Please leave a message for me by posting your reply/query at the '''BOTTOM''' of the page. I will leave a reply for you later either here and/or on your own page talk page.

== [[File:Pawstop.png|25px]] Regarding article exclusion (removal) from Wikifur ==

* Please consult the [[Wikifur]]'s page about "''[[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|article exclusion]]''" first.
* The request must be made by the article's user, with some exceptions (next of kin, lawyer/barrister, etc...).
* The exclusion will delete the ability for others to edit it any further, plus a protection layer is added by Wikifur's [[curators]] so is no longer searchable on such sites such as [[Google]].
* NOTE: [[WikiFur:Personal information|Removal of personal information]] is normally not the same as exclusion, and it can be done without needing curator assistance.
* The request can be made in a myriad of ways (Email, [[Zoom]]/[[Skype]], [[Twitter]], [[Facebook]], [[IRC]], [[Fur Affinity]]'s DM/[[Discord]], etc...).

If you are trying to contact me specifically about an exclusion, please send me a DM via Twitter at "[https://twitter.com/SpirouWikifur Spirou on Wikifur]".

== Nyinxie ==

The WikiFur page Nyinxie has been deleted on 22 September 2021 by Spirou, see https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Nyinxie.

Editor's summary: Not ready for prime time article. What does this mean? i don't understand - {{unsigned|Nyinxie}}

:Hallo. As it was (a couple of links and request to expand the stub), the article was not ready for inclusion yet (see a full article like [[Splash Fusky]] as an example). If you still working on it, is best to build it on your user page, then copy/paste as an article when is ready to be published.

:I moved the available data to [[Nyinxie]]'s talk [[Talk:Nyinxie|page]]. Direct users there to help you out fleshing it out. Hope it is clear, Cheers - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 19:23, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

::Ooooh! Oh ok! I get it now! Thanks a lot for the example also. Cheers. Alrighty I'll give it a wipe over. Cheers m8. - {{unsigned|Nyinxie}}

== Faux-Pa ==

I would like to have my page, located at [[Faux-Pa]], removed from WikiFur by Personal exclusion. I have attempted to contact [[GreenReaper]] via Email 2 weeks ago, but have yet to receive a response.{{unsigned|Nikolai-The-Wolfdog}}
:No problem, just fire me a [[Twitter]] DM at [https://twitter.com/SpirouWikifur @SpirouWikifur], or I can can review the '''Controversy''' section (issues seem to have been worked out between both parties internally, so is no longer an standing problem, and is not something that affects the [[fandom]] in general, so it can be edited out as of now). Either way, please take your time. Hope this helps. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 14:48, 28 September 2021 (EDT)

== Vandalism at Christian Fur ==

Hey an IP is vandalizing [[Christian Fur]].[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 16:19, 4 November 2021 (EDT)

==T.E.C. page deleted==

Hello! I updated my page a few minutes ago for my Convention, and I come back a couple minutes later to add more to it, and you have deleted it for being unfinished? Why have you? And is there a way to restore it please? - {{unsigned|2001:569:fcba:a600:f423:6c0f:9c20:fd9}}
:Wrong convention article scheduled to be deleted. Restored and partial edit. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:31, 16 November 2021 (EST)
:Ty, I was worried I did something wrong. I will continue editing and finish up the page in a couple hors here.

== Request: New Turkish Subdomain for WikiFur ==

Hi;

I've already posted this request in GreenReaper's talk page and emailed him but I haven't received any feedback, yet. I apologize if I'm acting impatient.

Could you create a Turkish subdomain in WikiFur so we can contribute it by our native tongue ?

Thanks. - {{unsigned|DarkBloodKing}}
:Hallo. GreenReaper is the best person to perform this task, I can email your request to him, shouldn't take long. Cheers - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 19:58, 17 November 2021 (EST)

==Request: Page Deletion==

Hi

Can you please delete this wiki that was made for me years ago: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Wildcat_Lolita

I'm no-longer in the fandom and wish to have my page, all my information and edits completely removed.

If you need conformation of identity, please contact me at neko.go.neko@gmail.com

Thanks

==Request: Page deletion==

Hi could i possibly have my user page (https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Eddy_Dobhran) removed? I am no longer comfortable with this information being here.

Thanks, Eddy

:Hallo Eddie; please send me an [[Twitter]] DM for verification (@SpirouWikifur), and I will take it from there, cheers. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:30, 5 January 2022 (EST)

==Request: Source citations==

Heyo Spirou, thanks for all your patience and help with my page so far.

I have some sources you can use for my WikiFur page, which I've put in the Talk page of my article.

I don't know how to add citations but if you can add an example I can just copy and paste stuff myself, which is entirely how I wrote the original article.

[https://whitetigerofthenorth.blogspot.com/2021/10/worldbuilding-for-my-fursona.html Here's a link to my blog where I reference my immigration], which you can add as a citation for my immigration under "early life" and change "at the age of 16" to "under the age of 18".

Thanks for everything,

Etrius [[User:WhiteTigerOfTheWest|WhiteTigerOfTheWest]]

== Issues with citation templates ==

Hey Spirou, I'm curious as to your comment on [https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Polybun&diff=548278&oldid=548277 this revision] where you mention that the reference templates I've been working on lately were "bombing" Safari. I also use Safari as my main browser and haven't encountered issues. Are you able to provide more info on what's causing problems, or what affect it seems to be having? Thanks! {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 12:31, 23 February 2022 (EST)
:Saving on preview causes the page to lock, and eventually crash. Does not happen on (Apple-approved) Chrome or Edge (could be a Safari extension issue, maybe Grammarly). first page with this type of reference edit use instead of the ones we have been using since day one, is there a reason for using this type now?. If this is GreenReaper approved, no prob, but syntax that may cause a possible crash could be an issue (if extension related, could be a pain if I have to switch them off to just edit an article) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 14:51, 23 February 2022 (EST)
::My assumption would be that it would be extension related if it's not happening in other browsers. Nothing too weird in the syntax either, it's pretty much the same as what Wikipedia were using before they transitioned all their major templates over to Lua (which WikiFur doesn't support).
::I started updating and using citation templates (most already existed, just hadn't been used or updated for several years) to try and bring some consistency to citations. I personally find it easier to assemble them if there's a template with specific parameters and formats to use, and it of course removes some human error from the equation. Most other wiki projects I contribute to also use such templates, so WikiFur either lacking equivalents, or those equivalents being so massively out of step, was pretty jarring for me. They're not something I'm pushing to be a standard on WikiFur, but they're a tool I personally find useful. {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 15:15, 23 February 2022 (EST)

== IP ==

Hello. Do you have permissions to hide my IP on [https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Zonkpunch&diff=549369&oldid=549356 this diff]? I didn't see I was logged out. On another note, I'm working on fixing the issues you pointed out. I'm a Wikipedia editor so I know wiki formatting for example, but I'm still getting used to some of the different policies here. [[User:Yiff|Yiff]] ([[User talk:Yiff|talk]]) 12:04, 7 March 2022 (EST)
:Please contact [[GreenReaper]] to hide the IP, I'm not cleared for that. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:05, 10 March 2022 (EST)

== Quick Thanks ==
Thanks for cleaning up my page and getting rid of the dude putting stuff on my page about farts XD. I made some more revisions to my page if you wanna take a look but just wanted to thank a homie for looking out <3 -[[Dexter Freisen|Dex]]

:No problem, anytime. Be aware that you need to upload an image via Wikifur's upload file page to have it available in the article, cheers. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:28, 15 April 2022 (EDT)

::Yea I tried but it says I don't have perms yet so I took them down. Gonna add some for all my characters. Thanks for the formatting too btw!

== Block ==

Good evening,

I created the account GrantGraywolf about 7 hours ago. I can see why you blocked me, since I didn’t contribute anything and made no edits to my user page. My email address and IP are both blocked as well, so I’m sending this from my phone.

My intent was to edit the page for [[Longhorn Furs]] and create an article for its successor org, Longhorn Furries. I’m smack in the middle of finals season so I didn’t get to this right away. I’ve also read through WikiFur:About and understand wiki policy.

I would like to kindly request my block be lifted. If you need any sort of verification, I can happily send it. If the ban is permanent, I’ll also understand.

I apologize if I’ve made any mistakes, and I wish you well.

Thank you,
Grant

==Edits==
Hello!

I recently added some characters from SpongeBob to the Fish page as anthro characters. I was wondering why my edits were gone, then I saw the comment to go with it. This is my first time editing mind you but here are some links to the wikis where I found what their names are:
https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Incidental_40
https://spongebob-new-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Nat_Peterson
https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Sandals

If they aren't major enough characters to add, I understand that though.
Cheers!

{{unsigned|Feesh}}

:Except for [[Mrs. Puff]] on [[W: SpongeBob Squarepants|Sponge Bob Squarepants]], we don't include incidental characters as it would quickly overtake the article. If we did so, the article would be just [[Shark Tale]] and the [[Finding Nemo|Nemo]] franchises' incidentals. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:17, 22 May 2022 (EDT)

:Okay, seems that the restore worked for both the dark and white versions, I need to ask GreenReaper if it's possible to overwrite, or outright delete the vandal version. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 02:03, 9 June 2022 (EDT)

== Request for Exclusion ==

Hello. I'm requesting that my article [[Eurodex]] be excluded. I no longer wish for it to remain on here for personal reasons.

I believe I already moved my original username "Eurodex" to "NuclearVacuum" years ago ([https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=User:Eurodex&action=history back in 2008 it seems]). If you still need more confirmation that it's me, please let me know.

* https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/File:Kissy-Kissy_from_Christy.png

Where can I find the original text?
I don't want to write it a third time.
I looked to see if I could hire myself as the director of my own event (Staf).
However, you have already deleted it twice.
There is no more information on several other staff.
I would finally solve it so that the event does not have a dead link, but they keep deleting it.

Why is it good that instead of my name, Stafs now reads: {{unsigned|188.6.73.162}}

:The paragraph is located on the initial creator's [https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:188.6.73.162 user page]. I will put in your user page too. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 00:49, 23 September 2022 (EDT)

== Targeting ==

I'm starting to feel like you're targeting me and my page, I don't care that you think certain things don't belong the way you seem to think they do, but I'm getting sick and tired of your elitist edits on my page. I'll kindly ask you to leave me and my page alone.
:*Sigh* First, it’s not YOUR article, it is an article about YOU in Wikifur. Second, me, you, others, anybody can edit your article so it becomes what the article should be and work with the rest of thousands of user articles on this wiki, third, I’m not targeting you, so kindly do not THREAT anybody who gives its/their time on this wiki. I edited out your article because I’m working on other Wikifur articles offline, keeping an eye on vandals on the recent pages, and removing spam, so I had spare minutes to help you with the article about you. And fourth, if you are losing iit because another editor is working on your article, you will not make in the real world.

But still, changing your ban from '''Permaban''' (gross misconduct overral) to six days from now (so, New Years' Eve 2022), to give you a chance and time to think about this rationally. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:11, 25 December 2022 (EST)

::::Fine I’ll think rationally…let’s crunch the numbers generously….I apologize for my incomcideracies….I’m just tired of having my work entirely destroyed…..cyber bullying is a thing you know?…honestly that was my first article in years….after my Wikipedia project went dark….I created. the information based on my own life…some people don’t get that….I’m an artist and a gamer…I have a fursona my nmed hiena qns i play Minecraft for a living….why erase an hour of contemplation without reasonable guidelines to brush up on the errors?.q…understood?….good….bye….guidelines are heavily requested…..goodbye - {{unsigned|Thaddeus wolf}}

:::::(*Facepalm*). Oookay, using another account to circumvent the ban you should be in? (...disregard this time only once). Alright, again, as stated elsewhere, your "work" was not destroyed, it is still on your account's talk page ([https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Thaddeuswolff here]).

:::::You created a "Create-n-Forget" (more than 24/48 hours with no further edits after the first creation time) article for [[Hiena Frappe]], which you then left bareboned and incomplete. In the past, these types of articles were actually deleted, but now, if there is a minimum of data now, they are moved to the original creator's Talk Page ([https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Thaddeuswolff in your case, again, here]), which it gives the original editor time to flesh out the article until is ready to post on the main page.

:::::That said, if I can understand your above response, I hope this is for another ([[human]]) user, which is fine. But if it is for your [[fursona]] only, nope. Unless the fursona is notable, fursona articles must remain inside a user's main article (your article). - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 10:06, 28 December 2022 (EST)

Can a human write anything…yes…machines run on pre defined instructions….so get off your ass and so help me god…editors…noteworthy?…is this your game board…it’s not!…it’s a public domain and anyone can upload, whatever they feel necessary…and btw to all of you…don’t call me a machine….asshole btw you belong in the bottom of a cracker jack box - {{Unsigned|Thaddeus wolf}}

== Request Page Removal ==

Hello! Could I please have the page https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Roman_Otter removed? I have also send a DM on Twitter with the same name. Thanks! Happy New Year!
:And done. Thanks for the verification DM. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 04:14, 6 January 2023 (EST)

== Request for Spider-Ham page update ==
Back in 2022 last year, I added other forms of media Spider-Ham has appeared in. But even though it is said that Sub-Marsupial is an opossum, it is unknown what kind this character is so I added that this character is possibly one.

== Clarify policy about infoboxes ==

Hello Spirou, recently you reverted an edit of mine where I added [[Template:Infobox person]] to an article, with the following reason given: ''-Peson infobox. Imfoboxes are used on special article only (notability, death, others), sry''. I am confused about this, since the person whom the article is about is deceased and should therefore qualify. I am also confused about where this policy is found as I have not encountered it before. I have reviewed [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines]] and I do not see any restrictions on where person infoboxes (which in my opinion, are simply a formatting tool) can be used. Can you please clarify where this policy is listed? I also request that you edit the Usage section of [[Template:Infobox person]] to include the policy there so that future editors can be aware of it. Thank you

==Fursona==

Marko's [[fursona]] was a [[rat (species)|rat]], of the [[species]] ''[[wikipedia:Brown rat|Rattus norvegicus]]'', and he felt an affinity to this species even before he identified himself as a [[furry]]. In [[real life]], Marko and Ristin kept two [[non-anthro]] pet rats,{{when}} Izza and Bo, but they are both since deceased.

Marko's first fursona name was '''Haal Serkonov''', but he mostly went by the name of Marko. On [[Second Life]], he played a grey rat [[character]] named '''Haal Ratner'''.

==Fursuits==

Marko owned two fursuits:
* '''Rattus''', a grey rat, the second version of which was completed by [[RooFur]] in 2016.
* '''Toyroo''', a beige [[kangaroo]], made by [[Pouchhopper]].

== History ==

Highlights of Marko the Rat's furry history include:
* 1995-2000: Co-publisher (along with [[Jagafeh]] and [[Sebkha]]) of [[South Fur Lands]], Australia's first furry [[fanzine]] (later published by [[Bernard Doove]]).
* 1996-1997: Co-tenant of [[Quarantine]], possibly{{fact}} Australia's first furry house (or commune as it was then called).
* 1996(?)-present: Web administrator and founder of [http://www.furry.org.au/haal/plush/ ''The Plush Palace''], Australia's first [[plushie]] website.
* 1999-present: Web administrator and founder of [http://www.furry.org.au/haal/kangaroos/ ''Roophilia''], a photographic resource on kangaroos and other native Australian animals.
* 2005-present: Co-owner (along with Ristin) of Westhaven, arguably{{clarify}} Australia's first wholly furry-owned and occupied house.
* 2009:
** Featured in the short documentary ''[[A Tail of Identity]]''.
** Appeared with [[Wolfie Rankin]] in ''Alter Ego'', a documentary about Second Life on [[w:Special_Broadcasting_Service|SBS]].
* 2015: Joined the committee of Furry Down Under Inc., the incorporated association that runs [[Furry Down Under]]. (He stepped down in late 2016 but continued to support the con unofficially.)

== Conventions and events ==

Marko attended the following furry [[convention]]s and events (with milestones at each noted):
* [[Further Confusion 2007]]; [[Further Confusion 2008|2008]] (Marched at the front of the [[fursuit parade]] along with [[Raxmei]], holding a banner designed by [[Madius]] commemorating the Chinese Year of the Rat. Performed minor roles in two skits for [[Masquerade|Furry Night Live]].); 2010 (Hosted, along with [[Nicodemus (person)|Nicodemus]], the [[Rodent]] Panel.)
* [[MiDFur|MiDFur X (2008)]] (Debuted [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSx2_RdXk6k his own skit] for MiDFur's No Talent Show.); XII (2010); XIII (January 2012)
* [[Califur 5]] (2009, [[Gofur|Gophered]])

* [[RivFur]] 2012-2013
* [[ConFurgence]] 2014-2017
* [[NeonFur]] 2017

Marko also attended several [[furmeet]]s in the Brisbane area. He fursuited in public parks and considered himself to be a "fandom ambassador", explaining the furry fandom to passersby.

==Hobbies==

Although Roophilia has been replaced by a [[w:Web 2.0|web 2.0]] presence, he continued to enjoy dabbling in photography and often visited [[w:Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary|Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary]], where he had an annual pass.

Marko collected [[plush toy]]s and accumulated quite a large collection. He was unable to sleep comfortably without plush. He was a full blown plushophile, though his main focus was cuddling them while he slept.

== Death ==
Marko passed away peacefully in March 2018 after a battle with [[wikipedia:Cancer|cancer]].<ref name="Passing"/>

The Library is a community-focussed adult-oriented [[MUCK]] based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It resides in the theater at the home of its hardware wizard, [[Fate]].
The MUCK's playerbase largely migrated over after [[Yimu Island]]'s close.

Continuous effort is being made to make improvements on the server software as well as the world in general. In order to establish a more solid footing, The Library will be performing 'reality reset' which, in effect, will be a massive retcon to move characters over as seamlessly as possible while at the same time eliminating remaining ties to [[Yimu Island]].

== Bots ==

Is there anyway to have a bot put ContributorU on user pages, at least the ones with a matching article name? Or, perhaps, one that puts welcome templates on the talk pages of new users? [[File:Scalesona.jpg|40x40px]][[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 19:53, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
:Both of those are technically feasible, but the first would require writing a bot script and assumes they are the same person, while I'm not sure the second is a good idea in general.

== Questions ==

What do you define the difference between a [[fursuit]] and an [[wikipedia:animal costume|animal costume]]? The subject has come up at [[wikipedia:Talk:Fursuit#Explanation of edits undone|Wikiepdia's fursuit article]], but I'm a rather poor debater, and feel my opinion is pretty closed-minded. My opinion is that a fursuit is only a fursuit if associated with furry, otherwise, it's an animal or mascot costume. However, I know that some feel an animal costume is a fursuit, and the two are synonymous. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. [[File:Scalesona.jpg|40x40px]][[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 12:43, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

:As it happens I was already reading that discussion. I think my response would be much the same as yours - certainly, animal costumes existed, but they were not used for the same reasons, nor (apparently) called the same thing. I might respond there, but I'm a little busy at work now. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 12:49, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Also, whenever I try to edit a section or add a new section, the wiki tries to replace the entire text with the section. Any thoughts on why this is? It may have something to do with the fact that I am using Internet Explorer, which gives me problems in general on this Wiki. [[File:Scalesona.jpg|40x40px]][[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 12:45, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

+ ::It's the newest version. The only difference between the newest version and the older one (which I used on my PC) is that this allows me to edit, as long as I do not scroll down the page, whereas the older would simply lock up my computer if I even went to an edit page. The only way I am able to edit on this laptop I often use is by typing without scrolling too much, and then clicking the "Changes" tab, where it allows me to scroll down to click save. I have just turned off the advanced editing functions, and it still did it. [[File:Scalesona.jpg|40x40px]][[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 13:03, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

== Altering/deleting species profile ==

After a few years of it being there, I suddenly found a user "Spirou" putting my Monoceros page up for deletion. When I undid his edit and asked why, he deleted it in its entirety and replaced it with a 'redirect'.

Just curious why I was singled out. Or are all http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Fictional_species pages due to to be similarly deleted/redirected if any single WikiFur editor decides that a 'custom species' isn't to his or her liking? If you're nuking all of them, then no worries, I understand. But if it's just this page, I'd really like to know why.

There are multiple monoceri played online, and yes, I've referred others (esp. on SpheresMU*) to that page for reference. Just because no others of them are WikiFur members with their own page yet doesn't mean that the fictional species entry for monoceri should be deleted. Some fairness or explanation would be highly appreciated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Tugrik|Tugrik]] ([[User talk:Tugrik|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tugrik|contribs]]) .

Well, I talked to him. Nothing was really accomplished, however. He accused me of attacking him when I was merely asking why he wanted the section removed, which he didn't give a clear answer to. He said he didn't want people googling his name to find out about FA, so I suggested not indexing it, which you've apparently done. However, he then said it was pointless to have the article at all if Google can't find it, to which the only solution is personal exclusion, but he didn't want that either. Then he ''did'' want it. He seemed to have changed his mind again by the ''end'' of the discussion, and said the information was inaccurate. I advised him to correct it, then threatened to blank it immediately after. All the while making passive aggressive insults and threatening to tattle on me to you for "bringing drama" and telling me I'm lucky he didn't have me banned, despite having done nothing wronf. In fact, I was more polite than usual. Also, you apparently "told him about me" but I don't know what you said. All in all, it only managed to shave a few years off my lifespan, because I still don't know what he wants or what happened.

== RBW boat party notice ==

Hi GreenReaper,

That's actually a very good point - it seems to be a UKFur issue. If you go here : http://forum.ukfur.org/forum/86-ukfur-events/, and look at the RBW forum 'last updated' thing on the right, it (currently) says 124 topics, but the forum itself is only showing 3 pinned topics.... I've PM'd the admins about it and I'm waiting on the response. In the meantime, you can search the UKFur boards, using "RBW boat party" (minus the quotes) as search criteria, and the article is (currently) the 4th one down. The actual comment from Miyabi (aka sneppid) is post #19 and reads as follows:

''We've sortof dropped the ball on this – we're all quite enjoying the time off; not having massive heart palpitations and not being plunged into huge personal debt is a really nice feeling :3 We're also pretty busy managing LF stuff (well, most of us are, anyway). We'll probably make an official announcement soon but for the time being don't hold your breath for a 2011 boat party – think 2012 instead. We couldn't get the Erasmus at all for the dates we wanted this year, which wouldn't be a huge problem but we'd like to keep the vessel the same. Sorry about the radio silence, but will keep you posted re: 2012.''

So, no "official" announcement generally available, no. If that changes, I'll update the article (assuming you're happy with this as a reference - I can email you a screenshot if you like. :) [[User:Bezel|Bezel]] 05:15, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

==Furnal Equinox Edits by Non-Directors/ConCom==

Hey Green, We've all been through this before. dan skunk is reversing edits on the page, after I removed the "see other/danskunk" and he placed it back. With me removing again. As a director of the convention and concom, speaking with others on said places. We do not wish his wikifur linked from our page article. He has mention in the article and that is enough, he has and still continues to cause problems for us, including many threatening e-mails sent to myself and other directors of the convention in the last few months. We would appreciate if he was blocked from editing our page, or our page was locked from edits, except from anyone of the directors. Scani, Myself, Blindsight, Pakesh or Arctic. At the least I'd like dan skunk to be prevented from editing our page. We don't need more issues then we already have with him and his problems.

Shane Nicholson
Director/ConCom - Furnal Equinox

:Perhaps it's poor form for me to interject on user talk pages, but I noticed this change had felt compelled to jump in because you're asking for administrative lockdowns on this article. Generally, I feel it is not appropriate policy for pages to be locked down to a whitelist of official authors who can contribute. I help run a convention, so I have a similar perspective about public perceptions and controlling impressions. We do this through our convention website, and I think that's the appropriate place for controlled messages and positive promotional text. Our event, like yours, has had a turbulent past that got us to where we are today, and while history isn't always positive or engendering of those presently organizing an event, convention, website, etc., it's an important part of the history of the event, but also, often for the regional fandom at large. If items are added which are true facts, written in a NPOV, and are referenced according to standard, even if they cast an event in a contentious or less than positive light, they're part of a total perspective an encyclopedic article deserves. I noticed the tremendous amount of edits/reverts/reedits/talk page notes that have been going on about your event, and I can't find evidence that Dan is "trolling" in any usual sense, though I certainly understand how you might wish him to not publish his edits as associated with your event. However, I think to be true to it's intended form, that's a concession we have to allow to keep Wikifur credible and in a long-term sense, truly useful. I don't believe anyone should be granted a privileged status as to what an article should say because they are elected or appointed to organize the subject matter being discussed. At the very least, I would recommend that if Dan puts up something you find untruthful, the references be questioned and researched by uninvolved parties, and consensus is reached before edits/reverts are made. Until that happens, even if you were exclusive granted access to maintain the article, it would no longer be credible, it would simply be promotional without community consensus and involvement.

== Article wikifur.com/Fritter ==

GreenReaper,

As of Monday, the 12th of September 2011, my charges have been unconditionally withdrawn by the Crown and Court of Ontario, Canada. On that note, I would like to request my personal information be removed from my article page without threat of moderators such as AshleyAshes re-adding such information. In addition, I would like the note of any mention of the charge be removed, as it now poses as a threat to my future in both personal and professional stances. If you require any written proof, I am in the process of gathering the documentation from the courts and my lawyer notating that the matter has been resolved outright.

In addition, I would like to file a complaint against your moderator AshleyAshes, for personally bringing it upon himself to see that my reputation be tarnished, even after the criminal charge has been dropped. He played the entire matter as though I was guilty from the instant I was picked up, and appears to believe it is still the case though my charge has been dropped. I would like to politely speak with you in private on this matter further, so that these issues may be resolved as cleanly and respectfully as possible. It has been a difficult past 6 months, and I would like to do my best to keep those past 6 months under wraps for the future.

[[User:Fritter|Fritter]] 20:57, 14 September 2011 (EDT)

:Hi Fritter. I am glad to hear that you have apparently resolved this matter. As the information we have is backed by a published news article, some form of reference or document proving what you have said would be appreciated. If it can be proven, I am personally open to removal of the topic from the article about you; however, as we act on consensus and have not faced this exact situation before, I'll sound out the feelings of other editors on the [[Talk:Fritter|discussion page]].

:You might consider contacting the newspaper which originally covered this story to ask them to print an update. I also would be glad to update the [http://www.flayrah.com/3490/furry-fritter-charged-possession-child-pornography Flayrah article on this topic], and/or to post a new story there of equal prominence mentioning the withdrawal of the charges.

:[[User:AshleyAshes|AshleyAshes]] is not a [[WikiFur:Colleagues|WikiFur colleague/curator]] and does not represent the site in any capacity beyond that of a contributor. He also has no more or less power than you have - well, OK, ''technically'' there are a couple of things he can do because your account is new as of yesterday, but he has not been granted any special powers. We encourage all editors to ensure that articles are accurate and comprehensive, although in this case I would have preferred to see an attempt to confirm the information provided rather than immediately remove it.

:In the future, I suggest using the "summary box" above the save page button to provide an explanation of the motivation for your edits to other editors. This will appear on the [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Fritter&action=history history page] as a brief explanation of the edit. Without it, it can be tricky to deal with situations like user A adding information X to an article, user B removing it for a reason in line with wiki guidelines (e.g. a lack of a citation), and user A then adding it in again without giving any response to B's reasoning.

:You are welcome to [[WikiFur:IRC|talk to me in the #wikifur chat room]], or to [[Special:EmailUser/GreenReaper|email me]], but please bear in mind that I am relocating to Texas this weekend and may be away packing up boxes.

== Question about terms. ==

Hello, I'm Targal and EvilDragon. you should know me already, as I was sometime in IRC.

:Hi there! Sorry for the slow reply, I've been busy recently in [[real life]] . . .

1.
Rante has made classification about furry. as I saw it, but his term in the word explaining classification looks something weird.
so I question you looks whether it something uncomfortable or not.

I guess You should know these codes can be seen well on a book of libraries.

http://hellodragon.tistory.com/41

I think It'll be better if they're revised as latin-ous.

:I do not particularly like codes as they are inflexible. For example, it says there that my character has a human body . . . but it is half the height of a human, and in fact the stance is more forward-leaning. It also appears to be redundant to define "divisions" if you have defined "detailed divisions" as it can be calculated from that. Overall, I would ask what is the use of such classification? On WikiFur, we use words, and it works well enough, I think.

2.
is the word "furry" literary style?

this meaning is that the word "Kemono" in Japanese can ba hardly written on novels, because it's something inproper. but the word "Jyujin" having a similar meaning to Kemono is used often than "Kemono" on novels.
likewise the word "suin" in Korean meaning furry and jyujin is also used on a novels, but it's so informal term only used on internet products that it can be written hardly on formal words. (but 'suin' is available half on novels)
for example, you have to write 'yiffy' as 'adult furry things' on a formal paper, because 'yiffy' is a slang.

so, I wonder whether the word 'furry' can be used like that or not.

:"Furry" is an informal term; you will not find it in any official dictionaries . . . yet. It is however used by many conventions and artists to describe themselves. If you want a more formal term for the characters which we focus on, I would suggest "[cartoon] anthropomorphic animal". --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 00:00, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

==People to Add==
Hello GR, 
I wonder if you could suggest a direction for the [[:Category:People/People_to_add|People to Add]] list? In particular, what should be done with names that defy a reasonable amount of research? Take "Susan Gui" or "John T Baptist", for example. Neither have any mention within WikiFur, and Google searches combined with obvious words like "furry", "furries", "fursona", "anthropomorphic", etc, produce no relevant hits. Neither do Google Groups searches or trying to guess a Fur Affinity account name.

Should such names be left, or removed?--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:25, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

:I'd suggest removing them, on the basis that placement on the list is only useful if other people know who you're talking about.

So eventually, the order they are displayed in when split looks different from how they initially appeared in sequence when first posted? I thought about the possibility of adding month-parent single = cats but that is only for standard methods and would clearly overcomplicate in addition to this trinity division. [[User talk:Tyciol|Ty]] 04:29, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
:Yes. It is more work; I do it because I am in a unique situation as many policy decisions and technical questions have been answered on my talk page, and it may be necessary for people to look through the archives to determine the historical basis for a decision (or just to get a general feel for the site's history). This makes it easier for them, as there's less to read through. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:37, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

It would appear IE still has problems editing the site (though it can view it just fine). Editing is possible if I make the changes, then click the "Changes" tab at the top before clicking Save. Not doing this results in me having to resart the internet. This is a brand-new computer; I am using the most updated version of IE. Yes, I know, that's what I get for using it in the first place, but I'm too busy to download Chrome. Is there any reason for this, or do you not know?

== A strange link ==

Hi, I was talking with someone and they mentioned that there was a link on Timothy Albee's page here on Wikifur that pointed to my page on FurAffinity, (furaffinity.net/user/dreamsong).

While Tim and I were close for years, we were never _that_ close.

I was wondering if someone could change that link? (I think his FurAffinity page is still there under TimothyAlbee.)

Thanks!

:We do have it (our extensions are listed at [[Special:Version]]), but it was disabled. I've enabled it now, so [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]] should work.

== Personal Exclusion ==

I was wondering if I could have my wiki-thing, Sparky15756, blanked?

But I'd like to keep my account on here for when I finally get around re-editing my wiki-article.

== Help with Babysitting Cream? ==

Thanks for the welcome. I could use some help with the Babysitting Cream page, which is marked as needing to be wikified to match the Furry Book of Style. Whoever put that macro there, I'm not sure what they want fixed.

:Hmm. There is [[Talk:Babysitting Cream|some discussion]] of that work already. My view is that the topic is suitable, but it's not a good encyclopedia article. It reads more like a game guide. The choice of the section headers "How to play" and "Strategy" and the constant use of "you" are particularly telling. Description of the gameplay is appropriate, but less in the form of "here's what ''you should do''", and more "here's what happens if ''the player does'' X". The article also contains uncited personal opinions about how the game should be improved, stated as fact. If someone has given such an opinion elsewhere, it could be included but should be cited and attributed to them.

== Page Reversion. (Unexclusion) ==

*After much consideration I would like the page back on track.
*I would however like to get solitary priveleges to change the page info.
*This is because other people have constantly changed it in the past, which let to its demise (and my temporary ban), updating it with incorrect info and details I myself corrected over time and time again.
*It seriously gets on your nerves after a while. I know Wikifur is a place where 'everyone' can contribute and I like\endorse that, but after seeing the disasters that can occur: page protection surely is a luxury.
*Sure, I would've liked it otherwise, but it seems some people (trolls in particular) can't handle that kind of freedom.

Kraaa!

For reasons similar to those of BillyTheCat128 above, I had requested an exclusion, most likely because I had self-edited my page (and I also wanted the history to be purged). However, I now would be interested in seeing how WikiFur editors see me. I would like the [[Diti]] page to be recreated, so I would be happy if you “unblocked” the page (or make it a “red link”)!

== Babysitting Cream thumbnails ==

It appears that you provided specific thumbnails for the article on the Babysitting Cream game. However, one of the thumbnails was never uploaded (or had the wrong filename), resulting in an ugly bar for the missing image, and the other image was from an earlier version of the game.

I have replaced these using the standard "thumb" feature of the Wiki image reference, allowing the software to generate the thumb by the default method. If you want to rebuild the thumbs, this is a reminder that they are there. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 14:13, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

Oh, and thank you for replacing my incorrect version of the start page with a correct one. But... the way you did it doesn't get a full-size image when you click on it, only the thumbnail (with a link to the full image if you look for it). I don't understand how this thumb= stuff works well enough to fix it, so I'll just leave it up to you instead of reverting -- I hate reverts and will only do them for obvious vandalism or where the editor clearly didn't understand the purpose of the article/section. [[User:APDamien|APDamien]] 15:03, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

:Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The thumbnail was deleted because the software listed it as unused and another editor thought it was superfluous. I have noted its use on the file page. The thumbnails are used because indexed PNG thumbs are much more efficient than the full-colour ones made by default. I did a bit more digging and found that I can force a manual link as well as a thumb, so that should work nicely now.

:As for the earlier version image, I replaced it with what I consider to be the "title" screen, which is equivalent to an earlier version of the image. The warning screen might be included too, as a separate image but it seems a little superfluous - maybe just a mention in the text, if anything? (If you can't see anything useful in a thumbnail, it's probably not a good image to use.) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:11, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

== Policy on self-editing? Just asking for clarification... ==

Hey there. I'm Kashi Commodore, one of the newer associate developers hired to work on Furcadia. A long-time Furc player and Beekin, I've now joined the team at DEP.

I have my own article, which was self-edited to an extent to correct inaccuracies. And I suppose it might be prudent to update it given my new position. That thought has highlighted an idea..

I see a few factual inaccuracies in Furcadia related articles which I'd be happy to correct. Of course, that would be 'self-editing' in a sense and wanted to clarify what the policy is on that. I'm not a marketer or salesperson, and am happy to attempt to cite official sources where possible. But I wouldn't want to invalidate the encyclopaedic purity of the site - merely correct a few errors. I could see how I would not be regarded as impartial. I'm not sure if I can say I would be an 'official' source myself, but I'm certainly as official as you are likely to get, which has it's own pros and cons of course. I could provide examples of what 'inaccuracies' I refer to if that helps.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Kashicommodore|Kashicommodore]] ([[User talk:Kashicommodore|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kashicommodore|contribs]]) .

:Hi Kashi! At WikiFur we recognize that sometimes the best sources of information are those closest to the action. As such, we welcome such edits as long as they comply with the general policy on neutrality. There should be little problem with correcting questions of fact; if it starts getting into what you see as misconceptions of DEP policy or actions, it might be best to mention and reference examples of user views as well as the company's own position. In any case, we'd certainly prefer that you continue to do so under your own name, and to explain your reasons for changes in the summary box (or on the attached discussion page if necessary). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:02, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

== Editing protection ==

The edits in question are indeed large, other curators have used this method to prevent editing while making theirs, the pages are only 80% finished, I am not receiving comment on the future status of disambiguation pages, and i'm not using this template as my sole property toy, but to prevent the hanging data from being disturbed until the final edit.

This was done with [[Kitsune]] and [[Vixen]], and after being finished and unprotected, users started to modify the entries as normal. The changes are time consuming, long, tedious and a pain to enter one by one. Common courtesy during a curators edit would be appreciated - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 21:08, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

::I [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&limit=500&type=protect can't see evidence of use of this method] to protect personal editing projects.

:::Okay, then I will take Sine's suggestion, which is the most logical right know.

However,a friend of mine posted another question in the eng forum but none has answered yet.

== Editing the Homepage ==

Hello Greenreaper! I'm Valery91Thunder from the italian Wikifur. I'm working with a friend of mine (Escofal, he wrote to you before) to replenish and update the Italian part of the Wiki. We're currently working on adding new pages, but we'd also like to change the layout of our homepage, which is currently looking like this: http://it.wikifur.com/wiki/Pagina_principale . We'd like to create something more resembling to this: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central . Do you have any useful tips and tricks, or pheraps a link to a tutorial that shows us the best way to modify these pages? We're new, so we're still trying to learn the majority of the code. Thanks anticipate for your interest, we'll be waiting for your kind answer. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:79.3.154.44|79.3.154.44]] ([[User talk:79.3.154.44|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/79.3.154.44|contribs]]) .

:Hi Valery! I'm glad you want to develop the front page. Unfortunately there is no manual for them in particular - you have to click "edit" and see what is done - but [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Contents|MediaWiki has a manual]] - in fact there are [[Wikipedia:Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Introduction|several]].

:On the English WikiFur, we have locked the front page, and are using a feature called [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Templates|template inclusion]] so that the content of the front page is on other pages. Basically, anything like <nowiki>{{WikiFur Central/Something}} is actually at [[Template:WikiFur Central/Something]]</nowiki>. This makes it harder for people to edit it, which is both good and bad . . . we also have the front page sections rotate each week (with edit links to the appropriate week).

:Parts of the front page are on [[Template:WikiFur Central/Header]], [[en:Template:WikiFur Central/Featured]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Comic of the Week]], [[Template:Upcoming events]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Flayrah]], [[Template:Did you know]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/FeaturedPicture]], [[Template:Furpile]], [[Template:WikiFur Central/Footer]] and [[Template:WikiFur Central/MetaLinks]]. Most are protected to avoid vandalism (although to varying levels), because English gets a lot of it. There are also versions for screens which are [[WikiFur Furry Central/800|800px]], [[WikiFur Furry Central/650|650px]] and [[WikiFur Furry Central/480|480px]] wide, which have their own templates or re-order them.

:This is probably more complex than we need, and almost certainly more than ''you'' need. Given the size of the community, I would suggest that you consider it a "front page to furry fandom". What would someone new to the fandom want to learn? What Italian-languages resources, in particular, are useful? You can link to major topics, to categories - whatever you have available now. (One example along these lines is [[Wikipedia:Portal:Furry|Portal:Furry on Wikipedia]].)

:I suggest that you don't commit yourself to making sections that you will have to update all the time, especially if only a few people can edit it. If you want a featured section, that's fine - but make it one that you can leave for a few weeks if necessary. There is less chance of deliberate vandalism here. Don't be afraid to link to content elsewhere - if there are popular Italian podcasts/shows/news with RSS feeds, you can display links to them, [[Template:WikiFur Central/Flayrah|like we do for Flayrah]].

:I would also suggest looking at our [[WikiFur:Community Central|Community Central]] page ([{{fullurl:WikiFur:Community Central|action=edit}} source]), and mixing some of this type of material on your front page - as you do with the "new pages" section - because it encourages contribution to these articles, and it is automatically generated. Some of the sections there use [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party)|DynamicPageList]]. This is a powerful but complex tool. Try it out, but don't expect it to do exactly what you want straight away! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:56, 11 November 2012 (EST)

::Hey there! Thanks for the quick reply, this is a lot of info indeed! I'll start looking at the pages you've linked soon, and your suggestion of doing a simpler page instead of a more "real-life updated" one was exactly in my thoughts. We had in mind to add some links to the major furry forums in there in case some new furs wanted a place to meet people and talk. :) Thank you again!

== Protecting the Homepage ==

Hi GreenReaper, it's Valery91Thunder again from the Italian WikiFur, sorry to bother you ^^"
We've successfully managed to edit the homepage, adding a new layout to it, more informations, and so on. We plan on creating the Community Portal as well, soon.
We had another hacker/bot attack, though, that re-edited the homepage. I've managed to restore our version, but still, it's utterly unpleasant seeing our page being changed like that. :( So we finally decided we should add protection to the homepage, but I think, as I'm only a normal user, that I don't have the permissions to do that.
Is there a way, or someone, that we can contact to do it for us?
Thank you again for your time and kindness. :)
:I have protected the main page against edits by anonymous or recently-registered users, and I have granted yourself and Escofal access as colleagues/sysops, since you are the active users at this time.

== Hello, need help deleting a page? ==

Hi there, I made myself a page a while back under my username/character name 'Conjure'. I am no longer part of the fandom and have also changed my real name used in the article here. I would not like this info to be posted publicly anymore as it is irrelevant now. Is there any way you could help me delete it? Im not sure if you need proof or anything it is me, but i do use my real email on here and I have a facebook if need be.

Thanks!
{{unsigned|ConjureVerified}}

:An article does not have to be removed for personal information (such as legal name) to be removed. Even if you are no longer a member of the fandom, the article could stay (and be edited to reflect that) for historical purposes. If these compromises are acceptable to you then the article could stay. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]][[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 08:36, 24 January 2013 (EST)

== Mobile Frontend extension ==

Any chance of getting [[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]] installed? It would make WikiFur more accessible in today's world of smartphones. Wikipedia themselves use this extension, it also provides some nice API methods for getting a short text extract from an article. --[[User:TerrorBite|TerrorBite]] 12:35, 6 February 2013 (EST)

'''FurryMUCK''' is the oldest [[anthropomorphic]] [[MUCK]], and the second largest by usage (behind [[Tapestries]]). It is popular among the [[furry]] community, although also used by others. It is owned and operated by '''Furry Enterprises''', a collective organization of the [[wizard]]s and admins.
<div style="float:right;clear:right;">__TOC__</div>

== History ==
{{main|History of FurryMUCK}}

{{rating-14-button2}}

== Locations ==
In general, all public areas of FurryMUCK are officially PG-13, although conversation has a habit of straying into more mature topics. Private areas, and areas specified for the purpose, may have a higher rating. See [[:Category:FurryMUCK locations|Category:FurryMUCK locations]].

== Regular events ==

* The [[Owlhaven Literary Lounge]] has weekly story readings every Tuesday night at 7pm CST (GMT-6)
* [[Artist's Ambush]] occurs every Monday in the [[Studio de l'Artiste]] at 10:30pm EST (GMT-5) (For January and February 2006, ambushes will be held on Wednesdays instead of Mondays)

== Programming ==

FurryMUCK offers two types of programming:
*[[MPI]], a [[Wikipedia:Lisp programming language|Lisp]] inspired text-replacement language used by most regular players for simple scripts
*[[MUF]], typically used for more complex operations and to implement system [[action]]s - apprentice access typically granted on request

== Wizards ==

*[[Aragh]] - Player Relations / Character Creation
*[[Drew]] - @age registration / Player Relations
*[[Frang]] - Player Relations
*[[K'has]] - Player Relations
*[[Lisa_Lynx]] - Player Relations
*[[Conrad Wong|Lynx]] - Server Problems and Restarts
*[[Nightwind]] - MUF/MPI / Helpstaff / Idle Purges / @age assistant
*[[Shaterri]] - Player Relations
*Tugrik - Site Administration / Builder Wizard / Quota

[[Revar (FurryMUCK)|Revar]] is not a wizard, but is responsible for many of FurryMUCK's scripts and helps Tugrik with administration.

=== Previous [[wizard]]s ===

Players who are no longer wizards for one reason or another include:

*[[Centaur (character)|Centaur]] - Recycling
*[[Erych]] (1990-1991)
*[[Abigail]] / Claire ([[Claire Benedikt]]) (1990-?)
*[[Archteryx]] (1991)
*[[Lionman]] (1991-1992)
*[[Revar (FurryMUCK)|Revar]] (1992)
*[[S'A'Alis]]: Character Creation / Site Administration (Oct 1993 - [http://www.flayrah.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=275 stepped down] Jul 2001)
*[[O'nara]]: Assistant to S'A'Alis
*[[Kimi]] (1992-1995)
*[[Silent Red]] (? - June 1999)
*[[Riss]] - MUF Wizard / Asst. Character Creation / Zombies (1992 - Apr 1999)
*[[Points]] (1995 - Feb 1999)
*[[Slipstream]]: MUF/MPI Asst. / Globals Maintenance (Nov 1996 - Feb 1999)
*[[Mishael]] - Assistant @age registration and character creation (1992 - 1997; 1999 - 2008)
*[[Chip_Unicorn]] - Player relations

== Mayors ==
FurryMUCK has historically also had a Mayor, typically [http://web.archive.org/web/20010414091601/felis.org/FurryHistory/election.html elected], although the mayoralty has been known to pass hands for as much as $1.37, and little as the wag of a tail. It was an official part of the process that new mayors were selected in a different way each time. The first mayor was selected by a relatively fair election, so all others thereafter were selected by varying other methods, all deliberately corrupt in some way. Bribery, nepotism, theocracy, and vote-buying were all used.

The joke is that despite the good–natured (and otherwise) hullabaloo over the selection process, the post is almost entirely symbolic. The only responsibility of the Mayor being to change the name of the currency. One day you may be strolling through the park and see "You found a reason to taunt a fox!" and the next you might see "You have 234 catnip mice." Toast explained "A good mayor changes the currency frequently, no less than every other day, RL permitting."<ref>http://www.panix.com/~jpeterso/mayor/</ref>

Past Mayors and how they lost their title include:

* [[Triggur]] (mid-1994 to February 1995) - position bought out in a shady deal with [[Tugrik]]
* [[AJWolf]] (February 1995 to January 1996) - sold for loose change at [[ConFurence]] 7
* [[Frang]] (January 1996 - October 1997?) - lost in a corrupt election where the votes could be bought
* [[Toast]] (October 1997 - August 1998) - delivered to a god by material sacrifice
* [[Inari (FurryMUCK mayor)|Inari]] (August 1998 - October 1999) - lost a contentious election
* [[Mwerevu]] - (October 1999 - July 2000) - voluntarily stepped down
* [[Rose de Stitches]] - (July 2000 - August 2000?) - dethroned after protests, the wizards got annoyed and declared the Mayoralty suspended

While players have asked for the Mayorship contest to return, so far the wizards have not re-approved the event.

== Server and upkeep ==

FurryMUCK currently runs on a virtual Xen instance hosted at Linode.com's facility in Fremont, California. It's a "2048 instance", which means it has 2G RAM, four virtual processors and 64GB drive space. The current wizard and site-admin Tugrik administrates the Linode with [[Revar]]'s assistance.

FurryMUCK currently supports IPv6 at its address ipv6.furrymuck.com.

Server status and donation information can be found on {{lj-comm|FM_Status}}. Monthly co-location fees are paid for by wizard and player donations. Tugrik and Revar pay for the rest when donations don't cover the fees in full.

SafeHaven (IRC)

2011-05-13T09:57:56Z

TerrorBite: Removed mention of Pawz from rule 10

{{wrongtitle|title=#SafeHaven}}
'''SafeHaven''' is a general [[furry]] chat channel on the [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]] [[IRC]] Network, offering a friendly, safe and upbeat environment to all furs and people. Initially designed as a small channel for the SafeHaven household in Melbourne, Australia, it slowly grew into a moderately large channel, usually averaging between 30 - 40 people, but then evened out to about 20 - 25 by the end of 2010.

* '''Addresses''':
** '''IRC''': irc://irc.furnet.org:6667/safehaven
* '''Founder''': [[Lore Darkclaw]]
* '''Administrators''': See "Channel Administrator list"
* '''Ran from/to''': 2008 - present
* '''General Rating''': M15+

== Channel Rules - Brief ==
''For those who want the in-depth rules, see Channel Rules - Extended''
''(Version 9.0 current as of '''May 13, 2011''')''

* 1. #SafeHaven is a no yiff channel.
* 2. Do not attack, insult or threaten any individual.
* 3. All topics are welcome within reason.
* 4. Do not use any automated programs, and minimize the use of manual scripts/programs, including away messages.
* 5. Profanity is allowed, except where it clashes with rules 1 or 2.
* 6. No spamming. Period.
* 7. ENGLISH only!
* 8. Minimize CAPS LOCK.
* 9. Do not bypass bans.
* 10. Let the Ops team do their jobs.
* 11. No fighting, attention whoring, or threatening self-harm of any kind.
* 12. Do not post malicious links.

== Channel Rules - Extended ==
''(Version 8.0 current as of '''May 13, 2011''')''

* 1. First and foremost, unless otherwise stated in the current channel topic, '''#Safehaven''' is a no yiff channel, although minor erotic roleplay is allowed '''within reason'''.
* 2. '''ABSOLUTELY NO PERSONAL ATTACKS, INSULTS, OR THREATS'''. We cannot choose our date of birth, height, eye color, biological family, gender, skin color, sexuality, or the forced actions of others. Harassing people about things beyond our control will NOT be tolerated. And if you physically threaten to hurt or kill anyone in, or out of the room, you will be removed AND reported to FurNET admins. There are FurNET admins who reside in channel and log all public posts. This rule also extends to the use of email and/or text messaging/instant messaging services to continue such conversations that have been started in channel.
* 3. You may discuss any subject not otherwise forbidden by other rules. Everyone also has a right to talk whenever they want, but please consider others. "Taboo" topics (like religion and politics for example) ARE allowed also, but within reason. These are things we DO choose, so they are fair game.
**'''NOTE:''' Do not preach or witness in the room. That is just rude, so don't do it. Your religion and beliefs are no more important or special than anyone elses. Spreading your propaganda will get you nowhere but suspended or banned.
* 4. Please do not use automated programs that list what music you're listening to, etc, and please disable your away message if you are chatting in channel. As a rule of thumb, please minimize your use of away messages and/or manual scripts/programs.
* 5. Profanity, cursing, swearing, foul language, whatever you want to call it, is allowed, '''EXCEPT''' if it conflicts with either rules 1 or 2. We like to let everyone be themselves and talk how they like, but within reason. Calling others names like "nigger" and "fag/faggot" will get you booted out before you know what hit you. We do not accept the usage of words when used in a derogatory fashion.
* 6. No spamming. This includes repeated postings of text, pictures, links, websites, other chat rooms, and porn. Those who do will be warned. If that doesn't work, you get kicked. If that still doesn't work, you get suspended.
* 7. English ONLY! We greatly respect people from all over the world and their native languages. However, the vast majority of our members are from America, Australia, Canada, England, and New Zealand where English is the primary language. So we ask that you please keep it English. Also, refrain from Ebonics, 1337, netspeak and any other abomination of the English language. Although using it won't get you kicked immediately, it does get annoying after the first few lines, so show us you have some level of maturity and intelligence by typing normally. If not, don't blame us for the flaming you will receive.
* 8. No repeated CAPS LOCK usage please! You can use CAPS LOCK occassionally for expressive purposes, and will be forgiven if its an accident, but continual use of CAPS without reason could result in suspension from the channel.
* 9. Do NOT bypass bans. Bypassing bans can and will result in a permanent ban from #SafeHaven, and possibly FurNet.
* 10. Let the Ops Team do their job! They were promoted to their positions for a reason. It is their job to enforce the rules of #SafeHaven, not yours. We do appreciate you wanting to help out, however it does make things more confusing in the room. If you see an issue where no action is being taken, get the attention of an Ops member, but if they are dealing with the problem, STAY OUT OF IT.
**NOTE: Telling the Ops Team how to do their job doesn't help either, and if by chance there is no Ops member available, log the chat and send it to an active admin. If no admins are available, email Lore on the email address listed below.
* 11. NO fighting or attention whoring!! This is a chatroom, NOT a boxing ring. And if we see you spamming "Everyone love me" or "I wanna die, someone kill me" or some stupid shit like that, we will warn you first, then kick you if you continue. Don't come back in saying you were joking, THIS is your warning, don't bitch about it. This also includes any and all references to self-harm. You are free to ask for advice or ask to talk to someone, but be aware that we are not counselors and therefore our opinions are our own and not those of a medical professional.
* 12. Although this should be common sense, we have had a number of issues with this in recent times. Whilst in channel, posting links is ok, provided that they do not link to any malicious software (virus, spyware, etc.). We get enough of that from just browsing the interblogs, so please don't post these sort of links. Some people have also posted a disclaimer. The problem with this is that if you post the disclaimer prior to posting a link, and someone joins between those two times, then the disclaimer is null and void. Therefore, don't post these links, because you will be banned if you continue to do so after being warned.
**NOTE: Posting malicious links is, in part, a breach of rule 2.

TheLounge

TerrorBite: Changed registration time to PDT (instead of UTC which I think I got wrong anyway)

{{Wrongtitle|#TheLounge}}
'''#TheLounge''' is an IRC channel on the Shadowlink IRC network, which also hosts [[Fchan]]'s IRC channel [[Fchan (IRC)|#fchan]]. #TheLounge is owned and run by [[TerrorBite]].

*'''Address:''' [http://irc.fchan.us/thelounge http://irc.fchan.us/thelounge]
*'''Web access:''' [http://lostfayth.net/irc/ Visit Lostfayth CGI:IRC] and set "Channel" to "#TheLounge"

== History ==
Originally created in September 2007 as a small roleplaying channel between friends, it has grown to become a small community and also a refuge for some furs who find [[Fchan (IRC)|#fchan]]'s moderators and/or rules to be too strict. Unlike #fchan, #TheLounge allows sexual roleplay, although most of the time it is used for ordinary chat.

== Trivia ==
*<nowiki>#</nowiki>TheLounge was officially registered on Fri Sep 14 2007 at 6:56 AM PDT.
