MWUHAHAHA!
I have archived your talk page, as it was 45KB long. You know, it took less than a month between your last archiving and this one, meaning you are getting quite a few messages....Also, I have spam'd your newly archived talk page. This has been a Sir Scizor1 Archiving/Spam test. -- 19:01, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Grats on getting sysopped.

Stupid image thing
I'll just go with the username thing. 21:21, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

By the way, does work. On other wikis, at least. See w:c:funorb:Dungeon Assault. By the way, could you give me a good guide on how to run a bot (to edit the templates on request automatically)? 16:19, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm... How complicated things get. I'll need to be able to keep the image links and hover text intact. I'll also need separate scripts for the systems. Do you think there's a way to change File:Up.png to File:Upb.png that are in Category:Wii games via a script? 18:40, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * How to do this? 12:53, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think this would work well with svgs. 16:09, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually this just wouldn't work in general. The page needs to be in Category:Wii games, otherwise it would confuse them and DSi games. 16:30, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * kthxbai  16:53, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'm having an issue with this IP, and I don't want to feed the troll 16:57, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Not entirely. He's using quite sneaky tactics now. We need a checkuser. 17:25, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Toolbox purge
Hi, I just added your Toolbox Purge script to my monaco.js file. However, it doesn't appear anywhere. I cleared my cache twice, but it doesn't help.

Could you help me? 21:23, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I use Windows XP Media Center edition, Service pack 3. My browser is Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2. 13:57, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I updated Firefox, but still it doesn't work. Very odd. 19:38, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I was just looking in the wrong place. *facepalm* 08:51, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Congrats
Rfa went well. I think that's a record for shortest time someone's been here and then been sysopped.-- 12:34, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Please ban this guy. He has been vandalizing for the past 10 minutes now, blanking pages, or replacing content with nonsense. 00:11, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Compare
Go ahead with the comparison tool. I was actually wondering when that was going to be implemented.

But, please don't pack any of the JS and CSS pages. Personally, I don't see how much lag we can reduce with the packer, and IMO, it only inconveniences other editors as the packer makes text harder to read. 10:26, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Remove a page hit on our servers? I think one of the reason the Hilite script was separated into another page was that it would be easier to manage scripts that way. See Wikipedia's MediaWiki:Common.js. They separated their scripts based on functionality, and I thought we should do the same. Instead of combining everything into one page, we should "divide" the scripts based on how they function. I think, that way, the scripts only load when required. See also Functional breakdown by size, and some of the other archived MediaWiki:Common.js talk pages.


 * For example, "scripts specific for editing" (wgAction == "edit"), "scripts for specific namespaces" (wgCanonicalNamespace == "namespace"), "scripts for specific pages" (wgPageName == "pagename"), etc. 13:42, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, we need to identify where the Hilite script will be required, and adjust common.js accordingly. (Usually, highlights are only required in diffs, logs, in the watchlist and recentchanges.) That goes for some of the other scripts as well. Some of the scripts need to be loaded only at specific circumstances.  13:53, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks.  14:06, September 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * The naming convention is okay, I guess. Does the template still supposed to be linked to your private server though? 14:18, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Annoying message.
''Item Compare is now installed on this wiki by default. Please remove compare.js from your local JavaScript file.''

This message started showing up, is it wiki wide or is it local depending on whether or not you have removed the script from your file? If it is the latter, where would I go to make sure I am up to date? I already checked Special:MyPage/monobook.js because thats the skin I am using and have removed the compare entry. Thanks. 18:40, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, checked both of those and the only lines I have are for your purge script. The server cache has been giving me a lot of trouble. Don't know why. Thanks. 21:21, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed the message is gone now, thanks. 06:32, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Color change
I just put the color change script into my monaco.css and it is great!

Now when my bro looks at the recent changes he will think: when did he become a admin?

LOLZ!

Thanks very much...

Dates
Hi, it's me again

I just removed the date script from User:Oli4burggraa/monaco.js, because of it not working for newer edits, but older dates are still 'translated'! How come? 16:59, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that, and that's why I removed the script. However, it still shows some old dates as if I'm still using the script! 19:05, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 20:43, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

High alch calculator improvements?
Ohai. There is a stirring in the depths of the Calculator page... Would it be possible for you to read over and comment on the discussion here? It would seem to be your area of expertise. 23:33, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Highlighting text Via CSS
Is there a code to highlight text via css? 11:58, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * The JS code would be good. 07:37, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would gather the JS code can support multiple words? 06:30, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * The code for my Spellchecker.js will not work, could you have a look? the code is here. thanks 11:21, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers, Quarenon. thanks for all the help. 12:45, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

My Monaco.css file clean out
I have some code that I've had collecting dust in my files for the wiki.

NOTE: Read the comments since they contain instructions, remove the instruction part of the comments when saving.

Help?
Hi. I tried to create my own User:Oli4burggraa/templates.js page so that I could edit it (I wanted it to automatically say instead of ~ ). I then went to User:Oli4burggraa/monaco.js and changed importScript('User:Quarenon/templates.js'); into importScript('User:Oli4burggraa/templates.js');. However, after I did this (and cleared my cache), it turned out the whole template toolbar didn't work anymore!

Could you please help me? 17:39, September 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * You're great. Thanks a lot! 17:58, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Recent chat
Hi there, As requested in pm; here is the thing i want to have done:

http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/Googlethedog/Blockuser.png

If you dont understand, All i want is a script that will make it possible to block a user by just pressing the block button near their name. Oh and, Can you also please make it work with any wiki and browser? If so, this will be very helpful.

Cheers,

18:40, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Oops, i didn't know that! Sorry for wasting your time. 15:04, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Java Calculators
Q, can you close that topic and put Java Calculators into action. We have some (as made by you) and we pretty much had a consensus, so please can you do that. Thanks,-- 16:24, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

I've created a very simple MediaWiki extension, RSHighScores, in which  returns   which can be processed by JavaScript or StringFunctions to get the highscores data. I could turn it into an API module if that would be preferred. Code reviews are welcome. The code should only retrieve the data if it was used on a page whenever an edit or purging to it or included content occurs. I could always try to add a cache, but I think that would be overkill and defeat the purpose. - 23:28, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikia does not have it listed as a supported extension, and I'm a bit leery about letting users include any data from the RuneScape site, due to the extra load and possible use of RuneScape content without copyright notice. The steps for an extension to be installed(I've asked before) are 1) Get a community consensus 2) Notify Wikia and have the techs review the extension 3) If Wikia approves, the extension will be installed, otherwise you are out of luck. - 16:11, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Help:Extensions, I had forgot about restricting to subdomain rather than just domain. External Data would also be good for possible future uses(maybe having the Twitter feed on the wiki?), but my extension might be an alternative if Wikia would not install it. -  16:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * The risk of abuse was brought up, so I have added a limit to RSHighscores, by default this is 1, but may be changed with the config variable $rsLimit and if that is set to 0, then unlimited calls are allowed. - 21:10, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Script not working... wait... nvm...
Hey Quarenon, I was just about to complain about the page preview script not working on the Recent Changes page, despite working everywhere else, and then it started working when I clicked on your "Leave a new message" link. I think the script was afraid of getting in trouble for not working =P. I added several of the scripts here recently and they are all now working perfectly! The timestamp converter is especially useful.
 * Wait, never mind the never mind. As soon as I said it was working again, guess what? It stopped working. I think it has something to do with the auto-update. Maybe I CAN find a use for the vandalism watch script I was working on... if I use a JS setInterval to refresh the entire page and load it through AJAX like in your calculator script, the links might still preview, and that would make vandalism watching much easier. Move the mouse over an edit, it shows you the differences. I'll work on it tomorrow.
 * Yeah that's what I was thinking. Earlier I had been working on a script that loaded the recent changes page. This script was on my local computer, but it successfully loaded the Recent Changes page and modified the code so that links instead caused Javascript to load the page via the same method. I was hoping to eventually accomplish an automatic load of the differences so I could spot vandalism more easily, but then I found your link to the popup script. Maybe using a similar method on a script on the wiki would work... I'll tell you what I come up with.

I is make a surprise
Can you guess what failure I'll come up with next? =S 16:44, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw, any news on when the calcs work on the other wikiz? 00:07, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * * Hides from all civilization while I wait* 21:00, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh and btw, how do I separate characters, i.e. input is 213 and output is 2 1 3? Can it work if I put each different character in a different place? 22:57, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Scripts and Safari
Just wanted to say, it appears your scripts don't work with the Safari browser (or I'm doing something wrong, which wouldn't surprise me) 18:04, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

It's working fine now; must have been my cache or whatever. 21:49, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Need a script
Baha kidding. I don't actually need a script. I was wondering if you could register your opinion here. I and Requiem are in a disagreement as to which version is better, so I'm asking a bunch of editors whose judgment I trust to give their opinions too. Also I need a script that can automate sarcastic script requests. 01:50, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

'Ello
Hiya, Quarenon! I was wondering if you would mind answering a few questions in an interview for the RSWP. If you accept, tell me on my talk page, and I will put the questions on a page for you to answer. Thanks for your time! -- 18:19, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 'Kay, I've got your questions right here. Though I'm sure I don't need to remind you, please remember to write neat answers, and fill out the questions entirely. Thanks again. -- 14:00, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Edit reports
Epic. Would you be able to add the ability to export the data? Or to generate the wikicode to put the table(s) onto your userpage or something? 15:33, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Message of the Week
Hey, you seem to be the only active admin on right now, so I'll ask you. Message of the Week is an orphaned article. I have been trying to work out how we could link to it, but with no success. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, 04:01, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I might go ahead and start to restructure the Login server article, you can help out too if you wish. Should it be moved to just "Log in" or something along the lines? Cheers, 04:15, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Graph
It shows an error for me. :S Is it case sensitive? If that's the case then thats why. I typed powers38 instead of Powers38. 04:07, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Very cool information, I learned a lot out my wiki editing habits. I even discovered a constant: No matter what I focus on, I will still have the same same name-space edit ratio at the end of each month(That applied even in the months I focused on main space and exchange space rather than other areas). - 00:50, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Your Hiscores
Heey, I use your hiscores application thingy (i really like it btw) But since I changes my name to Swizzl3d, it says "Error openning hiscores for ssswizmig" So somehow we have to stop it from checking Ssswizmigs scores, and instead it has to check "Swizzl3d"'s scores, How can I/you/we do so? 21:07, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

HTML
Hey Quarenon, I asked The Last Username Left some HTML/jscript questions and he told me you were Da man for the job, so here are my questions:

1 - I'm making a website with a table and I want to make a few javascript functions to add rows and columns, although, the delete column button doesn't work, It works to add some but doesn't work to remove any. Here's what it looks like (yes, I did make sure my onClick call was correct, I make mistakes there alot.

// delete table columns with index greater then 0 function deleteColumns {    var tbl = document.getElementById('table'); // table reference // set the last column index var lastCol = tbl.rows[0].length - 1; // delete cells with index greater then 0 (for each row) for (var i=0; i2; j--) tbl.rows[i].deleteCell(j); } function deleteColumn{ var tbl = document.getElementById('table'); // table reference deleteCell

I really don't know where's the problem in here, any ideas?

2 - I want for the same table, that, when I add a row, it adds different text in each cell AND still add the same number of cells as there are columns without spamming the IF method.

Here's what I have:

function insRow{ var tbl = document.getElementById('table'); // append table row var row = tbl.insertRow(tbl.rows.length); var lastRow = table.rows.length; // insert table cells to the new row for (var i=0; i<tbl.rows[0].cells.length; i++) createCell(row.insertCell(i), lastRow, 'row'); } function createCell(cell, text, style){ var div = document.createElement('div'); // create DIV element var txt = document.createTextNode(text); // create text node div.appendChild(txt);                   // append text node to the DIV div.setAttribute('class', style);       // set DIV class attribute div.setAttribute('className', style);   // set DIV class attribute for IE (?!) cell.appendChild(div);                  // append DIV to the table cell }

I was thinking of using appendChild before the createCell(row.insertCell... row and adding a minus one right next to the 'row' thing but it doesn't work, know what to do?

3 - Is there a way to createElement(""). What I mean by that, is add an input box where it's name would be different depending on it's location in the table.

BTW I stole that code from a tutorial website, so that's why it's that much commented, I'm not that much organized, if you want the website here it is: http://www.redips.net/javascript/adding-table-rows-and-columns/

Thanks In advance !!!

(BTW2: your calculators look AWESOME, good job on them)

00:59, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

More crap
First of all, 2024 years = automatically updating days. Not that it matters.

Second, your edit tool. A glitch is found: it says I made Objective. Other than that, you still are the epic of win. 01:05, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did notice.  11:01, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Awesome!
Ruud just showed me this thing that you made. I think it is awesome! I found it really interesting. I don't have any point to this message, I am just praising you for how cool it is. 05:43, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will. 07:17, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

RE:RE:HTML
Well, for number 1, thanks, it works now! I copied it with the exact same code and it didn't work, so I tried removing it and when I put it back it worked. Oh, nvm, I think the problem was I forgot the parentheses when I called the function... silly me.

As for number 3, I think I understand What to do know, thanks, I just do a set attribute thingy that I didn't know about (I suck at JScript)

For number two, sorry if I wasn't crystal clear, I want to add in cell 1, the number of the row and in the rest of the cell, input boxes, like this:

The first ten row are already there, but, when I add new cells, either they all have input boxes, or either they all have numbers...

As for my motives, I'm not sure if you understood what I meant. I'm making my own website, not on wiki, at first I wasn't sure if you tought I made it on wiki so I'm just clarifying this.

You've been a huge help, Thanks.

10:56, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind
Hope you don't mind 12:56, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

How do I..
Heey, how do I change the welcome message from the default to my own messages on your Autewelcome script? 17:11, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I managed to fix my hiscores, but my personal welcome message doesnt work.. 14:28, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

I changed the "w" and refreshed the page, still won't work though :S 15:52, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oooh nevermind, it works, just needed some time to kick in. It's actually awesome I go on a new persons talkpage and type there name in and save..That's it. Well anyway, if I change the welcome at User:Ssswizmig/welcome will it automatically change on the mono_ _ _ _.jsor what ever it is? Or do I have to go to that page and refresh it? 16:50, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oh great! Thanks 17:36, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Re:HTML
Thanks alot for helping me with JScript! It's much clearer to me now what I need to do since I sucked a JScript before (wait, I still suck at JScript). Really appreciate it.

-- 20:48, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

HTML and insert Column.
Hey Quarenon, really sorry to bother you again, but I SUCK at JScript.

I'm trying to add a new column with different values in the first and other cells (same as the row thing, except now it's vertical.

EX:

I know you already gave me the code for the rows, but being suckish as I am, I can't transform it into an insertColumn function.

Here's what I have:

function insCol{ var tbl = document.getElementById('table'); // table reference var row = tbl.insertCell(tbl.rows); // open loop for each row and append cell for (var i=0; i<tbl.rows.length; i++)  { var cell = row.insertCell(i); if (i = 0) { createCell(tbl.rows[i].insertCell(tbl.rows[i].cells.length), i, 'col'); } else { var input = document.createElement('input'); input.setAttribute('type', 'text'); input.setAttribute('size', '5'); cell.appendChild(input); } } }

Thanks In advance and again, sorry to bother you.

-- 11:24, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Woops, double post.

-- 11:24, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much for helping Quarenon, you're a genius!

BTW: sorry for spamming your page with thousands of different topics, I finally understood I could just edit my same section and it would say you have new messages...

QBot Hiscore Autoupdate not working
I have the hiscore autoupdate template on my userpage. QBot had been updating my hiscores every second day as it was supposed to, but stopped after October 1st. It still seems to be updating for other players such as Newbie586, but not for me Oops! I forgot to update it on my name change. Sorry to bother you!
