Thanks for this marvelous piece of work, we really need to figure out a reward system...

as you can tell I suck at coding myself -Dark Seer

Actualy you need to thank the brains of [1] at [2] Vegas adict 09:20, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Than I thank those brains, but I still need to give you credit for doing somthing

Whoop! 1oo Articles! BB you know what to do! I hope. because I don't... It is not enough that I succeed - all others must fail 08:19, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

NecrusIV - The Crazed Tau Commander says...: TALK - QLD Australia How Come Tyranids or Necrons didn't made it onto the contents?

SniperGhost - Zealots Rise As Blood Is Spilt: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 There are very few Necron or Tyranid articles on this site at the mo, so they can be fitted into other categories until there are enougth of them to warrant their own category (or at least make it especislly useful)).

As Sniper said, there's not enough articles on them. The ones on the page are either generic or concern a universal topic (i.e. Space Marines). KuHB1aM 13:44, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to create a new race category in contents on the main page? There are at least two entirely new races in the wiki but they are not easy to find.Hachiman 00:43, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ignore my last question, I hadn't seen the Xenos category. 86.143.134.167 11:49, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Can I put a link to the page How to make a fanon Space Marine Chapter to help with the problem of (ad I know this is a problem because I've seen too many) badly written space marine chapters.

It would be something along the lines of: "If you are making a space marine chapter for the first time, then be sure to check out this page How to make a fanon Space Marine Chapter."

Hey, what's happened to the site, it looks completely different. --For Russ! For the Wolftime! 14:37, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? Dark Seer changed the skin, cause this wiki is badass and needs a badass skin. How-to links On another subject, should there be a direct link to the How-tos on this main page for the noobs? I haven't yet found one in this mountain of text and boxes.

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? and yes I'm ALWAYS nagging about the design aspect of this wiki... but you know the text in the top left corner of the screen? What if it were, lets say, this? Media:Warhammer40kwikibadgeresized.png‎ It matched the background...

While the colours look alright. There is one thing I don't like, Every article has an info box with a White inset and white writing. This means that, unless you highlight each infobox, you cant read what it says. Are you able to change the specifics of info boxes (I.E: background colour, writing colour Etc.) so that's its easier to see and use, or are we stuck with info boxes we cant see unless we highlight them? --For Russ! For the Wolftime! 19:23, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Tomj. The current infoboxes are just r*****ed, and it is actually Light Grey letters, but it should be some darker color(Crimson, Dark Red, Dark Grey, Black) TardirProductions 20:11, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Exactly! I mean Its irritating I have got bad eye sight anyway, and this doesn't exactly help people with eyesight problems. --For Russ! For the Wolftime! 22:48, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

I got sight problems too, and when people make light grey writing on white background(Or the other way around) I get f***ing irritated, and I have enough problems with my mom calling me a r****d! TardirProductions 00:08, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

My internet is gay today! FB is just sitting idle for half an hour, and my My template isn't working! Anyway, irrelevant.

I were an admin (glum look) Id change the text to black on the infoboxes, and probably change other stuff to make this wiki look cool. Lol jks. Some other admin has gotta do that anyway, I cant read a thing --NecrusIV-(Talk) 04:02, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

• Waves hands* Err, please stop hating on my infoboxes? They were designed back when the wiki ran on Monaco, before anyone had ever even heard of Oasis. As such, the color scheme that they have now was not designed for new skin implantation, which is why they are currently being so problematic. I refuse to take part in any color organization, on account of the fact that I don't see colors like you guys do, and any changes I make which I would be fine with may not be fine with you guys, and I have no way of knowing. Sorry, but there seriously isn't anything I can do. Blade bane.

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? You mean to say that you are colorblind? Or just have no artistic sense whatsoever? Anyway its just a nagging thing in the back of my head 24/7 yelling whenever I see something artistic "redesign it!" "you can improve this!" and etc. That's why I nag about the appearance. XD

Yeah, I'm colorblind. In addition to not seeing the colors the same way others do, I (and all/most other colorblind people do too) see differences in luminosity that you don't, so while reading the infoboxes apparently is hard for you guys, it doesn't pose a problem to me. This is what I mean by not knowing how you guys will see the color schemes I implement, which is why it wouldn't be right for me to change the colors. Blade bane.

I'm colour-blind as well. Colours that are close just seem to blend into one and other. (Example, If light grey writing against white background, the writing just seems to fade to the background. Another Example: If yellow is next to green, they seem to blend to each other). however it need to change. I love the colours of the main parts of the wiki, But its a pain in the ass to see the text in info-boxes. --For Russ! For the Wolftime! 13:47, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

There are multiple types of primary colorblindnesses, and other types of less common ones, but it's all dependent on how the light receptors in your eyes are working. Since you're colorblind they aren't working as well as a person with no color problems, but chances are your receptors aren't working on the same level as mine, which is why it can still effect you (With a different colorblindness) and not me. My primary problems are with reds and anything involving red as a color, with greens working better than red but still not fully, and my blues are nearly fully working. Blade bane.

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? Well I kinda feel sorry for you guys then -___- I'm glad I can see the full color spectrum at any angle and distance, otherwise my art skill would be retarded XD. Whatever the case. Infoboxes. Changed. Now!

Agreed. TardirProductions 13:05, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

are you allowed to create your own Ordos? Primarch11 22:29, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? yeah you can.

thanks just wanted to make sure it was okay to do. Primarch11 23:13, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

are Inquisitors given expanded life spans? Primarch11 00:24, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? in the Eisenhorn trilogy Lord Inquisitor Commodus Voke lived for about 150 years, although he was completely riddled with bionics to the point where even his voice sounded dry and metallic. Depends whether they are a successful Inquisitor

Back in the jolly days of the Third Editon, the Imperial Guard codex stated that there were certain smokeable drugs which reduced the effects of ageing. They were also hinted to have been made from orphans in one book from those days. I'm not sure if that's still canon, though. --Lither _{My talk} 02:16, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Skin

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? I know I'm probably pissing some people off. But you see our sister site has a new skin? Even better reason why THIS PLACE NEEDS A BETTER SKIN! then again I'm only saying that because my craving to design this place is unbearable. anyways, cheers. :D -.- Like for example my two wikis (especially the one linked above) are eye-catching. I'm actually planning to go to University to part-take in a course of graphical design, so serious stuff here (jks jks...) Just the outlay of the entire site, not the main page, it looks nice.

I've gotta ask-how does a quote become featured? Cheers Dog of War ^{AKA the God of Raw} 22:49, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? I just randomly go across the wiki, often clicking the random page button, and pick quotes that are amusing/unique - ones that should attract the attention of passers by. Usually every month or two I change them. :)

kranxx1 - Theres an angry space marine waiting outside...: TALK - . Could I have an ally for my Cadavers Marauders chaos Legion?

We need to liven up the Alternate Timelines- they're getting pretty stale.

Your servant, Gobba42 23:03, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

It happens. They'll come back around when a few people are inspired. Totalimmortal 23:20, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

I'm working on TAU now. Is there anything I can do for you?

Your servant, Gobba42 23:34, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Anybody want me to work on their alternate timeline, or do a page together?

Your servant, Gobba42 20:43, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

yeah I will help you create an alternate timeline what about one where Slaanesh was never born and the elder are still a dominant species or what if the Old ones won the war against necrons and are still around 202.45.119.18 04:34, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Your servant, Gobba42 18:35, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

New quotes needed, lease

We need new quotes. Cheers Dog of War ^{AKA the God of Raw} 07:04, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

NecrusIV - Administrator / CSS & Html wizard: TALK - WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!? Wah!? Huh?! NNNAAAGHH!!! GORE LEGION!? FEATURED!? *pukes rainbows*

Khalael - Administrator: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 Surely you mean: *pukes horrific black sludge*. Seriously, the Gore Legion gives people nightmares. So obviously I voted for them.

Slug gunner fan - Für Gerechtigkeit und Sieg: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 (UTC) Why have I had a 12-hour ban from blog comments and chat? it says "constant complaints from the past week" and I can understand why, but half of it I'm the victim. I can't help but get emotional and angry, it's how I am, and everyone takes advantage, with no admins or chat mods lifting a finger to stop it. I don't know why everyone hates that Dr. Incubus guy, but I now think he was just like me and got just the same horrible treatment. I would like a decent explanation of what everyone thinks is wrong with me, that's all. PS the Gore Legion and Rust pages should really have a warning template: they contain swearing and nightmare fuel.

Solomus-BlackWing - In my name. In my memory. Rise, my Night Lords.: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 <font=Arial Black>Slug, you're banned for a reason, it's not permanent, so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, how many times do we have to tell you to stop asking about Dr.Incubus? It's none of your business, so quit bugging people about it, and do you seriously think that's the reason he was banned? You're not treated unfairly, if anything that's what you do, and yet you expect moderators to take your side? No, you have to realize that you have to think before you speak, which is why you were banned. You don't think before you speak to people, and more often than not end up insulting them, it's rather annoying. The point of a temporary ban is for people to think over what they've done and learn from it, not whine about it. As for the Gore Legion and Rust, this is Warhammer 40k. It literally has WAR in the title, and from the books I've read, they constantly mention gory details. Don't like it? Read something else.

Slug gunner fan - Für Gerechtigkeit und Sieg: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 (UTC) Okay, now I understand about the ban. And as to gory details, yes, I'm okay with that, but some people might not be. It seems quite insensitive, you only have to be 13 to create an account, and there is no age limit for anonymous users, so who knows who's seeing this stuff? Gore Legion maybe not, but Rust really needs a warning. ESPECIALLY due to the rather disturbing image of the victim. Anywhere else would be okay, but the missing face? that's creepy.

Legionaire22 - My Words are the Wisdom of a thousand lifetimes: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 Slug, let me tell you this (Sorry Nec) Throughout my journeys in the literature and artwork of Warhammer 40k, I can tell you I have come across stories and pictures that make Rust and the Gore Legion seem like a very badly made horror movie. Those articles are completely within tolerable limits for what someone accustomed to Warhammer 40k should be able to handle.

Slug gunner fan - Für Gerechtigkeit und Sieg: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 (UTC) It's within tolerable limits for me, I'm just going to say that you only need to be 13 to have an account, and anonymous users may be even younger. So some younger or more sensitive people might view this and be creeped by it.

Registered Scribe - The first step towards gaining knowledge is the understanding that we are ignorant: TALK - 10/24/13 <font=Arial Black>If people don't like what they see, then they can simply move along and find a different site to contribute to, or simply skip said article and look for ones that they "tolerate".

Tardir - Ore wa omanko ga daisuki da!: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 Also, people can make accounts when they are under 13. I made mine when I was, what, 10? 11? No matter. Also, 40K is MADE for gore and blood and creepy things that lurk under your bed. If one cannot tolerate Rust, then one cannot tolerate Tyranids or Chaos Daemons either.

I said I rustled Totals jimmies.

I got banned from chat for a while week.

Imposter101 (talk) 23:16, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Slug gunner fan - Für Gerechtigkeit und Sieg: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 (UTC) Total is an admin. Therefore his jimmies cannot be rustled. Claiming you did manage it is blasphemy, and therefore grounds for a ban. The end.

Sidebar factions

Why aren't there Imperial Guard in the sidebar? Seems to be enough of them on this site, but they are the only major faction missing that I can see. {{SUBST:AFSsig}} (talk) 22:23, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Slug gunner fan - Für Gerechtigkeit und Sieg: TALK - 11:38, Friday, April 19 2024 (UTC) Is that Merihem on the Chaos image for the main page slideshow? Good to see Obliterators getting some publicity, those who are truly Iron Within and Iron Without.

current evil Terminator is awesome and evil. Plaguenumber3 (talk) 13:32, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

That's what I thought. :P Solomus-BlackWing^{My Talk} 13:34, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

hey about the side bar factions...I think we are missing some, or could we make a factions tree like Imperium< SM, Sob, IG, ECT, and Chaos < CSM, Daemons, other.  ? sorry if that's a ridiculous demand/request I just noticed it on another site and was like "cool I wonder if we can do that". Plaguenumber3 (talk) 13:38, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that we are missing the Sisters and Orks from the sidebar, so I'll try to work on those. As for your request, I'm not entirely sure if that's possible, though considering how low my knowledge of coding is, it might actually be possible. Solomus-BlackWing^{My Talk} 13:51, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

*Puts on shade* I could easily do that. The coding's pretty simple. Khalael^{My Talk} 13:55, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Go for it. Solomus-BlackWing^{My Talk} 14:03, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

The only issue is the images. That's less coding and more image manipulation. Khalael^{My Talk} 14:29, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

True. Ask Pschycron if you have issues, he knows his coding. The flesh is weak, it shall be purged, until only Iron remains! 15:03, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

Abyssal Horror - Read my lips, mercy is for wimps!: TALK - Bosnia and Herzegovina (GTM +1) <font=Times New Roman> Could you also change the Chaos Space Marine slide? The fan art is of mediocre quality, the termies look horrible tbh, find some official art, Night Lords or Iron Warriors at best :P

I'll see what I can come up with. -- Solomus-BlackWing -(Talk |^{My Sandbox}) 17:25, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

Shhhhhhh -- Solomus-BlackWing -(Talk |^{My Sandbox}) 19:29, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

New background and such

aside from the colour changing fonts and unseeable picture that is murdering my curiosity, good job! 

And now it's purple. Come on no Slaanesh on the first page please

LordReaper (talk) 10:55, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Well people asked for Chaos and Space Marines. So there will be a compromise of Soul Drinkers. --Khalael^{My Talk} 11:04, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

This is Emperors Children I'm pretty sure, try the Soul Drinker cover art if that's what your going for (personally I reckon it'll look way more badass, but hey that's just my opinion)

Nope, those are the Soul Drinkers. -- Solomus-BlackWing -(Talk |^{My Sandbox}) 11:35, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

I much preferred the original black page with white font, this white page + Soul Drinkers combination is absolutely killing my eyes. Lucario of the Gods (talk 12:08, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Abyssal Horror - Read my lips, mercy is for wimps!: TALK - Bosnia and Herzegovina (GTM +1) <font=Times New Roman> I mean no offense, but.... this theme is crap, really now... The purple is irritating and hurts the eyes

Ok I'm kinda conflicted here. I don't want to say it's crap because it could hurt some feelings, but at the same time I can't really say otherwise.

I'm still petitioning for some Night Lords for the background, the stop some eyes form hurting (your welcome Abyssal :) ).

Quotes and featured articles

can we have some new ones PLEASE

Abyssal Horror - Samo se smrću dužnost okončava: TALK - Bosnia and Herzegovina (GTM +1) <font=Times New Roman> Congrats to who ever made the new theme, it is awesome, all tho, DKoK would have been cooler... well, as they say, when someone gifts you a horse, you dont look at it's teeth. Like said, this is the best theme we had in a long while

Updated the FA to the one that was voted. Also changed the featured quotes so that a wide range was covered from a variety of writers. Put your thanks towards NecrusIV for his efforts in making a robust new theme, Radec. Khalael^{My Talk} 13:35, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
