I wouldn't exactly mind some help :P

I've been trying to find someone to help me/start it up for about 6 months now, and you're the only one that has ever offered. Thank you. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Growncool7 (talk) • (contribs) 00:48, 4 March 2012

Rubik

There is this new guy agian called Rubik and he changed the whole Demoman biography into Hi, MY NAME IS YOGDEEP KALIA, IM FROM INDIA Please tell him to watch it Lockon 05:05, 4 March 2012 (PST)

I'm not an admin so I can't block him or anything, there's nothing more I can do that you can't, so just keep an eye on him. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 06:54, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Template:User Item

Why not revert it to this revision for now? Wikitext seems to be pretty flaky anyways.--Fiskie ^{Talk :: Contribs} 07:25, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Whoops, pretty sure I had reverted it - my internets must have broken =( Thanks for noticing! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 08:50, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Hey, check this out! User:GordonFrohman/Item Limie Pie 10:24, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Nice, you got the colours working! The only other thing I had a problem with it the item name - the quality and name should be on the same line, in bold, and all the same colour as the quality (e.g. Strange "Lon Lon Milk" or Vintage Mad Milk). If you're interested, I've been using it to display the items in my loadout; you can see how the old revision works here. Thanks alot for helping! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 11:21, 4 March 2012 (PST)

OK, ignore me, I see you've already fixed all that and updated the original template. Thanks a million! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 11:22, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Ninja'd me ;D You're welcome. Now I am trying to make the template being able to read pain cans' names, instead of codes. Limie Pie 11:24, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Nice =D Eventually I hope to be able to use named parameters as well, but I think I'll leave it be for a while. I've had enough of that template for a few days XD » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 11:36, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Heh, good luck then! But actually I'm done. Look at my User:GordonFrohman/Item again! Limie Pie 11:47, 4 March 2012 (PST)

By the way, what was actually wrong with my code? I'd be interested to know how you got it to work. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 13:01, 4 March 2012 (PST)

You wrote {{paint}} and {{name}}, instead of {{paint|}} and {{name|}}, so IF template was not working. With symbol | it began asking for any non-empty definition. (Translation: I have no idea, I just pushed some buttons and somehow it began working. :DD) Limie Pie 13:08, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Great - it's nice to know I was only failing a little bit =) I was worried I'd done something seriously stupid. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 13:19, 4 March 2012 (PST)

I've managed to get those parameters working properly =) And I've also sent a message to everyone else who was using the template so they'll know why it's suddenly stopped working. I did originally leave it unlisted hoping that no-one would try and use it 'till it was finished, but apparently nothing can hide on the wiki =/ » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 17:00, 4 March 2012 (PST)

Just wanna say thanks since the new parameter method is pretty neat. Thanks --Fiskie ^{Talk :: Contribs} 14:52, 6 March 2012 (PST)

Demoman Skin

I tend to avoid custom skins, but I really envy your Demoman picture. Did you make it just for the page, or is it a real skin you can download? If so could you post the link?

Thank you for your time. From an American Scot to one in the country.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 17:06, 5 March 2012 (PST)

Haha, I actually just recoloured it using an image editor, it's not a reskin at all =) Glad you like it though! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 18:21, 5 March 2012 (PST)

Oh. If it was real I would love to use it.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 18:41, 5 March 2012 (PST)

Talk:Item sets#Split

I've modified it a little, so there are now three options. Could you change your message (and opinion) to reflect this?  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:18, 7 March 2012 (PST)

Template

He use (Template:Misc of the month image) on the 3 pages.--FreeXMan Talk | Cont 12:04, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

I've switched the misc image template to use a new one now, it's just taking a while for the What Links Here to notice. If you think about it, the only links there are transclusions, which shouldn't be possible unless another page is linked to it directly. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 12:06, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

Alba gu bràth!

I complied with your request and changed my signature to a link. The reason I initially did that was because I accidentally used my real name when I signed up and I'm trying to shy away from using it (or revealing it) without having to start over. You raise a good point, so I linked my signature.

Anyway, cheers, and long live Scotland!

Great :) It's also handy to link your talk page in your sig, for anyone who wants to get in touch with you. And if it helps you can change the title of your userpage to match your new name by putting {{DISPLAYTITLE:Reverend}} somewhere on it (I've done a similar thing on this talk page), though it will still list your real profile name in the Recent Changes log when you make an edit, so if you're that worried about using it then you're best just to make a new one. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 07:21, 30 March 2012 (PDT)

Loadout: How to

I wanted to put up a Loadout on the bottom of my page like you have and was wondering if you could help me out. I would really appreciate it!--Magnum Force-Enforcer 15:25, 8 April 2012 (PDT)

Not a problem :) It's easy enough to do, but does require quite a lot of code so to make things simpler it's a good idea to make a separate loadout page (something like User:Magnum Force-Enforcer/Loadout would do) so that you can edit and play around with the code without having to worry about messing up your user page. You can display it on your userpage the same way you'd do so with a template on any article on the wiki, with the code {{User:Magnum Force-Enforcer/Loadout}}. You can see I've done a similar thing here.

The next step is to get the code you need - the easiest thing to do is just copy the code from my one and edit it to suit your loadout. It's actually pretty basic - the table and tabs on the left are all done by the {{ClassTabs}} template, so all you need to change are the parameters in each of the {{User Item}} templates, the same way you use the parameters in a userbox. There's a list of parameters you can use here.

That's really all there is to it - just keep playing around with the code till you get it right - and remember that Show Preview button =P One small word of caution though - the {{User Item}} template is still a work in progress so it might be altered in the future. I've been letting everyone who uses the template know whenever I change anything major but as more and more people are using it that's becoming more trouble than it's worth. Just don't worry if one day it suddenly goes haywire and stops working properly - that'll just be me messing around with it. It'll be fixed soon enough :) Let me know if you need any more help setting everything up! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 16:28, 8 April 2012 (PDT)

No problems. Thanks for the help you are credit to team.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 12:01, 9 April 2012 (PDT)
