Example message
Hello there, this is an example message. -NottNott 09:23, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- I've not used the talk feature before, just looks like a normal page with a special category -Denise Skidmore
- getting the hang of proper talk signature etiquette Dlskidmore (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Wouldn't 'Reddit' be cleaner then 'reddit'. Sam.Watson (talk) 21:56, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Done.
- Ended up trying to import bazillions of non-functioning Wikipedia templates like {{done}} while I was at it. Probably going to have a lot of cleaning up to do later on, I'm making such a mess. -NottNott (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Can you add getting the navbox working to your list. Articles become more co-ordinated and sensible when there is a method of overview and navigation. Sam.Watson (talk) 17:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- Needs Scribunto extension - can do this when I have access to the backend. 100% a priority when I can get around to this. -NottNott (talk) 18:18, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
References
Can you add mw:Extension:Cite? It would allow us to cite sources. Heddy (talk) 22:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you have access to the thread on the forum where I discuss the backend and configuration a little more. I'm currently waiting to get backend access to configure the MediaWiki install - the wiki is hosted on Jake's file server and I don't have FTP access at the moment. As you can imagine, there are plenty of extensions and configurations I'd like to do, and Cite will definitely be added.
- By the way Template:VisionStats is awesome. What experience do you have on other wikis? :) -NottNott (talk) 22:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- I saw the thread but didn't read it thoroughly, so I thought you had full access!
- I have been editing Wikipedia and various video game wikis for about 5 years. I can make that template even better if you add ParserFunctions! Heddy (talk) 22:24, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, it's a doozy in that thread. Thanks for the extension suggestions, you're welcome to compile a list of extensions you want installed on the ToDo list and I'll get through it. Also, you've passed the extensive RFA process we have here, have the mop :) -NottNott (talk) 22:31, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
ProveIt
Not sure if any of this is fixable, but ProveIt has a few foibles.
- It sometimes reverses the first and last name of the author. That one I doubt is fixable, because not everyone will use the same text formatting everywhere, so it would have to know as much as a human about names. (Although it might be able to learn more about common first and last names in other cultures than I know myself if it could do it at all.)
- The Journal template doesn't like partial dates like 2010 Dec. It wants the day, but the day isn't always known, many of the articles cite only a year or month and year. That might be fixable in the template? Dlskidmore (talk) 02:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Copy wrong
I won't use disney, they have a history of being agressive about protecting there content. Jake doesn't require the hassle and neither do you, Sam.Watson (talk) 16:09, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: Take it down and delete the file then, I would. -NottNott (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

For amazing work both behind the scenes and on the Wiki. Relax, take a break and do your exam work. 😉 Sam.Watson (talk) 20:04, 26 May 2020 (UTC) |
- @Sam.Watson: People obsess about exam work far too much! There's myopia to fix!! Thanks for the barnstar -NottNott (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

'Not medical advice', you mean 'No medical advice'? Sam.Watson (talk) 19:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Experimenting
I see you're having fun! Sam.Watson (talk) 17:23, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: If you can tell me how 500 Internal Server Errors on specific pages (like this talk page) are fun, then I'll be shocked. Fixed now!!
- Caching is enabled across the wiki, PARTICULARLY for anonymous users. Open up incognito and start clicking on things. This uses Varnish cache, which gives anonymous users a jet aeroplane to get around. Doesn't work for logged in wiki users, but there is another cache that I've enabled for us. I can't see it getting faster than that. -NottNott (talk) 17:49, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, and thumbnail generation bug was seemingly fictional. It was due to my browser cache, and me thinking I could clear it with Ctrl+R instaed of Ctrl+F5. Whoops. We can overwrite old files!!!! -NottNott (talk) 17:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Nice. Insights 90 to 99% https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ with https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.endmyopia.org%2Fwiki%2FEndMyopia_Wiki
- In another test image can be slow. https://www.webpagetest.org/result/200529_W2_503ae97c52f243f26dcc8989ed5413b6/3/details/#waterfall_view_step1
- Sam.Watson (talk) 18:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: This will be a lot faster when more users roam around the wiki and generate more cached files through Varnish :) -NottNott (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Compressed adorable kitten
What's up here? https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/File:Adorable_cute_kitten_tapping_on_Macbook.gif Sam.Watson (talk) 18:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: The fun will never end! -NottNott (talk) 18:35, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: Should be fixed. -NottNott (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, fixed now. Was that something you did, or took a while? I noticed it updated the front page image almost immediately, so that was good. Sam.Watson (talk) 18:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam.Watson: That one's to do with ImageMagick. Which is a false prophet to fixing image related problems by the looks of things. I disabled it, and the problem vanished. And the image thumbnailing bug was a lie, just like the cake from Portal. -NottNott (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

typos
there were two small typos in your welcome message - receive, and not recieve. If this is a standard welcoming text I suggest you correct this. Hannie. I have to figure out how to get the tilde sign onto my keyboard.
- @Hannie: Done
