Template:CollapsibleBox

For some reason, the color part of the template will not work. Do you know why? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 06:59, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

Try now. Two {s are a template. Three {s are for parameters. You only had two around color. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 07:02, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

How stupid am I? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:04, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

Golden Homer

Please vote in the June Golden Homer Awards. /AleWi 13:44, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

Decoding

Outerhaven has told me that he has given you the guide to decoding the images from the Tapped Out files. Would you be able to:

• Decode a colour image of the Hal Roach Apartments?
• Decode colour images of the Snowmen (non-melted)?
• Confirm if Hailstone's is in the game files and/or the sound files?

Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 01:36, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

It'll take time. I need to find the things first. Hailstone's is in the files, Cook has confirmed it. I'll try and find the others. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 03:32, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

I can't find the Hal Roach Apartments image anywhere... Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 04:07, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

Wiki History

This place moved from Wikia? I'm not surprised, a lot of wikis have done that. In fact, the only good wikis I know that haven't are the Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls wikis... How long ago was this? - TidusTehSacrificer357 02:24, 8 July 2013 (EDT)

We moved to ShoutWiki in November 2010. We became independent sometime mid-2011. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 03:21, 8 July 2013 (EDT)

Crime Spree, Die Bart Die and Cuff 'Em Boys

Can you find the dialogue for these quests? The quests themselves were found in the game files in December last year. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 13:30, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

All three are on User:Cook879/Game files at the moment - none have dialogue.--Cook879 16:52, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Hi

Could you reply on the message I sent you? FatHomer^Talk 16:19, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Oh, sorry. I did reply earlier but my Internet died shortly after I sent the reply, or so I thought. It mustn't have gotten through. The Solar Dragon 16:20, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Thanks! :) FatHomer^Talk 16:51, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Uter Zorker image

Something's messed up with the image on Uter Zorker's article. At first I thought the issue was related to whether the umulauts were included in the file name, but on second glance the issue looks more complicated than that. -- Mythigator 13:28, 11 August 2013 (EDT)

Yeah, it's not that. We had the same problem with the Richard Dean Anderson article and file earlier. Just emailed Jake about it again. Hopefully we won't have to keep emailing him every time we notice one of these and one change can stop it from happening... The Solar Dragon 13:30, 11 August 2013 (EDT)

So it seems like the issue has to do with character encodings. Any files that had special characters in their names were not correctly encoded during the transfer to the new server. The solution to this is simply to re-upload the image. If anyone knows of any other images with special characters, please email me a list and I'll see to it that they're repaired. --Jake 22:11, 11 August 2013 (EDT)

Homer the Moe on Channel 4

Homer the Moe gets a lot of cuts on Channel 4. They cut out Homer's blood spurting out of his hand, him running for oxygen and swearing when he gets caught in the bear trap, as well as what the models say to Moe. Maybe you could add? Homer to the Max 18:07, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Oh, and also the bit at the dinner table when Homer shoves it into Lisa's mouth. Homer to the Max 18:09, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

I'll get onto adding them. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 18:14, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Hey

User:Phinbart is working on a page here. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 18:31, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Well you could add them there Homer to the Max 18:38, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

You could add them there too. I have other stuff to be getting on with, have you seen my to-do list? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 18:42, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Hey

What does "auto-patrolled" mean? Homer to the Max 18:38, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Admins and rollbacks see a little exclamation mark next to non-autopatrolled users in recent changes. These exclamation marks show that the edit hasn't been checked. If a user is autopatrolled, it means that the user is trusted enough to not go about vandalising pages or making stupid edits. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 18:41, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Template:E

The template will not accept "+" and "=". Is there a way to fix this? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:18, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

No idea... The Solar Dragon 09:26, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

I'll ask Jake. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:32, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

Just to let you know...

SNPP.com - Contacts - The correct address (well, it links to the .net site) is there. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:37, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

DVD boxset art

On my The Simpsons distribution in the UK and Ireland user page, I'm putting together a gallery of the DVD boxsets. Is there a way to have a second image related to the Complete First Season "column", so to speak, so that if a viewer presses "Alternate boxset art", the alternate boxset art shows up in the image's space? Do you get what I mean? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:27, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

I think I know what you mean. It would require JavaScript code to do so though. Do you know of anywhere that uses a system like that? If you can find one, I can look at the JavaScript and take it and hopefully get it working. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:14, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

Er, I don't know anywhere that uses a system like that, but the Infosphere has a similar technique, you can see it on the "Robot Santa's Little Helpers" article. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:21, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

Can you test to see what happens if you put an "image2" into the infobox now? Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 10:45, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

I have absolutely no idea how to code it in. I'm baffled. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:11, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

What exactly are you trying to do? Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 11:15, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

I'm putting the {{#if: thing after the image bit (in the normal infobox: Template:Infobox). I bet I've done something really stupid that could have been fixed really easily. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:17, 26 August 2013 (EDT)

Sorry, went somewhere yesterday so couldn't get on. Er, do you think the code would have to be changed or will something else have to be done? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 07:40, 28 August 2013 (EDT)

MediaWiki Upgrade

Hey Solar. Just wanted to let you know that we've upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki. I'm aware that some of the SocialProfile features are broken at the moment and I'm looking into it. Special:ReplaceText is also working again. Please let me know if you encounter any issues while using the site. Thanks! --Jake 22:03, August 28, 2013 (EDT)

DVD boxsets

Hi, just wondering whether we should re-name DVD boxsets past Season 10 "The ..... Season" and not "The Complete .... Season", because the former is listed on the DVD boxsets. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:19, August 29, 2013 (EDT)

Creation of my user page

Hi - for some reason I am unable to create my user page. I click on my name and I get the "D'oh this page doesn't exist" message. I click the link to start it and it bounces me back to the "does not exist" page. Is this just me or...--Boston Burkenation (talk) 14:33, August 29, 2013 (EDT)

We're having some problems with the user pages and social user pages since the latest MediaWiki update. Can I ask you to bare with us whilst we look into fixing the problem? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:48, August 29, 2013 (EDT)

I created a userpage for you by creating a mainspace page and moving it to the userspace. You should be able to edit it now. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:51, August 29, 2013 (EDT)

I was fine with waiting - I was just curious if I had gone crazy and it had decided to ban from editing my own userpage or something like that. Thank you though for creating it on my behalf. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 16:11, August 29, 2013 (EDT)

I didn't want to add another new section here but I just added you on The Simpsons: Tapped out. my Origin name is "Burke Nation. Kind of like my username here but without "Boston" --Boston Burkenation (talk) 01:26, August 31, 2013 (EDT)

Table and CollapsibleBox

Jake seems to be busy, so I'll ask you this. Why does the CollapsibleBox template not work alongside the Table template? I'm trying to collapse the tables on the Simpsons distribution page and I'm unable to because of this and because the "collapsible=yes" feature on the table no longer works. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 10:06, August 31, 2013 (EDT)
