User talk:Ladybirdintheuk/Wikiproject - wikification (draft)

I added a bit to the start.. opinion?

Also the how to add articles to the list section says to add the wikify tag to the article. Well would it not be better to tell people to add wikify-date? or to modify the Wikify template to do the date thing automatically? --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 14:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm adding that last bit to the category page because it seems to make sense! --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 14:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok my idea was to use an auto table template. so the code looks like:

And displays this:

So the user adding their name only needs to use a template thingy with 2 parameters - no need for table knowledge :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 13:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * PS I created a sub page to this one to act as the template: here I hope that was ok --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 13:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ta for the colours - I knew how to do it, but couldn't remember! I've been playing with the template, and can't figure out how it works, but I'm being an idiot today!  If we can put some instructions up so that it's obvious (at least to those who bother to read the instructions) then that would be good :) -Ladybirdintheuk 13:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * LOL no probs. Ill put up some form of instruction then - but if you dont like the idea then get rid of it - I am just playing with ideas :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 13:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks good to me - thanks for your help :) . Hopefuly we can get some of them from other timezones to have a look and give us their comments too in the next day or so! -Ladybirdintheuk 13:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just out of interest, where is it getting the instruction to make the differente statuses different colours? I want to make sure I understand how it all works so I don't break anything! -Ladybirdintheuk 14:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you go to the sub page User:Ladybirdintheuk/Wikiproject_-_wikification_(draft)/user_table and look at the code you will see . This is a switch that looks at the second parameter in the template code (eg: the status) and sets a colour depending on what status is entered - the default is green. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 15:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks - it all makes sense now. Hopefuly tomorrow I will have my brain cells back and won't ask so many daft questions. -Ladybirdintheuk 17:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe don't worry about it, I have a good knowledge of PHP and alot of advanced template syntax uses similar devices. I don't know if you have any web codes based background but I would guess not :D I always assume everyone else can follow me and my obscuire knowledge :P --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 20:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know html (which is why it was annoyed that I couldn't remember how to change the font colours!). Nothing more complicated than that though. -Ladybirdintheuk 08:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
