Isotope ProjectWelcome aboard Splarka, thank you for joining the project. Right now our goal is to get this thing officially started by May 9th. I think if we set everything in stone by May 1st, and then have a vote on it, I think we can meet that goal. I predict this project will be challenging, but quite rewarding in the end and a great resource for wikipedia. oo64eva (AJ) 02:08, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
Voting for standardizationHey. The project officially starts today. We're holding a vote here, it ends May 12th at 3:40 UTC. — oo64eva (Alex) (U | T | C) @ 04:05, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - RevertThe edits by 65.185.114.20 do seem to be vandalism, but I think you mistakenly reverted one by 67.165.6.50 from over a day earlier. Not all IP edits are vandalism. However, I don't know which book the quote is from either. Splarka 18:18, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Black Oak imagesHi Splarka - you've put these (Image:Quercus kelloggii (tree).jpg, Image:Quercus kelloggii (bark leaf).jpg) on the wrong page - they should be at California black oak not Black oak (an eastern US species). I'll move them across - MPF 17:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Bolt cuttersThank you for answering my image request for bolt cutters. The animated picture was lots of fun! ;-)
Pyramid of 35 spheres animation.gifHi, glad you like my image. I realised it was big and I'd be delighted if you can improve the size, quality or anything else. (Someone proposed it for a featured picture at Wikimedia Commons, whereupon it was duly savaged by the regulars for being too small: guess they just have different standards.) You may be able to get decent results just starting from the double-size GIF version also at Commons (Image:Pyramid of 35 spheres animation large.gif) but you're certainly welcome to the original 16-bit PNG frames or indeed the POV-Ray source (which I was vaguely planning to upload anyway) if you think they'd be better. At the risk of gratuitous self-promotion, may I add that I reused this code to render a four-dimensional sphere stacking which I added to Pentatope number? Any technical improvements you can make would also apply to this—and it's in even more desperate need of being made smaller (over 40 frames vs 24). —Blotwell 02:31, 5 August 2005 (UTC) There is currently a vote on the Higgs boson talk page over whether or not to merge the pop culture references article with the main article. I noticed you've previously contributed to the debate, so your vote would be helpful in establishing a consensus (or, perhaps, a vote of "no consensus", in which case the problem will be referred to AfD). Thanks! -DMurphy 21:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I did run the javascript css plugin format tool thing over the pages as well though, to take out the whitespaces that were left behind, and that is probably what caused it. I apologise for the inconvenience caused. Sadly, I haven't the technical ability to be able to work out how to correct the tool, so maybe I'll avoid it's use on talk pages.

FA stars no longer in classic skin?I'm trying to figure out what change made the FA star (from template:Featured article) recently stop appearing in classic skin.

Bobo. 18:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC) Spammy links on Borescope pageOn November 23, 2006 you removed most of the external links, claiming they were spammy. The one link you left is to a history of a particular borescope manufacturer. While I am not a final judge of what constitutes a spammy link, I think that the links to a discussion of how to choose a borescope and borescope technology are at least as good for the Wikipedia users to see as those to the history of a particular borescope company. If the definition of spammy is "no link to anywhere on a company web site that has an interest in the topic", then all the external links should go. Otherwise, I believe that links to a page on a company site that is providing general information on the topic should be OK. Obvious links to blatant advertising are clearly spammy and I agree with your other link deletions. .. 01 February 2007

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Can you help me with something else?I currently have a code that adds an extra tab to my userpage which I have customized to add notifications that users have been blocked and I modified it to have a popup requesting the reason for the block however I can't figure out how to make it have a second popup requesting info on the duration of the block. Here is the code in question with the part I need help on boldened: FlexiTagConfig.tabs.push( { name:'uw', namespace:['User_talk'], tagset:[['subst:nn-warn|%twinkarticle','Creation Warning'], ['subst:spam-warn|%twinkarticle','Creation Warning'], ['subst:Warning|%prompt(Warning is?)','Warning'], ['subst:test1article|%twinkAarticle','Creation Warning'], ['subst:Gblock-i|%prompt(reason for indef block)','Blocked'], ['subst:GBlock|%prompt(reason for temp block)|*DURATION*','Blocked']] }); For some reason when I try to add another prompt code it doesn't ever come up. So what I've done is just put in "*Duration*" which I change to the duration of the block manually after it has been posted. How can I make a second popup box popup where I input the duration of the block? Wikidudeman (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Ambigram questionI produce the weekly WikiWorld comic which is published in The Wikipedia Signpost, and I've been thinking of illustrating the article about ambigrams. I really like the rotating ambigram that you've produced, and wondered if you could tell me a bit about how you created it. Would it be possible to have one or two rotating images within a single gif file - or does the entire image have to rotate? (If there's a way to include your image file within an explanatory WikiWorld comic, that would be terrific.) Please message me at wikiworldcomic@yahoo.com if you can help.

Well I think it'd make a fine addition. Just put a note that it'll break IE. Their suckage shouldn't stop everyone else from having it in there. Regarding User:Splarka/contribsrange.js though... Is it possible to have wikilinks honoured? Right now edit summaries are in plaintext, but I imagine links are possible? (If that's the case, then you could potentially also do {{page}} and {page} point to [[Template:Page]], making things even cooler!) ~~~~

I've submitted a bugzilla on it months ago describing what a change should look like at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12452 but everything else on wiki is done in php, so the devs don't know how to fix it.

contribsrange.jsHi Splarka, I have a quick question about your contribsrange.js. It seems that the results it returns are not sorted chronologically, is this an API issue or a script issue? Thanks, Prodego talk 19:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Username replace functionNice to meet you. My name is Broad-Sky from Japanese Wikipedia. Currently I develop new voting system on jawp. May I use "Username replace function" which you made on Uncyclopedia? I want trying to develop with this script. Wikipedia is available under the terms of the GFDL but Uncyclopedia is CC-by-nc-sa.

if(window.disableUsernameReplace || wgUserName == null) return;
var un = getElementsByClassName(document, 'span', 'insertusername');

var d = 0;

At the moment, they can put a name in, or else appear as 'Anothernewbie', and usually the first question is, 'what is your Wikipedia login name' - often followed by an explanation of why we need it. I know that the Java applet can accept a user name as a parameter, but I can't find out a way to pass that from the Wiki. I've looked up bits about it, and understand why {{CURRENTUSER}} isn't enabled (re. caching); just wondered if you knew of a way to give out the $wgUser - in a similar way to [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q={{BASEPAGENAME}} Google me].

Is there any way to manipulate the text as well or can you only do CSS styling to them? Rappy4178 (talk) 03:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
table.diff a[title="User:MantiBot"]:after, ul#pagehistory li a[title="User:MantiBot"]:after, ul.special li a[title="User:MantiBot"]:after { color: #FF8C00; content:" [bot]"; }
(reset indent) I found out the problem. It was the popups for the link mouseover causing the problems. Is there a way to use the :after and content like you showed above to color the entire user name + content. Your example above only colors the [bot] part with color #FF8C00. The MantiBot part is normal link color. Also, is there a way to capture ONLY normal links to the user page, and not diff or history links? Like only capture "User:Rappy 4187|Rappy" links?

AjaxsendcommentTwo things: 1) I am now shameless ripping this off, and tweaking a copy of it to fit my circumstances (great script by the way). So thanks for that. 2) If I get really bored, I'm going to have a go adding in a checkbox: "Add to existing section called this, if it exists". Obviously, this is going to be a lot more complicated than the present design, but if you have any brainwaves I'd love to know.

Just giving you a heads-up! L3lackEyedAngels (talk) 18:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC) Passing arguments not to be parsed by mediawiki.I am trying to create a template to contain data that will not be parsed for whitespace or the like by mediawiki.
An example of the template itself can be found here.
Currently, if I pass something like: Essentially, I would like to have something similar to <pre>{{{1}}}</pre> in my template, but you know that that is not the way for it to be done. I have also tried using nowiki, but that gets rid of any line breaks or whitespace and defeats the purpose. user:chzz and user:Hersford provided me with a lot of help on IRC, but aren't sure if this is even possible, and suggested I ask you. Please let me know if this is in fact possible, and if my example isn't clear enough or you don't understand the question, I will try to reword the best that I can.

softfocusI made a small change to your softfocus, because I was told that some browsers are confused when you link to a section (it's a 50/50 between autofocus to section or autofocus the search field).

So first, let me thank you for it. May I ask for a feature though: would it be possible that the script automatically suggests a new filename if
Hi Splarka. Could you possible develop a script similar to this for use over at Commons? They have a slightly different rename template, and I'm not sure how to adapt the code. Thanks! –Juliancolton | Talk 01:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
I wonder if I could bug you about another request? I just went back to moving some files and noticed that the script will not check whether a target filename exists at Commons. As such, it's possible to choose a name already used by a file on Commons that will overwrite that file when displayed here. Needless to say that this is inconvenient, so I wonder, is it possible to check if the target exists at Commons before renaming?

The background is following: I introduced your to Japanese Wikinews with some adoption of ja:User:Cpro. A Wikinewsie found it a problem due to license differences between two projects (GFDL/CC-BY-SA-3.0 dual on Wikipedia vs. CC-BY-2.5 on Wikinews) and the script is now on deletion request at ja:n:WN:DR#MediaWiki:Gadget-contribsrange関連. If you and then Cpro are okay to re-license the script (or nod to triple-licensing), we can save the script and be benefited. If you are okay just nod here on your talk. The jawikinews community will then be soothed. I hope to look forward getting your favorite :) Cheers, --Aphaia (talk) 13:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I was trying to get it working again, and had a question and suggestion. 1) Do I need to be using monobook for it to work? (and if so, would you consider updating it to work in Vector, now that this is about to become the default skin?) 2) The User:Dschwen/highlightredirects.js script works really well, and if you haven't seen it before, might give you ideas for improving the dabfinder. Much thanks. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
You are now a ReviewerHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC). Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

ContribsrangeI want know if it's in your plans to internationalize the Contribsrange tool so that it can be translated into German and why not in Italian! In particular, it's important to translate into your language the text that appears as a subtitle: Javascript-enhanced contributions lookup 0.2 enabled. You may enter a CIDR range or append an asterisk to do a prefix search. Thank you. Raoli (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Diffs before December 2012 not showing upHello - I've been using contribsrange for a long time and it's very useful, however I'm hitting a problem at the moment. I posted it on VPT before I realised there was a link via Mediawiki to your talkpage, so I'm copying it across here. See thread at WP:VPT, here. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 10:56, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Question re. the feasibility of your excellent CIDR range search script supporting IPv6Hi, just wondering whether it would be feasible to add support for searching by IPv6 ranges, within the limitations of the MediaWiki API framework. I only just came across a pioneering edit by a v6er today, and as it was blatant vandalism I decided it'd be worth checking out a bit of a range around it to see what else the person in question was up to. At that point I discovered that whatever group okayed edits solely identified by ipv6 addresses didn't bother to check whether your script could cater to these. This kind of seems like something that TPTB should have considered, given that anyone using IPV6 is either a) a technical enthusiast with a permanently logged-on Wikipedia account b) editing from a mobile device on which changing a biography to read 'John Smith is a dick' is difficult enough, and forget actually contributing something useful c) a naive user in an oppressive country who doesn't realize that they are now being uniquely identified to the home or even device level by anyone who cares to look at the information they're sharing. Would it be feasible to add IPv6 CIDR range search capability to your script? Nevard (talk) 13:40, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

sadtruths and contribsrange.js questionsOn User:Splarka/sadtruths, the link to RYB color model#Limitations and eccentricities has a broken anchor. I'm still thinking about how to fix it; I could do it myself except that I'm not sure whether wikiquette is meant to discourage all edits to other users' userspaces (as on some other wikis). Any comments/suggestions? As for contribsrange.js, it looks like some edits from May of this year (or at least the most recent edit) haven't been merged into the gadget version. Why? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 04:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Time missing in listing of user contributions by script for IP rangeHi Splarka, thank you for having written the script to gather user contributions of an entire IP range ... but there is some (minor) flaw with it: even if there is a "timestamp" inside, there is no time of each user contribution entry, only the date. Question: is it possible to adapt the script so that also the time will be listed? Please see also this description in the german WP. Affected are the following scripts (english and german section; I fear those of other sections too ...): EN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Splarka/contribsrange.js DE: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-contribsrange.js ...

User:Splarka/dabfinder.js (4)Boy, your script must be popular, this is the fourth thread about it . Anyway, I fixed a few bugs with your script here, documented the changes at on the talk page, and multi-licensed my contributions to the script as public domain/CC-0 (I noticed your userpage statement) here. So the script should stay free. I guess I just wanted to let you know that I Beta-tested it.
