You're fast, bro!

Keep 'em coming! Aleta Curry 23:42, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Hehe, thanks for the help! --Chris Key 23:53, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Doom approved

Hi, Chris, this Version 1.0 was just Approved. Congratulations! Hayford Peirce 18:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :D A first for me, for the Games Workgroup AND for the Video Games Subgroup! --Chris Key 18:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

helping the Constabulary

Hi, Chris, I've just created a new header on the main Constabulary page under the How to section and created the following text for it:

Citizen Chris Key [1] contributed the following information:

Each of the sections of writing on the Request Account page is held in a different place. The introductory text is found at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-text

For the other sections, go to http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages and in the box at the top labeled "Message name filter:" type in "requestaccount" (one word, lower-case, excluding the quotation marks). Do NOT click the box labeled "Show only modified". Ignore any writing with a red background (that is default text that has been changed), and find the bit you need to edit that has a green background. Then, click the link on the left of that text that begins with requestaccount- and edit the page.

Many thanks for all the invaluable help! Hayford Peirce 20:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hayford, no problem at all. Can't see where you've made the edit though, must be somewhere off of the live wiki. --Chris Key 20:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I think only Kops can access the Kop page at (removed link - it should probably be private) Hayford Peirce 20:51, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Ahh yeah, its a completely separate wiki. --Chris Key 20:53, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

World of Warcraft

Approved! Congratulations and thanks for your hard work. I do think it is something that we can all be proud of! D. Matt Innis 11:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Haha, thanks for that. Had a little brain spasm I guess! D. Matt Innis 14:15, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Hehe, no problem. happens to the best of us! --Chris Key 14:20, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

We need something like this pronto

Chris, the charter discussion page needs to be simple to add input to. something like this added to the template. Is it possible? D. Matt Innis 12:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Possible? Yes. Simple? No. It'll need to be a new template and transclude comments from subpages. Gimme an hour. --Chris Key 12:21, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I deliberately avoided this, since I find this system even more complicated than editing the table directly. But while you are over the template anyway, do you have any idea why art. 12, 36 and 51 appear in white rather than the green I had meant for them? The switch parameter is "Finished". --Daniel Mietchen 12:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
You're awesome! D. Matt Innis 12:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure what is more complicated about clicking the edit button and typing in your comment compared to editing a complex table? The latter may perhaps be easier, but only for the computer literate.
The whitespace in the middle of the #ifeq was confusing the parser. Fixed the colour thing. --Chris Key 12:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

(undent) Okay, what do you think of this: User:Chris Key/Sandbox/Sandbox. Note that I have only changed the one in the Preamble so far. --Chris Key 12:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Not quite. That's great for discussion for each vote, but I need a discussion area for the article number itself. Something below the spreadsheet that everyone can discuss in wiki style. Make sense? D. Matt Innis 13:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Better? http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User:Chris_Key/Sandbox/Sandbox#Preamble --Chris Key 13:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
YES!!!!!!!!!!! Can you get that to the Charter page.. Bwahahaha!!
Not yet. Now comes the long and tedious bit... I have to copy every vote and comment from the old template into the new system. --Chris Key 13:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
