User templates
Hi, just to check, but can anyone create a user page template here or do I have to request some kind of permission? I believe they are used for cross-wiki transclusion, aren't they?


 * No, anyone is free to create a user page template. And yes, they are used for cross wiki transclusion.--

Kickbanned from chat
Hey God. I noticed one you used your bot to unkickban several users that were kickbanned from chat. How do you do it?


 * I did so manually, just with the bot account so it would not flood.-


 * How do you search up users on the bot account? I am on AWB, but I am not sure how to search for users on it.


 * You can't. When I was unbanning people, I was logged in to wikia on my browser with my bot account. I just did it with that account instead of my regular one since the bot account was flagged and I would not be flooding recent changes. I didn't actually use any bot program.--


 * Oh, I understand now. Thanks :)

Bot
Hey god. I recently asked my bot to remove all catergories from a page and there still there look


 * To remove all categories from a page, you need to go to the options tab and in the normal settings, you need to use Regex to capture the categories and replace with nothing.--

User:Godisme/Sig2
Hey Godisme, would you be opposed to me making HTML and CSS improvements to your sig, to decrease its total footprint, similar to what I did for Gallantmon v.X on w:c:yugioh:User:Dinoguy1000/sandbox/gallantsig (compare to original)? (Feel free to take any improvements you'd like without asking, as well ;) ) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:30, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * The sig is how I want it at the moment. I am in the middle of making changes to it.--


 * All right, that's fine; just figured I'd offer. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:13, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Dino, I would at least suggest that you use 6 hex color codes when improving signatures. IE6 fails to load colors with 3 hex codes. If nothing else, at least make the background and text colors with 6 (IE6 compliant). The gradients can be done with 3 since IE6 doesn't even support them. Just a thought.

 * Do you have any source for this? This is the first time I've ever heard of any such issue (and I, as do many other people, have years of experience using IE6, in which time I don't remember even one instance of this issue), and searching for it now doesn't turn up any confirmation, acknowledgement, or even mention - an MSDN article that otherwise appears to be an ideal location to document such a bug makes no mention of it, though it does mention another, far more esoteric IE6 behavior, and even Wikipedia makes no mention, though it does say that '[t]he three-digit form is described in the CSS specification, not in HTML... the three-digit form in an attribute other than "style" is not interpreted as a valid color in some browsers'.


 * On the other hand, I hardly consider it worthwhile trying to support a decade-old browser now used by far less than 5% of internet-goers, an attitude that is now largely the norm rather than the exception among web developers (not that I'm trying to claim I am one; I'm a hobbyist at best). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:06, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I don't have a source. I remember back when I was working on Burnopedia's site and we had a user still using IE6 that was complaining about colors not showing up correctly. I checked with an IE6 browser to confirm. I changed them from 3-digit to 6 and it fixed the issue. According to w3schools, IE6 is used by 1% of users and I agree it's not 'that' big of a deal. IMO, it's only 3 extra characters to add support for one more browser, so the trade-off is worth it. YMMV though. I wish I still had an IE6 browser to test on, I'd have liked to go back out find out what the issue was... if it was,  , or   that had the limitation or all 3. Rappy 08:07, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't be surprised if IE6 was one of the browsers Wikipedia was referring to in the snippet I quoted above, in which case the offender would be "bgcolor". If that is the case, it doesn't matter anyways, since that's a deprecated HTML attribute and I avoid deprecated markup like the plague.
 * Three extra characters isn't that big of a deal if you've only got 2-3 hex triplets, but when you're dealing with a dozen-plus, it adds a lot of weight. Signatures are supposed to be short; long signatures just clutter up the edit view on talk pages, and as a result, I cut markup mercilessly when editing signatures for people (as can be seen with the Wikipedia version of my signature, wherein every unnecessary character has been stripped - including attribute value quotes and closing tags). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:51, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's all fine and well but when I sign, all you see is, which is shorter than your sig. My sig is transcluded through a second page so as to not place the full code on a page. The reason the actual code is so long is because it is optimized to work with all browsers, hence the need for both the moz gradient and the webkit gradient.--


 * There are a number of reasons my sig is substituted on pages instead of transcluded, not least of all because the signature of any prolific editor is a de facto highly-used template, with all the problems and issues that entails. I also understand quite well the need for browser interoperability, and any changes I made to your sig would not remove the CSS you have in place to do that. Whiat I *would* do would be to reduce the number of spans and the amount of CSS as far as possible while still maintaining the effects; if you'd like, I can go ahead and rewrite your sig in a sandbox page of mine here (which is how I would do this regardless; as you may recall, I've had a bad experience updating another editor's live sig, though in that case not only did the editor not solicit the change, I didn't even notify them I was making it) so you can see exactly what changes would happen and test the new code for yourself in whatever browsers you'd like. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:14, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't substitute as substitution would overwhelm the page. Transclusion assures that when I update my sig as I have been doing, all previous instances of it update as well. On wiki, this is not a sever strain. My sig is how I want it to be.--

Logo
How do you upload a picture like File:Central Logo.png ?? so i can use it in monobook ? -- 17:45, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Monobook logo can be uploaded by uploading a new version of File:Wiki.png or attaching it through CSS as I did here.--

Yeh but i want to do it throught css but i need the websitw what you upload the picture to -- OA  1,000 edits on Vampire Diaries wika Yesh  18:31, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, I use Monobook. However, I cannot change your logo, you need to do it.--
