The Special Barnstar |
Thanks for fixing my screw-up on the Penny-farthing article. If you have any idea what causes all paragraphs to be stripped off my edits, please message me. Turbotape (talk) 13:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC) |
Classic skin and CSS
As per our discussion on IRC, I'd like your assistance in modifying my .css file so that all non-article pages have a background which is a placid shade of yellow identified as hexcode FF FF EC.
I'd also like to ensure that header text is displayed in boldface, not just larger size. DS (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
More fussing over details
The css and js you gave me to customize Vector have proven helpful, but not perfect. Here are some more parts I'd like fixed, please:
- the placid yellow background should be in every namespace except articles. Those (and the Main Page) should be white.
- bluelinks should be bright blue, not greyblue
- the relative font sizes of the various elements are wrong (for this, it might be easier to just get the relative sizes used by Classic and copy those)
- the box containing the categories should have a transparent background, not a grey one (and no border!)
- same for the box containing the language links
- the links "edit / watch / move / delete / protect / discuss / history" should be on the left sidebar, not on the top. If they must be enclosed in a box, that box should also have a transparent background with no border
- text in pulldown menus should not have serifs. (Sorry!)
Thanks. DS (talk) 18:05, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech#Classic_skin_and_CSS may benefit from your contribution. DS (talk) 21:20, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Edit link placement
Based on your post here, I'm guessing you had something to do with moving the section edit links from right to left. Where can I find additional information about this "core change"? Thanks. Levdr1lostpassword / talk 18:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
You can at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
VEKiller stopped working?
Hi, I'm using your VEKiller and it's great, but at some p6oint today the "edit | edit source" nonsense came back. I didn't do anything that might have affected it, I don't think. Just thought you might like to know. ... discospinster talk 23:38, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) discospinster, you know there is a gadget available to disable VE now, right? Preferences → Gadgets → Editing = "Disable VE (top option last I saw)" and there is a userbox too User:Technical_13/Userboxes/Anti-VE. Happy editing!!! Technical 13 (talk) 01:32, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
- OK great, thanks! ... discospinster talk 03:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
- There are users who load your userspace version and not the gadget so I have copied the update of MediaWiki:Gadget-oldeditor.js.[1] I hope you don't mind. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:37, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Some bubble tea for you!

I couldn't find a barnstar that would adequately thank those involved in making the template editor user right RFC a reality, so I created this new one. The Progressive Barnstar recognizes those courageous enough to work towards a vision for change at Wikipedia. Matma Rex, I'm not sure if you're aware, but your suggestion to create a new protection level during your IRC chat with User:Technical 13 was a main inspiration for our taking the RFC in that direction; and I believe that decision is one of the main reasons the RFC is seeing widespread support. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. I consider the RFC a success at this point, no matter what the eventual outcome. equazcion (talk) 01:03, 19 Sep 2013 (UTC) |
Convert
Thanks for your comment at Template talk:Convert where you notice the good news that migrating convert to other wikis will be much easier when the module is deployed. I'm posting here to let you know that after problems are sorted out here, I would like to assist anyone wanting to use the module at another wiki, and there are a number of funky configuration settings that can be made to aid translation. For an extreme example, check bn:User:Johnuniq/Translation—that was done three months ago so their module is somewhat out of date now. Please let me know if you plan to do anything.

- @Johnuniq: Thanks for the note. I probably won't be doing anyhting myself (not enough time :( ), but I do know we have (or used to have) some half-assed old forked versions of convert at pl.wp. Matma Rex talk 10:42, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Sobieski Vodka
Hi, thanks for catching the error. The tool used to (attempt to) convert the bare URLs was Reflinks, and it still seems to not be functioning properly. The hashes did not appear in the bot-generated preview. I'll post a notice on the toolserver.org board of the malfunction. In the meantime, the article will need a bare URL maintenance template, which I will go ahead and install. Thanks! OliverTwisted (Talk)(Stuff) 09:27, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, it seems to be an IE browser-specific error. When running Reflinks using the Chrome browser, the links which could be converted were done so properly, without any break in syntax. I went ahead and removed the bare URL maintenance template, and allowed the tool to complete the conversion. If you are still seeing hashes, please let me know. --OliverTwisted (Talk)(Stuff) 09:33, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
