== Broken Signature ==

Hey, I noticed your name on [[Wikipedia talk:How to fix your signature]]. I was wondering if you could help me out. Do you know what is wrong with this signature: <nowiki>[[User:Arbitrarily0|<font color=#3B444B>'''''Arbitrarily0'''''</font>]] </nowiki> - I get the message "Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags" when I try to put it into my preferences - do you know what's wrong? It should look like: [[User:Arbitrarily0|<font color=#3B444B>'''''Arbitrarily0'''''</font>]] (in grey). Thanks for your help. [[User:Arbitrarily0|'''''Arbitrarily0''''']] 16:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

== Welcome and note on the chess templates ==

Hi, Just noticed the article [[Andrei Kharlov]] and the stencil you made. Great work on both! A little note though, usually we link to fide and chessgames using the corresponding templates, eg for [[Andrei Kharlov]] this is done like this:

<nowiki>
{{chessgames player|id=65225}}
</nowiki>

<nowiki>
{{fide|id=4102185}}
</nowiki>

I have updated the article accordingly, perhaps the stencil should be updated too. The fide template came in handy recently, as fide reorganised their website, we only had to update our template, instead of updating 100s of articles! Welcome to the wikiproject chess and happy editing!! [[User:Voorlandt|Voorlandt]] ([[User talk:Voorlandt|talk]]) 22:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== Upload of photographs ==

Hi! Thanks for your great work on chess related articles. I think there might be a concern with the photo's you are uploading. Currently, you are tagging them as released under "GNU Free Documentation License"; however on the websites they come from, I cannot read that they are released as such. Wikipedia is normally very strict on those things [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-internet&wpUploadDescription={{Information%0A|Description=%0A|Source=%0A|Date=%0A|Author=%0A|Permission=%0A|other_versions=%0A}}] (ie an admin can come along and remove all your uploads). If you have questions about it, I am perhaps not the best person to talk to, but it would be a good topic to raise at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chess]] Best regards, [[User:Voorlandt|Voorlandt]] ([[User talk:Voorlandt|talk]]) 21:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
: When I upload pictures, i usually take the safe road, ie uploading pictures for which the copyright has expired (lifetime of author +70 years), and when I do so, i upload them to wikimedia commons, so that other wikipedia's can easily use them. To see the list of what I have uploaded recently, see here [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Voorlandt]. A good example is this: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Chesscongress1857.jpg]. Other pictures I have uploaded are from flickr (as some of them on that website are specifically tagged with the License (cc-by-sa-2.0), for example [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Jude_Acers.jpg]. One other way is to specifically ask the author of the picture to release it in public domain, as I have done for this one: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bughouse_game.jpg]. Anyway, it is good you start a topic on the wp chess talkpage, as I am not an expert on what is best to do with pictures found on random websites. Best regards [[User:Voorlandt|Voorlandt]] ([[User talk:Voorlandt|talk]]) 21:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


==Hello, Fellow de-orphaner!==
[[Image:Nuvola folder home.png|right]]I noticed you added your name to the list of participants in [[WP:O|WikiProject Orphanage]]. We really appreciate your help! The first things you could do to get started with us are:
#Read the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage]] page, especially the section marked "[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage#Criteria|Criteria]]". The page contains a lot of good advice to get you started, as well as the standard procedures we are using to de-orphan articles.
#Look at {{tl|orphan}},{{tl|do-attempt}}, and {{tl|articleissues}} closely and make sure you know how to use them correctly. (It's not difficult, but it is easy to screw up. Trust me, I have.)
#Keep de-orphaning! [[:Category:Orphaned articles]] contains all orphaned articles organized by month. Right now we're just trying to keep up with all the new orphans being created, so please start with the current monthly category. Once those are cleared out, we can start working on the backlog in reverse-chronological order.
:Of course, you may have already known all of this, in which case sorry for the spam. Either way, let me know if there's any way I can help you contribute more to the project!--[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 19:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
::By the way, I didn't leave that message. I just substituted it. When I first tried to leave you a talkback note, it wound up dumping me into [[Template:Welcome de-orphaner]]! --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 19:55, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

That looks like it works. Sorry about that, sometimes the newlines work out kinda weird. If you'd like, I've got some more information at [[User:Hersfold/Adopt/Templates]] and [[User:Hersfold/Adopt/AdvancedTemplates]].

:For some reason the code's not operating like one would expect it to. I have fixed it, and copied the fixed code onto your test template, but it's a bit of an ugly fix. All the #if: statements have to be nested, so you end up with a jillion } things at the end of the code. If you change anything, make sure you get the count right or the template will explode.

::Well done to you as well! That looks like a well-planned template. Good work on that, and thanks for the star!

::Well, I found the problem, and know how to fix it, but you're not going to like it much. I tried to stick the template into my sandbox, and then subst: the code to see what was going on, and instead of getting fewer error messages, I got a lot more - [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hersfold/Hersfold%27s_Sandbox&oldid=245022541 see]. Fortunately, it tells me what went wrong. You've written a template that's so big, it hits the template limit. [[Wikipedia:Template limits|Template limits]] are one of the cases where [[WP:PERFORMANCE]] can be seen in action. Making a massive page, or one with a lot of templates, is a potential way to break the wiki, but the developers have thought of it and set up these limits to prevent it from doing just that. Unfortunately, in the process, they occasionally break templates which can cause pages to explode as you've seen. Each page is limited to about 2 MB of content. When a template is transcluded, it doesn't take up a lot of space itself, and only shows a few bytes' difference in the page history. However, when the page is displayed, that template is expanded into what it actually is. So, the edit box won't have a lot of stuff in it, but the page itself can be huge. To prevent them from getting too huge, any template that will put the page over the set limits will not be expanded in this manner. Your template apparently does that around parameter 38, and so is regrettably useless beyond that point. On very large pages, it's very likely the problem would occur sooner.
::I did a little work earlier trying to make the template more efficient, and will do so again in a moment, but we can only do so much, unfortunately. It'll probably have to be cut down to a maximum of 30 parameters to be of any practical use. Sorry.

:::Nope; since the page is only loaded once, it's not possible to do any sort of iterative or recursive function on the page without javascript, which can't be embedded into a page unless the devs set it up to be part of the wiki software, like the sortable tables. I've actually tried to set up a recursive template, but the devs have caught onto that as well and set the software up to detect and stop template loops. Sorry.
