Re: New theme
Hi, Seth! I saw MinorStoops request because of the orange colour for the admins. You can change them here:  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  15:25, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:Recentchangestext.


 * Oh, I understand. That you find here:
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.css


 * Begins with: /* Recent Change Colors For User Groups

When adding new users put them in alpha order */ /* BUREAUCRATS */


 *  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  18:06, June 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, that I didn't know. It does not change anything when you change this colour line?
 * { font-weight: bold !important; color:#800080 !important; }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 07:21, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I now know why that doesn't work with the admin colour. When I look in the MediaWiki:Wikia.css of my wiki there is this code:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }


 * This code I don't find here. Perhaps anymore? Perhaps it works when you change orange to purple and #FF7F00 to purple and then put this code onto this MediaWiki-page here.
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:11, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, everywhere you could read my name these lines must repeated with the names of all the admins. Here an example of Hunnie Bunn's Potter Dictionary Wiki:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie Bunn"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:43, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

When you look here: Special.CSS Potter Dictionary Wiki you can see that user names with two names are written this way:


 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie_Bunn"]


 * First line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Second line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Third line: With this sign: _ Example:Harry_granger

When you look at the lines in your css they are written:

All three with the sign: _

I suggest that's the problem. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 12:11, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Harry Potter Food Fiction
Hey, Rick! Thanks again for helping us promote the wikia spiff stuff. I'm reaching out to you again because we were hoping to do a Harry Potter food fiction this month! Examples of food fiction we've done on other wikias can be found here: Recipes Wiki. We generally have submission blogs on the respective wikia and then a voting blog after the submissions period! The categories we have in mind are


 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

Is there an alternative category that you or any admin think would be better than one of the categories above? Something we've done before is like on Adventure Time we had a category for people good enough to eat since there are characters in the Candy Kingdom. Let me know what you think and if it would be alright for us to host the program here and promote it on the main page! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:25, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! I also love those other categories :D I guess what we will do now for categories (since this is for Harry Potter's birthday bash) is the following:
 * Locale for Party
 * "Host" of the Party
 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

And then "Grossest Food" sounds kind of fun so maybe we'll throw that in. I'll keep you updated! Grace (profile)•(talk) 21:02, July 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello! The Food Fiction blog is up :D Click here to check it out! Could you help us promote it on this wikia too? Also, would you mind if we put the banner that is on the blog on the Harry Potter character page so more people will know we're doing programming for his birthday? Let me know, thanks!

Audio clips/Quidditch matches
I had a look on the audio clip forum and it seems that there are no objections so far. Do you know how to add the feature?

Also, I´ve thought about qudditch match articles and infoboxes again and think that it would be best to start creatinmg them after the 2014 QWC is over. What do you think?

Wikia's Comic-Con Team
Hey, Rick! Sorry to bother you again, but I'm sure you already saw that one of our Wikia staff members posted this blog asking for Wikians going to the San Diego Comic-Con to be a part of our Wikia team! We are hoping to get a bunch of people involved so I was wondering if we could add it somewhere on the main page or link to it from the Community Messages section? Let me know what you think, thanks! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:57, July 8, 2014 (UTC)

Template:Daily Prophet individual infobox
Hi, Seth! Something is wrong with this above mentioned template. It seems to be the signature which breaks the template. Examples: Rita Skeeter and Ginevra Weasley. In the article of Bozo the template works correct. Perhaps you can have a look on it. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:38, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * What's going on here? The Template:Gryffindor individual infobox is also broken? It seems all infobox templates with signature are broken.  <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;">Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:43, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you. I now know that it was a bug because Community Central has made an update and then it happened and is already fixed.

New question
In Pottermore - New from J.K. Rowling: Daily Prophet ("Dumbledore's Army Returns", 8 July 2014) was mentioned from Rita Skeeter that Hannah Longbottom has retrained as a healer. Shall we put Healer in the infobox as second job? And Hermione Granger is called Granger despite her marriage. In the infobox you can read Hermione Jean Weasley, née Granger. But is that really correct when she is already called Granger in 2014? <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 14:39, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to add on to what Harry granger said about Hermione, actor's comments have been taken as canon before and Emma Watson specifically says Hermione kept her name; Rowling does not contradict her. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:49, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seth Cooper!

I'm reaching out today to see if it's okay if we set up a "Parent Page" on the Harry Potter Wiki. Also, if you are okay with it, do you and the other admins have any interest in helping us fill it out?

Here is a Parent Page example from The Hunger Games Wiki to give you an idea of what the page entails. Essentially, it's a guide for parents about the age range for different wikis.

Let me know if you have any questions! We are planning to start setting up the pages over the next week or so. Thanks so much!

Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 23:02, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Two things.
One: we should put a notice on the front page that Krum was victorious in the Quidditch World Cup?! (YAY! I AM CRYING! THERE ARE TEARS AND ME SQUEALING AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN PUNCHING THE AIR AND SCREAMING AND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!)

Two: Can we, after the July 8th article, state that Teddy is a half-werewolf half metamorphmagus? I know Skeeter stated it, but J.K. Rowling wrote the article for Pottermore. Thus, that makes it the highest tier of canon; Teddy is a half-werewolf half Metamorphmagus. Shall I add it? It is, technically, canon. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 20:54, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, put that in. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 23:44, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I'd assume Rita is correct - Ginny doesn't hex her for calling Teddy a werewolf... but does hex her for the other things. By that logic - Ginny hexing for saying things against her family, but not against Teddy - implies that Teddy is half-werewolf, half Metamorphmagus.--HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 12:13, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Wizarding schools
Hi.

Watching the walkthrough I mentioned above, I noticed that several wizarding schools are mentioned:


 * A Russian wizarding school (Can you understand the name? I hear it as "Coldoseras")
 * An african wizarding school. Unfortunately, I couldn´t understand the name and where in Africa it is located.
 * The Japanse school we already knew of is also shown.

Can you create articles on those schools? Maybe we should create articles about each individual champion?

Also, what about crating articles on the potions championship comentator and the unidentified Hogwarts librarian at the start of the game?

--Rodolphus (talk) 13:26, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Can you understand where the African school is located? I think the commentator says something like hailing from ... in Africa.--Rodolphus (talk) 22:25, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Of course.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6W3FZULBtU&list=PLu-YMfPspAuGcYXaC2J1A2gb-0Zp34GI3&index=18

It´s at minute 1:45. Personally, I understand it as "Weikedu School of Magic" from somewehere in Afriva. What do you think? Perhaps yoz could also help me taking images of the champions.--Rodolphus (talk) 23:00, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Can you help me taking an image of the champions? They are never in full view, I´m afraid.


 * Japansese champion: Part 2, 1st minute
 * Russian champion: part 3, 27th minute
 * African champion: part 5 27th minute

I´ve also created a uniforms category. Unfortunately, I don´t know the right words to describe some pieces of clothing. Perhaps you could help me. There are also other zniforms that we could create an article on.

Here is a complete list:


 * Mahoutocoro uniform
 * Russian uiform
 * African unifom

These articles would use a BTS section stating that it´s unknown if this is the general school uniform or if it was only used for the championship.


 * Smeltings uniform
 * St.-Mungo uniform
 * Durmstrang uniform (already created, but needs a good image. Any ideas?
 * Beauxbatons uniform (calready created and image added, but maybe yould expand it and add a quote.

Thank you for helping me and for writing great articles.--Rodolphus (talk) 18:10, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

What are the chances of the Houe Points Game being restarted? I think it's really fun, but now that it's been discontinued, well I guess I'm just kind of disappointed. Allsevenbooks (talk) 03:54, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

House Points
What are the chances of the Houe Points Game being restarted? I think it's really fun, but now that it's been discontinued, well I guess I'm just kind of disappointed. Allsevenbooks (talk) 03:55, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Marital status/actor comments
Firstly, I wondered if the fact that a female adult character does not wear a wedding ring could be a basis for adding perhaps a BTS note or a "Unmarried (possibly)" in the infobox for that character. Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter are the first ones that come to mind not wearing rings, and neither one is mentioned to have a husband (both characters are so despicable that it wouldn't surprise me if they're unmarried). That would, of course, be only a possibly if anything.

Secondly, I noticed that on this page, actor's comments were considered canon with the length and history of the wand; why, then, can Watson's comments on Hermione's name and marital status not be considered canon? (I know Hermione's page has already been changed to reflect her maiden name, but I wanted to get the canon policy figured out). Thanks!--Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:48, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Minerva McGonagall was married but did not take the name of her husband. So it could be that Rita Skeeter and Dolores Umbridge are married, too, but did not take the name of their husband. There's no certainty.

On the other hand they could also be widowed or divorced and the name is not their maiden name.

Last but not least, not all people wear a ring.

Awesome Seth, thanks so much! I will probably set it up sometime tomorrow so I'll send you a link to the Parent Page. P.S. per your conversation with Gcheung28, I posted our Harry Potter Food Fiction in the mainpage featured article section. I didn't touch the Featured Article template, so you can easily switch it back when the contest is done :) Thanks so much! Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 16:46, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Translation of articles
Hi, Seth!

As I once told you I am admin and now also bureaucrat on the German Harry-Potter-Lexikon. As I saw on other wikis in other languages there are articles who were only translated from articles which are created on this wiki.

I wanted to ask now if that's okay for you and if the German Harry-Potter-Lexikon may do so, too.

It's okay when you say No, but I thought I try and ask. In advance of your answer

Hey there! The template for the Harry Potter Parent Page is set up. Let me know if you have ANY questions. Here is an example book parent page for The Fault in Our Stars as a simple guide. Feel free to make the parent page as short or long as you decide! Thanks Rick! I'm happy to help you fill out anything as well. Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 23:26, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

The user has been messing with the Template:Harrypotter page by replacing the links with external links to Youtube to which I had to revert though I don't know if I got all of it with my revert.

Shadow of Mordor versus tournament
Hi Seth Cooper! I'm Mark, from Wikia's Community Development Team.

I'm reaching out to see if your community would like to be a part of a versus tournament we're hosting on the Shadow of Mordor wikia. It would go live in September, and we would be pitting Harry Potter against Celebrimbor from Shadow of Mordor. The voting would live in a blog on Shadow of Mordor and we would post a button on Harry Potter's page here encouraging your community to vote for them. On the voting blog we would link back to your wikia, and we'll be promoting the tournament around Wikia. If your community would like to be a part of the tournament, which would include the button on Harry Potter's page as well as a link back to your community from the voting blog, please let me know by 8/29.

Thank you! Mark ( talk ) 22:10, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

Mud Bloods Documentary Q&A
Hey there Seth! We're in contact with the creators of the Mud Blood documentary (http://www.mudbloodsmovie.com/) and we were wondering if you'd like to do a Q&A with them. We'd need to get this out pretty quick since the release date is next week.

I think what we'd do is post a blog asking for community questions from the community and the creators can answer them and we'll repost.

Here's an example of our Maze Runner Q&A with James Dashner:

http://bookshub.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/James_Dashner_Answered_YOUR_Questions

Would you mind if we get that blog posted today or tomorrow?

Hey Seth! The post is up! Would you mind if we get this promoted on the main page? We can replace the Harry Potter Birthday banner. Would you mind if we did a Community Message as well?

Thanks so much!

Hey Seth! We're going to go ahead and replace the Q&A Mudbloods film banner on the front page where the Birthday banner is and maybe send out a Community message today. I hope that's ok with you! Happy Monday!

Mudbloods Q&A
Hey, Rick! Like Jamie mentioned above, we have a Q&A opportunity with the "Mudbloods" director and some things to give away! I switched out the featured article on the main page (it was pretty old anyway), and was hoping to send out a Community Message to get more eyes on it. Feel free to enter! There's no location restriction on this one and one of the prizes is a download code for the documentary, which looks kind of interesting :) Grace (profile)•(talk) 18:46, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Themes
Hiya Seth! Long time, no talk (or write :p)!

I wasn't sure, first off, whether to message you or make a blog post/forum, and secondly, whether it was a good idea at all. So I figured I might as well ask you first before doing anything else. But I remember last Hallowe'en (or one of them) where (I'm pretty sure) we did up the wiki's theme for the event and then changed it back afterwards. I was wondering whether the general community was interested in doing something like that again this year. First I thought I would get your opinion on the matter - especially since I'm not sure how easily undone themes are, and the theme we have now is admittedly rather cool.

Sorry for such the long message! Cheers! --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:01, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Hi, this is Lucretia. I've been editing the Wizarding Nations pages and things were alright, but then I started editing the Gellert Grindelwald page and something went wrong. Please have a look.

I still see a few invalid references at the bottom of the Gellert Grindelwald page, thought you ought to know.

Just noticed something
The navigation tabs at the top of the screen have changed. The "Books"/"Films"/"Characters" tabs we had before are gone, and now it's just "Popular Pages". What's more, I'd had a couple of pages still open from earlier today (at around 13:30) on other tabs on my browser in order to follow up on some previous edits, and those still show the old navigation tabs, but I don't see any recent changes to any of the MediaWiki functions since then.

Can you help?
The template on the Harry Potter Fanon Wiki for Slytherin Individual Infobox works... except for "Blood Status". Can you have a look - http://harrypotterfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Slytherin_individual_infobox?action=edit - and fix it for us?

Just a heads-up
There's been a persistent vandal who keeps replacing images with a picture of a ceiling fan (most frequently hitting File:Dhharryroomhighreso.jpg and File:Albus_Dumbledore_(HBP_promo)_3.jpg). They've used at least 6 accounts so far:, , , , , and. I've banned all 6, but they keep getting around it, so I've reported them to VSTF. In the meantime, keep an eye on new user accounts and image uploads. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 01:24, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

Some of the portrait images you uploaded last year are appearing upside-down for some reason. I tried saving and reploading one of them, but it still came out upside down. I've uploaded lower-quality alternates of the ones I've found so far as a temporary fix.

Re:Canon
Hi, Rick. I had actually read the wiki canon policy. The problem is that some characters appeared in the films/video games can't be considered because contradict the book, such as Fay Dunbar and her friend. Boy 2 can't be considered canon, because we know there are only 5 boys in Harry's year (Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus and Dean). I hope you understood :)

GianG (talk) 20:15, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

I know what J. K. Rowling said on Pottermore. However the numbers are not her strong point, as stated by her.

Her comment contradicts evidence from the book.

In Harry Potter and the Phylosoper Stone, the joint Gryffindor/Slytherin class included 20 students.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the joint Gryffindor/Hufflepuff class included 20 students.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Gryffindor class included 10 students: 5 boys (Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus) and 5 girls (Hermione, Calì and three unidentified girls). One of the three unidentified girls is Lavanda Brown.

Basing on the book, we know there are: Finally, I want to say that JKR initially thought that Harry's class included around 40 students, but after the writing of the books she thought 40 students per class didn't join her idea of Hogwarts, but the books are the books...
 * 10 Gryffindors (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Calì, Lavanda and two unidentified girls).
 * 10 Slytherins
 * 10 Hufflepuffs
 * Unknown number of Ravenclaws. There are at leats 6 Ravenclaws (Padma, Terry, Michael, Anthony, Mandy and Lisa). It can be assumed there are actually ABOUT 10 Ravenclaws.

Article naming
Hey, Seth!

Sorry to bother you, but the page Salazar Slytherin's locket needs an admin to rename it (to "Slytherin's Locket" as per the talk page), and as you're the most recently active administrator (as well as one of the coolest active admins if I do say so), I was wondering whether you might please be able to initiate the change. Much thanks! --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 01:19, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Useless pages
Hi, Rick. I noted that in the wiki there are two useless pages: Unidentified Hufflepuff boy and Unidentified Hufflepuff girl (II).

The two pages are referred to the missing Hufflepuff male and the missing Hufflepuff female in Harry's year. But these pages are useless for two reasons: I hope you'll be able to delete these two pages. Thanks. GianG (talk) 11:04, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Both the missing Hufflepuffs males and females are two. Zacharias Smith was never mentioned to be in Harry's year and it is not confirmed Leanne was in Harry's year in the novels.
 * The four missing Hufflepuffs are in the classslist, so they already have their own pages.


 * Thank you. And Marry Christmas to you, too! :)

Merry Christmas! Feliz Natal!

 * That quote is by far my favourite, and always has been :')
 * I had a shot at figuring out what you said before using Google Translate, and the only part that really gave me trouble was the "Que tenhos" (perhaps due to the similarities in the Latin languages). Nonetheless, you're correct that I eventually had to resort to an online translator :p
 * Thanks very much for the kind message. I look forward to continuing to work with you and the others on here in 2015 (scary thought, 2015). It'll have been three years since I joined the wiki, and seven for you! :o ) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 20:20, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sophie Roper, Runcorn and Sally Smith
Zooming the picture with paint, we can really find the houses of the students.

The letters "G" and "S" can't be confused, while "H" and "R" got easily mixed up. Looking at Roger Malone's letter, we can  understan he is either in Ravenclaw or in Hufflepuff.

Looking at Madhari and Mati Patil, we can note Mati is a Gryffindor, while Madhari is in either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (she is actually a Ravenclaw).

Then I went to analyze Sophie Roper's, Runcorn's and Sally Smith's houses. Runcorn's letter seems more "H" than "R" and we also know she can't be in Ravenclaw. Looking very well at Sophie's and Sally's letters, we can deduce they are both "G".

GianG (talk) 17:07, December 26, 2014 (UTC)

Please at least try to zoom the picture (at 300 %). The letters can be seen if you zoom, because they had been badly overshawed.

Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom
The page state this: "The office used by the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardy is located on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle .  It is connected to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom by a small stairway."

Then Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom page said: "Classroom 3C is where Defence Against the Dark Arts class is taught. It is located on the third floor. In 1991, Professor Quirinus Quirrell taught in a different classroom because the Third Floor Corridor was out of bounds."

The office is located on the second floor and the classroom is located on the third floor. How is it possible the office is connected to the classsroom by a small stairway?

Since this doesn't directly contradicts the books, we should put the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor, or maybe (because Quirrel taught in another classroom, probably because it was on the third floor), we should mention this as an incongruence in the "Behind the scenes" section.

When you have a look at this etymology and then on that etymology you get two different informations. But which one is correct?

Harry Potter page Question.
Hello, I was chatting with Nick o'demus, trying to resolve the issue where the Relationships section of the Harry Potter page isn't showing in the contents drop down. I made the school year sections/horcrux hunt histories Expandable, and collapsable in an effort to shorten page so it'll show, it failed. I'd like your permission to create a "Harry Potter's Relationships" page and add a link in the HP page under where they would be listed, to the relationships page. I'd also like to know if you'd like to leave the HP page as i edited it, or if you want me to revert it. Zane T 69 (talk) 04:17, January 23, 2015 (UTC)
