Hilite template 2.0 (for learning purposes)
Hi mono, so I went through your template school to help me understand what's going on. I read the sections for the parser functions that Gary King used. I wanted to make it so the text color can be changed (not for the hilite template, just to see if I can actually do it). I got the text to change color, which was a small victory. But I can't get the text to revert to normal (no highlighting, black text) after the date expires. To get any sign of life, I had to switch and  around, so now parameter 4 is the date and parameter 3 is the text color. Any ideas where I need to tweak any of the code? Thanks so much! –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  07:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) My main namespace User:Keraunoscopia holds the template (modified), and I put the template tests there as well
 * 2) the core is at User:Keraunoscopia/core; I modified this so the text color is black (I tested it with red, and it worked fine)
 * I'll take a look.  m o  n  o   17:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries, actually; I'm making slow progress with some very beginner contributions and this was probably too large of a step at the mo'. I will figure it out, but not right now :D –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  01:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

A bit more advice...
If you are replying to a response on the Help desk such as Updating an article on a person of historical importance, it is sometimes useful to look into it a bit more deeply than just give a 'standard' answer.

There is an article about Eugene Curnow (and that appears to be the only one about a person with that name), and a quick search of Google News/Archive didn't find anything, but a search of Google Web Search did! This one is a copy of this one, which is the reference I added to the article.

Even if that had not been available, look at my reply: if the questioner had been referring to the Curnow we have an article about, then they could respond in more detail - if it was about another Curnow, then I would have added your advice (had you not already done so).

The point I'm trying to make is that on the Help desk (and the New contributors' help page), before replying it is necessary to look into the issue a bit - if you can't find the information, or the article doesn't exist, etc, then perhaps use a template or a 'standard' reply might be suitable, but often more is required!

 * Incidently, your advice should have included the fact that the date can be added to the article if there is some reliable source for the information. A BLP subject probably wouldn't be too happy to find that they have been declared to be dead on Wikipedia when they are alive and kicking! -- <font color="#307D7E">Phantom <font color="#55CAFA">Steve /<font color="#008000">talk &#124;<font color="#000080">contribs \ 08:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

BigTop
Hey Mono, I saw you moved BigTop to Big Top (application), giving the reason "correct name". As I understand WP:AT and WP:DAB, this was unnecessary. The application is not named Big Top (application). It is named BigTop (according to the article). Therefore, if there is no other article with the name BigTop, no disambiguator is needed. If you don't mind, could you move it back? Thanks, Airplaneman   ✈  02:20, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

BLP PRODs
Hi there, I've noticed you've been adding a lot of BLP PRODs to newly created articles today, particularly some footballers. This is all well and good, but I think the idea is that you actually look for sources before placing these tags willy-nilly, or else it creates a lot of work for other editors. Respectfully, Big  Dom  20:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll remove any remaining, as both articles you tagged had references (your tagged version of Craig Strachan, Stephen Hill). Just because there are no inline citations (which are preferable but not required) does not mean they do not have references. Airplaneman   ✈  02:26, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As I said on IRC, it's only detrimental to BLP prod articles which are perfectly notable. If you can't take the time to look for existing sources yourself, don't make others do it on a deadline.  — fetch ·  comms   18:43, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

The name you put, however, has both a space and a period. ~<i style="color:#07517C;">Super</i> Hamster  Talk Contribs 22:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * All righty, I think I've got how the rules work. The thing is, it's up to you to put in all the rules, as it requires you to enter keywords that would make the article fall under WikiProject Apple Inc. As a result, I've edited the rules page (Edit: Moved to here) as an example for you to follow. I'll try to explain how the rules work in a more simplistic and less confusing fashion than that of the official instruction page, if that's all right.


 * First, I'll tell you how it works in a nutshell. On the rules page, you specify certain words and associate a point value to them. Whenever a new article is created, the bot searches the article to see whether or not any of those specified words are present. If and when it detects one of the words, it adds the point value for the word in a running total. If the total point value meets or surpasses a certain point value, known as the threshold, the bot lists that article for the WikiProject once the search if completed.


 * Now here's the technical stuff. The stuff in red is the actual code; the stuff in black are the labels I've put it.
 * @@15@@ <--The number in between the at-signs is the threshold point value
 * 10/\WMac/ <--This is a rule; the bot looks for the word "Mac", and if found, it adds ten points.
 * 15/\WApple/ <--This is another rule; the bot looks for the word "Apple", and if found, it adds fifteen points.
 * The threshold value is pretty self-explanatory. Moving on to the rules: as you can see, the point value goes first, followed by a foward slash and "\W". The reason why "\W" is placed there is that it makes it so that "Mac" is the only keyword recognized in the article; otherwise, any part of the keyword would work, such as "Ma". After the "\W", you place the keyword. You then finish it off with another forward slash.
 * One other thing to note: if the keyword appears in the lead of the article, double the points are added to the total. So for example, if the word "Mac" appears in the lead of an article, twenty points would be added instead of the normal ten points. As a result, the article would be automatically added to the new pages list of the WikiProject (unless a negative value is specified for another keyword, taking it back down to below 15).
 * There are some other things you can mess with to make the rules even more specific, but I don't think those are necessary at this point (and, I also don't feel like learning how they work). Hope this helps; if it still doesn't make sense, you can ask about whatever you're confused about, or perhaps EdoDodo can help you out better. ~<i style="color:#07517C;">Super</i> Hamster  Talk Contribs 23:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Archiving
Hello, Mono, I have a question for you, if you happen to know some Wikicode. What parameters do you have to set for this:

so that I can manually archive without a bot watching over me, and the title that it displays is changed from "Archives" to "Previous", as well as having different titles in Archive sections like "Piggy Bank".

 * Tel, is that you? As far as I can tell, it is all detailed at Template:Archives. For the custom titles, you can create this page, similar to this page and use, which makes it read from User talk:Mono/archivelist (or whatever your username is). Finally, you can use |title=YOUR TITLE to set the title.  See example above. The help desk might be able to help even more if you need it, or you could keep asking me. PS, Wikipedia cannot offer medical advice (for your insomnia) —  m o n o   19:33, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

WP Report on WP Universities
Hey mono. Would you be interested in doing a Report on WikiProject Universities for either August 2 or 9? I can't do it myself since I'm pretty active over there. Featuring WP Univ in early August would be nice since college students typically go back to school in mid to late August. On a related note, I'm starting to put questions together for the WP Apple interview.

A recent editor ( which I won't mention due to privacy purposes ) has expressed concern about the neutrality of my userpage.

Mono, got a very helpful email response from one editor at Ships. RL work is suddenly highly pressured, but despite this, I'll be back to the page Sunday/Monday. Is it OK if I rationalise the pics? Tony  (talk)  08:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Do whatever you like, I'll finish up any loose ends. — m o n o   17:13, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Mono, the new horizontal arrangements of the pics were allowing bits of text to leak upward, between the Iowa and the box, and between each pair of pics further down, depending on how wide one's window is. That's why I experimented with making them larger (larger than is appropriate, I think, and so does The ed on my talk page). Haus now suggests "putting on the first line and on the last line.  This will prevent pictures from squishing together." I guess I'll try it.  Tony   (talk)  09:57, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Or is it the identification of the list in the first place that is the issue? I'm a newbie to this, although I remember reading a few reports a while back. Tony  (talk)  05:51, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've never done a Discussion Report, so it's new to me. Honestly, we could change it as much as we like... I'm compiling a list of discussions to cover, but help with that is needed. <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 17:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd be willing to help but, like mono, have never done a discussion report before. Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 17:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, let's change that. <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 17:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing as we're both online, should we use the Wikipedia Signpost IRC? Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 17:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I had the bad luck of downloading FF4, which broke my IRC app. <font face="Papyrus"> mo no  so  ck   17:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * IRC would be great, except I don't know nothin' about IRCs. What application do I "choose" in the dialogue box? I'm going to bed, anyway. Could I just say that we probably need to ration the coverage—I don't know ... to the recent and what we think the readers will find interesting? We can't possibly catch up with everything since the last appearance of the Discussion report. Tony   (talk)  17:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

←Urm, yeah. I'm amazed at the quantity of stuff. Recent discussions only, please. Tony: see this. <font face="Papyrus"> mo no  so  ck   17:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * We could just do it from the past week. It would be extremely long if it was from the last discussion report. I've taken a quick look, but was the last one in December last year? Thanks, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 17:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * yeah. <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 18:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, Mono. Do you already have a list of possible discussions to choose from at the draft page? Perhaps we could make such a list at the top for our use, and debate the priorities and order. WP:Centralized discussion might be a start. Then the RfCs. Then the lively talk-page discussions. Tony  (talk)  18:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That seems the best way. See also Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Resources. <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 18:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would find lively talk page discussions wuite interesting, although I can't speak for the rest of the community. Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 18:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Home invasion in Britain
Hi Mono. You objected to the speedy deletion tag I'd put on Home invasion in Britain. So what is the procedure after merging pages to delete the superfluous page? There isn't much activity, but people have had ample time to respond and the consensus was (I thought - you may disagree) that 'Home invasion in Britain' should be merged into Munir Hussain and victims' rights. You asked me to review the criteria, but I had already done so and this section is why I tagged it "Before nominating a page for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere, reverted to a better previous revision ..." Aarghdvaark (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd just redirect it to the other page, or if the redirect falls under any speedy deletion criteria here, tag it as that. <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 17:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * OK thanks Aarghdvaark (talk) 17:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Your new layout
Just a note: The black apple covers a part of the first section's header.  Bramble  claw  x   18:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC) . Feel free to revert if you don't like it. Airplaneman  ✈  Review? 01:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, how awful! Face-tongue.svg <font face="Papyrus"> — m  o  n  o   (how's my driving?) 18:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW, I've also just fixed a link in your header. Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 18:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Other than the apple, I quite like the pretty blue banner. It's nice.  Bramble  claw  x   18:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Same; the apple covers the first header. And it displays as gray for me. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 01:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Tried a fix using
 * I just noticed there are no links to your archives anymore. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 01:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, the new layout is nice but it doesn't properly attribute the images which are not in the public domain. You will need to find some way to attribute the authors of these images since you've replaced the link to their description pages with links to your user pages. For an example where this is done properly, see User:Jack Merridew (on a day he is not displaying a public domain image; like today). – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 01:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. (Someone should probably drop User:AxG a note, too). Another way to do this would be something like the following. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 16:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
