Welcome
Hi, welcome to Grimm Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Marie Kessler page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Gaarmyvet (Talk) 15:44, 13 November 2011

Welcome! That's without the automation.-- 16:02, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha, thanks! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia Administrator 16:08, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Galleries
There CAN be so many images that they overwhelm a page. I was thinking of moving the image galleries to a sub page. Access would be through a link in the infobox. Good/bad/indifferent?-- 21:21, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's that big of a deal with lots of images on a page, as long as it's a gallery at the bottom of the page. But putting the excessive amounts on a tab would be fine with me. It doesn't really matter either way. You're the admin here! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia Administrator 00:24, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Schedule
Looks like we won't see Grimm again until December 9 at the earliest. Per IMDb, "marathon" on November 22 on SyFy.-- 03:53, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a bunch of my shows seem to be having some long breaks. One of them said it wouldn't be back until January! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia Administrator 09:59, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
It seems to take a while for it to show up on your profile. Congrats!-- 02:48, November 23, 2011 (UTC) Thanks, Jim! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia Administrator 12:03, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Moving
See User:Kate.moon's blog. They're moving the show to Thursday against Grey's Anatomy. Hmm.-- 02:56, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know if that's going to be a good thing or not.... - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia Administrator 12:05, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Two episodes, one on Thursday, one on Friday, per NBC. See Grimm Wiki.-- 19:08, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Page Menu
Test of new template on Three Bad Wolves. I'm undecided, particularly about getting involved in theories. There doesn't seem to have been any great drive to create them so far. Opinion welcome.-- 20:20, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not bad. I think I prefer the current template though. I don't think we need anything for theories here, yet. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 23:54, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. A second set of eyeballs is always helpful.-- 01:17, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Alcatraz
If you're interested, there's -- wait for it -- a wiki: w:c:alcatraz:Alcatrazpedia! Funny how these thing keep showing up. By the time the show starts, we should be through with Terra Nova, probably for good.-- 01:24, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope not, but more than likely (on Terra Nova). Yeah, Alcatraz looks like it may be good. But more than likely it will be canceled too. Seems like most of the shows I like get canceled.  I can think of two shows I liked a lot in the somewhat recent past that have/had good runs...House and Lost.  Other favorites...Chuck, last season; Fringe, probably will be canceled; Terra Nova, probably will be canceled; Journeyman, canceled; Heroes, canceled; The Event, canceled... - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 02:56, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Stubs
I took the stub flag off most of the cast pages. Unless we get someone who really loves to track those, having them flagged won't get us anywhere. Ten o'clock approaches...-- 01:37, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, that's fine. Not sure if I can stay awake that long...getting tired! May have to watch it on the DVR! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 02:06, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

Fan Fiction
User blog:Theory of everything/The Grimm Trilogy: Part One "Grimm Past"

Any thoughts?-- 15:58, December 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Pretty good, but not sure why a Hexenbiest would have called a Grimm to take out a Mellifer. Why wouldn't the Hexenbiests kill the Mellifer themselves? They wouldn't want to risk being exposed as a group of Hexenbiests. Not sure why they use so many exclamation points either!  That was annoying!  The story was pretty good though. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 17:46, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could have used an editor or "first reader." My first thought was to say, "Not here," but if it keeps people showing up and stays in the blogs... -- 19:25, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's perfectly fine in the blogs, yeah. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 22:56, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Synopse
If I knew what a Synopses was, I would try and help you. If you explain it, I will do my best to help --Frederick

Grimms and Creatures
I think the producers are trying to feed us tidbits about the background for the current stories. (I wouldn't mind seeing Marie with hair and Nick's parents and maybe even the original Brothers.) Anyway, I added the little "three stooges" act with Bud, Roscoe and Irv as "Grimms and Creatures" in. If you have a better name for it, please change it. If it feels right, the idea will probably fit into the 104 and 105 synopses as well.-- 02:56, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I prefer showing the synopsis events in chronological order, but that's fine. And I agree on what they're trying to do. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 13:21, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Numbers
Hey, I have started to try and make a wiki for the tv show Numb3rs, http://numb3rs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, and do you have any advice? I have to start it from the ground up and build a community from nothing. --Frederick (Talk) {Twitter}
 * Well, Numb3rs already has a wiki started on Wikia, here: http://numb3ers.wikia.com
 * Unfortunately, it needs a lot of work, and corrections. The URL itself is wrong, as they have a "3" AND an "e" in it...makes no sense.  Also, when you look there, it says "Numb3rsepdia" at the top, instead of "Numb3rspedia"...the "p" and the "e" are transposed.  I think you may want to check with Wikia staff and try to become the Bureaucrat of that, and fixing it, instead of making a duplicate wiki.  Or if you don't want to do that, I'd at least let Wikia staff know about the shortcomings of that other wiki and that it should be removed from Wikia.  Then get all your templates and policies in place before doing all the articles. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 13:25, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for finding that wiki! I knew their had to be one but I couldn't find it. I think I will stick to the one I am at because it has the URL I want. I am already in the process of getting the theme for the one I'm at changed. It should look like this once it is:

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111223204356/kingfredrickvia/images/thumb/2/2b/Capture20.PNG/640px-Capture20.PNG

Thanks for the help.

 * OK. I think you should still notify Wikia Staff of the duplicate Wiki, as they might not like there being two.  You don't want to get yours removed later after putting a lot of work into it. I'm sure you don't want to lose a lot of time and effort. Hope it all works out well! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 19:49, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll add my own recommendation to that. Wikia asked me to take over the Alcatraz wiki (NOT the Alcatrazpedia); I did.  I hadn't done all that much, but one day I tried to go the main page and it was gone.  Wikia picked the other wiki over the one I was working on.  That was actually a good choice, but it was still a surprise.-- 20:11, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Jim. The reason is now even more validated for you to check with Wikia Staff, KingFredrick. I'm sure they don't want two Wikis on the same thing. Maybe you can ask them if you can work with the admins of the other Wiki to combine the content into a more complete single Wiki, before deleting one of them and all the work that was done for either. Good luck! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 21:51, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've read somewhere that they were supporting duplicate wiki's, but the article was years old... --Frederick (Talk) {Twitter}

Seasonal Characters
There's an editor on Wikipedia who's predicted the Grimm will end after one season. I'm a little more optimistic, so I've been experimenting with a method of categorizing by season. You may have noticed that Sylvie Oster and Nick Burkhardt were briefly "Season One Characters." The tool is a line in Template:Infobox character that causes the season appearance to show up if ANY entry is made in "|season1  =." If we actually get to season 2, I can add another line to support that. "|series  =" is also an option. All the "subcategories" would become part of "Category:Characters" I don't know if what I'm trying is the right answer, but things are slow right now. As always, comments welcome.-- 02:33, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see any problem with that. And from all of what I've read, the chances are higher of Grimm being renewed than not.  Thanks! - RaptorWiki (Ryan) - Pixar Wikia/Terra Nova Wikia/Grimm Wikia Administrator 18:23, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

re schneetmacher
Hi there; I noticed you undid several of my revisions from last night; the "Schneetmacher" are the evil creatures (not a particular species, just evil creatures in general). I found this information on NBC's "German Dictionary"-- one of the few useful things they have in there that we don't already have. They also have indicated there the creatures are called "Wesen" rather than creatures, hence my proposal at Category talk:Creatures. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 13:57, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not all creatures are evil. We don't yet have evidence of evilness on the part of Eisbibers or, except for Marty (an aberration), Mauzhertz.-- 14:06, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's why I only categorized the ones we know to be bent on killing Nick. And as far as I can tell, Bud wants Nick dead but is too scared to do anything. But I'd be fine either way on him. He's not dangerous like the other ones, at least not in the same sense. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 14:33, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, please provide a link to these terms, since they haven't been mentioned in the show. Then we can decide how to reorganize Categories if we have to. Thanks. - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 18:03, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Links are provided at Category talk:Creatures; let's continue the discussion there. 75.16.235.63 18:07, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Captain Sean Renard
Did you see any ref to Renard's first name? IMDb's carrying him as Sean.-- 21:49, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I haven't seen or heard that anywhere.... - RaptorWiki (Ryan) 21:04, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Categories on Alcatraz
I decided to write this here because I don't want to start a flame war with "Obi Dan." Once upon a time, we could have exchanged emails shielded by Wikia, but that capability is apparently gone forever (product "improvement"). I think most of the extra categories are generated by that "Image" template. It was (is?) an icon on Lostpedia. It's neat, but its use ain't exactly intuitive to the casual editor/uploader. I used it, btw, on FlashForward, but I don't think anyone else did. The short answer to all of this is that as long as the bureaucrat is as "hands on" as he is, I don't think any of it will change much. I did clean up a couple of things, like the "Co-producer" category with a population of one, but I think we're stuck with most of the categories.-- 22:17, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
