Umm...

What's this? Penro 20:26, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

Well, it's so that I can move my user talk page to archive it then simply update that number and all the archives will link to the correct number of archives... --Porplemontage (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

I see. Thank you! Penro

Bad title

I dont know how to explain it, but here is an example that i saw http://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=NBK&curid=21493&diff=421850&oldid=417596 (Its by the sidebar) Poultry(talk) the Team Liquid 10:47, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

I'm no expert like Porple, but it seems to be due to the fact that the article was deleted, which also deleted all of its revisions. Disaster Flare

(talk) 11:05, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

Yes. The page and revisions are deleted, so you can't view them that way or do a diff. Administrators can access them, but it's a different process. --Porplemontage (talk) 13:30, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

IRC

Do you ever use it? Just curious. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 17:01, 22 April 2016 (EDT)

Nope! --Porplemontage (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2016 (EDT)

CAPTCHA

Any chance you could update it to Smash 4 instead of Brawl? Penro (Talk) 21:15, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Sure thing. --Porplemontage (talk) 21:23, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

So MediaWiki sorta broke the code tag

as in here. Any quick fix for this or are we going to have to come up with something? Serpent King 15:02, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

Also yeah, probably going to happen wherever there is a double-lined code block. Serpent King 15:08, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

Good catch! --Porplemontage (talk) 15:38, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

Right change request

As per Forum:Page creation rights, can you please change the "createpage" right to group "Users"? thanks! Serpent King 20:24, 23 July 2016 (EDT)

You got it! --Porplemontage (talk) 23:13, 23 July 2016 (EDT)

Thanks! Serpent King 00:33, 24 July 2016 (EDT)

Name Change

I wanted to be named to Megalodon966, but Toomai hasn't renamed me yet, I have been waiting for nearly a week. Is there any chance you can do it? Thanks! TabuuandMasterCore 22:08, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

I have vetoed that name change request. The reason will become clear shortly. Toomai Glittershine

Problem

http://www.ssbwiki.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Poultry/Berlin_Calling so i was trying to make a draft for a page and i went into the what links here option and when trying to look something up the search results would only turn up in the bottom left corner, I only tried it on Vector Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 15:25, 6 August 2016 (EDT)

Can you post a screenshot? --Porplemontage (talk) 15:32, 6 August 2016 (EDT)

(talk) the God-Slayer 16:18, 6 August 2016 (EDT)

Thanks for that. I haven't been able to recreate the issue. Can you check if it happens in Monobook? What about when you're logged out (this link will let you use Vector logged-out)? Is it still an issue after clearing your cache? --Porplemontage (talk) 17:30, 6 August 2016 (EDT)

It works in Monobook, only on pages that are not created, and only if you press the what links here button from the page creation screen

What's going on?

Why does the wiki have the same format as Wikipedia, resulting in the layout being so messed up that my userpage history takes me directly to my userpage, my CSS is completely useless, and I can't undo edits without rollback? Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 22:27, 9 August 2016 (EDT) Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 22:27, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

Nothing's going on. Did your computer mess up loading the CSS? --Porplemontage (talk) 22:37, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

Are you on the mobile site by chance? Try clicking this --Porplemontage (talk) 22:40, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

The latter worked, thanks. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 06:18, 10 August 2016 (EDT)

ArticleIcons CSS edit request

I'm working on a rewrite of Template:ArticleIcons as a list instead of a table, at User:Rigel Kent/ArticleIcons draft. Since it's transcluded on so many pages, some skin-specific CSS should save some bandwidth, while improving display in Vector and Minerva. Would this be okay?

Mediawiki:Monobook.css

#ArticleIcons {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 100;
    right: .6em;
    top: -2.4em;
}
#ArticleIcons ul {
    margin: 0;
}
#ArticleIcons li {
    display: inline;
    margin: 0 1px 0 0;
}

Mediawiki:Vector.css

#ArticleIcons {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 100;
    right: .6em;
    top: -2.8em;
}
#ArticleIcons ul {
    margin: 0;
}
#ArticleIcons li {
    display: inline;
    margin: 0 1px 0 0;
}

Mediawiki:Mobile.css

#ArticleIcons {
    position: absolute;
    right: .6em;
    top: .9em;
}
#ArticleIcons li {
    display: inline;
    margin: 0 1px 0 0;
}
.overlay-enabled #ArticleIcons {
    display: none;
}

Sure, the CSS pages can be used. Has this been approved by the administrators? --Porplemontage (talk) 20:26, 16 August 2016 (EDT)

I left a message at Template talk:ArticleIcons#List instead of table for performance. I got some feedback about simplicity, but no mention of technical problems. One catch, though: if I make the template edit without the CSS edits, the display will look very strange. Even if I put in temporary inline styles, that'll only work for one skin. It might be better if you copy User:Rigel Kent/ArticleIcons draft to Template:ArticleIcons at the same time as the skin-specific CSS edits. ライケン Rigel Kent (talk) 00:14, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

No approval given. Still do not see the need for the change. Serpent King 00:56, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

Some pages load slowly

These ones, in particular. Why does it happen? Is it because of a glitch in the codes? -- BeepYou (talk) 18:54, 24 November 2016 (EST)

It might be that GIF thumbnails were being generated, which takes some time on the first load. --Porplemontage (talk) 22:35, 24 November 2016 (EST)

So I'm stuck, maybe you can help

So as you see here, for some reason the nav template is pushing down the first item in the list. I have run through the HTML/CSS in Firefox's developer kit and found that there is literally no reason why this should be happening. Can you think of anything? thanks! Serpent King 23:21, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Yeah that's a strange deal, found a workaround for it though! --Porplemontage (talk) 14:37, 22 December 2016 (EST)

Sweet, thanks! Serpent King 18:13, 22 December 2016 (EST)

So we have had multiple login issues

...everyone who has had them yet has reported that they use Google Chrome. I have heard that Google has been neglecting sites that use the old http protocol. How difficult is it to switch to https? Thanks Serpent King 20:38, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Is that why people have been having issues? I will look into switching to https. For now, clearing your cookies seems to work as a temp fix. Thanks for the info! --Porplemontage (talk) 20:49, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Let it be known that while I am one of the victims, it only appears to happen on the laptop provided to me by my school; every other computer I've gone on logs me in fine. Any thoughts on the matter?

Aidan, the Lovely Dragon Warrior

23:42, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Well, I've switched the site to HTTPS. So clear the cookies on your school laptop and give it another go! --Porplemontage (talk) 23:46, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Thanks for that! Serpent King 00:16, 10 February 2017 (EST)

No problem! --Porplemontage (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2017 (EST)

How good is your memory?

Could you please restrict editing to autoconfirmed for April Fools? I can remind you the day before if you'd like. Thanks! Serpent King 21:59, 24 March 2017 (EDT)

You got it! --Porplemontage (talk) 23:50, 24 March 2017 (EDT)

This is your reminder :P Serpent King 02:42, 31 March 2017 (EDT)

While your at it, and sorry for bugging you twice

The loading animation on the recent changes has not worked since the mediawiki update. Not really a big deal but if it could be easily fixed, that would be nice. Thanks! Serpent King 03:14, 25 March 2017 (EDT)

Sure thing! --Porplemontage (talk) 03:39, 25 March 2017 (EDT)

April

We're going to want edits restricted to autoconfirmed for April Fools' Day, plus a few hours on either side. Maybe start it at 7pm or 8pm EDT today, and end after ~32 hours. Toomai Glittershine The Victorious 06:39, 31 March 2017 (EDT)

Serpent King already reminded him to do that.

Aidan, the Irish Dragon Warrior

10:25, 31 March 2017 (EDT)

Done. --Porplemontage (talk) 19:14, 31 March 2017 (EDT)

Server costs

Hi there, Omega Tyrant told me you're the one who handles the hosting of SmashWiki. Can you tell me how much it is per month? I need a point of reference for a wiki I'm looking to self-host. RoyboyX Talk 02:39, 14 July 2017 (EDT)

It depends on what you want. I assume you would want to rent a host server rather than purchase one, and that can cost anywhere from $10 to $200/mo depending on what you need, here's a decent point of reference. The domain is separate from that, and here is the information on that. Apart from that, MediaWiki is free, so there should be no additional costs. Serpent King 03:06, 14 July 2017 (EDT)
