NOEDITSECION Theory

I have a hunch that adding __NOEDITSECTION__ to the top of pages actually helps against vandals, as they're very lazy in scrolling around. =P --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 04:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Ad suppression

Hey, noticed your message to Skizzerz about the ads. I think this in your CSS page should get rid of 'em.

#bannerAdBox {display:none;}
#towerAdBox {display:none;}

Cheers, — najzereT 00:32, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I dunno then, bro. "bannerAdBox" and "towerAdBox" are the ids for the two ad divs from a page source I looked at, and it worked for me when I tested it in my BlueCloud.css. You could try using {display:none !important;} instead, although that wasn't necessary for me. I assume you used Ctrl+F5? Oh well, good luck, maybe Prod knows of a better way. — najzereT 20:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Noscript :D. Those two tags work for me. What skin and what browser do you use? -- Prod (Talk) 23:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
BlueCloud (that's the default one, right?) and Firefox. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Multiple edit warnings

Hey, just a heads up – making multiple, rapid-fire edits is no longer a warnable offense. See {{consolidate}} for our new approach. BTW, did you ever get the ads sorted out? — najzereT 17:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Warcraft III

Can you take a look at the human info on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos/Undead units and clear out any that isn't useful to transfer over to the relevant human units and buildings pages? -- Prod (Talk) 06:57, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Concerns about your edits

I know you're trying to help with cleanup and whatnot, but I feel that some of what you're doing is counterproductive. These are some things that I think will help both of us and the wiki as a whole.

  1. Put "subst:" in the beginning of message templates (e.g. {{subst:consolidate}}).
  2. Don't hide edit summaries unless they contain copyrighted material, offensive content or personal information, per SW:AG.
  3. Put cleanup tags above the {{Header Nav}}.
  4. Don't stub articles that have 10+ sections, all of which have content.
  5. Only use {{wikify}} to signify that the page needs wiki markup.
  6. Make your edit summaries meaningful and descriptive.

In general, sticking a bunch of cleanup tags on a page isn't all that helpful, especially when they don't include a reason. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I do hope you take these points under advisement. Thanks, — najzereT 17:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll just leave cleanup to you =P --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Upcoming meeting

As a reminder, there is a meeting this Saturday, May 29, on IRC taking place at 2:00pm EDT (UTC -4). As always, agenda is available on the forums, so you may view it and suggest additions there. Hope to see you there! --Skizzerz 04:03, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
