Text Field and Button: Add code to article?
Hey JSharp. Got another problem for you: How can I made a field box and button such that when I click the button it adds a new line of code to a given article? Here's an example: The highlighed text is what the button would add: http://wikia.pastey.net/85516-2zaa. The original Template is here: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Data/Weapon/All-Stripped/SB and after adding the line it's this: http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/User:Data/Weapon/All-Stripped2/SB Nicolasjager 05:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, in this case you'd need to follow the instructions here: http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Custom_edit_buttons . That should be everything you need :) -- JSharp (talk) 02:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Problem Advert
I already requested that you block the inappropriate ad with Jessica Simpson in her wet T-shirts but since it's still around, here's the URL. http://hosted.zango.com/affiliates/lp/JessicaSimpson.htm?ref=30289 -Arias Knight
 * Sorry about the trouble, it's just that we'll need a bit more information about the ad to block it successfully. Here are the instructions to get the information we'll need:

How can I report a bad advertisement --- Firefox instructions
 * 1) Right click on the ad
 * 2) If the Element Properties box appears then copy the url shown for Image Properties - Location:   It's probably a very long url so be sure to copy the whole line.
 * 3) If a flash player menu appears (which is likely for animated ads)
 * 4) *Ignore the flash menu
 * 5) *On the Firefox toolbar, click Tools=>Page Info
 * 6) *Select the Media tab from the Page Info popup
 * 7) *Look through the list of address for a very long URL, its probably the longest URL in the list
 * 8) *Copy that url
 * 9) Note the URL of the wiki where the ad was spotted and the size of the ad.
 * 10) If convenient, send a snapshot of the ad as well.
 * 11) Collect the above data into an e-mail and send it to community@wikia.com and your removal request will be evaluated. Please note that bad ad requests are evaluated on a case by case basis.

This is an example of a typical ad url: http://content.mmanager.nmcxnnet.net/atmos/f9/43/f9439va8afb77a799ga9sg83.swf?clickTag=http%3A%2F%2Fads%2Drm%2Errroorrr%2Ecom%2Fasdf%asdfiaosdASDFASDF . If you don't have firefox please let me know which browser you do have and I'll get some instructions made up for it. -- JSharp (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

All Messages
Hi. When I translate some of the messages in here on fa.wikia it only changes on that wikia. Where I can translate the messages that will show up every where?
 * And please look at this.--BlueDevil Talk 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, you can add your messages into w:c:internationalization and they'll be reviewed and copied over globally though that wiki may be being deprecated. -- JSharp (talk) 04:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

can you do that sysop can give rollback to any user they want in the Hebrew Eincyclopedia?
is it possible? 14:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortuantly no, at this time special:giverollback is limited to founders and staff only. -- JSharp (talk) 04:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Template
Hello,

I was told that you're Wikia's resident Template expert, so I'm asking for help. I'm the (less expert) Templater on Elderscrolls Wikia, but I'm having trouble with this one. It's an attempt to merge some other templates into one for more easy use. Could you take a look at it? The code should work, but when tried it, well, doesn't. Thanks in advance. - Game LordTalk 14:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi :) I've taken a look at your code and I'm going to need a bit more time to work on it. I'll let you know what I find out soon. -- JSharp (talk) 19:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Bug in the logo script in the hebrew eincyclopedia
in firefox it's work fine, but in explorer it's disappear and after few seconds appear again and it's says that there are bug in the page, can you fix it? 15:19, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * hmm, I took a look at it but IE is a little hard to debug. It should be identical to the english uncyclopedia. Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? -- JSharp (talk) 01:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

About translations
See Jack Phoenix message on Forum:Translations.

To reproduce this:


 * 1) Go to Special:Allmessages of a non-english wiki, and select one system message that:
 * 2) * Is already translated in the language of that wiki but is not modified in that wiki (the message has a red link). That means that the message is picked from the .php script of that language on the server.
 * 3) * and a translation for that message doesn't exist in w:c:messaging.
 * For example, to see if the message MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber is translated in German, go to w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber/de and check that it doesn't exist.
 * 1) Then create the message in english on messaging. For example: w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Exif-fnumber. Note: without /en because the base language for messaging is english).

A live example, in Spanish:


 * 1) On w:c:es.pokemon, w:c:es.pokemon:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup is translated to Spanish, but the system message isn't created yet.
 * 2) On w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup/es doesn't exists
 * 3) Create w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup, with the text in english.
 * 4) Now w:c:es.pokemon:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup shows the english message instead of the spanish one. That affects all languages (except english), so the default of that message in all languages of all wikis is now in english.

I picked that message because Special:Userrights isn't visible to users or sysops, and changes on that message aren't harmful.

PD: the deletion of these comments was intended? --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving me that list. The deletion of those comments wasn't intentional, and I've put them back. I'll see if I can reproduce that issue with your instructions and then I'll file a bug ticket. -- JSharp (talk) 19:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I tried to reproduce the issue but your default message wasn't changed when I created w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-editusergroup on messaging with the english text even when I was logged out. Is it possible the issue has been fixed already or that it was a temporary error? Can you point me at an existing message that should be in spanish according to default mediawiki message tables but is currently in english because of messaging? -- JSharp (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, my example didn't worked, but could you explain that?
 * Creation, move and detete:, and . Now in all languages that message are totally empty: MediaWiki:Fancycaptcha-createaccount, MediaWiki:Captcha-badlogin, MediaWiki:Captcha-create, es:MediaWiki:Fancycaptcha-createaccount, es:MediaWiki:Captcha-badlogin, es:MediaWiki:Captcha-create. And yes, I say NOW because the default message exist in ConfirmEdit.i18n.php.

And about an example that you requested: I can't explain why my avobe didn't worked. Maybe someone fixed it (except when the message is moved/deleted) or maybe it's completely random. Cheers. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 14:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I had to restore the default message of MediaWiki:Addsection because (just compare dates). And that message is easily visible on all talk pages.
 * ,
 * ,
 * ,
 * I've been looking at this for the last several days, but I'm still having trouble reproducing this. I'll keep trying, if it's still happening for you. -- JSharp (talk) 17:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Template help
On top trumps wiki i have an template for packs, but it goes to the bottom, instead of the top as on other wikis and some other pages.Heres an example.Could you please help and please post on here.Thanks.Sgtcook 20:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Responded on user talk page. -- JSharp (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it goes to the bottom, even though i type it at the top.Could you make it so it goes to the top, like on other wikis, e.g. simpsons - thanks - Sgtcook 19:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think i found the problem.It goes to where the menu is, if its there, so if its not there, it goes to the bottom.Sgtcook 19:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 Problems
Hey JSharp,(again)

Thanks for your help with the collapsible tables and stuff.I use them a lot now.

I've been having a problem ever since I started working on Custom Bionicles:That external images don't work.Instead of displaying an image from other domain/sever/website,etc.,it shows the external link (this applies to even images from other wikis).Their are only two ways to make it work,but they don't solve it:
 * Put it into a link as the shown text (like this: ).


 * Use the URL of the image on our image server (i.e:the URL of a image on our wiki).

I've tried the  tag,but the system doesn't even recognize it as a proper tag (i.e:It shows it instead of hiding it when putting it around an external image URL).

Is there anything I can put in the Common.CSS of our wiki to make the  tag work or something?Please help!

-- Seth Laugh Edits 20:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, external images for Wikia wikis are disabled due to their ability to be compromised. Was there a specific reason you wanted to use external images? -- JSharp (talk) 23:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

All Messages (Cont.)
Hi Thanks for your answer. Messages in here are all translated, but in fa.wikia are some that are not in mediawiki and not translated yet. How can I translate them globaly?--BlueDevil Talk 22:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, so the messages have been translated in mediawiki core but haven't been brought over to wikia yet? We're currently working on devising a way to make it easy for users to contribute globally with translations. If you like you could make a page of links to your translated messages so that we might copy them over to messaging.wikia. If you like to help in translating messages for all mediawiki users, not just on wikia, you might take a look at the Beta wiki project. -- JSharp (talk) 21:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Moving a wiki
Hi Justin, my name's Tom, and I'm new to Wikia. I've recently made the decision to move my wiki from another provider (Wikidot). Wikdot allow a backup/restore function, so I currently have over 600 text files (each one being a single page). Is there any way to upload these directly rather than through the interface (copy and paste x 600)?

My wiki is now at factopedia.wikia.com - glad if you could help! Soop 2 13:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

how can i make it work!? 16:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm taking a look at your front page and script. -- JSharp (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, it looks like your custom logos are loading on IE. I've removed the line of javascript from your Monobook.js that was causing the error (undefined function) and removed the conditional comments/invalid XHTML from your css. I'm also currently investigating a global bug with regard to RTL languages and have filed a defect ticket for it, so that should be fixed soon as well. -- JSharp (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Bots...
Hi JSharp,

I was wondering if you could possibly help me programme a bot.

I would like it to possibly do several things (ranked in priority order!).


 * 1) AntiVandal - we keep on getting a "boring" IP vandal
 * 2) Message Archiving
 * 3) Assessment - Like Wikipedia's one.

Hope you can help!

Thanks,

 BG 7   14:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, at the moment, I'm afraid I can't devote that much time to a comprehensive robot project. However, I'll be happy to provide you pointers along the way and help with coding from time to time if you'd like. Do you need some pointers to get you started? -- JSharp (talk) 18:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. If you can start me off that'd be great! I don't have a massive knowledge of any programming languages beyond CSS/html/JavaScript etc, but I am willing to learn!
 * Thanks,
 *  BG 7   18:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure :) A really good place to start out is at . Even though it's about creating robots for wikipedia a lot of it is very applicable to creating robots for Wikia hosted wikis too. Make sure you take a good look at the various frameworks and don't be afraid to learn a new programming language to take advantage of a good bot framework. -- JSharp (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Please remove Scientology advertisements from Liberapedia
Thank you for offering to take up the issue of Scientology advertisements on Liberapedia. These advertisements have appeared regularly on articles like the one on Scientology. They also appeared on the userpage of User:Proxima Centauri. They started appearing round about the time she had this revision. She started writing material opposing Scientology after the advertisements started on her userpage. She modified her userpage, gradually adding more material opposing Scientology. Scientology advertisements continued intermittently. She modified her userpage like this. The Scientology advertisements disappeared temporarily. Complaints about Scientology advertisements when there were none looked ridiculous so she modified her userpage  yet again. Scientology advertisements reappeared and have continued since then. It doesn’t look like the work of automatic computer software. It looks more like a human being reading and responding to what was on the userpage. Ajuk doesn’t like this either. See User:Proxima Centauri’s talk page. I note that the advertisements higher up on the page are by Scientologists. The more objective material is lower down.

More criticism of Scientology by an academic from Carnegie University. These advertisements encourage people to get manipulated and “Brainwashed” by Scientology. They are against Liberal Principles and should not be on the Liberapedia website. Barbara Shack 18:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for voicing your concern. Advertising placements on Wikia are determined in just about every case completely automatically and without input from Wikia specifically (i.e. by our advertising networks and partners). If you do see an objectionable ad, please gather the information detailed here and report it to us at community@wikia.com and we'll be happy to consider your request. -- JSharp (talk) 17:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Update June 19th 08
Ajuk and I are both concerned that ads for Scientology keep turning up on pages dealing with the subject. I’ve clicked onto the Link. To me it seems expertly done to seduce vulnerable people with appeals to the emotions. There are widespread criticisms of scientoloogy. There’s more on Operation Clambake, Alt Religion and The Ex-Cult Resource Center. These are just examples of websites with material that puts Scientology into question. I personally feel responsible in part for the content of Liberapedia because I agreed to become an administrator there. I agreed to the move and originally suggested it. Here’s what I wrote in late March about advertisements on the Liberapedia website. It’s a small ScribbleWiki intended as a backup for Liberapedia. That is still the way I personally would prefer Liberapedia to be.

I don’t need to remind you that Wikia is part of a large organisation. How will it afect Wikia and Wikipedia if there are ever complaints that someone was exploited by Scientology or some other religious cult and advertisements on Wikia contributed to this? There are even allegations of suicide. ''Accounts of Cult Suicide in Italy “On June 22 and 23, 2006 "Roger Gonnet" posted documented accounts of suicide, never heard before, of Scientology members from 1994 and 1996: [In Italian:] “'' It may be in the interest of Wikia and Wikipedia if you review your advertising policy throughout the whole of Wikia. I suggest vigilance over advertising dealing with all harmful cults, not only scientology.Barbara Shack 09:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Wiki Searchbar
I wanted to remove the coding in MediaWiki:Common.js so that the Final Fantasy Wiki searchbar will show images, and nothing else. Presently, if you click on the image it will bring you to the related article. But it's frustrating when I'm trying to use the searchbar and somehow clicked on the image instead. Some people suggested I set the focus on to the input text field so that it stays there even as the javascript loads, but I read the documentation and still couldn't understand how to do it myself. Please help :) Bluer 09:37, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting, the focus command should work but I am getting a Security violation error on the javascript which loads in the XML which specifies the image. I believe that is due to attempting to reference internal nodes in an external document. You might try using plain AJAX to bring the document text in and then parsing the image urls with a simpler method. -- JSharp (talk) 21:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey JSharp wonder if you could help us we have been using wookipedias JS in the with their preloads and with their navigational trick at the main page, currently due to Monaco 3.0 im not very concern about the navigational trick that its currently not working but the preloads im seen unable to make it work i have double check againts wookipedias JS and the differences they have from our code with theirs should not justify the issue, recently the English dofus had to move to a new URL dont know if thats where the issue started since i now rarely use the preloads for example for summary but many of my users where actively using it, think you could take a look and see what is happening? the code is located in to pages MediaWiki:Common.js MediaWiki:Functions.js and MediaWiki:Edittools

Thanks --Cizagna (Talk) 00:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well. I've visited the wiki and it doesn't look as those functionality is impared, but I do see a javascript error. Can you provide me with the exact error you're experiencing. -- JSharp (talk) 21:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well the only thing i can say its they don't work want me to put you images of how they should be working? --Cizagna (Talk) 22:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok so we have like the Erasicon trick that wookipedia, and Halopedia uses its not working, also in the MediaWiki:Edittools we had a box that appears see wookiepedias MediaWiki:Edittools you will notice that above the insert word appears a menu and a box for inserting a custom template to load, those also where working but are not --Cizagna (Talk) 03:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay :) I've made some tweaks and now it should be working for you :) Let me know if I've left something out and I'll be happy to tweak it some more. -- JSharp (talk) 19:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * YAY!!! thanks =D looks great so far. Saw that you create a full scrip for extracting the other scrip, also son the line  can be delete then?, since i want to start trimming the unnecessary code excess code. --Cizagna (Talk) 16:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well i sang victory to fast since i saw the menu boxes appearing i thought it was ok but the content inside the boxes are not loading for summaries it should be base from w:c:Dofus:Template:Stdsummaries and for the Standard preloads located in the MediaWiki:Edittools section it should load the menu from w:c:Dofus:Template:Stdpreloads think you could check it? thanks --Cizagna (Talk) 18:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Please remove "W0W Items for Sale" from WoWWiki ad rotation
The following ad keeps showing up in the WoWWiki ad rotation:
 * W0W Items for Sale
 * Mss Mts in the AH? Cme to Hre, Online Mats Site for W0W, 24/7 Help
 * w&#119;w.it&#101;&#109;stor&#101;s.co&#109;

This ad is from an item seller which violates Blizzard Entertainment's policy and risks WoWWiki's status as an official fan site. --Fandyllic 23:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I also sent an email to community@wikia.com, but that seems a dumb way to make a request. It seems like a customer service black hole. --Fandyllic 00:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for sending that e-mail, I'm currently working on going through them :) I'll forward your request onto our advertising controller. -- JSharp (talk) 17:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, this is Mattkenn3. I want to know if you can grant me Adminship/Bureaucracy on the Meerkats Wiki. There is no active administrator or bureaucrat, so I was wondering if you could grant me adminship/bureaucracy. There was one admin/bureaucrat, but she ian't active anymore. I wanted to get more members and fix the place up. The links are below.

 * Hi :) It looks like Catherine has already granted you administrator access and given the wiki to you. Did you have any other questions or concerns? If you do, please contact me and I'll be happy to help. -- JSharp (talk) 17:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

User Request
On halofanon, we have a user The evil O,malley, who has been banned. After repents, one admin H*bad unbanned him, and during his (probation) he was an excellent user. But soon after he was banned by the other admins because (apparently all the admins didn't vote on it. Most of the users want him unbanned, but the admins seem to not care. Anything you can do?--Kebath &#39;Holoree
 * Well, in this case I can't officially intercede -- since the majority of administrators wish for them to be banned I must uphold their wish. Usually just a quick note will be enough to ask them to explain. However, if their answer is not satisfactory I would encourage you to confront those administrators if you feel they are acting contrary to the communities wish. In doing so, you might want to make a forum post or some other collective action to express your discontent with their decision. Just let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. -- JSharp (talk) 00:54, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Table Problems
Would you please help me with my table? I've never made one from scratch before and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. When I try to fill it out on a page, just the first row shows up. Here's a link, and you can see what goes wrong here. Thank you! Ultimateria 16:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've made some changes to your templates :) I hope this helps. Just let me know if I've messed anything up or if you have any other questions or comments. -- JSharp (talk) 19:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Just thought thought I'd say thank you about my new admin powers on the Crash Bandicoot Wiki. Yowuza 18:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Just let me know if you need anything at all. -- JSharp (talk) 20:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

DragonBall English inactivity.
Hello, I'm a fairly new member of the wikia community but a long time fan of the Dragon/Z/GT franchises and seeing as how a new game was being released for it I figured I'd check out its wikia. Its inactive!

I admit I don't know everything and anything about DBZ, but I think it requires a new Admin to help make it active again, to update it overall and take down that tag so maybe it will get a new active base of supporters.

To put it short I'm requesting adminship of the Dragon Ball English Wikia.

If you reply, please reply on my Halofanon.wikia.com page. I'm fairly active there.

DBZ Again
Thank you for approving my request! now I had a question: The Current gaming Skin on the DBZ wikia seems a little.. well messy and make things harder to read for me on this particular wikia (home page is a prime example). I'd ask the community but well.. on the DBZ wikia there isn't really much of one!

So I was wondering on your opinion of changing the default skin to.. Well I'm looking at smoke at the moment.

SpartanSeries2 08:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the smoke-style skin would work great with your wiki. Note that all you'll need to do to use the gaming skin is remove all of the hard coded background-color styling specifiers from the templates used -- but this might be quite a bit of work. -- JSharp (talk) 17:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Still with issues of JS code at the dofus
Well i sang victory to fast since i saw the menu boxes appearing i thought it was ok but the content inside the boxes are not loading for summaries it should be base from w:c:Dofus:Template:Stdsummaries and for the Standard preloads located in the MediaWiki:Edittools section it should load the menu from w:c:Dofus:Template:Stdpreloads think you could check it? thanks --Cizagna (Talk) 12:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm bothering you again
Hi, Jsharp. I have some requests for Nonciclopedia. First, can you add my Google Analytics code to our site, or alternatively share with us the GA account that is already activated?

Second: can you activate these namespaces? I already asked Angela but she's not being answering for 2 weeks.
 * "NonNotizie:" and "Discussioni NonNotizie:"
 * "NonCitazioni:" & "Discussioni NonCitazioni:"
 * "NonDizionario:" & "Discussioni NonDizionario:"
 * "Giochi:" & "Discussioni Giochi:"

Important note: NonCitazioni: already exists as a pseudonamespace (the others have different names so they're empty). Thanks -- 17:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, I forgot one very important thing: NonNotizie: and NonCitazioni: must be flagged as content namespace, so that their pages be counted as articles. Luckily I remembered just in time. Thanks again -- 21:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Interlanguage Links
Hey. I've got a couple questions about interlanguage links (on Harry Potter Wiki in particular) if you could help me out. I understand that to add a page that has a translation you simple do language code:Article name on translated wiki. It seems we're set up to link to a bunch of language codes...but I noticed there are a few that won't work right now. According to Help:Interlanguage links it has to be turned on or something for extra languages? So...is there any particular reason not to ask to have them all turned on or...? (In particular the ones I've noticed that don't work are: no, cs, el and it. Also kind of unrelated -- on Harry Potter the Italian Harry Potter Wiki isn't listed.  Thanks for any help!  -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 18:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
