DYK for Pero Pirker

edit

On 6 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pero Pirker, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that mayor Pero Pirker was largely forgotten despite leading recovery and rebuilding efforts after the devastating 1964 Zagreb flood? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pero Pirker. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pero Pirker), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

edit

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 02:36, 21 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Script means your signature is covered

edit

I'm not suggesting you need to change your signature, just an FYI.

@Qwerfjkl: Thanks for letting me know. It could be because I use background-clip: text to create the colour gradient. Unfortunately, I don't know any better way to do this effect. Daß Wölf 17:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your signature

edit

Hi The Wölf. I quite literally cannot read your signature. You have a -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;. Please remedy this. DatGuyTalkContribs 23:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, DatGuy, are you using any uncommon userscripts or an unusual browser? The colour gradient renders perfectly on every device I've seen my signature on thus far; only the typeface ends up looking strange sometimes. Daß Wölf 16:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Seems it was my old mark-blocked script that added an opacity: 0.85. I remain suspecting that styling your signature with these attributes has a high likelihood of leading to issues, but alas. DatGuyTalkContribs 18:08, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
It happens, I have a lot of scripts too. Another user also left me a message about the signature several months ago. I don't mind changing it, but I never figured out a different way to give it multiple colours within the length limit (apart from changing colours vertically, i.e. per letter), and it doesn't seem to have affected others in several years of active editing.
