Revision as of 21:54, 6 August 2008
Hi. Welcome. It's fantastic to see you here to help. Thanks! By the way I've tried to make you a sysop and bureaucrat. I sort of got mixed up. I hope it worked. --Graham grove 22:58, 16 July 2008 (PDT)
- Yeah, it worked. I have to say, I think that's a bit much authority out of the gate. I'll try not to abuse my position! --Aquatiki 04:34, 17 July 2008 (PDT)
- Being not the most technical person and not knowing exactly how much access you need to work your magic, I thought I'd better give you full authority. --Graham grove 11:15, 17 July 2008 (PDT)
Hi Robert,
See the answer to your question on my userpage. Thanks.

Greek
Hi Robert. Remember how we were talking about having or not having individual pages for each individual word and each inflected form? I thought you might be interested at taking a look at wiktionary, where it seems that is exactly how they are doing it. For example, take a look at logos:
Cheers. --Graham grove 13:34, 18 July 2008 (PDT)
- And with all the vast resources (I'm not being sarcastic) of the Wikipedia/Wiktionary community, they've made 128 of them (click on the category). The GNT alone would require 100000. I still don't think it's a wise plan. :-( --Aquatiki 13:42, 18 July 2008 (PDT)
- PS The extension "Character Escapes", that I wrote about on the Village Pump, is the way to insert characters onto an edit page.
- True, they do have very vast resources (still, I guess they're thinking big). Cool, I look forward to Character Escapes being installed. Thanks. --Graham grove 13:47, 18 July 2008 (PDT)
- Hey Robert. Prab's happy to give you the access you need to do some further modifications to WikiChristian. Give him an email about it. Thanks. --Graham grove 09:47, 23 July 2008 (PDT)
Project namespace
HI Robert (I see that's your name). I was wondering, what should our project namespace be? I personally like just "WikiChristian". Almost all wikis have project namespace that way. God bless you, Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:35, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Thanks Ryan. I am for "WikiChristian", because as you say, every wiki I've seen does that. I think the previous system of WikiChristian dot org implied that somewhere out there was a WikiChristian dot com or dot net. P.S. Does the † and the "Cross" in you name make you Ryan++? ;-P Aquatiki 06:39, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Um, I don't know. Just RyanCross. The actual cross in my sig is just for decor, and it shows a cross because my username has "Cross" i it. ;) Anyway, if the project namespace should be "WikiChristian", then why did you do this. :P Thanks, Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Ah, I see your question. Using
Project:
is a trick I picked up after learning about Magic words. I always write {{SITENAME}} instead of WikiChristian andProject:
instead of WikiChristian: because if they're ever changed in the future, those links and that name will still display/work correctly. You can see that the links on Help:Content work now and they will still work if we ever change the wiki variable $wgSitename. --Aquatiki 06:57, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

Problem with a page
Hi again. Is it me, or is there a problem with User:RyanCross/Topbar? God bless, Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:28, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Do you need help picking a different color? What would you like help with? --Aquatiki 08:39, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Well, on my screen, it seems the tabs at the top and the navigation bar on the right seems different from other pages. Can you see it? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:41, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- OK, I did some work. You had two
<div>'s
you never closed and about six<font>'s
that never closed. I put everything on separate lines for easier reading. Now what do you think? --Aquatiki 08:52, 24 July 2008 (PDT)- Yup, it's fixed now. Thank you very much. :) -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:53, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

<-- Hehe, now I have another problem with a page. :P It seems Special:Emailuser isn't working, and it says there's no such page as Special:Emailuser. Do you know what the problem may be? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 09:26, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- I see that. Where did it go?!?! When was the last time you saw it? Maybe it's time to upgrade to mediawiki 1.13... --Aquatiki 09:33, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Yup... we need an upgrade. I've never used the email feature here, so I wouldn't know when the last time I saw it... -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 09:36, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- 'Works on my my wiki, but I'm not sure what version number that comes with. I've never seen it work here either. Did you just copy stuff from another mediawiki site? --Aquatiki 09:58, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Did I copy stuff? No, I just noticed it didn't work. Trust me, I'm bad at installing extensions and features. I just know how to use them. :) -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 10:01, 24 July 2008 (PDT)

<-- Hi there. Is my user page color better than before? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 13:08, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- A tiny bit. What about "lightseagreen" or the color of the border? --Aquatiki 13:12, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
- Done. Look again. I think I might try brown. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 13:33, 24 July 2008 (PDT)
Bible
Hi Robert. Any further thoughts on the formatting for the Bible pages on WikiChristian? --Graham grove 13:44, 28 July 2008 (PDT)
- Sorry, I've been very busy at work and over on lyricwiki.org. I've been pestering them for change for months now and no one has listened to me. Now, all of a sudden, the implemented my plan which was only half finished! I've scrambling to catch up. Also, I've hit a snag here trying to make Template:Navbox work. I'm afraid I may have to mess with the site JavaScript by hand, but I've wanted to avoid that if at all possible. I got collapsible frames to work on ReformedWord, but I can for the life of me remember how! I think I'm through the thick of it over on lyricwiki, so I just need to push through at work and I'll have some time. Hopefully Friday at the latest. --Aquatiki 13:53, 28 July 2008 (PDT)
- No worries. Take your time. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you at all. There's absolutely no rush at all with any of this. What a pity about the collapsible frames thing! But, maybe we can organize the page so there is no need for collapsible frames - there are bound to be alternatives. Maybe we could simply display the various translations somewhere down the bottom of the page, perhaps after the "Commentary" or after the "Links". Anyway, just a thought. Good luck with your ongoing work at ReformedWord and lyricswiki. --Graham grove 14:26, 28 July 2008 (PDT)
Friends over
Hi Robert. I've just had some friends drop over so I'll be out of action on any discussion for a couple hours. But I'm thinking that a clear picture has emerged. So feel free to get started in earnest if you feel the desire. --Graham grove 09:25, 2 August 2008 (PDT)
- Thanks for the heads up. Have fun. --Aquatiki 09:26, 2 August 2008 (PDT)
Collapsibility
Collapsibility has returned! You obviously fixed something. --Graham grove 15:10, 2 August 2008 (PDT)
- I restored MediaWiki:Monobook.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.js. What gives??! Those don't even have the collapsibility code in them!!!?! Oh well: The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. --Aquatiki 15:12, 2 August 2008 (PDT)
Vandalism yesterday
Just wanted to say good job cleaning up the vandalism yesterday. It was a Grawp attack. I'm right now cleaning up the last pieces. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 17:55, 3 August 2008 (PDT)
- There's lots to do. Just doing what I can. --Aquatiki 17:56, 3 August 2008 (PDT)
- What's a Grawp attack?
- By the way, brilliant work with BotUm. --Graham grove 22:50, 3 August 2008 (PDT)
- As you know, I'm a Wikipedian, which means I edit Wikipedia. User:Grawp comes by often to make big hits of vandalism to Wikipedia. What he usually does is move pages to "Hagger" or something. You can easily tell he was here because he moved multiple pages to "something, something, Hagger??...". Grawp just happened to attack us this time. Well, anywho, he's gone... for now. All I can tell you from here is that Grawp is not a good person. It'sa good thing Aquatiki was here to cleanup the mess. :) And of course, I finished the mess. :P Keep on the lookout. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 23:44, 3 August 2008 (PDT)
My Christian beliefs
Hi there. Graham grove suggested I tell my Christian beliefs before I become a bureaucrat, so it can now be seen at User:RyanCross/Christian. Best, Ryan†Cross (talk) 00:13, 4 August 2008 (PDT)
- I answered your question. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 16:54, 4 August 2008 (PDT)
Random Verse
I like the "Random verse" feature. It will be great to click on "Random page" and not get a Bible verse. --Graham grove 14:54, 6 August 2008 (PDT)
