I saw you camelcased the comingsoon template for readability. You don't need to do that. The new wiki software allows for spaces in names so we can write articles with regular capitalization of links. Also, even if an article is titled [[Mason]], [[mason]] will link to it just fine. We probably should encourage people to quit camelcasing now the software no longer needs it. - [[User:Mgm|Mgm]] 04:55, 30 January 2007 (MST)
==Wiki Block Too?==
So why block MMM from the wiki too? What harm can he do to the wiki as he is not a sysop? I do fully agree with the idea if they were a sysop but otherwise it makes no sense.--[[User:MafiaSSK|MafiaSSK]] 20:09, 2 June 2010 (EDT)

Hi Flay, I've just dropped in a new template for pages on roles.
==Just in Case you didn't read It==
I'll work on including the neccesary coding to cut display for template parameters that aren't used later when I figure out what coding is required for that in wikipedia. - [[User:Mgm|Mgm]] 02:00, 31 January 2007 (MST)
:Essentially it's <nowiki>{{{param|default value}}} or {{{param|}}}</nowiki> to leave it blank.

Why are there not enough pro-town roles in The Usual Suspects?  Why can'tr the baddies be pro-town, as in (to give just one example amongst many) Mini 250: Villains of Gotham City? [[User:Mr Stoofer|Stoofer]] 09:34, 31 January 2007 (MST)
== {{tl|blocked}} template ==


==Stoofer's random thoughts about the new Wiki==
i noticed you've been using this template, so i wanted to let you know that i've made some modifications... i've inserted 3 optional parameters so we can show how long users are blocked for (default is  indefinitely) along w/ an expiration date if it is ''not'' indefinite, and also ''why'' users were blocked (default is spam)... just thought you would like to know... also, i'm working on putting the non-indefinite blocks into a different category, probably [[:Category:Temporary Blocks]]... let me know if you have any criticisms...<br/> -- [[User:Dani Banani|Dani]] [[User_talk:Dani Banani|Banani]] 22:52, 5 November 2007 (MST)


For want of a better place, I thought this would be a good spot to note down some of the thoughts I've had about the new wiki, now that I've been playing with it for a couple of hours
== Spam Attack? ==
* It seems to me to be pretty far advanced - what's stopping you from making it go live and freezing the old wiki completely
* Will [wiki] tags on the forum point here?
* Is the picture set in stone?  Why not have the forum logo?
* Why can't we upload (not complaining as such, I'd just be interested in the reasons)
* Who are the sysops and what are their powers (I know what a sysop is)?
* Is it OK to pester you with these sorts of questions?

Thanks for the help with [[User:Mokina]]! I forgot about redirection...
I tried to upload a PNG file and no, it doesn't work from my compy either. {{unsigned|DrippingGoofball|12:57, April 9, 2008}}


why do you have [[Mr. Flay]] redirecting to [[User:Mr. Flay]]?.. shouldn't it be the other way around, since Mr. Flay is your name on the forum boards?.. i'm sure you have a reason for the rhyme, i just haven't noodled it yet...

The game on the site in question works differently than on MafiaScum. It is known beforehand who the cop is and that he's sane. I'll provide links if necessary.


== i think i figured it out ==
Forgot the tildes, so…


ok, one reason i think you may have it set up this way is so that when people want to leave you a message like this one, they just edit your discussion page... but you could have your [[Talk:Mr. Flay]] page redirect to your [[User talk:Mr. Flay]] page... (that's how i set mine up)... the only reason this bugs me is when someone is browsing through the '''''Category:Scummers''''' page (and other similar pages), your name appears under 'M', but it's listed as [[User:Mr. Flay]]... it just bugs me, b/c everything under 'M', should start w/ 'M', not 'U', but that's just me... i didn't want to edit your page in case you had a reason, so yeah...
