Revision as of 21:54, 22 November 2007
Conversions
How does your conversion script work? I'm tryin to get this page converted so it has both sq km and sq mi. Someone told me about Template:Convert, but i have no idea how to use it Ctjf83 19:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Here is how to get my script working.
- 1. Copy the entire contents of User:Lightmouse/monobook.js to the bottom of User:Ctjf83/monobook.js.
- 2. Clear your cache by pressing ctrl-shift-R in Firefox. If you use Internet explorer, press Ctrl-F5.
- 3. For any page, click the tab called 'Edit this page'. You will then see some new tabs, press the tab called 'combined'.
- Any questions, just ask. Lightmouse (talk) 20:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- ok, i did that, but a bit confsued as to what these links at the top do Ctjf83 04:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- You asked me how to add conversions, those tabs add conversions. Go to Peoria, Arizona. Press the tab called 'edit this page'. Then press the tab called 'combined'. You will see that it adds conversions. Try it. Lightmouse (talk) 09:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- ok, i see what it did there, but that doesn't work for List of countries and outlying territories by total area and that was the main place i wanted to see the conversions Ctjf83 16:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- I see. You are right, it will not work for that page. It only works for non-metric values where the value and unit name are adjacent. Sorry. Lightmouse (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Your Bugs Bunny edits
I just found where you de-Wikilinked a great many dates--most of which were of the " in film|" variety--in the article Bugs Bunny, and was sorely tempted to revert. Has there been a new Wiki policy concerning them put into effect? The articles those links led to seem to still exist (I haven't checked all of them, of course; there's just too many), so I am wondering. Ted Watson (talk) 19:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Plain year links are very common and add nothing to an article. Those links are not plain year links but they look like them so it is not likely that anyone will click on them. If you think that it is important see 'year in <blah>', then perhaps they should be made explicit.
- This is why some projects say things like:
- Do not use piped links to "years in music" e.g.
], instead add (see 1991 in music) where you feel it is appropriate.
- Do not use piped links to "years in music" e.g.
- I was being bold and delinking them because I think that they add clutter. If you disagree, feel free to revert, I do not mind. Lightmouse (talk) 21:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
