User talk:Aquatiki

Hi. Welcome. It's fantastic to see you here to help. Thanks! By the way I've tried to make you a sysop and bureaucrat. I sort of got mixed up. I hope it worked. --Graham grove 22:58, 16 July 2008 (PDT)

Yeah, it worked. I have to say, I think that's a bit much authority out of the gate. I'll try not to abuse my position! --Aquatiki 04:34, 17 July 2008 (PDT)

Being not the most technical person and not knowing exactly how much access you need to work your magic, I thought I'd better give you full authority. --Graham grove 11:15, 17 July 2008 (PDT)

Hi Robert,

See the answer to your question on my userpage. Thanks.

Greek

Hi Robert. Remember how we were talking about having or not having individual pages for each individual word and each inflected form? I thought you might be interested at taking a look at wiktionary, where it seems that is exactly how they are doing it. For example, take a look at logos:

• logos
• logou
• logoi

Cheers. --Graham grove 13:34, 18 July 2008 (PDT)

And with all the vast resources (I'm not being sarcastic) of the Wikipedia/Wiktionary community, they've made 128 of them (click on the category). The GNT alone would require 100000. I still don't think it's a wise plan. :-( --Aquatiki 13:42, 18 July 2008 (PDT)

PS The extension "Character Escapes", that I wrote about on the Village Pump, is the way to insert characters onto an edit page.

True, they do have very vast resources (still, I guess they're thinking big). Cool, I look forward to Character Escapes being installed. Thanks. --Graham grove 13:47, 18 July 2008 (PDT)

The extensions, Character Escapes and ParserFunctions were installed. --Prab 02:20, 19 July 2008 (PDT)

Hey Robert. Prab's happy to give you the access you need to do some further modifications to WikiChristian. Give him an email about it. Thanks. --Graham grove 09:47, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Project namespace

HI Robert (I see that's your name). I was wondering, what should our project namespace be? I personally like just "WikiChristian". Almost all wikis have project namespace that way. God bless you, Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:35, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Thanks Ryan. I am for "WikiChristian", because as you say, every wiki I've seen does that. I think the previous system of WikiChristian dot org implied that somewhere out there was a WikiChristian dot com or dot net. P.S. Does the † and the "Cross" in you name make you Ryan++? ;-P Aquatiki 06:39, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Um, I don't know. Just RyanCross. The actual cross in my sig is just for decor, and it shows a cross because my username has "Cross" i it. ;) Anyway, if the project namespace should be "WikiChristian", then why did you do this. :P Thanks, Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Ah, I see your question. Using Project: is a trick I picked up after learning about Magic words. I always write {{SITENAME}} instead of WikiChristian and Project: instead of WikiChristian: because if they're ever changed in the future, those links and that name will still display/work correctly. You can see that the links on Help:Content work now and they will still work if we ever change the wiki variable $wgSitename. --Aquatiki 06:57, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Problem with a page

Hi again. Is it me, or is there a problem with User:RyanCross/Topbar? God bless, Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:28, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Do you need help picking a different color? What would you like help with? --Aquatiki 08:39, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Well, on my screen, it seems the tabs at the top and the navigation bar on the right seems different from other pages. Can you see it? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:41, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

OK, I did some work. You had two <div>'s you never closed and about six <font>'s that never closed. I put everything on separate lines for easier reading. Now what do you think? --Aquatiki 08:52, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Yup, it's fixed now. Thank you very much. :) -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:53, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

<-- Hehe, now I have another problem with a page. :P It seems Special:Emailuser isn't working, and it says there's no such page as Special:Emailuser. Do you know what the problem may be? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 09:26, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

I see that. Where did it go?!?! When was the last time you saw it? Maybe it's time to upgrade to mediawiki 1.13... --Aquatiki 09:33, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Yup... we need an upgrade. I've never used the email feature here, so I wouldn't know when the last time I saw it... -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 09:36, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

'Works on my my wiki, but I'm not sure what version number that comes with. I've never seen it work here either. Did you just copy stuff from another mediawiki site? --Aquatiki 09:58, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Did I copy stuff? No, I just noticed it didn't work. Trust me, I'm bad at installing extensions and features. I just know how to use them. :) -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 10:01, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

<-- Hi there. Is my user page color better than before? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 13:08, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

A tiny bit. What about "lightseagreen" or the color of the border? --Aquatiki 13:12, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Done. Look again. I think I might try brown. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 13:33, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Actually, I meant this (free free to revert) --Aquatiki 13:36, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
