Userpage Designs
Place your complete requests within one of the boxes below. If the boxes are full DO NOT ADD ONE. This is to keep my plate from being too full. I will remove them as they come along.
Also, for the love of Stefh be SPECIFIC.
Redesigning?
- You have to talk to Elliot Hird obviously :P (I dont think humping 10 year olds senseless is a good, or legal idea) —d4nce4m01 23:41, 30 March 2006 (EST)
(mattgcn, see my new message at http://ld.fubaria.org/wiki/User_talk:D4nce4m01)
Interwiki
- With MediaWiki, you can only manually add them with SQL. I think it’ll be something like
INSERT INTO interwiki VALUES ('wikipedia', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1', 0, 0);, but check the docs. I think there are some things related to that included in the /maintenance directory. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Wed, 24 May 2006 16:38:14 -0400) - Like the maintenance directory where? Wikipedia? —Mattgcn 16:46, 24 May 2006 (EDT)
- In a MediaWiki installation. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Wed, 24 May 2006 16:49:59 -0400)
STOP!
- I like doing mass edits too, but I figured out how to change the infobox to put them in the Chords category automatically if they have chords. —Bran
- But I’m putting the Chord pages themselves in the category.
me thum dun fall off
MediaWiki can automatically produce thumbnails, sily. Please to be consulting [1]. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Mon, 26 Mar 2007 09:20:58 -0400)
- I’m only referring to them as thumbnails because Neil named them as such. I upload these as they come along, I’m just categorising them now.
- Oh, okay… I thought you were just uploading resized versions of existing pictures.
NOOOO
Sorry, Matt. The Bodhi redlinks stay. BeatlesLover / visit NOW! 20:32, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
Templates????
Just to let you know, you can put templates in your user namespace (which you should). ‘Template’ is the default namespace when you use {{…}} transclusion tags, but you can explicitly put any namespace (e.g. {{User:Mattgcn/Signature}}). So yeah, keep personal-use templates out of the global template namespace. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:33:56 -0400)
Spoilsport
Oh come on, why did you revert the home page before the day was over?
It’s not like Wikipedia where april fool’s jokes might actually inconvenience someone. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:40:50 -0400) Oh okay. Silly kid. —Mattgcn
Moar!
In general, don’t delete talk pages for deleted pages. If someone is looking for a page, it is good for the talk page to be there to give an idea of why it was deleted. (Besides, it’s not like it’s saving any space in the database, since it saves all revisions anyway.) — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Tue, 03 Apr 2007 13:13:08 -0400)
Also, my recommendation: when you move a page to change something like capitalization in its title, just don’t delete the redirect. That’s what redirects are for. — Æther Bunny / Talk? (Thu, 12 Apr 2007 12:02:14 -0400)
Sorry
Sorry =/ I’ll use it next time.
Usergroups
Yes, putting your name IS necessary, or everyone will get sorted into U because of the “user:” namespace. — Bran 21:02, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
- That’s not how Fan music turned out… —Mattgcn
- Yes it is. O_o Look at User:MrKsoft/Exploding Jellyfish’s category tag. — Bran 21:05, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
Redirects
- I wasn’t thinking of them as shortcuts, more as for newbies who saw an acronym on the forum and didn’t know what it meant. I mean, if you enter TUSOUD could you really want anything other than Ultimate Showdown? Ditto for most of the others. - Talkie Toaster 09:46, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
- Meh, OK. I was just trying to make things a little easier. - Talkie Toaster 09:46, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
THIS IS THE END OF THE PAGE
- Thanks. By the way, you need a space for people to leave you a general message! —Zapetroid
Image categories
Since you’re more versed in them than I, I think you should make a page in the WikiLemon namespace explaining them. I can’t remember half of them, and it’s getting to be a hindrance (especially with images). I request WikiLemon:Categories or something similar. — Bran 23:55, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
- Sounds like a plan. I’ll do it some time. Speaking of, I’ll make myself a Jobs list. Later :P —Mattgcn
LICKDADELICKDADELICKDADE
Sure, but, he’s yet to do it, and there are no other recordings, so, until then! - Otc.
Sugar Ray?
- Dude, you totally copied me. I just got Fly the other day. >_> —Chiaro 02:35, 28 August 2007 (EDT)
Faster Last.fm tracks loading
- While last.fm takes a while to load each page, their service, audioscrobbler, is near instantaneous. I found the project page and found they serve plain .txt files of your recently played tracks. Here’s yours. It loads a hell of a lot faster than your profile, so if you want to see if a track scrobbled, try that first.—Chiaro 20:22, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
Your edits
I’m a big fan of your newer edits, but the formers were just ridiculous. BD — Bran 14:04, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
