[edit] Character sidebar templates
You've been on top of this, I believe. Are we going with {{Character}} as the standard "all-purpose" character sidebar now? (Like on James T. Kirk) Because if so, we should probably start getting rid of those individualized, series-specific ones on Templates. (Unless there was a discussion and it was decided to keep them.) – Sasoriza Adm • Tlk 23:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I've already deleted the TWOK and ENT templates and am working towards eliminating the others. However, the TNG and DS9 templates are being used on a huge number of articles, so it's gonna take a while. --Kevin W. Adm•Tlk 00:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template question
Kevin,
I am new here (and to wiki in general). My very first page is my RPG character's bio - Luka Fuar. I am trying to use the template for the general biodata, but how can I add lines such as "Place of Birth"? I tred to add them, but they don't show up.

- I'd have to add them to the template as a whole. The problem is that the Character template is used on hundreds of articles on this wiki. To implement such a change would take time. I will look into it, but it will take a lot of time. Your best bet would simply be to put the place of birth in the article itself.
- Also, don't forget to sign your comments by putting --~~~~ at the end of each one. --Kevin W. Adm•Tlk 20:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Enterprise-Z
Just what was the point of "restoring" Enterprise-Z? (even though it's made to appear as a "new" article) That was deleted by a majority vote, months ago (you also voted in favor of deletion). As it is now, it doesn't make much more sense to have it around than the old version. – Sasoriza Adm • Tlk 10:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- It's the same as having any of the others that use that template. If someone decides to use it for a useful purpose, unlike what it was deleted for, then they'll have access to it. --Kevin W. Adm•Tlk 13:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Succession Template
Hey Kevin, thanks for that Succession template. I thought I had seen something like it somewhere on here, spent the morning and afternoon trying to find it to no avail... so thank you for that! --usscantabrian 06:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I'm interested to know in how I create my own Sidebar? I'd like to create my own "Fleet" sidebar, but I have no idea where to start or which tutorial to turn to.
Kevin I would be grateful if you read my heavily revised Star Triangle Advanced Guard Page and removed the copyedit notice if you thought it was on par also if it is not could you note the sections that i need to work on in the talk page because I am eager to eliminate the blemish that the copyedit mark leaves on my page --Aranittara 13:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fan Fiction Question
Hello. I'm a new user here. I've been looking around the policies and such and I still have a question. How do I go about posting fan fiction? Basically, I guess my question is really about where I would post it and what I have to do to post it. Thanks a lot in advance. It's much appreciated. - Brandon Rhea 07:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, you wouldn't post the actual fiction, but information about it. --Kevin W. Adm•Tlk 07:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. - Brandon Rhea 17:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bureaucracy
Thanks, Kev; I appreciate that. You may want to vote here in that case. – Sasoriza Adm • Tlk 21:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kris Tringwell's copyright notice
After getting his permission, I recently added a load of images created by Kris Tringwell from his DY family(1) article on the Journal of Applied Technology (Used here). Today I updated them to use the {{Trigwell}} copyright template and noticed that the link in it goes to a page that doesn't exist. – Trek 18:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rem source?
Is there any chance of you sourcing your series in the near future (say before the end of August)? I'm starting to go through and get rid of non-sourced series and since Star Trek: Remington has the largest presence here removing it will take a lot of effort, effort I don't want to spend if you're going to source your work in the immediate future. We're not asking for every single story you've listed as part of the series, just one will do. – Jono Admin•Talk 13:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- I understand the pressures of uni, in my second semester back in 2002 the pressures of uni forced me to stop writing for about a year, so I am not unsympathetic to your situation.
- All I need is one story (see Star Trek: Pendragon and Star Trek: Daedalus where a teaser was enough) and that will be enough. Just upload the story to fanfiction.net of Hope Station repository for example and add the link to the series page. I don't care if the bulk of the articles connected to Rem aren't citable, I just need one example of your work outside of STEU for your series to be source (I think Sasoriza and I might have a different view on what is considered sourced, but my view is that to expect series like Pendragon and Remington to be fully citable given their presence on the site prior to the sourcing rules is not reasonable...I expect Sas now to counter with a comment, I'm not having a go at you, Sas, it is just the vibe I've got off you since I joined the site). It isn't fair that I ignore your work because you are an admin but come down hard on other users of this site in terms of sourcing, I have to appear to be fair in the way that I apply the rules.
- So my rant said, I won't start removing your work at least until the end of August. If you don't have at least one example of your work online for anybody to access through STEU then I'll start the long and arduous process of removing your work. To make that clear, the 27th of August is the due date. – Jono Admin•Talk 17:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Sourcing Remington
Yep, that's fine since it shows that Remington exists outside of STEU. Pretty sure at least one other fanfic is sourced and only has a teaser available at the moment. – Jono Admin•Talk 03:10, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fighter pilot ranks
Hi there, I asked Jrofeta this question about Starfight ranks, but he suggested that you could be the best person to ask. Anyway, I just wanted to ask if it was possible to advance in rank in the Starfleet Starfighter Corps would also advance in rank in the typical Starfleet rank structure. For instance, Jake Kurland advanced to the rank of colonel in the Starfighter Corps, but would he hold the equivalent rank of lieutenant in Starfleet instantly, or would he have to work his way up that command structure separately? --The Doctor 10:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Star Trel image ranks
Are you the creator of the ranks on http://stexpanded.wikia.com/wiki/Federation_Starfleet_ranks_%282373%29_%28duty_uniform%29 ? If I want to use you images do I have to get your permission first or can I just up load them like http://deepspace4.proboards92.com/ did for their board ? If you did not not create them but you know who did could you pass this message along to them so they can reply to me. Cheers.

[edit] Re: Singh and Shanoy family edits
Hi there,
I'd just like to say it would have been nice if you would have asked me or notified me before making changes to Shanoy family and Singh family. The reason the two articles were not intertwined was because a) they are separate sides to one family and b) the Singh family article will get a lot bigger as time goes by and more stories come on-line.
Overall, though, it would have been nice if you asked or notified me to make the changes you want, instead of rushing in and making them yourself. Besides, there are a lot of articles that still need to be created, or need massive rewrites, and these should have been a higher priority, in my opinion.
Thanks, –usscantabrian 20:27, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't make any edits to the articles themselves. I moved one article to bring it in line with title naming conventions and fixed the double redirects that were created. --Kevin W.•Talk to me 20:35, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
