== Hide and Show ==

Could somebody help me with my User boxes? Right now, I have 5 catergories of User boxes on my [[User:Chimchar monferno|User page]]. I would like the catergories to be in seperate "hide-and-show" boxes.

'''General''' hide or show

'''Wikipedia''' hide or show

Like so. Could somebody please help? (Please reply on my talk page. Replying here will not do any good for me.) [[User:Chimchar monferno|Chimchar monferno]] ([[User talk:Chimchar monferno|talk]]) 17:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the UPDC Technical Help page! Please ask as many questions as you want! This page exists only to help users with the design of their pages, not to design it for them. For that, go to Trading Spaces.


Help with user page

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to lock my user page from edits. The reason I ask is that someone placed a sock puppet banner on my page which an admin later removed on account of no evidence, yet the user continues to replace the banner. I have asked him to leave me alone. Libro0 (talk) 23:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a similar question. Someone sharing my name has now twice anonymously edited my User page to describe him rather than me. Since I, not he, am the Wikipedia User whose (slight) contributions are described there, I'd like to have the content on that User page describe me, and not him. Mark Durst (talk) 20:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are two solutions for this, you can either ask an admin to protect it at WP:RPP, or you can create a user subpage such as User:Example/userpage.js. Then transclude it to your userpage. LegoKontribsTalkM 03:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Online status

How can I get my online status, (i.e. Jkasd is currently online, or offline) updated on my user page. I don't use any of the IRC stuff. Thank you. Jkasd 04:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the easiest way to do it, is just to have a box with an image (maybe a red circle) which you change (to a green circle) manually when you log in. Im sure there is a bot that does this, I think by detecting your contributions... I will have a look and try and find it. ← κεηηε∂γ (shout at me) 10:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Found it! Try this, you dont need to use IRC - Link to bot ← κεηηε∂γ (shout at me) 12:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Thanks, but how do I set it up? Jkasd 14:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I've never used it, so im not sure... try adding [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage, then add {{User:StatusBot/Template}} somewhere. That should be it. ← κεηηε∂γ (shout at me) 15:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question about watchlist page

In the watchlist page after the user name and timestamp there is always a number enclosed in brackets. Like +29 in below example.

  (diff) (hist) . . User:Gppande‎; 05:33 . . (+29) . . Gppande (Talk | contribs) (added wiki add for project india)

Sometimes this "+" is replaced by "-". What does this number and sign signify? I found it is not the count of number of times the article was edited nor the count of contribution made by 'the' user to 'the' page. What is it? --gppande «talk» 14:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is the number of characters added (or removed) to that revision of the page. The count includes wiki-markup, whitespace, and comments; for templates and images, it counts the number of characters used to transclude them. If more than a certain amount of characters are deleted (around 1,000), the number is shown in bold red. Jkasd 14:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Where is my user page

I am living at "Norra Botkyrka" which is a new town in the South of Stockholm and also a subject word in Wikipedia English. I made some editorial additions and listed as my user name Joachim Colling and gave my email address in the page "User:Joachim Colling" because I wanted to give the original editor the chance to discuss my additions.Some changes I made were like moving a paragraph and they were listed in the history. Now all these notes about the changes were marked with (undo) and with an IP number. But somehow even my user page has vanished. I cannot find it but when trying to create a new account under my real name Joachim Colling I get the answer that this user name is already in use. Who is using it? Why has the user page "Joachim Colling" been deleted? Have I made some mistake?

Page doesn't display right when using secure server

My user page and talk page both die when it is used on the secure server. Do you think I could have some help :)? (Oh, and my userpage would look much cooler if it was able to stretch with browser size changes)--SomeStranger(t) 20:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The secure server uses a different HTML structure that messes up lot of html code. Please see WP:VPT#Front_Page_CSS_issue --GeorgeMoney T·C 20:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see now. Can I still have some help fixing the stretching on my user page?--SomeStranger(t) 01:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in my browser, your page doesn't stretch. --GeorgeMoney T·C 02:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah...that's the problem. I am trying to make it so that the main page and edits boxes fill up the space betweem the boxes on the right side and the end of the page. Is there any easy way to do that while keeping the fixed sizes of the boxes on the right?--SomeStranger(t) 04:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sharing two user pages between two wikipedias

I have a User Page on English Wikipedia. I have now registered also as a user of Hebrew Wikipedia. Is there any way to have one User Page and Talk Page for both? Can I redirect people who look at the Hebrew User Page Talk Page to my existing pages?RolandR 00:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects between wikis have been disabled. The best way to get people to talk to you on the enwiki, just say "I want to be contacted at [[en:YOUR USERPAGE|My English Userpage]]" and request that those pages be protected. --GeorgeMoney (talk) (Help Me Improve!) 02:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need help breaking my page into sections

I tried to break my user page into sections that can be hidden and shown at the discretion of the visitor. Unfortunately, I only partially succeded. The bars and fonts get smaller the farther down the page they are and the orginal color scheme of the page I borrowed the piping from bleeds through. Any idea what went wrong and how it can be fixed? Thanks. -JCarriker 07:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC) I will help this user.[reply]

Need have with layout problems

I've been working on making a floating two column page here in the hope that I can make a page that looks alright in both IE and Firefox. As you see, though, I'm having some ugly layout problems.

Two questions: Why the hell is there a blank white strip down the side of my page and how do I get rid of it? And how can I get my table at the bottom to center and the top bit go the light blue that I've specified in my code but it won't do? Please help!

Two problems

Two things:

On my About me subpage, the {{userpage}} isn't being included in the table. Can someone fix this?
For some reason, the template was displaying incorrectly (meaning it wasn't included in the table) in Firefox at the bottom, so I moved it to below the navigation bar. — S.D. 20:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like my image to be at least 100x100 pixels, but the user infobox is defying this and made it very large. (100x100 is the liveJournal userpic size). Elle Bee 17:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inexplicable 'gap' between userboxes

Hey. I've got my userboxes organized the way I like them, but I found that in the "My Politics" and "My Spirituality" categories of userboxes, there's an inexplicable 'gap' between userboxes. I've tried fooling around to eliminate that on my own, but I end up getting two or more userboxes pushed over to the right or even overlapping inside the box-category I have. Any assistance in getting that cleaned up would be much appreciated. --Micahbrwn 20:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you using Internet Explorer? The user page looks fine in Mozilla Firefox. S.D. 22:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah there was a problem in IE with 2 whitespaces appearing below the "Denver" and "Jewish" user boxes. Didn't appear in Firefox. I removed them so hope it's OK now. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Restore deleted user pages

I've deleted some user pages in my userpage. I want restoration of that, how can I doing? Akanemoto 01:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to ask a adminstrator to restore the subpages. Cheers, S.D. 01:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aligning a scroll box

I made a scrollbox with some userboxes in it. I can't get it to align to the right side of my userpage, like how it does when you use {{Userboxtop}} and {{Userboxbottom}}. Can someone help? The Hippie 17:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope my edit helps! Cheers, [sd] 12:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am having problems with the Userboxes, found at User:Valley2city/ubx from displaying correctly when expanded. Please also see the issues when it is transcluded on my top page with text clearance problems and unnecessary line breaks. I should mention that I think the "entertainment" and "diet" sections of /ubx are the most problematic. Can anyone please assist me in this matter as I have tried various forms to display hide/show userboxes, always with similar problems. I'm having these problems using Firefox, though there are other problems encountered with Internet Explorer. --Valley2city₪‽ 01:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Diving page into two columns

Could someone please tell me the markup needed to divide my userpage into two nice collums. Thanks.ChrisDHDR   @ 10:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure if this will work for graphic intensive userpages, but you could try using the {{col-begin}} and {{col-2}} formatting. (for info on how to use that see Template:col-begin). If not, what most users do for their userpage is create a table with 2 columns. It's usually a lot easier to get the formatting right with tables. Help:Table should have the required info on how you could create a suitable table. Hope that helps. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 18:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't work

Me again. I've followed your advice, put the page doesn't wrap properly now, any suggestions??? ChrisDHDR   @ 17:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC) PS: Feel free to edit my userpage if you need to.[reply]

Snadbox help

I don't understand how to make a sandbox so I can experiment. I'm not very good at using the code here yet, and I don't really understand it. Can somebody help me get one? I just need a place to keep stuff. T.z0n3 15:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to do anything special. just got to User:T.z0n3/Sandbox and start working on something. That's all you need to do! — Andrew Hampe Talk 22:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Status buttons

I've tried over and over, and for some reason, I just can't make status stuff work for me. It's driving me crazy, because I really want one. If I could get some help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. justice 01:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use one myself, and I know that some users manually update their status page (what a pain :), but as far as I know your best option would be to use Chris G Bot 3. It replaced the defunct StatusBot.
As far as I understand it, to use it you need to first put Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot on your userpage and the bot will automatically create a page for you at User:StatusBot/Status/Tehjustice, which will be updated every 5 mins to say either "online" or "offline". You can then transclude that onto your userpage. You can also use the template {{User:StatusBot/Template}}, which will automatically add your userpage to the category and it will also add the status bot template (like here) to your userpage. The advantege of not using the template is you can then do somethink funkey with the #switch code, like I found here [2].
Hope that helps. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 02:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks all. Any other imput is welcome too. One more question. A few months ago I stumbled across a user who somehow managed to make some complicated status code that displayed different statuses based on the day of the week and time of day. (ex: This user is online, but in school, This user is offline, probably doing homework). Anyone know of any users with similar status trackers I could look at and ask for help using? If not, I think I'll use the default one. justice 02:45, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You could probably use a script with the #switch command to create such a display, i.e. the first part as to whether you're online will be done by Status Bot and the "...at school" part could be done by comparing the current time with the preset values. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 15:52, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to safely test live templates in a sandbox?

I sometimes sandbox test templates in my user pages. However, sometimes, transcluding a template automatically places a page in an article category. This is bad, as it makes my user page look like an article. For example, I have a sandbox demo of {{Ise}} at User:Hroðulf/AIlist. It makes User:Hroðulf/AIlist show up on Category:Companies listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. I wish!

How can I safely demonstrate a template in a sandbox, when that template has article categories?

--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Use substitution ("subst:"). For example, {{subst:Ise}} pulls that template's wikicode into the sandbox, where you can edit it. Then you can comment out or remove the lines setting the categories. That turns the sandbox into a template, and you then may need to test it in another sandbox (so you can pass parameters to it, etc.) The Transhumanist    11:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unauthorized intervention on my User page (foreign Wikipedias)

This is not vandalism and I don't even know what to call it (tampering?), and I'm asking here first because I'm not sure how to track down the problem where it occurs:
As I edit pages in numerous foreign languages, I've opened a User account on several other Wikipedias and created a User page with:

  • Babel boxes indicating my language proficiencies
  • Interwiki links to my User page in the Wikipedias where I'm primarily active (English, Hebrew, Simple English)

Upon logging on to several of my User accounts today, I discovered content on my User page in Spanish and Arabic] that I had not added -- and according to the pages' edit histories, there is no record of any edit adding it! In both cases, these involve the box for "Other Languages" on the left-hand navigation bar:

  • The Spanish page includes [a language that looks like] Arabic
  • The Arabic page includes Spanish

Both of these link not to my User page in that foreign-language Wikipedia, but a page within that Wikipedia for the Babel template of Hebrew level three -- though my name (User account) doesn't appear when the template (category) is selected.
I suspect that this is something malign, and I want to know whom to notify, what may/will be done about this unwanted phenomenon, and who's behind it (particularly if sanctions are in order). Thank you! Deborahjay (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've tracked this down to a particular edit by a certain editor of the he-3 Babel template on the Spanish Wikipedia. Although this editor has been dormant (i.e. no edits) for the past four weeks there, I'm leaving messages to try eliciting some explanation and treatment of the adverse results. -- Deborahjay (talk) 18:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Im not entirely sure, but i think it may be because you have added a category identifying you on the other wikis. Perhaps the boxes are carried over inter-wikis? ← κεηηε∂γ (talk) 20:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is the English Wikipedia, and your issue is with foreign language wikis that we don't have any direct control over, my suggestion would be to post your question to m:Meta:Babel which is the central clearinghouse for all of the WMF wikis, including the foreign language projects. Also, I should note that the site formatting of pages and what not, does vary greatly among projects. MBisanz talk 22:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

College athletics

User:Bus2Beezlebub: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph%27s_Hawks For some reason I can't edit out the "Football stadium" on the right side. There is no football stadium but there is one for soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, etc. so I just need to take the "Football" out but it doesn't even show up when I go to edit. Any ideas?

  1. Please add new questions to the bottom of the page (goes for most of Wikipedia; there is a 'new section' button at the very top that helps.)
  2. Your question comes down to the design of the template {{Infobox college athletics}}, which ordinary editors like you and I can tweak if the rest of the community is in agreement. The place to discuss changes to the template is Template talk:Infobox college athletics. It seems to me quite appropriate to ask there if the football stadium can be made optional. Maybe they will also be willing to accommodate a shared soccer/lacrosse stadium in the template.
  3. You can see that the template is used on hundreds of articles by clicking what links here.
  4. Hope that helps. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected Sockpuppetry

Hello. My user page begins with the "Suspected Abuse of Multiple Account" and "suspected sockpuppetry" notice. In fact I did use my logged-in account and my IP address to make a point about an edit, but I was unaware of a specific rule against such an act (underhanded, I figured; unlawful, I didn't know). Can you tell me if there is some sort of statute of limitations on this notice and if there might be a period of time after which no similar act occurs and good standing is maintained, when the notice can be removed from the page and merely be archived? In other words, is there such a thing as making amends and gaining release? Thank you, Lantana11 (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Lantana11Lantana11 (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upload and Image Display

I am trying to create a user page. I am having an incredible amount of difficulty displaying a picture of myself. I had uploaded some tagged images that i didn't get a license properly applied. Once I have gotten the licensing cleared I still can't get the picture up on my user page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here is a link to the Page with the picture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Edwins_Picture.JPEG --Edwin Larkin (talk) 16:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage design help

I have an annoying "contents" box that I want to get rid of. My way of fixing it would remove the edit link in my vandal box. I want the edit link, but don't want the contents box. The same thing is happening here, as well. There is also a few other issues on that page that require minor fixing for someone experienced to look at. Also, my information box is nested in my Vandal Box box. Could someone help? Thanks, --haha169 (talk) 21:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
