Could you help me on a template ?

Hello, I am contacting you because you say you're a master at templates. I've got this one at User:Rosenknospe/Sandbox3, it's behaving strangely. Whenever the Year parameter is removed from a table, the last column is either not vertically centered or completely non-existent (as in, overwritten by the ShortSummary field). There's an example at User:Rosenknospe/Sandbox2; watch how the first table, which has no Year parameter, is broken, while all the other ones, which do have that Year parameter, are OK. Hersfold was close to banging his head on the wall at the sight of this. If you could be so kind and have a look at it, I would be very grateful. Thank you, merry Christmas :D Rosenknospe (talk) 11:53, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Just: wow. I knew I didn't really understand what I was doing when I stole the code from Template:episode list, but now I see I don't understand what I'm doing at all, so I'm very lucky I've found you. Thank you, thank you so much for rewriting the template, it gleams with polished excellence to my heathen eyes.
I have copied your code at User:Rosenknospe/Sandbox3 and tried to add more parameters, please feel free to have a look. I have added Race and Allegiance as you suggested, and also three "auxiliary" parameters that can be customised for whatever purpose a particular franchise would have. I have also altered the second format so that it also shows titles and episodes as I deal with characters who are featured in both movies and television, and also added quotation marks to the episode names because that's the offical formatting. It doesn't work (of course ;) but I don't have time to test it now, I'm just here for a quick session. I have no idea about other layouts right at the moment though, so feel free to add the ones that come to your mind. If we're (well, you are, actually) going to get that template working, let's do it so other people can use it as well.
I should really learn more about template code. Is there a tutorial anywhere ? Unfortunately I won't be able to be back online before Wednesday (It's Christmas time and I've got a family). Thank you again for your unvaluable help, and happy New Year ! Rosenknospe (talk) 17:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you again for your answer. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to work on it, I'll do it next weekend. Have a nice day. Rosenknospe (talk) 19:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops on my user page

I was rearranging my user page now that I've developed an addiction to userboxes, and I once again have a problem. The "My" in "My Sandbox" has wandered! I tried a few different things, such as <br> before the My, but to no avail. I tried putting a space before it to make my old friend, the mysterious blue box, corral my sandbox link out of the way. It only made matters worse. Any suggestions?Happymelon 23:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)SkyllaLaFey —Preceding unsigned comment added by SkyllaLaFey (talkcontribs) 19:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC) (I did try to sign this, but received a message that someone else was editing this page at the same time, and it stamped this as unsigned.

Eek! I see what happened. If I had not received the editing conflict message, I would have assumed that it was something I did from the start, but the edit warning threw me off the trail. In regards to my user page; if you look at it, the word My is all alone on the left side of the screen before my userbox collection, and then below the boxes it says Sandbox User:SkyllaLaFey/Sandbox. In the edit screen it is all together, but I know that doesn't mean much. I am still getting used to how different things behave in their "raw" form when you are editing. An example: I discovered that to have my "language" boxes to the left of my "interests" boxes, I actually need to put "interests" before "language" in the edit screen. I instinctually assumed that Top to Bottom = Left to Right on the screen, and I now see that I need to eliminate many preconceived notions if I want to master the ability to edit and use markup. I'll be spending some time in my sandbox soon so that I can better control the outcome of my edits.SkyllaLaFey (talk) 18:58, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just recently promoted List of poker hands to Featured list status, congrats! I just wanted to let you know that your list started the New Year as being our first Featured List of 2008! Keep up the good work and lets make 2008 a great year for Wikipedia!

FACs

Hi -- I just wanted to let you know that having more than one simultaneous FAC is discouraged, at least until you have gained some supports on the first one. You may want to withdraw one, and resubmit it soon; or have someone else nominate it with you as a conominator. Also, a quick note: you may want to correct a spelling error: "defys" should be "defies". Good luck with both nominations. Mike Christie (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedits

I'll be happy to copyedit; I'll start with the Emma Watson article first. --Malachirality (talk) 05:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Emma Watson

Everyone is rushing to help, I see. I just finished my copyedit of Emma Watson, and I see at least two others working on it in addition to Malachirality (talk). As I said on my talk page in response to your request earlier today, I'm going to be away from the Internet except possibly for brief periods until Saturday or Sunday. It appears that you have lots of other expert help, though. Finetooth (talk) 05:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Welcome

I am glad to see you have come around a little closer to my way of thinking. I am not surprised you find some of my edits too drastic, and I also readily admit that I do not have all the answers as to what makes a good wikipedia article. I am sure there is a compromise to be reached and that some of those "tooth and nail" sections can make it into the final version. As I stated on the FAC page, I am now done with my initial revision and would welcome feedback on the talkpage of my version of the article. Indrian (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wicked FAC

Awesome! I've completed the FAC template and what-not - I've edited your comment to read "Co-nominator"...

I'll see what I can do once I get home - bizarrely enough I'm in London at the moment, and have just spent the evening at... Wicked!

Template weight TfD

Hi Happy,
All instances of {{weight}} in the main space have been converted to {{convert}}. So many directly linked pages were your main objection. Now there are no more links. So perhaps you could reconsider your strong keep vote. Regards, 18:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
