Well of course they are avaible to everyone :-) I already made Assembly, buy I'll certainly do the other templates needed, I only have to change the name of the subcategory... Üc R. Tärfâ (talk) 01:29, 6 July 2012 (CDT)

What is the conversion rate for Template:Lb? (Or between USD and Bent and Louis) Dient (talk) 19:37, 8 July 2012 (CDT)

$1.50 is one louis, or 60 bence.--AD (talk) 19:40, 8 July 2012 (CDT)

I figured out the problem! It is hard to discuss here; do you have GoogleTalk or anything? (message me back on my talk page) Dient (talk) 13:57, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

Just figured out the solution as well! :D I'll be updating the Template:Lb shortly.Dient (talk) 14:15, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

:)--AD (talk) 15:32, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

Updated Template:Lb! :D Use it as {{Lb|AmountinUSDHere}}--$20 = 13¤20. Dient (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

Great! Thanks! That makes sense - I was making it needlessly complicated by having it be two variables.--AD (talk) 21:13, 9 July 2012 (CDT)

Check Cosa - I've dummy ran that navbar and made it linkable to the pages we have up so far. edit- keep forgetting the 4 squiggles Eðo_Grischun (talk) 07:32, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

Updated your template. It was a good idea, it just would have been squashed on the side, is all.--AD (talk) 07:33, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

Go ahead and lay it on me! (The other challenge I mean.) Dient (talk) 08:45, 10 July 2012 (CDT)

There's probably some easy solution I never knew, but I would like if the name templates auto-substed in, i.e. if using Fiovă actually replaced the template with the word, but without people having to learn and use subst with it.--AD (talk) 16:01, 10 July 2012 (CDT)

This looks somewhat promising. I'll continue to dig around, but it seems as though you could create a string function that replaces Fiova with Fiovă (and all the other Talossan names with diacritics) automatically whenever the edit is saved. It may have to be exported to each page, however. Dient (talk) 13:38, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

Hm, which of these functions did you want to use? #replace would run into the same order of operations problem I already encountered - if you try to define {{fio}} as {{subst:fio2}}, where {{fio2}}'s contents are Fiovă, then the wiki refuses to begin what could be an endless series of hops, and will only render {{subst:fio}} on the page.--AD (talk) 18:05, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

This is what I was thinking of: {{#replace:Fiova|o|ô|a|â}} Dient (talk) 18:54, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

I see what you're doing, but we'd have to call that function and all other name functions on every page, wouldn't we?

I think it's wiser for me to do what I'd been avoiding: build a Namebot to automatically go through and make the substitutions.--AD (talk) 19:27, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

Well if you need any help creating the Namebot, I'd be glad to offer my services. :) Dient (talk) 19:37, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

I may end up taking you up on that - I've never run a bot before!

If you're looking for a new complicated challenge, you can tackle citizenspace and figure out a main portal design for ArTal.--AD (talk) 19:53, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

I'll see what I can do! (As for the bot, I haven't ever run one either, but it seems like an interesting challenge) Dient (talk) 12:28, 13 July 2012 (CDT)

And on a completely unrelated note, can you install this extension? Dient (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

Yes, I will arrange it.--AD (talk) 18:05, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

Thank you! :D And if you get a chance, check out my half-serious, half-facetious Royal Governor's Office page. I think you may enjoy it. Dient (talk) 18:54, 12 July 2012 (CDT)

I added a cool little "Citizen of the Week" section to ArTal yesterday; once the inputbox extension is installed, a search feature could be added just for citizens. I also foresee some kind of community calendar or something. As for the bot, it looks pretty simple to set up; I can write up the Python script for it and everything. Unfortunately, I probably couldn't run it on this computer--it is too slow, and my regular computer is broken at the moment. If you wanted me to, however, I could prepare the script and you could run it from your computer. Dient (talk) 16:21, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

I'd have to run it from a university computer, I think - I just have a little netbook. If you get it done before me, just send it to me :) --AD (talk) 16:51, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

Sorry to barge in on this conersation... "community calandar"... this could be pretty handy and cool. It could flash up birthdays, etc. Eðo_Grischun (talk) 18:04, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

I think so too. There are a few pretty cool calendar extensions for MediaWikis; I'm not exactly sure which one would be the best for this purpose. The calendar could also be used for like Talossan meetups, or perhaps an online chess tournament--the possibilities are endless, and the calendar needs to be available for anyone to add to it. Dient (talk) 18:12, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

The MinStuff usually adds extensions, since he has direct server access and I'm only thunking in over shitty ftp sites. Tell me which one you think would be best and I'll arrange it.--AD (talk) 18:37, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

This one would probably work the best for the current "ArTal" purpose. Dient (talk) 18:50, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

Thank You! :D

You're the best! :D (If you want to check out the extensions while I'm working on them, navigate to my sandbox.) Dient (talk) 19:30, 27 July 2012 (CDT)

Created a calendar page, and added a "Viewbox" to the ArTal page. Need your help on inputing the CSS style on the Viewbox. See here for how to add the parameter. Also added a search citizens infobox. Dient (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2012 (CDT)

Replied on my talk page. Dient (talk) 09:11, 23 August 2012 (CDT)

Bot

Now that I've spent an extended time away from the Wiki, I'm ready to get to work on the bot. In what seems a futile effort to prevent procrastination, I'm giving myself a week to get the script done and working. Dient (talk) 16:38, 9 October 2012 (MDT)

I've been away for quite awhile haha. Obviously the bot has been built and works, you know this already, but how often should it be ran? Dient (talk) 22:35, 14 November 2012 (CST)

Very seldom, I think - once every three or four months, maybe.--AD (talk) 06:00, 15 November 2012 (CST)

Will do. On another note, can you check out Citizen:Dien Tresplet? There is a problem with Template:Cit, and its most obvious on my citizen page. (I tried fixing it and failed.) Dient (talk) 01:49, 28 November 2012 (MSK)

What is the problem? Looking there, I don't see anything immediately apparent.--AD (talk) 04:23, 9 December 2012 (MSK)
