Hello.


==Fields left out==
I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.
How do you make it on templates so that fields can be left out and it doesnt show errors? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 03:30, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
: In the wiki code I did: <tt>class="hiddenStructure<nowiki>{{{</nowiki>posting'''|'''<nowiki>}}}</nowiki>"</tt>. If posting is never passed, it never shows up because the class hiddenStructure hides the field. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 03:33, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
::Might be worth creating a project to implement this into all the templates? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 03:39, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
:::Done most of the "Data" blocks, but as you know some fields are mandatory so it's just a matter of finding those and singling them out.

==Pip images==
The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.  
Looks cool and stuff but the silver one appears to have lost its "shine" a little and looks a bit dull grey --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 06:09, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
:Aye. I'll work on it. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 10:00, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


==Project Status Colors==
I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.
Very cool! That's a new one for me. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:32, 12 June 2006 (CDT)


== Rollback Note ==
Thank you.


Shane, I rolled back your last edit on [[Computers]] as we normally add quotes to successive episode names in parentheses as convention. Quotes aren't added to a single episode name within parentheses, however. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:19, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

As per the [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane|request for comment]], your seven day leave from the wiki will begin 30 June 2006 at 12:01 A.M. UTC. While your account is not blocked from editing at this time, should there be ''any'' edit from your account during the seven days, you will be '''immediately blocked from editing for seven days'''. Obviously, as noted in the RFC, this is not something I wish to do, but will be done should the voluntary vacation be insufficient. We will see you Friday, July 7, 2006.

I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.

The Matrix Wiki Skin

Hi, I've recently joined Wikia and started adding to the Matrix wiki, where I noticed that you'd posted to the main talk page about a new style design.

The skin at the moment is terrible, but as I've only ever really had experience altering the content of articles in wikis I have no starting point to alter it (the internal help is pretty limited at the moment too). I'm familiar with CSS and web design etc. so if you point me in the right direction I should be able to improve it, but if you're still willing to help with the style that would be more awesome still.

I'm not thinking anything too fancy, just a plain black background, green text and so on, but with an animated gif of the falling matrix code on either side of the page to really make a good impression.
