Source of Gaile Logs
fyi, I reverted your edit which was to add a "source" link to the Gaile Log page. Gaile posted that in a number of places, including the one you linked to, including this site. Since she was the original source of the information here the external link was unnecessary. Lojiin 11:26, 13 February 2007 (PST)
 * Ok, no problem :) But what about the posting date? I think we should add that, if we want to collect more logs.. Poke 11:56, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Problem Fixed
Just to tell you. --Chiaro 19:18, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
 * Thank you :) Poke 18:37, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Policy
It looks great. :) Cheers. --Dirigible 20:24, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Thanks :) Poke 04:36, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

passing by
I know this isn't some kind of a guestbook, but I just had to say it... I like your userpage. the colors, the style, the sidepage information. they're all great. I'll have to yoink some ideas off of your page, if you don't mind. ;) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Zemmy.
 * Thank you ^^ If you do not copy it 1:1, feel free to use it :). The colors are btw. the "official" profession colors. poke | talk 13:25, 19 April 2007 (EDT)
 * oops, it looks like I forgot to sign it... but yes, I like the idea of your side bar! I don't think I'd copy and paste it 1:1, but I will most likely look at the codes haha.--Zemmy 16:28, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Eu userbox
Poke, you're using a userbox for Europe, I just wanted to let you know that the following userbox exists: User Eu. Currently your userbox refers to an inferior picture of the European flag. The Eu-userbox uses a new one, perhaps you might consider changing yours? I have marked Image:Europe_60x40.jpg for deletion, but your userpages link to it. -- (CoRrRan / talk) 10:05, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Thank you :) I will change it, so you can delete the file. poke | talk 11:33, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

NPC articles
First of all, nicely done with the boss articles, they're looking good! :) Secondly, thought I should let you know about NPC location. If you wrap the locations of each NPC with that, it'll also autocategorise the NPC by location. For example, for the Ranger's Construct page, it'd be something like this: == Locations == * Kaineng City **   **  Which would result in: == Locations == * Kaineng City  ** Sunjiang District  ** Sunjiang District (explorable area) (It'll only show one category in this particular example, because it was decided to have mission and explorable NPCs in the same category; the template will take care of that though, so don't worry about it too much.) Anyways, hope that makes sense. Cheers! --Dirigible 20:06, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
 * Ah, ok :) Thank you, I didn't know :) poke | talk 20:10, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

cleanup???
1234,, Can you tell me what there is to "cleanup?", its written by the formatting guide. ~ Kurd 09:00, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
 * Don't we need a Template:Location infobox? poke | talk 09:01, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
 * no these are Point of interests, no use putting a template there as you wont be able to fill in 9/10 stuff in it ~ Kurd [[Image:Kurdsig.png]]09:04, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Hi! Bitte schau mal auf Talk:Game updates/20070525. Danke :) (''for english visitors: hi! please look at Talk:Game updates/20070525 Thx :) --BigBlue talk  11:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC) '')
 * Schon getan ;) Es liegt an der Interface Größe. (english: Just done ;) It's because of the interface size.) poke | talk 11:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Vergiss nicht, das "Fertigkeiten" auch normalerweise angezeigt werden. Das selbe Problem existiert übrigens mit dem "Interface ausblenden" im Hauptmenü und Beobachtermodus, da geht es allerdings erst ab der Interface Größe "Größer". :) Soll ich den revert machen?
 * (english: Don't forget, that "Fertigkeiten" is shown, too. By the way the same problem exists with "Hide UI" in main menu and observer mode, this time the second word is only shown from UI size "bigger". :) ) --BigBlue [[Image:Monk 20.png]] talk 11:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Im Observer gehts bei mir auch bei kleiner Interface Größe :P Und im Login-Bildschirm gehts gar nicht ^^ Werd jetzt mal die Update Seite etwas anpassen um das neue Wissen einzubauen ;)

 * Man sollte eine "German translation task force" einrichten und alle Fehler auf einer (Wiki?-)Seite zusammenfassen. Wäre der Idee nicht abgeneigt so eine Strichliste zu führen und behobene Fehler rauszustreichen. Vielleicht könnte man da ja noch offiziellen Support von der Übersetzerin bekommen. :)
 * (english: One idea: Establishing of a "German translation task force" to list all errors on a (wiki?-)page. A tally with removing fixed errors. Maybe we could get official support from the german translator. :) --BigBlue'' [[Image:Monk 20.png]] talk 11:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, Du bist an der Reihe. Ich denke einfach mal etwas auffüllen und dann schauen wo wir das einbringen können und auf den Normal Space verschieben können.
 * english: OK, it's your turn. Just fill out and later we can talk about moving this article into normal space. --BigBlue [[Image:Monk 20.png]] talk 12:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

User Page
May I use some of your userpage? I need something to work with, I'm new to wikis, and your page looks really cool. I'll put credits in. --Zakek xek 01:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course you can use it, but I use raw html instead of wiki codes (tables etc.) so you won't learn much wiki-coding from it :) poke | talk 08:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'll take your design, too. But I remove your language boxes with the Babel Template, you should do so as well. :) --BigBlue [[Image:Monk 20.png]] talk 09:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That is not a babel template ;) And please do not copy the complete design. You can use it as inspiration but not just for copy&paste. poke | talk 09:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Roger. I'll do further modifications later, please be patient with me. I have lots of work to do for studies. :( Oh, and I hope you won't kill me for my addition on your page. --BigBlue [[Image:Monk 20.png]] talk 09:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't need to learn wiki stuff, I know my basic HTML and CSS xD (nowhere near W3C standards though.)--Zakek xek 18:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Campaign Categories
Hej Poke! I changed the "Category:User Campaign x" names due to them not being in the same style as other user categories (the categories were also "orphan", ie they could not be reached through the "Category:User" hierarchy). I also changed the corresponding userboxes to make sure everyone get grouped in the right place. But, I see you have manually written in the categories. If you want to, you can change the categories into "Category:Users who play the Factions campaign", "Category:Users who play the Nightfall campaign" and "Category:Users who play the Prophecies campaign" respectively to get listed with "everyone else".--Lensor 17:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this notice :) poke | talk 17:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Poke/German translation task force
Ich denke, man sollte deutlicher betonen, dass eine Hilfe von Außen beim durchstreichen sehr gut wäre. Alle Gebiete nach einem Update abzusuchen (z.B. Rock Ice und/oder alle Dialogtexte die nur einen Buchstaben falsch haben!) ist dann doch sehr viel Arbeit nur für uns zwei, zumal sich bis jetzt kein anderer zu dem Projekt gemeldet hat. Generell lieber "mehr" verlangen und dann etwas kleines bekommen, als vorher schon zu sagen "ist nicht notwendig bzw. wäre schön" und dann nichts bekommen. ;) Also formuliere Deinen Satz bitte ein wenig um. --BigBlue talk  14:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC) In english: I think we should accentuate, that crossing things out would be a great help. Searching for all changed things after an update (e.g. Rock Ice and dialog text with misspelling of one word or one letter) would be too much work for a 2 man project (as it currently is). That's why I think we should ask for this (maybe great demand), to get at least a little response (=help) for everything we proposed. I request you for changing your answer / mind in this question, please. :) --<font color="Blue">BigBlue  <font color="Blue">talk  17:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I will not change my comment on this. In my opinion we cannot demand for telling us which changes were exactly done. If they do so it's nice but if not we cannot force them to do. Apart from this I will not look every time for updates on translation. When I coincidentally notice any change on something we logged, I will strike it out but I will not look for it. This is my opinion and apart from that I'm totally against changing anything in a talk page (apart from spelling mistakes etc.) poke | talk 17:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Unusual Problem
Poke, When I accessed GWW today, it logged me in as you for some reason. As soon as I refreshed I was logged out, but it might be something you want to ask about. I didn't do anything, promise! :) -Kumdori
 * I got the same problem for just some minutes. I was logged in as another user (only on Main Page). When I clicked anywhere I was logged in as myself. I logged out and in to fix that. poke | talk 20:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, see here: Guild Wars Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs poke | talk 20:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Babel
Hey! Could you edit your Babel categories to show the language abbreviations in lower case (i.e. DE-N = de-N and EN-3 = en-3)? That way you will be categorized in the right place with everyone else :) --Lensor 17:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for noticing! I changed it :) poke | talk 17:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Character info box
you told me to use the character info box but i dont really get it can you help me out Priestess donut 21:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The Character info box is not compatible to the NPC Infobox so you have to rework the parameters. For your character User:Priestess donut/pvt donut the third it would be the following code (for example):


 * Note: you will have to reupload the character images in another name. To see the required name just put the infobox on your page and click the red image link. poke | talk 22:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Skill bar templates
Want to go around changing those to the now edited Template:skill bar? ;) There's LOTS of people using the different templates, just check what links here for them.. - anja    (contribs)  10:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think I will do it, but I will make some changes to the template before. ;) poke | talk 10:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * finally done :D poke | talk 22:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Good work!
Good work on condensing the skill bar templates. - B e X  10:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Broke the char template though :/ -- Lemming64 22:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

EditBot
If you're going to use bots on the wiki, I'd suggest that you have a look here: Guild_Wars_Wiki:Projects/Editing_bots. -- (CoRrRan / talk) 22:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * To be fair, Poke's using a semi-bot - it's a program that, while having bot-like speed, requires every single edit to be confirmed by the bot operator. That page lists all of the bot operators (Mike, Diri, and myself) and their bot accounts - technically, AWB doesn't count =) MisterPepe talk 23:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oww, didn't know that. Thx for explaining it Pepe. -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 23:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But the next time I will do something like this (with this much RC-flood ^^) I create a bot account and ask for bot status :D poke | talk 06:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

"You have a new message"
Help:Ask a wiki question - just want to force a "You have a new message" popup to show :)
 * This was me. And who ever wants to change the "You have a new message" window, here are the standard css properties: poke | talk 18:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

.usermessage { background-color: #FFCE7B; border: 1px solid #FFA500; color: black; font-weight: bold; margin: 2em 0pt 1em; padding: 0.5em 1em; vertical-align: middle; } /* Inherited from div#content */ /* Inherited from div#globalWrapper */
 * 1) content { line-height: 1.5em; }
 * 1) globalWrapper { font-size: 127%; }
 * Heh, more css questions, I hope you don't mind ;) If I want to override the colors defined in MediaWiki:Sitenotice, what do I have to type? I've been able to change the text size, but I think I need to include something that tells "replace the properties in the div"? :P - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]]  (contribs)  18:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the styles are set via the style attribute so you have to use <tt>!important</tt> to overwrite the settings which are defined via style (you can see it here). Example: poke | talk 18:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

div#siteNotice div { background: white !important; color: blue; font-size: 15pt; }
 * Ah, ok, thank you :) - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]]  (contribs)  19:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing up my Guild's wikipage. Today is my first day actually registered and that was my first edit of a wiki, so I was bound to get a few things wrong. :D Thanks again. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Linoud.

Please stop
I plan to do a mass revert of the template changes. Please allow more time for community input. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Already saw. poke | talk 19:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks ... I do agree that a change is needed and I like the idea of consistent design, I just strongly dislike the use of red for these - so I burned my 1RV on reverting the two updated so far. (not that an RV policy exists, but I still intend to follow it myself for my own edits until something is decided). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * FYI: I have most of the text-based color codes and their hex equivalents (with one or two mistakes that I need to clean up) available at User:Barek/color-codes. I'm fine with the gray and brown options that have been updated on the proposal, but there are variations of gray and other colored options that someone else may like and want to propose - could use this list to scroll through a partial sampling of the available colors. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm open to every color anyone wants ;) I just used my colors for the icons to get a matching orange and created from this one background and border color. I personally prefer hex colors over named X11 colors. poke | talk 20:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Could you add the functionality that adds pages to the improperly tagged category if they don't have a timestamp or speedy tag. -- (gem / talk) 20:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned Image: Icon delete redbetter.png
The image you uploaded (Image:Icon delete redbetter.png) has been discovered to be orphaned and has been tagged for deletion. If you had an article linking to this image, a different one might now be being used instead - if there is an article that you think it would fit on, feel free to remove the deletion notice and give it a home! Thanks, Lemming64  16:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahm, yes. There was no need to notify me as the template for which this image was for was deleted today.. But thanks anyway ^^ poke | talk 16:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

GWWT
&larr; moved to User talk:Poke/GuildWarsWikiTools

GWWT #2
Silly Poke waits until I'm on holiday before trying to crush my little script with one almost identical to it *sobs* :P. Now I'm going to have to rewrite it just as competition *grumbles*. ;) Ale_Jrb  ( talk ) 19:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I suggest a joint effort for the better of the GWW community! -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 08:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No, actually I don't want to beat GuildWatch with it. I started the project with the intention to have a script for myself that meets my demands. But because you can not have a greater script installed here on this wiki without let others know (and they would just install it and test it!) So I decided to publish it ;) poke | talk 09:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * "..greater script installed.." *decides to dedicate a little more time than the half an hour used to create the original on the next version* ^_^ Ale_Jrb  ( talk ) 15:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Poke, for the next time, can you also leave a note on the uploading user's talk page? Thanks m8. -- (CoRrRan / talk) 20:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm not a friend of noticing the user always because of a deletion notice. If there are many images with a wrong name or something other uploaded by the same user than a notice is ok but just because one image which is in addition uploaded just some minutes ago? poke | talk 20:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You've got a point, but then there are numerous 'wiki-noobs' who don't recognize that their image is tagged for deletion and suddenly see a red link in their 'carefully' created page. They then probably don't know what happened to their picture. -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 20:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Dark Emperial Legion
Why both move and delete-tagged? Why not just move it and tag it with guild cleanup? - anja    (contribs)  19:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm ^^ Because when moved there remains a redirect page? Don't know :P poke | talk 19:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter if you move it or someone else do it, the redirect will be there and will have to be delete tagged anyway.. :P I particularly dislike delete+move, because when moved you just edit out the delete tag again, either it should be deleted or moved. Imho. :) - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]]  (contribs)  19:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Watchlist
Hey poke, you seem to be very handy with JS. There seems to be a way to categorize the Watchlist using JS (see this and this). I tried using Dirigible's JS (see this), but it doesn't want to work for me (Firefox browser 2.x). Is there anything you can do to make the Watchlist be categorized into namespaces? -- (CoRrRan / talk) 00:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm not that handy with JS, but I love to program so I decided to go through some JS references because JS is not that bad I thought ;)
 * But, back to topic: The watchlist really looks nice. I had installed Dirigible's script before but I didn't noticed how good it looks ;) I will have a look at the code and test it. poke | talk 00:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you poke. *waits in eager anticipation* -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 01:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, the new version of GWWT includes a watchlist sorting (see config part on project homepage). It will be enhanced with the next release. poke | talk 17:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, where in the code do I put that var stuff? :P I tried just putting it at the end of my monobook.js, but nothing happened.. - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 17:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * (edit) Oh, well, I thought a false value to enable something sounded very odd! :P New try - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 18:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did a mistake on the project homepage. First I planned to enable the watchlist by default so that you type  to disable, but then I decided to disable it by default and forgot to change the   to   ;) poke | talk 18:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "stealing ftw" - hehe :P I got it from User:Dirigible/monobook.css poke | talk 18:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I love stealing your css edits, because you find functions I would never think existed :P - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 18:06, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe :] You can also change the colors, if you don't like the green/red poke | talk 18:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I now found out what was wrong with my Watchlist. I had the "Enhanced recent changes (JavaScript)" function checked in Preferences. And now I'm confused again... why can't these two scripts work side by side? -- (CoRrRan / talk) 18:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, when you use "Enhanced recent changes", the lists were modified to a list which does not consists of a html unordered list . But because Dirigible's script reads out each list item (li) and changes just the position of them and because there are no list items there is nothing modified. poke | talk 18:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yes, you are absolutely right. And now I am going to have to make a decision... I'm soo used to my friendly little blue arrows, but Watchlist sorting is nice too. :( -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 18:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

just a note
While the language used is being debated right now, GWW:SIGN does mention that sig images should be named according to the user image naming scheme. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I know but maybe there will be something added in (near) future. Also it's not wrong to upload it with user image naming. See also his talk page regarding this. poke | talk 21:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you misread what I wrote. GWW:SIGN does, not doesn't, it does mention that they should be named as user images. See the last bullet point in GWW:SIGN. :) [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Uah o.O You're right. I think I was a bit confused because of this bot request and "there's no policy that says you need the User prefix for signature images" this - but obviously this is outdated ^^ poke | talk 21:27, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I made that comment on June 10th, while GWW:SIGN was edited on July 1st by Gem to include that requirement, so yeah, the comment is somewhat outdated. Still, it's to be noted that there is no requirement for the word "User" to be part of the filename, as also noted by Gem in the summary of that edit, the concerned line is "The image file should be named Image:User sig. ". It's also to be noted that this change was added to the policy unilaterally by Gem, with no previous discussion that I can see, which is one more reason not to make to big a deal out of it, but treat it just like a suggestion instead. --Dirigible 21:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe we can have a look at it during our Policy cleanups? But anyway it makes sense to upload them with user image naming as its an image used by just one user. We could use a phrase: "New uploaded signature icons should be named [...] while existing images can be left as they are." or something like this.. poke | talk 21:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, we've been using the User_ prefix to indicate images that are for use in the User: namespace, not for images only used by just one user, as noted in GWW:IMAGE, GWW:USER and user image. If we want to expand that requirement, it should be discussed somewhere first. --Dirigible 21:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, GWW:USER does use a heck of a lot of "personals" in its section about user images - which seems to imply that images tagged as such are meant to be "owned" by a given user (in the sense that other users shouldn't rely on them not changing, et cetera). [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And I think it's ok to upload "personal" images or images which are not used (/useful) by others with the user prefix. poke | talk 22:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello poke.
Sorry for the misplaced name of my guild but when I wanted to change the cape design it wasn't possible to replace it, it kept the same cape. We now have got a new one and I know how to edit the text I ment the cape only. I apologies for the extra work I give you.

after all I want to ask you can you please send me a direction of how to change the guildcape image ?

Thank you

Regards Dragonknight Icarus 18:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Your image for your guild is located here. If you want to change the image use the Upload a new version of this file-link. As I already said, it takes some time until the image changes because of the internal caching of MediaWiki but you don't need to upload it again, just wait. After a while you can try  to see if the image has changed (btw. on pages which use the image with a smaller size you often can see the image immediately after upload). poke | talk 19:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Browser used?
So, I'm guessing that you never use IE? I usually use Firefox, so when I first saw your user page in IE I thought someone had vandalized or unintentionally mangled your user page. Not sure if it's an issue to you or not ... but just as an FYI, in IE, all your user boxes are on the right on the first top half of the page, then on the lower half all of the remainder of your page is on the left. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I normally use Firefox only (because it supports the most standards :P); I use IE only for browser compatibility testing. But thank you, I will try to fix that soon! poke | talk 16:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * works :) poke | talk 16:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Inscription restyle
I like what you've done with the restyle of the inscription article, and I wanted to check with you if I missed a policy or formatting that calls for tables to be styled in that way so that I can make a mental note for next time? -- pullus   talk 16:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, there is no policy or formatting guide on how to format these pages.. But as we use the cellspacing style very often on this wiki (for example all infoboxes), I applied this style to the page. Btw. I also removed the subnotes because as I checked the inscriptions, all of them could be added thrugh the PvP weapon creation window.. poke | talk 16:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll bear that table style in mind for next time then, and thanks for checking the PvP inscriptions ... I had wondered if that was why the footnotes were gone.-- pullus  [[Image:User_Pullus_Sig.png|Sig]] talk 17:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Javascript
Hey poke, do you have any idea how we might be able to use the images to sort the skill list tables? I think the javascript requires tags for that to work, but perhaps you might have an idea on this?

I ask this because I personally don't like the way some skill lists are looking at the moment (List of enchantment spells). Only with my bookmark tab off and @ full screen (1280width at work), it is reasonable, otherwise the table is just horrible. (Really large rows due to the lengthy descriptions.) -- (CoRrRan / talk) 11:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I want to get rid of those 'sorting'-images used at the moment by the class=sortable addition. -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 11:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And how would you make a difference between "ascending sort", "descending sort" and "not sorted" if you use the yellow arrow? Chriskang 11:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Cor, but that does not work on MediaWiki.. We cannot create Javascript links or anything similar.. The only thing we could do is rewrite the Sortable Tables function... poke | talk 19:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Not even using MediaWiki:Common.js? (I'm now moving to the hypothetical realm.) -- [[Image:User Corrran sig.png|CoRrRan]] (CoRrRan / talk) 19:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is that we cannot be sure that Common.js is loaded after the sortable tables javascript so you cannot modify the code.. poke | talk 20:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

if so what are the format rules and if not let me know so i can let them know. thanks rockweaver. Rockweaver 23:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * the only things your guild page must have are: guild tag, guild infobox, alliance infobox and roughly the layout from the example guild page. You can include all your members under a heading like "Members on GWW" or something. - Y0_ich_halt [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px]] 23:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

What's with the new skill list format?
The old one is way better. Now everything need an extra click. Oh wait...not just "an" but several extra clicks. Lightblade 22:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? poke | talk 22:03, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean the new nav bar vs. the old TOC. Lightblade 23:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I think one of the reasons we merged the skill lists is because we have lists for the separate attributes already, and no list to compare all skills for one profession. Now we cover both cases. And I don't see how it can be that many extra clicks to click on the attributes in the nav instead of the TOC. - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 07:47, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * List of <Your Attribute Here> skills works with one click..? Also the navbar has nothing to do with this, as the lists were merged before I made that navigation.. poke | talk 09:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about List of skills pages. Now you need an extra click to get to all the skills in one attribute, then back, then click another attribute for all the skills.  Having one huge list just doesn't does it.  You'll have sort it (one click), then scroll it down (more drag and drop), and finally find the attribute that you're looking for.  The last part have the most hassle.  Because you have no idea which part of the list that attribute is located. Lightblade 19:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Tabbed browsing + the navigation for the attributes? There is need to look through the complete list, if you want to see only skills from one attribute. The complete list is for comparison between attributes.. poke | talk 19:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

editcopy syncing
Just a note, when syncing elements of the editcopy to the main page, it's probably best to try an resolve the differences manually rather than just copying the editcopy source to main - for instance, this sync lost a few of the links that were on the main page because someone had a suggested removing them on the editcopy, but the discussion regarding that was not really conclusive, thus that particular change shouldn't really be synced. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 20:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I removed the links on the editcopy by myself, see [ this]. I did this because News includes all existing news and also provides links to each detailed page.
 * Also I think the editcopy is the page which should always contain the Main Page with new additions so a complete sync is always better imo. poke | talk 20:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Question
How do you put an image in the background, like in the skill infobox?reanor 16:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not possible with the mediaWiki software. It automatically filters out background images; the only possibility is to add it to the css files like MediaWiki:Common.css.

Checkmark sizes
Hey Poke, sorry I didn't reply sooner, I'm not around the wiki as much as I used to be. I was looking at the checkmark sizes after you left me that message and they're all 20x20, the ticks, the x's, the lot. I see your argument that 19 high works better for the inline text, but I also think that if you're using them in a column under Lord Biro's profession icons 20 wide is better so they center the same ... so could 20x19 work? -- pullus   talk 01:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit tool customisation
Hello there. I was wondering about customising the way the edit controls work in Mediawiki, and your name was mentioned as someone who has the knowledge off-hand. I hope you will not mind the imposition...

Quoting myself from HammerWiki My question is this: I would like to change the behavior of the signature button in the edit controls to NOT put the dashdash (--) in front of the four tildes ( ~ ). I'm almost sure it is possible, but I'm figuring that finding out which file to change and how to do it myself seems like a lot of trouble, so... do you know?

Either way, thanks for your time. :) --Bishop 21:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * in the unlike case that poke doesn't know what to do, just type the four tildes yourself. - <tt>Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 21:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you ... However, that was not quite the point. On a keyboard like mine, typing a tilde requires no less than three key presses, each. Not exactly convenient. --Bishop 22:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * well, coulda said that in the first place. i've met ppl here who didn't know where the tilde button is. - <tt>Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 22:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You are correct, I could -- possibly should -- have been more elaborate in my question, especially since I am completely unknown on this wiki. I guess I figured the question was of a sufficiently advanced technical nature to preclude lack of such basic knowledge. --Bishop 22:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * you never know... XD - <tt>Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt_sig.jpg|16px|Have a look at my page]] 22:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, here you are. Add the following to your monobook.js and it should work :)

<pre style="margin-left: 50px;"> function changeSignatureButton { if ( document.location.href.indexOf( 'action=edit' ) < 0 ) return; var toolbarButtons = document.getElementById( 'toolbar' ).getElementsByTagName( 'img' ); for ( var i = 0; i < toolbarButtons.length; i++ ) {   if ( toolbarButtons[i].src.indexOf( 'button_sig.png' ) > -1 ) {     toolbarButtons[i].onclick = function {       insertTags( ' ~', ,  ); return false; }     break; } } } hookEvent( 'load', changeSignatureButton );
 * poke | talk 21:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That's because JavaScript (or ECMAScript) is based on the C syntax. Apart from that there are not that many different syntax schemes. The most famous ones are probably the C syntax and the Basic syntax. Based on those each language adds some specific characteristics to create their own syntax.. poke | talk 22:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you kindly, that was almost exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it didn't quite seem to work for me. You see, the monobook.js file seem to have lost its magical js property and the four tildes are expanded into my current signature as I save. In other words, I end up with an edit button that inserts the specific timestamp created when I saved the monobook file, not the current one... I'm not quite sure how to get around that. :) --Bishop 22:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I always work around it by adding them two tildes at a time :). (e.g. run insertTags( ' ', ,  ); then insertTags( , , '' ); ). There's probably a better way :), but simplicity ftw. Ale_Jrb  ( talk ) 23:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That did the trick, and I should have figured that myself, duh. Thank you both very much. --Bishop 23:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The better method is doing the following with your monobook.js:

<pre style="margin-left: 125px;"> /* */ /* here comes the code! Even with ~ */ /* */
 * So will have never problems ;) (Another way would be using ) poke | talk 06:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

monobook.js
Is there anyway to rearrange the monobook stuff? I dunno if this falls under the monobook stuff because it isn't written there but my "Search" bar is below GWWT and some of my other monobook tools is there any way to move it to the top? <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo'  22:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't understand what you want ^^ Do you want to rearrange the portlets on the left side? In what order? poke | talk 22:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah that sounds right, portlets are the boxes with links in right? As to the order, Navigation, Search, my wiki links, GWWT, toolbox, support. <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo' [[Image:User_Lyra_Valo_LVsig.jpg]] 22:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm. I have no idea about the "My links" thing, but for the rest, add the following to your monobook.js:

<pre style="margin-left: 75px;"> gwwtLoadAfter = function { var column = document.getElementById( 'column-one' ); column.appendChild( document.getElementById( 'p-search' ) ); column.appendChild( document.getElementById( 'MYWIKILINKSID' ) ); column.appendChild( document.getElementById( 'p-gwwt' ) ); column.appendChild( document.getElementById( 'p-tb' ) ); column.appendChild( document.getElementById( 'p-support' ) ); }
 * Just change the MYWIKILINKSID to the id, MyWikiLinks uses. poke | talk 22:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, and how can I find this ID? <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo' [[Image:User_Lyra_Valo_LVsig.jpg]] 22:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I just looked at the code in your monobook and saw that the code is really invalid.. I would just advice you to change the  in the code to the preceding id (in this case  ).. poke | talk 22:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Which code is invalid, you code you gave me or the one in my monobook? <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo' [[Image:User_Lyra_Valo_LVsig.jpg]] 22:59, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The code in your monobook. Especially the line ; I cannot tell you what the id of that div is now, so we cannot address it when resorting. So I would recommend you to either clean that up, or simply changing the   in the line   to  . poke | talk 23:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think i'm gonna leave it how it is because I can't clean it up because I don't know Javascript and it was made by someone else, and if I change it they way you suggested I still ahve to scroll to see search with doesn't rectify my problem and My Links is harder to access then. Thanks for all your help anyway. <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo' [[Image:User_Lyra_Valo_LVsig.jpg]] 23:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as I understood, you simply want to resort the boxes, and that would work by doing it the way I said :) Of course you will still have to scroll as you only resort it. poke | talk 23:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, got it to work, I removed the MyWikiLinks line in the code you gave me and that made everything go in the order I wanted. Thanks Poke :) <font color="Black">Lyra' <font color="Maroon">Valo' [[Image:User_Lyra_Valo_LVsig.jpg]] 12:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

List of adrenal skills
I'd like to DPL this. Any idea on how to do this withoutt either going through all skills or adding a new autocat? Only things I came up with, but they're not optimal, so I'm asking the resident expert. Backsword 09:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it could be done without some form of categorization. I don't think auto-categorizing adrenal skills into Category:Adrenal skills is a bad idea at all though. LordBiro 10:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The only things which come to my mind is either getting all skills and then check if adrenaline is given or using a simple list with the adrenal skills.. But a category would be better I think :P poke | talk 13:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, those are the same I thought of. Should we do the autocat then? Backsword 14:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You should probably add that to Template talk:Skill infobox first.. poke | talk 14:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

glad I didn't have to tag all of those redirects hehe :) Fall 18:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Image?
You deleted my user image with reason: user image naming. What does this mean, and why couldn't you at least give me a warning? I merely named it as I have seen others do. --Lurio Mystras 21:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see our image use policy. User images has to be named, so your images should be named  . You should also note that there is a link to that policy when you upload an image ;) poke | talk 21:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Back Off
Since when was it practice to move things from someone else's talk page without their permission - certainly before they have seen them? I put that on that page for a reason and it was none of your business to move it. Notice: no-where in that topic did I mention reconfirmation I was merely requesting BC judgement/action, and he is a BC so that is where I went and that topic had every right to remain where it was. You have no right to move it. 67.159.46.131 15:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * First, it is not the business of bcrats to review sysop's actions. This should always be done by the complete community; for that we have the reconfirmation process. As you simply copied the text without mentioning it, nobody was able to see the history of the comments as nobody knew where the comments came from. Also we don't need a right to move something to a page where the topic fits much better. Also the information is still kept because there is the move template left, so LordBiro can follow the comments easily. poke | talk 16:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry to but in here, but where is this so called talk page 67.159 speaks of? &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  07:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Possible Copyright Violation
Not sure if this qualifies or not but both Image:Quakewlogo.jpg and Image:Quakeworldlogo.gif use the Quake logo, should they be tagged as copyvio and http://www.idsoftware.com/ set as the url? -- Kakarot  16:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I marked them for deletion as they are also unused. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  18:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, was gonna tag them for deletion then thought that since they were using the Quake logo they would be copyright vios, lol guess I should of just tagged them like you did seeing as either way they would of been deleted. -- Kakarot [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 00:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Very nice
First off, I would like to say that you do good work here on the wiki. Whenever someone releases anything open sourced on the internet, it's bound to be tampered with or edited incorrectly (I think I'm guilty of a few counts). I was looking at your page, and I thought to myself: "Wow, that's really nice. Must have taken ages." I am looking for help on formating my User: People of Antioch page, and I am wondering if you or possibly someone else/another place you could refer me to get some kind of nice format down? Thanks for your time! :-) People of Antioch 16:26, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, I think the best you can do is simply look around on some userpages until you find something you like. Then you can look at the code and try to think of a more personal style for yourself. If you have any questions about formatting or code, or you have an idea and need help with the transformation to code, feel free to ask me :) poke | talk 16:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. People of Antioch 21:02, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
