[edit] Archive box

Please note that some articles have additional information in their "manual" archive boxes, such as date ranges, issues addressed within the archive and so on. I have reverted your change in the archive style at Talk:Albert Einstein (I hope you don't mind). Anyway, I trust you will use sound judgement on whether an automatic archive box works for a particular talk page or not. Cheers, Silly rabbit (talk) 04:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I updated Talk:Albert Einstein to use the "archive banner" template again. I think you'll like the improvements I made. Thanks for your suggestion. Timneu22 (talk) 14:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Silly rabbit (talk) 14:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] After section edit, return to section

{{helpme}}

I have asked this question all over the place... surely someone must know the answer... http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6987

Timneu22 (talk) 17:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I administer my own Wiki, and I return to the edited section, or at least the first section with the same header text. What version are you running? Have you customized the URL at all? Bovlb (talk) 23:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
The primary wiki is on 1.9.3. (I have another wiki on 1.7 or something; same behavior.) There is some customization, but nothing related to this. Where do I even look in the PHP files? I'd just like a place to start! Timneu22 (talk) 03:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm. Let's start with the URL. Do you end up with a URL with an anchor fragment in it? Bovlb (talk) 04:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
No. It shows:
  • http://wiki.mysite.com/wiki/index.php?title=Some_page, not:
  • http://wiki.mysite.com/wiki/index.php?title=Some_page#Prev_section. Timneu22 (talk) 15:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
It could be a technical problem.--Sunny910910 (talk|Contributions|Guest) 05:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
This happens without customization, for two installs. I'm sure there's some php setting that differs, but I don't know where. Timneu22 (talk) 13:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the {{helpme}} template, as this is not a question regarding using Wikipedia. Greeves (talk • contribs) 18:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long to follow up. Is it possible that you're creating sections with <Hn> tags instead of the wiki === headers? I think that that might cause this effect as they don't behave quite like normal sections. Bovlb (talk) 23:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

No. Always using wiki syntax "==". Timneu22 (talk) 16:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
When you go into section edit, and view the source, is there a line like:
 <input type='hidden' value="4" name="wpSection" />
with some value? Bovlb (talk) 17:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, sir.. <input type='hidden' value="2" name="wpSection" /> Timneu22 (talk) 17:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

This seems to be the relevant code from includes/EditPage.php:

        } elseif( $this->section != '' ) {
            # Try to get a section anchor from the section source, redirect to edited section if header found
            # XXX: might be better to integrate this into Article::replaceSection
            # for duplicate heading checking and maybe parsing
            $hasmatch = preg_match( "/^ *([=]{1,6})(.*?)(\\1) *\\n/i", $this->textbox1, $matches );
            # we can't deal with anchors, includes, html etc in the header for now,
            # headline would need to be parsed to improve this
            if($hasmatch and strlen($matches[2]) > 0) {
                $sectionanchor = $this->sectionAnchor( $matches[2] );
            }
        }
        wfProfileOut( "$fname-sectionanchor" );

I can't really see why this would fail. I suggest that you check this code in your installation. Does this fail uniformly with every possible section content? Bovlb (talk) 18:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

This code appears in my EditPage.php verbatim. :( Timneu22 (talk) 22:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas. Maybe if you construct an example page on which it doesn't work, and paste it here, it might trigger something. Bovlb (talk) 01:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I found this, but I don't think it applies.
It doesn't apply... Timneu22 (talk) 23:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I still suspect that there might be something unusual about your Wiki content. Can you construct an example that doesn't work, and paste it here, say as a user sub-page? Bovlb (talk) 03:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean, "construct an example." This occurs on every page. How can I create an example? Timneu22 (talk) 12:06, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate that you're seeing it on every page, but I just can't shake the notion that there might be something systematically distinctive in your data. I thought we might take a page on which it happened in your system and paste it into Wikipedia as a user sub-page (deleting it afterwards, of course) just to verify that the exact same content worked in one place and not in the other. I guess you could also do it in the other direction. Other than suggesting you upgrade to the latest software version (which has been on my to-do list for a while), I'm running out of ideas. Bovlb (talk) 16:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, we are now getting somewhere. I can edit a section of User:Timneu22/test just fine. However, I copied the Rickey Henderson article to my wiki and it works like everything else... after a section edit, I'm back at the top. There must be a wiki setting somewhere, right? Timneu22 (talk) 00:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
If it's a setting, it ought to be documented at mw:Manual:LocalSettings.php or mw:Manual:Configuration settings but I don't see anything relevant. Looking at the code (my ancient version), I can't see any setting that obviously affects that functionality. Although section editing is controlled via user preferences, you must have it enabled. I have never tried the debugging parameters. Maybe you should see if they can shed any light. Bovlb (talk) 01:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chip Rawlins -Orphaned Article

Hi Timneu22 - In Feb. 07, you added an Orphaned Article tag to the entry on Chip Rawlins. It now has at least 5 other articles linking to it:Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker, Stegner Fellowship, List of Stanford University people and Laramie, Wyoming. How many linkes are needed to remove the Orphaned Article tag? Thanks!- AJseagull1 (talk) 21:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Not including one redirect, there are now 8 links to the entry. -AJseagull1 (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Looks good. Timneu22 (talk) 17:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rickey Henderson

It wasnt the batting average that bothered me, it was the highlights in the infobox, I'm trying to make it all consistant, also there reverting my edits and dont check everyting else I do like removing the color field and adding the birthplace, They need to start checking EVERYTHING before they revert--Yankees10 00:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that. I didn't see that your edits had been completely reverted. That's not right. So what do you want to do with the stats? Is .279 really the best stat to have listed there? Timneu22 (talk) 02:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah they reverted everything, I guess we should add the homeruns--Yankees10 02:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
For your tireless and exceptional contributions to Rickey Henderson, I award you the Original Barnstar. I hope my review was not overly sharp, I can definately appreciate the work you are doing there. SorryGuy  Talk  17:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry you felt like that, but frankly that is how the article came off. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but that is the effect those words leave on a reader. I'll go a direct further comments to the article's talk. SorryGuy  Talk  17:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
