Typosfixing is cool

Hello Vipermagi! I saw your typo fix on the Berserker. Did I manage to encourage you to pitch in from one of my very verbose wiki news posts? =) --Leord 15:13, 18 November 2008 (CET)

I feel bad for responding this late D: Anyways, I dripped onto the wiki from the forums, and made an account (I like wikis). Just found that typo after reading through everything in a looong moment of boredom.

What I noticed today is that diffs (ex.) are completely unreadable; White texts on a very light yellow / green / gray background. Eew. --Vipermagi 15:05, 25 December 2008 (CET)

I thought that problem with the diff pages was just me... a local browser problem... I guess misery really does love company...

Since the .css (Cascading Style Sheet; layout of the wiki) is global, it's very unlikely it's a browser specific problem. However, it's possible to change it for oneself, in special:mypage/monobook.css (assuming you're using the Monobook skin, which is the standard. This can be changed in special:preferences, though). I'm no genius on that, though :< --Vipermagi 14:20, 26 December 2008 (CET)

Hmm... tried all the skins available in the prefs page, aside from the diff pages, tho, I really didn't like a one of them. I guess I'll have to read up n how to modify that special:mypage/monobook.css... or ask an admin to modify the global one you were talking about...

Haha, cool to see this page turned out to a proper discussion! =D I have been annoyed by that colour for a long time, and since we are now starting to accumulate some more serious contributors that USE the page more (I just select the text to see it), I can contact Rushster and demand some small 5 min dev time to fix the CSS for everyone! =) If you can just survive until after Christmas and New years, I'll have it sorted! =) --Leord 14:38, 27 December 2008 (CET)

BTW, brought the wish for style change forward to developer. =) He said he was aware of it, and "it's on the list". =) --Leord 18:53, 12 January 2009 (CET)

Grats on User Page

It's an as good start as any. I should make my one more pretty as well. =) --Leord 14:47, 27 December 2008 (CET)

Wiki Technicalities

You said you know a bit about wikis. Do you mean you're well aware of the regular markup, or do you mean that you're really good with technicalities ant templates? I wouldn't mind some help with some of that, as I lack a little bit of knowledge in the inner inner workings of the wiki =) --Leord 18:53, 12 January 2009 (CET)

I'm a sysop on GuildWiki (same name there), and dabble about in code every now and then. I might be able to help here and there, but it really depends on what you need. However, I can always ask Ishmael over there, when needed. He's a genius. --Vipermagi 21:56, 13 January 2009 (CET)

Cool. any clue about things like simple java scripts on a wiki, or templates that have like "if" commands in them? I know unfortunately nothing about java scripts, so that doesn't help much =/ --Leord 12:09, 14 January 2009 (CET)

I used to be a programmer in a past life... didn't play with Java script much, but I may be able to help you, if I knew what exactly it was you wanted.

I can always try :) However, I neither have any form of .js experience; I just rip other people's .js' ^^" --Vipermagi 17:16, 14 January 2009 (CET)

Well, it has a lot just to do with how to implement scripts in a wiki, really. Normally you can't do that. So the question is really if you guys know of how to manipulate a wiki on the code side of things! ^^ --Leord 16:08, 16 January 2009 (CET)
