User talk:OlivierAuber: Difference between revisions

Oliver,  we are trying out using [[article]] namespace for names, and [[user talk]] pages for message.  Nice to have you here, Best, [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

Added your question to [[WikiIndex:FrequentlyAskedQuestions]] - [[Where is the rss feed]]?

==Proposal to the WikiIndex community==

Mark, I would like to make the same proposal as the one in [http://www.WorldWideWiki.net/wiki/WorldWideWikiView WorldWideWiki], but it seems that it is not possible to transclude anything into [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]... (or to include HTML/Iframe). An other question is: [[Where is the rss feed]]? of WikiIndex. [[User:OlivierAuber|OlivierAuber]] 10:44, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Oliver, If you go to [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]], you will see an RSS link on the left hand menu.  Neat stuff you're doing too! --[[User:Rathbone|Ray]] 12:00, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Do  you have an idea about the transclude in Mediawiki? [[User:OlivierAuber|OlivierAuber]] 13:37, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Placing your questions on the [[WikiIndex:FrequentlyAskedQuestions]] - Best, [[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

Here is a little mock-up of what we may do : [http://wiki.KM2.net/wakka.php?wiki=VeilleWikiPedia VeilleWikipedia]--[[User:OlivierAuber|OlivierAuber]] 11:17, 23 Jan 2006 (EST)

You Rock!!! ;-)  -[[User:MarkDilley|MarkDilley]]

I found this alternative syndicated feed generator for MediaWiki:  https://Meta.Wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiFeeds  Maybe interesting for WikiIndex - [[User:OlivierAuber|OlivierAuber]] 18:50, 26 Jan 2006 (EST)

==[[:Category:Caricatures|Caricatures]]==

Oliver, we're doing [[:Category:Caricatures|caricatures]] for wiki people we know and would be very happy to do one for you if you wish.  Just upload or send me a pic and I'll have it done --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 03:09, 4 Feb 2006 (EST)

Elle est superbe ta photo! As-tu regardé cette page : [[WikiIndex:Nouvelle page pour vous-même|nouvelle page pour vous-même]], désormais ici nous oublions l'instant-wiki et adoptons les signatures chronodatées pour parler !

==[[WikiNode]]==  

[http://WikiNodes.Wiki.TaoRiver.net/moin.cgi/CommentConstruireLesR%C3%A9seauxWikiNodes|Comment construire les réseaux wiki nodes ?] aurait besoin de francophones. Je crois que nous avons toujours du mal à faire passer l'idée ? - Faudrait construire un gabarit français, qu'en penses-tu ? -- 09:09, 25 Feb 2006 (EST)

==Transclusion in MediaWiki software==

If you want to use something in the [[template]] namespace, you just use a double pair of curly brackets (e.g. <tt><nowiki>{{Example}}</nowiki></tt> for [[Template:Example]]). If it is some text somewhere else in the wiki, you have to provide the whole path. For example, on the [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], many of the [[editor]]s who great new editors, instead of using the default {{Wp|Template:Welcome|welcome template}}, will create a custom welcome as a subpage of their [[user page]]. If the subpage is <tt><nowiki>[[User:Example/welcome]]</nowiki></tt>, then you would transclude the custom welcome by typing <tt><nowiki>{{User:Example/welcome}}</nowiki></tt>.  

Does that answer your question about transclusion in MediaWiki software? Since I do not always visit the WikiIndex everyday, you might also leave a message at {{Wp|User talk:BlankVerse}}. [[User:BlankVerse]] | <small>[[User talk:BlankVerse|talk]]</small> 21:45, 29 Mar 2006 (EST)

:The wikipedia dispute on transclusion / templates you linked to is really a two-fold dispute, that is also mixed in with problems with some difficult personalities. One part of it is that there are some noticeable server cost to using transclusion, which can be greatly magnified with very popular templates, and / or template nesting. AFAIK this is really only a problem with large, very heavily [[edit]]ed wikis (with [[vandal]]ism exasperating the problem), which means that it probably only impacts the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia projects]] and no other wikis.

:The second part of the transclusion / template problem is that there is no logic coding currently built into templates in the MediaWiki software, so that there have been a number of different kludges that have been created to provide for some if / then logic in [[template]]s. The kludges involve either the performance hit from nested templates, or using [[:Category:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] that will break text-based web [[:Category:Browser|browser]] and accessibility software for the visually-impaired. Both solutions also break easily with any changes, and are mostly unintelligible to non-cognoscenti. Especially the people who designed or regular use those "solutions", refuse to acknowledge that there are any problems with them. The best way to go about things IMHO is to create less "universal" templates that don't require any logic coding.

:As for external transclusion, I know that many [[:Category:Websites|websites]] will try to prevent any use of elements from their websites (especially graphics files) by other websites. For external transclusion into MediaWiki software-based [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], I've seen at least one wiki that allowed referencing external graphics (sorry, don't remember which one), and all of the Wikimedia projects use the [[Wikimedia Commons]] as a semi-external datafile repository.
