Curved corners
Hey,though I've been using this feature for a long time I still dont know the code to curve the corners of tables...do help me:)


 * That's CSS. It works like this:


 * Yields:


 * You need all 3  properties, or it won't show up in every browser. Also note that border radii don't show up in most IE versions - but you can't help that, it's Microsoft's fault.

Hey I'm talking about the curved corners,like in you signature:)--


 * I thought that would work, although apparently wikitext can't make corners on tables. Try putting this in Common.css:

 table { -moz-border-radius:2ex; -webkit-border-radius:2ex; border-radius:2ex; }
 * That should work.

On you user page,you got a template right?..the template has it's border rounded.I'm talking about that code.Thanks:)


 * That is the code..

Thanks a lot buddy..I've got a question,where should the "px" go?.Is it ?:)--


 * You can use  for border radius, but I usually use , which is just a different unit.

One more thing
Please make this appear in one piece!(in a single box,should not be too much of length but can be as wide as possible)

 * Yep it is in the same line for me too.
 * I mean I want all of 'em in a single box(can be of any length,but smaller width)..:)

Fun with code
I have a project for you and it should be fun. I am having problems with an annoying user on Bleach wiki. He thinks he knows all there is to know about wikis and is constantly showcasing "his" css and js to the newer users. Really his css and js are just copies of my own pages. Think you can develop some code that will just mess everything up for him badly enough that he will stop trying to copy everything I do?--


 * I have mixed feelings about this:I luv the idea(I usually do this type of stuff at my wiki!)..but what?Godi thinks this way?lol!

Common.js issues
Hey, I tried what you said for my Common.js issue at Combine OverWiki, but nothing changes. :/ Help! Klow 19:21, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * At the end of the  function at the top of the page, instead of , use.
 * Still broken! Collapsing template still gone! Klow 00:29, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * In the  function near the bottom, the replace line has an extra   at the end. Just in case, I checked ahead this time - that should be your last syntax error, so it should work once you change that. Also, SiPlus has added a few functions to your Common.js that violate the ToU - For example, the one that unbinds listeners on  . Staff will make you remove them later anyway if you leave them there, it's just easier to do it now.
 * Oh man, that's fixed, at last! Thanks! I'll remove that, but what is it exactly? :/ Klow 10:59, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it this:You've seen the topmost bar on the wikia right?It contains dropdown menus for different wikias,the code empties it.I think it's that.
 * Sort of. The function unbinds the listener that fires when you mouse over the menu - it stops it from dropping down.

Layout pages
Is there a way to know all the pages that were created using the Layout builder?


 * I believe there's a way to find all pages created with a specific layout, although I don't know how. I tend to ignore LayoutBuilder, because it forces RTE use.

Missing Images
Hi Monchoman45, I'm an admin on the Hogwarts RPG Wiki and we had to shut down our House Points system because two images went missing. I contacted a Wikia Staff but they didn't reply. Do you think you could help? Thanks, Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  12:46, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm seeing all the images fine. What browser are you using?


 * Safari. But you see File:Gryff.png and File:Puff.gif? And speaking of the RPG, did I do the Facebook thing for the RPG right? Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  13:08, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, both of those are there. The facebook entry also looks good.


 * You see 4 hourglasses, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 I just looked at it and noticed they were fixed. I'll find out who did it. Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:20, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

City of Wonder Wiki
Hey Monchoman, I've been using the Sig code now for quite a while and everything going smoothly however for some reason, the code has disappeared off the Sig/Real page for the City of Wonder wiki and now the time stamp isn't showing on my sig line. I've tried re-adding the code as before but for SOME ODD reason, it's not saving it this time. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks mate for your continued help! :-)


 * I'm seeing it on the page you linked. Is the problem still there?

Man is this tempre-mental (sp?) or what? lol! What browser are you using to see it?
 * The sig bar is there (in the City of Wonder wiki) but the time stamp (in the City of Wonder wiki) isn't showing. I've checked it using Firefox AND IE8 with the same results, even clearing cache to make sure I wasn't missing something. I add the code to the edit box, when I preview it, it's not showing nor once I save the page it's not there. Also on some pages, such as my talk page it's showing as: 20:39,5/22/2011
 * P:S: also on this wiki Logo Creation Wiki the code sig line is showing as well prompting me to think there may be something changed in the Special Preferences area ? It's now propogated to several wiki's :(((
 * P:S: also on this wiki Logo Creation Wiki the code sig line is showing as well prompting me to think there may be something changed in the Special Preferences area ? It's now propogated to several wiki's :(((


 * You need a  page, like mine, or it won't substitute properly.


 * Amazing how we can miss one tiny detail and the whole train rumbles to a dead stop!
 * Thanks! And in the meantime please overlook my lapse of intelligence :-) All fixed!



Warning notification
Hey, me again. My wiki has a spoiler notification that appears at the top of every page. It is only appearing for registered users but I would like it to appear for everyone. It uses the following codes.

CSS /*spoiler warning*/ .warningmessage { color: #ff6500; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/okami/images/4/43/YamiIcon.png);

JS /*spoiler warning*/ if( ( wgAction === "edit" && wgNamespaceNumber > -1 && wgNamespaceNumber % 2 === 0 ) || wgPageName === "Special:CreatePage" ) $(" Ōkami Wiki contains spoilers! Read at your own risk!   ") .prependTo(skin === "oasis" || skin === "wikia" ? '#WikiaArticle' : '#bodyContent');

Do you know how to get it to appear regardless of whether a user is logged in or not?--Soul reaper 04:28, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I dont think CSS loads for anons:)


 * CSS loads for everyone, just like JS. A few things I notice with this:
 * You need a closing bracket after the CSS.
 * is broken - it's almost always edit on all pages, regardless of whether you're actually editing a page or not.
 * The closing  tag is missing the.
 * It may help to put parenthesis around the condition part of your ternary operator.
 * You don't need to use,   will do - types can be confusing in JS, as one object can have multiple types. Strings and numbers, for example, are essentially interchangeable in many cases.
 * Of those, fixing  is the most difficult - instead, use , and put this after your JS:

<pre style="margin-left:48px;"> function urlQuery(quer) { for(i in location.href.split('?')) { for(j in location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')) { if(location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')[j].split('=')[0] == quer) { return location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')[j].split('=')[1]; }		}	}	return ''; }
 * That should fix it.
 * Hey on our wiki,anons still see the "image added by" stuff while the css doesnt allow it
 * Checked on my sandbox wiki, and CSS definitely loads for anons. There's probably a different problem with the CSS.
 * Hmm! I'll inform the community about this.Thanks:)
 * I made the changes you suggested but it still only appears for registered users, any other suggestions or is there perhaps a larger error on the wiki?--Soul reaper 04:30, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably a larger error. Unfortunately, my school proxy blocks your wiki, so I can't check what it is at the moment.
 * Alright, thanks for all your help--Soul reaper 01:31, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just looked at it - interestingly enough, none of your CSS ever loads. Not for anons, nor for logged in users. This is probably due to a syntax error in the code, as in some cases the browser will simply discard a file that throws a fatal error while compiling.
 * That's really weird, the spoiler warning shows up for me. Do you know if it can be fixed?--Soul reaper 07:17, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
I saw what you put in response to what I put on Sannse's Talk Page, and I would be sending this to Dopp normally, but I have a few questions:

You said the situation is being handled or worked on, and that it takes a while to figure out who is who. Does that mean the bans could be changed, or not?

Dopp might think me and the users involved are the same people, so that is why i'm leaving this on your Talk Page.

I know you can't talk against your colleague, and I don't expect you to, but can you kindly give me an explanation about that comment on Dopp's Talk Page that she made to DroidX? I forgot to put that DroidX is Vanessa Brandon under a different account. The comments they exchanged made it seem like there was a purpose to allowing Vanessa to create a second account to get John(Lupojohn) banned. I'm not accusing, rather asking.

Thank you. Kindly respond when you can. MarissaDunn 17:54, May 25, 2011 (UTC)MarissaDunn


 * Dopp is handling the situation. Staff are checking ips to see who is who and will ban the alternate accounts and the originals that need to be banned. Leave it to Dopp to handle.--

WA-->RC
Is there a way to change the button that has "Wiki activity" to "Recent Changes"?...I lately became a RC fan:)


 * Check out his blog :) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 08:55, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thanks buddy:)
 * Also how do I change the "Random Page" to the "logs" page?(is there a way?)
 * Put  underneath the line that starts with.
 * So we can basically change it to any link we want?
 * Yep. Any link can be changed into any other link.
 * Yep. Any link can be changed into any other link.

Parser Evaluation Order
Hi! I made a while ago this forum and I thank you again for your answer. About my problem with the parser evaluation order, if you don't find a solution tell me so I'll know that it can't be done. Of course it's not an urgent matter, so don't worry. leviathan_89 17:36, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Duke Nukem Wiki CSS
Would it be possible for you to adjust the Duke Nukem Wiki's CSS so that it can properly display portals, like here? Darkman 4 22:42, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * This needs to be sent to Special:Contact and they will enable the portal namespace so it displays properly--
 * I've sent a request, but someone has said that the wiki's CSS needs to be slightly adjusted as well. Darkman 4 22:44, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * The boxes need CSS, but that's it. If you're thinking about the rail, it should be removed by default when Wikia enables the Portal: namespace for you. If it's still there after they enable the namespace, add  to MediaWiki:Wikia.css.

Eversor Guild Wiki
Hey Monchoman, can you or someone else in the know take a look at our CSS page and change the background for the edit box back to white and the text to black (such as appears here when editing?) We borrowed a CSS page from another wiki to help get the Scrolling center area, and somehow in the mix our background changed to black. I've tried changing it to white using the Theme Designer but to no avail, and I've tried changing the html color codes on the CSS page where it looked like it would take, but still nothing has changed. It's currently black with/grey text and talk about tough to see! Thanks so much for helping fix this annoying issue!

We may have two different CSS pages working against each other :( so keep whichever we need, heck get rid of them all, whatever works and whatever helps! <b-grin> </b>

<b-grin>Common CSS and Wiki CSS </b>

<b-grin>Indebted, </b>


 * In Wikia.css, change  to , and it should be fixed.


 * That fixed it nicely! Thanks again for your consistant support and knowledge :--)

Right
Get this to float on right buddy:)--


 * Like that?


 * yeah...thanks a lot(another user asked me for this and I didnt know how to:))--

Comment highlighting
Can you gimme the code to highlight a specific user's comment on blogs(personal JS/CSS).Thanks:)


 * Use this:

.comments li[data-user="Username"] blockquote {background: code !important;}


 * Slightly more complicated than the above, the code that's used to highlight staff (which you can edit) is:

I have the first code in my CSS..it doesnt work:(
 * Well the glee wiki has them in it's MediaWiki:Wikia.css and it works except in Google chrome which shows normal users with it when only admin's comments are highlighted.
 * Hmm! It just doesnt work no matter what:(
 * It works fine with me. Do you use Chrome?

.comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote { background: #8B0000 !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote:after { border-color: transparent #8B0000 #8B0000 transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote div { background: transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {font-family:Kristen ITC !important;} .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {color:#FFF000 !important;}

The first three .comments are for highlighting, the fourth is for font and the last is for font color.--

Hmm! I added the code and I'm waiting for the effect to take place..@F1:I use FF and Safari.Thanks anyway guys:)

Forum Problems on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi, I'm having problems with 2 forums on the Hogwarts RPG Wiki. If you see here, 2 forums say that they were never edited but there are some, if you look here, they were edited. Could you help? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:54, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and the same on the Forum:Index. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:55, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was able to make Forum:Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures work, using this page (which you can delete now). I'm not sure why it won't work for the other pages you have in Category:Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures, but I think that putting Template:Forumheader/Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures on those pages will make them show up. If you don't want the banner at the top, you can remove it from the template or hide it with.


 * I believe the pages must be in the Forum namespace also. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 17:02, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that - yes, those pages must be in the forum namespace. Alternatively, you can go to the forum list page and delete, although for organizational purposes it's probably better to have them as forum pages.


 * I was able to fix everything but the Summary1 so I deleted it. Thanks for your help! <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  17:24, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Small Text Problem on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi, I have another thing I hope to get your help on. On the Hogwarts RPG, Shooting Starz's talk page's writing is small once you get to the bottom. I was looking at it and the small writing starts right under this. The page is too small to be archived and I don't think we should take off the template. Could you help? Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  21:43, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see all the writing normal sized. What browser are you using?


 * I'm using Safari. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  21:59, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I changed to Explorer and now I see it fine. I told Shooting Starz to try updating her browser and/or archiving her talk page. Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  22:16, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Archiving the talk page won't fix the problem, just isolate it. It also may help to not use  tags, which are deprecated.

View on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi Monchoman45,

If you go here, you'll see Bureaucrat Admin underlined at the very top of the user page. (On the same line as the user name.) How do you do that on the Hogwarts RPG? Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  12:34, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would appear to be the PHP. I checked through all of the admins' pages for any sort of hook, and came up empty handed. It may be part of the new userpage layout, which is worse than the old one in a few respects. So instead, put this in your :

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function AdminUserpageHeader { $('head').append('<style type="text/css">\n/* From UserProfilePage.scss */\n.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups{*display:inline-block;float:right;margin:7px 5px 0 0}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups:after{content:".";display:block;height:0;clear:both;visibility:hidden}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups li{font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;background-image:url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb37682/common/skins/oasis/images/checkers.png);background-position:0px 14px;background-repeat:repeat-x;float:left;height:20px;margin-right:7px}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups li span{text-decoration:none;color:#3a3a3a;}\n '); $('#WikiaUserPagesHeader h1').after('<ul class="user-groups"></ul>'); //Admins if(wgPageName == 'User:Head.Boy.Hog' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin') { $('.user-groups').prepend('<li> Admin </li>'); }	//Bureaucrats if(wgPageName == 'User:Head.Boy.Hog' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin') { $('.user-groups').prepend('<li> Bureaucrat </li>'); } }

addOnloadHook(AdminUserpageHeader);
 * That'll give you exactly the same thing. You'll need to add each admin's and each bureaucrat's name to their respective s in the way that they're there now.


 * I'll do that. Thanks! <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:43, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's okay, we don't need it since we're going to get more users and we'd need a lot more admins, rollbacks and bureaucrats. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:55, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Inter Wikia Pics (On different Wikis)
You know how you can add w:c:WIKI DOMAIN:PAGE NAME to a page to add a link to another Wiki's page? Well can you do to add a picture from another Wiki? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  23:59, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, the File call will search for a pic on the wiki starting with w:c: then--


 * And  will simply link to   on , and display the text  . You can put just the full url of the picture on the page, but it won't link or be in a thumbnail like a regular picture. However, it might be possible to mimic some of the ways files are handled with a template.

Summary dropdowns
You get a dropdown menu of summaries while editing the Runescape wikia,can I have the code for my JS/CSS..that would be very helpful for me:)


 * You might want to ask the Runescape Wiki admins. I can't access Runescape Wiki from where I am now.
 * You at school?
 * Yep. Only one more week, luckily.
 * I sorta figured it out...Can you access my JS?...I get the dropdown bar but no content!
 * Can you link it?
 * My JS?..here.
 * Think you missed my message
 * Yes you did!
 * Yes you did!

(unindent) Sorry, time's been tight recently. The code is trying to load Template:Stdsummaries, which obviously won't exist on most wikis. You'll probably want to get the HTML from Runescape Wiki's template, and then hardcode it into the JS by replacing "HTML" at the bottom with the HTML from the template: $(function {	var $label = $('#wpSummaryLabel');	if (!$label.size) {		return;	}	$combo = $(' ').attr('id', 'stdSummaries').change(function { var val = $(this).val; if (val != '') { $('#wpSummaryEnhanced,#wpSummary').val(val); }	});	$label.prepend(' ').prepend($combo).prepend('Summaries: ');	$combo.append('HTML'); }); Hopefully that'll work, I took out the whole Ajax function which looked like it had a calibrating step in it, although I don't think it's necessary.


 * Thanks!..check out my JS,and see if what I've done is right(It doesnt work).

JS Help
Hi Moncho, I have the following wiki link: 'community.wikia.com/index.php?title=&action=edit'. How would this be written in JS, and how could the result of this be used in a html link tag?


 * Rappy 19:30, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * , if you want the whole thing. And here's a list of the variables you're most likely to want to use for stuff, as they would be for you on the page Forum:Community Central Forum:


 * There are a few more technical ones and a few convenience ones, but you can do most of the things you'd want with those.

Underline titles
Hello there, how do I change the colors and thickness of the lines under the titles within an article? I'd also like to have lines under each subtitles. Good example here. I'd like a stronger and thicker grey under "Features" and a line under "Reception and control complexes" as well. Klow 13:17, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You must use this:

h1 { border-bottom:XXpx solid #808080; margin-bottom:XXpx; } Just replace h1 with the particular headline number (h1, h2, h3, h4 and h5) and replace "XX" with their values.
 * That works but not only for the article titles. So even the wiki logo is underlined. Plus that it doesn't work for the "==" titles. Klow 15:08, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like Finchelfanno said, replace h1 with the header type you want to change. == is h2 === is h3, etc. Try .WikiaArticle h2, .WikiaArticle h3 { border-bottom:XXpx solid #808080; } Rappy 15:50, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Particular CSS not working in MediaWiki:Wikia.css
Hi Monchoman! I figured if anyone could answer this question it would be you! On our wiki, we like the edit window to have a red background if the page being edited is fully protected. This acts to remind Administrators that they are editing a fully protected page and to take care. You can see an example . The following is the CSS that we use in MediaWiki:Monobook.css where it works perfectly:

N.B. The above code was changed to the new better code. Original input is here. — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  6:43PM EDT, June 17, 2011

Unfortunately, it does not work in Oasis, despite the code also being in MediaWiki:Wikia.css. I thought that it would at least work when one is editing in Source mode. But, it does not. The only thing I can guess is that the editing area in the RTE is called something other than. Any ideas how to get it to work in Oasis? Thanks! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  5:06AM EDT, June 17, 2011


 * I'd disable the RTE in your preferences under editing. While it is possible to color the RTE background, it's a pain to find the correct reference, as the RTE is a giant mess, in its abilities, its coding, its structure, and its numerous errors. You also don't need all the namespace classes in the CSS -  does the same thing as what you have there.


 * This is because Wikia dropped the ball with the RTE and didn't forward the original classes to the RTE text field. From the looks of it, there is no way to do what you want with the RTE other than with JS to see if the hidden original text field (source mode) exists and to color .cke_text (whatever the class is) with the color you want. Might want to Special:Contact the fact that those classes are lost when using the RTE. Rappy 17:10, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you both for your input! I thought that there might be a way to at least change it in source mode. But, now that I read both of your responses, I see that that is not easily possible. We are trying to reduce the need for users to have to rely on Monobook, of which this is only one aspect, and so are looking for ways to provide the same overall functionality in Oasis. Regarding Special:Contact, in reviewing the new RTE, I did mention it to staff. They indicated that they understood the comment, but I do not know if they’re working on it. Thanks again! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  6:43PM EDT, June 17, 2011
