User talk:Shadou

Welcome
Hi and welcome to the wiki! (I know I'm a bit late, but still..) Could you please add credit notes to your user page. Something like "This user page has been inspired by User:Example1, User:Example2 and User:Example3." will be fine. -- (talk) 06:03, 20 August 2006 (CDT)


 * And could you please use the 'Show preview' button instead of the 'Save page' button. You are spamming the reent changes with your edits. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:05, 20 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Shit, sorry, I thought 'minor changes' would not spam the recent changes, sorry sorry. I'll use it from now on - while I have your attention, how do I get the custom signature thing to work correctly under preferences? I'd like to have my name and a little but can't seem to get it going


 * No problem. Really. I was just pointing it out as I had nothing better to do. People can ofcourse hide minor edits in the recent changes ifthey want, and it's good that you were marking all edits as minor, but some people like me don't hide minor edits as they want to see everythign happening in the wiki.
 * About the signature. Write the following in your 'Custom signature' field:  --Shadou  and check the 'Raw signature' checkbox. Then you can add the signature after your talk page comments with four tildes: ~ . --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]]  (talk) 06:12, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * And if you have anything else to ask, just ask here or on my talk page. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:13, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Thank you, Gem. I still seem to be having issues, though, it does not link to my User:Shadou page - see here: --Shadou 06:17, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Doh, Forget that ^^. Thanks ;)
 * No problem. I just like to help people with their user pages and signtures as so many have problems with them. And the link does work. But remember that a link doesn't work if you use it on the page where it links. So if you tested on your user page, the link doesn't work. :D I hope you enjoy your time here in the wiki. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]]  (talk) 06:19, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

Kiwi
Ooooh a Kiwi, damn All Blacks beating our crappy Wallabies! --Xasxas256 06:28, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * All Blacks > your base. --Shadou 06:31, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * It's ok we beat you at everything else! :P --Xasxas256 06:33, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, That's true. We are pretty crappy at everything apart from that oh so popular sport. ~Shadou 06:34, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Heh heh, well I'm from down south so we don't really play the bum sniffing game, I did enjoy the world cup though, you know the Soccer, the real World Cup! I've probably watched far more Aussie vs Kiwi netball and cricket games than anything else. --Xasxas256 06:37, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, well we share a common dislike for that game, and a common like for a far superior game, one which clearly requires a certain level of skill and/or intelligence. It is nice to meet you, Xasxas256. ~Shadou 06:44, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah you too mate, it's choice to meet you! :P :P --Xasxas256 06:46, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

Well, I finished my userpage
There we go, I've finished it - for now anyway. Much was stolen from Skuld, When I work out how to use these godforsaken mediawiki tables I'll get around to doing a new design of my own.
 * To-Do:
 * Add all characters
 * Shin Reijutsu
 * Shin Melandru
 * Mushin Ryu
 * Teinai Raiken
 * Shin Genjutsu
 * Redesign the entire thing.


 * Table open
 * Table close
 * Cell
 * Row
 * Heading cell

E.g. 2 x 2 table with 1 cell heading

Shows:

to add uhh.. thingies.. um these:, add them after the cell pipe, then end with another pipe if you need text after. Hope that isn't too confusing :) &mdash; Skuld 12:32, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Makes sense, thanks Skuld - I'll get onto it right away ~Shadou 12:35, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

Javascript
Anyone know if I can embed javascript into guildwiki? I'm thinking of sandboxing a replacement template for the subst:skill bar, which uses javascript and/or css to create "popup" rollovers with the skills details. Any ideas?~Shadou 01:37, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't believe that you can get that working here and I don't even think that it should be allowed. Javascript can do bad things, you know. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 05:51, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, I'm aware jscript can do bad things, but the posted code doesn't do bad things! that's why I posted it. ~Shadou
 * Ah, there is also a policy which practically says that the wiki is about content, not the way how it is represented. So we don't really want to have nice eye candy and such. Simple links to other articles are enough. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 05:52, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * While I'm tempted to agree, this is just an easier method of displaying the relevant information, similar to the games interface - I'd rather not press "K" and then click on the skill just to be able to read what it does, how much energy it costs, so on. With this proposed addition, one could simply mouse-over the skillbar and have the css/jscript popup tell them the skill description, energy cost, cooldown, cast time, everything. Of course, it wouldn't replace {{skill bar, it would just be another subst template, generate in the same manner ({{fancy css skill bar..)~Shadou 08:53, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * We can use jscript, MediaWiki:Monobook.js. Just make sure it is readable and workable with javascript turned off &mdash; Skuld 06:14, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * So just create a page like that? How does one embed it to the page (I gather you can't use, I don't know the mediawiki tag - {{ wouldn't work, would it? Also, with javscript disabled, the skill bar would exactly the same as {{skill bar
 * I worked it out, monobook.css & monobook.js - thanks Skuld ~Shadou 09:50, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh well, so much for that idea. It all revolved around the onMouseOver and onMouseOut properties of , which I can't seem to replicate with wikitext.~Shadou {{ProfessionIcon|Assassin}} 10:11, 21 August 2006 (CDT)

CSS
Oh, this is beautiful - drop this in your User:YOURNAME/monobook.css div#p-seg { display: none; } Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ~Shadou 11:05, 21 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Consider yourself beaten :p &mdash; Skuld 11:08, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * /bow. Hey Skuld, take a look at my User:Shadou/monobook.js. I found it on MediaWiki somewhere under tools, if only I could get it to work correctly. ~Shadou 11:11, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
