Your signature

Hello! I noticed your signature on a post by you on the Teahouse and I use similar parser functions in my signature on http://ddowiki.com/page/User_talk:Technical_13 and would like to help you fix up your signature a little... :) You're currently using:

[[User:TechFilmer|TechFilmer]] - [[User talk:TechFilmer|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|User talk:TechFilmer|Thanks for coming by my talkpage!|{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|User talk|Please reply on '''my''' talkpage|Feel free to drop a message.}}}}]]

I suggest modifying this to:

[[User:TechFilmer|]] - [[User talk:TechFilmer|{{SUBST:#ifeq:{{SUBST:FULLPAGENAMEE}}|User_talk:TechFilmer|Thanks for coming by my talkpage!|{{SUBST:#ifeq:{{SUBST:NAMESPACEE}}|User_talk|Please reply on '''my''' talkpage|Feel free to drop a message.}}}}]]

This uses a couple of tricks and other functions. First, for your username, you would be using the pipe trick which basically returns the pagename without the namespace in this case. Secondly, I've gone through and prepended a SUBST: to all of your magic words and parser functions so that only the one that is selected and displayed on the page will actually show up in the edit box on that page for all subsequent edits. Try it out and I'm pretty sure that you'll like the new version. This version of course does use 252 out of 255 available characters, so expansion would have to be considered carefully. There are a couple of workarounds for that as well though. Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 16:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it does not utilize {{subst:____}} is due to the fact that the code is located at user:techFilmer/sig. However, i will implement parts of the new version you have provided me with. Thanks! TechFilmer - Thanks for coming by my talkpage! 17:07, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was a workaround I was alluding to above. {{subst:____}} still works from such a page and makes the resulting output look much better. You should also be aware of that WP:SIG#NT discourages that sort of thing and I recommend if you wish to continue doing that, you should request some kind of page protection for your signature. Anyways, use what you like from my suggestion and happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 17:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'll just move to code to a js page. As for the {{subst:____}}, one would have to place a bunch of <noinclude> tags in there, thus making it one of the reasons I am not doing it. However, I will still take into account what you said. Thanks! TechFilmer - Thanks for coming by my talkpage! 17:21, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually short enough to not need to use a "User template" page. You could put it right in your preferences. If wrapping it in <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags is your only concern, I would be happy to do that for you (I have a shorcut button that inserts <noinclude>SUBST:</noinclude> for me in one click making it super easy). Just let me know. :) Technical 13 (talk) 17:28, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have it in there because my former sig took up much more space. The addition <noinclude>...</noinclude> is not my concern, if I ever edit it I find it a pain to look through the tags, however, I may use this:

[[User:TechFilmer|]] - [[User talk:TechFilmer|{{SUBST:#ifeq:{{{1}}}:{{{2}}}|User talk:TechFilmer|Thanks for coming by my talkpage!|{{SUBST:#ifeq:{{{1}}}|User talk|Please reply on '''my''' talkpage|Feel free to drop a message.}}}}]]

which is much easier to read when coding. In my preferecnes I would just have to add:

{{subst:User:TechFilmer/sig|{{subst:NAMESPACE}}|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}

and I would be done. TechFilmer - Thanks for coming by my talkpage! 17:36, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That will work for you... I still suggest making it easy and if you are going to subst: your signature in, I would use:

[[User:TechFilmer|]] - [[User talk:TechFilmer|{{<noinclude>SUBST:</noinclude><!--
--->#ifeq:{{<noinclude>SUBST:</noinclude>FULLPAGENAMEE}}|User_talk:TechFilmer<!--
--->|Thanks for coming by my talkpage!<!--
--->|{{<noinclude>SUBST:</noinclude>#ifeq:{{<noinclude>SUBST:</noinclude>NAMESPACEE}}|User_talk<!--
----->|Please reply on '''my''' talkpage<!--

-->}}]]

Your /ref page

I hope you don't mind, but I added the ability to reuse references and changed <references /> to {{Reflist}} as I feel it is more efficient. I noticed you like userboxes, and you are welcome (of course) to use any of the ones I created. Happy editing!! Technical 13 (talk) 19:26, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I don't mind. I actually created that so when I review pages I could type {{User:TechFilmer/ref}} and they could have a quick and simple guide. If you have any other ideas just tell me and I can make a guide for them. I do like UBXs and if I need to I will use one of yours. Thanks for all of your help!

RE: White rhino

The way I see it, if you want to get rid of clutter, start with some of the pictures essentially showing the exact same scenarios. How many pictures of rhinos grazing or wandering are needed exactly? Thanks for retaining the comparative photo by the way. Mariomassone (talk) 20:21, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hey there! I'm glad to see that you moved the coding for your user page to a .js page (which doesn't render). That is probably the best way to reduce the issue of it violating WP:SMI when viewing diffs or trying to edit it. Looking good! Technical 13 (talk) 11:49, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
