Revision as of 21:53, 10 October 2008
Clock frozen
I have managed to move the clock to the right side of my userpage, however, the clock does not change, unless the page is modified, and the clock only shows the time that the page was last modified, not the curent time. Can you fix this? -- IRP ☎ 01:08, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- The clock will not auto-update; to have it display the most recent time available, one must purge the page cache. (The link for purging the page User:IRP is this one.)
This feature (the inability to have a clock self-update without refreshing) is a hinderance on all Wikipedia pages; most editors adapt such features as clocks in the user space by adding a purge link inside of the clock. You may wish to look into doing this; I can assist, if you are having trouble with the code.
Anthøny ✉ 17:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)- Can you use a "purgebot" to automatically purge the page cache? -- IRP ☎ 17:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, to my knowledge, no such thing exists.
Anthøny ✉ 18:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Can you create the bot? -- IRP ☎ 18:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, unfortunately, I couldn't. I have no time to code a full bot, and additionally, I don't think it would be a worthwhile venture. The project doesn't really need one; we cope well enough with the purge function. Anthøny ✉ 18:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Do you know of any script that can be placed on the page to automatically go to that link every minute? -- IRP ☎ 18:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- I do not, nope. Indeed, I know of no utility or method that can be used to skirt around the purge system, other than simply including a link to purge the page cache. In all honesty, one's time is best spent improving the encyclopedia and its articles, rather than perfecting a user page; I for one would be more inclined to look at my computer interface clock—or the clock that I have displayed at the top of my Wikipedia user bar—rather than on a user's page. Perhaps the clock is best as it currently is? Anthøny ✉ 18:08, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- The best I could do for now is to place an "Update" link underneath the clock. -- IRP ☎ 18:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- That seems a good solution, yes. Back to article-writing we both go, then!
Anthøny ✉ 18:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC) - For the record, the reason a "purge bot" will never work is that the cache is being purged for each user; when you click a "purge" link, you're purging your browser's cache, and unless everyone else is using your computer (which would get quite crowded, not to mention wreak havoc on CU reports), they won't see the update the same way as you. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- That seems a good solution, yes. Back to article-writing we both go, then!
- Sorry, to my knowledge, no such thing exists.

Great Sphinx warning
- This header added by AGK, for archive readability purposes. Anthøny ✉ 20:12, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Please check the discussions in Egypt talk page, and then decide, this editor is hiding facts and to perverting my nation. I was following the discussion from more than a week, can you please pass this case to an official person. --Great Sphinx (talk) 19:05, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- With respect, whether you are correct or incorrect in the argument in question is somewhat immaterial; how you communicate your views is what is important. In my opinion, you are communicating those views in a disruptive manner; that is what I am attempting to remedy here. To speak frankly, there are two options: you can chose to reform your own behaviour; or, your account can be blocked to prevent further disruption through your continued presence. It's really your call; I will assist you insofar as I am able, but the ball is ultimately in your court. You need to make a concious effort to contribute in a less "trollish" manner.
Regarding your response, above: what do you mean by "an official person"?
