::Hi. I don't know if you're the only sysop or whatever, but since you are one, I'd like to encourage you to take a more harsh stance on plagiarism. Paraphrasing as well as flat-out copy+paste is still not only inappropriate from a moral standpoint, it's actually illegal. Since Wikia's semi-recent license change to CC-BY-SA, using their content on any non-CC wiki is a violation of copyright. Thanks.

::On a semi-related standpoint that doesn't involve any criticism from me ( :] ), do you know of any other NIWA wikis that are engaging/condoning-- or worse, encouraging-- such behavior? [[Special:Contributions/96.255.126.216|96.255.126.216]] 23:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:::Dear 96.255.126.216, Thank you for contacting me on this. I do not believe any NIWA admin, or any of there wiki's anymore, is encouraging in such an act. However, like you said we do now have a harsher stance on plagiarism. I do not know of any current cases, but should they appear, we have {{LW:IWP}} to help up out. Thank you again, {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 02:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC).

:::Looks good. Out of curiousity, is there a trend in niwa not to use common.css, and instead do the style directly on template? I don't mean to insult, I am simply wondering. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 12:58, 4 August 2010 (PDT).

::::No nothing like that. The niwas aren't tied down by anything like that. I think it's just easier to find and change that way. And colors and styles tend to change a lot, so it's better kept on the template instead of having to go through the css for every change. Like, lets say one color needs change, it's much easier to go to the template and change it instead of common.css. And not many know how to change the css. Some things are better changed on the css though, like link colors. [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 13:48, 4 August 2010 (PDT)

:::::Ok, that makes sense. But if we continue with it in that way, we will need to make {{tl|Character-color}}, {{tl|game-color}}, etc. and have subtemplates for div & table headers, rows, cols, cells, footers, and whatever else will be needed..... sounds fun :D. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 13:28, 7 August 2010 (PDT).

Hey Guys! i've showed [[Wolf O'Donnell]] to our [[Lylat wiki:Skype|skype chat]] (which includes fearless leader, [[User:Neo|Neo]], and our skin designer, [[User:Steve|Steve]]) and they liked the color changes [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] suggested and what [[User:PureLocke|PureLocke]] and [[User:Moydow|Moydow]] gave feedback on. Woo! ''(brief pause to catch breath)''. Now, should we text replace the {{tl|characters}} with {{tl|Characters v2.0}}, or should i swap 1.0 for 2.0, and make {{tl|Characters v2.0}} a redirect or delete it...hm.... {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 19:40, 13 August 2010 (PDT).

: V-1 could serve a purpose as an Item template if it was kept around. Otherwise I think it is ready (I wouldn't know though). Attracting an artistic person (if Steve isn't) would be helpful so we don't just pick a bunch of our favorite colors, they could pick and match palettes for different sections of the wiki.

::Sounds good. But i am also looking for which what would be the specific text to use. Do i include "v2.0", and we continue using numeric templates from here on in, OR replace the main template with the content of the new one and only keep "v2.0" as a redirect and for it's edit history. Personally, i'm in favor of the former, but that's just me. {{User:Tacopill/sig}} 15:32, 16 August 2010 (PDT).

Hello, Tacopill. Agh, I'm sorry again. I've been really busy with some things... Uh, I was browsing through the recent changes, looking for inspiration. Do you know of any articles that I could assist you with? ([[User:Wolf O&#39;Donnell|Wolf O&#39;Donnell]] 12:41, 28 August 2011 (PDT))

Taco, I have the article written on my computer... I was wondering if I should make an article for ''Wing Repair'' and the ''Laser Upgrade''? I normally wouldn't ask, I'm just not sure what you would like. ([[User:Wolf O&#39;Donnell|Wolf O&#39;Donnell]] 11:56, 16 September 2011 (PDT))
