Sith Page

Absolutely hilarious and one of the freshest ideas/events that I have seen in UD. If there is anything I can do -- either from a writing or wiki perspective -- please let me know. I can't wait to watch this latest offering from the PKA unfold. -MHSstaff 05:44, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'll definitely hit you up for ideas. I know Two Headed Sex Beast was looking for witness shots earlier today. Talk to him about it if you seem him around. He's helping with the contacts list. ~ _{06:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)}

SoN Map

While I do love the work I did on the BB3 minimap, might I suggest you avoid using it, and instead use something better? I made the TenTenMap after I got tired of reinventing the wheel each time someone needed a new city map, and I'm guessing it meets your needs quite a bit better than the BB3 minimap. Right out of the box, it can do everything the BB3 minimap does, plus it doesn't use any secondary templates, so it's a lot easier to work with. —Aichon— 17:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Quick side note: if you do want to go with the BB3 minimap, you should know that you're not using it correctly right now. The template you need to be grabbing is actually {{BB3mapper}}, which is essentially just a place to dump data for the map. It then can be passed a variable telling it which template to use to display the data, with BB3minimap and BB3bigmap being the ones we used in BB3 (I modeled it after the barricade plans, which do the same sort of thing). The TenTenMap kinda wraps the design and data up into one template call, and I just added functionality to mimic what BB3mapper does while being able to chop out the need for having an extra template per style. —Aichon— 17:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Aye. Thanks for the help. It was late when I started on that idea and I plan on coming back to it tonight. I just placed it there to get a feel for the look. I thought I had reverted that edit but guess not. I do love the BB3 map look and I'm glad there is an alternative. Looks pretty sexy. I'll hit you up if I get stuck and thanks again for the help. ~ _{18:20, 7 November 2012 (UTC)}

Yeah, TenTen should be able to look however you want, including BB3 style, and you can just use it as it is, rather than having to parse through my old code to figure out how to change it to meet your needs. That's always a time-saver. ;) —Aichon— 19:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

nice catch

but report first. place bot template second. --User:Sexualharrison06:58, 12 November 2012

Yeah didn't realize you had already reported. I don't always report spambots, but when I do, I template first and report second. The template has a link to A/VB/B so it makes it easy to spot in RC, edit in the template, copy username, click link to report. I'm sure we all have our own methods, though. ~ _{07:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)}

I'm with Vapor on this one, way easier :) PB&J 13:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

i just copy the name from RC into the bot template than use the link from there to take me to the page. helps get the credit with so many people hunting spambits nowadays --User:Sexualharrison14:46, 12 November 2012

PKA forums

Hello Vapor!

I suspect you might know/be an admin or mod. at the PKA forums, I've been registered and posted for about a week, was wondering if you could help speed up the process a bit?

Thanks! --Leiter 18:17, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey there. I am not a mod at this time but I will poke one for you so that we can get your account validated. Shouldn't be long now. Sorry about the wait. ~ _{19:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)}

Cade templates

I've been working on a cade template to add to each building, which indicate the local suburb barricade plan and UBP suggested barricade levels. It's supposed to look a bit like the status report templates and would fit right below them on the location's pages.

These are the ones I have so far. They're a bit rough, and I only created the EHB text templates the examples need so far, just to show basic functionality. Any suggestions? PB&J 21:15, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

One tic. I'll take a look once I'm done with the FA Cycle stuff I'm implementing. ~ _{21:17, 23 November 2012 (UTC)}

Looks good so far. You should change the line of code <td>{{{{{4}}}cade.jpg}}</td> to <td>[[{{{4}}}cade.jpg]]</td> in the fifth line of the template User:Peralta/CadeTemp2. Was there some more specific input you're looking for or help with a specific part of the code? ~ _{21:53, 23 November 2012 (UTC)}

Well, I'm just looking for feedback on how it looks and what it contains, and also for your opinion whether I should go with Option 1 or 2? And thanks, I didn't see that :) PB&J 21:59, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I think stylisticly it looks pretty good, though it may be hard to say at this point without any images. Perhaps put some images on and place it on a location page (you can always revert and use the page history if you just want to use an example). As for options, why not use both options. If the Local and the Uniform barricade policy match for a location, use option 2, if not, use option 1. This could probably be accomplished through an "If" Template combination. ~ _{22:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)}

Currently, option 2 would fit both needs, and would need a sepparate text and image for each of the 16 possible combo's, be it differences beween the two plans (EHB-VSB, RUIN-VSB, etc.) or when they dictate the same (like right now: EHB-EHB). PB&J 22:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Ah. I'd say go with option 2, then. 16 templates is not so much. There are about as many used for the various danger levels. I hope you've kept in mind that not all of the burbs have a local barricade policies. The template should have some way of handling situations like these (I think that they do. Honestly haven't had time to really pick apart the code yet). ~ _{22:20, 23 November 2012 (UTC)}

Nope, currently it can't handle a missing local barricade plan, but I completely forgot the if-template, so I'm going to take a look at the entire thing. And just to sketch it all out for ya: I'm going to have to make 18 text templates, 18 cade images and a symbol or image for each of the building types + the additional work for a missing barricade plan. Oh, and the template will be installed in all 10.000 location pages. I hate myself already. PB&J 22:28, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Yep, looks like a pretty big project. Might want to take a look at using AutoWikiBrowser (more info here). It is a semi-bot that can handle some automated wiki editing. It can be configured to work on UDWiki (though I haven't tried it yet, the manual says it can be done). Of course, with each template inclusion being unique, you may well be stuck doing things manually. Good luck. ~ _{22:40, 23 November 2012 (UTC)}

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure I'm done faster if I just go manually, since it has 4 variables, 2 of which are decided on by users. Well, I'm just going to take my time and work them all out before implementing anywhere else. When I install it, I want it done, rather than WIP. (I'll probably use one or more of the pages on my mainenance list as test subjects, since I already know what's on those pages). PB&J 22:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Help!

I was trying to comment on the de-escalation vote page, and I think I messed up the numbers in the against vote because before they counted 1-8 and now they are separated into 1-2 and 1-6. I really don't want to get banned for this, and I know there are people here who will have a field day with what will look like me tampering with votes. Can you please find my mistake and fix it before anyone has a cow? Thanks! Kitakaze 10:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Nevermind, its been fixed. Thank god. Kitakaze 15:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah someone beat me to it. Listen, the wiki is a different place that what you probably remember it. A/VB cases are less common and handled differently. Its much more discussion based, people just hanging out and trying to hold on to what is more or less a dying website related to a dying game. If you're serious about coming back, best to just sit back and chill and let the process take over. I don't know how the vote will end but worrying about it won't change things. More likely its making things worse. Good luck and all, though. ~ _{16:02, 20 February 2013 (UTC)}

Category:Inclusions

What's the go with all the categories being included in Category:Inclusions? Surely they don't fit there? Is it a template substitution issue? -- boxy 08:35, 12 May 2013 (BST)

Yep, those are all "inclusion only" pages. Pages which aren't easily linkable anywhere on the wiki. Its a project I started back in the the orphan template days. If a group or user made a group box or nav template or some other inclusion only type of page, I would create a category for them (i.e Category:CORAM), the page would be linked to on the group category page, the page would be categorized in Category:Inclusions and the group would be notified via the {{GroupCat}} template. The idea was that if we were creating internal links to orphans, there was a better way to handle it than the old method of simply linking them on group talk pages. Category:Orphans was also created around that time and the old {{orphan}} template was replaced by the {{OrphanPage}} and {{OrphanAlert}} templates. Admiitedly, the project faded into obscurity mere months after it was all set up. Nobody cares about the poor orphans any more. ~ _{16:23, 12 May 2013 (UTC)}

Hey man, how've you been? Not sure if you have your email addy hooked to this wiki account still and if you'll get this. I'll try emailing you later if I don't get a reply. Wondering if you'd be willing to come out of hiding to help with a little community project I'm thinking of doing for BB4. I want to bring back the Death Rattle Battle and could use another couple of MCs with a pension for zamgrh.

A/PM links in your userspace

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently migrating all the A/PM archives into the A/SA space. Your subpage here and a few others related to it have a large number of links to the A/PM archives, which will probably need to be adjusted to point to the new locations.
