Hey
Austin here, didja wanna chat?

Yeah I did you can ask my question or chat to me on my talk page and I can do the same on mineCrashfreak99 09:28, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Let's see...if I remember, I had beaten CTTR already.

Hey, if you ever find any good screen captures of enemies or whatever, I can totally crop and fix them, like I did the frog, and the upcoming goat. Thanks!

editing
hi, I think you should know about last trivia fact on this page https://crashbandicoot.wikia.com/wiki/Diggin'_It

CNK 3D characters
pls, could you write what characters are playable in CNK 3D, if you know ?

thanks ;)

I heard that you need characters for CNK 3D, so I searched and found all characters for the game and I put all the characters in the page, so here you go.Just helping you out.spyro bandicoot 21:27, November 4, 2011 (UTC)spyro bandicoot

Hi
Thanks. Wow, the layouts changed alot while I was absent. Heard there was trouble with vandalism, how is it now? By the way, need any help? Cortex Castle 19:42, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry I'll try. I don't really fancy the new layout it makes my computer slower. Anyway let's talk Crash, so what do you like about it? Personaly I like the gameplay and characters (better than Mario). Also what do you think of the newer Crash? Cortex Castle 22:08, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think Coco Bandicoot should be Article of the Month as I added alot of neat stuff and more pictures check it out if you haven't seen it. Cortex Castle 09:48, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I prefer the older games but I don't have pure hatred for it. One question as a Tiny fan yourself I take it you don't like the newer one I don't, as well as Aku Aku (who looks like a orangutan) Uka Uka and Cortex (what happend to his huge head that was part of the humor in Twinsanity) What do you think of the gameplay? Cortex Castle 10:55, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, the gameplay in Mind over Mutant I didn't really like and backtracking to the other side of the island almost felt like a chore, but, I like that they brought TNT and digging back. I like Twinsanity aswell in my opinion it's the best Crash game that's non ND. What do you think of Wrath of Cortex I think it's great, it was one of the first games I got for Playstation 2 along with Ratchet and Clank and Wacky Races. Cortex Castle 22:00, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

I like it just the same as Warped, but, I admit the loading times were painfully long. My favorite boss fight was probably Crunch and Lo-Lo. Cortex Castle 15:45, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

I love CTR, to be honest I like it better than Mario Kart, I liked playing as Ripper Roo and Pinstripe. CNK was ok, but, I didn't like the team system and the karts felt slow at times. Have you ever played CTTR? I like that better than CNK, but, still not as good as CTR. Cortex Castle 14:00, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Favourite Twinsanity Level
My favourite levels in Crash Twinsanity are Boiler Room Doom, Slip Slide Icecapades and Twinsanity Island. Cortex Castle 16:30, 26, 2011 (UTC)

My favorite levels in Twinsanity are Slip Slide Icecapades, Rooftop Rampage, Class Room Chaos, Ant Agony and Rockslide Rumble.spyro bandicoot 21:32, November 4, 2011 (UTC)Spyro Bandicoot

Favourite Naughty Dog Crash
By the way what is your favourite Crash of the Naughty Dog era? Mine is Cortex Strikes Back because I love the improvement from the first and it's alot of fun especially the Polar levels. Cortex Castle 16:30, 26, 2011 (UTC)

My favorite Naughty Dog game Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped, because they have its the first appearance of Uka Uka, awsome levels, great bosses and its a time traveling game.spyro bandicoot 21:14, November 7, 2011 (UTC)spyro bandicoot

Favourite Crash Bosses Reply/Track Infobox
My favourite bosses are Ripper Roo, Tiny, Dingodile and of course Neo Cortex. Also, a little offtopic but is there a way to make a race track infobox? (you know like the level ones) Cortex Castle 20:25, January 29, (UTC)

mine are pinstripe and crunch ONLY AS BOSS IN THE WRATH OF CORTEX! the nasty mask (forget the name) ripper roo koala kong tiny tiger and finaly dr neo.cortex

My favorite bosses are Nina IN TITANS only, Uka Uka, Evil Twins,N.Gin and Dr. Cortex.spyro bandicoot 21:18, November 7, 2011 (UTC)spyro bandicoot

Success on infobox/Twinsanity 2
I have great news! I've just created a tracks infobox and I think I did well so have a look at Template:Track-infobox also where I first used it, Crash Cove and then we could start making them together! Ahem, anyway, I'd also like a Twinsanity 2 aswell espicially after I heard there were some things cut for time like Cortex in Coco's mind (I wonder what that would've been like), the actual Vice-Versa Reverser Device and evil Coco. Cortex Castle 20:05, January 30, (UTC)

Thanks alot. :D Sorry, but, I don't know how to nominate a featured article. I'd like that, do you mind if I do the same? bye. Cortex Castle 21:50, January 30, (UTC)

No problem. Apart from the game and world, there's not really much to say seeing as there's no gem cups or relics. Tell me if you know something I could add. Cortex Castle 18:05, January 31, (UTC)

Favourite Racetrack
My favourite's are Hot Air Skyway (I like the music), Polar Pass and Dingo Canyon. Do you think Dingodile is worthy of High Quality or at least Medium? By the way great work on Out of Time. Cortex Castle 22:45, Febuary 1, (UTC)

Thanks, whoever did it vandlised my page aswell. You know that wasn't me right?

Crash Mania Watermark
See when you upload pictures from Crash Mania, how do you hide the logo? Cortex Castle 12:30, Febury 4, (UTC)

Crash Bash is great, me and my best friend had loads of fun with it, my favourite levels are Space Bash, Snow Bash, Jungle Fox and Manic Panic. I also like how the computer screws up. However I think adventure is a pain to beat (i still haven't) what do you think? Cortex Castle 16:05, Febuary 13, (UTC)

Video Uploading
Hey, for some reason I am unable to open the video tab and can't add videos. Image, gallery and the others are fine is something wrong? Cortex Castle 20:10, Febuary 14, (UTC)

Hmm, strange and it's only the video tab, thanks anyway. That's great that your an admin now. Yes I would like to be one because I don't vandalise and have helped alot. Just so I know what's it like? Cortex Castle 12:00, Febuary 16, (UTC)

hello Crashfreak99, can you do a project please?!?!?

Thanks - * I LOVE RIPPER ROO * 00:53, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Never! You idiot!

Admin suggestion
Sure, I wouldn't mind at all! Actually even if I am a psyops I could still be able to help clean up the crud and actually try to return this wiki back to normal. -- The Magnum Master 06:45, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I would Love to become an Administrator! I can really improve the Bandipedia by a mile!Bandichild 18:10, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Wiki Alliance
Hi, I am an admin from Kid Icarus Wiki. I'd like to know if your wiki is interested in joining a video game wiki alliance. The alliance has the internet's top wikis on Trauma Center, Drawn to Life, Nintendogs, Custom Robo, and Kid Icarus. The main goal of the alliance is to improve each wiki by sharing traffic, sharing ideas, and promoting interlinking. This wiki wouldn't have to give up any rights or anything (you don't even have to link back if you don't want to, though we would appreciate it), all we ask is for someone from this wiki to check out the site every week or two and take part in wiki discussions. Anyway, that's all, just send me a message when you get a chance. Thank you. --Vhehs2 22:53, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't have to do anything really. We will put a link to your wiki from our alliance page and you're in. All we request is that you link to other member wikis if you have an article, and their wiki focuses on that topic. For example, if some character from Yoshi makes a cameo in Crash Bandicoot, we would like it for you to put a link to the Yoshi Wiki on your Yoshi article. --Vhehs2 17:20, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've just addefd your wiki onto our aliiance page. --Vhehs2 20:41, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I would love to become an Adminstrator! I left a comment down in the Admin Suggest topic just look for the signature that says Bandichild.Bandichild 18:12, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Sysop
Hello, while browsing around this wiki I've noticed that their are a huge amount of articles that should be deleted and redirected not to mention rollback all the spam. So, I'd like to know if you could give me sysop powers to help clean the wiki up. I understand that I'm new here but I could help alot with the added ability. In addition to that I have a good knowledge of wikia coding skills and how to use sysop powers. And since this wiki doesn't seem to have very many active admins I figuired I could help out. Could you promote me? :D -Komodo55 19:33, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Just one more question; who is site leader here? -Komodo55 14:51, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Technically, the original site leader of this wiki was Yowuza. But he has fallen off the face of the earth and delegated admin duties to Crashfreak. So I would say Crashfreak is the site leader now. -- The Magnum Master 22:42, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Admins
Are you and I the only active admins on the site? Or are their others? - Komodo 55  21:53, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am an admin here also, although I am not quite as active as active as I want to be due to a lot of college work. But I try to make sure though that no vandalizing or spam is going on. I am hoping to fix a couple of big articles up soon also. -- The Magnum Master 22:40, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

The Pictures

 * Yeah...How exactly do you upload images of the characters in the charcter info box? Because I see where the part it says images but i dont know how to actually put the image in there. Please reply as quick as you can.Bandichild 13:54, April 3, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

B-Crat
Hello Crashfreak99, I wanted to know if you could promote me to bureaucrat since it appears that you are the only active bureaucrat and normaly a wiki needs more than just one bureaucrat to function. - Komodo 55  21:51, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Background
Just to let you know I've changed the background of the wiki (the old one was kinda dull), just thought I'd let you know in case you're wondering why the background is different :D - Komodo 55  21:14, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Quality Scale
Do you think being site leader, that it might be a good idea to get rid of the whole quality scale thing? Because it's kinda difficult to rate articles from "high quality" to "low quality". I think it would be a overall better idea just to have a featured article instead and perhaps create a voting center where users can vote what the next featured article will be. What do you think? Because in my opinion it's stupid the whole quality thing. - Komodo 55  23:22, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Just to let you know Im gonna change my username to Rilla Roo. - Komodo 55  21:48, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Delete
The reason I deleted Category:Crash Bandicoot games is beacause there is already another category called Category:Games. And it's kinda stupid to name a category "crash bandicoot games" when all the games on the wiki are Crash Bandicoot. So simply "games" is better. As for Naughty Dog games it's simply a sub-category of games so I see no need for an entire category containg only for 4 pages to exist. Don't you? As for CTR that was a mistake. Please respond as soon as possible and tell me if you agree with me deleting the obve two categories as they are both dupe categories of games. (Note I've deleted them) - Komodo 55  19:10, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's a little too late now because I already removed "Category:Crash Bandicoot games" from all the pages. However I'll just keep adding "Games" and then re-name the category to "Crash Bandicoot Games". Ok? - Komodo 55  19:18, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll keep the Naught Dog Games and sure I'll help out with the image categorizing. - Komodo 55  19:26, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

My favorite Titan? Hmm...probably Spike. Whats your favorite non-Naughty Dog game?- Komodo 55  19:33, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I definatly love Crash Twinsanity too. - Komodo 55  19:38, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

No, I've beat the game 99%, I can't get that last gem in Rockslide Rumble in the tunnel filled with TNT. It's so hard!!! - Komodo 55  19:42, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Whats your least favorite Crash game? - Komodo 55  19:51, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a Playstation Network (PSN) account? If so I'll add you as a friend. - Komodo 55  20:47, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Naughty Dog wikis
Hey Crashfreak. I'm from over at the Uncharted wiki. I thought it might be an idea to have a banner (nothing too obtrusive) at the bottom of each of the three Naughty Dog wiki homepages linking to the others. Basically, it would be a box across the content area with the Naughty Dog logo at the left, and the three wiki logos to the right. I'd be happy to do all the design work, but of course, I'd need the consent of you and your wiki community.

You can see a very basic mockup of what I mean here Obviously, I'd put some work into the individual logos (I just used the old Wiki.png files for the mockup), and customise it a lot more to fit the style of the wiki (ie. a grey style for your homepage). Each image would obviously link to the homepage of that wiki.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and remember, the design shown is only a very basic mockup. The real thing will look much better (hopefully!). Thanks for reading. --Klock101 01:01, April 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Hey. I'm messing around with some ideas, and the general plan is to have a logo for each of the three sites in the banner. Seeing as Bandipedia doesn't have a logo, I designed this It's fairly basic, but I feel it's best if there are no characters in any of the 3 logos. It will be tidier that way. Also, I used the Crash 1 logo, as the banner is for Naughty Dog wikis, I think we should stick to Crash 1, 2, 3 and CTR. It's an early prototype image, so let me know what you think of it and what I could add to it. --Klock101 01:26, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Hey. I've changed the logo around a bit and changed the picture of Aku Aku. You can see it here I still have the other one if you prefer it (I changed Aku Aku in it too). Let me know what you think. --Klock101 15:15, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: I hope you don't mind, but I've put the template on the homepage seeing as it's already up on the Jak and Daxter wiki and the Uncharted wiki. Let me know what you think, and if you want, I can edit any bits you want changed, ie. logos or colour schemes. --Klock101 16:57, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey the New Logo on the Homepage looks great! I remember mentioning it in CrashFreak99's talk page. But anyway, could you replace the Bandipedia letters with the new logo? It would look alot better too.
 * Yeah I've heard about the forum so how do I join the forum?

PSN
Hey, do you have a Playstation Network (PSN) account? If so could you tell me your username? - Komodo 55  19:46, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Crashfreak, I can't seem to be able to get the image into the infobox on the Elementals page no matter how hard I try. Can you see if you can do it? - Komodo 55  20:05, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Naughty Dog footer
Hey. I put the footer on the homepage 2 days ago, and left you a message here asking what you thought of it. Maybe you didn't see the message? Anyway, the footer was removed earlier by a different admin. Can you take a look at it and tell me what you think of it and tell the other admins what it is. Thanks.--Klock101 22:24, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

The people on The Bionicle Wiki are not against me. It's just one individual user named Starcsream7. Anyway I agree with you that the orange background is better. :D - Komodo 55  19:12, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't have an account on Crash Mania (yet). Do you have one? - Komodo 55  19:56, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna make an account right now, and I'll add you as a friend on the forums.- Komodo 55  20:01, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I've just created the account under the name Komodo55, however I havn't gotten the confirmation e-mail yet. I'll tell you when I get it :D - Komodo 55  20:14, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

My account still has not been approved by an administrator, I'll tell you when it gets approved. - Komodo 55  19:42, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I was considering creating a seperate forum possibly dedicated to Wikia's video games wikis like Bandipedia, Uncharted Wiki, Spyro Wiki etc. In a way Crash Mania is kinda like a rival to us since they have their "Crash-o-pedia" section. Many wikis also have forums so I was considering starting one for us on Bandipedia and are friends like the Spyro Wiki and Uncharted Wiki. What do you think? - Komodo 55  20:29, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna talk to the admins on the Spyro Wiki and see if they would be interested in joining, can you talk to the admins on the Uncharted Wiki? - Komodo 55  20:33, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Accualy I've had a slight change of mind, how about the forums are for Naughty Dog games only? In that case I'll ask the admins on the Jak & Daxter Wiki and you can ask the admins on the Uncharted Wiki. - Komodo 55  20:43, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

The head admin is this user I believe. - Komodo 55  20:53, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Forum
Sure. I'd love to. I'm not sure how to go about setting up one from scratch, though. And Wikia's forum system isn't the most user friendly thing out there. Keep me posted with any developments. I'm sure you'll need the green light from the guys at Jak and Daxter wiki as well. --Klock101 22:05, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

The guys at Jak & Daxter already have their own forum so I don't think it's gonna work out the whole forum idea. Perhaps it would be best just to create a forum for Bandipedia only? - Komodo 55  14:29, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I just founf out that it costs 38$ a month to keep the forum working and I don't think it's worth it, so maybee we should just drop the whole idea. - Komodo 55  14:47, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Wait! I found out that their's another forum-maker that's free! I'm gonna start making it now! - Komodo 55  14:49, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've managed to create the forums [https://z15.invisionfree.com/Wumpa_Forums/index.php? here]. However I have no idea how to change to background, upload a logo, create topics, nothing. So Im gonna have to contact the customer service. - Komodo 55  15:12, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

The forums are incredibly difficult to manage and the skin is set in default unless I pay a standard fee of 9$ to change it to a custom made one. In addition to that the formate and posting system is horrible so I'm gonna be shutting the forums down. I'll continue to search the web for a better forum-creater but in the mean time Bandipedia will have to live without a forum. Sorry. - Komodo 55  22:48, April 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you are looking for a good and free forum creator site, try Invision Free. It is one of the more popular free forum sites and its easy to set the forum up how you like it. I have used it in the past, and its really good. -- The Magnum Master 00:10, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Facebook
I was wondering, do you have a Facebook account? Because I was considering creating a page about Bandipedia on Facebook as it might attract more users. - Komodo 55  19:36, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

New forum
Okay, I already formatted the new forum for the wiki. Right now its not 100% complete, but I plan on adding the other forums for the other Crash games and plan to add a banner to the site also. You guys can register there and I will make you guys admins and everything.

Sig
Do you want me to show you how to make a coloured signature? - Komodo 55  22:12, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

First of all, do you know what "source mode" is? - Komodo 55  13:17, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, do you want your signature to look like this; Crashfreak  99 ''? If you don't like the colors just tell me? - Komodo 55  18:08, April 30, 2011 (UTC)''

Ok, now press edit on your talk page, now in the corner of the screen on the top right or left you'll see a box that says "source". Do you see it? - Komodo 55  18:11, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Now, press the "source button" and the whole screen will be filled with coding. Browse up to where I showed you the signature and you'll see that it's composed of full of coding instead of being blue. Do you follow me so far? - Komodo 55  18:17, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, next go in source mode and copy and paste the signature that I made for you (make sure it's composed of coding and not blue). Next, go into your "preferences" and scroll down to the bottom, their you will see an empty box that says signature. Paste the coding and check the small box beneath it and press save at the bottom. If it didn't work tell me. - Komodo 55  13:00, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

To be honest I don't think he is ready. He only has 300 edits and at times doesn't display admin qualities at all. So it would be better if (for now) he remained a rollbacker instead of an admin. And keep in mind that this wiki already has 3 active admins so I see no need for a fourth. If you have any objections to this please tell me. - Komodo 55  13:16, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, being an admin has to do with more than just one's edit count. Anyway, I think the requiremnt should be more like 700 like on the Jak & Daxter Wiki. Anyway, the only reason I question Bandichild's abilties as an admin is that he once called a vandal a "douchebag" and admins aren't supposed to swear or call users names like that. In addition to that he protected over 10 pages for no obvious reason. Anyway if you really don't agree with me on this, then we could alwas call a meeting on the forums with the other admins. What do you think? - Komodo 55  17:59, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, and did the sig work? - Komodo 55  21:10, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Their appears to be a slight error with the coding in the signature. In the first part where it says "Crashfreak" it links to a user called "Crashfreak" not Crashfreak99. If you don't understand what I'm saying just sign your name and click on the first part. Do you know how to fix it? - Komodo 55  20:44, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Warning
Yeah, right. But, if he deleted the page, he must delete the redirects. That's what I believe.-- 19:53, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, accualy I've realized the same thing. I'm not quite sure why, It could be an error or that the Wikia Staff was testing something. I'll give it to the end of the week or else I'll contact Wikia. :D - Komodo 55  20:22, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

I was considering blocking Klock101. I protected the main page so that only admins can edit It because that is how it works on 99% of wikis (Spyro Wiki, Jak & Daxter Wiki) ect.) but he won't start arguing and it's becoming quiet tiresome. What do you think? - Komodo 55  13:25, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Could you block him for about 2 weeks? In that period he should chill out and think about what he did was wrong. I'd like if you blocked him because if I do it he'll yell at me on other wikis for a while to come. Thanks. - Komodo 55  16:40, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Cortex Castle
Do you think Cortex Castle would be interested in joining the forums? Oh, and why isn't your sig working? - Komodo 55  17:49, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Watermark
Hello, I was considering making a rule that bannes members from using watermarked images on Crash Mania. Crash Mania doesn't seem to like other sites using their images (look at #5) and it looks kinda cheep when a user comes here to see images with the CM logo in the background. I think that starting now, we should try to avoid using CM watermarked images and try to replace any images if we can. What do you think? - Komodo 55  13:29, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Curious question
Why are the follow accounts Bandi444, Steve444. Dingo226, and Crash5556 admin accounts? Neither of those accounts have made a single edit and were just registered two days. We don't need anymore admin accounts on this forum, and we are already having administrative problems at is with the current ones. Unless I am missing something, I am curious about the new addition of these admin accounts. -- The Magnum Master 05:16, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Komodo55's adminstrative status
It seems that Komodo55 lost his right to be a part of the wikia administrative staff and was globally block for unknown reasons. I think that its time to remove his name from the administrator template. I don't mind doing this, but I wanted to get your approval. -- The Magnum Master 02:16, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Affiliate with VG Wiki
Crashfreak99,

I was wondering if Bandipedia would like to become an affiliate of VG Wiki which is a resource for all video game-related information. Please reply to this message on my talk page, either on this wiki or VG Wiki. I'll be awaiting your response.

--iSodium, VG Wiki Creator (Talk) 01:23, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

It's basically the same as being a friend, so we both put links to the other's wiki on our homepage. iSodium, VG Wiki Creator (Talk) 11:02, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery

 * Would it be nice to just go ahead and add gallery's to the articles up here? Like some character's need a Gallery like Crash Bandicoot for example, he has tons of photo's so im just wondering...Bandichild 16:55, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild
 * Then I will start to add them right away. And yeah my Userpage is cool.Bandichild 23:03, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild


 * I agree, a gallery in some of these articles will help some of them out, especially with ones that contain images all over the page. I will help fix these pages up also. -- The Magnum Master 05:15, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Reason I Am Inactive
I'm awfully sorry I have not been as active much, but, here's why - My laptops internet has not been working, I'm using someone elses computer the now and an odd time. I have a PS3 though so I can keep up with what's going on. However after my holiday I'm gonna try and take it to PC World to fix it. Please keep me as an admin. Thanks and bye the now.Cortex Castle 50:30, 29 May, 2011 (UTC)

More Templates

 * The Bandipedia may need a Spoiler Template in case of beginning Crash players stumble upon something they may not wanna see.Bandichild 14:50, May 31, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild


 * You mean something like this?

--Klock101 17:51, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes! Something just like that! How do you use this template?


 * I use GIMP to edit images. If get images online then I use GIMP to remove the background and make it transparent. Wikia supports transparency, so all transparent image backgrounds will be transparent. --Klock101 19:37, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Forum
I'm following the link on the right hand side of the "Recent Wiki Activity" page to the forums (|forums it links here), but I'm only seeing one forum section (for "Crash Boom Bang"), and I remember there used to be more sections. Did you move forums? --Klock101 14:53, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like Komodo hacked the forum and deleted a lot of the boards. I am going back right now to rebuild all the old forums he deleted, but it looks like I am unable to restore the old posts. That's okay though, there was not much posts before he went on his little rage-deleting streak. I will try to get it back to its former self with even more features. -- The Magnum Master 15:47, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

impersonating Wikia Staff
DaJulian is not Wikia Staff. If you are contacted again by someone claiming to be Wikia Staff and you suspect that they are not, please report it to us. --Dopp (help forum | blog) 16:56, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

DaJulain
Hey. I've been around Wikia quite a bit, and you get to know the habits and posting etiquette of their staff after a while. Which is why I was suspicious of "DaJulian". After I became suspicious, I had a look into it and checked the Special:ListUsers page. It lists all Wikia staff, and he's not on it. I reported him to Wikia, and they have confirmed that he is not staff, and he has been banned. Also, I recommend that you be wary of messages from an account called "DaNASCATT." It was created at the same time as "DaJulian," and is suspiciously similar to a Wikia staff members account name, "DaNASCAT." I suspect someone may try to impersonate him as well. --Klock101 16:58, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, good job on catching the impersonation. I should've known better than to believe a wikia staff would discuss such a personal issue on this wiki. I can't believe I fell for the bait. My guess that it was Komodo or one of his friends doing the impersonating. Now I am not going to trust anything that is associated with him now. -- The Magnum Master 18:14, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

User ban
I'm not sure if you've seen this user's vandalism, but he keeps re-posting it after I delete it. Can you block him? --Klock101 22:20, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and blocked this user named WilliamTakadox or something like that. He or She had messed up a lot of information with the articles, if you check out the Crystal and Evil Coco (before anyone changes it) you will see. I already had to change Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and Crash Team Racing from Prick and Pingas.Bandichild 15:17, June 19, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Request for adminship
Hello Crashfreak. I know that Komodo introduced a "minimum of 700 edits" rule before you can become an admin, but I don't know if that's still in place now that he's gone. Either way, I'd like to apply for adminship. I don't want to start drastically changing the wiki, but there are a few things I'd like to sort out.

For example, things like this. Unregistered contributors making articles about fake levels. Or this, pages being made about fan mods that have no bearing over the series as a whole. Right now, all I can do is flag these pages for deletion, but even then the odds of an admin seeing the flagging are slim. Several templates here could do with some updating as well, but they are currently sysop protected.

If you want to see what I've done at Wikia, head over to the Uncharted Wiki, which I adopted last year. Back then it was a relatively empty wiki with approximately 100 pages. Now we have 769 articles, 4 admins and over 25,000 monthly visitors.

In terms of plans here, I've basically said above what I'd like to do. Delete pages that don't belong, point users in the right direction if they are adding false information or aren't taking the site seriously, and update some old templates to make them easier to use or more aesthetically pleasing. In the longer term, I had planned to improve navigation here by adding some navigational portals, given the approval of you and the other admins. Obviously, designing this will take quite some time, but you can see the early stages here.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading! --Klock101 01:58, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I would love to be an Admin! Just let me know when you do it!Bandichild 16:26, June 17, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Hey!
Hello! Uh, can you do me a favor and un-block me? Komodo55 blocked me for no reason before you blocked him. Thank You!

Images
Hello. Bandicootlover59 speaking. I hear that your the one who takes care of all the images on Bandipedia am I right? Well Iv been thinking that you should put a gallery on every page and put alot of pics on it. Iv already started on pages "Crash Bandicoot (game), Crash Bandicoot 2< and Crash Bandicoot 3". If you think its a good idea and you wanna help, feelfree to contact me. Thanks.

Request for adminship
Hello Crashfreak. I appreciate that you like my idea. But there are some pages I just can't get into. So I would like to be promoted to a bureaucrat or admin of any kind.--Bandicootlover59

A Troll on the loose
A user named WilliamTakadox is vandalizing pages and removing content to inappropriate page titles. He did the same to the Spyro wiki, and must be blocked from this wiki too. -- Aura24 21:24, June 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I already took care of that problem he should be blocked for a year.Bandichild 22:11, June 19, 2011 (UTC)Bandichld

Crash Twinsanity
Where's the Crash Twinsanity page I worked really hard on the story, was it vandalized? --Cortex Castle 11:20, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I think Im done. You can lock it again if you want. Bandicootlover

New wordmark
I gave the site a new wordmark (the logo at the top left). I hope you like it. --Klock101 22:34, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Coming Soon: Coming in 2012 special edition of Crash Team Racing.

Do you? -- - unsigned comment from 121.218.8.127  (talk | contributions), added at  (UTC)


 * I am guessing that you are Brodie Buchanan since you seem to be the only one that is convinced that a special edition of Crash Team Racing will be released next year. It would be nice for you to speak in a manner that we can understand what you are saying instead of constantly posting gibberish. -- The Magnum Master 17:46, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Contact info if possible?
Hello Crashfreak99. You have a great forum going here and I thank you so much for running it, it's helping me do my research on Crash. I have some things I would like to discuss with you if you don't mind? I hope you can find the time to contact me at thesicknessunleashed@yahoo.com or on my skype (ID: TheSicknessUnleashed). I look forward to further communications with you. 99.241.86.189 23:25, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Bring Back Bandicoot

 * Hey CrashFreak99! You might wanna take a look at this: Bring Back Bandicoot It's an online petition much like the last one, but with a less amount of signatures. Please if you can advise the members of the Bandipedia to sign and support the petition.Bandichild 03:24, July 27, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild
 * Oh damn! Why must I be late to everything? Well did you alteast get some of out Bandipedia user's to sign it? Because this is the Crash Bandicoot Wiki afterall.Bandichild 13:19, July 27, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

Short Visit
Hi, Crashfreak99, I'm Grim, from the Prince of Persia Wiki. I understand that you are the leader of this Wiki, right? Well, I have noticed that you do not have any images for the Hero's/Leader Mutant's that are in "Crash: Mind Over Mutant", and if you would like, I could get an image for each of these for you as I own the game (But I have the PSP version so the images might be small). I will add the images to my Sandbox and you can decide if you want to use them or not. But if you don't want them at all, I will not. Anyway, hope to hear from you soon, Thanks. Grim_Leaper19 Leaper 03:07, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

P.S Nice Wiki! Crash Rocks! :P

Re:Admin Chat
I think we should pick a date and time and let the other admins know. Then we can all discuss it together. --Klock101 16:58, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am down for a chat. There are indeed a few things we need to talk about. -- The Magnum Master 05:45, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hero Images on hold
Hi, again. Just letting you know whats happening with these Hero mutant images. My appologies. The laptop that contained the images I took of the mutants had to be sent away to be re-imaged, and I did not think that it would take as long as it has to be brought back. I just want you to know that I haven't forgotten and the images are STILL coming.I am expecting my laptop back in the next week, but there are no promises. Sorry for the delay, I hope to post them soon. Grim_Leaper19 12:26, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oh Leiaaa!!!! Where are you.!
oh ok, if i get moar then 200 edits am i able to become admin???

Attention
Hi there Craskfreak99, I'm here to tell you about the merge happening between VG Wiki and Video Game Wiki. The reasoning behind this is due to the fact that both wikis are quite similar and have the same scope. If you would liek to stay affiliated with these two, soon to be one, wikis, please notify me on my talk page at Video Game Wiki. If you would like to discuss this with iSodium, please do so on his talk page at Video Game Wiki. Thank you for your time. –  Jä zz  i  22:23, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hey spyro bandicoot here, I heard that you guys need help with the level pages a few weeks ago, so I started helping like, checking misspelling, decapitalization and other bad grammar. I really thought that you might need this help, so if you do, you can tell me in my talk page and if you might need help with stuff. If you do remember to tell me that at my talk page and stuff. Also keep track of my blog, for I got some new stuff to tell you guys about, okay chat with you later bye.

Vandal on the loose?
I noticed a vandal called CodyRhodes2 which continuously creates inappropriate new articles and blanks existing ones.

Can you do something about it?

If this is the wrong place to put it then I'm sorry but I don't know where to put it so I decided to mention this to you. EpicWikipedian 22:18, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

There's a word spelled wrong on the front page.
It's spelled their,instead of there,in the "did you know?' part of the page(Hangingmanpeter0 06:34, November 7, 2011 (UTC))

Affiliation
Hello, I would like to alert you that Video Game Resource and Video Game Wiki are almost done merging. Since you wish to stay affiliated, we will add you to our affiliation section on our main page and it would be lovely if you'd do the same. Please message me on my talk page there with your response. –  Jä zz  i  18:40, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Spamming Report
This anon has been spamming Coco's page all the time! He has always added fake trivia that Coco's boyfriend is Buddy Lattea. I've always undone his edits, but please take an action. This one is his latest spam, written under trivia:

"Coco has a boyfriend named Buddy Lattea and she goes to D.C.H.S. and she plays basketball for the girl's basketball team. She is nineteen years old. She goes whereever Buddy goes. She hangs out with him everyday. she is 5'5' and weighs 156 pounds. She has blond hair and green eyes. She's from Knoxville,Tennesse. She loves Buddy very much and Buddy loves her the same. She's a Christain. She has very few friends at school. She likes everything Buddy likes. She's in 12th grade."

 * Crashfreak, you know the main page and the little sections that tells the character, items, Admins and stuff? Well how about we put a games section in the main page because most video game wikis have that and people who come to the wiki to see the games can, if we have that it can bring a little improvement to the wiki. Well I want to hear it from you about this and see it can bring a little improvement to the wiki.Its your dicstion.spyro bandicoot 04:22, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Inactivity from Cortex Castle
I noticed that Cortex Castle has been inactive for quite a while on Bandipedia (more than 3 months) and if we list him as "active" on the administrators page and someone wants a specific question to be answered by him it would be a bit misleading as he would be unable to answer the question. Shall we change his listing on the administrators page to "inactive"? (I would happily do this but I wanted to ask you if I should do it first) EpicWikipedian 13:21, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I'm an italian fan of Crash Bandicoot. I'd like to subscribe here because of my passion and my good english, after all. So, if you need help on some pages, now you know that your wiki has another user! Hello again! GabriBanjo 12:44, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppetry
Recently, I noticed that two IP addresses, 92.29.135.150 and 92.29.141.56, have been disrupting Bandipedia, adding unsourced nonsense, removing perfectly fine content, and adding childish commentary to each article they edit. I'm a bit curious here, as those IP address numbers are almost identical to each other, and they are adding almost identical content. Also, from what I can see, they both come from United Kingdom and they both use TalkTalk.

Well, I've already blocked them, but I'm questioning whether I should block access from both of them permanently, because that looks like the person just resetted their IP address to continue adding their rubbish.

Here is his latest vandalism, which is adding childish commentry: Click here to see the edit.

Couple of comments
I know I have not been active lately due to school, but now that I am out of school I can finally become more active. I still manage to check the wiki everyday though, and I have noticed some problems:


 * Constant layout changes - It seems like everytime I login, the wiki has a new design or color scheme? I think it would be a good idea if we can keep a consistent layout or color scheme instead of changing it every other day. All of these constant changes will deter potential editors from this wiki rather than attract new ones.


 * More emphasis on Crash Bandicoot content and less emphasis on aesthetic content - If you look at the main page, it seems like there is very little with the Crash Bandicoot series and more with the administrative staff! Its not like people come to this wiki to worry about who the administrators on this wiki are. If you go to other wikis like Mario, Zelda, Resident Evil, etc., the main page is filled with content pertaining to their respective series.

I think we should work together as admins the next few month fixing up these problems instead of constantly worrying about the aesthetic looks for this wiki. This wiki is already progressing good, but its not enough when we are all doing our own things. -- The Magnum Master 22:25, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Crossed out second comment as it was incorrect. As for the first comment, yes it does change on a constant basis, but I don't think it's major changes every single day. If you go on it several times a day like I do, it will probably seem alot more gradual and it's transitions will probably be more welcoming. But I don't think that it will deter potential editors. In fact, I think that it will encourage them, as it gives them something new on a near daily basis. EpicWikipedian 22:36, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fine. I'll put it back. But I still think it's incorrect, because all it is takes up a tiny section on the navigation section. EpicWikipedian 22:58, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure why my second comment was scratched out on account that it was relevant to this conversation. But Crashfreak will still be able to read so no big deal. I am not trying to say change is a bad thing, but we have went through 3 logo changes in about a 2-3 week time span. Other wikis aren't constantly changing their main page and layout to attract new editors. If anything, the new changes will confuse them rather than reel in new ones. But this isn't a big deal though, this is something we can work out together and something I wanted to bring to attention. For now, I wanted to focus on improving the level articles first. -- The Magnum Master 22:49, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also Crashfreak, it wouldn't be a bad idea to archive your talk page on account that it is getting too long. Just a suggestion. -- The Magnum Master 22:49, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Report
This anonymous user has removed a number of articles, but I have undid some of his actions. Please block him to stop his further actions.  Nikel  Talk  03:20, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I want to ask something. Are administrators the only ones to have the rollback rights? Can't we have rollback rights even if we're not administrator?  Nikel  Talk  03:23, December 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I dealt with the person in question, thanks for giving one of us a heads up. As for roll back rights, I am pretty sure that we have a group here that allows users to rollback without administrative powers. I will let Crashfreak answer that for you. -- The Magnum Master 05:50, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh well, if I'm not yet able to be given rollback rights, that's okay. But I'll try to help this wiki more often if I can. Thank you!  Nikel  Talk  12:13, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

A little problem
I just want to bring to your attention that I believe this user was wrongfully banned by another one of our administrators on this wiki. I see nothing wrong with his avatar and don't see how its offensive in anyway. I was going to reverse the block myself, but I rather you make a decision since your the lead administrator here after all. I know you are not the type of person to say something, but I want you to make the final call on this issue. -- The Magnum Master 17:01, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hi
I am a new user on the wiki. I have a question: Is Bandipedia Scoop just for Artwork? Because I have a fanon for a Crash game and I do not have any artwork for it. Googlydoe 05:01, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Request for bureaucratship from EpicWikipedian
Hello there, it's me, EpicWikipedian. I was just wondering if you could promote me to bureaucrat as there is some requests from other users on the adminship request page that have been ignored and I seem to be the only person who constantly watches over that page. Also, I have thousands of edits, and I have the second most edits to this wiki by any person. I know about the accident which happened back in May 2011, but I have been a really great user throughout the community and it's a good idea to keep a backup just in case you become inactive.

So, can you make me a bureaucrat? :) Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 17:59, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, do you like my image i made for the bandipedia scoop?Gamermead 19:48, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

You may have to start paying more attention to Bandipedia soon
Sorry, Crashfreak99, but it has recently came to my attention that, due to personal life issues, on 25 January 2012 and after that date I will only be on Bandipedia for a few hours a day. It's been a great time here, but there is now something new in my schedule which I will have to attend on weekdays on and after 25 January 2012 that opens early, closes late and has relatively long travel times in between. I probably won't even be able to watch Bandipedia in the mornings.

It's fine for now, though, continue focusing on that Twinsanity Tips & Tricks thing if you want, but after the morning of that day arrives my activity will be significantly reduced and you may need to start looking on Bandipedia a little more often as the ged out.

vandal pages might not be deleted as fast. However, despite this, I do wish to keep my adminship and bureaucratship powers, please, as this does not necessarily mean that the quality of my edits will reduce.

If you wish to find more information about this, click here. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 12:12, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

So, you do like my wiki?Gamermead 19:15, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hackers
Oh no. That must be bad. But someone on this wiki is creating multiple sockpuppets, both unregistered and registered, and each registered user has their account ending in "Jorgensen". This person is really heavily attacking Bandipedia, no really, because if you check the block log, many administrators have had to block them. The Magnum Master blocked the first account, then the user began to create a few sockpuppets of which I dealt with them. So you may have to look a little closer on the recent changes to make sure this user cannot cause further damage to Bandipedia. EpicWikipedian 16:32, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, one of the "Jorgensen" clones blanked a page and said something nasty about Bandipedia. I don't think it's a very good idea to have chat on a medium-sized or large wiki either, because that is a mixture between malicious people on chat and people there to block them, and not many people go on chat through Bandipedia. EpicWikipedian 17:11, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, that is just a plan of mine, hence I have only put up a notice that it may end soon depending on whether we really need it. But nobody seems to go on chat. EpicWikipedian 17:16, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Can you put more than one Artwork picture on Bandipedia Scoop? Googlydoe 15:40, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I've replied to that question, there's no need for anyone else to answer it. EpicWikipedian 15:44, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Lol
I waited a little to tell you this, but after looking closely at that edit you made to Atmospheric Pressure, I realised how funny it was. What made me laugh was that the eyeballs part you removed ended with an exclamation mark. What was even more funny was that part where it said "Not very damaging but since there is loads it will add up!". That would have been perfect for a Crash Bandicoot humour wiki, but unfortunately Bandipedia is not that. Yeah, I know, I think of many funny things, but particularly this one.

Hey, i saw an advertisment on the bottom of my wiki about "sprucing up my wiki" so i clicked on it and one of the advices were, it needs at least 1 admin on the wiki. do you want to be one for my wiki?Gamermead 16:02, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox
There is in fact a way to change it's size, but it's too complex to tell you. Do you need it smaller or larger? EpicWikipedian 17:01, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. You did not need to do the whole "[[File:Toxic waste.PNG]]"; you only needed to do "Toxic waste.PNG". EpicWikipedian 17:07, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Warning templates
By the way, there is now a blocking policy and a series of warning and block templates which I made with a fellow admin. Here they are in action, with the reason for each of them being set to "blanking pages":

 Craaaaash! Unfortunately, you have been blocked from editing.

In most cases, you were blocked because you did not follow our policy. If you are still able to edit your talk page, and you understand why you were blocked, please leave a note on there explaining that you are ready to be unblocked.

Reason:

Thanks for listening. EpicWikipedian 17:13, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

I know why you're delaying Twinsanity Tips & Tricks!
I noticed that your edit count is increasing rapidly. Are you trying to overtake me in the number of edits? Well, you can't, because I've got over 100 edits more than you! Prepare to take that big grin off that avatar of your's, because I'm the one who has the most amount of edits on Bandipedia now! You're not Crash's #1 fan anymore, now you're Crash's #2 fan! EpicWikipedian 15:51, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Just a reminder of what's happening
Don't worry, the previous post on what I said about having more edits than you is only going to apply for a few days; soon, I'm going to become very inactive and I'm sure that you'll have the most edits again probably. I'm also going to change my status on the administrators page to "semi-active" soon; I will be a bit active, but only a little. By the way, I've done some work to the topbar over at Bandipedia Highlights. EpicWikipedian 17:47, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I smell a reference to the independent MarioWiki in your latest "Projects" idea. EpicWikipedian 18:16, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Administrative noticeboard
There is now an administrative noticeboard. If you look in the admins template, where it is nicknamed "Team Bandipedia", you'll now see that there is a link to it above the "bureaucrats" area. What do you think? EpicWikipedian 16:14, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Guess what I just found
There's a user on YouTube called "CrashFreak"! EpicWikipedian 14:37, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Goodbye
Well, this is the last day where I will be particularly active on Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights. It's been a nice few months here, but now my personal life has took over my fun. I will only be able to do very little on weekdays. Expect me to become active again in mid-February 2012, but after that I will become inactive again, and then for even longer. Just so you know I've changed my status on the administrators page to "semi-active". Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 13:50, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Citadel City

Hey
What happened to the navigation? I put colour decoration on it and now it all looks light blue and black. Anyways, as I said, I will still be on Bandipedia, but not nearly so much. EpicWikipedian 17:10, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

CodyRhodes2 is a sockpuppet of Brodie Buchanan
I still haven't figured out the Komodo55/Jorgensens/Crashfreak66 situation. But in my investigation, I have found out that CodyRhodes2, the user that caused problems a few months ago, and the IP sockpuppets he used once he was banned from Bandipedia, is a sockpuppet of Brodie Buchanan.

In this edit to Crash Team Racing, CodyRhodes2 removed all of the content and replaced it with this (without the excessive caps):

"Let's go Brodie Buchanan"

So yeah, Brodie Buchanan has eventually got tired of his fanon being removed and began to blank pages and replace it with something horrible under a different account. My advice to you is to keep an eye on Wiki Activity near the beginning of each month in the afternoons and evenings, as that is when the "CodyRhodes2" IP sockpuppets usually attack Bandipedia. Unfortunately, once, a "CodyRhodes2" IP sockpuppet attacked Bandipedia when most people would be in school, so you'll have to be careful as it happens at random intervals and at prolonged bursts until that sockpuppet is blocked. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 21:09, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

I cannot take this anymore
As I said earlier about the navigation changing on Bandipedia to the default colours, I have now went on Bandipedia Highlights, and guess what? Now the navigation of Bandipedia Highlights is messed up too. The graphics of one of the tabs in the navigation of Bandipedia Highlights has been messed up, and the level 4 menus customization I put into the CSS and Javascript files of Bandipedia Highlights now looks like a piece of garbage. Make no mistake; I will cease editing on Wikia permanently if they continue to make bad changes to the wikis.

I said earlier on your talk page at the V.G.H. that I am very sensitive to things that bother me, and this is perfectly the case here. I can take only one wiki's navigation being changed to something ugly, but now both of the official Crash Bandicoot wikis have been messed up in terms of navigation. Due to this, I have now removed the topbar from Bandipedia Highlights until Wikia Staff can actually allow more in terms of customization to wikis. My suggestion is, to get the attention of everybody you know and make them beg Wikia Staff to undo the latest change to the wikis. EpicWikipedian 21:21, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * More than likely, I bet they are going to refuse to change the navigation back. If this is the case, either Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights are going to be moving away from Wikia, or they stay at Wikia but I'm gone for good. EpicWikipedian 19:39, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * @EpicWikipedian There is a new style of navigation currently available in Wikia Labs that might suit what you want better. Aside from this, if you tell me what you want done I can have a look at the css and try to figure it out. Suggesting a full scale move from Wikia over something like the appearance of a navbar is drastic to say the least. --Klock101 03:22, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's been a few days since that problem and Wikia Staff are doing nothing to help it. I think that Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights should move away from Wikia, and either become independent or switch to another wiki farm like Wikkii. Wikkii has the exact same skin as Wikipedia's default available as one of it's skin options, so that's on the plus side if we move over there. EpicWikipedian 11:57, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, when first posting your blog, please don't say that we will leave Wikia, instead just politely point out the error, but by Wednesday or Thursday you can say that if you want providing that Wikia Staff are either not providing an answer or they are doing nothing to help it. Then, on Friday, as you said, if they still haven't helped it, we could consider leaving Wikia. EpicWikipedian 23:31, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

I've had it!
I've spent hours of hard work on the navigation for Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights, only for that to be ruined by a Wikia technical update.

Even in these circumstances, Wikia Staff have not even tried to help out the situation. Only one person replied to your blog, and he/she wasn't even working for Wikia Staff in any way, and even then, didn't really help us. This really has done it! If Wikia Staff fails to help us out on the situation by 6:30AM on Friday, 3 February 2012, I am going to set up a blog on Bandipedia and if at least half of the people agrees with me by 10 February 2012, Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights will move away from Wikia.

 * Made a blog about leaving Wikia. Don't bother telling Wikia Staff about this blog, because they've been criticised several times in the past and probably knew that this was going to happen. EpicWikipedian 21:18, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

I've had it! Part 2: Decision Strikes Back
Just so you know, I apologise for my inactivity. Yesterday night, I was sick into the toilet three times, and then my mouth felt very strange and it disrupted my activity the following morning as it made me stay up past midnight and I woken up half an hour later than I should have, so I only had the chance to do the important stuff this morning. Now that we've already set up the blog, I just want to see what others think. Also, ShoutWiki is running an offer where you can transfer Wikia content to it easily within days, so overall I think we should just keep the blog. By the way, I fixed the time error. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 16:59, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't set the default skin of any wiki to Monobook or Vector unless if there is community consensus for it and Wikia is willing to replace the default skin for that wiki with Monobook or Vector (the only Wikia wiki which doesn't use the Wikia skin is Uncyclopedia). EpicWikipedian 18:24, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Missions
I know you're nowhere near Crash of the Titans in the game level categories you're making, but when the time comes, skip Titans because every level in Titans is categorised under "Episodes". Bandi Cooper 22:26, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

OK. What game are you on? Bandi Cooper 11:29, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Monobook
How do you think we should improve it? Do you know much about programming? EpicWikipedian 18:19, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bandipedia Highlights also has a Monobook skin. Apparently, it's possible to get a very similar look to Wikipedia's default skin on Monobook, and I might try implementing it later today, because Monobook was good for it's time but for 2012 it looks outdated. EpicWikipedian 10:13, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Upgraded Bandipedia's Monobook skin. It's very hard getting it to do the new menus, though, so it still has the old menus, but it's mixed in with the larger tabs and a moved search box. I think this new skin works even better with Bandipedia! EpicWikipedian 11:10, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

How do you get onto your preferences? Googlydoe 01:20, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Bandipedia Highlights might eventually replace the main Bandipedia as the main Crash Bandicoot fansite on Wikia
After thinking about the future of Bandipedia, I don't really think this project is going to get any bigger. But for Bandipedia Highlights, it is constantly getting bigger, and it currently has 38 pages and 36 images. Generally, Bandipedia is limited to providing an encyclopedia, while Bandipedia Highlights is varied in activities, recently expanding to focusing on one subject in extreme detail (for instance, the "The First Of The First" promotion) and providing a fanon service (for instance, the "Bandipedia Highlights Fanon-o-matic" promotion).

I think that Bandipedia Highlights has a better design than the main Bandipedia, and once Bandipedia Highlights reaches around 1,500 pages, we might look into replacing the main Bandipedia with Bandipedia Highlights as the main Crash Bandicoot fansite on Wikia. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 16:35, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think that will be possible due to the design of Bandipedia Highlights, but I'm just telling you that the main Bandipedia hasn't grown much at all over the last few months, in fact, it has actually lost quite a few pages. Meanwhile, Bandipedia Highlights is constantly growing. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 16:55, February 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Crashfreak, since you are the lead admin on this wiki, please think hard about this idea he is imposing. Merging two wikis is a very risky move, and once you merge them, there is no going back and undoing any of the changes. SmashWiki use to be one of the most popular wikis for Super Smash Brothers and had a very organized layout. But once they merged with another SSB wiki, the whole wiki went down the drain and lost many respectable articles and templates due to the merge. You need to create a fine line between a wiki dedicated to Crash Bandicoot content and fan-added content. Mixing those two together will not work out and we will just get Brodie Buchanan 2.0 articles. I know EpicWikipedian worked hard on this wiki, but don't forget the hard work other members have placed on this wiki too. Please reconsider this idea before hastily jumping into this decision. -- The Magnum Master 03:16, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, that's not it. Bandipedia itself will still be running while Bandipedia Highlights will be seen as the main Crash Bandicoot network on Wikia. Sorry, Crashfreak99, but I am getting very stressed about various things, especially now that Wikia Staff have found out about my blog. Do you think that I should take a break from the wiki briefly? EpicWikipedian 07:22, February 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry to butt in like this, but I think you deserve a brief break from the wiki, Epic. You have been working very hard. Bandi Cooper 15:19, February 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * My two cents: It will take a good while before reaching 1,500 pages on highlights. Bandpedia hasn't even hit 1,100 yet. Anyway, you say that Bandipedia Highlights has a better design than Bandipedia. Am I the only one that sees this as an issue? I know the whole skin debacle has thrown things around a bit, but shouldn't the main wiki have the better design regardless? --Klock101 00:24, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bandipedia itself was good for it's time, mostly limiting itself to providing an encyclopedia, but also provided a very limited news section (under the "current events" section on the main page). But then came along Bandipedia Highlights, and it seems to receive more positive feedback than the main Bandipedia in it's theme. Eventually, the "current events" section on the main page was fully replaced with Bandipedia Highlights, because the new site offered much more detail in it's stories. Bandipedia Highlights then later expanded into providing promotions, which is very varied in what one can do with them, as well as a weekly poll. It is also getting bigger much faster than the main Bandipedia, so that is why I'm suggesting that Bandipedia Highlights should become the main Crash Bandicoot fansite on Wikia some time in the near future. Thanks for listening. EpicWikipedian 08:29, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Let me introduce myself. I'm VaniVoid97. I'm here to help you out if the wiki needs help. I'll always be available for anything. VaniVoid97 20:31, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

A little problem
Unfortunately, the wordmark for Bandipedia Highlights has been messed up REAL bad. I'm going to give Wikia ONE last chance to get better, or Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights are going to be moved out of Wikia. This has gone on for long enough, and it's stopping NOW. EpicWikipedian 18:09, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the previous comment, the wordmarks have been fixed now. EpicWikipedian 07:19, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Monobook on Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights
I agree that the chances are very slim now that there are 7 people opposing and 5 people that are either neutral or supporting, but if the situation hasn't been sorted out by April 2012, we may reconsider moving. By the way, I would really want Monobook to be the default for Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights, but so far Wikia has only made one exception, and that is for Uncyclopedia. EpicWikipedian 17:12, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * We also need to work on Monobook skins for wikis other than Bandipedia and Bandipedia Highlights, because, most wikis have done nothing on their Monobook skin and the logo is, therefore, just a blue "Wikia" logo. If many wikis start customizing their Monobook skins, it may improve the chance of Wikia making an exception for us. For instance, the Video Game Helper has done nothing with it's Monobook skin. I offered Gamermead to customize it's Monobook skin, but he hasn't replied yet. EpicWikipedian 18:48, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

A few more things
You seem to be far less active than earlier. Is something happening in your personal life? It shouldn't be, as it's the half term holidays now. Just so you know, I've became active again. EpicWikipedian 17:07, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Crash Bandicoot humour wiki
Video Game Helper isn't really growing too much now that the founder, Gamermead, has became inactive. If he continues to be inactive, I might consider turning Video Game Helper into another spin-off service of Bandipedia, under the name of UnBandipedia. This would be a Crash Bandicoot humour wiki, with funny jokes such as that eyeball thing you found in an article a few weeks ago, and it would also be the "official enemy" of Bandipedia. It would be based off Uncyclopedia, but focusing on Crash Bandicoot. What do you think? EpicWikipedian 17:35, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

@Epic Well I like the idea. Bandi Cooper 20:37, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

H2 Oh No
I don't think that there should be an exclamation mark next to "H2 Oh No". It makes the article looks very un-professional. Also, why did you suppress the redirect? You should have at least left the redirect in place. EpicWikipedian 12:43, February 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Why would it look unprofessional? The official name of the level is "H2 Oh No!", so the article title should have that in the first place to reflect the title of the level. Many other wikis have article titles with punctuation in them because the official source contains them. -- The Magnum Master 15:47, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes the article feel like a joke or something that Bandipedia is not. EpicWikipedian 16:07, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Been there, done that
Honestly, I really don't think that the main Bandipedia is going to get any bigger after this point. Everything has already been done. Furthermore, the last major Crash game was in 2008, and the last minor Crash game was in 2010. Bandipedia Highlights is constantly growing, and it'll grow even more once the UnBandipedia promotion of Bandipedia Highlights is launched in 7 days. If we make much more high-quality highlights and promotions on Bandipedia Highlights, and you start running Twinsanity Tips & Tricks more often, I bet we could be able to make Bandipedia Highlights the main Crash Bandicoot fansite by the end of 2012. Thank you for listening. EpicWikipedian 15:28, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

The CEO of Activision is a fan of Crash Bandicoot, so there is a chance that there will be a new Crash game. Plus, the franchise has sold 40 millions copies. And besides, there's plenty of more things to be covered here on Bandipedia. MOM missions, CNK 3D race tracks, COTT and MOM DS levels, beta elements, a few race tracks in the racing games, Boom Bang minigames, N-Tranced levels and probably a lot more. Bandi Cooper 15:38, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but as no major Crash game has been released in over 3 years, I don't think that the CEO of Activision actually means what he is saying. If he is a fan, then a new major Crash game would have been out by now. EpicWikipedian 16:12, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
