User talk:Porter21

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Porter21!

We're 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, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

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 create one! Check out our list of 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 here.

Enjoy! -- Sannse (Talk) 13:07, 30 June 2009

Re: Importing CSS
Here's the code I've used before (that I copied from someone else) that worked for me:

@import "http://name.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monaco.css&action=raw&templates=expand&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000";

I don't know if all that code beyond the URL is necessary or not, but that's the way I've always used it ever since I copy/pasted/edited it from the place I first saw it used. JoePlay ( talk ) 19:01, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

CommunityStickies
Hi, I want to make sure that you see the announcement on the WikiStickies blog page about the new way to create your own CommunityStickies! You'd posted that you wanted a way to customize the stickies, and now you'll be able to make your own. Let me know if you have any questions about it! -- Danny (talk ) 21:48, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Your suggestion worked :)
Howdy. I took your suggestion here and it worked. If you wanted to readd your response, I could thank you there, and others would see it as well.--Rockfang 10:02, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE: IE6 usage at The Vault
Hi Porter. The percentage of visitors to The Vault that use IE (all versions) is 27%. Of that 27%, only 4% use IE6, so if I did the math correctly, that comes out to about 1% of total visits that use IE6. JoePlay ( talk ) 18:28, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I echoed your blog comment
See Forum:Your_First_Look_at_the_New_Wikia_(discussion). -- ◄mendel► 14:56, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I hope we can get a more detailed discussion going than simply "it sucks" and "it's awesome", although that's sometimes hard to achieve with blog comments. -- Porter21 (talk) 15:26, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Random page button
Would you be able to write a javascript function to switch the "Random Page" button from linking to Special:Random to Special:Random/main instead? This would stop the button from directing people to pages that aren't mainspace articles on my wiki. :) Thanks. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  00:06, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure. I haven't tested it, but this should do it when added to Common.js or Wikia.js:

 jQuery(function($) {  if (skin == "oasis" || skin == "wikia") {      $('#WikiHeader > div.buttons > a[data-id="randompage"]').attr('href', '/wiki/Special:Random/main');   } });

 * I've also added it as a config option to the AdvancedOasisUI script :) -- Porter21 (talk) 13:02, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * The AdvancedOasisUI script option works great. :) The individual function by itself doesn't seem to be working, though - would you be able to fix it? Thanks again. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  07:43, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fixed code above. Sometimes it's the little things ;) -- Porter21 (talk) 08:08, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
Hey, I just wanted to thank you again for the code you kindly provided for altering the PAGENAME function. It has helped me out at my wiki for a task I was trying to do, as well as opened up the opportunity to work that function into other templates! It's always heartening when I receive such useful pointers and help over here, and I hope one day I'll get knowledgeable enough to help others out--Acer4666 09:58, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
