:In order to get permission to create pages, you need to be an autoconfirmed member. This happens automatically when you have been a member for at least 21 days, and have made at least 25 edits.

== PK Star == | |||
Have you ever wanted to give a user special recognition they deserve for their help on WikiBound? I made a reward tool inspired from Wikipedia's barnstars and SmashWiki's Shiningstars, I call it the PK Star! For an example on how it works let me give you the first one: | |||
{{PK Star|EarthBound is awesome and deserves a wiki as part of the NIWA, and you made it happen! Thank you for making WikiBound! The EarthBound series deserves more recognition and WikiBound will sure help, so let's all work together to make it happen!}} | |||
Here's the code on how to use it: <code>{<nowiki/>{PK Star|(Reason)}}</code>of course just substitute "reason" for whatever you want to thank them for.<span style="font-family: Algerian;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0087ff"> '''''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<span style="color:dodgerblue;">Supα</span>]] [[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<span style="color:dodgerblue;">Toαd 64</span>]]'''''</span> [[File:Toad.jpg|20px]] 08:45, 24 September 2019 (UTC) | |||

:All set. Also, have you considered putting your signature in a template? [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 00:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC) | |||
::Good idea actually.

:::If you are interested in the idea: On some wikis where I have a custom signature, I have <code>{{subst:User:Tacopill/sig2}}</code>. When I sign something in, it places <code>{{User:Tacopill/sig}}</code> into the text. See the source of [[nwiki:User:Tacopill/sig2|this]] as an example.

== Two questions == | |||
There's two things I wanted to ask: | |||
1. Would it be alright if made an article about EarthBound fan games/hacks? There are two that I think are notable, those being Mother: Cognitive Dissonance and EarthBound: The Hallowen Hack. | |||
2. If you don't mind can you vote on the proposal about which name should be used for EarthBound Beginnings in the official wiki nomenclature? The proposal has been up for 6 months and no one voted, so even if it's your vote alone I can go through with whichever is chosen (this was started before I realized the voting template was made solely for featured articles). Thanks <span style="font-family: Algerian;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0087ff"> '''''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<span style="color:dodgerblue;">Omegα</span>]] [[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<span style="color:dodgerblue;">Toαd </span>]][[Special:contributions/Ultimate Toad|<span style="color:dodgerblue;">64</span>]]'''''</span> [[File:Toad.jpg|20px]] 03:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC) | |||

== Rename == | |||
Hello! I see you get rename requests around here. I was thinking my username be more tailored to the wiki. Can I be "InconceivableInsectizoid!"? That sounds like it could be a smalltime ''EarthBound'' enemy. [[User:InconceivableInsectizoid|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:InconceivableInsectizoid|talk]]) 14:45, 7 September 2020 (UTC) | |||

== Problem with gifs == | |||
I've been having issues with the gifs I've been uploading here. You might be able to see with the recent PK Love gifs I uploaded, none of them can display the thumbnail. This isn't the first time this happened, I uploaded several other gifs before (even ones I made from scratch) and it still has this problem forcing me to delete them. It's odd because these PK Love gifs were from [https://earthbound.fandom.com/es/wiki/PSI_Amor another wiki] which displays them perfectly fine, and other gifs I made myself work elsewhere. I also tried different browsers like Chrome to see if they're loaded but it still doesn't work. So what I wonder is if it's a fixable problem is with this site, or if the gifs just don't work properly. If it's unfixable I could find workarounds like uploading static screenshots. | |||
On a related note, another site related problem is the complete inability to use this site on my WiiU and 3DS since the end of 2016, as each time I click on here I get "Error code 112-1035" and it refuses to connect to the page. I read it's because the systems are incompatible with the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-add-custom-root-certs-to-the-wii-us-browser.468201/ SSL cipher suites] (not the ssl certificates themselves contrary to former belief). I don't know how this stuff works but I assume cipher suites are different from the certs themselves, though for security reasons I don't believe downgrading the certs is worth it, cipher suites might be different idk. | |||
Anyway the gifs are the main issues that I wonder if it's fixable. The latter's no biggie since I have workarounds, though uploading screenshots of the games directly from the WiiU would be useful, it doesn't matter either way. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">'''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<font color="dodgerblue">Omegα</font>]][[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<font color="red">Toαd</font>]][[Special:contributions/Ultimate Toad|<font color="mediumseagreen">64</font>]]'''</span> [[File:Toadsig.png|20px]] 04:49, 9 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
:I passed what you said on to the server team, and 1 of them said the following: | |||
<pre> | |||
:* The WiiU issue is probably because the WiiU doesn't have Cloudflare as a trusted CA(edited) | |||
:* It's an old system so wouldn't surprise me | |||
:* I need an example gif to see what the thumbnail issue is | |||
:* Ah | |||
:* It's the same issue as with another wiki | |||
:* Same wiki actually | |||
:* I doubled the shelltime to 10mins | |||
:* Looks like gifs have a habit of causing thumbnail issues. | |||
</pre> | |||
:Let me know if this improves things. | |||

::It still seems to have trouble creating thumbnails, I'll probably have to try something else for now. I have other PSI gifs and I'll see if they have the same issue or not. (3ds and WiiU are pretty much dead so chances are their browsers will never be updated to support cloudflare lol) | |||
::'''EDIT''': Did some experimenting and noticed something that might help narrow this issue down. It turns out the gifs have no thumbnail issues as long as you don't resize it, in other words the thumbnail will display as long as the gif is not shrunken or enlarged. I reuploaded the [[PK Love]] gifs and put them on the page, and as you can see, the thumbnails display correctly when unmodified, but if resized then the thumbnails don't display. Hopefully this helps. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">'''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<font color="dodgerblue">Omegα</font>]][[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<font color="red">Toαd</font>]][[Special:contributions/Ultimate Toad|<font color="mediumseagreen">64</font>]]'''</span> [[File:Toadsig.png|20px]] 23:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
:::Thats likely because there is no thumbnail being generated, and it is simply directly linking straight to the file. Anyway, I know how to likely fix the thumbnail issue as I recently did (and by me I mean sove) on Pikmin Fanon, so hopefully it won't be an issue anymore once I can implement it.

== Permission to edit the css == | |||
Not sure where to ask this but are there any requirements to becoming interface administrator here? I won't be making drastic changes, it'll mostly be minor aesthetic changes or bugfixes. The footer bug might require more backend coding since I can't reposition it via css. | |||
On a side note what's the code to modify the helpful page sidebox? It's the only sidebar box I can't modify, I already know the rest (#p-navigation div, #p-search div, etc). Thanks | |||
'''EDIT''': Turns out the footer may just be on my end since others say it looks fine, though if it isn't what happens is it extends into the sidebar. Instead I was wondering if you're able to see the site logo on monobook, for me it's invisible. If it is for you I will be able to fix that. --<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">'''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<font color="dodgerblue">Omegɑ</font>]][[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<font color="red">Toɑd</font>]][[Special:contributions/Ultimate Toad|<font color="mediumseagreen">64</font>]]'''</span> [[File:Toadsig.png|20px]] 03:15, 7 March 2021 (UTC) | |||

== Unofficial Sources == | |||
Heya! I saw you leave someone else a suspension note for posting images from unofficial sources. Now, I always link my images out of common courtesy and to share my sources with other fandom members easier, but what would an unofficial source be? Fan art? I probably intend to post self-taken screenshots at some point, but I wouldn't know how to credit those properly. I assume "self-taken screenshot" is a fine source though... Thanks! [[User:Mysthalery|Mysthalery]] ([[User talk:Mysthalery|talk]]) 09:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
:You're on the right track there. The file that I was referencing came from DeviantArt, rather than a official Nintendo website, fan news site or media site with officially published art. DeviantArt is an art site with people loading up their own art, not official art, so us having it here makes it look like it is an official piece of art. | |||
:Fan-generated content is allowed under specific circumstances, and only allowed when we take steps to make sure that we show the difference, that we give the artist credit and explain why we are using fan art. This includes "self-taken screenshots" since we often are lifting them directly from the game and have a fair-use justification for their use. | |||
:All of the above is some of the reasons it is import to link to the page the download came from. Hope this clears it up. [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 12:10, 24 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
Makes sense to me. Oh, one question though, in retrospect, I realize I uploaded some fan translated images, but they are official in source: these three ([[:File:Doug_bio.png]], [[:File:Lloyd_bio.png]], [[:File:Ana_bio.png]]) to be exact. I'd have little means to find the original Japanese versions though. What's the stance on fan translated images? [[User:Mysthalery|Mysthalery]] ([[User talk:Mysthalery|talk]]) 21:57, 24 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
:Linking to the fan translation is fine, for now. If an official translation is released, then we should replace these with stuff from that. | |||
