Spoiler infoboxes
Would you be able to create some tabbed infoboxes similar to those you created for Forum:Character_Images_and_Infoboxes so we could switch between spoiler-free and spoilery versions of infoboxes? That way we can hide CC spoilers while also making up-to-date info quickly available. Thanks! &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 02:50, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Slufgorn in summer

Hi! Why did you undo the changes to the pages? That's information from the play and it was officially confirmed in other media already.


 * Hi, I like your tabbed infobox. But the deleted info from the play is not in the second infobox. Is that impossible to put it in? Or shall it not be done because of Rowling's wish "to keep the secrets"?  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  17:07, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Cursed child spoilers
I've made a few edits, but I will refrain from spoiling the play. However, I hope this hush hush policy is only temporary. The additional tab for some characters would be redundant after a while, seeing how most information is identical. These things will become more or less public knowledge in the fandom and beyond after a while. Coming to the wiki in these times is actively seeking spoilers in my opinion.

Help

 * Hey! I was wondering if you could overlook something for me. You’re the only person that I have really spoke to on here yet and I trust you to be fair because I think I’m getting into an edit war and I don’t know what to do! I am also scared that because they have been on here longer than I have, they will be unfairly supported. :S


 * Yesterday, I made the page Isolt Sayre. I started with making an infobox and a small introductory paragraph. I saved it and when I did, I asked other users to take into consideration that I would be making a biography for the rest of the afternoon and that I would be grateful if no one else edited the page until I was done because my work would get deleted. Everyone here is giving up their free time to write things on here and I trusted that everyone would see it and be kind enough to let me write. I understand if it was some new user who only came on that same day to start adding things, but I thought already established users would check and not start making their own big biography too.


 * Unfortunately, I went to save my work having checked no one else had done anything – and save for a picture and alterations to the reference – no one had. But in that minute between checking and clicking publish, a well established user ignored me or didn’t check whether anyone else had said anything about not editing and started making their own biography before then ironically making the same warning I did asking no one to edit. I had spent several hours writing a full biography.


 * So I quickly salvaged what I could of what I wrote which was an entire biography compared to their half of a biography, and posted it above their work. Yes, some of it was now like Pottermore’s but I intended to alter those lines when I read through the page and remembered what I originally put. I thought they would copy and paste some of their work to mine and help me change those lines like other users started to do. Eventually, their paragraph got deleted and I assumed the problem was over.


 * Over the course of the evening, other users gave their free time up to help add to the page, alter lines and add links. But I get up this morning, and the user who was chose to write their own biography and ignore mine, deleted everything. Everything single thing that I did and what other people did has gone. The only thing that remains is the infobox. Even the introductory paragraph was changed when there was nothing wrong with what I wrote. I have had a few edits of mine on other pages changed because I altered something which didn’t need editing and I accept that. I didn’t have to change it and I understood why it was changed back but I don't understand why this has been changed! :)


 * So I’m a bit upset and may have a wrote a very long message on said user’s page. It’s not a mean one, but I had to say something because someone else had noticed and already asked why they massively deleted everything instead of editing what was already written and their response was that someone, meaning me, ignored their warning when they actually ignored mine first. But I’m afraid it might get taken the wrong way and the argument will continue and turn nasty so I regret adding to their talk page now and I don't want to be percieved as childish.


 * I am only upset because yesterday was a wasted afternoon. I spent so much time on it. I am not childish enough to delete everything they have now written. But I want to add some of what I wrote when I tweak what they have wrote. But I don’t trust them not to delete it again and the message I wrote will be read soon so I was hoping you or an admin you know well could be some kind of mediator before everything gets out of hand!

RE spelling differences
Yes, that's fine! I am always happy to help. I have spell checked a lot of articles lately too. The words I have changed from US to UK spellings are the common way they are spelt in Britain. If in doubt, I find it useful to check by comparing the word from the way it is spelt in the New Oxford American Dictionary to the Oxford Dictionary of English. I took English Literature at University so I am very familiar with the differences between American English and our English so let me know if you need an opinion on any historical oddities!

Helping out
Do you mean as far as helping out with Cursed Child information? Well, nobody. I have been and always will be a fan, I just haven't been very active here recently. But of course I was in line last night like most others here imagined for a copy of the book of the play and I was up a good portion of last night reading it before going to bed.

 * Nah, I actually meant your request that you left on my talk page. And yeah, I know what you mean. I'm actually still something of a night owl myself. I probably could have read the entire book last night if I tried, but I didn't want to take it all in at once - sort of savor the moment, you know. It's definitely a real mind-twist of a story, isn't it? :) I imagine it must be spectacular to watch as a play, but of course, I'm in the U.S., so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they do decide to do productions here.

 * Physical descriptors from highest canon only seems to be the only reasonable way, IMO. Doing otherwise seems like opening a Pandora's box for either endless and counterproductive information swapping ("No, but Daniel Radcliffe's this tall -- No! But Jamie Parker's this tall!"), or for out-of-universe notes being added to the infobox. If there's sufficient want, I'll open another vote, but I don't really think it's necessary. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 23:06, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

Timelines
Hey! I was wondering what the third and fourth timelines were. I want to help you list the differences only I am certain there were only two changed timelines before time got changed back to the original again. I think I may not being seeing the logic properly as the changes in time along with everything else is a lot to take in! Thank you! --Kates39 (talk) 20:44, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * I had a quick read through the play again, and the second and third timelines definitely need to be merged since they happen in the same timeline. The fourth timeline actually happens in the original timeline so I think it is best to rename it the original timeline. Delphi never manages to change anything so it's not a fourth changed timeline. I am happy change the page myself so you can see what I mean and work from there! (If that's okay with you - if you want to change it since you have been working on it that's fine!)

Hello,

So I've recently been having a look at possible jobs for bots, and have a few ideas in mind. I currently have a bot (ArrestoMomentumBot) in full working order over at the LOTR Wiki, and had a chat with Seth about getting it into working order over here. He seemed to think that it would be wise for me to apply for a Bot Flag, but thought that should have a chat to you first. I mean, if you think that doing all of the botting for this community is easy enough for you, then by all means, I won't apply.

Authority vs Power
"In the text of the novels, 'Power' is used hundreds of time in regards to the rise of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.": True. "'Authority' is never used to describe their aims or intentions and the word 'dominion' is never used once in any book.": Authority is never used to describe their aims or intentions? Just because dominion is not used does not mean it is not applicable. "J.K. Rowling's words are far more precise so let's stick to them.": Even she may not use the most precise and accurate word choice at all times for everything.

Re: Deja vu
Yeah, I had my suspicions from his edits themselves, but what kind of confirms it for me is his "streamlining signature" edit summary when editing talk pages. What I can't figure out is how he's managing to circumvent his bans; if you check his block logs (both J7 and KilerBird), we, the admins, disable account creation, so he's not creating new accounts here. The only logical conclusion I can reach is that he's finding wikis from which he hasn't been banned, creating accounts there, and returning here. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="red">Cubs Fan <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="white">(Talk to me)  22:23, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Redirects
Hey! I think it may be a good idea to create a Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film series) page. However, it appears someone made a page with that name once and then decided to make it a redirect to the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film) page. However, that page is just for only one of the films. There will be two more which will need their own pages. I think we need a page that sums up the entire series, just how we have one for the Harry Potter (film series). I tried to make the page but since it's a redirect, I can't seem to do it. How do I remove the redirect so I can make the title it's own page? I don't want to mess things up too much! Thank you! --Kates39 (talk) 10:43, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
