Moderator Rank
I noticed you got Moderator rank, any idea on how I could possibly apply for it? --User:WILSON2bGg
 * Please ask Andy, though I think it's unlikely you'll get it for now. X010 (talk) 20:44, 17 March 2019 (GMT)
 * Why do you think it would be unlikely for me? --WILSON2bGg
 * probably not specific to you, just in general --[[Image:neptuneflag.png|14px]] Dans34 Talkundefined 20:47, 17 March 2019 (GMT)

Moving
Hello X010, I need to ask if normal users like me can redirect the page. And if I can, where can I find the option? --ToMi (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2019 (BST)


 * Anyone can redirect a page. Just replace the current content with . X010 (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2019 (BST)


 * OK, thanks very much.--ToMi (talk) 18:33, 4 April 2019 (BST)

Deleting
Hello X010, I need to ask if normal users like me can delete the page? --ToMi (talk) 19:29, 10 April 2019 (BST)
 * Hi, unfortunately you cannot delete pages at this time, but you can tag one for deletion using the template . X010 (talk) 19:11, 11 April 2019 (BST)

Moving pages to new namescheme
I have started moving pages to the new  name system. I want to try to move them without a redirect, so can you possibly make me a mover? --SebOno (Let's have a talk!) (Sandbox) et'sLay xpandeay hetay etaArchiveBay ikiway! 15:01, 13 April 2019 (BST)

If done, leave the ✅ template above this message. If not done, please state why.
 * ✅. The Mover right also allows you to delete pages, which you can use to delete the redirects you created previously. X010 (talk) 16:17, 13 April 2019 (BST)
 * Wow, thanks! I am enjoying editing this wiki and having the mover right. Once again, thank you! --SebOno (Let's have a talk!) (Sandbox) et'sLay xpandeay hetay etaArchiveBay ikiway! 15:10, 16 April 2019 (BST)

mover and uploader
I want to move pages into new naming scheme. Also can you upload this pciture as Placeholder.png ? Thanks.--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 17:16, 17 April 2019 (BST)


 * Not done for both. The BetaArchive logo (Mainpagetempimage2.png) should be fine for placeholder images (a similar placeholder file was deleted for this reason). As for the mover right, you were automatically autoconfirmed today, and hence you can upload files and move pages (with a redirect). I'd like to see some experience moving pages under a redirect before giving the mover right to you. X010 (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2019 (BST)
 * Mainpagetempimage2.png looks ugly to me.--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 07:40, 18 April 2019 (BST)
 * Why? Is it due to the low resolution? X010 (talk) 09:49, 18 April 2019 (BST)
 * yes.--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 09:43, 19 April 2019 (BST)
 * Well, it seems that we don't have a better quality image of the BA logo. Not sure which is better -   - what are your thoughts on which image to use? X010 (talk) 15:16, 19 April 2019 (BST)
 * I suggest we stick with the current one. MCpillager's one looks too much like the BetaWiki one. --SebOno (Let's have a talk!) (Sandbox) et'sLay xpandeay hetay etaArchiveBay ikiway! 15:19, 19 April 2019 (BST)
 * It looks too much like the BetaWiki one because it is ripped straight from BetaWiki (see the link). In my opinion, the old placeholder image is probably the best we have for now, but really anything with a transparent background would work. The best idea would probably be to do something based on the wiki logo. --Mibrab (talk) 22:41, 19 April 2019 (BST)

Thank you - Mover group
Thank you very much, X010. --ToMi (talk) 10 April 2019, 11:12 (BST)

Community portal
Can you add the Community portal to the navigation bar?--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 17:08, 26 April 2019 (BST)
 * ✅ to the existing area in the wiki. While I liked your idea, the design does look like one which has been taken straight from BetaWiki and hence will require some community input. X010 (talk) 17:15, 26 April 2019 (BST)

Applegame12345
Can you make him a mover? I've seen his contribs on BetaWiki and they are good.--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 12:37, 27 April 2019 (BST)
 * ❌ No, he needs to wait one week and have ten edits to be able to move pages in the first place. This is not something that I can override. X010 (talk) 13:19, 27 April 2019 (BST)

Why
Give me a reason why you deleted my page it’s a nice idea Wwepro126 (talk) 21:47, 29 April 2019 (BST)
 * Please see my response here. X010 (talk) 22:03, 29 April 2019 (BST)

Mover
Can I have mover rights?--MCpillager - remember, a build list is just a lot of numbers. 10:33, 1 May 2019 (BST)
 * ❌ I have no issues with you as a contributor. However, there are some issues with you that make me hesitate, personally, from giving you the right. For instance, you should not have archived the last conversation on your talk page. Please try again after gaining some more experience. (You may also contact a bureaucrat instead) X010 (talk) 22:15, 1 May 2019 (BST)

Importing
Can you import the Box template from MediaWiki?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 09:28, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * ✅ Imported to Template:Box. X010 (talk) 09:31, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * THX a lot, ill be changing a lot of templates to use this template.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 09:32, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * Wait, why would you need to change the existing templates to use this one? X010 (talk) 09:33, 3 May 2019 (BST)

Template:Dispute
something like this may happen.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 09:42, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * I think considering all that is too early for that right now (we are still tiny!), and currently the correct thing would be to simply discuss it on the file talk page and leave a small note on the file description page. X010 (talk) 09:45, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * Not sure how someone faking a 1080p screen of Win 1.04 is a dispute. --LilShootDawg (talk) 11:05, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * Still, its not possible to get such a high resolution in a very early windows.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 12:00, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * Why did you add the templates again? We haven't received consensus on that. Also, what does your previous comment have to do with this topic? X010 (talk) 13:08, 3 May 2019 (BST)

Import
Hello X010, can you import the Ambox from MediaWiki please? ToMi (talk) 17:32, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * ✅ Imported as Template:Bmbox from wikibooks:Template:Bmbox and not Mediawiki due to the latter's complexity. A bit of cleanup work might be needed (in particular, you should upload the images manually), and also take care of Template:Bmbox/core, which does most of the hard work. Please let me know if there are any issues. X010 (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2019 (BST)
 * OK, thanks very much. ToMi (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2019 (BST)

Copy Everything from beta wiki
Copy everything from beta wiki and we. Are not tiny anymore and is had to be 1 that’s ok Wwepro126 (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2019 (BST)
 * What are you trying to tell me? We are not BetaWiki and Wikipedia and this site is not a mirror repository either. X010 (talk) 21:43, 5 May 2019 (BST)
 * See Template:Dispute That from beta wiki Wwepro126 (talk)
 * That template has been deleted twice previously for the same reason. X010 (talk) 21:46, 5 May 2019 (BST) Everyone this post is officially closed

Forget about this post you do your admin things I do my expert things ok 🤝 Wwepro126 (talk)
 * If you are an expert at copying stuff from other websites, then you seem to be really great at your job. --AlphaBeta (talk) 22:15, 5 May 2019 (BST)

Template:Cite book
It is from Wikipedia, please import it.

''Offtopic: Please do not add VisualEditor! I've used it on Fandom before, and most mobile browsers do not support it.'' --MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 07:25, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * Why do we need that template? Wouldn't the usual  tags do?
 * (Aside: VisualEditor is not on the wiki due to its complexity in installing. But I personally like it, and if I'm right, mobile browsers will use a different editor anyway.) X010 (talk) 10:17, 6 May 2019 (BST)

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANY OF THIS IMPORT VISUALEDITER CHANGE THE RULES COPY EVERYTHING FROM WIKIPEDIA/BETAWIKI Wwepro126 (talk) 12:13, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * I can't understand what you are saying. But a block might be next in order if you continue disrupting conversations with this nonsense. I've clearly told you before, we are not a repository and hence I won't accept blatant copypasting from any source. X010 (talk) 12:20, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * Please block him. I feel like that this is sonicridersuser again.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 12:40, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * EDIT: He meant to say that you are not allowed to import this template. Along with telling you to import VisualEditor, change the rules, and copy everything from WikiPedia/BetaWiki.
 * I know that, but why is he telling all this nonsense? Also, I don't know "sonicrideruser". X010 (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * Idk, but here is some info about sonicridersuser . --MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 16:30, 6 May 2019 (BST)

Can you import Warning from mediawiki please Wwepro126 (talk) 17:48, 6 May 2019 (BST)
 * Why? Where do you plan to use that template? X010 (talk) 17:54, 6 May 2019 (BST)

You should do this : ✅ Not : ❌
 * That's enough. X010 (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2019 (BST)

Page
Is this page eligible for moving to main namespace? It is still WIP tho.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 07:52, 7 May 2019 (BST)
 * Yes, there is some substantial content in it. Even though it's still work in progress, that's fine. X010 (talk) 10:21, 7 May 2019 (BST)

Feature request
Can you make the names of blocked users striked through and be in italic? As shown in this picture?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 09:45, 8 May 2019 (BST)
 * It should be possible, but that would require additional customisation (i.e, it's not straightforward). I might think about it later. X010 (talk) 10:04, 8 May 2019 (BST)

Main page
Hello X010, you can fix the IBM:OS/2 link to OS/2 in the Main page, please? Thank you. --ToMi (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2019 (BST)
 * Thanks for fix. --ToMi (talk) 13:53, 9 May 2019 (BST)
 * ✅. But you can actually do it yourself; the main page templates (where the content is transcluded) is only semi-protected (which you can edit); it's Template:Main Page/Categories in this case. X010 (talk) 13:55, 9 May 2019 (BST)
 * Yes, thanks --ToMi (talk) 13:57, 9 May 2019 (BST)

MCpillager the real
This guy is insulting Me, can you protect my pages and ban him?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 13:42, 9 May 2019 (BST)
 * THX a lot, can you please protect my user pages?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 13:47, 9 May 2019 (BST)
 * EDIT: Also disable his talk page previlages, he started spàmmíng me.
 * ❌ It was a one-off incident. I'll consider protecting your userpages only if there is evidence of continuous abuse, and I've revoked his talk page access. But do not make assumptions on who the abuser is; we have CheckUser here and are trying to find out. X010 (talk) 13:55, 9 May 2019 (BST)

Arkan9 IS "MCpillager the real"
Sorry, but its true. --MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 12:28, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * You cannot make assumptions without technical proof. If you have further evidence, please submit it through a PM on the forum rather than public on the wiki. X010 (talk) 12:30, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * First, do you have any actual proof for your claims? As X010 said above, you can't just make assumptions like this because they used the same swear word. Hint: millions of people use the word dipshit worldwide. Second, considering this is more of a BetaWiki matter, I am not really sure why do you bring this up with a BetaArchive Wiki administrator, who can't really do anything with this gossip, instead of contacting either me or ovctvct. You don't report your car's theft to a fire fighter, do you? --AlphaBeta (talk) 12:49, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * You know what? (I don't use Discord)--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 12:51, 11 May 2019 (BST)
 * What should I do with that? Use forum PM instead if you really need to... X010 (talk) 14:35, 11 May 2019 (BST)

"BuildList"
Hello, I want to ask if these templates: 1, 2, 3 would fit into buildlists on pages Windows. --ToMi (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * That would be of use only if we keep track of dubious or fake builds, which we don't. X010 (talk) 13:51, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * OK, thanks --ToMi (talk) 13:54, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * Bonus: This is the preview of the Windows 1.0 page --ToMi (talk) 14:05, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * Why don't we keep track of fake builds?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 14:49, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * The official guidance I have received from mrpijey says that we should only cover builds which are known to exist (also see the Wiki Guidelines), and fakes can only be covered under some conditions. It was not my decision to do this. X010 (talk) 15:53, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * Guys, seriously, if you want to make the BA wiki look like BetaWiki, why not just edit BetaWiki instead? --AlphaBeta (talk) 15:56, 10 May 2019 (BST)

Can you import and  from BetaWiki?--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 17:18, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * Can we get it from Wikimedia Commons instead? That could be a better option instead. X010 (talk) 17:20, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * I have checked Wikimedia Commons, and they are there.--MCpillager - 2147483648 bytéß øf dãtâ 17:23, 10 May 2019 (BST)
 * ✅ Imported as Template:Talkarchive and Template:Archive box. You should now revert both to a suitable revision (the newer ones are unsuitable), and import the images as required. X010 (talk) 20:55, 10 May 2019 (BST)

 * , look I could be thinking differently, make some effort to help instead of needlessly talking nonsense. I also urge you to show some respect instead of using language such as "dumbo". X010 (talk) 09:20, 21 May 2020 (BST)

Unas cuantas preguntas (Some questions)
Please translate this message from spanish to english because I'm from Peru.

Estimado X010, tengo unas cuantas preguntas sobre BetaArchivo (BetaArchive)

1. ¿Porque en el foro BetaArchive se prohibe la distribución de activadores, cracks o Torrents ilegales, si se supone que los Betas expiran y no tiene sentido que BetaArchive trate de Betas si no dejan que los usen actualmente por que USTEDES prohiben los activadores?

2. ¿Qué sucede si pongo en un idioma que no sea inglés o podrían crear una versión para cada idioma?

Gracias y saludos

 * Hi, I don't speak Spanish, but here are your answers:

For Q1 from the admin "My reply would be that these are our rules and we don't allow them any tools circumventing protections or personal licenses. Our purpose is to provide the media, not to allow you to run outdated and use outdated software with pirated licenses. we provide the software and preserve the artwork. But we don't distribute any licenses or tools to bypass them." For Q2, no, this is an English language wiki. X010 (talk) 20:21, 28 May 2020 (BST)

Import request
Hi, I have a question if we can import this template: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Disambiguation. ToMi1 (talk | contribs) 18:22, 27 July 2020 (BST)
 * I looked at one of your "disambiguation" pages, and have to question whether that's really needed. Because we don't have a lot of articles to begin with, and I personally do not see the need to make things complicated. X010 (talk) 19:39, 27 July 2020 (BST)

Importing
Hello, I'm not copy-pasting from Wikipedia. Some years ago I personally wrote most of article "Sviluppo di Windows Vista" on the Italian Wikipedia (please check the history if you want). Now I want to remove some information because the article is too long and includes too many details; I think the article should be cleaner. Before removing those parts of text from Wikipedia, I would like to transfer them to this wiki, so that the information are not lost; I'm also translating from Italian to English.--CassiodoroVicinetti (talk) 13:17, 21 September 2020 (BST)
 * Thanks for the clarification. This is acceptable, however do be explicit that you wrote the article so that I can understand that it's your work. (the problem is that we do have users that try to copy from BetaWiki and other such sites without realising that attribution is required). BTW: which username did you use on it.wikipedia? X010 (talk) 13:20, 21 September 2020 (BST)
 * want to draw your attention to this. Don't remove any of his material without first explicitly checking with me. X010 (talk) 13:21, 21 September 2020 (BST)
 * Sorry, my username on Wikipedia is "Luca Ghio". OK, I'll be explicit that I wrote the article. Thank you.--CassiodoroVicinetti (talk) 13:27, 21 September 2020 (BST)

Copy-pasting from Wikipedia as a starting point
Hello. I would like to copy-paste the contents of the Wikipedia article on WinFS to this wiki's version. The Wikipedia article says at the bottom, "Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply." I assume therefore that a full-copy paste is permissible, with an acknowledgment that the text was forked from Wikipedia as of the date of forking. But would like to know your thoughts first. Thank you. - Emir214 (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2021 (GMT)
 * It is definitely allowed, however, this is normally achieved by importing the article from Wikipedia, which I can do for you if you want. X010 (talk) 07:15, 12 March 2021 (GMT)
 * Yes, please do. Thank you very much. - Emir214 (talk) 23:02, 14 March 2021 (GMT)
 * ✅, it's at User:Emir214/WinFS, where you can improve the article and then move it back into where it should be. For images, you can directly upload them yourself (attributing the source, that is, where you got it from). X010 (talk) 07:28, 15 March 2021 (GMT)
 * Thank you very much. - Emir214 (talk) 10:56, 15 March 2021 (GMT)

Reporting Wiki glitches
Hello. The wiki seems to be using the Monobook design by default, instead of Vector. Also, Template:Citation/core, which I copied from Wikipedia for use in User:Emir214/WinFS. is showing code which should not be visible in the template page. - Emir214 (talk) 11:22, 21 March 2021 (GMT)
 * This is temporary, we're upgrading the wiki. X010 (talk) 11:28, 21 March 2021 (GMT)
 * The Template issue should be fixed, the rest will be done in a short while. X010 (talk) 11:49, 21 March 2021 (GMT)
 * Should be fixed, let me know if there are any more issues in the wiki. P.S: for the record, during the upgrade, we switched to the Vector skin (not Monobook as you mentioned). The default forum skin is actually Chameleon. X010 (talk) 19:42, 21 March 2021 (GMT)
 * Thanks, everything is working fine now. - Emir214 (talk) 11:11, 23 March 2021 (GMT)

Citation needed template
Hello, can the citation needed template be added? I understood that it already comes with MediaWiki, but I can't seem to use it. -- ATeamInc (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2021 (BST)
 * ✅ It actually does not come with MediaWiki as you mention; it's just a template that needed to be imported from English Wikipedia. See Template:Citation needed. X010 (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2021 (BST)
 * Oh, okay thanks a lot. ATeamInc (talk) 10:54, 2 May 2021 (BST)
 * @X010 something has changed with the template. It's rendering text after it as code. ATeamInc (talk) 12:54, 2 May 2021 (BST)
 * This should be fixed now. X010 (talk) 13:35, 2 May 2021 (BST)
 * Thanks, it's working now.

Special:Upload using Source URL from BA not working
Hello. I tried uploading a file by using "Source URL", pasting the address https://www.betaarchive.com/imageupload/2017-12/1514188900.or.77027.PNG from this thread. It leads to the following errors:

Error fetching URL: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate There was a problem during the HTTP request: 0 Error Emir214 (talk) 23:59, 29 May 2021 (BST)
 * This is a known bug - currently the URL upload works only for HTTP sites (that is, insecure). You'll have to manually download/upload for now; I'll let you know if we manage to fix this. X010 (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2021 (BST)
 * @Emir214 That bug has been fixed - try again. X010 (talk) 18:59, 8 June 2021 (BST)
 * It works now. Thanks. - Emir214 (talk) 10:18, 8 April 2022 (BST)

Admin request
Can I please become an admin on this wiki? I made the good edits and contributing really well.

Just checking... Bubblebeam (will be renamed to Uncle Captain on May 16) (talk) 02:47, 7 January 2022 (GMT)
 * Hi, no, because I don't think you have the experience required to become one. You aren't even an helper after all. If there is something you want to do that is only available as part of admin, let me know what that is. X010 (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2022 (GMT)

User name rename request
Can you please rename me from “Bubblebeam” to “Uncle Captain” on BetaArchive Wiki and BetaArchive? Because I am starting to not like my current one anymore. Thanks. Bubblebeam (will be renamed to Uncle Captain on May 16) (talk) 22:34, 24 April 2022 (BST)
 * I can't. The reason is that forum policy prohibits changing usernames (otherwise I would have changed mine a long time back!), unless Andy or mrpijey decides to give an exemption, which is extremely rare from my experience. X010 (talk) 10:39, 25 April 2022 (BST)

#dateformat: template
I understand that undefined is supposed to standardize dates. I saw it in use here. Should we adopt undefined for the whole wiki? - Emir214 (talk) 03:48, 8 May 2022 (BST)
 * I wasn't aware of this before - and it's a magic word (and not a template). Personally, I don't mind if you use it for the whole wiki, but don't think it's high-priority either. X010 (talk) 08:35, 9 May 2022 (BST)
