== Templates ==
== LSL Syntax highlighting on the wiki ==
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]].
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 The syntax highlighting for LSL is really out-of-date.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?

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 thought this through some more (nested templates demand nested logic!) and now clearly understand the [[Template:Navbox]] benefits you're pointing out to me! 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.

a while ago, I was under the mistaken impression that the slang "bollocks" could be used in the same way as the slangs "damn" and "crap", though more recently I've read it is supposed to be used for a different meaning, would it be possible to replace the instance of that slang that got archived with the last version of my comment about my first link the Joss Stone video with your colortheme having become invalid, with "balls"  please?

LSL Syntax highlighting on the wiki

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 this link to a third-party editor to her/him as a reference, to the best of my knowledge it is up to date. -- 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. - Torley-favicon.png on 2012-10-08 @ 5:51 AM Pacific
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! -- Kireji Haiku 06:54, 8 October 2012 (PDT)
Oh and while you're at it, please update the editor in the Second Life viewers, too! Thanks. -- Kireji Haiku 00:41, 9 October 2012 (PDT)
