Club Penguin Wiki:Message

Hello Club Penguin Wiki users! You may have noticed the new notice whenever you get a new message. It says: "You have a postcard!" Some of you have been confused about this and I wanted to clear it all up.

What do you get in Club Penguin? A postcard, not a message. The Harry Potter Wiki changed their message to "You have an owl!" I just think it would be fun and creative if we incorporated Club Penguin more into this wiki.

• I really hope this idea makes it through the vote. Since the Community Corner changed so that now the Mascots are featured, I was hoping this could become more "CP-like" also. ShrimpPin Talk to me! 12:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
• I understand ShrimpPin was trying to be creative, but a postcard still doesn't make any sense. Check this out, ShrimpPin, how about just changing it to "You've got mail!"~Bman2007Jazz (Talk) 15:44, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Not to be mean or anything, but it does make sense... What I've been trying to tell you this whole time is that in Club Penguin, you don't get "messages" or "mail"- you get postcards. Even though postcards have pictures on them, you can still write your own message... ShrimpPin Talk to me! 18:44, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

• I understand that there is no such thing as neutral. So don't annoy me about that. The reason that I am neutral is because I am currently to unable to decide what to choose. Once I have decided, I will put my vote somewhere else. I am neutral because 1, I partially agree with Bman about "postcard" not making sense, but I don't see much of a Club Penguin-themed alternative.--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{SPEAK TO LORD VOLDEMORT...} 19:37, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
• I think I speak for most users when I say, who cares what it says? I'd be okay with it even if it said "You have an ostrich" The thing 21:36, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

You know what? That's exactly what it'll say on April Fools' Day. :) ShrimpPin Talk to me! 21:49, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Also, what would you think about having the new message thing themed for various CP events?--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{SPEAK TO LORD VOLDEMORT...} 21:53, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

That's a really good idea! I like it! What do you think, Bman? ShrimpPin Talk to me! 13:11, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

I've placed my input on this. You can decide, all I want you to do is discuss it with the community, not just us administrators. It makes us look like a poor, dictatorship based administration. At least from what I see. ~Bman2007Jazz (Talk) 21:44, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Bman, I just wanted your input. This is the comment section. It's open to the public, not just the Admins. Even though I was asking your input, this debate is open to anyone. Does anyone have an opinion on this? -ShrimpPin Talk to me! 14:00, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

How do you actually do this? Randomno 08:31, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Randomno! I'm confused- how do you do what? Vote? You just edit the category in which you would like to vote and sign your name. If you're talking about changing the message, that's classified "Admin-only" info. :) -ShrimpPin Talk to me! 14:00, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

• If were doing this why dont we just change the bar to postcards instead of messages . Happy65

Happy65, I don't get what you're saying. Did you even read the top part of this? That's exactly what we're doing. Why did you vote against this if you want it to say "postcards"? If you like how it says messages, vote against. If you like how it says postcards, vote for. ShrimpPin Talk to me! 18:48, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

• Im against that and I did read it . Also this site is concentrating too much on projects instead of pages.Happy65

Hi Happy65. I understand what you're saying, but I disagree. This is the first project we've had in a very long time. Other than this, we are focusing on pages. ShrimpPin Talk to me! 00:06, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

I dont even know how to change the message on my wiki . Im an Admin . Please will you tell me . Happy65

Hey The Plush. I voted for you to keep the "You Have a Postcard" message. By the way. I have alot of wikis, and I was wondering. How do you change it? Master Talia 19:22, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Master Taila. I'm not really sure how to change it (I've never been an admin on a Wiki before), but you should probably ask ShrimpPin, since he knows ;) ~The Plush (Talk!) 05:36, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

To change the message . Type in on the search of your wiki Mediawiki:oasis-notifications-youhavenewmessages . Then change the message to what you want . Happy65
