The big yellow "you have new messages" banner was created for a reason. If you want my attention, edit this page. If I want your attention, I will edit your page. If I just want to reply out of politeness, I'll do it here and save interrupting whatever you're doing... if you're interested in what I said, watch this page and find out. If I'm keen to see your response, I will be watching your talk page, or wherever I suspect you might post it. But if you have something to say you think I need to read, the big yellow banner is kind of hard to miss...

[edit] WikiProject Food and drink

Hey. You seem to maintain WPBannerMeta. Could you figure out why there is a blank space before {{WikiProject Food and drink}} on Talk:NoitulovE or Talk:Almond ? Gimmetrow 03:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

OK! Gets hard to debug stuff when there are multiple layers of nested templates. Gimmetrow 21:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Tell me about it :D. I tried everything before doing that update: I was half intending to wait until October 31 when I could have implemented the shiny new automatic way of collapsing banners inside WPBS, but that'll have to wait. So now it (sometimes) looks a bit odd when you have WPBM banners and normal banners together inside WPBS. Can you tell me if you see anything wierd in the shell at say, Talk:American football?? Happy‑melon 21:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Um, yes. The football template is slightly smaller than the others. Gimmetrow 22:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Grrr, this is really confusing me. Do you still see it when logged out? Happy‑melon 22:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, also when logged out. Worse, the one template is about half-width when "hidden" with javascript on. That may have something to do with the lack of class= coding for the one-line hidden form. Gimmetrow 22:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Another one with a problem: {{WikiProject Rock music}}. Gimmetrow 00:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I came here to mention Template:WikiProject Rock music as well. -- Suntag ☼ 03:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmn, I can't see any issues anywhere, either in WPB, WPBS or separate. Can you provide an example? Happy‑melon 09:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Some bits of table code were visible in the template. Seems fixed right now. Gimmetrow 23:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

On Talk:Midtown Madness right now, with the banners collapsed, I only see the banner for the Video games project as full-width inside the banner shell. The Chicago and Illinois banners are half-width inside the banner shell, with the Illinois banner slightly smaller than the Chicago one. Gimmetrow 01:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page Redesign

Hey Happy-melon, I've updated my Main Page Redesign proposal substantially, and you had some really great points last time you commented - hopefully you'll see the effects of your suggestions. It would be great if you could comment on the new proposal, I'm really proud of how it's shaping up. Many thanks -- Pretzels^Talk! 08:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent changes to Template:WPBannerMeta

Just letting you know that something with the recent changes to the template have broke the notes on it, needs-infobox, attention, etc do not work now. Discussion is on the talk page Template talk:WPBannerMeta. —Borgarde^talk 05:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WBPMeta

I've left a question on the template talkpage, concerning pages like this. Thanks for your time. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 03:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Rescaled fairuse images more than 7 days old

Greetings again! Question on the aforementioned category - doesn't seem to be working correctly as of 9/29/08. I doubt that your adding the new header had anything to do with it; however, given the guru you are with these type of oddball problems, thought I'd bring it to your expertise! :) I'd like to add the "IF" >## = admin backlog template to this, but don't want to mess with the templates/headers until the other issue is cleared up. I've cleared out the several hundred that were in Category:Rescaled fairuse images; and will keep an eye on it until the dating issue is resolved. SkierRMH (talk) 05:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

There's not a lot I can do except entirely unrelated tweaks to the conditional code. Have a read of Help:Category#Adding_a_category_by_using_a_template, which should explain why pages are slow to categorise into the category. Happy‑melon 13:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
