You're famous

We think you're awesome. :D -- Pilk _(talk) 14:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes we do. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 14:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

He had your name on the tip of his tongue though. Had to remind him :O -- Vi3trice _(talk) 15:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Lies, I knew his name. Just didn't say it. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 15:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

You said my name without giving it any thoughts D: -- Vi3trice _(talk) 15:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

What about me. -- Nineaxis 15:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

What about you Nine? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 15:46, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Lucky you Seb. D: And congrats Smash :3 — Wind 16:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Let the bloodshed begin! -- Vi3trice _(talk) 16:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Lol! Thanks for the mention Smash :) seb26 (talk) 06:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

You're blue, too

Hooray. Let's have a cat party. -- En Ex _(talk) 10:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

33x4 is totally 100, wtf are you talking about? -Shine () 11:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, how do I get rid of the stupid green blue red axis thing in HLMV? seb26 (talk) 11:51, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Go into the Attachments tab, and in the Attachment box select none. -Shine () 11:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:Lang

Looks handy. Perhaps you could fix the edit notices too? :3 Why didn't work on Template:Days ago? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 23:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

It was clashing with the math expression. It appears to work on most other pages, though. seb26 (talk) 23:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Was it clashing with the math expression on the pages it is transcluded on? -- Pilk _(talk) 00:00, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I think so, it didn't show an error but it just failed to display (days ago) on the Main Page. I didn't check Template:Latest updates. I think I'll try again, but with {{!}}. seb26 (talk) 00:04, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

That'll likely be the problem. You'll have to replace each | with a {{!}} in Template:Lang. Find and replace anyone? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 00:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Well I'll be damned. It worked. Or at least I didn't see any problems as of now. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 00:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

But with no thanks to {{!}} :) It's really only handy for tables, etc. It doesn't seem to like being used with templates. seb26 (talk) 00:13, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Smashman we've been through this, {{!}} only works for tables because they are parsed last. -- Pilk _(talk) 00:15, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

TF2wiki / Wikiped links

You. YES YOU. WindBOT is shaping up nicely. Right now it only does word/semantic filters though, not link filters. So I'd like to add that in, but to make sure the implementation is not too restrictive, I'd like to know what exactly needs to be done with it. I know about the tf2wiki and wikipedia links, but could you list all the "special cases" that need to be handled? For example, Smash wanted to add Media: in front of media links to tf2wiki files; another example would be non-english wikipedia links, is there a way to do those without using the full URL? — Wind 17:31, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

It can handle multiple ones on a single line right? Because that's where my regex fucked up, it kept swallowing up 5 or 6 links in one line and I had to skip the bulk of my list. Media: sounds good too, but I've noticed that some of the files on there have different names or were deleted, so would there be any way the bot could identify those and put them in a list somewhere? Also, you can switch languages in the wikipedia interwiki link, like wikipedia:ru:Франция. seb26 (talk) 22:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Alright. Do you have an example of a page with multiple links on one line, so that I can test it there? — Wind 23:07, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

It's common on the cultural references pages (for example [1]). seb26 (talk) 23:10, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Success :D — Wind 01:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Some user javascript?

Hey, I noticed you had some custom javascript previously, and was wondering if you knew how to add a notice to every page using using Javascript. I just want to use User:Smashman/valve.js to have a large note at top of the page, above the title saying some stuff, so that it gets my attention every time. Let me know if you can. It doesn't have to be Javascript, I just thought that sounded like the most likely method. Thanks. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 23:42, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Well it's possible, but I can't find a script that can do it, and I don't know how to make one either. I usually just bookmark certain pages and stick them on the bookmarks bar :3 seb26 (talk) 00:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I want to make a personal todo list, as I can't effectively edit on my phone. :/ So anything I see on here I can add to a page, User:Smashman/todo for example and then I have a message, similar to the you have new messages box that tells me I have todos, then I can strike things out as I go and if everything is struck out, then the message goes away. Anyone skilled with Javascript? Haha. Also, Seb could you add this to MediaWiki:Valve.js. Looks handy, thanks. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 00:48, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

The discussion page for that script says it's buggy, and that was in 2006. And Vi3trice just put it in and it doesn't seem to work :\ As for your todo list thing, I have an idea. seb26 (talk) 01:06, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

An idea? Oh goody. Do tell. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 01:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I got nothing. Sorry :( seb26 (talk) 01:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

lang Issue

Crit-a-Cola/de#Blaupause -Shine () 12:21, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

If it still doesn't work just revert all my edits, I'm going to bed. seb26 (talk) 12:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Reverted. =/ -Shine () 12:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge

You probably saw it in the recent changes log, but you're invited too~ — Wind 20:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Can't, latency issues, etc, soz. seb26 (talk) 21:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Worry

Seb, you make too many edits I don't understand. Please stop before I start a conspiracy regarding your slow takeover of wiki code through nefarious algorithms and templates. You may have seduced the other admins with your fancy typing skills, but I shall not falter! --Firestorm 21:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh you shall falter... they all shall falter. seb26 (talk) 21:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I know your wikibreak is merely a diversion for evil scheming and for mysterious and malevolent manifesting machinations. I'm watching you. --Firestorm 22:21, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Bye seb D: — Wind 22:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Come back soon! -- En Ex _(talk) 22:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Sig

Just so you know, your signature doesn't have a link to your talk page, just text. --Firestorm 21:38, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Control Point Timing/Official Map

I'll get around to folding everything back into one template (removal of the /ru version) sometime tomorrow, right now it's bed time. --Org 07:40, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

All done --Org 02:37, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Nice work, thanks for that :) seb26 [talk] 05:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Reducing image sizes

Erm, why? What's the point? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 23:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't see the point in having high-resolution images for things like userboxes. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 23:34, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Plus it only takes like 15 seconds to resize them, and it reduces the strain on the server if they are only rendered at a certain size anyway. I found a 1000px ATI logo, like wtf. seb26 [talk] 23:36, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Unban

Please unban user BIG -- Nightbox _{(t s)} 17:05, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I banned him and no. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 17:13, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:Plural

Can you add Template Plural from Wikipedia Commons? — everybody hates pyro 07:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

 Done, but I'm unsure of how to use it on Template:Days ago. Could you take a look at it? seb26 [talk] 07:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I used it for Template:Days ago and NumberofArticles. everybody hates pyro 11:04, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

...

Just because i've got my shit up together doesn't give you permission to remove my images. It follows the proper policy now, alright?

I also noted that you also removed my sig. With the summary "lost the privelage".

What kind of encouragement is that? If you want to keep me here, stop me from annoying you, you're going down the wrong path, mate. Also, I didn't argue with anyone. All I did was just upload a bunch of images (I was getting my userpage ready, anyway) and I didn't know about the signatures. I find this to be a load of bollocks.

Thunder 07:14, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Jesus. First of all, you don't need a colourful signature and decorated user page with lots of images to edit the wiki. We're not here to be a personal hosting space. If you want your own images, etc, then do what everyone else is doing and actually be helpful on the wiki. Try expanding some articles in Category:Stubs, or cleanup messy ones, or read over some of the strategy articles and reword parts that don't read very well.

I'm not trying to keep you here, nor am I trying to kick you out. It's up to you whether or not you want to stay. But naturally, I don't think you should stay and have a fancy sig or whatever if you don't really deserve it. seb26 [talk] 07:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Thunder, we really do appreciate all the help we can get. However, if we're forced to alter and change a lot of what you do when you don't even edit any main pages, it gets very annoying. Please do us all a favour and listen to us, we are simply here to make this Wiki great as easily as possible (Seb is excepted, he makes the Wiki great with as much effort as possible) --Firestorm 07:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I stopped being a bitch. Happy now? Thunder 08:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Sigh. I stopped being bitter and got over it, maybe you should too? We're only trying to help you. seb26 [talk] 08:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I have.

Thunder 09:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, i see how he's expanding articles. --Picard lm(de) 15:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Deal time.

Alright, let's make a deal then. I go clean up the articles tagged for clean up, then can I have me sig back?

Thunder 11:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Transparent Checkerboard

Is there a way to make it not show in galleries? (See Rocket Launcher#Gallery.) -Shine () 15:32, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
