PvXwiki:Wikia noticeboard/Resolved Coding Issues

Raw Signature

New raw sigs seem to not be working atm. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 03:02, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Works for me, can you give an example? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 09:35, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

I used a template in the nickname box and it worked. I was trying to put it directly in, and it wasn't working. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 13:22, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Hmm, mine is directly in the box and works. Are you sure you used the same code for both tries? Can you reproduce it? Is it the same code as used in your signature above? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 18:50, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Works now, hmmm. Must not have liked me for some reason. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 03:33, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Prolly was just conforming to the rest of us... unless I'm not supposed to let you know yet, in which case it was probably rebelling against us. Єяøהħ 03:36, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Special:GraceExpired

The links at the top (the words 'abandoned' and 'trash') don't seem to work right. It's a specialpage though, so it might have to be gcardinal or hhhippo that fixes it. --Wizardboy777_(T/C) 23:56, 28 September 2007 (CEST)

Odd... it times out, every time. Bug somewhere would be my bet. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 00:17, 29 September 2007 (CEST)

When you hold the mouse over them, you can see the urls they links to: 'http://wiki.pvxwiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Abandoned' and 'http://wiki.pvxwiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Trash-builds'. I think it's because it's wiki.pvxwiki.com instead of www.pvxwiki.com. It used to be wiki.pvxwiki, but I think it was changed a while back. That page probably just didn't get updated. --Wizardboy777_(T/C) 00:21, 29 September 2007 (CEST)

Fixed. The links were pointing to the old test server. Thanks for noticing. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 19:44, 30 September 2007 (CEST)

Vote Removal

Since you guys keep the back-end work pretty much to GCardinal and Hhhippo, I'll request here an ability to restore removed votes. Shouldn't be too hard, and it is easier than posting on the users talk pages and getting them to do it themselves. Less aggravating too. Thanks. - Krowman {{sysop}} 05:45, 30 August 2007 (CEST)

Implemented. Please test and report problems here. A reason has to be given even though it's not shown anywhere atm. (This is needed for RecentRatings to see the difference between a new/edited vote and a restored one.) – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 23:22, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

Skillbars not Loading

For the past hour or two all the skillbars on the site are freaking out, not loading, not loading completely or not loading correctly, what up? — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 21:40, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Probably your internet, mine are loading fine. — Skakid9090 21:42, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Everything else is running just fine on my end. ONLY skillbars are giving issues. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 21:43, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

I'm having that too, but I'm sharing bandwidth with an entire building... -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 21:54, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

I'm only sharing bandwidth with 2 people and we have a T1. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 21:54, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

I'm not sharing bandwidth with anyone, use a cable modem, and NO skill bars are loading on mine, save for a skill here or there. --Powersurge 22:21, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Still same here. It also doesn't seem to be lag from GWW, since everything on that site pops up fine, too. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 22:33, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Bars are now working, at least for me. --Powersurge 22:38, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Yup - don't know who did what, but it's fixed now. The "any" profession icon's still not there, though. :P — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 22:41, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Try not using IE (which sucks btw), and using FF. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 22:41, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

To say that the only problem is that I'm (might be, not admitting I am) using a web browser that the majority of your viewer still probably use is silly. If you admit there's a problem with IE, you're also admitting the majority of internet-users will have a problem with your site. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 22:43, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Readem is constantly sarcastic. — Skakid9090 22:46, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

(edit conflict)Can i say i was having this prblem (not anymore) and i was using FF......PheNaxKian (T/c) 22:47, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Sometimes it's hard to pickup sarcasm on t3h int3|2butt5. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 22:48, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

I am never sarcastic. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 22:50, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

here 1 down, 2 over. — Skakid9090 22:55, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

This section is "general coding issues". Don't make irrelevant posts here. If we wanted a "bitch about your connection here" section, we would have made one. Archived. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 05:59, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Recent Ratings

Fixed a bug that caused the vote timestamps to be wrong for readers outside GMT+2. The times are shown in the reader's local time now. Note that atm, only the last update (that is, submission, edit, rollback or restore) of each vote is shown in Recent Ratings. There are plans to improve on that.– HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 23:22, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

Split Skillbar?

This skill bar on this page is split-level for some odd reason. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 00:10, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

Still goofy-looking. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 22:41, 11 October 2007 (CEST)

What are you talking about? ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop/Halo 3 File Share) 00:42, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

The first 3 skill blocks are positioned higher up the page than the other 5 other. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 04:02, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Not for me they aren't. *Defiant Elements* +talk 06:04, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

I've checked it on two different computers across town from each other. It's messed up on both. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 06:05, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

You must be using IE. IE fails. Solution: switch to FireFox. There, that's simple. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 06:08, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

On another note, I use IE as well. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 06:11, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

I do web design/development for a living. I use IE because MOST people use IE. If I can't see any problems the majority of my users will see then I'm just setting myself up for failure. Maybe Firefox IS better than IE...doesn't matter until Firefox becomes standard - which it's quickly becoming. But not yet. On another note, I always have someone check my work in FF, too, it doesn't get everything right, either. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 06:47, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Day 2 - Skillbars not Loading

The skillbar images are freaking out again. Is this gonna happen every day at lunchtime? — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 19:24, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

I'm getting some problems with skill bar images againa as well-not as bad as yesterday, i can see some skills but not all....(i use firefox BTW)PheNaxKian (T/c) 19:40, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Looks like it starting to clear up again. Does GWW do server maintenance in the afternoons or something? — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 19:50, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Before whining, it would be nice to have an idea of what you're talking about. Posting a screenshot helps. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 22:16, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

I really doubt this needs a screenshot to be understood. Skill pics on skillbars were not loading at all, loading sporadically, or loading extremely slowly. Happened yesterday at about the same time, too. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 23:45, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

Sounds like it's something on your end, I never have problems with this. Lord Belar 23:49, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

We've already established yesterday it's not a problem on my end. At least 3 other users have reported the same thing during the same time period. — ( ɔ \ ʇ ) uɐɥʇıǝɹ 01:18, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

Post a screenshot so others' know what the hell you're talking about. It doesn't matter if there's "3 other users that have reported the same thing". It no one knows wtf you are trying to say, it won't get fixed. In conclusion, don't be lazy, put up a screenshot. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 18:36, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

Like this. File:Missingicons.jpg Lord Belar 19:19, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

I think I messed that up. Oh well. You get the idea. Lord Belar 19:20, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

I think he's trying to say this. It only started for me today, but none of the skillbars are loading.— Cheese Slaya (Talk) 19:30, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

wow, now everything is fine....— Cheese Slaya (Talk) 19:40, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

Mine would load, except wherever a picture would have been, it was just white. The hex/enchant arrows would show up, as would the lead/offhand/duel marks, just not the picture itself. Lord Belar 20:55, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

(reset indent) neither is quite what i get, i jsut get a white box where the skill image should be no box with a red cross in like Cheese and no enchant/hex etc. marks appearing.....(hasn't happened to me since the other day though.....)PheNaxKian (T/c) 20:58, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

Spoke too soon Image:Skill_not_loading.jpg PheNaxKian (T/c) 21:02, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

I am aware of the problem. Currently switched back to old server. Will try out some new server configurations tonight so might be unstable. gcardinal 15:17, 15 October 2007 (CEST)

Watchlist bug

Not sure if this is a bug with MediaWiki or what, but I have the page Build:Me/N Well of Illusions on my watchlist, and even after I visit it several times it still thinks I haven't looked at it since its last update (its still in bold). Other pages act normally. This has happened in the past, but it goes away after a while. --Wizardboy777 00:50, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

Happens every once. I use the mark all as read function to bypass it. Still a bug tho Swiftslash \\ (contributions *warrior guide) 16:56, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

Ditto. –Ichigo724 17:07, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

Have seen that, too. Seems to be a Mediawiki thing. I think it's something like the wiki believes a page is on the watchlist but the talk page is not, or vice versa. The one that is not on the watchlist will not trigger the 'read' status. A workaround is to unwatch and watch again. Make sure that both page and talk page are watched (that should usually be the case automatically). – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 04:06, 15 September 2007 (CEST)

See also here. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 20:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Ratings

Timestamps on the ratings would be nice. Don't think it would be hard to implement, but adding them to all the old ratings might be tough. Not a big deal, but if possible, add it. --Wizardboy777_(T/C) 22:44, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

Stop reading my thoughts, I'm working on that ;-) – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 23:22, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

I has mad mind-reading skillz. :P --Wizardboy777_(T/C) 23:23, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

Done. Please test. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 21:23, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

Nice job hhhippo. Very useful to tell what votes are before or after major rewrite. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 21:26, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

More ratings stuff

I see this in the recent ratings: '16:52 . . Team - Conflagrated Coalition; Rating: 2.45 (acceptable) . . E:2 U:2 I:5' It's rated a 2.45, but says 'acceptable'. I thought the lowest 'acceptable' score was 2.5 --Wizardboy777_(T/C) 23:22, 28 September 2007 (CEST)

That may be a result of an original discrepancy as to whether we wanted to round votes up or not. Not a major issue but one that I guess should probably be fixed. *Defiant Elements* +talk 00:24, 29 September 2007 (CEST)

I'll have a look. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 20:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Fixed. Was a bug in RecentRatings. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 21:52, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

Um, the server doesn't seem to like the ampersand... -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 08:17, 7 October 2007 (CEST)

Wait, so how did you even make the page if the server seems to disreguard everything past (and including) the &? Like, how did you get to the page for the very first time? єяøהħ 00:44, 8 October 2007 (CEST)

It used to work fine. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 00:50, 8 October 2007 (CEST)

Ampersands in page names are not supported since they are mis-interpreted by the web server. No idea why it worked before, might be some special configuration on the old server. Please avoid such names for now. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 21:27, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

Banned users voting

Teh Uber Pwnzer has informed me that one may rate builds while one's account is banned. This is not good for sockpuppetry. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 07:36, 15 November 2007 (CET)

Has Hhhipo or Gc read this yet? — Teh Uber Pwnzer 06:45, 28 November 2007 (CET)

I've read it, but no time until next week. Will take a look. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 01:00, 29 November 2007 (CET)

Talk pages without main pages

It's pretty hard to find talk pages for deleted builds (you have to cross-reference this with this), and someone isn't very good at remembering to delete the talk pages :P. A special page that lists talks without associated main pages would be great. --Wizardboy777(T/C/Sysop) 03:51, 26 October 2007 (CEST)

I'll have a look at it. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 09:54, 1 November 2007 (CET)

Hey! I remember to delete talk pages! Well, now I do... -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 00:22, 12 November 2007 (CET)

Special:Statistics

There have been a total of 0 page views, and 159,288 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 10.03 average edits per page, and 0.00 views per edit. <- Zero page views? Wtf? Also, the comma between 'page views, and' isn't necessary. And set up should be two words. --Wizardboy777(T/C) 00:45, 21 October 2007 (CEST)

The Wiki engine can't see the page views since most of them are handled by Squid. We will work on that page once the more important things are done. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 21:34, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

Div Frames

They don't work. Some examples of hide-able div frames are this and this. —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲ 16:15, 16 September 2007 (CEST)

Sorry, at frist I thought those were PvX links. I'm sitting here thinking "they work fine for me..." Єяøהħ 17:05, 16 September 2007 (CEST)

Will have a look. It's low priority though. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 20:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Checkuser links

I don't know if this is possible, but a Checkuser link next to people's names in Recent Changes and Ratings. Like Scarymonsterclan (Talk | contribs | Checkuser)... that would be nice, it's not to hard to do it now, but sounds like if it's possible it'd be an easy code. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 22:34, 22 September 2007 (CEST)

Should be possible, but will take some work. I'm not sure I'd like to modify Recent Changes, since that's a core part of Media Wiki and changes will make it even more difficult to upgrade the wiki software. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 20:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Yet more ratings stuff....

I was wondering (this may not be possiable at all jsut a thought though) would it be at all possiable to make a template or something where it automaticly updates the catagory it's in (e.g if something was at 4.49 in the good catagory and someone votted and it went to 4.5 or 4.51 to make it great, instead of having to manualy switch it it would automaticly do it.)PheNaxKian (T/c) 21:22, 29 September 2007 (CEST)

ENGLISH IZ GUD. --Wizardboy777(T/C) 22:09, 2 October 2007 (CEST)

Dynamic templates. Not too hard to understand. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 00:25, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

Is on our major-things-to-do-list. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 20:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

If you're gonna get into dynamic templating... if you put, say, a {{build-stub}} tag on a build, then move the build, the build still appears in Category:Build stubs under the old title, and you have to remove and then put the stub tag in again to get it into the right place. It would be nice if it updated itself. --Wizardboy777(T/C) 04:08, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

That's what i mean-where the template automaticly updates and changes what catagorey it's in.PheNaxKian (T/c) 17:59, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

Recent ratings and rollbacks

It would be helpful for detecting violations of 1RV with votes if it was possible to see previous rollbacked/deleted/edited votes. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 05:02, 6 October 2007 (CEST)

Indeed. It's planned, but it includes a change of the database structure, so it might take a bit. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 21:25, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

GWW or GW? Let Preferences Decide!

I think we should put an option in preferences that lets you change where the skill links go, and also where GW: and GWW: go. Possible? ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 15:19, 27 October 2007 (CEST)

That sounds like a great idea. --Teh Uber Pwnzer 01:04, 28 October 2007 (CEST)

Sounds good, don't know how difficult it would be to implement. Lord Belar 01:34, 28 October 2007 (CEST)

About links in the skill bars: That's a PvXcode thing, mainly gcardinal's area. I think as a quick solution putting one link on the skill icon and the other on the name should be easy. About GW: and GWW: changing the interwiki link mechanism is major surgery to the engine. Anyway, I'd like to keep the possibility for authors to decide where they want to link. What we could try is making an additional magic word like __GW__ which would then translate into GW: or GWW: depending on the reader's preferences. But I didn't look into the details yet, no idea how much work it would be. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 10:01, 1 November 2007 (CET)

My watchlist

Whenever I click on it, it opens up a download for Special-Watchlist. Tried setting it to open with firefox, but all I get is a page of code. Disabled a few addons, no luck. Anyone got a clue how to fix this? — Tycn (talk*pvxcontribs) 05:02, 16 December 2007 (CET)

In all browsers? (try IE/FF/opera at least) –Ichigo724 05:07, 16 December 2007 (CET)

Works fine in IE, but then again, it's IE. — Tycn (talk*pvxcontribs) 05:55, 16 December 2007 (CET)

Try updating FF? Opera fails, imo, and IE, like you said, is IE, so no one wants to use it. If that doesn't work, check all your settings. I accidentally had it set up so any page I went to it started to send all server links to my C:. Might be something like that. cedave _{(contributions_buildpage)} 18:12, 16 December 2007 (CET)

Recent changes RSS and atom feeds

Don't seem to work. [1] [2]. Both of them tell me This feed contains code errors. --Wizardboy777(T/C) 00:45, 21 October 2007 (CEST)

I would love to get this working... Great for school where you can't always have RC open. It looks like a very simple fix too.

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity Location: http://pvxwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ^ Fixable I would think by moving that line, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> to the very top. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 09:47, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Rate Tab

This is directed at gcard or anyone who has coding experience. Is there anyway for you to be able to have the rate tab available while on the discussion tab? It's kinda annoying to go to the build tab again just to rate something after adding to the discussion. --Lost 05:43, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

I agree, it is a lil annoying... hardly priority though. Search system>this. -- frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 05:58, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

I'm working on it, but it's difficult since the tab on the talk page has to trigger an action on another page. Be patient... – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 23:22, 27 September 2007 (CEST)

There was a solution to this which poke used in his GWWiki tools on gww. I'll point you to it when I have the time too search for it. -- (gem / talk) 00:59, 7 November 2007 (CET)

That would be nice. Also along these lines, I was thinking that maybe users not logged in could see the ratings but not rate. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to log in I wish I could just see how a build is doing or etc. --GuildofDeals 19:23, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Rating Page protection

Can we get a way to protect a discussion page? It would be nice when a dispute like the Toucher happens... lock it so that votes can't be removed. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 20:14, 30 October 2007 (CET)

Just to add on to Frvwfr2's comment: in that situation, it should lock the vote page in such a way that votes cannot be removed nor can new votes be added. *Defiant Elements* +talk 03:44, 1 November 2007 (CET)

That too. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 01:31, 4 November 2007 (CET)

Locking new builds by default, until they are in the Testing phase, could also be helpful.--War Pig5 13:59, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Locking builds until they're in testing would be difficult, if not impossible. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 21:38, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Not if we had those dynamic category tags. Lord Belar 21:46, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Would it be possible to auto-tag Stubs and Trial builds that have been unchanged for 2 weeks, or even automatically enter them into this category? — Rapta (talk|contribs) 03:29, 6 November 2007 (CET)

Build Master Implementation

So, as per general consensus, we're planning on doing a trial run to test out the impact of BMs on PvX. From everything I've been told, it shouldn't be terribly hard to add the code necessary to create a BM category, but, it does have to be done. *Defiant Elements* +talk 01:01, 1 December 2007 (CET)

The code is implemented now. Build Masters can be promoted/demoted any time by the bcrats. Both BMs and sysops can roll back/restore votes. BM's votes have a weighting of 200%. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 10:18, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Banned Users Voting

Hasn't been resolved. — UberizAwesome 18:19, 27 December 2007 (EST)

Fix this now please. Because when certain users who rarely do anything BUT vote keep breaking 1RV with votes, banning isn't much of a threat because it doesn't stop the voting, and since they don't contribute, it doesn't matter if they can't >.> ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 21:43, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Also, banned BMs can still remove votes :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 21:40, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Well, the fix will probably just stop banned users from accessing the ratings page, which would also stop BMs. I just put it up here cause skakid said he could still remove votes while he was accidentally banned :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 23:33, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Preferences

Hopefully this is just me, but when I go to change my "nickname", my uhh... de facto sig, I need to change my preferences at least twice till it stays. hen [contribs] 20:56, 27 December 2007 (EST)

Happens to me sometimes too. I'll sometimes change my sig, but when I go to use it, it reverts to my previous sig. Yes, I do save it too. --GuildofDeals 08:04, 28 December 2007 (EST)

More of mediawiki issue. It is just so much stuff going on with proxy, caching and so on, things like that can get lost in the way. gcardinal 11:59, 31 December 2007 (EST)

my stalklist

last time i checked it was "my watchlist" -.- cKow^Dont 16:46, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Personally, I'm just glad I didn't break the wiki when I changed it. :P Talk:Main Page#Stalklist -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 16:53, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Just for the record, Special:Watchlist still directs properly. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 16:53, 29 December 2007 (EST)

It's ok now.. just looked wierd^^ cKow^Dont 21:38, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Rate tab

Would it be possible to have the rate tab also show how many ratings the build has received, and maybe even what its current rating is? Maybe like "rate (0.00, 0 votes)" or something like that. As it is, anonymous users, users without confirmed emails, and users without 8 contribs can't even view the ratings page. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 18:11, 6 January 2008 (EST)

More ratings page stuff

The message on the ratings page when you don't have enough contributions is improper English and hard to understand. Right now it says:

Contributions required.
Looks like you a new to PvXwiki. For security reasons we requiere some edits\contributions to be made before voting is allowed.
You can start by adding some info about yourself to your userpage.

I would change it to:

Contributions Required
PvXwiki requires you to have at least 8 contributions before voting. A contribution is any edit to any page.
A good way to get your first few contributions would be by adding some information about yourself to your userpage.

¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 18:17, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Implemented. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 14:18, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Contributions Tab

I think userpages should have a tab for Contributions. This makes life generally easier if you're interested in some things someone has done or if you are checking contribs to prove/disprove sockpuppetry. It would make life a lot more easier. IDK if it could be done 'cause I'm a coding (Wikicode and HTML) noob. --GuildofDeals 19:21, 12 January 2008 (EST)

There is one? Shen(contribs) 19:32, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Go to any user page or user talk page, scroll down to the toolbox, and click "User contributions". ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 22:41, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Told you I was a WikiNoob. --GuildofDeals 15:40, 23 January 2008 (EST)

If your contributions are deleted, you can't rate builds

Extremely minor, but still there. If you have 8 contribs, but then have 1 or more deleted, you no longer get to vote. Found it using User:1|the sock I use for testing stuff. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 23:31, 12 January 2008 (EST)

That's because they aren't contribs anymore. That's the only reason I don't have 1000ish more contribs than I do - I delete all of them :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 23:38, 12 January 2008 (EST)

So, if I was a new contributer and made a build and it got deleted, then I never contributed anything at all? — Teh Uber Pwnzer 06:40, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Well, you did, there just isn't a record of it anymore. And because of that, we can't checkuser you. Which is why we recommend making a userpage, because that won't be deleted unless you request it. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 12:04, 13 January 2008 (EST)

User Ratings

I made a preliminary version of My Ratings: Special:UserRatings. At the moment you can only use it to see a list of your own ratings (and only the most recent 200). It will be extended to show other user's ratings (and all of them) later. Please test. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 14:29, 13 January 2008 (EST)

I have a vote posted twice (i'll put a screen up in a mo)PheNaxKian (T/c) 14:36, 13 January 2008 (EST)

It's working perfect for me, just what I would want. Would it be possible to put it up there next to my contributions for the final version? Also, special:myratings? And we would find other people's votes as Special:Ratings/Name here. — Victoryisyours (talk/pvxcontribs) 14:41, 13 January 2008 (EST)

here Also thanks for making it =P PheNaxKian (T/c) 14:44, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Same thing happened with me. And this is really cool, thx. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 14:54, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Strange. Is it always the oldest vote that is doubled? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 15:19, 13 January 2008 (EST)

My last one's doubled, also.

Shen(contribs) 15:25, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Double last line fixed. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 17:23, 13 January 2008 (EST)

I wanna see Eloc's :p. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 15:21, 13 January 2008 (EST)

I want to see guild of deal's. But as he usually reates build bad, so they get deleted and then they dont show up on it. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 15:31, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Removed ones show. Lord Belar 15:50, 13 January 2008 (EST)

No I meant the build gets deleted, so they dont show up then. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 16:01, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Oh, right. Still, it's just like contribs. Lord Belar 16:07, 13 January 2008 (EST)

A deleted build (that link goes to Build:Bonsai nine/Mo/Me Signet Smiting Monk) is showing up on mine. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 19:26, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Is anyone able to change/delete inapropriate votes?--Frans 10:37, 17 January 2008 (EST)

BMs and admins can remove inappropriate votes. If you think votes somewhere are bad, post a request higher up in the 'Build-specific issues' section (there are instructions at the top of this page). ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 13:08, 19 January 2008 (EST)

Rollback

Don't know where to put it so i put it here, but can we plant a edit on rollbacked votes? For example, if you make a typo, you gotta first restore it, and then rollback again, which is pretty annoing. - Unexist 04:52, 20 January 2008 (EST)

For New Players

I had no idea which section to put this, so i put it here. I think that we need a section for new players to give them specific details on how to make a build, how to put images on it, how to make links to other websites(like youtube for an example of the build) and also how to transfer web images to PVX, and lastly, how to make your homepage. When i joined(about 3 weeks ago, but ive known this website since it came out), i had trouble doing this, and i still dont know how to make pictuers, so i think that this would be helpful. I Am Jebus 15:23, 21 January 2008 (EST)

I echo this sentiment. As much as it pains me to reference GWW, we need some sort of Welcome Mat. Perhaps a contest? Shen(contribs) 15:29, 21 January 2008 (EST)

However, any page I envision would need some to make some controversial generalities, of which I would actually look forward to discussing in the course of such a contest. Shen(contribs) 15:31, 21 January 2008 (EST)

And it'd also be imperative we make our policy page significantly tidier, if we were to point newbs to them. This'd be, then, a huge endeavor. Shen(contribs) 15:33, 21 January 2008 (EST)

"Hi there. Welcome to PvXwiki. As you probably suck, here's some help. kthx." --71.229.204.25 15:34, 21 January 2008 (EST)

I SECOND THE MOTION!!!!! I Am Jebus 15:35, 21 January 2008 (EST)

From the sounds of things it's more of a "how to use wiki crap" rather than "how to make good builds" so i would say it's a somewhat good idea (jsut for those who have no idea what so ever) but tbh i think the other policies just about cover everything we need to know, but i think making the key policies with said information in them more prominent on the main page might eb a good idea, so it's something you instantly see kind of thing.PheNaxKian (T/c) 16:49, 21 January 2008 (EST)

That was kind of the idea behind this. I just haven't really done that much with it yet. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 17:45, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Awright, will u let other people edit that to help? I Am Jebus 18:02, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Yea, anyone who wants to help out with that is welcome to. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 18:13, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Hows this? I Am Jebus 22:11, 14 February 2008 (EST)

BM Recent ratings

how about marking bms in the recent ratings list? - Y0_ich_halt 16:01, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Most people know who the BM's are anyways. I'm pretty sure that if I saw a rating an it was for example Skakid I would know "Oh, it's a BM!" --GuildofDeals 16:33, 3 February 2008 (EST)

Toolbar

My Editing Toolbar is gone. Same goes for atleast InfestedHydralisk, so it's not my computer. --GuildofDeals 21:00, 8 February 2008 (EST)

It doesn't show up for me either. On IE or Firefox. Also, see User talk:Gcardinal#Editing toolbar. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 21:02, 8 February 2008 (EST)

Search Plugin

On Firefox it gives you the option to Add PvX Wiki to the search toolbar but then says it can't find pvxwiki.com/search.xml when you try to add it.
