Template:LSL Function/inventory/de

Hey I saw you ported Template:LSL Function/inventory/de, but I noticed you used the Template:AAn which is an English auto grammar template. I don't know if German has the same A/An grammar quirk. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 04:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, you're right. It was the last thing I did before going to bed and then I forgot about it again. We don't have the exact same quirk but a similar problem. Depending on the "gender" of the noun, we'd use "ein" or "eine". Sound (Geräusch) is male and requires "ein Geräusch" (or "no sound" would be "kein Geräusch") while Texture (Textur) is female and requires "eine Textur" (or "no texture" would be "keine Textur"). I'm not yet able to see an easy work-around since there is no way to detect the "gender" of a noun via the string functions. So I think I'll just write "ein(e)" and "kein(e)" instead of adding additional parameters to the template or having a lookup again. Thx for reminding!

Deutsche in SL

Hi Zai, I'm about to update this article Deutsche in SL - Wo sind denn die Deutschen. Now I am wondering if it should be called "Deutsche Sprache in SL - Wo sind denn die Deutschen, Oesterreicher und Schweizer?" and if so I really will need some help with routing this article or however this is done ;)

BTW, thank you for removing the drama hehe --Torben Trautman 16:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Heyas Torben! =)

I think that there is a more up-to-date version of this notecard in the German Linguists pavillion at SLVEC. It should be in the notecards backpack.

@Content and naming: That might be a neat idea (can even write Österreicher with the Umlaut)! Though I got to admit that I'm not really connected to the German speaking community and therefor won't be able to give much input. But I'll have a look around and send you my findings. Besides that, the article should contain that even though there are places where lots of German speaking people are gathered together, many are integrated in the English speaking community.

@Drama: very welcome ^_^

huhu Zai, ich hab da jetzt was zusammengebastelt: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Torben_Trautman/Sandbox Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, diese Content-Box dauerhaft auszublenden oder ganz wegzumachen? --Torben Trautman 16:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Die contents kannst du mit __NOTOC__ komplett ausschalten oder mit __TOC__ an eine bestimmte Stelle zwingen, Schriftgröße ändern, etc.

Katrin Linden gehört auch noch zu den deutschsprachigen Linden. Sie kümmert sich meines Wissens nach um die CGs.

Du kannst auch Wiki-Interne Links zu Kategorien geben, mit einem Doppelpunkt vor "Category". Also in Deinem Fall: Deutschsprachige Freiwillige (Schaut schöner aus ohne das Schloß).

Ansonsten ein sehr schöner Artikel =) Wenn er veröffentlicht ist, erkläre ich mich bereit noch Umlaute nachzureichen ^_^

LG, Lynch ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Danke Zai :) Oh cool, so geht das :) *YAY* Ich trage die Umlaute gleich nach, der Computer auf dem ich das geschrieben hab wehrt sich mit Hard- und Software gegen den Treiber für die deutsche Tastatur... --Torben Trautman 17:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Request completed!!

I've done translating the pages you requested. I'll be keep translating pages into Korean but I still don't know much about the wiki syntax. Can you please review my pages and check if they have any errors? (Teresia Renfold 01:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC))

Heyas!

Thank you bunches!!! =)

I made a minor fix at 멘터 번역가/LSL 목차 L10n in order to make the template recognize the right base page and to Project:Languages/ko to fix the version. The rest looked perfect! I also took part in writing a Quickie Wiki Intro and made a video tutorial about translations in the Wiki, so that might help you when you're stuck somewhere. In case you got any questions or problems, always feel free to ask here =) Or write it in the edit summary and I'll have a look at it. Thanks again for the great and incredibly fast help!

Template:CountDown

OMG you are brilliant. I hadn't thought of exploiting the late execution of template parameters so that you could insert values into the center via variables. Logical next step... a bunch of templates already do this sort of thing... but still brilliant. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 08:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

aaww you know how to make me blush (^_^) TY!!! Lynch ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Issues with your changes on Bug triage and Template:Triage_Template

Hi, first of all thanks for adding the templating system since as the person who most of the time seems to volunteer to deal with the week to week work for the Monday bug triage I'm happy for anything that will make things easier but it seems like there is an issue with how the new data is being spaced when filled out and copied over to the bug triage page. Not sure if anyone will fix it or whatever before you see it but my changes were to Bug_triage and Bug_triage/2008-12-29, on the bug triage page I just changed the last triage date to today's and then on the 12/29 page (for next week's meeting) I filled in the information I think correctly. If I did this wrong please let me know how to do it correctly. GW ^(T|C) -- 21:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Heyas & THX for the feedback! =)

I'm not quite sure why the formatting was broken, but a minor tweak fixed it. I guess it should work fine from now on. I also thought about how to add an implementation that automatically adds the date of the last triage. I'll keep you posted on this since I think it wouldn't be to hard to do.

Oh btw: can you have a look at Talk:Bug triage#chapter vs. category?

Greetz =) Lynch ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Last triage should work now too =)

I assumed that it's weekly and in case the monday (or wednesday) is a holiday, that it's postponed by (exactly) one week. It checks if a page is available for the agenda of the date one week before. In case there's none, then it sets the date to two weeks before. I can't use a loop (WEB-343) to do it multiple times so I thought 2 holidays in a row might be unlikely and can be edited by hand. Same with meetings that aren't postponed by a whole week but just for a few days. I think this covers most cases though :-) Keep in mind that it's cached and might need a null edit to display the latest links.
