== Displaying Comics ==
 
 
For the home page, I think the comic and explanation should be displayed instead of a link to the comic.
 
 
For reasons unknown to me, I decided to create [[Template:Comicbox]] and [[Template:Comicbox2]]. Looks nice, as long as you use the correct one for the comic.
 
 
Go to [[User:Grep/comicbox]] and [[User:Grep/comicbox2]] for examples. --[[User:Grep|Grep]] ([[User talk:Grep|talk]]) 21:03, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
 
:Those're wonderful!  And should probably be on the main page.  If you wanted, we could probably incorporate them (and maybe a third?) into a single template with a "square/vertical or horizontal" switch. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 21:36, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

:::Good point. Removed. And merging them sounds wonderful. --[[User:Grep|Grep]] ([[User talk:Grep|talk]]) 21:47, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
 
::::Maybe merging them into [[Template:comicbox]]? --[[User:Grep|Grep]] ([[User talk:Grep|talk]]) 21:49, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
 
:::::I think classes are defined at [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], so if you really wanted to define the class....  And [[Template:Comicbox]] would probably be best.  Did you want to merge them or should I take a look at it? --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 22:25, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

:::::::Okay, I've moved your templates to {{tl|Comicbox square or vertical}} and {{tl|Comicbox horizontal}} so I can work on {{tl|Comicbox}} as the main one.  It may take a while - I like to think of myself as a "[[wikipedia:Category:User template coder|master of all known wikimarkup]]," but I don't actually use those skills that often. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 23:08, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
 
::::::::Thanks. --[[User:Grep|Grep]] ([[User talk:Grep|talk]]) 23:42, 2 August 2012 (EDT)
 
:::::::::I've made it at {{tl|Comicbox}}.  This actually leaves {{tl|Comicbox square or vertical}} and {{tl|Comicbox horizontal}} unused, though I credited you (and them) in a comment at the top of the template.  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 00:21, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

{{outdent}} Sure.  But right now they both look like they're on the bottom?  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 20:02, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
 
===Sans-serif typeface===

:::::::::We should be able to change that wiki-wide through [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], I think.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough CSS to do it. --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 00:23, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
 
:::::::::: I believe sans serif is already the default wiki-wide. Those specific instances were deliberately coded to use a serif font. It's just a matter of removing <code>font-family: 'Times New Roman';</code> from the template. --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 17:01, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Revision as of 04:34, 4 August 2012

This is Jeff's talk page. Please check Explain XKCD:Community portal to see if your comment would be more appropriate there.

Bugging you again....

Could you take a look at [1] and tell me if I'm thinking in about the same way as you are here? Also, I've brought up MediaWiki:Tagline and Explain XKCD:Community portal, as it'd be cool to have a tagline. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 10:46, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

With you 100% on the File Delete reasons. Thanks. I agree also about having a tagline. What do you think it should be? --Jeff (talk) 11:13, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
Nothing's coming to mind right now. Perhaps someone else will think of something. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 17:54, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

Automatic Import

Moved to Explain XKCD:Community portal/Proposals#Automatic Import. (Header left to avoid breaking links.) --Philosopher Let us reason together. 00:30, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Gadgets?

Can we enable MediaWikiWiki:Extension:Gadgets? I'd really like to bring over wikipedia:Wikipedia:Popups and wikipedia:Wikipedia:HotCat as gadgets. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 22:45, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

sounds good. I'll do it later this weekend when I get back to my computer to get to the FTP access. --Jeff (talk) 00:31, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
That'd be great! While you're at it, MediaWikiWiki:Extension:Inputbox is something we may want for the future, though we don't need it now. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:29, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

comic header

Jeff, further to your previous conversation on the comic header, I've significantly rewritten Yirba's template (thanks to Yirba for the hard work. His navigation bar was very useful) and I've created a new template of {{comic}}. An example of the comic in use can be seen at T-shirts. I started a discussion on the main page discussion board, but I thought if I pointed it out to you and you like it, it can start going in the rotation for new comics.

I actually now see that Grep did a template up with intent (I think) to use for the main page. Had I known that when I started, I would have probably based my template off of his, because it looks nice, but either way, mine is intended for the actual articles.

Again, may I link to my request for feedback? --SlashMe (talk) 15:52, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
