 * Yes, why not, y0 --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px| ]] Brains12 \ Talk 21:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If so, I should add my name to your list -_-", and btw *total wiki newbie here* whats an "(Edit conflict)" :S Aljazya 21:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the handy-dandy Oxford English Dictionary, the first use of 'calor' in the sense of heat was recorded in 1599: A. M. Gabelhouer's Bk. Physic 31/2: With a gentle & easye calor distille it. OED also records use of a British company, Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd, selling natural gas as a heating oil under the brand name Calor; this was in 1936.  So Brains was in fact quite right with his assertion of quite a long time, though his link is no help in explaining that.


 * And quit replying so much; I'm now on my sixth EC.. jeez. - T HARKUN  [[Image:User_Tharkun_sig.png|16px]] 21:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a record. I knew Calor was Spanish for heat, but didn't know it had a similar definition in English.  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 21:42, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * lol XD and edit conflict means someone else made an edit while you were still editing. when you save then, you will get a msg stating there was another edit. - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 21:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah I see! thank you for clearing that for me :P Aljazya 21:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Highlight box
i added a div to highlight current birthdays. if you have suggestions, just change it on the page and we'll see whether it looks better :P here's a list on what color codes i'd use for the box depending on month: - Y0_ ich_halt  16:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 * good idea Y0 :o) --Shadowphoenix [[Image:User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg|19px]] 17:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally liked the simplicity of the table when it was kind of colorless (or were all the boxes colored and I did not notice it?) Either way, I like the idea of highlighting the incoming birthday. Looks cool.-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 18:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * thanks ^^ - Y0_ ich_halt  [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 18:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * hmm. that means two edits per day.. This should be done automatically.. :/ poke | talk 18:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * sometimes it's a bit less if some people have right after another, like today and tomorrow. let wikichu do this stuff :P - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 18:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikichu has its limits. I doubt it could be done, but then again, we're talking about Poke, aren't we?  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 18:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * would be a waste. it's not even two edits a day. it's just up to two edits every birthday (and less than two if there's another birthday following up). - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 18:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Aye, two edits a day is far from flooding RC.  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 18:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * bot != automatically.. I thought more of a dynamical way to check if today is someone's birthday.. Wait, I'll write something together :P poke | talk 22:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I doubt Wikichu is limited enough to not be able to do something as simple as this. But on the other hand, it would be a whole lot easier to just make a template which utilizes and  and use that on the page for each row. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 22:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather my watchlist pinged every day it was someone's birthday (so, someone would have to manually change it instead of using ifs or blahs or pokes) - I don't check this page every day, so having it ping up would be useful. -- Brains12 \ Talk 22:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ( (draft) poke | talk 23:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * well I like the idea of it being automatic, it would take the hassle out of doing it and it would also remove it from the RC list that way we can scout better. Also considering the fact that atm it is already pinged everyday it would not change much if it was automatic.  I think we should let poke go ahead and do this. --Shadowphoenix [[Image:User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg|19px]] 23:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * it's really easier to do it manually... and just as brains/plinGGGGGG said, it's actually useful if you get pinged when there's a birthday :P - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 12:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No it's not easier to do it manually, especially as you need some people who always do that and also use the correct color. And I don't like a watchlist-pinging list. So with this I strongly oppose the (manual) highlight of the active birthday. poke | talk 13:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Should I request fo rcomment on this? :P --Shadowphoenix [[Image:User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg|19px]] 16:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * i don't understand poke's problem - this page is pinged almost daily anyway and that watchlist ping isn't all that important - so i decided not to comment at all. i'm starting to believe poke is only opposing for the sake of it. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 16:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * i'm aware this comment was rather rude, but i prefer expressing things the way they are. euphemism isn't my stuff. - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 16:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hopefully the everyday-adding stops sometime.. but for useless edits like adding and removing a highlight every day, I don't want to be pinged for. This is a birthday list and if someone wants to be pinged for a birthday (s)he should not use a list but something other. But if you prefer to be pinged twice every day, fine, do it. But I won't support this page then. poke | talk 17:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Come on just let poke do it, or should we get the community involved? Then we can make an ultimate decision *stern look* --Shadowphoenix [[Image:User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg|19px]] 17:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * lol, i already saw poke's try and i think it's a nice attempt. if you get it to work like that, i'd be perfectly content, poke :) it's just... i think people add themselves to this list to get wishes of luck for their birthday, so there should be some kinda reminder imo, and what could be more suited than a watchlist ping? - Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 19:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Aww, July shouldn't be pink, lol. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  05:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, the template was created and implemented. Simply use  to add a new day, or add the name at the end of an existing day. poke | talk 01:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Broken link. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  <font color="Black">貢  01:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * fixed. poke | talk 01:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Userbox
Maybe userbox same colour like in table. ?  ~Enar.   hello.  19:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If people want. No need to officially sponsor it. And I'm sure one could easily be made my Galil or Poke as a template when one has free time.  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 19:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
