Help!

Hi AzaToth, you seem to be good in designing barnstars and medals - there is a proposal for DYK which has been languishing primarily because the artist is on an extended wikibreak due to a personal loss. i have contacted another person here, but he is also away on a wikibreak. Would you want to take a shot at it? TIA, --Gurubrahma 03:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Your revert on {{tlsp}}

You reverted my change to {{tlsp}} with the edit summary "revert, unnecissary complication of template". Although confusing to one unfamiliar with template coding, the new version is entirely logical. More importantly, the change vastly simplifies usage for most users. For example, compare these two usages:

Current usage: {{tlsp|Example template||parameter1|parameter2|parameter3}}

New usage:{{tlsp|Example template|parameter1|parameter2|parameter3}}

The change is in response to a request that I help correct usage on Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace; simple usage is much more important than simple coding, in my opinion. That's one of the primary reasons for templates. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 19:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I was a bit to fast with submit so I forgot the most importatn detail. The template must be subst:able. _→AzaToth 19:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Why must it be subst'able? It was specifically designed for use on Wikipedia:Template messages pages. As it is, the pages that use them are currently broken and are confusing users who are unfamiliar with template usage. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 19:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

The common usage of {{tlsp}} is as I can see {{tlsp|template|<nowiki>param1=bla|param2=bla</nowiki>}} _→AzaToth 20:55, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

That was not the original usage of the template; it seems your edits to it has broken the instructions on Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace. I'll fix that page at some point, then. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 09:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

DYK medal

Hi, I like it. However, could you incorporate the sparkles that Bushytails got in the third version? Also, I was wondering if the "?" can turn or refresh into the thumbs-up sign that you put on WP:BAP some time back. I want atleast the sparkles because Bushytails has put in so much effort but is no longer around due to a personal loss. I like the idea of having a star on the medal - it looks fabulous. Probably, you may want to make the strap less gaudy or use a UN blue or use the red strap but with the design of FA medal. After making these changes, you may want to add it to WP:BAP in the DYK medal section so that we can start discussing asap and close it early. --Gurubrahma 05:42, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Ribbons

Hi there! How did you make all those beautiful ribbons? Do you have some 3D template for them or something? I personally created lots of ribbons for wikipedia, but these were 2D and did not have the pretty 3D touch... Halibutt 21:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'm only using GIMP _→AzaToth 21:53, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
  • So how do you make them look 3D? Pixel by pixel? Halibutt 16:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Just change the ammount of blackness to create the beweld effect, and a simple drop shadow. _→AzaToth 16:37, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Sorry to bother you again, but I still fail to understand how do I do it. Is there any script to do it with GIMP? I'm using the GIMP myself, but none of the scripts seems to blur the image the way you do it. Or is there something I'm missing here? BTW, I replaced the ribbons on my user page with those you made recently. Halibutt 18:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

{{Archivebox}}

Hello AzaToth – the following wasn't necessarily left for you on the talk page for your neat-looking archivebox template, but you're probably the best person to ask:

I like the look of this approach to providing archive links, but must admit I'm not sure how the correct links below the picture are created or controlled. Could someone bear to add a guide for dummies on this page? Some archive pages I've seen for particularly active talk pages need more than one (32kb) archive page to cover posts made within one month, so I'm not sure how that would work here either. I'd like to try using this template, so thanks in advance for dummy help!

I just hope I'm not missing something blindingly obvious!!  Thanks, David Kernow 10:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Follow-up:

Apologies; I didn't it make it clear that I was having trouble using {{archivebox}} in a page's source. I suddenly realised, though, that I'd forgetten to input it as {{subst:archivebox}} !!  Thanks for a neat template and the useful pointers. David Kernow 00:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

A real question

And this time I'm not imagining things. =) Here's my work-in-progress template: User:Locke Cole/Template:Infobox Single. Here's the page that doesn't like it: Underwater (song) (just preview it pointing the Infobox Single to my userspace version and you should see the issue). Any ideas (assuming you can reproduce it)? —Locke Cole • t • c 18:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. _→AzaToth 19:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. =) There was one other little odd side effect from your change with articles that had (for example) #3 UK <br> #6 US in the chart variable; this caused it to turn into a numbered list. I think I fixed that as well (you can see the changes in the userspace version or the live version at Template:Infobox Single). Thanks again. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 19:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Another one

Except this one works. Sort of. =) Check out User:Locke Cole/Template:Album infobox. It looks like it's messed up, but if you go to User talk:Locke Cole/Template:Album infobox and edit out the {{{Reviews}}} parameter so it's blank, it renders fine (or at least it seems to). Any ideas? =) —Locke Cole • t • c 20:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I notice it seems to be working right now, were you finished with this? As the template is protected, I've held off requesting an edit by an admin until I was certain you were done. =) BTW, I agree that full HTML is probably the way to go with these and will likely go that route in the future. —Locke Cole • t • c 03:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

{{boolspace}} and other recent creations

May I just ask why you've thought it necessary to create the templates:

• {{boolspace}}
• {{boolhash}}
• {{boolexists}}

when I created precisely functionally equivalent templates at {{Sif}}, {{Hif}} and {{Tif}} (this last one not so), to your knowledge days or weeks previously? You have also created an upgrade to my Tif template at {{Exists}} for which I thank you; why then also create {{boolexists}}? If anything the above 3 templates should be redirects.

I'm particularly proud of the Hif and Sif templates as they are beginning to provide substring capabilities in a template code that has long assumed you can't extract substrings. So I hope you're not just trying to "plagerise" here (in the soft sense of plagerise that works on a GFDL resource) as you seem to have some kind of a reputation as a "Template King".

On this note I've been thinking about how to actually extract substrings by using similar markup quirks, any ideas? -- Alfakim --  talk  09:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I did create them so they could be used as a boolean-chain. _→AzaToth 11:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

{{Infobox colors}}

this templates intrigues me. What exactly is it intended to be useful for? A given infobox colors rarely needs to be changed on more than one template... Circeus 20:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

As I have noticed, the colors seems to change often. _→AzaToth 20:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Care to give examples? besides, as I've just said, it's not like one color change requires the alteration of 2 dozen templates... Circeus 20:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar development guidelines

In response to some of the comments about archiving discussions, and how awards are vetted, last week I tweaked the Guidelines. No one noticed. I also archived the discussion that was used to create them. I just wanted to give you a heads up. evrik 18:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Portal:Box-header

Not quite sure; but read the talk page for that—we've been having many problems with IE and getting that edit link in the right place. —Kirill Lokshin 22:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I think I can see the problem with IE, when I defined top as 0px, it somehow remove that border, I'll try with 1px, that should work. If you don't know what I'm talking about: the edit link is defined inside a span tag. We then apply the formatting "position:absolute" to say that this box is defined outside the normal flow (that we want, the edit link have nothing to do with the title). We then also define the parent box to be relative, so the the absolute positioned box have something to snap upon (if we dont' have such a box, then it will be positioned relative to the windows as for fixed mode). The span is tho positioned absolute, with the coordinated relative to the parent box at right: 0px and top 0px. _→AzaToth 23:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikilove? wikicivility?

Someone just swooped in and nominated the Wikihalo Award for deletion. What an incredibly inconsiderate move, that completely ignores the community of users trying to make wikipedia a friendlier place. Instead of discussing it on the talk pages of the award, or going to the Awards and Proposals page, Pepsidrinka just up and nominates it for deletion. Please go to this page and vote to keep the award. If nothing else because the deletion of the award is a smack down of trying to promote wikilove and wikicivility on wikipedia. evrik 21:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for the heads-up about the templates to close the discussion. I realised only now that the message was from you; Until now, I was mistaken that the message was from User:Smurrayinchester.

subst tildes

Hello again, O template master:
If you have a moment, I wonder if you might take a look at Template:Rpn and advise – you'll quickly see the little problem. I just hope I haven't missed the obvious.
Thanks in advance, David Kernow 15:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
PS Have started to see more and more of your fab {{archivebox}} and {{talkarchive}} templates; how about my moving their listing from the very bottom of here to somewhere more prominent...?

~<includeonly>~</includeonly><noinclude>~</noinclude>~~ should work, both to show four tildes when viewed, and expand to the sig when substed. _→AzaToth 16:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Now that is cunning. Thanks – also for making the change at {{rpn}} !  Best wishes, David Kernow 16:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

PS Do you know if a template can be set to "self-subst", i.e. for {{Something}} to behave as if {{subst:Something}} – or I suppose that might be prohibited in order to prevent looping or the like...?  (As you might guess, I've been toying with a {{Srpn}} = {{subst:rpn}} template, but no joy as yet...)
Thanks again, David Kernow 16:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Nope, a template can not be automatically substed. _→AzaToth 17:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

As I suspected. Thanks for the confirmation.  Best wishes, David Kernow 21:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

{{lp}} and {{ltp}}

I did never understand exactly what those forks where for. I changed {{lp}} to be used for portals now (I had forgot that). {{ltp}} I have no clue what's for. _→AzaToth 19:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

{{lp}} was to link to an arbitrary namespace (unlike {{la}}, which works correctly only with articles), avoiding the absurd "Talk:namespace:" pseudo-namespace. {{ltp}} was to link to an arbitrary namespace's talk page (avoiding la's "Talk:namespace talk:" pseudo-namespace and lp's "namespace talk talk:" pseudo-namespace. Both were used on Wikipedia:Most vandalized pages; however, someone with more patience seems to have created one template for each namespace, thus removing the need for both generic versions. --cesarb 02:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Just now I noticed that both generic versions already existed for some time with another name. I've deleted the unneeded fork. --cesarb 02:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Confused

I am looking for an explanation here because I'm genuinely confused. Template:User_Nazi and User:UBX/Communist were both up for deletion. Both were decided "kept" and yet only User Nazi was deleted. Care to explain why that happened? It would seem BOTH would be kept, but for some reason, that didn't happen. For the record, the note on Nazi was "The result of the debate was speedy kept per WP:POINT nomination." The communist note was: "The result of the debate was Keep pending any new userbox policy." (By the way, I'm neither nazi nor communist and only care about fairness.) I also realize someone created both just to "make a point" and both were created on the same day. They both should be deleted or kept. Or am I missing some unwritten Wikipedia policy on "-isms" here? Nhprman ^UserLists 06:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, the result of the debate was speedy kept, but the template had already been deleted by that time because of something else. _→AzaToth 10:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, if you're going to tell me that it's because it was because the creator made the template just to make a point, I have to inform you that the Communist one was made on the same day, and for the same reason (which its author admitted.) If one was deleted, because no one obviously wants to stick up for naziism, and the other was saved, because for some reason hoards of supporters came to the rescue, something is very flawed with this system. Frankly, I think the entire userbox issue needs resolving very soon by Jimbo. Nhprman ^UserLists 14:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

user template coder category and userbox

Thought I'd do some recruiting. Had this funny idea to bunch template coders together with some userboxes that could actually be useful. Checkout the category and if you like add a userbox to your page. Thanks. -- Alfakim --  talk  17:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal:box-header change

Very clever optional parameter, but it makes a funny little apostrophe-type thing appear when it's not used (see Portal:War, for example). —Kirill Lokshin 22:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I did remove it, sorry for the problem :) I'll create an other template for that instead. _→AzaToth 22:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Heh, no problem ;-) I think most portals use the optional parameter in box-footer for the "Read more..." link anyway. —Kirill Lokshin 22:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I can understand that, but it can often be a bit troublesome to change the call to the footer template when editing the content of the box (seldom the same page). Created the "template" Portal:Read more now anyway. _→AzaToth 22:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal Television

Since you made your changes the "Read More" part doesn't show up anymore. I think something is wrong with the coding. Jedi6-(need help?) 22:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Thats strange, it shows up for me _→AzaToth 22:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Forgive my memory, but there are so many wiki acronyms that I don't know them all! - what does this one stand for? I recognise what I was posting was potentially useful to certain individuals - but surely something should be done about it rather than just ignoring it?

Template:Bot

Somehow I don't think anybody is going to willingly use that big ugly box of yours, so I guess I'll make my own template. — Mar. 15, '06 [12:22] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

It's ment for bot accounts, it's not ment as a user-box (somehow I don't think a bot-account have any uses for userboxes). It's a global warning/information message, ment for people to see. _→AzaToth 13:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah? Check this out. — Mar. 15, '06 [19:03] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Ok, :) one exception. What I ment is that mostly bot account user pages is rather underdesigned, and usually a big "warning" is appropriate so that people easly see that it's not a real person behind the account. _→AzaToth 19:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Need suggestion on conditional template page inclusion

Background

I am exploring using code from a fellow named Sy for creating a weblog in mediawiki. In the template users comment on entries with Template_talk. I have contrived to include comments on the blog page with the entries but if there are no comments a link to Template_talk:<<Name of log>> shows.

Question

How can I evaluate to see if a page exists and only include content/show if if there is something to show?

Audrey 17:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

There is a method, that is used in {{exists}}, this is that it tries to evaluate if two strings are equal, one string is a link to the page, and one other is the content of said page, if then the page does not exists, then it will return a "red" link to the page instead. So if the two strings equals, then the page does not exists. _→AzaToth 19:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Booleans

I'm currently trying to turn the lenghty {{Infobox Digimon}} into a shorter thing with conditionals. My workshop is at {{Newinfobox Digimon}}. I'm trying to hide the japanese name parenthesis with {{boolnor}}, but it seems I can't get the Boolean stuff. Since you seem to have some understanding of these, I was wondering if you could help? Circeus 18:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind that. The problem wasmy own misunderstanding of {{boolnor}}. Silly me. Circeus

No tables for template list?

Hmm, I liked it the way it was before. You specified in the summary edit that it should be conforming to whatever is at WP:KISS. (a red link as of 00:25 UTC, 17 March 2006). --Ted 00:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

hmm, I thought there was a page there, the wikipedia article describing the word is at KISS principle _→AzaToth 00:41, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Qif conditionals

I'm working on a guide for how to use {{qif}} in templates, and have a rough draft up at User:Locke Cole/Qif conditionals. I was wondering if you might want to go over it, correct anything I got wrong, or add where you think it might be appropriate. I'm trying to keep the page geared towards newbies, but feel free to add anything you feel would be helpful. Also note there's a list at the bottom for people to signup if they're interested in helping other editors with template design. —Locke Cole • t • c 07:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Boolean definitions

I do not understand why you say that my changes to the definitions at Category:If templates and Category:Boolean templates are wrong.

First, regarding {{boolnxor}}:
I edited the If page twice, however, you reverted only the second edit. Does this mean you agree with my correction to the boolxnor definition? The original definition was:

if A and B is false or A and B is true, return true

This appears to be equivalent to:

$(\neg (A\wedge B))\vee (A\wedge B)$

This is a tautology, and so I can't see how this could be correct. My correction is:

if A or B is false or A and B is true, return true

I edited the Boolean page only once, so on that page, this change was reverted along with the other two.

Second, regarding {{boolnand}}:

Here is a truth table calculated with the boolnand template:

	T	F
T	{{boolnand|A|B}} =	{{boolnand|A| }} = 1
F	{{boolnand| |B}} = 1	{{boolnand| | }} = 1

Here is a truth table calculated using the definition I gave (if A and B is false, return true):

	T	F
T	{{boolnot|{{booland|A|B}}}} =	{{boolnot|{{booland|A| }}}} = 1
F	{{boolnot|{{booland| |B}}}} = 1	{{boolnot|{{booland| | }}}} = 1

Here is a truth table calculated using the current definition (if A or B is false, return true):

	T	F
T	{{boolnot|{{boolor|A|B}}}} =	{{boolnot|{{boolor|A| }}}} =
F	{{boolnot|{{boolor| |B}}}} =	{{boolnot|{{boolor| | }}}} = 1

The table derived from the definition I proposed matches the action of boolnand.

The case of boolnor is the mirror of boolnand.

It is possible that I have misread something somewhere, but I currently can see no reason why the changes I made are incorrect. Do you still disagree?
--plover ^talk 14:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The description was ment to describe to those not engulfed in boolean logic, perhaps they should be more elaborated, for example nxor could be If both A and B are false, or both A and B is true, then return true, otherwise return false. as NXOR is:

${\begin{matrix}A{\underline {\oplus }}B&=&\lnot (A\oplus B)\\&=&(\lnot A)\oplus B\\&=&((\lnot A)\land \lnot B)\lor (\lnot (\lnot A)\land B)\\&=&(\lnot A\land \lnot B)\lor (A\land B)\\&=&\lnot (A\lor B)\lor (A\land B)\end{matrix}}$ We somehove both have somewhat right :) But the description wasn't ment to be a definition in logic, but an explaination of the truth-table. _→AzaToth 15:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I can now see what you were trying to say in your definitions, and I can agree with the goal of choosing a phrasing geared toward those unused to formal logic. However, the phrasing and typography should also be chosen so that those that are used to formal logic don't find them ambiguous (as I did).

Here are my suggestions for definitions which I think match your intention without being ambiguous:

{{booland}}

If both A and B are true, return true.

{{boolor}}

If A or B (or both) is true, return true.

{{boolxor}}

If one of A or B is true (but not both), return true.

{{boolnxor}}

If A and B are either both true or both false, return true.

{{boolnand}}

If A or B (or both) is false, return true.

{{boolnor}}

If both A and B are false, return true.

{{boolnot}}

If A is false, return true, else return false.

Tawkerbot2

Tawkerbot2 was in the right namespace for that edit, it just caught the wrong user. Normally the bot will grab the last editor properly but theres a weird bug in the code that its grabbing the wrong editor and blaming them (it's hapening fairly rarely I'm manually looking at the non IP edits the bot reverts and I'm looking at the code, I don't know if this is a WP returning bogus data or the bot itself, in any case with squidward around its best not to block the bot outright, I'm just turning autorevert on and off when necessary -- Tawker 20:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. _→AzaToth 00:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear AzaToth, I don't know how you can accuse me of vandalism to a page where I reverted vandalism and you then summarily put it back. Are you using some kind of bot for this? Did you even read my edit summary? Since you reverted me, Tintin1107 has again put the page back to the same version that I did, the last unvandalized version by Jmabel. Please be careful with your unfounded accusations and thoughtless reversions. Slowmover 16:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps there might be some wrong, but I did remove ''Italic text'' from your edit, see [1]. I'm sorry if that was unintentioned from your side. _→AzaToth 18:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I meant to fix the italics at the same time but I think I screwed it up somehow. No harm done. Slowmover 19:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

These things do happen :) _→AzaToth 19:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

re: my bot

Sorry about that. I'll try to tweak it to ignore those pages. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 01:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand, perhpas you should not run until you fixed that? _→AzaToth 01:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you look at...

I'd like your opinion on the template {{pagelist}} that I just created. Both in terms of whether this could have been implemented more simply, and whether this is a legitimate use of templates. I created it to support another new template I created: {{mergefrom-multiple}}, but I created it to (hopefully) be useful in other contexts.

Thanks, —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 07:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems correct to me. If it's legitime isn't me to tell you :), but I would say yes, it's not a widely used template, and it can happen that multiple templates are to be merged. _→AzaToth 13:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

thanks for reverting those comments to my bot's userpage. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 22:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

I have added an additional question in your RfA. If you have time, I would appreciate an answer. Thanks. JoshuaZ 22:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Read more

What's Portal:Read more for? I almost speedied it as nonsense, but thought I'd check with you once I saw you created it. Hiding talk 22:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

It was ment as a template for use in Portal:Box-header, it did work, but there was no consensus tu use it, you may delete it if you want. _→AzaToth 22:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you want it in your user space? Hiding talk 22:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Could be ok. _→AzaToth 23:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Your vote on my RFA

I am honestly surprised you supported my RFA after I decided to oppose yours and everyone (ok, not everyone, but a lot) following and saying "per Moe". I humbly say thank you and wish you better luck in your future nomination(s). Moe ε 00:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not in for such thing as "give back". I think you could be a good admin. _→AzaToth 01:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I appriciate that comment. :-) Moe ε 01:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
