I just noticed the notifications on my usertalk page, something I have never actually been to before, which is why I did not see the original warning you had sent! I completely understand the reasoning =P but I am curious as to the official starter template to user for the fanfic! Is there a direct link for it? I haven't seen any of the template links on the default page editing frame.
Fanfic will never likely be one of the default templates on WoWWiki. Fanfic is tolerated on WoWWiki, but not encouraged. If you want to write fanfic, you should go to WoWRP.
Rappy is right, it's the same reason why BackToTopButton failed to load on Firefox when the script was local and not imported. Chrome's javascript engine did not have this issue however.
I'll fix he source code over at dev wiki.
I haven't reported this specific bug because I only saw it on the Destruction Derby wiki. You should probably report it. I have a bunch of other bugs I'm trying to follow with Wikia. I also only use FF3 about 0% or less of the time.
It's strange to see a conversation on my wall that I'm not really involved with. I do think it's funny that Message Wall will use something silly other than your user name, if you want it too.
It's much harder for people to understand when the messages were sent if they're in pacific. Since Wikia as a server is in UTC, it's much easier for everybody to understand when in UTC.
Fran, the point of signing your posts is so that people can easily see the order and time of the posts, as everyone else is using UTC, you need to too.
The timestamp is not solely for your benefit, it is for the benefit of all the users on the wiki. I'm so sorry it took me so long to notice, but it confused me in a comment. The unsigned template has a timestamp field for this issue, although I do admit sometimes I am too lazy to look at the diff when including it, as an experienced wiki user, there isn't much of an excuse, and I'd expect experienced users to sign their posts.
Sorry, Fandy. I didn't realize I had to bug you constantly to change. I figured after the first 3 that you ignored that there would be no reasoning with you on it.
Yes, there's method to your madness. But it doesn't make sense when other people are using other time zones, it makes reading timestamps difficult. I can't force you, but I'd really like you to reconsider
Not me. What about "I just disagree with the 0 offset of UTC" doesn't make sense? Putting UTC-7 or whatever is not a replacement. That's like being Palestinian and agreeing to fly the Israeli flag in front of your house, putting "- the Occupation" on it to fix it.
No, this isn't ban-worthy business by any stretch of the imagination, I just wish you wouldn't be so stubborn. Out of interest, what does signing in your time zone (which disrupts everyone, including yourself, as you can't tell when others have replied in relation to your comment), have as an advantage over this script?
Fandyllic, at this point I have to believe that you are just being stubborn intentionally. You say that you sign in Pacific time for your benefit. Then we present an incredibly simple solution for you to use so you see timestamps in pacific time but all others see it in UTC. You say no. There is no reason you should be this stubborn about something so simple. Why not compromise and use the code Rappy gave? Nothing changes for you and we get a UTC timestamp.
Hate to ruin it for you, but the world doesn't revolve around you, Fandyllic. There are other people using this website. So if you'd just do a simple thing like changing this, I'm sure everyone would be happier. Or you can choose to be persistent and not change your signature just for the sake of having a special timestamp and ticking off others. Your call.
Funny how I didn't start any of this, but many people feel the need to chime in. I've taken many wiki breaks. Maybe I'm due for another. I don't know why this issue is so important to people and what I do is so important.
If other people's happiness really revolves around what I put in my signature, I really have misjudged human nature. Regardless, I guess one of my goals in life should be to make other people unhappy with what should otherwise be super trivial. Then I would be fulfilled.
It's not going to change, but I am starting to enjoy discussing the whole thing and all the attention. Maybe I will change if you can get Wikia to make it policy.
You are one of the most irrational human beings I've ever met. And, I'm assuming that I'm younger than you, you are currently showing to be one of the more immature people I've met.
Yes, you did. You started signing your signatures in PTC despite how many others have asked you politely to stop. Normal human nature, when confronted about something you're doing that is a hindrance to others, is to stop and compromise. I am not sure where your nature was twisted... but to take it one step further and purposely do it to annoy others really does show immaturity.
Hey guys, this thread is getting hostile and unproductive. Many of you have have offered Fandy ideas and options to work with. If he chooses not to, that is ultimately his choice. Let's move along, please. Thanks.
Ok, everyone I think everything has been said that's needed (and not needed). Please stop posting on this thread. It's moved beyond informative. Thank you!
to User:Fandyllic/global.css so it displays that globally on Wikia. Or maybe it was your browser which didn't allow you to see the difference; I am using Google Chrome.
Hi! I added a couple of clarifications to Forum:Message Wall info page -- didn't change anything, just added a bit of extra info for some of the items. There were a couple items that I might be able to answer, but I wasn't sure what they meant:
Edit/history/remove individual posts or replies. Not sure how edge cases will work though.
Consolidated wiki talk page/message wall notification. (Not exactly sure if this works in combination with talk pages.)
I can probably answer those questions, but I'm not sure what you want to know.
Anyway, let me know if I can help with anything. Thanks!
Edit/history/remove individual posts or replies. Not sure how edge cases will work though.
This are just the "More" dropdown links for each post/reply at the time I made the list. View source has been added since then and Edit only appears for post/reply you created.
Consolidated wiki talk page/message wall notification. (Not exactly sure if this works in combination with talk pages.)
Notification on other wikis of Message Wall changes looks the same as changes to talk pages. I didn't write this one down well.
Oh, okay -- yeah, that makes sense now. Just so you know -- "view source" in the dropdown is an option you can set in preferences. The default for that is turned off.
You can check out my additions here -- obviously, feel free to update and actually turn those into sentences.
