another user doesn't need to look it over (they still can of course). Having this be a sysop exclusive would be much better too. *ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Site protection==&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed that in the discussion about Galgarroth you said that you will suspend everybody who claims Galgarroth is dead for a while. Don't you have the possibility to &amp;quot;protect&amp;quot; an article/make it editable only by registred members or sysops? I think the link should look like [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Galgarroth&amp;amp;action=protect this].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 03:30, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

:I just found [[NeoDex:Protected page]]. I really shouldn't tell a sysop what he can do on a wiki. A big sorry for that. :( --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:33, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not wishing to hijack this question from Jacob, but should edits to the Galgarroth article that contravene the discussion continue, the page may be protected in addition to a temporary suspension, yes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we are all editors, suggestions are always welcome. :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:59, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's really alright Himmelsdemon. :D Macbeth is right though, that we may need to protect the article should edits continue as they were, even though i would like to leave the article open for all users to edit, as it really isn't a very large or controversial character like Lord Darigan/Dr. Frank Sloth/Fyora (and i do worry about those articles should disputes arise :o ). But it will be done should it occur. will hope it will never have to come to that. *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:13, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, now I have to officially ask you to make [[NeoBoard]] editable for registered users only. It drives me mad. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:11, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==User Page Protection==&lt;br /&gt;
Would you like to put the '''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{protected}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;''' template on your user page? I won't do it myself as, well, it's up to you if you want it, as it is not a mainspace article. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:32, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think the template would make the page look a little off, so i'm fine with just having it be protected and not have it be notified as such with template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Coding update==&lt;br /&gt;
I saw at [[Talk:Jelly World]] that there will be an update for the wiki. May I ask what exactly is planned?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 07:11, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I talked to Yukio about it, and said he would contact the proper people about it. Will hopefully hear something more soon. perhaps we could include your idea? *points to topic below*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Protecting Talk Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
We can't start protected talk pages, vandalism or not. They are designed specifically to remain unprotected so that the contents of the article, whether protected or otherwise, can be discussed... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:16, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, maybe the whole load of Neodex/index.phtml or whatever should be deleted and we would look what happens. (Just adding it as you reminded me of this, Macbeth). Maybe the wiki could be coded so that we can protect the page from editing by IPs, but not from editing by registered users? *pokes comment above* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:03, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are right Macbeth, in that we can't protect talk pages. A goof by me on my part, and i'll make sure all talk pages hence forth remain free of protection. Though i do have to admit the spamming infuriates me...and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But again, no more protecting them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Himmelsdemon? That's a wonderful idea. Having only registered users being able to edit articles would totally eliminate the problem with spamming IPs, allowing us to overview and control what goes into the NeoDex easier. It would then force everyone to log in of course, and i think spammers would then just create accounts to spam with, but it least it would be easier to maintain the integrity of the NeoDex. Perhaps this could be included in the updating to take place? *points to topic above* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think I expressed a bit wrong what I meant. The idea was to be able to protect pages so that only registered users are able to edit them, not making the wiki &amp;quot;IP-free&amp;quot;. We had this before on our German wiki, but I think this made the wiki less attractive to writers. People seem to be somewhat...afraid of logging in into new pages.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 11:40, 1 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:And yet willing to edit and display an IP address... Heh. Wikipedia does have a semi-protection system to block unregistered users editing certain pages. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:23, 2 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spam protection==&lt;br /&gt;
In reference to the above: I also recently found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features this]. Any way it could be used in the wiki filtering codes like &amp;lt;a href=... and [url]?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Those are some nice features which could be used, and i really like the idea of the &amp;quot;SpamBlacklist extension&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ConfirmEdit extension&amp;quot;. SpamBlacklist extension could currently be used, but we will still need to update the wiki to use ConfirmEdit extension. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Games Category==&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, I added the category:games stuff to Snowmuncher and Jelly Blobs, because without them they don't show up on the main Games page (the one linked from the Main Page), which seems pretty undesirable to me.  Is there a reason *not* to have them?  Other games have both the category and subcategory.  [[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 10:06, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In my opinion, if we are still following the [[NeoDex:Categorization|categorization rules]], we should remove the games category from all existing games on Neodex (except those which is impossible to have a sub-category). Unless we are going to use the games category page as a games index page, it's rather pointless to categorize a game as an &amp;quot;action game&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;game&amp;quot; at the same time... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 11:03, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Since the [[Main Page]] links to the [[:Category: Games]] page, I'd say there either should be a redesign where it links to a different games page, or items should get the above category.  Personally, I like having a master list. Plenty of Neopets games have elements of more than one category, so if I'm searching for a game whose name or spelling I've forgotten, I'd rather not have to guess whether it's a puzzle game or an action game. On the other hand, I can see a strong counter-argument: sponsor games of a limited lifetime would clog up such a list in a hurry. --[[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 11:46, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we ''are'' following the [[NeoDex:Categorization|categorization rules]] set. Individual games will not be labelled with the &amp;quot;Games&amp;quot; category, but all the sub-categories (action, puzzle, etc.) of game types it belongs to ([[Scourge of the Lab Jellies]] is a &amp;quot;board game&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;puzzle&amp;quot;). Only if there is no sub-category for it to go in should a game be placed in the games category. Game articles which already have the games category attached to them are that way because they haven't been taken off yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
if you are looking for a certain game you've forgotten the title of and don't want to guess which sub-category of gaming it belongs to (which ''will'' show up on the games category), you can use the search box on the left hand side to help you (for more information, see [[NeoDex:Searching]]). misspelled titles (those found) will usually redirect to the proper article, and [[:Category:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] articles will help as well. and yes, it's realized sponsor game articles would clog up the subcategory lists, and that is wy they have [[:Category:Sponsored Games|their own category]]. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:35, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Perhaps the [[Main Page]] should link to [[Games]] then, and not [[:Category: Games]]? --[[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 17:04, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
'''NeoQuest II''' is a role playing game within [[Neopets]] created by [[Mr. Insane]], sequel to [[NeoQuest I]]. In this version, a new battle system was implemented, along with the use of more party members (a total of 4).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the same medieval and &amp;quot;in the past&amp;quot; feel, users control the role of [[Rohane]] who is presented as the son of a knight in [[Trestin]] of [[Meridell]], but in actuallity is a captain of a spaceship, and stuck in a hologram simulation. While playing, Rohane travels through 4 other lands ([[Terror Mountain]], The [[Lost Desert]], The [[Haunted Woods]], and [[Faerieland]]) meeting his other crew members ([[Mipsy]], [[Talinia]], and [[Velm]]) along the way, who are locked within simulation booths as well. Together, they try to regain control of the hijacked space ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 1===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ramtor]], [[King Skarl]]'s advisor, takes the throne of [[Meridell]] from him and puts him in his tower's dungeon, and slowly begins to take over the land. In [[Trestin]], Rohane notices this change in the land and decides to head out on an adventure with his Father's sword.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 2===&lt;br /&gt;
A creature named [[Scuzzy]] traps the [[Snowager]] inside [[Terror Mountain]]. The paths across the mountain become clogged with snow, making it difficult to traverse, and monsters are swarming all the passes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 3===&lt;br /&gt;
A sandstorm rages in the [[Lost Desert]], and [[Princess Vyssa]] seeks a relic, the Medallion of the Wind, designed to control the weather. After locating the pieces of the device, it must be taken to Zakharukh's Pyramid, for the weather to be restored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 4===&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Haunted Woods]], the sun is stuck in the sky all day long, making it difficult for the Wood's residents - including ghosts and vampires - to go about their business. The residents of the Haunted Woods are quick to point the finger at each other and the player must narrow down the unlikely suspects one by one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 5===&lt;br /&gt;
Groups of Dark [[Faerie]]s are rebelling in [[Faerieland]], coupled with an invasion of mercenaries and monsters. Many of the cloud paths are destroyed, and the Faerie Palace is overrun by the forces of a dragon calling himself [[King Terask]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Difficulty==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Normal'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basic gameplay, where the boss's hitpoints and difficulty are lowest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Evil'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monster hit points are raised %50 and Boss's 25% of those in ''Normal'', and their strength and defenses against certain skills is also increased, requiring the user to be a level or 2 higher to defeat monsters than they did in ''Normal''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''InSaNe!'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ultimate challenge, monster hit points are raised %100 and Boss's 50% of those in ''Evil'', and strength and defenses against certain skills is raised even higher. If a user should be defeated at any time during the game, they start over from the very beginning of the game, losing all progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rewards==&lt;br /&gt;
Should a user play through any of the difficulties of NeoQuest II, the user receives a set sum of 14,100 [[Neopoints]] for defeating all the bosses. It's also possible to receive the ''Weakling'', ''Devilpuss'', and ''Bionic Cybunny'' [[Avatar]] through gameplay. The rewards for completing each gameplay are...&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*As of August 2006, there are a total of 61 NeoQuest II related [[item]]s, 25 of which are [[Stamps]] specifically for the ''NeoQuest II'' section of the [[Stamp Album]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Prior to finishing the first chapter of the game, the user is led to believe defeating Ramtor is the game's only task, and is given no clue (except for the circuit board tiles that are seen throughout the Act 1 world) the world is a simulation within a spaceship. The revelation surprised many users, as many were expecting a simple story set in a medieval land.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Pet type categories==&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, sorry, I got the idea that we were supposed to make the categories singular and not plural, my mistake.  '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:33, 18 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposed Change to Image Table==&lt;br /&gt;
So, we've been using this script for a while to link images from Neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This has worked very well, and I have become a big supporter of linking from Neopets now that I've gotten used to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'd like to present an idea of mine.  I &amp;quot;dressed up&amp;quot; the table a little bit, so we can add a border to the image and maybe a little thumbnail description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Fancy, eh?&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|-&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|Optional text.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it looks nice so I just thought I'd show you the script and stuff and see what you think. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:51, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I like it. :)  However, the image linking done for images is meant to be a temporary thing, as i was intending to upload the image linked images as wiki images. I just haven't haven't gotten around to it. :S  I just use the image linking as a ways to find the best image possible to work for the article for a future image load. And this new table is very good for that. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:02, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi there! I'm typing in what I think is a messaging feature :) Let's hope it works!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:32, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:it's working alright. ;)  So...i'm the admin? is that right?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:35, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Great! Got it down pat :) This WIKI thing is kinda addictive @_@ Of course :) Admin away Jacob, admin away ^_^ Would love to chat online when we get the chance. I'll reply to your email soonish.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:56, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::ooking forward to hearing from you. thank a lot.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:58, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just wanted to drop in a line and say you're doing an amazing thing with the NeoDex :) Under your leadership, the NeoDex has totally grown expotentially and is becoming what everyone envisioned it to be :) Well done!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:50, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you very much. There is still so much to do of course, but all in due time...hopefully. :o Still don't know how to eidt and present the gaming articles. Mostly just focused on the plot/character/Neopet pages. Best get to thinking then.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:28, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Image Linking: Neopets vs. Internal==&lt;br /&gt;
So i was wondering...should we be focusing on making our own images to make the wiki colorful, or should we direct link to Neopets? I see all other fan sites doing it, and i'm wondering what is the opinion of everyone else on the matter. I'm fine working it either way, but would like to know how we would like to do it so we can work on it soon enough.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:34, 4 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:i decided on this for the time being: images that can be linked directly from neopets if the are set inside constructed tables. internal images will be used whenever they are not, as i haven't yet found a way to move images directly linked to.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:27, 8 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Karnik&amp;quot; Request==&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, could you please delete the article [[Karnik]] from the Characters page? I can't do so for some reason and it's irritating me. Thanks. Also, is it allright if I add a page for Zafara Double Agent?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:thanks for noticing that. the proper redirect has fixed it. now to add that misspelling to the list... ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:47, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reversion==&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I should mention that [[Neopets, The Website]] has been vanadlised, so is probably in need of a reversion. It's when I noticed this that I realised that I am not aware if a formal structure for reporting vandalised articles exist: could you clarify what we are meant to do? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ah! vandals! *attacks* well, reversing the effects of the vandalism is key, and stating that vandalism happened as well in the &amp;quot;summary&amp;quot;. other than that, i don't know of any &amp;quot;formal structure&amp;quot; than that, along with me banning people along the way. --unsigned by [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] (opps!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: What I mean is, what is an average member like myself meant to do about it? Do we leave you the vandal's name, rank and number and you ensure that they are 'no longer a problem', can we revert the page ourselves, or are we meant to wait for you, etc? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:33, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members/IP Addresses who i haven't blocked/spoken with yet should be reported to me, and yes, and average members can reverse adverse effects on articles (highly encouraged). clicking previous revisions of an article in its &amp;quot;history&amp;quot; and then saving that edit replaces the current revision.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anti-Neopian Article==&lt;br /&gt;
Propose locking of the Anti-Neopian article? As the is the encyclopaedia of Neopets, it would seem logically to include it in an objective way, but the nature of the article is that it likely to encourage vandalism - we do not want to turn the Neodex into one big discussion of issues that are not likely to be resolved. If there are any arguements that either side think should be added, they can always be put into the Talk page first, to maintain the objectiveness of the entry... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:20, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;bows* good idea. will do so right now. Other than that, how do you feel about the current state of the article?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It makes me wonder how one can draw a connection between a childrens site about animated pets and devil-worship... ;). I think the arguments and counter arguments (and rebuttals) are presented fairly sucinctly. Although personally, I do wonder about a lot of Anti-neopian points, like how they came up with them... They seem somewhat random. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:42, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you look back through the history of the article, you can see the written connection between devil worship and Neopets dealt with Scientology as well. I'm guessing they are just trying to anger or excite people to reply violently, as a form of entertainment. we shall see.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:00, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unspoken Rules==&lt;br /&gt;
I intend to expand on the Unspoken Rules section on give it a more encyclopaedic voice, but as it is one of the articles linked directly to from Help Contents page, I wanted to confirm with you whether I can do this first? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:31, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The help page in general needs a reworking. was going to try and see what i can do about it, looking over other help pages (wikipedia's in general) and the like and see what we need. what help you can offer would be good.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:44, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Article for Deletion==&lt;br /&gt;
The article [[Root Canal Champion]] originally just said &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; I changed the text to what it currently is. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:33, 22 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Root Canal Champion will not and should not be deleted. it should be filled with the proper data, as it is a term used on Neopets in reference to a trophy TNT members have on their user lookups. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:54, 23 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposal: Game Hints==&lt;br /&gt;
Post 68.142.54.193's modifictaion of the [[Extreme Herder]] page and [[Talk: Extreme Herder|talk page]], it has occured to me that there are a lot of game techniques which we could record, under a 'Tatics' heading, on the game pages, perhaps? Do we have your 'go' on this? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:45, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You have my &amp;quot;go&amp;quot; for that. Collected tactics and practices of games were going to be part of the NeoDex from the start i believe (along wit the history and such of course ;) ). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:55, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Question: TCG links==&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of TCG links at the bottom of pages have just been left as [name], with no actual link (e.g. [Gormball]): are these meant to link to the image of the trading card, or to the little pop-up page one gets when one clicks on them on the TCG Checklist, or... ? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:32, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TCG links (and NeoDeck links for that matter) are meant &amp;quot;to be filled&amp;quot;, as i didn't feel like doing the work at the time to fill them out. yes, i was lazy. :D The proper links can be found in the examples of [[JubJub]]. For NeoDeck, it's the pop up description while viewing a users neodeck (or the spoiler page). For TCG cards, it's the when a user clicks the card on the checklist. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:39, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Neopets Ad Comic...Things==&lt;br /&gt;
You've probably noticed the 5 ([http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic1.swf 1], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic2.swf 2], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic3.swf 3], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic4.swf 4], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic5.swf 5]) new comic-style adverts that have been appearing on the site (they were mentioned in a [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&amp;amp;issue=255 recent editorial] too) - I was wondering if you had any idea what we could call them for an article. I'm stumped: 'comics' is too much like the section in the neopian times, they aren't really 'ads'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:39, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Put it in the [[Neopets]] article, under a &amp;quot;banner ads&amp;quot; section...or something like that. seeing as banner ads are a big thing on the website, don't see why can't there be a fill section on everything about them, dealing with their contect and their history. and yes, these ARE ads, as they are on the banner ads section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:54, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Non-Neopets created pages==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Jacob, this article has unnecessary links in it that are non-neopets related such as linking to staff members at the fansite. Reccomended for removing the links. Furthermore, someone created actual pages for the staff members which I also vote for deletion. http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/TheDailyNeopets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Admin + Disambiguation==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there, who do you contact to get admin powers? Also, how do you create disambiguation pages on this neopedia? Id like to make one for the wheels im editing at the moment. Thanks. --[[User:Lewisg|Lewisg]] 08:29, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As i am the head admin of the neodex, i'm the one to contact about being an administrator. And creating a disambiguation page is just like creating a normal page, which links to all the other articles which have &amp;quot;disambiguaty&amp;quot;, and link to the [[:Category: Disambiguation |Disambiguation category]]. Look in their for examples of them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:54, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Taking the Next Step ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hola Jacob :) Now that NeoDex has a decent amount of articles, and in light of your recent news post, I think NeoDex is ready to take the next step, but this is of course whether you're comfortable with it :) I think it's a great time now to start &amp;quot;invading&amp;quot; the Neopets community by opening up affiliation opportunities with NeoDex itself. I've started doing that with http://www.pinkpt.com/neopool What do you think? --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 19:56, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm a little confused by the affiliations you speak of, as you make it sound like the NeoDex and Neopool are seperate from PinkPT, when in fact they are sections and departments of the same area. Wouldn't it be simpler to have all affiliations be with PinkPT itself? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:06, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Yep that already occurs, but allowing section affiliation (essentially sections that are large enough to be identified as their own stand-alone site) allows added exposure for not only PPT has a whole, but also that section itself. Your call. --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 22:54, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Banning?==&lt;br /&gt;
Understand that I do not wish to undermine you for a moment, but taking into account what you posted as news on PinkPT recently about whether some editors of the Neodex had been banned through ignorance  rather than malicious intent, don't you think giving someone 20,000 hours for adding a emoticon to an article to be something of an overkill? Especially when someone who added a advertising image got only 24...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Touche. You are right on that. I'm pretty random with the bannings, aren't i? What would you reccomend? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:36, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, we really should sort out some sort of vandalism scale, with suggested hours for each level of vandalism noted, rising for repeat offenders within a range of hours per crime. Probably as part of [[Neodex:Banning]]...Let me see what I can come up with... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:28, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's easy to spot vandalizers. people who just post smileys or say &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; are part of it, though they may be unintentional, and &amp;quot;seeing for themselves&amp;quot; if they can REALLY type in whatever they want and show it to the world. so i guess people who do things like that should at least receive some warning instead of complete banning (unless, of course, they do it to several pages, and should really know better). next higher offender would be those who upload content for the purpose of advertizing their account. the worst offenders are those who place malicious or abhorent material on articles (spam links, or random wiki code with no data in them). So i suppose a system could be written around those levels, yes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:out of curiousity, would you think it proper to look through all the currently blocked IPs in reguards to this, and unblock a few? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:37, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I took the initiative and looked through all the blocked IPs, taking mercy on a few of them (and cross referencing with the Wikipedia list of IPs as well, just to be sure). I think the remainder of the IPs on our list are questionable in what they have given enough to keep them there...i think. *ponders* again, you can have a look to see. As always, an ongoing process. let's hope for the best. *salute* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 28 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed you seem to increase the expiry time for vandals posting vulgar links from time to time. I just don't understand the sense of it. As the IPs nor the posted links are never the same, this won't prevent further spamming. I'm not against your time regulations, I just don't see the sense. Mind to explain?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:21, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm random. That's basically the whole summary of it all. :D Plus i do think the IPs are all connected, as the neoboard talk page has been a large target as of late, with the offender(s) possibly having several different IPs in place. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:29, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==HTML-wiki-converter==&lt;br /&gt;
I just didn't know who to speak with so I speak with you. Your user page says that you know a bit HTML. Do you know the [http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html HTML-wiki-converter?] I thought it might be helpful. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:12, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for the link. this is a very helpful teaching tool. It can allow those who understand html to understand wiki markup better (and vice versa), and allow faster conversion of data. while looking into this, i found [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools|other helpful tools]] as well. Lots of things to look into. Again, thank you. *bows* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:55, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Your edit to Galem==&lt;br /&gt;
I do not get the edit to Galem. You said it was &amp;quot;vulgar&amp;quot; what was that? Also, it looked like Galem lost his heart to me, look closely at the silliouette. --Unsigned by 66.63.86.156 00:55, 12 Dec 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's nothing more than the artists whim, similar to the switching of the jaw colour with Darigan. Also, Neopets would never visibly show something like that to users, especially when the image is right there in fron of us. Seriously, why would the TNT show that to a mostly younger crowd? They wouldn't. exactly. you can look into it all you want, but that didn't and couldn't happen. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

==Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there Jacob. What does the Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot; on the Recent updates page mean? Ive never seen them on another wiki before lol. --[[User:Lew|Lew]] 18:01, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It shows whenever any edit to a page occurs. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:20, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::It depends on the preferences of the wiki. In some wikis, only sysops are able to see them. You can klick the &amp;quot;diff&amp;quot; link of the edit and mark it as patrolled meaning that the difference was checked by somebody. This will remove the red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;. The question is, is it useful to make the feature available to all users? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:04, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oh. I can't say I've noticed. I usually go through all the edits on the Recent Changes page to check they are all valid, patrolled or not... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've begun to take addvantage of this feature and patrol the articles as per my duties as admin (or should at least be my duties). This will signify that a user has looked over the data and has seen it and another user doesn't need to look it over (they still can of course). Having this be a sysop exclusive would be much better too. *ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Site protection==&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed that in the discussion about Galgarroth you said that you will suspend everybody who claims Galgarroth is dead for a while. Don't you have the possibility to &amp;quot;protect&amp;quot; an article/make it editable only by registred members or sysops? I think the link should look like [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Galgarroth&amp;amp;action=protect this].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 03:30, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I just found [[NeoDex:Protected page]]. I really shouldn't tell a sysop what he can do on a wiki. A big sorry for that. :( --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:33, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not wishing to hijack this question from Jacob, but should edits to the Galgarroth article that contravene the discussion continue, the page may be protected in addition to a temporary suspension, yes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we are all editors, suggestions are always welcome. :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:59, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's really alright Himmelsdemon. :D Macbeth is right though, that we may need to protect the article should edits continue as they were, even though i would like to leave the article open for all users to edit, as it really isn't a very large or controversial character like Lord Darigan/Dr. Frank Sloth/Fyora (and i do worry about those articles should disputes arise :o ). But it will be done should it occur. will hope it will never have to come to that. *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:13, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, now I have to officially ask you to make [[NeoBoard]] editable for registered users only. It drives me mad. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:11, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==User Page Protection==&lt;br /&gt;
Would you like to put the '''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{protected}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;''' template on your user page? I won't do it myself as, well, it's up to you if you want it, as it is not a mainspace article. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:32, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think the template would make the page look a little off, so i'm fine with just having it be protected and not have it be notified as such with template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Coding update==&lt;br /&gt;
I saw at [[Talk:Jelly World]] that there will be an update for the wiki. May I ask what exactly is planned?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 07:11, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I talked to Yukio about it, and said he would contact the proper people about it. Will hopefully hear something more soon. perhaps we could include your idea? *points to topic below*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Protecting Talk Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
We can't start protected talk pages, vandalism or not. They are designed specifically to remain unprotected so that the contents of the article, whether protected or otherwise, can be discussed... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:16, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, maybe the whole load of Neodex/index.phtml or whatever should be deleted and we would look what happens. (Just adding it as you reminded me of this, Macbeth). Maybe the wiki could be coded so that we can protect the page from editing by IPs, but not from editing by registered users? *pokes comment above* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:03, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are right Macbeth, in that we can't protect talk pages. A goof by me on my part, and i'll make sure all talk pages hence forth remain free of protection. Though i do have to admit the spamming infuriates me...and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But again, no more protecting them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Himmelsdemon? That's a wonderful idea. Having only registered users being able to edit articles would totally eliminate the problem with spamming IPs, allowing us to overview and control what goes into the NeoDex easier. It would then force everyone to log in of course, and i think spammers would then just create accounts to spam with, but it least it would be easier to maintain the integrity of the NeoDex. Perhaps this could be included in the updating to take place? *points to topic above* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think I expressed a bit wrong what I meant. The idea was to be able to protect pages so that only registered users are able to edit them, not making the wiki &amp;quot;IP-free&amp;quot;. We had this before on our German wiki, but I think this made the wiki less attractive to writers. People seem to be somewhat...afraid of logging in into new pages.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 11:40, 1 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:And yet willing to edit and display an IP address... Heh. Wikipedia does have a semi-protection system to block unregistered users editing certain pages. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:23, 2 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spam protection==&lt;br /&gt;
In reference to the above: I also recently found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features this]. Any way it could be used in the wiki filtering codes like &amp;lt;a href=... and [url]?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Those are some nice features which could be used, and i really like the idea of the &amp;quot;SpamBlacklist extension&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ConfirmEdit extension&amp;quot;. SpamBlacklist extension could currently be used, but we will still need to update the wiki to use ConfirmEdit extension. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Games Category==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, I added the category:games stuff to Snowmuncher and Jelly Blobs, because without them they don't show up on the main Games page (the one linked from the Main Page), which seems pretty undesirable to me.  Is there a reason *not* to have them?  Other games have both the category and subcategory.  [[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 10:06, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:In my opinion, if we are still following the [[NeoDex:Categorization|categorization rules]], we should remove the games category from all existing games on Neodex (except those which is impossible to have a sub-category). Unless we are going to use the games category page as a games index page, it's rather pointless to categorize a game as an &amp;quot;action game&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;game&amp;quot; at the same time... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 11:03, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Since the [[Main Page]] links to the [[:Category: Games]] page, I'd say there either should be a redesign where it links to a different games page, or items should get the above category.  Personally, I like having a master list. Plenty of Neopets games have elements of more than one category, so if I'm searching for a game whose name or spelling I've forgotten, I'd rather not have to guess whether it's a puzzle game or an action game. On the other hand, I can see a strong counter-argument: sponsor games of a limited lifetime would clog up such a list in a hurry. --[[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 11:46, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

When Sophie throws one of her ingredients into the air, use her wand to bounce the [[Item]] across the room and into the bubbling pot. Keep the ingredients from hitting the floor. If you happen to drop five ingredients on the floor, her potion is ruined and the game is over! Sophie has a hungry [[Meowclops]] which will catch and eat some items that you miss, often with humorous effects. This does not count as dropping an item.  You get points for each item that makes it into the pot, or for most items eaten by the Meowclops.  For most items, getting them eaten by the Meowclops gives fewer points than getting them into the pot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time an ingredient is thrown, try and use the far right of the wand to effectively move the item towards the cauldron. If the item happens to bounce off the cauldron and to the left onto the floor, position the wand beneath the window to send it directly in the cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you manage to hit the [[Droolik]] with an ingredient a gem will fall down. Catching it with the wand will give you a power up. The blue will expand the wand, the pink will shrink it, and the green will give you an extra life. Expanding or shrinking will last until the next time an ingredient is dropped.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Sophie]] is hard at work, brewing up one of her powerful potions. She isn't the most careful witch in [[Neopia]], however, so it's up to you to help her get every ingredient safely into her cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Pet type categories==&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, sorry, I got the idea that we were supposed to make the categories singular and not plural, my mistake.  '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:33, 18 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposed Change to Image Table==&lt;br /&gt;
So, we've been using this script for a while to link images from Neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This has worked very well, and I have become a big supporter of linking from Neopets now that I've gotten used to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'd like to present an idea of mine.  I &amp;quot;dressed up&amp;quot; the table a little bit, so we can add a border to the image and maybe a little thumbnail description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Fancy, eh?&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|-&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|Optional text.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it looks nice so I just thought I'd show you the script and stuff and see what you think. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:51, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I like it. :)  However, the image linking done for images is meant to be a temporary thing, as i was intending to upload the image linked images as wiki images. I just haven't haven't gotten around to it. :S  I just use the image linking as a ways to find the best image possible to work for the article for a future image load. And this new table is very good for that. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:02, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Greetings from Yukio==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! I'm typing in what I think is a messaging feature :) Let's hope it works!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:32, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:it's working alright. ;)  So...i'm the admin? is that right?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:35, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Great! Got it down pat :) This WIKI thing is kinda addictive @_@ Of course :) Admin away Jacob, admin away ^_^ Would love to chat online when we get the chance. I'll reply to your email soonish.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 17:56, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::ooking forward to hearing from you. thank a lot.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:58, 3 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just wanted to drop in a line and say you're doing an amazing thing with the NeoDex :) Under your leadership, the NeoDex has totally grown expotentially and is becoming what everyone envisioned it to be :) Well done!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:50, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you very much. There is still so much to do of course, but all in due time...hopefully. :o Still don't know how to eidt and present the gaming articles. Mostly just focused on the plot/character/Neopet pages. Best get to thinking then.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:28, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Image Linking: Neopets vs. Internal==&lt;br /&gt;
So i was wondering...should we be focusing on making our own images to make the wiki colorful, or should we direct link to Neopets? I see all other fan sites doing it, and i'm wondering what is the opinion of everyone else on the matter. I'm fine working it either way, but would like to know how we would like to do it so we can work on it soon enough.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:34, 4 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:i decided on this for the time being: images that can be linked directly from neopets if the are set inside constructed tables. internal images will be used whenever they are not, as i haven't yet found a way to move images directly linked to.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:27, 8 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Karnik&amp;quot; Request==&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, could you please delete the article [[Karnik]] from the Characters page? I can't do so for some reason and it's irritating me. Thanks. Also, is it allright if I add a page for Zafara Double Agent?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:thanks for noticing that. the proper redirect has fixed it. now to add that misspelling to the list... ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:47, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reversion==&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I should mention that [[Neopets, The Website]] has been vanadlised, so is probably in need of a reversion. It's when I noticed this that I realised that I am not aware if a formal structure for reporting vandalised articles exist: could you clarify what we are meant to do? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ah! vandals! *attacks* well, reversing the effects of the vandalism is key, and stating that vandalism happened as well in the &amp;quot;summary&amp;quot;. other than that, i don't know of any &amp;quot;formal structure&amp;quot; than that, along with me banning people along the way. --unsigned by [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] (opps!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: What I mean is, what is an average member like myself meant to do about it? Do we leave you the vandal's name, rank and number and you ensure that they are 'no longer a problem', can we revert the page ourselves, or are we meant to wait for you, etc? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:33, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members/IP Addresses who i haven't blocked/spoken with yet should be reported to me, and yes, and average members can reverse adverse effects on articles (highly encouraged). clicking previous revisions of an article in its &amp;quot;history&amp;quot; and then saving that edit replaces the current revision.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anti-Neopian Article==&lt;br /&gt;
Propose locking of the Anti-Neopian article? As the is the encyclopaedia of Neopets, it would seem logically to include it in an objective way, but the nature of the article is that it likely to encourage vandalism - we do not want to turn the Neodex into one big discussion of issues that are not likely to be resolved. If there are any arguements that either side think should be added, they can always be put into the Talk page first, to maintain the objectiveness of the entry... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:20, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;bows* good idea. will do so right now. Other than that, how do you feel about the current state of the article?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It makes me wonder how one can draw a connection between a childrens site about animated pets and devil-worship... ;). I think the arguments and counter arguments (and rebuttals) are presented fairly sucinctly. Although personally, I do wonder about a lot of Anti-neopian points, like how they came up with them... They seem somewhat random. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:42, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you look back through the history of the article, you can see the written connection between devil worship and Neopets dealt with Scientology as well. I'm guessing they are just trying to anger or excite people to reply violently, as a form of entertainment. we shall see.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:00, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unspoken Rules==&lt;br /&gt;
I intend to expand on the Unspoken Rules section on give it a more encyclopaedic voice, but as it is one of the articles linked directly to from Help Contents page, I wanted to confirm with you whether I can do this first? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:31, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The help page in general needs a reworking. was going to try and see what i can do about it, looking over other help pages (wikipedia's in general) and the like and see what we need. what help you can offer would be good.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:44, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Article for Deletion==&lt;br /&gt;
The article [[Root Canal Champion]] originally just said &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; I changed the text to what it currently is. --[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:33, 22 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Root Canal Champion will not and should not be deleted. it should be filled with the proper data, as it is a term used on Neopets in reference to a trophy TNT members have on their user lookups. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:54, 23 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposal: Game Hints==&lt;br /&gt;
Post 68.142.54.193's modifictaion of the [[Extreme Herder]] page and [[Talk: Extreme Herder|talk page]], it has occured to me that there are a lot of game techniques which we could record, under a 'Tatics' heading, on the game pages, perhaps? Do we have your 'go' on this? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:45, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You have my &amp;quot;go&amp;quot; for that. Collected tactics and practices of games were going to be part of the NeoDex from the start i believe (along wit the history and such of course ;) ). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:55, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Question: TCG links==&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of TCG links at the bottom of pages have just been left as [name], with no actual link (e.g. [Gormball]): are these meant to link to the image of the trading card, or to the little pop-up page one gets when one clicks on them on the TCG Checklist, or... ? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:32, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TCG links (and NeoDeck links for that matter) are meant &amp;quot;to be filled&amp;quot;, as i didn't feel like doing the work at the time to fill them out. yes, i was lazy. :D The proper links can be found in the examples of [[JubJub]]. For NeoDeck, it's the pop up description while viewing a users neodeck (or the spoiler page). For TCG cards, it's the when a user clicks the card on the checklist. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:39, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Neopets Ad Comic...Things==&lt;br /&gt;
You've probably noticed the 5 ([http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic1.swf 1], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic2.swf 2], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic3.swf 3], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic4.swf 4], [http://images.neopets.com/728ads/npcomic5.swf 5]) new comic-style adverts that have been appearing on the site (they were mentioned in a [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&amp;amp;issue=255 recent editorial] too) - I was wondering if you had any idea what we could call them for an article. I'm stumped: 'comics' is too much like the section in the neopian times, they aren't really 'ads'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:39, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Put it in the [[Neopets]] article, under a &amp;quot;banner ads&amp;quot; section...or something like that. seeing as banner ads are a big thing on the website, don't see why can't there be a fill section on everything about them, dealing with their contect and their history. and yes, these ARE ads, as they are on the banner ads section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:54, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Non-Neopets created pages==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Jacob, this article has unnecessary links in it that are non-neopets related such as linking to staff members at the fansite. Reccomended for removing the links. Furthermore, someone created actual pages for the staff members which I also vote for deletion. http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/TheDailyNeopets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Admin + Disambiguation==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there, who do you contact to get admin powers? Also, how do you create disambiguation pages on this neopedia? Id like to make one for the wheels im editing at the moment. Thanks. --[[User:Lewisg|Lewisg]] 08:29, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As i am the head admin of the neodex, i'm the one to contact about being an administrator. And creating a disambiguation page is just like creating a normal page, which links to all the other articles which have &amp;quot;disambiguaty&amp;quot;, and link to the [[:Category: Disambiguation |Disambiguation category]]. Look in their for examples of them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:54, 8 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Taking the Next Step ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hola Jacob :) Now that NeoDex has a decent amount of articles, and in light of your recent news post, I think NeoDex is ready to take the next step, but this is of course whether you're comfortable with it :) I think it's a great time now to start &amp;quot;invading&amp;quot; the Neopets community by opening up affiliation opportunities with NeoDex itself. I've started doing that with http://www.pinkpt.com/neopool What do you think? --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 19:56, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm a little confused by the affiliations you speak of, as you make it sound like the NeoDex and Neopool are seperate from PinkPT, when in fact they are sections and departments of the same area. Wouldn't it be simpler to have all affiliations be with PinkPT itself? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:06, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Yep that already occurs, but allowing section affiliation (essentially sections that are large enough to be identified as their own stand-alone site) allows added exposure for not only PPT has a whole, but also that section itself. Your call. --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 22:54, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Banning?==&lt;br /&gt;
Understand that I do not wish to undermine you for a moment, but taking into account what you posted as news on PinkPT recently about whether some editors of the Neodex had been banned through ignorance  rather than malicious intent, don't you think giving someone 20,000 hours for adding a emoticon to an article to be something of an overkill? Especially when someone who added a advertising image got only 24...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Touche. You are right on that. I'm pretty random with the bannings, aren't i? What would you reccomend? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:36, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, we really should sort out some sort of vandalism scale, with suggested hours for each level of vandalism noted, rising for repeat offenders within a range of hours per crime. Probably as part of [[Neodex:Banning]]...Let me see what I can come up with... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:28, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's easy to spot vandalizers. people who just post smileys or say &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; are part of it, though they may be unintentional, and &amp;quot;seeing for themselves&amp;quot; if they can REALLY type in whatever they want and show it to the world. so i guess people who do things like that should at least receive some warning instead of complete banning (unless, of course, they do it to several pages, and should really know better). next higher offender would be those who upload content for the purpose of advertizing their account. the worst offenders are those who place malicious or abhorent material on articles (spam links, or random wiki code with no data in them). So i suppose a system could be written around those levels, yes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:out of curiousity, would you think it proper to look through all the currently blocked IPs in reguards to this, and unblock a few? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:37, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I took the initiative and looked through all the blocked IPs, taking mercy on a few of them (and cross referencing with the Wikipedia list of IPs as well, just to be sure). I think the remainder of the IPs on our list are questionable in what they have given enough to keep them there...i think. *ponders* again, you can have a look to see. As always, an ongoing process. let's hope for the best. *salute* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 28 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed you seem to increase the expiry time for vandals posting vulgar links from time to time. I just don't understand the sense of it. As the IPs nor the posted links are never the same, this won't prevent further spamming. I'm not against your time regulations, I just don't see the sense. Mind to explain?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:21, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm random. That's basically the whole summary of it all. :D Plus i do think the IPs are all connected, as the neoboard talk page has been a large target as of late, with the offender(s) possibly having several different IPs in place. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:29, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

I just didn't know who to speak with so I speak with you. Your user page says that you know a bit HTML. Do you know the [http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html HTML-wiki-converter?] I thought it might be helpful. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:12, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for the link. this is a very helpful teaching tool. It can allow those who understand html to understand wiki markup better (and vice versa), and allow faster conversion of data. while looking into this, i found [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools|other helpful tools]] as well. Lots of things to look into. Again, thank you. *bows* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:55, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

==Your edit to Galem==&lt;br /&gt;
I do not get the edit to Galem. You said it was &amp;quot;vulgar&amp;quot; what was that? Also, it looked like Galem lost his heart to me, look closely at the silliouette. --Unsigned by 66.63.86.156 00:55, 12 Dec 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's nothing more than the artists whim, similar to the switching of the jaw colour with Darigan. Also, Neopets would never visibly show something like that to users, especially when the image is right there in fron of us. Seriously, why would the TNT show that to a mostly younger crowd? They wouldn't. exactly. you can look into it all you want, but that didn't and couldn't happen. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

==Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there Jacob. What does the Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot; on the Recent updates page mean? Ive never seen them on another wiki before lol. --[[User:Lew|Lew]] 18:01, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It shows whenever any edit to a page occurs. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:20, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::It depends on the preferences of the wiki. In some wikis, only sysops are able to see them. You can klick the &amp;quot;diff&amp;quot; link of the edit and mark it as patrolled meaning that the difference was checked by somebody. This will remove the red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;. The question is, is it useful to make the feature available to all users? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:04, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oh. I can't say I've noticed. I usually go through all the edits on the Recent Changes page to check they are all valid, patrolled or not... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've begun to take addvantage of this feature and patrol the articles as per my duties as admin (or should at least be my duties). This will signify that a user has looked over the data and has seen it and another user doesn't need to look it over (they still can of course). Having this be a sysop exclusive would be much better too. *ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Site protection==&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed that in the discussion about Galgarroth you said that you will suspend everybody who claims Galgarroth is dead for a while. Don't you have the possibility to &amp;quot;protect&amp;quot; an article/make it editable only by registred members or sysops? I think the link should look like [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Galgarroth&amp;amp;action=protect this].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 03:30, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I just found [[NeoDex:Protected page]]. I really shouldn't tell a sysop what he can do on a wiki. A big sorry for that. :( --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:33, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not wishing to hijack this question from Jacob, but should edits to the Galgarroth article that contravene the discussion continue, the page may be protected in addition to a temporary suspension, yes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we are all editors, suggestions are always welcome. :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:59, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's really alright Himmelsdemon. :D Macbeth is right though, that we may need to protect the article should edits continue as they were, even though i would like to leave the article open for all users to edit, as it really isn't a very large or controversial character like Lord Darigan/Dr. Frank Sloth/Fyora (and i do worry about those articles should disputes arise :o ). But it will be done should it occur. will hope it will never have to come to that. *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:13, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, now I have to officially ask you to make [[NeoBoard]] editable for registered users only. It drives me mad. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:11, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==User Page Protection==&lt;br /&gt;
Would you like to put the '''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{protected}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;''' template on your user page? I won't do it myself as, well, it's up to you if you want it, as it is not a mainspace article. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:32, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think the template would make the page look a little off, so i'm fine with just having it be protected and not have it be notified as such with template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Coding update==&lt;br /&gt;
I saw at [[Talk:Jelly World]] that there will be an update for the wiki. May I ask what exactly is planned?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 07:11, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I talked to Yukio about it, and said he would contact the proper people about it. Will hopefully hear something more soon. perhaps we could include your idea? *points to topic below*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Protecting Talk Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
We can't start protected talk pages, vandalism or not. They are designed specifically to remain unprotected so that the contents of the article, whether protected or otherwise, can be discussed... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:16, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, maybe the whole load of Neodex/index.phtml or whatever should be deleted and we would look what happens. (Just adding it as you reminded me of this, Macbeth). Maybe the wiki could be coded so that we can protect the page from editing by IPs, but not from editing by registered users? *pokes comment above* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:03, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are right Macbeth, in that we can't protect talk pages. A goof by me on my part, and i'll make sure all talk pages hence forth remain free of protection. Though i do have to admit the spamming infuriates me...and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But again, no more protecting them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Himmelsdemon? That's a wonderful idea. Having only registered users being able to edit articles would totally eliminate the problem with spamming IPs, allowing us to overview and control what goes into the NeoDex easier. It would then force everyone to log in of course, and i think spammers would then just create accounts to spam with, but it least it would be easier to maintain the integrity of the NeoDex. Perhaps this could be included in the updating to take place? *points to topic above* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think I expressed a bit wrong what I meant. The idea was to be able to protect pages so that only registered users are able to edit them, not making the wiki &amp;quot;IP-free&amp;quot;. We had this before on our German wiki, but I think this made the wiki less attractive to writers. People seem to be somewhat...afraid of logging in into new pages.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 11:40, 1 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:And yet willing to edit and display an IP address... Heh. Wikipedia does have a semi-protection system to block unregistered users editing certain pages. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:23, 2 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spam protection==&lt;br /&gt;
In reference to the above: I also recently found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features this]. Any way it could be used in the wiki filtering codes like &amp;lt;a href=... and [url]?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Those are some nice features which could be used, and i really like the idea of the &amp;quot;SpamBlacklist extension&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ConfirmEdit extension&amp;quot;. SpamBlacklist extension could currently be used, but we will still need to update the wiki to use ConfirmEdit extension. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Games Category==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, I added the category:games stuff to Snowmuncher and Jelly Blobs, because without them they don't show up on the main Games page (the one linked from the Main Page), which seems pretty undesirable to me.  Is there a reason *not* to have them?  Other games have both the category and subcategory.  [[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 10:06, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Pet type categories==&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, sorry, I got the idea that we were supposed to make the categories singular and not plural, my mistake.  '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 09:33, 18 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proposed Change to Image Table==&lt;br /&gt;
So, we've been using this script for a while to link images from Neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This has worked very well, and I have become a big supporter of linking from Neopets now that I've gotten used to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now I'd like to present an idea of mine.  I &amp;quot;dressed up&amp;quot; the table a little bit, so we can add a border to the image and maybe a little thumbnail description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|http://images.neopets.com/items/toy_faerie_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Fancy, eh?&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{|align=right style=&amp;quot;background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border: solid 1px #bbbbbb; padding: 1px&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|imagelinkhere&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|-&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|Optional text.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;|}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I think it looks nice so I just thought I'd show you the script and stuff and see what you think. [[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:51, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I like it. :)  However, the image linking done for images is meant to be a temporary thing, as i was intending to upload the image linked images as wiki images. I just haven't haven't gotten around to it. :S  I just use the image linking as a ways to find the best image possible to work for the article for a future image load. And this new table is very good for that. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:02, 11 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you very much. There is still so much to do of course, but all in due time...hopefully. :o Still don't know how to eidt and present the gaming articles. Mostly just focused on the plot/character/Neopet pages. Best get to thinking then.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:28, 29 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Image Linking: Neopets vs. Internal==&lt;br /&gt;
So i was wondering...should we be focusing on making our own images to make the wiki colorful, or should we direct link to Neopets? I see all other fan sites doing it, and i'm wondering what is the opinion of everyone else on the matter. I'm fine working it either way, but would like to know how we would like to do it so we can work on it soon enough.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:34, 4 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:i decided on this for the time being: images that can be linked directly from neopets if the are set inside constructed tables. internal images will be used whenever they are not, as i haven't yet found a way to move images directly linked to.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:27, 8 Mar 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Karnik&amp;quot; Request==&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, could you please delete the article [[Karnik]] from the Characters page? I can't do so for some reason and it's irritating me. Thanks. Also, is it allright if I add a page for Zafara Double Agent?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:thanks for noticing that. the proper redirect has fixed it. now to add that misspelling to the list... ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:47, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reversion==&lt;br /&gt;
I thought I should mention that [[Neopets, The Website]] has been vanadlised, so is probably in need of a reversion. It's when I noticed this that I realised that I am not aware if a formal structure for reporting vandalised articles exist: could you clarify what we are meant to do? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ah! vandals! *attacks* well, reversing the effects of the vandalism is key, and stating that vandalism happened as well in the &amp;quot;summary&amp;quot;. other than that, i don't know of any &amp;quot;formal structure&amp;quot; than that, along with me banning people along the way. --unsigned by [[User:Jacob|Jacob]] (opps!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: What I mean is, what is an average member like myself meant to do about it? Do we leave you the vandal's name, rank and number and you ensure that they are 'no longer a problem', can we revert the page ourselves, or are we meant to wait for you, etc? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:33, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members/IP Addresses who i haven't blocked/spoken with yet should be reported to me, and yes, and average members can reverse adverse effects on articles (highly encouraged). clicking previous revisions of an article in its &amp;quot;history&amp;quot; and then saving that edit replaces the current revision.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anti-Neopian Article==&lt;br /&gt;
Propose locking of the Anti-Neopian article? As the is the encyclopaedia of Neopets, it would seem logically to include it in an objective way, but the nature of the article is that it likely to encourage vandalism - we do not want to turn the Neodex into one big discussion of issues that are not likely to be resolved. If there are any arguements that either side think should be added, they can always be put into the Talk page first, to maintain the objectiveness of the entry... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:20, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;bows* good idea. will do so right now. Other than that, how do you feel about the current state of the article?--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It makes me wonder how one can draw a connection between a childrens site about animated pets and devil-worship... ;). I think the arguments and counter arguments (and rebuttals) are presented fairly sucinctly. Although personally, I do wonder about a lot of Anti-neopian points, like how they came up with them... They seem somewhat random. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:42, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you look back through the history of the article, you can see the written connection between devil worship and Neopets dealt with Scientology as well. I'm guessing they are just trying to anger or excite people to reply violently, as a form of entertainment. we shall see.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:00, 28 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unspoken Rules==&lt;br /&gt;
I intend to expand on the Unspoken Rules section on give it a more encyclopaedic voice, but as it is one of the articles linked directly to from Help Contents page, I wanted to confirm with you whether I can do this first? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:31, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The help page in general needs a reworking. was going to try and see what i can do about it, looking over other help pages (wikipedia's in general) and the like and see what we need. what help you can offer would be good.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:44, 30 May 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Article for Deletion==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Root Canal Champion will not and should not be deleted. it should be filled with the proper data, as it is a term used on Neopets in reference to a trophy TNT members have on their user lookups. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:54, 23 Jul 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Proposal: Game Hints==&lt;br /&gt;
Post 68.142.54.193's modifictaion of the [[Extreme Herder]] page and [[Talk: Extreme Herder|talk page]], it has occured to me that there are a lot of game techniques which we could record, under a 'Tatics' heading, on the game pages, perhaps? Do we have your 'go' on this? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:45, 5 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Question: TCG links==&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of TCG links at the bottom of pages have just been left as [name], with no actual link (e.g. [Gormball]): are these meant to link to the image of the trading card, or to the little pop-up page one gets when one clicks on them on the TCG Checklist, or... ? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:32, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TCG links (and NeoDeck links for that matter) are meant &amp;quot;to be filled&amp;quot;, as i didn't feel like doing the work at the time to fill them out. yes, i was lazy. :D The proper links can be found in the examples of [[JubJub]]. For NeoDeck, it's the pop up description while viewing a users neodeck (or the spoiler page). For TCG cards, it's the when a user clicks the card on the checklist. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:39, 7 Aug 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

I'm stumped: 'comics' is too much like the section in the neopian times, they aren't really 'ads'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:39, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Put it in the [[Neopets]] article, under a &amp;quot;banner ads&amp;quot; section...or something like that. seeing as banner ads are a big thing on the website, don't see why can't there be a fill section on everything about them, dealing with their contect and their history. and yes, these ARE ads, as they are on the banner ads section. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:54, 4 Sep 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Non-Neopets created pages==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Jacob, this article has unnecessary links in it that are non-neopets related such as linking to staff members at the fansite. Reccomended for removing the links. Furthermore, someone created actual pages for the staff members which I also vote for deletion. http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/TheDailyNeopets&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:As i am the head admin of the neodex, i'm the one to contact about being an administrator.

== Taking the Next Step ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hola Jacob :) Now that NeoDex has a decent amount of articles, and in light of your recent news post, I think NeoDex is ready to take the next step, but this is of course whether you're comfortable with it :) I think it's a great time now to start &amp;quot;invading&amp;quot; the Neopets community by opening up affiliation opportunities with NeoDex itself. I've started doing that with http://www.pinkpt.com/neopool What do you think? --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 19:56, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm a little confused by the affiliations you speak of, as you make it sound like the NeoDex and Neopool are seperate from PinkPT, when in fact they are sections and departments of the same area. Wouldn't it be simpler to have all affiliations be with PinkPT itself? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:06, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Yep that already occurs, but allowing section affiliation (essentially sections that are large enough to be identified as their own stand-alone site) allows added exposure for not only PPT has a whole, but also that section itself. Your call. --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 22:54, 18 Nov 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Banning?==&lt;br /&gt;
Understand that I do not wish to undermine you for a moment, but taking into account what you posted as news on PinkPT recently about whether some editors of the Neodex had been banned through ignorance  rather than malicious intent, don't you think giving someone 20,000 hours for adding a emoticon to an article to be something of an overkill? Especially when someone who added a advertising image got only 24...? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Touche. You are right on that. I'm pretty random with the bannings, aren't i? What would you reccomend? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:36, 10 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, we really should sort out some sort of vandalism scale, with suggested hours for each level of vandalism noted, rising for repeat offenders within a range of hours per crime. Probably as part of [[Neodex:Banning]]...Let me see what I can come up with... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:28, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's easy to spot vandalizers. people who just post smileys or say &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; are part of it, though they may be unintentional, and &amp;quot;seeing for themselves&amp;quot; if they can REALLY type in whatever they want and show it to the world. so i guess people who do things like that should at least receive some warning instead of complete banning (unless, of course, they do it to several pages, and should really know better). next higher offender would be those who upload content for the purpose of advertizing their account. the worst offenders are those who place malicious or abhorent material on articles (spam links, or random wiki code with no data in them). So i suppose a system could be written around those levels, yes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:out of curiousity, would you think it proper to look through all the currently blocked IPs in reguards to this, and unblock a few? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:37, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I took the initiative and looked through all the blocked IPs, taking mercy on a few of them (and cross referencing with the Wikipedia list of IPs as well, just to be sure). I think the remainder of the IPs on our list are questionable in what they have given enough to keep them there...i think. *ponders* again, you can have a look to see. As always, an ongoing process. let's hope for the best. *salute* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:35, 28 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed you seem to increase the expiry time for vandals posting vulgar links from time to time. I just don't understand the sense of it. As the IPs nor the posted links are never the same, this won't prevent further spamming. I'm not against your time regulations, I just don't see the sense. Mind to explain?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:21, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I'm random. That's basically the whole summary of it all. :D Plus i do think the IPs are all connected, as the neoboard talk page has been a large target as of late, with the offender(s) possibly having several different IPs in place. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:29, 15 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==HTML-wiki-converter==&lt;br /&gt;
I just didn't know who to speak with so I speak with you. Your user page says that you know a bit HTML. Do you know the [http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/index.html HTML-wiki-converter?] I thought it might be helpful. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 13:12, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for the link. this is a very helpful teaching tool. It can allow those who understand html to understand wiki markup better (and vice versa), and allow faster conversion of data. while looking into this, i found [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools|other helpful tools]] as well. Lots of things to look into. Again, thank you. *bows* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:55, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Your edit to Galem==&lt;br /&gt;
I do not get the edit to Galem. You said it was &amp;quot;vulgar&amp;quot; what was that? Also, it looked like Galem lost his heart to me, look closely at the silliouette. --Unsigned by 66.63.86.156 00:55, 12 Dec 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's nothing more than the artists whim, similar to the switching of the jaw colour with Darigan. Also, Neopets would never visibly show something like that to users, especially when the image is right there in fron of us. Seriously, why would the TNT show that to a mostly younger crowd? They wouldn't. exactly. you can look into it all you want, but that didn't and couldn't happen. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::His death seems that was to me. [[User:66.63.86.156|66.63.86.156]] 13:45, 12 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
Hey there Jacob. What does the Red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot; on the Recent updates page mean? Ive never seen them on another wiki before lol. --[[User:Lew|Lew]] 18:01, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It shows whenever any edit to a page occurs. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:20, 13 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::It depends on the preferences of the wiki. In some wikis, only sysops are able to see them. You can klick the &amp;quot;diff&amp;quot; link of the edit and mark it as patrolled meaning that the difference was checked by somebody. This will remove the red &amp;quot;!&amp;quot;. The question is, is it useful to make the feature available to all users? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:04, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oh. I can't say I've noticed. I usually go through all the edits on the Recent Changes page to check they are all valid, patrolled or not... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:39, 14 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've begun to take addvantage of this feature and patrol the articles as per my duties as admin (or should at least be my duties). This will signify that a user has looked over the data and has seen it and another user doesn't need to look it over (they still can of course). Having this be a sysop exclusive would be much better too. *ponders* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Site protection==&lt;br /&gt;
I noticed that in the discussion about Galgarroth you said that you will suspend everybody who claims Galgarroth is dead for a while. Don't you have the possibility to &amp;quot;protect&amp;quot; an article/make it editable only by registred members or sysops? I think the link should look like [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Galgarroth&amp;amp;action=protect this].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 03:30, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I just found [[NeoDex:Protected page]]. I really shouldn't tell a sysop what he can do on a wiki. A big sorry for that. :( --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 08:33, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not wishing to hijack this question from Jacob, but should edits to the Galgarroth article that contravene the discussion continue, the page may be protected in addition to a temporary suspension, yes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we are all editors, suggestions are always welcome. :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:59, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's really alright Himmelsdemon. :D Macbeth is right though, that we may need to protect the article should edits continue as they were, even though i would like to leave the article open for all users to edit, as it really isn't a very large or controversial character like Lord Darigan/Dr. Frank Sloth/Fyora (and i do worry about those articles should disputes arise :o ). But it will be done should it occur. will hope it will never have to come to that. *fingers crossed* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:13, 15 Dec 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, now I have to officially ask you to make [[NeoBoard]] editable for registered users only. It drives me mad. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:11, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==User Page Protection==&lt;br /&gt;
Would you like to put the '''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{protected}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;''' template on your user page? I won't do it myself as, well, it's up to you if you want it, as it is not a mainspace article. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:32, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think the template would make the page look a little off, so i'm fine with just having it be protected and not have it be notified as such with template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Coding update==&lt;br /&gt;
I saw at [[Talk:Jelly World]] that there will be an update for the wiki. May I ask what exactly is planned?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 07:11, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I talked to Yukio about it, and said he would contact the proper people about it. Will hopefully hear something more soon. perhaps we could include your idea? *points to topic below*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Protecting Talk Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
We can't start protected talk pages, vandalism or not. They are designed specifically to remain unprotected so that the contents of the article, whether protected or otherwise, can be discussed... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:16, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, maybe the whole load of Neodex/index.phtml or whatever should be deleted and we would look what happens. (Just adding it as you reminded me of this, Macbeth). Maybe the wiki could be coded so that we can protect the page from editing by IPs, but not from editing by registered users? *pokes comment above* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:03, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are right Macbeth, in that we can't protect talk pages. A goof by me on my part, and i'll make sure all talk pages hence forth remain free of protection. Though i do have to admit the spamming infuriates me...and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But again, no more protecting them. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Himmelsdemon? That's a wonderful idea. Having only registered users being able to edit articles would totally eliminate the problem with spamming IPs, allowing us to overview and control what goes into the NeoDex easier. It would then force everyone to log in of course, and i think spammers would then just create accounts to spam with, but it least it would be easier to maintain the integrity of the NeoDex. Perhaps this could be included in the updating to take place? *points to topic above* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:05, 28 Feb 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think I expressed a bit wrong what I meant. The idea was to be able to protect pages so that only registered users are able to edit them, not making the wiki &amp;quot;IP-free&amp;quot;. We had this before on our German wiki, but I think this made the wiki less attractive to writers. People seem to be somewhat...afraid of logging in into new pages.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 11:40, 1 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:And yet willing to edit and display an IP address... Heh. Wikipedia does have a semi-protection system to block unregistered users editing certain pages. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:23, 2 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spam protection==&lt;br /&gt;
In reference to the above: I also recently found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features this]. Any way it could be used in the wiki filtering codes like &amp;lt;a href=... and [url]?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Those are some nice features which could be used, and i really like the idea of the &amp;quot;SpamBlacklist extension&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ConfirmEdit extension&amp;quot;. SpamBlacklist extension could currently be used, but we will still need to update the wiki to use ConfirmEdit extension. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 09:59, 11 Mar 2007 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Games Category==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob, I added the category:games stuff to Snowmuncher and Jelly Blobs, because without them they don't show up on the main [[Games]] page, which seems pretty undesirable to me.  Is there a reason *not* to have them?  [[User:Belltower|Belltower]] 10:06, 20 Apr 2007 (CDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

[[Sophie]] is hard at work, brewing up one of her powerful potions. She isn't the most careful witch in [[Neopia]], however, so it's up to you to help her get every ingredient safely into her cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How to play==&lt;br /&gt;
When Sophie throws one of her ingredients into the air, use her wand to bounce the [[Item]] across the room and into the bubbling pot. Keep the ingredients away from her hungry [[Meowclops]], though, and make sure that nothing hits the floor. If you happen to drop five ingredients on the floor, her potion is ruined and the game is over!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time an ingredient is thrown, try and use the far right of the wand to effectively move the item towards the cauldron. If the item happens to bounce off the cauldron and to the left onto the floor, position the wand beneath the window to send it directly in the cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you manage to hit the [[Droolik]] with an ingredient a gem will fall down. Catching it with the wand will give you a power up. The blue will expand the wand, the pink will shrink it, and the green will give you an extra life. The effects will last until the next time an ingredient is dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Featured game during the [[Daily Dare]] on March 14th, 2007&lt;br /&gt;
*Type '''hungrymeowclops''' during the game to get an extra life.  Note that the upper limit on lives is six, even if you catch multiple green gems or use this code and catch a gem.&lt;br /&gt;

'''''Jelly Blobs of Doom''''' is a [[game]] starring a [[Jelly]] [[Chomby]]. In it, your goal is to eat jelly blobs that are smaller than yourself, and avoid those that are bigger. Eating smaller jelly blobs gradually increases your size, but if you run into a larger blob you will get devoured, meaning game over.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Codes===&lt;br /&gt;
*Typing '''rainbownegg''' during gameplay will cause a Rainbow Negg to appear. The Negg is worth 20 pts.&lt;br /&gt;
*Typing '''fishnegg''' during gameplay will cause a Fish Negg to appear. The Negg is worth 50 pts.&lt;br /&gt;
*Typing '''marissa''' on the screen where it says &amp;quot;Press the Spacebar to begin&amp;quot; causes the text &amp;quot;(Now are you happy?)&amp;quot; to appear. This code doesn't seem to affect gameplay in any way.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rapidly pressing random keys during gameplay causes a gigantic blue jelly blob (like the one on the startup screen) to appear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Since the release of the game, the text &amp;quot;''Movie coming Winter 2008. Keep checking this page for updates!''&amp;quot; has appeared on the description, possibly an advertisement for the [[Neopets Movie]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In this game you have to guide Dieter the Polarchuck (a very hungry Polarchuck who just loves munching snow!) to the bottom of each level before the time runs out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How to Play==&lt;br /&gt;
In every level of the game, the aim is to eat the coloured blocks of snow and get to the bottom. Use the arrow keys to move Dieter around and the spacebar button to munch the snowblocks. The colourful snowblocks take only one bite to eat and the darker blocks of dirt take two bites to eat. All connected blocks of the same color (except dirt) will disappear when Dieter eats. Unsupported blocks (blocks not sharing a side with another, supported block of the same color) will slowly collapse, and will cost Dieter a life if they drop on him.  Moving down the page, Dieter will come across green gems that are worth an average of 100 extra points. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the levels progress, new colours of blocks and blocks with special effects are added. On level 2 a new block is introduced with a Snow Wurm inside. Eating the snow underneath will release the Wurm and expose the purple gem (worth an average of 200 points) that it was guarding. Stay away from the Snow Wurms or else they will kill Dieter if they touch him. Ice with clocks in them add an extra 10 seconds to the timer, ice with grapes are worth 50 points and ice with an eyeball inside are worth 20 points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In every level there is a 90 second time limit and the depth starts off at 50 meters and increases by 10 meters per level. Failing to reach the bottom of a level before time runs out will cost a life and restart the level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Health===&lt;br /&gt;
Every time Dieter takes a bite the bloated meter will increase by 5%. At the beginning of each level the meter is reset to zero. Once he reaches 100% he cannot eat anymore otherwise a life is lost. To avoid dying, there are red bottles of '''Bloat-B-Gone''' medicine dispersed throughout the snowblocks. Eating the medicine will restore 50% of health, however the total percentage cannot go into the negatives. So if the meter says 30% and he eats the medicine the meter will go to 0% not -20%. Lose all three lives and the game is over.&lt;br /&gt;
*Typing '''buuuurrrrrrrrp''' will gain 50% of your health back. One use per game.&lt;br /&gt;
