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. —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. --JeffLane 19:51, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

That's a lot better. Thanks. —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. —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. --JeffLane 13:57, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Alrighty, just bringing them to attention —Mattshu 14:36, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

No problem, thanks. --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. --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. --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, which isn't always desirable. Could the borders be disabled on images? --TomEdwards 05:10, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Yes, the border should not be there. This was fixed. --JeffLane 11:09, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Otherlang2 template integration

Tom here. Since there's an actual site style now, could I please put in a request? --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. --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. --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. --JeffLane 13:52, 5 July 2011 (PDT)

Looks great

New site style looks great! Thelonesoldier 21:53, 30 June 2011 (PDT)

The VDC bot deleting old files/pages marked for deletion is like an angel from heaven. Thanks. Thelonesoldier 02:03, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Question regarding an entity

There is a page on an entity called logic_mirror_movement on the wiki, located here, but it is not listed in any fgd, and there is almost no reference to it anywhere. Does it actually exist, or not? Solokiller 04:22, 23 July 2011 (PDT)

It still exists in the SDK as game\server\logic_mirror_movement.cpp. It probably got removed in later Source games, because the parenting system is better for movement mirroring. --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. --ThaiGrocer 13:06, 21 August 2011 (PDT)

Editing suggestion

Would there be any way to implement a setting in a user's control panel to hide the preview page while editing? It can be tiresome on the scroll finger to view a large page, find an error near the bottom (or anywhere, for that matter), hit 'Edit', then scroll pass the preview portion of the large page to get to the editing space. I wasn't sure if that would require a change to the layout all together or if a simple setting could make it happen (or both). Hell, it'd even help if the edit box was moved to the top, above the preview. It'd make for faster small edits, like fixing/adding the {{otherlang2}} template. —Mattshu 11:02, 5 September 2011 (PDT)

My Preferences > Editing > Show preview before edit box.

Also, click outside of the editing textarea then use CTRL+PGUP/PGDN to quickly skip to the top of bottom of the page.

That option has been there this whole time, huh? *facepalm* —Mattshu 11:11, 6 September 2011 (PDT)

Page move needs delete

Hi Jeff, I'd like to move Creating a schedule and Creating a task to Schedule and Task respectively. Could you delete the target pages please? --Artfunkel 11:42, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
