MediaWiki:Newmessagesdifflink
Any way you can make 'show most recent' (or 'last change' as en.wp uses) as the default MediaWiki:Newmessagesdifflink on all wikia? Those that haven't changed it yet, anyway... Splarka 09:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Definitely want to make it the default. When I changed it for www.wikia.com I though that change would propagate throughout all of our wikia... but I learned later that each wikia has its own MediaWiki template pages. This is not a good thing in general, so we will be fixing that later. For now what is needed is to change this everywhere in the database. I am looking into doing that as soon as I get done creating the Product portal page and templates for use in posting product requirements and requests. :)


 * Found another that might need universal change, or might be fixed on the next upgrade: MediaWiki:Tooltip-diff, claims the shortcut key is alt-d, but it is actually alt-v. Splarka 10:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Have had several complaints in #wikia about this already ^_^. The two most common concerns are: -Splarka 09:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Vandals are listed prominently for popular pages (is there a way to have credits disableable in a MediaWiki: message? I don't see one (MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedby doesn't seem to be able to remove the whole list).  ,  .
 * 2) The line is too long, even on very high resolutions it still often takes up too much width. This can be fixed with css sloppily, eg: . Could you possibly add this (or a better variant) to the wikia monobook skin to prevent horizontal scrollbars on any popular pages?


 * Additionally, there will be bots in the list which will be hidden in other lists. 80.139.31.80 10:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
