That custom portal slider was designed by Tierrie at Dragon Age Wiki. There are several separate components involved in getting it working (CSS, javascript and templates). To get an idea, take a look at this page that explains it. You can ignore the Components and Twitter sections on that page, as they are not associated with what you're wanting to use.
It's been a long while since the last time I helped setup that slider for a wiki, but if you need it, I can help out sometime this week.
OK, I've got quite a lot editing experience, but I don't think I've ever seen something that complicated on wikia... Some help is appreciated :). Just say it when I have to do something!
This is about the Scan2Go Wikia site and the individual episode articles. I'm wondering if the following idea is possible and if so, how / what is the best method to implement it.
I'd like to provide a way to allow people to rate an individual episode and report at leat the average rating. Other websites following various TV series (e.g. TV Guide, TV.com, DirectTV, etc) allow people to rate an episode. Some sites use stars, while others use actual numbers. An example of numbers is TV.com, which allows people to vote at the .5 (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc) and then provides both the number of votes and the average. (NOTE: TV.com used to use an increment value of .1, but changed to .5).
Initially I thought about creating a poll using stars or numbers, but I can't see a method to average out the score, which IMHO is very important. Seeing a bunch of votes won't help people, as they want a single number (for the most part). Some people would not mind seeing how many 10, 9.5, 9.0 votes there were or how many stars (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) there were. An EXAMPLE of a site showing BOTH is Amazon.com for both items and TV series. You can see the overall average and how many people voted for each choice (1, 2, etc stars).
I'm hoping this is possible. If it is NOT possible:
1) Is something close to it possible?
2) If nothing is possible, can we propose, recommend, promote the idea .... assuming you like it or think it is worth trying to add to wikia.
Every time I try to change my avatar, it says:Saving user data failed - your data should be a plain text. I'm not copy/pasting or using symbols. I don't know what's wrong.
Oh and you can reduce the brightness of that image, if the background becomes too bright and disturbing. If so, you can change the color of the image and make it brown like here.
I just added the slider to the main page using those 4 images. The formatting for the slider code is this, which you'll see when you edit the main page:
Obviously, you'll need to replace "Primary caption" and "Secondary caption", and you'll want to fill in link= with the page being featured. Note that you do not need the usual double brackets with the slider. So for example, if you wanted to feature the Player Ideas page, that would simply be link=Player Ideas.
Let me know what else you'd like me to help with on the main page.
Thanks for the slider, it's great! I think I have only one request left: could you redesign the tables we currently use / design new headers for the subjects please?
Btw, I'm going on an one-week-vacation tomorrow, so I won't have time to respond till next week.
I made a test page on my sandbox wiki. Take a look and tell me what you think.
The heading is using a Google web font (Michroma), which has sort of a sci-fi style. The advantage of using a web font is that you can have custom headings that are as easy to edit and/or create as headings using plain text, because that's actually what you're doing - using text but displaying it as a custom font that everyone will see, regardless of whether or not the user has the font installed on their computer.
I know about that maximum file size etc., but the current image is 147 kB. If only the little bit under the page is added, the file's quality doesn't deteriorate that much, does it? Or am I wrong?
Hello, a litte while back you made this logo for the Gravity Rush Wiki. I was wondering if you could change the color of the logo so that the glow around the text is orange like in the game's logo.
You'll need to redo each reference's information so that it looks like the example seen here (the red text).
For example, change this...
(Introduction to Public Librarianship |author= McCook, Kathleen de la Peña |year=2011, pp. 38-39. |isbn=978-1-55570-697-5|unused_data=New York, Neal-Schuman)
...to this...
<ref>McCook, Kathleen de la Peña, ''Introduction to Public Librarianship'', (New York: Neal-Schuman, 2011), pp. 38-39, ISBN 978-1-55570-697-5</ref>
Then under the References section, insert <references />.
To remove the Template:Clear broken link, just delete {{clear}} below __TOC__
Wikipedia has its uses (especially when the complicated wheel has been created) - but also occasional 'transformed in translation.'
'Category of things which are fiddly and time consuming' (between 'obvious once explained/just follow these three simple steps' and 'can somebody with expertise sort it out please')
Does the 'This page has been deleted...' message mean that the wiki in question is merely dormant (but reactivate-able), or 'likely to vanish in the near future'?
Neither of those situations. The message has no effect on the activity or status of the wiki.
All that message means is that the page you're trying to view was deleted. The message also includes the date and time it was deleted and which admin deleted it.
If you are an admin on the wiki, you'll see a (view/restore) link at the end of the message. Clicking that will take you to a special page where you can restore (undelete) the page if you want to.
