== Error Message ==
I got this error message when saving the miniseries page yesterday, what does it mean?
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 37704 bytes) in /home/admin/domains/battlestarwiki.org/public_html/en/languages/LanguageUtf8.php on line 92 --Grafix
:You've got me. I'll copy the question to Joe and see if he has any ideas. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:05, 9 March 2006 (CST)
== Note to Self ==
When going on a blocking spree... don't start with yourself. It is interesting to note that the block in no way affects your ability to block, however. You just can't edit. Sometimes you have to learn things the hard way. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:33, 10 March 2006 (CST)

== Japanese articles ==
Hey SV, as you already know I have been creating some articles in Japanese.  When I was just starting I made a couple mistakes.  Unfortunately I messed up the titles of the pages, so we have links to pages that really aren't needed and should be, if I may quote from Stewie, "Eliminated."  Here are the links that I would appreciate being destroyed:
:1)
:2)
::These links were created incorrectly.  #1 has a space between the jp: and the title, I did not do that on any of the other episode guide titles.  It can be redirected to this link if you can't eliminate the page: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 一]].  #2  is incorrect because Part I does not jive with the ending of the title in Japanese: 部分 (ニ)=2.  So the second link if it can't be destroyed can be redirected to: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 ニ].
Thanks a lot for your assistance!--Zareck Rocks 17:59, 10 March 2006 (CST)
:By your command. (You may want to delete the dead links now that they've been "Eliminated.") --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 18:18, 10 March 2006 (CST)
::Thanks a lot!  --Zareck Rocks 18:20, 10 March 2006 (CST)
:::Sorry, I found another page I needed deleted: [[The Captain's Hand/jp: 艦長の針]].
::::Not a problem. That's what we do. Looks like you're making a lot of ground. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 22:12, 10 March 2006 (CST)
== Podcast, Res. Ship, Part 1, Act 4 ==
Great work with the podcast transcription, SV!  Something so minor that I hate to even mention it, but for the multipart episodes I use [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes Sci Fi's episode list] as my guide for the titling of episodes (i.e. using Part 1 and 2 instead of Part I and II).  So when I verified your podcast, I changed the "I's" and "II's" to "One's" or "Two's" and used the long hand version just to err on the side of caution with regards to the [[Battlestar_Wiki:Standards_and_Conventions#Spelling_and_Numbers|Standards and Conventions]].  If I'm in error, let me know. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 22:35, 16 March 2006 (CST)
:Sounds fine! I'm used to working back in the dusty stacks of the TOS episode guides, where they still use Roman numerals (and some of them speak in latin, greek, or aramaic). I've got no problems with you bringing the notation into the 21st century. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:03, 17 March 2006 (CST)
== Table of Contents ==
Hi.. I'm new here, I hope this is right place to ask this question: I'm trying to translate episode guide to Turkish. But I'm not axactly capable of editing this wiki.. So the problem is, when I tried to edit "Table of Contents" section, I can't manage it .Why I can't edit TOC whic I created? I can't find any template around here, too? Can you help me?
: The TOC is created when you do <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>, but it bases it's information off the headers. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 05:34, 21 March 2006 (CST)

:I noticed that when the user first signed up. I was alert for "impersonating an admin" type actions, but didn't really see anything along those lines. I don't imagine it will be much of a problem unless that user becomes more active. Your suggestion was appropriate as switching names is probably as much in their best interest as it is the wiki's. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:31, 11 December 2006 (CST)
== Block of 81.177.14.26 ==
:On another wiki I visit has a massive spam attack by this ip advertising comerical spam from ''wikipost.info''. I searched for the [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=wikipost.info&btnG=Google+Search&meta= url of the spam] it was advertising and saw that it was crawling several other wikis posting large amounts of spam (2mb of text on each page). I felt that this preemptive block was neccesary on this occation. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 09:27, 10 January 2007 (CST)

::::It'll be a race, no doubt. We're still at least a couple years from acceptable edits. Plus the mature nature of the content makes TOS and 1980 far more likely candidates for viewing of the editor-to-be than RDM, presently. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:20, 19 January 2007 (CST)
:::::The question is: Will you bring up your son/daughter to not know that Galactica 1980 exists and that TOS and RDM are the only episodes ever made?

== Galactica Squadrons ==
While re-watching Act of Contrition I noticed a few more Galactica squadrons shown on the walls in the pilots' ready room. In the beginning of the ep when Adama enters, he touches the "Lest We Forget" picture then passes a squadron crest labeled "Vampires". A minute or two later, when we see Sgt. Hadrian standing against the wall, we can clearly see 7th Squadron "Battleaxe" and 4th squadron "Demons" on the wall behind her. How could one go about adding this to the wiki?[[User:AnteaterFeeder|AnteaterFeeder]] 21:04, 20 January 2007 (CST)
:You can just create an article. <code>/wiki/Vampire squadron</code> -- then just create it. :-) Check out [[BW:MARK]] [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 21:13, 20 January 2007 (CST)
::I recall seeing some of these squadrons (and their associated patches) floating around in some of the signatures of folks at the scifi.com bulletin boards and elsewhere. There's not much info to be had, so rather than creating a tiny article for each of those, maybe we should consider [[Squadrons of Galactica]] or [[Squadrons of the Colonial Fleet]] that lists out all the squadron names and insignia that we can find, with possible redirects to that article from the individual unit names. Maybe we should bring this up at List of Pilots (RDM) or a similar article, to see if we can find some other hands? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 21:25, 20 January 2007 (CST)
:::That sounds like a good idea-- the "Galactica Squadrons" page. I wouldn't know how to go about making that page. I'm still pretty new at this. I did however note that the Vampires are the 6th squadron as well as an 8th squadron (an 8 on a red spade), and a Viper Weapons School logo on the walls too. I will bring this up in the list of pilots page. {{unsigned|AnteaterFeeder}}
:::Agreed, one page for all squadrons is better. That can then incoporate the info found at [[Primus]] and [[Vigilantes]] now --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:49, 21 January 2007 (CST)
::::I tried to post this last night (blasted internet), but something like [[Squadrons of Battlestar Galactica]] works. I've been collecting screenshots of the logos when I could trying to identify them, but unfortunately, most are too blurry to read with NTSC DVDs. There is also some good shots of crests during the debate scene in LDYB part I. Finally, there is also a crest for a "Viper Weapons School", presumably the colonial equivelant of the [[w:United States Naval Fighter Weapons School|US Naval Fighter Weapons School]], aka TOPGUN. This could be mentioned in the Colonial fleet article. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 06:40, 21 January 2007 (CST)
I'll go ahead and create the article, by moving the Primus and Vigilante stuff there. Then someone else can add the others. EDIT: It can be found at [[Squadrons of Galactica]], and maybe we should move further discussion there :) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:49, 21 January 2007 (CST)

== Troyian User Page ==
*Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware we could create subpages of our user pages. -- [[User:Troyian|Troyian]] 09:33, 9 February 2007 (CST)
== Podcast info ==
* Info came from the extended podcast.  There's no available normal podcast.  --[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 08:56, 21 February 2007 (CST)
:Hopefully a "normal" one will be released later (at least that's the way it seemed from the post they put up at the Scifi forums). If that occurs it might help to distinguish which podcast that info came from. Nice find, by the way. That one was confusing us over here. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:59, 21 February 2007 (CST)
