Re: Admin welcome
Thanks! I appreciate it, it's good to be on-board. Oh, and if you have a moment, could you review the Featured articles nominations and possibly weigh in on some of them? I recently got the process started up again and I'd like to get some people to vote on the nominations that have been made. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:39, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Bureaucrat
You flatter me, really. If it is in the best interest of the wiki, I'd gladly accept nomination. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 20:18, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Other featured content
You're completely right, it could all use a good lookover. I was hoping to clear out some of the backlog on the Featured articles stuff first, and then maybe move on to that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:00, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Videos and references issue
This was an issue that came up a while back when Wikia added in the "Media galleries" feature. As Hunnie Bunn indicated, if you find any others like that, you can just change "widths" to "width" and it should solve the problem. Most of them have already been taken care of, but there may still be one or two here or there that have the issue. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:58, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Issues
Hi. Sorry to keep bothering you. But I had two questions. Thanks -- Hunnie Bunn (talk ) 00:42, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Would it be all right if I change the "their" in your last message to Professor Tofty to "his", as it's just one talk page?
 * 2) I see you opened up a vote for Seth Cooper to be a bureaucrat; am I allowed to vote?

Re: Expulso Spell and Orange
The link loaded okay for me, however, given that this is an unofficial gameplay and strategy site, I can't endorse a change in the spell name based simply on the information of this site. And as for your name not appearing in orange, I can see it in orange on the Recent Changes, but not the Recent Wiki Activity. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:57, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Avery Jr.
I wonder which of the Death Eater in 4 film was Avery?

HP on the Web
Hello! How would you feel about taking part of the responsibility for the Harry Potter Wiki Twitter (@Official_HPWiki) and Facebook? We are looking for someone or some people who would be interested in maintaining the accounts! We usually like to update daily, but we also like to have fun with it! I am contacting you because you seem pretty active on this wiki, so if you are interested in learning more, please let me know! If you are not interested, but can think of other users that would be and would maintain the accounts regularly, please let me know as well, thanks!

Possibly same character
Hello Nick O'Demus I noticed that: Unidentified Death Eater (III) and Unidentified Male Death Eater (III) has the same costume .If it's the same character then we're on this Wiki progressed a further .Talk it over with the other Admins.

Non-beings as creatures.
Hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you, but I am not sure that categorizing "non-beings" as "creatures" is correct. Unless you define "non-beings" as "other-than-beings", it is logically contradictory. MinorStoop  13:13, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Linking
Hello Nick O'Demus. I've recently opened a new forum, which you can find here. I would appreciate your valuable input on this matter. Thanks. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 21:01, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Bullying Report
Hi. According to this user I am constantly harassing and bullying him on his talk page and to use his words "tearing [him] apart". You can find the comments here. I figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to block me or something, whatever it is you do when you see mean comments. Thanks! Hunnie Bunn (talk)

Never mind, it turns out I wasn't bullying him after all. Sorry to bother.

Reading Club
However, ProfessorTofty and I were thinking of starting a Reading Club (or so, I asked and Professor Tofty said it was worth considering). Would you be interested in participating? -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 02:06, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the page Avery (Marauder-era)!
Well, thank you a lot to correct my mistake!--NGC fan (talk) 13:14, January 29, 2013 (UTC)NGC fan

RE:RE:Linking and Reading Club
Sorry it took so long to respond, my computer kept on shutting itself down before I realized it needed charging... As toward the linking matter, I think perhaps it would be best to expand the two wikis before beginning to link this one to them, as this one is so large by comparison. Toward the reading club, though - we look forward to seeing you there, and it should be good fun. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 12:59, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Pottermore
Hi, thank you. I've just accepted. Nice to know another Hufflepuff from here on Pottermore. I hope they don't need too long to go on with the book. This waiting is annoying.

Okay then, forget harpies. I'm Belac Reteet, by the way. Hey, I wanted to tell you something. We're having a debate on the Horcrux Talk Page about whether horcruxes count as living things or mere objects. We could use more people, so I thought I'd let you know.

hi why did you delete that Ellie Samantha page?

I know Ellie Samantha in real life and the casting director of Harry Potter told her she was really close to getting the part, he said if Helena hadn't got it she would.

Susan Bones
No affence (offence? offense? ofence? a fence?), but shouldn't we be using the film image, even if it is outdated, because films are second tier canon and video games are third tier?

Chat
If you have a moment, could I talk to you on chat? Whenever you have the chance is fine. I'm going to be on and off throughout this morning (and probably for at least fifteen minutes from the posting of this message), so if you get this, just holler, and we can talk. Otherwise, just if we see each other on and editing at the same time. ProfessorTofty (talk) 11:37, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Some of those do look vaguely familiar, and I'll certainly keep my eyes open for them. ProfessorTofty (talk) 12:07, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Original Research
Hi Nick. I saw your message on this thriving discussion about using anything other than canon to apply to canon. Does this therefore apply to dates perceived from mathematics (i. e. dates students were born or when they graduated from Hogwarts, etc.) and does that mean that Jelly-Legs Jinx should be unmerged from Jelly-Legs Curse? Or Gemino Curse (Doubling Charm) from Geminio? Finite Incantatem from General Counter-Spell? Admittedly, I did all of the above merges, but it was with little to no opposition. Shouldn't I have? Should all speculation be removed? (PS, Sorry if I come across as standoffish or whatnot, but I'm being a bit paranoid here).

Killed by categories
Not having categories of only one article makes sense, but there are already quite a few that fit that case in Category:Individuals by killer. Just letting you know so you can delete those. -- Snorlax Monster  06:59, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Quote of the Week
Thank you for taking care of adding the recent additions to the archive. I wasn't familiar with how to get to it. Since they've been placed there now, I'm going to go ahead and remove them from the nominations page, so they're not cluttering it up anymore. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

actors category
So recently it came out from a direct source that one of the actors we had listed for an actor in the movie was wrong (though I wish I could have seen the sources I had listed before it was deleted, because I know I wouldn't have created a page on a random hunch unless I had seen it on another website >.<) but I decided to maybe go through and double check sourcing on all our real world actors and such, when I noticed that an anon recently made some new categories within the actor real world category specifiying nationality, like "American actors real world". So two questions, is this something we should keep, and personally I think if we do, so to not be redundant, I could go through and make sure it follows a cateogory tier, so like if it's an american actor, they only have that category and not the actors category as well, what do you think?

Re: Category notability
Thanks for fixing up the "Quidditch teams with robes" thing. And yes, I'd defnitely be up for a discussion of standards regarding category notability-- I do agree that it's seemed like it's gotten a bit out of control lately. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:43, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Actors references
Oh, boy. What to do: categorically remove the possibly misleading statements, or should we try to find additional references that confirm his participation in the film? -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 14:08, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Interwiki Linking
Hi, I'm Eladkse - an admin at Community Central. One of my responsibilities it to help manage interwiki links between wikis of different languages. I'm calling by to ask if you could confirm that the German wiki de.harrypotter is indeed the correct interwiki variant for Harry Potter Wiki. Due to unknown reasons, harrypotter (sans hyphen) is also linked to this wiki, and i need to know which is correct so I can fix it. Many thanks. Eladkse (talk) 15:24, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not an admin anywhere of relevance, but I have something to contribute. Over a month ago, I made a forum post with a very long list of foreign-language Harry Potter wikis: you can find it here. It lists both German wikis in question and dozens more languages: Danish, Catalan, etc, many of which aren't linked to this one. I asked if the the admins here would like to get their wiki linked to these wikis. ProfessorTofty deferred the decision to community consensus. Admirable, but nobody ever posted again. I s'pose Eladkse's business is top priority, but you might take a look at my thread too. Elecbullet (talk) 22:17, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Just wondering, how does one make the names of pages italic? I know how here, but on the Potter Dictionary Wiki (a wiki just about the books), it doesn't work so well (an example can be seen here). Could you please help? Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:46, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Redirects to talk pages

Questions
I have four things to ask:

1. I would like to add a "Reception" section to the Draco Malfoy page regarding his popularity and the tendency of people to pair him with Hermione, as well as the fact that he directly inspired the "Draco in Leather Pants" trope.

2. Crabbe and Goyle should be redirects to Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle rather than their fathers since the sons are far, far more prominent and are usually referred to by their last names.

3. "Sorcerer's Stone" should at least be mentioned as an alternate name or alias in the Philosopher's Stone article.

4. I would like to create an article on the audiobook splicing series known as "Dirty Potter", or at least add it to the list of parodies page. Is it notable enough for a mention here, or even its own page?

Please respond on my talk page. <font color="Green">Moleman 9000  22:36, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

False info?
Good Morning,

Can you help me how to detect if anyone is using false info. instead of real relevant informaton, if yes please leave message on my Talk Page Amujoshi11 (talk) 10:41, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

False info i meant to say that if anyone used their own information or which is irrelevant what can i do to get to know about it

Wikipedia template
Appparently Wikipedia changed the way it does the URLs for page histories since the Wikipedia template was created on here. It's directing to "w/wiki/pagename&action=history", but apparently "w/index.php?title=pagename&action=history" is what is now needed in order to get to the page history. I'm going to try to see if I can get it to work, but in the meantime, I'm letting you know, just in case you might know something that I don't to fix it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:15, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Well, I have one or two other things I want to try, but if those don't work, then yeah, I guess we ask Grunny. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:52, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, give it a whirl, then, because what I just tried didn't work. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:57, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Looking good on my end. Nice work. ProfessorTofty (talk) 22:04, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

Just a Few Questions...
Hello Nick. I just wondered... first, wonders whether there are any more opinions on this topic, so I wondered if you had an opinion to share :)

Also, I wondered if you knew why the infobox on here was acting the way it did... I still remember how hard you tried to help with the titles and appreciate it a lot even if it wasn't quite the way you wanted it to turn out... we did manage in the end, though :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 21:57, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * The infobox will expand with the text being put into it, so that with certain amounts of text, the infobox will expand to fill the whole page. That's in contrast to here, where the text will begin appearing underneath or whatever. Thanks for the help, we really appreciate it. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:09, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:29, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yay :) Thanks much for all the help, we really appreciate it :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:45, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I also wondered if you wanted admin/bureaucrat rights on the Potter Dictionary Wiki, they're available too... I know you'll be spending most wiki-time on your already working-on wikis, but we need another admin for when there is only one. I have also extended this offer to just in case... you,  and he might be working together there, if you accept :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 13:21, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you
I really thank you for the info.

RE:Adminship/Tutorials
I see... hopefully will, then, because we need someone by next weekend.

Anyways, yes please, and thanks very much; I was trying earlier to get it to work, but all that coding is utterly confusing. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:11, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Just a question
I wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured I'd ask you. The "Memory Charm" page claims that the "Memory-Modifying Charm" mentioned to have been invented by Mnemone Radford is "Obliviate", which makes sense when one considers that she later became the Ministry's first Obliviator. However, the "modifying" portion of the name suggests one would use it to modify memories, the way Voldemort's false memory charm worked. Where should I post this theory? And what is your opinion, if you have any? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:00, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

My Wikia
One of Wikia's staff left a message on my talk page regarding displaying an ad for Wikia's My Wikia app service on the homepage. Personally, I have nothing against the idea, but I wanted to run it by the other admins first, just to make sure. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:32, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

New topic
Hi Nick. Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to adapt the spell infobox on our wiki because it has the same problem as the individual infobox did. However, there wasn't anything in the tutorial about what to do if individual sections were unnecessary, and everything I tried just made it worse. Could you please help? Thank you. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:27, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Abusive user
What's the process, please, for requesting a Wikia-wide block on this individual. Is it a request at Community Central? 18:27, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not Community Central as such, but the VSTF Wiki, which is reached via Community Central. I don't know if they accept requests from established users (as they should), or if it needs to be an admin. — RobertATfm (talk) 19:28, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

New (ab)user?
There is now a user called. To my mind a clear candidate for a pre-emptive block for the "unacceptable username" reason, and also I suspect this is the same person as MindlessSh**head and IBrokeThePot whom you banned recently. Perhaps the VSTF need to be involved? — RobertATfm (talk) 19:24, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

i have dealt with both MS and IBrokeThePot before on The Hunger Games Wiki and have reported them to CC. my advice for what it's worth, go ahead and invlove VSTF. maybe they can help. Wingman1 04:02, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Category deletions
Just a heads-up-- try to make sure to check carefully for templates and such before deleting any categories, such as Order of the Phoenix Allies and Death Eater Allies. It was a reasonably simple fix, but until I spotted the problem, it was causing redlinks on hundreds of pages. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:30, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Hunter Mariner
Thanks, Nick. The range-block has been laid down, so hopefully that sorts the problem for a while. I did a bit of checking and apparently that guy is a regular sockpuppet at Wikipedia as well. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:06, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
