Re: Harry Potter Wiki category change

 * See m:Help:Job queue. Basically, it helps to update things, for example, when a page gets created or deleted, it helps to change the color of the links to blue and red respectively. Also, when templates and categories get changed, it helps to update them on the affected pages. Without this, changes would only be updated when someone actually puts in the request, and an example may be manually updating it through null edits (edits in which the user clicks "edit" and then "Save page" without making any modifications to the actual content).

 * You can see how many items are in the job queue via Special:Statistics, but I haven't actually been able to see the actual items. G .He (Talk!) 15:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Search link
Hmmm... I'm not sure why it's not working. :S It's working fine at Inheriwiki and InheriwikiEs G .He (Talk!) 01:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, are the NavFrames working on that wiki? G .He (Talk!) 01:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Starting under the default content, replace everything with:

function loadFunc {   document.getElementById('searchform').getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href = "http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search"; }

addOnloadHook(loadFunc);

 * About the MediaWiki upgrade, don't ask. The last time I asked, I got stabbed by Splarka and half-shot by sannse. Ever since 2006, the answer was always "two weeks". G .He (Talk!) 20:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems to work now. :) The NavFrame is probably also working. G .He (Talk!) 20:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by "dismissed"? G .He (Talk!) 23:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That, I don't know. I'm not sure if it was specially implemented, as it involved using JavaScript to set a cookie to remember the dismissal. You may want to contact Splarka and see if he knows how it's done (since he's good with that sort of stuff). G .He (Talk!) 00:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I may be able to help a bit, but as I mentioned earlier, Splarka is generally better with the JS and CSS. What exactly do you want changed? G .<font color="#666666">He <font color="midnightblue">(Talk!) 01:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
