Adminship voting again
Hello, While everything is going fine, couple of members in the One Piece Wikia are seeking for 2 more adminstrators. While Justyn is fine but since he rarly respond(But edit the most) to our request so we need to have two more adminstrator to manage the site and help him. Can you set up another adminstrator voting again for 2 top editors who can become an adminstrators?

 * Justyn is still active and is also a bureaucrat. This means he can hold the election and promote the winners himself, without the need for staff intervention. If he wants to do the same thing I did last time, he should go to w:c:onepiece:Special:Activeusers and make a list of all those users (minus Angela/Sannse/myself, and other staff), and hold a vote. --Splarka (talk) 03:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, we'll try to get Justyn's attention and if he can't respond or start the voting, then I'll let you know. We already ask Justyn for help but he did not seem to try to set it up. We'll give this more time and if Justyn failed to start the voting then again we'll let you know.

Adminship
Hi, thanks for deleting that category from the Harry Potter Wiki. There is currently a backlog of various things for deletion but no active Admins or Bureaucrats (two of three have been inactive for over 6 months) to delete. I have been contributing heavily to the Wiki and feel that progress is hindered by this lack of Admin activity. I have contributed heavily to the English Wikipedia as well and am familiar with the interworkings of a Wiki. I am appealing to you for a promotion to Admin and Bureaucrat status so that I may cleanup pages for deletion, edit various protected pages to improve and update them, and hopefully be able to make some new Admins when the project picks up again. Thanks, John Reaves 06:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It is usually suggested to users wishing to adopt a Wiki that they continue to edit there for a week or three before requesting to adopt it (you've only been editing a few days?). Also, w:c:harrypotter:Special:Activeusers indicates dozens of people are active (that is, have edited in the last month) including one Bureaucrat. You should first have the community hold a vote on new administrators, and/or contact (email/talk page) User:Chosen_One (who edited once on December 27th) to choose some new administrators. If you want, I could set a sitenotice pointing to a discussion/vote page for this purpose. --Splarka (talk) 06:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll wait for Chosen One or the three weeks-whatever comes first. Thanks for your help.  John Reaves 07:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Request
Hello. I need to rename a lot of pages. I asked in forum about the problems, i'm having when doing it(errors). So, they advised to request a temporary sysop status on my wiki. I'm from ru.science.wikia.com - admin of this wiki support this idea. So, if possible please give me this status(i think the period of two weeks will be enough). Thank you. Sasha l 04:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, if you just want sysop status temporarily, V-admin can admin you themself and then I can remove the administrator status after a few days.


 * However, if you are just going to be moving pages and have no need for other administrator powers, I can set you +b as a bot, which will let you move as many pages as you want. Does this sound good? (as a bot, you will be hidden by default from Special:Recentchanges too). --Splarka (talk) 06:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah thats sonds good for me. The bot statis will be fine. Sasha l 06:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I set it and let the admin know. --Splarka (talk) 07:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot. Sasha l 08:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Tricks page
Would you mind if I copied your "tricks" subpage over to the wiki I usually edit to look through? It looks like some useful stuff, I saw it on Recent changes here. Scottch 06:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Go for it, available under GFDL. You might link back just so you remember where it came from ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 06:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and while I'm at it, I was at recent changes again (I'm playing with my monobook and found a page here for it) I saw this edit to the logo image page, and there's a red link in it. I thought I'd let you know because that page is protected and I can't edit it :(  Anyway, thanks for the tricks.  Scottch 03:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

js code little help?
Hi i was trying to install the Live Preview and went to the creator and found the new version InstaView so i tried to install it on w:c:Dofus:Dofus:InstaView/instaview.js, and after some bugs make it work but my almost 0 info on Java im wondering if there is code i dont need or should i keep it as it is? --Cizagna (Talk) 21:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If it ain't broke, don't fix it, is my motto ^_^. In a quick glance there are a few things that aren't needed, but it might be harder to remove them than leave them in. --Splarka (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * ha ha ha ok, nice motto, just a little extra thing can i move the insta button and where its display like here at wikia? as i have found it more pleasant --Cizagna (Talk) 04:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you be more specific? --Splarka (talk) 04:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikias Live Preview button appears directly below the normal edit box and on top of the copywriters notice, but the InstaView has the button between the "save page" and the "show preview" button, its nice, but all the warning message about copywriters eats a chunk of my visual space making it some times unpleasant (as far i have experimented) but i dont know how to change that to be display as livepreview. By the way thanks for the move i did not thing to use Mediawiki namespace to protect it.--Cizagna (Talk) 04:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, you could put this CSS into your user/monobook.css on dofus to hide them and give you more visual space:


 * 1) editpage-copywarn { display: none ; }
 * 2) editpage-tools { display: none ; }
 * I'll have to ponder on the best way to move the button. --Splarka (talk) 05:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Try this as a replacement for the top function in that script:

addOnloadHook(function{ if (document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn')) {    var oldPreview = document.getElementById('wpPreview');    var insertPoint = document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn');    var newPreview = document.createElement('input');    newPreview.setAttribute('type', 'button');    newPreview.setAttribute('style', 'font-style: italic;');    newPreview.setAttribute('value', 'InstaView');    newPreview.setAttribute('onclick', "InstaView.dump('wpTextbox1', 'InstaViewDump')");    insertPoint.parentNode.insertBefore(newPreview, insertPoint);    oldPreview.parentNode.innerHTML += ' ';    oldPreview.value = 'Classic Preview';  } });
 * You should be able to insert it wherever you want by modifying  to the ID of any element in the edit form. --Splarka (talk) 05:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok i did a little playing:

addOnloadHook(function{ if (document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn')) {    var newPreview = document.createElement('input');    var oldPreview = document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn');    newPreview.setAttribute('type', 'button');    newPreview.setAttribute('value', 'InstaView');    newPreview.setAttribute('onclick', "InstaView.dump('wpTextbox1', 'InstaViewDump')");    oldPreview.parentNode.insertBefore(newPreview, oldPreview);    oldPreview.parentNode.innerHTML += ' ';    oldPreview.value = 'Classic Preview';    } });
 * I remove the Style
 * I change  for
 * And looks like its working, but i dont seem to be able to move the preview box up, look at this image that shows the wikia live bar, againts my bar in dofus in My user page for toying arround, think i did something that i should not by removing the  line

Take 2
Ahh, you did not make it clear to me that you wanted to move the preview box, you only indicated that you wanted to move the preview button. Also, be careful of the changes you make. By changing the oldPreview ID to 'editpage-copywarn' you've made a later re-assignment of the old preview a few lines down a bit broken. That is why in my example I added a new variable for the insertion. Moving the preview box is not as easy, as it was appended to the form at the end. To customarily insert it would be easier using another insertBefore (see example). Try this (exactly as is, mindful if you make changes): addOnloadHook(function{ if (document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn')) {    var oldPreview = document.getElementById('wpPreview');    oldPreview.value = 'Classic Preview';    var insertPoint = document.getElementById('editpage-copywarn');

var newPreview = document.createElement('input'); newPreview.setAttribute('type', 'button'); newPreview.setAttribute('style', 'font-style: italic;'); newPreview.setAttribute('value', 'InstaView'); newPreview.setAttribute('onclick', "InstaView.dump('wpTextbox1', 'InstaViewDump')");

var editWindow = document.createElement('div'); editWindow.setAttribute('style', 'margin: 5px 0 5px 0; padding: 5px; border: 2px solid orange;'); editWindow.setAttribute('id', 'InstaViewDump');

insertPoint.parentNode.insertBefore(editWindow, insertPoint); insertPoint.parentNode.insertBefore(newPreview, insertPoint); } }); --Splarka (talk) 11:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah sorry yes i was referring to the whole thing but only knew how to mention the button, the only thing i modify now is that i swap the 2  rows between them so that the button appears on top and the preview box below the "InstaView" button. Aside from that Thank you very much for all your help ^_^ --Cizagna (Talk) 14:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
