Bad pages at the Wikia Wikis

Please get someone to delete the bad pages I listed here. These pages are found in the Wikia Wikis.

User talk:69.234.144.73

That talkpage is in the Transformers Wiki, Starcraft and CNC Wiki. On the Transformers Wiki it has more threats than Assaultheads talkpage.

User talk:Sideways

Angela forgot to delete that talkpage and deleted the Userpage instead. That page has alot of Flame Wars on it.

User talk:Soldier 79

It is still there in the Transformers Wiki.

User talk:Anti-Spammer

I can still see that bad page in the Starcraft Wiki but PsiSeveredHead is not doing his job by protecting pages rather than deleting that talkpage.

Avoiding Gold Ads

Hi there.

I just received a message from you about adding links and that the problem is that my site has gold ads. Basically, I really don't want these gold ads, but I don't know how to get rid of them :-( I see that WoWWiki.com also uses Google Ads. How do you avoid the gold ads?

I would really appreciate a response.

Thank you.

-- Morten Helles 18:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

You should be able to put blocks on certain words or websites. I do not personally control it, but that is what I've heard. There is also the problem that many of your links go to extremely short pages - linking to well-formed guides is good, but if it doesn't add to whatever is already on the page, it's not suitable. Kirkburn  talk  contr 18:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

As far as I can see, I can only block specific URLs. Which I do as I discover them. I have now also added a URL underneath the ads so that users can report any RMT ads that they discover. I am sorry about violating your policy, but I really wasn't aware of it until now. I will instantly remove all links to "short pages". -- Morten Helles 18:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Skin problems (not dermatological)

Do you want skin issues to just be listed here?

Some things I've noticed:

• On Monaco gaming:
  • The darktable class is messed up (white text on light background). This is a big problem.
  • Common items using the {{item}} or {{loot}} templates show up as black text on dark blue background:  [Linen Cloth], [Linen Cloth]
• The Quartz skins show a page and then go blank when previewed.

Kirkburn, can you change the linds back so they are blue instead of red after this 24 hour April Fool's joke thing? It is starting to annoy me because I look at the link and I am still getting confused if the page exists or not, even if I know it is supposed to be a joke.

Monaco skin preview

Testing the skin, and bugs

Setting up Go to Special:Mypage/monaco.css Type in @import "http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Kirkburn/monaco.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&templates=expand"; Go to Special:Preferences, choose Monaco Sapphire (this is the base skin for custom skins). (Note that "see custom skins" will need to be ticked when the skin goes live) Do a complete refresh. You should now see a preview of Monaco Charcoal with wowwiki tweaks. Monaco Charcoal is not final, and the wowwiki.css file's changes need to be merged properly, so do not take this as a final appearance. Known issues Skin images are missing, including the Wikia logo, the "More" link background, the search box icon and the hatched line background. Certain wowwiki.css changes aren't showing, due to not being merged into the new skin. TOC links have a dark blue hue. "External" link have a slightly altered colour. Probably won't change this as easier to differentiate? Tweaked, still slightly different to before code and pre colour bugs in IE TOCs are missing [hide], known monaco bug. TOCs have a slightly larger font. May or may not deal with. Ads need filtering. If you find issues with any areas being unskinned or unreadable, please let me know. Design feedback is also appreciated, and will be passed on. Note: I will update my CSS with changes over the next few days as bugs are fixed, designs are tweaked. Also, remember you will have to delete your skin stuff once the skin is live - which should be next week. Kirkburn  talk  contr 01:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

As requested:

1. Wikia logo and "more" preferences options pull-down buttons are too dark for the background.

Customizing the Special:Mypage/Monaco-toolbox and changing "Special:Whatlinkshere|What links here" to something else (ie, Special:Whatlinkshere|WLH) makes it so that Monaco-mediawiki does not assume that you are referring to the page you are on.

Reasoning for "+"

For admins (and admins alone), on smaller resolutions causes odd floats on the page_bar. I personally prefer + (damn minimalists), as the information needed to show that you should leave a comment is there on mouseover. Forget not that the icon can also be clicked on to leave a comment. Which, leads me to believe it should still be a +. I'll settle for "Comment", however. --Sky (t · c · w) 23:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The icons not clickable. o_O. I could swear it was (on FF. I confirm unclickable on IE). As for min width, no. It's an administrator issue, which means its confined to 20 some-odd people, and forcing a min width makes even lower resolutions (iPhones and what not) have bigger issues. Again, not gonna' kill me to settle for "Comment" :). --Sky (t · c · w) 00:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Case-Sensitive Search

The Search function seems to be case-sensitive. For example, searching on "hinterlands quests" gives no results, even though the first likely match on the list is "Hinterlands quests."

Likewise, "Desolace Quests" doesn't produce a match... because the Q in "quests" is capitalized. Hopefully this is a minor setting tweak?

Preferences bug

Hello. It seems there is a bug with the signature input field in the preferences (or sth. like that). I just wanted to test out the new Monaco skin. Now, when i try to submit, it will not change the settings, because it somehow recognizes my signature field as a nickname field (which is wierd, as there is no nickname field usually) and says it's too long. Obviously, with the raw signature, the field is quite large in my case. I uploaded you a picture to show what i mean.[5] Thanks in advance. Tws 11:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the relevant guideline on Wikipedia states explicitly that templating and/or adding images to your sig is not allowed for reasons which make a lot of sense.^[1][2] Maybe it would be wise to change what we allow in signatures... Essentially, I agree with all the reasons listed, and I think it would be a boon for WoWWiki to follow them also, as we suggest on WW:SIG. :x --Sky (t · c · w) 20:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

One thing i've noticed with the new skin: It breaks my view on my phone. I've got a PDA phone, and the old them reshaped very well. Everything was readable just fine. The new skin screws stuff up. I read wowwiki on my phone while on WoW on the computer so I don't have to alt-tab, it kinda makes it hard. Is there any way the devs can try to make a phone friendlier version?

Other than that, I don't like the new skin much on a computer either. But thats just me. -- Corvincorvae 17:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm unsure as to the proper procedure for this, but http://www.wowwiki.com/Special:Contributions/Fuck_Angela_Beesley_and_her_big_british_fuck seems to be doing some vandalism- moving pages around, calling everyone Sith lords and the like, lol. Evanfardreamer 09:52, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Reverted, thanks :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 10:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Issue loading pages

Heyas, having issues loading specific pages with this new default skin. In particular http://www.wowwiki.com/US_realm_list_by_datacenter

The tables with the server IPs don't show up. I know they're coded properly as I can view them from my home computer running Firefox, however running from IE6, all I see are huge gray blank areas where I know the tables should be. To find a specific server's IP I have to View Source, then do a search for the specific server I need...

This is doable, however I like being able to easily see which server is in which Battlegroup in which Data Centre.

Is this something you guys can fix, or is it something with my machine? -- Resa1983 14:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

From what I could tell from screenshots on browsershots.org it may be related to slow JS in the Monaco menu. Try disabling JavaScript and see if that helps. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 15:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Skin problems

Garona in Warcraft I

I switched to the new Wikia Monaco skin today and have found a few problems with it. When an image is a thumb, the background of the little image frame is black like the text labeling it, so it can not be read unless highlighted. Galleries are also huge and ugly white blocks.--SWM2448 00:26, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

OS/browser? Kirkburn  talk  contr 21:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I use Internet Explorer.--SWM2448 21:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Which? 6 or 7? Kirkburn  talk  contr 21:26, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, fixed :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 21:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The Thumbs are fine, but galleries are still big white blocks. Is that possible to fix?--SWM2448 20:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion?

This site http://www.wowwiki.com/Server:Exodar_US/Rare_Crafting_Guide has Speedy Deletion notices pasted all over it. I dont understand why or what we can do to get our server page back and looking right.

thx -- Baldylox 21:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks okay now. Someone briefly marked one of the templates for delete. Kirkburn  talk  contr 21:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

That was me. The template was {{delete}}-tagged, and the talk said it was unused (which turned out to be untrue). Therefore I gave it an {{speedydelete}}-tag. Can't we trust anyone nowadays? --Ose^{Talkz / Contribz} 23:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

I find it very amusing that our birthdays are only one day apart... mine is today, yours is tomorrow! Happy early birthday, since I probably won't be online to wish you it tomorrow. --Jiyambi t || c 17:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

username change - bug or feature?

Will I get my old username back? I presume this was forced by user db merge, but I am WCFrancis, aka Bothard of Guilds of Light on Sentinels. -- WoWWiki-WCFrancis 16:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Further on this: I did find User:WCFrancis on Halopedia and FFXIclopedia. Both had full name listed as William C. Francis (which is mine) and neither had any entries at all made through that account. Could these be spurious accounts created by the merge? -- WoWWiki-WCFrancis 16:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Doubtful. Post WoWWiki talk:Upgrade early 2008 and we can take a look at the account. Kirkburn  talk  contr 22:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
