Another question
Charitwo is not responding back to my kickban, what should i do? I want to chat again, real bad! TheBen10Mazter (T-B-C) 15:35, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Charitwo is not responding back because you've already been told why you were banned and what you should do.


 * Does that mean i will never get to chat again? TheBen10Mazter (T-B-C) 15:49, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily forever, but definitely not at this time.

Missing buttons
Hey Monchoman, I'm having a problem, and this seems to be effecting few of the wikis, the "Edit Profile" button has vanished, and I can't edit my profile or talk page, what is going on this time? Is it another glich or something? Weasel If you wouldn't call that an emergency, what would you call it? Alice?, 04:50, July 20, 2011, (UTC)


 * It's a glitch from the recent update. Staff are aware and working on it.

Hey dude
You should tell the reason of the kickban to that user who got kickbaned not me. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 01:25, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * He was replying to the most recent message of the conversation (this is one of the most confusing things when people talk on more than one talk page, follow my advice: don't do it) --  Random Time  01:29, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know but i hate when people do that. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 01:35, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was unaware that the conversation was on multiple talk pages. I replied to the one I saw, per Randomtime, because having a conversation on multiple talk pages is confusing. It's always easier to keep it on one page.
 * Well the person who you need to talk to is Newbie49. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 01:41, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

archive button
hi moncho, personally I like your old userboxes better but its up to you. Anyways how ddid the archive button for chat work and whats wrong with it. Thanks,


 * My chat bot is currently in testing on Bleach wiki, and since I don't have access to chat right now I'd like to keep it to just Bleach as it's easier to monitor that way.

Administration Team Template on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi Monchoman. We're having problems on the Hogwarts RPG with this. We want to add a list for the Sortings Deartment right under the Creative Department but don't know how. Could you please help us? Thanks!


 * Is that what you wanted?


 * Exactly what I wanted, thank you so much!

A little help
Hey, if it's not too much of a bother to you. Can you tell me if it's possible to edit this page, to make it where the template appears when you are editing a page and when you first create a page. If you could help me out with this i'd be most appreciative, thanks for your time.


 * I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want a template to be loaded up every time you create a page?

The current code adds a header to the top of the page every time you edit a page like here, I want it to appear when people create pages as well.


 * You can do that with MediaWiki:Newarticletext.

O, I wasn't aware of that, Thanks!

Portal Skin
Just wondering but is it ok with you if I copy the js of portal and tweak it so it suits my needs? Thanks,


 * Go for it, but I doubt you'll get much out of it.
 * I just really wanted to add some more links in the side bar. Btw is it possible to protect a page from being moved but not from being edited because it seems like the two are interconnected- when you change one both change. Also is there a way to remove double categories using AWB. --
 * Good point, there should be a function for adding more links to the sidebar. You can protect a page from being moved but not from being edited by clicking the checkbox in between the two fields. Then, you should be able to change one without changing the other. As for removing double categories with AWB, I don't know if it can do that. You should check the help pages for AWB on Wikipedia and see if they mention that anywhere.
 * Thanks for the help. I added a special pages link as of now and deleting some links I dont use. --
 * I think the tool menu is messed up. Also do you think you can make it compatible with the new editor--
 * Which tool menu, and no.


 * Thanks, I already customized it to suit my needs. Also in special:preferences he tabs are glitcyish. Just wanted to let you know. Btw I really like the skin.

Chat
Do you still have problems with connecting to chat ???


 * Yes, I still can't connect to chat.
 * Can you try with http://NAMEOFWIKI.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat?nosockets=1 TomekO 20:08, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
Hey, Moncho, could you program a offline and online thing for me on my Ben 10 wiki user page? TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 19:10, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you mean a Skype link? If so, you should be able to get code for that from Skype or there may be a special tag for it.


 * No, go to SpikeToronto's user page on the admin tools wiki and there should be a be a circle and a word saying around, offline, vegetating, busy, or online. That one. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 19:39, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

And please program it next to the picture of Luigi dancing. Thanks! --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 19:56, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * So did you finish it? Look at the message above. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 20:10, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, there are a lot of templates involved, as well as a script and images. You should ask SpikeToronto, as he set it up for admin tools.


 * But he said it was too much work and i can copy over the files if i wanted to. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 20:32, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * you can I did it easliy but change the template a bitTama 63  20:35, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can copy the files over if you want to, but it'll be a lot of work. You need the script, the images, and the template, as well as any other templates included in that one.


 * Well, could you please help me? I really dont know how to copy the files. It would really mean a lot to me :) TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 20:59, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Um all you have to do it find all the image names the will be something like File:Ledgreen.png save them then user special:upload on the ben 10 wiki then look at the list of used templates on the statustop template on admin tools and copy those templates over!--Tama 63  21:04, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Kickban
So as you see this, you might notice that you are unable to access chat. You were join/part flooding badly and so charitwo banned you. You can remove the ban yourself once you stabilize he said.--

Hey
Can i chat with you on the Ben 10 wikiabout something? Thanks! TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 13:32, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, but my connection has been acting up recently so I may disconnect randomly.


 * So are you coming? TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 13:37, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, the chat is on the Ben 10 wiki (link above), i dont see you there. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 13:41, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Are you on chat? TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 13:53, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can we chat on the Ben 10 wiki for real? Thanks!  TheBen10Mazter  (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  15:18, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm already there. I had to leave for two hours previously. Please also don't leave me 4 talk page messages in a row, 1 is fine as it'll notify me and I'll see it when I'm available.

why not talking to me
you are not talking to me why

Joined/Rejoin Chat
Are you aware your flooding chat with your constant join/rejoin, what's your intention? Citadel Universal  11:36, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're really annoying. Did you break your hacks? Or is it just acting up for some reason? 12:14, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Seriously it's annoying, please find a way to stop it. Your flooding our chat conversations!
 * -- 12:44, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

I'm leaving this message so that nobody leaves another message about this. It's chat's connection on him that's doing this. It's happened to BobNewbie, it's happened to Godisme. All that it takes is a simple strike of F5 to fix it, but currently, Monch is either at work or asleep so he can't do that. So we just have to simply deal with it since there's nothing he can do about it, nor can we. So we just need to stop fussing over it. -- Jä zz  i  13:16, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Per Jazzi, it's assumed to be a server side problem. Anyone can get it, and it's fixable (temporarily) by refreshing. You can't see that you're join/part flooding because chat doesn't show you your disconnects and reconnects. Usually I'm not stupid and I don't leave it open overnight, obviously last night I was stupid.

Bot Trouble
Hello, Moncho. Sorry to bother you, but I am having trouble with a bot. A user, TheBen10Mazter, recommended AutoWikiBrowser to me. I downloaded it from SourceForge, the site he recommended. The only problem is that when I try to open it, it gives me an error message saying that "The application failed to load" or something like that. Mazter recommended asking you for additional help, since it seems that it's not downloading properly. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks in advance!

Roads is a Wikia user! Duh! -_- 16:53, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * No offense but Mazter has no bot experince using AutoWiki Browser I have been using it for 3 months please refer to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser for any extra help--Tama 63  16:56, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is a mirror, try downloading it from here and see if it works. If not, sourceforge also has a mirror that may work.
 * @Tama63- do NOT always say bad things about me, i just got a bot okay, why dont you just back off. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:04, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * Wow, that is mean, one day im going to prove to you that im a good user. If you keep on saying these bad things about me, i might report you, this is really mean, "i doubt he will even use his bot (correctly)." The correctly part is the meanest. Why dont you go pick on someone else, you mean bully. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 18:27, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * Both of you, stop. This isn't the place to hold this discussion. If you don't like each other, try to avoid each other. Otherwise no good will come from talking to each other. Ever. So just stop insulting each other, and just try to avoid each other. For the sanity of others, please. –  Jä zz  i  18:44, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Walrus Wiki Edit Count
Just to let you know that the Top 5 module in the sidebar of your user page on the newer profiles is messed up. Apparently, you have 9343 edits on Walrus Wiki.


 * I also have 3 edits on community according to chat, so I'm not surprised.


 * Excellent. 15:50, August 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Moncho, Brandon needs to take a look at it, so can you unhide it from your Top 5?


 * Done. It's unhidden, but no longer shows an editcount of over 9000.

thanks
thank you for answering, I wont post the same question on diffrent pages.

Help
Thanks for your help. It's quite a jump from a normal user to a founder, so at the risk of seeming unintelligent, could you help me by simplifying that? CPO [~talk~] 18:38, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * All you have to do is add the text  to the page titled MediaWiki:Wikia.css on your wiki. You can search MediaWiki:Wikia.css and it should take you directly to it. Once you've added the text, it should have instructions for clearing your cache, follow those and the read more headings should disappear. If they don't, Wikia's server likely hasn't recognized the page yet, and it may take up to a day before the headings disappear.


 * Wikia requests that the Related Pages Module be Special:Contacted to be removed per wiki instead of using CSS. They'd like to know how many wikis opt to remove the feature. This helps them to know certain feature uses and percentages of wikis using them. Rappy 18:49, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * As Special:Contact takes time, it's best to hide with CSS as a temporary fix and also send a Special:Contact, per forum response.


 * Thank you. I have done all that now. Thanks again for you time, and quick response. Have a nice evening. CPO [~talk~] 19:09, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Custom Favicon
Moncho, how come this doesn't work in Chrome?


 * tags use.


 * I don;t follow. Where is this src meant to be? Because I don't see any src in Firebug.


 * Whoops, you're right, they use . It's possible that Chrome doesn't want to change the favicon after it's already been added to the tab bar, or that Chrome sees the replace as adding a second favicon, which it ignores. Try changing the href with   and see if that works.


 * Err... I don't think I did it right, cause now it isn;t working in FF either. Could you take a look?


 * The code is correct, apparently changing the href doesn't update the favicon. It may not be possible in Chrome, I can't think of any other way that might work.

CSS
Hey, could you pass me the CSS for changing the color of my comments which includes blog and article comments? 03:46, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> .comments li[data-user="Natsu11"] > blockquote { background:#color !important; } .comments li[data-user="Natsu11"] > blockquote:after { border-color:transparent #color #color transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Natsu11"] > blockquote div { background:transparent !important; }

Also, is it possible to add the button for recent changes instead of changing the wiki activity into this. 03:57, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure why you'd want to do that, as WA is the bad RC, but this is the code you'd use:

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function RecentChangesButton { $('a.wikia-button[data-id$="wikiactivity"]').after('<a data-id="recentchanges" class="wikia-button secondary" accesskey="g" title="Special:RecentChanges" href="/wiki/Special:RecentChanges"><img height="0" width="0" class="sprite activity" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/common/skins/common/blank.gif">Recent Changes</a>'); } addOnloadHook(RecentChangesButton);

Hi there, first off well done on being a featured wikian! Secondly, for .js coding, is there a way to edit Special:AdminDashboard? Like how I did here.Technobliterator 13:08, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Kickban
I'd like to be unkickbanned please. -- Julietfan2626


 * No 11:06, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't vandalise, spam, advertise, swear, break rules... All I was doing was just trying to lighten up the mood with some jokes - and you said I can appeal against my kickban and it will eventually be taken off, so I'm a appealing against your ridiculous reason for kickbanning me. -- Julietfan2626
 * Your request might actually be able to be taken seriously if it were not for your little stunt yesterday, the answer is No. 11:13, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't create an account just to go on there, I went on my brothers account. And if having multiple accounts is wrong, then I guess you should ban Randomtime, cos he openly admitted to having one. -- Julietfan2626


 * He may have been refering to his bot(which are allowed) or a test account(again are allowed) --<font color=Maroon>Tama <font color=Maroon>63  11:33, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, please do not step into situations on which you are not informed of the situation, thanks. -- 11:35, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Well mine isn't even an account created by me! Wow, you're just pathetic. -- Julietfan2626


 * Using another account to use chat after your other one has been banned is evading the ban. Randomtime's account is not evading a ban, as Randomtime is not banned. Ban evasion is grounds for an instant and permanent kickban. It doesn't matter who created the account. Furthermore, my comment about appealing bans was that if you appeal your ban at a later date it may be taken off. There is no guarantee, and in cases of ban evasion your chances are slim to none.

But I'm appealing the original ban! I did nothing wrong! -- Julietfan2626


 * It doesn't matter. You did not accept the original ban, as such it will stay in place.

That's excuse is exactly like the failed parenting excuse, when parents go looking for petty arguments with their children and say they're grounded, but then the children will argue that they did nothing, because they didn't, and then parents will then say that they're grounded for talking back, not whatever it was in the first place. And it's the same for you, if you didn't ban me for the pathetic reason, I wouldn't have rebelled and thus we wouldn't be in this predicament! 18:16, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I tried to rewrite the code removing the vector buttons and make the monobook in the same line of "wiki activity" in Oasis. In oasis works, but in monobook I don't see the "oasis" tab to change skin... do you know why?


 * Works for me. Did you clear your cache?

I cleared it and also tried to restart the browser... Well as long the code works it's fine... thank you.

Wham
Wham since isn't working. I entered a time and date like you said and it did not do anything. Fix pl0x. Also, stop going to be so early so I can actually talk to you when I have these issues!--


 * Fixed. It will also now accept the timestamp format on Special:Contributions, so you can copy the timestamp of the last edit you want to wham, and paste it in the box. It'll also take a time and assume today (eg. 12:30 will become 12:30, August 20, 2011), just a date will assume midnight this year (August 20 -> 00:00, August 20, 2011), and a date and a year will assume midnight (August 20, 2011 -> 00:00, August 20, 2011). Tested on my bot, it definitely works.

Question
Hi, i was wondering if its not to much bother, if you could give me a bit of help. Basicly i tried to import some templates which worked fine but it messed up most of the other templates on the wiki. An example can be found here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gracey91  ✉  16:33, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * You deleted Template:!, which is required in most infobox templates. You'll have to undelete it for those templates to work.


 * The page was added when i did the statustop template import. Even if i undelete the page it just turns the red links into normal links, the template still remains messed up. The other thing is the code for these templates (messed up ones) is identical to other templates that still work fine. only difference between them is the size. Gracey91   ✉  17:15, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * That may be a caching error, and you should try purging the pages after undeleting the template. Template:! is considered a basic necessity, without it many templates aren't possible.


 * I feel like a complete retard now, i tried that but i forgot to purge the page. Thanks heaps for your help. Gracey91   ✉  17:28, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

???
I didnt spout gibberish!Reviewportal77 17:09, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, you did. In all caps, in fact. It is possible that someone else used your account, in which case I would suggest changing your password. However, unless a checkuser reveals that you may not have been in control of your account, the ban will stay.


 * Someone Hacked Into My Wikia Account?Reviewportal77 17:25, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is possible that someone else used your account.


 * So what youre saying is that i got hacked.Reviewportal77 17:35, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, I am saying it is possible that someone else used your account. Those are two different things. Assuming you are telling the truth and you did not spam gibberish, that is the only logical conclusion.

Code to Make New User Page Design Look Like it Does for Other Users
Hi Monchoman. I have no intention in filling in the new User Profile design and don't want it looking like:



I want it to look like:



Do you think you could create a code that I could put in User:Head.Boy.Hog/global.css that would let me see it that way? Thanks!


 * You see it only because it's a visual cue to fill it in. It doesn't show like that to others. However, if you insist on removing those elements, you can add this code to CSS.

<pre style="margin-left:24px"> .page-User_Head_Boy_Hog .masthead-info ul.details li, .page-User_Head_Boy_Hog .masthead-info li.zero { display: none; }

User Templates
Hi!!! Is is possible to have our own individual user templates & if possible, how do we link them from the Community Wikia to the user pages on individual wiki's?--SGCommand 18:12, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have one here. You can create a template for yourself (preferably here), and put whatever you want on it. You can then transclude it to other wikis with . Bear in mind, however, that parameters and   tags will be ignored, and that the template will use its own line.


 * Well, can you delete this earlier attempt at a user template please???--SGCommand 20:32, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Vector skin
Hello there, Moncho. It was commented here that you have some sort of a Vector skin. We're trying to (possibly) implement Vector on Admin Tools Wiki, so can you give me any information about your Vector skin? Thanks. Cheers, — mc10 ( t / c ) 03:15, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, the CSS is at MediaWiki:Monobook.css on my sandbox wiki. I've had reports that it's a bit off in Firefox, so I'll be going through it again sometime soon and hopefully fixing that.


 * Moncho, since the CSS is in a file named Monobook.css, does that mean that if one elects to use it, one loses Monobook? Could one instead install it in personal CSS instead?

 * Yes, I just put it in the Monobook.css on my wiki. The file it's imported to is the one that determines its scope, so it won't matter.

Chat
Any particular reason for the kick? Was it something to do with connection problems by any chance, as it seems a little strange that I look away for a while and return only to be kicked without explanation. --Cartman!Talk!


 * You were kicked by Charitwo, from my scrollback I'd say it was for join/part flooding, yes. Happens all the time, nothing to worry about - usually refreshing will fix it. I've unbanned you, so you can chat again.

WhamAPI
Hey Moncho! When using your modified Wham.js, should the date in the "since" field be in an ISO format (e.g. 2005-01-01)? 09:00, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Scratch that. I just noticed the older message. Sorry. 09:01, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Spam
You banned my sister from chat for spamming. Exactly what did she do?

ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 17:51, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Roads, its CLEAR that your sister is a spammer, she spams BTFF chat, blogs, and article comments with random letters or characters at BTFF, she should be blocked there. Moncho did it for a clear reason, im sorry to say. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:52, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * In most cases (such as this one), actions on one wiki do not affect another wiki. As the rights log suggests, User:Snow-Woman was banned for spamming and quickly leaving chat to avoid being kicked.


 * I can affirm Moncho on this one. I was only in chat for a few minutes but Snow woman spammed d and then enter many times. If we ever kick someone from chat it is for good reason, you do nit need to inquire about it.--

Sig
Hello,

I've always had a bit of trouble with signatures, as I can't get an idea that I like and other people like. I saw yours, and thought "Bingo!" So, with the permission given, I used the coding for my own, and tried to add another link. Well, shown here, I didn't do so hot. The one bar is loading all curved, and I'd like to add a link to the RuneScape Wiki in there too, but I can't figure out where the coding for the little links begins and ends. Since you created the sig, I figured you'd be the person to come to with the problem. Do you think you could possibly fix it up for me? I would be very grateful!

Message Notifications for a Different Talk Page

 * You could just have your bot's talk redirect to your main one. 16:27, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * But it was already used on a lot of wikis and I actually have to redirect it on all the wikis I edited on using that account. Is there another way?


 * Unfortunately, this isn't feasible. Redirecting the bot's talk is the best you'll be able to get.

Signature colors
When you are an admin, how do you make your signature bold and a certain color, also like the staff members (and on the 39 Clues Wiki) The blog comments are a different color and says @Wikia or @Admin? Because I would like to know how to do it. Thanks.


 * You can bold your signature manually. If you use a template sig, you can bold it on just the wikis you're an admin on. Blog comments are different, you need CSS for that. There's an entry on changing the color for blog comments on my code blog that will show you how to do it.

Signatures
Hi Monchoman45, I'm Pinklilac! I want to ask you a question (you need to write that book of yours!). Could you please, please tell me how to get a customized signature? I have tried but it always fails. How can I get various text, with colors and font and even boxes or pictures around them? I really need your help. Thanks!

Pinklilac 03:50, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Signatures are all done through HTML you need to use   tags for color and text and you use a picture as you would normally on a wiki.--

JS Needed
Hey Moncho, do you mind doing a spot of js for me?

I need to separate wgTitle into separate words. Can you build some js that will insert spaces after the capital letters in the string? Preferably into a variable.

Cheers,

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> for(var i = 0; i < wgTitle.length; i++) { if(/(A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z)/.test(wgTitle.charAt(i))) { wgTitle = wgTitle.substring(0, i - 1) + ' ' + wgTitle.substring(i - 1, wgTitle.length); } }
 * That'll do it. It won't count a number as a capital letter, that can be changed by deleting everything the  and the stuff after it.
 * Can you check my application of the code. I doesn't seem to be working and I think I put it in the wrong place. JS Page
 * That implementation causes an infinite loop, apparently, so we'll have to try it a different way. I updated the code above, try that instead and see if it works.

Wham Api
Your wham for some reason doesn't work. I tried rollbacking my boys contribs from a certain date but it didn't do anything. This is weird because just a Couple of weeks ago it was working like a charm. Can you please figure out what's wrong? Also out of curiosity why doesmt tae new editor work in portal? Thanks, --

Check this code
Hi, I don't want to open a forum for ask only this, so I'll ask you directly: if ( !(wgPageName == wgMainPageTitle) ) { OTHER JAVA SCRIPT CODES } If I wrap a JS in this code, it will be loaded in every page but the main page, won't it? Check if it's correct the "if". Also can I copy this code <a href="http://www.histats.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://sstatic1.histats.com/0.gif?1597101&101" alt="statistiche web" border="0"></a> Directly in a js page or there can be some conflicts?

Adding Purge Button
Hi Monchoman. I want to add a button under that purges the page I'm on when I click it. What code do I add in my JS to do that? Thanks!

Not Beeing Seen in Chat
Hi Monchoman. I logged into chat and Randomtime said he couldn't see me in his user list. SpikeToronto said the same when I logged into chat on ATW. Could your chat hacks be causing the problem? Thanks!


 * Not being able to see people in chat is a server side problem, or a client side problem of the user who can't see you. The hacks likely don't have any influence. In the past, users with non-alphanumeric characters in their names (such as your periods) have had problems appearing or not appearing in the userlist, and it was found to be a problem in Wikia's code.


 * So should it be reported?


 * Only if it persists, or if chat has been updated recently. Last I knew, it had been fixed, so it may be a side effect of a recent update or something similar.

Are you back?
Seeing as you've started answering questions, did your hard drive get fixed? --


 * No, it's still broken.

wikia-menu-button on monobook?
Hey, would it be easy to import the javascript (and any CSS that's also needed) from wikia-menu-button to monobook. A user has started using it in his sig, and it's completely broken in Monobook. --  Random Time  11:51, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not easy to import, unfortunately, as that's stored in oasis.scss - you could copy/paste the code from there, but it would make the color fixed. The JS is different, copy/pasting that shouldn't be a problem. You'd have to find it, however, since Wikia loads all of their JS via nocookie.net, and big brother doxed that.

I recently created w:c:39cluesroleplay and want to change the "Admin" label for w:c:39cluesroleplay:User:Swordcross to a "Co-founder" label. The thing is, I want it to show up on his masthead only.

 * Not possible, if you only make him the only admin that will ever exist on your wiki. -- TheBen10Mazter ( T - B -C 17:11, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Could I add a code to JS or CSS to change it?


 * Yes you can. Like here, w:c:admintools:Admin_Tools_Wiki:Noticeboard in the snap shots, just follow the code. -- TheBen10Mazter ( T - B -C) 17:16, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks Rappy!


 * I also want to add the co-founder label to w:c:testadmin:User:Eglinton but without changing the blocked one. How do I do that? Thanks!

That, of course, is if you want it to show after the 'blocked' one. If you want it before, change .append to .prepend. Rappy 19:54, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks!


 * It's showing up before the username using prepend. Is there a way to add it before the blocked label but after the username? Thanks!


 * For that, you can use.

It just changes the blocked label to co-founder.


 * My bad, I should have nowiki'd that -.

Or...

Both pretty much do the same thing just differently. Personally, I've had .after do odd things on some browsers. Rappy 00:44, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Custom rollbacks
I ported the code to wikipedia and found the problem was the Urlquery so I changed the code to

using wgaction != history instead. The problem with this is that when I go to a history page it has a 4 links saying undefined but nothing pops up in console. Where's the error? By the way you should add the ability to see whn you're talk page has been updated in your chat hacks. Thanks, -- 04:04, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * The point of using urlQuery instead of  is that   is broken, at least on Wikia. You'd be better of using the function than switching it with the global. Per chat hacks, that isn't easy, or necessary - if you want to check if someone has edited your talk page, click the logo in the upper left hand corner, and look for the bubble to appear on the toolbar.

RSS error

 * What that means is that there is no  tag. Instead, you can transclude Special:NewPages as if it were a template, with  . This method works for other special pages as well, such as PrefixIndex, WhatLinksHere, and RecentChanges.


 * Following up on this, something has apparently been changed. Are you still seeing this problem?
 * I noticed the  issue on Aion's Main Page yesterday. I think it may have something to do with the new navigation or something they changed. It's not recognizing the tag anymore. Rappy 20:16, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

I currently have the JS for adding the UTC clock above the "Random page" and "Wiki activity". However, with the new navigational system coming up, the clock is hidden by the "contributions" menu. Could you tell me the JS for shifting the clock above the "contributions" menu? Thanks in advance. :) 14:14, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * This will unfortunately require a rewrite of the script, which I am unable to do at this time.

JS Bot
Hi Monchoman. JS doesn't always work for me when I add the code in, even if I clear my cache so is it possible to have a bot add the code in for me? Thanks!


 * Do you mean a function that would add the code to your JS page for you? That is possible, however generalizing it would require some way for the script to know what you want to add, which would mean it wouldn't be any much more helpful than copy/paste.

Hi Monchoman! The new navigation is blocking out my purge button. I want it to stay as it is on Wikis that don't use the new nav but want it to be to the right of the Contribute button on Wikis that do use the nav. Is there a way to do that? Could you help me with it if it is possible? Thanks!


 * The script at Dev wiki will have to be modified. It's probably best to wait until more wikis use the new nav before changing it.
 * He's not using the Dev wiki code. He's added a purge button next to where Wiki Activity and Random Page used to be. You're better off to either use the code at Dev wiki (which adds it to the 'edit' drop down) or add a purge button to the Contribute drop-down. Rappy 23:53, October 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I could do that but I want it to stay the same on Wikis not using the new nav.


 * The way things are going, that new nav will be released site-wide within the month... possibly within the next week. I'd look now for a better alternative. Rappy 00:48, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

UTC Clock
I don't get why this would require a rerite of the code. Wouldn't you only have to change the location of the clock? By the way, why doesn't the new editor work in portal. Thanks, 05:27, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Removing Profile Masthead in Contributions
Hi Monchoman! Is there a way to remove the Profile Masthead in contributions (Special:Contributions)? Thanks!


 * will do that.


 * I added  to w:c:39cluesroleplay:MediaWiki:Common.js and it's not working. What did I do wrong? Thanks!


 * That's because it's CSS code - anything with just a selector is CSS, whereas JS will have the selector in a call to jQuery (such as ). It's also worth noting that it's likely a ToU violation to disable the masthead on contribution pages wiki-wide.


 * I moved it to CSS and it's still not working. What's wrong with it now?


 * It will need time to cache, if it's still not working now it may be an error in your file somewhere.

Nothing is wrong with the file, I added the code to w:c:39cluesroleplay:MediaWiki:Common.css instead of w:c:39cluesroleplay:MediaWiki:Wikia.css, I forgot the masthead is Wikia skin only...

Ant farm wiki
Hi. I need help. My Wiki, the A.N.T. Farm Wiki needs help with our main page. I am an admin, and the main page has a huge gap in between polls and events and the category bar is all small-like. Can you fix this? Also,where you edit would be Template:Main Page. Thanks.


 * Fixed. You had an unclosed comment tag that removed your last  tag. Also, why would you have all of the code for the main page on a template? You don't use the template anywhere else, and it'll just make the main page take longer to cache for anons.

Template Designing

 * You will have to link the wiki, and give a better description of what you want these templates to accomplish. Luckily, having no admins won't be a problem, as anyone can create templates.
 * It should be sort of a flow chart (the family tree), and when I know how to make it, I'll try to make the others alone. The link.

Your bot.
As I told you before your bot floods RC. Could that be because it doesn't edit through the API? Thanks, --


 * It does edit through the API, and does not flood RC. Its edits show up in RC, yes, but that's because you need a bot flag to hide edits in RC.

Wikia Skin Only
Hi Monchoman! Is there a way to have all users see 39 Clues Role Play Wiki in Wikia skin without having them change anything in their preferences? Thanks!


 * Is this a trick question? The default view is Wikia/Oasis. If a user changes their skin to Monobook, it's their preference. Forcing someone to view it in Oasis would not be appropriate for those that have changed their setup. Users that change to Monobook usually add skin change buttons in case the wiki is not set up to be viewed in Monobook. Rappy 00:30, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Chat problem
Hey, I got a problem with the chat. I often get "You have connected from another browser. This connection will be closed.", without doing anything. Last time I even got it 2 times in a row! Any tips? Also, on the "Join the Chat" button, I get two talk icons.


 * That message occurs frequently but often has little meaning. I tend to get it much more than two times in a row multiple times per day. Just ignore it.
 * The extra image should also be gone now.

Template Help
Hey, a while ago you did some js for the Bleach Wiki to have our Fair use rationale template appear automatically in the image upload summary box. I copied that js and used it on the Fairy Tail Wiki and I was wondering if there was a way to customize that js to make it appear in the initial uploading of a picture, but disappear when someone is re-uploading an image.


 * Use this:

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function FairUseRationale { if((wgPageName == 'Special:Upload' || wgPageName == 'Special:MultipleUpload') && document.getElementById('wpDestFile').value == '') { document.getElementById('wpUploadDescription').value = ''; } } addOnloadHook(FairUseRationale);
 * Yyp was the one who got that code, although it looks like he broke it. The above will work, regardless.

Thanks!

User List Bot
Hi Monchoman! I'd like to create a bot on w:c:39cluesroleplay that would add every user that edits to the Wiki to the bottom of w:c:39cluesroleplay:39 Clues Role Play Wiki:User List (making each username a section and linking the header to their user page). Could you help me with that? Thanks!


 * You can do that for any random point in time, but not constantly, unless you have a server or are willing to keep your browser on 24/7. You'd have to get all the users on the wiki from  and build the page text from that (which is relatively easy).


 * Well, could the bot just add all the names it missed while it was off when I turn it back on?


 * That would be harder, as you'd have to either check if the name is already on the page before you add it, which could take quite a bit of parsing dependent upon how you want the page set up.


 * What did you mean by any random point in time then?


 * Any time - for example, 14:21 on 10/22/2011 (the timestamp in your sig). You could have it build the userlist such that it would be accurate at that particular time, but it wouldn't update.

Could it create a new list each time it runs including the accounts created while it was off? (Keeping the list on the same page each time?)


 * Yes, that is doable. What would the text for each section look like?


 * It would be a table with a light blue background, 2 columns, and 2 rows, the header for the first row would say "Characters" in bold and the second would be "Other" in bold. Thanks!


 * Actually, because I need to have the table filled in and don't want it lost, could the bot re-create the list each time but make a sub-page for the user (substituting the sub-page on the master page) and adding the table there and doing that only if the sub-page doesn't exist? For example, a user named USER65 makes an edit to the Wiki at 14:57,10/22/2011 and I run my bot at 15:16,10/22/2011. The bot would re-create the list but only making a sub-page for USER65 since every other user already has a sub-page. Thanks!


 * Hello?

B3
B3 is messed up. First of all the first clumn has everthing in double. Second of all it doesn't do anything. Also why don't you import apiquery right into B3 and what does index query do. Thanks, -- 02:00, October 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Clear your cache. Most queries are probably broken right now because firebug was unable to debug the script while I was at school. B3 uses a modified APIQuery library that has extra functions for printing data to the interface, and managing large query traffic in short periods of time. IndexQuery is a derivation of APIQuery that by default will send parameters to index.php, instead of api.php.


 * Ok, I'll wait. 02:19, October 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most queries should work again if you clear your cache. I've also removed a taskline, which should temporarily fix the CSS.

WHISKEY35's css
Hi monchoman, i recently installed the image licensing script on my page and it was working beautifully until just recently now the script doesnt work for me.

Hey moncho, chat isn't working for me. I don't know why, but could you fix it? Qazqaz   555  21:22, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would assume the bug you're talking about is that nothing happens when you press enter to send a message. That's a problem at Wikia's end, and you'll have to submit it to them via Special:Contact/bug.


 * Actually, no. that's not what happened. The actual thing shows up, but the list of users to the right are missing as well as the messages. Qazqaz  555  21:29, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Do you know how I can alter this code to have this template instead of their message?

Sig modding
I am using your signature code, and attempting to modify it into an announcement template. Is there a way to tell it where to put the gradiant vertically? Eg exactly 50px from the top. I want the first color to accent a heading, and the second to complement the text. Also, is it possible to have two angled gradiants that make a 90 degree angle? If you have a darker color from the top and the left, it looks like a shadow. Any help would be great! Geniusguy445 (talk)  "Oh wait, this isn't the camera." 21:35, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Gradients can only go in one direction, as far as I know. You may be able to specify an absolute offset by changing one of the percents to, although I don't know how widely supported that would be.

Chat hacks
Hello Monchoman45, in regards to your Chat hacks, I was wondering how to add words to Ping and how to create and go to different chat rooms in it, as well as have multiperson private chats?

 * Moncho's stuff is walrus so private rooms are broken. As for the adding ping phrases you can scroll over Ping phrases in the top and add more word to the text box that popups up. @Moncho, get some ddocumentation and in the message at the beginning add the /help command. --

Userpage Help
Hi Moncho. I was wondering if you could please help me create a userpage here. I want to be in a similar format you have yours here on central (just the top part (it's your user template (Template:User:Monchoman45))). I like blue a lot, so if you could use the blue colors I already have on my userpage, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much for the help you can provide!!


 * You can copy the template I use and replace the colors with your own. I use #eb0, so if you ctrl+f for that you'll find all the instances of it.


 * Oh good point. I knew about the finder, but I hadn't thought about it. Thanks!

Back on chat?
Hey Moncho,

I recently asked Jazzi if I could come back on chat? She said no, but recommended that I got another opinion from a chat-mod who was a chat-mod at the time of my kickban. I understand why I was kickbanned, but may you give me one more chance? If I break the chance, feel free to kickban me again. I asked godisme back in September about this, and he said "give it a month or so, then we will see". Roblox wiki mod, Colgatecity 21:54, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think you're on, so can any admin, or chat-mod, reply? Colgatecity 22:09, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the general consensus is "no" --  Random Time  22:10, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you explain to me why, I personally think I deserve one more chance? If I screw up, you deserve to kickban me again. Colgatecity 22:15, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * Common sense should prevail, if you're banned from somewhere, it won't be taken lightly if you take steps to evade that ban --  Random Time  22:21, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
I realize that you get asked about your signature a lot, but I hope you don't mind another question. I've been trying to change the background color from the dark color to a more lighter color, such as white. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the code that can alter that part. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.


 * This is the gradient which controls the background, background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #444 35%, #000 65%), change those to any values you want.--

B3 stuff
Seeing as you aren't responding on the monchbox I'll ask you here. Some bugs with your bot. CVN rollback link says delete this page on the hover ,doc links and move pages in tasks doesnt work. Also can you add the throbber in the refresh and have a do something to all pages in category thing?


 * Fixed the rollback link hover, going to need an error message for the move function in tasks, you can use a category generator.


 * Nothing's showing up for console in move, i think the code is right but you messed up on your API connection because there isn't any logs when I start that. Also please add the throbber for CVN and take chatbot out of B3. --

I think Chatbot's only out of B3 now and not from chat itself. --

 * What OSes do they use?
 * The laptop uses 7 and the desktop uses XP. Shotrocket6 00:49, November 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * It may be because XP is outdated. You should try installing 7 on your desktop and see if that helps.

IE gradient
Don't worry, I'm not using IE&mdash;I'm not that mad. The truth is, I was creating gradients to act as backgrounds for h2 elements on admintools; they, of course, rendered perfectly in my Firefox 8, but the Microsoft gradients I applied to make them work in IE did not render correctly. The code is at the bottom of this file; I wonder if you could find out what causes the problem. Cheers! 18:17, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Accommodating IE only furthers the problem of the fact that it exists.
