Monobook.js
What is the monobook.js file? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ro098 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Your monobook.js file is the "skin" for Wikipedia. If you've never changed it in your preferences, the default "look" is called Monobook. There are a number of skins, each with different names. However, the coders tend only to write mods for the default, so you have to tweak things yourself if you use another skin. Your monobook.js file (js is for "java script" in case you didn't know) is at User/monobook.js . In your case, it would be here. Copy in the line, save the page, refresh the cache by pressing Ctrl-Shift-R, and you're done. Make sure you understand the policies, because it's easy to mess up and get Twinkle revoked, or even be blocked. Good luck. Xymmax (talk) 01:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I found a different way by going to preferences and then gadgets and applying it, but thank for your help.--Ro098 (talk) 20:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. It turns out that Twinkle had been added to Gadgets, then removed, then added again. Glad you got it working. You may also want to use Popups if you don't all ready, they're complimentary. Xymmax (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
What does popups do, and how do I get it.--Ro098 (talk) 21:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Last question first - it's under Gadgets a couple of spots above Twinkle. If you hover over a wikilink, it will cause at window to appear. If the link is a user link, you get a list of options involving them - talk page, contribs, logs re that user, and so on. If it's an article you get a quick preview of the lead, and a few other choices. If its a "Diff" link, you get a preview of what the change or deletion was - very helpful for vandalism patrol.

Okay. Thanks, I found it.--Ro098 (talk) 21:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Moved Millionaire articles
Hello there. I've seen you are the one who moved all the WWTBAM articles. Are you sure it is necessary to have the articles of shows which are written in the latin alphabet moved to the English name? I mean, also the local versions of Pop Idol and Deal or No Deal are listed under their local names. --Kazu89 ノート 13:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hello as well. Am I sure? No. I performed the moves because a deletion discussion was held on the Chinese version of the show here, in which a number of editors commented that the name should be in latin characters. I agreed, and checked WP:UE which suggested to me that the most appropriate article name in English would be the name to which I moved the various articles. Since I was moving the Chinese article, I just went ahead and moved all of the shows that I could find at the same time. Having said that, I don't edit in this area normally, have no special expertise in this field, and have no plans to work on these articles further. If you feel that a different name is more in keeping with policy, you have my support in a move to the proper name. Take care, Xymmax (talk) 19:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
