New Script
Hey, I noticed a (maybe) bug on your new script, the one that has the ge pop out. When you move your mouse semifast and it actually hits the popup, it disappears for a quick moment. Just letting you know and I'll report any other bugs I find. 07:20, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey I was wondering if you could help me with a template I was trying to make here. I want to make it so I can use the pipe thing (|) to be able to change which one it is. Rwojy called it a 'single page multi-template' and said it may be messy and doesn't know if it's possible to do on the wiki. I don't really care if it's messy tbh. If you can provide some input and maybe just do 2 of them for me to see how that would be great! I left the name I want each thing to be called in the things.  03:23, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Omg ty dude <3 03:49, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * thankss. 1 more thing, is it possible to add things to your smiley toolbar manually, or is it too difficult? Should I just add them to the templates toolbar? 04:02, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It worked!! thanks, 1 last thing then im done with questions. Is it possible to make it a drop down? its not too important but if you don't mind then <3333 04:37, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Javascript + keyword filter = error
Hi there,

Whenever I try to edit my javascript page, it won't save because the keyword "/url" is filtered. If I remove it, will the javascript will stop working? 600613 H4XX0R Talk  20:23, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Living Rock music
I think that creating a page "Living Rock" for the music page would cause confusion. 10:13, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Template:Deu
Hi Quarenon. Would you mind adding Template:Deu to your templates dropdown script? I'm sure it'd be helpful to all anti-vandals. Please and thanks, 06:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, before I forget: you can remove test5 from the dropdown,as it's just a redirect to block. I would delete it, but it has too many links. 06:33, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Err... where is it ? I only see the ones that were there before... nothing's changed (when looking at the dropdown menu). I'm assuming I just need to wait a bit for it to show up ? 06:38, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, purging it twice (once before you messaged me, once after) didn't do anything, but terminating Firefox did . Wonder why. Thanks again  06:45, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ooh yeah, while I'm here, I'm a bit stuck with some of the code I need for my new userpage. I've started it out here, and I'm all the way down to "RuneScape" section. Now, in this section, I'd like to have the follow things to the right:


 * The table containing my quest points/music tracks unlocked
 * The table containing my official RuneScape forums chathead image (Photo Booth)
 * The table containing my official RuneScape forums body-shot image (Photo Booth)

I'd like the text to flow along nicely to the left of these things, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I've tried using numerous combinations of 's, "float:right;"'s, and others to get things in the right place, but nothing is working. Sometimes the text gets attached to the bottom table (the body-shot), and that's the best I can get. I can't get it to fill in the space left of the quest points/music tracks table. A good example of how I'd like it to look is this article, with all the small images to the right. Remember, I'm using tables to hold these images. Pls halp D: 06:57, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, that works wonderfully! Thank you so much ! 07:28, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Need some more help :/
Hey, I've been trying to add to your version of the smiley toolbar. Everything was all right, but when I clicked on the buttons this came up and. I changed the "tagid" to the photobucket link but it won't seem to change. Could you look through the script and fix what ever is wrong? 11:41, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm..they seem to work! 11:42, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

highscores
hi i was just wandering how you got your high score drop down thing thanks.

12:48, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

I was more talking about the thing in general you have all your stats on it and an auto update that looks like you don't have to do anything could you explain how to do that thanks

User:BicycleCat/monobook.css
Something else: the 'search' link refuses to align or be colored correctly. I tried, and failed miserably at making it work. I believe I know what the problem is, but not one of my changes had any effect on it at all. Fix it plox. 08:02, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: RE: Problem with the custom theme I'm using...
The code you gave me worked perfectly. The search header now matches the other headers in position and color. Now my O.C.D. isn't bothering me like it was when the header was out of line and white instead of green. Thank you very much for helping me with this problem, Quarenon! 20:45, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

I updated the Carbon Monobook theme on RuneScape:Theme...
With my updated theme that you and Rwojy had helped me fix the errors I had experienced using it. I also added a note to the "Credited to:" that states that myself, you, and Rwojy had helped to update it. I hope you won't mind me doing so, as I felt that without Rwojy's and your help, the errors would never have been fixed. Thank you again for helping me with my favorite custom Wiki theme! 06:13, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Quick Preview and Parsonsda's editing script
The code mentioned on the yew grove appears to be incompatible with the Quick Preview script. do you think you can look into a fix for it? The forum in question is "Hyper Editing!" or something, but I could not wikilink it correctly when writing this. If it helps, the script is as follows:

/*** PARSONSDA EDITING LAYOUT THINGY ***/

// install Wikipedia:User:Cacycle/wikEd in-browser text editor document.write('');

/*** END PARSONSDA LAYOUT THINGY ***/

16:38, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Random text when editing
Hey, It seems like the Proxy Connection keepalive thing only happens when I'm on Firefox. So I guess I'll just have to edit the wiki with Safari or some other browser. This problem has been happening multiple times and I'm not really sure why. Cook Me Plox 19:44, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Release date
Shouldn't it be a hidden parameter? Most of the time, the release date for stuff will be unknown. 23:29, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The main thing I don't like is having 100's or 1000's of pages with Release date: Unknown. I think it looks bad. 23:46, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Linking to all wikipedias
Do you know if you can make a script to link to wikipedias in different languages? For example, testwikipedia:Main Page would link to the Test Wikipedia? (Before you ask, I found it here) 23:57, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for welcoming me to the Wiki --MoomooYoshi 01:05, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Community Portal
I wondered if you wanted to help me with a project involving a total rewrite, relayout, revival and rejuvenation of RuneScape:Community Portal. As you may know, the community portal is kind of dead and rarely used. Its full potential has not been discovered. I looked around for some examples of good community portals and some interesting things to do to it, but this is all I found. The WOWWiki has a good one, but maybe a bit too advanced to what we need. If you don't feel like doing something like this, let me know! There is no obligations. Cheers, 06:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm glad your interested. I've been doing a bit of experimenting and have already messed around with a few ideas here. Your ideas are great, and the stub of the moment thing is what gave me this idea. I know your very good with coding, so I thought this is something that might interest you. I can help with content and some coding, you can help with all content and all coding Anyway, maybe it'd be better to talk about in-game. I'm off to bed now, though. I was thinking a Main Page-esque look, but we don't want to copy it too much, as we don't want it to be hard to distinguish between to two without looking at the actual writing. Cheers,  16:36, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

A thought I had
I was wondering if you could give me some feed back on an idea I had so if need be I could improve it. Here's the idea: the wiki uses signatures, if you yourself aren't good at coding you can request help on making one, likewise you can make a user-box for your user-page, however if you don't know how you to code you're kind of stuck in a corner. The idea is either a requested user-box page or a list of users who can make them if there isn't already. Anyways input would be appreciated before I go randomly suggesting stuff before thinking everything out. 12:58, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, thanks for that, thought there was probably a reason why it didn't exist thought I'd ask. 02:26, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was checking Votes for deletion a few minutes ago and noticed one of the things up for deletion was up due to merging being up for a long time with people not paying much attention to it, as I was wondering if the merge thing was just a one time thing or not I checked the archives to look it up, and as it wasn't I was wondering if there would be anyway to improve upon merging as if articles for merging are going to end up in votes for deletion it seems almost useless to waste the time putting it up for merge. Off the top of my head I thought a page for merging similar to votes for deletion might be useful where you could put a link for both articles up and give reason to merge similar to vfd to bring more attention to merging being an alternitive to putting it up on vfd. Wanted some feed back on if it sounds like a good idea or not. 17:48, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's acctually better than what I had suggested glad I had figured to check I'll bring it up in the yew grove, I'll add to switch the edit the merge tag to lead to the entry on Vfd as well. Thanks for the input.  18:03, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Infobox preloaders
The buttons in MediaWiki:Newarticletext is sufficient if you ask me. Besides, IPs would not be able to see the JS dropdown unless they logon/register. It is hardly used, and IS a waste of resources. The preloader script was one of the things that was installed in this wiki when the wiki was still new (probably in late 2007). Just remove the JS version altogether, and delete the redundant preloader templates which are used in the script.

Quarenon, have a look at MediaWiki:Functions.js. I noticed that there are some unnecessary scripts in there. Maybe it should be cleaned up as well. 15:05, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

FarmVille Navbar
Hi Quarenon! I'm currently active on the FarmVille Wiki, and look at that NavBar here! Can you take a look at the coding and see what's wrong? . 14:35, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Linking?
Now that's an interesting point. I thought we had a policy of being consistent with the way Jagex writes things, e.g. in-game names for items and NPCs used for article names (which is specifically covered under the style guide). If we're copying content directly from the RuneScape website (under a fair use claim), I think we have a responsibility to copy it as accurately as possible, and that means including links that Jagex put in, and not adding links of our own. I know this seems like such a small issue, but for the sake of consistency I think it would be a good move. After all, content under the Update namespace is not ours, it belongs to Jagex.

It may be that this is not specifically covered by any existing policy, in which case I think I should bring it up on the Yew Grove and let people debate the merits either way. In the meantime, I would not object if links are added or removed from Update pages as we have always done. 18:50, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Discussion is underway. Please feel free to add your input at Forum:Links in Update pages.  :-)   19:33, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Text
Hello Q, the text on my userpage hasn't shown for months (only the punctuation), would you happen to see a cause?-- 22:23, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Verify
Why doesn't the verify link work anymore? 01:58, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, how can I use your scripts on another wiki? Would I have to copy the code from each one over to it? 03:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Syntax highlighting
Are you familiar with syntax highlighting? Compare our MediaWiki:Common.js and their wikia:MediaWiki:Common.js. Wikia uses an extension called Geshi (http://qbnz.com/highlighter/) to highlight JS and CSS files.

I was wondering if we should install Geshi here as well. 18:53, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why don't you put in a request to Wikia? Or, do you want to propose this at Yew Grove first? I don't feel Yew Grove is necessary since this extension does not affect the wiki much... but I'll leave it for you to decide.  09:36, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

A way to review games on my wiki
I'm not sure how I should make a script to review games on my wiki. I want to be able to make a box, with a field to choose how much you want to rate a game, and a text box to write a review. When you click "done", a cookie will be set in your browser to prevent you from reviewing again. The text part would be put on a page where people could read it, but only admins could edit it. The rating part would be put on a list, on a page (that wouldn't be shown in the recent changes) again only edited by admins. The script would calculate the average score, and would link to the reviews. 21:16, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll deal with the admin stuff later. 22:34, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 12:10, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, feel free to use my wiki as your testing ground. 12:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your page on my wiki 22:03, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:RE: Template talk:Cleanup/preload
Oh. And can't Template:Tl be replaced with Template:T, or is there a difference? -- 22:45, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * So can Tl be deleted, since if you don't add any extra parameters, T looks the same? -- 00:32, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there some way to convert the Monobook carbon.css theme to Monaco, or does the whole thing have to be rewritten? -- 02:04, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

HTML
NOO!!! I forgot HTML!! D:. What is the tags for changing font? 11:00, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * What would I do without you? I would be HTML-less. :( 02:26, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

QBot - RSWP
Hey, Quarenon. I am unable to find the page for the QBot that you post all the messages on, nor the website you go to in order to send it. Can you link me to both of them on My Talk? Thanks, 20:00, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks f(r)om Youdead00
THANKS for making a newsletter! It's awesome! 01:50, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

PS - You can interview me if you would like. Also, I have an upcoming story for February.

Edit report no like
YOur edit report doesn't like it when a summary has a link in it. (See most common edit summarys) Telling you in case you didn't know. 04:24, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thats awesome. I noticed it used  rather than   for italics, but thats minor really. Good job  23:01, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 16:05, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm
Hey, I got a problem with my smiley bar could you look through it and fix the problem, please? Thanks. 10:38, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help (I used my new tool bar there )  16:37, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hai! -- 20:13, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Possible bug in edit report
Hi,

I just looked at my edit report and I noticed something odd. The log-actions-by-day graph and the log-actions-by-month graph don't seem to agree with each other. The day graph looks like this:

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/672/totalactionsdaily.png

The month graph looks like this:

http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss8/Oli4burggraa/totalactionsmonthly.png

As you might see, the month graph says that my first moves were in July last year, while the day graph says my first moves were in January this year! Even stranger is the fact that, afaik, I haven't even moved a single page this year! It even says that I had only 10 log edits in November, while the month graph says I have around 75.

I think this might be a bug.

Also, when I clicked 'export' on the day graph, it was fine, but when I clicked 'export' on the month graph, it said the usual "provided by imageshack - uploading...", but when it was done, it showed blank bars after the 'fullsized' and 'thumbnail' parts. Since I'm usually not very good at explaining stuff, I got this screenshot (I also included the cache date, just in case):

Yours, 21:16, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, great! 07:29, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Tiling script
Where might I find your tiling script? Or, for that matter, your map? Your site does not provide links to them (at least, none that I can find).

Could you also explain to me the basic idea of what the tiling script does so that I can write one for use on my computer, or provide a downloadable tiler? Thanks,
 * Ah, okay. I will download it as soon as I repair/reinstall Ubuntu. Or I may simply create a .NET/Java program for it. All it does is split the files into 256x256 tiles? How does the file naming work?
 * I see. Thanks for your help!

Problems with Auto CVU
Hey, Quarenon. I am having some trouble with your Auto CVU script. When I go to report, I am redirected to a page saying something about a lack of section seven, or something to that effect. If you need me to, I can try to recreate it. Thanks, 00:22, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Christmas Island?
Random question Why are all/most/some of your tools have Christmas Island domain names? Take the editcount for example. The .cx is the county-code for Xmas Isle. 03:27, January 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see  06:21, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Text
Is there a way to center text in the middle of a page, but have it left justified, similar to this:

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.

But without using ? I've tried using the colon to indent, but my screen seems wider than most computers, so if the text seems centered to me, it might appear on the far right for other people. -- 20:44, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! -- 21:27, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Custom Userboxes...
Sorry to bother you once more, Quarenon, but I have a small question that I hope you could answer for me. I want to make a custom userbox that probably will only be used by me, but I don't want the coding needed for the userbox cluttering my userpage even more than it currently is. Is it possible for me to create a subpage of my userpage that would hold the userbox coding, and have my userpage link to it? Thank you for your time. 05:10, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Super omg time
Just for your information, I have made a discovery relating to CSS being displayed in the mobile versions of Wikia sites. There is a page you can edit to change the CSS on a mobile device. The page is Special:MyPage/wikiaphone.css. I have done something with this, to find that it does not entirely work. I have screenshots but I don't have access to my Mac right now. Tomorrow I'll upload them.

If you knew this already, please excuse mehs. 02:31, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, the  is what tempted me to try that file.  I'll do some investigating of the skin's css so I can make a version of the RuneScape theme for it. I'm having some trouble uploading screenshots right now but I'll have them sometime.  21:47, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

War of Legends
Have you tried playing it yet? Because I would like to request your skills on making a calculator for the tax/profit ratio. I could get you the data I would just need you to tell me what to do. (This is for the WoL wiki) 03:29, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * What ever works best, like I think it would be more like a Miscellania kingdom calculator. Where you input the people and the tax and boosts (if any) and it would aproximate the gold per hour. 22:19, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
