Why does the wiki have the same format as Wikipedia, resulting in the layout being so messed up that my userpage history takes me directly to my userpage, my CSS is completely useless, and I can't undo edits without rollback?

== ArticleIcons CSS edit request ==

I'm working on a rewrite of [[Template:ArticleIcons]] as a list instead of a table, at [[User:Rigel Kent/ArticleIcons draft]]. Since it's transcluded on so many pages, some skin-specific CSS should save some bandwidth, while improving display in Vector and Minerva. Would this be okay?

::I left a message at [[Template talk:ArticleIcons#List instead of table for performance]]. I got some feedback about simplicity, but no mention of technical problems. One catch, though: if I make the template edit without the CSS edits, the display will look very strange. Even if I put in temporary inline styles, that'll only work for one skin. It might be better if you copy [[User:Rigel Kent/ArticleIcons draft]] to [[Template:ArticleIcons]] at the same time as the skin-specific CSS edits.

Hi there, Omega Tyrant told me you're the one who handles the hosting of SmashWiki. Can you tell me how much it is per month? I need a point of reference for a wiki I'm looking to self-host.

:It depends on what you want. I assume you would want to rent a host server rather than purchase one, and that can cost anywhere from $10 to $200/mo depending on what you need, [https://www.1and1.com/server-dedicated-tariff here's a decent point of reference]. The domain is separate from that, and [https://www.1and1.com/domain-names#your-domain here is the information on that].

== New namespaces ==

The community wants [[Forum:Competitive namespace reorganization|new namespaces]] to put crews and tournaments in. Please do the following:
*Create a '''Tournament:''' namespace, with the same properties as the current Smasher: namespace. (I'm assuming we get corresponding talk namespaces for "free".)
*Create a '''Team:''' namespace, with the same properties as the current Smasher: namespace.
*Give the Team: namespace an extra name of '''Crew:''' (as Image: is to File:).
*Use [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MoveBatch.php moveBatch.php] to seed the namespaces with the correct pages (keeping redirects). Once you're ready to do this I will give you the two listfiles over Discord. Assign [[User:eXemplary Logic]] as the user (if necessary) and use something like "seeding new namespace" for the reason.
**I'm not sure if this will move talk pages correspondingly (the reference page I linked to says nothing of it). If it doesn't, I can make a listfile or two to move them as well.

== $wgSVGMetadataCutoff ==

[[:File:Flag of Ecuador.svg]] looks to have a problem, and [https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T3278 my research] suggests that raising [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSVGMetadataCutoff $wgSVGMetadataCutoff] should fix it. The default value is 256kB, the flag in question is 273kB, and it's one of the most complicated flags by a long shot, so I'd hope it doesn't need to be raised too much.

Related enough to not bother with a new section: What's going on with [[:Category:Pages with broken file links]]? I converted [[:Template:Flag]] to use .svg instead of .png, and everything's worked fine. But these few pages still appear in the category even though they look fine, they're not listed in the category on the pages themselves, and a null edit doesn't change anything. And it's been two days so any daily maintenance scripts should have fixed the issue.

:MediaWiki only checks if that category needs to be added or removed when a link is added or removed from the page. You definitely found a scenario where it shows that their implementation of this is flawed (updating the template then creating the redirects). When this happens, adding/removing/modifying a link on the page or template then reverting should clear it up. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 08:50, 22 February 2019 (EST)

== Question about using the tabber on other wikis ==

Are you planning on installin the tabber system on your other wikis, (such as Halo or Mario), or are you only going to have the tabber on this one?

Is this even the correct use of a talk page? If I’m not allowed to mention your other wikis here, I’ll remove this promptly [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 23:23, 2 March 2019 (EST)
:KHWiki has the same system used here and makes heavy use of it. Halo/Destiny have a slightly different system, as seen [https://www.halopedia.org/CQB-class_Mjolnir here] for example. Mario I would add it if there is a need/consensus (proposal) for it. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 23:30, 2 March 2019 (EST) Pikipedia has a different but similar system [https://www.pikminwiki.com/Tropical_Wilds as well].

== 3DS stage inages appear to be incompatible with tabber ==

I don’t k ow if I made a typo of any sort, but when trying to place 3DS stages in a tabber (such as [[Pictochat 2]], the 3DS image doesn’t ppear to load. I directly copied the file over, so I’m wondering if they’re incompatible wih the tabber. [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 22:23, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

== A possible issue with [[Template:Infobox Character General]] ==

Whenever I edited it to update it or add in missing info, the edits would not show up. For example, on the [[Mii]] page, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Mii&diff=1229694&oldid=1228350 I tried to add in the mii universe] to the universe section. It didn’t show up when I saved the page, even though the code still says Mii instead of Super Smash Bros. Same thing with [[Pokémon Trainer]]. When [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Mii&diff=1229694&oldid=1228350 I added in that only the male trainer was in Brawl], it also didn’t show up. Is there something else on the template I’m missing? [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 18:44, June 6, 2019 (EDT)
:It only uses the "universe" parameter as a fallback. The first thing it does is check the "name" parameter against [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Character/universe&action=edit this switch statement]. Since "Mii" is listed there, that's what it uses. Similar deal with Smash appearances: There is a switch statement in [[Template:Infobox Character General]] that determines the appearances based on "name" and only uses the "games" parameter as a fallback. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 18:57, June 6, 2019 (EDT)
::The Mii thing makes sense now. I’ll just leave it up to discussion now. However, for the Smash appearances thing, I can’t find Alph or the Koopalings on there.

==The navigation box and a redirect==
Currently, [[List of Super Smash Bros. series characters]] is being discussed to be moved to [[Fighter]]. While it does seem like a nearly unanimous decision to move, I’m hesitant on calling it a consensus yet, mostly because of the navigation box on the top left corner of the website, no matter what page you’re on. Currently, it links over to the page we’re discussing moving, and moving that page would cause a redirect. Is there a template that can change that, or is it hard coded into the website? [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 15:07, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

== CSS help ==

Hey Porple, I'm not that experienced with css so I was wondering: You know how in recent changes and page histories staff users have different colors for their username links (green for admins, yellow for bcrats, etc.), and for my css I was wanting to add colors to usernames of users who have rollback (specifically #1f72ba for <font color=#1f72ba>OmegaToad64</font>).

I got it to work before to a minor extent (only on the top of the recent changes page but not anywhere else) but it doesn't show up anymore. Do you happen to know how I can make username colors in my personal css? You can just put the code here and I'll add it myself if posdible, thanks in advance [[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] <span style="font-family: Algerian">'''[[User:OmegaToad64|<font color="green">Omegα</font>]][[User talk:OmegaToad64|<font color="red">Toαd</font><font color="blue">64</font>]]'''</span> 21:40, February 22, 2020 (EST)

== Why hidden categories? ==

I'm wondering what the purpose is to converting most/all of the "wiki meta" categories to be "hidden".

Also the indirection you created from "Pages with broken file links" to "Articles with broken file links" means [[Template:MaintenanceLinks]] no longer reports the right number (now it only counts its one sub-category). [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Sphere 10:52, March 21, 2020 (EDT)
:Well, I wanted to have a way to distinguish between normal "content" categories and categories about the article itself and what it needs, so that the latter group doesn't get lost within the main group. I decided to use MediaWiki's built-in hidden categories feature, but alter it from the default behavior a bit. By default, hidden categorizes are hidden to everyone, and you have to go into your preferences to show them. I didn't like that users had to dig into their preferences to see them, so I made them hidden only to anonymous users and shown to logged-in users by default. I changed the name from Hidden categories to Meta categories since they're not super hidden if all users see them. The reason I kept them hidden to anons is the idea that 99% of anon users are just readers and not showing categories about the article itself sort of "cleans up" the categories for them and removes extra info mostly geared towards editors (another reason I kept some hiding function was so that the HIDDENCAT magic word still made some sense in how we're using it). Now, we have a lot of flexibility here. We could show the meta categories to anons as well so the only benefit is separating them out, or put it back to how it was. And I fixed the maintenance count :) --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 12:47, March 21, 2020 (EDT)

== Are anonymous users not allowed to remove section headers? ==

However, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Young_Link_(SSBU)&curid=83069&diff=1427113&oldid=1427057 I was unable to remove the header], and had to turn it into a subsection instead. What I find odd is that [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Young_Link_(SSBU)&diff=1384207&oldid=1382914 I was able to remove it before] when I wrongly thought the consensus was reached, so I’m wondering if something changed recently to not allowed anonymous users to remove section headers.

== RfA Protection ==

Since you protected the [[SW:RFA]] page so that only autoconfirmed users can make RfAs, should SmashWiki policy be updated so that only autoconfirmed users can make RfAs since the autoconfirmed users page states that non-autoconfirmed users can technically make them?

== About night mode... ==

To begin, I wasn't necessarily bothered by that "glitch" (or perhaps it was a test?) with the pages showing up with white-on-black CSS. I think night mode's value goes beyond aesthetics; it's easier on the eyes in low-light situations. So I was wondering, would you ever consider actually implementing it as an option for users to toggle in their preferences? I wanted to see your thoughts; I don't know much about CSS, so assuming it's not more work than it's worth, I think it would be a nice touch. <font face="Trebuchet MS">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 20:45, November 2, 2021 (EDT)

-== Template optimization ==
-I've been working on one of the trophy templates to expand its functionality and I noticed that one method (with no nested if-statements) has a higher "preprocessor visited node count" but significantly lower "post-expand include size" compared to another method (with nested if-statements). When used 58 times: preproc: 14,648 (current) vs 16,618 (method 1) vs 16,150 (method 2); post-expand: 280,460 (current) vs 306,023 (method 1) vs 382,466 (method 2)). My question is: should I prioritize reducing one value more than the other? Or any of the other values in the profiling data? Between the two, the "CPU time usage" deviates within 0.08 seconds and the resulting HTML difference is less than 100 bytes. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 08:13, September 8, 2022 (EDT)
-:I would say that reducing CPU time usage is ultimately best, but that value will vary a certain percentage on every parse. In this case the difference seems insignificant, so I would just go with whichever syntax you like better. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage#top|talk]]) 11:19, September 8, 2022 (EDT)
