Is there any way you could turn it off for me? Sometimes it pops up even though my bot is not even adding links. Example: Original:

{{Stub/Mob}}
{{Mobbox
 |name = Amani'Shi Protector <!-- Name of mob -->
 |image = Amani'shi_Protector.jpg <!-- put the picture file path here -->
 |race = Troll <!-- Race, such as "Blood Elf" or "Trogg -->
 |type = Humanoid <!-- Type, such as humanoid or beast. -->
 |elite = Elite <!-- write "Elite" here only if it is an elite mob -->
 |attitude = Hostile <!-- Default attitude towards players: Neutral, Hostile, Friendly -->
}}

[[Category:Humanoids]]

Changed:

{{Stub/Mob}}
{{npcbox
 | name = Amani'Shi Protector 
 | image = Amani'shi_Protector.jpg 
 | race = Troll 
 | creature = Humanoid 
 | aggro = {{aggro|-1|-1}}
}}

Interwiki link templates

See Interwiki link templates section on Fandyllic's talk page for the beginning of this thread.

The effect of the code tweak is that interwiki links get different classes based on where they go. The CSS to create them would be ours, so that's what I meant by the huge range. The range is as big as the number of interwiki locations we have. Kirkburn  talk  contr 22:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I see, we could add favicon.ico's or the equivalent for every likely interwiki link we might use, but {{elink}} would probably still get used for non-interwiki sites. {{wikialink}} and {{wplink}} could go away. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 6:38 PM PST 6 May 2008
Indeed, pretty much it. Kirkburn  talk  contr 01:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Was it something I said

So... friendly admin - when I log in to wowwiki, and go to the front page (www.wowwiki.com) I am redirected to http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main

This bage is totally blank. Nothing on it.

When I look at the source it is:

"<BODY></BODY>"


If I don't log in, the front page looks normal.

I wonder if it's something I said....

Old Gods

Hey, I wanted to add that it is hinted (though not explicitly stated) in the War of the Ancients Trilogy that the Old Gods are stronger individually than the Titans are, but I wasn't sure if that belonged on the Old Gods' page or heir speculation page, what do you think? Lckyluke372 (talk) 19:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Citation, citation, citation!--Ragestorm (talk · contr) 21:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Check out the Sundering page 252, third sentence, "It had taken the combined might of many Titans to even force them into captivity; after their triumphant return, there would be little effort needed to eradicate this single, arrogant creature and turn his warriors to their cause." I realize its not explicitly said, but to me at least, it seems pretty clear that's what their saying, what do you think? Lckyluke372 (talk) 00:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this the correct place for this discussion?--SWM2448 00:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, this discussion is which article should it put it under, i just gave y sources and actually only want to know which article it belongs in. Lckyluke372 (talk) 00:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

A note in the main article saying that the Three Old Gods collectively considered themselves a match for any single Titan. I don't think the statement is conclusive, given that I've never seen any other source state that any Titans other than the Pantheon were involved, and at the time they were only four. This would mean that the collective power of Aman'thul, Eonar, Norgannon and Khaz'Goroth was great enough to kill one of them and imprison the other four, a power estimate that would still make the Three collectively stronger than Sargeras. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 13:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It would help if we knew how many Old Gods their were wouldn't it? Oh well, I suppose we don't really know one way or the other do we? I'll leave it alone then. Lckyluke372 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Account rename

First of all I'm very new to actually doing more than just reading Wikis, so I don't know if this is the right place to put this to at all, and my problem is quite small.

But, because I'm a nub, and didn't read the registration rules/guidelines properly, my usual nickname of "wT" turned into "WT" 'cos the wiki automatically capitalize the first letter of your username for you. So if it's possible and not too much hassle I'd like to get my name renamed to "Wt" instead which I think looks better than "WT"... a bit silly, /shrug.

I read from somewhere that it's better and faster to just create a new account with the name you want if there's not too much stuff done yet on the account, so just say the word and I'll do that instead, thank you for your time and sorry for being so long-winded for such a simple matter :o --wT (talk) 21:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You can make it appear as user wT, just not on your page, by making a custom signature or using or name by [[User:Wt|wT]] --Sky (t · c · w) 22:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Wiki maintenance - gold ads

I also edit on EVEwiki (www.eve-wiki.net), and it was mentioned that no way was known to stop ISK (gold) ads from appearing in google syndication ads. As you are one of the more potent voices here, I am hoping you also have a line on how to block particular ads, vendors, or perhaps even varieties of vendors, from appearing in google banner ads.

RE: Sandbox Categorization

C2C

For the sake of my sanity, please: if you're going to use this template, create the target category page first. -- Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 17:41, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

No? I'm not going to create unused categories. Kirkburn  talk  contr 03:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Then move a single article into the new category. Voila!
As I understand it, C2C means, "all the items in this category should really be in category Y". I read this as "this is wrong, but I'm not going to actually move myself to fix it." I find the lack of effort as offensive as you apparently find the unused category. I have no objection, in principle, to the new category. But I do object to the method of getting it changed.
I would have much less unhappiness were you to use something like WoWWiki:Bot_requests to accomplish this goal. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
It is a bot request - WW:BR#Perpetual. You logic seems to suggest that those who add {{stub}}, and other such problem flagging templates should do it all themselves. That is not the point of the templates. They are there to flag up problems for others to take a look at. Having two actively used categories for one topic is worse than having one incorrectly named category, hence why everything should be done at once. Kirkburn  talk  contr 03:39, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
I ran across the tag without that context. You will note that the the template makes no mention of WW:BR#Perpetual. Instead, it presents instructions to the reader. Which I was/am. {{stub}} presents a request for assistance, not a demand. Looking at the current C2C template, I feel rather like I'm being told "No! Bad dog!".
On the "having two actively used categories" theme, I refer back to my comment, "presents instructions to the reader". Were I to add a new page to a C2C-marked category, which category is the proper one? I agree with the sentiment, though. It's part of the gripes I've had with Zeal, after all - leaving things betwixt and between. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 18:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
It's barely anything to do with Zeal. I have no problem with people wanting to do ahead and fix the categories if they want - it doesn't have to be done by a bot. However, I see no reason why the categories shouldn't be flagged up for moving even if I'm not going to do it myself - if I was going to do it myself, I wouldn't bother tagging it!
The length of time c2c is likely to appear on a category is minimal - most are done within a few hours or days. Yes, it's possible a user might be unsure where to put an article - I suppose c2c could be worded better. Mainly, I don't like the idea of encouraging the use of two categories at once, which might be encouraged by creating the new category before anyone is going to mass move the articles. Kirkburn  talk  contr
I've updated {{c2c}}'s wording. Kirkburn  talk  contr 20:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
TYVM. I appreciate your effort, and time. Perhaps I have simply been unlucky in having hit those C2C categories during that "days" period. I will likely add some text to Category:Incorrect categories, because of the double "user redirect" (See this; this says See That). --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 15:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Kirkburn.

Maybe you could put in to the Drysc page something about how the rumor was debunked? That'd be better then just editing it, in my opinion.

Portals re-working

Gahoo was talking to me and indicated you may be interested in implementing the load-less portal tab switching thing.

I've looked into this a bit, the portals would have to be redesigned to something like User:Pcj/Sandbox/Portal:Main, User:Pcj/Sandbox/Portal:World of Warcraft, et al. (and no, the load-less function isn't built-in yet, see below)

The basic gist of the changes is to just separate off the content that changes from portal to portal so that it is accessible both for people without JS (i.e., they browse directly to the page and still see all the navigation) as well as making it a clean load for the normal, JS-enabled experience. One of the added benefits of these changes is that a lot of the content which is repeated on all the pages is stuck on the main portal, making changes easier.

Anyway, one remaining concern I have is the size of the portals, the Community portal for instance is very large, like 12k for the main section content. I was wondering if you would want all the portals to load at page load and (when JS is enabled) to just switch between the content sections with the CSS display attribute or dynamically loading using a bit more complicated setup involving AJAX.

Either should work; the AJAX option is more prone to failure (time-outs, etc), but the non-AJAX version will take longer on the initial load since it would be loading all the portals but displaying one.

Bloodmoon Isle Edits

Hi Kirkburn, I am the user that added the new picture for Bloodmoon Isle among other pages. Thanks for reverting Coobra's edit. I don't understand why he undid my change in the first place and he hasn't responded yet to my talk page comment (although I just recently added it). I did have a direct question for you regarding usage of maps. Are specific subzone maps redundant due to the zone wide map on the bottom of the page? In the past I have included zone maps with the subzone highlighted in green, which I did for Bloodmoon Isle as well, but Coobra reverted it without any indication as to why. Can you please clarify what the wiki policy is regarding map inclusion/exclusion? --Rascilon (talk) 23:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

There isn't one that I know of. I like the idea of highlighting where stuff is on the maps, but it might be better served by a template, similar to the coordinate one we have on NPCs. I'll start a village pump discussion on it. Kirkburn  talk  contr 23:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

KirkBot broke Ashbringer

KirkBot made a simple change to Ashbringer that broke the page badly. I've fixed those edits, but you need to identify refs like this:

I was looking through the problem reports and noticed that http://www.wowwiki.com/Special:ProblemReports/13158 seems to be resolved.

Of course there doesn't - that's why somebody didn't close the report they found. Is there a general admins page that I can use to post closure requests? Or should I just keep commenting on this page? Or does editing a page that has an open problem report on it notify the admins that the problem may have been fixed?-Gregity (talk) 16:01, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
An open problem report is not really an issue, as far as I'm concerned. If an admin sees it, and sees that it has been addressed, they will close it, which should be enough.

Dynamic Sorts ?

Hi, I would like to generate a data page and make the columns sortable/filterable so if one were looking for x in area y they could specify the order and a filter.

That way I don't have to build multiple pages and (most importantly) worry that the pages were out of sync with each other.

I've not seen such functionality in Wiki but it seems that such a thing should exist.

Alternatively, is there a way to make a bot type thing that could automatically generate the alternate sorts from a master page?

I don't even know where to ask this question, so I'm hoping you can give me some leads....

Hot Dawg! I looked all over for something like that and missed this. Thank you very much! -Gregity (talk) 16:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

A (theoretical) question

Kirkburn -

I'm moving from California to New England next week, so I have a (theoretical) question. Say I do win one of these WWI cards - about how long would it take to reach California from...wherever it is you're sending it? Because I would rather it not show up when I'm no longer living at this address. That would royally suck! (And before you ask: No, I don't know what the new address is yet...a week before the move and we're STILL looking.)

Thank you,

Only theoretical? Theoretically it might possibly be coming from maybe San Francisco, which could be California-ish. (heh). If you do win, it would probably be sent before the end of this week. Kirkburn  talk  contr 05:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
"California-ish", eh? *chuckles* --Joshmaul (talk) 13:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Updated with new information

Fansites edit

Regarding this edit: [1] - do you know where that piece of code came from? I'm looking into it as a technical bug, so any information you can provide would be useful. Kirkburn  talk  contr 16:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I actually do, my work proxy is to blame. Whenever I send post information that exceeds a certain character limit, the POST stuff will show up somewhere. At the time I posted it didn't occur to me that this was going to happen. Lesson learned: don't post blog entries and Wowwiki edits from work. Sorry about that!

I've found you at last

I'm having some difficulty with Clearfont. I love it and have used it since I started playing WOW in March this year.

Since the last WOW patch which I downloaded today I don't seem to be able to find a version of Clearfont my addons (in wow) recognises as not out of date.

Even the Clearfont version which states it was updated 6 hours ago (about an hour before this post) doesn't work for me. This one I sourced from Curse Gaming.

There seems to be a lot of versions and outdated information on Clearfont, I thought I had the latest version but obviously not.

I've read through all the information on your website, on wiki and curse and still have had no luck.

I'm a bit of a technonoob but have downloaded and added it successfully for the past 8 months so I'm pretty sure thats not the problem.

Any suggestions? I love it, I'd even pay for it if I could get a version that worked.

Being a technonoob is also probably why I had so much trouble trying to find a way to contact you, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but it was the only generic topic one I could find.

Cheers, Hulachook.

I don't really have time to look after CF2 at the moment, but you can use http://www.tekkub.net/addons/tekticles instead ... it should be basically identical, just without the in-game options. Kirkburn  talk  contr 16:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Firefox 2 error

Sorry to contact you here, but I have no other possibility at this time. I'm normally using Firefox 2 but recently wowwiki fails to load (it works under all other browsers) I can't install firefox 3 here for some reason but I don't want to use a different browser for only one page :/ Could you see into that problem? It started only today, so...were some features added perhabs?--Maibe (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I've reported the connection error problems - I'll report back if I find out anything. Kirkburn  talk  contr 14:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Now it works again for some reason. I seriously have no idea what happened (maybe a script-error?)--Maibe (talk) 01:13, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
