Heya!
In reguards to your question, I'm creating a new prototype search page for when there is an internal error (and wikipedia reccomends you use a search engine

hi, me again. I have been trying to produce a search page. My prototype is available [ here] tell me what you think
symode09 14:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
heya,
I can't workout what you meant when you were getting me to work with js and all that, could you help? I can make pages byt had no clue what to do, even after visiting wp:us

alert('Hello world');
into there, you would see 'Hello world' pop up every time you load a page. Obviously, you would not want this, as it would be very annoying. However, the code if (wgPageName == "Special:Search") {alert('Hello world'); }
would make this message appear only on search pages. What you would want to do is extend the wgPageName check to also look for if there has been an error in the search and instead of alerting the message 'Hello world', add in the search box.

Tra! Thanks for your input on the Village Pump regarding my questions on editing tables. You mentioned that I could enter a section header between rows of the table. How would that look in wiki. I have tried a few unsucessful attempts on my wiki, but I can't get the code to work out. Thank you!!! -- Shelton1234 21:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Why have a lot of users in the last couple of days been signing up with the name "Tra?" I look through the automatically-generated list of new users, and I keep seeing something like "New user: Tra: created new username of {{examplename}}." Are these sockpuppets of the same person trying to sign up as you, or are they different people who all simply happened to choose your name? I'm asking because it's odd.

Um.. Users in my watchlist made about 10-20 edits yesterday but its not showing up as any edits made during that time. -- Darkest Hour 16:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Since you've been helping out so much with WP:ACC, I think I want to nominate you as an admin - so that you can deal better with users who want names similar to existing accounts. I noticed you create several a day - we need an admin there who will do a lot. This will also allow you to deal better with vandalsm - which I see you do some of. Od Mishehu 13:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Did you know when you deleted WP:ACC, I lost over 100 edits which might be the same for you too and all those that contributed to WP:ACC..-- Cometstyles 22:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
It's not at all clear what I should do, as an admin, to decline a WP:ACC request. At the moment, the ones that I accept are removed by the bot, and the ones that I'm not sure about or are obvious declines (e.g. existing username requested) just stay there and clog up the lists. Do you have any ideas for what I should do in the situation? -- ais523 16:18, 2 May 2007 ( U T C)

Sorry about that but I let that account remain because I believe the person that created the account didn't follow proper procedures since the user who created the account was only a week old. I'm not a big fan of very new users creating accounts because last time it happened, there was a big controversy and the user was blocked for creating account on WP:ACC and using that account to vandalize wikipedia and also was a sock of banned user...Thanks for listening..

Hey, Tra. Just a quick question about WP:ACC (since you help put there so much :) Can only admins create accounts, or can anyone do this? Thanks, and happy editing, Arky ¡Hablar Conmigo! 16:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm happy to inform you that, due to your successful request for adminship, you have now been promoted to an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or stop by the administrators' noticeboard. Congrats! Andre ( talk) 19:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Tra, congrats on the admin promotion! Thanks for getting back to me about the user name I requested. I don't have the IP (as my IP is variable) but I do have the account names. I'm looking to start an account at J_Crow or JCrow OR jcrow as this is how I'm generally known on the web. There is an account Jcrow, but it's inactive since its inception some years ago. I'd like to stop using my birth name, and move to my web alias. Can you help? Feel free to reply here or on my talk page. Thanks so much. Joshua Crowgey 07:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I have another wikipedia account with over 500 edits. Nonetheless, my account name is under my real name and I'd like this account because it's not my birth name but bears a resemblance to it. There is a jcrow account which was created in dec. 2005 but never used. If you have the time to leave me a message on User_talk:Joshua_Crowgey when you create the account I'd be obliged (I don't check that hotmail account too often.) Thanks so much. WP:LOVE
Hi, I'm Mac'ero. I'm not received any email for my account, can you resend me? Problems with mailservers? I'm sure that address I have digited was right...or not? Mac'ero 15:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
First and foremost, thank you so much for this script; it really helps make things a lot more manageable when dealing with interwiki links (which I'm doing more and more these days).
I'm if it would be helpful for me to copy the script into my userspaces for my various interwiki accounts. That'd allow for English users to more easily read the sidebar links across multiple projects. I know it'd be useful for me, and maybe for other editors as well. Just thought I'd run the idea by you (partly to see if you think it's a good idea, another is because I'd need your permission before doing that). EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
