Deletion Requests

To whom it may concern:


Please delete the following:


  • Template:Switch
  • User:GHe/Stat
  • User:GHe/Stats


because I screwed up on those pages. I tried to create a {{SWITCH}} template so that the "STATUS (ie online, offline, etc.)" and the "Quote of the Day" function would work, like my page on Wikipedia. However, I've had no success. So unless someone with exceptional computer/programming knowledge can make it work, I really don't need those pages anymore. (The functions weren't really important to me in any way; I just made them for fun on Wikipedia.)


(Request Completed)


Thanks! GHe (Talk) (Timedata corrupted)

Greetings!

Welcome to the wiki! :D I went ahead and made your requested deletions - not a problem. Apologies for the templates not working. I'm still currently expanding my knowledge of templates, so unfortunately I don't think I can help at the moment. :(

Anyway, thanks for joining! As I said, we have a desperate need. :D Amina skywalker 02:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for filling in my request so quickly! I think I'll be able to find time to do some editing over this weekend. GHe (Talk) 03:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Improvement drive

Do you think we should have more than one improvement drive article at a time? If so, we might want to change the ID article template to say something like "this is part of the current improvement drive collaboration", or whatever. Or perhaps we should just stick with one at a time until we get some more users. Just a thought. Amina skywalker 23:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Either would do. I did notice that only Book 3 was in the Improvement drive link.
Now that you've mentioned the number of people, I think we're the only ones active right now. :P Maybe we should start recruiting people who edit Inheritance Trilogy from Wikipedia? GHe (Talk) 23:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
It's not a big deal, really, so I'd say having the link to both of them is fine. :)
I've mentioned the Inheriwiki to several Wikipedians, and I've nominated it for the "Featured Wikia" on Wikia. I've also provided links to it on both my Wikipedia and Wookieepedia userpages - it's just taking a while for word to get out, I guess. :S There's a new WikiProject: Inheritance Trilogy getting underway on Wikipedia. I figure we can probably find some interested people there. :) Amina skywalker 23:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Admin page

Just want to thank you for making the Administrators page! :) Amina skywalker 02:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Monthly chat

Hello, everybody! Getting straight to the point, I'd like to propose something that I've already mentioned to User:GHe: that we set up a specific chat session, attended by every Inheriwikian who can make it, at the beginning of each month. This would be a chance for us to all get on the same page as far as the entire Inherwiki project goes. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate; just a time to compare notes, goals, etc. We can address things that need attention, suggest any changes that might need to be made; that sort of thing. I'll put the idea to a vote here (we can also discuss it further). « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 17:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin

I've made you an administrator. Thanks for all your help! :) « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 20:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much! :) GHe (Talk) 20:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Blocking

In case you didn't know, Special:Listusers includes users from all of Wikia, not just this wiki, so there's not much point blocking them if they've never actually edited here. Special:Activeusers is a more useful page to look at since it shows only the people who have edited this Inheritance wiki. Angela (talk) 08:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

FYI

You can set up a sitenotice at MediaWiki:Sitenotice to alert all users about the upcoming chat. If you wish only logged in users to see it, you can then set a non-dash non-blank MediaWiki:Anonnotice to hide it from anonymous (non-logged-in) users. --Splarka (talk) 22:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Site notice

Is there any way we can rearrange the Site notice so that it doesn't interfere with the spoiler warning and FA stars? Or we could change those; that might be a better idea. What do you think? « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 17:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit: I think I've got it so that the Site notice can still be centered without messing up the other templates. (IMHO, I think it looks better centered than left-aligned :D). « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 18:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks good. But does it need to be changed if the site message changes? GHe (Talk) 18:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe. :S Perhaps we could define a certain width for the div layer? « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 18:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
We should probably do that so that long messages don't get covered if there's a shortcut box. Also, we should limit the length too, because if it's too long, it'll interfere with FA/spoilers. GHe (Talk) 18:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat

Hey, GHe! Just letting you know that I went ahead and made you a bureaucrat. :D I haven't had the time recently to work on Inheriwiki as much as I'd like, plus you have a much better grasp of the technical side of things than I do. ;) Thanks for all your work on the forum, the IRC channel, and the MediaWiki files! « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 03:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I'm greatly honoured. :D GHe (Talk) 16:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi this is User:Jaina Solo and it appears that the editcount doesn't work for internet explorers. Jaina SoloGoddess StuffFile:Jaina 19 (2).jpg 23:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Forum

Could you take a look at Forum:Ballot box? Somehow I messed it up and it's not automatically adding the forum header when you create a new topic. It's probably some really, really obvious thing I missed on account of not having enough sleep... :P « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 02:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Spotlight

I'm on it - let me know if you don't see it in the next few days (try hitting shifr-refresh on your browser if it's not there). I'd be curious what results you see after a few weeks :-) Gil (talk) 05:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. :) GHe (Talk) 20:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
It's running now in rotation. 33% of the text ads up top will have a link to the Inheritance wiki. I'd love to hear from you in a few days on whether you see newbies :-) Gil (talk) 05:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

editor help

I've been trying to do a Template:Infobox Military Conflict, but it won't show up, could you do what you can to fix it? Therequiembellishere 05:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The template has not yet been made. I will try my best to look into it sometime later today. :) GHe (Talk) 16:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
The template is now finished. :) GHe (Talk) 20:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Therequiembellishere 02:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. :) GHe (Talk) 02:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh, yeah sorry, it's a habit I have. I do it on all my assignments and on the original wikpedia's pages, and I'm always reprimanded. Therequiembellishere 02:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

writing style

Shouldn't we use Standard English spellings, as The Inheritance Trilogy is not exclusively sold in countries that use American English? Therequiembellishere 04:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I prefer to use the British/Canadian spelling, but since the books were written/created in the U.S., it would probably be better to use the American spellings. (Also see this discussion.) GHe (Talk) 04:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm a bit of an anglophile too. I'll try to use American spellings, but no promises. Therequiembellishere 04:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

userboxes

I have no idea how to.Therequiembellishere 04:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm. Perhaps try using the basic coding of other userboxes and change the wording and/or picture? GHe (Talk) 04:52, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

NEW MEMBER

Hie all! I'm new and my name is Rhulain. That's from Redwall by Brian Jacques. Has any one read his books. I'm a great fan of his. To get to the pointI got a question which I can't answer. I guess it wouldn't be a question if i could! Well anyway, is Alagaesia an Island in a big blue sea or what? And is there another great continent where humans came from near it or is there supposed to be a lot of small Islands like in Narnia? Thanks

Rhulain.216.224.121.141 11:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... Well, I believe that Alagaësia is a large "island" (more like a continent) in the vast sea, but there should also be other land elsewhere that's not depicted in details. And for the second question, I'm not sure either. :S I suppose it's possible that humans came from a large continent or from many small islands. (Also see the Human article.) GHe (Talk) 16:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


Thanks, I checked the human article and it's very interesting. I didn't know it was there. Another question, we understand that Elves, Dragons and Urgals had lived in Alagaesia together for a fairly long time. Why didn't things come to a head before the humans and dwarves arrived. Did they some how help in starting the war between the Dragons and Elves? And did they just stand by and watch it happen or what? I don't get it. Thanks again

Inheriwiki Chat

There's an upcoming chat on November 24th at ~23:00 UTC and I'm wondering if you'll be able to join us. You could either use a chat client as described on Project:IRC, or use our custom gateway at http://irc.wikia.com/inheritance (But a client would be better). We have a number of topics to cover, so hope to see you there. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. :) GHe (Talk) 02:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Do I need any specific plug-ins or stuff like that?Therequiembellishere 05:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
For the gateway, no. If you want, you can test it now. :) GHe (Talk) 05:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

If I jsut click the link that will probably appear on the CUrrent Events page, will I get to it? And is that 23:00 Eastern Time?Therequiembellishere 05:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

You can click on the link to the gateway (which appears on Nov. 16th in the calendar). And it's 23:00 UTC, so it's 6:00 PM EST. GHe (Talk) 17:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

common.js

Functionality for MediaWiki:Common.js was just added this week. We won't get it until we upgrade ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

For some reason, Wookieepedia's seem to be working... :S GHe (Talk) 04:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
They're cheating (see below). --Splarka (talk) 05:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC) 
 document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"></script>');
Well, that explains it, though I don't know why they would take the extra step. GHe (Talk) 05:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:

Hello, I'm Bandini, I hope this is the right place to reply your question:


Hello, and thank you for your uploads. Could you please provide the licensing/source of the files? Thanks.


If not, I'm very sorry, but my English is really very bad! and my capability in using a pc is not far from zero

about licensing/source of the two pictures, I am the author of the Aerosol (and of corse the one in the picture:-)) (you can ceck it at gianlucabedini@virgilio.it) so I'm the source:-) and I consider the use in inheriwiki of public domain

hope I've been useful to you...

Stub template

Was it ever decided where exactly the stub template should be located on a page (ie, under or over the categories)? ← Amina (Speak to me) 21:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I think above the [[Category:]] GHe (Talk) 21:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
And any interlanguage links would be below the [[Category:]] GHe (Talk) 21:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
OK. Thanks! ← Amina (Speak to me) 21:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Featured Wikia

Hi there GHe! How's it going? I noticed that late yesterday you had moved the Music Wikia into the featured Wikia position. I was wondering, how was this decided. Am I missing something? Thanks for the clarification! Cheers, --JamieHari 16:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi JamieHari. As you may or may not know, there was a tie between Marvel Database Project and Music at the time when the featured Wikia for December was decided (on IRC in #wikia). [1] (Actually, it was a three-way-tie with Legend of the Five Rings just a short while before that. [2]) The reason that Music was chosen was because Angela was planning to put Marvel Database Project up on Wikia messages next, so it's better to have them spread out instead of having them at the same time. If you feel that this was unfair, please note that I didn't actually make the decision; CocoaZen did. I was simply helping with the transition, so you may want to contact CocoaZen to talk about this issue if you want. I apologize that Marvel Database Project wasn't featured for December, but there's a high chance that it will be featured in the near future. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to leave me another message. :) GHe (Talk) 19:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey GHe,
Nope, that sounds fair. I apologize, but at the time when you moved it over, we had more votes than Music and LotFR combined. I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing... Indeed there was.
Thanks for clarifying!
Cheers,
--JamieHari 19:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
No problem. :) GHe (Talk) 19:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Main page without Sitenotice

Hiho :P Well, I justhave this thing at InheriwikiEs. I don't want the Sitenotice showing on the Main Page, just as Inheriwiki. Any clues on how to do it? -‎Dreyesbo- (‎talk) 02:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

What is your current language setting? GHe (Talk) 03:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Spanish :S ‎Dreyesbo- (‎talk) 03:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Do a Ctrl+F5 on the Main Page. GHe (Talk) 03:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Already done that, several times. ‎Dreyesbo- (‎talk) 03:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm... It's hidden for me :S GHe (Talk) 03:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
What browser are you using? GHe (Talk) 03:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Firefox 2.0. Do you think that clearing cookies will work? ‎Dreyesbo- (‎talk) 03:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe. But for me, all that's needed is a Ctrl+F5. Did it work before — the hiding of Sitenotice? GHe (Talk) 03:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
It works with Inheriwiki with the language set in English. Anyway, the cahce cleaning apparently worked, thanks :P ‎Dreyesbo- (‎talk) 04:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
No problem. :) GHe (Talk) 04:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

IE issues (what else is new?)

Have you taken a look at what the spoiler, FA-star, and purge templates look like in IE? It looks like IE is rendering them literally (for example, for the FA-star template, it's literally measuring 1em from the right of the page and 4.5em from the top of the page; Firefox, on the other hand, measures from inside the actual article). I'm not sure how to fix this. ← Amina (Speak to me) 18:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure either. :S Apparently, Wookieepedia is having the same problem. GHe (Talk) 22:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
