House room2 template
Hi Skill, you seem to have been making some good contributions.

When I created the "House room" template, I was thinking about how people use it in the house (place it then rotate it). However, I think your way of specifying doors is easier for users.

I think we might be able to drop the use of the "House room" method of doing it in the long run and move to your method. I also think it can be done without needing to call the House room template itself. I will try out my idea on removing the dependance on "House room" in my Sandbox in about an hours time.

Eventually we might be able to remove the old "House room" (and "House roomshape") templates in preference to the modified "House room2" template. This leads me to question the naming of "House room2", because if we eventually remove "House room", it might seem odd. Can we move "House room2" to "POH room"?

If you don't mind, I'll move it when I make the changes to remove the dependance on "House room". I'll of course also move the "House room2/doc", but this will eventually need updating to remove references to "House room" as "POH room" will become the recommended template.

If I'm correct, we won't need the "House room2/param" and "House room2/param2", but instead I will need to create a single "POH room/doors" (which will be based on "House room2/param").

Anyway, let me know what you think. Particularly with regards to the template name change. 10:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, the move will leave a redirect from House room2 to POH room, athough it probably won't need to be there for long as not too many people are currently using the House room2 template. The House room template takes different parameters, so can't be redirected. However, we can replace the links to the House room in the main articles, and I'll offer to users who currently use the House room to change their pages for them if they want.


 * As for the param sub-templates, the reason they were going to go back to one template was because I was going to have a switch statement (like the ones you currently have) that map to a "canonical" numeric form of the door (e.g. "news" = 1111, "we" = 0110, etc). Within the main template, it's then possible to use simple expressions to test if a given door is present or not. 10:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The new POH template is now there and working. The filler room took a bit of work to avoid lots of horrible escaping of "|" (using the template | ) because initially I had a table within a #if. But I got it sorted now. I'll change your House page to directly call the POH room template, then I can get rid of the House room2 redirect. I'll also update the main POH article pages to use the new template. 14:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you tried changing the room names to capitalisd first letters in the template. This won't have worked because I used the to lowercase the room name so people can use whatever case of letters they want in the room name. =D 08:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it's already covered by Category:Zamorakian Followers. No offense, but the last thing we need is another confusing article. Chaoticar 10:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Happy birthday Skill! . Here, have a cake! 12:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

VFD
I totally agree with your "getting rid of usless pages" idea. I think there are way too many pages for stupid things like "buddies" or w8 Atlandy 14:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Infobox VFDs
Thanks for fixing that up, I'm usually not that involved with VFDs and I was wondering how the result got there when I archived it, lol. 22:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Armour
Range armours do provide a large amount of magic defence. But, they still provide more melee defence than magic defence. Even look at the stats of dragon hide and leather armours yourself. Rune445566 23:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * How do I change the size of the pictures or the text? Like I've seen people's sigs that say ##px or something...

Yay, someone else is on at this moment (assuming you haven't left already)! I'm so bored... I need someone to talk to... Wanna' talk? Perhaps on the IRC? 06:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually that's exactly how Mod Marvin explained it when he replied my query. He basically just said that nobody really does it, and they aren't going to bother much with something that isn't too big of an issue, and since it isn't actually software it's alright. I personally don't think it should be allowed, but I'm not going to argue with them.

He did say, however, that if its usage becomes widespread then they'll modify the rules to include it with the software. 06:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Nominated for sysop
I've nominated you for adminship. Your RfA awaits your signature. 04:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

'Gratz on the nomination! :) 06:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:VfD
I understand that, however the result was keep by default, since we couldn't come to a consensus. And err.... why did you put Dtm's sig there? That's called forging (jk), it's illegal. 18:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Phailure
Just to let you know your RFA has phailed!

If you had actually succeeded, you'd be able to do the following:


 * Edit and move fully protected pages.
 * Protect and unprotect pages.
 * Delete pages, including images, and their history.
 * View and restore deleted pages, including images, and their history.
 * Block and unblock users, IP address, and IP ranges.
 * Change the text and style of the interface by editing the pages in the MediaWiki namespace or MediaWiki:Monobook.css
 * Moderate the forums (lock, delete, ban, warn, etc)
 * View Special:Unwatchedpages
 * Flag reported pages as not a problem, fixed, awaiting, or need staff help.

Better luck next time. Dtm142 03:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
