 * That is called sockpuppeting.

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)

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)

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 ?

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 = /\[(ctrl-)?(alt-)?(shift-)?(esc-)?.\]$/;

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)

Another Trick
Since it was some of the tricks that you listed that inspired me to start it. I've just been working on an interesting trick to modify the searchbox. You had one which added a whois searchbox, and another which converted the searchbox into one which jumped to the view or editpages of an article. I've made an interesting trick at Anime:User:Dantman/searchswitch.js. The trick first creates a extra box above the search box. Inside that there are 5 links (Search, Article, Editcount, Prefixindex, and Listusers). Using those links makes the searchbox area flip through 5 different types of boxes. Which basically match the forms on the respective pages. So Editcount gives you a box to fill in a username. Prefixindex has a From textbox and a namespace dropdown. And Listusers has a groups dropdown and a username box. It's not completely finished yet because I still need to do some css to make the inputs fit in right the way the searchbox did. And I need to do something to make the style of the new box match that of the searchbox. Also, unfortunately this only works at the Animepedia because unfortunately it requires that a wiki have a Anime:MediaWiki:Namespaces.js and a Anime:MediaWiki:Groups.js so that it can fill in the Namespaces and Groups boxes. ~Dantman(talk) Mar 21, 2007 @ 14:33 (UTC)

Reducing includes while splitting code
Since you were the one mentioning about the includes in css I thought you'd be interested in a new mediawiki trick I thought of for large ammounts of CSS. I've managed to reduce the number of files the browser has to load, while allowing the code to be split up among even more pages. If you remember my use of Anime-Common.css and Anime-Userbox.css I found a different way to include Anime-Userbox.css into Anime-Common.css while at the same time splitting Anime-Common.css into even more files which don't half to be included by the browser. I now have, Anime-Box.css, Anime-Userbox.css, Anime-Content.css, Anime-Forum.css, and Anime-Misc.css. Which allows me to organize my CSS code better. But using the @import method of including all of them would strain the browser because it would half to load even more files. So I used a different trick. Inside of Anime-Common.css instead of @imports I have template transclusions. And inside of the @imports which include them such as Common.css I add &templates=expand to the @import link. This means that all the CSS can be organized into multiple files but the browser only has to include the Anime-Common.css file because the transclusions do all the work (And since the cache only has to change if you change the .css like it would anyways, it's not a server annoyance either). I would use this trick to make it so that I don't need to use the @import inside of the @import, but that wont work out with the cross-wiki stuff yet. ~Dantman(talk) Mar 23, 2007 @ 03:23 (UTC)

Muppet Wiki css
Hi, Splarka: I'm curious... What was the test that you were trying on Muppet Wiki? -- Danny (talk ) 01:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I was trying to wrap just the auto-summaries into a span so they could be hidden with css (but not destroyed/lost forever). However, I realized after reverting, that the auto-summaries are passed through a separate limited parser used for recent changes/histories/contribs/etc which parses almost nothing except wikilinks, so html tags of any kind is not allowed.

Need a CSS rule...
I'm trying since about 1 hour and half, maybe more, to fix a thing on that page that dont look good. Scroll down and you'll see a thumb of an image. And the background of it is what i need to change so it be the same as the page. Can't put it transparent because of the line that sections have could be seen trough. I've try to look at the source of the page as we all can do with a left clic. I've found that is the main box of thumbs images but it does nothing when i add body.ns-4 .thumb tright to the rule that set the background of the project namespace (Guild Wars Wikia: that is). Even CTRL+F5 did nothing. I don't understand. Can you help? I'll need to add a similar rule to every customized namespace. Thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 14:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry if I'm hijacking the talk page. But firstly, you would use  to reference that element (that space is telling the browser to look for a element with the name tright which doesn't exist). The second thing I found out after a little while of annoyance trying to figure out why it wouldn't change colors. Is that that area you're talking about isn't the background. It's a border. So if you use   then that area will disappear. I don't understand why a border was placed around there in the first place. If they wanted an area around the box to have things pushed away from them they should've used a margin. If you want to know my little secret trick to easily figuring out how CSS will work. I use the WebDeveloper extension for Firefox. You might want to try it to with all that CSS, you can edit the css and view exactly what it will look like if you make those changes to the file, without editing anything. Also in the Information menu there's a Show element information option which will show the list of ancestors, with their tagname, id, and classes of any element you hover over. And if you click on it you can get more information about that individual element. It's handy for cutting down hours of fooling around and cluttering up the recentchanges. ~Dantman(talk) tricks  Mar 24, 2007 @ 14:46 (UTC)


 * I though of that. But using a border is silly, isn't it ? So i discarded it. Duh! I'll try it... And for CSS i have TopStyle Lite. I mostly never use Firefox. Everyone say we should only use Firexfox now because IE is not secure, but IE7 is a little better than IE6. Aside that, i'm really not the kind of person to get viruses and others things like that. Five years, maybe more, that i have my computer, never a single viruse. Except when my gaming french friend send me a file las year... no problem, Avast! found it. I use Firefox or Opera only to verify that my websites (like this one ) looks the same in all of them.
 * All that just to say, explain, that even if the Firefox extension (that i have) is wonderfull, the problem was not my tools, it was just the silly used of the wrong property (tough i did not verified that theory yet). I would never do i thing as silly as that on my web site. But, that been silly is just one point of vue. Maybe they have some good reasons to have done that. Who know?
 * Ok, i'll go try it. Thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 18:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Please, don't discuss my not using of Firefox here anymore, do it on my talk if you must.
 * Here the "good" CSS rule for people that would want to do the same :

border:none; margin: 5px 0px 5px 15px; }
 * 1) content .thumb {
 * The margin can be ajust as you want. The main benefit of using #content .thumb is that this will do for all thumbs in all pages. Thanks Dantman. And thanks Splarka anyway. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 18:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Just a note, you don't need to use  in order to resize an image. Also, you can make your own border as you want:


 * (for example) --Splarka (talk) 05:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, we've been using image resizing a lot. ^^ But div around image are mostly to add padding to them. MediaWiki should had tough of margin or padding when designing the iamge system. See ya. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 13:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Help with a template
Hi Splarka! Seeing as you are such a coding guru, could you help me with w:c:war:Template:Infobox Military Conflict? It's a template that has been taken from Wikipedia, but it doesn't work correctly in WarWiki. Battle of Dunkirk is an example how it should work, but it just doesn't work.

Lie
I asked you the following on a email. I found out about a Jurassic Park wiki a couple of weeks ago and I have tried to contact the founder but He has not been on in a couple of months. I have contributed a lot and was wondering if I could adopt that wiki. I would love to be a beuracrat and I would love to run the site. Thanks a lot, Chaosman92

You replied :

You should probably hold a mini-election to see whom everyone can agree on, and then contact us again with the results so we can implement them.

Regards, Splarka

You said That I could be a beuracrat if I held a mini election. I did, and you said that I would not become a beuracrat. Why did you do that? Chaosman92 20:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. That really wasn't a proper vote, with the only two people voting being people you had promised to admin when you "take over the site".

I realize I must sound really annonying, but I'm going to be very bold now. ;)

So, do you have any estimate when the globalsysop group is made? I'm sure (as I've seen) that you staffer are very busy people, and there's a lot of vandalism around (as of writing this, on KOTOR Wikia, for example).

I think it could be very useful, though there should be some kind of rules who could even try to apply for globalsysop group.

Anyway, nothing more now. Thanks. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Having learned from our mistakes with the global staff flag (such as on Uncyclopedia) we're looking at the alternative ways to approach this. Patience! --Splarka (talk) 07:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for this info. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If the issue was abuse across wiki, a sysop tag which spanned across Wikia which were grouped together (Memory-Alpha, Unicyclopedia, Wikia Anime Project...) might be an idea. If it was a technical issue with implementing a semi-shared system, I already built one awhile ago. Sadly I have nowhere to give this info (already tried e-mailing) ~Dantman(talk) tricks Mar 31, 2007 @ 12:52 (UTC)

mainpageLang in Common.js
if(!document.getElementById('otherlangs')) return; if(navigator.language) { // mozilla/firefox var lang = navigator.language.toLowerCase.substr(0,2); } else if(navigator.userLanguage) { // explorer var lang = navigator.userLanguage.toLowerCase.substr(0,2); } else { return; } if(lang.length!=2) return;

If you declare the lang variable inside a if, outside the if the lang variable will be undefined. Try to declare var lang before the if :-) --Ciencia Al Podertalk-@WikiDex 10:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yah yah, still experimenting with it. --Splarka (talk) 10:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, technically, there is no problem for lang to be undefied, because the if fail is a return; --Splarka (talk) 10:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
