[edit] WoS links

Can I suggest that you do not replace company links to WoS with the {{WoS game}} template: that uses infoseek.cgi, rather than infoseekpub.cgi, which is what is wanted for publishers? Also, your opinions on using the internal WoS ids are suggested on the templates talk page would be much appreciated. Cheers --Pak21 15:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting issues

What formatting issues were caused by the ticks used to italicsize the game titles in the WoS game template? Thanks for the great job of re-linking the titles BTW! :-) --Frodet 21:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Computer and video games based on licensed properties

Please don't add any items to Category:Computer and video games based on licensed properties that are already sorted into their respective series subcategories. This makes sorting articles into the subcategories very difficult. Your help in undoing the edits to articles that are already sorted into a game series subcategory listed in the lic. prop. category would be appreciated.

[edit] Autograph Book

Can you please sign my autograph book, WOSlinker? --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 02:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the edits

Bad habit of leaing the http in infobox templates :) Ancjr 23:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MK Postcode area

I don't understand your "is also known as the NNNN Postcode area". I've never hear this before. Is it really NNNN or is it a place holder? --Concrete Cowboy 13:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geo microformat

Please will you help to implement Geo microformat in Infobox UK place? Thank you. Andy Mabbett 22:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

a question?

Does anyone know what it is like getting the northern line in the mornings between 8am-9am? The reason i ask this is because at the moment if i catch the northern line at kings cross to london bridge, i invariably have to wait for a tube to pass before i get on due to the number of people in front of me. Is there a similar case at the elephant and castle tube stop heading towards london bridge, weekdays between 8am and 9am? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.233.128 (talk) 13:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free entry fields

I'm not sure. I haven't heard much support for adding distances to Edinburgh & London. That said, I have no specific objection to them. Maybe statistic_title / statistic would be better fields. It would give more guidance as to what kind of things should be added. It could go just after population. Now I think about it, I like this idea. MRSC • Talk 23:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grays

Are you sure the population is correct? I make it about 18,000 (though from adding 2 wards which do make up part of the town). Simply south 12:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. However, that only seems to make up one part of the town. For the current population i added on the Grays Riverside ward. I wonder if there is anywhere which actually defines the town. Simply south 19:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings, Spec-Chum!

How come you haven't yet placed yourself in the Spec-Chums category? :-)

[edit] Reverted navbox conversion on {{PHX_TV}}

Hi, I reverted your Navbox conversion as {{Navbox}} doesn't seem to handle the line breaks correctly. I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to break right, so I've gone back to the previous version until it can be fixed. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Musician navboxes

Hi there. I see you have recently created Template:Navbox music and are now converting articles for musical artists to use that template. Note that WP:MUSICIAN#Navboxes specifically recommends using Template:Navbox musical artist. --PEJL 11:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the Template:Navbox music one is a bit better than the Template:Navbox musical artist version, as it's got the subheadings built-in to the template. The parameters are also similar to the standard Template:Navbox which I used as a basis for this new one. WOSlinker 13:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

If the existing recommended template isn't good enough, then the it should be improved, or the documentation should be changed to recommend this other template. Either way I suggest you propose changes at WT:MUSICIAN before converting any more navboxes. --PEJL 13:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I've done that. -- WOSlinker 13:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Japanese N64 games

I noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal List of Nintendo 64 games they are trying to delete the new page List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games here's a link Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games to the discussion, how about giving your view.

[edit] Template:Jimmy Buffett

Is there any way to orient the top two sections of Template:Jimmy Buffett upward in the Navbox music template like they were before (like a "|above=" line would)? Your conversion to Navbox music has left a lot of unused column space in an already large template (the reason I didn't use it to begin with). Thanks. — AjaxSmack 03:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

When I created the Navbox music template, it had the groups across the top, so it looked very similar to what it did before I converted it. TigerK 69 has since been along and edited the Navbox music template so that the groups are now down the left. It may be best just to revert it back to before my edit if you would prefer it in the format it was in before.

There's also a discussion about it all at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Musicians#Navboxes which you could comment on if you want saying that the groups look better across the top rather than down the side.

Thanks for the info. I'll comment there and wait until the template issues are resolved before reverting. — AjaxSmack 20:01, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Reason?

Hey WOSlinker!

I made a Template:Sunset Beach (TV series), but you've changed it to a nav box? Why? I think it looks better smaller, not stretched? Can you explain why did you make the change? Dmarex 19:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm converting things over to Navboxes so that they are more consistent. I've changed the width back to what you had previously but still using a Navbox. -- WOSlinker 22:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry to interrupt your editting by throwing up that orange bar saying you have new messages, but...

		For a tremendous amount of edits over the last few days in Templatespace to convert templates to Navbox-form in general and large amounts of cleanup on radio station market templates, I award you the Working Man's Barnstar. Keep up the great work! - JPG-GR 19:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

You have done good job with the olympic medal templates. I hope that will remain in the articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportin (talk • contribs) 20:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: CSD#T3 templates

Heh. Yes, they probably should be merged. I'll leave a note on Happy-melon's talk page. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Figures?

Hello there,

I just wondered where it is you retrieve these figures from? I presume there is a page somewhere that tells you? I'm not saying you've made this total up, I'm just wondering so I can update it myself a little more frequently than has been the case. --Jza84 |  Talk  02:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Derry Football Team 1993

I see you've converted {{Derry Football Team 1993}} to a navbox. That's ok but can you tell me how to make it so its not collapsed by default. I think it looks better not collapsed. Thanks. Derry Boi (talk) 12:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Derry Boi (talk) 13:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New location map

Hi. I've seen you've added these to quite a number of files. May I suggest you tweak the formatting slightly? As an example, see Hay Inclined Plane. Here I have added a <BR> before the {{gbmapping}}, to force the gridref onto its own line. I think this looks neater. It will automatically cope with users having a larger-than-default thumbnail setting. Cheers. EdJogg (talk) 11:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Just another slight issue - would you mind disambiguating West Midlands to West Midlands (county) in the infoboxes please? West Midlands alone leads to a disambiguation page for the region and conurbation of that name, as well as the metropolitan county. Thanks! Fingerpuppet (talk) 18:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for doing this - it's really appreciated. I didn't know about the usage of ! before, so you learn something every day. Fingerpuppet (talk) 09:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Cornwall

Hello there,

I would be interested to know your views on recent revisions at Template:Cornwall. A discussion has started on the talk page. Thanks, --Jza84 |  Talk  11:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Todo3

Hi. I don't believe that Template:Todo3 qualifies for speedy deletion because it does provide some functionality that {{todo}} does not (namely that it can be customized to fit an alternate color/sizing scheme). But regardless of that, the template is in use. Should you ever have a need to nominate an in-use template for speedy deletion, please use <noinclude> tags around it so that every page that transcludes the template doesn't get added to CAT:CSD. Thanks. --B (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] conversion of college football venues templates

Hi, WOSlinker. Could you start checking nested navboxes conference column width in the expanded states when you do the conversion? When viewed in Internet Explorer (this does not occur in Firefox), if one of the columns is wider then 10em then the columns in the other nested navboxes (the other divisions) do not adjust and the column widths don't match and need to be told the same width. "11em" fixed Kansas and Alabama, but Louisiana required 12em. Thanks and let me know if this does not make sense. --Gwguffey (talk) 16:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I nomally just use Firefox but I'll check them in IE in the future as well. -- WOSlinker (talk) 17:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Great. Thank you for doing that. Here's a link to look at with IE to see the issue: [1] --Gwguffey (talk) 20:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Update: I finished off the rest of the templates in Category:American college football venue navigational boxes by state. Please take a look and see if I missed anything. Thanks. --Gwguffey (talk) 01:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

All looks great. Thanks :) -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Thank you for all of the work you put in to them. --Gwguffey (talk) 17:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:National basketball squad

Hello Can you add to Template:National basketball squad: v • d • e [hide] links, like the templates for Olympic champions you have done? (Template:Footer 2004 Olympic Bronze Medalists Basketball Men) Thank you Sportin 23 May 2008

I've changed the template as you request -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Good work Thank you very much! Sportin 19:09, 24 May 2008

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for fixing links from my article's (well, technically wikipedia's) Osamu Takizawa and Eiji Funakoshi. Have you fixed Mickey Curtis? That is another article I made. This whole thing isn't major, but I am fairly new here (December, 07 or January, 08), so I didn't know how to do that. Yojimbo501 (talk) 16:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
