Template parameter
I wanted to say thank you for creating the template parameter gadget. I stumbled across it today, and I can tell it is going to be very useful. Also, I have created a documentation page for the template in your userspace [1] by copying your post from the Village Pump. Thank you! ~Adjwilley (talk) 21:11, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
Signature
Shalom,
I've seen you around the village pump and was just wondering if you'd mind adding a Latin-alphabet component to your signature as a courtesy to those of us who can't read Hebrew? There's a suggestion at WP:SIG#Non-Latin.

- sure, no problem. i usually do not touch my sig in different wikis, and it's the same everywhere (i have > 0 contribution counter in some 17 wikis, though many of them are just for single-digit edits - see Special:CentralAuth/קיפודנחש).

- ahmmm... believe it or not, but when i learned the language there was no internet (literally - it took them quite a few years after this event to even _begin_ developing ARPANET, not to mention the World Wide Web...). you guessed correctly - the language is Hebrew, but i am not familiar with good sites that teach it. i am sure there are such sites, though. if you are serious about it and willing to invest some money, i heard good things about Rosetta Stone (not specifically the Hebrew version - as mentioned, i have no use for it). If all you are interested in is just the alphabet, you should probably start by reading Hebrew alphabet, and continue from there. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 15:09, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you! It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to learn. In the meantime, I've developed User:Technical_13/Scripts/CommonHebrewUserNames.js so that I can clearly tell your posts apart. I'd like to develop that script to be able to "translate" if you will any Hebrew name into English/Latin. Would you be interested in helping with that?

Rollback
Following the discussion at WP:VPT I've just given you the rollback permission. I would suggest caution in using it for anything other than testing but you seem trustworthy enough to read the documentation before using it for anything else. If you do not want the permission just let me know and I'll remove it again. Dpmuk (talk) 05:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- so i created User:קיפודנחש/apiRollback.js.
- here is how it works: it changes the behavior of the "rollback" link in:
- recent changes
- watchlist
- history view
- diff view
- i do not know of any other place where "rollback" links exist, but if there is such a place, we prolly want to add it too.
- the new behavior is so:
- when pressing "rollback", instead of being transferred to the diff page once the rollback is successful, you stay on the same page, and a little message appears telling you the rollback was successful, and the "rollback" link itself disappears.
- if you hold the <Alt> key while pressing "rollback", you are prompted to provide a summary. if you press "cancel" or just leave the summary line empty, no rollback will occur. otherwise, the summary you entered will show on the rollback instead of the default one.
- if you add to Special:Mypage/common.js the following line
window.watchOnRollback = 1;
- let me know what you think.

Lua chess diagrams and graphs
I notice your chess diagram script requires CSS lines. Is this a general problem in Lua we should tell people about? I was fooling around with a "plotter" routine for generally making graphs from numbers at [2] but I was having trouble trying to figure out absolute and relative positioning code that would actually insert a working graph. Is this just me being clueless (very possible) or is that too something that would require common.css to be changed? If so we should point out this general problem. Wnt (talk) 03:03, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- i just took the easy rout, i guess. it is possible to inject the "absolute" and "relative" into the styles directly instead of using CSS, so this is not necessarily a limitation of the system. in many cases (like the chess example) 2 simple lines in the CSS can save countless repetitions of
style="position:absolute"
andstyle="position:relative;"
statements, but it's not really necessary to use CSS. - in any event, it should not be impossible to add a line or two into common.css if it makes life easier for a popular enough template. just look in Mediawiki:common.css - it's full of stuff that's specific to specific templates.
- peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 06:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! I RTFMd and started Template:Plotter. I hope eventually it is something useful, though admittedly there's a way to go... Wnt (talk) 07:57, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Lua requests
Hi קיפודנחש, I noticed you worked on a Lua script at Module:Chess from fen. I just created a request page for Lua scripts at Wikipedia:Lua requests and it'd be great if you could watchlist it to assist anyone who needs help with Lua scripts. Thanks! Dcoetzee 23:30, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- sure thing. thanks.
- if you are active in this area, i think it might be a good idea to create some kind of "Lua workshop" also, where people active in writing lua modules will be able to ask question, share "best practices" knowledge, and maybe even do some shared development (this is possible with Lua, because you can use one module from another module).
- for instance, i just learned that lua can be snadboxed using the "Template sandbox" infrastructure - i learned it from a comment-in-passing made by User:Anomie in WP:VPT, but it's really not documented anywhere, ttbomk.
- so if there was this "Lua workshop", this kind of knowledge could be accumulated, and new developers would have some resource to learn and get assistence.
- if ever such a "Workshop" is established, i would love to be notified, just like you notified me about the requests page.
- peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
- Those are some interesting thoughts. For now some tips are gathered at Wikipedia:Lua and Help:Lua debugging, and of course some docs are on the extension's website, but this could definitely use more organisation. Thanks for the suggestions. :-) Dcoetzee 23:47, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

what is in the tleft/tright class?
I thought that replacing a class with a style is simple: you just look it up in the CSS sheet and copy the contents. I found that any attempt to put my imagemap in the pie chart wasn't getting it processed, so I started doing this - but replacing class="tleft" with the margin: statement it appears to contain led to a complete change in output where the graph no longer floats. There's a hint in that a comment by these classes says "@noflip", but I don't see how/where that affects it. Can you explain?
Diff [3]. "Thumb" is either "right" or "left". Wnt (talk) 14:41, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- hi. i saw some of your experiments and was going to contact you earlier, but other urgent things kept me... what i am writing here is not 100% authoritative, but i *am* 87.37% sure it is true: the way the parser works, tags are processed *before* templates, and hence, before "#invoke:"s also.
- so if you want to squirt out an imagemap from a module, you have to use the magicword {{#tag:imagemap. let me know if you need more information about how to do so. as to tleft and tright: they are defined in the vector skin (maybe in other skins also) in the main package. it's not very interesting, but i can dig it up if you want. use "debug=true" and search the resources (chrome). peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 16:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the function returns through frame.preprocess, and more to the point -- I get a link (in the wrong place) if I put the imagemap after the last div tag, just not if I put it after the second to last. I also get the link if I change the class="tleft" to a style I think is synonymous, but I also lose the ability of the chart to float. My first priority here is to understand what miscellaneous magic occurs in that class="tleft" and how to replicate it in a style I've defined from scratch - until then I'm just playing with a black box with no idea what effect anything will have. Wnt (talk) 17:51, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- regarding @noflip: the CSS that comes from bits.wimimedia.org is run through preprocessor that changes right to left and vice verse for RTL wikis. @noflip tells the preprocessor to leave this specific CSS alone. i believe yo can find it here: [4] and [5] (two separate parts of tleft are defined in those two files). i do not know anything about this preprocess thing - you might be 100% correct, but i still think the right way to do it is via #tag:. also, please note that if you use imagemap, i don't think you should include the Circle image directly: do it as the "File" parameter to imagemap. the reason is layering: when something is layered on top of something else, it captures the events (such as mouse events) and does not let it sip down. since the transparent circle image must be on top of the divs (otherwise it does not do its job), the simplest thing is to wrap it with the imagemap tag, instead of using a different image for the imagemap. also please note that the imagepap is "normalized", i.e., the coordinates are calculated based on the original image size, regardless of the magnification/reduction it's actually displayed. i do see that you tried to place the imagemap on top of everything, but i think you used attribute "z-value", which as far as i know is a mistake: the name of this attribute should be "z-index". again, i believe the best thing you can do is place the imagemap around the image of the circle, instead of adding yet-another-transparent-image on top of everything.
- peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- Eventually I found the thing - there are actually three rel="stylesheet" links in the source, only one of which has a "css" in it. The first one contains a tleft class, and applies styles to it also. It isn't actually what was at fault though - I was looking in the wrong place because there was a div buried at the very center of "output". The hack I picked in the end involves doing a find-and-replace to force the image right where I want it at the center of the output, immediately after the circle image. I could go back and try to fuse with circle, but for now I'm happy it works! Now, if only I understood where "noresize" class is defined, I'd be satisfied... :) Wnt (talk) 15:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

- very nice, and congrats for cracking it at last!
- i still think you are doing one thing wrong: creating a raw tag (using "<" and ">") and then forcing parsing of the output by calling frame.preprocess is not the civilized way to do things.
- IMO, the correct way is to be polite and return a simple string that contains everything you built, and use the #tag: magic word in the output to induce further parsing of tags (it might also be the more efficient way, which would make wikid77 happy, though i don't think speed should be real consideration here).

- regarding tleft and tright: you want to use chrome, add debug=1 to the address line, and in "developer tools" you want to go to the "resource" tab, and hit ^ Ctrl+F, and type either "tleft", "tright". the "debug=1" tells the server not to squash/minify the JS and CSS sources, and not to consolidate many pages to a single page. it also lets you see the comments and such in those pages - sometimes you can get useful hints why something happens. as to "noresize": normally "noresize" is not a class, but rather a html attribute. specifically, the imagemap extension squirt a div with "noresize" class (you can find it on line 283 of "imageMap_body.php in latest snapshot on mw:Extension:Imagemap), but this class has no css attributes. it may be there so wikis can define css attributes for it, or so JS script will be able to find these divs on the page. it has no effect (you can try it by running in the browser console a single JS line that will remove this class from all elements, e.g.
$('.noresize').removeClass('noresize');
. nothing in the page display will change after running this line. - BTW: you are invited to see and comment on how i create the legends in Module:Chart - you might want to adopt this way also, or you may not want to do so. unlike you, i do not create DIVs, but rather a ul element containing li elements. this allows me to use the "column-width" attribute to display the legends in multiple columns. i think it's better. maybe i should create a sample with large number of legends in the doc page to see how it works.
- peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well, to be honest, I never really understood the #tag magic word - I remember seeing it come out a year or two ago but with no examples of when you'd use it. I could be wrong, but I think that when I didn't frame.preprocess the templates in the output never got expanded? I don't know where to find a manual on this stuff and everything is just based on whatever I saw/whatever worked last time. I meant to rewrite the part with the legend templates at some point, but haven't gotten around to it. (They depend on something with "safesubst", which I don't understand what the point of that is either). Your idea with ul's and li's may indeed be good - I'll have to look it over carefully. The divs I used in this function were copied directly from the original template.
- Thanks for the suggestion about Google Chrome ... the problem is, last time I had Google software (Google Earth) on the computer, it was creating slowdowns and annoyances with its mandatory hourly updater, and it didn't uninstall properly, won't reinstall without an error either, and it took all kinds of deleting and disabling to get it to quit throwing hourly error messages. I am very reluctant to let that plague back on my system. Wnt (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- regarding #tag: it's explained, e.g., here: mw:Help:Magic words. it's by no means a new thing - defintely way before 1.15. this is what you're supposed to use when you want to generate an extension tag inside a template. i believe "module" here should be considered to be "same as template" for this.
- regarding chrome: the important part is not necessarily chrome itself, but rather the "debug=1" on the address line (you can just as well use "debug=true"). if you use FF with firebug extension, you can get it at the "CSS" tab on firebug (F12). if you use FF with "Web developer" extension, you can get it through the "View CSS" menu item of web developer. if you use vanilla FF or if you use IE, then i do not know how to find stuff in the CSS, but it's probably also doable the reason i said "chrome" is because a) i'm used to it, and many web developers use it because of the fantastic JS debugger, and b) because it does not require any extension for web development - it's all inbuilt. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 21:27, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposal: mark default gadget as "default"
At WP:VPT, you mentioned that the method we use at Commons is rather optimal. While I agree that it isn't good practice to maintain the state at 2 locations, how could we improve this? Wouldn't this require a MediaWiki bug request and a change in the MediaWiki software which usually takes ages? It is already an improvement not having to update each translation if the state changes. But if you could show a way (perhaps a LUA module parsing MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition), this would be great. -- Rillke (talk) 15:42, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
- thanks. i forgot that patrolling is active on enwiki (for new pages only). because it's a piece of code, i took the word "review" as in "code review", which was, of course, a silly mistake. thanks.

pgn template
Hi, I am impressed with pgn template at the Hebrew wikipedia, which I saw used in the World Championship 2013 article. Could this gadget be adapted for use in the English wikipedia? MaxBrowne (talk) 00:50, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- ok I found the subproject page, village pump discussion, demo page at the Hebrew wikipedia etc. Sorry I haven't kept up with developments. MaxBrowne (talk) 02:12, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
the "project page" linked above is not very serious, i think - it was an attempt by a clueless editor to push something forward, despite the fact that this editor does not know (almost) anything about chess, nor about javascript. this "project page" only real value is the links to past discussions.- (strike that - i was confused with a different attempt made by a different user. this "project page" is just fine).
-
- as to the pgn script and template: the template is a very simple and straightforward package that allows the script to work by wrapping the pgn with some DIVs with specific calsses, so the script knows which pieces of text should be analyzed as pgn. it support some features ot demonstrated anywhere on hewiki (specifically, it supports the FEN= attribute, which allows displaying games from the middle (not very interesting), but also allows displaying games in chess960 (hope i got the name right). i think the script itself is language-independent - the only little perversion is some "easter egg" that cause it, if the user running it has some special line in her common.js, to add two new buttons. pressing these button cause the script to squirt out a {{Chess diagram}} template specific to hewiki (on of the buttons cause it to do so for the current state of the game, and the other will generate one template for each of the plys (i think that what you call a "half move", i.e., a single player move). let me know if you need something else. i will be very happy to see this script being used on enwiki, but i do not think it makes sense as a gadget, or user script - it only makes sense, IMO, if it's added globally. it's very easy to add it in a way that will only load the script on pages which contains the template, though, admittedly, we did not bother in hewiki and just added it unconditionally. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 21:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Possible css help?
Hey קיפודנחש. Given how facile you appear with css coding from that recent discussion at VPT, I was wondering if you might know a fix for something. Quite a while back they moved the insert symbols field/dialogue above the save page/preview/show changes buttons. It used to be below it (like this). Is there a hack to move it back below the buttons? Also, is there a way to hide the text "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably..." Basically, I am trying to make it so that when I open the edit screen on my browser, I can edit and see the save page button in one view, without ever having to scroll down all the time to get to the save page button, which is extra work. Thanks much in advance. Please feel free to tell me it's too much work to find/figure out a hack, even if you could.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- you can do something, but it's not css - it's js, so it goes in your Special:MyPage/common.js (and not in the css):

- Thanks much! I was playing around with it and changing .editButtons to .editOptions makes it perfect, so the symbols are completely below both the edit summary and save page buttons (I know just enough to inspect elements and see what labels you used, though I could never put it together myself). Thanks again--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:20, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- of course - this was just dumb of me. i didn't even look at the summary... (in my defense i can say that many editors do not bother to write summaries for their edits, but this is just a bad habit...). if you want to get fancy, you could do:

$(function() { $('#wpTextbox1') .after($('input.mw-summary')) .after($('.editButtons').css({margin: '8px 0'})) } );
which puts the most useful stuff immediately under the textarea, and leaves everything else below (now i think it's useful enough that i'll use it myself - thanks for the idea). peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 16:41, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

- Aha! that allowed me take it one step further. For me this is the absolute ideal (it gives access to the minor edit button):
$(function() { $('#wpTextbox1') .after($('input.mw-summary')) .after($('.editButtons')) .after($('.editCheckboxes').css({margin: '8px 0'})) } );
I can't even imagine anyone preferring the current setup over it. Much obliged for the help.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Interactive Chessboard
Please see The DJ's comment on the script, as it very well surmises one of the key points that I wanted from the script.
Will this be possible?

F8
Sorry, busy with other articles (as you saw). As to the F8 and Noyce, this book from MIT seems pretty direct. However, they may have copied it from the Wiki, but I'm not sure how to figure that. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
p.s. Next time perhaps mark it up and take it to the talk page? Not everyone has time to jump to every requested edit in under 24 hours! Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Maury Markowitz: thanks for the reply, and thanks for pointing to the source.
- regarding my order-of-actions: in principle you are correct, but in particular, the claim seems so improbable as to be "patently false": noyce left fairchild in 1968, at which time the technology only allowed order-of-magnitude less transistors-per-chip than even the 4004 requires (f8 has roughly double that - around 4000). moreover, the F8 was produced using a technology (namely, NMOS), which first appeared (in labs and on papers, not in products) in 1969, and first became available in products in 1970, so the claim that he started developing this chip while at fairchild just does not make sense.
- regarding the quoted source: it is clearly a gross anachronism: it says "a specialty processor created by future intel founder noyce". the F8 was announced in 74 and became available in 75, while noyce left fairchild and founded intel in 68, so a source that talks about "future intel founder" clearly does not know what he is talking about.

Chessboard templates and |reverse=true|
I did test myself with all of the documented chess templates before changing the documentation to say |reverse=true| works with odd-sized (but not alice &c) boards. Please see my sandbox for a whole bunch of test boards. If it really doesn't work for you could you show how you tested, please? Zack (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- kind of funny, really, since it was i who introduced the "reverse" parameter in the first place...
- i did it for the 8x8 configuration only. the module (Module:Chessboard, which implements the template now) was changed significantly by other people since the last time i touched it, and when i saw your edit to the documentation, i was excited about it, and immediately tested it to see how it looks with boards other than 8x8.
- i do not know what happened - possibly i misspelled the parameter or something, because it did not work for me. i guess i should have tested more thoroughly, instead of rushing to reverse your edit. sorry about it. peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
