</table>Gruenberg2http://archive.nswiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Gruenberg2/Archives/December_2005&diff=131249&oldid=prevGruenberg2 at 01:33, 8 January 20062006-01-08T01:33:32Z<p></p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== New Preview Template ==<br />
<br />
I made a new one. It looks like:<br />
<br />
{{Preview2test}}<br />
<br />
I know the wording is fuzzy, so you can change that all you want, but how's the aesthetic aspect? The template is at [[Template:Preview2test]] <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 01:20, December 2, 2005 (GMT)<br />
: Changes look good. I added the sentence about noticing that the user had actually caused a problem; otherwise it seems a little ambiguous why the message was sent. Otherwise, looks good. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 03:25, December 2, 2005 (GMT)<br />
:Why aren't the testing templates we have sufficient? You could probably modify one of them to cover this type of preview-testing. --[[<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>User:Pacitalia|<font color="navy">Paci</font>]][[User_talk:Pacitalia|<font color="green">'''talk'''</font>]][[User:Pacitalia|<font color="red">ia</font>]] 05:21, 2 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
==Welcome Template==<br />
I looked at the page (with the old welcome template), and it doesn't look obvious that they're being "templated". On the edit page, it doesn't show the pagename variable. Am I missing something? <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 02:24, December 3, 2005 (GMT)<br />
:Oh. It does. :) The problem appears to stem from using nested templates. An obvious solution would be to variablize the <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>s, and then just have the code look like <nowiki>{{Welcome|{{subst:pagename}}}}</nowiki>. But's that probably not viable, as the template is already in such widespread use. It would probably be best to ask [[User:Goobergunch|Goober]]; I know he did some stuff with nested templates on the nation infobox, so he might know. On the other hand, that was with a previous version of NSwiki. I guess I don't really know what to do here, but maybe I've sparked some ideas... <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 02:43, December 3, 2005 (GMT)<br />
==Requesting Admin Assistance==<br />
Again. :)<br />
The problem is [[:Category:Languages/Ri'Hannsu/B]] and [[:Category:Languages/Ri'Hannsu/A]]. Both of them contain no pages and the content seems to belong on an article page. I can't move categories. Do admins have the power to do that? Or will it have to be a c+p job? You might also want to check out [[:Category:Languages/Ri'Hannsu]], which I can't make any sense of. Thanks. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 03:55, December 4, 2005 (GMT)<br />
:OK. I don't think he'll respond, seeing has he has only edited on one day way back in October. But it's worth a try. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 04:08, December 4, 2005 (GMT)<br />
=="Requesting deletion" discussion==<br />
Why does this take place in [[User talk:F2B#Requesting deletion|my discussion space]]? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. --[[User:F2B|F2B]] 05:52, 6 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
:Oh, I see now. It took a while because there wasn't any specific mention of the empty category that was being discussed and it's been a while! --[[User:F2B|F2B]] 06:01, 6 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
==Listing Templates?==<br />
On [[NSwiki:Info boxes]], there is a list of basic templates. However, I wanted to bounce off a sysop the idea of making another or the same page for other, more advanced templates that would be of use for advanced users, like [[Template:Infobox Country P|Infobox Country P]] for [[PEEL]] nations, [[Template:Infobox WS Nation|Infobox WS Nation]] for a Wikipedia-styled box, [[Template:River|River]] for rivers, [[Template:School|School]] for schools, and other templates. This would save people having to find them through [[Special:Allpages]] or through other pages. Just a thought. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 23:43, December 8, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
* I'm not a sysop, but I wanted to say that eventually I was going to start making some schools / universities, and think that there is a basic need for a template / info box for them, so in general feel having some sort of page pointing to these sorts of tools and perhaps a good example per category might be nice. [[User:Mikitivity|Mikitivity]] 23:51, 8 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
* I support this, probably off of [[NSwiki:Template messages]]. Remind me about this next week if somebody else doesn't do it. --[[User:Goobergunch|Goobergunch]]|[[User talk:Goobergunch|?]] 23:52, 8 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
::Very incomplete start made at [[NSwiki:Advanced Templates]]. I hope it doesn't have to be protected from vandalism, that would prevent non-sysops from adding any new ones... <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 00:37, December 9, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
::: Ok. We'll work from there. I can't see any point protecting it at this stage. Thanks. [[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 00:42, 9 December 2005 (GMT)<br />
==Possible Revision of [[NSwiki:Info boxes]]?==<br />
See [[User_talk:Ceorana#Re:_Notification_of_Page_Move|my talk page]] for details. This was suggested by another user who's name I can't spell, but it's there. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 01:16, December 10, 2005 (GMT)<br />
:Perfect. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 02:15, December 10, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Vandalism Check ==<br />
<br />
I reverted vandalism at [[OPArsenal]]. But the article I reverted it to doesn't look like it belongs in NSwiki, and that was the first or second version. I thought a sysop might want to check it out... <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 19:15, December 11, 2005 (GMT)<br />
==Re:Signing==<br />
Yeah, I guess I forgot to sign it that time...thanks for the reminder. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 05:22, December 12, 2005 (GMT)<br />

== Run Forrest, Run! ==<br />
<br />
Cheers for the deletion, the Sports characters Cat looks ''slighty'' better now. - [[User:Starblaydia|Star]] 14:41, December 13, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
=== Wow, you really are bored ===<br />
<br />
Thanks for the userbox info thingies tip. I was mostly just digging at Commerce Heights for being a big programming geek, the highest form of geekdom. Or should that be lowest... I can never figure that one out. - [[User:Starblaydia|Star]] 16:01, December 21, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Edits to [[Template: MI Nations]] ==<br />
<br />
It seems like both for [[Template: MI Nations]] and my ripoff of it for my region, [[Template: IOABW Nations]], the top heading text used to be centered but it no longer is. I centered it again, but I wanted to tell you in case you intended it to be off to the side. <font color="blue">''[[User:Ceorana|&rarr; Ceo]]\[[User talk:Ceorana|<small>squawk</small>]]''</font> 17:22, December 24, 2005 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Someone Needs a Block ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:Contributions/202.177.185.14]] vandalized three pages today. [[User:Sozy|Sozy]] reverted his [[Sozy|nation page]], and I reverted the other two.

<br />
== [[NSwiki:Info boxes]] and a change of the city infobox ==<br />
[[User:Swilatia|Swilatia]] changed the city infobox to include a field for a flag or image. This has left a lot of pages having a triple curly brace and "flag" on their infobox, but, unfortuneately, all new users who use [[NSwiki:Info boxes]] for it will have the same problem. Could you use your adminly powers to make a note of the new box on the sample code on [[NSwiki:Info boxes]]? The discussion of adding the flag box is on [[NSwiki:Village pump]]. Thanks.

:I ran a few searches, and there appears to be no problem anywhere. Thanks. '''''[[User:Ceorana|<font color="#00CCCC">&rarr; Ceo</font>]] \ [[User talk:Ceorana|<font color="#0066CC">squawk</font>]]''''' 18:43, 28 December 2005 (GMT)<br />

== DOS Jargon ==<br />
<br />
Hello, what does the term 'DOS' mean?<br />
<br />
[[user:Constantina]], December 29th 2005<br />
<br />
:I don't mean to butt in on Gruen's talk page, but Constantina, it means "delete on sight". :) '''''[[User:Ceorana|<font color="#00CCCC">&rarr; Ceo</font>]] \ [[User talk:Ceorana|<font color="#0066CC">squawk</font>]]''''' 16:20, 29 December 2005 (GMT)</div>Gruenberg2
