User talk:Splarka

Star Wars Fanon
Splarka, we have an issue on Star Wars Fanon. A user, registered as General Arav first claimed to be 12. When I confronted him about it, I told him not to reveal his personal information, and so he changed the story and said he was 15 going on 16. However, soon after, he created an user infobox, where he said he was born in 1995 and his place of residence. Then I banned him, because he was revealing personal information and was under the age of 13. Yesterday, a user by the name of Dark Knight claimed to be Arav's friend and asked if I could unban Arav saying that Arav made the mistake of typing 1995 instead of 1992 (again, claiming to be 15). Therefore, I am sketchy on unbanning Arav, because I have built more distrust than trust in either of them and cannot take their word for his real age. My question is could please "checkuser" on both of them to check if Arav and Dark Knight are one in the same user, please? -- Victor  ( talk ) 19:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * They have an ISP in common, but nothing definitive (no overlapping identical IP addresses). Nothing that can prove that these are the same people. Do you have the exact same COPPA blocking policy as Wookieepedia? --Splarka (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes; the ban if you're under 13 thing. -- Victor  ( talk ) 06:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay. You should see w:c:starwars:Forum:Issues_of_age_and_identity. This policy is being deprecated. --Splarka (talk) 07:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

ul issues
A wiki that I go to (Wii Wiki) has recently implemented some css that changes the default bullet image to that of another. However, this has caused the image to appear in some places where they normally shouldn't, like in the auto-generated toc and the sidebars (in Smoke and Slate, monobook's sidebars appear as they should). The css is at the bottom of the site's MediaWiki:Common.css. Is there any way to fix this across wikia (since I'm sure others may have problems with it too if they try it). I think I've figured out how to hide them myself, but it doesn't help other wikis that undergo the same problem then (plus I don't have sysop access to modify the MediaWiki namespace to implement the fix). Thank you. --Skizzerz talk 17:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now. --Splarka (talk) 07:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Background Color
Hi Splarka, after an hour of trying to configure the background color and still failing, now I come for help.

http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

What I'm aiming for is:


 * Background Color: "wheat"
 * Labels: A darker brown than wheat, but still able to comfortably see the black text.
 * Normal Links: Brown
 * Wanted/Empty Links: Still red.
 * Regular Text: Still black.

If you disagree with all this work (I dont even know how much it is) I'll understand. But can you atleast put the code so I can try to figure it out myself? PitchBlack696 23:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Splarka, did you put in the code? I went to common.css and saw it there. But I dont actually see it myself. Just asking if you see the change. PitchBlack696 01:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you mean by 'labels', but here is some example of the rest: Monobook.css. --Splarka (talk) 05:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks! I'm fine with how it is, but can you make the left side "wheat" too (it's white and the links are blue)? And I've noticed that around the pictures it's white, can you fix that to make it wheat around it too? PitchBlack696 01:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I guess you wanted the whole monobook interface to be that color style? try it now. --Splarka (talk) 20:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Looks perfect, just what I wanted. I'll be coming back later for templates, but I'm just gonna make some edits and improve the wiki for a few more days. PitchBlack696 16:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Me, again...
Hi Splarka, after about a day of fiddling around with some js that I wrote, I realized that I have no idea of how to make it work. The js is at the Magic: The Gathering wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js (second to last box), and the function is called "Cardlinks" (only that function, the rest should work, as I didn't write them). Basically, what I want it to do is pull some attributes off a span and use it to determine which of three other functions to call when it's anchor is clicked. Please help. --Skizzerz talk 15:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The main problem I think, is that you are trying to declare (with var) a single element of an array, which seems to break it. Try instead (outside of the ):  . And then in the loop, simply  . Sort of like this:

function Cardlinks { nocards = getElementsByClassName(document, 'span', 'autoCardWindow'); if(nocards.length==0) return var Link=[];

for(var i=0;i<nocards.length;i++) { Link[i] = document.createElement('a'); //stuff here } }
 * The next problem is, MediaWiki won't let you save all those funny attributes on a span, as they are not legal XML (only  is, of  ). The best thing to do, is remove as many requirements for parameters as possible. After that, you'll probably have to do something like   which can get rather messy (if you need so many options). You then iterate through   checking the class attribute with a , and getting the inner text with   (messy eh). --Splarka (talk) 20:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * A bit, good thing it's going into a template :)! Thanks for all the help! --Skizzerz talk 00:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * sigh* It still is dysfunctional. Do you mind looking it over once more? I have a test on my user page there at the bottom near the seemingly random bits of text, so maybe I'm just trying to test it wrong. I have no idea, though. --Skizzerz talk 02:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Found the following errors: Element should be defined from nocards[] rather than the newly created Link[]. "Case" is the wrong case. You can't appendChild literal text, you have to create a textnode. It works now (or, it does what it was made to do). Clicking the generated link still causes an error, but now you've got something to work with. --Splarka (talk) 08:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, on that post witch i make, i understend what you say, but now i only like to put the SuntaxHighlight (or similar) only in my wiki, not global. I can install this?

Folding Tabs
Hi Splarka. I don't know how to make the Folding Tabs work. I put in the JS and CSS stuff, but I'm not sure how to do the other thing (wikicode). I'm trying to make it work on Symbolism Wiki. Could you please help? Thanks! Swannie talk to me 21:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It worked perfect for me when I went to w:c:symbolism:Template:FoldingTabs. Did you clear your browser cache and reload the page? I added an example and some parameters to the template. --Splarka (talk) 03:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandal issue
(Once again) I was referred to you in IRC for help. w:c:RuneScape wiki has been attacked by a vandal, commonly going by names including "buck nell" somewhere in them. He is using IP changers and hiders to evade his blocks, and has created (at least) 13 accounts so far. Anyways. Kind of not sure what to do about it, or what kind of help to request exactly. Can you help with either a CheckUser (with IP changers and hiders I don't know how effective it will be) or (here's the big one) a RegexBlock for "buck nell" or "buck" names?

Known accounts: Christine
 * BUCK nell
 * Buck 2
 * Buck 3
 * Buck 4
 * Buck 5
 * Buck 6
 * Buck Nell
 * Buck nell
 * I’ll be back
 * I am Buck Nell
 * Dharok the Wretched
 * Mr. zaros
 * N Y Yankeeez


 * They were all on the IP 70.44.249.46. I've blocked this. Let a staffer know immediately, if they come back. I have also blocked an IP range of the Total_Rune sockpuppeter (not related to Buck). Also, also: Rasengan_spy, Danuis_the_king, and Rasengan_the_2nd and a few others appear to be a third group of possible sockpuppets or users of the same ISP (not related to Buck or Total_Rune). --Splarka (talk) 07:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, its odd. I never thought to check this out before but one day User:E-Hero sent me a message in RuneScape saying he was User:Rasengan spy and User:Rasengan the 2nd. I never thought to look at his old E-hero userpage, because he said he had just made a new account. However, comparing the E-Hero page to the Rasengan spy page just now, they're very, very different. Its weird. Danuis the king has been an issue and also used "Danuis" for an account when one got blocked (or maybe Danuis came before the king, don't really remember). He was causing disruption and throwing out personal attacks constantly so we blocked him. He didn't appear to really care enough to evade his most recent block though. I never thought that maybe he had been in possession of the E-hero account, but the writing "style" (if you could even call it that..) matches his very closely. The Rasengan the spy page just.. isn't. At all. Its nothing like how he speaks. I really don't think they were created by the same people. And E-hero and the other accounts haven't really caused disruption (except for this which I just recently found), so I'm not sure what to do. Christine

I KNEW I had seen that style before but could not remember where. This same guy attacked kitsch.wikia.com yesterday. All the pages start with huge text saying "PWNED BY name" followed by dozens of the same image.. in this case a dead bear covered in maggots. --Florence Sopher of Lucan D'Lere (talk/contribs/my templates) 19:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Everyone seeing monobook
Hey Splarka. Is it possible for you to put in some code that will make everyone see Monobook instead of the original page... It's white and its just too confusing to go around, and its not pleasing to the eye. I'm the admin at the Monster Hunter Wiki. PitchBlack696 03:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, we have a new version of smoke/slate starting to be released this week. This has some fantastic features, so it would be a good idea to have a look at that first.  We really want these features to be available to all, so we would like everyone to try this new version, and let us know what they think!  This is a bit of an experiment, but I think it's going to be a real improvement to all of Wikia.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 06:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I've tried out the smoke/slate skins and I actually prefer the Monobrook, no offense to anyone who designed the template, its very good(!). So, how do I get the default template to be like wowwiki's, black or white and the same all the time?Ajwak95 23:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Coloured links
Hi Splarka, could you help me with a CSS thing? Why does my last addition to http://kennisnet.wikia.com/flexibelleren/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css (bottom of page, for changing link colours) change nothing? Could you please reply to me on my talk page on that project? Thanks! Marjon 10:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * replied. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 11:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * That was fast, thanks. I'm noticing that CSS is more complicated than I thought. It would be nice to have a special css for Kennisnet wiki's, but I'm afraid that's beyond my own abilities. Thanks anyway for helping me out, I've learned a bit more about this. :-) Marjon 12:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Randomization? (gamebook wiki)
Hi, http://livrejeu.wikia.com is a gamebook wiki where everyone can create pages or just read and play. We would like to include randomization for games. Is there already an extension for this (i didn't find it) or, if not, can Random text be installed on this wiki? Or maybe a good thing can be to install Runphp Page so that we would be able to make our own code? Thanks. --Ttibot 20:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Extra Tabs
Hello Splarka, Scott?steve? here from the Lost Wikia. Just had a few questions about incorporating extra tabs to the top of pages.

Basically, what we were hoping to do, was add one or two extra tabs to the top of all pages listed under "Main", and have them located next to "edit" and "history", etc. We wanted to have two: "Theories" and "Images", which would then lead to seperate articles, containing theories, and images tagged to that article.

One thing though, we know next to nothing about MediaWiki code, and even if we figured it out, we wouldn't know how to implement it. I was wondering if you'd be able to help us out with that, or at least point us in the right direction as to how we'd go about doing something like that (...or if it is even possible?)

I look forward to hearing back from you. You can message me back at my Wikia talk page or my Lost Wikia talk page.

Thank you --Scott?steve? 01:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. This is possible with javascript, but is not currently compatible with the new skins Wikia is testing. Also, the buttons only would appear after the page content has loaded (messy). The function is called addPortletLink. To do this in native PHP would take a long time to run past the devs (I don't even know if it is possible as an extension).
 * Something better to do is to modify MediaWiki:Sidebar. If the theories and images pages were not in the main namespace, this could be done somewhat simply, but this would probaby require new namespaces (which is a can of worms).
 * The best system really, is to just use the mediawiki template system. Creating something like with links to Theories and Images (or instead of subpages, link to categories, or talk pages, or whatnot). Then one can make  which links to |Main and Images, and so forth. It does require putting a template on every page though. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 05:29, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all the info and all the help Splarka, we really appreciate it. --Scott?steve? 19:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Site Statistics
Hey, I'm a user over at Wikia 24, just wondering why the site statistic on the Special:Statistics page, not only on Wikia 24, but other wikias as well, never updates? Specifically the number of page views, and page edits. Just curious. Thank you. --209.146.241.93 19:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The number of page views can be ignored, as the in-built page hit counter had to be disabled (it would be broken with our caching). The number of edits does increment (it went up by two when I made these two edits: --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 02:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Help with a tricky template
Hi! I have a problem with a template. If you have a moment, can you take a look to this? Maybe you could find what's the problem faster than me. Is c:es.pokemon:Plantilla:Mc. This template shows an image given by parameter 1. The parameter 2 indicates to repeat the image 1, 2 or 3 times. It works fine. The problem is in the alt text of the first image. I want to show as alt text the 1 parameter and, if parameter 2 is filled then add a "x1", "x2" or "x3" to the alt text. But either if parameter 2 is filled or not, always show the "x" in the alt text. And I can't figure out why :(. The template must be used wit subst: and in the template page it shows as how it must be saved in the page. Note that in the template page it shows the code  18px|  without the "x" appended at the end of the alternate text, which makes it more insane. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -@WikiDex 07:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, this is, AFAIK, impossible, because when substing a template and substing a parser function at the same time, an undefined parameter is shown to the parserfunction as the literal string for exmaple (this seems to be a parserfunction bug, whereby the parserfunction cannot use a parameter pipe default). It works if the parameter is null, whitespace, or defined, but not undefined. I've tried it with transclusion (template containing "{"), html (&#123;), &lt;includeonly&gt; and &lt;nowiki&gt;, but nothing seems to work. Check my tests on: w:c:communitytest:Special:Recentchanges (also note, I was also testing something very similar to this for the new createwiki system. We got around the problem by deciding to have the 5th parameter always defined, but null if not to be used). The only workaround I can think of, in theory, is to possibly call your first template to a second template, like  would have contents:  which might make it pass the parameter as null rather than undefined, which can be used in a substed parserfunction. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 08:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks. Knowing that it's not a "syntax" mistake I'll try other system, or using your workaround. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -@WikiDex 08:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Is a bug with  . Using    works fine. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -@WikiDex 19:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Templates issue on MH Wiki
I've tried getting info templates from other wikis, including wikipedia, but the codes wont work on the Monster Hunter Wiki. Is it because you have to put some code in the monobook to allow it or something? I think it's about time I get some templates for the wiki. PitchBlack696 10:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

And also, there's a page I created called "Lobster Hammer." I tried creating a page called "Lobster Hammer+" and it redirects to "Lobster Hammer." How can I fix this? PitchBlack696 14:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The templates often use css classes, subtemplates, and other things that you also need to copy over. Also, some of them use html tables in parserfunctions, which won't work on Wikia. If you give me an example template I can show you the problems/requirements.


 * Plusses are currently disabled in article titles on Wikia, due to their odd behavior. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions) (note that they allow them, but we currently don't). --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 05:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay thanks for the link. I fixed the problem by saying "Plus" instead. Can you go to the wiki and delete "Lobster Hammer+" and "Lobster Hammer +"?

Here's a template that I would like. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi Would I have to be specific with the information that would be on the template. Or can you just put it there, and I can easily put the info I want there myself?

Also, can you make me a beaureacrat? The only beaureacrat there has made 5 edits since 2006 (literally) and I doubt he's coming back. I've been the current admin there for about 2 months and everything is going well. PitchBlack696 08:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Are you offering to adopt this wiki? If so, you should first try to contact the 'crat by email (or on their talk page if no email is set). The plus titles are probably bad titles, and if so I cannot delete them either (have to wait for the next bad title purge). --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 09:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I've already adopted this wiki 2 months ago. I'm already an administrator, but I never got beaureacrat powers. And what about the templates? PitchBlack696 14:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There are over 30 templates used on that article. Can you be more specific?
 * As for bureaucratship, perhaps you should answer these first? --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 06:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Ohh, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even notice she responded, I figured she just ignored me. But okay, I just figured there should be atleast one bureaucrat on every wiki.

As for the templates, I'm talking about the character template. Where it shows his age, alliance, ect. Can normal sysops put templates into their wiki using the monobook? Or does it have to be staff? PitchBlack696 13:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, you don't even need to be a sysop, or even need to be logged in, to copy templates. Any user can create a new template on almost any Wikia site. You just need to create a page in the Template: namespace. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 08:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Can you please do the first one for me? I've never done this before and trial-and-error doesnt sound too good of an option now. After youve done the first one, I can just follow your footsteps and I'll be able to do it anytime. Just put in the Jedi infobox one and I'll fix it up. PitchBlack696 16:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Please? =) PitchBlack696 15:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * w:c:starwars:Template:Jedi_character_infobox is rather esoteric and specialized for that wiki. If you tell me more specifically what you want (like a generic character infobox) and what parameters you want (which can be either required or optional), it might be easier. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 07:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

These AP classes are killing me, I hardly have time to even go on the wiki now. But anyway, I'm going to request this template to be made.

the frame will be brown. The name at top of image. The image.

 * w:c:monsterhunter:Template:Infobox_Monster example. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 08:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

The template is missing some things. Like the habitat, other monsters in relation, the japanese name is too small. I'd also like to add something else, a picture underneath the monster image. It'll be like the threatened bar in Wikipedia, saying how endangered an animal is. PitchBlack696 01:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Those parameters are there but optional. Try it on w:c:monsterhunter:Template:Infobox_Monster. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 08:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Try what? How do I make them appear, not optional? PitchBlack696 03:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Bot
Hi, I'm supergeeky1, Administrator on Darthipedia, and I recently created a bot called 4-LOM. I noticed on Wookieepedia that you had once changed user memberships of a few bots to the bot membership, so users will be able to avoid seeing those edits on the recent changes. I hope I made sense just then. :) Anyway, I was wondering if you would be able to do the same for 4-LOM?  Thank you very much. Supergeeky1 (The Cantina) (My Edits) 01:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. You probably don't need a bot flag yet, especially if you are just now learning how to use a bot. In such cases it is best to have the bot changes show on recent changes so people can keep an eye on it. If you ask again after testing it more thoroughly, then I'll +bot it for yah. --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 06:01, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Poll Problem
Hey Splarka, just following through on the poll question I asked you about in the IRC. I noticed that you popped in on Wikiality.com and posted something. Does that mean the poll thing has been fixed?

Is there anything I should be doing differently so this thing can get some attention? Also, Can you show me the place where I can post concerns, like you did yesterday (I believe you called it a "ticket" or something?)

I would like to get this fixed as soon as possible and want to have some kind of way to follow through.

Thank you.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

api.php
Would you happen to know something about this file ? It seems it's not installed on wikia and the last version of my bot software need it. I've downgrade the software but now it just keep asking to upgrade when login in. Do you think i can ask for the file to be installed ? Can this be done only on one project ? Thanks for your advice. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 03:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * api.php is a standard part of mediawiki now, and it is more trouble to disable it than not. Your bot must be configured to use the proper script path, which is null on Wikia "/", and contrarily on Wikimedia it is "/w/". See http://fr.guildwars.wikia.com/api.php --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 03:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, i was sure wikia was always up to date with stuff... Thanks, i'll report this over to wikipedia (i dont think we can change the bot's behavier ourselves). — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 04:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The dev of AutoWikiBrowser dont want to adapt it to be usable here. They said it's me that should ask wikia staff to do a symbolic link in /w/ so that the software could find the file anyway. On my part, i've tried getting the source code but it use My.Settings wich is not supported by SharpDevelop, i dont have MS-VisualStudio. So, all of the future versions of AutoWikiBrowser wont be useable on Wikia sites, even when it does not have wikia in the URL, unless Wikia decide to make thoses symbolic links. In the mean time, i've downgraded my installation to previous version wich has somes bugs and is more demanding(?) on the servers.
 * That's it, i just wanted to let you know.... — TulipVorlax Talk 21:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

infobox not in right place.
Hi. When I finished making a infobox, I wanted to try it out on a page, but instead of going to the bottom and being horizontal likes its supposed to, it creeped up to the middle of the page and was vertical. How come? Every wiki I go to, theyre at the bottom. Maybe theres something in the code you need to fiddle with?

Oh, and thanks for making the template a few weeks ago, I'm experienced enough now to get a fair manipulation out of it, and learned to find other templates and add them. PitchBlack696 23:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the template of type Template:Monsters is usually called a navigation box, an infobox is usually the name for the things at the top right, or right side, with info, rather than navigational links. Anyway, the problem seems to have been that it wasn't using a clear (which prevents floating elements from being beside it), so that the actual floating infobox above it was trying to squish it. Should be okay now? --Splarka (talk) &lt;Staff&gt; 08:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
