Special:UserScore

Could you make it so anyone can see it, please? ^Plumber

He won't be back for awhile.-- Aipom --

I know, but when he is back, he'll see this. ^Plumber

Don't think this is going to happen, sorry. --Steve (talk) 09:00, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, can you just install an Edit Count. A fan of Yoshi | Here

Hel-loo. A fan of Yoshi | Here

Give me a link to an extension. Why does it even matter? --Steve (talk)

23:14, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

en.kirby.wikia.com has a special page there. (I don't know how to link to extensions.) A fan of Yoshi | Here

This is what YoshiFan is talking about. --KPH2293 23:21, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

The extension Wikia uses is currently unavailable for other MediaWikis (I've looked many times). Besides, there'll be more important extensions to install in the near future. Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:17, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

vandalism

There's a vandal and will you please block him. I've been reverting for awhile.-- Aipom --

I think I reverted all of it and he's gone.... for now.-- Aipom --

Well he's been blocked. --Steve (talk)

09:00, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Thank you.-- Aipom --

New "Only Block" User Group

As talked about on the main page talk, we need a new user group for just blocking rights. An in-between of sysop & user.

I think these lines in LocalSettings.php takes care of it:

$wgGroupPermissions['patroller']['block'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['patroller']['rollback'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['patroller']['patrol'] = true;

Where "patroller" is the name of the user group. Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:17, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Group added. Fire when ready. --Steve (talk)

20:36, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Image:PaperLuigi.PNG

That file page & it's talk page can't be edited. Is there another blacklist text string like -psy- that's causing this? Wa _T^C_@^Y 21:32, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, it's being caused by "perl" in the page title. --Steve (talk)

14:46, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

User:Grandma Logan

Block him Great Gonzo

No need to warn me if I'm not online. Sir Grodus took care of it. --Steve (talk)

Collapsible tables

Steve, some navigation templates don't have some esthetic like to qualify as template, because some are too big or another has extrange colors combination. So, it's possible to reorganize those defective templates to create some styles, for example, the Racecourses template should have a Collapsible table property, for reduce all the space that it contains, or at least, compact all this info that it has.
€zlo^{I'll hope your call}
PS:Look the exampple of the wikipedia link, that is should has our template.

do you think Grandpa and Grandma Logan are the same person...Great Gonzo

Maybe. We have the collapsible table extension installed, so you can fix up the tables if you'd like. --Steve (talk)

14:46, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

sorry but, how I can set the box class that i want? can you give me any example of how i can make a collapsible table on this wiki? €zlo.

I don't even know. Wayoshi had me install the extension, maybe he knows something. --Steve (talk)

06:49, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Special:CheckUser

I just realized: CheckUser probably isn't set to allow patrollers access. Can you set this? Thanks. Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:48, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

I've done away with the CheckUser user group (annoying) so now all sysops and patrollers can check users right from the start. --Steve (talk)

14:47, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

2 Extensions to Consider

Delete a user permanently from the database. We have some rude names and duplicate accounts that make this useful. Probably bureaucrat-limited
Oversight. Think: As mentioned on the page, personal information is exposed or something secret comes out accidentally (I know of a case of that in this wiki right now). This is a good thing to keep in handy, and we can limit it to bureaucrats as well.

Wa _T^C_@^Y 19:16, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

That's pretty cool.-- Aipom --

I installed the Delete User one. What kind of exposed personal information are we talking about here? --Steve (talk)

19:47, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, if there's no personal information, extreme vandalism that's vulgar can be removed. I was thinking possibly an email address was revealed that is supposed to be kept hidden, or some sort of secret between two users that is accidentally hinted or released on a user talk page edit that needs to be kept hush-hush. Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:08, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

OK, I have one that will help with searching: here

^Plumber

That extension isn't available yet (testing). Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:02, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

What's your verdict on Oversight? Also, there's a new version of DynamicPageList. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:38, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

I updated DynamicPageList. I suggest you make sure it's running at full efficiency. Oversight is installed and revisions can be hid by sysops and patrollers. When looking at a past edit of a page (from the history), there's a new hide revision tab. Hidden revisions can be reviewed at Special:Oversight for sysops only. Also, I plan to update the MediaWiki software to the latest version soon. --Steve (talk)

15:04, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

I tried all 3 ways the Extension page said the Oversight tab would be and I'm not finding anything. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 15:33, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

The new tab is all the way to the right on old page edits. Should see it here. --Steve (talk)

20:40, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

Still not seeing any hide revision tab. Can you take an image to show me where I should be looking? Wa

_T^C_@^Y 20:46, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

K. Maybe try a hard refresh. --Steve (talk)

20:50, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

The hard refresh did the trick because I've left this window open for days, even during Stand Bys on my comp. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 20:53, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

Good to hear. --Steve (talk)

13:38, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

User#1481-1483

Hey steve can you delete the user number 1481-183 due to its rude username manner in list of registered users.F g

That's something I wanted to bring up with you. I tried deleting those users, but they still appear in Listusers. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 15:32, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

The extension wasn't working and is removed. I read deleting user tables in the database can screw up the wiki, anyway. Maybe just try renaming the vulgar names to anything else. --Steve (talk)

20:42, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

Hey, you ever face a wiki user in MKDS? ^{Plumber, darkgreen}

Yes. --Steve (talk)

23:36, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Who? ^Plumber

I played Wayoshi, WarioLoaf, and I believe 3dejong in a tournament we had. --Steve (talk)

11:30, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, I was there. You whooped my butt. Or did I whoop yous? 3 D, bahaha!

I killed you. --Steve (talk)

edits

Not trying to be like, mean or nothing, but do you ever make any edits to regular articles? Full Metal Moogle

What do you think? NO! --Steve (talk)

22:44, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmph.

3 D, founder of the wiki, and all he does is keep it up. Go figure.

Guys! He made the stinkin' Wiki! Isn't that enough? Max2 (talk)

Yes and no. --Steve (talk)

Thanks

Thanks Steve. -- Son of Suns

Not a problem. --Steve (talk)

Sprite

File:Myguys.PNG

Your the Blue Bowser.

It took me a lot of time, took me about 20 minutes to do one of your sprites but here you are! I noticed lots of people were using Bowser as your sprite, so I decided to make it more custom. Do oyu like it? I hope you like it...and I hope I didn't waste your time... Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Looks good, I like it. --Steve (talk)

12:44, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Delete Users

Can't you do something to delete users with inapprioprate names?F g

MediaWiki recommends we don't delete users, so the best we can do is rename the usernames to something else. --Steve (talk)

13:38, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Extensions

Remember this? I think there's been a new release. Can you install it now? Wa _T^C_@^Y 13:47, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

I still can't access the server command line to install it. --Steve (talk)

14:00, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

This requires that $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword are set up in AdminSettings.php
If there is a problem running the script, use the table definition in patroller.sql to create the table in the database

Did you check both of these? Wa _T^C_@^Y 14:15, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

I never got to hear your opinion on this. I said in the IM that less than 10% of wiki users join the forum, which would mean making the chat accessible from here would really increase activity. Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:54, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for pointing that out, I got the one extension installed now. Guests can access the chat now. I'm going to move the chat so it isn't worked through the forum. --Steve (talk)

13:38, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

So you're installing Extension:IRC Chat or doing it another way? Also, this has finally come out. I've heard an overwhelming yes in the chat room. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 13:42, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Yay, chat's coming to the wiki!

^Plumber

13:48, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Not particularly. It may be hosted somewhere entirely different. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 13:49, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

I just noticed that the IRC extension page says MediaWiki 1.9.3 or greater is needed. We are still at 1.8.2. Issue? Wa

_T^C_@^Y 14:04, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Gives me a reason to do the upgrade now. --Steve (talk)

14:13, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Is there another MediaWiki page that controls what text appears before the chat applet (currently none)? A little list of basic features or a link to a chat help page might be helpful. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:22, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Deletion

Can you delete the Sammer Guy Tournament article? I created it just to find that the tournament from Super Paper Mario was called the Duel of 100. I've created an article called Duel of 100 now, but I don't know how to delete the first article I made. I think you can, though. Thanks.

Hi Porplemontage

Hi Porplemontage,

im SPL and thanks for creating this wiki!

i wanted to ask you a question, how come most peoples pages aren't protected?

--Super paper luigi 17:53, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

You're welcome, and they're unprotected so people can edit them. --Steve (talk)

18:15, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Hello Porplemontage

Can you help me put a logo on the Paper mario wiki? this is what i did so far [1]

Thanks

--Super mario97 11:47, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

You're welcome. The trick was to put the image URL on this page. You can remove the image from the MediaWiki:Sidebar page now. --Steve (talk)

14:44, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Smileys

On the chat, we lost a lot of smileys. Can you put the ones that aren't on anymore back on? ^Plumber 16:51, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

All your old favorites should be there now. --Steve (talk)

19:09, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Thanks about the paper mario wiki

--Super mario97 15:39, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

20:43, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

hey did you know sos is leaving?

--Super paper luigi 22:42, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

Yes, I've heard. I've also noticed other users dissatisfied with the site. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to hear everyone out and fix whatever problems people are having. --Steve (talk)

22:57, 17 May 2007 (EDT)

ya, i think max2 left.

Master Crash

Why? --Steve (talk)

Actually I believe hes staying.

Xzelion^ETC

He is staying...blocked, though. ^Plumber 23:06, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

First Users

Who were the first users here besides you? ^Plumber 23:06, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

Most of them aren't here any more. A man more recently in the news, A Link to the Past, was the fourth user here. After him was Ghost Jam. --Steve (talk)

19:17, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

Oh. Were Hk, Agentseethroo, and Son of Suns earlly users too?

^Plumber

00:35, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

HK joined after me, in June. Son of Suns was April, and Agentseethroo was very early, but dropped out...even I never saw him edit. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 10:43, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

I worked with him on GamerFocus, which ended up having a wiki network, this being one of the wikis. The only other wiki that made it out was Halopedia, which I moved to Wikia after I couldn't host it anymore. --Steve (talk)

Nope, can't say that I do. --Steve (talk)

Sortable Tables

This is something DPL offers that makes a table of a certain class able to be sorted, ascending or descending, by any column (see the first example here). Wa _T^C_@^Y 13:02, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Another unrelated issue. I'm trying to finally get around to listing the smiley codes, but when I try to directly paste the image url, like http://www.mariowiki.com/img/sourire.gif, I get "". Wa _T^C_@^Y 13:20, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Use the <nowiki> tags like in Help:Icon. And I'm not sure the table sorting extension is worth the trouble. --Steve (talk)

15:02, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

DPL can only organize to a certain extent. On my test page, the user can select to have the episodes in order of production, who wrote them, what the song was, the Log #, etc., ascending or descending. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 16:22, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

And also, not what I meant on the smilies. When I type the full url of an external image, I'm supposed to get the image. When I type http://www.mariowiki.com/img/sourire.gif, I get "sourire.gif". No image appearing. Wa

_T^C_@^Y 16:46, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

That means that no image exists at that location. --Steve (talk)

18:26, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Then what does

param name="style:smiley1" value=":) img/sourire.gif

mean? Wa

_T^C_@^Y 18:29, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

All the images are /irc/img/. So that one is here: http://www.mariowiki.com/irc/img/sourire.gif

. --Steve (talk)

18:45, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

I thought it was a difference in the link url. Thanks Wa

_T^C_@^Y 19:26, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

No problem. --Steve (talk)

19:28, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

More Help

What does , edit the code, and add this text, replacing the name and caption appropriately mean?

Petey_Piranha

It means to add the image code to the page using actual information to display an image. So for example you would use:

[[Image:MP8Mario.png|thumb|It's Mario!]]

To display the image on the right:

It's Mario!

Because we're using Image:MP8Mario.png for the image and "It's Mario!" for the caption. --Steve (talk)
