| == Wufoo form question == | | == LSL Syntax highlighting on the wiki == |
|
| |
|
| Hi Torley
| | Greetings, who's responsible at LL for the wiki? The syntax highlighting for LSL is really out-of-date. Could you give me a name of who I'd have to talk to? Or could you forward [[User:Kireji_Haiku/Ultraedit Syntax Highlight|this link to a third-party editor]] to her/him as a reference, to the best of my knowledge it is up to date. -- [[User:Kireji Haiku|Kireji Haiku]] 05:21, 8 October 2012 (PDT) |
| | : Kireji, thanks for getting in touch! I appreciate you compiling these improvements. I haven't worked closely on the wiki in awhile and I don't think we have a current wiki "sysadmin" but I'll ask around. {{TorSig}} <font size="1">on 2012-10-08 @ 5:51 AM Pacific</font> |
| | :: I also got an up-to-date LSL syntax highlighting bundle for TextMate if that helps. If you want a copy, post me an email-address where to send it. Thanks! -- [[User:Kireji Haiku|Kireji Haiku]] 06:54, 8 October 2012 (PDT) |

| [[User:Zai Lynch|Zai]] suggested to bring this up here on your discussion page, as you'd know who would be responsible. So could you have a look at [[MediaWiki talk:Hf-nsheader-Linden Lab Official#Where_to_file_Policy_Change_Requests.3F|Where to file Policy Change Requests?]], please? Thanks!

| == Inworld policy on bots ==
| |
| Hi Torley, I´m translating this article ([http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CT-538 CT-538]) and in the section "How will this be enforced" it says "This time next week we will begin to routinely look at the Search results and where we find clear use of Bots to gain an unfair Search advantage we will be handling it as an abuse issue." Now I´m wondering if I should translate it like "We have begun to routinely..." or if I should just leave it as is as it is citing from the blog... --[[User:Torben Trautman|Torben Trautman]] 18:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

|
| |
| Also I was wondering about this part: "Going forward we are going to look at ways to allow you to voluntarily identify to us that an account is a Bot, so that we can remove it from Traffic completely." I guess I´ll just leave everything as is and we update the article once it´s up to date? --[[User:Torben Trautman|Torben Trautman]] 18:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

| |
| ::[[What is an avatar key?]] is same as [[What is a UUID?]]. Should be "an" UUID anyway, or?
| |
| ::Three images in [[Tips and Tricks: Better Building with Primfficiency!]] aren't working ([https://d3.parature.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=4417&task=knowledge&questionID=4116 weren't working in Parature either]).
| |
| ::Also, the [[Style Guide]] mentions that the first appearance of trademarked terms should have their related trademark symbols. [[Template:Seal]] contains the terms "Second Life" and "Linden Lab". Would be clever to add ® there, then we won't have to manually fix it in each article for the actual content.
| |
| ::Maybe a link to the [[Community Translation Project]] would be a good idea in there. We're having no obvious link where people are encouraged to translate articles (would be of great benefit for the CT Project.

| |
| :Alerted by an edit of [[User:JamesG Comsys|JamesG Comsys]], I noticed that there are three articles currently linking to a non-existend [[Concierge Support contact information]] article. These are:
| |
| :* [[Linden Lab Official:Private Region (Island) Transfer Process]]
| |
| :* [[Linden Lab Official:What's Concierge service and how do I get it?]]
| |
| :* [[Linden Lab Official:What are the different levels of account membership?]]
| |
| :I guess [[Concierge Support contact information]] might be one of the articles that should still be in Parature, since LL only makes these available to people with the right account status. So the blank Wiki article would best be removed and the LLO article links updated to point back to parature.

| == Templates ==
| |
| Heyas :-)<br>
| |
| To remarks about templates. One is related to the [[Template:Navbox]] subpages. I think, rather than using templates inside a navbox, it would be better to use a navbox inside a template. The advantages are: More freedom to change the appearance and less to type when you want to include it in an article. <br>
| |
| So instead of
| |
| <pre>
| |
| {{Navbox
| |
| |title={{Navbox/Adult-title}}
| |
| |content={{Navbox/Adult}}
| |
| }}</pre>
| |
| You'd create one [[Template:Adult Navbox]] and then use a <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Navbox|title=something|content=something else}} inside of it. You'd just have to add <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Adult Navbox}} to articles (looks cleaner) and you can style changes in the Adult Navbox without having to change the Navbox template (or all articles using it).
| |
|
| |
| Another thing: some tags don't like wikicode as an argument. They don't interpret it as wikicode. <nowiki><videoflash>, <lsl> and <pre></nowiki> belong to these. They need to be treated with a <nowiki>{{</nowiki>#tag|parameter|argument1=value1|argument2=value2}} kind of setup, see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Formatting the one on the bottom here]. I changed it for [[Template:KBvideo]].

| |
| P.S: After I realized that "greets" isn't a proper way to say "sincerly yours" in a less formal way in English, I'm in the dilemma of lacking a flowery phrase to end my mails and comments :-/ ^^
| |
| : Hey Zai! I thought about "it would be better to use a navbox inside a template" too. But here's the problem: then what happens if I want to change the UNIVERSAL STYLE of all those navboxes? Or, what if I just want to include the article listing WITHOUT the box, as on [[:Category:Adult]]? Anyway, we're still in the early stages here, so if this ends up being awkward, it surely will be replaced by a better way. That's evolution.
| |
| : I'll check [[Template:KBvideo]] soon and appreciate your attention to detail.

I also misunderstood how styles get applied, so ignore my "UNIVERSAL STYLE" question. I'm going to make your suggested ''superior'' change to the "Adult" and "Xstreet" ones shortly.
