Hey, you probably get this all the time, but how does one go about becoming an admin? I realize I am new to this Wiki, but I have played every single Viva Pinata, captured every kind of pinata, and gotten all achievements for the first two-September 12, 2008
  
Perhaps we should include if a pinata is flying, can climb up trees, swim, etc on their pages? Sorry if this is the wrong place to suggest such a thing :P [[User:Terance|Terance]] 17:11, 10 December 2006 (EST)

I just wanted to make a general comment. This place rules. I saw that picture last night of the twin value at like 4am. I find it amazing how quickly new info from all over the web gets added/proven/dissproven from the members here. YOU GUYS ROCK. :) -LordRavenBlack

This is the only wiki I've ever been apart of and I don't know much about them, but is there any way you can make it so that when you're looking up info for TiP,you don't get sent to the Classic tab automatically when browsing Pinata? I guess a simple way to solve this problem would be to pay more attention when looking up info, but it'd be great if you could add something that keeps us locked in only on TiP info. Either way, I'd like a response. Thanks! --[[User:T3HPK|T3HPK]] 10:40, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

AWB

You think AWB would work here?

The wiki must support the Bot API required by AWB. This means that it should have latest HEAD version of MediaWiki or something close to that. [1]

xenocidic (talk) 16:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

what about seperate namespaces?

  • VP = VP:Mousezilla (Common content that may be transcluded onto any or all of the other pages - i.e. description of species)

The main page, being Mousezilla now uses the same layout it does now but transcludes the content from each of the namespaces.

With some CSS settings for the namespaces it should make things a lot easier.

it will also allow people to focus on their particular platform(s) by only seeing the changes on their watchlist for the platforms they are interested in.

let me know what you guys think. –xenocidic (talk) 23:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I think it's important to keep in mind that VP gamers might not understand those nuances, and if contributors don't know how to edit transcluded content, that's quite the problem.

Admin

Hey, you probably get this all the time, but how does one go about becoming an admin? I realize I am new to this Wiki, but I have played every single Viva Pinata, captured every kind of pinata, and gotten all achievements for the first two.

Differentiating between Classic and TiP...

This is the only wiki I've ever been apart of and I don't know much about them, but is there any way you can make it so that when you're looking up info for TiP,you don't get sent to the Classic tab automatically when browsing Pinata? I guess a simple way to solve this problem would be to pay more attention when looking up info, but it'd be great if you could add something that keeps us locked in only on TiP info. Either way, I'd like a response. Thanks! --T3HPK 10:40, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Where Can I Get All the Episodes?

Hello All: This may seem like a dumb question but, how does one go about obtaining all of these episodes for the DVD or at least so my kids could maybe watch them on the computer? I own the 2 DVD's that I could find but they only contain what, 4 episodes each or so? I have funds and my kids would love, love, love for me to purchase these shows from someone! Anyone with any ideas? Your comments and or advice would be so very, totally, and greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, Annie --04/01/2011
