#ifexpr Error
I was trying to use this code in a template, but it throws up an error.

Glow
Is there a glow-like background in html, like this a bit

"Hello World!" "Hello World!"

this is close but I want what it looks like behind the box something like this (just the "Ohaidere" part)

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

I cheated by moving the "Hello World!"'s background to the right. Can anyone help? 02:16, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I've added -webkit-box-shadow and now I see it. Unfortunately the only way I know of achieving a similar effect is to use a div with gradients. (Not the gradient class.) I'll give you an example later. 17:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -moz-box-shadow only works in Firefox. Use the standard box-shadow also. 01:28, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE can suck it imo. 01:41, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE doesn't support box-shadow... 01:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, firefox doesn't and IE doesn't (IE can still suck it all the same), then what does? 01:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * WebKit browsers. Safari and Chrome. 01:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * But there's " " ... 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -webkit-box-shadow is deprecated. 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine, still means IE does none. But more to the whole point, can you help? 02:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * * facepalm* I'm a complete idiot. box-shadow isn't supported in WebKit browsers. Uh, how many cookies do I owe you?

Notification of changes to RuneScape:Off-site/RuneHead
Is there a way a bot or something could leave me a message on my talk page any time RuneScape:Off-site/RuneHead is changed? That will allow me to keep up with updating the name changes as people post them.--Degenret01 12:25, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't you just follow the page? 00:43, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I sure can. And it doesn't do me a bit of good since I look at followed pages once am month maybe. We may get a change once a week, or maybe once a month. I want a way to stay on top of it without wasting time.--Degenret01 20:07, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I get emails sent to me from Wikia whenever a followed page is edited. 07:28, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I check my email every 3-5 weeks. --Degenret01 07:42, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * ... 09:14, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Would a change of habit be easier than creating a bot script? 08:31, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could try setting up a mail filter that forwards important emails to your mobile phone. I've done that for such things before. 14:34, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Change of habit would be nigh impossible. How hard is a script?--Degenret01 08:39, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you actually use your watchlist? If not you can unfollow everything, follow just the RuneHead page (and a select few pages that you never check on your own) and then use Quarenon's watchlist notifier. It puts a message on the top of the page whenever a page on your watchlist is changed. Its not useful if you have dozens of pages on it, but if you only have a few important ones like I do, its really useful. You can find it listed here. 08:47, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * That script is really useful. But the only down-side is that it leaves a message regardless if it's new or not. 10:19, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, if you go to your watchlist and click the link of the changed page, the message will disappear. 10:33, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, actually. I know it happens; every new page I go to will still display a message regardless of whether it is new or not. 10:37, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I just did what I said and the message is gone... we seem to be at an impasse... *stares down 222* 11:02, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It happened again! *Draws revolver...* 11:07, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your edit put it back, but now it's gone. My way works! *Takes out RPG...* 11:31, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I can't see it now. *All your base belong to us* 11:34, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Signature sorting
How big a deal is the sorting of signature pages in Category:Signatures? For example, the following pages are sorted as "Sig" rather than as their respective usernames.


 * User:C Teng/sig
 * User:Coaster4321/Sig
 * User:Ajraddatz/sig
 * User:Bryanqwert/sig
 * User:Ssswizmig/Sig
 * User:Dave Lopo/Sig
 * User:Wargodnavkri/Sig
 * User:Haloolah123/Sig
 * User:Kuma3/sig

I noticed the error in my own signature and updated Runescape:Signatures so other people don't make the same mistake. Then I noticed that other people had already made similar errors like the ones above. Then I noticed still other people seem to have made other errors. So, as I asked to begin, how big a deal is it? It could be a lot of bookkeeping work; plus it could be a bit intrusive. Suggestions? -- 14:26, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just Not that big, categories are just nice for finding stuff, just go to the pages and replace with  . Easy as that.  00:53, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't carefully audited all 1000 or so. The ones above were a partial list. I did a few others, too, of what were easiest to find. Hopefully no one feels like toes got squashed. -- 01:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh crud... meant to say "Not that big", Idk where "just" came from . But fixing them is still nice. 05:55, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I only picked the lowest-hanging fruit. I noticed you did some of the ones above. Interestingly, working from a snapshot of the category page, I noticed a few people fixed their own before I got to them, too. Anyway, I don't intend to touch any others. -- 12:14, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Trouble with #expr :(
I have this: It is supposed to get the price of a plain pizza minus the prices of Cheese, Pizza base  and tomato  together, then divide that by 143 and remove all the digits after the decimal point. So can anyone see anything wrong with that code? Cause it returns which is obviously incorrect. 11:43, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I forgot to say that just adding/minusing without dividing gives.


 * Is this better? You forgot two parenthesis.   11:47, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are parenthesis these ? Why would I need 2?  11:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit conflict They were missing here (bolded):  11:54, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * You need them because otherwise the arithmetic would work like this: Cheese+Pizza base+Tomato divided by 143 and then the plain pizza algorithm would be worked out last. i.e.
 * Cheese+Pizza base+Tomato
 * "The above" divided by 143
 * Then finally Plain pizza - "the above"

11:54, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for getting that working. Now I can get back to writing my first GEMW calculator...  11:59, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict)So what's wrong with this?   12:28, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wut? What's happening to it? 12:25, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which gives  12:28, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry I had the wrong code. 12:28, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why, but it appears is causing the expression error.  12:33, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I realised. It's Cooked meat, not cooked beef you genius! See: 12:36, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * * facepalm* 12:46, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nubcake... 06:31, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

If the price of the item is over 1000, you MUST do. If you don't add the n, it will display the price with a comma, which will not work in expr parsers. 03:10, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Now who's the nubcake, looking at Template:GEP, there is no unnamed parameter 2, and that "|n" does nothing!!! Nothing!!! 03:25, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, fail. 05:11, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
