Citation extension

Hey, could you have a look at installing this? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php

It allows for citations & footnotes. Would help with writing the getting started page -Maxim (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2013 (WEST)

Re: Player infobox

The template Template:Player infobox has now optional and default fields. The default fields are: Alias, Country, Competition formats, Main class, Current team, Steam profile link. If you need them changed, get back to me on my talk page and I'll quickly change them, but I thought the fields I selected are reasonable, as they are publicly available and required by pretty much every league. --Atlas (talk) 10:24, 5 July 2013 (WEST)

On thumbnails not working

I'm not sure what did you try to get the thumbnails fixed, but maybe this MediaWiki manual page will help in some way? As I said, I have no idea what's installed and what isn't, but it's worth a look/a try. --Atlas (talk) 10:58, 5 July 2013 (WEST)

Ah, so it's a host problem. In that case, I'll just stay tuned. I have a couple things I want to do to get everything done faster, so I'll start preparing while the servers get fixed. --Atlas (talk) 12:15, 5 July 2013 (WEST)

Thanks for the update. I'll get cracking on stuff once everything's resolved. --Atlas (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2013 (WEST)

The pipe escape template

Mind if I ask why you deleted Template:! a few days ago? —Underyx (talk) 01:23, 6 July 2013 (WEST)

Re: Achievements on templates bugged

It's fixed now. It's a Wikimedia thing; bullet points require a new line break. I just wrapped the bullet points in paragraph tags (<p></p>). --Atlas (talk) 23:11, 6 July 2013 (WEST)

Current maps template

Hey, sorry for the absence, but I was really waiting for the thumbnail fix, as it enables my possibilities to contribute to the wiki (as I don't know a lot about the game to be honest, I'm more of a technical guy). Would you mind if I finally implemented User:Atlas/Template:Match_maps? I'm asking as you had a version already done, so I wouldn't want to tread on somebody else's ground here. --Atlas (talk) 17:24, 27 July 2013 (WEST)

Styling

Hey. I've created this proof-of-concept template today, but to implement it the way I really want to, I'd need some complex styling. Seeing that <style> tags inside mediawiki pages do not parse, and pseudo-selectors don't work in inline CSS, I'd need to add some lines to the master CSS file.

Speaking of that, there is a lot of inline CSS in our template. Which is fine, but inline styling irks me to no end. So again, adding styles to that master CSS would clean up a lot of our code.

I'm not asking for any kind of access whatsoever, but it'd be good if I could make some adjustments myself. Doing it by proxy is acceptable, but some work is simply trial-and-error, and doing that by proxy would take a lot of time. I haven't figured out a good way myself yet, but if you have an idea, let me know. —Atlas (talk) 11:44, 30 July 2013 (WEST)

FTP access should be enough, yes. Thanks a lot. And yeah, the way I thought about it, when you hover over the dots (later to be markers) the name of the area will pop up. —Atlas (talk) 15:45, 30 July 2013 (WEST)

Actually... FTP access won't be necessary. I'm dumb and didn't do my research, there's a page on the wiki that carries all custom CSS across all skins. Which is perfect for my uses. (I might need sysop permissions though. More detail here. If you don't want to give me sysop, you can just do this) —Atlas (talk) 15:47, 30 July 2013 (WEST)

For some reason, that page works now, and it didn't before - I couldn't edit it. That's weird, but good. I don't think I'll need FTP access. —Atlas (talk) 09:36, 31 July 2013 (WEST)

By the way, the template is now fully functional. Have a look at it and let me know what do you think. —Atlas (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2013 (WEST)

I'll address all the points one by one:

• I can make it work outside of the table, I can also make it uncollapsed by default/make a parameter that determines if it should be collapsed or uncollapsed. The only thing is, I think it takes too much space, so I think it should be collapsed by default.
• The image needs to be fixed-width (I'll specify why further). At the moment it's 800px wide. I can make the table 800px wide too if needed.
• All spots are parameter-based. You do not need any specific privileges. As of now, there's up to 15 locations supported. All you need to do to get a location is: 1) get a map image and upload it to the wiki, 2) set its width to 800px, 3) set up the markers in an image editing program (Photoshop) in the places you need, 4) get the X/Y pixel coordinates for the top right corner of every marker. The X/Y coordinates require the image to be of static size, not percentage-based, because if you change the image size, you change the coordinates. And making the coordinates upscale depending on resolution would probably be possible, but is overkill in my opinion.

It's a work-in-progress, so the format is pretty much up for discussion now, and I'm willing to make changes. —Atlas (talk) 13:15, 31 July 2013 (WEST)

I offer translate comp.tf to other languages.

Hello there, Kaneco. I added you as a friend on Steam, because I want to help the Competitive TF2 Wiki. I can translate it into Russian. Some times ago I was the best Russian contributor on the OTFW.

Contact me, if you think, that is a great idea to the community as well. It will be realle helpful, if Competitive TF2 Wiki will be translated into other languages ​​to help newbies from other countries, which can't speak English.

I am also willing to help as a ru-part moderator there, because I got time and the experience. — Sero_ru ^T│C 23:30, 15 August 2013 (PDT)
