 * That is called sockpuppeting. All three of those users were created the same day by you (or by someone you had with you, which is then just called meatpuppeting), edited from the same IP as you multiple times (moved with you both times), and were created all within a few hours of each other. --Splarka (talk) 23:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You are only banned from requests due to your disruption there. Your request has been decided on. Go to the existing Wikia and add content. --Splarka (talk) 23:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thoose people were my mother and my brothers. They had been wanting to create one for a while. They decided to make one on that day because they wanted to support me. They were not asked by me. I am telling the truth. Quinlanfan


 * While our policies are not the same as Wikipedia in all cases, their definitions work for our purposes. See: Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry. They and you are only banned on requests, therefor you may not make any more Wikia requests for 1 month.

Before all of this, ge said that I could be in charge of swgaming wiki. now he says i can't. Could you please tell him to reconsider that. It was not my fault. Please tell him that. Thanks a lot Quinlanfan 23:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * If you mean this conversation, yes, just start contributing first. --Splarka (talk) 00:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

loading remote styles.
What browsers don't like that? Well, I'm not to worried about my peronal styles. But I guess I'll half to use .js for the wikia anime project stuff. Wait, I can't do that for Anime-Common.css, If I do then it won't work when users aren't using the monobook style. Dantman (Talk) 19:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You'll have to wait for the Common.js functionality (coming in the next version) to get everyone. Just a reminder: be sure to restrict the Anime-Common.css to content formatting, and not to overall skin/style (as every skin has rather different menus/interface ). --Splarka (talk) 22:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I just use the Anime-Common.css for basic things like my box styling classes (used in shared templates mostly), universal things such as the forum css, etc... All the stuff there is stuff inside of the #bodyContent area. I actually have a Anime-Monobook.css counterpart already referenced if I ever need to do global css which is only applicable to the Monobook skin. But each wiki itself uses it's own Monobook.css to give itself it's own layout style. Dantman (Talk) 02:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Goodgood, for now just have the css loaded from MediaWiki:Monobook.js, later can be moved to Common.js. ^_^ --Splarka (talk) 02:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I kinda think it's more common for a user to turn javascript off then to browse with a browser which dosen't support double @imports, I'll stick with @import for now. (Though when google analytics is setup I'll look over what browsers most the readers and editors use and see if anyone of them don't support the double @import). As for .js, I gave up on the Wikiview Clone thing, though I might ask for help if I run into an issue building a licensebuilder for the Wikia Anime Project (I have a set of templates PD, CC, and GNU which license things, they also have functionality for general/self/and user modes (Excluding special ones) but not only does listing all the different options in MediaWiki:Licenses take up room, but it can't do the user options, or allow for the url of a openclipart image to be added. So I'm planing on making a .js tool which will replace that dropdown box with a tool which will have a set of changing boxes and selections to customize a license, then it'll insert it into the summarybox when the user presses add.)

Mystery user block
Hi there, I was wondering if you could shed some light on this mystery. This user seems to think his username has been banned, but when I check the IP block list there is nothing listed.

"For some reason my user name on WikiJet (Kazekiri) has been blocked by Splarka. The reason given is vandalism, and I don't know why since I haven't actually edited anyone's pages yet other than one I started myself. If there was any vandalism, it was not intentional. Anyway, I'd really like to continue to contribute to WikiJet, so it would be good to have my editing powers back."

Can you help? I certainly don't want him to be blocked.

Cheers, Bobo12345 00:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I often have to block open proxies globally for vandalism. Can you have them tell you their IP, and also if they are blocked globally or just on jet.wikia ? --Splarka (talk) 08:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hidding Css trick deprecated
Can you show me where is that info, i will like to read more about it --Cizagna (Talk) 06:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The main trick before being deprecated was to use  class="hiddenStructure" . Wikipedia:HiddenStructure. You can continue to use it and other CSS tricks here, but be aware that it would be best to stop using it as soon as we get Tidy (which will allow much cleaner parserfunctions in tables than we can currently do). --Splarka (talk) 06:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, i have review the info very interesting found other useful stuff, i already posted an alternative with parser functions but was unable to keep it separate for each row and had to make them chain, and i did not found other way to do it, neither here on wikipedia as both had the same effect of where a blank row was keep if even it there was nothing and my guess its that wikipedia has tidy on --Cizagna (Talk) 20:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Iumb
Hi. AS a user on both Wookieepedia and SWF, I have noticed that Wookieepedia has somehow managed to alter their Template:Iumb to have curved ends. However, whilst trying to acheive the same affect at Star Wars Fanon, I failed dismally. As you seem to be the most knowledgeable when it cmoes to html and css coding. I was wondering if you could take a look and help. Many thanks. – Jasca Ducato Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There were several problems. Had to copy over a bunch of CSS, and you had two copies of the bottom template, rather than a top and bottom template. --Splarka (talk) 09:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Tricks-Update on "Did you delete the talk page?"
I don't know if you know it yet. But if you want to update your tricks page, I've been using parserfunctions inside of MediaWiki:Deletedtext at the animepedia for the trick from your tricks page. So parserfunctions work now. Dantman (Talk) 04:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough (delayed until I had time to sort through /tricks). --Splarka (talk) 23:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Stats problem?
Hi, I dont know if you're the right guy to ask this but i'm sure you'll point me the right one if needed. In w:c:fr.guildwars, on the w:c:fr.guildwars:Special:Statistics page, it still say that we have 0 view of pages. I wonder what's wrong with that. Might be normal though, i don't know that. Is it ? Normal i mean. Thanks --Tůζip Võrζąx 01:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

List_of_Wikias_by_User_Zephyrinus
Dear Splarka -

I have a code query. If you look at the Business Section of this list (which is under construction), you will see a notation that European Business Education indicates "abandoned" along with hyperlinks to the special pages of All Pages and Active Users. I was planning on copying and pasting these hyperlinks to each individual entry and then changing them to so that they pointed to the Wikia reflected on that particular line-item.

It would be of great assistance to me if the number of "active pages" and the number of "active users" (as well as the last modification date) would automatically appear (and be updated) each time this list is accessed. This would allow me to appropriate label Wikias as "abandoned" without actually having to visit each individual one. This, I expect, would save a great deal of time. (This labelling of "abandoned" Wikia might also be helpful to those of the Community Team who might be interested in removing these "abandoned" Wikia - but don't let's get ahead of ourselves.)

I know little of Wikia code. Is it possible to have a number appear of, for example, "active pages" without having to visit each Wikia - as I spoke of in the previous paragraph?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Respectfully,

Zephyrinus 01:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This has been looked into before. I think the conclusion was that it would be impossibly system intensive to keep 'live' (that is, everytime a wiki article was added on say, marketing.wikia, the system would have to go through and search every single page on every single wikia trying to embed that number). So, if it did get implemented, it would suffer from problematic caching (as our interwiki template system does, when it is working).
 * One solution is to host such a list offsite, and then automatically update it from Special:Statistics?action=raw periodically (examples: central marketing). One such site that does this on Wikia is http://s23.org/wikistats/wikia_html.php . --Splarka (talk) 03:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Skip the "and will be updated" portion of it. Is it possible just to generate the numbers once?


 * Respectfully, Zephyrinus 12:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope, not with wikicode anyways. The interwiki template system is broken enough that requesting new features for it at this time isn't going to be useful. --Splarka (talk) 19:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Zephyrinus 22:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Jurassic Park
I got your email and the election is set to end on the 16th of March. I will let you know the results then. Thanks, and here is a link to the page: []. Chaosman92 17:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Tooltips
Thanks for the info on the hotkeys. Does that mean that the newer wiki code will read the setting of ui.key.contentAccess and adjust the tooltip text accordingly? I looked at Wikipedia's wikibits.js, and the hard-coded prefix there still reads "alt-", yet the tooltips there show (for me) "alt-shift-". -- Renegade54 23:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In the wikibits.js, it only checks the browser version (but anyone switching ui.key.contentAccess probably knows they've changed it).

/** * Set the accesskey prefix based on browser detection. */ var tooltipAccessKeyPrefix = 'alt-'; if (is_opera) { tooltipAccessKeyPrefix = 'shift-esc-'; } else if (is_safari 	  || navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase.indexOf('mac') != -1 	   || navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase.indexOf('konqueror') != -1 ) { tooltipAccessKeyPrefix = 'ctrl-'; } else if (is_ff2_x11 || is_ff2_win) { tooltipAccessKeyPrefix = 'alt-shift-'; } var tooltipAccessKeyRegexp = /\[(ctrl-)?(alt-)?(shift-)?(esc-)?.\]$/;

Your tricks page helped me doing many change here w:c:fr.guildwars:MediaWiki:Monobook.css. I like when pages have different color per namespace. See ya. §: TůζipVõrζąx Talk 07:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Will the software upgrade break some of it ? §: TůζipVõrζąx Talk 23:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't. It should actually expand the functionality of it. You'll be able to have different colors per page name when needed (assigns a semi-unqiue css body class to every page). --Splarka (talk) 23:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Insult
What you said on JP wiki really offended me. I filled out an adoption form and I held a vote like you asked. I set a time limit and We got the results. What I asked you was: could I be a beuracrat on there. You told me to hold a vote. I did, and the only two other user voted for me. Therefore I should be a beuracrat. I would like it if you would take what you said on JP wiki off. That makes me look like a bad, greedy person. I am not. You said I could be a beuracrat on there If I won the vote. You are not sticking to your word. Thank you, Chaosman92 23:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
