Welcome to The Legendary Starfy Wiki. The wiki about the Legendary Starfy series that anyone can edit!

Should you wish to contribute, here are great starting points:

  • Help:Editing will give you a tutorial on wiki markup, from basic editing to more advanced tagging. Wiki markup is simple to learn and easy to remember.
  • Your userpage is a great place to tell the wiki about yourself, if you want to make one.
  • Recent changes allows you to see what pages other people have been editing, and it gives you a good idea on where you can start helping.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of our administrators on their respective talk pages, and make sure you sign your name on talk pages with 4 tildes "~~~~".

We hope that you make many legendary contributions!

Welcome Starphoria! If you need anything let us know! And happy holidays! -The Forgotten Beast 20:14, 8 December 2011 (EST)

Re:Active?

Yeah sorry, I've on Christmas vacation, anyway I deleted the articles you marked and as for your request to be a staff member there a two requirements that need to be met before I can give you staff member status, first you need to have more than 500 or 1000 edits and second I need to ask the other staff members if they approve, once that's been done your in, but since you want a temporary status... well that's never been requested before so I'll have to run that by the others first. If you change your mind and want to be a permanent member let me know. Also I'll make sure to get the ball rolling for changing the featured article. Happy Holidays. -The Forgotten Beast 20:26, 16 December 2011 (EST)

700th page?!

Well color me impressed Starphoria, anyway I guess you've proven yourself to me at least so I'm giving you temporary admin status on Starfy Wiki throughout the holiday season and maybe beyond if you're interested, in which case I'll have to take it up with the others. Good luck, I'm counting on you!-The Forgotten Beast 21:41, 19 December 2011 (EST)

We probably should tell him, although he looks like a spammer to me... -The Forgotten Beast 22:35, 19 December 2011 (EST)

Reply

Yeah then block him, and I agree on using F-Zero who's online template, do you know how to make it so? -The Forgotten Beast 21:02, 20 December 2011 (EST)

Also keep your eye out for a User by the name of McAusten who's been trolling several NIWA wikis. -The Forgotten Beast 21:06, 20 December 2011 (EST)

588 edits? Great job Starphoria! If you ever decide for a permanent spot let me know! -The Forgotten Beast 00:20, 24 December 2011 (EST)

Congratulations!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are now a permanent staff member of Starfy Wiki! Continue to make the wiki proud! -The Forgotten Beast 10:34, 24 December 2011 (EST)

You've been added to the staff list Starphoria so feel free to change your profile pic. -The Forgotten Beast 13:26, 24 December 2011 (EST)

RE: IcarusPedia

You should've told me sooner! I've been waiting for that thing to start up for months and help to get it approved by NIWA! -The Forgotten Beast 23:59, 12 January 2012 (EST)

So does the wiki need a character infobox template? If so I designed this little number in case your interested -->
{{{name}}}
{{{image}}}
Aliases {{{aliases}}}
Homeland {{{homeland}}}
Family {{{family}}}
Affiliations {{{affiliations}}}
Race {{{race}}}
Occupation {{{occupation}}}
First Appearance {{{first appearance}}}
Voiced by {{{voiceactor}}}

It can be changed or customized if you want, that is if you want the template that is. -The Forgotten Beast 15:18, 13 January 2012 (EST)

Well as you can see on User:BattleFranky202's talk page you can see that I'm quite qualified in the template department, so are there any other templates you need? -The Forgotten Beast 15:39, 13 January 2012 (EST)
My skills with css are good as I did design the Starfy Wiki Monobook and part of the Donkey Kong Wiki Monobook and many of the monobooks on wikia before those dirty rats changed the layouts of all wikia wikis... and do you require a delete, stub and wikidump template as well? -The Forgotten Beast 15:52, 13 January 2012 (EST)

Re:Opinion?

I replied on the Main Page's talk page... -The Forgotten Beast 20:42, 21 January 2012 (EST)

When did we become affiliated with Lylat Wiki and Earthbound Wiki? :o -The Forgotten Beast 21:41, 21 January 2012 (EST)

Smashwiki

Starphoria, I'm currently at the DK wiki chat discussing about the affiliation with smashwiki with one of their admins, mind coming over for a brief second and helping me explain the importance of this? DK Wiki IRC -The Forgotten Beast 14:40, 22 January 2012 (EST)

I couldn't find any affiliates list on Smashwiki so its possible they may not be doing it... but I think I found us 2 potential Smashwiki admins we can appeal to, the others appear to be either hotheaded or inactive (mostly inactive). User:PenguinofDeath and User:Toomai. -The Forgotten Beast 16:12, 22 January 2012 (EST)

今更 Affiliation

I've sent everyone a message regarding the affiliation with 今更, check your NIWA Network inboxes :). --Torchickens 17:21, 29 January 2012 (EST)

Okay

Thank you for letting me know.Joeypstarfy 19:08, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Custom Robo Wikia

No clue, I never even played a Custom Robo game... <:( -The Forgotten Beast 06:16, 15 February 2012 (EST)

That sounds great, but I can't see anywhere about Custom Robo Wiki agreeing to move? I know a little bit about the franchise, specifically about NOISE; the company who develops the games, but other than that I haven't played any Custom Robo games either. --Torchickens 17:16, 15 February 2012 (EST)
The discussion is not just on the wiki itself. After when they said that moving is an "option", we talked about it elsewhere for awhile, and I messaged them again because I couldn't get ahold of them, and they were wondering who is going to host them. --Starphoria (C·E) 17:30, 15 February 2012 (EST)
Oh, right OK. Sorry, I just felt a little confused. --Torchickens 17:39, 15 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Starfy Wiki Forum Banner

That sounds like a great idea. What kind of banner did you have in mind, do you mean one saying "The Legendary Starfy forums"? I'm not sure what we should do with the old forums, (the watercooler) as it's still based on the one on Wikia, and the navigation box doesn't work, do you have any ideas? There are numerous threads, under the "forum:" space which are now inaccessible. We also now have a Starfy board on NIWA forums, so should we have a page like StarfyWiki:Forums linking to both?

On a related note, there are also blog posts from before Starfy Wiki became independent. I'm not sure what should be done about those either, because Starfy Wiki no longer has a 'blog' button on the userspaces. I'll ask the others what they think about it. --Torchickens 13:10, 19 February 2012 (EST)
Oh, do you mean one like this? Yeah, I'd go with "The Legendary Starfy Wiki". We could probably put Starfy, Starly and Moe on it. Sorry for the confusion, I feel like an idiot now. --Torchickens 14:17, 19 February 2012 (EST)
I'll go and ask Moydow on F-Zero Wiki if he can make one for us. --Torchickens 14:32, 19 February 2012 (EST)
I've just left Moydow a message on his talk page, you can find the discussion here. --Torchickens 15:06, 19 February 2012 (EST)
I like it. :) I've left some comments on Moydow's talk page, and gave him our thanks. Do you think its OK? --Torchickens 20:31, 19 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Anonrights

Thanks for letting me know! That sounds like good idea, but I'm worried that if we get a genuine contributor they'd have to wait a few days before becoming 'autoconfirmed'. Do you think that a Captcha for the registration form would work (probably something like this)? It would certainly limit the spam to a more tolerable level, if not eliminate it for a while. Another alternative I've heard actually works quite well is the 'honeypot captcha', which blocks spambots that try to fill in an invisible form (because spambots like to fill in every form they can find) but I don't know how it works. --Torchickens 14:51, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Yeah, I'll wait and see what the others say. I'll send a message to Tappy on NIWA Network asking what he recommends. Torchickens 15:37, 21 February 2012 (EST)
Also, lol! I can already imagine a day when the bots get so advanced they become too hard to distinguish from real users o_#. --Torchickens 15:42, 21 February 2012 (EST)
I've just sent Tappy a message asking for his suggestions and sent a carbon copy of the message to everyone else. --Torchickens 16:55, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Huzzah

Yes, they sent me a reply on Feb 15. I'm glad to announce Starfy Wiki now has its first inter-language affiliate. :D --Torchickens 19:28, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Yes, there is also a Japanese Starfy fan-listing. I wanted to contact the website Colorful Planet about a possible affiliation, but I don't know where to find their details :(. --Torchickens 20:08, 21 February 2012 (EST)
Yeah, that's true. I was looking for something like an email address on the Colorful Planet website. I've thanked 今更 imasara for adding the link to Starfy Wiki and told them to please excuse my bad Japanese. --Torchickens 20:44, 21 February 2012 (EST)
On another related note, I'm still awaiting a response from Wikifang, the Telefang Wiki. Blaziken257 (who I know through GCL forums) said he thought affiliation would be a great idea, and that he would ask three of the other staff (RacieB, Sanky, and Kimbles) what they thought, but unfortunately I haven't heard a response from Blaziken257 yet. He said that he was very busy lately, and he hasn't edited the Wiki since the last reply. I might consider asking RacieB, Sanky and Kimbles when they have the time individually if I don't hear from Blaziken257 soon, but I'd like to leave it for a couple of weeks first. --Torchickens 21:05, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Footer

Sure thing. -The Forgotten Beast 04:14, 23 February 2012 (EST)

Re:Admin Category

Done. --Torchickens 16:29, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Re:E-mail

Yes, that's right. We set one up because all of the other NIWA Wikis had one. The address was located under the "gam1ng.com" domain but it looks like the domain name has since been terminated since Tappy changed the service provider from HostGator(?) to CloudFlare. I have sent youa copy of the original details regarding the email account details. I'm sorry that you didn't get the message, I should have let you know about the e-mail account the moment you became a staff member. I'll contact Tappy to inquire where the address was moved, and I'll confirm that we want to install the Delete:User and HoneyPot extensions to limit our spam-bot problems. --Torchickens 08:38, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Re:Special:UserMerge

That's awesome. :) Thanks a lot for keeping in touch with Tappy. I have now a message to Tappy about the global email address and spam blacklists (cc to all Starfy Wiki staff, as usual). so I'll let you know when we get a reply. --Torchickens 09:44, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Re: (3)

You're welcome! It took a while... Nothing major, but do you know if there is any way to check the IP Addresses of registered users, or would that require an extension? I have removed all of the users who were blocked for spam, but even after that the Special:UserList was still quite cluttered. I've had to resort to doing a Google search for different usernames to see if those other users are legitimate or have submitted spam on other sites. --Torchickens 15:32, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Sounds good. I don't see any reasons why all staff shouldn't get it. --Torchickens 15:51, 8 March 2012 (EST)
Great. Thanks! :) --Torchickens 16:01, 8 March 2012 (EST)
