Color templates trouble
Hi, i'm not sure what happened to the wikicode parser but it's not working the same anymore. So, we have troubles with some templates now. We, at the french Guild Wars Wikia, are using a bunch of templates in wich we put "#AD0", "#0FD" and the like, so we can easilly have the sames colors everywhere needed. But now, it some time break layout or make the color code appear. Can you think of some advice ? Thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 09:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, can you give me some examples? --Splarka (talk) 10:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Not anymore... It seems it was temporairy. What are they doing exactly ? I saw a lot of tiny change in the the software aside from the new search engine. The version page say we are on 1.10alpha. That's a little weird because nobody warned us about this. But maybe it will be great.
 * So, thanks anyway and see you later. ;-) — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 18:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh! It's one of my administrator who corrected thoses templates. He replaced the # caracter by the equivalent HTML entity (see ). I had thinked about that but did not tried it. But i was not sure why the way it was suddently begin to cause problem. See ya. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 01:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Here something where you might be able to help : . We dont understand was is breaking layout of that page. Thanks. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 03:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol! This new version of mediawiki is so weird. I've edited the page; problem was gone. I revert it so you can see it. It's still gone. What the...
 * Can you help shed light on that sort of behavior ? Is it just because we have 7 thousan page in queue ? — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 03:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikia was upgrading a few hundred more wikis from 1.9.3 to 1.10. That caused widespread temporary oddness. --Splarka (talk) 06:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Newlink
Do you know why all the "contribs" links here appear as "new" and shown in red ? G .He (Talk!) 05:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No idea. Do you see it on any other wikia wikis? --Splarka (talk) 06:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, the problem (the additional  insertion) only occurs for that user's log entries.  G .He (Talk!) 15:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I don't think this problem existed before. Perhaps it's related to the upgrade... Not sure if it can be fixed in the same manner as the category listing problem that occurred on Inheriwiki a while back. G .He (Talk!) 20:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Found more: . Basically, the users are: Kumarhk, Bookreader, Daine, Darth Picard, Encydram-Crimewiki-Doubleplusungood, Kikiro, MediaWiki default, Faolin, and any other I missed with the redlinks. G .He (Talk!) 20:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, entered a bug. --Splarka (talk) 05:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Love is like a magic tie
Now I've got ten of him! Since there are ten "options," I'm guessing that's all there will be. Then again, Lou's never been one to worry about repeating himself. Who knows??? His love - and his xenophobia - just keep on giving. ahhhh... "Frenchie! Get in here!!!" --thisniss 12:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And by "10," I meant "11". Really I did.  Eleven options, eleven posts.  It just makes sense, you know, because Dobbs really makes you want to get that little bit of extra love on. --thisniss 14:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

namespace request for french uncyclopedia
hi splarka

i'm a sysop for the french uncyclopedia (desencyclopedie.wikia.com), and we are planning to have our "UnNews". could we have a "Désinformation" namespace please ? thank you for your help. --Thaumasnot 19:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * K, I've submitted a ticket for this. --Splarka (talk) 06:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. There is another problem though : http://desencyclopedie.com redirects to http://www.wikia.com which used to redirect http://desencyclopedie.wikia.com, but this doesn't work anymore since a week. Could you see to it, please ? Thanks ! --Thaumasnot 08:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry to bother you about this one, but I wanted to mention that our talk pages are called "Discussion" in french ;) This translation doesn't seem to have been enforced for the forum namespace. Could you also see to it ? --Thaumasnot 10:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Both of these already exist as pending bug reports. If they aren't solved within a few days, lemme know. --Splarka (talk) 05:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

- Priss


 * Hmm, I am not sure why that doesn't work for you but does for them. Keep experimenting? --Splarka (talk) 07:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

24um
Thank you so much for fixing the Wiki 24 forum problem. It's greatly appreciated. Can you tell me where I change the colors of the heading and the Last Edit on the index? White on white doesn't work very well, and neither does black on dark grey. Thanks again. --Proudhug 18:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Done? --Splarka (talk) 07:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I switched it to black, but yeah that's much better. Where do I change the color of the black Last Edit date text on the forum index page? --Proudhug 08:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * there.

--Splarka (talk) 08:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks again. Hey, is there a central location where all of this monobook.css stuff can be found? --Proudhug 23:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, not really, as that is part of the user-definable content (which can be different on thousands of wikis). I just set it dark for you in Monobook.css (as opposed to Common.css which should be used for content rather than user interface) because it would look funny to have it dark in other skins (like smoke).
 * Some links to help:


 * complete css reference
 * main monobook stylesheet
 * Also, to see what can be changed, view a page source, and check what class or id the element has. --Splarka (talk) 05:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Here's a red rose for you
It isn't exactly $100 million US dollars, but close enough, or what? ;) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Javascript
Catherine said you knew a good lot about Javascript, so I was wondering if you knew how to add a tab(at the same place where "article" "discussion" "edit" etc. are) that on being clicked, adds a template(mainly the delete temp) to the top of the page. I've already done a fair amount of stuff w/ js, and I've gotten something similar to this to work, but I can't make it work quite right. Thanks, Pinky49


 * See User:Splarka/tricks (just created this section). --Splarka (talk) 02:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * FYI: Won't work on 1.9.3 wikia yet (like Wookieepedia currently) unless you copy the addPortletLink from the 1.10+ wikibits.js ... works on swfanon though. --Splarka (talk) 02:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I tested it on swfanon. Is there any way to make it show up on the actual page, instead of the edit page? Thanks, Pinky.

Re: User: ZombieTsuki
This is from Bureaucrat RePmGu of TPSB Wiki. Indeed, ZombieTsuki was the only one that required revocation of adminship. Thank you very much for the support; hopefully this is the proper way to show appreciation. RePmGu 03:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Are yous till online Splarka? I saw that forum in recentchanges and took a look out of curiosity.  RepmGu has resysopped the bad admin... not sure if he's a vandal or had his account hijacked.   Scott  ch  06:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * WTF. --Splarka (talk) 06:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not a vandal, nor have I been hijacked. Admittedly, I did something stupid. I was already acquainted with the user ZombieTsuki, and he and I had a discussion about his unbanning. The discussion quickly turned morbid, and by the end of the conversation I was convinced that the person in question had turned suicidal, so I gave back to him admin status. Of course, right afterward, he revealed that it was a hoax. I'm somewhat naive by nature, but this was just a very large blunder on my part. My apologies. RePmGu 07:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

This is actually a retraction to my previous paragraph (it'll be in the History). After deliberating with the other administrators, we feel we can maintain our Wiki within reasonable control, and that a stunt like today's won't happen again, as long as all admins are consulted about important decisions (like new administrators, for example). As far as activity goes, we've agreed that there will be some point where article creation will hit a ceiling, but new information is constantly filtering in, enough to warrant attention. I would also like to request that RePmGu be made a Bureaucrat again. He is the originator of the Wiki, after all. --KalasHawk 08:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll re-create him as a bureaucrat in a few days if there are no objections (other than from ZombieTsuki). --Splarka (talk) 09:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Reason for Deletion

 * Splarka, not to bother you since you've already helped me a great deal, but could you add a tab that allows me to give a reason for deletion? I have an idea of have to do it, but I don't think I can get the coding quite right. Thanks again, Pinky49
 * How do you mean? You mean a tab on the article page that one-click deletes with a pre-defined reason? Give this a try:

// ================================================================================ // START Automated deletion button script system - by Splarka // ================================================================================ // Adds customizable one-click deletion buttons to any deletable page. addOnloadHook(checkdelete); function checkdelete { if(queryString("submitdelete")=="true") document.getElementById('deleteconfirm').wpConfirmB.click }

if(wgNamespaceNumber != -1) addOnloadHook(addDeleteButtons) function addDeleteButtons { if(!document.getElementById('ca-delete')) return var url=document.getElementById('ca-delete').firstChild.href //examples: addPortletLink('p-cactions', url + '&submitdelete=true&wpReason=' + encodeURIComponent('This is spam') ,'delete spam','ca-delete1'); addPortletLink('p-cactions', url + '&submitdelete=true&wpReason=' + encodeURIComponent('This is an unused redirect'),'delete redirect','ca-delete2'); }

function queryString(p) { var re = RegExp('[&?]' + p + '=([^&]*)'); var matches; if (matches = re.exec(document.location)) { try { return decodeURI(matches[1]); } catch (e) { } }  return null; }

// ================================================================================ // END Automated deletion button script system // ================================================================================


 * No, I was thinking something that once clicked, adds a popup. Then you enter in a reason, and it adds that reason. There's similar message coding on my monobook at swf.


 * Maybe you can describe the exact sequence of events: Are you on the main view, deletion page, edit page, or other/any when you click? It opens a popup, you enter a reason, and it is deleted then? or what? --Splarka (talk) 05:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, main view, you click on the top, enter a reason, then it adds to the top of the page and submits. Hopefully that clears it up a little. -Pinky


 * You probably would find a custom edit button helpful, to insert . See below for example. --Splarka (talk) 10:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

if (mwCustomEditButtons) { mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/b/b5/Button_Jadernyhrib-cloud.png", "speedTip": "Tag with ", "tagOpen": "", "sampleText": "reason"}; }

// ================================================================================ // STARTED Automated tagging script system - by Splarka // ================================================================================ // Note: Advanced and a bit spooky.
 * Its not showing up for me for some reason. Its supposed to show up at the top of the page w/ a bunch of other images, right? I've tried to do it myself, but not with much luck. Below is a code based on yours(doesn't work right now).

function getMessage (where) { var message = prompt ('Reason for deletion', ''); window.location = 'http://swfanon.wikia.com/w/index.php?title=' + _GET['title'] + '&action=edit }

if(wgNamespaceNumber != -1) addOnloadHook(addTaggingButtons) function addTaggingButtons { //in 1.11 you can use (wgAction == 'edit') if(document.title.indexOf('Editing ') == 0) { var iTop = 'javascript:insertTop'; var iBottom = 'javascript:insertBottom'; } else { var iTop = 'javascript:insertGoTop'; var iBottom = 'javascript:insertGoBottom'; }

// addPortletLink( portlet, JS link , button text, element id ); // Add new buttons here addPortletLink('p-cactions',iTop + '("");',' top','ca-templatedelete'); addPortletLink('p-cactions',iBottom + '("That is my story and I am sticking to it ~");','that is my story','ca-story'); }

function insertTop(stuff) { if(!document.getElementById('wpTextbox1')) return var text = document.getElementById('wpTextbox1'); if(text.value.replace(/ /g,)==) { text.value += stuff; } else { text.value = stuff + '\n' + text.value; } document.getElementById('wpSummary').value += '  tagging  ' + stuff; document.getElementById('wpSave').click; }

function insertBottom(stuff) { if(!document.getElementById('wpTextbox1')) return var text = document.getElementById('wpTextbox1'); if(text.value.replace(/ /g,)==) { text.value += stuff; } else { text.value += '\n' + stuff ; } document.getElementById('wpSummary').value += '  tagging with: ' + stuff; document.getElementById('wpSave').click; }

function insertGoTop(stuff) { var url = document.getElementById('ca-edit').firstChild.href; document.location.href = url + '&insert=true&inserttop=' + encodeURIComponent(stuff); }

function insertGoBottom(stuff) { var url = document.getElementById('ca-edit').firstChild.href; document.location.href = url + '&insert=true&insertbottom=' + encodeURIComponent(stuff); }

function processInsert { if(queryString('insertbottom')) { insertBottom(queryString('insertbottom')); } if(queryString('inserttop')) { insertTop(queryString('inserttop')); } } if(queryString('insert')=='true') addOnloadHook(processInsert)

function queryString(p) { var re = RegExp('[&?]' + p + '=([^&]*)'); var matches; if (matches = re.exec(document.location)) { try { return decodeURI(matches[1]); } catch (e) { } }  return null; }
