RegExTypoFix
I've tried adding a local RegExTypoFix to AWB, but it's not working. Any idea what I've done wrong? -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:08, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure; I wasn't able to get the Wikipedia typo list to work here either. Maybe ask at wikipedia:Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser to see if anyone there can spot the problem or otherwise elucidate why it isn't working. =/ 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:56, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Card Galleries
Thanks for fixing the "!" issue in that card gallery. Its in a lot of them, and I never could figure out how to avoid it. Is there any reason you removed the "perrow" part? I really think a row of four cards looks better than a row of three and a row of one. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 21:14, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem; it looks like the syntax has been copied between a lot of them without the people really understanding what it does. As for perrow, depending on the image size, number of images, and browser window width, it can force horizontal scrolling (particularly on the fixed-width Wikia skin). It's better to let the browser decide how many images should be displayed on one line, and to grin and bear it when the browser seemingly makes a bad choice (in such cases, you can probably blame the gallery extension before you blame the browser; in my experience the extension isn't as clean and well-tested as it should be). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:20, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's exactly what I did, actually. Delt had done a few card galleries, and copied what he did and modified it for other galleries without really knowing how it worked, so there may be more errors in them too. Fair enough on the perrow issue, I'll leave it be and go ahead and fix the other galleries per your changes later. I'm actually working on a new one in another tab right now, so I'll fix that one up before I save it to. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 21:23, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I went through and fixed all of the chapter card galleires per your fixes, with the exception of ruby card names. My knowledge of both kanji and wikicode is not sufficient for me to figure out that really works. Out of sheer curiosity, what is "!!" actually supposed to do in the table code besides screw up the spacing? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 22:29, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * "!" at the beginning of a new line in wikitable markup indicates that a header cell should be generated. If you have more than one header cell in the same row, you can mark the end of the current cell and the beginning of a new one without moving to a new line with "!!" - for example:


 * results in


 * Once you get the hang of it, Ruby replacement is pretty straightforward. The template requires two unnamed parameters; the first parameter is the base text and the second is the ruby text: --> . This is the same as the code  : Base text(Ruby text).
 * When you're converting the latter to the former, the important things to look for are the &lt;rb/> and &lt;rt/> tags, which contain the base text and ruby text, respectively (&lt;ruby/> is the "container" tag for the whole thing, and &lt;rp/> contains text that is displayed when the browser doesn't support Ruby markup - the previous example will display as "Base text (Ruby text)" in Firefox and older versions of Internet Explorer, for instance).
 * There are cases where the Ruby markup will be more complicated, but these are relatively uncommon, and you can leave them alone and ask for help if you're not sure how to handle them. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:02, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, maybe I'll give it a try later. It's something else I can add to my list of things to do when I a edit a card article too. If I edit any given card article, I generally deploy the anime and manga appearances template if it's not there, and get rid of overlinking (which is rampant everywhere for some reason). So there's something else to add to that. Thanks. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:42, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep. I actually started up my bot a few days ago to do some of this stuff... I got it auto-replacing Ruby markup with Ruby without any problems, and then immediately proceeded to bash my brains out over a regex bug in AWB which is currently stopping me from similarly auto-deploying the card appearances templates. =/ I've noticed the overlinking, but haven't really been doing anything with it myself; I don't think there'd be any simple way to automatically delink stuff if it's already been linked, so it'd be the type of thing I'd have to do manually. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:01, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was wondering why that wasn't being deployed quicker. Heh. And overlinking is a real pet peeve of mine. Other wikis seem to have underlinking problems. To me, overlinking looks really messy, and it's everywhere on this wiki some reason. Ultimately it's a minor thing, but my OCD disagrees with the rest of the brain.

 * Something I've just noticed. Template:Decklist seems to be showing all three lists by default instead of hiding them. Also, to be sure my browser is right, ruby text should only appear in the Cardtable header, correct? I'm not seeing it where the actual "kanji" parameter is displayed when a page is saved, just in the header. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:32, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, that's a known issue; see Forum:Move away from Anime-Common.js and company?. Correct, the ruby version of a card's Japanese name only appears in the card table header. Confusingly, the "kanji" parameter is what is used for the ruby name, whereas the "jpname" parameter is for the ruby-less kanji name (really, the Japanese name parameters need to be reworked, but updating all 7000+ transclusions would be one massive job). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:00, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright then. Yeah, that's excactly what was confusing me. I'm attempted to use the template at "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" earlier, but I'm not sure what I did wrong. It's looked close when I edit preview, but one of the furigana was over the wrong kanji. I'm going to try again and save the page. See if you can tell me what I did wrong. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:02, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

 * Heh, glad to see it gave you so much amusement. =D You might be surprised how many phrases like that there are in English that most people (including native English speakers!) get wrong (but then, it's probably the same for most any other language; I'd be very surprised, for instance, if someone told me that there are no easily-confusable gestures in ASL). ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:01, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

 * All right, perhaps my question would be better phrased as: are there any hand signs that you have trouble keeping straight? (this might be because they are very similar visually to each other, or because their meanings are very close, or anything else) If you do, chances are good that others have trouble with them as well, and would confirm my initial statement that I find it likely that even sign languages such as ASL have vocabulary that native speakers find easily confusable. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:40, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's good question... Only thing I remember seeing other civilians back in my E School (Class that below Middle School) was that they had trouble making a sign for "Pie" and "Pizza", since they both had almost exact same old ASL sign process (P-shape hand slice on the palm in X line) so I had to take over the "shop" to correct the shopper's understandable of which is which. But for now, Pie has same shape as "Stop" (open hand, thumb away, smashed on palm, but for Pie, just slice in V line on the palm instead) while Pizza has spelling Z twice (X-shape finger, shake in the air that following the Z way, quickly) to make it easier to understand them apart. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  18:53, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aah, cool. =) (I can't say I really understood your explanation of the signs, but that's more because I'm not familiar with ASL than that you didn't explain them very well) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:21, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Possible template conflict
Weird issues at Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Chapter 053, none of which were present before my previous edit. I replaced ruby code. Not sure if its the cause, but now Template:Chapter summary doesn't seem to be working and the "next" and "previous" infobox parameters are now displaying chapter links not by chapter name, but by number.

I think we'd also be fine with an email, if a wiki member known for their veracity were to state that they had received such an email. Really, that whole bit needs to be either given a source or simply removed; speculation and claims of "I emailed them and they told me this, even though I can't prove it and none of you have ever heard of me before, so no one can vouch for my honesty" don't have any place in mainspace articles.

 * It's likely remove from play, as usually when a card specifies removing one in order to use it, the removed card is typically removed from play. --Dark Yugi (talk • contribs) 17:39, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Usually, you probably won't get complaints for doing so, but some editors may take offense at it. The main exception for this might be correcting a redlink or something, though even in that case, you should probably explicitly tell the person exactly what you changed and why. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:09, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

That being said, there really isn't justification for calling you a "moron" for your behavior thus far.
 * I don't think you need a block, though you do need to understand:
 * You cannot use card images on your user or user talk pages. This is because all cards are copyrighted and we do not have permission to reuse images of them, so whenever we do use them we must use them within the terms of fair use.
 * If you have downloaded a card image from Wikia, chances are it was from this wiki, and so uploading it here just makes a duplicate file. We also have naming conventions for card images that should be followed when uploading them.

Deleting
There are some things online administrators should know, at least in my opinion. between them, one particular applies to this situation. If dome1 took the time & effort to create that forum, and it didnt botter ANYONE that it was kept, then i dont c why it should be deleated, but if you do find a reason of why it should be done, then that is why talk pages exist, to discuss the ´´Life´´ of a page. Talk Pages are pages adjunted to the pages, that etc. ok if u suddenly deleated that page i bet it was because u didnt know what a talk page is, but if u do this again i'll just have to think its a reckless act that should recieve its apropiated treatment.

I deleted the page because you stated that if you could delete it, you would ("ok, i get it, some of you don't like this forum, i'd delete it if i could, but i can't."). In addition, it was originally tagged for deletion on December 17, 2010, neither of the two subsequent edits removed the template, and it remained in place for ~100 days subsequently. As far as I can tell, there was also no discussion anywhere about keeping the page.

If a week goes by and you still don't see any emails, please submit a help ticket via Special:Contact, and include a link to this conversation. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:09, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the speedy response; it seems to be working properly now (I got an email notification of your message). It's rather weird, though, I don't think I've ever clicked the "Unsubscribe" link in any of my email notifications... *shrug* 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:37, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know! (And that's concerning that you don't think you hit unsubscribe but received that behavior. I'll keep an eye out for more cases like that.) --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:43, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
