Top Secret Missions

If you have been sent here by a link i (or someone i know) sent you here, then thank you for taking interest in my top secret projects. And here they are:

1. On WikiBound, we have begun working on inter-wiki links that can be placed on the sidebar, similar to inter-language links, based on some code i got from WikiMedia . in order for this to work, we need people who would be willing to help with the following:
   • Implement the related CSS and Javascript with permission of that wiki, by an admin there and/or an interested participant in this mission. If the wiki wishes to customize it, work with them to preserve the idea but at the same time, allow it to fit into the wiki's
   • Develop inter-wiki templates for each wiki to each wiki, customized to that wiki's inter-wiki codes.
   • Swap links for inter-wiki content. For example, zw:Characters_in_Super_Smash_Bros._(Series)#Ness is the Ness link on ZeldaWiki, and i think that link should appear on the Ness page on Smash Wiki, SMW, etc. Any wiki's that don't include Ness (like BP) wouldn't be forced to create one just to accommodate. (This task is being headed by Turtwig A)
2. Help out Sonic the Wiki become a more viable wiki, and possibly an some-what important resource for NIWA.
3. seek out trusted editors from all niwa wiki's to help with the NWiki.

Bellow is the comments area in order to allow the above to be just the missions.

When will we try for NIWA membership? What requirements do we still have to meet? Ewan2012 18:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

1. Well, for one thing, Yusie needs to comeback from her hiatus. if not, we need to select someone from the wiki to represent us to NIWA.
2. Then we need to prove:
   • a devoted staff,
   • a somewhat active userbase

In addition, we need to reduce our stub percentage.

(pause)

Anyway, i will see what i can do to get us at least a review. Tacopill 19:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Taco!

Close your div tags! TTEchidna 05:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not used to this insane coding.. what am I doing wrong? HavocReaper48 01:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

It's not a problem, you probably aren't familiar with template coding. Here are some pointers.

1. When using templates, you will have these things called "variables" and "values", and they look like this:

| varible1 = value1
| varible2 = value2
| varible3 = value3

Variables are always case sensitive, which means a capital letter and a lower case letter are treated differently. In addition, there will be no order to variables given; you could list them alphabetically, or make them random.

2. When a value is given, without a variable, that means the template is using numeric variables, and then there an order to the varibles. The first one is used for a specific purpose, which is different from the second, etc. For example: {{tt}} alows you to create title text you see when the mouse cursor hovers over it. {{tt|*|as of Nov 24, 2010}} gives you *

3. Part of the templates design it to automatically add the series logo to whatever you put in the "main" variable. It isn't needed there.

4. Be sure to remove any unused lines, that when removed, don't cause text looking like this: {{{some text}}}; to show up. This means there was a variable that was required to have something in it.

Anyway, if you have anymore questions, just feel free to ask. Tacopill 04:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC).

Yeah, uh, I kept trying but wasn't very lucky.. can you set an example? Thanks. HavocReaper48 17:33, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

It's not a problem. Check this out. Tacopill 20:01, 27 November 2010 (UTC).

Ok, uh, apparently the problem was I copied the outline but there was caps in the words? I fixed the "problem" but question, where would I find out total views and views per edit? HavocReaper48 23:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. For those numbers, Check Special:Statistics, and if they aren't there, simply put in "n/a" in it's place. Tacopill 02:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC).
