Welcome
Welcome, Rappy 4187, to Community Central!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. For finding a helper or a staff, speaking your language, see the page Staff and Helpers by language. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help revert spam and vandalism.

Re:Signature
Yeah, I made a mod to it today and forgot to remove the extra space--

Small tags in the Oasis skin
Hi Rappy! In the forum, you mentioned that a fix for the   tags not working in the Oasis skin (yech!) was the addition of the following code:

"" to MediaWiki:Wikia.css. But, is there a particular place you suggest? How should I head it up? Would this be okay: /* Small font with tags */ small { font-size: 85%; } Since most users at our wiki use the Monobook skin, this has not really been an issue. However, I’d still like the fonts to appear correctly for those few who are using the Oasis skin. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  09:19, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Please respond here, as I am following your talk page. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  09:20, April 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * This should only be a temporary fix until Wikia gets their CSS hamsters working again. /* Smaller fonts */ for a header works just fine and can be left even when Wikia fixes their end. When Oasis first released, didn't apply to font-size. My wiki CSS files were altered accordingly and I never noticed when they made the change.
 * Place the code you pasted here anywhere in Wikia.css (as long as it starts on a new line). Rappy 09:30, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

(←outdent) Thanks Rappy! I ended up inputting it as follows: /* Smaller fonts */ small { font-size: smaller } Then I switched skins, had a look, and it seems fine. Thanks again! — Spike Toronto  10:17, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Tagline JS Wiki-navigation
I tried doing as you said in the forum, but instead of appearing above randompage and wikiactivity, it appeared in the wikia menu. I put the ja code here, but it's still on the menu, so I took it off the wiki-navigation for a while. What should I do? -- 10:16, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's nearly impossible to say without seeing what it's doing when it's enabled. Please enable it and let me know so I can see what you see. Also, you should think about templating your signature. It's 10x bigger than the message you left me. Rappy 18:22, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Now it's in Wiki-navigation, but instead of appearing above Wiki Activity and Random Page, it's in the Wiki Navigation. Check both pages out. -- 03:55, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * According to it's not there. Rappy 16:14, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply... According to this, this, and this it was bit I took it off because it just becomes another drop-down menu and makes the nav look ugly. -- 03:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't help you with what it's doing unless it's actually there so I can see what it's doing. If you want me to figure out the issue, add the code back in and let me find out what's causing it. Rappy 07:05, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the very late reply I was bussy, I added the code to the wiki navigation it won't work. Check it out now please, I don't want others seeing SP's wiki-navigation like that. -- 03:26, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok It's now actually on Songpedia. Now why did it destroy the Wiki-navigation? -- 12:06, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your JS is not removing/replacing it like it's supposed to. My best bet is that the code to remove it is trying to remove it before the page loads, but that doesn't make any sense. Change the code to this.

$(function {  $('.tagline').prependTo('#WikiHeader').css('float','right');   $('#WikiHeader > nav > ul > li:last').hide; });
 * Clear your cache and tell me what it's doing. Rappy 16:07, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * It still did not work. I can't seem to fix it, even if I cleared my cache. -- 02:10, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

(reset indent) Well, seeing how you won't leave the code in there so I can figure out what's causing it, I guess you're just better off not using the code. It works perfectly fine with the code I gave you on another wiki. I'd like to find out what is causing it, but you refuse to leave the code up longer than a day to figure out what the issue is. Rappy 06:25, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok sorry, I'll refuse to give the code up longer than a day. -- 08:10, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's in Songpedia again, I cleared my cache a dozen times, and it stays on the Wiki-navigation menus. -- 11:45, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * As you have noticed with your alert, Wikia.js isn't loading for whatever reason. Remove the importScriptPage for Purge (it's loading in Common) and remove rewriteTitle; from common.js. If, for whatever reason, it still doesn't work after you make those changes... try moving it to common.js with a check on the skin.

$(function {  if (skin == 'Wikia') {     $('.tagline').prependTo('#WikiHeader').css('float','right');     $('#WikiHeader > nav > ul > li:last').hide;   } });
 * If it loads then but not in Wikia.js, contact Wikia to find out why your Wikia.js isn't loading. Hopefully it works when you remove the errors. Rappy 16:08, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * It didn't work so I'll contact staff? -- 02:40, June 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not seeing any reason for the code not to be loading in Wikia.js. The check on the skin is redundant in Wikia.js. Wikia.js should only load for Wikia. Remove that block of code and place it in common.js instead and see if it loads from there. If it does, I'd contact staff because it seems your Wikia.js isn't loading. When you're moving that around, remove the import of the Purge Button in Wikia.js (it's loading in Common) and remove the  from Common.js (it's a function call without a function to call). Drop me a line here when you've done that so I can see if that's changed anything. Rappy 05:12, June 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * It didn't work, I cleared my cache a dozen times after transferring the code to Common.js. There wasn't any problems with any other js codes, all of them works except for the tagline code.
 * -- 03:12, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

(reset indent) When you're having issues like this and you're trying to find out what is causing it, move the code from one file to the other... not copy it. If it does finally start working, you still have no clue which code is working and which one isn't. Remove ALL code from Wikia.js and change the code in Common.js to  instead. I forgot they changed it. Rappy 04:37, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'll try that even tough I don't really know how to move it with file. But, yeah! I know how to save it as a file but not add it there as a file.
 * -- 01:25, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, nothing seems to work, mind if I'll just take it off.
 * -- 06:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

JS Link
Okay, Rappy, since you are the only person I can get hold of.

I have some js here. What code would I use to link the divs to their respective pages?


 * Nevermind. I just figured out what you wrote meant.


 * $('div#WikiaArticle p').after('   <img src="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110610085228/doctor-who-collectors/images/d/d4/Rename.png" width="100"></a> ') Rappy 20:37, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Don't vandalize
You've been vandalizing my talk page calling a comment inappropriate. If it was inappropriate I would have removed it. Please do not change what other people have written. If you continue to do this I will have to tell a Wikia Staff/Helper/VSTF. <span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  20:53, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, that is considered spam and is not an appropriate use of talk pages. Report me if you want, but if you really need a spam message on your talk page to make you feel better about yourself... all the power to you. Rappy 00:35, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Btw i don't understand your talk page policy, should I reply here. I had kept it the way you left it. But on Randomtime's or someones he just said hi and you deleted it. Why?<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  00:43, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Talk pages aren't for random conversation. On Community, they are more geared towards issues relating to Wikia and or coding help. They are not used for e-mail or IM type dialogue. dsrocks has been spamming talk pages with random/idle dialogue all over community. This is not the place for that. Rappy 01:43, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, is this where is should respond anyways?<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  02:11, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * It differs with the user it seems. I prefer to keep the conversation on one tab instead of two... so when responding, I respond where the conversation is. Much easier to read and follow at a later date. Rappy 02:20, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks

Help
I tried using one of your scripts on my wiki, can you help me activate it/ get it to pop-up. http://www.bakuganusers.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.js

Thanks

- Lord of Pyrus


 * If you want to put an apostrophe in a message, you have to use  instead of  . Otherwise, the JS breaks.


 * Thanks Monchoman. I would suspect it's the ' character in the message as well. 25's should be changed to 25\'s to 'escape' the ' character so the JavaScript doesn't think that it marks the end of the string. Rappy 06:33, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

A JS question
Would it be possible to create a new box on the rail in oasis using js called Notifications and letting it show on all pages. Kinda like editing the box that says the number of pages on the wiki but instead making a completely new box and editing that using js. Thanks,


 * Possible? Yes. Against ToU? Yes. Me creating it for you? No. Rappy 20:12, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, Thanks

Publish to save and rename to move
Could you please give me the code to change publish to save and rename to move using js. Thanks,
 * That's actually in my global.js too.


 * Rappy 03:21, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks,

Editor
Do you have an editor hack to make topnav and search show in it? I think you had one for the Admin dash. Thanks, --


 * The search might be feasible to add, but the top-nav wouldn't. Rappy 19:02, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm fine with just search. Thanks, --

JS question
Hello, I was directed to you by Monchoman as he was unable to do this. "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, 17:52, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Template Code
Hey Rappy, I like your template here on your talk page and would like to use it on mine but couldn't locate it here. Would you mind steering me to the link so I can copy the code? Thanks! And btw, thanks also for the assistance in your replies to my feedback to Sarah on her talk page.

Expanded Wiki Navigation
Hi, I saw how you edit the new expanded wiki navigation on Aion wiki, I'm interested in how you did that. I tried to peep on your js/css but I couldn't find the exact codes, can you be so kind to tell me what I have to look for? Thank you!
