Wiki Birthday
Tomorrow is my Wiki birthday! Feel free to go back and review your presents here, I will open them when I get home from school tomorrow! ^.^ 01:19, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * D= Why are you leaving? Please don't! Tomorrow is your half birthday, and I want you to be here for the celebrations. 01:19, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * What on earth are you doing up at 5:22 am? Well, bye I have to go to school now. 10:22, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Does this mean you're coming back? And if so, what does the "no" mean? 10:00, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay! Welcome back! Anyways, what does the "no" mean?  10:02, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * -.- Oh well, I have to go to school now. See you later, alligator. 10:06, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, why do we already have a Charm log update template, but never use it? I think I'm going to add that to all the charm logs sometime... 19:09, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * =O What mistake? I meant to redirect that page. Since we now have two help templates, it would be better to have them have consistent names. Since GEPriceUpdateGuide is used quite a lot, it would be much easier to change CharmLogHelp to CharmLogUpdateGuide. Basically, now that you have "fixed" it, this and this are identical. With the redirect in there, anyone that uses still gets to the correct template...  09:49, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'd like to teach community interaction and basic formatting at the University please  16:07, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE: autorefresh checkbox
I've made a change to the site-wide script so it can be disabled. It looks like you've already made the necessary changes to your script file. Let me know if you were able to disable the default checkbox. -- 05:00, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, it needs to be a single equals sign. Also, it's always a good idea to put semicolons after every statement.

var enableAjaxRC = false; -- 05:11, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great news -- 05:19, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I posted on the IP's talk page but I couldn't find the error that he mentioned after I investigated it. -- 05:52, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Cake
It is I enjoyed eating the one 3i+1 gave me here (it's that huge multilayered one)  02:22, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is small? Well, in that case you can add on that half of a cake I gave you for your wiki birthday. Or did you eat that already? 02:26, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh, catch that hen in your backyard and fry that instead. Fried chicken is great! 02:29, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Er... alright... Just a warning, though: liquid helm is molten iron. I'm pretty sure you don't want to be eating that. 02:32, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * : O But that's cannibalism! 02:36, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's completely different things to like people and to eat them. 02:42, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I like the people that are nice. And the ones that use proper grammar and spelling. *cough* 02:44, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * <.< So I've heard. 02:47, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Do you still hate me? 21:16, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's changed between then and now? (besides your grammatical prowess) 22:26, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * But what reasons did you have to hate me back then? 23:20, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Should I try to reason with you? Or would that be a waste of time? 00:23, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * <.< Never mind then. But seriously: Why do you hate me? 00:26, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * They were never deleted. They're still here. Any other reasons? 00:52, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it violated policy, so it had to go. Have you seen this by any chance?

Hey there, I would like to also be a teacher at the University of Lumbridge.Red Dog31 21:15, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

RE: javascript
Hi. I can't vouch for any particular textbooks because JavaScript was not my first programming language, but I can give some online resources that I've found to be very useful:
 * W3Schools - They have a JS tutorial along with a handy reference guide. Also there is the Try It! feature which is handy because it lets you quickly change/preview the tutorial code.
 * JavaScript Pages at Mozilla - Also has a nice introduction to JS and guide, just be careful since some things may only work/apply to FireFox.
 * JavaScript Code Conventions - Develop a habit early on of conforming to some strict style conventions for how you write your code. You don't necessarily have to follow all these conventions (although I highly recommend doing so) but having some set of personal guidelines keeps things consistent and will help reduce the amount of debugging you have to do.

Once you've gone through tutorials and know basic programming then these will be useful for making powerful scripts and also making sure that things work for a range of users. If you are interested in developing Wikia scripts:
 * QuirksMode - Contains tables that compare CSS/JS capabilities between browsers - since it's important that things work for everyone!
 * jQuery - Documentation for jQuery, which you should look at once you have a good JavaScript foundation. jQuery is an excellent library which is available on Wikia.  There are other similar libraries like prototype, Dojo, and YUI.
 * MediaWiki Manual on JavaScript - A list of the variables defined on each mediawiki page. You may also want to check out wikibits.js which contains various useful functions specific to MediaWiki.

I hope this helps -- 05:53, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I [ made the necessary fixes] although as of this post the server cache had not updated with the new code. -- 06:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, it should be working now. -- 06:41, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, replace these lines near the end of User:Rwojy/autorefresh.js:

for (x in ajaxPages) { if (wgPageName == ajaxPages[x] && wgAction == "view") addOnloadHook(preloadAJAXRC); } with this: if (wgAction == 'view') { $(document).ready(preloadAJAXRC); } -- 17:00, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * You need the OR operator (||). This should do the trick.

if (wgAction == 'view' || wgAction == 'history') { $(document).ready(preloadAJAXRC); } -- 05:32, March 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * That requires some extra modifications. First, the checkboxes need to show up on pages with the user masthead:

Replace this line:

document.getElementsByTagName("h1")[0].innerHTML += ' Auto-refresh ';

With this:

$('h1:first,#user_masthead_head h2').append(' Auto-refresh ');

Then the refreshing code needs to be able to refresh special pages that use parameters. This is done by replacing these lines:

if (location.href.indexOf("/wiki/")) { rcURL = "http://" + location.hostname + "/wiki/" + wgPageName + location.search; } else { rcURL = "http://" + location.hostname + "/" + wgPageName + location.search; } getRCDataRO.open("GET", rcURL, true);

With this:

getRCDataRO.open("GET", document.location.href, true);

The full script is here. -- 04:21, April 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You accidentally [ removed] an extra line that was needed. -- 04:41, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem . Also, is that website still timing out? I can get to it fine from here, so maybe there is some weird DNS issue going on.  -- 04:54, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's odd since it's been working that whole time! Maybe this link works? --04:54, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

RE: fixit
[ I'll take your word on the brackets... but you missed the span ]. 10:01, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I get it. Its because parsers automatically assume a | is part of the parser, not a table, so the table isn't output. You need to use ! to get around that. Hopefully should work now. 10:19, March 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * You gave fish used a different parameter, fish1... I think using ucfirst is a more elegant solution than the switch. I changed a few things around: ceil instead of round for fish, the workaround for table centring (as align="center" doesn't work), some other stuff. 11:25, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

UOTM
Hey, Wojwoj, do you want to be a candidate for May's User of the month? I'm thinking about nominating you. 17:32, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Most likely people were too scared to run against Iiii I I I or Chicken, which is why they didn't have any competition. If I don't nom you fast, someone else may get it. But, if you want me to wait, I'll do so. 17:44, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good night then... If I'm going to nom you, I'll wait till tomorrow at least. And it's in the middle of the day... why are tired... 17:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Come on, 3i+1 and I are retired. You do the same. :D 15:14, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow. You're already joking pretty well. Today, your grammar has been impeccable, while mine has been total fail. 15:44, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, you're Wojwoj, the man with 9001 grammar levels.  15:47, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you at least want to change your signature to something? 3i+1 is pretending to be me. <.< Fortunately, he hasn't done anything stupid so far. 15:55, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've heard 16:00, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I have a higher peak edit count. And the reason your edits/day is higher is because you've actually been editing for the time your acc was registered. If you look at my contribs, you'll see zero edits from March 18-November 2009. But, I think that the active users list is based on mainspace edits, not on number of edits/day. 16:06, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can't manage 1k edits in 1 month, that's sad. 16:11, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Can I nom you now? 00:37, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking about changing my name, though most likely I won't. Any suggestions? And before you ask, Liquid helm is taken. By me. On a separate account. 02:32, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * <.< I guess you're in your durrrrrr mood right now. And I meant my RS name. 02:35, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why did we switch the pic for the wiki? The old one looked better. This one is just crappy. Huge234 02:46, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Oh thanks. Huge234 02:56, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re: lul
What? 18:57, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wojwoj! You weren't paying attention to the CVU. I had to coax Gareth in-game to check it, and in the end Whiplash saw my cc messages and came here and did it himself. Shame for having to bother a 'crat.  20:47, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Taken care of by a 'crat. I've never really seen any crats block people before, except for Karlis (though in Karlis's case, it's probably because he's a new crat) <.< 20:51, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * =O I think that means I'm going to oppose any RfB with Wojwoj in the header. 20:55, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * <.< Fine then, any RfB with Rwojy in the header. 21:24, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Besides that, by the time any RfB of yours passes, either I'll be able to unblock myself (and if you dare hit the desysop button, it'll be your last act as a crat), or I'll have the persuasion to get some other admin to unblock me. 21:26, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * NOOOOO 23:54, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't believe you protected your fruitbatlog but not your userpage. What's the logic in that? O.O 00:57, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

I bet there are a number of factors that determine whether letters get read or not and I imagine a good deal of luck as well. I'm hoping for the best, I am not going to get anywhere by not trying at all. Thanks for your input anyway :). 03:35, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

What?
You voted twice here. Quite funnily, you voted for both sides. I'd say that you should go look at it again and remove one of those votes. Since your oppose vote has convinced many users (including me), and since your support vote came later and was less strong, I urge you to remove the support vote. Cheers, 17:56, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * What else do I call it? Comments? 18:01, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried to, but then my head started to hurt. I do agree that who gets blocked really is up to the jurisdiction of the blocking administrator. But, something like that is going to be a pain in the butt. 18:03, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does skimming them count? 18:06, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Half the time, I'm quicker. 20:17, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

If you stop me, first of all Tien is going to undo your "dirty trick", and there are many others in the wings waiting to take my spot. It's what you get for calling me Liquid helm. 01:37, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Let me fix the start of the idea then.

"Years and years and years and years in the future when every possible calculator is completed..." 06:42, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was showing how it is a massive luxury, not a necessity, thus justifying the excessiveness of the features. 06:59, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Really?? I still have not got around to trying to learn how to make those calcs since parties and such keep on coming up. 07:23, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huzzah! 10:46, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I tried messing around with replace but that didn't work. display:none should work for hiding vardefines, and most other parsers ignore whitespace. If you have a specific example I could take a lookysee anyway 17:45, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Btw, if you ever do get it to work then can you tell me?? Thanks! 10:13, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
