'''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is a popular series of video games by [[Wikipedia:SEGA|SEGA]], created in 1991 and starring a blue [[hedgehog]] called [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] embroiled in constant battles against his nemesis/rival, Dr. Ivo Robotnik (also known as '''Eggman''').

There have also been several spin-off cartoons and comics. Sonic is heavily popular in the furry fandom, although his friends, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] the two-tailed [[fox]] as well as some of the other characters, are often more popular than Sonic himself. There is a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series begun by Archie Comics that features characters like [[Sally Acorn]], Bunnie Rabbot, Antoine D'Coolette, Rotor J. Walrus, Dulcy the Dragon, [[Rouge|Rouge the Bat]], [[Cream|Cream the Rabbit]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Silver|Silver the Hedgehog]] and many others, all of whom tend to be as popular, if not more than Sonic.
Note that some of the characters appear or don't appear in all the various Sonic forms of media.

==Most notable games==

Sonic the Hedgehog is the game that began the series on the Genesis (the Mega Drive outside North America) and was followed up by two direct sequels, each introducing a number of new characters and enemies. A spin-off was released for the Sega CD (also known as the Mega CD outside of North America) called Sonic CD which introduced time travel and prerecorded CD music as major features.

The first Sonic game with 3D graphics and gameplay was Sonic R, which was released in 1996 for PC and the Sega Saturn, although the Special Stages of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic CD featured 3D movement before that. The first fully 3D traditional platformer game in the series was Sonic Adventure in 1998 for the Sega Dreamcast which got a sequel of its own called Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001.

The Sonic Advance series was the first old-style 2D platformer for a while, and it was released for the Game Boy Advance in 3 instalments: the first in 2001, the second in 2002 and the third in 2004. Sonic The Hedgehog was the title of a 2006 game, known to many people as Sonic '06, which was critically slammed for having a strange story, numerous bugs and glitches and almost being unfinished. Sega achieved much more success with Sonic and the Secret Rings, the first in the Sonic Storybook Series in 2007.

Sonic Unleashed followed in 2008 and had an feature of Sonic being transforming into a [[werewolf]]-like creature know as a "werehog" at night. The second and final game in the Sonic Storybook Series was Sonic and the Black Knight in 2009, an open world game with swordfighting gameplay.
2010 saw the release of Sonic Colors (called Sonic Colours in British English) which is widely regarded as one of, if not the best 3D Sonic game. Sonic Generations was released in 2011 and was the first game to feature Classic Sonic, who was Sonic's original design, and his past self. They soon after released both parts of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (Sonic 4 Episode 1 & 2), which was made as a direct sequel to the first four Sonic games, and the return of the 2D gameplay from Sonic Advance.

The mid-2010s saw a Sonic redesign (part of the series "Sonic Boom"), giving him a scarf and extra spikes. The redesign was received poorly, and was not helped by the negative critical reception of the games it was featured in. Sega returned Sonic to his original design shortly after.
Soon afterward, in 2015, Sonic Lost World was released for the PC, and Sega created a mobile game called Sonic Runners based on it. Sonic Runners was received well, but the servers were shut down less than a year later in 2016.

Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania (2017) were both the most recent Sonic platformers, with both marking the return of Classic Sonic.

== Other media ==

Sonic's success has also spawned various creative endeavours outside the video games, most notably two lines of [[comic book]]s, four cartoon series, and an OVA [[anime]].

===Animation===

There have been multiple Sonic television shows, with the first being The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog in 1993, which followed Sonic and Tails as they try to prevent Dr. Ivo Robotnik from taking over Mobius. It was a fast-paced slapstick show, much akin to [[Animaniacs]] or [[Tiny Toon Adventures]]. It was succeeded by a science fantasy in 1995 show called Sonic the Hedgehog, often shortened to SatAM to avoid confusion with other shows and games. It is remembered fondly by many, and it is very popular among [[Furry|furries]]. The show takes a much darker tone than the other television shows and features many of the Freedom Fighter characters. Next was a series called Sonic Underground, made in 2000, featuring Sonic and his two siblings called Sonia and Manic, who have never appeared in any pieces of media since. The three characters play for a band who is trying to fight Dr. Robotnik, a mad doctor who wants to kill them and "robotize" the land. The fourth TV series was called [[Sonic X]] and was notable for being the first to feature the characters' modern appearance (their looks from Sonic Adventure and other games). It was an action-adventure-comedy-drama-science fantasy anime. The fifth and final show was Sonic Boom, a show about the characters from the series of the same name. It was much more well-received than the games.

===Comics===

There were three Sonic the Hedgehog comics, the first of which was Sonic the Comic, a UK children's' comic about Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. It ran for 223 issues between 1993 and 2002 and was published by Fleetway Editions. The next and most popular comic was [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], a comic put out by Archie Comics that ran between 1993 and 2017. This comic featured many elements from the SatAM series and the games, and until the Super Genesis Wave event, it had its own stories. After the event in the comics, all the characters' histories were reset to be identical to the games. Archie Comics is also notable for publishing a few other Sonic the Hedgehog themed comics and even a Mega Man comic. The final and a still ongoing comic was published by IDW Publishing and had a continuity that stuck mostly to the games.

==Sonic the Hedgehog and furry==

Sonic, arguably one of the most popular game series in the furry fandom, is one of those series that is controversial due to furries. Some fans hate furries, some furries hate Sonic, some people became furries due to Sonic, while some furries were drawn to Sonic for its characters. Nevertheless, the furry presence is strong in the fandom. This especially common with fans of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog, which tended to combine many different art styles of furry animals before the reboot.

[[Yerf]] famously instituted a ban on all Sonic-inspired artwork after the archive was flooded with low-quality artwork related to the game.{{cn}}

Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Silver, Rouge, Cream, and Vanilla are amongst the most popular with furries, though most of the characters have some level of furry interest.

Hello! Dragonick here! I'm going to take a moment to enthusiastically tell you about myself, so here we go!

[[File:Dragonphi.png|150x150px|framed|right|A dragon phi logo, similar to the [[PhiPaw]] symbol. Dragonick wears a logo like this on his back.]]
==Interests==
I enjoy video games, speaking French and drawing. I like listening to music as well, but usually video game music.

==Fursona(s)==
There are about 7 fursonas (or fursonæ, or whatever) that I identify with.
They include:
*Two dragons - Dragonick & Banfish
*A fox - Farry "Floof" Fishhunter
*A dinosaur- "Jago"
*A wolf - "Rocky" Wolff
*And a coyote ("Dyzzy Daemon")

I really like being a furry, but I have not yet been to any conventions or properly spoken with other furries. I may get a fursuit, and I am quite excited about that.

I frequent the Sonic the Hedgehog pages and pages relating to fursuits. I also keep my eye on the Recent Changes log. I am a bit on/off when it comes to furry stuff though, so I'm not always active on the wiki.

'''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is a popular series of video games by [[Wikipedia:SEGA|SEGA]], created in 1991 and starring a blue [[hedgehog]] called [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] embroiled in constant battles against his nemesis/rival, Dr. Ivo Robotnik (also known as '''Eggman''').

There have also been several spin-off cartoons and comics. Sonic is heavily popular in the furry fandom, although his friends, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] the two-tailed [[fox]] as well as some of the other characters, are often more popular than Sonic himself. There is a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series begun by Archie Comics that features characters like [[Sally Acorn]], Bunnie Rabbot, Antoine D'Coolette, Rotor J. Walrus, Dulcy the Dragon, [[Rouge|Rouge the Bat]], [[Cream|Cream the Rabbit]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Silver|Silver the Hedgehog]] and many others, all of whom tend to be as popular, if not more than Sonic.
Note that some of the characters appear or don't appear in all the various Sonic forms of media.

==Most notable games==

Sonic the Hedgehog is the game that began the series on the Genesis (the Mega Drive outside North America) and was followed up by two direct sequels, each introducing a number of new characters and enemies. A spin-off was released for the Sega CD (also known as the Mega CD outside of North America) called Sonic CD which introduced time travel and prerecorded CD music as major features. The first Sonic game with 3D graphics and gameplay was Sonic R, which was released in 1996 for PC and the Sega Saturn, although the Special Stages of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic CD featured 3D movement before that. The first fully 3D traditional platformer game in the series was Sonic Adventure in 1998 for the Sega Dreamcast which got a sequel of its own called Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001. The Sonic Advance series was the first old-style 2D platformer for a while, and it was released for the Game Boy Advance in 3 instalments: the first in 2001, the second in 2002 and the third in 2004. Sonic The Hedgehog was the title of a 2006 game, known to many people as Sonic '06, which was critically slammed for having a strange story, numerous bugs and glitches and almost being unfinished. Sega achieved much more success with Sonic and the Secret Rings, the first in the Sonic Storybook Series in 2007. Sonic Unleashed followed in 2008 and had an feature of Sonic being transforming into a [[werewolf]]-like creature know as a "werehog" at night. The second and final game in the Sonic Storybook Series was Sonic and the Black Knight in 2009, an open world game with swordfighting gameplay. 2010 saw the release of Sonic Colors (called Sonic Colours in British English) which is widely regarded as one of, if not the best 3D Sonic game. Sonic Generations was released in 2011 and was the first game to feature Classic Sonic, who was Sonic's original design, and his past self. They soon after released both parts of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (Sonic 4 Episode 1 & 2), which was made as a direct sequel to the first four Sonic games, and the return of the 2D gameplay from Sonic Advance. The mid-2010s saw a Sonic redesign, giving him a scarf and a few extra spikes. The redesign was received poorly, and was not helped by the negative critical reception of the games it was featured in. Sega returned Sonic to his original design shortly after. Soon afterward, in 2015, Sonic Lost World was released for the PC, and Sega created a mobile game called Sonic Runners based on it. Sonic Runners was received well, but the servers were shut down less than a year later in 2016. Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania were both the most recent Sonic platformers, with both marking the return of Classic Sonic.

== Other media ==

Sonic's success has also spawned various creative endeavours outside the video games, most notably two lines of [[comic book]]s, four cartoon series, and an OVA [[anime]].

===Animation===

There have been multiple Sonic television shows, with the first being The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog in 1993, which followed Sonic and Tails as they try to prevent Dr. Ivo Robotnik from taking over Mobius. It was a fast-paced slapstick show, much akin to [[Animaniacs]] or [[Tiny Toon Adventures]]. It was succeeded by a science fantasy in 1995 show called Sonic the Hedgehog, often shortened to SatAM to avoid confusion with other shows and games. It is remembered fondly by many, and it is very popular among [[Furry|furries]]. The show takes a much darker tone than the other television shows and features many of the Freedom Fighter characters. Next was a series called Sonic Underground, made in 2000, featuring Sonic and his two siblings called Sonia and Manic, who have never appeared in any pieces of media since. The three characters play for a band who is trying to fight Dr. Robotnik, a mad doctor who wants to kill them and "robotize" the land. The fourth TV series was called [[Sonic X]] and was notable for being the first to feature the characters' modern appearance (their looks from Sonic Adventure and other games). It was an action-adventure-comedy-drama-science fantasy anime. The fifth and final show was Sonic Boom, a show about the characters from the series of the same name. It was much more well-received than the games.

===Comics===

There were three Sonic the Hedgehog comics, the first of which was Sonic the Comic, a UK children's' comic about Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. It ran for 223 issues between 1993 and 2002 and was published by Fleetway Editions. The next and most popular comic was [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], a comic put out by Archie Comics that ran between 1993 and 2017. This comic featured many elements from the SatAM series and the games, and until the Super Genesis Wave event, it had its own stories. After the event in the comics, all the characters' histories were reset to be identical to the games. Archie Comics is also notable for publishing a few other Sonic the Hedgehog themed comics and even a Mega Man comic. The final and a still ongoing comic was published by IDW Publishing and had a continuity that stuck mostly to the games.

==Sonic the Hedgehog and furry==

Sonic, arguably one of the most popular game series in the furry fandom, is one of those series that is controversial due to furries. Some fans hate furries, some furries hate Sonic, some people became furries due to Sonic, while some furries were drawn to Sonic for its characters. Nevertheless, the furry presence is strong in the fandom. This especially common with fans of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog, which tended to combine many different art styles of furry animals before the reboot.

[[Yerf]] famously instituted a ban on all Sonic-inspired artwork after the archive was flooded with low-quality artwork related to the game.{{cn}}

Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Silver, Rouge, Cream, and Vanilla are amongst the most popular with furries, though most of the characters have some level of furry interest.

SonicFish: I added a note to my user page about what pages I frequent.

Hello! Nick here! I'm going to take a moment to enthusiastically tell you about myself, so here we go!
[[File:MasterSystemDN.png|128x192px|framed|right|My primary fursona, Dragonick.]]
[[File:Dragonphi.png|150x150px|framed|right|A dragon phi logo, similar to the [[PhiPaw]] symbol. Dragonick wears a logo like this on his back.]]
==Interests==
I enjoy video games, speaking French and drawing. I like listening to music as well, but usually video game music. I hate Fortnite, because it is a waste of money and it really upsets my brother.

==Fursona(s)==
There are about 7 fursonas (or fursonæ, or whatever) that I identify with.
They include:
*Two dragons- Dragonick & Banfish
*Two foxes- Rogue & Farry "Floof" Fishhunter
*A bird- Ricca
*A dinosaur- "James"
*A dog- "Rocky" Wolf
*And a Komodo Dragon

I really like being a furry, but I have not yet been to any conventions or properly spoken with other furries. I may get a fursuit, and I am quite excited about that.

I frequent the Sonic the Hedgehog pages and pages relating to fursuits. I also keep my eye on the Recent Changes log.

'''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is a popular series of video games by [[Wikipedia:SEGA|SEGA]], created in 1991 and starring a blue [[hedgehog]] called [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] embroiled in constant battles against his nemesis/rival, Dr. Ivo Robotnik (who is also known as Eggman.). There have also been several spin-off cartoons and comics. Sonic is heavily popular in the furry fandom, although his friends, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] the two-tailed [[fox]] as well as some of the other characters, are often more popular than Sonic himself. There is a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series begun by Archie Comics that features characters like [[Sally Acorn]], Bunnie Rabbot , Antoine D'Coolette, [[Rotor J. Walrus, Dulcy the Dragon, [[Rouge|Rouge the Bat]], [[Cream|Cream the Rabbit]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], [[Silver|Silver the Hedgehog]] and many others, all of whom tend to be as popular, if not more than Sonic.
Note that some of the characters appear or don't appear in all the various Sonic forms of media.

[[Yerf]] famously instituted a ban on all Sonic-inspired artwork after the archive was flooded with low-quality artwork related to the game.

==Most notable games==
Sonic the Hedgehog is the game that began it all on the Genesis (or Mega Drive), and was followed up by two direct sequels, each introducing a number of new characters and enemies. A spin-off was released for the Sega CD (also known as the Mega CD outside of North America) called Sonic CD which introduced time travel and CD music as major mechanics. The first fully 3D Sonic game was Sonic R, which was released in 1996 for PC and the Sega Saturn, although the Special Stages of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic CD were 3D before that. The first fully 3D released platformer game in the series was Sonic Adventure in 1998 for the Sega Dreamcast which got a sequel of its own in 2001. The Sonic Advance series was the first 2D platformer for a while, and it was released for the Game Boy Advance in 3 instalments: the first in 2001, the second in 2002 and the third in 2004. Sonic The Hedgehog was also the title of a 2006 game, known to many people as Sonic '06, that was critically slammed for having a strange story, numerous bugs and glitches and almost being unfinished. Sega achieved much more success with Sonic and the Secret Rings, the first in the Sonic Storybook Series in 2007. Sonic Unleashed followed in 2008 and had an interesting gimmick of Sonic being turned into a [[werewolf]]-like creature know as a "werehog" at night. The second and final game in the Sonic Storybook Series was Sonic and the Black Knight in 2009. 2010 saw the release of Sonic Colors (called Sonic Colours in British English) which is widely regarded as one of, if not the best 3D Sonic game. Sonic Generations was released in 2011 and was the first game to feature Classic Sonic, who was Sonic's original design, and his past self. They soon after released both parts of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which was made as a direct sequel to the first four Sonic games. The mid-2010s saw a Sonic redesign, giving him a scarf and a few extra spikes. The redesign was received poorly, and was not helped by the negative critical reception of the games it was featured in. Soon afterward, Sonic Lost World was released for the PC and Sega decided to make a mobile game called Sonic Runners based on it. Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania were both the most recent Sonic platformers, with both marking the return of Classic Sonic.

== Other media ==
Sonic's success has also spawned various creative endeavours outside the video games, most notably two lines of [[comic book]]s, four cartoon series, and an OVA [[anime]].

===Animation===
There has been multiple Sonic television shows, with the first being The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog in 1993, which followed Sonic and Tails as they try to prevent Dr. Ivo Robotnik form taking over Mobius. It was a fast-paced slapstick show, much akin to [[Animaniacs]] or [[Tiny Toon Adventures]]. It was succeeded by a science fantasy in 1995 show called Sonic the Hedgehog, often shortened to SatAM to avoid confusion with other shows and games. It is remembered fondly by many, and it is very popular among [[Furry|furries]]. The show takes a much darker tone than the other television shows, and features many of the Freedom Fighter characters. Next was a series called Sonic Underground, made in 2000, featuring Sonic and his two siblings called Sonia and Manic, who have never appeared in any pieces of media since. The three characters play for a band who are trying to fight Dr. Robotnik, a mad doctor who wants to kill them and "roboticize" the land. The fourth TV series was called [[Sonic X]] and was notable for being the first to feature the characters' modern appearance (their looks from Sonic Adventure and other games). It was an action-adventure-comedy-drama-science fantasy anime. The fifth and final show was Sonic Boom, a show about the characters from the series of the same name. It was much more well received than the games.

===Comics===
There were three Sonic the Hedgehog comics, the first of which was Sonic the Comic, a UK childrens' comic about Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. It ran for 223 issues between 1993 and 2002 and was published by Fleetway Editions. The next and most popular comic was [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], a comic put out by Archie Comics that ran between 1993 and 2017. This comic featured many elements from the SatAM series and the games, and until the Super Genesis Wave event, it had its own stories. After the event in the comics, all the characters' histories were reset to be identical to the games. Archie Comics is also notable for publishing a few other Sonic the Hedgehog themed comics, and even a Mega Man comic. The final and still ongoing comic was published by IDW Publishing and had a continuity that stuck mostly to the games.

==Sonic the Hedgehog and Furry==
Sonic, arguably one of the most popular game series in the furry fandom, is one of those series that is controversial due to furries. Some fans hate furries, some furries hate Sonic, some people became furries due to Sonic, while some furries were drawn to Sonic for its characters. Nevertheless, the furry presence is strong in the fandom. This especially common with fans of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog, which tended to combine many different art styles of furry animals before the reboot.
Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Silver, Rouge, Cream, and Vanilla are amongst the most popular with furries, though most of the characters have some level of furry interest.

Francisco (Also known as Dr Francis) joined the furry fandom in early to late-mid 2018. Always liking the animals he'd seen and art of animals, Francis fell in love with the community and soon made his first fursona. Even though he couldn't seem to decide the name of his 'sona. He would always try to go back to the Closet, so in July 2019, he stuck with "Gay" and "Honosexual" as his permanent fursona's.

SonicFish: Updated the image and the name of one of the fursonas.

Hello! Nick here! I'm going to take a moment to enthusiastically tell you about myself, so here we go!
[[File:MasterSystemDN.png|128x192px|framed|right|My primary fursona, Dragonick.]]
==Interests==
I enjoy video games, speaking French and drawing. I like listening to music as well, but usually video game music. I hate Fortnite, because it is a waste of money and it really upsets my brother.

==Fursona(s)==
There are about 7 fursonas (or fursonæ, or whatever) that I identify with.
They include:
*Two dragons- Dragonick & Banfish
*Two foxes- Rogue & Farry "Floof" Fishhunter
*A bird- Ricca
*A dinosaur- "James"
*A dog- "Rocky" Wolf
*And a Komodo Dragon

I really like being a furry, but I have not yet been to any conventions or properly spoken with other furries. I may get a fursuit, and I am quite excited about that.

I hope you like my page! I am not sure if I did it correctly, but...

See ya!

Welcome to the Furry Fandom! I'm Dragonick, an anthropomorphic blue dragon. How are you getting on so far? I am quite new myself, only becoming a furry a few months ago. A great start to joining the fandom is to communicate with other furries, with Reddit being a particularly popular place for them.

Sorry if this sounds obvious!

Mobius

2020-06-03T10:50:12Z

SonicFish: Added a sentence about how Sonic's world is referred to as Earth in the more recent media.

{{cleanup}}
'''Mobius''' is the setting used in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] [[cartoon]] and [[comic book]]s. Among the [[furry fandom]], Mobius is popular as a generic post-apocalyptic [[furry]] setting. The continuity of Mobius began in the version of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon known in the Sonic fandom as [[SatAM]], originally named in ''The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' cartoon and was continued and expanded (and heavily retconned) by the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Archie comic]]. Due to the flexibility of the setting, it is fairly popular among furries, and has developed a fandom of its own.
Most modern Sonic media refer to the planet as Earth, but the dominant species is uncertain as the world is populated by [[Human|humans]] in most of the media in the 2000s but has been changed to be a world of [[anthropomorphic]] [[Animal|animals]] in the more recent games.

==In the Archie Comics==
In the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic produced by Archie, Mobius's calendar year is around 3237. The world is inhabited by a combination of anthropomorphs and humans, notable examples being the Freedom Fighters, which is a team of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Sally Acorn]] and various other anthropomorphic animals, and Dr. Eggman, a mad scientist bent on world domination. Dr. Eggman is constantly thwarted by Sonic the Hedgehog in his plans for world domination. This form of Mobius resembles a polluted Earth.
==In the SatAM Cartoon==
Mobius is a planet mostly inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, with an exception of Dr. Robotnik, a scientist bent on destroying the Freedom Fighters and governing roboticized animals. Dr. Robotnik, then known as Julian, was on a space expedition when a nuclear holocaust destroyed all [[Human|human]] life. The remaining animals mutated and built upon the society left by people. Upon his return, Dr. Robotnik and his assistant Snively felt they should be in charge or all the formerly four-legged critters. This Mobius has a combination of polluted cities and beautiful forests.

==In the furry fandom==
For furries, Mobius is a generic setting, usable for any style of stories; the juxtaposition of large untamed wildernesses and modern societies, magic and technology, enlightenment and the unknown, make for a setting that can encompass a wide variety of stories and genres within it.

Fanwritten stories set in Mobius infrequently centre around the Robotnik-Freedom Fighters storyline, and are either set in the peaceful times before or in the foreseen reconstruction after.

:There are, and always have been, [[stats:EN/TablesWikiFurEN.htm#wikipedians|many transient editors]] - in any given month, edits by occasional visitors (most interested only in specific topics) tends to be roughly equal to that of established contributors. Traffic fallen over the years, and edits roughly in line with that, but to a point; and in the last few months it increased. I've adjusted our settings to encourage the use of HTTPS, which Google favours - most visits come through search - and it seems to be working, inasmuch as they've switched over from HTTP. [[WikiFur:Colleagues|Colleagues]] are often busy (as I have been) but drop in occasionally; WikiFur's been up for 5000 days, and you can't expect people to stick around all the time.

Hey if they keep updating your account with false info about you and removing the true info, that’s textbook slander and you can 100% pursue legal action, as well as you should. And to Spirou, that legal threat is valid as you committed slander. So yes, yes so much.

Hey there. Regarding the lemonbrat debacle. It was a pretty big even that got a lot of attention in the community. She is trying to cash in on the drama she created so it’s only fair that the whole story be known. Just because it was resolved does not mean it didn’t happen and people should know about it. {{unsigned|2601:603:4d00:6:a851:8ca3:9ad6:d6e4}}

:You just proved that you hide the truth and event based on your own opinions, not facts and therefore have proven yourself to be biased and untrustworthy. {{unsigned|2601:603:4d00:6:a1b5:3b03:1346:9c79}}

::The matter with the [[fursuit]] was solved, period, and "hearsay" is not valid info, by the way. You are taking the side of [[Lemonbrat]] to bash the other user with unreferenced/NPOV statements under the guise of reporting a possible "beware" situation. Slam the user directly if you wish, don't hide behind the, again, resolve, non-notable, fursuit matter. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 23:15, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

:::Except I provided a link directly to the beware and included exactly what had happened. Just because what had happened made Camaro turn out worse

:::That doesn’t mean bias, that means truth. The mere fact you are calling easily shown and proven circumstances bias just shows your own. And again, what part of just because something is solved doesn’t mean it didn’t happen do you not get. That’s like saying that someone killed someone was found guilty, does that mean it didn’t happen? No, it doesn’t. Way to hide the actions of another person and taking her side ignoring legitimate proof. Good to know that this site is about as bad as encyclopedia Dramatica, if not worse as you peddle in bias and lies. {{unsigned|2601:603:4d00:6:c5aa:f3be:e87a:710c}}
::::I looked through what was on the page, and it definitely is not worded with NPOV, and cites no other sources other than the beware, which quite frankly, doesn't even put the situation in favor of Lemonbrat as the wiki text did, that's pretty obvious by reading the comments of the beware posting. There is no bias here - if someone had posted something bashing Lemonbrat, we'd have dealt with it in the same way. --[[User:FrostTheFox|FrostTheFox]] ([[User_talk:FrostTheFox|talk]]) 21:58, 24 August 2019 (EDT)

I have already made my case on the article's Talk page and will reiterate here: a lot of the information presented on the current version of the article is not up to date. Jalen has changed his fursona since the image was uploaded, has stopped using the "jd22292" name, subsequently changing his social media accounts, has more recently dropped the D from his name, and has gained new social media accounts, such as at Twitch. I doubt he even meets this Wiki's notability criteria. [[Special:Contributions/2601:589:8000:D340:2464:3DE4:C26F:84E0|2601:589:8000:D340:2464:3DE4:C26F:84E0]] 20:25, 19 September 2019 (EDT)

== Grrfret ==

Hi. Signed up for an account today, admittedly not having delved into the rules of this site first so I'll start off by apologizing if I've broken any. VPN was active when I signed up, also I used a protonmail account which has given me grief on a couple of other sites but I like it for its extra security. Anyway, a few hours after signing up for my first account (I've only browsed without signing in before), I received this message when I went to check my profile:

"This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference:
12:10, 24 September 2019 Spirou (Talk | contribs) blocked Grrfret (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 1 year (account creation disabled, email disabled, cannot edit own talk page) (Ban evasion: Account spamming (continuing))"

I assume this has either something to do with my VPN, protonmail or combination of both. Is there anything I can do to get unbanned?

Thanks!

Saphy has a track record of doing exactly what he’s being accused of, and the fact that it’s a con itself saying it means it holds much more weight than random twitter comments. Oh and “the allegations aren’t explained”? Can you not read? It’s pretty black and white. How about doing research before trying to protect Saphy again.

Hi there. There's this Tabyhunterwolf guy that has been around and doing an editing spree on furcons and other people. He said it was 'A contribution to the furry fandom'. We, the others sees it as an unnecessary effort as he was new in the community.
I know this is a strange request, but can you revert back all of the changes he made on every country furcons and people/character/fursona to the point before he edits them. This is on behalf of other people as well because it makes us, the Malaysian Fur Community looks bad.
Thank you, and sorry this happened to you and your colleagues. {{unsigned|2405:3800:282:fb53:d015:a3a2:ff08:363}}

== The Lupin V Wolfe controversy ==

Question: Why have you locked the Lupin V Wolfe stub on the bad version, the one with less references & links, the one requiring clarifications and citations? The one [[Furry Underbelly]], without any supporting evidence, insists is the truth, while the ''real'' Lupin's version included references. Look, I'm the Lupin Wolfe, ''not'' Lupin '''V''' Wolfe, who's information is in that dox. They went after Lupin V and found me instead. And nobody wants to drop it. I would not care, or even be aware of it, except for people coming to me because they thought I committed suicide over cyber-bullying. Again, mistaken identity, but in reverse this time. So, with respect for the dead, ''and'' because I know I'm not him, I've taken to maintaining the correct version of Lupin V's page. And now, "for Christmas," you have locked the page on the version with '''''my''''' information attributed to someone else! Lupin V Wolfe was right: [[Furry Underbelly]] I a damned Vandal, even if you ignore their motives. They are taking down a well-referenced and formatted Wiki page, in favor of an interior one, which now ''two'' people are contesting the validity of. If you care so much about WikiFur, why don't you lock the version that is more well-composed and -referenced? Not to mention contains less information, and poorer references. This is beginning to look like the Encyclopedia Dramatica!
If you can lock pages, why don't you lock it on the version that the person it was about wanted when they died? [[User:Other Lupin Wolfe|The other Lupin Wolfe]] ([[User talk:Other Lupin Wolfe|talk]]) 14:11, 25 December 2019 (EST)

== Possible to delete page + all of its edit histories? ==

Thanks for editing my page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/The_Realist through the years. I made some dumb mistakes oversharing info all over when I was in university, and this corner of the Internet was no exception to that habit I had back then. I've had to go through and update things to explain the content of the previous versions, which led to more explaining, which kind of snowballed out of control and led to the fluff-filled mess that is my page today. Nobody should have to read all of that. Since trying to explain things spiraled out of control, I'd like to ask if it's possible to just erase this page from the site while I'm still relatively a nobody... maybe to start over years from now if I ever gain some traction in the community? Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

== Suspicious edits ==

You banned the creator of this edit:
https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Furry_Survey&curid=21379&diff=522410&oldid=468525
but, after the fact, I realise that the author of this edit may be the same person:
https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Furry_Survey&curid=21379&diff=522411&oldid=522410

I realised the first edit may have been done solely to slip in the second edit, which, if you compare it to the edit before both of those... (by using my own correction diff, too) the words "positive" and "negative" are swapped. i.e. making an influential change by disguising it as an undo. So you should probably consider the second person bannable too, given his changes were very very intentional.

== My posts were deleted, and I'd like to recover my files ==

My posts on Awiti and Lira were recently taken down, and I was wondering if the information is still available in some way. I apologise for the insuffiency that the posts lacked; I generally had no idea that leaving areas unkempt would be an issue, and I have to ask, is there a way to repost them once I've gotten everything sorted out, or will it risk a ban? I only ask, cause a lot of the work was an expansion on pre-existing stories that I'd planned to publish.

I also apologise if Lira's post was too NSFW. I'll refrain in future.

== Still Would Like My Page Deleted, Please ==

Greetings. I left a message on this page over 2 months ago requesting my page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Sean_Christopher_Hayes have its history deleted. The message seems to have gone completely ignored. I have no other way of contacting you, since your Twitter blocks DMs and I don't think you check FA anymore. I don't know what else to do. I've cleaned up the page itself, but everything I want deleted is still very much visible publicly in the "History" section. I made some over-sharing mistakes on my userpage when I was younger, and I'd rather not have those immortalized on the page history forever. If it's at all possible, please erase everything from History at minimum, if not the entire page and all references to it directly. I would do it myself but I do not see an option to do so anywhere at all. Thanks. [[User:Therealist]]

:Sorry, yes, you did post a note here, it seems I just failed to notice, my bad. Also, you are indeed correct about my [[Twitter]]'s DMs not allowing people to contact me (fixed that too, thanks).

== Question about "formerly known as" change to my page ==

I appreciate the change saying "otherwise known as" Doathejackalope, which is totally fair since that's what all my art pages are, I don't really understand the previously known as addition though. That last name is something I used for exactly like 1 month ten years ago when I initially created my page, I've only ever gone as Doa or DoaTheJackalope since. I only popped over to edit this page because I was reminded it existed and was incredibly outdated. When I first created my entry I just had it as Doa but for some formatting reason the page was moved to my full name at that time. If anyone ever saw or used that name it was because of this entry, I didn't use it anywhere else. May I just politely ask for the page to not mention it or for the page to simply be "Doa"? - {{unsigned|Destroyer-of-ants}}

:It's been there for 10 years, so people have viewed that data as valid all this time, but if you think the info is not longer valid you can edit it without asking for permission. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:03, 3 April 2020 (EDT)

== Azure (USA) article title ==
Hi Spirou! What if there are multiple Azure in the USA? This is extremely likely. The current Azure on FurryMUCK is also in the USA, and multiple other Azures listed on the Azure disambiguation page seem to be in the US too, as evidenced by them visiting US fur cons.
I think using someone's first name works. I was also considering Azure (Bluemew) as a title name, since Bluemew is his WikiFur username.
Make sure to fix the red link on the Azure disambiguation page when you're done. Thanks!
[[User:Novaaa|Novaaa]] ([[User talk:Novaaa|talk]]) 23:27, 16 April 2020 (EDT)

:If there are multiple Azures within on single country, then move it to states, then city, or a station in the fandom ([[furry fan]], [[fursuiter]], or [[furry artist]]. Also, you need to remove the [[Furrymuck]] data from the article regarding Azure/Rich so I can move some [[Azure]] articles around. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 23:52, 16 April 2020 (EDT)

::I don't think there's need to remove the information about Rich's time MUCKing on FurryMUCK.

Rich = Bluemew. A single person. I'm offering that the article title for him could be Azure (Bluemew).

==Regarding the Ryker122 page vandalism==
Hey!

First of all I wanted to thank you for being so quick to react to the vandalism of the Ryker122 page last night. It was in response to an attack on another platform and I was only told it had happened about an hour ago. But I'd also like to raise a question. Is it possible to remove some of the information on the page completely? I have no idea who made the page and the majority of the info is false and quite damaging, as I feel like it has the potential to affect professional connections I have outside of the community. Not only that but, no offence, I'd rather not have my personal info and real name link back to a furry site when employers review my online presence.I figured I should consult someone first incase the deletion is listed as vandalism, as I'm not familiar with how this site works,

Thank you! --[[User:Ryker122|Ryker122]] ([[User talk:Ryker122|talk]]) 06:11, 1 May 2020 (EDT)

== Irwin's page gone/moved after last change? ==
Hi,
I changed the info on my page for the first time since 2013, and then the whole page was removed. I've created an account now, and have tried to write here before, will try again.
- Have I done something wrong?
- Can you roll back the removal/move so I can work with it from the latest change?

Regards,
{{unsigned|Irwin}}/Peter

:Hallo. [[Fursona]]/[[character]] articles normally (unless very notable) reside stay within its creator's article. The data is not deleted but transferred to the creator's article, and if none is found, to the creator's user page until such time an article for him/her/they is created and merged. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 18:51, 22 May 2020 (EDT)

::Thank you for the clarification! But I still can't find the page, I've searched for it and looked for it in my account. I've been writing on that page for years, but not gotten an account before. I'm using Telia.com as Internet provider, så my IP will probably change with every time I go online. So perhaps you've placed the page in the creator's article, but that's just an IP number, as far as I know.
::- Could you place the page in my article instead?

::::I'm not sure about the nomenclature here, but it's probably the fursona page I'm looking for. Sometime over a decade ago, I wrote an article on Wikifur about Irwin without having an account. I've added things over the years, and I've had a link to it from FA for years:
::::http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Irwin
::::It was at least listed among Swedish fursonas.
::::I cut out some text from it maybe a week ago, then you moved it somewhere or erased it, and I can't find it again. So I decided to create an account(?) here, and now I have created what I hope is a user's article by just writing a sentence.
::::https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Irwin
::::I didn't want to do more without asking you what was wrong with the article/page, or if the page was just moved somewhere. I'm slowly trying to learn how to even pose questions with links back to my user and Talk pages...
::::Regards,
::::[[User:Irwin|Irwin]] ([[User talk:Irwin|talk]])/Peter

:::::Ah ha, I see known. The problem was the article was only about your [[fursona]], not you. Unless a fursona is notable enough to have its own article, it normally resides within its creator's user article (let's use the example of '''Bambioids''', normally [[character]]s created by [[Jerry Collins]], and modeled by [[Bob Hill]], its fandom notable enough to have its own [[Bambioid]] article). If not, fursona articles used to be deleted, but, as said before, they are now saved on a creator's user page waiting for integration.

:::::So the best thing for you to do is to create your own [[Irwin]] (person) article ([[furry fan]], [[furry artist]], [[fursuiter]], [[YouTuber]] and/or whatnot), and then transfer your fursona data here to it. Am I clear what is normally required?. Please say so if I still not coming thru, thanks. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 02:53, 27 May 2020 (EDT)

:Greenreaper will help you out with account help (I don't think I'm able to make those changes, even being a curator); Toys or products would go in the main [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] article, but unless is [[furry]] related ([[plush]]), products and toys are not normally covered (also unless notable). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 17:59, 31 May 2020 (EDT)

Hey there. Regarding the lemonbrat debacle. It was a pretty big even that got a lot of attention in the community. She is trying to cash in on the drama she created so it’s only fair that the whole story be known. Just because it was resolved does not mean it didn’t happen and people should know about it. {{unsigned|2601:603:4d00:6:a851:8ca3:9ad6:d6e4}}

::The matter with the [[fursuit]] was solved, period, and "hearsay" is not valid info, by the way. You are taking the side of [[Lemonbrat]] to bash the other user with unreferenced/NPOV statements under the guise of reporting a possible "beware" situation.

:::Except I provided a link directly to the beware and included exactly what had happened. Just because what had happened made Camaro turn out worse

:::That doesn’t mean bias, that means truth. The mere fact you are calling easily shown and proven circumstances bias just shows your own. And again, what part of just because something is solved doesn’t mean it didn’t happen do you not get. That’s like saying that someone killed someone was found guilty, does that mean it didn’t happen? No, it doesn’t.

Hi. Signed up for an account today, admittedly not having delved into the rules of this site first so I'll start off by apologizing if I've broken any. VPN was active when I signed up, also I used a protonmail account which has given me grief on a couple of other sites but I like it for its extra security. Anyway, a few hours after signing up for my first account (I've only browsed without signing in before), I received this message when I went to check my profile:

"This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference:

Saphy has a track record of doing exactly what he’s being accused of, and the fact that it’s a con itself saying it means it holds much more weight than random twitter comments.

== An ashamed Malaysian fur ==

Hi there. There's this Tabyhunterwolf guy that has been around and doing an editing spree on furcons and other people. He said it was 'A contribution to the furry fandom'. We, the others sees it as an unnecessary effort as he was new in the community.
I know this is a strange request, but can you revert back all of the changes he made on every country furcons and people/character/fursona to the point before he edits them. This is on behalf of other people as well because it makes us, the Malaysian Fur Community looks bad.
Thank you, and sorry this happened to you and your colleagues. {{unsigned|2405:3800:282:fb53:d015:a3a2:ff08:363}}

== The Lupin V Wolfe controversy ==

Question: Why have you locked the Lupin V Wolfe stub on the bad version, the one with less references & links, the one requiring clarifications and citations? The one [[Furry Underbelly]], without any supporting evidence, insists is the truth, while the ''real'' Lupin's version included references. Look, I'm the Lupin Wolfe, ''not'' Lupin '''V''' Wolfe, who's information is in that dox. They went after Lupin V and found me instead. And nobody wants to drop it. I would not care, or even be aware of it, except for people coming to me because they thought I committed suicide over cyber-bullying. Again, mistaken identity, but in reverse this time. So, with respect for the dead, ''and'' because I know I'm not him, I've taken to maintaining the correct version of Lupin V's page. And now, "for Christmas," you have locked the page on the version with '''''my''''' information attributed to someone else! Lupin V Wolfe was right: [[Furry Underbelly]] I a damned Vandal, even if you ignore their motives. They are taking down a well-referenced and formatted Wiki page, in favor of an interior one, which now ''two'' people are contesting the validity of. If you care so much about WikiFur, why don't you lock the version that is more well-composed and -referenced? Not to mention contains less information, and poorer references. This is beginning to look like the Encyclopedia Dramatica!
If you can lock pages, why don't you lock it on the version that the person it was about wanted when they died? [[User:Other Lupin Wolfe|The other Lupin Wolfe]] ([[User talk:Other Lupin Wolfe|talk]]) 14:11, 25 December 2019 (EST)

== Delete Page ==
Hello! I recently attempted to post a deletion request for a page containing my real name *deleted* and information about where I lived. I don't want to be listed on WikiFur, under any moniker, and definitely not under my real name. I am frequently the target of real world doxxing attacks from alt-right trolls and this page makes me less safe. Unfortunately you restored the personal information, so I am trying again to request that WikiFur delete the page under your Personal Exclusion policy. If you could also delete reference to the page in this comment, I would appreciate it.

Happy to verify my identity via other means, if necessary, but my data needs to be deleted off of this website. Thanks! {{unsigned|64.74.136.165}}

== Possible to delete page + all of its edit histories? ==

Thanks for editing my page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/The_Realist through the years. I made some dumb mistakes oversharing info all over when I was in university, and this corner of the Internet was no exception to that habit I had back then. I've had to go through and update things to explain the content of the previous versions, which led to more explaining, which kind of snowballed out of control and led to the fluff-filled mess that is my page today. Nobody should have to read all of that. Since trying to explain things spiraled out of control, I'd like to ask if it's possible to just erase this page from the site while I'm still relatively a nobody... maybe to start over years from now if I ever gain some traction in the community? Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

== Suspicious edits ==

You banned the creator of this edit:
https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Furry_Survey&curid=21379&diff=522410&oldid=468525
but, after the fact, I realise that the author of this edit may be the same person:
https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Furry_Survey&curid=21379&diff=522411&oldid=522410

I realised the first edit may have been done solely to slip in the second edit, which, if you compare it to the edit before both of those... (by using my own correction diff, too) the words "positive" and "negative" are swapped. i.e. making an influential change by disguising it as an undo. So you should probably consider the second person bannable too, given his changes were very very intentional.

== My posts were deleted, and I'd like to recover my files ==

My posts on Awiti and Lira were recently taken down, and I was wondering if the information is still available in some way. I apologise for the insuffiency that the posts lacked; I generally had no idea that leaving areas unkempt would be an issue, and I have to ask, is there a way to repost them once I've gotten everything sorted out, or will it risk a ban? I only ask, cause a lot of the work was an expansion on pre-existing stories that I'd planned to publish.

I also apologise if Lira's post was too NSFW. I'll refrain in future.

== Still Would Like My Page Deleted, Please ==

Greetings. I left a message on this page over 2 months ago requesting my page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Sean_Christopher_Hayes have its history deleted. The message seems to have gone completely ignored. I have no other way of contacting you, since your Twitter blocks DMs and I don't think you check FA anymore. I don't know what else to do. I've cleaned up the page itself, but everything I want deleted is still very much visible publicly in the "History" section. I made some over-sharing mistakes on my userpage when I was younger, and I'd rather not have those immortalized on the page history forever. If it's at all possible, please erase everything from History at minimum, if not the entire page and all references to it directly. I would do it myself but I do not see an option to do so anywhere at all. Thanks. [[User:Therealist]]

:Sorry, yes, you did post a note here, it seems I just failed to notice, my bad. Also, you are indeed correct about my [[Twitter]]'s DMs not allowing people to contact me (fixed that too, thanks). No, my [[Fur Affinity]]'s [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/spirou/ Spirou account] is still off-limits due to the (years ago) FA's Password Fiasco (not fixed yet).

:Since you are one of the original editors of the article, and you indeed tried to contact me via Twitter (which create an error I was able to confirm), I can go ahead and Protect Exclude your article in a couple of minutes.

== Question about "formerly known as" change to my page ==

I appreciate the change saying "otherwise known as" Doathejackalope, which is totally fair since that's what all my art pages are, I don't really understand the previously known as addition though. That last name is something I used for exactly like 1 month ten years ago when I initially created my page, I've only ever gone as Doa or DoaTheJackalope since. I only popped over to edit this page because I was reminded it existed and was incredibly outdated. When I first created my entry I just had it as Doa but for some formatting reason the page was moved to my full name at that time. If anyone ever saw or used that name it was because of this entry, I didn't use it anywhere else. May I just politely ask for the page to not mention it or for the page to simply be "Doa"? - {{unsigned|Destroyer-of-ants}}

:It's been there for 10 years, so people have viewed that data as valid all this time, but if you think the info is not longer valid you can edit it without asking for permission. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:03, 3 April 2020 (EDT)

== Azure (USA) article title ==
Hi Spirou! What if there are multiple Azure in the USA? This is extremely likely. The current Azure on FurryMUCK is also in the USA, and multiple other Azures listed on the Azure disambiguation page seem to be in the US too, as evidenced by them visiting US fur cons.
I think using someone's first name works. I was also considering Azure (Bluemew) as a title name, since Bluemew is his WikiFur username.
Make sure to fix the red link on the Azure disambiguation page when you're done. Thanks!
[[User:Novaaa|Novaaa]] ([[User talk:Novaaa|talk]]) 23:27, 16 April 2020 (EDT)

:If there are multiple Azures within on single country, then move it to states, then city, or a station in the fandom ([[furry fan]], [[fursuiter]], or [[furry artist]]. Also, you need to remove the [[Furrymuck]] data from the article regarding Azure/Rich so I can move some [[Azure]] articles around. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 23:52, 16 April 2020 (EDT)

Rich = Bluemew. A single person. I'm offering that the article title for him could be Azure (Bluemew).

==Regarding the Ryker122 page vandalism==
Hey!

First of all I wanted to thank you for being so quick to react to the vandalism of the Ryker122 page last night. It was in response to an attack on another platform and I was only told it had happened about an hour ago. But I'd also like to raise a question. Is it possible to remove some of the information on the page completely? I have no idea who made the page and the majority of the info is false and quite damaging, as I feel like it has the potential to affect professional connections I have outside of the community. Not only that but, no offence, I'd rather not have my personal info and real name link back to a furry site when employers review my online presence.I figured I should consult someone first incase the deletion is listed as vandalism, as I'm not familiar with how this site works,

Thank you! --[[User:Ryker122|Ryker122]] ([[User talk:Ryker122|talk]]) 06:11, 1 May 2020 (EDT)

:Hallo. [[Fursona]]/[[character]] articles normally (unless very notable) reside stay within its creator's article. The data is not deleted but transferred to the creator's article, and if none is found, to the creator's user page until such time an article for him/her/they is created and merged. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 18:51, 22 May 2020 (EDT)

::Thank you for the clarification! But I still can't find the page, I've searched for it and looked for it in my account. I've been writing on that page for years, but not gotten an account before. I'm using Telia.com as Internet provider, så my IP will probably change with every time I go online.

::::I'm not sure about the nomenclature here, but it's probably the fursona page I'm looking for. Sometime over a decade ago, I wrote an article on Wikifur about Irwin without having an account. I've added things over the years, and I've had a link to it from FA for years:
::::http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Irwin
::::It was at least listed among Swedish fursonas.
::::I cut out some text from it maybe a week ago, then you moved it somewhere or erased it, and I can't find it again. So I decided to create an account(?) here, and now I have created what I hope is a user's article by just writing a sentence.

::::I didn't want to do more without asking you what was wrong with the article/page, or if the page was just moved somewhere. I'm slowly trying to learn how to even pose questions with links back to my user and Talk pages...
::::Regards,
::::[[User:Irwin|Irwin]] ([[User talk:Irwin|talk]])/Peter

:::::Ah ha, I see known. The problem was the article was only about your [[fursona]], not you. Unless a fursona is notable enough to have its own article, it normally resides within its creator's user article (let's use the example of '''Bambioids''', normally [[character]]s created by [[Jerry Collins]], and modeled by [[Bob Hill]], its fandom notable enough to have its own [[Bambioid]] article). If not, fursona articles used to be deleted, but, as said before, they are now saved on a creator's user page waiting for integration.

:::::So the best thing for you to do is to create your own [[Irwin]] (person) article ([[furry fan]], [[furry artist]], [[fursuiter]], [[YouTuber]] and/or whatnot), and then transfer your fursona data here to it.

[[Image:Prettywolf.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Wolves''' are defined as any of several large [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the genus ''Canis'', of the dog family [[Canidae]]. Wolves are one of the [[List of most popular phenotypes|most popular]] [[species]] for [[fursona]]s.

==Historical views==

In [[wikipedia:Ancient Rome|ancient Rome]], wolves were considered symbols of sexual potency as well as good mothers, the latter easily noticeable in the Roman foundation myth of [[wikipedia:Romulus and Remus|Romulus and Remus]], where the twins were raised by a she-wolf. [[Wikipedia:Native_Americans_in_the_United_States|Native Americans]] revere the [[Wikipedia:Animal_worship|Wolf Totem]] in a different light, seeing wolves as Pathfinders and Guardians. This flies in contrast to the place of the wolf in most western history, wolves having been primarily seen as creatures to be feared, a viewpoint even noted in religious texts such as the Bible: "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

==Modern perspective==

Though the connotations associated with the wolf from ages past still lingers, the view of the wolf today is constantly evolving. Everything from scientific research and readily available documentaries to books and films has done much to alter the public view of these creatures, one notable such example being the film ''[[Wikipedia:Never Cry Wolf|Never Cry Wolf]]''. As the wild ancestors of domestic [[dog]]s, wolves are both familiar and exotic to [[human]]s, which might explain their continuing fascination. Wolves have almost become cliches in some types of modern historical and [[fantasy]] fiction, shown as noble, savage, or a mixture of both qualities. ''[[The Wolves of Time]]'' duology included wolf characters from nobly self-sacrificing through to unrepentantly evil. In the [[furry fandom]], a mix of both elements is seen: admiration and distrust.

Skins

2020-05-31T10:40:04Z

SonicFish: Added a sentence on the appearance in xkcd.

'''Skins''', also known as '''Skinners''', is a very seldom-used term, if not obsolete, coined by [[Darmon C. Thornton]] in 1999, in the now defunct [[Burned Furs]] message board, which he felt it was more of "identifying label" ''"to separates one's self from the furry' stigma"'' than the label "[[Mundane]]" convened.

This term is - or, by now, ''was'' - also used by a small group of people in the Southern California [[Wikipedia:Animation|animation]] industry with strong dislikes for the [[furry fandom]].

Skins also appeared in an [[xkcd]] comic as a humorous version of furries whose fursonas like dressing up as humans.

'''SoFurry''' is a furry website based on [[Yiffstar]], but expanding to non-[[adult]] content and with emphasis on user communities. The project is led by [[Toumal]], and absorbed the existing Yiffstar database over Christmas 2009.<ref>''[https://sofurry.com/page/109996 Launch Procedures Initiated]'' - [[Toumal]], Journal (25 November 2009)</ref>

The project was announced on March 11, 2009 with talk of community-based features and personalized subdomains.<ref>''[http://forum.yiffstar.com/index.php?topic=68050.0 sofurry.com - Our New Home ]'' - Toumal, Yiffstar forums (11 March 2009)</ref> The site gained 100,000 new users over the course of 18 months, and relaunched itself as SoFurry 2.0 in January 2012. It had over 350,000 registered users and almost 550,000 submissions as of June 2014.

==Features==
In addition to stories, artwork, music and journals, SoFurry has a number of distinct additional features.

===Collaboration===
The site features a complete user community system which is used as a kind of collaborative filter. Users are encouraged to found or join "groups" that cover particular subject matters. These groups can have fully integrated forums and even web chatrooms. Users can still use established features like personal watchlists to find new content, but they can also build a collaborative set of favorites within groups, thus allowing people who join groups to instantly be able to browse a human-maintained gallery of content specifically matching the group's topic. Groups are user-created and user-moderated.

In addition to the forums and chats within groups, the site also features global forums and chatrooms that are maintained by the site moderators. Site functions like the web-chat are also available via [[#Third party applications|third-party applications]], and several chat applications (written in Java for the desktop, one [[Wikipedia:Android (operating system)|Android]] app, and a chat client written in [[Wikipedia:Python (programming language)|Python]]) have been developed already. The site offers a one-time-pad authentication system for secure authentication over insecure networks as well as an API for application developers.

===Content===
Another major feature is a complete [[commission]] management and purchase system, in which users and artists can manage their list of in-progress commissions, and also sell and buy commission services. SoFurry does not handle payments or retain any percentages from commissions, the system is free to use for anyone.

Users can personalize their galleries with their own site banners, which are shown whenever someone views or browses their submissions.

Submissions can be personally grouped into sub-gallery folders to which other users can subscribe for updates of newer submissions. Stories can be downloaded in [[wikipedia:ePub|.epub]] format, and folders containing stories can be downloaded as chaptered ePub files.

===Email===
Every user can use a free email forward in the form of username@isfurry.com, @isscaly.com, @iswinged.com, @isfluffy.com, @isrubbery.com or @isfeathery.com; these forwards can be disabled by the user in his/her site preferences in case of spam.

==Differences from Yiffstar==

SoFurry uses a "post-submission review" process, like most other furry art sites. This is in contrast to the "pre-approval" process used in Yiffstar, which resulted in wait times of up to a day before submissions were approved for online viewing. Several functions like the search have been expanded to not only cover titles and authors in addition to tags, but also to honor tag hierarches so searches for "Canine" (for example) will find all canine-tags like "Dog", "Wolf", etc.
It is also the first furry art and story site with its own [https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sofurry&so=1&c=apps mobile apps for Android], using a public API.

==Hosting and funding==

SoFurry is hosted on a cluster of at least six web servers,<ref>''[https://www.sofurry.com/siteupdate/view?id=51 Recent update - Server Move Update (Phase II Complete)]'' - [[DrXeno]], SoFurry (13 January 2014)</ref> running database replication and DNS load-balancing, and located in the USA and the EU. A commercial-grade [[Wikipedia:Content delivery network|CDN]] backs most of the actual content via several datacenters in the US, Europe and Asia. As of May 2013, SoFurry had access to 2 Gbytes of bandwidth and 20 IP addresses, with primary and secondary database/filesystem servers hosting 400Gb using a mix of [[Wikipedia:RAID 5|RAID 5]] and [[Wikipedia:RAID 0|0]], a "[[Wikipedia:Private cloud|private cloud]]" of scalable web servers, and chat and game servers, all running on [[Wikipedia:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]] and [[Wikipedia:Linux|Linux]].<ref>''[https://www.sofurry.com/view/542304 How Sofurry Works!]'' - [[DrXeno]], SoFurry (23 May 2013)</ref>

While SoFurry solicits donations and advertising,<ref>''[https://wiki.sofurry.com/wiki/Advertising_on_SoFurry Advertising on SoFurry]'' - SoFurry Wiki. Accessed 22 June 2014.</ref> it is primarily funded by [[Toumal]].<ref>[https://wiki.sofurry.com/index.php?title=Donate&oldid=1699#All_of_2011 Donations for 2011 and 2012] - SoFurry Wiki</ref> Operation costs were in excess of US$550 per month as of May 2012.<ref>''[https://wiki.sofurry.com/index.php?title=Donate&oldid=1608 Donate]'' - SoFurry Wiki (10 May 2012)</ref>

==SoFurry 2.0==

Development on SoFurry 2.0 began in April 2010, with the goal of revamping the design, navigation and code based on user feedback. The new site is powered by a rewritten backend based on the Yii Framework, and features a streamlined and minimalistic user interface. Additional features include a new photo section, multiple characters per account, friends system, private submission sharing, customizable UI, one-step upload process and other enhancements. New features are added regularly, with upcoming items including a story collaboration system and a "friend activity feed" similar to the "Blotter" in Steam. Beginning December 1, 2011, SoFurry 2.0 users can subscribe to folders for folder-exclusive updates (i.e., series, comics), as an additional alternative to watching users' galleries.

The private beta for SF 2.0 started in March 2011. A public beta period was held from July to January 2011, running alongside the current site. During this time all stories, images, user accounts, comments etc. (except for notifications and commission offers) were shared between the two sites.

SoFurry 2.0 went live on January 23rd, 2012. SoFurry 1.0 is scheduled to be phased out during Q1 2012, after the SoFurry 2.0 Chat and additional site themes become available.

==Reviews and criticism==

===SoFurry 1.0===
The user interface was met with mixed reviews. Many users praised details like the single-page uploader, while others complained about incompatibilities, questionable design decisions and the perceived complexity of the site navigation. The move to a fixed-width page layout was also the target of complaints. Another major issue were numerous bugs present at launch, a fact acknowledged by the staff who spent over a year fixing the various issues and deploying improvements. Despite the criticism, the site gained more users in the twelve months of operation than its predecessor [[Yiffstar]] did over the course of 7 years. Ultimately it was decided to rewrite the site from scratch however.

[[Watts Martin]] noted a marked improvement of the user experience in comparison to SoFurry 1.0 in his November 2011 ''[[Flayrah]]'' review of various heavily-trafficked furry story archives, while criticizing some aspects of the new authorship tools and the limitation of content search to "keyword matching", relating the latter directly to the website's adult-oriented heritage.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.flayrah.com/3734/survey-furry-story-sites|title = A survey of furry story sites|author = Chipotle (Watts Martin)|date =13 November 2011|publisher = Flayrah}}</ref>

===SoFurry 2.0===
Many artists and writers who left or stopped posting on SoFurry during the days of Version 1.0 have returned.{{cn}} Most users expressed positive opinions about the improved performance, while some complained about the bright color scheme. Additional themes and color options have been promised for the coming months.

==Third party applications==

Several applications have been written for SoFurry, among them an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sofurry&feature=search_result SoFurry App] for Android, a [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sofurry.favorites&feature=search_result Live Wallpaper] for Android, as well as [http://code.google.com/p/artsync/ Artsync], a gallery synchronization application that allows artists to synchronize their [[Fur Affinity]] gallery with SoFurry automatically.

== Minecraft server ==

SoFurry has a Minecraft server at minecraft.sofurry.com.<ref>[http://minecraft.sofurry.com/ Sofurry Minecraft Server] webpage. Retrieved 2013 July 1.</ref>

Helpstaff

2020-05-29T20:10:28Z

SonicFish: /* Convention staff */ The convention staff section looked either very unfinished or possibly vandalised.

'''Helpstaff''', also known as a '''Staff member''' or just '''Staff''', are considered, in the context of the [[furry fandom]], both [[MU*]]'s and [[furry convention]] helpers.

== MU* staff ==

MU*' staff usually haven't got the powers of a [[wizard]], but they can often be knowledgeable and helpful. They generally act as information sources and teachers, though on [[role-playing]] (RP) MU*'s, some may also act in the capacity of [[GM]]s.

Some possible special abilities which helpstaff may enjoy include:

* [[Character]] creation
* Allowing [[Guest|guests]] to leave specially confined areas
* Communication via staff-specific channels in various chat programs
* Special item creation (usually "statted" items used in RP) or extra point awards
* License to judge some or all role-playing scenes which may occur on the MU*

These abilities and others are typically privileges, not always granted to a particular staffer, and not always even available to be granted.

== Convention staff ==

Staff members' role in furry conventions is to run errands and jobs which are required for the conventions to operate sustainably. Staff is also a term to simply describe workers at any sort of establishment, furry conventions included.

Con Crud

2020-05-29T19:14:44Z

SonicFish: /* Prevention */ Elaborated a little and fixed a grammatical error.

[[File:GR FC2007 Soap and Water.jpg|thumb|right|160px|[[Aloha Fox]] promotes a good way to prevent Con Crud]]
'''Con Crud''', also known as '''The Blorch''', is normally a [[W:Common cold|cold]], [[W:Flu|flu]], or other non-threatening [[W:Disease|illness]] that people can catch and/or spread quickly throughout [[furry conventions]] (specially [[room party|room parties]]), [[furmeets]], and/or local [[House party|furry houses gatherings]], which is mostly felt after the event is over when said illnesses have reached their peak [[W:Incubation period|incubation]] time.

Con Crud should not be confused with the term [[Con Funk]], although it, along with possible unsanitary conditions, could contribute to its exacerbation.

== Prevention ==
Per the [[wikipedia:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]], protection from the flu is best achieved by [[W:Vaccination|vaccination]].<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/index.html Prevent Seasonal Flu]. ''Centers for Disease Control and Prevention'' (cdc.gov). Retrieved April 22, 2019.</ref> It takes two weeks for the vaccine to confer protection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/flu/consumer/vaccinations.htm Get Vaccinated]. ''Centers for Disease Control and Prevention'' (cdc.gov). Retrieved April 22, 2019.</ref>

Certain habits can also help prevent the spread of disease. A few of these include:<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/habits/index.htm Preventing the Flu: Good Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs]. ''Centers for Disease Control and Prevention'' (cdc.gov). Retrieved April 22, 2019.</ref>
* Washing one's hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
* Avoiding touching eyes, nose, or mouth to avoid germs spread.
* Avoiding close contact with sick attendees.
* Practicing good health habits (sleep, exercise, stress management, and healthy food/fluids).

People who are sick should stay home and/or avoid others to prevent their illness from spreading. Sick people who do attend can still protect others by covering one's nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and properly disposing of the used tissue in the trash after use.

Consumption of [[wikipedia:Alcoholic drink|alcoholic drinks]] can impair immune response, so limiting alcohol intake can help prevent one from becoming sick.<ref>[https://publichealthinsider.com/2018/08/31/gaming-cosplay-and-con-crud-oh-my/ "Gaming, cosplay, and con crud, oh my!"] ''Public Health Insider''. Retrieved April 22, 2019.</ref>

== Further definition ==

The [[Furry Dictionary]] lists "Blorch" as:
{{q|A vagely flu-like illness that has a tendency to flourish and spread at large furry fandom gatherings such as conventions. Symptoms can vary, making the identification of the culprit micro-organism very difficult. It can also be exacerbated by immune system stressors such as lack of sleep from room-partying and dehydration from airline travel}}
This definition was contributed by [[Sean Wilkinson]] in 2000.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20090216003500/http://cloudchasershaconage.furtopia.org/furrydef.txt Furry Dictionary] by [[Cloudchaser Shaconage]]. Retrieved June 14, 2007.</ref>

SonicFish:

Hello! Nick here! I'm going to take a moment to enthusiastically tell you about myself, so here we go!
==Interests==
I enjoy video games, speaking French and drawing. I like listening to music as well, but usually video game music. I hat Fortnite, because it is a waste of money and it really upsets my brother.
==Fursona(s)==
There are about 7 fursonas (or fursonæ, or whatever) that I identify with.
They include:
*Two dragons- Dragonick & Banfish
*Two foxes- Rogue & Farry "Floof" Fishhunter
*A bird- Ricca
*A dinosaur- "James"
*A dog- Wolf
*And a Komodo Dragon

I really like being a furry, but I have not yet been to any conventions or properly spoken with other furries. I may get a fursuit, and I am quite excited about that.

I hope you like my page! I am not sure if I did it correctly, but...

See ya!

So I recently became a furry so I am new to this stuff. I am 15 and I haven't told anyone yet, i am not sure how to tell my parents because they are very judgemental and will laugh at me. They think furries are ridiculous, although I recently became one. I have no fursona or anything as i am only 15(i mentioned earlier) and they are SUPER expensive!! I would like your help with two things:
1. how do i tell my parents or should i keep it to myself??
2. can i make my own fursona?? (maybe just the head) and how would I do this?

Thanks all in advance,
-Sun

:Very sorry it took over a year to respond... but my way of telling somebody I'm a furry is by asking them if they know what a furry is, seeing what they think of them, and correcting them or telling them what it is. You must be 16 by now! Oh, and a fursona is a character to represent yourself, and a fursuit is what you wear. You don't need a fursuit to be a furry. Sorry again, and I hope you receive this reply. --[[User:SonicFish|SonicFish]] ([[User talk:SonicFish|talk]]) 11:07, 28 May 2020 (EDT)

Talk:WikiFur Furry Central

2020-05-28T14:15:48Z

SonicFish: /* Questions about the Furry Fandom */ Answered all the questions.

I have protected [[WikiFur Central]], as it is clear that otherwise it's going to continue to get vandalised. You can still edit each section on this page, and I encourage you to do so (assuming you don't intend to vandalise it! :-). However, you must learn how to use templates, first. This will require reading through the [[Help:Contents|help]] and the guide linked from there. Consider this a small competence test before you can edit the first thing people see when they surf here! If you still can't figure it out and want something changed, let me know on user talk or externally, and I can see what I can do.

If you have an idea for a better layout of this page (one which ''cannot'' be easily changed through the templates), please construct it somewhere first, and then let myself or another [[Project:Administrators|administrator]] know. I'm sorry for tdbnvbhdhe lack of flexibility here, but sometimes protection is a necessary evil.

Happy editing! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 09:23, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Moving to WikiFur Furry Central ==

I've moved the main page because it turns out that not actually having "Furry" in the name of the main page is a signifcant downer in terms of search optimization strategies. Hopefully this should bring us a little more traffic. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 01:15, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Gotcha! ==

I logged on this morning and thought I was going to have to hunt down and revert a bunch of edits, before I remembered what day it was. Good one! --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Help us improve ==
I vote that the "Help us improve" bar be moved to the top of the right column; otherwise, I think it's not as easily seen when sandwiched between two larger articles. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:You're right - it's not as easily seen that way. However, I tried that to start with, and I thought that it spoiled the look somewhat when it is was put there, because the Did you know? section gets shifted down one (the uneven headers look bad).

:It does give me an idea, though. Originally, we had a "wanted pages" section below the new bar, and above. It got removed because stuff was staying on there too long and it was a pain to update. Still, it was in a good place for attention.

:How about we put all of the furpile articles into an expanded "To be improved" category (maybe just by asking people to write a very short stub of them and putting it in stubs), and then use the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList DynamicPageList extension] (already installed) and a [http://alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ modified list style] to display it in a similar way to the other lists? That way there's more chance that people will have something that they can improve on a given day, and articles get more than one chance at improvement. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:We might even be able to swing [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList2 DynamicPageList2], which would remove the need for many of the hacks, allow us to include more categories and allow a better ordering for this particular use. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

::I considered suggesting that the wanted bar be replaced, heh. And with my OCD tendencies, I'd certainly offer to take updating the wanted bar as one of my "jobs". [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Ideally, this would be something that was self-maintaining (like the newbar ''should'' be). If that doesn't work out then yes, someone updating it would work as well.

== New layout? ==
I'm not a terribly big fan of the new layout...but I'm going to assume it's still under construction, seeing as how there are 3 columns on the left and only 1 on the right -- which I have now fixed. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 20:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:I would rather have three on the left and both upcoming events and something else that works well in a small width on the right.

:Anything specifically that you don't like about it? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

::The 3-1 column right now makes the page lopsided and too long, in my opinion (unless future featured articles/DYK? are going to have less content). I also don't like the shortened bars - with long titles like "Help us improve" and "New categories", you can really only see 2-4 items at the most. But if that's the only way to prevent problems on other browsers, I can deal. ;)
:: Also, should the "Admins - Help" part at the top be centered on the second line, or else the text made smaller so it all fits on one line? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I put a link to Community Central in the main header, and since the new/newcat bars are featured in full there, perhaps they should be removed from the front page? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 00:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks good, GR. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 08:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. I would still like to get the new pages on there somehow. Do users click them, though? I would have thought so, but I don't know for sure . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

::Personally, I think it mostly served the purpose of showing "Hey, WikiFur's updating new articles all the time" rather than inducing people to click on them (unless they saw something they related to). Plus, most new pages are tagged as stubs, so they'll get picked up on the Furpile bar as well. I think it looks fine without the newbars on the main page. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 09:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Article of the ____ ==
Perhaps we should just have "Featured article" and "Featured comic", rather than specifying a time period? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 05:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed, so long as we don't update them regularly. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 05:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Protected talk page ==

Is there a reason this talk page is locked to "users with sysop privileges" only? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:I suspect it was to deal with a past spam or vandal problem. I've lowered it to "registered user" level. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== Caching ==

Is anyone else finding the recent (July 31) vandalism on the front page coming up instead of the latest (reverted) version? I suspect I'm hitting a caching mechanism somewhere between here and Wikia, Inc. but I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 21:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:If in doubt, go to [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central?action=purge this URL] to clear the cache. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Alphabetically by *first* name rather than last? ==

People should only be listed according to their first name if they have no given surname. Basic encylopedia rules. And yet I see Fox McCloud under F, Bucky O'Hare under B, and so on and so forth. Any particular reason for this? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:That's their rules. That's not our rules. :-)

:Many people in the fandom are known under one name, or worse, might have a two-word name but only be commonly known under the firest, so people looking for the first name might not see them. There are few cases where people are better known by their second names - in the cases you gave, people know both their first and second names - so why order by them? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

::Um, so, in other words, you're doing it for the benefit of people who don't know how to properly navigate an encyclopedia? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::Eh, my apologies if that sounded harsh. This is just a serious pet peeve of mine. - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::We're doing it for the benefit of users generally. As I see it, the main reason for sorting people by their last names in regular encyclopedias is that people are generally better-known by their last name, or their last name is important because grouping people by family is important (really two sides of the same coin - in both cases, the objective is easier searching or browsing by last name).

:::The furry fandom is a community where people tend to be better known to one another by their first names than their last (e.g. [[Deyna T. Otter]], [[Flinthoof Ponypal]], [[Kaijima A. Frostfang]] - and we also have a '''large''' proportion of people with just one name, or with an InterCapped name like my own). Our articles about people tend to be about these people (as opposed to "external" people, like [[memoryalpha:Talk:People|Star Trek]]). A sign of this is that we tend to refer to people by their first names throughout articles, even if they are "real" people (e.g. [[Mark Merlino]], [[Rod O'Riley]]). The number of people with the same last name is very small, and those that are related to one another will usually link to each other (and since wiki is not paper, you don't have to turn lots of pages to get there). Therefore, it seems better to consistently sort by their well-known first name rather than by a last name which they may or may not have, and which people may or may not know.

:::All other categories are sorted in this manner, so that means we have a self-consistent categorization system. It also happens to make the lives of editors easier, as they don't have to add reordering tags to 1500+ pages about people (and you know people would forget, or not know how to do it, resulting in pages that are ordered incorrectly).

:::The main place in which it seems sensible to reorder is when part of their "name" is an honorific, like [[Uncle Kage]] - people would probably expect to find him sorted under Kage rather than Uncle, especially since his "real" nickname is Kagemushi Goro. There are cases (usually with nicknames) in which this might not be the case, like [[Doctor Fennopolis]] or [[Lord Foxhole]]. Again, the ultimate criteria to make it easier to find people, which is the same reason we have the article name be the most common name (especially if people forget to add redirects from alternate names, as often happens).

:::Regarding your specific point: A '''lot''' of people don't know how to "properly" navigate an encyclopedia. Why should we make their lives harder for the sake of a convention that doesn't apply to our group? Being able to tweak the rules to suit our community is one of the benefits of having a separate wiki in the first place, after all. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 09:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Site display problems ==
It would appear that the new featured wikis strip on the right side of the page is messing up the layout. It's making the navigation strip appear a lot lower than the WikiFur logo, leaving about 400 pixels of space between them. This doesn't happen on all entries, just in some.

Any clue if that can be fixed?--[[User:Kitsune Sniper|Kitsune Sniper]] 22:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:We're discussing the problem on the #wikia IRC channel right now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

== Featured article length ==

I think the featured article and comic as displayed on [[WikiFur Furry Central]] should be shorter. On the displays I use (reasonaly large, with a browser window taking up a good portion of the screen) the featured comic is "below the fold" and easy to miss without scrolling. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

:Just raise your resolution. It's never been too far down for me. --[[User:Akir|Akir]] 23:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::Some users are, alas, unable to do that. The situation is improving, but 800x600 users still make up 6.4% of our user base, and 47.4% use 1024x786. We need to consider how the site will look to them. The most obvious improvement would be to remove the "WikiFur Furry Central" at the top, or shift the content up to cover it, as [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia does]]. I will investigate that possibility. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

== 21st Century Fox was already featured. ==

Other than that, I before saw the page featuring FA's article. So, any idea what's going on with the main page? --[[User:Shadow Fox|Shadow Fox]]

:It was set back to this time last year because there were no conclusive decisions on front page content. If you are interested in what happens on the main page, I suggest contributing to [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates]], [[WikiFur:Comic of the Week]] and [[WikiFur:Featured picture candidates]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Laaaaag ==

Is it just me, or has all of WikiFur been unreasonably slow lately? I've noticed very slow load times for a few days now. [[User:Immelmann|Immelmann]] 18:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:There ''have'' been recent performance problems, some due to the [[Special:Version|move to Version 1.12alpha]], and some not. Wikia is working on improving this situation, but I'm afraid that due to the holidays it will probably not be completely solved until January. Should give you plenty of time to write some original content, though. ;-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Megaplex variety show ==

Megaplex has had a variety show since at least 2004 (MP3). The featured article seems to suggest otherwise. The whole ending part of the featured article text seems to have been added on (it is not from the original article) and I question its accuracy. [[User:Wag|Wag!]] 13:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

== "Upcoming events" and nationalities ==

Approaching this issue with due apprehension, since it frequently causes huge arguments on Wikipedia... how come, in the "Upcoming events" section, RBW and ConFuzzled are given British flags, but ScotiaCon is given a Scottish one? For consistency's sake, either they should all be given UK flags (which would be my preference) or RBW and ConFuzzled should have English flags. Given that the UK includes Scotland, it's inconsistent to have it as it is at the moment. [[User:Loganberry|Loganberry]] ([[User talk:Loganberry|Talk]]) 20:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, that's what you get with devolution! ;-)
:My reasoning was that Scotiacon is designed only to attract furs from Scotland, while RBW and ConFuzzled are intended to draw people from the whole of the UK (it wouldn't be RBW with just white and red . . .). However, if you feel the Scottish flag is inappropriate, feel free to change it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== I have to refresh every page... ==

Why is it that I have to refresh every page or else it looks like it did the last time I visited it? Sometimes it says I'm not logged in when I really am. Is there a fix for this?... Mrperson777 11:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
:Not at the moment, no. Wikifur has had a caching issue for a while that's being worked on, but no fix has been implemented as of yet. [[User:Silver seren|Silver]][[User talk:Silver seren|seren]][[Special:Contributions/Silver seren|C]] 17:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Well that ain't right... ==
Dunno if this is a browser issue or not, but the front page seems to be lacking in pictures. (They're showing up as broken links) [[User:Dreaming|Dreaming]] 23:57, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== Time for a new set of featured stuff? ==

The featured article and featured comic haven't changed for at least as long as I've had an account here, and I've had an account here for a while. Time for a change, maybe? [[User:Fluffy|fluffy]] 00:52, 27 August 2012 (EDT)
:Feel free to change them! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:24, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== Template changed, main page didn't? ==

I edited the Upcoming Events template and the update shows on the template page, but not on the main page. I feel like I had this problem with MediaWiki once before and the resolution was that the main page must be edited to re-pull the template pages. Or does it do that automatically on some kind of schedule? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Timoran|Timoran]] ([[User talk:Timoran|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Timoran|contribs]]) .
:This can happen if the page is cached. Add ?action=purge to the URL and load the resulting page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:23, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== UK Furry Convention Flags ==

Relating to what was said about Scotiacon having a Scottish flag while the other UK furry conventions have a UK flag, speaking as a Scottish fur myself I feel that for consistency's sake all the UK fur cons should have the same flag as each other. I think it is inappropriate for Scotiacon to have the Scottish flag instead of the UK flag when many of the convention's attendees come from other parts of the UK as well. Would it be possible to change the flag next to Scotiacon to a UK flag like it is with ConFuzzled and Just Fur The Weekend? - FreyFox.

:Sure, I've made this change, per this and the [[#Upcoming events" and nationalities|prior discussion]]. We can keep that flag around in case it's needed later. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:04, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

== Wikifur needs full-time editors ==
I have been on here for several years, and the quality of the content on WikiFur is STILL the same way it was 5 years ago. There are stub articles about people, books, and characters that literally haven't been improved on for quite some time. What would solve this problem is by hiring full-time contributors that are willing to seek out information and add, edit, or clean up articles related to that information.{{unsigned|‎47.197.98.36}}
:[[WikiFur:What WikiFur is|WikiFur is]] a community-driven project by and for furries. We create and enforce policy by [[WikiFur:Consensus|community consensus]]. It's a passion project, and hiring an influx of Ivory Tower outsiders would muddy that. The best way to help fix up stubs is to expand them yourself if you know more, or find someone who does know more. (Typically stubs are created because it contains the sum of all the person who created it knows!)

:Besides, [[WikiFur:Sponsors|many of us are supporting the site out of our own pockets]]. In the past we've had [[User:Rat/Wikifur art drive|paid incentives]] for editors, but where would we get the resources to hire multiple full time employees, with [https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/hire-retain-employees/hire-your-first-employee all that requires? (US-specific link)]. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 10:21, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

:WikiFur derives far more from volunteer effort than it could get through paid effort - and as Equivamp notes, [[Wikipedia:Larry Sanger#Nupedia and Wikipedia|mixing the two can be problematic]], to say the least. Say there were 625 edits - [[stats:EN/TablesWikiFurEN.htm#wikipedians|roughly what we had in the last 30 days]] - and each took an average of ten minutes. One estimate for this level of activity - roughly four months of full-time work - is $9,000/year at minimum wage - but doubling that might be more realistic (it is a skilled role, and there are additional costs to employment over salary). Now, let's not forget the cost of paying the technicians - [[Timduru]] and myself - $9k each ''might'' get a month from us both at contract rates, if you're lucky. Now we're talking close to $40k, to reproduce what we have; only it doesn't - we benefit from the perspective and experiences of the entire community. Best to keep money out of it. The closest to this happening in real life is [[Courtney "Nuka" Plante|Nuka]] (and others) from the [[Anthropomorphic Research Project]] getting a grant to study furries and make a website for it, providing technical information about the fandom which would be hard to obtain otherwise (which may then be summarized here and in news articles). Other than that, if you think topics are under-served, '''be bold''' and make coverage happen! Just remember, you're writing for the benefit of the community, not the subject of the article - so try to temper your enthusiasm with objectivity. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:37, 14 April 2018 (EDT)

== Wikifur needs to allow the full synopsis of books to be written ==
Whenever I go on articles about books related to the furry fandom, I see... a plot summary. Nothing else. Why WikiFur seems to be discouraging or even prohibiting the publication of story information beyond the plot summary is beyond me. Whenever I actually tried to add in information about Eric M. Deal's "A Fox Tail", the synopsis section was removed, and that happened every time I tried to add it back in. As a wiki, isn't it the responsibility of WikiFur to actually document these books, instead of just worrying about potential readers being spoiled? Even books documented on Wikipedia and Wikia wikis have complete synopsis information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Realandyisepic|Realandyisepic]] ([[User talk:Realandyisepic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Realandyisepic|contribs]]) 11:03, 7 June 2017 (EDT).
:To me, it looks like you were only adding empty synopsis sections, which were removed for being blank rather than because it was a synopsis section. --[[User:V. CA|V. CA]] ([[User talk:V. CA|talk]]) 11:13, 7 June 2017 (EDT)
• I was actually leaving them blank on purpose in the hopes that someone who has actually read the book would fill in the information. Even though those sections were not filled, they should still remain in the article to reduce the amount of time editing.
FURTHER INFO: I'm trying to say that there should be sections in the articles on books that should be required, no matter if there is information or not.
:You might want to try actually discussing the edits with which you take issue on the [[User talk:Spirou|talk page of the person making them]]. We do have [[Template:Empty section|a template]] available for similar situations of sections you feel should be added but don't know enough about to start. It's not really fair for that editor to [[WF:AGF|assume]] their motivations for removing the sections, though.

== Add some artists? ==

I just wanted to know if someone could add the artists [[fasttrack37d]], [[Oselotti]], and [[Hornbuckle]] if they haven't been already. I'm not good at making pages, so I can't do it. I also don't know if they're good enough to be added. Thanks!

== Questions about the Furry Fandom ==

Open questions about the Furry Fandom to the Parents:
If you are in your computer and you have a question, type (CTRL + F) and search your question.

If your answer isn't in this list, try contacting us.
Any other user that want to contribute on this section by doing a question and answering for yourselves, we would really aprecciate it!

Observation: This is a fresh new section on the WikiFur, so a lot of these questions might be not with your answer.

'''What is a furry?'''
A furry is somebody who likes anthropomorphism. That's what it mostly boils down to.

'''Why do furries wear fursuits?'''
Because they want to represent their character physically, they want to share them with other people, and they want to perform as them.
That's only a few of the reasons.

'''Do furries identify themselves as animals?'''
Some furries do; others simply like anthropomorphic animals.

'''What is the fandom about?'''
A lot of things; it depends on who you ask. Some might say it is about fursuiting and having fun, others might say it is about consuming anthro media.

'''What does it mean to be a furry?'''
It means what you want it to mean. Do you like cartoons? Watching them is what you might think of what being a furry means to you. The list is endless!

'''What is a fursona?'''
A fursona is a furry character that somebody might represent themselves or identify this. You could have one, or many!

'''Are mascots furries?'''
Some might be; others might not. If a mascot identifies as a furry, then that's brilliant! Though not all mascots are furries.

'''How can you tell the difference between a mascot costume and a fursuit?'''
A fursuit is handmade, and only made one at a time, but a mascot costume might be made in a factory or in bulk.

'''Is it okay to have two fursonas?'''
Certainly! You can have an infinite number of fursonas, but good luck keeping track of them!

'''What do furries do?'''
The love animals and anthropomorphism, which means they do things like play games and watch films featuring such things.

'''What is the average age of a furry?'''
Furries vary in age, but a lot of them are young in their 20s or 30s.

'''How many furries are there?'''
Estimates vary, but it might be around in the 10,000s.

'''How much does a fursuit cost?'''
A simple fursuit head might cost about 100 dollars or pounds, but really high-quality one will reach into the 1,000s.

'''What is the biggest furry convention?'''
Midwest Fur Fest is at the top with an attendance of 11,019 in 2019, followed by Anthrocon with 9,358 and Biggest Little Fur Con with 5,692.

'''How much does a furry convention costs?'''
The cost to attend a convention will vary, having included the cost to attend, the travel fee and any gifts bought. You can expect it to be in the hundreds.

'''What you need to make a fursuit?'''
Check the [[Fursuit]] article. The materials are too numerous to list here.

'''What is a partial fursuit?'''
A partial fursuit is a suit consisting of only a head, paws or claws and a tail, having human clothes rather than a furry bodysuit.

'''How old do you have to be to go to a furry convention?'''
It varies based on the convention. A lot of conventions are for all ages.

'''What does "anthropomorphic" mean?'''
Simply an animal with human features and intelligence.

'''Do all furries dress up in fursuits?'''
Not all of them. Nowhere near. Don't let that discourage you from getting one of your own!

'''Where can I get a fursuit?'''
You can search for individual creators, or make one yourself. Wikifur has an extensive list of fursuit studios, or you can go on one of many commission sites, also documented by Wikifur, to find the best creator for you.

'''How can I meet other furries?'''
You can go to forums and social networks, or meet some people at a convention. [[Reddit]] is a good site to meet furries on.

'''How many furries own fursuits?'''
About 5%-20% of furries. The figure is disputed.

'''What interests do furries have?'''
Just about anything you might be interested in yourself! The Furry Fandom is special, as it is not bound to a specific genre!

'''Does being in a furry convention dangerous?'''
No. Conventions are safe because most furries are pretty friendly people, and the convention staff are there to help in case anything bad happens.

== Where do I go to view the Furry specific holidays throughout the year? ==

I've been a furry for 5, nearly 6 years, so I'm not new, but I have no clue where to go to view the furry specific holidays that happen throughout the like (as of writing) national vore day.

I'm unsure where to ask, I was wondering if it was on this website, but after some time of searching, it seems to be the case that there is no page about this.

Possibly add and make a page about the holidays?

- Beed

my fursona is a fox-wolf-cat-dog and it looks like a fox but people are alwase asking me of its a cat cus it has a cat tail......but my fursona is named carrot haha....................

== Fix the Did You Know? Section ==

We need to fix the Did You Know? section on the main page. I checked, and I don't think it has been updated or changed since 2017.
As a side note, we may need to update some of our pages. I have noticed that even pretty notable articles, even ones like the Furry Fandom itself, are quite old. Is there a template to denote if an article is Work In Progress or outdated?

So, I'm becoming more and more attached to the furry fandom and its community. I found this place from youtube and it seems like this place will be really friggin cool. But I don't know what exactly people do here, so I was hoping and wondering if anyone can give me some pointers, tips, et-cetra. Any info with be rewarded with a grateful comment and virtual hugz.

:What people do here is quite simple: This is a wiki related to all things Furry. You can go edit any page! Have a start by typing in to the search box whatever you might be interested in or want to know about, and have a look to see if you can contribute, whether that be fixing a grammatical error or adding an entirely new section. Take a look at your User Page and tell us a bit about yourself there! Have fun! --[[User:SonicFish|SonicFish]] ([[User talk:SonicFish|talk]]) 09:42, 28 May 2020 (EDT)

Talk:WikiFur Furry Central

2020-05-28T07:10:30Z

SonicFish: /* Questions about the Furry Fandom */ Answered more questions.

I have protected [[WikiFur Central]], as it is clear that otherwise it's going to continue to get vandalised. You can still edit each section on this page, and I encourage you to do so (assuming you don't intend to vandalise it! :-). However, you must learn how to use templates, first. This will require reading through the [[Help:Contents|help]] and the guide linked from there. Consider this a small competence test before you can edit the first thing people see when they surf here! If you still can't figure it out and want something changed, let me know on user talk or externally, and I can see what I can do.

If you have an idea for a better layout of this page (one which ''cannot'' be easily changed through the templates), please construct it somewhere first, and then let myself or another [[Project:Administrators|administrator]] know. I'm sorry for tdbnvbhdhe lack of flexibility here, but sometimes protection is a necessary evil.

Happy editing! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 09:23, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Moving to WikiFur Furry Central ==

I've moved the main page because it turns out that not actually having "Furry" in the name of the main page is a signifcant downer in terms of search optimization strategies. Hopefully this should bring us a little more traffic. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 01:15, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Gotcha! ==

I logged on this morning and thought I was going to have to hunt down and revert a bunch of edits, before I remembered what day it was. Good one! --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Help us improve ==
I vote that the "Help us improve" bar be moved to the top of the right column; otherwise, I think it's not as easily seen when sandwiched between two larger articles. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:You're right - it's not as easily seen that way. However, I tried that to start with, and I thought that it spoiled the look somewhat when it is was put there, because the Did you know? section gets shifted down one (the uneven headers look bad).

:It does give me an idea, though. Originally, we had a "wanted pages" section below the new bar, and above. It got removed because stuff was staying on there too long and it was a pain to update. Still, it was in a good place for attention.

:How about we put all of the furpile articles into an expanded "To be improved" category (maybe just by asking people to write a very short stub of them and putting it in stubs), and then use the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList DynamicPageList extension] (already installed) and a [http://alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ modified list style] to display it in a similar way to the other lists? That way there's more chance that people will have something that they can improve on a given day, and articles get more than one chance at improvement. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:We might even be able to swing [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList2 DynamicPageList2], which would remove the need for many of the hacks, allow us to include more categories and allow a better ordering for this particular use. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

::I considered suggesting that the wanted bar be replaced, heh. And with my OCD tendencies, I'd certainly offer to take updating the wanted bar as one of my "jobs". [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Ideally, this would be something that was self-maintaining (like the newbar ''should'' be). If that doesn't work out then yes, someone updating it would work as well. I want to try and let people spend as much time on writing articles as possible, if possible. '''*grin*''' --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== New layout? ==
I'm not a terribly big fan of the new layout...but I'm going to assume it's still under construction, seeing as how there are 3 columns on the left and only 1 on the right -- which I have now fixed. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 20:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:I would rather have three on the left and both upcoming events and something else that works well in a small width on the right.

:Anything specifically that you don't like about it? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

::The 3-1 column right now makes the page lopsided and too long, in my opinion (unless future featured articles/DYK? are going to have less content). I also don't like the shortened bars - with long titles like "Help us improve" and "New categories", you can really only see 2-4 items at the most. But if that's the only way to prevent problems on other browsers, I can deal. ;)
:: Also, should the "Admins - Help" part at the top be centered on the second line, or else the text made smaller so it all fits on one line? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I put a link to Community Central in the main header, and since the new/newcat bars are featured in full there, perhaps they should be removed from the front page? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 00:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks good, GR. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 08:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. I would still like to get the new pages on there somehow. Do users click them, though? I would have thought so, but I don't know for sure . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

::Personally, I think it mostly served the purpose of showing "Hey, WikiFur's updating new articles all the time" rather than inducing people to click on them (unless they saw something they related to). Plus, most new pages are tagged as stubs, so they'll get picked up on the Furpile bar as well. I think it looks fine without the newbars on the main page. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 09:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Article of the ____ ==
Perhaps we should just have "Featured article" and "Featured comic", rather than specifying a time period? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 05:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed, so long as we don't update them regularly. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 05:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::I think this just means that we (me? :-) shouldn't be so lazy in featuring stuff! The trouble is I get occupied with other tasks and never seem to get an uninterrupted block of time to choose and write up something. :-/ --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Protected talk page ==

Is there a reason this talk page is locked to "users with sysop privileges" only? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:I suspect it was to deal with a past spam or vandal problem. I've lowered it to "registered user" level. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== Caching ==

Is anyone else finding the recent (July 31) vandalism on the front page coming up instead of the latest (reverted) version? I suspect I'm hitting a caching mechanism somewhere between here and Wikia, Inc. but I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 21:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:If in doubt, go to [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central?action=purge this URL] to clear the cache. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Alphabetically by *first* name rather than last? ==

People should only be listed according to their first name if they have no given surname. Basic encylopedia rules. And yet I see Fox McCloud under F, Bucky O'Hare under B, and so on and so forth. Any particular reason for this? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:That's their rules. That's not our rules. :-)

:Many people in the fandom are known under one name, or worse, might have a two-word name but only be commonly known under the firest, so people looking for the first name might not see them. There are few cases where people are better known by their second names - in the cases you gave, people know both their first and second names - so why order by them? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

::Um, so, in other words, you're doing it for the benefit of people who don't know how to properly navigate an encyclopedia? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::Eh, my apologies if that sounded harsh. This is just a serious pet peeve of mine. - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::We're doing it for the benefit of users generally. As I see it, the main reason for sorting people by their last names in regular encyclopedias is that people are generally better-known by their last name, or their last name is important because grouping people by family is important (really two sides of the same coin - in both cases, the objective is easier searching or browsing by last name).

:::The furry fandom is a community where people tend to be better known to one another by their first names than their last (e.g. [[Deyna T. Otter]], [[Flinthoof Ponypal]], [[Kaijima A. Frostfang]] - and we also have a '''large''' proportion of people with just one name, or with an InterCapped name like my own). Our articles about people tend to be about these people (as opposed to "external" people, like [[memoryalpha:Talk:People|Star Trek]]). A sign of this is that we tend to refer to people by their first names throughout articles, even if they are "real" people (e.g. [[Mark Merlino]], [[Rod O'Riley]]). The number of people with the same last name is very small, and those that are related to one another will usually link to each other (and since wiki is not paper, you don't have to turn lots of pages to get there). Therefore, it seems better to consistently sort by their well-known first name rather than by a last name which they may or may not have, and which people may or may not know.

:::All other categories are sorted in this manner, so that means we have a self-consistent categorization system. It also happens to make the lives of editors easier, as they don't have to add reordering tags to 1500+ pages about people (and you know people would forget, or not know how to do it, resulting in pages that are ordered incorrectly).

:::The main place in which it seems sensible to reorder is when part of their "name" is an honorific, like [[Uncle Kage]] - people would probably expect to find him sorted under Kage rather than Uncle, especially since his "real" nickname is Kagemushi Goro. There are cases (usually with nicknames) in which this might not be the case, like [[Doctor Fennopolis]] or [[Lord Foxhole]]. Again, the ultimate criteria to make it easier to find people, which is the same reason we have the article name be the most common name (especially if people forget to add redirects from alternate names, as often happens).

:::Regarding your specific point: A '''lot''' of people don't know how to "properly" navigate an encyclopedia. Why should we make their lives harder for the sake of a convention that doesn't apply to our group? Being able to tweak the rules to suit our community is one of the benefits of having a separate wiki in the first place, after all. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 09:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Site display problems ==
It would appear that the new featured wikis strip on the right side of the page is messing up the layout. It's making the navigation strip appear a lot lower than the WikiFur logo, leaving about 400 pixels of space between them. This doesn't happen on all entries, just in some.

http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/4934/wikifurb0rkenaf4.png (No ads, all blocked due to Adblock)

At first, I thought it was due to Adblock, but it seems to happen when it's deactivated as well.

http://img445.imageshack.us/img445/6786/wikifurb0rken2gd9.png (Adblock disabled)

Any clue if that can be fixed?--[[User:Kitsune Sniper|Kitsune Sniper]] 22:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:We're discussing the problem on the #wikia IRC channel right now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

== Featured article length ==

I think the featured article and comic as displayed on [[WikiFur Furry Central]] should be shorter. On the displays I use (reasonaly large, with a browser window taking up a good portion of the screen) the featured comic is "below the fold" and easy to miss without scrolling. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

:Just raise your resolution. It's never been too far down for me. --[[User:Akir|Akir]] 23:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::Some users are, alas, unable to do that. The situation is improving, but 800x600 users still make up 6.4% of our user base, and 47.4% use 1024x786. We need to consider how the site will look to them. The most obvious improvement would be to remove the "WikiFur Furry Central" at the top, or shift the content up to cover it, as [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia does]]. I will investigate that possibility. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:::Have tested, now waiting on a Wikia CSS fix so that the thing I want to do will work on IE7. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

::::End result - 3 more lines of content gained removing the header on the front page, so it moves up automatically. This will be possible to do with CSS in MediaWiki 1.9 - for now, it will only work for people with Javascript enabled. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

== It's all broken! ==

The featured article, featured comic and featured image sections are all not appearing correctly. --[[User:Robomilk|Tori Belliachi]] 00:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== 21st Century Fox was already featured. ==

Other than that, I before saw the page featuring FA's article. So, any idea what's going on with the main page? --[[User:Shadow Fox|Shadow Fox]]

:It was set back to this time last year because there were no conclusive decisions on front page content. If you are interested in what happens on the main page, I suggest contributing to [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates]], [[WikiFur:Comic of the Week]] and [[WikiFur:Featured picture candidates]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Laaaaag ==

Is it just me, or has all of WikiFur been unreasonably slow lately? I've noticed very slow load times for a few days now. [[User:Immelmann|Immelmann]] 18:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:There ''have'' been recent performance problems, some due to the [[Special:Version|move to Version 1.12alpha]], and some not. Wikia is working on improving this situation, but I'm afraid that due to the holidays it will probably not be completely solved until January. Should give you plenty of time to write some original content, though. ;-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Megaplex variety show ==

Megaplex has had a variety show since at least 2004 (MP3). The featured article seems to suggest otherwise. The whole ending part of the featured article text seems to have been added on (it is not from the original article) and I question its accuracy. [[User:Wag|Wag!]] 13:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

== "Upcoming events" and nationalities ==

Approaching this issue with due apprehension, since it frequently causes huge arguments on Wikipedia... how come, in the "Upcoming events" section, RBW and ConFuzzled are given British flags, but ScotiaCon is given a Scottish one? For consistency's sake, either they should all be given UK flags (which would be my preference) or RBW and ConFuzzled should have English flags. Given that the UK includes Scotland, it's inconsistent to have it as it is at the moment. [[User:Loganberry|Loganberry]] ([[User talk:Loganberry|Talk]]) 20:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, that's what you get with devolution! ;-)
:My reasoning was that Scotiacon is designed only to attract furs from Scotland, while RBW and ConFuzzled are intended to draw people from the whole of the UK (it wouldn't be RBW with just white and red . . .). However, if you feel the Scottish flag is inappropriate, feel free to change it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== I have to refresh every page... ==

Why is it that I have to refresh every page or else it looks like it did the last time I visited it? Sometimes it says I'm not logged in when I really am. Is there a fix for this?... Mrperson777 11:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
:Not at the moment, no. Wikifur has had a caching issue for a while that's being worked on, but no fix has been implemented as of yet. [[User:Silver seren|Silver]][[User talk:Silver seren|seren]][[Special:Contributions/Silver seren|C]] 17:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Well that ain't right... ==
Dunno if this is a browser issue or not, but the front page seems to be lacking in pictures. (They're showing up as broken links) [[User:Dreaming|Dreaming]] 23:57, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== Time for a new set of featured stuff? ==

The featured article and featured comic haven't changed for at least as long as I've had an account here, and I've had an account here for a while. Time for a change, maybe? [[User:Fluffy|fluffy]] 00:52, 27 August 2012 (EDT)
:Feel free to change them! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:24, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== Template changed, main page didn't? ==

I edited the Upcoming Events template and the update shows on the template page, but not on the main page. I feel like I had this problem with MediaWiki once before and the resolution was that the main page must be edited to re-pull the template pages. Or does it do that automatically on some kind of schedule? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Timoran|Timoran]] ([[User talk:Timoran|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Timoran|contribs]]) .
:This can happen if the page is cached. Add ?action=purge to the URL and load the resulting page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:23, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== UK Furry Convention Flags ==

Relating to what was said about Scotiacon having a Scottish flag while the other UK furry conventions have a UK flag, speaking as a Scottish fur myself I feel that for consistency's sake all the UK fur cons should have the same flag as each other. I think it is inappropriate for Scotiacon to have the Scottish flag instead of the UK flag when many of the convention's attendees come from other parts of the UK as well. Would it be possible to change the flag next to Scotiacon to a UK flag like it is with ConFuzzled and Just Fur The Weekend? - FreyFox.

:Sure, I've made this change, per this and the [[#Upcoming events" and nationalities|prior discussion]]. We can keep that flag around in case it's needed later. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:04, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

== Come out loud and proud ==

== Wikifur needs full-time editors ==
I have been on here for several years, and the quality of the content on WikiFur is STILL the same way it was 5 years ago. There are stub articles about people, books, and characters that literally haven't been improved on for quite some time. What would solve this problem is by hiring full-time contributors that are willing to seek out information and add, edit, or clean up articles related to that information.{{unsigned|‎47.197.98.36}}
:[[WikiFur:What WikiFur is|WikiFur is]] a community-driven project by and for furries. We create and enforce policy by [[WikiFur:Consensus|community consensus]]. It's a passion project, and hiring an influx of Ivory Tower outsiders would muddy that. The best way to help fix up stubs is to expand them yourself if you know more, or find someone who does know more. (Typically stubs are created because it contains the sum of all the person who created it knows!)

:Besides, [[WikiFur:Sponsors|many of us are supporting the site out of our own pockets]]. In the past we've had [[User:Rat/Wikifur art drive|paid incentives]] for editors, but where would we get the resources to hire multiple full time employees, with [https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/hire-retain-employees/hire-your-first-employee all that requires? (US-specific link)]. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 10:21, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

:WikiFur derives far more from volunteer effort than it could get through paid effort - and as Equivamp notes, [[Wikipedia:Larry Sanger#Nupedia and Wikipedia|mixing the two can be problematic]], to say the least. Say there were 625 edits - [[stats:EN/TablesWikiFurEN.htm#wikipedians|roughly what we had in the last 30 days]] - and each took an average of ten minutes. One estimate for this level of activity - roughly four months of full-time work - is $9,000/year at minimum wage - but doubling that might be more realistic (it is a skilled role, and there are additional costs to employment over salary). Now, let's not forget the cost of paying the technicians - [[Timduru]] and myself - $9k each ''might'' get a month from us both at contract rates, if you're lucky. Now we're talking close to $40k, to reproduce what we have; only it doesn't - we benefit from the perspective and experiences of the entire community. Best to keep money out of it. The closest to this happening in real life is [[Courtney "Nuka" Plante|Nuka]] (and others) from the [[Anthropomorphic Research Project]] getting a grant to study furries and make a website for it, providing technical information about the fandom which would be hard to obtain otherwise (which may then be summarized here and in news articles). Other than that, if you think topics are under-served, '''be bold''' and make coverage happen! Just remember, you're writing for the benefit of the community, not the subject of the article - so try to temper your enthusiasm with objectivity. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:37, 14 April 2018 (EDT)

== Wikifur needs to allow the full synopsis of books to be written ==
Whenever I go on articles about books related to the furry fandom, I see... a plot summary. Nothing else. Why WikiFur seems to be discouraging or even prohibiting the publication of story information beyond the plot summary is beyond me. Whenever I actually tried to add in information about Eric M. Deal's "A Fox Tail", the synopsis section was removed, and that happened every time I tried to add it back in. As a wiki, isn't it the responsibility of WikiFur to actually document these books, instead of just worrying about potential readers being spoiled? Even books documented on Wikipedia and Wikia wikis have complete synopsis information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Realandyisepic|Realandyisepic]] ([[User talk:Realandyisepic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Realandyisepic|contribs]]) 11:03, 7 June 2017 (EDT).
:To me, it looks like you were only adding empty synopsis sections, which were removed for being blank rather than because it was a synopsis section. --[[User:V. CA|V. CA]] ([[User talk:V. CA|talk]]) 11:13, 7 June 2017 (EDT)
• I was actually leaving them blank on purpose in the hopes that someone who has actually read the book would fill in the information. Even though those sections were not filled, they should still remain in the article to reduce the amount of time editing.
FURTHER INFO: I'm trying to say that there should be sections in the articles on books that should be required, no matter if there is information or not.
:You might want to try actually discussing the edits with which you take issue on the [[User talk:Spirou|talk page of the person making them]]. We do have [[Template:Empty section|a template]] available for similar situations of sections you feel should be added but don't know enough about to start. It's not really fair for that editor to [[WF:AGF|assume]] their motivations for removing the sections, though.
:Also, the [[Forum:Watercooler|Watercooler]] might be a better place for these discussions in the future. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 11:52, 7 June 2017 (EDT)

== Add some artists? ==

I just wanted to know if someone could add the artists [[fasttrack37d]], [[Oselotti]], and [[Hornbuckle]] if they haven't been already. I'm not good at making pages, so I can't do it. I also don't know if they're good enough to be added. Thanks!

== Questions about the Furry Fandom ==

Open questions about the Furry Fandom to the Parents:
If you are in your computer and you have a question, type (CTRL + F) and search your question.

If your answer isn't in this list, try contacting us.
Any other user that want to contribute on this section by doing a question and answering for yourselves, we would really aprecciate it!

Observation: This is a fresh new section on the WikiFur, so a lot of these questions might be not with your answer.

'''What is a furry?'''
A furry is somebody who likes anthropomorphism. That's what it mostly boils down to.

'''Why do furries wear fursuits?'''
Because they want to represent their character physically, they want to share them with other people, and they want to perform as them.
That's only a few of the reasons.

'''Do furries identify themselves as animals?'''
Some furries do; others simply like anthropomorphic animals.

'''What is the fandom about?'''
A lot of things; it depends on who you ask. Some might say it is about fursuiting and having fun, others might say it is about consuming anthro media.

'''What does it mean to be a furry?'''
It means what you want it to mean. Do you like cartoons? Watching them is what you might think of what being a furry means to you. The list is endless!

'''What is a fursona?'''
A fursona is a furry character that somebody might represent themselves or identify this. You could have one, or many!

'''Are mascots furries?'''
Some might be; others might not. If a mascot identifies as a furry, then that's brilliant! Though not all mascots are furries.

'''How can you tell the difference between a mascot costume and a fursuit?'''
A fursuit is handmade, and only made one at a time, but a mascot costume might be made in a factory or in bulk.

'''Is it okay to have two fursonas?'''
Certainly! You can have an infinite number of fursonas, but good luck keeping track of them!

'''What do furries do?'''
The love animals and anthropomorphism, which means they do things like play games and watch films featuring such things.

'''What is the average age of a furry?'''
Furries vary in age, but a lot of them are young in their 20s or 30s.

'''How many furries are there?'''

'''How much does a fursuit cost?'''

'''What is the biggest furry convention?'''

'''How much does a furry convention costs?'''

'''What you need to make a fursuit?'''

'''What is a partial fursuit?'''

'''How old do you have to be to go to a furry convention?'''

'''What does "anthropomorphic" means?'''

'''Do all furries dress up in fursuits?'''

'''Where can I get a fursuit?'''

'''How can I meet other furries?'''

'''How many furries own fursuits?'''

'''What interests do furries have?'''

'''Does being in a furry convention dangerous?'''

I've been a furry for 5, nearly 6 years, so I'm not new, but I have no clue where to go to view the furry specific holidays that happen throughout the like (as of writing) national vore day.

I'm unsure where to ask, I was wondering if it was on this website, but after some time of searching, it seems to be the case that there is no page about this.

Possibly add and make a page about the holidays?

- Beed

my fursona is a fox-wolf-cat-dog and it looks like a fox but people are alwase asking me of its a cat cus it has a cat tail......but my fursona is named carrot haha....................

== Fix the Did You Know? Section ==

We need to fix the Did You Know? section on the main page. I checked, and I don't think it has been updated or changed since 2017.
As a side note, we may need to update some of our pages. I have noticed that even pretty notable articles, even ones like the Furry Fandom itself, are quite old. Is there a template to denote if an article is Work In Progress or outdated?

Talk:WikiFur Furry Central

2020-05-27T19:36:17Z

SonicFish: /* Questions about the Furry Fandom */ Answered some of the questions.

I have protected [[WikiFur Central]], as it is clear that otherwise it's going to continue to get vandalised. You can still edit each section on this page, and I encourage you to do so (assuming you don't intend to vandalise it! :-). However, you must learn how to use templates, first. This will require reading through the [[Help:Contents|help]] and the guide linked from there. Consider this a small competence test before you can edit the first thing people see when they surf here! If you still can't figure it out and want something changed, let me know on user talk or externally, and I can see what I can do.

If you have an idea for a better layout of this page (one which ''cannot'' be easily changed through the templates), please construct it somewhere first, and then let myself or another [[Project:Administrators|administrator]] know. I'm sorry for tdbnvbhdhe lack of flexibility here, but sometimes protection is a necessary evil.

Happy editing! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 09:23, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Moving to WikiFur Furry Central ==

I've moved the main page because it turns out that not actually having "Furry" in the name of the main page is a signifcant downer in terms of search optimization strategies. Hopefully this should bring us a little more traffic. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 01:15, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Gotcha! ==

I logged on this morning and thought I was going to have to hunt down and revert a bunch of edits, before I remembered what day it was. Good one! --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Help us improve ==
I vote that the "Help us improve" bar be moved to the top of the right column; otherwise, I think it's not as easily seen when sandwiched between two larger articles. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:You're right - it's not as easily seen that way. However, I tried that to start with, and I thought that it spoiled the look somewhat when it is was put there, because the Did you know? section gets shifted down one (the uneven headers look bad).

:It does give me an idea, though. Originally, we had a "wanted pages" section below the new bar, and above. It got removed because stuff was staying on there too long and it was a pain to update. Still, it was in a good place for attention.

:How about we put all of the furpile articles into an expanded "To be improved" category (maybe just by asking people to write a very short stub of them and putting it in stubs), and then use the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList DynamicPageList extension] (already installed) and a [http://alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ modified list style] to display it in a similar way to the other lists? That way there's more chance that people will have something that they can improve on a given day, and articles get more than one chance at improvement. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:We might even be able to swing [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DynamicPageList2 DynamicPageList2], which would remove the need for many of the hacks, allow us to include more categories and allow a better ordering for this particular use. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

::I considered suggesting that the wanted bar be replaced, heh. And with my OCD tendencies, I'd certainly offer to take updating the wanted bar as one of my "jobs". [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Ideally, this would be something that was self-maintaining (like the newbar ''should'' be). If that doesn't work out then yes, someone updating it would work as well. I want to try and let people spend as much time on writing articles as possible, if possible. '''*grin*''' --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== New layout? ==
I'm not a terribly big fan of the new layout...but I'm going to assume it's still under construction, seeing as how there are 3 columns on the left and only 1 on the right -- which I have now fixed. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 20:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:I would rather have three on the left and both upcoming events and something else that works well in a small width on the right.

:Anything specifically that you don't like about it? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

::The 3-1 column right now makes the page lopsided and too long, in my opinion (unless future featured articles/DYK? are going to have less content). I also don't like the shortened bars - with long titles like "Help us improve" and "New categories", you can really only see 2-4 items at the most. But if that's the only way to prevent problems on other browsers, I can deal. ;)
:: Also, should the "Admins - Help" part at the top be centered on the second line, or else the text made smaller so it all fits on one line? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I put a link to Community Central in the main header, and since the new/newcat bars are featured in full there, perhaps they should be removed from the front page? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 00:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks good, GR. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 08:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. I would still like to get the new pages on there somehow. Do users click them, though? I would have thought so, but I don't know for sure . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

::Personally, I think it mostly served the purpose of showing "Hey, WikiFur's updating new articles all the time" rather than inducing people to click on them (unless they saw something they related to). Plus, most new pages are tagged as stubs, so they'll get picked up on the Furpile bar as well. I think it looks fine without the newbars on the main page. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 09:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Article of the ____ ==
Perhaps we should just have "Featured article" and "Featured comic", rather than specifying a time period? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 05:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed, so long as we don't update them regularly. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 05:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::I think this just means that we (me? :-) shouldn't be so lazy in featuring stuff! The trouble is I get occupied with other tasks and never seem to get an uninterrupted block of time to choose and write up something. :-/ --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Protected talk page ==

Is there a reason this talk page is locked to "users with sysop privileges" only? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:I suspect it was to deal with a past spam or vandal problem. I've lowered it to "registered user" level. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== Caching ==

Is anyone else finding the recent (July 31) vandalism on the front page coming up instead of the latest (reverted) version? I suspect I'm hitting a caching mechanism somewhere between here and Wikia, Inc. but I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 21:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:If in doubt, go to [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central?action=purge this URL] to clear the cache. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Alphabetically by *first* name rather than last? ==

People should only be listed according to their first name if they have no given surname. Basic encylopedia rules. And yet I see Fox McCloud under F, Bucky O'Hare under B, and so on and so forth. Any particular reason for this? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:That's their rules. That's not our rules. :-)

:Many people in the fandom are known under one name, or worse, might have a two-word name but only be commonly known under the firest, so people looking for the first name might not see them. There are few cases where people are better known by their second names - in the cases you gave, people know both their first and second names - so why order by them? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

::Um, so, in other words, you're doing it for the benefit of people who don't know how to properly navigate an encyclopedia? - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::Eh, my apologies if that sounded harsh. This is just a serious pet peeve of mine. - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]]

:::We're doing it for the benefit of users generally. As I see it, the main reason for sorting people by their last names in regular encyclopedias is that people are generally better-known by their last name, or their last name is important because grouping people by family is important (really two sides of the same coin - in both cases, the objective is easier searching or browsing by last name).

:::The furry fandom is a community where people tend to be better known to one another by their first names than their last (e.g. [[Deyna T. Otter]], [[Flinthoof Ponypal]], [[Kaijima A. Frostfang]] - and we also have a '''large''' proportion of people with just one name, or with an InterCapped name like my own). Our articles about people tend to be about these people (as opposed to "external" people, like [[memoryalpha:Talk:People|Star Trek]]). A sign of this is that we tend to refer to people by their first names throughout articles, even if they are "real" people (e.g. [[Mark Merlino]], [[Rod O'Riley]]). The number of people with the same last name is very small, and those that are related to one another will usually link to each other (and since wiki is not paper, you don't have to turn lots of pages to get there). Therefore, it seems better to consistently sort by their well-known first name rather than by a last name which they may or may not have, and which people may or may not know.

:::All other categories are sorted in this manner, so that means we have a self-consistent categorization system. It also happens to make the lives of editors easier, as they don't have to add reordering tags to 1500+ pages about people (and you know people would forget, or not know how to do it, resulting in pages that are ordered incorrectly).

:::The main place in which it seems sensible to reorder is when part of their "name" is an honorific, like [[Uncle Kage]] - people would probably expect to find him sorted under Kage rather than Uncle, especially since his "real" nickname is Kagemushi Goro. There are cases (usually with nicknames) in which this might not be the case, like [[Doctor Fennopolis]] or [[Lord Foxhole]]. Again, the ultimate criteria to make it easier to find people, which is the same reason we have the article name be the most common name (especially if people forget to add redirects from alternate names, as often happens).

:::Regarding your specific point: A '''lot''' of people don't know how to "properly" navigate an encyclopedia. Why should we make their lives harder for the sake of a convention that doesn't apply to our group? Being able to tweak the rules to suit our community is one of the benefits of having a separate wiki in the first place, after all. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 09:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Site display problems ==
It would appear that the new featured wikis strip on the right side of the page is messing up the layout. It's making the navigation strip appear a lot lower than the WikiFur logo, leaving about 400 pixels of space between them. This doesn't happen on all entries, just in some.

http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/4934/wikifurb0rkenaf4.png (No ads, all blocked due to Adblock)

At first, I thought it was due to Adblock, but it seems to happen when it's deactivated as well.

http://img445.imageshack.us/img445/6786/wikifurb0rken2gd9.png (Adblock disabled)

Any clue if that can be fixed?--[[User:Kitsune Sniper|Kitsune Sniper]] 22:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:We're discussing the problem on the #wikia IRC channel right now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

== Featured article length ==

I think the featured article and comic as displayed on [[WikiFur Furry Central]] should be shorter. On the displays I use (reasonaly large, with a browser window taking up a good portion of the screen) the featured comic is "below the fold" and easy to miss without scrolling. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

:Just raise your resolution. It's never been too far down for me. --[[User:Akir|Akir]] 23:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::Some users are, alas, unable to do that. The situation is improving, but 800x600 users still make up 6.4% of our user base, and 47.4% use 1024x786. We need to consider how the site will look to them. The most obvious improvement would be to remove the "WikiFur Furry Central" at the top, or shift the content up to cover it, as [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia does]]. I will investigate that possibility. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:::Have tested, now waiting on a Wikia CSS fix so that the thing I want to do will work on IE7. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

::::End result - 3 more lines of content gained removing the header on the front page, so it moves up automatically. This will be possible to do with CSS in MediaWiki 1.9 - for now, it will only work for people with Javascript enabled. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

== It's all broken! ==

The featured article, featured comic and featured image sections are all not appearing correctly. --[[User:Robomilk|Tori Belliachi]] 00:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== 21st Century Fox was already featured. ==

Other than that, I before saw the page featuring FA's article. So, any idea what's going on with the main page? --[[User:Shadow Fox|Shadow Fox]]

:It was set back to this time last year because there were no conclusive decisions on front page content. If you are interested in what happens on the main page, I suggest contributing to [[WikiFur:Featured article candidates]], [[WikiFur:Comic of the Week]] and [[WikiFur:Featured picture candidates]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Laaaaag ==

Is it just me, or has all of WikiFur been unreasonably slow lately? I've noticed very slow load times for a few days now. [[User:Immelmann|Immelmann]] 18:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:There ''have'' been recent performance problems, some due to the [[Special:Version|move to Version 1.12alpha]], and some not. Wikia is working on improving this situation, but I'm afraid that due to the holidays it will probably not be completely solved until January. Should give you plenty of time to write some original content, though. ;-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Megaplex variety show ==

Megaplex has had a variety show since at least 2004 (MP3). The featured article seems to suggest otherwise. The whole ending part of the featured article text seems to have been added on (it is not from the original article) and I question its accuracy. [[User:Wag|Wag!]] 13:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

== "Upcoming events" and nationalities ==

Approaching this issue with due apprehension, since it frequently causes huge arguments on Wikipedia... how come, in the "Upcoming events" section, RBW and ConFuzzled are given British flags, but ScotiaCon is given a Scottish one? For consistency's sake, either they should all be given UK flags (which would be my preference) or RBW and ConFuzzled should have English flags. Given that the UK includes Scotland, it's inconsistent to have it as it is at the moment. [[User:Loganberry|Loganberry]] ([[User talk:Loganberry|Talk]]) 20:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, that's what you get with devolution! ;-)
:My reasoning was that Scotiacon is designed only to attract furs from Scotland, while RBW and ConFuzzled are intended to draw people from the whole of the UK (it wouldn't be RBW with just white and red . . .). However, if you feel the Scottish flag is inappropriate, feel free to change it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== I have to refresh every page... ==

Why is it that I have to refresh every page or else it looks like it did the last time I visited it? Sometimes it says I'm not logged in when I really am. Is there a fix for this?... Mrperson777 11:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
:Not at the moment, no. Wikifur has had a caching issue for a while that's being worked on, but no fix has been implemented as of yet. [[User:Silver seren|Silver]][[User talk:Silver seren|seren]][[Special:Contributions/Silver seren|C]] 17:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Well that ain't right... ==
Dunno if this is a browser issue or not, but the front page seems to be lacking in pictures. (They're showing up as broken links) [[User:Dreaming|Dreaming]] 23:57, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== Time for a new set of featured stuff? ==

The featured article and featured comic haven't changed for at least as long as I've had an account here, and I've had an account here for a while. Time for a change, maybe? [[User:Fluffy|fluffy]] 00:52, 27 August 2012 (EDT)
:Feel free to change them! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:24, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== Template changed, main page didn't? ==

I edited the Upcoming Events template and the update shows on the template page, but not on the main page. I feel like I had this problem with MediaWiki once before and the resolution was that the main page must be edited to re-pull the template pages. Or does it do that automatically on some kind of schedule? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Timoran|Timoran]] ([[User talk:Timoran|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Timoran|contribs]]) .
:This can happen if the page is cached. Add ?action=purge to the URL and load the resulting page. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:23, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

== UK Furry Convention Flags ==

Relating to what was said about Scotiacon having a Scottish flag while the other UK furry conventions have a UK flag, speaking as a Scottish fur myself I feel that for consistency's sake all the UK fur cons should have the same flag as each other. I think it is inappropriate for Scotiacon to have the Scottish flag instead of the UK flag when many of the convention's attendees come from other parts of the UK as well. Would it be possible to change the flag next to Scotiacon to a UK flag like it is with ConFuzzled and Just Fur The Weekend? - FreyFox.

:Sure, I've made this change, per this and the [[#Upcoming events" and nationalities|prior discussion]]. We can keep that flag around in case it's needed later. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:04, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

== Come out loud and proud ==

== Wikifur needs full-time editors ==
I have been on here for several years, and the quality of the content on WikiFur is STILL the same way it was 5 years ago. There are stub articles about people, books, and characters that literally haven't been improved on for quite some time. What would solve this problem is by hiring full-time contributors that are willing to seek out information and add, edit, or clean up articles related to that information.{{unsigned|‎47.197.98.36}}
:[[WikiFur:What WikiFur is|WikiFur is]] a community-driven project by and for furries. We create and enforce policy by [[WikiFur:Consensus|community consensus]]. It's a passion project, and hiring an influx of Ivory Tower outsiders would muddy that. The best way to help fix up stubs is to expand them yourself if you know more, or find someone who does know more. (Typically stubs are created because it contains the sum of all the person who created it knows!)

:Besides, [[WikiFur:Sponsors|many of us are supporting the site out of our own pockets]]. In the past we've had [[User:Rat/Wikifur art drive|paid incentives]] for editors, but where would we get the resources to hire multiple full time employees, with [https://www.sba.gov/starting-business/hire-retain-employees/hire-your-first-employee all that requires? (US-specific link)]. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 10:21, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

:WikiFur derives far more from volunteer effort than it could get through paid effort - and as Equivamp notes, [[Wikipedia:Larry Sanger#Nupedia and Wikipedia|mixing the two can be problematic]], to say the least. Say there were 625 edits - [[stats:EN/TablesWikiFurEN.htm#wikipedians|roughly what we had in the last 30 days]] - and each took an average of ten minutes. One estimate for this level of activity - roughly four months of full-time work - is $9,000/year at minimum wage - but doubling that might be more realistic (it is a skilled role, and there are additional costs to employment over salary). Now, let's not forget the cost of paying the technicians - [[Timduru]] and myself - $9k each ''might'' get a month from us both at contract rates, if you're lucky. Now we're talking close to $40k, to reproduce what we have; only it doesn't - we benefit from the perspective and experiences of the entire community. Best to keep money out of it. The closest to this happening in real life is [[Courtney "Nuka" Plante|Nuka]] (and others) from the [[Anthropomorphic Research Project]] getting a grant to study furries and make a website for it, providing technical information about the fandom which would be hard to obtain otherwise (which may then be summarized here and in news articles). Other than that, if you think topics are under-served, '''be bold''' and make coverage happen! Just remember, you're writing for the benefit of the community, not the subject of the article - so try to temper your enthusiasm with objectivity. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:37, 14 April 2018 (EDT)

== Wikifur needs to allow the full synopsis of books to be written ==
Whenever I go on articles about books related to the furry fandom, I see... a plot summary. Nothing else. Why WikiFur seems to be discouraging or even prohibiting the publication of story information beyond the plot summary is beyond me. Whenever I actually tried to add in information about Eric M. Deal's "A Fox Tail", the synopsis section was removed, and that happened every time I tried to add it back in. As a wiki, isn't it the responsibility of WikiFur to actually document these books, instead of just worrying about potential readers being spoiled? Even books documented on Wikipedia and Wikia wikis have complete synopsis information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Realandyisepic|Realandyisepic]] ([[User talk:Realandyisepic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Realandyisepic|contribs]]) 11:03, 7 June 2017 (EDT).
:To me, it looks like you were only adding empty synopsis sections, which were removed for being blank rather than because it was a synopsis section. --[[User:V. CA|V. CA]] ([[User talk:V. CA|talk]]) 11:13, 7 June 2017 (EDT)
• I was actually leaving them blank on purpose in the hopes that someone who has actually read the book would fill in the information. Even though those sections were not filled, they should still remain in the article to reduce the amount of time editing.
FURTHER INFO: I'm trying to say that there should be sections in the articles on books that should be required, no matter if there is information or not.
:You might want to try actually discussing the edits with which you take issue on the [[User talk:Spirou|talk page of the person making them]]. We do have [[Template:Empty section|a template]] available for similar situations of sections you feel should be added but don't know enough about to start. It's not really fair for that editor to [[WF:AGF|assume]] their motivations for removing the sections, though.

== Add some artists? ==

I just wanted to know if someone could add the artists [[fasttrack37d]], [[Oselotti]], and [[Hornbuckle]] if they haven't been already. I'm not good at making pages, so I can't do it. I also don't know if they're good enough to be added. Thanks!

== Questions about the Furry Fandom ==

Open questions about the Furry Fandom to the Parents:
If you are in your computer and you have a question, type (CTRL + F) and search your question.

If your answer isn't in this list, try contacting us.
Any other user that want to contribute on this section by doing a question and answering for yourselves, we would really aprecciate it!

Observation: This is a fresh new section on the WikiFur, so a lot of these questions might be not with your answer.

'''What is a furry?'''
A furry is somebody who likes anthropomorphism. That's what it mostly boils down to.

'''Why do furries wear fursuits?'''
Because they want to represent their character physically, they want to share them with other people, and they want to perform as them.
That's only a few of the reasons.

'''Do furries identify themselves as animals?'''
Some furries do; others simply like anthropomorphic animals.

'''What is the fandom about?'''
A lot of things; it depends on who you ask. Some might say it is about fursuiting and having fun, others might say it is about consuming anthro media.

'''What does it mean to be a furry?'''
It means what you want it to mean. Do you like cartoons? Watching them is what you might think of what being a furry means to you. The list is endless!

'''What is a fursona?'''
A fursona is a furry character that somebody might represent themselves or identify this. You could have one, or many!

'''Are mascots furries?'''
Some might be; others might not. If a mascot identifies as a furry, then that's brilliant! Though not all mascots are furries.

'''How can you tell the difference between a mascot costume and a fursuit?'''
A fursuit is handmade, and only made one at a time, but a mascot costume might be made in a factory or in bulk.

'''Is it okay to have two fursonas?'''

'''What do furries do?'''

'''What is the average age of a furry?'''

'''How many furries are there?'''

'''How much does a fursuit cost?'''

'''What is the biggest furry convention?'''

'''How much does a furry convention costs?'''

'''What you need to make a fursuit?'''

'''What is a partial fursuit?'''

== Where do I go to view the Furry specific holidays throughout the year? ==

I've been a furry for 5, nearly 6 years, so I'm not new, but I have no clue where to go to view the furry specific holidays that happen throughout the like (as of writing) national vore day.

I'm unsure where to ask, I was wondering if it was on this website, but after some time of searching, it seems to be the case that there is no page about this.

Possibly add and make a page about the holidays?

- Beed

my fursona is a fox-wolf-cat-dog and it looks like a fox but people are alwase asking me of its a cat cus it has a cat tail......but my fursona is named carrot haha....................

== Fix the Did You Know? Section ==

We need to fix the Did You Know? section on the main page. I checked, and I don't think it has been updated or changed since 2017.
As a side note, we may need to update some of our pages. I have noticed that even pretty notable articles, even ones like the Furry Fandom itself, are quite old. Is there a template to denote if an article is Work In Progress or outdated?

Forum:Forum:Do we need to advertise the watercooler more?

SonicFish: We should really do this.

<div class="forumheader">'''Forums:''' [[Forum:Index|Index]] > [[Forum:Watercooler|Watercooler]] > {{PAGENAME}}</div> 

[[Category:Watercooler]]



This forum seems very empty. I think we should put a notice on the main page to remind people that they can use this and the other forums to answer and ask questions. I feel if we were to advertise this more to users, then it would have more activity, fur's questions will be answered more often, rather than just be left hanging, and furries will be more comfortable in asking for help.
I scrolled and saw a post from a furry, talking about their new fursuit, and asking for advice. Pity them; the post was from 6 years ago and they had no response, and I feel like they would've at least had one answer if we had emphasised this forum more.
Thanks! --[[User:SonicFish|SonicFish]] ([[User talk:SonicFish|talk]]) 15:24, 27 May 2020 (EDT)

Uh... Hey everyone. I'm new here and feel scared. Nobody knows who I am but the internet. Please don't go digging for my real name. Just call me Midnight. How is everybody? Sorry. It's the middle of the night where I live. Aka 2:05 AM. But... Uh... I exist. Long-time scholar of furry culture ( or whatever you want to call it.) Just now made an account.

Hello. I'm also pretty new here. Nice to see you, and I hope you make great edits. Call me Dragonick. --[[User:SonicFish|SonicFish]] ([[User talk:SonicFish|talk]]) 15:12, 27 May 2020 (EDT)

SonicFish: Made my page suck less and somehow I'm still not sure if I did it correctly.

Hello! Nick here! I'm going to take a moment to enthusiastically tell you about myself, so here we go!
==Interests==
I enjoy video games, speaking French and drawing. I like listening to music as well, but usually video game music. I hat Fortnite, because it is a waste of money and it really upsets my brother.
==Fursona(s)==
There are about 7 fursonas (or fursonæ, or whatever) that I identify with.
They include:
*Two dragons- Dragonick & Banfish
*Two foxes- Rogue & Farry "Floof" Fishhunter
*A bird- Ricca
*A dinosaur- "James"
*A dog- Wolf

I really like being a furry, but I have not yet been to any conventions or properly spoken with other furries. I may get a fursuit, and I am quite excited about that.

I hope you like my page! I am not sure if I did it correctly, but...

See ya!

SonicFish: /* Suggestions */ Added a suggestion, after making a page relevant to the subject.

The '''[[Template:Did you know|Did you know]]?''' section highlights features of newly added or recently expanded articles on the front page. It is an important part of the [[:Category:WikiFur featured content|WikiFur featured content]] system, as many new articles are interesting but not quite up to [[WikiFur:Featured articles|featured article]] status.

The template linked above can be edited to include the newest articles - make sure to provide an archive copy below! <del>It is probably a good idea to link to different articles in the [[:Template:Newbar|new articles bar template]], to avoid duplication.</del>

Currently, there is no hard rule on what is considered new enough or expanded enough to warrant a mention, so if you want to add a listing, '''be bold''' and add it! If you're still unsure, write it down here and discuss it on the [[WikiFur_talk:Did you know?|talk page]].
