Welcome
Hi, welcome to Dexter Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User blog:Kate.moon/Dexter: Avenging Angel Poster page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Wikia (Talk) 22:48, August 22, 2011

Your Work
Thank you for those navbuttons, they are pretty darn good =). We really could use some more help around here admin wise, unfortunately the other guy isn't around as much and if you have some ideas for design on the Wiki, I'm open ears.  I've been wanting a Badge System here for the longest while, let me know if you have any ideas on how we can put that on here.    TVthePunisher 21:47, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Achievements
I love the look of your achievements on the site, I have seen them on the True Blood wiki as well. Do you have any ideas on which Achievements should feature certain characters, the types of achievements, etc. we can work with here on the Dexter wiki? TVthePunisher 00:47, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, that works for me. Actually that sounds really good =) I'm thinking since Mike Donovan is Dexter's first shown victim (though not the actual first), maybe that should be one of the first badges. I'd like to see the list you can compile =) Make sure to include popular villains, such as Arthur Mitchell and Brian Moser.

Characters
Absolutely, anything you can do to help fix it and make it easier to use would be greatly appreciated =)

Well thanks =P I've seen these around for the longest time on different Wikis, some people have images of characters and fancy text but...I loved your version enough I had to try it out for myself. It's simplistic, stands out and for some reason mine is bigger than yours o_O but either way...I did some tinkering and came up with a look I liked for mine =).

Mainly for some of the pages, specifically that character page, I built on existing code but I have to agree that it turned out rather messy. I'd love to advance this place more and need someone with the general knowledge to take care of it. I did what I could but I'm no pro .__.; all I know is that I came in here in a time when the site had constant trolls and the other administrator wasn't all that active (which is understandable, there are times when I have to be away from here as well).

Front Page
It's no problem, I have to agree it does need a severe makeover. If you have any ideas on how to spice it up, have at it! You should have Administrative capabilities now, in fact you're just the person I've been looking for. With Season 6 on the way, we'll be getting some traffic in...I would love for this place to be cleaned up as much as possible! Thanks for all your help by the way, it's really appreciated.

Dexter's Page
Very nice, I like that his Character and Killer profile are now separate tabs =)

Re
I can make a new one. How about... Dexterpedia? I've also got a background idea, on my userpage (here) that I'd like to share. Just click the link at the bottom of my page. 15:57, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I will. *dexter face* hehe :P 18:05, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re2:
Hi again, I understand that "D" isn't a unique name, but when an article needs to be deleted quickly (not to mention Wikipedia and most wikis use "D" as some form of deletion template, so it's easier to memorize), a short template name can be an absolute necessity, especially on larger Wikis. 16:02, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion Candidates
Hey, can you take care of The Mosquito? 00:35, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not the point of a Wiki... the point is to keep good information on articles which relate to what the Wiki is about, not spam articles like that. 00:49, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

I just joined.

Re
I've alerted a bureaucrat. 01:51, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Chat
I'm in chat. 02:19, September 5, 2011 (UTC) In again :P 22:55, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

The Site Looks....
...spectacular! Holy Mother of Dexter, I had my jaw drop just seeing how amazing it looks. Made a slight edit to the countdown (it had October 10th instead of October 2nd) but otherwise, wow.

But down to business...there has been a report of the first episode of this upcoming season being leaked on the internet. My stance on this is that we shouldn't allow any edits including information from this episode that hasn't been released via trailers or otherwise. Since the episode has not been released yet, anything about it that hasn't been public yet should be kept in the dark.

I have instead proposed an idea, of working on characters while avoiding spoilers...see Ben and Roger as an example.

Let me know your view on this.

Chat
I'd like to ask you about a few things, ping me in Chat when you've got a chance. 17:52, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Homepage Idea
This is my idea. 19:23, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Btw, I also just edited your talk page to remove the Candidates for Deletion category from it, in case a bot is ever gone to make those pages vanish. ;) 19:25, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Character Profiles
Hey, did you create the new profile boxes? They are overlapping into the paragraphs inside the articles...and are a bit larger than I expected. Just letting you know of this error, I was going to revert it back but I believe it may be due to different sizes of an individual's screen. Is there a way you can edit the box in order to support all screen sizes, to avoid the overlap with the main body text of the article? Let me know when you can Lt.

Re
No prob. Dexter is one of my current obsessions, and this wikia happened to be in need of another good editor :) Le Rusecue 21:50, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Character Profiles
I've noticed that these new templates list all the characters as main characters when that isn't the case like Carlos Guerrero. Is their something you can do? Hito7187199 22:54, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Crat'd
I went ahead and granted those rights to you, sorry I didn't take care of it when you first messaged me. I've been really busy as of late but that's cooling down now.

Re: Good News
I'm shocked. In a very good way. I've never been nominated to be an admin before. Thank you for the offer. It's very exciting. Le Rusecue 21:09, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been editing a lot lately. Probably will be for awhile longer, too, what with the new season and all. I happen to get on rolls when editing, to a point where I can't stop sometimes. As for the CSS and HTML, I know some, always wanted to know more, though. Le Rusecue 21:27, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Alrighty! Does it matter what it is? Le Rusecue 21:32, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, awesome. I'll get right on it. I won't promise anything, but I might write the plot for some of them over the weekend, if I can. Le Rusecue 21:42, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and yeah, it is, and L.A. Noire and Dead Rising. Though, the wiki's could be in much better shape. Haha. Le Rusecue 21:43, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thank you so much. Trust me, I won't abuse the right. God, it feels like I've been promoted. What am I now, Lt. Le Rusecue? Haha.

Now, onto the edits. Also, before I go, I want to ask about something. Do you remember the name of the boy that Dexter almost killed when he was a teenager, but Harry intervened because it would not have been a right kill? I've been wanting to add him to the "attempted victims" part of the article, but I couldn't recall his name. Also, would it be alright if I changed the "Big Bad" article, to prepare it to be name changed to "Antagonists"? Pending your approval, of course. Le Rusecue 21:56, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I will. Now, as for that list. It's not necessary. As I predicted, everything but the first and the last are stubs. Some are even inaccurate. Now, I hate to say this, but I won't be able to get too many edits in today. I have to go do something right now. I'll see what I can do as soon as I get back, though. As for the boy he almost killed, I'll need to find that out later on. Not too hard, since I have all the seasons. I think it may have been season 2. See you later. And thank you! Le Rusecue 22:12, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Contests
That actually sounds pretty awesome man, yeah that sounds great! =) I'm sure it would definitely pull in some more readers and editors as well as visitors in general.  Sure, go for it!

Re: Thanks
Thanks. I'll keep up the good work for as long as Dexter holds my interest, which looks to be a long time. You keep up your good work too! Le Rusecue 01:41, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Mainpage idea
Alright, I can do that... but how do I make it look the same without using the mainpage class? And how does that restrict the use of mediawiki? Works fine on the RuneScape wiki, and just think about the traffic that they get daily. If you've got some ideas, make them up and show them. Thanks. 12:33, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

New Category
Hi Lt. I've been thinking of making a new category, and I was going to, but I wanted to know if creating a category here was the same as it was at Wikipedia. Do I just pick "create a new article", and then put "Category:" before it? Thanks. Also, I read what you said about Zoey Krueger. Haha, I thought I was the only one. Le Rusecue 21:42, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. And yeah, she was. Such a shame she had a screen time of less than 15 minutes. Le Rusecue 22:20, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Wait a second, do you mean when 'm editing an article, or do you mean when I'm just viewing the article? Le Rusecue 22:46, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. that's odd. I don't see anything that says "add a category". And nah, I'm not gonna sign up for the contest. Le Rusecue 23:07, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, the old fashioned way, eh? Thanks. Sorry for being such a complicated bother. Le Rusecue 23:20, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. Also, I just finished reading the first book in the Dexter series, and it is excellent! I'm about to read the second. Have you ever read any of them? Le Rusecue 02:07, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Problem, sir!
I'd like to point out that Wikia is experiencing a bit of a bug. Pages which are protected, but are able to have their source code viewed, are bugging. If one is not an admin and is unable to edit a page, said person is also unable to view the source code for said page. Just keep that in mind when protecting pages. I was going to work on my mainpage designs a bit more, and I'd like to have the present source on hand so I can work with the present layout and see what's templated, etc. 02:45, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Episode summary
Hi Lt. I was just wondering, if TV isn't online tonight, and if it wasn't too much trouble, could you give me a summary of tonight's episode? I'm probably not going to be able to watch it tonight, and I can't wait for tomorrow. Haha. If you can, that would be great, but if you can't I understand. Thanks Le Rusecue 00:40, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Lt! I would wait until tomorrow, but I honestly want to contribute at least SOMETHING from the new episode. Thanks again. Also, I'm not sure if I asked this earlier, but have you ever read any of the Dexter book series? Le Rusecue 00:46, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome! They are excellent, aren't they? Plus, his kill count (so far) is easier to track than the TV show, by far. I'm almost done with the second book. Le Rusecue 01:22, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Emmett Meridian
Listen, I know he is not technically a serial killer by most standards but he does hace a killing method. Some other sites refer to his killing method as mind fuck which is basically stripping away their victim's will to live and letting nature take it's course. Look it up if you don't believe me. One such example of this, besides Meridian, is Cold Case's John Smith. Hito7187199 03:07, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

No problem
Hey it's fine man, now worries. I covered a few characters yesterday and I'm taking a break now, looks like I'm going to have to go back through Season 1 and pick up any characters that haven't been covered yet. Quite a few actually at this point.

Background
It's a cool idea man. I'd like to somehow incorporate blood into it otherwise I feel like we're looking too much like the True Blood or even the Twilight wikis hah hah. Yeah, if you can find a high-res picture it'd be good man. You sure you want to switch to a fullscale black-orientated theme for the site? Granted this Season it would make sense but I'm wondering if the community overall would like a black look rather than the white. Hm...

There seems to be an issue with the infobox, they terrible in the new style. I don't know why but the text is white and the background itself is a very light color, so it can barely be read. I've tried reverting it back to the older styles (until you're around to look at that) using the theme designer but my page refuses to update with the old white with blood look. I want to make sure the pages look good and if nobody can read the info in the infobox, that isn't going to happen unfortunately .__. let me know if you have a fix.

Re: Coding
Awesome! What can we expect from this? Better yet, when can we expect it? Le Rusecue 07:48, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

The Table
Sure man, go ahead. How are you going to update it? By actually editing it, or coding on it to make it look different? Either way, I'd like to see it before hand. If it's editing, could you show me how to do it, since I plan on making a few more tables around the wiki. I'm sure I'll like how it looks either way. Le Rusecue 04:59, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome, man! When do you think you will have the table coded? I can't wait to see what it looks like after you get done with it. Hopefully some of the boxes won't be as fat. Tell me when you get done working on it, okay? Thanks. Le Rusecue 23:14, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I can condense some of them, remove a few pictures. Sometimes per paragraph you might see like two pictures and that's pretty frequent on the Gellar/Travis page now that I think about it ;>_> the pictures that get moved (quite a few will remain in the article body itself) can be placed into a Gallery section for that page.

Background
Hey there, I've gotten my own internet back now, so I can again resume making stable and steady contributions. Also, I couldn't help but notice that you are using the background that I made on my test wiki (I think that's the one!). Anyway, I'm on a school computer, so I've got to go. If you want, I'll be in chat around 4:30-ish PM EST. 14:34, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki names
Some that I got from the fourth book I thought were unique and could potentially by good names: Dexterama and Dexterville. Haha, a bit goofy, but better than what we tossed around last night..... Except for "Surprise Mothafucka!". Also, I just started reading Dexter is Delicious today, after finishing Dexter By Design! Le Rusecue 23:15, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Episodes on navigation
Hello there. I was visiting this wiki, and I realized that you managed to put all twelve episodes on each season in the navigation menu. In other wikis, I've been trying to do the same, but it only let me put ten names. How can I do that? ~Playsonic2 20:11, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, that will do fine. :) ~Playsonic2 23:05, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

How
How can I join the chat? Hito7187199 01:48, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Rusecue and I have already established creation of Passenger pages, so Gellar is technically one as well and deserves his own page separate from the man who was alive. Anyways, I need you and the others in chat asap.

I need you and Rusecue to help me with something. I need you to add the template for "Fairuse" (use the typical template borders, you know the ones) to each image on this Wiki. I'm trying to find out more on what we need to do but I can't do this alone. Over 800 images, I will need the both of your help. See me in the chat ASAP and leave a message on the talk page for http://dexter.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiPim, Pim notified me about this issue so we should handle it accordingly.

Dexter Wikia logo things
Hey, I was checking about, and noticed that you had some images made with "Dexter Wikia" at the top, with a nice looking Dexter logo and some quote at the bottom, but you have to change it. This is a Wiki, not Wikia, as Wikia, Inc. is the company that was co-founded with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and Wikia, Inc. founder "Angela", if I'm not mistaken as her name. Otherwise, they look fantastic, and I'd definitely vote for the one near the top which is red and shiny, saying that we slice the other cheek. :) 14:54, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Dexterama Beta Version 5 D.png
I think that this one is the best version. It goes better with the Wikia texture, and the colours of our Wiki. 19:07, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Holy Grail of Resources on Locations
http://www.seeing-stars.com/dexter/PoliceStation.shtml Just refer to all the filming locations here, you can find ANYTHING from the earlier seasons. They might have info on the current season as well, but it will help as additional information to place on all the different pages.

Chat...
Next time you're on, we need to talk.

Bloody Gross?
More like Bloody Brilliant! At least we have things agreed on =)

Featured User
o_o I...I wasn't expecting that. Um...oh wow uh...thanks Lt! That's actually a pretty great honor for me, I've never been featured on anything before so...thank you again ahem. =)

Antagonists
I would like too talk to you about the antagonists when you have the chance. Probably not a good time since it's Chirstmas just get back when you can. Hito7187199 20:56, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
