Two or three days ago your script User:PleaseStand/Hide_Vector_sidebar
importScript("User:PleaseStand/hide-vector-sidebar.js");
(in my vector.js) just stopped working. As far as I know, without me doing anything. Is it just happening to me? or is it a "global" problem?

Just wanted to let you know - I decided to manually archive. It seems a lot easier. Thanks for your help though! ~ Qwerp Qwertus · _Contact Me_· _Talkback_· 03:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Still interested? If so, what sort of thing are you expecting - any areas in particular you want help with, or do you want me to run through something like this? Peter 14:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I would be so grateful if you would move the article as you offered. (Am I autoconfirmed? How do I figure this out? I so want to learn all of the steps involved in this process--but I had guests from out of town and have only just found the time to catch my breath and get back to this. Thank you, PleaseStand. Your help has been invaluable. MtRainier7 ( talk) 06:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
P.S. Did I understand correctly that, once an article has been accepted, then one can proffer images to add to it? MtRainier7 ( talk) 06:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
I will upload the non-copyrighted photos to Wikimedia Commons. Also, I did divide the article into sections and go to the cheatsheet for coding ideas. I do not know if the article as it appears sufficiently answers the question of the flow of the article vis-a-vis the website; I did make a little change, but left it essentially in chronological order. Is this still a worry to you? If so, I will figure out something. Do let me know. Thank you. MtRainier7 ( talk) 23:04, 24 June 2010 (UTC) (That is, if you have time, do let me know! The article is still at User:MtRainier7/Veterans' Memorial Hall). MtRainier7 ( talk) 23:06, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
THANK YOU! I did move the article, and I've done my research re licensing, Wikimedia Commons, etc. You are so kind! I can't imagine how, but if ever I can be of service to you, please let me know. Thank you again. (If I ever enter another article, may I run it by you??) MtRainier7 ( talk) 23:43, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Congratulations on the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar Award! You deserve it! MtRainier7 ( talk) 16:35, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
I did not realise (sic) the article in question ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language) was intentionally written (for the most part) according to the British-English spelling. I was actually working on a more extensive revision but I will save that for an American-English Wiki. There remain glaring inconsistencies with the usage of "iz" and "is" in the article which I was in the process of attempting to correct (no longer, of course) these should still be addressed though. VMK 10:30, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. It worked!
How would I add a background to a template? I want to add a background to the template using the same background that works on other pages:
.page-Template:Jacob #bodyContent, { background: #FFFFFF url(' http://blahblahblah.jpg') top center no-repeat; }
So how do I program the colon? .page-Template_Jacob does not work :/
One sec on barnstar! Adamtheclown ( talk) 00:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
.page-Template_Jacob #bodyContent { background: #FFFFFF url('
http://blahblahblah.jpg') top center no-repeat; }
You had a stray comma after #bodyContent.

This Barnstar is awarded to PleaseStand. Thank you for taking the time to answer my CSS question, that was incredibly kind. I have seen you around, and you are always so helpful to other editors. Editors like yourself, who selflessly help others is the foundation of this project. Adamtheclown ( talk) 00:28, 28 June 2010 (UTC) |
For User:PleaseStand/userinfo.js, for the following line:
var fh = window.document.getElementById("firstHeading");
Please also find the ID "section-0" as well when "firstHeading" can't be found, because some scripts that modify the first section, including the one that lets you edit the first section of the page, replaces the ID. Thanks. Gary King ( talk) 00:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
<div>
with a different ID for male and female so that we can replace it with an image if we want. And please add a thousand separator to the number of edits. The line added with the script should be on the same line as "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", not pushing that line down, which adds more unnecessary vertical length.

How about wrapping "section-0" in classes based on a user's levels? So, <h1 id="section-0" class="firstHeading userinfo-edit-filter-manager userinfo-administrator">, etc. This would allow us to color it as we want. Gary King ( talk) 05:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
I had another thought re the User Info Script - what do you think of "registered editor" as opposed to "registered user"? kcylsnavS{ screech harrass} 23:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

Hi for a long time I've been a fan of old english style parchment paper. I especially like looking at old books and the aged paper like. I was wondering how hard it would be to design a parchment style scheme for wikipedia which can be optional in your preferences. It would create the atmosphere of an old enccylopedia or scroll, kind of like this or this. Instead of white pages it would be a faded yellow colour with a more traditional font and burned edges around the frame of the pages for effect. Now I know this may not be to everybody's taste but I'm sure a lot of people would find it a nice option, certainly a lot more attractive than green writing on black. Would it be possible to come up with something? Its certainly possible.. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:23, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
The script throws errors when the API is down. It shouldn't. Find the following:
var query = eval("(" + x.responseText + ")").query;
It should be something like the following instead:
var query = eval("(" + x.responseText + ")");
if (!query.query) return false;
else query = query.query;

Hi I've made a request here. I don't have a problem with navigation templates but some people ar eintent on removing any form of template from articles which I think is unfair for those who find them very useufl for browsing. Is it possible you could come up with a "hide navigation templates" in "gadgets" in user preference so those who hate them can hide them withouth it affecting others? Dr. Blofeld 13:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010.

Request: It would be really helpful to have the " short-title.js" also include the "last modified date" (The one that appears at the bottom of all Wikipedia pages). I would greatly prefer to have the date appear in the ISO 8601-format: YYYY-MM-DD.Like this (Remember that I know nothing about javascript so the date part will be phony and I do not want the angle brackets to appear in the output): window.document.title = shortcut + " - " + <YYYY-MM-DD> + " " + "Wikipedia," + wgContentLanguage.toUpperCase(); Sometimes it would be useful to be able to toggle on/off inclusion of the date (and the space behind it).
Could you please help me (again:-) by writing the code?

I have already switched the border to a solid color because the difference is not that much, and might create a version that does not use cookies or animation. It shouldn't be too hard. PleaseStand (talk) 02:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
The tabs near the top of wikipedia pages get distorted on my screen.
This has nothing directly to do with your hide-sidebar-scripts, but it is a slightly related topic. Therefore I ask you: To whom do you think i should address this problem?
