Since this page has become rather cluttered, I've moved old discussions to the archive page below. Feel free to leave new messages here. I'll get back to you ASAP!

Is there a way to change the name of a page? That is, for a particular example, is there a way to make the word "session" spelled correctly in http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/Tell_Emily_you%27ll_let_her_know_after_you_finish_the_sesion without creating an orphaned page titled "Tell_Emily_you'll_let_her_know_after_you_finish_the_sesion"? --Christine

Hi Platypus. I don't really get your message becuase I am new at this could you please clarify? Thanks. Iota27

Hi Platypus, I'm sorry to keep bothering you all the time. :/ As I get used to the system I hope these messages will lessen. Anyway, I'd like to delete articles in story The life of a medieval princess, specifically Arturia *Heavy Dress 1*/Mysterious lord through Arturia *Silky Dress2*/Mysterious lord. I created these pages, but had to change the option names. Now they aren't connected to anything. As a sysop, are you able to do this for me? Again, sorry to bother you.--Chlo 20:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Recently, I tried a search, and it came up with this message. A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery". MySQL returned error "5: database is locked". That was just a minute ago. --Chlo 00:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Re: Minotaur's Laberynth. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by move, but I guess it could just be left as it is. The rest of us are warned. Besides, the text is illegible enough that I'd probably have to do it over, and I'm too lazy to do that. Thanks for your help. :) --Chlo 21:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Platypus! Sorry to bother you, but the title for the story "Minotaur's Laberynth" should actually be "Minotaur's Labyrinth". I didn't want to touch the title or category, because I feel like I don't have enough experience working in this site to mess around with anything. And you're the most experienced person I could think of, so... What do I do? It'd be nice if it could be spelled right.--Chlo 03:33, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Not on my page! It stops at "logs"! --User:Fantasy 17:05, 25 January 2012

Hello! I somehow cannot find/access that "deleted contributions" page you speak of. I have tried looking in my account page and my "my contributions" page, and did not find it. Where is it? --User:Fantasy 11:57, 25 January 2012

Hello! I contributed to a story called Sensual Realms (not created by me) that you deleted recently. I would like to know if I could somehow access the pages I had written for this story (to use them for another story or simply to save them on my PC, as I don't want to lose them). --User:Fantasy 21:03, 23 January 2012

Okay, I tried to fix the Q and C bit put it's still collapsed.--Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 11:09, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey platypus the pervert 13 year old comic is a) incomplete or b) (not exactly sure sorry) missing pages can u put them in please and thank you keep up the good work:)

Great, I have two pages in the Uncategorized pages, could you delete them? I kinda balnked out the story for future title-changing and stuff. --Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 11:57, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

I keep psting but I know I didn't cause it, and I don't know who did. The Adult Story Section fell in an earthquake again. --Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 17:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Wow, well, that's enough reason to keep it around.--Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 16:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Darn, click type 'Wiki:RPG' into the search box. It's shameless advertising, so what's going to happen to it?--Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 16:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

And in other news, should there be a link to Choose Your Own Papal Adventure? The author doesn't seem to be working on it and it isn't connected to the main page. However, it says to not put it on but it won't find a new author that way.--Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 16:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, but he'll leave two newborn carcasses of barely started stories. He didn't even bother putting a category for one and the other didn't have brackets around it. Didn't notice the case sensitivity, either. Figure someone will pick it up someday.--Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 16:44, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Note: Adult story section got collapsed. Not sure how to fix it. Might remove other stuff in the process --Snowball- The Anti-Adult-Content Resistance Leader 16:04, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I realize now my first idea may be a bit too much to start with. Are there any rules against making a short CYOA just to get one's feet wet (and see if people actually like my writing. :0)? Or would it be better to write some pages of public stories? (Most public ones seem to be adult though. o.o) -- Cpt. Devonin

Hi. Since you seem to be the person in charge, I was wondering if occassionally having formatting errors will get me in trouble? I will be posting from my phone and sometimes it utterly refuses to let line breaks 'work' no matter how many times I hit enter. (By work, I mean, it jumbles/smooshes my paragraphs together). Sometimes I can fix it, sometimes I can't. :/ On the same note is there a 'Request an Editor' thing so that maybe if it does happen you aren't having to be the one who corrects me all the time? Thanks. -- Captain Devonin

I'm going to ask you, what are all the stuff in special Pages? There's wanted and unwanted and so on so forth. What are they for? --Snowball 22:32, 28 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks for the clarification. I guess unwanted pages would be already written. --Snowball 11:28, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Platypus, the original author is a friend of mine and he's asked me to take over his story. I have a couple of stories and am hoping to merge them into one, so I can focus on writing one large, interconnected one rather than a couple of smaller ones. --User:elsarin

I don't think I'm up to the high standards you set on your site. I won't trouble you anymore with uncategorized pages and I apologize for the time you've had to spend cleaning up after me. If you could please post the contents of the page you deleted on my talk page, I'll copy them elsewhere. Thanks. --User:Fizzlebop

Platypus - I'm new to this site and have been having fun creating stories. After your warning about categorizing pages, I added categories to my pages. Apparently, I forgot to add a category to one of my pages last night and you deleted it. Please restore the content of that page so I can add a category. I am still in the middle of editing this story. I'm not going to continue spending hours writing stories on this site if a simple mistake like this causes you to delete all of my work. --User:Fizzlebop

Hey Platypus, I made some changes to links in The Story of Jack Foster, and all three links suddenly took the reader into Smutty sex Romp. I guess the author of that page, who doesn't seem to be active any longer, must have intended for this to happen, but it just seems really odd. Can you let me know your thoughts on this? I will change all the links back if you think I should, it just seemed like a mistake at first so I corrected one, then another. When I saw that the third link of the three on that page led there too, I thought i should check in with you... Thanks in advance! --User:Starry 20.14, 19 November 11

Hey platypus, I was hoping you could add another few... Or alot more pages and options to the story A New Life in the section of a college girl with a bladder problem. Please add alot of new and exciting pages that relate to the topic, by myself I think I've added atleast 5 or more pages but I'm not even as close to as good as you in editing and adding plus one other reason is that it is not as fun when your the only user editing and adding to that story in which you have to create all the pages and when you read ten you already know what will happen. Please add alot of pages and exciting new options to the story in the college girl with a bladder problem Section. Thanks. From: Shawnbunbun. Once again thanks.-November 15th at 6:10 PM (AKA 18:10 Army time).

>.< As far as I knew the grammar isn't too horrible. I'm pretty sure I got spelling correct... is it just the random capitals for words that shouldn't be capitalized that's bugging you? And I'll remember about the Category's. ^^ Btw new to leaving messages so sorry if I've messed up. Just found this site last night. --Xx.Fate.Eater.xX 14:06, 08 November 2011

Hey, I was wondering if you could create two pages, a public and a so-called private. This could lessen the chances of people editing stories that were only supposed to be edited by one person. in fact, a completed section where nothing could be edited could be placed as well. Tell me what you think or if you want, just create the section.

--Snowball 03:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey Platypus, I dropped by the site this morning to do some additions to my stories and noticed that both of them have been removed from the main page. To my knowledge neither have been deleted and I am greatful for that. I am unsure what I have done or how I have offended you to make you want to remove peoples access to my stories. I won't make any additions until hearing from you or revert the changes you made. I realize that I, personally haven't made any recent additions to them but since they were still being read and other people were starting contribute I didn't think this would be a problem. If I have done something to offend you then I am sorry, if you would have dropped me a line on my talk page then I am sure we could have worked it out. Please let me know what you would like me to do or not do. Thanks,--Blackdragon25 15:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


Hey Platypus again, on the main page The Devils Daughter has no apostrophe if I put an apostrophe wouldn't it totally spaz out?


Sorry Platypus about not putting down the Category, my bad there, still getting the hang of this system!! Forgive me :D

-- Not sure what you mean by the last message I received, as I copied off of the main tutorial page on how to add category. --Missredelle


Sry, I'm from germany and those hs cause me alot of trouble:D By the way, this was my first writing here and I would appreciate some feedback maybe. Thanks for the correcting

--MCGeddo 21:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Is what TheSugarTrail is doing with that story of his anything more than spam? Story starts out with pick your hair color. 4 options. Then nothing changes from that other than simple hair color. Then after that comes eye color 3 options again nothing changes b/c of this. Finally a name is picked with 6 options. Nothing changes in the story based on these 3 things. Then you gotta do the math 4 x 3 x 6 = 72 pages per page of actual story. SEVENTY TWO PAGES PER PAGE OF ACTUAL STORY!!!

The story currently has about 232 pages. Roughly 10 of these 232 pages are not simply a clone of another page with 1 word or letter changed. Each additional actual page to the story will be needed to have 71 clones of it to keep the story going.

--Yihman1 22:03, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I thought I was categorizing my pages but I have received three messages from you stating otherwise. I guess I was doing it wrong. Could you tell me how it should be done? (Edit) Thanks I'd been putting it in the summary section.

Archiving The 'General Discussion' Page & Other

Like what you did with your own user talk page, perhaps you should do the same thing with the 'General Discussion' page. It's got a ridiculous amount of subtopics on the page and most of them are dead. I'd like to use that page more often and maybe help people with their problems other than just you having to toil away being admin and all.

Also, maybe we could have a 'Story of the Year Award'. The nominations for this award could include the stories that were featured in the year. There would be a separate page where people can vote for a story. Voting can be done by making pages called (( Voting: Nomination )) and people can just click on the page to vote, the amount of views that were done on that page will decide the winner. --Heyoeveryone 23 October 2011

I'm in full agreement about the General Discussion page needing an archive. I'd be happy to contribute towards making that a reality, too. JackalRobot 19:38, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
I decided to full-on go ahead and be bold, so I did it. Everything prior to 2010 is now in an archive page. If more discussions did take place on the General Discussion page, I can see a system that had archived sections divided by topic, e.g. an archive for questions about writing stories, an archive for questions about how to edit a wiki, an archive for promoting a particular story. But that's the future, and I'll probably have cyborg bits by then. JackalRobot 19:56, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Dating Site Ads

I know you've probably noticed this by the time you read this, but some person changed the Main Page to some crappy dating site ad. Thankfully, I happened to go on about 45 minutes after this incident and switched it back to the previous addition. This is really starting to piss me off, the Dating Site Ads I mean. Just checking the recent changes now, I see two spam accounts that were just made, with one being the account responsible for doing the griefing on the site. Hopefully this rubbish can finally end. I don't know who is doing this, but one thing is for sure, they must be really bored. --Heyoeveryone 9 October 2011


Apparently they are at it again, if I did it correctly I changed the main page back to your previous edit. It's amusing in a way because they actually think people looking for a choose your own adventure style text based site like this are doing to see some dating advertisements in "not-really English" and go like oh, let me check that out instead. I also updated two of the stories I have been working on for # of pages as they were out of date. --Rouge November 18, 2011

Review Area

Hey Platypus, i've recently finished my last story (though, I need to read it over for grammatical errors), and I was thinking that I should, instead of making another story, I would perhaps make a reviewing area, if this works out well, this could increase publicity for stories which should be read, encourage writers to continue writing on this site, and also give writers constructive criticism (e.g. one choice stories).

You should be asking by now, why are you asking me? Well, I already asked TheElderOnes, and he says it's a good concept, now i'm just here to ask you if you find it good as well. Perhaps, even helping me do reviews, since you are, a well known person on this site. -- Heyoeveryone 7:36 (AEST), 21 September 2011

A few more questions, where does my review page go? I kind of don't want it to be in some section were no one would see it, since the whole point of this idea is to increase publicity for stories which should be more popular and of course, make consturctive criticisms about the writers story. Also, who are some people you would think are capable and willing to help me write the reviews? -- Heyoeveryone 16:48 (AEST) 21 September 2011

Maybe you could somehow mix them together. Say, add a third column, then add a link on the main page to all the reviews. The link could tell the reader how the reviews are done. -- Heyoeveryone September 23 2011

Cool! Just tell me when you're ready. Though, I think that I may need help with this project. Since I can't play through every single story without becoming too stressed (I don't want this to become a 'real' job). Plus, I have some personal issues to attend to, so I cannot necessarily log in every day. So I'm suggesting that we should make a 'ad' for people willing to review, they can send you or me a message detailing why he or she should be allowed to review. Or, we can go a easier way and just make a 'user reviews' section. Then, if we find certain reviews that are of high quality, we just move it to the 'official reviews' section.

Oh and sorry for the late reply. --Heyoeveryone 20:57 (AEST) 24 September 2011

Hey, can you umm... make the reviews page for me, i'm kind of scared when changing the site such as this. You can leave it red linked if you want, and i'll just add in the stuff. -- Heyoeveryone 30 September 2011

Thank you!!! And you're welcome to write reviews anytime. --Heyoeveryone 2 October 2011

Question on something that could be considered a "nonstory"

Hi, Platypus, do you know how to make a personalized status indicator? I'd like to get rid of the MP stuff and add more stuff on it -Storylover141 17:56 PDT, 25 September 2011

All right. So, I've been plotting this big universe in which my stories occur, and after writing a certain story, I plan on finally writing a really big story that involves characters from all of the stories (and new ones, of course), meeting up and sh- stuff. But, what I had been planning is writing a little bit of a supplementary thing, bridging some of the events of the stories and connecting them before the real fun can begin.

However, this would just be in a diary format, with "forward" and "backwards" options being on pages. Now comes my question - would it be cool if I did that as a separate story, or should I add it in as pages in the Elderpedia (this is my current idea)... I could, of course, do it on another site, but that's the least attractive option. The pages, if added to the Elderpedia would have a title that clearly defines them as part of the Elderpedia, but with a marker like "Elderpedia:BCDiary1" or something similar. Now that I'm ranting, I think it's simpler to end this here. Just wanted to get your opinion on this before going through with it. --TheElderOnes 12:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Shall do, good sir. --TheElderOnes 12:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Unrelated to the above question, but I don't want to clutter your page with headlines - Does this wiki have an IRC chat yet? It seems like it would, and a good amount of other wikis have their own. It'd be a good way for people to ask questions to each other, and could even lead to ideas for new stories. I dunno, I just think that this kind of thing would be interesting and was wondering if we already had one set up or not. --TheElderOnes 07:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Adding here for the same reason stated in my last message here. I saw your discussion with Heyoeveryone, and your ideas on the review page. I thought of a way you could combine them if you want, like the review page being separate like the featured story, as in your first idea, and then once a--TheElderOnes 22:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC) story is reviewed there, you could do a third column link to either the review page or the specific review.

In case it's a bit oddly phrased (Which I'm sure it is), I dicked around for a minute and threw together this to serve as a visual aid. --TheElderOnes 05:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

More spam, dude. Here, here, and here, and the users in question are Andreatsde, Randyjukla and Beatrizwbm. --TheElderOnes 07:33, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

This is just gonna be my little section of the page, hope you don't mind. Anyways, I noticed that we have the {{incomplete}} thing, which generates the "incomplete pages" warning. What I'm wondering is this: Do we have one that would do one for categorization warning, and if we don't, why not? It'd be quite useful, as there's someone getting warned for this very reason almost every day, where as the incomplete thing is maybe once a week or so, it seems. It'd be so easy to just thrown {{categorization}} on a page and have it tell them, and if someone wants to personalize the message or whatever, they could just type it in on their own.

Just, uh... just a thought. --TheElderOnes 01:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah, finally! A template. {{warn1}} shall not go to waste here - that I'm sure of. Also, that O.D.S.T. person below was annoying. Just saying. --TheElderOnes 22:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Wow, I just saw what GreatGrapes or whatever the fuck his name was did in the Recent Changes log. What an immature brat. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't expect him to get himself into some sort of shit when he started claiming stories were parts of other stories and making an "admins" page with his name on it. Also, that was probably the worst attempt at vandalism I've ever seen.

But, hey. Bein' the only admin is a tough job. I guess you're kinda guaranteed to get vandalized/targeted when you've got power like that.

Oh well, such is life on CYOAWiki. --TheElderOnes 03:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey, i'm so sorry that i keep on forgetting to categorize my posts. I'M SO SORRY! i'm new to this site, and i did'n't mean to! i'm so, so, sorry! forgive meeeeee!!!! --TeamJack 1:48, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I promise i will be more careful. If i forget to catagorize a post, i will IMMEDEATELY fix it. --TeamJack 3:27, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

That was accedental! i was rushing out hte door when i was doing that And forgot to change it! i'm fixing it now. --TeamJack 6:41, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

General Disclaimer

Please understand that, well, the General Disclaimer page was indeed not part of a story, it is a legal page. It [most likely] freed this site from liability including slander and defamation. O.D.S.T. - Proin sit amet nisi scientiam nostrum 23:21, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Uncategorised

I've been popping in a few categories for people that forgot and throwing the odd {{warn1}}--~~~~ onto talk pages, and it has just this second dawned on me that I really should've cleared that with you first. My apologies about that. Are you cool with me continuing to do so? JackalRobot 09:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

So, you sent me a message about a status bar... And, I'm not sure what that is. --Krinkel 16:59, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Revert, don't delete

Hi Platypus,

I might be new around here but coming from Wikipedia I'd like to offer some friendly advice: Feel free to revert changes you don't approve of. But do not wholesale delete contributions, especially from newcomers, if you want them to stick around.

Why?

Simple: reverted changes can still be found, edited, and thus - improved upon.

Deleted pages can't be accessed by the newcomer, and thus they are probably lost (the nature of a wiki is such that you aren't really supposed to have to keep private copies of your contributions).


So I have a deal for you, Platypus. If you use your administrative powers to restore the pages of mine you deleted, I promise to work with you in improving the language and correcting the POV issues. Do we have a deal? :)

Cheers, Anedwcan 06:56, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Name Changing?

Hi, I was wondering if you had the ability to change the name of pages or anything? If so... could you change the name of this page to SM:Waiting Room for me please? Thanks, in either case. :) -- Cpt Devonin

Thanks again, and for changing the links on the other 2 pages so they link correctly again. :) -- Cpt Devonin

Couple Questions

Hi Platypus,

Just got couple quick questions for you.

1) For the Pit of Abandoned Stories, what defines "a long while?" A month, two, three? I've been browsing some of the stories and I've found a handful with sub-10 pages and haven't been worked on since September (or later). I was considering moving them to the pit but I wasn't sure if 3 months was long enough, and if regular users like myself are allowed to move stories there.

2) In a similar vein, I notice there are like 6 red links on the main page. It looks like someone went to add a story but then never even bothered to write the first page. I was considering seeing how long some had been sitting there and if it had been a month, or longer, I was just going to remove them. Is that alright with you? Or is a month not long enough?

3) Is there a way to hide pages/keep them from the recent changes? I'm guessing not, but... figured I'd ask. I have another story idea but I'd prefer people not read as I'm writing it and just when I post it when I finish (which shouldn't take too long, I have this one planned out and its' only ~40-50 pages).

Ultimately it probably doesn't matter, though. Someone will probably stumble on it while I'm writing. I just remember seeing something about a way you can mark stories (I thought it was using the 'mark as minor change' button but I still see those in the changes list) to keep them hidden.

Also, if I am bugging you too much, feel free to hit me.

-- Cpt. Devonin

Main Page Adjustments

True enough, I didn't think about the vandals thing.

And to maybe save you some legwork, I moved the following to the Pit:

That is assuming the "last modified" date at the bottom of every page is the date it was last worked on (checked every page in each story to make sure there was nothing more current).

I also removed all the redlinks on the main page from PG-13. My phone can't load the whole main page so I can only edit by section. I'll probably move some more when I find another 10 or so. If you'd rather I not mention anything here just let me know and I'll keep quiet in the future.

-- Cpt. Devonin

How will i know if you created the story?

Is there something that will show up or something? And, I'm sorry that I don't meet the expectations on your stories, and i won't add on to your stories anymore, and you can go ahead and ban me, I won't get on for a while anyway, I have to get my computer screen fixed, my s button fixed, and a bug off my computer. Because of my screen, i can't see most anything i type, but, i deserve what you said, "Do not even try to contribute to any of my stories." So, bye. (By the way, i'm new to this, of course, so, if there are two of what i put down, or it doesn't show up right, go ahead, get pissed off at me) Luigi... I think i finally learned how to do the category thing now -_-

Instructions to remember pages?

I have a question I can't find any discussion of, but since I'm interested in your view on "Smutty" specifically, I'm asking you directly:

What about instructions to "remember" pages? That is, the text gives a link you're supposed to remember (bookmark etc) but not yet visit. Only at some specified later time are you to navigate to the given page.

For example, on this page I'm thinking to give "you" the reader an option to visit the booth babe later. Say in the caveman's cave you reach from the costume shop (or somewhere else several steps later in the story). Instead of duplicating the entire tree of options between now and then just to be able to present that one additional choice at the appropriate time, it would be easier/cleaner to simply instruct the player to copy/bookmark a special link when "you find yourself in a caveman's cave". If read at that time the linked page would pick up the story (and make sense). If read at any other time, it would be meaningless.

Much like in a dead-tree CYOA when you see "You have found the silver key. When you see a silver door, turn to paragraph 123. This choice is not presented in the text at that time. Do not go to this paragraph now, instead continue at..."

If you find this interesting I'll write up the page for you to examine. Just thought to ask first not to waste my effort if you want to keep the story (or the whole site) free of bells and whistles such as that. Anedwcan 20:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Embedding Pictures

Is it OK to embed some random pics from google into a story?

Most of it is fanart (no copyrights) but i m not sure about all of them.

-Zoroastra (P.S. : How do you link to your user talk page?)

Hey Platypus

Thanks for helping me out with my story. I'm kind of new here.

colloquialisms and other speech grammar issues

Hi P,

I have found that you sometimes correct grammar mistakes even within quoted text. What's your policy regarding the "spoken word"? Shouldn't characters in stories be allowed to make grammatical mistakes in speech? I personally find that this can add color to a character or strengthen the description of a particular situation. Cheers, Anedwcan 08:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

My mistake led to a page deletion, please restore

Hi,

I saw you deleted this page and could not understand why.

Then I realized that instead of creating this page I mistakenly used its content to overwrite the preceding page, thus orphaning the page you deleted (as well as another one that you luckily didn't delete).

I have now fixed this, but can't get at the lost/deleted content to finish my corrections myself. Please restore the deleted page (again: it's this one). Thanks. Anedwcan 15:45, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Thx!


New CYOA site

Hi,

Sometime last year the thought struck me "Hey, there has to be an online collaborative CYOA. That would be pretty cool!" Lo and behold, I found this site! (I don't remember my account from back then.) Anyway, I got to thinking, and I figured that there must be a more user friendly way to implement this within the MediaWiki structure. Well, I created Multiple Choice Adventures. Essentially identical to this site, but I think you'll find the interface much more user-friendly. Check out the structure, and let me know what you think. The page creation and edits are all done through forms in which users fill in fields. The Content Rating and Page Count is also automatic. I'm a big fan of what you guys do here, and I love creative writing in general.

If you'd like to be a part of my new site, or perhaps arrange a merger of some sorts, that would something we could talk about.

Cheers,

Alexander

Changing page titles

It seems to be impossible to change a page title as a common user, so I'd like to request permission to change page titles for a week or so since I'd like to edit the way I used parameters in my story The life of a medieval princess, in order to make it easier to navigate trough the story. I won't touch page titles from other stories.

I could also just blank out the pages and create new ones, but I imagine you wouldn't be overjoyed about a few hundred blanked-out pages since they don't delete themselves..

kk, thx. I'll try to hurry adjusting my story in case some idiot decides to change your mind ^^.
