For long names, make the short one as a redirect to the formal one, which is what I have done somewhat :-).

Make the text of the redirect aticle:

#REDIRECT [[the name]]

Thanks.Voice of All(MTG) 16:37, 13 December 2005 (CST)

See, You say that like its obvious or I should know what you are talking about, heh. Besides, a few of the formal names aren't really proper themselves. How does the redirect thing work? VestDan 16:40, 13 December 2005 (CST)

When I said "always", I ment as a rule of thumb, that is how it is done at Wikipedia and Britanicia ect...I should have worded that better, but I was rushing to get the stubs out of the way, plus I have had a 5 hour headache that is getting worse by the minute.

Anyway, are you a sysop yet? I know I haven't been promoted yet. If you are, you will see a "Delete" tab and a "Protect" tab. We might have to wait, as only admins can delete articles.Voice of All(MTG) 17:08, 13 December 2005 (CST)

So many stubs... make mine eyes bleed... Finished with Weatherlight saga characters, started with Mirari saga and decided to call it a night. VestDan 01:51, 14 December 2005 (CST)

Categories

I noticed that you fixed to incorrect categories. I am cut and pasting these in, and sometimes I leave in a wrong category. Please correct them on site, you need not explain yourself.

I wonder when that Logo will be fixed...:-(.Voice of All^Talk 15:22, 14 December 2005 (CST)

I am saying that you don't have to explain, not that you do. That is because it is tedious, as you said.Voice of All^Talk 15:42, 14 December 2005 (CST)

Template

Try writing {{c|CARD'S NAME}} for a few cards you know, and then clicking it, like . I think I like the purple, as opposed to regular blue links. Press cntrol-f5 first, to refresh the mediawiki JS in your browser. Make sure you are not blocking popups.Voice of All^Talk 16:43, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

Oh, i think i get it now... VestDan 17:58, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

• In response to your question to The Squirle Master, a ret-con is when something considered fact in a work of fiction has been retroactively changed by a later addition to the series. For example, if Batman were to be killed, and there was a big funeral for him, then six months down the line he returns, the events of the night he 'died' will have been ret-conned to show how he didn't really die.

Something that anyone with a passing familiarity with Star Wars fiction knows all too well. Virtually everything ever written about Boba Fett got blasted to crap when Episode II came up, so they had to go back and explain how they weren't completely wrong about everything. :) --Binary 13:09, 31 May 2006 (CDT)

I already told him that in a PM ages ago, but thanks nonetheless ;) The Squirle master

Articles for Deletion

hi, same entries have been there for some time, it should be safe to delete them. --Oracle of Truth 05:29, 18 May 2006 (CDT)

I wasn't aware that was actually my job... I'll get on it this evening

Guilds

I'll be happy to further detail the rest of the Guild pages. It'll take me some time to do it though. Randel 17:45, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

VestDan,

Thought you ought to know that I've gotten kind of side tracked. I'd be happy to conintue the responsibility of detailing the various guild pages, but it will be quite some time before I can get to it or even come back to contributing here at all. Sorry, Randel 17:04, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

Oh-so many individual MtG character stubs

Why not just make one wiki for all the minor characters, until they are prominent enough? Just a suggestion. Also, can we get groups/teams up on MTGSWiki, please?--Magic Mage 06:10, 23 November 2006 (CST)

Thanks for your reply regarding this matter, VestDan. Apropos the MtG character wikis I shall say that it's all too justified and practical to leave it as it is. As for the teams, I also see the "flaws", shall we say, of this system. Anyhow, thanks.--Magic Mage 03:07, 24 November 2006 (CST)

Please do this, VestDan.

Please delete the Loran16 page, and move it to Loran16's userpage. Reason: Significant, etc. Thanks, VestDan.--Magic Mage 06:19, 30 November 2006 (CST)

You might also consider the Diggy page, which has identical content as the User:Diggy page. Ta.--Magic Mage 06:37, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Because you can do it, please delete the Ironmaiden article, which has absolutely no bearing with MTGS. Thanks, VestDan.

Sorry to be a pain in the rear, but hey I can't do this, now can I? :) --Magic Mage 06:41, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Me again, yes, that's right. Anyway, this time please delete NecroBlade's selfless wiki entry that will be of utmost succour to progeny. Ta. The info is also doubled on his userpage.--Magic Mage 07:08, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Hi!:) Well, firstly, thanks for fixing up those pages, and secondly, sorry for categorising the disambiguation page(s) (Loren).--Magic Mage 09:30, 2 December 2006 (CST)
