Overlooking

I think I've been overlooked for being eligible for getting the Wiki Cap.

Demonstrate a strong desire to help improve and update the Wiki through useful edits and contributions. Participate in the community by contributing to discussion. We also have an IRC channel where you can get to know and become part of the regulars! Adhere to the policies and practices of the Official Team Fortress Wiki, including observing the style guide and the official policies. Have roughly 400 or more edits. If you are having trouble finding things to do, take a look at the tasks list, or ask in the IRC channel.

Note: It's incredibly easy to determine if individuals are spamming edits to artificially inflate their edit count. Edit spammers will jeopardize their chances of earning the hat.

Properly implement licenses on images, sounds, and any other kinds of uploads, media or otherwise. Have been around for approximately two months or more.

Okay, I've done the first one by contributing a hell lot. I've contributed to the IRC by talking. I've stood by the policies and practices by now removing useless trivia and such. I have 573 edits. I've put licenses properly on images I've uploaded. I've been around for at least six months now.

Why am I not eligible? Painted Vintage Merryweather 7E7E7E.pngFyahweather 05:16, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Since I think this would be too long for a talk page, I added you on Steam, poke me there — Wind 20:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

This user plays TF2 with a mouse

Well, good for you. I play TF2 with hands. Your hands. -- En Ex (talk) 05:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Uuh, what? We all use our hands. Some of us are just better than others. Dark Pyro 16:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

[ classified ] link from in-game

Are you able to make an exception on the item redirection script for the [ classified ]? I'll send it over to Robin, so that those that want to see the hat, aren't confronted with a Bad title page. Thanks. – Smashman (talk) 12:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

You'll notice that the script is broken for not just that one, but all the Shogun items etc. In short, they broke the cache or didn't refresh it, because my copy of the script still works for all items. I emailed Robin about it and got no answer — Wind 17:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

To change

Hi again Wind ^^

  • Change "Variantes pintadas" to "Variaciones de Colores" with the BOT script. Dio ★ (talk) 18:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Done~ ExampleWind 18:27, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Can you add this words in to the filter? Thanks Dio ★ (talk) 14:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
  • For the Articles:
    • Chetos - Trampas
    • Spys - Spies
  • For the Patchs:
    • Arreglado - Se han arreglado
    • Añadida - Se ha añadido
    • exploit - error provechoso
    • Spys - Spies
    • Overheal - Exceso de curación
Done, but I think I see a lot of words that correspond to the same type of error (cambiar, actualizar, etc., as well as the plural version of all those words). But I won't add them until you confirm that it's right~ Also, please give me an example "bad page" to work with next time :3 — Wind 16:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Yes, you are right. As BiBi said, it's better do it manually. Don't edit the others (trampas, spies...) Dio ★ (talk) 20:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Arrr, the exploit filter is grabbing ALL pages, not only spanish ones ;(
here its messing with Polish patch page: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=April_14%2C_2011_Patch%2Fpl&diff=500096&oldid=488058
me sad. - HINDUs 03:42, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Sorry about that :( That filter has been completely removed a few days after it was created though, so it probably didn't do too much damage. D: — Wind 03:43, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Stuff

From yesterday (or today?):

  • All class nav: {{All class nav/inner}} was made to suit to special needs. seb makes note – Huge success. The table (row 68) shows fairly significant drops in the post-expand size. When you get online we should test timings to see if it's an improvement.
    Ok the dramatic drops are really only visible in row 71. The real page example only uses the /inner template on the Scout layer, the others are unchanged. So it's likely the decreases visible in the row 68 stats are going to be even better when /inner is extended to all the classes ;D seb26 11:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Hit dis dawk. — Wind 16:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Test chamber intro vid: the ugly text edges is YouTube D: Screencap from VirtualDub of the original file. What do..?

seb26 11:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Not your fault, just don't worry about it and keep it the way it is. — Wind 16:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Template:W is broken

There is some weird Template:W going on. Could it be because of this edit? [1] --CruelCow (talk) 13:57, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Is already fixed, but won't be visible until the cache feels like refreshing. — Wind 16:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Custom width for Item Checklist

Why hello there, Windy one. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to update the Item Checklist template to include the ability to set a custom width (e.g 500px or 100%). It would be très bonne. MogDog66 User MogDog66 Service Metal No WhiteSpace.pngt c p || 04:58, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

kdun — Wind 02:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Wind, you are the best guy ever :3 MogDog66 User MogDog66 Service Metal No WhiteSpace.pngt c p || 02:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Speelun

Can you have WindBOT correct instances of "Kritzkreig" and "Natasha?" They've been on my to-do list for ages now. -Shine 02:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

The bot should already correct "Kritzkreig" (at least it's already in the filters; please tell me if you see a page with it on it and the bot didn't correct it), but "Natasha" is the correct translation of Natascha in Finnish (Natascha/fi = Natasha). Guess I'll add it to english-only filters — Wind 02:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
The comp Pyro page links to the misspelled Kritz and several English pages link to Natasha. -Shine 02:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
The competitive category is on the bot's blacklist so it won't touch them. As for the Natasha ones, there's only three so I'll fix them by hand — Wind 02:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Ooooh, kk. Danke. -Shine 02:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

CSS edits

Hey. How to make my CSS settings visible for all users? As on your page. For example, other users see broken text in header on my page. - Grand-O-Rand Painted Détective Noir 694D3A.png · (Talk) 10:09, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

You can't. The point of making user CSS is to customize how the site looks for you, not the rest of the users; otherwise, vandals could make the entire Wiki unreadable. What you can do, however, is put all of that CSS into style attributes. My page is a bit special in that it has special JavaScript and special CSS, but I'm not sure we're comfortable with giving that power to everyone yet — Wind 11:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Greetings!

You've been called the idk code guru or somthing crazy like that and I was just wondering how one would go and make a script or out right program that would post RRS feeds directly to steam groups. I am not totally computer illiterate but I lack the language knowledge to do anything of this sort (C and C++ is what I know). Thanks, Meter1060 01:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Most simple scripts like that are a good fit for [Python usually, which is what I used for the Steam forums bot and for this Wiki's bot as well. It has a nice tutorial. I can't really teach you how to do such a thing from start to finish, but I can give you the code for the module to post to the Steam forums if you want :3 This is different from posting to Steam groups obviously, since they are separate websites with a separate account system, but it should probably get you started~ — Wind 01:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Well it appears my simple engineering training is not helping :/ Thanks for the source and the tutorial its really informative but I won't be able to find the time. Thanks anyways. Cheers Meter1060 03:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!

As a fellow Canadian (Ontario, woot) and code-monkey (mainly SourcePawn code), I have to thank you for creating DamnVid. You have officially attained "God" status in my eyes, sir. 404 User Not Found 01:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Much obliged, pardner :3 — Wind 01:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Score!

I'm sorry if this is a bother, but I was told that you could generate a score for me like the ones on the Wiki Cap candidates page? I'm curious to see how poor they are. :U SilverHammer 02:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Here you go, though remember it's from last Sunday~ — Wind 05:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
How to view this information for another user.--User Kost 2.jpg  ( T|C) 07:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
I could have sworn I thanked you for this. Itm ust have been on IRC. :U Well, just to make sure you see it, I appreciate your sharing this information with me very much Wind. I'll try my best to not bother you for it every week. SilverHammer 07:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Promo Pages

Hello, hope this isn't too much of a bother but I'm curious as to why we can't add any details regarding cross-promotion games. Pages like Monday Night Combat(90% of them in fact) don't have anything more than 2 lines. I'm aware it says other sites have covered them in greater detail but shouldn't we at least colour it up a bit? I edited and gave a big workover on one of the page and was removed because of the said reason. Even if the games are unrelated to TF2, the items offered to players are. Half a page of explanation is a lot better than 2 lines. Yeokso 05:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

You already asked this on someone elses page. I don't think it was really needed twice. Half a page of explanation is not better than 2 lines, as the information is provided on the links on that page. (note, that is not my personal opinion, that is just how the pages are currently voted to work I guess. If you really want these pages to be changed, you can try to appeal for a change. I guess you should do this on the PNatI Talk Page as that is the first one you edited.) - 6vKcd.pngnixshadow t|c 05:50, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I would argue that it's not only unnecessary, but would actively cause problems for the wiki if these pages were created. Every single page on this wiki is directly related to Team Fortress. Why cause the confusion of adding in indirect pages when there is absolutely no benefit to doing so? -Subtlefuge 05:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
To be perfectly fair, the Poker Night page is directly related to TF2, in that it has achievements which unlock TF2 items. I recently added the Hat Trick achievement ino to the Alien Swarm page, and no one has reverted it. It wouldn't be outlandish to have the achievement info on the Poker Night page, it'd be consistent. I'm not exactly for such a long page based on another game, especially with how it wouldn't be consistent with every other promotional item page. The Poker Night page could handle the achievements I'd think. Poker Night is oe of the only third-party games to feature a TF2 character in full, along with Killing Floor. I'd imagine both of these facts are worth bringing up on their respective pages. I'm not voting for or against just yet, but consistency is important with these pages. It'd be awkward for the Poker Night page to be a long as some weapon articles while the Plants Vs. Zombies or Portal 2 page are so short...
Firstly, I apologize for bringing up this topic again, perhaps I was just trying too hard to revive my edited work since it took me a while to make it. And secondly, thanks for the explanation, I didn't realize fully that pages not only have to be entirely related to Team Fortress but consistent with other pages. Since it was on the wiki, I felt it was necessary to add some content, and oh boy.. I was wrong. Yeokso 07:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Whichever way this goes, I saw the page before it was reverted, Yeokso. You did a pretty good job building what you did from scratch. SilverHammer 06:07, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Y u no have page for wikichievements?

Looking though your userpage, your braglist doesnt have your various wikichievements listed. I cant find them anywhere on your userpage. Y U NO HAVE WIKICHIEVEMENTS? *trollface.jpg* --Stevoisiak 19:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello again

Hello, wind. This is ~www~ :). I think I have got some problem about Template:Dictionary.
A few days ago, I add the name for Lo-Fi longwave and Sprial Sallet.However, many hours later I found it still remains the English name, not Traditional Chinese.
I wonder why this happened, because I saw the Russian version have successfully added it.Do you know why I cannot add name at Template:Dictionary? Maybe I typed wrong at somewhere :p
Please let me know where I did wrong or the system went wrong. Thank you. ~www~ 09:23, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Nope, was my fault, all fixed now. Thanks~ — Wind 15:16, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
OK,Tks. BTW, the name in the Dictionary have to be changed manually? I don't know about that :o~www~ 09:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
What do you mean o_O — Wind 15:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

I mean, when a user types something inside Dic., will it automatically change the name of an item, or the Moderators (or Admins) have to check it and put the names on by themselves? ~www~ 13:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

The bot will automatically put it a few minutes later — Wind 16:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Ok, got it. ~www~ 09:10, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

item checklist

Hey wind, I noticed my item checklist has not been updating. I got some items a few days ago and they have not been put in yet. Do you know why? Thespy 22:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

It seems you have since changed your profile id (From zegovernor to live1053)
You would need to change your item checklist accordingly. Once that is done, don't expect it to re-update right away. - 6vKcd.pngnixshadow (t|c) 22:44, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Of course it will :3 We just got rid of the list because it caused way too much drama and confusion. It was only meant to be used by staff to help them vote, but turned into a competition and people obsessing over their points. — Wind 17:01, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
So there's no temporary break? -- zFn (Talk) 17:08, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
There might be, while we figure out how to distribute them in the future. Don't worry though, everyone who deserves one or has deserved one in the past will get one — Wind 17:10, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Is there still a candidates list but private, just for the staff ? -- zFn (Talk) 19:03, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Maybe there will be, maybe there won't >: We're still trying to figure out how to proceed. Why do you ask though? o: — Wind 21:01, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Just curious. Thanks for the info, hope i didn't ask uncomfortable questions. -- zFn (Talk) 21:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

{{lang date}} problem

Hiya Wind. The {{lang date}} is having some issues with the {{{force}}} / | force = en command (probably caused by the conversion from translation switching into dictionary), which makes translated main pages, as well as several other templates that use it, broken (note the patch links). Is there any way you could fix this?  –  Duel RED.png Epic Eric Duel BLU.png (T | C) 15:13, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Detective Noire in Item checklists

I brought this to the attention of Swarfega, and he said I should pass this on to you. Currently in Windbots item checklists the detective noire is not recognised.

No words for SummerCamp Stuff in Dictionary?

Hi, I just noticed that you guys didn't put the "English words" for Summer camp sale stuff (such as hats, misc) in the dictionary, so there will be no other language version to be displayed.

Was there any reason to do so ??

~www~ 18:44, 4 July 2011 (PDT)

I'm not sure I understand D: Which words, and on which page exactly? — Wind 18:45, 4 July 2011 (PDT)
Almost all of them (items' name), except Summer Hat, Summer Shades. For example, Here's a page from Russian version, and you can see their template ({{Summer camp update nav}}) still has a lot of words which remains English, because there's no place to type in the dictionary.I hope I describe the situation clearly : ) ~www~ 19:43, 4 July 2011 (PDT)
No, they're all there in the {{Dictionary/items}} dictionary, they are simply missing translations. Just add them~ — Wind 19:56, 4 July 2011 (PDT)

Still Did not found them : ( And if I want to create one, the bot deleted it. ~www~ 22:33, 4 July 2011 (PDT)

It deleted it because it was already in the page, so it deletes the duplicate one. Go to the full edit page and Ctrl+F the item you want, they should all be there. Make sure you search with case sensitivity off, and you should be able to find it:
 stately steel toe:

Got some more deletions for ya! 1, 2, 3 (Pilk did add me so I could use the "Page.css" thing like he's got on his "armory" subpage, but it didn't work properly for me), 4, 5, 6, 7. Thanks again! 404 User Not Found 16:35, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Deleted, but I can make the 3rd one work if you'd like — Wind 16:38, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Nah, it's alright. I've got a version of my userpage in Preview mode right now, and it's looking basically how I wanted it to look, using the custom CSS, but without the CSS. Essentially, the Page.css isn't needed. As well, you've probably noticed I've created my own sub-page templates, with code ripped from the Item Checklist template. User:404_User_Not_Found/Item_checklist/inline, User:404_User_Not_Found/Item_checklist/box, User:404_User_Not_Found/Item_checklist/item. Well I just copied the coding for Item Checklist itself, and previewed some color changes I made (for example changing all the "background-color:" things to "#5B4D40"), and I noticed the class tabs at the top hadn't changed color because they're in a separate template...
...Is there not an easier way to create my own custom Item Checklist that can/will be updated by WindBOT, but that uses a color scheme (with the shadow effects and rounded corners and such) similar to my userpage? 404 User Not Found 17:08, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
EDIT: Forgot to mention; As for the adding of new items to the checklist, I'll be handling that myself, via taking the code from Item Checklist itself and pasting it into my custom checklist. 404 User Not Found 17:10, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
That's the thing, no it's not easier to add custom stylesheets based on template usage. — Wind 17:54, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Well, here's what I've got so far. Whaddya think so far? Edited to match my userpage's color scheme. I figure I'm gonna have to create a subpage version of the Class Tabs (and "Tabs") templates in order to recolor them. I think I'll save that for tomorrow. 404 User Not Found 17:57, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
I'd really suggest to make that part of your userpage CSS instead >: Are you sure you don't want me to enable that? — Wind 20:38, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Loool. Fine :P Set me up with the CSS stuff, and if you could, show me how to use the CSS to change how the checklist looks :P 404 User Not Found 20:41, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Done~ — Wind 20:46, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Alrighty, so what would I have to do to change the item checklist style? Also, you can go ahead and delete those Item Checklist subpages in my userspace :P 404 User Not Found 20:51, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
Just edit User:404 User Not Found/Page.cssWind 21:49, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
On second thought, what you may want to do is to keep using the custom item checklist that you already have, and then use CSS to style the tabbed box around it only. That way all that effort doesn't go to waste... Tell me if you want me to restore all those Item checklist subpages — Wind 21:51, 13 July 2011
I hadn't even notice that you deleted them, because my checklist looks the same xD. Might as well restore them and I'll try to kejigger the CSS to make it work. 404 User Not Found 22:47, 13 July 2011 (PDT)
So upon checking out Template:Tabs, I saw it uses some div classes, which are located in MediaWiki:Common.css. Let's say I want to change ".poot-tabs-title" (only on my userpage, of course). The change, for example, would be changing "background:#f3a957;" to "background:#FF0000;". How would I go about accomplishing this in my Page.css? Would I just copy the entire ".poot-tabs-title" into my Page.css, then make the necessary changes to it? I assume that the .poot-tabs-title in my Page.css might override the same class in Common.css, but I'm not sure. 404 User Not Found 12:27, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
Just
 .poot-tabs-title
 {
     background:#FF0000;
 }

In my Page.css? My god it's so easy! Thanks again Wind, and sorry for spamming your talk page up so much :C Feel free to remove this whole conversation if you want. 404 User Not Found 12:44, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
Sorry to bug you again, but if you could set up User:404_User_Not_Found/Sandbox/Page.css, that'd be great. I'm gonna copy the CSS from User:Pilk/armory/Page.css, put that into my Sandbox's CSS and toy around with his neat new infobox thing to see what I can come up with. 404 User Not Found 14:50, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
Instead of that, let me point you to the Stylish extension for Firefox that'll allow you do do exactly that but without all the edit spam that goes with it~ — Wind 15:50, 14 July 2011 (PDT)


Lol, yeah, I know, I'm spammy. I'm racking my brains as we speak, trying to think of an easy way to host my own Wiki free-of-charge, which would use all the CSS, JS, what-have-you that this Wiki uses, but would be built just for testing code and templates and such. And I've used Stylish before. Not a big fan.
Onto the Sandbox CSS. I know edit spam, from me, is pretty bad right now and I apologize. I'm gonna take a break on the editing for awhile, go outside, have a smoke or two, read a magazine I bought and listen to the radio. But I assure you if you add the CSS functions to my Sandbox, there will be little-to-no edit spam. When it comes to my sandbox, I preview everything over and over until I get it right.
All I'll have to do is make 1 edit to the Sandbox/Page.css page, which is to add the CSS from User:Pilk/armory/css. Once that's done, no edit spam. I'll be free to make changes to the template and "Show Preview" it over and over without having to save. Trust me. 404 User Not Found 16:11, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
The thing is that you can't preview CSS edits, because your page won't show up with the edited version before it's submitted. Hence the need for Stylish so that you can apply extra CSS without editing or even reloading the page. Not sure why you hate it so much >: I don't mean to use it to install custom skins, I mean to use it in order to edit the CSS live without the Page.css stuff — Wind 16:48, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
No no no no, lol. Try to follow me here. You add User:404 User Not Found/Sandbox so I can take the CSS from User:Pilk/armory/Page.css and paste it onto User:404 User Not Found/Sandbox/Page.css. (That's one edit and only one edit right there.)
Now here's where I think I confused you. Once I've got the CSS added to my Sandbox, I can then copy the code for the new infobox Pilk is working on here, paste it onto my Sandbox and make edits to it, all the while using "Show Preview" to see what my edits look like, thus preventing me from spamming the Recent Changes with numerous edits to User:404 User Not Found/Sandbox.
As I said above, when I work from my Sandbox, I preview things constantly, and never actually save anything until I'm 100% finished. Half the time, if I have to restart my computer due to Windows Updates, I copy the unsaved contents of my Sandbox into a TXT file so I can re-paste them back into my Sandbox and continue the Preview process. 404 User Not Found 17:24, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
I still don't think that's the best route, but all right~ — Wind 17:26, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
Thanks again Wind :D Oh, and my userpage is pretty much finished. I don't really think I could add anymore to it. I'm one of those minimalists you've probably read about :P I like things neat, tidy and organized. By the by, care to elaborate more on that bodyContent thing? Got an example bit-of-CSS lying around that you could toss my way? 404 User Not Found 17:45, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
i mean something like dis so that the styles don't bleed out of the page itself and into the sidebar and stuff — Wind 17:48, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

User Page Effects

Hey WindPower. I was just wondering how to create those cool effects you have for those icons right above your picture. The ones that are faded and become more defined when you mouse over them. I want to do that for the icons at the top of my user page. Could you show me how to do this (unless this is your trade secret. :D) Hojung1996 17:11, 16 July 2011 (PDT)

This is done using a mix of User:WindPower/Page.js custom JavaScript and custom CSS. If you can show that you're skilled with CSS, I can add custom CSS to your userpage as well, but I can't do the same for JavaScript, because that would effectively let you run arbitrary code in the browser of whoever visits your page, which could then be used to steal their cookie and account, etc. Not that I don't trust you, but the .js page would have to be unprotected in order to let you edit it, which would then make anyone be able to edit it (just like your user page). Thus, no custom JavaScript for regular users, sorry :( The bad news is that smooth-fading effects are only possible in JavaScript. The good news is that you can still do fading effect with only CSS, just not animated ones (as in, the element will be half-faded, then will be fully opaque on the next frame; no smooth transition between the two states). If you're still interested and know your way around in CSS, then just let me know~ — Wind 17:18, 16 July 2011 (PDT)
oh ok. I don't know what CSS is. I'll just keep my page the way it is. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hojung1996 (talk) • (contribs)

WindBOT dictionary creation

Yeah, I had forgotten to put in the colon after "dr. grordbort's crest", and WindBOT removed that line. So I've re-added it, but it seems WindBOT forgot to create Template:Dictionary/items/dr._grordbort's_crest. Whip your bot harder! :P 404 User Not Found 20:10, 20 July 2011 (PDT)

Just give it some time — Wind 20:12, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
Also, just a quick bug report. WindBOT seems to have stopped updating my item checklist ever since I edited User:WindBOT/Item_checklists/404_User_Not_Found and changed the template from "Item checklist" to "User:404 User Not Found/Item checklist". :( 404 User Not Found 21:28, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
Yah it looks for Item checklist and will probably ignore anything else seb26 21:29, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
Fix it! 404 User Not Found 21:29, 20 July 2011 (PDT)

User talk:Restline

I would really appreciate if you give me a permission to delete/clean up my talk page, if you care there is no useful or important information, hope you wouldn't mind about a reson for that, thank you.

More stuff to be deleted

Check out the deletion category when you got some time. I found some old subpages I don't need, talkpages of now-deleted pages/images, and one Sourcemod plugin article that's like Parkour Fortress; not notable. 404 User Not Found 02:19, 24 July 2011 (PDT)

I noticed in your Page.css...

...That you're using "-o-border-radius". Thought I'd let you know that the "-o-" prefix in CSS, which of course is for Opera, doesn't actually do anything.

I'm currently writing up a CSS Notes subpage in my userspace, and I happened to Google something pertaining to the "-ms-" prefix for Internet Explorer, and I found this thread on the dev.opera.com forums.

Quote: Opera doesn't support vender specific prefix (-o) for border-radius.
Quote 2: The reason you see -o-border-radius in a lot of stylesheets is not because developers thought it was supported, or think it's in legacy Opera versions - it's a future-proofing measure (from back before Opera added any kind of border-radius support). If you're using vendor-prefixes (which the W3C actually recommend not to, but who listens to them), you can include prefixes for all browsers that DON'T support it, just in case they add support.

So yeah, just thought I'd show you this little bit of info. Basically, what I'm getting at is you can remove any bits of code in your Page.css that are prefixed with "-o-", it won't hurt anything. 404 User Not Found 13:19, 26 July 2011 (PDT)
