User talk:Salman/Archive

User talk:SalmanH I never knew about the horse carrying The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Interesting. I thought it could have been Odin's horse sleipnir, but he had eight legs. And no, I live in Mississippi, otherwise known as hick country and I am a ravid mythology fanatic.--Moe1216 21:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks man. It helps alot.--Moe1216 14:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I forgot that he appeared in that episode. Thanks man.--Moe1216 14:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I have one small problem man. I don't have a screen shot button, and if I do, I don't know which one it is.--Moe1216 15:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Sweet, and no I am not blocking anything from the wikias.--Moe1216 17:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, nope. I haven't been blocked from any wikias.--Moe1216 18:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

That was funny as heck man. Did you make that and yes I know about Naruto and many, many, many other Manga.--Moe1216 18:47, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh.I have one small problem man. I don't have a screen shot button, and if I do, I don't know which one it is.--Moe1216 19:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Found it. Thanks.--Moe1216 19:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I used the screen print to get pictures of Odin, Ra, and Vishnu. Problem is, I can't copy them off ms word onto the file with the pictures. Any advice?--Moe1216 19:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I can copy it, just only to other ms office pages.--Moe1216 20:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I found another website with all of the samurai Jack episodes and they load quickly. Its animefreak.tv.--Moe1216 03:15, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Still no luck, and adopt a wiki?--Moe1216 21:07, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. How do I send them to ya?--Moe1216 21:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

You'll think of something. Whst if I tell you where I got them? That way you could get them too.--Moe1216 21:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I sent them. Hope you get em.--Moe1216 21:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Hope I can get the pictures on here.--Moe1216 18:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks man.--Moe1216 14:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Hey SalmanH. It's good to see you and Moe1216 have gotten to work rejuvenating this wiki, and if there is there anything I can do to help feel free to contact me :-). Cheers.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 11:18, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's no problem, I'm more than happy to help with anything you guys need. One of the first things you may want to consider making is a logo for the wiki, to replace the default wikia one :-). See here for info on it.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 13:46, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

More helpers
Having more people on the wikia would make things alot easier, but I don't know if anyone would want to help.--Moe1216 19:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I am going to leave it up to you. You know what's best for the site. All I do is just make pages.--Moe1216 20:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I guess our best bet would be to ask Grunny if any people on wookiepedia would like to ehlp. If not then we can go from there. And I imagine you found out my name from my e-mail address.--Moe1216 20:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

You got a point there.--Moe1216 01:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I couldn't help noticing the conversation :P. I agree more helpers is needed, I have the same problem at the moment at the Firefly Wiki which I just adopted as you have done. A fellow Wookieepedian and I have started cleaning it up, re-organizing it in preparation to hopefully get it spotlighted so we can draw in new users and get a core group of contributors. I think what would be a good idea first here is to make the wiki more "attractive" as it were and maybe design a custom background to go along with a logo and so forth. After that, start creating as many articles as possible and then approach wikia about a spotlight. I will hopefully be able to contribute here too since I enjoyed the series a while ago, and I'll be helping out too :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:04, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can help you create a skin. If you specify what you have in mind like background colors and so forth I can give it a go, but only admins can add it to the css page.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well think about things like what color you want the top masthead to be (i.e. the part where the User name, "My talk", "Watchlist", etc. is), and what color you want the overall background to be. Also if you the background something more than just a plain color you can upload a picture to go over it. For example, on the Naruto wiki, the background is orange but it has this see through image going over the top. For the most part the css coding is fairly simple to do :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes the Dragonball Wiki does have a good background. Well let me know when you and Moe have some ideas and I'll have a go at creating the code for you, then you can copy it to the css page :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 07:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope you two don't mind, I've uploaded a wiki logo, just so it's not the boring white :P. You can of course change it at any point, as you get a better idea of what you would like the wiki to look like :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Awesome and I agree, take that TDI! I thought a good skin would be the crest of Jack's family in the background. What do you think?--Moe1216 18:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Logo
Can't take credit for the logo, that was Grunny.--Moe1216 23:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Problem
No worries, SalmanH. To put an image as a logo you simply upload File:Wiki.png and the software automatically makes whatever image is saved there the logo. That's why the logo I uploaded is the current one. To change it, you simply upload a new version of the file, but make sure it is the correct size 216x155px. Hope that helps :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 07:26, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It should be showing up everywhere. Can you link me to a page where it doesn't show up so I can see what the problem might be?  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that shouldn't really affect it. It could just be a cache problem either with the site itself or your browser. Try refreshing your cache (press Ctrl+F5) and see if the problem persists.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:53, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Great :-). No problem, I'm always happy to help.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Portal
Actually, That was something I wanted to do, like make a page about the mystical items that appear throughout the show like the swords, portals, and mystical gems. What you think?--Moe1216 18:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Dude, awesome work finding that symbol, and yeah let's make the item page.--Moe1216 19:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

The colors sound good to me.--Moe1216 22:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Skin
Okay cool, I'll start working on the code, and as I go I can check in with you if I understand what you have in mind correctly. Also, since only administrators can edit MediaWiki pages and it would be quite tedious to constantly ask you to copy things to the page, to make it easier for me to work on it, would you be willing to make me a temporary administrator? Since you're a Bureaucrat you can add and remove adminship so after I'm done you can just remove me as administrator.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'd be willing to if you and Moe both agree :-). I'm almost finished cleaning up the family crest so we can modify the background color :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:43, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Making a start
Okay, so might as well make a start on the skin just to check what you guys want. Try creating this page: MediaWiki:Monaco.css and place this in it: body { background-image: url('http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/samuraijack/images/8/85/Family_crest-clear.png'); } That will just put the crest as the background and, after you save the page and then refresh your cache by pressing Ctrl+F5, it can be previewed here: Samurai Jack skin preview. Now for colors: the software only takes solid colors or images so we could make the background a gold color  like this . Or you can find the code for another color by experimenting at this site and, once you find the color you like, write down the code in the box under the three colors (red, green, blue). If you want a fading color or one like at the Dragon Ball Wiki which changes you need to make it an image. For example the way the Dragon Ball Wiki goes from that brown to orange color is through the use of this image. Let me know what exact gold colors you guys want or I can do some as a test and then we can tweak until satisfied :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay cool. I can have a go at making a fade from one colour to the other though I'm not the best image editor so it may take me a while to get it looking good :P. As for the logo, it can be anything you want. It could be a picture from the series like it is at the moment, it could be just text, or both. You could for example have a picture of Jack doing a move and have "Samurai Jack Wiki" over the top. There's no set way of doing the logo. And I'll start working on putting together the code once you or Moe grant me adminship as only admins can edit the MediaWiki:Monaco.css page :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 13:20, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Moe hasn't given me admin rights yet, you need to go here, tick the administrator box and confirm. The logo can be added or changed at any point so no rush :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 21:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Admin
Hey SalmanH. Yes I did thanks :D. I'm starting to write and work on the code for the skin now :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 07:53, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've added some basic colors and put the crest in the background. Refresh your cache and tell me what you think of the colors. I just whipped this up in a few seconds so it doesn't have everything and isn't refined but see what you think of the colors :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's a wikia-wide problem that is the result of the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15 but it should be resolved soon enough. I'll have a play with the color of the gold and let you know when I think I've got it about right :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's just every time Wikia upgrades it's MediaWiki software there will be bugs. The upload problem has been reported here and Wikia staff are working on a fix for the problem. I'll darken both colors, I'll just have a play with them and then check back with you to see how much darker/lighter/etc you would like them :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've darkened the brown a bit more. Refresh your cache and tell me if that's better :). I'll get the gold next.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, which one of those browns would you prefer?  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The top right brown is now the background. The middle left was too dark in my opinion and it contrasted too sharply with the image, but what do you think of it now with the top right one? :)  Grunny  ( Talk ) 10:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, the top right one is now the background hence it's darkness. I can put it to the middle left one for you to see how dark it was if you want?  Grunny  ( Talk ) 10:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, it's on the middle left now if you refresh your cache. It's pretty dark, and I'll probably have to smooth out the family crest if this is the right color. What do you think?  Grunny  ( Talk ) 11:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome :-). I'll smooth out the crest tomorrow to get rid of those tiny bits of white around it and upload a new version. I'll also work on the gold and some other parts of Moe and your ideas for the skin :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 11:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Already got through my first two weeks, but thanks SalmanH.--Moe1216 06:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.--Moe1216 14:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
