Hi! I'm the Chopedia guy again. The Hilite isn't working out, for what it looks like, please click here. I don't understand what's going on.

Oh, by the way, the source was from the Stellar Dawn wiki. Thank you, Stellar Dawn wiki!

 * Can you link to a page where this "hilite" is working on w:c:stellardawn? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:18 PM PST 15 Jul 2010


 * Add  to the MediaWiki:Common.css and everything will be right as rain. Evil1888 07:38, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ouch, that code's horribly jumbled. I'd recommend having a look at the code I've got at my css at GuildWiki - which highlights selected users (I also have a highlight for templates, etc - but it should be easy to see what's going on. Just copy and edit the code to your Mediawiki:Common.css -- Random Time  10:30, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Or check the page out at Wikia developers: w:c:dev:Hilite/code.css. Mark  ( talk ) 10:35, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

None help. I need the exact code from Stellar Dawn Wiki, the one Fandyllic gave a link to. It's at http://stellardawn.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite.
 * As Evil1888 said, you need to put  onto your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css to allow MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite to work, that's the code that they use at Stellar Dawn -- Random Time  15:46, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

I did it but it still doesn't work. It's none of your fault, but I still can't figure out why. Jeffwang16 16:00, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you refereshed with ctrl+f5? -- Random Time  16:02, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Now it works. I didn't add and  to hilite. Thanks! --Jeffwang16 16:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait... Only staff and helpers are hilited... I'm not! --Jeffwang16 16:09, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * NOOO PLEASE HELP ME NOOO... lol anyway serious it's not working now!


 * Have you tried w:c:chobots:Special:Contact? It may be time for that. Also try contacting someone at one of the wikis where it works. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 4:58 PM PST 16 Jul 2010

You are linking from the dev wiki that only hilights staff, bots, helpers and VSTF. You need to link to the local copy. needs to be. —Manyman (talk) 10:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
