User talk:Highway

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my user page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

I'd like to hear a reply! Just click Edit above, and write a message under where mine ends - then, at the end of your message (on the same line) type four tildes (Like this: ) to automatically insert a nickname linked to your user page, and a date/time signature!

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around (-;

Enhancement pages
Are you creating those as you go? If so, you might want to change the enhancement entries on the character article template to links too, so the users creating characters know they can link them. [e] ·  t  &  c  19:05, December 27, 2006 (EST)


 * That might be beyond my scope of understanding Wiki programming but if you can show me :) ... - Highway 19:10, December 27, 2006 (EST)


 * Mmkay. I'll take care of it then. It's not difficult - wikiML isn't as hard as it seems at first. (-: [e]  ·  t  &  c  19:31, December 27, 2006 (EST)

Templates
I reverted one of your edits - the character's name shouldn't be the heading of a section, just a kinda big prelude to the character description. And on the other page, I see you found out how to do that! (-: [e]  ·  t  &  c  20:09, December 27, 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, I saw... Dunno, maybe a little too big but I see where you're going with the style. - Highway 20:11, December 27, 2006 (EST)


 * Just remove one of those odd ' ' widget pairs then (-;  [e]  ·  t  &  c  20:14, December 27, 2006 (EST)


 * Done. - Highway 20:19, December 27, 2006 (EST)

Category structure
I think I have an idea - instead of creating a second page for the NCL on these, why not put the NCL on the category page itself? That way users can use either system - here's an example. [e] ·  t  &  c  20:09, December 28, 2006 (EST)


 * Sounds/looks ... make the final style change you want and I will use that for future creations. - Highway 20:13, December 28, 2006 (EST)


 * Ok, give me a moment... 20:36, December 28, 2006 (EST)
 * I'm working on Template:Charactercategory/category at the moment. When it's finished, I'll let you know, and you can use it on the character's categories. Gotta love wikiML! (-: 20:55, December 28, 2006 (EST)
 * Got it! You can go use it now, see Template talk:Charactercategory/category for some basic instructions.  21:45, December 28, 2006 (EST)

Personal code
Re: this edit - I didn't mean you couldn't use the .css and .js settings, I just meant if you don't know what your doing edits like this are a bad idea. Why did you delete the JS code? Also, you were trying to put it in the wrong place - I am beginning to assume your a sometimes wikipedia editor, no? We aren't wikipedia, or like them in any way really. Our code branched out around 4 versions ago, and since then has migrated far from the nest so to speak - the number of hacks and extensions, not to mention this design, are all of my hard work. Very little but some of the parser code is true to the original script. Trying to use tools developed for Wikipedia won't work here, without major hackanatage (I invented a word! yay!). 21:23, December 28, 2006 (EST)

You around?
Hey - I saw you edit a character page just now, but you haven't removed the PPoIs here nor replied to any of the conversations. In any case, I'm setting up a sort of forum for the wiki - tell me what you think when I finish! 04:20, January 6, 2007 (EST)
