Table

Can you look at the table at http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Simpsons_Comics AleWi /11:29, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Fixed. Randomno messed something up again >_>

User:Randomno/Sandbox5

Thanks, do you think you might be able to adapt this? I'm not that good at masses of code that aren't self-explanetory. |

New template design

Why do the new templates such as {{Incomplete}} underlap the infobox? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:42, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Example?

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:42, 4 March 2012 (EST)

[1] And I meant new template designs. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:45, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Looks fine to me. What do you mean by "underlap"? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:46, 4 March 2012 (EST)

The right side border of {{Incomplete}} is hidden under the infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:48, 4 March 2012

What device are you using to view Wikisimpsons? How large is your screen? I'll look into it though. The Solar Dragon 09:50, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I'm using Google Chrome. Also, it seems the center of the page stays the same even when the infobox is there. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:51, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Could you upload a screenshot of the error please? I've tried to reproduce it by zooming in but all that happens is that the template goes under the bottom of the infobox, not under the code of the infobox. The Solar Dragon 09:54, 4 March 2012 (EST)

View the error here: File:Template_underlapping_infobox_error.PNG. (I was gonna upload the error image before you even replied). Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:55, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Could you try changing your zoom outwards and see if that does anything please? I'm trying to make a fix for this right now anyway. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 09:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)

On 90% it's alright, but I use 100%. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:01, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Check now please. Has that fixed it? The Solar Dragon 10:04, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Nope. Right border's still 'underlapped'. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:09, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I have no idea why this is happening then. I've not seen this before but Cook gets the same problem so I'm gonna blame Chrome :P I'll keep looking into it though. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:16, 4 March 2012 (EST)

How about putting a "|left", "|center" and "|right" on a template to help it align better. Eg. {{Incomplete|left}} would make the Incomplete template go to the left on the page. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I tried that and Solar might have fixed it. It's definitely right now, though! White-shirt boy#Appearances. As the messagebox template's third parameter is align, I put it as {{{2|center}}}. Now, all you have to do for any template is to add that. Then, on the page you want the aligning, if on the left write "{{<messagebox>|2=}}" and for right just do 2=right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno‎ (talk • contribs) 02:46, 6 March 2012

Next episode templates

Randomno has created a few templates to do with upcoming episodes. Why are they needed? --Fred (Talk) 01:38, 5 March 2012 (EST)

It was supposed to be automatic and change every time a new episode airs. However, they don't seem to have worked. I'll look into it later. The Solar Dragon 02:18, 5 March 2012 (EST)

I don't know if you've fixed it, though I might get it working in a minute. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:30, 5 March 2012 (EST)

Sorry, been at school. If it's still not working, I'll get round to it tonight, after the new episode stuff has been done.

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:06, 5 March 2012 (EST)

They should work now, but I'm not so sure about the hour. But the main problem was the template names (I added ,2012 on to them), so if we last until next year, we won't get any date problems. |

New table prob

Not a problem as in such, but is there a way to have {{TRs}} and {{TCs}} on {{TableBodyTop}}? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:02, 6 March 2012 (EST)

See Template:TableBodyTopColspan and Template:TableBodyTopRowspan. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:03, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Thanks. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:23, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Trying to put TableBodyTopRowspan into the first table on User:Phinbart/Tapped_Out_Sandbox: doesn't work. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:28, 6 March 2012 (EST)

That what you were trying to do? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:30, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Yes. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:30, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Just realized. Didn't put {{TableBodyTop|Build the Flanders House}}, put {{TableBody|Build the Flanders House}} Thanks anyway. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:32, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Down

I noticed ShoutWiki has been down since Saturday. Do you know what the problem is? Orange Ice 19:11, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Something happened to the server. That's all anyone knows. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:38, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Not again! Orange Ice 14:58, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Yeah, I'm afraid so. And, I'm also afraid to say, it might be for good this time. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:59, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Why would it be for good? A downtime is never good. :( Orange Ice 15:42, 8 March 2012 (EST)

By "for good" I mean forever. It might not be coming back... The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:43, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Oh. That's sad. Always thought they had potential if they could find a reliable server. Orange Ice 15:51, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Will there be an officiial announcement about the possible closing up shop? Orange Ice 16:08, 8 March 2012 (EST)

If that is the case, I would guess so via Facebook and Twitter. The Solar Dragon 16:09, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Seems there will be no real competitors for wikia left... Wikkii is ok, but thought that shout could have been better. Orange Ice 11:16, 9 March 2012 (EST)

You can use Wikkii, you can actually customize everything it just takes a little longer, I am willing to help out in any way to oppose wikia. Also Solar there is another independent wiki for That 70's show, people are still opposing wikia, yay! Escyos 21:29, 9 March 2012 (EST)

After the disaster(s) on shoutwiki, I'm wary about using another wikifarm, as the same thing could happen to it... Orange Ice 11:14, 10 March 2012 (EST)

Anything further... Or still the same? Orange Ice 10:06, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

Still the same. The Solar Dragon 13:29, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

What the heck happened to the server anyway? Thought this one was going to be far stabler than the old one. Orange Ice 13:53, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

I just got on to ShoutWiki, logged on, then nothing... |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 04:07, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Has anything changed? Haven't heard any updates from shoutwiki in over two weeks. Orange Ice 13:36, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

The hub has been on and off for the past few days. Not sure what exactly is happening. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:38, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

The Simpsons Mug

Hi, Solar. The Simpsons Mug was probably worthy of an article. Keep in mind that it is after all a merchandise. --Fred (Talk) 02:53, 9 March 2012 (EST)

No, I don't think individual mugs are worthy of an article. If we're going to have a mug article, it will be a list of mugs, similar to the The Simpsons shot glasses.

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 03:40, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Okay. Do you know any good Simpsons merchandise websites that would specialise in this particular area? --Fred (Talk) 03:46, 9 March 2012 (EST)

I'm afraid not. However, I got the list of shot glasses by just Googling "Simpsons Shot Glasses", looking on eBay and Amazon. That is a good starting point. If we're missing the mug I have after that, I'll upload a photo.

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 03:48, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Okay, great. Thanks! --Fred (Talk) 03:50, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Editor meetings

Can you put a notice on the sitenotice about tonight's meeting? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:54, 10 March 2012 (EST)

Never mind, asked Cook879. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:55, 10 March 2012 (EST)

IRC

No idea as I use ChatZilla, not the Freenode gateway :P ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:11, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

I think I've downloaded ChatZilla, what do I do now? |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:24, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

How do I get onto Wikisimpsons channel, then? I'm on ChatZilla now. |

| Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:26, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Type "/server Freenode" Then, once you're connected to Freenode, type "/join #wikisimpsons".

^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 08:31, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Affiliate?

Since we are in need of more allies, you guys should really consider affiliating with our wiki (http://www.khwiki.net/ ). I'm no admin, but KrytenKoro is. UxieLover1994 09:56, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

I'll have to think about this. All of our affiliates so far are either Simpsons-related or are related to The Simpsons in some way. However, I'm pretty sure Kingdom Hearts has never been mentioned on The Simpsons. This is not a definite no yet, I'll discuss it with other admins later. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:58, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Blocking

Thanks for blocking LAITH10! I was just about to come on IRC and suggest you block him/her. Have you also blocked the sockpuppet account 01HTIAL? Also, http://pl.simpsonswiki.net/ is kinda up. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:13, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Yup, both are blocked. And it's a he, I know exactly who the vandal is >_> Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 15:14, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Vandal

I'm sure 136.148.234.21 vandalised The Ren & Stimpy Show. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:39, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Not really... he just listed the plot for the entire clip, including quotes. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:45, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. It seemed a bit rude. Oh, well. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:49, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

The Simpsons Sports Collection Top Trumps

Link please. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:23, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

We only have the image which came from a trusted source here. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:25, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Also: http://www.spiele-offensive.de/Spiel/TOP-TRUMPS-Die-Simpsons-Sports-1011515.html Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:26, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

According to that link it's released in the third quarter of 2012. When's that? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:27, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Seriously? You don't know when the third quarter is? Well, the year is made up of 12 months. 12 divide by 4 = 3. The third quarter would be months 7-9. Which means any time between July - September. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 15:32, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

According to the fiscal year article on Wikipedia it's April 1, 2012 - June 30, 2012. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:36, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

IRC?

Hey, Solar. I was wondering if you were on IRC about 5 or 10 minutes ago? Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:42, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Yes, I was and still am now, You quit just as I was about to send "Hi" to you :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:43, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, I'll go there. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:50, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

For some reason, {{Tapped Out}} appears after the tab outline. Can you fix this? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 16:48, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

The problem is that there's a div in {{Simpsons games}}, so it closes the tab. I'm not sure if I want to remove the div right now, as it will kill all the other pages.--Cook879 16:56, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Maybe I could put the Tapped Out template first. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 17:04, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Previewed it, don't work. Let's wait till Solar and Jake are more active, Cook. They might be this weekend. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 17:06, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

The div tags are no longer needed in templates as we have an extension which fixes the issues caused. The Solar Dragon 17:13, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Meeting

Can you put a notice on the sitenotice about the meeting at 8pm (GMT)? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:57, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Reference page

Hey, would you be able to restore the Godzilla reference page you deleted a while back? I've got more than enough references. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:27, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

I've restored the history, you'll have to go through it to find the references now. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 01:11, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Thank you. :) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:56, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Kind of rude?

" I'm a total and utter dick" and "people who can't take my shit and become friends with the people who can take my shit" from your user page. I don't really care about your language, but some people might. I doesn't sound so nice coming from the head of this wiki. FatHomer^Talk 14:25, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Might remove the first part. The second part is fine though. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:27, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Strange message

At the top and bottom of RecentChanges and edit pages is the message, "Array ( [0] => Rollback )" On file pages its just "Array" on the top and bottom. Why is this happening? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:17, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Not sure, maybe Jake was messing about with something. It seems to have fixed now though so no worries. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:18, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Solar is right; I was just working on something in the code. --Ja ke 15:24, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Golden Homer Award

Do you think you could put a notice reminding everyone to vote for the Golden Homer Award. No-one's voted yet. Thanks, Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:39, 28 March 2012 (EDT).
