Fair 'nuff! That article has been plagued by crapola; I didn't adequately research before I reverted. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 05:19, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Deleting the revert war text at User talk:Bishonen/European toilet paper holder was an act of pure genius! Thank you. --Theo (Talk) 16:17, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User pages[edit]

Could you explain why you made this edit? Normally, others' user pages should not be edited in this manner, although looking at your contribution history, it seems unlikely to be vandalism. — Knowledge Seeker দ 15:25, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. He was making a joke on IRC. I forgive him. :) - Mark 15:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
By 'forgive him' he of course means 'let him off with a stern warning'. ;) CXI 15:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. Thanks for explaining. Sorry to intrude. — Knowledge Seeker দ 16:05, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all. Good on you for doing an excellent job. CXI 16:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

mIRC linking script[edit]

I have benen using yoru mIRC wiki linking script and I found a few bugs. I tried to fix them but I cant find adaquate regulare expression and documentation for mIRC and also documentation for how HOTLINK works. The bugs in question are:

  • Does not seem to work if the link if sollowed by a character with no spaces (such as , or some other punctuation).
  • Does not work in query windows at all. fixed

Also if you coudl point me to some sort of decent documentation for this or maybe even a brekdown of the script in question that would rule. I read [1] but it was not really that helpful. Dalf | Talk 08:17, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Eck, sorry about that. mIRC script isn't exactly the prettiest language ever, and regular expressions are messy too. It doesn't help that I designed the script to be as small as possible for no good reason. Anyhow, when I get around to doing my next major bit of fixing on it I'll write up some kind of breakdown of how it works (if only because otherwise I'll never remember...)
Sorry I didn't reply to this until now, by the way - it must have slipped my mind when I first saw the message. CXI 13:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CXI, Just wanted to let you know I've added support for Finnish-Scandinavian characters [åäöÅÄÖ] to Wikilinks 1.3.1.

We had a problem that when trying to open links including these characters like [[Käyttöjärjestelmä]] (the Finnish word for operating system), the url actually broke down into several links and opened multiple pages in the browser (e.g. several tabs in FireFox), some of them outside Wikipedia.

I'm not that familiar with this GPL licensing, I hope my modification is Ok. The modified script can be found at Wikilinks-1.3.1.fi

I hardcoded the character replacements in the same way space is replaced by underscore. This solution is a temporary fix, I suppose the proper solution would be to dig out the character conversion algorithms / tables from where ever they are in Wikipedia, and use these to replace characters exactly the same way Wikipedia software does.

That's excellent. I'm glad to hear you found the script useful (and then fixed it and found it more useful). There are a couple of things I've been meaning to fix with it for a while now, and that's one of them. Unfortunately, I'm an exceptionally lazy person and have not yet gotten around to it.
Nice work on the modifications though - feel free to add the changes to the version on Wikipedia:Scripts if you want. Increment the version number and add your name as an author if you do. The GFDL and GPL are pretty similar, such that you should feel free to modify and redistribute in any way you feel like, provided you keep the authors' names intact somehow.

Bersirc 1.5[edit]

Hi. In the Bersirc article you wrote:

The older Delphi client, Bersirc 1.4, will continue to be maintained under the name Bersirc 1.5 and the original site has been archived by the new owner, including all the old plugins and extensions.

Where could I find information about the 1.5 client? I've been using it for a while and there are quite a few annoying quirks and whatnot, but the official site doesnt note anything about it, so I would like to know who maintains it. Thanks. // Gargaj 00:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That article desperately needs to be updated - I added info to it something like a year ago and it seems to not have been changed much since. At the time there was information at the site to that effect. You can ask on the Bersirc channel about it, but my guess would be that Bersirc 1.5 never happened, and may not happen for a long time. CXI 17:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made an improvemet to your script that allows it to function in private messages. What you want to do with it I am not sure. (I would suggest posting at WP:SCRIPT) My change was minor... a couple # was changed to *. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 05:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

; Wikilinks 1.3.1 (2???)
; (modified by Eagle_101)  By CXI, based on a script by Masterhomer
; Just hit Alt-R and paste the following lines of code into a new script.
; * Supports {{links}} and [[links]], and [[piped|links]]
; * Supports multi-word links and multiple links per line
; * Supports any Wikipedia language, but defaults to English. This can be changed with:
;   /set %wiki-lang CODE (for example, /set %wiki-lang fr will default to French Wikipedia)
; Language/project links such as [[fr:Accueil]] will work no matter what the default language is.

; If you're having any trouble making links open in a new window, try /set %wiki-uopt -n

; This script is dual-licensed under the GPL,

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Screenshot of bash.org.png)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Screenshot of bash.org.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
