Greetings 2.0
Yes, I understand. I only meant it would not have become so great without D. Cello, he was as you say an important factor in this wiki's history.

Is it true you lost three others this week, along with Cello? Btw, noticed you archived everything else, I hope I didn't mess that up or something by posting a new message.

 * Yes, AssassinRome and Subject 16* were demoted and Nostalgia AC was forced to leave due to personal problems. We gotta pimp it up a bit again... -- Master Sima Yi 07:45, April 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Darn, that leaves just the eight of you. Agh, I've got to hold myself back... With the sudden shortage of editors, I want to rush in and become a regular editor here... Much as I'd like to I can't, my plate is full handling the Call of Juarez Wiki and RL stuff... I can tell you this, if AC outlives Call of Juarez and they are still great games like the first three... you probably won't be able to get rid of me :P
 * Back on the serious side though, really, if there's anything I can do to help just let me know :)

Hello mentor.

I have a (at least I think so) simple question. I'm not new to the wiki at all, but it's only very recently Iv'e began to edit stuff when I see somethng is wrong or something is needed and so on. My question is, how do you "make a word or sentence a link?". for example, if a sentence containing the name "Rodrigo Borgia" needs editing, and thus not having Rodrigo Borgia at the same spot, how do I make it so that if someone clicks the "Rodrigo Borgia" I typed, it automaticly takes them to the article with information about him? Same thing for sentences, I want to be able to make certain words, names or sentences link to the articles about them, how do i do that?

I hope I was clear enough, thank you for your time, mentor.Superfritiof851 16:32, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

If I might intervene here... Superfritiof851, to link a mention of say, Ezio Auditore to his article page when in editing mode, go up to the toolbars above the editing box. You should see boxes that are 'Bold 'B' and italic 'i, directly to the right is another button that looks like a chain. Highlight the text you want to link, in this case 'Ezio Auditore', click that button and a box will appear with the targeted article page and you can even edit how the linked text appears.

Afterwards, the bit o' text you linked should appear like this. If you did something wrong and the page it tries to access does not exist, it will appear as a red link.

Monobook
Hey Sima, I created that monobook theme. The code can be found at User:Godisme/monobook.css. I've tested it around the site and it works quite well aside from some minor text run overs on the mainpage due to the layout of this site being designed around the wikia skin and not monobook. I gave the wiki a large content area and used the color scheme and background of the wikia skin and went with a more rounded look for the overall feel. Let me know what you like and if you want anything changed. Also, once finished, if you could give us a testimonial, it would be much appreciated. Thanks --GodPray21:01, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks fluid! Large improvement. Thanks for the effort! And sure, I will give that testimonial when I have the time, if you could tell me where. -- Master Sima Yi 21:29, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just write it here if you could. I'm still organizing our testimonials page. Glad you like it. --GodPray21:44, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I wouldn't really know what to write in it. Could you direct me to other testimonials or the testimonials page once it's finished? -- Master Sima Yi 21:48, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, we just have one so far, here w:c:monobook:Monobook Wiki:Testimonials--GodPray22:02, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will look into that tomorrow, gotta go sleep now! Elchzard told me RansomTime is working on the looks now so I'll be looking forward to that as well. :) -- Master Sima Yi 22:15, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Faction Template
Just thought I'd let you know about something that needs changing that I don't think I can do myself. In the templates for factions, such as the Assassins or Mercenaries, one of the sections is "Leaders Title", but it should be "Leader's Title", since it's possession.

 * Done. -- Master Sima Yi 07:46, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Maria in Revelations
Hello, in Revelations (game), Maria Auditore is mentioned during the game but every time I enter it into the source, it gets edited back to normal. Why is that? (Msaka33 03:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)) 


 * What? -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Message from Neo
Hey MSY

It's pretty sad without Cello here (lets hope someone brings him back!) but I think you will be as great all the same! ;) Neo out!


 * It's not much different, if I may say so. He isn't gonna come back though, I still keep in contact with him. -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

User boxes?
Hey Sima

How do you get the userboxes that you have on your front page of your profile. Is it possible for someon like me to get them? If so please tell me in my talk page!

Neo Out


 * Take a look at Category:Userboxes. I think that's the one, but I can't check to be certain because the computer I am currently on is pretty shit. And please sign your posts with ~ . -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Master Sima now D Cello has left are now the mentore of the wiki2.216.25.41 22:48, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Just curious I'm really intrested in joining the wiki and i noticed at sign up it needs an email address. If I sign up will any notifications or anything be mentioned on social networking sites

News Post
Just a heads-up. Blaidd and Teller also wanted to do the newspost for two reasons. First, they thought you would be out for long and second, Vatsa failed to lock the comments for the departure blog, and people were already posting screenshots and speculation in it. Twelve asked for permission from those two and Blaidd and Teller agreed, since the departure blogpost was filling up with irrelevant stuff. ''EDIT: My bad, I failed to get that conversation about the lock. But the other points still stand. Sorry Vatsa. :)'' 01:53, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * We were under the impression that you would not be back until Monday, by which time it'd be a bit too late to post this news; we wanted it out there as fast as possible. I was unable to view the screenshots and Teller was busy with something, so that only left 12; no else was online. 12 also didn't do it by himself, as well as having discussed it among Teller and I, I helped him with how to lay it out, such as the Staff emblem, sources, and date. Also keeping it professional with few smileys, and all that jazz. So 12 didn't go ahead and just make it without consulting anyone. In the absence of you and Vatsa, we did what we could. -- 02:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Failure? We never agreed to lock that blog. Also, last I remember Staff were the one's allowed to make a news blog, not sure why 12 required permission to post a news blog.. --Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 03:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was only asking for an explanation, not making an accusation. And Vatsa: That wasn't my point. -- Master Sima Yi 17:51, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

IRC Ban?
Hey Sima!

I've been on the wiki for a while and I tried to get onto the IRC today but it says that I am banned... Please get back to me at the earliest convenience to explain if I did something or if it's just a mistake.

Thank you

 * You aren't in the banlist, it seems. Sorry for the late reply. -- Master Sima Yi 08:01, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
