Deletion requests
Hi, I was wondering if you could delete Category:Creatures and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for me. Ocarina so I can move the article there to match up with the rest of the games articles, unless you feel like doing that yourself.
Also, the Category links on the Main Page can be done by typing the same as you would to categorise that page but then putting a : in front, like this:
[[:Category:Zelda]]
That way you don't have to have the external link appearance, or as much code in the source. Thank you for your time. Ian Moody 07:01, 25 Jun 2005 (CDT)
Done.
Finished with the jobs you requested. ;)
- Thank you very much. :)
- I was wondering if you would think it useful to have a category of pages for deletion so any pages someone thinks should be deleted could just be placed in there, or perhaps a general messageboard where people could leave requests for mod help, or just comments or requests for help from other users. We could also perhaps create something similar to one of wikipedia's deletion templates (and by create, I mean modify the code of one of wikipedia's).
- Oh and also, if the disambiguation template is put in the disambiguation category, any pages using it will be put in the category to without putting the tag in the page. I'd make the change myself but the disambig template is locked. It probably won't make that much difference if we were to do it that way instead, but I thought I'd tell you. I may implement it with my Enemy and Boss templates. Ian Moody 03:14, 27 Jun 2005 (CDT)
Extension request
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to install the ParserFunctions extension so it could be used in templates? Thanks for your time. — Ian Moody (talk) 11:24, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
- Looks useful, so I installed it. Thanks for recommending that. It wasn't as easy installing it through my laptop, though - my normal computer up and caught fire on me and died. Should be up and running again tomorrow when the spare parts come in. (Haven't you noticed I haven't been around doing anything? That's because my compy blew up. ;) ) --Jase 12:25, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
Sorry to bother you again but I'm having trouble with using HTML table code inside if functions. [1] suggests "setting $wgUseTidy=true; in your LocalSettings.php" might fix the problem so if that were possible I would be grateful. — Ian Moody (talk) 13:44, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
- Done. Let me know if there are still problems. --Jase 15:31, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
I'm getting little errors at the top of each screen that distort the whole of the wiki's appearance, which I believe to be caused either by the extension or the variable I enabled after installing it. Are you also seeing this? If so, I would like to try disabling that variable and see if it solves the problem. --Jase 20:36, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah I'm getting them too. I've posted a help request to the MediaWiki support desk but in the meantime it's probably best to just change it back to
false. Hopefully there will be a way to fix it properly but if there isn't I think I can get the template working another way; it's just going to make the code harder to read, but that shouldn't be a major problem as it shouldn't be edited that often. — Ian Moody (talk) 04:19, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
