Navbox Help
Hey, how can I do an Navbox with a hide button? --Matias arana 10 19:01, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Take a look at w:c:dev:ShowHide. If you need help, try asking on Forum:Help_desk. There are many users well versed in javascript and templates around to help you setup what you are aiming for. --Uberfuzzy 21:57, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Shout Box
Excuse me Uberfuzzy, but I need help. For some reason, the Shout Box function isn't working properly for me. Whenever I try and post a comment, it shows the visual for loading, but nothing happens! What's more, whenever I go to a different page, the shout box disappears, regardless of wether or not I tried to leave a message! I'm not having this trouble with other widgets, and it's happening on all the wikis! Could you help me?--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 22:18, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * We're looking into this. Some other users are reporting the same thing, but not everyone. --Uberfuzzy 01:19, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Really? Thank you thank you thank you!!! Now, could you tell me what the problem might be, because I've been around for months, and the problem occured just today, so I know I have all the neccessary programs.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 01:50, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing on your side. I think something in the widget system changed in this week's update. It was fine just a few days ago. --Uberfuzzy 01:53, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Whew! So, why is it affecting only some Users and not others? Most of my friends on the Sonic News Network and Sonic Fanon Wiki are regular users of the shout box, and they ain't having any problems.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 01:59, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Hey Uberfuzzy, I was just wondering if any progress has been made in fixing the shout box.--Kagi mizu -Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 17:43, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me Uberfuzzy, but I wanted to ask you again if even a little progress has been made in finding out what is wrong with the Shout Box, and fixing said problem(s).--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 05:02, October 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * No progress as far as I know, but I havent made it to checking the opened bug tickets yet today. We're getting more reports of it, so its not just one person/browser/isp/settings. stay tuned! --Uberfuzzy 22:24, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Believe me, I know that much (it affecting multiple Users). In fact, it's also affecting Twilight, a User I know (who do you think gave him the link to your talkpage?). However, it hit him a few days after it hit me; how that might be relevant, I don't know, but it might be.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 22:34, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Uberfuzzy, have you made any progress or not!? Sorry, but the Shout Box seems to have deteriorated even further! The loading bar doesn't even show now!

Sorry. It's just that I use the Shout Box to talk to all of my friends on the wikias, and while I've been able to get along well enough, the wikias just aren't the same.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 17:29, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, the Shout Box has been unaccessible to me for at least a month now! Do you know anything about what's being done to resolve this issue, and why it's taking so dang long? I'm sorry about bugging you about an issue that I know you can't solve, but I don't know where else to get any info about this problem. Is anyone else even still having trouble with the stinkin Shout Box?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 18:53, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Ticket number 15954
Hey Uber,

I was just checking up with this bug. As a reminder, when an image is moved, it leaves a redirect, and the redirect shows up in Special:Unused files, even though the image it is redirecting to is being used. It basically floods Unused files with useless data. We discussed how you were seeing it not as a bug, since the new name of the image isn't used anywhere, thereby making the image actually being unused while the redirect is being used.

Anyhow, my peeps asked about the ticket status, so I figured I'd ping you. :)

Thanks!

Side Widget Bar
The left side widget bar will not show up on any of my pages (the search bar, the recent changes box), at least, not after a very long time.

 * In the page source sent to your browser, the sidebar is loaded after the page content. Maybe something in your page is stalling out the page from loading. There seems to be a lot of content under "What's new on Sonic Fanon Wiki" section, including that animated image from someone's signature, and a few polls. It could also be something from the spotlights, or ads that are stalling out your page from loading, such as if you have an incorrectly setup adblocking system. Or it could be from some other unknown piece of code stalling out the page from loading. Have you tried clearing out your browser's cache files? --Uberfuzzy 21:02, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

How do I make an article with a forward slash "/" without it thinking it's a sub-page? Alpheta 02:28, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

83.161.230.43
Please give the IP 83.161.230.43 a cross wikia bann. That means a block on every single wikia there is. I am sure such an action is a possibility. And this IP has been vandalising ever since 2007 on every single wikia it is on. The user (Pierlot, Klaast, PatatjeOorlog) curses, threatens other users repeatedly and removes text from articles. He has been given numerous changes. Not just one. Or two. Or even ten chances. No. He has been given as many as 30 chances if not more. And now it is over. Only a crosswiki bann can stop him. He keeps staling and harassing me and others, and he does not stop. Every single Wikistad user agrees this is the best solution.

He vandalises on several wikia projects. On WikiStad, WikiNation, Fictieve Landen, Spoorwegen Wiki and on every other website he is on. Every single time I try to reason with him, he either insults me, threatens me or symply revert my edits. I try to ask him to stop. And he threatens me to die.

Here is my userpage:

http://nation.wikia.com/wiki/User:Pierius_Magnus

It reads:


 * Magnus moet dood! Magnus moet dood! Magnus val dood! Magnus val dood! Magnus krijg een crosswiki-ban! Magnus krijg een crosswiki-ban! Magnus krijg de de doodstraf wegens belediging van bepaalde mensen! Magnus krijg de de doodstraf wegens belediging van bepaalde mensen! Magnus vergeet alle wiki's en verveel je! Magnus vergeet alle wiki's en verveel je!

Which means:


 * Magnus has to die! Magnus has to die! Magnus has to die. Magnus gets a crosswiki bann... etcetera. Magnus gets the deathpenalty.

That is roughly what he is telling me. He also wants me to catch deadly desceases. And he compares me to Adolf Hitler. He is incredebley racist. He call other users "aapjes" ("little monkeys") and he wants us to get cancer... he keeps doing this vandalism. And nobody can stop him. He has been banned on WikiStad. But on the other wikias, he continues his blatant vandalism. Only a crosswiki bann can stop this crazy guy. The things he is saying are very disturbing. Dr. Magnus 19:08, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please stop with these threats and ignore me 83.161.230.43 14:11, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

As you can see, Uberfuzzy, this guy wants me to "ignore" him... but how can I ignore him? He deserves a cross wiki block for what he has done. Dr. Magnus 14:13, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * IGNORE ME!!! 83.161.230.43 14:14, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Another idea
Hey, a few months ago, I had an idea for putting a lot more light on featured articles. At the beginning of the day, eight outstanding articles are chosen to be randomly displayed in a bar at the bottom of each page, which can hold a link to four of the pages, as well as the first three sentences, or 300 characters, of the pages being displayed, whichever comes first. When the user clicks "More", they go to a page containing the first 500 characters of each article. Also displayed in the bar is a "User of the Month", with the user's name and a short summary of how they have contributed to the wiki.

I know the bar can be created and transcluded onto each page, probably in the same way the sitenotice is, but exactly how would I go about doing it? -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 18:39, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Log action removal
Hey man, if you get a chance today could you remove some Assaulthead/Babylon log actions from Star Wars Fanon? He registered an account called "Brandon da dicksucker" and then I banned it. It'd be great if we could get the account creation and blocking removed from the logs so the obscene content doesn't appear on the RCs. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:28, November 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Four more have been created. Would you be able to remove all of those as well? There's a lot of obscene content on the RCs now because of it. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:33, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler type-thing code help.
I require some assistance with a spoiler type code I'm looking for.

I want to make a spoiler template that has a Show/Hide button, and that will allow me to put information into the spoiler so that when you click show or hide, it shows or hides the information. Also, the ability to customize the title (what I mean by title, is that when the information is hidden, I don't want the spoiler box to say "Spoiler: Click here to view", I want to be able to change it to whatever I want).

Is this possible? <div style="cursor: default; display: inline; white-space: nowrap; border: outset 2px #000000; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: orange;"> λ T 19:53, November 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * You could use:

<div class="NavFrame" title="[ ▼ Show ]{{#if:[ ▲ Hide ]|§[ ▲ Hide ]"> {{{title|}}} <div class="NavContent" style="font-weight:normal; background-color: transparent; text-align: left; {{#if:{{{hide|}}}||display:none;}}"> {{{content|}}}
 * This way the variable |title= allows you to change the title, and the variable |content= allows you to add the content to the template. Don't forget to add  to the wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js. I hope this is what you mean :). <font color=#3CB371>Mark {{sup|(Talk) • (Contribs)}} 20:00, November 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was gonna use this on the World of Warcraft Wiki, on my userpage, but seeing as I'd have to edit the Common.js, which I believe I can't due because I'm only a normal user, I'll thank you for the code, but I can't use it. Thanks anyway, man. <div style="cursor: default; display: inline; white-space: nowrap; border: outset 2px #000000; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: orange;"> λ T 20:39, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

How does one access http://images.wikia.com/rappelz/images/...
I realized after the fact that the Widget_sprite_rappelz.png which I uploaded to the File namespace local to rappelz.wikia.com probably best belongs at http: //images.wikia.com/central/images/f/f8/Widget_sprite_rappelz.png

I could not figure out how to access images.wikia.com

Would you please advise if and how I could have done that myself?

--najevi 00:08, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh? Why would it be better on central? People can use the url of it from rappelz anywhere. I'm not understanding --Uberfuzzy 07:22, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

The various images used to customize the Monaco skin at rappelz.wikia.com are not located in the File namespace local to that wiki. I did not understand why that is. I had left a note for User:Drennan asking about this and I have just now read his response. He'd uploaded those various skin images at central by mistake. So ... mystery solved!
 * Being new to skin customization, I thought that maybe I'd learned the wrong place to upload such things.

Yes, I have recently learned that URLs can be used to tap into images from just about anywhere including those from wikimedia commons and wikipedia. Having said that, I still prefer to be able to locate all required "building blocks" local to the target wiki. -- najevi 09:59, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * AH! finally, that makes sense. We always wondered why that was, but given that wiki's very indepth skin, we didnt want to mess with it. Feel free to move them to that wiki, change the css, and mark the ones here for deletion. --Uberfuzzy 10:01, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hello Uberfuzzy. Recently I sent in a request for assistance with the "wiki.png" logo file for my wiki located here.

Spam problem at the Thief Wikia
Hey big boss,

It seems that there is a rash of random spam articles, almost daily at the Thief Wiki (http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/delete). Though manageable, it is becoming quite annoying. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Big McLargeHuge 05:23, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Problem
Hello, I was planning on doing a Conker Fanon wiki, however, there is one already made, however the admin doesn't seem to be active for a while, and his grammar needs improvement.
