monkey²: Monkey squared, twice the monkey

I'm like one monkey, times another monkey--monkey²:twice the monkey 20:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Creating subpages Edit

Please do not create excessive, pointless user subpages... in fact, please don't create any pointless pages, period. Thank you. --From Andoria with Love 03:02, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• ok, I just naturally assumed I could add as much pointlessness as I wanted to if I added it to a personal subpage, I guess I just won't do it again--monkey²:twice the monkey 15:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

No, we are here to build an encyclopedia, not for you to have a playground of pointlessness by creating such subpages. The primary purpose of subpages is to create archives, such as for old discussions, in order to decrease the volume of content on your talk page, or talk pages in general. Please focus more on creating a Star Trek encyclopedia with the rest of us and focus less on creating any more subpages. --Alan del Beccio 17:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Fine, from now on, I won't use anymore subpages, and I'll make sure to only make one edit to an article then move on--monkey²:twice the monkey 17:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

My point about making "one edit" was in reference to you not using the "show preview" and having the rest of us assume you were done with something that you had otherwise prematurely saved. --Alan del Beccio 17:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Humpbacked monkey link Edit

Please removed the links to "Humpbacked monkey" from your signature, as it is leaving red links on all the talk pages you edit, so it's probably growing on the "wanted pages" list, when it shouldn't be on there in the first place. Thanks. - AJ Halliwell 15:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Fine--monkey²:twice the monkey 15:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

You might also consider simply not having a redlink of any kind in your sig, as it creates the same problem. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 15:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I don't quite see how redorange font is going to create any problems, other than confusing the color blind--monkey²:twice the monkey 15:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

...or a mock red links, for that matter, to an unnecessary subpage. Otherwise, we would appreciate it if you would make contributions that are more valuable to the progress of this site, and less vandal-like, ie refs to the "Humpbacked monkey." --Alan del Beccio 15:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, it makes it look like you have a red link in the sig that will create problems in the most wanted page. Granted, in this case you have simply used code to color a link to an existing article (the link is unneeded though, as it just links to the subpage you are using for your sig code, and we all see the sig code every time you use it). --OuroborosCobra ^talk 15:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Fine, now it's just plain orangered font, with no link at all--monkey²:twice the monkey 15:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Encouraging others to edit your user page Edit

This is probably a bad idea, as anyone (except for admins) editing your user page would be violating MA policy. The answer to your equation is 2. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 17:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Or zero, but I see your point, and have a simple enough fix--monkey²:twice the monkey 17:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
