Thank you for the DPL suggestion
Hello, do you think I should keep the "tabbing" method and use your DPL code, or revert the page to how it was? In that, it originally listed all the Months within the Year (for example 2010) on one page as a long list. I cut it due to Oasis layout and (for some reason) the pages never loaded quite right when it was long, I am guessing due to the amount of text, even though there was minimal links compared to other pages. I am okay with the images being removed from the Months page, as I can create a gallery on those pages. -- Bunai82 (talk) 17:40, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Un-splitting the year pages would make it a little easier on the DPL, yes - you wouldn't need the titlematch or replaceintitle parameters. But I'd say stick with the split format.  The readability benefits of having a shorter page far outweigh the benefits of having slightly simpler DPL.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael 18:04, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks again. This really eases the editing needed for such pages. ^_^ -- Bunai82 (talk) 03:50, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

^_^;; hello, ran into a problem, the "count = " part didn't work. -- Bunai82 (talk) 03:14, November 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * D'oh, that was my fault - I never fully tested that bit. ^^; The reason it didn't work was because that DPL call was in the form of a parser tag, e.g. &lt;parserTag>...&lt;/parserTag>.  This is different from the parser function syntax, e.g., in that other parser functions (like ) or templates can't be used within the parser tag syntax.  (It has to do with how the different forms are parsed by the MediaWiki engine when it renders a page.)
 * I fixed your January page by converting it to the parser function syntax. You can use whichever style you prefer on the rest of the pages, since they don't require the #expr: function.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael 04:09, November 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you... again lol. -- Bunai82 (talk) 04:17, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
