GuildWiki talk:Wikia Migration/Archive

Copy+Pasted word for word from entropys talk. If anyone has another way to put it, go on. I just think that it should be in a more accessable location than Entropys archive. &mdash; Warw/Wick 18:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Header needs to be updated now, though. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Noes it doesnt :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 18:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well played, sir. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Updated, and made it so its not only to Entropy now. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 18:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not verbatim! You are hax. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Annoyed...
I'm assuming this is due to the migration and everything, (I've been away for the past couple days) discussion pages now swap the nav sidebar to the right side. Is there a way to keep this on the left? Because it is very irritating. -- Sk8  (T / C)  15:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's an april fools prank, on my talk page I have a note - I will remove in about 10 mins if nobody thinks it is appropriate RT | Talk  15:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Its an april fools prank, which imo is annoying. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 15:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Favicon
Original GuildWiki favicon seems to have been lost and replaced by Wikia favicon (yellow "W"). TulipVorlax 16:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * looks like this was fixed Angies 15:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * With some pressing... RT | Talk  15:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Show/Hide-feature
Some show/hide-features on my userpage do not work any longer (e.g. ). Is that correct? Will that be fixed? --tapps75 20:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Preliminarily, it seems that Show/Hide only works now if information to be toggled is added in the /NavFrame page, although this severely limits customizability. I'm still messing with them, though. [[Image:Ruricu-sig.png]] ( Talk • Contribs) 23:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Is the show hide stuff working everywhere else? Because suddenly some changes that I made to my own css regarding it are showing up unexpectedly. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 03:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My showhide things are working normally, though I have other formatting added rather than just using the showhide template itself. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Showing up unexpectedly how? As I mentioned here, I made some changes a few minutes ago to make the HTML on the site behave more like it did before.. --KyleH (talk) 04:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Why are none of them closing? Or recognized as code now? -- 22:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I hate it when they change the fucking wiki coding, cuz then it messes up THOUSANDS of /div tags and THOUSANDS of external links that start with gw.gamewikis and all redirect to the fucking main page instead of what they are SUPPOSED to link to. It's annoying as hell.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 22:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Um, to start a div, type , NOT   -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 22:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No even the /divs that come at the end are messed up.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 22:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I cant end a div, I can start them, look at my header on userpage, I want to put a /div to end the box and add the note below but I can't.--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 22:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, the coding on your user page has epic breakages... the fact that the old codebase didn't show those breakages is like IE doing things wrong so that ppl writing things wrong don't see the problem... >_<" -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Explain how is broken then please? And why I can't close the box off?--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 23:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the CENTER that is killing stuff. Its very existence breaks the DOM and causes DIVs not to close.  You also had some FONT tags (which shouldn't be used also, but not the reason divs isn't closing IMO) that are not closing. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, in older versions of your header, not properly-closed FONT tags are also part of the problem why Divs aren't closing (the browser is still waiting for you to close the FONT first). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I know many of you have already fixed the HTML in your user pages and in other places, but I went ahead and changed a setting so that MediaWiki will automatically clean up that code for you like it did before. It's a quick fix to a bigger problem (the bigger problem being that the HTML is broken in the first place), but hopefully it will help get things back to normal more quickly. --KyleH (talk) 03:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

on the bright side
They got rid of patrolled edits. No more red exclamations on RC FTW. Special:All log working is also FTW. <3 --Shadowcrest  22:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also: Polls are FTW.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Bleh. I don't want to see them popping up left and right, but it's a nice feature to have I suppose. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  22:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Eww. >.> --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  23:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh and I also HATE the new image that appears in my tabs now. It looks way to pixelated, completely unoriginal, and like they took all of three seconds to make it. At least change THAT back to the original. BLEH.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You mean in browsing tabs? I can't remember what it used to look like --Gimmethegepgun 23:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't either, but it looks suckage. Also, I see that message now and I have your .css gimme. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 23:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It used to look more like the shield that we have as our logo, much like GWW has their shield logo for their tab image.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, now I remember it. Might still be laying around on the server and we could change it back. And you know, I find it REALLY sad that less than 24 hours after the move, half the users have already nuked most of the changes into oblivion with their monobook.css --Gimmethegepgun 23:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * /bandwagon.
 * Wikia servers = great. Wikia sponsoring or whatever = awesome. Wikia crappy-ass skin changes without any options for users = nuke. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  23:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, if anyone can get me a location for the old little icon (or upload it) then I know how I can OWN NUKE their piece of crap logo they gave us and replace it --Gimmethegepgun 23:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

 * "Wikia crappy-ass skin changes without any options for users" <- um, aren't you being self-contradictory? We can change stuff. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Just did, and that piece of shit that they put in there (a sad little GW) is still there --Gimmethegepgun 23:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * When you click a link from TOC on talk pages it turns into a W again.--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 23:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The "sad little GW" was uploaded by RT I think. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
