From what I understand, [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=The_Infosphere_(website)&diff=80419&oldid=79205 this] should only be done when you overhaul an article. It's kind of similar to "[[I:R#General editing rules|changing English variant for the sake of doing so]]", one thing you've been fighting for some time. I'm not telling you this because I want to undo the edit. Just to let you know. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 20:02, 2 March 2011 (CET)
:Not quite sure how creating a link could be considered changing the English variant. Thanks for the advice though. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 20:37, 2 March 2011 (CET)
::I said that it's ''kind of similar to'', not that it's considered changing the English variant.

Here are some tips to get you started:

English

Hey. I don't know if you've ever come across the Languages category, recently created, but it already includes 2 articles. (Awesome, right?) Alienese isn't really a language, so...

When you replaced the link to the unexisting English article (which should've been a link to the also unexisting English language article) with a link to Wikipedia awhile ago, you were doing a good thing, but I'm wondering if you don't mind that I put it back the way it was. Just in case another Infospherian decides to create it. Sanfazer 23:47, 13 February 2011 (CET)

Feel free Teyrn of Highever 23:53, 13 February 2011 (CET)
Done. Teyrn of Highever 23:57, 13 February 2011 (CET)
Thanks. "Why so serious", right? Sanfazer 00:01, 14 February 2011 (CET)

The Infosphere (website)

From what I understand, this should only be done when you overhaul an article. It's kind of similar to "changing English variant for the sake of doing so", one thing you've been fighting for some time. I'm not telling you this because I want to undo the edit. Just to let you know. Sanfazer 20:02, 2 March 2011 (CET)

Not quite sure how creating a link could be considered changing the English variant. Thanks for the advice though. Teyrn of Highever 20:37, 2 March 2011 (CET)
I said that it's kind of similar to, not that it's considered changing the English variant. Much like the English variant, the use of [[Brainspawn|Brainspawn's]] (Brainspawn's) over [[Brainspawn]]'s (Brainspawn's) is a matter of choice, so it's something which you shouldn't just alter. And you didn't create a link. You turned an existing link into a piped link. (When there was actually no need, though this is not a problem.) Sanfazer 00:06, 3 March 2011 (CET)

114 articles

Okay, then. I'm ready for the race. I tried to change it again, but wasn't successful. Can you say what's wrong from what Svip told you? Sanfazer 22:21, 9 March 2011 (CET)

Didn't say much. Just to be sure not to change the parameter. This is what was on Svip's user page
{{{first aired|{{{first air date}}}}}}
Not sure if that would solve your issue. If it doesn't, we could always ask. Teyrn of Highever 23:23, 9 March 2011 (CET)
Sorry. Been having a busy day. In response to your comment: No, I really can't. I'm not that experienced, at any rate. Our best decision would be to ask Svip to do it for us. Sanfazer 00:54, 11 March 2011 (CET)
I'll make the request. Teyrn of Highever 01:00, 11 March 2011 (CET)
Done, and it didn't require changing that many articles. I did a check over of season six and they all changed when the infobox did. I did have to change Reincarnation, for some reason. Teyrn of Highever 12:31, 11 March 2011 (CET)
Nice. I'm glad it all worked out. Sanfazer 00:58, 12 March 2011 (CET)

United Nations

Why did you do this? Such an unnecessary edit. UN is also accurate. In fact, I think it's more accurate than U.N.. Both Wikipedia and the United Nations' official site use it. Sanfazer 20:28, 17 March 2011 (CET)

It's kinda like the discussion that is going on at Wash Bucket's discussion page. I was just attempted create continuity with what the subtitles, and therefore the transcripts say, but if the actual website says so, I'll revert. The preceding unsigned comment was written by Teyrn of Highever.
Appreciate it. Sanfazer 23:18, 18 March 2011 (CET)

Template:Whatsnew

Your recent edits to the Whatsnew template (you know the ones I mean, but what the heck) struck me as a little hasty, because those transcripts weren't/aren't finished at the time you listed them. I know it was asking you to add items "regardless of whether their {{Working}} template has been removed", but that dates back to April 2007, and pages aren't "going un-posted" anymore, so I've changed it. And, besides, as the ten articles in this template are linked to from the Main Page, non-editors will be accessing them before they're complete, and thus get a bad impression of the wiki. Sanfazer 00:29, 22 March 2011 (CET)

Agreed. I reverted shortly after seeing your edit. Teyrn of Highever 00:31, 22 March 2011 (CET)
I thank you once again, your Grace. (If you feel this honourific doesn't apply to you, please note that I spent an awful lot of time to find it, and don't punish me.) Thanks. Sanfazer 22:07, 22 March 2011 (CET)

I know it was only two minutes, but next time reverse the order. Sanfazer 00:19, 27 March 2011 (CET)

Planets

If we're going to create the singular, might as well create the plural. The preceding sentence was written by Teyrn of Highever as an edit summary for the aforementioned page.

Not precisely. Regular plurals like planets are unneeded ([[planet]]s). Even using a plural that happens to be the name of, for example, a section you're creating a redirect for, like the one I created yesterday, is stupid. Just making sure you won't unknowingly waste your time! Sanfazer 21:44, 7 April 2011 (CEST)
