== Activeness of the Wiki ==
Hey Wind, I just came back from a one year pause and since I left, no user has even touched your discussion. My question is: How active is the Wiki still? Y'know, I don't want to translate page-long articles and no one reads them... if I'm wrong, slap me, I'm just concerned.

You said you had undone my edit on Portal Test chamber 19{{spoiler| that made "Prepare yourself for the cake" not a spoiler any more}} because it ''broke the list''.

== Insane amount of userpages ==
Hey there, so when i found out that you can have multiple userpages simply by having them named User:your username here/page name here (for example, User:WindPower/My Pages) i started making userpages like crazy, even starting a text game on the Portal wiki, called Party Escort Beans Enrichment Center, and then i asked myself: Is there a limit to userpages? Will moderators delete your userpages if you have too much? And since i cannot figure it out by myself, i would like to know if there is a userpage creation limit. [[User:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|The Portal Player that discovered the Party Escort Bot is a pack of beans]] ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|talk]]) 13:10, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
:There is no limit as long as it stays reasonable size-wise (for example if you have more than 50000 pages with 100 kilobytes of text each, it becomes ~5 megabytes which is fine, but something like 50000000 pages would be ~5 gigabytes and that's not fine).
:Also:
:* There's also no need for the notice about potential deletion of the page because of the DISPLAYTITLE trick, your userpages won't be deleted just because they use DISPLAYTITLE.
:* You may find [[Special:PrefixIndex/User:Party Escort Bot = Beans]] useful if you start losing track of all the pages you have.
:Hope this helps~ — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 15:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
::Okay thanks, about the notice for potential deletion, it's because i'm worrying about people saying things such as "Oh this page is named Party Escort Bot = Beans voice lines i'll delete it cuz there's no one called Party Escort Bot = Beans in Portal and Portal 2" when the page is actually named User:Party Escort Bot = Beans/Party Escort Bot = Beans voice lines. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Party Escort Bot = Beans|Party Escort Bot = Beans]]''' ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot = Beans|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Party Escort Bot = Beans|contribs]]) </small>
== Portal 2 Chapter 10 ==
On the page [[Portal 2 Chapter 10 Test Chamber 0]], you mention that Portal 2 has no chapter 10. Actually, the ending sequence/video/cutscene where you rise to the surface is considered as Chapter 10 by the game, so... yeah. But since i couldn't find a page specifically for the ending sequence, i decided just to redirect it to Portal 2. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Party Escort Bot = Beans|Party Escort Bot = Beans]]''' ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot = Beans|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Party Escort Bot = Beans|contribs]]) </small>
:Maybe it can link to [[Turret Opera]]. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 05:58, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
::Okay, i'll make it link to the Turret Opera. By the way, it's definitely confirmed that there IS a chapter 10, as when you complete the game and click "New game", you see Chapter 10 unlocked. If you click it, you will be sent to the ending video.

== Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position ==
I asked this question on YouTube.
I asked this question on [[Talk:Party Escort Bot|the Party Escort Bot's talk page]].
I googled this question.
I asked it to a lot of Portal fans.
I searched everywhere for a download.
Still no answer.
Still no result.
Still no download.
So now i got an idea:
I will ask this question on WindPower's page.
He '''always''' replies to me.
So i will finally get an answer.
A result.
A download.
HERE IS THE QUESTION THAT REMAINED UNANSWERED FOR... A LONG TIME:
=== The Question ===
Do you know where i could download the "Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position" dialog (without the background sounds)?
Yeah. Such a simple. Simplistic question. That remained unanswered. It's like i asked what number comes after 999,999,999.2591525. (to be honest, it's actually simple, as the answer is 999,999,999.2591526) So do you know where i could download that dialog? [[User:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|The Portal Player that discovered the Party Escort Bot is a pack of beans]] ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|talk]]) 14:51, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
=== The Answer? ===
Put your answer here:
:Sorry, I have no idea. It's in the game audio files somewhere. If you find out, make sure to [[Special:Upload|upload it on the wiki]]. It may be part of the whole audio file that plays in the ending sequence, in which case there's no way to get the background-less version of it without asking Valve to provide it separately. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 23:30, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
::I saw your message and rushed to Portal to find out. Apparently the outside sounds DO NOT include the Party Escort Bot's voice: the Party Escort Bot's voice is "ai_outro_voice" or something similar. I will try to upload it as soon as possible. [[User:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|The Portal Player that discovered the Party Escort Bot is a pack of beans]] ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|talk]]) 11:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
::Where do you find the voice lines for Portal? I tried in sound/vo/aperture_ai and all the files were empty.
== Portal Wiki... 9999999 later (according to the Announcer) ==
Okay, it's me once again, this time it's not a question, well you know '''IT IS''' a question, but not about Portal or the Party Escort Bot or userpages. So i was bored, and then i got this idea in my head, and created '''this''' image, and i just needed someone to tell me if it was good or not.
[[File:User Party Escort Bot = Beans TheOvergrownPortalWiki.png|600px]]
I call it "The Overgrown Portal Wiki". Do you like it?
Oh, by the way, sorry for the enormous image size, it was either that or make it tiny. [[User:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|The Portal Player that discovered the Party Escort Bot is a pack of beans]] ([[User talk:Party Escort Bot &#61; Beans|talk]]) 11:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:Cool. Est-ce que les lianes sont dessinées sur le screenshot direct, ou est-ce que c'est fait avec du CSS? Si c'est du CSS tu peux l'ajouter à ton fichier CSS perso pour que ça apparaisse sur toutes les pages du wiki quand tu es connecté. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 07:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

== Wiki creator? ==
Hi, just asking, who created this wiki? At first i thought it was [[User:RJackson|RJackson]]...
...but, since '''you''' made him a moderator, that doesn't work.
So i thought about [[User:I-ghost|I-ghost]]...
...that didn't work either.
And now i'm starting to believe that it's '''you'''! So, did you?

== Hello ==
Hello WindPower, I from Dota 2 Wiki. Can you please reborn WindBOT? It's stop working long time ago... Or shortly teach us how to make another bot, on Windows, to make same functions plus others. Please, we need your help. [[User:Medok|Medok]] ([[User talk:Medok|talk]]) 15:48, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
:The bot's IP was banned from dota2.gamepedia.com in the cloudflare control panel. There's nothing I can do until that goes away. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 20:39, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
::I already unblock it. Permanent blocks can be unblocked only with reban, I ban WindBOT for 2 hours and block disappears. Now you can do that. :D [[User:Medok|Medok]] ([[User talk:Medok|talk]]) 21:00, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
::This isn't a ban from the wiki, it's a ban at the HTTP level. Whenever I try to access any page on dota2.gamepedia.com from the bot's IP, Cloudflare returns "The owner of this website (dota2.gamepedia.com) has banned your IP address (96.126.105.219)". This has to be fixed by whoever owns the cloudflare account that handles gamepedia.com. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 21:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
:Oh that pretty bad( I try ask Curse staff to do something with that. [[User:Medok|Medok]] ([[User talk:Medok|talk]]) 21:13, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

:WindPower, WindBOT is free now, but he don't do anything he must( what's the problem? Sorry for asking all time) [[User:Medok|Medok]] ([[User talk:Medok|talk]]) 14:23, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
== Signing comments ==
Remember when you told me to sign my comments on the talk page for i-ghost? Well, I don't really know how to sign comments, the link is always messed up. Can you post it on my talk page?

== Co-op Demos ==
Hey wind, I know it's been a few years.
I'm looking at updating the Portal 2 [[User:Arrran Weeviling/Projects|Co-op Video walkthroughs]] and adding the reamining ones.
I'm just wondering if putting up the demos would be useful, I've got both Atlas and P-body perspectives.
I've done the entire co-op campaign, but I'm going to redo a few that I feel dragged on excessively.
I can post a google drive link because I can't post them directly here due to filesize.
Wow that was a lot of words. [[User:Arrran Weeviling|Arrran Weeviling]] ([[User talk:Arrran Weeviling|talk]])
:That sounds great, but it would be even better if they were on the wiki. I'm happy to bump up the max file size, let me know how large they get. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
== Licensing Guide? ==

Hi! Are you the manager of the portal Wiki YouTube channel? If yes, did you Lost access to the channel? [[User:Quantum|Quantum]] ([[User talk:Quantum|talk]]) 21:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

== Sixense video upload to YouTube channel ==
Hi, long time. Hope you're well. Any chance you could rip and upload [https://web.archive.org/web/20141221200035/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVXOJeoF4hc this archived video] to the YouTube channel for preservation, and so it can be shown inline on the relevant article?

Thanks! Also, is there a way to turn wiki markup on? It makes editing easier for me. [[User:FreshYoMama|FreshYoMama]] ([[User talk:FreshYoMama|talk]]) 15:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
:Not sure what you mean, wiki markup is on: '''here is some bold text'''. Are you referring to some markup-editing extension? — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
== Discord ==
Does this wiki use discord? if it does is there a server i can join, since IRC is a hassle to use sometimes, and doesn't keep track of messages. [[User:FreshYoMama|FreshYoMama]] ([[User talk:FreshYoMama|talk]]) 21:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
:No Discord, sorry. I tried to set up a Matrix server once, which would solve this problem without the need for relying on a centralized service (Discord), but it didn't really catch on. The larger problem though is that the existing tooling (RC notifications) are on IRC right now and they'd have to be ported to a Discord bot or something first. — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
== Email confirmation is broken ==
I'm not sure if you're the correct person to contact about this, but it seems like this wiki isn't able to send a confirmation code to verify the email address I've typed. It seems to me that this is a coding issue with the wiki itself somewhere. Either way, this is the error message when I click the "Mail a confirmation code" via [[Special:ConfirmEmail]]:
'''<nowiki>Portal Wiki could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters.

If you don't believe me, create a new account with an email address and try to get a confirmation mail sent out.
