My work: Template:Species, Template:Ecosystems

Extant / Extinct Problem
Extant and Extinct will not show up anymore in the species templates.

Hydromancerx 18:16, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * Working on it. Mason11987 21:39, 29 June 2007 (MDT)
 * Done. Mason11987 21:50, 29 June 2007 (MDT)

Taxonomy Breaking the Box
When the taxonomy fields are filled in the break up the template box. See Protosagana for an example of it.

18:16, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * This seems to be working now. At the moment Template:Species requires all taxonomy be filled if any is.  If you'd prefer me to change that, I can do so.  Also, don't put in Quote marks. Mason11987 22:02, 29 June 2007 (MDT)

Habitat Also Breaking The Box
Habitat doesn't want to auto-wrap in the template box, either. See Roaming Plent for an example. The code used for it is as follows: - Somarinoa
 * habitat    = Hydro-Nuke Savanna
 * habitat2   = Wright Rainforest
 * habitat3   = Nuke Swamp
 * habitat4   = Ovi-Hydro Plains


 * Fixed. Mason11987 21:59, 29 June 2007 (MDT)

Creator's Creations
Next to a Creator's name there is a hyperlink that says "more". Except its left red and will not show all the creations specifically Somarinoa made.

Hydromancerx 18:16, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * It shows all his creatures. It's red because the page itself - Category:Species by Somarinoa - hasn't been made yet. Mason11987 22:08, 29 June 2007 (MDT)

Week and Generation
With he new Week/Generation field nothing shows up. If you go to the week page or the generation page no species shows up anymore.

18:17, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * Explained. Mason11987 00:54, 30 June 2007 (MDT)

Ancestor / Decedents
Protosagana's decedents were put in but they do not show up. However if you go from the decedents they do go backwards to the ancestor.

18:17, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * Descendants will come soon. Ancestor(s) should work perfectly now. Mason11987 00:54, 30 June 2007 (MDT)

Gen 55
I put in the code for generations with the little ## for the number and it links back to the page below but gen 55 is not showing up (which was the link i lciked on with the code)

http://wiki.sagan4.com/index.php?title=Category:Generations

What did i do wrong?

Hydromancerx 18:16, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * When I said use ##, I meant replace ## with the corresponding numbers. Like 1 would be "01" and 10 would be "10".  I changed it. Mason11987 17:26, 30 June 2007 (MDT)

Some creatures aren't showing
I attempted to add a creature Protokrakocia Pentapseudoflagellis, it's a week 1/gen 2. It was already listed (added) but is not showing up in the week 1 list, the gen 2 list or under creator Krakow Sam. I added one of Oviraptor's, Goliathpseudopodia and it seemed to add just fine. It show's up in all the lists. Is there a reason some of these aren't showing up on the lists? I notice that Krakow Sam has several not showing up. LadyM 19:36, 30 June 2007 (EST)


 * It's because the name in the name= field wasn't exactly the same as the page name. I'm editing the creature creation inputbox so that that can't happen again. Mason11987 17:44, 30 June 2007 (MDT)

Lower Case Mistake
A name was put in by mistake with a lower case "f". How cane we fix it to be a capitol?

 * 'Move' tab only available to sysops (and perhaps other users after some time limit). I moved it. Mason11987 01:18, 1 July 2007 (MDT)

Template Request
Yokto: You should put the spacing right after the = and you need to put a comment on where to write in the description.

Info Box Colors
While the boxes you made are wicked cool, the ugly gray color you chose for them isn't so great. :P I was fiddling with colors and this color looks much better, in my opinion. I'm not sure how to do it, but how can all the pages be changed so that one doesn't have to go to each page and change each one? (And if it IS possible, tell me how you did it, don't just do it, cause I want to learn how to do things, too) --Oviraptor 10:23, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * Well... I made it so that the color can be optional, for each page. There are a few options we're left with:


 * 1) We can change the Template:Species so that the "backcolor" property is ignored, and it just puts in the color of your choosing (#CEC1F9)
 * 2) We can change remove the color from each option and then change the default to the color of your choosing
 * 3) We can leave the default as is, but change each page to the color of your choosing.

What it would require


 * 1) Editing Template:Species which is perhaps the most complicated template I've ever made. Doing "Ctrl-F" to find this text    and replace it with , then removing the references to a "backcolor" option in the documentation (the stuff within the   tags.  Might want to also do the bulleted thing below.
 * 2) Same as above, but replace  with , then update every page in the Species Category.
 * 3) *I (or any admin) can also change this and this. The former is what is automatically pasted into your textbox when you use the inputbox on the main page (we can remove the #BBBBBB) and the latter is the instructions shown on the page about the textbox when you use that inputbox (we can remove the #BBBBBB from that as well).
 * 4) Would just require updating every page in the Species Category, and we may want to do the bulleted option above.

1 is by far the simplest, but the other choices are do-able as well. Mason11987 11:52, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


 * Well, KISS, right? Just about everything you said went over my head, but that's okay, that's what learning is, right? ;) So I'd go with one, is that's the simplest. --Oviraptor 12:05, 1 July 2007 (MDT)

User list link error
Just so you know, I know you were testing there. I'm still working on the php code, no luck yet. I've been testing the sample to see if it works. --LadyM 17:51, 1 July 2007 (MDT) I fixed it, it works (the extension file), go try it!! --LadyM 18:45, 1 July 2007 (MDT)

Extra Category
There is a biome category that is not supose to be there. As you can see it was put in by mistake and is fixed for the creature but is still left over. How do you get rid of those categories?

There is a _ between most of the hyperlinks with 2 words.
