Senoufo

Hi,

For Shempire language, could you give your reasons for wanting to merge? — kwami (talk) 21:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blackout

You can do so by adding the following to the top of the area to be blacked out:

<div style="background:#000000; border:4px solid #000000; width:95%; margin:0px auto 0px auto; padding:6px; font-size:.9em; {{round corners}}" id="mainframe">
{|style="background:none; border:0; width:100%;"  cellpadding="2px"
|-
|<div style="background: #FFFFFF; border:4px solid #000000; padding:20px; margin:0px 0px 4px 0px; text-align:center; {{round corners}}"><center>{{User:Philosopher/Header}}</center></div>

and

|}
</div>

to the bottom of the area to be blacked out. Be aware, however, that I will be restoring the old content of my User:Philosopher/Header shortly after the "official" blackout ends, so you may wish to subst: it. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} via alternate account 12:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea, unfortunately I have no idea how to do that... Pascal (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Subst:? Or the placement? You can subst: a template by adding "subst:" before it. Compare {{User:Philosopher/Header}} and {{subst:User:Philosopher/Header}}. No visual difference - it's just that if you subst: something, it throws the code from the template onto the page and clutters the page's code somewhat and that updates to the template won't be reflected on the page that subst'ed it. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} via alternate account 13:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are two caveats, I suppose - 1) the colors from other templates/images/links will show through, if they aren't removed from the page and 2) the box will only appear as long as there is text, though I think line breaks (<br> or ↵ Enter) would work for that purpose. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} via alternate account 13:07, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
