UDWiki talk:Project Timeline

Thank you for taking the time to help me test and/or offer suggestions to make this a better service. I will give Kudos to any who assist (as well as any who helped on the Technical Help page)

Known Issues

1. Large Images break the message table
2. If "http://" is not included in URL, but URL=yes then message is not formatted correctly
3. If Reviewer is included but Peer Reviewed=no then output for peer reviewed is still "yes"

Suggestions/Feedback

You can check how close you are to breaking the page by viewing the source code for the page (I am NOT talking about viewing the code for the page by editing it, but rather by using your browser to view the actual HTML source code), searching for the word "bytes", and then checking the values. If any of the three exceed the maximum specified, it breaks. It also seems to break sometimes if a combination of the three exceeds it, but I'm not sure what those conditions are exactly, since it's not something we fool around with too often. Anyway, it looks like you can probably hold a couple dozen messages safely before running into issues, depending mostly on what the message is and how big the user's signature is. You might have to implement an archiving system of some sort in order to get it to work. —Aichon— 04:50, 21 September 2010 (BST)

Alright. currently it's at

• Pre-expand include size: 44366 bytes
• Post-expand include size: 9339 bytes
• Template argument size: 7294 bytes
• Maximum: 307200 bytes

The total is still quite a long way from 307,200 bytes. Hopefully that's a good sign. Also very good info to have, thanks. --~ 04:59, 21 September 2010 (BST)

Have the custom user id and the user signature code show up in the wiki markup code to copy

I would change it so that the generated user id, and the user signature code -~~~~ are already in the markup code that they should paste. See the example below:
1. Copy the wiki markup code below

{{GabbaGabba
|Gabba Gabba ID:= have the user id that they should use show up here mhz-ghaz- whatever
|Message:=
|URL?:=
|User:= -~~~~
}}

Less work for everyone, and they are less likely to make mistakes. -MHSstaff 05:52, 21 September 2010 (BST)
