Nav box "prevparent" for 1.7.4/5/6
So hey Majr, I'm pretty new here, and I wanted to get your input on why you did a thing a certain way.

On the 1.8 snapshot pages, even for those released prior to 1.7.5, you changed the Navbox field 'prevparent' to 1.7.5. My instinct is that the 'prevparent' for those older snapshots would be 1.7.4, but I may be misunderstanding what 'prevparent' means. Any advice on why it should be 1.7.5?

Naturally this has implications for whenever they release 1.7.6 as well, which is why it comes to mind now.

Sealbudsman (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I see it as being in version order. All those snapshots are for 1.8, thus they come after any 1.7 versions, even if they were chronologically released before. –Matt ⎜ 01:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Template Person - Adding Reddit field
Hey Majr,

I've been wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a field in the Template:Person for reddit accounts. Notch, jeb, Grum and Dinnerbone are extremely active on reddit and I've also seen TheMogMiner, Searge, Junkboy, Mollstam and Johan post there too. It may lead to the template becoming too cluttered on employees' pages though...

Block rendering
I've noticed that you seem to do a majority of the 150x150 images used on the pages for blocks to show what the block looks like. I'm guessing that this is done in a 3D application, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get the template for making my own? WiduX (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:Version
The links of the Playstation 3 and Xbox edition links need to both link to the Console Edition version history pages. Also, the Xbox version is now 1.6.1 (TU seems to be used interchangeably between both Playstation and Xbox360 editions) and the Playstation 3 version is now 1.05. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Are we not able to just have a single console version instead of separate ones? –Matt ⎜ 03:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I suppose so, but the problem is that although the content in the 2 versions is exactly the same, they have different version numbers. Also, please update the version numbers in Template:Version - 1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * What about the TU versions? –Matt ⎜ 04:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:History
Hi Majr, would you be able to make it so that links in Template:History are changed from Xbox 360 to the Console version history page? Would it also be possible for you to change the headers to console edition and add arguments so that I can change any references of the xbox edition to console edition?

It will be useful if we can show the newest development versions by Template:Versions. Pocket Edition version history/Development versions a20001017 Talk 04:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Table CSS behavior help request
Collapsible sortable tables don't seem to be working properly. As far as I can tell, the  class is capturing mouse clicks, preventing them from reaching the hide/show button. Happens in every browser I've tried (Firefox/Opera/Chrome), and I don't know CSS well enough to figure out how to fix this. -- Orthotopetalk 19:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It's nothing to do with CSS. The table sorter JS is preventing clicks from bubbling up, so it never reaches the collapsible table's delegated event which is bound to #mw-content-text. I guess I'll have to bind sortable tables directly. –Matt ⎜ 02:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

A bit of help with DPL
Do you know of a way using Extension:DPL's  parameter to include check a specific unnamed parameter instead of all of them? Specifically unnamed parameter.

--KnightMiner</b> ( talk 21:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You can use include to retrieve specific parameters from templates and then process the results; this is what I used for the crafting usage system. Since there's no DPL function in lua, I had to call the DPL parser function and then process the result manually into a table, but lua is so fast it's really not a problem. –Matt ⎜ 12:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean using  as a filter to receive only templates with   equal to the string inserted. My problem was it checked both   and   for the result. I was wondering if you knew a way to fix that, or if I was better off using categories like you did with crafting usage. --KnightMiner</b> ( talk 03:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * includematch receives the template call, so you'd need to try to match the second anonymous argument, which isn't really doable without enforcing the template call to be written in a particular way. With a named argument it'd be easy. –Matt ⎜ 05:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * DPL seems overkill for this anyways, if I'm understanding the problem correctly; I would recommend just using . 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:42, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

"name" is the name of your spritesheet " CSS.png", without the "CSS.png" and ids will become "Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemSprite/IDs".

Names of bugs from the bug tracker
Hello,

I'd said on the 14w25a page that we don't change bug report titles that come from the tracker, and you'd asked me, "says who".

I couldn't find who had said it specifically, but over time I've seen it happen that someone would fix the grammar or spelling on one of those titles, and some other editor -- someone with a lot of contributions who I'd run into over and over -- would come back and say that we don't change bug titles. Enough so that I came to believe it was some kind of standard, if only unofficial.

Is there some kind of standard? I would have thought those would be similar to titles of linked references, which I would have thought it was important to reproduce faithfully.

Appreciate your time.

Mobs & Ladders
Hey Majr,

Recently made some edits to the Slime and Silverfish section about those mobs being able to climb ladders, only to have them removed. Just wondering where the proper place to put those is (if not on the main mob page) since they can be useful for creating mob farms. Most people are probably not aware that those mobs can climb ladders, since based on their physical descriptions it would not make sense for them too.

 * It is already stated in the appropriate place. –Majr ⎜ 08:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Understood. I just felt as though it may be a worthwhile addition considering most of the other hostile mobs have it listed under their behavior (zombies, skeletons, creepers, zombie pigmen, endermen, witch, etc). TheCKAGT (talk) 08:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't do. Any behaviour that is shared with most or all mobs only needs to be on the mobs or mob AI pages. Individual mob pages should only say how that mob's behaviour differs from the norm. –Majr ⎜ 12:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Ok, on another note, should I change all of the Fixes titles so the url is not in the header? Also, what should I do with pages like The Update that Changed the World, Horse Update and Redstone Update? I was thinking they should redirect to the respective page, ie The Update that Changed the World redirects to 1.7.2, Horse Update redirects to 1.6.1 etc. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 08:04, 1 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Since external links in headers causes the section edit anchor to break, they should be removed, yes.
 * My initial thought was to redirect those pages and move their 0th section to the version pages, however those pages also contain a summary of the most notable changes, as an alternative to having to dive through a mile long list of everything that was changed, which would be a shame to lose. It might seem a bit strange to have both the summary and the full list on the same page though. Maybe if the summary was really cut down to be concise it could fit it, but I'm not sure. Needs other opinions. For now, just make sure those pages have the correct link to the full list of changes when the pages are split. –Majr ⎜ 08:30, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * You can set white-space:normal on the parent list element, but it doesn't make the dot stay on the same line then. The sub-list should really never contain more than 2 or 3 items because of the default nowrap. –Majr ⎜ 10:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Not sure at the moment. Alpha and prior don't have much information per version, which makes it hard to justify splitting them up (it's even short enough that the tables don't look super terrible). We might move them to better titles and get rid of the tables, but I think we're going to keep them on a single pages. Beta has a few reasonably sized versions, but also many small ones, so I'm not decided on if it should be split or not, but those tables have got to go.
 * What you could do is try the other editions with version nav and make sure it will work fine with them, since I only ever tested the computer edition. I know for one that we'll need to be able to trim the edition from the version number in the navigation part or it'll be too long and look cluttered. –Majr ⎜ 12:51, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I understand what you mean by the navigation looking cluttered - for the 1.0.0 pre-releases/release candidates as well as some of the 1.7.10 pre releases, the navigation gets split over two lines, which makes it a bit cluttered. Also, the Beta 1.8 pre-releases are still on the Development versions history page, so those need to get untableised (is that a word?) and probably put into separate pages. So Beta 1.8 would probably need to be on its own page but that leads to a problem where some Beta versions are on separate pages but some are not. As an alternative, I could move the Beta 1.8 pre-releases to the separate version pages, but forget about converting Beta 1.8. In regards to testing the other editions, do you mean the Pocket Edition and Console Edition? Are they going to be transferred over to the new format as well? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 13:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've done a test of the latest pocket edition version - Pocket Edition Alpha 0.9.5. The Pocket Edition in the nav links need to go, but apart from that it mostly looks ok. However if we make a pocket edition versions template (like the computer versions template), should i prefix each version with Alpha or just list them without the world Alpha? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 02:18, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it's worth splitting out pocket edition and console edition, don't think we'll worry about pi edition though...
 * If the navbox has an alpha section, then I don't see the need for the prefix. –Majr ⎜ 02:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

hlist CSS
Hey Majr, is there any particular reason you chose to develop a custom version of the hlist class instead of just using the version developed on Wikipedia? And would there be a problem with switching to the current version (especially considering it's been added to core and so we'll be getting it sooner or later regardless)? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * At the time I copied it over (April 2012), it was the pretty much the same, minus the non ul related stuff and with nowrap added. And aside from changing it to use inline-block instead of inline because I seem to remember there was an issue with IE, and using a square bullet instead of a round one, it has stayed the same since. After making the modifications necessary for our use, the only differences between our version and Wikipedia's current version is the hlist isn't inline by default, and if doesn't set the second sub-level to a smaller font size. –Majr ⎜ 02:57, 6 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The current version on Wikipedia doesn't change font-size at all, and only sets individual list items to inline (and due to a plethora of bugs in IE that couldn't be fixed without causing other bugs, it doesn't nowrap anything any more, either). I would hazard that it might be time to try updating to the current version, which has been thoroughly tested simply by nature of its use on Wikipedia, and that if we have problems with it, the cause almost certainly resides in another CSS class interfering with it (and thus that the other class needs fixed). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 12:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The only potential changes that updating would make would be having the list items inline instead of inline-block, and not making the second sub-level a smaller font size. I don't like having second sub-levels used at all, and if they are I'd prefer them to be a small a possible, and as for changing to inline, I don't know what difference it will make so I don't care which one it uses. –Majr ⎜ 05:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Template/Module request
If you are not too busy, can I request a lua module/template from you? I tried coding it using wiki code, but the code was a major mess. I figured lua would be ideal for such a complicated template, and I have not learned lua well enough to easily add the features needed.

Basically, on smaller monitors (including tablets), breaking row causes problems alongside the infobox, and this template would fix that by placing the information in columns. Visually it would appear as shown here. Other important features include:
 * Multiple columns support, for use on articles with multiple different hardnesses
 * It would contain an optional description parameter, to shorten titles ("Wooden Pressure Plate" to "Wooden") or display multiple titles (Sandstone and Quartz Stairs in a single column)
 * It would automatically hide the shears, sword, or main tool row if empty

This is part of the idea of adding breaking times along with the proper tool on articles in the obtaining section.

–<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 03:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it really isn't possibly to do multiple columns with the separate template for each row model, because you need to have all the blocks on the first row, all the tools on the second row and so on. The only practical way I can think to do it is to make the entire table in one template call, rather than individual ones, which complicates the markup...
 * You could either use individual numbered args:


 * Or a wrapper template that takes some delimited text and turns it into a table, using templates inside to generate the delimited text:


 * Which would generate this text, to be used by the wrapper template:


 * Either way, the markup sucks and it's not a simple task, especially to avoid having a separate template that duplicates the code of breaking row, just to flip it horizontally... –Majr 04:16, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I figured out a few of those things. There really is no way to add a column onto another column, without using a separate table that appears to be connected.
 * As for the markup, the former one was my initial plan, but most of the code was so redundant, I stopped there. I had removed a bit of the redundancies using breaking time, and that also allowed all the tool values to be in one place.
 * One other idea for the markup:


 * Still somewhat complicated, but it keeps everything in the original parameters, much simplifying the markup when a signal block column is desired.
 * –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 13:41, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've made an initial implementation of the horizontal configuration at Module:Breaking row/sandbox, as I don't have time to properly test if it breaks anything. I'm not too happy with the placement of the "Breaking time (seconds)" row as a title, but I'm not sure where else it can go. If there's no hardness column then it's okay, but otherwise it seems strange. –Majr 09:08, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, lua seems to dislike the insertRow function parts containing rowArgs[1], as it believes rowArgs[1] to be a nil value, rather than args[1] when in row mode. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 16:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * No, it just isn't set up to be invoked directly, so you're not actually passing any arguments to it. –Majr 02:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * That would make sense (did not know modules could do that). It looks good so far, although it may be nice to hide unused rows, such as shears and sword on stone, or the main tool on wool. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 04:07, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I should explain that further: You can use  to get the args that are passed to the parent frame (the args set on the template which is invoking the module), so that way you're not having to manually pass them through in the template (, etc.), which is ugly and actually has worse performance. Because of the way tables work in lua, and especially because of the way Scribunto handles arguments, there's no easy way to check if any arguments have been passed through. You'd have to iterate over the table and merge them together (one of the things that Module:ProcessArgs does). So because of that, I only set the module to accept both direct args and parent args if there is an actual need for it in normal usage. For example: Module:Sprite does this, as you can feed the sprite's settings directly into the module.
 * I'm working on hiding columns now. I'm also thinking about how description or multiple titles will work. I don't think a description would work too well for a horizontal table, as you'd have to have quite short lines to avoid stretching the table. I think multiple titles will work better, which could be implemented by changing the separator to  then use   as the titles separator.


 * It would be nice to be able to use separate cells for the individual blocks, but setting the appropriate rowspan on the header cells won't work very well when one column has 3 rows, and another has two. You'd have to have one of the rows spanning two rows, and the other only one. It would work fine for the vertical table though. –Majr 05:04, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I did notice the documentation for #invoke on mediawiki state that as if it always happened, while the actual manual for lua explains frame:getParent a little.
 * The syntax for the titles looks good, just as long as it is also supported by the "sprite" parameter (and if blank, returns args[1]).
 * There was a trick that allowed "half" cells, simply by using the least common multiple as the additive rowspan of all the rows, although that may be a little extreme just to arrange the lines.
 * showtool seems only hides the column marked as "tool", and not the five tool grade columns, and with the intended use of the template, that may be helpful to hide them rather than listing the empty columns
 * Also, I found two bugs. The parameters to show the columns do not affect the entire table when in row mode, and the wikitable new row (|-) is only added at the end if the foot is set.
 * –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 18:26, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay, I've been busy with other things and forgot about this. Multiple blocks per row in now implemented. For sprite, link and item, if only a single value is specified that will be used for all the blocks in that row, otherwise it will only look at the value for that particular block, or if it isn't specified, use the default. Eg:, only the cake will be an item, as sandstone is set to 0, and stone isn't specified at all, so it defaults to 0. If there's no further issues, I'll copy this over and this can start being used on pages. –Majr 05:48, 5 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I'll see if I can break it then. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 15:51, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Have not been able to break it, although there is one minor difference between the original and the sandbox. In the original you could set args.link to a blank string and it would have no link, but in the sandbox, that defines it to the default link. It is not too much of a problem, as visually you can set the link to the page name for the same effect. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 16:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm yeah, that'll be because the args are normalised now. It can be a bit confusing having a blank argument actually have an effect, so I've added a "none" option like other templates have to remove the link. –Majr 03:51, 6 November 2014 (UTC)


 * So I assume no further testing is needed and this can be deployed? –Majr 09:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I was about to ask the same thing. I have not found any issues, other than a slight syntax update for replacing "link=" with "link=none". Although, the only cases that use that already will need to be made horizontal. I think it is ready.
 * We might want to have a bot replace usage of "mining table" with "breaking row|horizontal=1", rather than change that all manually. Errors might need to be fixed manually on stairs and other multi-block articles. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 14:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

 * In response to the tables auto-adjusting for smaller screens, that definitely isn't the case for me. See, on my iPad the table makes it a lot wider than the desired page width.

 * I'm assuming the iPad uses iOS Safari, which supports flexbox but not flex-wrap, which is obviously quite important for wrapping to work. I already have a fallback for browsers that don't support flex-wrap or -webkit-flex-wrap (which basically accomplishes the same as the divs you added), however the fallback requires support for @supports, which iOS Safari also doesn't seem to support... I'm not sure how I can fix that. –Majr 07:13, 19 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, the reason why I put the div marks there is that it seemed to do the trick on my iPad (see this screenshot from the earlier revision). Not exactly sure how it will affect other devices, but on my laptop it looked fine with the div marks. I know it's not ideal but if you can't find any other way that might have to do. –<b style=color:#282>Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 07:26, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Adding the divs does the same as removing flexbox entirely. What you see there would be the same regardless of screen size, which wastes a lot of space. For reference, this is how it is supposed to look at various screen sizes: large, medium, small and tiny.
 * I don't see a Chrome for iOS on the support lists, only Chrome for Android, which does support both flex-wrap and @supports. –Majr 08:34, 19 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've removed the -webkit prefix, so webkit browsers that don't support flexbox unprefixed will fallback to the 1 column display. This forces safari to not use flexbox which it doesn't properly support. This also sacrifices flexbox for a small portion of browsers which could otherwise support it, but it's preferable to fallback to a space wasting design, rather than an outright broken one that safari was getting.

LoadBox template
There are problems with LoadBox template, at least in Russian template :ru:Шаблон:ЗагрузкаБлок. ru:Шаблон:Предметы is a “colored” Navbox, but anywhere it is used (for example, Призмариновый кристалл) “colored” is only Navbox title, but must be all line. Screenshot:

Block render for redstone dust?
The current image used for the redstone dust infobox is an overhead view. Would you be willing to do a block render for redstone dust (isometric, or whatever we use for all the other blocks) that cycled through various power levels and configurations? There are 16 possible flat configurations (not showing how it visually crawls up the sides of blocks) and 16 power levels, so I'm thinking we could probably run through them at the same time. &mdash;munin &middot;  &middot; 17:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Rendering transparent blocks
Hello!

From the near past (December 26) I begun to render blocks for mods, for use in Russian wiki.

I want to render the empty socket from the Blood Magic mod. But it is a transparent block and it must be rendered as such.

I use this block model by Russian user Atributz. Its usage is documented here (Russian-language original).

--Naista2002, now NickTheRed37 (talk) 10:44, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Use the model above. –Majr 12:37, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * It does not have a documentation on how to use it. --Naista2002, now NickTheRed37 (talk) 13:18, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

 * I don’t understand :( – Nick the Red37 — ru.wiki moderator (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to teach you the basics of blender. Besides, I use a really old version of blender, with a completely different interface. Anything I teach you probably won't be the same. –Majr 10:38, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * My Blender is also not the newest, 2.66.1. And I can’t update it, because I use Linux Mint 16 which is no longer updated, and I do not want yet to update the OS.
 * By “I don’t understand” I meant that I cannot find where to actually set textures for each side. If I keep the texture as is, it shows a proper dirt block, but I don’t see why, because the texture’s type is shown as “None”. – Nick the Red37 — ru.wiki moderator (talk) 12:25, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Then, the first page says that wgRevisionId returns zero in history pages. How to determine the last edit's ID while in page's revision history? Isn't this:

var lastEditID = decodeURIComponent($('#pagehistory > li > .mw-changeslist-date').prop('href') .match(/&oldid=([0-9]+)/)[1]);
 * a correct way to do that? --Naista2002, now NickTheRed37 (talk) 13:39, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's correct. You're not viewing a particular revision when you're on the history page, so  can't return anything.   on the other hand, can and does.
 * It is a way to do it, but the config value is simpler and faster. –Majr 13:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

 * What “yes”? I need to have my script fixed. – Nick the Red37 — ru.wiki moderator (talk) 10:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I would assume your problem has to do with the way you are calling the Api, when a variable is assigned the api directly, it returns something along the lines of "[object Object]" when requested as a string. See below. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 15:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * What? How I would access the last patrolled edit’s ID from that object? – Nick the Red37 — ru.wiki moderator (talk) 15:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Define a variable within the .done(function(data)) after the api call to "data.query.logevents[0].patrol.cur", then within the same function do anything that will use the variable. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 00:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! – Nick the Red37 — ru.wiki moderator (talk) 07:49, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * You never actually asked me to fix it.
 * KnightMiner@undefined The variable assigned to the API directly is the request's promise object, which you can use to add callback functions to be called when particular events occur, such as done, which you've already used. –Majr 08:00, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Group changes on the Russian wiki
Dand0 has requested that the  and   groups be removed from the Russian wiki. Any objections/concerns ? — Game widow (talk) 14:58, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The  group is actually completely useless in the current setup, where the users group already gives the same right which   gives. This means that force preview only applies to IP users, which you can't assign user rights to, and thus can never make use of that group. I think previously we had that right either only on autoconfirmed or admins, but that obviously got changed at some point, probably in the hydra migration. If we're not going to change the force preview settings back, that group can go entirely.
 * is a curse thing, but for what it's used for it only makes sense to have that group on the English wiki. On that topic, that directors protection level which was broken in the hydra migration still hasn't been restored. –Majr 02:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Get the username of the last editor in javascript
How would I turn the username of the last editor of a page into a variable in javascript? I found a way to get the data using the API, but I am unable to figure out how to turn that into a string for later usage. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 00:38, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The API returns an object which contains all the data from your request, so you need to retrieve it from there. Looking at the revisions API, that would be . –Majr 02:09, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * So, I'd assume something is wrong with my retrieving/calling. I am trying the code:

<pre class=mw-js> var username; new mw.Api.get( {   action: 'query',    prop: 'revisions',    titles: mw.config.get( 'wgPageName' ) } ).done( function( data ) {    username = data.query.pages[mw.config.get( 'wgCurRevisionId' )].revisions[0].user; } );
 * But it produces an error. Is there a different way I should be using to define the variable? – KnightMiner  (t·c) 03:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Because you're using the current revision ID and not the page ID. –Majr 03:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Whoops. I fixed that, although now the variable comes up undefined when called later. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 03:25, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * AJAX requests are asynchronous. Anything that wants data from that request has to be done in the callback. –Majr 03:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * That fixed it. I was having some problems with it randomly breaking, although migrating the Api call to the main script seems to have fixed that (likely caused by racing functions, randomly the wrong one loaded first and broke the script).
 * Anyways, thanks for the help. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 00:37, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Which is why you should always declare dependencies, rather than hoping the script you want will just happen to already be loaded by the time you want it. –Majr 00:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I assume you are referring to ? I'll attempt that if I have any errors with the new setup. (since its working, I really don't want to mess with it unless it starts giving me problems) – KnightMiner  (t·c) 01:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * What you have is still a race condition, it just happens that waiting for your script to load takes long enough for mw.Api to be loaded, and it relies on some other script on the page already wanting to use mw.Api. –Majr 12:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Alright, I told it to make sure to load the api before doing the last bits of its code. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 14:48, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I see four errors with the second script.
 * The path of the query should be "data.query.users[0].rights"
 * The replace function should be a string and the escape character is "\" rather than "/". Although this seems a bit unneeded, as getting multiple user's rights would require expanding the code later to loop through the "users" array
 * You are missing a "}" two lines below the console.log
 * The entire thing is being called within another function, which seems to prevent it from being called directly.

Render
Can you do a render of my in-game skin? IGN: J_Hoch <sup style="font-weight:normal; color:#00E">t  1234567890Number  <sup style="color:#00E">c  22:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * As long as it uses the pre-1.8 format. –Majr 09:41, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Block render shading
What settings you use for shading? I’m currently rendering some blocks, but I get no shading. — Yours, Agent Nick the Red37 (t &middot; c) f.k.a. Naista2002 14:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The light source is on a separate layer to the block, make sure that layer is visible when rendering. –Majr 09:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * In my case, having the layer with light source shown only worsens this: when rendering the viewport (no matter which), not only there’s no shading, but there’s a dashed line going through the block.
 * P. S. Can you update your Blender and the model accordingly?
 * P. P. S. Sorry for latency, my dynamical IP again changed to a banned one. [1 ], [2 ].
 * — Yours, Agent Nick the Red37 (t &middot; c) f.k.a. Naista2002 14:02, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I can't view other people's support tickets, but if you post the IP I can review the block. -- Orthotopetalk 20:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Curse banned this IP address: 109.188.121.102. Sometimes, my dynamic IP address changes to that value and, in result, I couldn’t visit Curse sites. But this is off-topic. — Yours, Agent Nick the Red37 (t &middot; c) f.k.a. Naista2002 20:19, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The dashed line in the viewport is normal (it indicates the light direction), but it shouldn't show up in rendering.
 * I can't update blender, I only know how to use the old UI. Is the blend file really not compatible with newer versions? –Majr 10:24, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Might not be. I’ll try to render it in Blender 2.49b that I’ve downloaded just now.
 * P. S. http://www.blender.org/download/, http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual (it’s a manual for Blender 2.6x, but hopefully Blender 2.7x retain a similar interface).

 * I just used the model Majr mentioned here. You could transfer the coordinates and direction of the lamp from the model to whatever model you use if needed. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 16:49, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what? — Yours, Agent Nick the Red37 (t &middot; c) f.k.a. Naista2002 17:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * To get the same shading, either you can use Majr's model or you can copy all the data associated with the lamp into a model you use (coordinates, direction, luminosity, ect.). Its a little easier to do if you open the model in the same version as the version you are coping to. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 18:05, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Administrator promotion suggestion
I see that this wiki’s administrators are not very active. Yesterday, I saw a near-zero activity of them, which may be bad. This is from one side. From the other side, there are not much recently active admins.

So, that same day, when LauraFi suggested updating an interlanguage link at the main page, I said that it would be a good idea to make KnightMiner a new admin.

I need to know your opinion on this initiative.[added at 13:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)]

Player skin model
Could I have a download of the  file you used to render player skins? I'd like to make one that supports the 1.8 skin format, and it would be helpful to have something to base it off of, rather than building the whole thing from scratch. – KnightMiner  t/c 18:52, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks! – KnightMiner  t/c 14:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I finished updating the model to support 1.8's 4-pixel wide arm skins, though a few of the sizes of the overlays may be slightly off. Do you want a download of the updated file? – KnightMiner  t/c 17:55, 3 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure. –Majr 07:19, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Here you go, the file is designed for blender 2.49b.
 * There is a slight bug in the preview, in which transparent areas appear as black except on the hat, but I cannot figure out the difference between the two objects causing that, and it does not affect the final product. – KnightMiner  t/c 17:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

How to add crafting recipes?
Hi, I'd like to improve the Italian wiki recipe pages (crafting, smelting and brewing) but I don't know how to work with those crafting recipe templates... for example, how can I modify ? Where do I have to go to see that page? Thanks in advance! --Mainardicraft (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the “... ingredient” thing? If so, then click on the output resource and edit the recipe in the article it led to. — <b style=color:maroon;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t ⁄ c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 18:06, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * In the main crafting page there's a thing. the "Fabbricazione/Blocchi da costruzione" (Crafting/Building blocks) page is empty, but in the wikitext there is
 * I suppose the list is empty (there are no recipes at all in the main crafting page and in the building blocks sub-page), so I'd like to know how I can edit the recipe lists. I remember that some time ago it was something simplier, with templates done directly in the crafting page, but I'm not sure --Mainardicraft (talk) 19:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * You need to change the line (15)

category = type .. ' recipe',
 * in "Module:Recipe list" to

category = 'Ricetta di ' .. type,
 * to reflect your changes to "Module:Crafting". Otherwise, you are searching the wrong category. – KnightMiner  t/c 21:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * What line of what? How can I enter the invoked recipe list thing? Can't I just do this kind of thing with normal templates? Sorry if I'm a wiki noob but I didn't remember things were so complicated...--Mainardicraft (talk) 09:38, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Go to Module:Recipe list, count from 1 to 15, and after counting a number go down by one line; when you will count 15, you will be at the right line. And finally do the fix suggested by KnightMiner.
 * Maybe, at a performance and readability cost. See the Load achievements template.

Request of bot
Can you send to remove Category:Gameplay and Category:Version from the issues pages? They really are not helpful to the main categories, and are now included in a sub category in the case of gameplay (my bot is not an administrator to be able to do that). – KnightMiner  t/c 03:18, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I can't. Those pages all crash when trying to edit them. –Majr 02:15, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Do you know if the blacklist is causing that, or if its the watchlist bug again? If it is the blacklist, the pages could be temporarily unblacklisted to allow the changes, then blacklisted again. – KnightMiner  t/c 03:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I assumed it was the watchlist bug, as the bot crashed instead of showing any message, but it actually seems like it is the blacklist. I'm sure the cursebot group used to give admin permissions, but that has apparently changed. –Majr 04:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The other issue is it seems to skip half the pages, even though there is edits to be made and all the skip options are disabled. I can only assume it's because the pages are too big. –Majr 04:24, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

"you recently worked on an article"
Hi, I was wondering if you experience this, or have heard anyone else mention it: Whenever you edit anything, there is a popup from gamepedia saying "you recently worked on an article", with social media icons, and three buttons, something like "never again", "not this time", and "post". In my experience, no matter what I press, even "never again", I still always get that popup with every edit. And I would really rather not get that popup. Any advice? – Sealbudsman (Aaron) T, C, b 01:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Lua
This will be to be an ongoing topic where I shall ask questions related to Lua.

First: ru:Модуль:Участник:NickTheRed37/Nova/ШаблонКод – this is a module intended to implement ru:Шаблон:ШаблонКод and ru:Шаблон:ШаблонСсылка templates on Russian wiki. Testing grounds are here. The issue is that the module doesn’t show template parameters, however the code looks to be correct (and I even checked a similar code in Lua shell, and it worked). —  <b style=color:maroon;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a.

User:Majr/editcounter.js
It seems one of the recent MediaWiki updates replaced the API parameter and the JSON output of contributions to use "uccontinue" instead of "ucstart". As a result, your edit counter script broke. It can be fixed by changing line 125 from <pre class=mw-js> next = '&ucstart='+ucResponse["query-continue"].usercontribs.ucstart; To <pre class=mw-js> next = '&uccontinue='+ucResponse["query-continue"].usercontribs.uccontinue; – KnightMiner  t/c 16:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks. I was thinking of writing my own script for that, one that doesn't freeze the browser due to synchronous requests, but the curse profiles feature tracks edits (cross wiki too), so aside from separating edits by namespace (which is interesting) I don't think its worth bothering with. –Majr 01:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Need help with Lua
I've had a problem with my main module. Can you help me? The BlobsPaper.png 00:03, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * You are only allowing it arguments if it were called in another module. If you plan on invoking it directly, use frame.args, or use frame:getParent.args to call it through a template call. – KnightMiner  t/c 00:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't get the pages you provided. Can it be done using Module:ProcessArgs? The BlobsPaper.png 02:16, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it would be less efficient unless the template requires both being invoked directly and being invoked through a template. If you do not understand the frame argument stuff, you could just copy a few of the first lines from Module:Grid (lines 4-7, it will automatically allow the module to be called either within another module or via a template like Template:Grid does.) and make sure to change  to   so you are using the same variable name. If you want the module to be invoked directly, simply remove the ":getParent". – KnightMiner  t/c 02:43, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it is better to name the users' modules (and categories too) as "User:username/...", not just "username/..." (with appropriate namespace). &mdash; Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 07:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

DPL
Hello. I'm having issues with listing versions of all editions sharing the same version number using DPL, here (template here).

The version used in the test is 1.2. It works by listing articles with an appropriate hidden version category (ru:Категория:Версии 1.2 in the test) and each of the edition categories (ru:Категория:Версии for PC, ru:Категория:Версии консольных изданий for consoles, ru:Категория:Версии Карманного издания for PE, and ru:Категория:Версии Pi издания for Pi), with a separate { {#dpl:} } call for one edition.

The problem is... that the template only shows an article for Console Edition version, ru:TU5/1.2 (консольные издания) (off-topic: the article was created without pending discussion, so it has unsolved problems like a combined TUx/1.y version title).

Can you solve this?

Thanks in advance, &mdash; Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 12:31, 7 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, it might be because I want to list also redirects (which 1.2, Alpha 1.2 and Beta 1.2 are), and I haven't specified the settings to do that. My bad. &mdash; Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 12:42, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
