Cutting the toolbar in half
It's been discussed. Requesting for the bottom half of User:Xbony2/common.css (the stuff under the commented out part) to be merged with the common CSS. It's a bit more than copy-paste if you do it right, but I think you can figure it out. -Xbony2 (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, I don't really like how this looks. Rather than a huge toolbar it's a cramped toolbar. Neither really look very good imo :| --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 21:07, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That's how I felt too at first, but try using it for a while. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * After using it for a month, how do you feel? Thinking of it as cramped makes sense for an initial reaction because of the scale change, but is about the same size as Wikipedia's and other wiki's. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I want the logo in the corner to be larger, like it is on other wikis. My current CSS does that but it has a red line through the middle which is ugly. The bar itself is fine. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't think I should be able to edit this page as an anonymous user. I was just clicking around from Foundry's wiki page.
 * - no, you have every right to. Anyone can request and discuss stuff. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Spritesheet extension missing
The spritesheet extension we were using disappeared. To be honest I'd rather use multiple images than it anyway, since it's only used on Turbine (Advanced Generators); it doesn't have much of a benefit if any benefit at all, but it should be reinstalled or Turbine (Advanced Generators) should be fixed. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, since nobody cares, I'm probably going to split it up if nobody says anything. -Xbony2 (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Get in contact with Scott first. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:17, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Codewarrior0‎ for editor
(and also bump to the notice above this) -Xbony2 (talk) 11:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Please provide a U when doing this sort of thing. 15:18, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome! --Codewarrior0 (talk) 00:55, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Sokratis' wikipoints balance
On Special:WikiPoints- take away 21701 from "Sokratis12GR330661", and add 21701 to "Sokratis12GR". He had his account broken a while ago. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I am unable to remove wikipoints from the former. It is as if that account doesn't exist. 17:43, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can request the deletion of the account after adding the 21701 points to sokratis? Indestructible Pharaoh VII  19:46, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It is a deleted account. Although according to Special:WikiPointsAdmin, "It is not possible to manually award negative points. To remove points, check the box in the "Rev" column next to the points you wish to revoke and press "Save revocation"". -Xbony2 (talk) 23:02, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing is displayed on that page for Sokratis12GR330661 so I can't revoke anything from it. 23:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I guess we should poke curse. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:47, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Latin
Add Latin to Module:Language/Names (la, Latin, Lingua latīna) -Xbony2 (talk) 12:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Does anyone even speak latin as their primary language? 12:38, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd imagine there's one or two edge cases, but pretty much nobody does. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:36, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No one speaks lojban as their primary language but we still have that. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 02:41, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Xbony2 for Administrator
Hello, I'm Xbony2. I could make a block of text talking about myself, but in reality if you don't know who I am and what I've done here you are probably ineligible to vote.

If you have any questions or statements you'd like to ask or state, feel free to get them out before voting. As per usual convention voting ends in 7 days.

One thing I think might come up- as an administrator of this wiki, I promise to do my best to not perform large-scale actions without prior discussion. I know I've been somewhat known for being a bit too bold at a few times in the past, and I am regretful about that, but I'll try to be good. It's worth noting I don't consider all administrational actions to be considered large-scale actions; adding a language to Module:Language/Names? Not large scale. Modifying the sidebar? Large-scale. You get the idea.

Like I said, this vote will [hopefully] end on December 31st, which is also when the 2016-2017 Marathon will start for anybody participating (unless somebody is aiming to edit for over a day, but that's unlikely). No coincidence :P

Neutral/Abstain

 * - Is a good guy, makes and helps alot, and donates the wiki a lot of free time ... but I have no idea about the requirements, rights and obligations for this position. If the other admins say that he is suitable for the position, then I support him. --LuminousLizard FTB Wiki Staff de-N / "en-2" (talk) 17:35, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I really wish we'd gotten the group overhaul stuff done already, but alas. Now if xbony2 were to push my group overhaul stuff through, then I'd totes support him for admin. 20:50, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I think I was going to make a comment about the group overhaul stuff but I forgot to- I'd encourage you guys to vote disregarding it. Ultimately it doesn't look like the role of administrator will be affected much if at all. Speaking of group overhauls, I've been playing around with a counter-counter-counter proposal for it in my head, but that's another story. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
