Revision as of 16:37, December 20, 2011
[20:10:33] <Solar_Dragon> And meeting is to start now! [20:10:50] <Phinbart> New template code. [20:10:54] <AleWi> no Next editor meeting [20:11:02] =-= AleWi was booted from #wikisimpsons by YOU (AleWi) [20:11:02] -->| AleWi (~chatzilla@83.251.68.197) has joined #wikisimpsons [20:11:25] <Solar_Dragon> Okay then, everyone has seen my new code. We just need to implement it on all tables [20:11:33] <Smiley12> I havent seen it [20:11:37] <Phinbart> That is going to be hard. [20:11:37] <AleWi> I have [20:11:55] <AleWi> It's little hard to use if you are new on it [20:11:56] <Cook879> If someone makes a list I may start... [20:11:56] <Doh5678> The code is good, a simpler way to make tables without all the code [20:12:16] <Solar_Dragon> Smiley12: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Pokemon [20:12:21] <Solar_Dragon> Press edit on that to see what I did [20:12:53] <Smiley12> I see what you did [20:13:09] <Solar_Dragon> Basically, it cuts down on a lot of code, makes it simpler to set up tables and looks good :P [20:13:23] <AleWi> I think the code before was easier [20:13:34] <Phinbart> Me too. [20:13:35] <AleWi> It the same they use on Wikpiedia [20:13:46] <Solar_Dragon> http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Template:Table <- That might help AleWi [20:14:03] <Phinbart> I prefer the old one. [20:14:12] <Smiley12> yep, I like the new one better [20:14:24] <Smiley12> only problem is the process of turning all old ones into hte new one [20:14:37] <Doh5678> A mountain of random letters and numbers and symbols, that's better? [20:14:54] <AleWi> When it's colspan and rowspan it's harder [20:15:00] <Solar_Dragon> Yeah, but if we ever decide to change the table style again, it will also mean 1 change rather than hundreds [20:15:09] <Phinbart> Huh? That's an easy part for me. [20:15:22] <Phinbart> The colspan and rowspan thing [20:15:27] <AleWi> If you use the template in the menu is the old system [20:15:28] <Solar_Dragon> Col and Rowspans are fairly simple with the new template too [20:15:40] <Smiley12> Solar_Dragon, will this new table template fit other differnt table designs as well? [20:15:54] <Solar_Dragon> What do you mean other different table designs? [20:16:00] <Phinbart> Are you doing the log, Solar? [20:16:18] <Solar_Dragon> I will update it every 10 minutes or so Phinbart [20:16:22] <Solar_Dragon> It's only been 6 [20:16:34] <Phinbart> OK. [20:16:35] <AleWi> In the edit menu is still the old table [20:16:36] <Cook879> Like: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/List_of_episodes_by_production_code ? [20:16:54] <Cook879> how would the colours work? [20:16:58] <Solar_Dragon> Oh god >_> [20:17:16] <Doh5678> Shit [20:17:18] <Solar_Dragon> Well, I could make a slight change to the table, add one more parameter which allows you to change colours too [20:17:32] <Doh5678> Do that [20:17:34] <AleWi> Should we have it on http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/List_of_episodes too? [20:17:41] <Doh5678> With the code? [20:17:44] <Smiley12> Solar_Dragon, not all tables are those grid shapes, some are more complex (Ive seen them on the wiki, cant remember any) [20:18:12] <Cook879> that one uses eptable AleWi [20:18:12] <AleWi> We have eptable there now [20:18:13] <Solar_Dragon> All tables are basically grids Smiley12... [20:19:08] <Cook879> Could eptable be used on production, or a different version? [20:19:27] <Smiley12> meh [20:20:56] <Solar_Dragon> Basically, we need to try and get this out on all table articles though [20:21:18] <Solar_Dragon> For those of you not that confident with the code, I would suggest copying to a user subpage and editing there [20:21:26] -->| UnknownFork (~Eoin@unaffiliated/unknownfork) has joined #wikisimpsons [20:21:32] <AleWi> Hi UnknownFork [20:21:33] <Phinbart> Hi, UnknownFork! [20:21:34] <Solar_Dragon> So if you make a mistake, it wouldn't be seen by many people [20:21:36] <AleWi> YOUR LATE!!! [20:21:37] <UnknownFork> Hi [20:22:00] <Cook879> As I said, make a list and i'll do some now [20:22:07] <AleWi> I'm usually copy an article when I creating a new [20:22:26] <Solar_Dragon> Cook879, there's a list on the Cultural references template basically :P [20:23:28] <Cook879> I notice that AleWi - I do the same [20:23:49] <AleWi> I take a smilar article [20:24:02] <Solar_Dragon> I had to do that with the normal table code. However, with the new templates, I don't have to :P [20:24:15] <AleWi> *smilar , [20:24:33] <Solar_Dragon> Although http://simpsonswiki.net/w/index.php?title=First_Church_of_Springfield_marquee&action=edit <- That did get confusing [20:25:12] <AleWi> The season list is not good [20:25:32] <Solar_Dragon> What do you mean? [20:25:35] <Phinbart> Shall we move onto the next subject? [20:25:42] <Doh5678> Not yet [20:25:58] <AleWi> They should be a line on the right side too [20:26:10] <Solar_Dragon> You mean like the timeline template? [20:26:24] <AleWi> at the the first column [20:26:47] <Solar_Dragon> Oh right, I see [20:26:48] <UnknownFork> at the the first column [20:27:40] <Solar_Dragon> Yeah, but there's one problem with having the seasons column first, the rowspans make the code get incredibly confusing [20:27:58] <Solar_Dragon> See the Marquee article for instance [20:28:00] <AleWi> It was so before [20:28:07] <UnknownFork> It was so before [20:28:14] <Solar_Dragon> No, this had me stumped for a bit before I created a workaround [20:28:18] <AleWi> UknownFork is a dork [20:28:21] =-= UnknownFork was booted from #wikisimpsons by YOU (stop repeating) [20:28:53] <Solar_Dragon> I had to introduce Template:TableBodyBottom as well which can make things even more confusing [20:28:59] -->| UnknownFork (~Eoin@unaffiliated/unknownfork) has joined #wikisimpsons [20:29:04] <UnknownFork> kk' [20:30:16] <Solar_Dragon> So, yeah, the tables mainly need to be changed on the cultural references template pages [20:30:29] <Solar_Dragon> The TV shows and movies that have been references to in the show [20:31:29] <Solar_Dragon> Okay now, I think it's time to move on now if everyone's satisfied with what we have to do [20:31:35] <Phinbart> Song infoboxes [20:31:47] <Phinbart> brb [20:31:48] <AleWi> I have ad it on two pages [20:31:51] <AleWi> *add [20:32:19] <Doh5678> Is this for fictional or real songs?
