| == User preferences box not stylized ==
| |
|
| |
| It may only be happening for me, but my user preferences blinded me with its original white background. I wasn't sure if this was purposely set or accidental by not using the same color schemes as this new layout. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 18:44, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| : That was an oversight -- the changes did not get applied. Should look better now, though it is a work-in-progress. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 19:51, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| ::That's a lot better. Thanks. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 20:27, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| ::Also, I'm not sure if this was meant to remain, but when browsing a picture, the table class 'wikitable filehistory' and the table id 'mw_metadata' isn't stylized with the new layout either. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 05:55, 9 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| ::: Yes, there's a few more areas, especially with tables, that are usable now, but need updating to fit in properly. They'll be fixed at some point. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 13:57, 11 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| :::: Alrighty, just bringing them to attention —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 14:36, 11 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| ::::: No problem, thanks. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 16:54, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

| == Old VDC theme ==
| |
|
| |
| Could you add the original style as alternative to the preferences? I quite liked the original bright theme. --[[User:Pizzahut|pizzahut]] 04:26, 28 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| : Unfortunately, no. It was tested, but too many changes to site templates were required that made the old theme unusable. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 11:07, 28 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Floating image borders ==
| |
|
| |
| Really liking the new style! There is one niggle though: all floated boxes have borders, [[GIMP|which isn't always desirable]]. Could the borders be disabled on images? --[[user:TomEdwards|TomEdwards]] 05:10, 28 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| : Yes, the border should not be there. This was fixed. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 11:09, 28 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Otherlang2 template integration ==
| |
|
| |
| Tom here. Since there's an actual site style now, could I please [[User:Artfunkel/otherlang heading|put in a request]]? --[[User:Artfunkel|Artfunkel]] 13:45, 30 June 2011 (PDT)
| |
| : What exact changes are you requesting? It's not clear the scope of what you're asking for from that page. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 14:45, 1 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| :: It's some new HTML to replace the current firstHeading element, embedding the otherlang bar into the site properly. It would need to be added to the custom theme PHP. --[[User:Artfunkel|Artfunkel]] 15:21, 1 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| ::: If you would like to submit a functioning patch against the Mediawiki 1.16.5 Vector codebase, we can look into testing it. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 13:52, 5 July 2011 (PDT)

| == Looks great ==
| |
|
| |
| New site style looks great! [[User:Thelonesoldier|Thelonesoldier]] 21:53, 30 June 2011 (PDT)

| == Question regarding an entity ==
| |
|
| |
| There is a page on an entity called logic_mirror_movement on the wiki, located [[Logic_mirror_movement| here]], but it is not listed in any fgd, and there is almost no reference to it anywhere. Does it actually exist, or not? [[User:Solokiller|Solokiller]] 04:22, 23 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| :It still exists in the SDK as <code>game\server\logic_mirror_movement.cpp</code>. It probably got removed in later Source games, because the parenting system is better for movement mirroring. --[[User:Barracuda|Barracuda]] 06:28, 23 July 2011 (PDT)

| |
| == Vandalizing account ==
| |
|
| |
| This user is quite peculiar if you look at the history of contribs: [[Special:Contributions/Dardar2003]]. Is there a way to just simply ban the account and reverse everything that was changed by this user in a few clicks? Currently, any changes made by this user have not been undone. --{{user|ThaiGrocer}} 13:06, 21 August 2011 (PDT)

|
| |
| == Deletion request ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi, could you please delete these two pages for me? [[User:Pizzahut/monobook.js]] [[User talk:Pizzahut/valve.js]] Thanks in advance.
| |
|
| |
| Btw is the VDC bot still running? How would I get it to delete these pages, blanking didn't help, adding the delete template neither. --[[User:Pizzahut|pizzahut]] 11:22, 12 January 2012 (PST)
| |
| :Tagging a page for deletion only flags the page, it doesn't mean it will be deleted instantly. There are many pages on the VDC that are flagged for deletion that still remain, it's just a matter of priority, I suppose. Pages that contain spam or spammers usually rank the highest in deletion. There was a time last year though when the VDCBot deleted every paged marked for deletion. That was nice. But personally asking for pages to be deleted might get them ousted faster, I assume. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 13:13, 12 January 2012 (PST)

|
| |
| == Translated Page ==
| |
|
| |
| There is now a [[Valve Developer Community:Alternative Languages:fr]] page. --[[User:Almos|Almos]] 18:47, 13 March 2012 (CET)

| |
| == Suggestion: Wiki account activation ==
| |
|
| |
| We've recently been getting hit by spammers. I think we can mitigate this problem if the wiki requires each user to validate their account via email before being allowed to create content. If it's even possible, that is. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 13:54, 24 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| :: That is already the case. We're switching to a different CAPTCHA system to see if there is any improvement. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 13:18, 25 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| ::: Ohh, you're right. I figured since the option to edit a page was available under an unactivated account, you could do so. I didn't go any further than that though. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 10:54, 26 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| :Perhaps make the first 5 or so edits moderated by an administrator to catch spammers before they can do real harm. [[User:Solokiller|Solokiller]] 02:44, 25 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| :: Unfortunately, that is not very practical with a wiki. For one thing, a page could be edited by another user in between the time the new user edits the page and when the edit is approved. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 13:18, 25 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| :::Well, since most spam seems to be new pages and images, couldn't you make creation of them moderated? [[User:Solokiller|Solokiller]] 22:38, 25 March 2012 (PDT)
| |
| :::: Good idea. It's not like new pages are being created every other minute (apart from spammers). Maybe if the same CAPTCHA method were introduced before being able to create a new page. —[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 10:54, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

| == HUD Timer ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi ! I already asked this question on Mattshu's talk, but he could'nt help me. So maybe you... I want to introduce in the HUD of my mod, a timer, like Challenges in Portal 1. But not for challenges and bonus maps, just to see how many time the player stays in a map. So can you help me ?
| |
| Thank's for your futur answer. --[[User:Almos|Almos]] 08:13, 28 April 2012 (PDT)
