Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:43, 25 May 2006

Welcome!

Hello, Deon, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Here is my reply to the question you asked on the Misplaced Pages:Help desk: Just add {{attention}} to the top of the page. Though not a big red box, but a big blue one. If you believe the content is false and not represents a NPOV, {{TotallyDisputed}} might be appropriate. There are also other templates, see the See also section of this page.

Vandal Fighting

FYI, pages that should obviously be deleted can be reported directly to admins if they meet the criteria here. Simply place the text {{db|insert reason to delete page}} on the top of the page to delete, substituting in the reason to delete. An administrator will come by in a few minutes and, if it meets the criteria, delete the page. Other info is available at WP:VAND. If you have any other questions, ask me! Happy editing!

VandalProof Registration

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof; however, I'm afraid I can't add you to the approved list at this time. You have only three edits in mainspace and only seventeen edits in all namespaces, which does not demonstrate that you have enough experience with Misplaced Pages to be trusted with this tool. You have to understand that VandalProof can be potentially very harmful when used incorrectly, either intentionally or unintentionally, and as such, all users must have sufficient knowledge of Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, as well as substantial experience in dealing with vandalism. If you would like to resubmit your name in another couple of weeks, once you have had more experience using Misplaced Pages, I would be more than happy to reconsider. Thanks.

helpme

I've removed the {{helpme}} for now, add your question and the tag to your talk page with the question. I'll answer it. -- ∞Dbroadwell 02:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, as you can see, i am an NP and RC Patroller, and was trying to add the godmode-light script here yesterday, to try to get the rollback feature, but it just wont work.. Do you know how to make it work? I've got Lupin's tools, and Popups also, and i tried to add the godmode light script, and the whole lot just broke. :( --Deon555 02:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Sadly I'm not able to support those, I don't use them. I'll try passing the question on to #wikipedia-bootcamp on freenode. -- ∞Dbroadwell 02:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Awesome, Thanks. --Deon555 02:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Suggestions (added as recieved); GML_Fix and the VoA script includes lupin's stuff, so he should only have the VoA thing, remove the other stuff and the clear their cache once they make the change: Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5. From Command_Keane.

Alrighty, well I cleared the whole monobook.js page, and started again. I've taken Lupin's out. Left VoA's in, put the godmode-light.js script in, edited the 1 to a 2, from the GMLfix.. Now i'll go look for some vandalism :P and let you know how i go, Thanks everyone for your help. --Deon555 03:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Popup Probs

Please use {{helpme}} on your talk page rather than your userpage. Also, I don't see a question.--Commander Keane 05:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am having troubles with Popups, each time i hover over a link, a prompt saying 'Notifcation Popups error: op or cl is null! something is wrong'. --Deon555 05:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

It's difficult to diagnose, and this question may be too specialised for a {helpme} editor to answer. I would try removing everything except popups from your monobook.js, clearing your cache and then seeing if it works. If it does work then that means that there is something wrong with the other stuff. Please try the Help desk if this doesn't work.

You could also try removing everything and just placing:

//Admin-like RC Patrol tools

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
            + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:VoA/monobook.js' 
            + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

//

This code includes rollback, popups and lupins vandal filter. Remember to clear your cache when you change your monobook.js. Also keep in mind that rollback doesn't appear on every page. To test to see if you have the rollback button, look at this page.--Commander Keane 05:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Policy Patrol

Heya, nice to see you volunteering for all kinds of maintenance work. For policy patrol, you need to know your way around guidelines, essays, policies and soforth, and understand the relationships between them. And especially you need to understand that they are mutable by consensus, and how that mechanism works.

Hmmm, I've checked your edit history and haven't found evidence of this kind of knowlege there yet, so far. Of course, feel free to talk with me and prove me wrong as often as you like, at any time, now or in future! :-) Kim Bruning 13:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
