Sig
Heya Pan,

GW:SIGN is policy now, and it expressly forbids using template transclusion to sign talk pages. Could you change your sig, please?

&mdash;Tanaric 01:20, 4 April 2007 (CDT)


 * I've changed my sig in my preferences. As for the old sigs, I don't have a bot to deal with them.  Let me know if I am expected to manually get rid of them, I'll find time to do it. -talk 18:44, 4 April 2007 (CDT)


 * There's a heck of a lot of them Pan, over 500! Does that mean you'd find time to write a bot or go through them all! Anyway nice to see ya around again :) --Xasxas256 18:50, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Sortable QR
that is by far the coolest thing i have seen all week. --Honorable Sarah 00:54, 12 April 2007 (CDT)


 * And I'm surprised nobody has done it on GuildWiki yet, considering we got the Javascript to do it ages ago (before I came back). There's a minor issue with the current version of the script though, making the spacing around the sort button ugly )-:  -PanSola 00:56, 12 April 2007 (CDT)


 * The whole thing also looks better in Chinese, because characters naturally go in the vertical direction. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/MesmerSkillDescriptionChart  Sadly, most of the data is out of date there, as I don't have the energy to keep it updated. -PanSola 00:58, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Is there anyway we could get a stable sorting algorithm? With such an algo, it would be possible to do multiple level sorts by just doing them one after the other (for example: sorting by attribute and name -> sort by name, then attribute). From the tests I did, this seems to not work right now, which would mean that it is using an unstable sorting algorithm. I couldn't find the piece of javascript implementation we use, but if you can point me to it, I could modify it into a stable sort. --Theeth (talk)   12:55, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes it's possible, it's on my to-do list, but it's much slower so I'm thinking of making it an "advanced" option that is not enabled by default. The javascript I am using right now (which isn't the one you guys see) is User:PanSola/sortable_mod.js.  -PanSola 16:06, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

Try this instead of shaker sort. It's a swapless stable quicksort with non-random pivot. That should fix the speed issue of the sorting. (no guaranty on the errorlessness of the code, it's adapted from some C code I have lying around, my JS skills might be a bit rusty). --Theeth (talk)   16:43, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

static void qsort_data(list, comp_func, head, tail) { pivot = list[head]; ihead = head; itail = tail;

while (head < tail) {		while (comp_func(list[tail], pivot) >= 0 && head < tail) tail--;

if (head != tail) {			list[head] = list[tail] head++; }

while (comp_func(list[head], pivot) <= 0 && head < tail) head++;

if (head != tail) {			list[tail] = list[head] tail--; }	}

list[head] = pivot; if (ihead < head) { qsort_data(t, ihead, head-1); }	if (itail > head) { qsort_data(t, head+1, itail); } }

function qsort(list, comp_func) { qsort_data(list, comp_func, 0, list.length - 1); }


 * I thought quicksort with non-random pivot, by definition, has terrible worse-case performances. O(n^2). -PanSola 17:48, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * With presorted list, yes, it's O(n^2) operations and O(n) storage (recursion) whereas shaker sort's worst case is O(n^2) operations and O(1) storage, but average cases are much better with quicksort than shaker. Moreover, the non-random pivot is rather easy to fix, I just didn't want to hunt around for JS randomize functions. --Theeth (talk)   18:33, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

I've been working with some sortable tables in my User space when I came across the work you've been doing. One thing I have been trying unsuccessfully to implement is marking specific columns as non-sortable. I saw that you have a template/function call { {weapon qr top}} that implements this but I can not for the life of me find the article to look at the implementation. All attempts to find weapon qr top return no results. Where can I find this article? I also read in one of the posts that you have a work-around for the current javascript stripping out template/function calls from header rows (my second problem). Would you also let me know where to find information on that fix as well? Thanks! --  Glamtre  (Talk) 13:55, 16 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Template:weapon qr top sets certain header cells to be class="unsortable", which then gets processed by the javascript MediaWiki:sortable_mod.js. It's not exactly documented, but hopefully the code isn't too hard to understand.  Let me know if you have specific questions.  As for the tag-stripping, it's a very tiny modification used in sortable_mod.js also.  The original behavior is in, but my sortable_mod.js completely overrides it. -PanSola 02:07, 17 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Thanks for the info. I totally forgot about the Template namespace and I REALLY hate wiki search!  Are there any plans for your updated code to replace the installed class="sortable" code?  I am happy to implement your code in my namespace for testing, but if it works one way for me and other for someone else I consider that a bad situation. --  Glamtre  [[Image:Axe-icon-right.png]] (Talk) 12:41, 20 April 2007 (CDT)


 * I've been working on it. But IE compatibility seems to be a very weird issue. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 18:45, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

JS overriding
Were you able to override the function you wanted? --Fyren 07:49, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Indirectly. I had to override a function higher up the call chain.  I don't entirely understand why, but at least it works right now... -PanSola 07:55, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

CSS changes
You seem to have been making a lot of CSS changes recently. What are you trying to do? I'm not really sure what your goals are, but most of your edits seem to be experiments. This can't be good when you're modifying a global stylesheet :P  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 13:02, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * The major changes are non-experimental. The experimental ones are trivial changes (changing order of some lines just to see if MSIE's behavior will change).  After some googling, I've figured out that I'm stuck with a CSS bug in IE7 that I'll have to use javascript to fix. -PanSola 13:39, 13 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Perhaps my understanding is flawed (maybe Fyren could make some suggestions) but I was under the impression that most browsers use a conditional get, so that they only get the contents of a file if it's been modified since a certain time. If this is the case then, trivial or not, the whole common.css file will be downloaded regardless of the change. This was my only concern.


 * And I was curious :) Unfortunately I don't have IE7 but if you're willing to discuss the bug I'd be happy to give my input? Of course, it's unlikely I will have anything to add that you can't find on google ;)  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 16:19, 13 April 2007 (CDT)


 * IE7 doesn't not implement "display:table-cell;", so my clever ith-column-hiding trick gets messed up with IE7 users. The issue doesn't show up with IE6 because IE6 didn't even implement Adjacent sibling selector, kinda like if you don't even have access to a car, you can't get caught drunk driving (though you are supposed to be driving, not drunk). -PanSola 16:42, 13 April 2007 (CDT)


 * That's the worst analogy ever :P And that's saying something with the amount of analogies the build wipe debate has produced! But yes, I know what you mean. That's a pain!


 * There's a separate stylesheet that monobook uses for IE7 hacks, according to the source it's "/skins/monobook/IE70Fixes.css?42a". I realise it's not common.css, but would this be useful for monobook? I imagine editing it would involve a trip to see Fyren in his dungeon over at his really long talk page.  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 18:07, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Those in particular don't help. I'm trying to conjure up a javascript fix, but can't really think of how either...  The only other alternative is to implement the correct CSS behavior via javascript on all browsers without using CSS, but that's kinda annoying cuz it's IE's fault and not the other browser's.  I don't want to use javascript to do something I'm supposed to be able to do with CSS. -PanSola 20:52, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Sortable table for collector weps
It seems that the sortable table class has broken the tables... when you try to change the sort, it drops information and then just mucks everything up. I think it's probably related to the fact that they use rowspans for items that share similar statistics, but I'm not entirely sure how the sortable table class works. Don't know whether or not you know what's up with it, just saw you made the addition of the sortable class and thought I'd point it out. --IzzionSona 22:03, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Oops, yeah, I forgot some of the tables have rowspans, that does break stuff. Sorry about that. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 22:22, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Hello I'm working on getting all the collector wep quick refs updated with the new sortable tables (which i love) i had wanted to add the gwen stuff but saw the mesmer one and said "u know that's what we need 1st" so ive put that off for now and have just finised the monk one to the state that it was in when i started working on it a few days ago, i left a message in your qr top template for u about it not seeming to work right on the monk article and since you are the only other person i see trying to make all the collector weps sortable i thought i'd drop u a line here, so take a look at the work ive done on the Monk Collector Weapons article and tell me what u think. u can see the previous edits on User:Skekzyz/Monk collector weapons redotemp --Skekzyz 01:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

http://www.wikia.com/wiki/gaming
I brought up the subject before, and Gil suggested that I add GuildWiki to the list. With 17,730 articles on here, and a mere 95,498 pages, we're already in the top ten content-wise; coming in slightly behind the top five, and much higher then the (current) number ten. Based on that, I would say GuildWiki is set for it's own short blurb and image up there. Surprisingly, there's already a user with your name there, on the very same discussion page (but of course there's no way that could be you, he speaks with an Advanced level of English, while you blow him away with a Near-Native level of English). Anyway, I figured you would be one of the best to ask, if anyone; since we are technically a part of Wikia now, as far as I know, what's the process behind setting up the ten wikis there? Who writes the blurb? I'm happy to edit it myself, I'm just hesitant to charge in and edit something of that magnitude as it is. Any suggestions or insight on the subject? -- Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> .cнаt^  02:13, 12 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Auron made me do it! :P
 * But just to let you know, I've already added GuildWiki to the page. Mind taking a look at it, and possibly fixing my formatting/info? I'm pretty sure it all fits the basic format of the page, but I can't be sure. Also, I had to use an external link, because I've no clue what the interwiki shortcut is. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> .cнаt^  02:41, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Wikia Move Archive
I know you're a sysop and all, but Xeon said he didn't want the page archived until it had all settled down... So, how about you leave the "hot" topics un-archived, and shove the rest in the file-bin? I can't do this cause I don't want to break it QQ The Imperialist
 * My archiving has nothing to do with me being Sysop. The talk page is getting megaly disorganized and people are repeating stuff they have said before.  I have left a note letting people know they are free to unarchive any discussion. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:29, 15 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I didn't mean that you archived because you were a sysop, but I figured it would be best to follow Xeon's advice. But I agree, it was get lengthy and repetitive ;) The Imperialist
 * If it additionally helps ease your mind, when Hard Mode was first introduced, Talk:Hard Mode was going crazy too (since drop rate changes for normal mode came in the same update), and I did a similar split of the talk page. The main difference is I left an ugly trail of empty sections on the talk page specifically redirecting ppl as to which page a thread has been moved too.  I'm not in the mood for ugly trails today. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:48, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

Vandals, see RC
Forgive my impudence, but this is part of your job isn't it? If you've got the time to mess around with fontsize and colors and stuff surely you have enough effort left in you to block 5 anon IPs and delete a junk page. (T/C) 00:58, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Indeed it's part of my job description. Though for the past hour I was typing up some idea of mine (lots of revisions).  It'd greatly help if you can point to the posts and the IP's contrib page when you leave the message so I can get to them more quickly. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:16, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

 * (I think it was 5, hard to tell when IPs all look the same) Yeah, I know, I am just...impatient. Unnecessarily so. Thanks and sorry for being somewhat rude and presumptuous...it's a hard time for all of us and vandals (esp. to my own page) have always made me want to strangle someone. The nerve of kids...It's depressing to me that people will abuse their school or other public IP's just to vandalize Wikis and other similar places. One of those anon IPs did have some useful contributions, and I always hate it when we have to ban folks like that. It hurts the good and honest anons who have no malicious intent but can't or won't make an account...sigh.
 * In the end of the day, whether it's vandals on a Wiki or spammers on E-mail, it always seems like we are fighting a losing battle against "E-Terrorism". [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:25, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

 * "I'm on the internet! I can do anything I want without getting caught! It's fun watching people get mad at stuff I write, but they can't do anything about it."
 * ...As long as that mentality is available, there will be vandals. Faster we ban them, faster they get bored. Simple as that. We don't lose until we give up, and they don't win until... well, I'm not sure how they could possibly win. We give up, they get pretty bored. We ban them, they get pretty bored. Keep that in mind, I suppose; we can win, they can't. Inspiring is it not? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> .cнаt^  01:55, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * It doesn't work like that once you can get a profit or a message going, though. My father works in the IT department of a fairly large company; he's showed me some of the horrors of Spam. Can you imagine getting 100+ spam e-mails/hour? It's not an issue of "boredom" there, no, not at all. I think that as soon as vandals get ahold of some bigger guns - automated "Vandal-Bots" to do vandalism for them - then we're really in trouble. The main advantage we have over Wiki vandals, at least for now, is superior firepower. But that balance is always tipping more and more in their favor...

 * I understand, I agree protection of the page is better than banning, it's just I can't protect pages :P --Macros 23:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm?
I always thought it was. Meh, shame on me for not knowing though. &mdash; Nova   &mdash;  (contribs) 19:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That flag would be for October 1st, 1949. I happen to want nothing to do with that flag. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 20:15, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It r halloween
Should we add a notice to the main page? I'm pretty junk at layouts etc, and I don't really want to make it ugly. - Auron 08:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Firefox Search Bar issue
Figured you'd see it here faster: Removing guildwiki's old search engine and adding it again seems to have fixed the issue. I know that's not exactly what you had suggested, but you did suggest to remove it in the first place (which I cannot believe I didn't think to try). The new url result includes an "index.php?title=" section that was not there before, and everything is back to normal. Thanks again :) -- <font color="#000000">Goteki-45  06:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Nukm?
I was reviewing the recent changes, and came across this. You already did the deleting on this, but I was just wondering if you could fill me in on what was going on? I hang out with some of the people from Nukm Radio, and we had some issues a few days ago with someone wiping out their teamspeak server, as well as alot of drama associated with that. Any info you can provide me from what happened here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sk8 18:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * From what I gather, an anon was reporting/complaining that the radio was making fun of a certain GuildWars player with disability, which the anon found to be greatly offensive. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much [[Image:Isk8.png]]Sk8 19:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Would it be over-stepping my bounds to ask for the anon user's Ip Address? [[Image:Isk8.png]]Sk8 19:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If I had deleted it later you would've been able to see it in the Recentchanges, so I think it's not a problem to show it. It is 81.106.249.178. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Much obliged [[Image:Isk8.png]]Sk8 19:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandalizer
Thanks, but he's just gonna come back tomorrow.-- (Talk) (Contr.) 19:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if he changes his IP he can be back in 30 seconds. If he does not, he won't be back until Friday. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Willing to bet, that he cannot change his Ip that fast, it will probably just renew to the same Ip address he had before. I know thats the way comcast works out here.  Probably after a 24 hour period and he renews his Ip address, it gives him a new one.  Just my suspecting take on it.  [[Image:Isk8.png]]Sk8 19:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, if you wanna propose a permanent range-ban on all AOL users, do it in the community portal talk. My practice is and has been to exponentially increase the ban duration on same account/IP for returning offenders, but do nothing to track sockpuppetry or IP proxies. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
