13:36.27BovellGood day.
13:36.54Osehello
13:37.30BovellI had a couple questions that I hope can be answered by someone such as yourself.
13:38.19BovellAs I understand it, there was a small debate a couple months ago about fictional content on the SporeWiki.
13:39.21Oseuhm, yeah
13:39.31BovellAt one point a SporeFanon wiki was created, but now that link redirects back to the SporeWiki
13:39.43Oseyeah, that was a flop...
13:40.29BovellAh, so my question is Is fictional content still welcome on the wiki? And if so how should it be categorized?
13:42.27Osehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:We_need_to_do_something_about_all_the_fiction <--- we haven't really decided what to do
13:42.53Oseput it in your userspace or in a content page

16:58.12Osehey
17:01.05Osehehe, timemaster couldn't figure out how to move pages?
17:02.04Osemorgoth1145: should we just request a taxon namespace and do a mass move?
17:06.10morgoth1145in my opinion, yes
17:06.19morgoth1145How did you know I was here, anyway?
17:07.17morgoth1145And also, I'm trying to do an if where I'm checking to see if a parameter exists, and also trying to see if it's equal to another one
17:07.36morgoth1145how would I do that?  (I don't know wiki's conditional syntax and can't find a good source to learn from)
17:09.25Osehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:ParserFunctions
17:10.45morgoth1145Gracias
17:11.52morgoth1145This attempt is such a butchering...it's got to be possible, though
17:16.37morgoth1145And checking to see if some variable exists is just {{#if: {{{varName|}}} | stuffs if it exists | Stuffs if it doesn't}}
17:16.38Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:{varName|
17:16.38morgoth1145right?

17:29.31EulaliaI've never had to do much with 'em
17:33.08morgoth1145'cause I'm trying to make a template and have a few issues to work out
17:34.16morgoth1145tries something else...

17:40.19morgoth1145That's what I'm working with, doesn't it give you a headache?
17:41.07Osethat thing? but it's so simple...
17:41.46morgoth1145sighs
17:41.53morgoth1145Parenthesis...instead of brackets...
17:41.57morgoth1145no wonder it wasn't working...

17:43.50Oseit's still a kinda simple code, though very repetive
17:44.06morgoth1145I know
17:44.36morgoth1145however
17:44.46morgoth1145you don't know exactly what my aim was

17:47.10morgoth1145or the sandbox?
17:47.21morgoth1145it's not quite what I was aiming for, but it's working, for the moment
17:48.00Osethe deletion
17:48.44morgoth1145Anyway, how do you like the sandbox demonstration?  It's utilizing {{Navbox/Param}}, which is instantiated in {{Navbox/Test}}

18:03.59morgoth1145Oo, getting there!
18:04.07Eulalia\o/
18:05.25morgoth1145Just one issue left
18:05.27Oseare the boxes on http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Main_page_redesigning_project TOO neutral?
18:06.31morgoth1145Colored, you mean?
18:09.55Oseyeah
18:10.10morgoth1145Looks good to me
18:11.29morgoth1145Ose: Could I recruit your help for a moment?  Just one issue left on {{Navbox/Param}}
18:11.29Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Navbox/Param
18:12.02morgoth1145If no param is given, I'm trying to get it to just be one box, instead of one with a sub-navbox
18:12.10Oselet me see
18:12.14morgoth1145I think the issue is in the first if, but I'm having no luck fixing it
18:12.37morgoth1145It works perfectly if a parameter is given
18:24.25morgoth1145Ose: Any luck?
18:25.53morgoth1145wait...
18:25.55morgoth1145has an idea
18:26.49morgoth1145Wow...
18:26.56morgoth1145the problem wasn't {{Navbox/Param}}
18:26.57Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Navbox/Param
18:27.01morgoth1145It was {{Navbox/Test}}

18:58.57morgoth1145pokes Ose
19:01.15Osesorry was afk
19:02.16morgoth1145Ah
19:02.18morgoth1145well
19:02.20Oseuhm, why use {{{param}}} instead of just {{{1}}}?
19:02.21DottedOse meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:{param, http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:{1
19:02.37morgoth1145I'm not anymore
19:02.42morgoth1145I just changed that
19:03.29morgoth1145Navbox/Param needs to use param, though, but that doesn't really matter.
19:03.32morgoth1145Like it?
19:05.17Osesure
19:05.48morgoth1145Good, 'cause that was a decent amount of work
19:06.09morgoth1145We can use {{Navbox/Param}} and {{Navbox/ParamChild}} for the other navboxes, now
19:06.10Dottedmorgoth1145 meant: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Navbox/Param, http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Navbox/ParamChild

19:46.14morgoth1145ouch
19:48.05morgoth1145Btw, would you mind writing documentation for {{Navbox/ParamChild}} and better documentation for {{Navbox/Param}}?

19:50.10Oseuhm, I don't know what they're for?
