I'm giving you admin, since you're working with templates and whatsits. ParserFunctions is already installed; let me know if you need any other sysadmin functionality.--AD (talk) 19:25, 8 July 2012 (CDT)
Oh, once request: since you say you're very good at wikistuff, and I am only a novice, would you mind troubleshooting my conversion template at Template:Lb? As the talk page shows, some things convert correctly and some do not. Can't figure out why.--AD (talk) 19:27, 8 July 2012 (CDT)
Let me know when you're ready for another challenge.--AD (talk) 02:56, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
I'e sent you a chat on your past Clarks page.Eðo_Grischun (talk) 10:30, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
- and replied :)
Hi. sent you a message on the cosa pages, but doing it here so you get the popup. Im not sure about putting the clark results on the cosa pages. they are two different things. bear in mind that the word clark has two differing meanings, one is the legislative session and one is the legislative journal. the thing your adding into the cosa pages is the journal and probably should have its own place. its mixing up senate votes into a place they dont belong. The Cosa pages are a subset of ziu and clark pages should be a subset of chancery.. should try and get it into clark somehow instead. We can link from the cosa pages to the clark pages with a "see also" section.Eðo_Grischun (talk) 14:55, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- Haha I'm an idiot xD I completely forgot that the Clark comprises both the Cosa and the Senats. I mean, I knew it did obviously, but I got the Cosa confused with the full Ziu. I'm editing as we speak. Dient (talk) 14:57, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- lol, cool. I love the way the collapse section is working out. It's the right idea just the wrong place. I'm going to keep working on general elections and cosa pages till I get them as far back as we have data for. Give me a shout if you need any help filling all those voting tables out. Eðo_Grischun (talk) 15:02, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- I'm not sure if we should put all the past clarks on the Clark page. It seems like the Clark page should be more of a definition of what a Clark is, with a link to a page of past results. As for linking the Cosas with their respective Clarks via a "see also" type thing, I can hash out a quick template if we need to. Finally, yes I would LOVE some help with the vote tables haha :) I spent half the day trying to figure out why they wouldn't work in the template, and now that I've figured it out, I'm tired of messing with them right now. (The problem was the "|" character won't work inside the template I made, so whenever you need to put a "|" in your table, you have to instead put in {{!}}) Let me know what you think about making a page just for the "Past Clarks" as well. Dient (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- yes another page would be fine, in fact, ideal. I was just saying clark as an example rather than cosa. we can work out link and nav between all once everything is in the right places. I was having the exact same problem earlier! I could not get the table to work proper and was scratching my head. I did find a workaround by using a plain html table but it quickly got messy. im glad you found a better way. for now, do you fancy using some kind of place holder wherever you want me to add the tables to? Eðo_Grischun (talk) 15:31, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- A nice place holder for the tables would be perfect :D And if you haven't already (I haven't checked any logs) I could go ahead and make a page for Past Clarks. Should the name of the page be Past Clarks or Past Clark Results? Dient (talk) 15:53, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- no, not created that yet. I did do one for November 2011 Clark which I will get deleted once it's on your fancy thang. hm, not sure on name. Might as well go with past clark results? Eðo_Grischun (talk) 16:00, 11 July 2012 (CDT)

Started the Past Clark Results page, added the First and Second Clark for the 43rd Cosa. (Vote tables just in the first one, obviously.) There is not a subsection in my template for Failed Bills; should I create one? (The only way to see failed bills now is by looking at the Final Results.) The Chancery template needs to be added to the page. Also, if you wanted to add all of the templates I created for this project: Template:CPASSED, Template:CFAILED, Template:DOL, and Template:ClarkNav to the Chancery Template Category page, that would be good. (I didn't want to try--I'm not all that great with tables.) It looks as though you could go ahead and delete the November Clark page, but I would save the layout (export it to like User:Eovartgrischun/N2011C) just in case we need to look back on anything for any reason. Finally, did you get admin status? I told Hool to bump you up. Dient (talk) 16:24, 11 July 2012 (CDT)
- Hool has gone away for a few days to his high school reunion so I probably won't get bumped up to admin till he returns. It all looks super cool so far. I will catch up soon, I've ended up following a rabbit hole with the general elections, so I want to get all that done and off my to do list first. Not a problem with the tables, I seem to have the hang of them, I'll work out what needs to go where and message you before starting on all this again. Eðo_Grischun (talk) 15:41, 12 July 2012 (CDT)
