Entirely Angry
I still don't agree, but meh. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- I remember when Pescodcide/Dullstown used to be constantly green, and we'd regularly break into buildings, killing survivors here and there. But I wouldn't describe the place as anything but safe, because we could all bank on getting a headshot, inside or out, within the hour, and the survivors a revive as soon as they stood up :) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:45 27 January 2009 (BST)
- I always find it boils down to your definition of a group of zombies. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 15:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Because I had first hand information, as per my report on the suburb page. There is an active zombie group of above 10. Even the suburb's own news page admits there's a "hot spot" of zombie activity. Good enough? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I want to get a feel for how reliable the EMRs are, and having a suburb show up as no standing zombies, and hours later be classified as moderately dangerous is an anomaly :P -- boxy talk • teh rulz 12:10 9 January 2009 (BST)
- Yeah I was in a hurry and should have changed it and recorded why in the comments box. I was just being lazy! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Template Question
I'm trying to figure out how to display the month in which a page was last modified in named form. I know {{REVISIONMONTH}} exists, but it displays the month in numeric form. This would work, but having both a date and month expressed numerically can be confusing, as their positions are interchangeable in common usage. Anyway, I tried to create a template {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} by using code from wikipedia and {{REVISIONMONTH}}. This has failed and I can't figure out how to get it to work. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. --Zarneverfike 07:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- What do you need it for? The revision date is at the bottom of pages for me, already. For example, "This page has been accessed 15,589 times. This page was last modified 07:44, January 6, 2009" is at the bottom of this page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:26 6 January 2009 (BST)
- I wanted to use it in another template: {{Mobile Phone Mast Coverage}}, based on the Monroeville and Borehamwood population templates. I wanted to include a last revised date on the template, so it would be convenient to see how current the network coverage number was. Using the revision templates would make updating the mobile coverage template slightly easier, as only the % number would have to be updated. Like I said, {{REVISIONMONTH}} would suffice, but I think having the month in named form is potentially less confusing, and also, in my opinion, looks better. I tried playing around with the {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} template a bit, but its above my wiki editing skill level. Oh, and yes, if templates created for this little project fail / aren't used a speedy deletion will be their ultimate fate. --Zarneverfike 22:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'd guess that the problem is that we don't have parser functions installed in this wiki (I think). Pity really, because I could use it in one of my projects -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:03 7 January 2009 (BST)
- I think I may actually have gotten it to work. Turns out {{switch}} was used prior to parser functions on wikipedia, and was a valid template here. Anyway, I'm almost certain {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} works properly now (though I guess I won't know for certain until February.) Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Also, I'll submit the two unused templates created in the process: {{MONTHNAME}} and {{MONTHNUMBER}} to A/SD. Thank you again for your help. --Zarneverfike 11:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Edit: Given further thought, {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} is useless, as it would only display when it was last revised. Its code is now directly included in the mobile coverage template I was working on. {{REVISIONMONTHNAME}} will join its cousins in the speedy deletion queue. Thanks anyway for the help though. --Zarneverfike 11:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- You might also want to put that failed template up for A/SD by the way. Unless you can change it over to something useful or that works.--– Nubis NWO 11:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
I made something to this effect in ProjDev. Just haven't quite bothered finishing it yet. Depending on how soon it's needed and how major a part of the project it is I could always fast track it for you.--Karekmaps?! 06:46, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it ended up working, but not as I intended. All the revision templates called the final page they were included on, and not the phone mast template. It would be slightly preferable if I could figure out how to make them work how I want them. In the mean time, I've resorted to tildes (which work fine, but are an extra step for anyone updating the template, and produce a more precise, but less aesthetically pleasing result.) --Zarneverfike 13:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Info Locations
Why this and this? I was wondering, can we do redirects for categories (for this problem)? For example, redirect 'Category:Police Dept' to 'Category:Police Department? --Janus talk 21:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- No, redirects don't put the pages into the other category -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:01 6 January 2009 (BST)
- I see. What was the problem with the old system? --Janus talk 14:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
The DRAMA!
Wow, I've only been gone since November and it seems in that time span the whole place has gone to hell! J3d got demoted and A/VB is full of trolling! The whole place is falling apart. How did it happen so quick?--SirArgo Talk 06:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Two months is a long time on teh interwebs -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:14 5 January 2009 (BST)
No more trolling than is usually done. :) -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 11:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Signing
Thanks, are you refering to anything specific?--Captain Rickety 00:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Not really. I was going through your contributions to see what was going on when you broke the STARS redirects, and noticed that a lot of your talk page contributions weren't signed. It makes it very hard to work out who said what unless you sign (and timestamp) your talk page posts -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:23 5 January 2009 (BST)
