GitHub

Hey, I was just revisiting the place and see the splash page, Refreshed skin, and quite a few other things have come a long way since I last saw. Looks great! I had previously had my first splash page hosted on my personal GitHub, and since I can see you've put a lot of work into it I went ahead and updated the Git repository for it to reflect the newest revisions. I also went ahead and took it off of my personal GitHub and made a BIONICLEsector01 organization, https://github.com/BIONICLEsector01, which I believe I sent you an invite to so you can contribute to that. I also made an update script to keep the Git in sync with the production server, which can be run from SSH by simply running ~/update.sh (from Swert's SSH account, I don't know if you might have a separate SSH account on this server, if so let me know and I'll fix that). Hopefully using Git will be a convenience and a "safety" feature, so none of your work gets irreversibly broken or lost because of server issues (*cough* HS01). If there's any questions or you need anything related to the GitHub account let me know. I'll probably set you to have full access to everything on it once you join the organization, that way you can mess with it on your own and have full control. Keep up the good work though, loving what you've done with the stuff here. :) --Meiko (talk) 01:24, 14 August 2017 (CET)

Hey what's up, it's been a while! Thanks for setting this all up, I just joined. I use Swert's SSH account, yep. Glad you like it! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 02:21, 14 August 2017 (CET)

Era... again

So, the original Era template had an icon for non-canon and semi canon media, but the neither of the separated G1-G2 Eras have these. They're just floating on the left corner under the title on the pages, which sometimes a bit irritating (for me), can't you just fix it somehow? Such as merging with the separated categories or adding the NC-SC for both, or I don't really know. — SurelNuva (Talk) 08:43, 21 August 2017 (CET)

Replace those with Template:NCSC. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 18:00, 21 August 2017 (CET)

Videos

The <videoflash> doesn't work. — SurelNuva (Talk) 22:21, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

It's being phased out in favor of EmbedVideo. A cheap way to use it now is like so:

<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[VIDEO ID]</youtube>

Perhaps that's the next step is to fix that? :P Also, to adjust videos, see here --External Image Owner (talk|contribs)
I've just noticed that the <videoflash> doesn't work when I edited the BIONICLE Battle Videos page. How about the video's size? I've tried to change the videoflash to youtube, but the result is too large, I don't want to save it, please try it. — SurelNuva (Talk) 22:57, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

User:Meiko removed VideoFlash as it is very out of date. Swert's method works, but I think the format mentioned here allows more customization:

{{#evt:
service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
|dimensions=350
}}

Gives you this:

... Why, Morris? ;_; --External Image Owner (talk|contribs)

mah-TOW - mah-TAOW

Doesn't the same rule what you said go to the "Hau," "Komau," and the other pronunciations ending with "OW" in the BEU? WE could change it like how it's in the Garai's page and include the BEU page number. But I think the old pronunciations may came from the Official Guide. I'll buy the Hungarian edition, but it won't match with the English one. The pronunciations are the same, but how they're written is not. — SurelNuva (Talk) 15:06, 29 August 2017 (CET)

Only for ones like TOW, ROW, or MOW where the "ow" sound in those words actually makes the OH sound rather than the desired OW sound. HOW is fine since the word "how" is pronounced like "hau," as desired. Citations work, sure. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:18, 30 August 2017 (CET)

log out timer... again

in reference to the section that was archived... it's still happening a few weeks later. i'm getting logged out after some time on the site for no immediately apparent reason. Intelligence4 (talk) 20:32, 29 August 2017 (CET)

Huh. I'll bring this up with other staff, but I'm afraid I don't know what the cause is or what the solution would be (and I doubt I'll have time to look into it in the near future). -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 21:18, 30 August 2017 (CET)

Uploads... no uploads.

After spending an embarrassingly long time looking for the upload button that I knew was there before, I realized that uploads were restricted so the button has disappeared. Do you know why, and more importantly when they will be working again?--Harsulin's Ghost (talk) 01:16, 1 September 2017 (CET)
