Interwiki links to Gamepedia wikis

I want to know how to link to a Gamepedia wiki without having to use external links. Thanks! —Naista2002 ᐸ Talk

Every wiki should have the gphelp prefix to get to this wiki, where you can then use any prefix in Special:Interwiki which has the "forward" setting. E.g.: gphelp:goatsim:Space. That is also the only gamepedia wiki on there... so it's not actually very useful yet, but hopefully the rest can be added. –Majr ᐸ Talk

A don't know that there are any plans to have all gamepedia wikis ever appear in the interwiki list. The list is not centralised so would have to be updated on every single wiki — Game widow ^(talk) 14:53, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Where to find help for scripting

I've gotten fairly good at simple editing processes; however, I am interested in something more dynamic but don't know where to look, or who, or even if a possible forum exists for discussion.

Are there dynamic mouseover commands that can be embedded in the script such that when the person mouses over something, it could modify some text color between some theme background and something visible, a form of invisible/visible text? Example... User chooses one of a multiple choice response, the (textcolor) response "Correct" or "Try Again" is changed from the default background to something visible.

I'm thinking specifically of the Lore section for Star Trek Online. If the responses "Correct" or "Try Again" were the same color as the background, they would be 'practically' invisible, then possibly a mouseover would dynamically modify the text color (temporarily) to make the text visible. That way instead of always seeing the correct answer in the third column, a person could hazard a guess and thus enable a feedback learning process. After all, no faster way to learn something than to try and realize you really already know it.

So, is any such dynamic scripting available for something like this, where could I learn about it or who could I ask? Thanks so much, in advance, for any consideration for help.--Cyberchip (talk) 14:38, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

You can create classes which behave differently on hover. You can play around with this in your personal css for any wiki (Preferences, Appearance tab, Custom css radio button). Also, for the STO wiki in particular, you should have a chat with oOeyes — Game widow ^(talk) 14:44, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, community. Can you help me? What the font is used in Gamepedia Help logo (Wiki.png) and in some videos as a title? ← Alex Great ^talk 14:21, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

trouble-shooting slideboxlightshow inside an if-statement

I'm creating an infobox for classes (referred to as "patrons") over at the Soda Dungeon wiki, called Template:Infobox_patron. Some classes have two appearances of light or dark skin, but some classes only have one appearance. Links are being blocked or I would link straight to it.

I'm trying to use some nested if-statements to determine whether the variables image1 (light skin) and image2 (dark skin) are present. If both are present, then I want the Extension:SlideBoxLightShow to juggle them on the page. If only one image variable was used, then I just want that image in the infobox. If nothing is present, then it includes the category "Infoboxes lacking images".

So far it works fine if only image1 variable is used. If image 2 variable is used, nothing is displayed. Any help is appreciated! Kraygor (talk) 22:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

advertsiments

Hi, on the pages I read on minecraft wiki, see I some ads even while I have PRO (usually have expired), how can I remove those, those are terrible and I are not interesed in the ads, I want to remove them completely, how do I? psl85 (Discussion | Contributions) 17:58, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello! It appears your PRO subscription has expired. Looking at your editing this past month, you should receive an additional PRO comp today that will last 3 months. When you are not actively getting new PRO comps (which happen the 1st Tuesday of each month) you will see ads. CrsBenjamin (talk) 18:16, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

@CrsBenjamin Can I do someting for the ads, or remove them using CSS? The ads thinking I are "junk" and I want to remove them. psl85 (Discussion | Contributions) 18:22, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

If you continue to be an active editor, you will receive PRO. If not, you will see ads on the site. Serving ads to users is how we pay for our staff, servers, and generally keep Gamepedia running. CrsBenjamin (talk) 18:25, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
