Improvements for Blind Wiki
Hello JSharp. I need help to modify the Blind Wiki for blind screen reader users. Can you help me or can you suggest potential helpers? You can find details about needed changes on the main page. What do you think? Thank you and have a nice day. -- Per 07:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll help you with that soon. -- JSharp (talk) 17:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, Usually we don't set the default skin to monobook for a newer wiki as it is not officially supported but in this case and because of accessibility issues with monaco we've decided to do so. I'll look into your other requests soon and see what I can do. -- JSharp (talk) 20:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Template and Conditional
Hey, I've heard Angela say you're good with templates, so I'm wondering if you could help me with my problem:

I need help placing all the highlighted part of: http://wikia.pastey.net/85335-1cb5 into the "then" part of an if statement:. I know I need to change a lot of the |s to |, but I seem to keep missing some so I get expr error. The original template is here: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nicolasjager/Template:Weapon/Simple/Complexer

I'd prefer if you answer me on my talk page: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Nicolasjager

Nicolasjager 16:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * http://shaiya.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Nicolasjager/Template:Weapon/Simple/Complexer&oldid=4915 was my attempt at replacing the |s in the if statement with | Maybe I missed some, maybe I replaced to many, or maybe something else is the problem...  Nicolasjager 17:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oy, now that is a complex template. It'll take me while to look at, I'll get back to you when I get a chance to take a look see. -- JSharp (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've simplified the code signficantly. (58kb to 38k). Took out the Available From and Dropped By Columns. (Which I'll later place elsewhere where they won't interfere with the ifs for the slots.


 * New Version is here: I made you a copy: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nicolasjager/Template:Weapon/JSharp .  Now it's just this: http://wikia.pastey.net/85517-amvt highlighted that needs to go into the then part of an if statement. Nicolasjager

Template and Conditional: Solved

 * I mananged to figure it out. http://shaiya.wikia.com/index.php?title=User%3ANicolasjager%2FTemplate%3AWeapon%2FSlots_Iffed&diff=5176&oldid=5175 shows the changes made.  I must have missed a few | the first time, or perhaps put too many.  Nicolasjager 16:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Bot
Thank you for making me a bureaucrat at Manga. I also need a bot flagged. Do you mind doing it? User:AnimeBot. Dantman and I are planning on moving the wiki into Wikia ACG, and AnimeBot is the bot that does template syncing and things. Thanks for your help. DragonBallZ 02:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. -- JSharp (talk) 00:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Text Field and Button: Add code to article?
Hey JSharp. Got another problem for you: How can I made a field box and button such that when I click the button it adds a new line of code to a given article? Here's an example: The highlighed text is what the button would add: http://wikia.pastey.net/85516-2zaa. The original Template is here: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Data/Weapon/All-Stripped/SB and after adding the line it's this: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Data/Weapon/All-Stripped2/SB Nicolasjager 05:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, in this case you'd need to follow the instructions here: http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Custom_edit_buttons . That should be everything you need :) -- JSharp (talk) 02:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Eincyclopedia decided to create new 3 name spaces:
 * 1) איןציטוט, with the logo: Einchitot.png
 * 2) איןמילון, with the logo: Einmeelon.png
 * 3) מדריך, with the logo: Handbook.png

can you create these name spaces please? סוזה מן 04:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done :) -- JSharp (talk) 23:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

What About the logos? 11:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm adding the custom code for that now. I had to find and customize some CSS for your wiki. -- JSharp (talk) 16:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I'll be happy to help. :) -- JSharp (talk) 16:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Images (again)
It seems most of the pictures on WikiStates, when viewed on Firefox, cannot be viewed (as seen here for instance). I don't know what's happening—it's not just my cache, I know that much. Blast 12:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is strange. I'm using firefox but those images appear fine for me. Can you send me a screenshot and tell me about your system? -- JSharp (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Seems I had AdBlock inadvertently set up to block them. Blast 11:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Putting in a template help

Axis Management Systems Ltd
Hey JSharp.
 * Happy to remove Axis Management Systems - could you ask the person that contacted you to email me (Payo2000@gmail.com) ? Thanks! --PaulY 15:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll do that. -- JSharp (talk) 18:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. -- JSharp (talk) 04:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Problem Advert
I already requested that you block the inappropriate ad with Jessica Simpson in her wet T-shirts but since it's still around, here's the URL. http://hosted.zango.com/affiliates/lp/JessicaSimpson.htm?ref=30289 -Arias Knight
 * Sorry about the trouble, it's just that we'll need a bit more information about the ad to block it successfully. Here are the instructions to get the information we'll need:

How can I report a bad advertisement --- Firefox instructions
 * 1) Right click on the ad
 * 2) If the Element Properties box appears then copy the url shown for Image Properties - Location:   It's probably a very long url so be sure to copy the whole line.
 * 3) If a flash player menu appears (which is likely for animated ads)
 * 4) *Ignore the flash menu
 * 5) *On the Firefox toolbar, click Tools=>Page Info
 * 6) *Select the Media tab from the Page Info popup
 * 7) *Look through the list of address for a very long URL, its probably the longest URL in the list
 * 8) *Copy that url
 * 9) Note the URL of the wiki where the ad was spotted and the size of the ad.
 * 10) If convenient, send a snapshot of the ad as well.
 * 11) Collect the above data into an e-mail and send it to community@wikia.com and your removal request will be evaluated. Please note that bad ad requests are evaluated on a case by case basis.

This is an example of a typical ad url: http://content.mmanager.nmcxnnet.net/atmos/f9/43/f9439va8afb77a799ga9sg83.swf?clickTag=http%3A%2F%2Fads%2Drm%2Errroorrr%2Ecom%2Fasdf%asdfiaosdASDFASDF . If you don't have firefox please let me know which browser you do have and I'll get some instructions made up for it. -- JSharp (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Infobox Template Problem
Hey hey, J. We are trying to finish a template for an infobox on the  RPGStarter and we've hit a problem. The code for the box is here. We are attempting to make a blank space, or no space at all occur when a user does not fill in the field "picture" with an image name by using XHTML. We have the blank space working with the current code, but when a picture is entered this is the result. See the little "|" sign on the left side of the image? We threw some wikipipe in there to do what we wanted, but the result obviously isn't working. Could you try your hand at it? --TarrVetus 18:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I think I've fixed it for you. Just let me know if you need any other assistance :) -- JSharp (talk) 17:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, J! The ancient browser I'm using right now doesn't have XHTML support, so I'll double check things when I get to another computer.  I'll leave you a message if we need anything else; if not, we should be ready to unleash that template on the world!  --TarrVetus 18:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

All Messages
Hi. When I translate some of the messages in here on fa.wikia it only changes on that wikia. Where I can translate the messages that will show up every where?
 * And please look at this.--BlueDevil Talk 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, you can add your messages into w:c:internationalization and they'll be reviewed and copied over globally though that wiki may be being deprecated. -- JSharp (talk) 04:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

can you do that sysop can give rollback to any user they want in the Hebrew Eincyclopedia?
is it possible? 14:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortuantly no, at this time special:giverollback is limited to founders only. -- JSharp (talk) 04:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Template
Hello,

I was told that you're Wikia's resident Template expert, so I'm asking for help. I'm the (less expert) Templater on Elderscrolls Wikia, but I'm having trouble with this one. It's an attempt to merge some other templates into one for more easy use. Could you take a look at it? The code should work, but when tried it, well, doesn't. Thanks in advance. - Game LordTalk 14:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Bug in the logo script in the hebrew eincyclopedia
in firefox it's work fine, but in explorer it's disappear and after few seconds appear again and it's says that there are bug in the page, can you fix it? 15:19, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * hmm, I took a look at it but IE is a little hard to debug. It should be identical to the english uncyclopedia. Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? -- JSharp (talk) 01:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

About translations
See Jack Phoenix message on Forum:Translations.

To reproduce this:


 * 1) Go to Special:Allmessages of a non-english wiki, and select one system message that:
 * 2) * Is already translated in the language of that wiki but is not modified in that wiki (the message has a red link). That means that the message is picked from the .php script of that language on the server.
 * 3) * and a translation for that message doesn't exist in w:c:messaging.
 * For example, to see if the message MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber is translated in German, go to w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber/de and check that it doesn't exist.
 * 1) Then create the message in english on messaging. For example: w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber. Note: without /en because the base language for messaging is english).

A live example, in Spanish:


 * 1) On w:c:es.pokemon, w:c:es.pokemon:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup is translated to Spanish, but the system message isn't created yet.
 * 2) On w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup/es doesn't exists
 * 3) Create w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup, with the text in english.
 * 4) Now w:c:es.pokemon:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup shows the english message instead of the spanish one. That affects all languages (except english), so the default of that message in all languages of all wikis is now in english.

I picked that message because Special:Userrights isn't visible to users or sysops, and changes on that message aren't harmful.

PD: the deletion of these comments was intended? --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving me that list. The deletion of those comments wasn't intentional, and I've put them back. I'll see if I can reproduce that issue with your instructions and then I'll file a bug ticket. -- JSharp (talk) 19:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
