The changes you did...care to explain how it works? you know, like what does what?--Seablue254 20:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not quite sure how those ones worked. But, as I'm sure you have noticed. I've found a much better way to accomplish the same thing. Here is what you type:

 

In place of object you put what you the variable that you will use. So if it is on a userbox like  , then you would put    in place of object. Don't forget the vertical line. or "pipe". In the condition you put what you want the object to equal. Here is an example of the code that would have worked for the diamond userbox. I bolded the edges for clarity.



With that code, if the field is empty it would put nothing down at all. But if there is something in the field then it would put down that sentence and whatever was in the field.

I'm putting these dividing lines in just to clarify that this is one post. Any other questions? --Mjr162006 20:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

What does the #ifeq do? --Seablue254 21:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It is the name of the function. The function is one of the parser functions from the extension we have. Putting that there tells that what followings it is a conditional statement. If you don't put that in it won't work.--Mjr162006 21:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I see. Also, what happens to the text; what would be its output? --Seablue254 21:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That wasn't worded right I'll change it. In a template, there can be those options after the name. When you want the value of the option your just the number of it with three brackets on each side. Putting the pipe in will make sure your talking about the option and not the value. If you don't put in the pipe, it could still work, but it is better to be safe than sorry. MediaWiki says to put the pipe in. It doesn't have to be an option either. It can be one of those variable functions on the editing help page. But you don't use a pipe when you use a function. The best example of this is the Day template I made. That is what changes those pictures on my userpage everday and the quotes in the blueish userbox of mine. It is also what makes those Feature Content templates I made work. So don't mess with the day template. You can look at it though. Any more questions. If so then I might give my fingers a rest. Seriously! I think I have typed over ten-thousand characters all together here, at Deviant Art(asking the image creator something), and at Zeldapedia (discussions with the admins over there) since I woke up this morning. --Mjr162006 21:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * May I have an example, Mr. Matt? --Seablue254 21:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure, just give me a few minutes. I'll type a nice one up.--Mjr162006 21:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

OK --Seablue254 22:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's one.
 * When the current hour (UTC) is 22, like now, this will say the number of current articles. Anyother time it will day the number of current edits. So check back when the hour changes and it will change. This the most complex conditional statement I can make without nesting another statement within it.--Mjr162006 22:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I see. However, whats the |22| for? --Seablue254 22:13, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

That is your condition, or what you want to equal for it to show. If isn't 22 then it will show  .--Mjr162006 22:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Got it. nao to stop this troll. I'm trying to get EA's attention as we speak. --Seablue254 22:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seems that out of the 3 bureaucrats i could find, non will ban him. EA and Yami are unresponsive and Scott refuses to ban him for doing it once, even with the possibilty to ban him for 3 days. --Seablue254 22:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ando blocked one today for doing it once. That one wasn't nearly as bad as this one. We'll just have to wait for Ando. Don't edit this for a few minutes. It's archive time!--Mjr162006 22:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
