Hmm. Any instance of either works fine for me. Anyway, can't wait to see who the next is, eh? 
I know... But I'm saying nothing. I'm going away next week, but I should be back for the 15th.

NIWA Discussion / Re: Wars Wiki's newest Awesome feature
« on: October 06, 2010, 02:04:18 AM »
I noticed this while checking up on its implementation... If you look at it, you'll see "1." instead of the redirect symbol; the {{UserLang}} template breaks the redirect. It's even more apparent to users using non-American English, such as me, as it causes the redirect to link to itself, bolding the link instead of soft-redirecting. I've fixed this one, and Zak, but is it possible for TextReplace to avoid redirects, preventing this? Or will each one need to be fixed as it appears?

I have absolutely no problems with the code being imported. I also perfected one of... those, but it's a secret to everybody. For now.

« on: October 04, 2010, 03:32:02 PM »Also, what about he/she in an article (referring to the player) based on the user's selected gender? That'd be cool, too.Yeah. We had discussed that, but {{I}} seemed too short for a template. Also, it brings up the issue mentioned here, of how to refer to one of unspecified gender. That needs to be resolved first, although it seems either way, someone will claim that it's wrong. We could use "the player" to avoid this, but that could get repetitive. :|
Edit: Templates updated and working with the new optional parameter.

« on: October 04, 2010, 01:42:17 PM »Although, for guests, when it's just "the player"... since the T is uncapitalized, you can't really use it at the start of a sentence. I'm not sure how you'd fix that though...Quite simple really, I can just add an optional parameter using {{#switch}}, so that typing {{RealMe|cap=1}} will capitalise "The player" when used.

The completed template.
It isn't in any articles yet, but the documentation in that page makes plenty of use of it.

You assume correct I'll just need a basic idea of what you'd like done. It may be a good idea to wait for Steve to upload the skin, so we can work to blend the templates in with that.

I'll certainly help out. I doubt that I'd need any added permissions, since I rarely need to edit MediaWiki pages or anything that needs admin rights. Only if you've some existing templates that I can use with some alterations, but you have protected, would I need the required permissions to edit those. And no, I've not played any of the games, but hopefully that won't be a major obstacle.

I think a few users make them as templates, and others post the coding on that page.
If anyone would like to import the box, this is the required coding:

Code: [Select]

| style="width:45px; height:45px; background:red; text-align:center; font-size:14}pt; color:black;" | '''[[File:Niwa.png|75px]]'''

File:Niwa.png will probably need to be edited for each wiki, but otherwise, the code is relatively universal.213

Without a real name set it just blanks, but {{#if}} and {{#ifexist}} can be used to make a template that defaults to {{CURRENTUSER}} (logged in) or "the player" (logged out). This page shows the coding for that.

Bit of a bump for this one...
On this page, I made a "NIWA supporter" userbox, using the WiKirby {{userbox}} template. I tried to replicate the forum's skin as closely as possible for the basic colours. What do you think?

Not sure if you can count Star Fox 2 for a "favourites" poll, since it was never released :/ I've only played SF64 briefly, so I guess that's the only one I can vote for.

« on: October 01, 2010, 01:59:18 PM »I did suggest to have the real name though haha, that'd be funny...It's possible, and the required variable is easily added;
Put this at the bottom of MyVariables.php, inside the curly bracket before the last "return true":
case MAG_USERREALNAME
$parser->disableCache();
$ret = $GLOBALS['wgUser']->mRealName;
break;
Then add 'USERREALNAME' to the array on the top line. You can change that code to display anything contained in the SQL table 'user'. I tried to make one to display passwords, but it renders as ":B:random letters".
