Flag of Selangor

Tech 13, please look at my sandbox – I think this is what the editor at Template talk:Country data Selangor is talking about, to add the pre 1965 flag as a variant. The problem is either my eyes or something else, but I cannot get the variant flag icon at the bottom of the documentation to appear in the lighter yellow of the older flag. What am I doing wrong? – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 04:38, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I got it. The icon was not appearing correctly because it isn't actually created until the variant is added to the live template. Happy Holidays and New Year, too, Technical 13! Joys! – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 06:52, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearing teahouse messages and talk

Hi Don -

You mentioned that you thought I was working on an old version, had done something, and then hit save. If I made any changes, it was without my knowledge, and I know I didn't hit save anywhere. However, another editor mentioned that if I left the screen it would automatically delete anything highlighted? Again, I'm not aware of having highlighted anything.

Also, the other editor suggested that even if the text was gone from the teahouse, it would still be on my Talk page, but it wasn't.

Shortly after this I saw a "menu/directory" doc in my Talk. I'm wondering if this arriving could have deleted the dialogue - in both locations? Or, once it was deleted in my Talk, it propagated to the teahouse?

Outside of a few small edits, this is my first time here, and I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling - au contraire.

One other question. I was interested in creating a bio of an artist who came to this country from Norway. They've digitized all of their census data going back over a century. I mentioned using this to document birth and family data, and was told that government data is not acceptable. If not the original source, just where are you supposed to get this data?

thanks, Charles

Template:Infobox VG

Your edit to Template:Infobox VG has broken the layout. I don't know how or why, but please fix right away. There doesn't seem to be a revert button on the history page.--Matthew Proctor (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Matt, I've temporarily reverted the edit... Can you tell me exactly what was broken about it, or give me a link to a page that it is broken on so I can see what you mean and fix it? Thanks Technical 13 (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- When you changed the template, you took out the dummy pipe/parameter | preceding the if statement which was needed to keep the infobox stable (here). I've put it back underneath the main template {{alternating rows table section}} here and put the includeonlys outside if you really wanted that.

Comment at Template talk:Crocodilia

Could you please explain your reply to Template talk:Crocodilia. Did you turn down the change because you're uncertain about the result? I believe I explained it clearly in my comment, but if you're in doubt feel free to ask. However, with your extensive editing experience I doubt this simple modification should cause confusion. In its current form there is a link to the article itself in Crocodylus suchus, a "self-redirect", which is in conflict with the guidelines →Wikipedia:Redirect#Self-redirects. Changing a piped link to avoid this matter is basic wiki editing; nothing like the complex issues usually dealt with under WP:TESTCASES.
* [[Desert crocodile|Desert crocodile (''C. suchus'')]] → * [[Crocodylus suchus|Desert crocodile (''C. suchus'')]]
Normally, I would have done this myself, but someone indef semi-protected this template. (I might add that this choice was rather questionable; the edit history reveals that the template only ever was vandalized by a single editor over a period of three weeks -- usually not enough for an indef)
Regards, 62.107.218.9 (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to see what the change looked like compared to the live template and if there was any good reason to do so... As far as changing the link goes, it "may" require a consensus, but I would be willing to change it and gain consensus by being BOLD. So, if you could put your requested change in the /sandbox for that template and give me a /testcases, I would be happy to look it over again and process the request for you. Happy editing!

Lua print

Hi T13. :) About this edit - the print function won't work, as it has been disabled in Scribunto; the reasoning being that it would encourage the writing of better code.[2] You'll need to insert that value into something that is called from the export method if you want that text to actually be output. I've changed it to mw.log for now, which will just log it to the debug console. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 15:31, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Stradivarius, thanks. I currently know extremely little about Lua (and probably should have picked an easier target to learn on). That being said, what I'm trying to build the "hidden" feature that will hide the box if hidden=yes (by adding class="infobox editsection" which contains only { display: none; } (for now, we can make a special class later once it is working)). Once that works, I want to have it check and only apply if the template is not called from inside multiple issues. Any ideas on helping me get the first part working (once I see where I need to be, I think I can get the second (and third and fourth ..) parts done without much help. Thanks! Technical 13 (talk) 15:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, your code was working fine: classes added with the addClass method are all output in the export method, so there wasn't any problem with it. I've used yesno with it as well, so "hidden=no" won't hide the box. Did the "infobox editsection" class not turn up when you tested it? Did you test it in the debug console or via #invoke? — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 02:18, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After I changed {{Orphan/sandbox}} to use {{Ambox/sandbox}} I see a script error: Lua error in Module:HtmlBuilder at line 41: attempt to concatenate field 'val' (a nil value).
Any suggestions on who would be good to ask for help with the issue I reported at Template talk:Orphan#Testing? Thanks, Wbm1058 (talk) 16:35, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On your first point, it looks like my attempt to switch Module:Message box/sandbox to use Module:Arguments caused the script error... although I'm not quite sure why. I've reverted it to the old argument code, so it is working for now, at least. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 18:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
First part of that puzzle solved - I've managed to reproduce the error in my module sandbox. Still needs some more sleuthing to work out why Module:Arguments was triggering it though. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 18:39, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I've switched back to the script error version for now so that other Lua types can take a look at it. Feel free to switch it back when you want to work on the template, though. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 19:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It should be fixed now - there was a nasty bug in Module:Arguments which meant that sometimes nil arguments weren't getting returned correctly. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 06:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent tweaks to {{EP/doc}} have apparently led to what my browser, IE10, shows as a glitch on the Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests page.

Steamtown

The article went through the FA review you nominated it for and the out come was that it was fine the way it was. I didn't really understand the outcome of the so-call dispute resolution and now the article is scheduled to e on the front page. I really believe that you should leave it as it was when it was FA reviewed so that it can appear as it was when it was FA reviewed on the front page. Can you at least do that, please.--Ishtar456 (talk) 00:20, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ishtar456, I'm sorry, the consensus was that the article was too wordy and bloated. That was what was the majority consensus on the talk page and then again in the DRN final decision. I will continue to trim and WP:SPINOUT sections as is reasonable. There should be no information in the Steamtown article about the engines that isn't related to Steamtown itself. I will be as conservative as I can in my trimming, but there are technical specs about the engines that belong on the engines own pages. Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 00:27, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not understand that to be the consensus especially after the re-FA review that you nominated it for. Could you please go to the articles talk page and look at the results of that review? It has been decided that it be featured on Thursday and I was asked to prepare it for that occasion. Please have a heart and stop what you are doing. The reason I wrote the article as I did was that there is not enough information on the individual locomotives to really establish an article for each. People who are into this, like myself, would really like to know the other stuff that you think it not related. I work two jobs and I really do not have time for this. --Ishtar456 (talk) 00:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ishtar, done... See Talk:Steamtown, U.S.A.#Trimming down the bloat of this article. Technical 13 (talk) 01:15, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"some bloat" is not specific. It certainly is not specific to the stuff you are chopping out. You are also disregarding everything else that was said. You are disregarding the opinions of the GA reviewers and the FA reviewers and those who decided to feature it. you are disregarding the suggestion that there be discussion on the talk page about what, if anything, should be discarded and therefore I have asked an administrator if it can be withdrawn from being featured it is was planned for this Thursday. I am not really sure if you know what that means, but it is certainly not the out come I wanted, but if there is an editor war-or attack-as I see it, then it really should not be featured. You sure have a strange way of having fun. Take care, --Ishtar456 (talk) 01:29, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New proposals at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2014

Hello. Several new proposals have been submitted at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2014 since you last commented on it. You are invited to return to comment on the new proposals. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:14, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because

Yes, you can begin a sentence with "because".

"Because" heads up subordinate clauses, which means if you have a clause that starts with "because," you must also have a main clause in your sentence. A main clause is something that could be a complete sentence by itself. The main clause can come first or last; if it comes last, you need a comma.

    Because Squiggly woke up late, he had to postpone the fishing trip. (subordinate clause first, note the comma)
    Squiggly had to postpone the fishing trip because he woke up late. (subordinate clause second, no comma needed)
    Because he woke up late. (sentence fragment)

Ishtar, thank you for taking the time to leave me this message, and I really don't want to sound like a bitch... But, I researched it as soon as it was reverted based on the comment the reverter left. I would think this was evident in the fact that I didn't start a new section on the talk page and ping the reverter to discuss it. Anyways, I'll leave it at that and wish you well. Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't see that it had been reversed. I wasn't going to. And, yes, I know you do not discuss your edits.--Ishtar456 (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No need to be sorry, Ishtar, and you apparently have a misconception about me. I am happy to discuss any edit of mine with anyone on the talk page when there is a need to do so. If I make an edit, and someone disagrees with that and reverts me with a quick note in the edit summary of why they disagree, I'm happy to research and see if I can see their point of view on it. If I can, then nothing else needs to be done. However, if I don't see their side of it or I disagree with their opinion, I take it to the talk page and ping them to try and discuss it. This is what is known as the BOLD, REVERT, DISCUSS flow process that is used as one method of developing CONSENSUS on Wikipedia. Hopefully I can change your misconceptions about me sometime, but now is not the time as we are apparently both too busy. Again, I wish you well. Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 23:09, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier I undid some really old, possible vandalism to the article and inadvertently created a redundant line. Rather than remove the redundancy, you reverted my edit, which I reverted then realized the redundant line and removed it-it is gone. Your reversal puts in information that is different from what was intended. There was also a quote in there, can you please reverse you last edit.Thanks.--Ishtar456 (talk) 00:24, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

it was not an incomplete sentence, there was a comma, not a period. I will fix it if you will let me. --Ishtar456 (talk) 00:27, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template edit

Im not quite sure why you want to keep and revert Template:My-HiME character, there is also Template:My-HiME so the characters are accessable via those two links. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:22, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kk87 and thanks for stopping by my talk page to discuss it. I followed just some of the links in one section, and although many of them seem to be redirect to the same couple pages, many of them are section links that takes the reader to a specific section of the page. I believe that many of those sections could be {{R with possibilities}} and think that it is appropriate at this time to leave the extra template, or very least properly merge it into the other template (I think I'll note that it should be better merged to the other template). Before I do that though (since we have a few days to work on this), I'll like to get an opinion from a fellow Wikipedian that has a much greater depth of knowledge of anime and mange styles than I could ever think of.. Chris, do you think any of those section have possibility in becoming their own article making the redirects and existing content of the template up for deletion a worthwhile time investment to improve/merge? Thanks! Technical 13 (talk) 23:32, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way that these redirects will become articles in the near future, in fact I merged/redirected them as the pages had little/no sources and each had a PROD stamp on them. Anime/manga chatacter articles are hard to keep as articles with the exception of Sailor Moon (character) sailor moon characters maybe, and even those are in trouble. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kk87 that may well be your belief, and I hope you don't take this personally, but I would still prefer to get some feedback from Chris on the topic first. Thanks for your patience, as there is no rush on this issue. Technical 13 (talk) 23:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimate integration would be the goal for such a work. Very few series could possibly support or warrant a separate template for characters. Those that can, are not something that currently do. The main issue is that even 20-25 characters having articles does not warrant a separate template for navigation. Few series can and do push that barrier, but A&M is struggling to awaken itself and it is undergoing some reformation. At this time, redirecting the template to keep attribution fulfills a purpose, The easy task of integrating character articles into the franchise template can always come later. I'll admit to being outclassed by the sheer amount of work needed for even the most notable of series to become proper encyclopedic articles. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:25, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've started merging the characters template into Template:My-HiME/sandbox which is just a sandbox of the regular template. I would like to break the HiME characters into different groups like the Otome, but have no idea how such a thing would be done. I also do not know where to put the rest of the groups and characters listed on Template:My-HiME character. I believe it is also possible to collapse the character sections, and would be happy to make a version of the sandbox that shows what that would look like once the rest of the characters have been added to the template. Once all of the characters are there, we can go through and fix the redirects to point to exactly where that character is located on the main list page (some of them are quite long to be just a page section and offer enough sources to become stub or start class articles from what I am seeing). Let's work together on this project and make a nice, easy to use, comprehensive navbox. :) Technical 13 (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the education

I honestly thought I was doing the right thing here.

I don't remember the situation, but at least once in the past I was actually told to use "editprotect" to request corrections to incorrect padlocks. I was also told that a bot usually does the job, which is obviously not happening (or not happening in a timely manner) now. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:54, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those that can, are not something that currently do. The main issue is that even 20-25 characters having articles does not warrant a separate template for navigation. Few series can and do push that barrier, but A&M is struggling to awaken itself and it is undergoing some reformation. At this time, redirecting the template to keep attribution fulfills a purpose, The easy task of integrating character articles into the franchise template can always come later. I'll admit to being outclassed by the sheer amount of work needed for even the most notable of series to become proper encyclopedic articles.

 ::::* I've started merging the characters template into [[Template:My-HiME/sandbox]] which is just a sandbox of the regular template.  I would like to break the HiME characters into different groups like the Otome, but have no idea how such a thing would be done.  I also do not know where to put the rest of the groups and characters listed on [[:Template:My-HiME character]].  I believe it is also possible to collapse the character sections, and would be happy to make a version of the sandbox that shows what that would look like once the rest of the characters have been added to the template.  Once all of the characters are there, we can go through and fix the redirects to point to exactly where that character is located on the main list page (some of them are quite long to be just a page section and offer enough sources to become stub or start class articles from what I am seeing).  Let's work together on this project and make a nice, easy to use, comprehensive navbox.  :) [[User:Technical 13|Technical 13]] ([[User talk:Technical 13#top|talk]]) 14:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
+== Thanks for the education ==
+I honestly thought I was doing the right thing here.
+I don't remember the situation, but at least once in the past I was actually told to use "editprotect" to request corrections to incorrect padlocks.  I was also told that a bot usually does the job, which is obviously not happening <small>(or not happening in a timely manner)</small> now.
