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)

 * Sadface Gareth finds it amusing, you know <.<  02:39, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * This was planned? 11:31, March 28, 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?

00:58, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Huh. Odd. 01:15, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)
