Hoppas jag inte tränger mig på....

Hi Billy! :D I said I was going to stop by, and I do always keep my promises! :D Waahlis (talk) 18:09, 4 November 2012 (CET)

Oh dear, that's quick work! I will ask my fellow administrators how they feel about a move, and I'll let them contact you instead on this wiki.

By the way, I had a certain designer role at the old wiki, and we had a special theme - so would you mind telling met you'd think of these pictures and buttons? :)

- Used for headers of certain categories, Linguifex-pages and conlangs. Administrator and policy buttons. I fill buttons like this one with a motif that suits its purpose.

File:Whiteline.png - you can't see this one, because it's white. It is a background for page headers, which are at the top of the page with notices, titles or messages.

Finally, I've made a small draught for a new logo! Unless you want the current one! - File:Linguifex 1.0.png

Cheers, and let's get this one rolling! :D Waahlis (talk) 21:53, 8 November 2012 (CET)

Hello!

Just wondering, where did you set this up and get the domain name from? :) Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán (talk) 12:42, 10 November 2012 (CET)

I was already paying a webhosting fee for pretty much what amounted to my e-mail accounts and a small underdeveloped page with a few lines in Dhannua. So I had a lot of space and I thought, with wikkii down and wikia-awful ads/weird layout I figured I'd rather start something on my own, whose integrity and up-keep I myself could control. :P Then I spent some time considering names with -wiki until I figured linguifex was nicer (in my ears). I don't think it's a real latin word, but I modeled it on ars, artis + -fex (creator/agentative thing-y, -artisan) to get linguifex (artisan of languages/tongues) :P - Chrysophylax (talky talk) 17:34, 10 November 2012 (CET)

Sounds like a good plan :) You're making me want to have my own wiki to play around with stuff and stop me from littering other wikis with half-arsed attempts at projects. Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 18:59, 10 November 2012 (CET)

Today

Hi Billy!

A small update.

• MOB has created an account.
• I've imported the Template:Documentation and an array of cascading templates.
• The Template:Header has been imported.
• I've uploaded a lot of pictures, spheres, which I'd appreciate if you took a look at.
• In addition, or rather mostly, I've been working on a very preliminary draught of a section for the Main page.

Sincerely, Waahlis (talk) 17:39, 10 November 2012 (CET)

Also, what's ye favourite colours? :D Name three, from the best to worst! --Waahlis (talk) 19:28, 10 November 2012 (CET)

Infobox. Or something.

I haven't got a clue what you're getting at with that one... :/ Waahlis 22:39, 11 November 2012 (CET)

You'll see… In due time. Well, I'm trying to get at an en.wiki language infobox that can handle several language families, nested :P - Chrysophylax (talky talk) 22:40, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Good with code are you? Excellent, I just survive due to my organisation obsessions. THAT's why this is bothering me! :P I'll have to rename the pages later on... Could you create a list on your user page which ones go together 'till then? :) Waahlis 22:44, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Not at all. I understand it, somewhat but writing my own wizardry, no. Just importing from En.Wiki but d'accord. Sure, will do! Chrysophylax 22:47, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Hehe, me too! :p I think that would make it all easier. Don't forget to fill in the documentation, or chances are that I'll never understand mallarna! :P Waahlis 22:51, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Calm down a second on the import. What are you trying to do? It'd help a lot if I knew? Also, some things don't seem to function properoly. -- Waahlis 23:33, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Yeah, there are a lot of mini-templates that are used in larger templates that are used in other templates. All to get the wiki-style infobox to work. I'm following the list on ETCWiki which contains guides to setting up things properly and yeah. Unfortunately, the guide recommends you start with the more complex templates first XD and then the ones that get the rest to work. Sigh.

Chrysophylax 23:35, 11 November 2012 (CET)

So I understand. You don't think you should call it a day? I'm happy to do this tomorrow, since I have time then. It is fairly late, after all. Waahlis 23:39, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Is the template import somehow undesirable? :p am I doing it wrong? I don't actually mind doing it right now, since today I had the fortune of sleeping in (thus well-rested). Btw, ta en titt på Dhannuá infobox example. Chrysophylax 23:45, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Yeah, don't do that again... :P

I've actually never seen the MediaWiki break! :D Can't say I liked it, but shit happens. :P ¿Qué hiciste? Waahlis 23:09, 11 November 2012 (CET)

You hadn't? Glad to have enrichened your life with a new experience! I installed a new extension, set it up properly, added the required lines to the master config and theen I missed a teensy letter. I didn't see it until MediaWiki told me. Apologies. Chrysophylax 23:11, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Why thank you, I'm ever so glad! A truly enchanting event! Yes, I saw that MediaWiki didn't accept the "syntaxhighlight". I've got my nose everywhere I'm not supposed to! :3 Also, I'm glad you added the w: to interwiki, I was going mad because of that... On the old wiki we could edit the interwiki ourselves, so you shouln't have had to. Waahlis 23:16, 11 November 2012 (CET)

I'll install the Interwiki extension then, that permits admins to add new interwiki defines to the table without using MySQL. Chrysophylax 23:17, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Oh, no need! I survive just fine without it! However... Would you mind authorising the extension permitting personal .css? :3 Waahlis 23:19, 11 November 2012 (CET)

$wgAllowUserCss = true; Chrysophylax 23:28, 11 November 2012 (CET)

Eeexcellent! :D -- Waahlis 23:29, 11 November 2012 (CET)

WorldWideWeb Domination Plot

I suggest Waahlis get to do the front page, he is kick ass at it.

And MOB, he'll be the face of this operation :P

And I of course will help with Tempaltes and such

whats your speciality? =D EmperorZelos (talk) 17:20, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Also, do you have string functions, mathematical functions and such on this wiki yet? They will be required EmperorZelos (talk) 17:30, 12 November 2012 (CET)

I am the spider in the net.

Not sure, I'm quite calm, moderate, computer-knowing, language loving and a C# programmer.

I can coordinate things if need be, but mostly, I'll go around helping users and making people feel comfortable. I'm like a Swiss army knife.

We have a few string functions as far as I know. templates list Chrysophylax 17:34, 12 November 2012 (CET)

That is not what I meant, I meant the wiki string functions like vardefine, var, if etc EmperorZelos (talk) 17:43, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Wiki import

Would it be feasable for you to figure out how to import the "add word" function in translatiosn on wiktionary? EmperorZelos (talk) 18:22, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Hi again! I've tried out File:Linguifex.png as a internal logo, to use in banners and in spheres. Potentially also as a favicon. Votre opinion, s'il vous plait! Waahlis 21:16, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Currently a bit occupied Zelos, but I'll try. Also, nice work Waahlis! Chrysophylax 21:34, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Thank you! I'll give it a bit more work though. Probably make it a bit more gray. -- Waahlis 21:38, 12 November 2012 (CET)

HEY!...take it cool man, none of us are in a hurry, if you try your best and get it done when it is feasable that is good enough for all of us! :D  Emperor Zelos 21:44, 12 November 2012 (CET)

Can these be included aswell?  Emperor Zelos 08:24, 13 November 2012 (CET)

Whou, take it easy on him. You should only suggest those that are absolutely necessary. He's got bandwidth to think about. Waahlis 08:31, 13 November 2012 (CET)

Poll, Random, Flash, Progress, EditConflict and automated greeting are those I would say is most important then.  Emperor Zelos 08:35, 13 November 2012 (CET)

If you want you can check those out and make a judgement on whats absolutely neccisery, stringloop would be good for templates though. But these would mostly be one time thing so it doesn't effect bandwidth does it?  Emperor Zelos 08:37, 13 November 2012 (CET)

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math

This would be useful too  Emperor Zelos 17:21, 13 November 2012 (CET)

Hello

I've never met you, have I. I'm conlang, CL for short. My ways of conlanging are strange; I've still got quite a lot to learn. I might do a little coding with you sometime or another. I just stopped by for whatever reason. :P
CL^{/ˈtɔk ˈpeɪdʒ/} 21:26, 14 November 2012 (CET)

Hi! No, I do not think we have met properly. I'm Chrysophylax (Gold-guard). I too have still got a lot to learn :) ; it'd be nice to get some more coding aid, I'm not particularly good at it. :P Thanks for visiting! Chrysophylax 18:09, 15 November 2012 (CET)

Announcements

I thought maybe we needed a non-forum analogue, and the "current event" title simply wasn't very appealing? I rollbacked your edit. Waahlis 10:49, 18 November 2012 (CET)

Ah, makes sense. Cool, cool, cool. Chrysophylax 21:02, 18 November 2012 (CET)

Welcome

Could you install the automated welcome message on this wiki so we don't have to?  Emperor Zelos 16:11, 27 November 2012 (CET)

Sorry for delaying so! I've been most busy these last two weeks. :\ Anyhow, Automatic Board Welcome seems to depend on SocialProfile which currently does not work with our MediaWiki version. We would have to downgrade the whole wiki to get SocialProfile (and by extension Automatic Board welcome) to work in the current state of matters. Unfortunately, until https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29984 is fixed, I'm not sure there's much that I can do regarding this feature. =\ Chrysophylax 23:16, 28 November 2012 (CET)

hmmm alright, I am certain we can fix this, I will look into it =))  Emperor Zelos 06:18, 29 November 2012 (CET)

Façade

Hello my dear sir, I've spent the evening constructing a component for the new main page - the Façade. Your opinions, if you will! Waahlis 21:46, 1 December 2012 (CET)

It looks quite awesome, I like the items. For some reason my admin button changes colour from blue to orange-y. ??. Also, it seems a bit heavy on content on the sides while I'd prefer some more centred content myself. But yeah, forum/languages, etc. Those look great! Chrysophylax 03:26, 2 December 2012 (CET)

I am purple, He is Orange, You are blue, MOB is red. Thats why the admin changes  Emperor Zelos 06:54, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Ohhh, it cycles! I see it now. facepalm. Chrysophylax 07:04, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Centred content normally isn't as modern... In my opinion the assymetry draws attention! :p I am not sure you'd prefer centred content, but I'll make a new one when I've completed the rest of the components! :D And yes, that's why the admins change! Waahlis 12:55, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Oh no, not fully centred! I mispoke, dear Waahlis. What I meant is that the current layout seems a tad empty in the centre area and considering that personally, my eyes kind of land there, it feels a bit like wasted screen estate. I'm also a bit curious regarding the big buttons we have. They do not seem to align properly on my screen at least and it's kind of bothering me, to be honest. Two in line and one… off.

But hey, liking the general idea. I tried installing a youtube extension earlier today while activity = low but it seemed to have broken the Wiki. I'll keep hunting for some other plugin that'd work. As I'm not sure how much space sound files would occupy on the webhost and the perf. delays this might incur I am currently more inclined to add a YoutuBe linking option than full sound file upload (God forbid someone should upload wav files… xD). Me, out! Chrysophylax 13:22, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Excellent. I shall improve the design further, of course. What's with wav files then? :P Waahlis 13:28, 2 December 2012 (CET)

They're uncompressed sound files,i.e. raw sound data. Lots of space eating. Keeping them on file might itself not be too bad (since I have a lot of hard drive space for Linguifex) but once you factor in the uploading/downloading it might quickly eat up the bandwidth I have. :\ Not sure how much people are used to ogg vorbis/MP3 compressing and since most recorders record in .WAV, it could quickly turn not nice, I suspect… I'll look into it though… Chrysophylax 13:35, 2 December 2012 (CET)

I will upload a new proposal for the pics design in a minute. Waahlis 14:53, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Eight

I present to you.... Theme 8! Pending proposal for modernised wiki-interaction! :D Waahlis 14:59, 2 December 2012 (CET)

How it'd look on other pages. Waahlis 15:15, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Haha, that looks awesome XD Chrysophylax 16:00, 2 December 2012 (CET)

Do you like it? Or are you messing with me? XD By the way, on the matter of the pictures being displaced, I've checked on three browsers and I can't find anything. Is it that you're using your phone? :p Waahlis 16:09, 2 December 2012 (CET)

No joke, I liked it. It looks very "neat" and "clean". And no, I also checked from the PC. It used to look like this -> File:Old page view.png Chrysophylax 21:08, 3 December 2012 (CET)

Thank you! Any criticism is welcome on the talk page, so I can improve it! Oh, I never noticed. Glad 'tis fixed! :D Waahlis 21:25, 3 December 2012 (CET)

Dagens

Hallå! Vad fipplas det med idag då? Du missade ju X-factor helt och hållet... :P Waahlis 22:14, 7 December 2012 (CET)

Hahaha, skrivit om ett gammalt conlang, filat lite på dhannuá och ursprachet för den familjen. Chrysophylax 23:21, 7 December 2012 (CET)

Ah, roligt! Jag rekommenderar starkt att du gör så att endast inloggade kan redigera forumet. Jag fick ta bort 7 trådar... :/ Dessutom kanske det vore att rekommendera att vi installerade ytterligare ett anti-vandalism tillägg. Det blir lite irriterande att hålla reda på vandalerna när man är ensam... Waahlis 12:12, 8 December 2012 (CET)
