User talk:ShadowWolf

how do you delete a page that has no content? I've had to modify a title of a story page and removed it's content, but the title still appears on my author page.

Please sign with the ~~~~ - but generally you have to remove all content and then kill any links to it you've made. That'll "orphan" it and then an admin can go and do the actual delete. ShadowWolf 15:43, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

Page deleted, Oberon. (Recent Edits is a wonderful tool!) - in the future, though, please sign all entries on a talk page using the ~~~~ specifier - it's what gives the nifty user link and timestamp. (and in requests for deletion, could you please include the page name ?) ShadowWolf 15:48, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

Sitenotice text

Where did you put the text for the donation sitenotice? Normally it'd be at MediaWiki:Sitenotice, but I'm assuming since it's not there you've inserted it into the source code somewhere. Bryan 20:46, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Never mind, I found it - MonoBook.php, right? I should move it out of that and into sitenotice, it won't appear for anyone who's using a different skin otherwise. Bryan 21:01, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Didn't know about the Sitenotice bit, so yeah, I did a bit of hacking and dumped it straight into the code from the primary skin. I actually had thought about dumping it directly into the Skin driver, but decided not to. — ShadowWolf 21:08, 3 January 2008 (EST)

There, fixed up. I pulled the code from the source and added a version to the Mediawiki:Sitenotice. "A Version" because I had to use the same custom tag I created for Shifti:Site support to do the button. (PayPal kinda requires it be a form with a crapload of hidden fields) — ShadowWolf 21:16, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Heh. I was just working on that myself. Good to know I was on the right track. :) Bryan 21:20, 3 January 2008 (EST)

This is odd. It appears that integral.org is in the spam protection filter, I can't save Main Page now. Bryan 21:37, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Not in any of the spamfilters I installed. It's not in the central MediaWiki list or in the site-specific list. I'll look deeper. — ShadowWolf 22:00, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Special:Version doesn't have any spam-blockers besides SpamBlacklist and none of its lists have "integral" anywhere in them. So I don't know what the problem could be... Everything I've installed is hacked to not bug people that are in the Admin group about ANYTHING, so I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. — ShadowWolf 22:04, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Well, whatever the problem was, it seems to have passed. I should have saved a copy of the error message but I suppose it's moot if it doesn't come back. BTW, I hope you don't mind the little tweaks I made to the sitenotice banner. Bryan 23:38, 3 January 2008 (EST)
