Or if you wish to reply to an existing comment (either on my talk page or any other talk page), please click on the section [edit] to the right of the relevant subject header line, and please indent your replies with one (or more) colon(s) (:) as appropriate. Please, PLEASE add your signature (-- ~~~~) to all comments or replies you make.

Welcome back!

Happy to have you It looks like you decided to do a small spate of edits a few weeks back. I hope you choose to stay. Koavf (talk) 19:50, 10 October 2016 (PDT)

Hello again If you are willing, please contact me off-wiki. My email address is [my first name]koavf[littleanarchysign]gmail[point]com. Koavf (talk) 15:18, 22 January 2017 (PST)

Thanks for the welcome! :) Life for me is somewhat disrupted, and will probably be so for some time in the future too. If you wish to chat off-wiki, can you fire the first salvo!? My e-mail starts with my WikiIndex username - hyphenated lower-case - before that fancy hay sign, followed by 'ukhome' (no quotes), then a full stop, finished by something commercial fishermen catch their haul in. :) Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 16:29, 22 January 2017 (PST)

Agreed! Koavf (talk) 23:05, 31 January 2017 (PST)

Activity tag

In this revert You are arguing, that " just because I might not edit for a while, doesn't mean I can't 'sysop!!".

 I've recently been 'promoted' to an {{tag|Active administrators of this wiki|administrator}} 

was never a logically correct sentence anyway. You can be promoted to Admin. If(!) You are getting active, then You are an active admin. One can not promote You towards 'active admin'. And, since You explicitly declared Yourself as inactive that time, it was only consequent to remove this tag. The purpose of this tag is, to collect active admins in this cat: Category:Active administrators of this wiki so one knows to whom to turn in case one needs their help. To turn to You around that time of Your hiatus, was obviously futile. So I removed this tag in service of the help-searchers. I did not do that with other admins, because they did not explicitly declare their inactivity since I was there. I did not declare You might not be admin any more, like Koavf did in this edit which was certainly inappropriate. I knew, that You where gone but not demoted. --Manorainjan 06:55, 24 January 2017 (PST)

Manorainjan – will you EVER learn? Just STOP poking your nose into issues which are NOT your responsibility? And also, stop being the school-boy grass. Your behaviour is NOT welcome here on WikiIndex, in just the same way you are not wanted on other wiki sites due to your aggressive and confrontational behaviour. Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 09:32, 24 January 2017 (PST)

So, again, to the matter itself You did not find any answer. Therefore again You resort to 'arguments' of the type of wp:Ad hominem --Manorainjan 09:38, 24 January 2017 (PST)

Manor, for the love of Pete, stop provoking people. We're all sick and tired of your pugnacious behavior. --This is MY book, and I'm gonna READ IT!!! 09:48, 24 January 2017 (PST)

Email?

Hey Hoof, is it ok if I send you an email? It's kinda important. --This is MY book, and I'm gonna READ IT!!! 08:24, 25 January 2017 (PST)

Sure, can you work it out from my description above at #Welcome back!?? Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 17:21, 25 January 2017 (PST)

About your message

Hello, Hoof Hearted. The reason why I did these redirect is simple: those wikis never existed. They were invented by User:Jason. I was around on the wikisphere on May/June 2015 - even if I wasn't editing here - and I saw how the users from Rex Wikia wanted to fork the wiki to Rex.wiki, but they never did it actually. I know how we treat dead wikis here. I hope it's not a problem if I don't undo the redirects, but it's obvious that you can do it yourself if needed. Best regards :-) --TheTVFan (talk) 04:41, 28 January 2017 (PST)

OK, if they never actually existed, then there is no need to undo the redirect. I trust you are aware of the Category:in preparation status for wiki that are being created, but not yet launched?

Oh, just for future info, we prefer to keep a specific talk page topic on the same page - so if I start a message on your talk page, please answer on your talk page. It will be added to my watchlist, so I will be able to keep track of when you answer! :-P Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 04:57, 28 January 2017 (PST)

Thank you for your reply. I wrote my reply on your talk page only because it's a typical habit on Wikipedia and Wikia :-) Also, can you remove the protection from my talk page? I asked for it when I temporary left this wiki. About the category, I was not aware of it. It's good to know about it! Regards, --TheTVFan (talk) 05:24, 28 January 2017 (PST)

Talk page and user page now unprotected, but still restricted registered users only, ie, no IP address editing. Hope that is OK for you? Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 05:35, 28 January 2017 (PST)

Yes, it's okay. Thanks. --TheTVFan (talk) 05:42, 28 January 2017 (PST)

What's happening?

Hello. I'm asking this question you because you are very active. On the bottom of every page, when I edit, this error appears: "Expansion depth limit exceeded" - "This is not a free wiki hosting site". It is repeated about 50 times. Do you know what the problem is? :-) --TheTVFan (talk) 09:25, 2 February 2017 (PST)

Expansion depth See here. Not sure why it's happening to you--are you transcluding lots of pages or templates. Koavf (talk) 09:42, 2 February 2017 (PST)

Koavf, thank you for your reply. It does not happen when I'm editing templates, but on simple pages. See this screenshot, which clarifies the section in which the message appears. I think it's a system bug. Also, what's happening on this page? Best, --TheTVFan (talk) 10:04, 2 February 2017 (PST)

Templates Initially, I wrote "The problem isn't editing templates as such but using excessive templates in any namespace (including transcluding too many templates into a template--that happens sometimes). Can you show me a page on the wiki which has this problem now? I did a search but could not see any." Then I looked down! It looks like there is a problem with MediaWiki:Edittools. I'm investigating now... Regarding that page, I have no clue what's going on--I may need to export it as XML to even view it properly. I asked Brandon about it awhile ago but didn't get a response--he is too preoccupied to help here. Koavf (talk) 11:46, 2 February 2017 (PST)

Indeed, I didn't understand what you meant before. As of now, I don't see the expansion depth problem anymore. Thanks for solving it. --TheTVFan (talk) 12:50, 2 February 2017 (PST)

Wiki template

Hi, could you please un-protect the Wiki template so I can add a "founded date" section to it real quick? Thanks! --Queen Princess Vizier Countess Jello 09:18, 3 March 2017 (PST)

This sounds like a good idea but it would be really helpful if it automatically categorized a page in the FoundedInXXXX category scheme. That will take a little doing. Let me see if I can configure it (unless Sean wants to or if you have the code handy). Koavf (talk) 12:03, 3 March 2017 (PST)

ye i have the code to do that I just need the template unlocked. --Queen Princess Vizier Countess Jello 13:57, 4 March 2017 (PST)

Give it a shot. If you can make it auto-categorizing, that's helpful. The entire thing needs an overhaul but it's a bigger job than I can do this weekend. Koavf (talk) 16:51, 4 March 2017 (PST)

privileges removed

Hi Hoof Hearted, you should really also remove my privilege as a checkuser. That's the scary group assignment. Thanks and cheers --[[kgh]] (talk) 00:06, 30 April 2017 (PDT)

Make me happy :-)

Hi Sean, I have seen several edits from you that have warmed my heart! Appreciate your efforts here. Best, MarkDilley

You are most welcome! :-) Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 12:09, 5 May 2017 (PDT)

Take a look at my last two contribs

Since they are relevant to you. Don't want to be too stealthy about editing your edits. Koavf (talk) 17:27, 24 May 2017 (PDT)

'Tis late here in Blighty! Thanks ;-) Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 17:39, 24 May 2017 (PDT)

Template

Have You seen this? http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Documentation&action=history --Manorainjan 05:44, 25 May 2017 (PDT)

No, but thank you for the heads up. Much appreciated :-) Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 13:19, 26 May 2017 (PDT)

Question

Hi Sean, why remove this, just curious? Best, Mark

That was from the IP which Koavf blocked. Their edit was meaningless cruft. Best, Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 17:09, 26 May 2017 (PDT)
