Curved corners
Hey,though I've been using this feature for a long time I still dont know the code to curve the corners of tables...do help me:)


 * That's CSS. It works like this:


 * Yields:


 * You need all 3  properties, or it won't show up in every browser. Also note that border radii don't show up in most IE versions - but you can't help that, it's Microsoft's fault.

Hey I'm talking about the curved corners,like in you signature:)--


 * I thought that would work, although apparently wikitext can't make corners on tables. Try putting this in Common.css:

 table { -moz-border-radius:2ex; -webkit-border-radius:2ex; border-radius:2ex; }
 * That should work.

On you user page,you got a template right?..the template has it's border rounded.I'm talking about that code.Thanks:)


 * That is the code..

Thanks a lot buddy..I've got a question,where should the "px" go?.Is it ?:)--


 * You can use  for border radius, but I usually use , which is just a different unit.

One more thing
Please make this appear in one piece!(in a single box,should not be too much of length but can be as wide as possible)

 * Yep it is in the same line for me too.
 * I mean I want all of 'em in a single box(can be of any length,but smaller width)..:)

Fun with code
I have a project for you and it should be fun. I am having problems with an annoying user on Bleach wiki. He thinks he knows all there is to know about wikis and is constantly showcasing "his" css and js to the newer users. Really his css and js are just copies of my own pages. Think you can develop some code that will just mess everything up for him badly enough that he will stop trying to copy everything I do?--


 * I have mixed feelings about this:I luv the idea(I usually do this type of stuff at my wiki!)..but what?Godi thinks this way?lol!

Common.js issues
Hey, I tried what you said for my Common.js issue at Combine OverWiki, but nothing changes. :/ Help! Klow 19:21, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * At the end of the  function at the top of the page, instead of , use.
 * Still broken! Collapsing template still gone! Klow 00:29, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * In the  function near the bottom, the replace line has an extra   at the end. Just in case, I checked ahead this time - that should be your last syntax error, so it should work once you change that. Also, SiPlus has added a few functions to your Common.js that violate the ToU - For example, the one that unbinds listeners on  . Staff will make you remove them later anyway if you leave them there, it's just easier to do it now.
 * Oh man, that's fixed, at last! Thanks! I'll remove that, but what is it exactly? :/ Klow 10:59, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it this:You've seen the topmost bar on the wikia right?It contains dropdown menus for different wikias,the code empties it.I think it's that.
 * Sort of. The function unbinds the listener that fires when you mouse over the menu - it stops it from dropping down.

Layout pages
Is there a way to know all the pages that were created using the Layout builder?


 * I believe there's a way to find all pages created with a specific layout, although I don't know how. I tend to ignore LayoutBuilder, because it forces RTE use.

Missing Images
Hi Monchoman45, I'm an admin on the Hogwarts RPG Wiki and we had to shut down our House Points system because two images went missing. I contacted a Wikia Staff but they didn't reply. Do you think you could help? Thanks, Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  12:46, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm seeing all the images fine. What browser are you using?


 * Safari. But you see File:Gryff.png and File:Puff.gif? And speaking of the RPG, did I do the Facebook thing for the RPG right? Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  13:08, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, both of those are there. The facebook entry also looks good.


 * You see 4 hourglasses, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 I just looked at it and noticed they were fixed. I'll find out who did it. Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:20, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

City of Wonder Wiki
Hey Monchoman, I've been using the Sig code now for quite a while and everything going smoothly however for some reason, the code has disappeared off the Sig/Real page for the City of Wonder wiki and now the time stamp isn't showing on my sig line. I've tried re-adding the code as before but for SOME ODD reason, it's not saving it this time. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks mate for your continued help! :-)


 * I'm seeing it on the page you linked. Is the problem still there?

Man is this tempre-mental (sp?) or what? lol! What browser are you using to see it?
 * The sig bar is there (in the City of Wonder wiki) but the time stamp (in the City of Wonder wiki) isn't showing. I've checked it using Firefox AND IE8 with the same results, even clearing cache to make sure I wasn't missing something. I add the code to the edit box, when I preview it, it's not showing nor once I save the page it's not there. Also on some pages, such as my talk page it's showing as: 20:39,5/22/2011
 * P:S: also on this wiki Logo Creation Wiki the code sig line is showing as well prompting me to think there may be something changed in the Special Preferences area ? It's now propogated to several wiki's :(((
 * P:S: also on this wiki Logo Creation Wiki the code sig line is showing as well prompting me to think there may be something changed in the Special Preferences area ? It's now propogated to several wiki's :(((


 * You need a  page, like mine, or it won't substitute properly.


 * Amazing how we can miss one tiny detail and the whole train rumbles to a dead stop!
 * Thanks! And in the meantime please overlook my lapse of intelligence :-) All fixed!



Warning notification
Hey, me again. My wiki has a spoiler notification that appears at the top of every page. It is only appearing for registered users but I would like it to appear for everyone. It uses the following codes.

CSS /*spoiler warning*/ .warningmessage { color: #ff6500; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/okami/images/4/43/YamiIcon.png);

JS /*spoiler warning*/ if( ( wgAction === "edit" && wgNamespaceNumber > -1 && wgNamespaceNumber % 2 === 0 ) || wgPageName === "Special:CreatePage" ) $(" Ōkami Wiki contains spoilers! Read at your own risk!   ") .prependTo(skin === "oasis" || skin === "wikia" ? '#WikiaArticle' : '#bodyContent');

Do you know how to get it to appear regardless of whether a user is logged in or not?--Soul reaper 04:28, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I dont think CSS loads for anons:)


 * CSS loads for everyone, just like JS. A few things I notice with this:
 * You need a closing bracket after the CSS.
 * is broken - it's almost always edit on all pages, regardless of whether you're actually editing a page or not.
 * The closing  tag is missing the.
 * It may help to put parenthesis around the condition part of your ternary operator.
 * You don't need to use,   will do - types can be confusing in JS, as one object can have multiple types. Strings and numbers, for example, are essentially interchangeable in many cases.
 * Of those, fixing  is the most difficult - instead, use , and put this after your JS:

<pre style="margin-left:48px;"> function urlQuery(quer) { for(i in location.href.split('?')) { for(j in location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')) { if(location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')[j].split('=')[0] == quer) { return location.href.split('?')[i].split('&')[j].split('=')[1]; }		}	}	return ''; }
 * That should fix it.
 * Hey on our wiki,anons still see the "image added by" stuff while the css doesnt allow it
 * Checked on my sandbox wiki, and CSS definitely loads for anons. There's probably a different problem with the CSS.
 * Hmm! I'll inform the community about this.Thanks:)
 * I made the changes you suggested but it still only appears for registered users, any other suggestions or is there perhaps a larger error on the wiki?--Soul reaper 04:30, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably a larger error. Unfortunately, my school proxy blocks your wiki, so I can't check what it is at the moment.
 * Alright, thanks for all your help--Soul reaper 01:31, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just looked at it - interestingly enough, none of your CSS ever loads. Not for anons, nor for logged in users. This is probably due to a syntax error in the code, as in some cases the browser will simply discard a file that throws a fatal error while compiling.
 * That's really weird, the spoiler warning shows up for me. Do you know if it can be fixed?--Soul reaper 07:17, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
I saw what you put in response to what I put on Sannse's Talk Page, and I would be sending this to Dopp normally, but I have a few questions:

You said the situation is being handled or worked on, and that it takes a while to figure out who is who. Does that mean the bans could be changed, or not?

Dopp might think me and the users involved are the same people, so that is why i'm leaving this on your Talk Page.

I know you can't talk against your colleague, and I don't expect you to, but can you kindly give me an explanation about that comment on Dopp's Talk Page that she made to DroidX? I forgot to put that DroidX is Vanessa Brandon under a different account. The comments they exchanged made it seem like there was a purpose to allowing Vanessa to create a second account to get John(Lupojohn) banned. I'm not accusing, rather asking.

Thank you. Kindly respond when you can. MarissaDunn 17:54, May 25, 2011 (UTC)MarissaDunn


 * Dopp is handling the situation. Staff are checking ips to see who is who and will ban the alternate accounts and the originals that need to be banned. Leave it to Dopp to handle.--

WA-->RC
Is there a way to change the button that has "Wiki activity" to "Recent Changes"?...I lately became a RC fan:)


 * Check out his blog :) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 08:55, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thanks buddy:)
 * Also how do I change the "Random Page" to the "logs" page?(is there a way?)
 * Put  underneath the line that starts with.
 * So we can basically change it to any link we want?
 * Yep. Any link can be changed into any other link.
 * Yep. Any link can be changed into any other link.

Parser Evaluation Order
Hi! I made a while ago this forum and I thank you again for your answer. About my problem with the parser evaluation order, if you don't find a solution tell me so I'll know that it can't be done. Of course it's not an urgent matter, so don't worry. leviathan_89 17:36, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Duke Nukem Wiki CSS
Would it be possible for you to adjust the Duke Nukem Wiki's CSS so that it can properly display portals, like here? Darkman 4 22:42, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * This needs to be sent to Special:Contact and they will enable the portal namespace so it displays properly--
 * I've sent a request, but someone has said that the wiki's CSS needs to be slightly adjusted as well. Darkman 4 22:44, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * The boxes need CSS, but that's it. If you're thinking about the rail, it should be removed by default when Wikia enables the Portal: namespace for you. If it's still there after they enable the namespace, add  to MediaWiki:Wikia.css.

Eversor Guild Wiki
Hey Monchoman, can you or someone else in the know take a look at our CSS page and change the background for the edit box back to white and the text to black (such as appears here when editing?) We borrowed a CSS page from another wiki to help get the Scrolling center area, and somehow in the mix our background changed to black. I've tried changing it to white using the Theme Designer but to no avail, and I've tried changing the html color codes on the CSS page where it looked like it would take, but still nothing has changed. It's currently black with/grey text and talk about tough to see! Thanks so much for helping fix this annoying issue!

We may have two different CSS pages working against each other :( so keep whichever we need, heck get rid of them all, whatever works and whatever helps! <b-grin> </b>

<b-grin>Common CSS and Wiki CSS </b>

<b-grin>Indebted, </b>


 * In Wikia.css, change  to , and it should be fixed.


 * That fixed it nicely! Thanks again for your consistant support and knowledge :--)

Right
Get this to float on right buddy:)--


 * Like that?


 * yeah...thanks a lot(another user asked me for this and I didnt know how to:))--

Comment highlighting
Can you gimme the code to highlight a specific user's comment on blogs(personal JS/CSS).Thanks:)


 * Use this:

.comments li[data-user="Username"] blockquote {background: code !important;}


 * Slightly more complicated than the above, the code that's used to highlight staff (which you can edit) is:

I have the first code in my CSS..it doesnt work:(
 * Well the glee wiki has them in it's MediaWiki:Wikia.css and it works except in Google chrome which shows normal users with it when only admin's comments are highlighted.
 * Hmm! It just doesnt work no matter what:(
 * It works fine with me. Do you use Chrome?

.comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote { background: #8B0000 !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote:after { border-color: transparent #8B0000 #8B0000 transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote div { background: transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {font-family:Kristen ITC !important;} .comments li[data-user="Godisme"] blockquote {color:#FFF000 !important;}

The first three .comments are for highlighting, the fourth is for font and the last is for font color.--

Hmm! I added the code and I'm waiting for the effect to take place..@F1:I use FF and Safari.Thanks anyway guys:)

Forum Problems on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi, I'm having problems with 2 forums on the Hogwarts RPG Wiki. If you see here, 2 forums say that they were never edited but there are some, if you look here, they were edited. Could you help? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:54, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and the same on the Forum:Index. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:55, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was able to make Forum:Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures work, using this page (which you can delete now). I'm not sure why it won't work for the other pages you have in Category:Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures, but I think that putting Template:Forumheader/Summary1 for Care of Magical Creatures on those pages will make them show up. If you don't want the banner at the top, you can remove it from the template or hide it with.


 * I believe the pages must be in the Forum namespace also. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 17:02, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that - yes, those pages must be in the forum namespace. Alternatively, you can go to the forum list page and delete, although for organizational purposes it's probably better to have them as forum pages.


 * I was able to fix everything but the Summary1 so I deleted it. Thanks for your help! <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  17:24, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Small Text Problem on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi, I have another thing I hope to get your help on. On the Hogwarts RPG, Shooting Starz's talk page's writing is small once you get to the bottom. I was looking at it and the small writing starts right under this. The page is too small to be archived and I don't think we should take off the template. Could you help? Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  21:43, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see all the writing normal sized. What browser are you using?


 * I'm using Safari. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  21:59, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I changed to Explorer and now I see it fine. I told Shooting Starz to try updating her browser and/or archiving her talk page. Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  22:16, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Archiving the talk page won't fix the problem, just isolate it. It also may help to not use  tags, which are deprecated.

View on the Hogwarts RPG
Hi Monchoman45,

If you go here, you'll see Bureaucrat Admin underlined at the very top of the user page. (On the same line as the user name.) How do you do that on the Hogwarts RPG? Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  12:34, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would appear to be the PHP. I checked through all of the admins' pages for any sort of hook, and came up empty handed. It may be part of the new userpage layout, which is worse than the old one in a few respects. So instead, put this in your :

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function AdminUserpageHeader { $('head').append('<style type="text/css">\n/* From UserProfilePage.scss */\n.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups{*display:inline-block;float:right;margin:7px 5px 0 0}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups:after{content:".";display:block;height:0;clear:both;visibility:hidden}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups li{font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;background-image:url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb37682/common/skins/oasis/images/checkers.png);background-position:0px 14px;background-repeat:repeat-x;float:left;height:20px;margin-right:7px}.WikiaUserPagesHeader .user-groups li span{text-decoration:none;color:#3a3a3a;}\n '); $('#WikiaUserPagesHeader h1').after('<ul class="user-groups"></ul>'); //Admins if(wgPageName == 'User:Head.Boy.Hog' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin') { $('.user-groups').prepend('<li> Admin </li>'); }	//Bureaucrats if(wgPageName == 'User:Head.Boy.Hog' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin' || wgPageName == 'User:Another admin') { $('.user-groups').prepend('<li> Bureaucrat </li>'); } }

addOnloadHook(AdminUserpageHeader);
 * That'll give you exactly the same thing. You'll need to add each admin's and each bureaucrat's name to their respective s in the way that they're there now.


 * I'll do that. Thanks! <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:43, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's okay, we don't need it since we're going to get more users and we'd need a lot more admins, rollbacks and bureaucrats. <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  13:55, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Inter Wikia Pics (On different Wikis)
You know how you can add w:c:WIKI DOMAIN:PAGE NAME to a page to add a link to another Wiki's page? Well can you do to add a picture from another Wiki? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  23:59, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, the File call will search for a pic on the wiki starting with w:c: then--


 * And  will simply link to   on , and display the text  . You can put just the full url of the picture on the page, but it won't link or be in a thumbnail like a regular picture. However, it might be possible to mimic some of the ways files are handled with a template.

Summary dropdowns
You get a dropdown menu of summaries while editing the Runescape wikia,can I have the code for my JS/CSS..that would be very helpful for me:)


 * You might want to ask the Runescape Wiki admins. I can't access Runescape Wiki from where I am now.
 * You at school?
 * Yep. Only one more week, luckily.
 * I sorta figured it out...Can you access my JS?...I get the dropdown bar but no content!
 * Can you link it?
 * My JS?..here.
 * Think you missed my message
 * Yes you did!
 * Yes you did!

(unindent) Sorry, time's been tight recently. The code is trying to load Template:Stdsummaries, which obviously won't exist on most wikis. You'll probably want to get the HTML from Runescape Wiki's template, and then hardcode it into the JS by replacing "HTML" at the bottom with the HTML from the template: $(function {	var $label = $('#wpSummaryLabel');	if (!$label.size) {		return;	}	$combo = $(' ').attr('id', 'stdSummaries').change(function { var val = $(this).val; if (val != '') { $('#wpSummaryEnhanced,#wpSummary').val(val); }	});	$label.prepend(' ').prepend($combo).prepend('Summaries: ');	$combo.append('HTML'); }); Hopefully that'll work, I took out the whole Ajax function which looked like it had a calibrating step in it, although I don't think it's necessary.


 * Thanks!..check out my JS,and see if what I've done is right(It doesnt work).

JS Help
Hi Moncho, I have the following wiki link: 'community.wikia.com/index.php?title=&action=edit'. How would this be written in JS, and how could the result of this be used in a html link tag?


 * Rappy 19:30, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * , if you want the whole thing. And here's a list of the variables you're most likely to want to use for stuff, as they would be for you on the page Forum:Community Central Forum:


 * There are a few more technical ones and a few convenience ones, but you can do most of the things you'd want with those.

Underline titles
Hello there, how do I change the colors and thickness of the lines under the titles within an article? I'd also like to have lines under each subtitles. Good example here. I'd like a stronger and thicker grey under "Features" and a line under "Reception and control complexes" as well. Klow 13:17, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You must use this:

h1 { border-bottom:XXpx solid #808080; margin-bottom:XXpx; } Just replace h1 with the particular headline number (h1, h2, h3, h4 and h5) and replace "XX" with their values.
 * That works but not only for the article titles. So even the wiki logo is underlined. Plus that it doesn't work for the "==" titles. Klow 15:08, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like Finchelfanno said, replace h1 with the header type you want to change. == is h2 === is h3, etc. Try .WikiaArticle h2, .WikiaArticle h3 { border-bottom:XXpx solid #808080; } Rappy 15:50, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Particular CSS not working in MediaWiki:Wikia.css
Hi Monchoman! I figured if anyone could answer this question it would be you! On our wiki, we like the edit window to have a red background if the page being edited is fully protected. This acts to remind Administrators that they are editing a fully protected page and to take care. You can see an example . The following is the CSS that we use in MediaWiki:Monobook.css where it works perfectly:

N.B. The above code was changed to the new better code. Original input is here. — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  6:43PM EDT, June 17, 2011

Unfortunately, it does not work in Oasis, despite the code also being in MediaWiki:Wikia.css. I thought that it would at least work when one is editing in Source mode. But, it does not. The only thing I can guess is that the editing area in the RTE is called something other than. Any ideas how to get it to work in Oasis? Thanks! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  5:06AM EDT, June 17, 2011


 * I'd disable the RTE in your preferences under editing. While it is possible to color the RTE background, it's a pain to find the correct reference, as the RTE is a giant mess, in its abilities, its coding, its structure, and its numerous errors. You also don't need all the namespace classes in the CSS -  does the same thing as what you have there.


 * This is because Wikia dropped the ball with the RTE and didn't forward the original classes to the RTE text field. From the looks of it, there is no way to do what you want with the RTE other than with JS to see if the hidden original text field (source mode) exists and to color .cke_text (whatever the class is) with the color you want. Might want to Special:Contact the fact that those classes are lost when using the RTE. Rappy 17:10, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you both for your input! I thought that there might be a way to at least change it in source mode. But, now that I read both of your responses, I see that that is not easily possible. We are trying to reduce the need for users to have to rely on Monobook, of which this is only one aspect, and so are looking for ways to provide the same overall functionality in Oasis. Regarding Special:Contact, in reviewing the new RTE, I did mention it to staff. They indicated that they understood the comment, but I do not know if they’re working on it. Thanks again! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  6:43PM EDT, June 17, 2011

Bot Request1
Hello, I made this topic back in May '11 asking if a bot can mass delete images. I wanted to know if you had time to clear out the first set of images. I did not create the Category they occupy; the images are linking by template so is that going to be a problem? -- Bunai82 (talk) 23:59, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Category1


 * IIrc, Moncho only has AWB, which cannot delete images.--


 * I can delete the images using pybot, so you want all images in that category gone? -- 00:04, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * oh, I didn't know they do different actions ^_^;;
 * Yes, if possible all the images specifically with that category. Note, there is another of a similar name, but those images are to remain because they are sorted. -- Bunai82 (talk) 00:15, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

&larr; (outdent) AWB can delete if you have admin privileges on the wiki. From the manual: "Delete — For administrators use only. Allows you to delete a page. Upon pressing this button, a window appears asking for a summary of the change, which is then confirmed by pressing delete again."Hope that helps. — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  9:20PM EDT, June 17, 2011


 * I have AWB and my JS based script, which is capable of deleting images, although currently as it uses api.php it can only delete pages (or images) in a category. I just skimmed through api.php again and it looks like there isn't a module for unused images - although they can still be yanked out of index.php. However, the category you linked above is empty, so has this been resolved?


 * @Monchoman45, yes, it has been resolved, although I do have another set that needs deletion. What would I need to do? -- Bunai82 (talk) 18:46, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * If they're already categorized, you only need to sysop User:Monchbot and I can delete them for you. If not, you probably want to get Charitwo again, as it'll take me some time to get my bot to be able to delete things from Special:UnusedFiles.


 * Thanks. However, this isn't about Special:UnusedFiles ^_^ there are files I need, some are just numerous. This is about deleting images that are sorted by the "None selected" template. Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear.


 * Here is Category2. The first images you should see is cards and a top hat. ^_^; its not gonna go nuts is it? lol -- Bunai82 (talk) 05:39, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. You can desysop the bot now, unless you've got another category you want deleted.
 * Thank you ^_^ very clean. I'll see if there is anything else in need of removal and get back to you. If not, I will comment when I remove the bot. -- Bunai82 (talk) 16:24, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is Category3. The first images you should see is a mood bubble and a top hat. For this you can delete the template with the rest of the images. -- Bunai82 (talk) 21:08, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. That category was a lot bigger than I thought it would be - taught me a thing or two about large queries that I'll have to change in my script later. ~ Monch bot ( Contribs  |  Monchoman45  |  Talk ) 22:58, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. I should have counted the amount of images ^_^; I'll release Monchbot, as I think I need Charitwo for the last one. -- Bunai82 (talk) 23:42, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the number was 851, which it attempted to delete all at once. Bad processing on my part.

Signature Help
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me add the time stamp to my signature. I edit many wikis so please leave me a message on my talk. 04:45, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

followed pages
in your blog you had a way to add contribs to the drop down menu in the upper right corner. But can you add blogs and/or delete followed pages? Thanks--<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  15:27, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * For blogs:

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function UserBlogsMenuItem { $('.AccountNavigation li:first-child .subnav li:first-child').after('<li><a href="/wiki/User_blog:' + wgUserName + '">Blogs</a></li>'); } addOnloadHook(UserBlogsMenuItem);


 * For editing followed pages:

<pre style="margin-left:24px;"> function WatchlistMenuItem { $('.AccountNavigation .subnav li a[href="/wiki/Special:Following"]').replaceWith('<li><a href="/wiki/Special:Watchlist/raw">Edit watchlist</a></li>'); } addOnloadHook(WatchlistMenuItem);
 * Sorry I meant I wanted to delete followed pages.(corrected typo) can you do this?<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  21:53, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * Updated code above. It'll link to the page that lets you add or remove pages from your watchlist. If you mean deleting the actual pages, you'd need a bot for that. '
 * umm I meant can you delete followed pages from the drop down menu?--<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  23:46, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean unfollow a page?
 * Moncho, I think he means removing the followed pages link from the drop down menu by your name at the top.--
 * Exactly, thanks Godsime<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  23:58, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah. In that case, use this:

<pre style="margin-left:168px;"> function WatchlistMenuItem { $('.AccountNavigation .subnav li a[href="/wiki/Special:Following"]').parent.remove; } addOnloadHook(WatchlistMenuItem);


 * Thanks--<span style="color:Navy;font-family:Comic Sans MS;background:Green;border:1px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Black;">kangaroopowah Talk  00:02, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * My bad - updated the above code. The previous one will probably look bad.

As a slight change to the question so far, if I want to change to a true watchlist option, is the following correct? function WatchlistMenuItem { $('.AccountNavigation .subnav li a[href="/wiki/Special:Watchlist"]').parent.remove; } addOnloadHook(WatchlistMenuItem); The only thing I’m not sure of is, how do I change the text in the AccountNavigation dropdown menu to say Watchlist instead of Following?

 UPDATE : I ended up trying this: // Add Watchlist to AccountNavigation in the Wikia skin

function WatchlistMenuItem { $('ul.AccountNavigation li:first-child ul.subnav li:first-child').after('<li><a href="/wiki/Special:Watchlist/'+ encodeURIComponent (wgUserName) +'">Watchlist</a></li>'); } addOnloadHook(WatchlistMenuItem);

// END Add Watchlist to AccountNavigation in the Wikia skin It did not work. So where did in-the-dark me go wrong? Thanks! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  11:54AM EDT, June 21, 2011


 * $('<li><a href="/wiki/Special:Watchlist/'+ encodeURIComponent(wgUserName) +'">Watchlist</a></li>').insertAfter('.AccountNavigation .subnav li:first-child');
 * Rappy 17:22, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Rappy! It works! Is there anyway to change the order of things in the dropdown for AccountNavigation? I’d like to change the position of the new item.

SigReal for All Wikis
If I were to do what you said at User:Monchoman45/SigReal and I were on the Hogwarts Roleplay Wiki and used, would it use the signature set up using your instructions? Thanks, <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  22:53, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * As long as you have the username subpages on that wiki then yes.--


 * So you created a subpage for your sig on every wiki you edited on? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  23:22, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes.--


 * And if I were to do it the way Monchoman45 said to do it on his subpage, would I have to name it /SigReal? <font face="Segoe Script" size="3" color="Indigo" >Head.Boy.Hog <font face="Currier" size="2" color="Green">(Talk To Me)  23:26, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can name it whatever you want, as long as you change the template call on the /Sig page.

monobook buttons
I installed the js for swiching between monobook and vector but can you make the change permanent until you click on a button again cuz after you go to another page it switches to oasis. Also can you do if then statements in js.

Disabling Visual Mode
I'm afraid that after the new editor graduates from Wikia Labs - Wikia will roll it out globally!!!! And anyways if they also ignore our feedback!!!!!! So just incase they roll it out globally. Is there some js or css codes that can disable it? Since I have been editing Wiki Farms and Wikmedia in 2008 (wasn't in Wikia til' July 2009) and it's only Wikia that has RTE and Visual thingy. And RTE is ok because source mode isn't affected at all. But the VISUAL MODE > They dared to touch source mode and it was a disaster for them. So again, is there css/js codes to disable visual mode just incase Wikia rolls it out globally?

-- 10:17, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * NC: Can I point out that source mode can still be used with the new editing interface? It's just the position of some buttons and features that have changed... otherwise it's fundamentally the same. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  10:25, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
