[edit] POV

POV means Point of View. The Wikipedia has a neutral point of view, I changed the article to make it also have one. ComputerJoe 21:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] #if: with HTML-Tag's

I have MediaWiki 1.82 running. I'm trying to make a template with a table. I'd like to use #if so if there is a value to add an table-line. If there isn't, I won't print a blank line.

<table class="standard">
<tr><th>test:</th></tr>
{{#if: {{{Name1|}}} | <tr><td>{{{Name1}}}</td></tr> | }}
{{#if: {{{Name2|}}} | <tr><td>{{{Name2}}}</td></tr> | }}
</table>

The problem is, that #if: parse the content as TEXT not as HTML! The result is <tr><td>Name1</td></tr> Whats wrong? Emergency144 11:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

See MetaWikiPedia:ParserFunctions#Tables for issues about tables and parser conditions. -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 12:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry that was not the solution. the #if: function is OK, but it parse the "then" and "else"-arguments as TEXT and not as HTML; emergency144 13:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I see. Okay and what about this: MetaWikiPedia:Talk:ParserFunctions##if inside table. I suggest you try to solve this problem there. Many people read that talk page. They may help you... :)) -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 17:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My reverted edit to the page Notepad

Hi, you recently reverted by edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Notepad&curid=143474&diff=88694797&oldid=88620763

This edit was completely serious and in my opinion a good idea because I recently downloaded "Finale Notepad" and looked under notepad for info on it - and found none. If you think it should be reworded or entered diffrently please say. --Flutefluteflute 12:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

The problem is, that the list of Notepads is too long: Finale Notepad, TED Notepad, BDV Notepad, Notepad++, Notepad2, ... You just can't list them all on the top of Notepad's page. Furthermore, the Notepad's page is about a software - a text editor. Finale Notepad is not even a text editor. Now the reason, why Notebook (item of stationery) is linked there is to ease the navigation of the most common users, who are usually looking for Notepad - a stationery item. -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 13:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paint by Numbers

Hello Jsimlo! Why did you remove the text about honeycomb puzzles? They are - contrary to the link-a-pix and fill-a-pix - related to the paint-by-numbers puzzles! So I do not see any reason to remove the honeycomb puzzles. Photonsoncouch 19:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I assumed that you have added that text only to post the following external link, but maybe I was wrong (See: WP:LINKS). Actually, I do not know, what honeycomb puzzles are. Why don't you write an article about them, or at least entire section within Paint by Numbers? -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 15:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your answer! You wrote that you don't know what honeycomb puzzles are. I tried to explain them in the text that you removed:
Honeycomb puzzles have hexagonal boxes instead of quadratic ones. The numbers are located at three (instead of two) sides of the puzzle. However, the rules stay the same.
If you really want me to write an entire section about them, I will be happy to do so! In a few days I will have written the section. If you know another internet site where one can play honeycomb puzzles for free (other than puzlogical.com), then let me know. Best wishes, Photonsoncouch 14:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
No harm done, hopefully. Please understand, that wikipedia si being vandalized and spamed way too often (See: WP:LINKS). I appologize for removal of your work. I admit that this time it was a mistake on my side.. -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 07:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
