[edit] Another DPL Question

I would like to display only those articles that were last edited in April 2008. Can you please help with this task? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.83.31.1 (talk • contribs) at 05:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC).

You might want to take a look at the DPL manual. The only parameter to get the result you want would be allrevisionssince/allrevisionsbefore but note that you will get revisions as results and not the articles, so you might have articles listed more than once. poke | talk 14:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the info. I did look at that but it did suit my need. How about using {{currentmonth}} to display articles that were created during the current month. Any advise/suggestions are appreciated.

Hi, still struggling :c( ... please help. I found that "firstrevisionsince=dateandoptionaltime" will give me what I need ... except that I don't want the timestamp and username attached to the article, such as, 23:57, 2 May 2008 : Insurance Programs . . JSmith --- I just want the article name, such as, Insurance Programs

How can I turn the timestamp/editor (Username) off from my results? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.29.43.3 (talk • contribs) at 20:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC).

Use the format parameter with the %TITLE% variable to get the output formatted as you like. poke | talk 21:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Poke, that worked ! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.29.43.2 (talk • contribs) at 15:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC).

Your welcome :) poke | talk 17:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No Archive

On the help pages the one labled "No Archive" can just be deleted right? --Shadowphoenix 17:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

yep poke | talk 17:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clear Cache

Do you have any idea where the text that appears at the top of pages like user based monobook.js or monobook.css is located as while using FireFox I've never been able to use Shift + F5 to bypass your browser's cache and have always used Ctrl + F5. I had a look in the MediaWiki namespace but couldn't find anything related to it. --Kakarot 17:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In the name of all that is good and pure >.<

I need your help, I am trying to work out a thingy that adds a link to your toolbox that links to a users block logs (for blocks they have recieved). I have been messing with the code for like 2 hours now and I can't get it to display our block log, bah...... here is the code, can u tell me what I am doing wrong?

// adds a 'block logs for this user' link to the toolbox bar
// if the page is a special page or in the GWW namespace, then no link is displayed;
// the link may display in the mainspace, but should not work
addOnloadHook(function () {
    if ( wgCanonicalNamespace == "Special" );
    if ( wgCanonicalNamespace == "Guild Wars Wiki" );
    if ( wgCanonicalNamespace == "ArenaNet" );
    if ( wgCanonicalNamespace == "Help" )
        return;  // don't display link for certain pages
    url = wgServer + "index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3A" + username (wgPageName);
    addPortletLink("p-tb", url, "Block logs for this user", "pt-logs");
});

o.O uhm, you might be interested in some JavaScript tutorials or syntax descriptions.. See [wikibook] for example.. poke | talk 21:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I know a bit of JavaScript; and I got this to work but then the link suddenly went dead..... -.- that is why I asked ur help........ --Shadowphoenix 21:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually you seem to not know enough basics of JavaScript as the problem here is a syntactical problem, and I don't have the time atm. to explain the basics of JavaScript to you. Apart from that you seem to mix up some logical things in there, as if you don't have a real plan of what you are doing... poke | talk 21:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

nvm At helped me, I was mixing some stuff up :P (mostly the namspaces to be left out) I am tryign to get better throguh trial and error, but I know enough to make tabs and such; but that is about it :P. I dont think I could make a system like GWWT but I can at least make what I need (or want) to make. Thanks anyway! --Shadowphoenix 21:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GWWT shortcut

Have you thought of creating a shortcut to the GWWT page, something like User:Poke/GWWT? Whenever I want to check something on the page I often type that shortcut in only to remember it doesn't exist. I would create it but considering it's your userspace it would be preferable if you did it. --Kakarot 21:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Here you are :) poke | talk 21:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :) --Kakarot 21:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So..

So, what's new with you Poke? — ク Eloc 貢 23:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

huh? poke | talk 23:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I dunno, random discussion. Out of curiosity, what computer/programming languages do you know? — ク Eloc 貢 23:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

depends on the definition of "know" :P I know very many; I can read nearly the same number; I know the syntax of most; I can work with a lot and I'm good at some :D poke | talk 23:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well which ones do you have a decent level of knowledge of? For me I know Pascal, HTML and C++, in that order. — ク Eloc 貢 04:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

To name my favorite ones(/the ones I work most with): ActionScript, php, Python, JavaScript. (html is not a programming language) poke | talk 15:39, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

If you don't know HTML, you need help. Or wiki. Calor 18:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

what's html? i've only ever used wiki...--Sum Mesmer Guy contribs 19:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

HTML, basically it's what websites are made with and also works on wikis. --Kakarot 19:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Ewwww Pascal! I hate that language. 2 years i spent trying to learn it and even now i shudder when i think about it. -- Salome 19:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

As I said Calor, it is not a programming language so I don't mention it. poke | talk 16:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German?

Could you help me out with a user who's Guild seems to speak German? He keeps uploading images incorrectly. --People of Antioch 23:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I think he already got it :) poke | talk 16:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] user image? or am i wrong?

why did you remove the deletition tag from Image:Lazycincodemayo4.jpg? Because it's shown in Cinco de Mayo? What naming policies have such pictures? —ZerphaThe Improver 15:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

None that I know of. - anja 15:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not a user image, so it cannot be deleted because of that reason. Of course its name could be better (for example Image:Cinco de Mayo header.jpg or something like that). poke | talk 16:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Should i reupload the invetory icons project icon then as well? I asked for help on the image's talk, but didn't get an answer :P I should better have asked somewhere else. —ZerphaThe Improver 16:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You can if you like, but you don't need to. poke | talk 16:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

ok. And there isn't a naming policy for guild images besides the cape? Shouldn't pictures like Image:Zaishenlol.jpg be moved to Guild namespace as well? —ZerphaThe Improver 17:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

That one definitely; It's just that the image above is mainly used for the article in the main namespace. poke | talk 17:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, i'll reupload it as Image:Guild Death Is Energy Zaishenlol.jpg then. (having a "move pictures"-bot that reuploads these images automatically with according description would be awesome, lol) —ZerphaThe Improver 18:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki:Sitenotice

Since you just changed this, you might be interested in this discussion :) --Kakarot 01:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I read it :P And because of that I set up the edit summary ;) But sorry that I stole your first MediaWiki-edit :P poke | talk 01:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

=(, it's ok I found me a new link =P --Kakarot 01:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry about that Poke, I will make sure to bring it up somewhere and see if people tink is a good idea before doing that again; sorry for the trouble :) --Shadowphoenix 19:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Many people are still around even when they don't post anything or show that they are still active. Sometimes a message on the talk page helps to get that known ;) poke | talk 19:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Emails work well also. — ク Eloc 貢 00:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikichu assistance

Hey poke :D Zerpha and I are sorting through images and were wondering if we could get some wikichu help to recategorize a few things. Insignia images to Insignia icons to start with would be great :D -- Wynthyst 15:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I won't have time today, but I will do it tomorrow :) poke | talk 16:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool :D thanks -- Wynthyst 16:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Should we put something about it here? --Shadowphoenix 16:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

As there is no other active bot around, and it is already posted here, I don't think it is really needed. poke | talk 16:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, ok :) --Shadowphoenix 16:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
