Time preferences
I'm running into a problem about my time preferences. I'm trying to use my widget on this wiki from here (same code). But the problem is, even though my preferences have a difference from UTC of -4 hours, it still shows UTC from   and   . Do you know of a fix? Screenshot 15:05, May 9, 2010 (UTC) Oh, and btw, do you know who made the pathfinder? I'd like to make it better, with quest guides and stuffs. 00:30, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your script
I forgot to thank you for the hide followed pages tab script thingy. Sorry! 19:11, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

correct current time.
I figured out the code finally http://shadowtalesandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Timezone

If you get in touch with me on IRC chat, I'll tell you how to implement this on your wiki. It's much easier than following instructions that i would post here on your talk page. I'm usually in #wikia or #wikia-urealms. cya there! --ShadowTale 09:26, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Teh epic main page
I made some epic CSS (stolen from here) that works in Safari. Put this in your file: Then look at RS:MP and move the mouse around. It's a surprise (although since you're good with coding you probably already know what it is).

Remove mouseover text on images
I'm trying to figure out how to remove the the mouseover text for images that are big but have been stumped, I know how to change it such as   I've tried html like    but obviously that doesn't work. You think you can help? 01:17, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't think it would be so simple.  05:28, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

scripts + search
I wanted to know how I can get the scripts to work on other wikias.

Also I wanted to know make this happen http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8461/searchy.png Is this somewhere in the mediawiki

I'm asking these because I'm hopefully going to adopt a wiki, and I need lots of help and your the best person I know to ask about this stuff. There will probably lots more questions to come unless you don't want me bothering you. If you know someone willing to deal with me, I'll bother them with the questions instead. 03:45, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the first part.
 * I meant the first user talks are not in any order and then begins to be in alphabetical order. 02:10, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * oh ok, well it doesn't hurt 02:27, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Check lists on MediaWiki
Here's a challenge for you: Check box lists in articles. See here for the check boxes I'm talking about. This could be used in the second phase of my "Changes to quest articles" to act as a checklist of items that are required for the quest. I have scoured the web and asked both on #wikia and #mediawiki but no cigar. The best I have seen is the row highlighting we used at the DnD locations, which you implemented here. We could have small square cells and just colour them in when the user clicks on them. Anyway, you are one of the best coders here, so I thought I'd see if you know how you do this or if it is possible. Cheers, 09:00, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Making a Chrome add-on
Hello. I'm trying to make a Chrome add-on which would let you look up an item on the GEMW. I'm not really sure what parts of the JS I should use, however, and I'm also not sure if some of it relies on MediaWiki's API. If it does, could you make a version that only relies on standard JS? Thanks. (What I need is a way to fetch the icon, price, and stuff like that from a page on the wiki, and I also need a way to make a form.) 01:14, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Supposedly it's simple.

 * Nothing more than a web app in a box, am I right? 11:22, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

YG
Since you're online, can you close Forum:Fair Use and the RSMV. please? I'd rather not do it, since I've been a fairly vocal opposer. (by the way, I like your new userpage and signature. :O) 02:09, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok then. 01:42, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Another script question
If I use the toolbar template on another wiki, will it give me the template from this wiki or the template of the same name on the other wiki? 22:18, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I might do that instead as there probably be no need for a "GEMW Incorrect Edit (GEMW 1)" on a wiki unrelated to runescape. 22:24, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hey there.. couldn't help but to see that you use my clan chat -- glad to hear it!

Thanks. Star Find 02:50, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Script Question
I've been trying to work with wiki markup to make calculators. I've created a script, but it doesn't seem to work. Could you take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Visible Portion

Template

It is relatively simple, and just adds two numbers.

Thanks, 16:26, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to edit the script directly if necessary instead of leaving me a message.


 * By the way, Happy Birthday, your account!
 * Thanks for your help, I should have known better than that. :)

The failing
This is not working right. Help? 22:22, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Me again
I'm having trouble with my userbox:

Userboxes: (screwed up right now)

Userboxes: (screwed up right now)

I was hoping you could help. Also, I rather not have a lot of blank lines or a lot of  as I want it to wrap nicely. Thank you. 21:29, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK its perfect, the template helped, it just needed to be one div over, thx! also the Template:Pwnz Vandals has been deleted and you have that on your user page, just to let you know. See Degen about why. 22:36, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki Videos
I do not really know who to address this to, so I choose you. ;) To better help wiki editors and bring more people to the site I choose to start an account on Youtube, RuneScapeWikiVideos. I will be able to upload videos for new users with narration on how to do things in the wiki, that are not always explained in a guide, such as adding transparencies to images. I created the first video as sort of a sample to get some thoughts on it. I was wondering how I should bring this about to the wiki, should I open a new article about it and have links for the editors to Youtube so they can go watch? Should I start a talk page going to get suggestions? Or do I have to get this approved some way? I'd love to contribute to the wiki like this, just need some guidance on getting it going. ;) Here is the link to the first video, feel free to critique it, it is more of a sample type of thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIk3oAp7u_Q Thanks. -- 22:28, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

EW3
Yes, I suppose it was copied and pasted =P 15:20, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Script question
Is { name: 'Delete Personal', ns: 'File', open: '\n\n', sample: 'Personal image' },

the same as { name: 'Delete Personal', ns: 'File', open: , close: '\n\n', sample:  },

and { name: 'Delete Personal', ns: 'File', open: '\n\n', sample: 'D|Personal image' },

?

I'm asking because I was poking around in the code of the Template Toolbar and saw that you didn't exactly follow what you show as an example for the Advanced Customization section. 01:16, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, so the sample is what is highlighted when the wikicode is put in and is just a little convenience when typing ,otherwise, it's the same? 02:23, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Rawr
Sup Mr Q? There appears to be a mystery with one of my userboxes..if you look at Template:User hates deprecated HTML on my user page you will see a ' in front of it, but if you view it on the template page itself that ' is not there. 04:13, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mr. Q? That's good, but I still prefer quarquar. :3 04:14, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * We will see what new nicknames my cute little bunny can come up with  04:22, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Master of Q. 04:51, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

New page text
http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/5766/newpage.png Can you fix it to that those buttons wrap rather than going off the page. Thanks. 12:24, May 29, 2010 (UTC) or something like that can fix it? 08:45, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you know where it is in the MediaWiki? 08:18, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I saw, but now I'm getting this: http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8137/newckh.png Perhaps a
 * Thanks, looks great now!  08:52, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Script
Hey, could you possibly make a script that adds a notification box to the top of the page when a certain page is changed i.e. Changes have been made to (pagename) since your last visit! -- 19:08, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea i saw that but i want one that doesnt notify about every page on my watchlist.....just ones that can be choosen via parameter like RFA and YG and CVU and such 19:08, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! 00:42, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Learning more about wiki coding and programming
Hello!

I'm interested in learning more about coding and programming so that I can further help out on the wiki. I was wondering if, when you get some free time on weekends, you could help me out? I'll be studying your existing code in the mean time (I'm more a modeler then I am a programmer, but I'm willing to learn. :3)

Thanks! The Wretched Automaton 23:23, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I have taken HTML classes, and I do notice that a large portion of the wiki uses some basic HTML coding (unfortunately, I barely squeaked by in those classes, so I'm pretty rusty/bad). One of my main goals would be to learn the coding necessary to quickly, efficiently, and accurately help keep the wiki clean/stylish. Do you have any recommendations as to what I could start on? I want to do more then just rollback vandalism/inaccurate edits (although that is important, and I won't avoid it, I want to do more, if that makes sense.). 02:17, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I'll start using these right away and get back to you if I have anymore questions! :3 02:42, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

 * Fixed. -- 22:59, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

My venture into bookmarklets
Hello again, almighty god of teh scripts. I'm trying to make a bookmarklet that would add a short youtu.be link to a YouTube video page, in the same box with the description. The problem is, it won't do anything. The script version is here and the javascript: version is here. Are there any problems/errors on either version? 21:08, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch. If I could give you something useful I would, but I have none of usefulness. (lol) 21:41, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Problem with my talk page
Sorry to bother you, but I've been experiencing a big problem with the scripting on my talk page, and I was hoping you could help me figure out what's causing the problem and fix it. The problem I've been experiencing is the disappearance/displacement of the menu bars on the left of the screen whenever I go to my talk page. If I go to my talk page while using my custom Monobook theme, the menus simply disappear and I'm forced to go to my user page to get them to appear again, but if I access my talk page while using a Monaco theme, the menus move into the contents of my talk page, causing much of the text to become unreadable due to being covered over by the menus. I do not know what's causing this since I don't know too much about the scripting used on the Wiki other than the usual coding that is used on articles, so could you please take a look at my talk page for me? Thank you for your time. 03:42, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Redlinks caused by templates
Hey Quarenon, would it be possible for you to change the code of some of the warning templates we have (Template:Test1, Template:Test2, etc) such that they will not cause redlinks, when a page that has been deleted is linked? For example, in this example, could it simply display the name of the article without linking it? Thanks. 08:15, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks! 03:00, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Scripts
You should put some of your scripts on the Development wiki! 01:31, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have some of your scripts in my global.js. 04:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:JPEG
I'm sorry, I was under the impression that it was to be added to all Jpeg images. My mistake, and I'll fix those. 03:11, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Dynamic Templates problem
I made this:

 template = User:Evil1888/Sandbox2 form     = ppf result   = ppr param    = 1|# of Points param    = 2|Skill's Level

 template = User:Evil1888/Sandbox2 form     = ppf result   = ppr param    = 1|# of Points param    = 2|Skill's Level &lt;/pre&gt;

Looks fine now but when used it adds as new line under the result which ruins the look. (Try the calculator to see what I mean.) Anyway to fix this?

Also what does the  part do? 07:46, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought of that and it worked with the calc I put on Penguin Hide and Seek, I thought this would only be temporary, but I guess not. As for, I got that from your Calculator page. I wasn't sure if it was needed but all of your examples had it, so I added it. I didn't know what it did but better safe and not having a viewer come along, use the calc, and have something weird happen. Thanks.   02:49, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Item compare idea
Do you think it would be possible to add another category to the item compare to include the current GE market price for the item based on that items infobox? I think this would be a useful addition and was interested in bringing it to the YG. I just wanted to make sure it was viable first. Thanks 07:16, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I posted the thread here .  04:08, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks :) 04:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Question
How do I hide those "What's hot on Wikia" adds on the bottom left side? I am assuming some JS is involved after looking at the source code and trying a few edits to my CSS page.. 04:17, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yaaaay it worked. Thanks  04:32, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Userbox templates
Why is your talk page in that category? 19:05, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

My script is failing
Hello yet again. I'm having a bit of trouble with a script I'm making (sound familiar?) located here. The script is supposed to get rid of MediaWiki-generated thumbnails and display the full image at a lower scale. I want to do this so my mobile browsing of this site is better.

The problem I'm having is that it won't work right. Specifically this error from Web Inspector:

TypeError: Result of expression 'document.getElementsByTagName('img').each' [undefined] is not a function.

How should I remedy this? 01:06, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
