: You're welcome. Again, I don't want you to take it as anything negative, I just wanted to point it out to you. Anyway, I think I ''may'' have found a work around for the moving issue. Use <code>host_timescale .1</code> and <code>noclip</code> to get into position. Then, use <code>host_timescale .01</code> to basically freeze time. You'll still be able to rotate the camera but movement will be almost non-existent. Hope that helps! [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 01:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
== *message drop* ==
I'm making a note here. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
: [http://www.jeepbarnett.com/gallery2/d/12191-3/fanart_portal286.jpg Huge success.] I wanted at least say that I wasn't just avoiding the place. I care about the wiki. It upsets me that I'm not more active but I'll try to be available if anyone needs me. Hopefully I can get some stuff sorted out and get back on top of things here, and maybe even get some projects off the ground over on the TF2 Wiki.

== Portal Wiki YouTube Account ==
If I want to make video tutorials, is there a way to get my name added onto the user list for the YouTube account, or can I just upload videos to my own YouTube account? [[User:Nalexa-1124|Nalexa-1124]] ([[User talk:Nalexa-1124|talk]]) 20:05, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
: That's something that would have to be discussed with one of the [[Help:Group_rights|higher ups]] (anyone under Bureaucrats or Content Admins), since I'm just a moderator myself, but as far as ''I'm'' aware, the only people who have access to the official Youtube account are the admins of the wiki. Other users have uploaded videos to their own channels for pages (such as the Portal Prelude walkthrough) because of this. So long as you still follow the same general style and quality of the official channel (taking time with the levels to not rush, showing off key elements, no custom skins/mods, subtitles off, and high quality video textures/models/etc.) you should be fine. If you don't have the high enough quality computer to record everything (like me), recording a .DEM file of your playthrough and sending it to someone who does have the better machine is also a good solution. I hope that answers your question and gives you an idea of what can be done. [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 18:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
:: I do currently have the set-up to record myself, but that might change in the future. I will just upload the videos myself. [[User:Nalexa-1124|Nalexa-1124]] ([[User talk:Nalexa-1124|talk]]) 19:47, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
== Special Boxes on user pages ==
Is there a list somewhere where I can find all the code for the user boxes? I know some of them but there's some I don't know. (Like the favourite animal and favourite bot) - [[User:Wheatley44|Wheatley44]] ([[User talk:Wheatley44|talk]]) 12:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

== Moderation ==
Thanks for keeping the wiki moderated. ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 07:00, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
: Hey, no problem. That's what my job here is to do, right? Portal has a special place in my heart and I'm honored to be able to help keep the place clean for the users. (And it gives me something to pass the time.) For science! [[User:Sven|~Sven~]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 23:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
== would it be appropriate to link to the combine overwiki? ==
in an edit of a page I was going to reference something from halflife, would it be appropriate to link to a article on the combine overwiki (I heard there was some tension between the wikis).
or is there a better wiki to link to. [[User:Stickyy|Stickyy]] ([[User talk:Stickyy|talk]]) 07:38, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
:You can certainly link to the Combine Overwiki from this wiki. There's no problem. In fact, this wiki's [[Main Page]] links to the Combine Overwiki in the Valve Wiki Network section at the bottom.
:What isn't OK is to copy-paste content from the Combine Overwiki into Portal Wiki. This isn't due to tension, it's just a text content license issue.
:Hope this helps — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 07:55, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
== Forgot your password doesn't works. ==
Every time I clicked "Forgot your password" I got ''"Error sending mail: Unknown error in PHP's mail() function."''I've been trying to log in for weeks. Thankfully I still had my old laptop with my passwords, so I could log in. Anyway, thought I should report the  broken lost password thing.  [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:19, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
: Huh. I don't have access to any of the wiki's inner workings, but I'll make sure to pass this along. Thanks! [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 06:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

== Your Bird article ==
Hello Sven, i may have noticed on https://half-life.fandom.com that your user article (Bird) is [https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Bird_(Portal_2) legit] and maybe you can move your Bird article to the Main article stream?
|Headquarter8302|[[User:Headquarter8302|Universal Wiki User Page]]|[[User talk:Headquarter8302|Universal Wiki User Talk Page]]| 01:13, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
: Hey. My bird article is written out like satire, so it ''itself'' cannot be made into a normal article without rewrites to make it appropriate. It's intended to be hard to find because it's generally just used to test formatting stuff. By all means, feel free to adapt it into a serious article. But as-is, it can't be. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 01:18, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
:: I made a [[User:thedoczek/sandbox|bird article on my sandbox]], but I had to remove many things. I still think it's good. What's your opinion?

== CSS access ==
Hi Sven! Do you have access to [[MediaWiki:Common.css|CSS page]] as a moderator? I need it for [[Template:Old Aperture infobox|Underground]] Screenshot stuff and [[Portal Stories: Mel]] [[Template: Mel Old Aperture infobox|Underground Template]] stuff.
If not, do you know an administrator which is still active?
[[User:Thedoczek|Doczek]] ([[User talk:Thedoczek|talk]]) 17:51, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
: I checked that the only still active administrator is [[User:i-ghost|I-ghost]], and [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] is semi-dead. Every other admin is fully dead.

== Notability issue ==
Hi Sven! There is a little conversation on [[Aperture Laboratories Roblox Testing Initiative]] on it is notable or not. The issuer is [[User:Luke18033]] and the user is issuing a Marked for Deletion notice. I'm informing you just for a heads up!

== Is it okay to use Templates on signatures? ==
Hi Sven! I just want to ask you, if using Templates as Signatures are okay, because sometimes my signature kinda of messed up a talk page's formatting.
Sent by [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) at 01:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
: Look, I created <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:sentby|'''sentby''']]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> template, and I used it below :) Sent by [[User:Thedoczek|Doczek]] ([[User talk:Thedoczek|talk]])
:: It's "okay" in the sense that if you can condense it into a user-template that you can just insert, ''and'' it still says who wrote it and at what time, that's fine. Large blocks of text just for a name is a bit much. Also note that you can just sign your posts with 4 tildes, like how: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> results in [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 20:54, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
::: I'd rather not allow it, especially since the {{tlx|ambox}} template is way too huge and messes up with the page styling.
::: Signatures should follow [[w:WP:CUSTOMSIG/P|Wikipedia's guidelines]]. — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 01:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

[[Fire Suppression]] <-- the redirect one
Sent by [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) at 06:04, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
: Nah. Having a redirect is a good thing. Also, I hope that you're not copying from the Overwiki. I'm only saying this because they tend to... I guess, over-include things (super minor characters, obscure things getting entire pages for them) and it's against ''their'' policy to copy wholesale their work. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 15:41, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
::I don't, it's just that the page was including a mechanic in the finale where the gels would wash off, it is an obstacle too. Btw the overwiki used CC-BY-SA 4.0 and us use CC-SA 4.0 and they both use Attribution license (except for overwiki, that used ShareAlike rather than licensing the original work)
