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 http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/MesmerSkillDescriptionChart  Sadly, most of the data is out of date there, as I don't have the energy to keep it updated.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)

Proposal
Well, you told me to propose one, so how about this? Looks decent to me --Gimmethegepgun 02:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Propose it to the general community, not to me o_O""" That looks like a rabbit on a bad-ear day btw (my personal opinion.  I have no problem setting that as the site's favicon if most of the community likes it) d-: -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 04:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Made a better one and fixed link accordingly. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Moar Monaco
Right now, the Swords and Shield emblem that has been in the top left corner since time immemorial is being chopped in half vertically. It doesn't look great. 02:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently with Monaco, you get no indication that you've been redirected if you attempt to go to a redirect. What I mean is, when I click on my signature image, I'm taken to my userpage with absolutely no (redirect from Image:Felix_Signature.png) message. At the present, I can't find any way at all to access a redirect page with Monaco. D: [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

fix please--‎ Fire  Tock  23:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fix it by, umm, ugh... i forgot what you said, but i remember it was the first one, do the first one (the one on the discussion of the mainpage) to fix it.--[[image:"Burn Baby Burn!".jpg|19px]]‎ Fire  Tock</tt>  03:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Skill box
Were the changes made to the Common.css involving the skill box the reason why skillbox is so screwed up right now? It seems that the div for the portion is outside of the skill box div now and so it's below it --Gimmethegepgun 00:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Screenshot + browser version after refresh cache? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 00:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.13 --Gimmethegepgun 01:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, was just about to contact you about how the colors in the numbers on RC disappeared, but I just fixed that problem (and probably others too) :P --Gimmethegepgun 01:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Is the skill box still messed up after that fix? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's still messed up, it looks to me like the 's    is outside of the skillbox's   instead of inside of it, and only putting it inside (using Firebug) fixed it --Gimmethegepgun 01:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It has always been outside though... Can you use firebugs to check the width of the skillbox div, if it is specified? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, check between Monobook, Quartz, and Monaco. See if all 3 skins have the same behavior.  Then try logged out vs logged in.  And if you got different browsers installed, give those a spin too.  I have having trouble reproducing your screenshot directly. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * After cycling through all 3, both logged on and logged off, the results were the same. With Firebug, unless I moved the code to inside the div, the only way to bring it to normal was to reduce the height of the skill box div, increase the height of the  (since otherwise the table gets shoved inside the box on the side) and decrease the   's width to make sure it didn't get stuck inside the box on the side. However, when I moved the code to inside the div, it still got stuck inside the box on the side because the p was still too wide, and the table got crunched together because it was close enough to get wedged between the navbar and the box --Gimmethegepgun 01:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I think I found the problem. The skillbox div is far too wide, if it is the same width as the skillbox table then everything works correctly. Why both of them are the same name is beyond me, and is likely the problem --Gimmethegepgun 01:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * They only have the same classname, and that shouldn't affect things. It seems to be an FF2-specific bug, as I cannot reproduce it on FF3 beta, Safari, or Opera; I had to downgrade my browser to find the problem.  The new skill box code should fix it though. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 01:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks fixed on the skill box template, but on others such as Shockwave the problem is still there. I WOULD go and test out .css changes, but for some reason I can't make new lines with either of my enter keys in FF, so I'll have to restart FF first --Gimmethegepgun 01:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, there we go, it's fixed. Tell me if any problems arise after I mod the Common --Gimmethegepgun 01:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, with the new ksillbox code, there are no more divs usuing the class Skillbox, so your CSS additions would do nothing. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 02:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok then, I guess FF was just being dumb before I restarted it, because it wasn't letting me make new lines with Enter either, so it probably wouldn't update after I refreshed my cache. So, we might as well delete those lines in the Common then? --Gimmethegepgun 02:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll clean it up later, so we don't get edit conflicts. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 02:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You killed my skills page :( <font color ="skyblue" size="3px" face ="mistral">Lost-Blue 02:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (RI) Alright then, at least we got that bug worked out :) --Gimmethegepgun 02:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well then.... time to get back to work :P Screen please Blue? --Gimmethegepgun 02:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Err... when you say your skill page, you mean the one you have in your userspace? Looks fine to me, what's wrong with it? --Gimmethegepgun 02:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes and on my monitor everything is all squished and tiny and the description is at the very bottom and the pic is elongated. <font color ="skyblue" size="3px" face ="mistral">Lost-Blue 02:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:Clear
You broke it :( &mdash; Poki#3, 20:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Where is it broken? It works fine for me. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  20:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at my userpage. See the show/hide boxes at the top? They where in separate rows, but now are in 1 row, and I have to cut the one short. Also, both overlap my character box. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 21:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The S/H boxes broke when Wikia busted in adopted the Wiki gently. Have you tried to replace every | with | ? That could cause problems. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 21:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not the point... If I replace

with <br style="clear:both;height:0px;"> (the old content of the clear template) the s/h boxes will be placed like they where again. &mdash; Poki#3, 22:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The br one is a less-good clear, because it actualy does take up space despite the height-0 declaration. I'll see if your page can be fixed while using my version of clear. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If not, then I'll just make a "clear2" template, or just use "the ugly way" (pasting in raw code). &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 23:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

admin board
Pan, could you add a link to the admin noticeboard somewhere under support in the left hand bar? I'd do it myself, but I don't know where the page is and I'd probably mess up :P Thanks,  --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  01:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * MediaWiki:Sidebar. That's what you need. I think you needa add "adminnoticeboard-url|adminnoticeboard", but somehow I also think I'm wrong. Go figure ^^' --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 14:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unprotect it and I'll add the coding if you want, or I could just add the coding into the talkpage for you to enter? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * As I stated before, we'll not unprotect and reprotect everytime someone wants to edit. Just give the code and an admin will snip it in if nessecary >.> --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 14:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Dammit, I sooo wanted to get a MediaWiki edit onto my editcount.. =P >_> &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Halp lol
I'd like to incorporate Entropy's "master template" into my personal css settings somehow, but since I'm using Monaco I can't just copy+paste code from monobook, and I really have no idea how to go about doing it. I'll probably tinker around on my own, but any assistance you can give me would be amazingly great. 01:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I meant .js, maybe. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you verbally describe to me what the "master template" does? I'm not seeing anything in Entropy's css/js that are of interest to monaco, -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 02:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The master template is just a bunch of links to admin-y things. You can find it at the top of User talk:Gimmethegepgun. The js version is at User:Entropy/monobook.js. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * All Entropy got in her js is stuff that modifies her own sidebar. With monaco, just edit Special:Mypage/Monaco-sidebar.  You can check out mine at User:PanSola/Monaco-sidebar.  If you want something to put at the top of your talkpage/userpage, that'd be done via a normal template, not involving js/css. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 05:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is extraordinarily useful! [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Darn, I only wanted to be ordinarily useful... Well, since I've crossed the line anyways, you can also take a look at MediaWiki:Monaco-toolbox vs User:PanSola/Monaco-toolbox.  -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 09:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Only problem with tinkering .js is bit longer page load times. I will freely give credit to Monaco toolbar edits in that they don't seem to cause as much lag for (mostly) same benefits. Btw Pan, if there is an "Admin skin", those are some nice tools to put in it. I know I saw you messing with that sometime. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:AdminSkin refers to "the skin set by the admin to be the default skin that all anon users see, as well as any logged-in user who didn't picked something in their preferences". There's currently no skin-related stuff that automatically affects all users with admin status (although that can be done via JS). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 09:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you saying I can tinker with the skins that anons see, and they can't do anything about it? That sounds fun. :) In seriousness, though, how would one go about to make an "admin skin" that those with admin/bcrat status see. I have this idea...We have the #IRC channel and private email, but both of those are subject to some degree of clumsiness and unreliability. So, what if there was a way to post a message to all other admins - privately, in something kind of like the Monaco "Shoutbox", which appeared on the sidebar or such. If there was a feature like that, I could see it being much easier to, say, do another April Fool's joke type thing and it would be so much easier for everyone to participate. All they need to do is log on to GuildWiki. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * After our databases move, the adminskin should become avaliable in your preferances I think. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 12:07, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Anons can't do much about it, but there's something they can do about it (though most of them won't know they can). As for your admin shoutbox idea, that's a little too advanced for easy implementation.  What I had in mind is just a javascript that detects if you are a sysop (easy to check), then the javascript loads different CSS (easy) and menus (on the complexity of the JS that addes new portlet in monobook). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 12:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Haha-- Oops..
Looks like I got stuck with the wiki =|. A solo wiki? Meh, less vandalism.. &mdash; Warw/Wick 10:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * From your description, it sounds like a tablet PC with a misconfigured setting. Unfortunately I have no experience with tablets.  Turn your screen 90 degrees in the mean time until the problem is solved. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 11:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey Pan, as of a few minutes ago the Monaco sidebar started extending into the actual content area like a template would; It's actually covering part of the text I'm typing. It's kind of not good; did you change something just now? 07:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I've barely understood a single edit in the last hour but from what I can gather this wiki no longer needs the main namespace because it seems to have turned into some kind of beauty pagent that even you're involved in.

Need A Little Coding Assistance
If you get a spare minute or two, I could use a hand with something. I borrowed a template here and I'm posting it to my user page with the template function, and the and in the template affects the rest of my user page, causing a few issues. Is there a way to use those 2 commands and have them ONLY effect that link I posted above? Thanks for the help. -- User:Isk8  (T / C)  11:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You can use and . Things in noinclude will work on the template page, but not on any page that's using the template. Include only will do the opposite (things inside don't work on the template page, but work on everything that uses it. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 11:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That isn't working. If I noinclude, it just omits that from my page.  Includeonly works on the template page if I wrap notoc and noeditsection in it, but then it doesn't work on my user page.  I am stumped at this point. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] User:Isk8  (T / C)  17:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you describe the desired behavior? From the above description, it sounds like you want NOTOC and NOEDITSECTION to affect the template but not the page. If that is all, then the noincude tag should do the job. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think he wants it to still affect the template when it's placed on pages (i.e. - don't add the edit section links or all the entries in the TOC for the headers in the template, but still do it for the rest of the page). Imo, just don't use actual headers. Remove the and, and then change the == Header == to just Header , and the === Header === to ;Header .  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 00:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

If you have a little spare time
I was wondering if you could look at a couple coding minor issues I am having. I applied a code to my userpage, just for a change of look, and I think it looks pretty cool :D. I am trying to make it compatible with both monobook and monaco skins, as well as different resolution settings. So.

Issue #1) Monobook vs Monaco.  I applied a span color tag to the Quizzes section of my user page to change the color to lightgreen.  It shows up in monaco no problem, but in monobook only half the text changes color.

Issue #2) 1280x1024 vs 1024x768. I recently increased my resolution to the larger of the two, and am trying to still make my page compatible with the latter.  The only issue here, (and it is a rather minor one) is that my Characters section is offset to the right slightly when at the lower resolution.  Is there anyway of adjusting this, because it appears like it should still fit in the table I have setup.

Again, this is purely at your spare time only. This is nothing urgent at all, just a couple quirks I am trying to work out. Thanks. -- User:Isk8  (T / C)  09:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Showhide
Is there any way to set a showhide box to default show? I'm trying to get one to work but it just isn't going right, the inherent style  is overriding my , and   is disabled --Gimmethegepgun 23:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I borked that to fix my talkpage, by editing the MediaWiki code itself (MediaWiki:Common.js/NavToggle) - all Showhide boxes across the wiki now default to hide, regardless if there is only one or not. That would in all probability override any of your personal code. Sorry about that...you can switch it back if you want, though most users prefer it to stay hidden, from what I hear. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Can anyone tell me what good a showhide box is that defaults to open? It's not as if anyone would go to the trouble of closing it each time they read the page, so you could just put the info in a "regular" box. The only scenario where I can imagine it to be useful to close an open box is when the box is commonly used when browsing but there needs to be a way to hide the info when the page is to be printed. Expand my mind, please. mendel 06:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That was why I changed it in the first place - I can't think of any reason why a showhide box should default to open. But apparently Gimme is working on something special. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * A template for split PvE/PvP skills, where you'd be able to hide descriptions that don't interest you (e.g. - who cares about the PvP version of shadow form now), but you wouldn't want both descriptions hidden when the page opens. I'm not great with javascript, but you could probably tell it to set this to 0 on most pages and set it to 1 if a certain template is on the page, or something like that.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 19:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ideally, users would be able to set whether they wanted to see the pve or pvp versions of skills initially, with a link on every skill page allowing them to swap the displayed description. However, that would require both a lot of javascript and wikia tech support, and somehow I don't think the latter would be willing/able. <font color="#DD2200">Lord Belar 20:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Dr ishmael and gimmethegepgun both have working solutions with cookies now that require modifying monobook.js for the wiki to make them available to all users (not sure what to do about the other skins). mendel 22:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This stuff could just be put in the Common.js to make them work for everyone, but we have to have them working completely first --Gimmethegepgun 22:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

PvP reward categorisation by the item templates
Since we don't split articles on weapons with two different skins like with GWW, could you edit these templates so you can add multiple PvP reward categories and possibly, notes for one weapon where each skin is in a separate reward category? Say, I want to use pvpreward1 = Basic, pvpreward2 = Fancy for Elonian Blade and have it added to both rather than having the red-link category it just made. Jennalee 03:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Do they share the same name in the PvP reward?? o_O""" -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 07:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, they don't. However the PvE article lists both skins in the rewards, which have different names for them and no separate article for just the PvP reward. Jennalee 09:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If the skins have different names, then I advocate for splitting the articles. Not because GWW does it, but because we used to do it for armors that look different but had the same name (the ascended armor).  And if there are cases where they share the same name, explore the option of using two infoboxes on the page (what if their salvage ends up different? etc).  -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 20:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

ProfessionIcon replacement
I rewrote and the templates that call it so that I am able to use  and the like as unnamed parameters.

displays first and second unnamed parameter dervish is unnamed 1 - see, it breaks works with workaround,but that sucks only this really uses the feature with workaround

some text mendel dervish, note: not broken My Dervish can do the nowrap bit as well breaks workaround

Added benefit:No big template with the code for all the icons. Or is that a drawback? After all, if you want to change the icons, you have to change many templates? Reading the talkpage for professionicon I get the impression some other people would have liked the functionality, so no! Additional benefits for keeping the icon in the template: Whatlinkshere for the icon works, template can stay unprotected because vandalising is more difficult (no central vulnerability), uses less system resources than the old D.

Please let me make those. I'd even do the redirects (Template:Dervish to Template:D etc.). --mendel 22:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hiya
I don't think I'd be breaking any laws by simply copying it, but I'd like to ask your permission anyway. May I copy the customized monaco skin over to other wikis for my personal use? 05:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * What licenses would these other wikis be using? There is no "personal use" unless you copy it to your hard disk and set it up in your browser - everything on a wiki is publicly published. --mendel 09:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be primary for use on the Guild Wars Guilds wiki, and I had thought I could simply configure User:Felix Omni/Monaco.css to replicate the changes Pan made to Monaco here. I hope that's the case, because I've really grown accustomed to using it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So you won't be breaking any laws only if PanSola consents to have his modfications GFDL-licensed, unless you specifically add a note to your Monaco.css indicating which portions are by PanSola and are CC-BY-NC-SA licensed - but if that is legal, you don't need PanSola's permission (but it is nice to have it). --mendel 22:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, there is no "default editable css" for monaco skin, unless we turn the entire site default to "monaco-custom".

R.Phalange's sysoption
Hello there, sorry to harass you but I'm not happy with Auron's sysoption of R.Phalange. There has been quite a discussion on Auron's talk page and I believe both of us have made our positions clear. Although I appreciate the straightforward way in which Auron has responded to me I nevertheless feel that the correct process hasn't been followed and that the community's wishes has been ignored. I also harbour some serious reservations on Auron's suitability as a bureaucrat. If you feel that due to the fairly serious nature of the matter and given our respective positions, that this should go to our Requests for arbitration then I'm happy for that to happen. Either way I'd like your opinion on the matter as a bureaucrat. It does pain me a little to post this, back way back when I used to play the game regularly, I used to guest Auron a bit, he's not a bad guy. But that has no bearing in this matter, basically I don't see how someone with such low regard for the both the policies he's supposed to be enforcing and community's input can possibly know what's best for them and can furthermore make a good bureaucrat. FYI, I've posted an identical message on JediRogue's talk page. --Xasxas256 11:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. How long did it take you to come up with something? --Xasxas256 06:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it's a busy weekend. I've been working on composing the reply since shortly after your message, on Saturday... -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 07:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well that's a disappointingly long time! I wanted to email you so many times since I first posted on Auron's talk page but I felt that was unfair even if people were probably talking about it on IRC (ie talking about it privately). Do you think you would have pushed the issue as thoroughly as I did? It didn't look like MP47 was going to so I thought I probably should but maybe another user would have anyway, perhaps M.mendel or someone else. I've been following GWiki events pretty closely of late and I haven't been this active in discussion for a long time. I think I did a reasonable job of getting Auron to clarify his position but I'm not sure I managed to do the same for my own. I think my greatest failing as a sysop is my inability to write as concisely and clearly as you do. I think my ability to analyse a situation is ok although I do get it wrong sometimes but mostly I'd like to be able to put forward my arguments and arrange thoughts better, particularly when I am not able to talk with someone else. Interestingly the other person I think excelled in this regard was Xeeron, maybe it's a coincidence but perhaps the English language makes for messy writing and/or thought process.
 * Despite what you've written it doesn't sound like anything will come of this which was what I wanted least of all. I'd even prefer to hear it decreed that bureaucrats can do whatever the hell they like as long as they've got community support behind them. I think this is a significant change from anything we've had before, not just the action itself but the way it's been implemented and there should be some recognition of that. Final point, even though sysops have traditionally avoided commented RFAs, if I'd thought this one was going to be successful I would have added my thoughts before it was closed. Oh and not that any betting agency was taking bets on it but if they were, I would have put my money on you to reply before JediRogue did! --Xasxas256 07:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think I would've pushed the issue as throughly as you did, because I personally felt it's not necessary to go to that extent (but I don't oppose others who feel the need).  Any clarity and conciseness of mine comes at the price of taking the extra time ("disappointingly long") to re-organize my thoughts, and put them in bullet points to help visualize where one point ends and another one starts.  Not sure what the "unfairness" you mentioned was about, what you wanted to email me about or why would it be unfair etc.  While like you said nothing structurally will probably come out of this, I am hoping that Auron will learn from his faults, both those he self-admitted, and those that I am trying to get him to see.  I hope the day will never come when I run out of patience and give up on his potential to learn, when I stop just criticizing his actions but start to doubt his qualifications. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi PanSola, you write: "In the end though, sysop is just a user entrusted with the ability to Ban/Del/Prot". I've seen that argument used before, but it's not true (or at least it wasn't true when Administrate users, not content was written). In disputes not concerning editing matters, admins have the final say - I assume that is because since they have the trust of the community, they can speak for the community.

Dr Ishmael and others have made the point that the arguments on the RfA might have been more thorough had we known that Auron supported R.Phalange, and for what reasons. In other words, no-one formulates an elaborate, well researched position for a perceived opened-and-shut case. I am not sure if asking you to reopen the RfA, i.e. to invite discussion on R.Phalange himself, is a good idea; if it's just "to appease the public" it's just going to be a waste of time. I'd have liked to discuss what Auron claims are Gem's failings; about what edits of brain12 impressed him and why; how [this] is a rare example where we can compare a community consensus decision with an admin's intent; how User_talk:Maui illustrates that R.Phalange doesn't get our users and is thus, at this point, not going to be a great sysop for this wiki - unless, of course, one plans to make the users fit the admins.

I thank you for having the courage to openly critizise Auron; that must not have been an easy decision to take. As usual, there is a bit for me to ponder and learn. Thank you. --◄mendel► 10:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "how User_talk:Maui illustrates that R.Phalange doesn't get our users and is thus, at this point, not going to be a great sysop for this wiki". Talk page spam is degrading this wiki. Do I, or any other admin on any wiki for that matter, serve solely the community that wishes to spam talk pages, in disregard to the wiki? Don't think that I don't "get" you, because I do; I just don't agree with it. I don't see why I should agree to talk page spam when its effects are detriment in maintaining the wiki. Likewise, it's not essential that I must agree to this detrimental act in order to be part of "your" community and a sysop. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  11:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * One does not join a community simply by thrusting himself into it and expecting to be welcomed, particularly one in your situation. Do you feel accepted by the community, Phalange? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 11:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "One does not join a community simply by thrusting himself into it and expecting to be welcomed." So I'm not valuable (i.e. part of this sacred community) because I'm not part of your community (i.e. not accepted or welcomed) when I join? Nice.
 * Do I feel accepted? No, but does that matter? It's not my problem if I'm not accepted by "the community" as long as I can contribute however I usually would as a user or sysop. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  11:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You seem to misinterpret everyone's comments as hostile and respond in kind. I simply asked you if you feel accepted. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 11:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * (edit conflicts, now even more true) Speaking as an outsider myself, agree with Felix (both comments). Phalange, you seem to have caught Auron's "I have the power to do this therefore I can do this because my intentions are only to help/save the wiki" bug. The community (rightly or wrongly) is upset over how you were promoted.  You are going to have to work to earn their trust.  Coming in on your big white charger determined to change everything ain't going to do it.  Read PanSola's point 5 in his comments on Auron's talk page.  I know you're used to GWW, with its contingent of whiners who stop anything effective being done whilst contributing little positve (and, honestly, they should just be told to take a hike), but the people upset here (Mendel, Quizzical, even Felix) are the people who actually keep this wiki afloat.  Alienating them will only harm the wiki, no matter how right you are on talk page spam.Lurkerabove 11:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * R. Phalange, "I'd have liked to discuss" means I don't actually like to do it now, and especially not here. The matter does not concern PanSola much. If you want me to answer, please raise the point on my talkpage, or on yours. --◄mendel► 12:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Notes randomly responding to various comments above:
 * I have no intention or interest to reopen Phalange's RfA. That's kinda pointless.  I was talking about Auron should've filled in the rebuttles *on* that old RfA before closing it, and I am interested in eventually revamping the RfA process itself.
 * I'm personally biased against excessive talk page spams, but like how I dealt with some of the Auron and May stuff, I have been inclined to let talk page spamming slide. I hope I can find ways to positively redirect the energy used for spam (though I haven't taken much action or been successful at what little I have attempted), I do not wish to negatively prohibit ppl chatting on talk pages.  Still, that puts me in a sympathizing position with other people who have issues with talk page spamming.
 * Talk page spamming itself isn't an activity that *most* of our users partake. It just happens to be the most visible because it's flooding other stuff out of the RC.  And it also hasn't been something of a concern until recent months.  I'm deeply troubled by some people's idea that talk page spamming is actually a characteristic of this wiki.
 * mendel has a great point in bringing up Administrate users, not content. Although it also brought to my attention that perhaps something on that policy page needs to be reworded.  Admins do have a final say, as much as other admins have the ability to overturn it.  So it's not all that final if the decision proves to be controversial (among admins).  Thus a form of check and balances still exist, and hopefully users involved will bring forth the different points of views to alert the other admins if one of them is going out of line.  Thus I still feel this particular case isn't a very big deal.
 * People are valuable, even when they are wrong, misguided, or not fit in. People are valuable even when circumstances made them not welcomed/accepted (or not feel welcomed) by members of the vocal community.  People are valuable even when they are doing the right thing but get misperceived by others as being disruptive/destructive and get criticized/flamed. As long as they have positive intentions, they are valuable.  But it takes collaboration to make the contributions with positive intentions turn into actual value for the wiki/community.  Phalange, as I mentioned on Auron's talk page previously, it takes working with the existing community to bring forth positive changes in the wiki (if that is your intention, as opposed to merely helping with the upkeep of the wiki).  As a minor case study, witness how much energy has been wasted (IMHO) on redundant walls of text by various people over the matter on your sysophood because Auron has a communication issue (among other things I suppose).  This is as much distraction for the wiki as random talk page spam.  Sure, a few good things might come out of it (such as if I ever go revamp the RfA process), but I think it would've been better overall if we could've avoided these issues from the beginning entirely. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * "witness how much energy has been wasted (IMHO) on redundant walls of text by various people" When one person feels passionately enough about a subject to write a WoT about it, I might call that wasted energy.  When multiple people feel concerned enough about something that they all write multiple WoTs about it, I'd call that a real discussion.  When the people involved include some of the most reasonable people in this community - Xasxas, Quizzical, and mendel - I'd call that a serious issue that shouldn't be blown off by calling it a "distraction for the wiki".  Of course it would've been better had this entire issue been avoided, but it's a little too late for that now.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The entire situation could have been avoided, if R. would have declined the position and actually contribute (of the non trolling kind) a bit; we could have avoided any such drama here. I have yet to see where Brians (R., Pling, w/e he wants to call himself) deserves adminship on this wiki.  Imho the RfA should be reopened, and another bcrat make the choice.  I don't think Brains understands this community enough to be an admin here, not to mention his trolling does not help his stance much.  -- Shadowphoenix  17:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ishmael, I consider the energy "wasted" if things could've been done differently to prevent the need for the WoT. If things could've been done differently to prevent a nuclear meltdown, but Superman end up having to come and save the day instead of helping with other issues that cannot be prevented, then yes, this nuclear meltdown is a distraction that wasted Superman's energy which could've been better put to other good use. Of course, Superman did what was necessary, but it was still a distraction and a waste of energy.  The people who could've prevented the neculear melt down was distracting Superman and wasting his energy.  That was my point. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 18:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
