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? :)

Blank.png - 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.png 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.png 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! Admin.png 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.png Waahlis 22:51, 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.png 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. Admin.png 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.png 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. Admin.png 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.png Waahlis 23:19, 11 November 2012 (CET)
