Sanfam contact thread

I posted a question over at tgm. I only left this here as it is likely that it'll trigger an email. --Steelviper 16:09, 19 May 2007 (CDT)

Pipe sign

You don't need to do <nowiki>|</nowiki>, {{!}} does the trick. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 14:29, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

Ah... Forgot about that. Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 14:30, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

Lushina.com

An online friend of mine started a link directory at Lushina.com. Submission is free, so maybe Battlestar and Sanctuary Wiki can go there? --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 07:54, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Worth a try. Thanks! :-) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 09:33, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
Interesting site but do people still use link directories any more? --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 11:43, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
No idea. Can't hurt, though. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 13:37, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
With Google around, not really. However, as Catrope said, it doesn't hurt to get listed. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 20:58, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Polish Wiki

Hello, I'm interested in set up the Polish version of BSG Wiki. Translating first article and gathering the crew is in progress. :) But I have several questions to you. 1. How it is with links in articles, that is being translating? For example if I have a link to "Water" episode, do I should change it to link to the "Water/pl: Woda", even if that article isn't existing yet? 2. Spoilers. I don't really know, how to solve this issue. To be honest, no BSG episode has been aired in Polish TV yet. We have been watching it in foreing channels. So how should I treat the spoilers? What informations are spoiler informations? All? None? This is all for now. Hope my Engilsh is good enough to be understood by you. :) --Glizda 04:22, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

I can help with this.... right now in order to have the basic "things" (plus here) need for your own wiki to function. We can take the "pl" files here on the and important them into the pl namespace... pl.battlestarwiki.org. They way you would link a pl.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Woda with en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Water is add [[en:Water]] to the bottom of the "Woda" page as explained in the BW:SAC and BW:INTER. Then the interwiki bot maintains the links on all the wikis so everything is cross-referenced. Spoiler information is then BASED off the English wiki if it doesn't "Air" per say in Poland. Any questions? Hope this helps. Shane (T - C - E) 05:50, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
Thank you for these informations. But, if you don't mind, I have one more question. If I want to create Polish article about "Water" episode I should name this article "Water/pl: Woda", yes? And when Polish Wiki will be created this article appear there automatically and it will be named "Woda"? Correct me, if I've understood wrong. --Glizda 10:50, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
Correct. For now do it here on the sub-page and I will move it later on the Polish wiki and we will rename it to just "Woda". Shane (T - C - E) 18:02, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

Nested collapsible tables fix

Nested collapsible tables don't seem to work very well (example). I've written a fix which makes nested coll. tables possible at User:Catrope/bsgbook.js. To implement this site-wide, you need to find the collapseTable() function (it's somewhere in a .js file, although I have no idea where exactly) and replace: 

 function collapseTable( tableIndex )
 {
     var Button = document.getElementById( "collapseButton" + tableIndex );
     var Table = document.getElementById( "collapsibleTable" + tableIndex );
 
     if ( !Table || !Button ) {
         return false;
     }
 
     var Rows = Table.getElementsByTagName( "tr" ); 
 
     if ( Button.firstChild.data == collapseCaption ) {
         for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) {
             Rows[i].style.display = "none";
         }
         Button.firstChild.data = expandCaption;
     } else {
         for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) {
             Rows[i].style.display = Rows[0].style.display;
         }
         Button.firstChild.data = collapseCaption;
     }
 }

with: 

 function collapseTable( tableIndex )
 {
     var Button = document.getElementById( "collapseButton" + tableIndex );
     var Table = document.getElementById( "collapsibleTable" + tableIndex );
 
     if ( !Table || !Button ) {
         return false;
     }
 
     var Rows = Table.getElementsByTagName( "tr" ); 
 
     if ( Button.firstChild.data == collapseCaption ) {
         for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) {
             if(Rows[i].parentNode.parentNode.id == ("collapsibleTable" + tableIndex))
             {
                 Rows[i].style.display = "none";
             }
         }
         Button.firstChild.data = expandCaption;
     } else {
         for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) {
             if(Rows[i].parentNode.parentNode.id == ("collapsibleTable" + tableIndex))
             {
                 Rows[i].style.display = Rows[0].style.display;
             }
         }
         Button.firstChild.data = collapseCaption;
     }
 }

If you think this code may break anything, add 

import_external('User:Catrope/bsgbook.js');

to User:Joe Beaudoin Jr./bsgbook.js and try it out. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 11:15, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

Cool, I'll get it implemented sometime later tonight, after I get off work. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 11:20, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
When you've done that, would you please delete User:Catrope/bsgbook.js? TIA --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 12:34, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
Apparently someone beat me to deleting your bsgbook.js. Anyway, the file in question is "common.js", and the site-wide one can be found at MediaWiki:common.js. (As one would anticipate, it is protected.) I did update it, but there seems to be an issue with it, at least on my end... See the talk page of the Think Tank in question. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 23:46, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, Spence deleted my page before you got the chance. I think your problem is that you have to do a hard refresh on the talk page: Shift+Reload button in Firefox 2.0. I did that and it works for me now. BTW, I also informed the official maintainer of the collapsible tables JS of my fix (coincidentally, he's Dutch too), and he said he'd verify it and merge it into the main branch when he gets back from his vacation. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 02:35, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
