    Hey there SA. Just thought I would let you know that I am calling http://fablefanon.wikia.com/wiki/Diary_of_Falcon_Lionheart finished. If you really like it please nominate it for Feature Article. It would be grandstanding to nominate my own self.

      In a shameful display of brainlessness, I had to edit my post a few times. In the process I've noticed that < (less than) and > (grater than) are both converted to &lt; and &gt; respectively. This, of course, fails because it's inside a source tag, therefore displaying the encoding. I also noticed that, weirdly, the end source tag disappears upon re-edit. I'll probably report this at some point with screen captures. ;)

    Dear Mister Starfleet Academy: Your Template.
    CAPTAINZACH

    I am a user, who, like you, enjoys Star Trek, and trains. I was just letting you know that I saw your comment under the Layout and navigation updates post and I checked out your user page. I will be using your custom template (with some minor changes to my copy for my own specific wants) and I wanted to let you know. Thank you for making it available to anyone who wants it.

    Keeping it civil
    CzechOut

    Can I ask why you asked me to "keep this civil" at Admin Forum:What do I do with an inactive founder? I'm genuinely asking, because I thought I took the time to actually explore the facts as they lay in the logs of the wiki in question. Having no prior experience of him, I have no axe to grind with True Sephiroth. It didn't feel to me like I was doin' anything more than pouring cold water on smouldering embers. In order to improve my text communication, I was hoping you could tell me what things I said that you thought indicated inciivility. Thanks :)

      Awww! It was basically a joke, or an attempt to stop any worse comments being made by others. Though, I did think that these could be inflammatory, if taken the wrong way: “... You jacked this wiki.” “... thief in the night.” And my favorite: “To my eye, you've handled this whole thing, like a coup in a banana republic.”

      I actually agree with everything you said in that forum. Not surprisingly True Sephiroth hasn't replied after our withering remarks. I had already gone through that wiki (briefly) to make my first post. (So I didn't get caught out!) I hadn't found the... well you said it best... “political” undertakings that are afoot.

      If you're really looking for my opinion: You handled it fine. I like it when I see users stating their opinion in very philosophical posts, rather than resorting to caps-lock or swearing. Please don't get put off by my clumsy mediating, shying away from the truth hasn't helped anyone IMHO. :)

    Hey, I saw you were making lots of edits to your global.js

    I just thought I'd let you know that there's a really good way to test JavaScript so that you know if it works or not -- without having to publish an edit every time, or worry about the page not updating properly because of caching. (Maybe you already know this?)

    Depending on what Internet Browser you use (I use Chrome) there should be a JavaScript console in your developer tools. To get to this JavaScript console, all you usually have to do (it varies from browser to browser) is right-click somewhere on a webpage and choose Inspect element. That will bring up your developer tools. Then, somewhere in there, you should see a tab that says Console. You can copy/paste JavaScript into that console and run it from there!

    Just make sure that you re-load a webpage before putting stuff into the console. Don't copy/paste into the console twice in a row without refreshing the page, because that might have unreliable results.

      *Laughs* Regrettably, I have to say that I do already know of this feature! I use FireFox (mainly; I have all the main browsers). However, I'm not really comfortable with the copy/paste stuff. I'll spend the time to read the Mozilla help page soon I promise.

      That last session of editing my global.js was an absolute disaster. I was distracted... obviously. It should have been one or two edits! *sigh*

      Thanks very much for the post. I'm currently learning JavaScript, so I'm not used to picking out the errors and tend to use the console after publishing only if I cannot work it out myself. I'm better with CSS... honest. :P

      If you are learning JavaScript and want to take it seriously (like you want to "learn programming itself", not just "learn to do cool things for a wiki"), I'd recommend maybe getting a textbook from the library, or looking up tutorials online (the w3schools JavaScript tutorial is OK ish) to help you along the way. Professional programmers will use software known as an Integrated development environment, so if you'd want to get one for JavaScript and definitely code in that. (And then you can publish completed scripts to a wiki if you want, but it would be important to actually use the IDE for active development.)

      If on the other hand you're really just more interested in wiki editing and maybe picking up a bit of JavaScript to do cool things for a wiki in your spare time, that kind of serious approach might not be for you. In that case, you can just take things at your own pace :)

      Wow! Thank you, Mathmagician. Yeah, I am serious about JavaScript. I'm just a n00b currently, however, I do view w3schools already. (It's not that bad, format-wise at least, but they really do need to lift their game on grammar and typo fixing!) I hadn't thought about going to a library/bookshop to find stuff on programming. Well, I tell a lie actually, I was interested until I found out that "For Dummies" are books — not CD-ROMs. But that "it's not interactive enough" is a pretty lame excuse for myself, since I'm an avid non-fiction fan. I will have a look now; since you've reminded me of how annoying it is when I want to look something up and the computer is off. Thanks for the IDE link, I will definitely look into that.

      Thanks again, you've given me a lot to think about. Though, I have already been seriously thinking about web-design, at least, if not high-level computer programming for a few months now. However, if you'd asked me fourteen and-a-bit months ago (before I joined Wikia) I would have said "car-mechanic"... :)

    I'm not mad at you, I just honestly think that you need some time off for awhile, and I honestly think that you've been getting too carried away with your admin powers on LW!

      That may well be true. But you have been very rude and condescending to me recently. I've been stepping on egg-shells for the last year; so now you've blocked me I can actually get my point across. What's the matter? You can't cope with me having original ideas? Defend your argument with words, Corbin, not admin tools (Special:Block).

      Oh, and I have never got "carried away with [my] admin powers" by-the-way. I'm not the one protecting articles on LW, to stop a very keen editor from editing their own article. 'Classy'...
