Re: Blog promotion
Sure, sorry I didn't know. I got booted from there yesterday for what I did a year ago on another wiki, so I'm going to stop those Help Wanted posts. Sorry again.

Sorry. I got demoted at that wiki for what I did on another wiki a year ago, so I'll stop those posts. THanks for telling me and sorry again.

Aequus156 and the new wiki
From User_talk:Aequus156, I see that s/he earlier today spammed the main page in order to promote his/her new The Casual Vacancy wiki. Sad to say, s/he has done it again, this time on the article page of the novel (as I said on the article's talk page, one link on a page might be legitimate promotion but three is spamming), and even worse, removed the existing link to the older (and far better) wiki!

I think a ban is in order. Entirely up to you, of course. -- RobertATfm (talk) 15:40, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Wikia Features / Congratulations
I haven't been around in a while. My monitor burned out on me on Thursday (I think?), and I haven't been able to get a "new" one until today. It appears the discussion is still ongoing, so I'll leave my comments when I have the time.

Also, a belated congrats on your promotion to administrator! -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 23:43, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal ban needed
Check Special:Contributions/217.23.233.106; this IP has today vandalised Talk:Main Page, and a block is thus called for. I don't know how long a block is usually imposed on this wiki; in cases of mild to medium severity such as this, where the offender is anonymous, I usually give one or three months. -- RobertATfm (talk) 11:56, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Hi
First off.. hello. Second, congratulations on being made an administrator here on the Harry Potter Wiki. Third, I figured I'd tell you that chapters 12-18 will, if the Insider means exactly a week, be released on the eve before Hallowe'en. So yeah, that's about it. 173.33.132.248 02:08, October 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello (yes, this is Hunniebunn). I made a GIF for Shooting spell, and here is the link: http://imgflip.com/i/57dn. I wondered if you knew how to download it onto here so that I could add it to the page? Thanks. 173.33.132.248 04:26, October 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, the video only showed the ground erupting slightly as though something had burrowed into it, when the spell was cast. I uploaded until Harry cast the spell on the rabbit (the second after it ran away, and the gun noise could be heard when Harry pointed his wand at it). Anywho, I figured it'd at least be something to use. 173.33.132.248 19:24, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Casual Vacancy wiki
I've now founded a third The Casual Vacancy wiki at tcv.wikia.com. As you can see, it has a much shorter URL than either of the others, making interwiki links a lot easier; I've also chosen a colour scheme which is at least an order of magnitude easier on the eyes than that of w:c:casual-vacancy,  and at least two orders of magnitude more readable than that of  w:c:the-casual-vacancy.

If you want to look at it, and possibly contribute, feel free. I've uploaded the favicon, but for some reason it isn't yet showing for me; I'm currently in the process of transferring the contents of the first TCV wiki, to get things started.

Of course, if the URL of the new wiki is to be added to this wiki's TCV page (replacing the present lnk?), that will have to be done by somebody else as I don't want to appear to be self-promoting (although, unlike another editor I won't name, I don't suffer the delusion that I "own" this wiki, merely becuse I founded it). -- RobertATfm (talk) 01:54, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * After numerous tries, I've settled (for the time being) on a black-on-beige scheme. I've also turned off the background.  Annoyingly, the favicon still isn't showing for me. -- RobertATfm (talk) 04:17, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your attention is needed: I've just copied your Template:Quote over to the new wiki, and there's a problem with it; the example given includes the template recursively, which is Not Allowed, so the intended result doesn't show properly. The result needs to be edited to use the markup instead of the template, but as I don't fully understand Parsertongue I don't know how to do this. Could you see to it? -- RobertATfm (talk) 04:59, October 27, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Rollback
I appreciate the time you took to write to me, Professor, but I'm afraid that being admin and bureaucrat of two different sites and a casual editor on another two is quite enough responsibility as it is. Thanks, though. --Hunniebunn (talk) 23:55, October 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's true; I suppose I'd best consider it. By the way, I found a quite amusing and interesting post here Bellatrix's Secret on Mugglenet, and wondered whether you wanted to read it (if you hadn't already, of course). --Hunniebunn (talk) 00:06, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Red Sparks/Periculum
As you may have seen on the talk page for what is currently Red Sparks, I have my doubts now that that and Periculum are the same. I would have renamed that page Periculum and made a new one for Red Sparks, but I can't as there's a redirect there. I wondered if perhaps now that you're an admin you can undo the redirect, or if perhaps there was something I'd been missing. --Hunniebunn (talk) 00:15, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Wikia&apos;s Time to Play
Hey Tofty,

Wikia is rolling out a fun new initiative for the holiday season called “Time to Play” where we ask our wikis what page they’re most proud of. We want to know which page you would want to have represent. There will be an official blog going out on Nov. 1 but we wanted to reach out to you early and see if you were interested in participating now.

If you wanted to participate, a “Time to Play” badge would go up on the right rail of the mainpage that links users to the page that you choose, while the footer will live on that same page that links to hub pages eg. http://www.wikia.com/Entertainment for Time to Play goodies. You can see how the badge looks by clicking here and how the footer will appear by clicking here.

We will feature on http://www.wikia.com/Wikia in one the three biggest spots that we reserved for “Time to Play” participants on a rotating basis, as well as a feature on the hubs.

Let me know if you have any questions, I hope you decide to participate! <font color="Blue">Kate 23:28, October 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Saw your comment to Kate, just wanted to give you a quick answer. As soon as you all figure out which article you&apos;d like to focus on just leave Kate a msg and we&apos;ll get you set up. We would love for your other wiki to participate, leave Kate a talk page msg there with a link to the article you choose, and we&apos;ll get that one set up for you too! <font color="Blue">Sena 01:37, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Fantastic, we&apos;ve put it live on Eternal Sonata Wiki and super excited that Harry Potter is excited to participate!

Love it! I do so love Professor McGonagall! It's a hard choice on Harry Potter Wiki :)

Surprise
Hello ProfessorTofty. Just wondered, have you checked the Pottermore Insider today? You'll find a surprise there.  <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk )

RE: Time
Yes, I'm quite looking forward to it. My only problem is.. school. I have to leave at 8:10 sharp to get to school on time, and so I'll be lucky to get through the chapters. And so I have to wait till after school so I can view them all simultaneously. Tell me how it goes, though - it sounds like fun. -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk )
 * Another thing: We are at the end of the second book. The template still exists and is used on pages with Pottermore content. What shall we do about it? Delete it, as Seth and 1337star suggested? Or keep, as I favoured? -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn  (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk ) 02:15, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Pottermore Tag
All right then. I'd offer to help, but I'm not that great with codes whilst on my laptop and will be heading to bed soon. Thanks. And enjoy the rest of Chamber of Secrets - I'm sure you will. -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk ) 03:09, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback rights
I'm wondering if I should have rollback rights on this wiki. I think I've done enough (good) edits by now to be a trusted user, especially since I'm only asking for rollback, not full admin (I have enough adminships to be getting on with). How does one request rollback rights here?

On another topic, has the colour scheme changed slightly? I think the red of the navigation bar, and the salmon-pink of the top bar on the edit page, makes a good contrast with the teal of the sky in the background graphic. -- RobertATfm (talk) 10:31, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Finite Incantatem Merge
I have merged Finite Incantatem with General Counter-Spell for the following reasons: -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk ) 00:54, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) They have the exact same effect.
 * 2) General Counterspell was released with the second book on Pottermore, while Finite Incantatem was first shown in that same book.
 * 3) The length of the incantation matches the time it would take for one to move their wand as shown for the wand motion of the General Counter-Spell.
 * 4) GCS has an image on Pottermore, while Finite Incantatem doesn't - and Finite Incantatem is the only one without a wand motion.

RE:Merge
Firstly, I would like to apologize for the trouble I've given you. However, my second point is that the way I was taught to make a merge was to copy all the information from one page, redirect the page you took the content from to the new page, and then incorporate both sets of info into a new article. I did so - you can see on General Counter-Spell. However, I do agree that we ought to have a nice proper discussion on the topic first, something I should have waited for. -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk ) 01:09, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * In response to your saying that I merged them after you sent me the message: you sent it two minutes before I published my changes. I actually sent you the first message right before I got to work, and started at it whilst you were writing. But anyways, yes, I agree that discussion (and patience, something I need to work on) are important. -- <font face="Chiller" size="6" color="#56LL99">Hunniebunn (<font face="Chiller" size="5" color="#56LL99">Talk ) 01:16, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Pottermoreold
Hey, thank you for the Prefect badge. That's a nice surprise. I should tell you that there are a few articles where I thought the info is so new that I did not switch, like Peeves, Peeves's contract, Polyjuice potion and The Toad after I've read that Pottermore shall offer new infos about ghosts and Polyjuice potion.

New Page
Hi. I was wanting to know if one page I was considering creating is article worthy. I don't think it is, seeing as it is only based on a grey feather, which most likely came from an owl. See this page to see what I mean. Sorry to trouble you, and I'd like to say that your work as an admin so far has been brilliant. <font face="Cataneo BT" size="5" color="#00C78C">Hermione – The Half-Blood Prince (<font face="Vivaldi" size="3" color="#76EE00">Always Accio Me )

It was an image I came across on Pottermore. I was putting images of the bertie bott's beans up on the appropriate page, so I had to look through the 'trunk area' on pottermore where the images were loacted, and I just came across the feather which I must have 'picked up' from a scene at some point. <font face="Viner Hand ITC" size="5" color="#00C78C">Half-Blood Prince (<font face="Vivaldi" size="3" color="#FF4500">Mischief Managed Always )

 * I Erm, I think it wasn't one of the latest updates. I think I got it a while ago, if you give me a short while, I'll create a new account and try to find out. This is the page right now. I'm adding object boxes to a few other pages, and also, how can you delete a category from a page or visa versa if that makes more sense? <font face="Viner Hand ITC" size="5" color="#01C5BB">The Half-Blood Prince Deathly Hallows Illustration.jpg<font face="Vivaldi" size="3" color="#91219E">Mischief Managed Always

 * The page was put up for deletion so not to worry about the label. They are considering creating an owl feather page in which the image and eagle owl feather could be used. One little query though, I've looked at my talk page and found that I'm part of the prefect category. I've seen people with badges to that effect, but i have never been notified that i have earned one or whatever it is. A little light on the matter and i would be most grateful. <font face="Viner Hand ITC" size="5" color="#01C5BB">The Half-Blood Prince Deathly Hallows Illustration.jpg<font face="Vivaldi" size="3" color="#91219E">Mischief Managed Always
