Wikify has been deprecated

Hi Northamerica1000! Just a friendly note that {{Wikify}} has been deprecated in favor of more specific templates. Therefore, I removed {{Wikify}} from Emsworth Food Festival.

WP:Food Page

Hey, I understand that you want to help with the page but you need to pay attention before you make changes to the page. Twice you have added redundant or duplicate sections to the page, including a second related WikiProjects section and a second categories section.

Thanks,
--Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 18:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jerem43. Thanks for the input. Those links on the right-side bar sure are tiny, particularly the statistics box (they're barely readable, due to being reduced in the bar). An idea is to possibly rework the page to make it more easily readable for editors, which would likely facilitate more activity there. No hurry; just some ideas.

Working out the details at Wikipedia:Today's article for improvement

The RFC for TAFI is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the project's talk page. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. --NickPenguin(contribs) 02:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Problem with the search function for past TAFI

It looks like none of the search bars work for past TAFIs, even for the older archived articles. Must be something borked with how the search bars function. --NickPenguin(contribs) 18:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Hello NickPenguin. Thanks for the notification. If you have the time, please post this at the Project's talk page, located here Wikipedia talk:Today's article for improvement. Also, I've restored the dated nominations because it appears that they were not archived, and there may be an option of more than one article to be listed or available on the Main page, so it may be best to leave them in place for now.

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Psychonaut (talk) 09:18, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the notification. Here's the differences between revisions page: [1]. I'm hesitant to restore the information because 1) I'm unfamiliar with the topic 2) I don't know if it's true and 3) it has spelling and grammar errors 4) it is potentially contentious, and 5) it's encyclopedic value is debatable.

TAFI random article generation for Main Page

I've been trying to fiddle around with your code here and I cannot get it to display properly on my sandboxed version of the Main Page. Maybe you can look into it, that seems to be the final obstacle left to be overcome for the project rollout. --NickPenguin(contribs) 20:07, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

  • The fix for this is likely this: the code at Template:Random component main namespace needs to be utilized in user space, as it appears to not be transferable between various namespaces. In other words, you have to create a page as Template:Random component main namespace exists in your user space, from which the page reads from.

E.g. Template:TAFI Main page: {{Random component main namespace|max=7|header=|subpage=Main page queue}}
 <small>(To view another selection, {{purge|purge}} this page)</small>

Reads from Template:Random component main namespace:

<includeonly>{{{{{rootpage|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}/box-header
| {{{header|subpage}}}
| {{{rootpage|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}/{{{subpage}}}/{{#expr: {{rand| {{{max}}} | {{mod|{{#time:U}}|{{{seed|17}}}}} }} + 1}} }}
{{{{{rootpage|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}/{{{subpage}}}/{{#expr: {{rand|{{{max|1}}}|{{mod|{{#time:U}}|{{{seed|17}}}}} }} + 1}}}}
{{ #ifeq: {{{footer|}}}||<div style="clear:both;"></div></div>|{{/box-footer|[[{{{rootpage|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}/{{{subpage}}}|{{{footer}}}]]}}}}</includeonly><nowiki><noinclude>
{{documentation}}
{{purgepage}}
</noinclude>

This code above performs the randomization, and is transcluded on the top page using: {{Random component main namespace|max=7|header=|subpage=Main page queue}}.

Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 05:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Here are some additional pages that were created in order to make Template:TAFI Main page functional:

The random component pulls information from these pages randomly:

Crashplan / Code 42

Hi North. I didn't notice until now that you were the AfC reviewer of the article I helped write on Code 42 Software. I wanted to let you know I requested the article on their product Crashplan be merged with it using {{request edit}} on the Crashplan Talk page. Since the product and company combined don't exceed WP:LENGTH, I think they should be together and the merge was already proposed in a template. Cheers! CorporateM (Talk) 00:18, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
