Nevermind, see [[w:Thread:1810553]]

Hi, I'm an admin from Asphalt Wiki, and we have tons of numbers dislayed in km/h and mph.

1. Is it possible to add a sitewide variable like in My Preferences | My Info | Appearance where users can choose if they want to see all speed values in imperial or metric system, just like they can choose between several date formats?

2. How could that be implemented on pages? I was thinking of km/h and mph CSS classes that could just be turned on/off on page load.

If it's not possible to add something to the official Preferences options (which I fear), would it be possible to create a template that users can place on their profile that sets this global variable and keeps its value whenever the wiki is visited again by this user?

Unregistered users could see a default display (say km/h) and have a toggle button which they'd have to switch on every page they visit. We already have a script for this. But it would be nice if this toggler kept a chosen value for registered users.

Many thanks in advance

Guy

I hope there's a solution to this already, but I just couldn't find it because you try looking up "The" or "Article" on a wiki.

Over on DC, we use a template called TheSort. It sorts pages starting with The_ (and I think An_ and A_ as well) under the next letter. It also fixes numbers, so 10 does not come before 9. As you can see, it's a parser function hellscape. But it works.

Unfortunately, it does not work on categories generated in PIs. Those seem to ignore DEFAULTSORT as well, but in this case, the code <nowiki>[[Category:Whatever|{{{TheSort}}}]]</nowiki> doesn't recognize the template and sorts it under { instead (example).

Is there a way to change this with a LUA module that works in the infobox? If not, is there a JS script that can do this site-wide? I can't be the first to want this.

Can someone make a small script on this wiki that can be attached to a template so as not to open the source code of the article?https://lifefetest.fandom.com/uk

I do not fully understand the policy on changing the font for #mw-content-text (Article pages). Can someone confirm for me that changing the font is allowed?

How do I add the "Join Now" button to the discord on my wiki?

Hi, if you're an admin reading my question, I'd like to say thank you for responding. My question is this: How do I get medals in my wiki? Or can you add them? Thanks! P.S. My wiki is Effja's Fun Wiki!

This is a test to see if @Rappy 4187 responds to a call for help. He'll know why.

Is there any way to change the font of the Wikia Rail?

Hello. I am an admin on the Creepypasta Wiki. I was wondering if someone could make us a bot that makes a post in Discussions every time a new article is uploaded to the wiki.

Basically, whenever a new article is uploaded, the bot would make a post in Discussions titled "New Story:(Article Title)" and have a link to the article in the body of the post.

Is this feasible?

My wiki for https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki has a large number of key concepts, many with appropriate icons, that are used all over the place, and many of them aren't immediately obvious to new players like Planetary Engineering and Ecological Level.

So I have a template for all of those that displays the icon if it has one; the normal text or an override to only display the icon; a tooltip using https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/Tooltips; and a link to the main page or section for that concept.

The result is many pages end up with a large number of repetitive links to pages they aren't really directly related to. For instance, many buildings boost Production or Planetary Engineering, so the Buildings page ends up with many links to those pages and just a couple of links to Infrastructure, which actually is a closely related concept to Buildings. I do have a category structure in which Colonies contains Buildings and Infrastructure.

So my question is: is this practice going to confuse google about the actual relations of pages to each other, or penalize the page for so many repetitive links? I liked the links because they are convenient to a user wanting to read more on the concept and mobile users who can't see the tooltips.

An extreme example is https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki/Buildings -- every icon in the building notes used to be a link mainly for mobile users who didn't know what the icon stood for and couldn't see the tool tip, though I have removed most of those links afraid they would confuse google, so now they are just images--but I would like to add the links back. A page without the links removed is https://interstellar-space-genesis.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_Engineering.

Without using style="display: hidden", etc., this is the best I've come up with:

Template:IsDesktop type:Navigation

{{#if:1|1}}

This looks insane, but is required--see below.

Template:Mobile type:Data

{{#ifeq:{{IsDesktop}}|1|{{{2|}}}|{{{1|}}}}}

TestPage:

{{Mobile|This shows on mobile|This shows on desktop}}

It *works*, and even allows completely separate mobile pages with {{Mobile|{{:TestPageMobile}}|{{:TestPageDesktop}}}}.

But it is relying on functionality that violates the documentation. IsDesktop shouldn't even execute on mobile per the docs on Navigation type templates (and I've tried the others that are supposed to be non-mobile)--but it does, at least partially.

If IsDesktop is changed to just "1", it returns 1 on both mobile and desktop, though per the docs it shouldn't even execute. "{{#if:1|1}}" on the other hand, which should always return 1 if it does execute, only returns 1 on desktop. Change it to "<onlyinclude>{{#if:1|1}}</onlyinclude>" and it goes back to returning 1 in both cases.

I don't like relying on functionality that violates the documentation--though if they changed it to follow the documentation the above would still work.

Has anyone come up with a better method? I don't want to use the style thing because I want long sections different on mobile and it seems a waste to send both sections to the client.

Does anyone know what type of Discord Integration is used on this wiki, and if so do you also know if it's available for public use? I like the look of the widget on this wiki compared to the look of the regular Discord Integrator.

Thanks!

I tried following the step-by-step manual of linking my Wiki's Official Discord Server into the sidebar. Everything worked, except it's endlessly loading. I tried linking it at the bottom of a page and that seems to work, but the sidebar link is endlessly loading. I followed every single instruction word by word. Please help.

Does the main article template {{Main|SomePage}} provide any benefit over just typing "Main article: [[SomePage]]"? Does the template provide some additional information to Fandom or search engines? If not, why does it exist?

As far as I can tell it just spits out a div with the classes "notice hatnote context-link main dablink"
