Halloween is coming, time to put your Tails Dolls on your lawns on posts. What're ya'll gonna do this year? Sacorguy79's RPG Level Up is OVER 9001!!!!! 11:05, October 11, 2010 (UTC)Sacorguy79

I think we should decorate the wiki Pumpkin Hill style. Blacknred 14:42, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I usually change my signiture around these events that says where my monkey is at.--Mystic Monkey  sez 17:29, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't really know what we could do this year, especially considering the current issues surrounding SNN's status. However, I thought of somethin funny.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 17:36, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * What you have in mind?-- Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.  17:55, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Changing the background to a holloween/Sonic theme. The background would be black, with Tails' (orange, to fit with the Halloween colors), and Big's insignias. Big's insignia would be a joke on cats being part of the whole Halloween theme. 'sides, Big deserves a little love.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 18:17, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah! And also, why not the characters in there SA2B Halloween skins?-- Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.  18:30, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dunno about the skins, if they aren't from the same game (the skins).--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 18:32, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would prefer mostly colour changes and image swaps than having to make a new skin and switch from those set to MonoBook or other settings. Can we just stick to cosmetic changes?-- Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.  18:58, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ohhh, you don't use Monaco. No I'm talking about a new Halloween-themed background.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 20:45, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

I say it's a good idea. I also think we should have some sort of special event. I don't have specific ideas for one, though. -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  I'm not a monkey!

Halloween art contest?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 03:30, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that's a good one! First rule: NO FANCHARACTERS!! We have enough carrie art and I don't wanna see any more art stolen from deviantART!! -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  I'm not a monkey! 03:32, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Really? I'd say it's easier to steal art of canon characters. But if we restricted it to peoples' own fancharacters and no character-maker artwork, I;d say we've got a fair contest.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 04:28, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Also, as a reminder of Bon-Fire Night, Christmas and future events, why can't SNN have one of these with perhaps something that automatically switches colours and images during certain events.-- <font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.  18:36, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well, let's see what the wiki is like after the move, then we can try and ste up something.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 04:58, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think later I will put a pumpkin on my userpage. I found an intersting code that make a picture stick to the very corner on an article. Kinda spamish code but relativly harmless.--''' <font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween. ''' 18:41, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, awesome pumpkin! Lemme know when the art contest page is up so that I can link it to the image. -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  I'm not a monkey! 02:56, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. ^^ Though I tihnk the pumpkin is not orange enough. Itried doing it again but meh.

Still if people like it, I don't mind other users putting the picture up on there user accounts. Or if they wanna stick it in the corner like here and my user account, this is the code I used.--''' <font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.

Halloween poll
Hey Leviathan! Nice what you did with your signiture. BTW my pumpkin code is for free use, didn't know others were using the code before me but I only started experementing with codes last months to see what I get. (Tabber code is fun!)

Which stage do you think is the most "Halloween" Pumpkin Hill Cryptic Castle Mystic Mansion

Anyway I started a poll out of interested plus halloween spirited. At first I thought Pumpkin Hill was the only Halloween themed stage but I forgotten about some others that are both haunted and have pumpkins so here is my poll. Which of these Zones do you think is most Halloween in themed; Pumpkin Hill, Cryptic Castle or Mystic Mansion. Also (a rafter fanfictional question) How close to each other do you think these Zones are?--''' <font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween.

Halloween 2012
It's the last quarter of the year now. That means the best holidays will be happening, such as Halloween. So how 'bout Halloween on SNN again? I have one idea for how we can make SNN a bit more haunted and that is a Werehog version for the SNN Sonic pattern background, if thats possible. I can just imagine Sonic the Werehog as a Halloween thing for Sonic.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  17:46, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * That would be an awesome idea, Mystic! I can really see it coming off well. 18:02, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * It can be dark blue and purple. I am possitive Sonic Generations had made a Werehog icon they didn't use, if I could find it then maybe I could make the halloween background myself. I recoloured the Christmas skin, I hope that gets used this year, I made it more redder.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:45, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this is what you're looking for. Have fun! 19:51, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah yes. If other mods in charge of skins want to use it, I'll make it.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:59, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds like fun! I feel like we can do something more though...

Neat idea with the Werehog symbol for a background. -- Supermorff (talk) 21:52, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Oh wow, I never expected this to be revived after nearly two years... Well then, a Werehog symbol on the background has my support. 23:58, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I tend to bump old threads holiday threads. I consider this a form of recycling.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  00:28, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

I support the Halloween background.

....on a similar note, don't most main characters have a costume from some game that could tie in with Halloween? The Shadow Of Darkness (talk) 00:05, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Not a bad idea (the Werehog background thing). Pacmansonic138 (talk) 00:07, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

I guess you could say the characters from the story book series could be considered costumes. Anyway, maybe we can also do something with the main page? Like decorate it with Halloween pics, orange and black text, ect.

Alright then. In the morning I'll get onto making the Werehog background. It's almost 1:30am on my end. Oh hey my pumpkins back! I feel I should update that also.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  00:28, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking of for every character who has a costume (besides Storybook costumes as they have seperate chatacter pages), we put that as their main character picture. The Shadow Of Darkness (talk) 00:36, October 2, 2012 (UTC)



Finished the Halloween Werehog background. My friend complains it's not halloween colours enough (orange and black) so if you want me to recolour it it's no problem.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  14:18, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I personally think the purple is fitting, it's somewhat reminiscent of night colors. 14:24, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I tried patterning it, it's not 100% syncronised, at one of the werehogs quills I doubt anyone will notice, it's like 1% inaccurate. Just thought to say that 'cus I did try my best.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  14:26, October 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's actually 50% grey, to represent Sonic's darker side as a werehog. While I personally like it the way it is I can understand why some would want it more traditional in colour. Thats why I am thinking of making a selection of background to be chosen from. (my eyes are on the Boo's now or maybe the Hyudoro)--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:16, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the background looks amazing as it is. It's fine without any orange IMO. Besides, orange tends to be a vibrant colour, and if it was added to the pattern, it might clash and stand out from the more somber colours already present. That's just the way I see it. 16:32, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I also prefer the Werehog background as it's also a clever parody of the usual SNN background. Still I also made this one based on the stitch-mouth Boo's which has more traditional Halloween colours but still prefer the Werehog back myself.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:55, October 2, 2012 (UTC)



I prefer the Werehog, too. --16:58, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yah, I was gonna do a Hyudoro background, but I much prefer the Werehog and hope it gets used.

So will the Werehog background be used?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  13:39, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I support. 13:42, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hehe, I was the one who made the Christmas background. :3 Well technically I just recoloured it from the current blue one but I made it more red this year.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  14:13, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I know by theme it's not halloween enough (it's more werehog theme than halloween theme which is why I made the orange boo one also) but I like it too to be used for late october to Halloween.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  14:13, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Appreciated.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Appreciated.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you check the image page on it you'll notice I uploaded it years back. I wasn't satisfied with how "red" it was last time so I made it redder.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I like the Werehog background. Do we want the two colours, or would it be better to use the same colour for the head and background (like the current background)? -- Supermorff (talk) 15:22, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like the werehog background unchanged. I chose purple as while the Werehogs colour is darker blue than hedgehogs colour in Unleashed, in Unleashed menu's had his theme colour purple. I think the dark blue and purple go well with each other with the grey boarders of the werehog icon.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:55, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I support the new background.

SilverPlays97, I'd rather we didn't make that change. Amusing as it would be for our regulars, it would mean there'd be no spoiler warning for newbies. -- Supermorff (talk) 20:14, October 3, 2012 (UTC)



It can be a change of template which will effect the other articles with the Spoiler banner but I don't think we need to go that far. As for the Werehog background, when will it be put up?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  20:24, October 3, 2012 (UTC)





Not that +1 day makes much of a difference but why not on the 15th, the beginning of the week (and last half of the month)? Sooner than later would be nice, but any inconveniant time before Halloween is alright too.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  20:52, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

The Werehog background looks perfect! I'm all in for the Halloween Werehog background. Pacmansonic138 (talk) 22:37, October 3, 2012 (UTC)



The wherehog background looks great! Also if i may, one of our users created an SNN logo specifically for Halloween and posted it on his blog that would look great on the main page.

I say we change to the Werehog background and put up a poll about what's your favorite hunted them stage I already have it in the poll suggestions page to but hey this is the Halloween page PS Anybody know were to find a decent playthrough of the PAL version of the Hidden Mansion in Luigi's Mansion.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 22:50, October 3, 2012 (UTC) Well I am certainly getting into the Halloween spirit. It makes me wish I can make my fan game because in it I want to have a Halloween theme stage called Phantom Fortress.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  23:17, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe on Youtube you can find a vid?

I say change the background next week and leave it up for a week or so after Halloween too, so it'll be up for a whole month. -- Supermorff (talk) 14:01, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

So Halloween skin up tommorow?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:47, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Sure. -- Supermorff (talk) 17:05, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * By British time, when will the Halloween background be up?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  17:40, October 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you want me to do it? I thought you were going to do it. I was just saying go ahead. -- Supermorff (talk) 20:51, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess he does want you to do it.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 20:53, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * ItI thought you were in charge with SNN apperance and that it be rude of me to go ahead and do it. That and also I do not know how to do it myself.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  21:00, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

With help from ShadowUnleashed I put through the change but a sa Monobookian I can't see any changes. Still blue classic background for me.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  22:32, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Take my word that it looks great to me. Now Wikia is holding a Halloween wiki skin contest. We've already got a background. Do we want to go all out and enter the contest? (I'll try to change the background for monobook, hold on a mo.) -- Supermorff (talk) 09:11, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Is it working in monobook now? -- Supermorff (talk) 09:25, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes it is! What did I do wrong to not make it work before?

If we want to enter the Halloween competition, we might have to up the ante. The Werehog skin is great, but we'd need to change the theme, and maybe some things on the main page.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  11:57, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried to see if I can make YouTube videos autoplay on Wikia. Yes I know autoplaying YouTube vids are rather spammish but I thought to get <youtube width="100" height="25">HhPBHOcz64Y to play on SNN home page would bring more Sonic themed creepiness for Halloween. Also Maybe have Night of the Werehog as a featured video on the main page also. Another thing (though not sure possible) is to have Hyudoro's haunt the main page, on Ponychan they sometimes have pixel ponies roam the pages and thought it be cool to have a couple of Hyudoro's roam SNN home page for Halloween.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  13:54, October 16, 2012 (UTC)



I'm not sure about changing the page colour, but I did think about changing the colour of links to orange. I also think we should change the header and buttons to dark purple and dark blue respectively.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  14:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

My idea is that the gif is animated, moves slowly around randomly on the page and has various actions like turning into it's blob forms or something. this video shows an example of Desktop Ponies.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  17:32, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But before you do, let me find out more of this AI gif program if it works on wikia.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween 
 * I was talking to my friend about it and he said it's a JavaScript program. The program was called Desktop Ponies and it basically allows ponies to wonder around your desktop but you can also have them on websites. What I had in mind is Hyudoro's floating around the main page. But now Iam not certain if it's possible.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:23, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I think the blue boarder could be pumpkin orange, but I don't really know how well that will look on both Wikia and MonoBook style.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  14:28, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I think those ponies are programs than just simple GIFs, it might be hard to replicate.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  17:46, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I made a Two Logo designs and a Background design
Well here are my thought

NOTICE: Background may be a little small to fit fully on the BG but i bet we'll figure something out to make it fixed

ill put it as a slide show on the right side Splash  The  Hedgehog  23:14, October 3, 2012 (UTC) I also considered making a Pumpkin Hill background, only more of the stages background scenery than the actual stage. I do like the logo with Tails Doll though.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  23:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah i like it too. I wasn't going to put Tails Doll on there cause i felt like it doesn't belong yet a lot of people just love scary stories and Creepy Pastas about him. Splash The  Hedgehog  23:29, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I like the second one better and plus who fits Halloween as much as he does for the Sonic Series.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 23:37, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Tails Doll is a "monster" and Halloween is about scary stuff. While Sonic the Werehog is not a monster, he can pass off for halloween--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  00:06, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep let's see the 3 characters I think fit Halloween the most are Tails Doll the Werehog and Amy just cause of things like her Tarot Cards and connection to things like that, and I think we can all agree Cream is hands down the furthest from being anything Halloween like.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 00:09, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * NO Amy is nothing like anything Halloween-y she doesnt even have any costumes. Thats why i used rouge instead cause she uses diffrent kinds of outfits. Plus i used most of the characters from Rivals2 because they had diffrent costumes. TurquiseTH2.png Splash The  Hedgehog  00:14, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Rouge's SA2 Halloween costume is hot.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:08, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I said cause of her conaction to thins like Tarot Cards which has connections to witches fortuntellers and other things we link to Halloween.But to each there Own I supose.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 00:20, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't really say tarot reading is aHalloween thing. I get where you're getting at but I never really consider fortune telling a scary thing. In fact I own a crystal ball and rpetty sure my mother has tarot cards.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:08, October 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * The logo is fine, and I don't want Tails Doll in the logo anyways. -- 00:58, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thats why i made 2 diffrent version oe with and one without Tails Doll TurquiseTH2.png Splash The  Hedgehog  01:05, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like Tails Doll. Though any complaints wit hthe second one is that Tails Doll 3D graphics clashes with Sonic's 2D Adventure style.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  15:08, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * well i could make a 2D Adventure Style of the Tails doll like i did with some fan characters take a look at my page if you want to see how i make them TurquiseTH2.png Splash The  Hedgehog  21:05, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine by me I would like to see how that comes out.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 21:07, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

I hope lotsa cool Halloween stuff for SNN. Usually Halloween for me IRL is rather boring, I never been trick-or-treating ever.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  02:31, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your not missing much plus you can just by candy for cheap in bulk and give some out to the kids to me that's been one of the best parts of Halloween. PS Every play the Tails Nightmare flash games there really good.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 02:34, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mum considers trick-or-treating a form of begging, especially when it resorts to vandalism like egging because they didn't get desired treats and they can get away with it because it's Halloween. Also parents usually teach there children never accept sweets from strangers which is pretty much what trick-or-treating is. this is why my mother never lets us go ToT, since I never really had a whole group of friends I was neve rinvited to Halloween parties so I just stayed home watching Halloween specials.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  20:10, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Man do I feel bad for you that is the worst kind of thing to happen well I wish I could do something to make you feel better but I can't my feelings go out to you man.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 20:13, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah i feel bad for ya too! i just get it to get candy and to dress up i even make my own costumes (this year i am being Silver the Hedgehog :3) Perhaps you could give out candy and dress up :) TurquiseTH2.png Splash The  Hedgehog  21:43, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think giving children candy is such a good idea in case someone might think I am creepy, and not in a Halloween sense.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  03:51, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm with you Mystic; I've never been trick-or-treating, and I don't like the practice either. In fact, in real life, I hardly celebrate Halloween at all, and it's almost like another normal day to me. I'll be getting into the Halloween spirit on SNN, though. 14:17, October 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Same. I try to make the most of it, like a sort of knock-off Christmas.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:44, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

I'm really digging the Halloween backround. Nice work Mystic!
 * Thanks. Just getting started with the Halloween ideas, if you check the above section you'll see what else I have in mind.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  16:05, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Halloween 2012 skin contest
Okay, bring the discussion above to the end of the page to make it easier to find. You will notice that I have changed the skin - buttons are now purple (which I like), links are now orange (which was suggested above but I don't like), and the page is grey instead of white. This is not a permanent change, of course (although the grey colour does make the emblems on the front page look better), but it's for Halloween. What do people think? -- Supermorff (talk) 17:54, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

 * I love the purple buttons and the grey page - it gives the wiki a truly sombre feel, perfect for Halloween. I don't like the orange links though. They look like redlinks to pages that don't exist. 18:13, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

As for other suggestions, what do people think of the idea of implementing a slider, which might temporarily replace our emblems (since it would be an awful lot of effort to make them spooky)? I do like the idea of roving hyudoro gifs on the main page, suggested above, if it can be made to work (they will be more visible on the grey background). We also need to get a Halloween-ish featured article up. -- Supermorff (talk) 17:56, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can perhaps make animated gifs on PhotoShop if you need 'em.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  18:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm all for a slider on the main page, and the Hyudoro... sounds alright. 18:13, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just need to get a Hyudoro sprites to make into an animated gif, but I ma new to animating on PhotoShop. Does anyone know where I can get Sonic 3 Spritesheets of Hyudoros?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  18:20, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Can the wiki color thing also be changed to navy blue? (the color that effects the thing at the top of the page, the thing that scrolls when you scroll, and the border around the chat, the reason navy blue is to match with the werehog in the background. Other users on chat mentioned it on chat but I guess no one mentioned it on this forum). We all have our own   styles we   won't change  18:04, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Also, I suggest Pumpkin Hill should be "Featured Article of Halloween", which will replace Featured Article of the Month temporarily, if feature worthy that is. But on the poll I made on this forum shows it's rather popular for Halloween.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  18:09, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * SpyroSonic> It's already navy blue. That's why I didn't change it.
 * Mystic> Pumpkin Hill is a bit short, but maybe it could be improved to standard. Put something on Sonic News Network:Featured Article nominations. Also, to change it in monobook we'd need to mess around with MediaWiki:Monobook.css, which is how I changed the background. Changing the skin is more complicated, though, and I'm not sure I feel comfortable trying.
 * Slider> An example can be seen here, just above the "Explore the Wiki" heading.
 * Hyudoro> Pretty much all of the Hyudoro sprites can be found at http://spriters-resource.com/genesis/snk/sheet/42879 Is this enough to make a gif? -- Supermorff (talk) 18:26, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll begin work after dinner. I can even experiment with MonoBook's MediaWiki (I can back up incase I goof).--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  18:44, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Editing MonoBook media might be more delicate yet tougher than I thought.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:29, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll make you two animated gifs, one reversed of the other, so that the hyudoro's can float the other way than just float backwards. And they will float around in random directions and pause now and again? Nothing too fixed?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  18:44, October 16, 2012 (UTC)



Looking at the recent changes page, I'd have to agree that the orange links don't look good.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  18:47, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Same here, Myself. I mentioned this above: they look similar to redlinks (to non-existent pages). They also clash a little with the grey pages and are not very clear to see. I'd like them to be changed. How about dark green? 18:53, October 16, 2012 (UTC)




 * I changed the links back to blue. We could make them green but it doesn't look particularly Halloweeny and it doesn't seem worth changing at all if that's what we're changing to. -- Supermorff (talk) 18:59, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I can even animate the vanishing animations for them if you want.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:29, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think we should put up a Halloween poll to I actually suggested one to what's your favorite Haunted Stage.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 19:31, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Like this one?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:37, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about the poll I put on the poll page about what's your favorite haunted theme stage saying we should use it for October we can use the pages listed on the Haunted theme page to for the poll. Doing this just might give us that extra edge in the contest what's the point in entering if were not going all out.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 19:40, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I found an article that lists haunted zones, maybe that'll help too.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  19:45, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I actualy made that page not that long ago actualy and that was the page I was talking about.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 19:47, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool! Can Hyudoro's, Boo's, Tails Doll and Sonic the Werehog thrown in the list as well due to their halloween themes.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  20:04, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe next year cause we can your favorite Halloween themed character poll. This year let's leave it to stages but that is Cool as well I must admit.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 20:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * A'ight. While I know "Featured Article of the Month" is for articles that fit specific bills, I am suggesting a "Featured Article of Halloween" which fits the general bill of being either haunting or Halloween themed. We can also have a "Featured Article of Christmas" for the winter stages.--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween 
 * ::: Well why stop there let's do this for every holiday like for Valintines day we can have a Amy skin and make her the fetured articale I'm making a blog right now about all my ideas for this sense I'm no good at making site pages and don't know how.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 20:12, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

So much has happened in the past couple hours @_@. I didn't realize that this would become so important. Not sure what to say besides i like what's being discussed.


 * Very nice mind haunting mind home page to thpse are coll I might leave them year round actualy.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 20:22, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

The hyudoro arn't animated. Did you get the animated gifs I made? Also Supermorff, is it possible for autoplaying YouTube vids on wikia? Like the moment you go on a page with a YouTube video it automatically plays. How is it possible?--<font color="#1CD3A2">Mystic Monkey  is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween  21:12, October 16, 2012 (UTC)



The ghosts don't loop properly. They get to the end of the animation (which is too far down the screen that I can't see them) then skip up to start again. They need to start and end in the same place. There's also a bit where they stop for a moment, which is a bit odd. They also need to be positioned higher on the screen, and maybe at different heights. AND they need to use the proper animation provided by Mystic, after the other issues are sorted. Size and speed look fine to me. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:02, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, no I don't think it's possible to automatically play a video. You could automatically play a piece of music, I think, but I don't know how. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:03, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

AND we need to make sure the ghost gifs don't overlap anything that people might want to click on on the main page, because the gif will get in the way. Might be a way of setting link=null or something, but it might not help. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I moved the one on the right higher (possibly a bit too high). It's quite easy. -- Supermorff (talk) 22:34, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
