- A place to play.
- A place to spawn new pages.
- A place to test what works.
Setting up for spam filters....
See whether these exist....
Setting up templates for submissions and linkings
- Template:Artifact
- Template:Event
- Template:Manifesto
- Template:Group
- ...and creating Template:Ephemera transclusion page....
Let's test it:
Testing the bigbullet css class....[edit]
Alas, all work here has been broken time and again as MediaWiki changed its mechanism for handling "skins", breaking the site each time. The text here is left for a future day when we might resurrect the css definitions in the "enkoBook" skin. Until then, edit this page for a look at history. -- Gongmaster, 2021
Use "id='ephemera'" to invoke the animated "Neoteric book" image under the cover.
Using no "id" value gives us the default background animation....
But can we override the animation by simply using the style property during invocation?
No. But surely there is some css way to do image substitution without defining style sheets for individual pages....
Well, it worked until the 1.35 upgrade[edit]
All skins are now handled differently (ugh) but maybe we can resurrect using the Gadgets approach recommended by MediaWiki.
Test that image (img) tags no longer function: <img src="http://dekal;borama.com/wikimedia/images/cincoDrop.png" alt="Attempting to place cincoDrop.png here...">
Yup, definitely and thoroughly dead.
Can't get divs to hide on hover using css gadgets. Is it even working?
At long last, yes. By rewriting it in the right place. Oh, well...
And now we'll check to see if we have stacked float issues... We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need a lot of text. We'll need even more text. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more. And even more.
...but not much more.
Shall we just try creating MediaWiki:Common.css like almost all documentation seems to suggest, despite claims of deprecation sprinkled through the [Hah!] documentation?
More convenient workspaces[edit]
Creating Collection of Gene Nichols
- Band pages
- Create a Neoteric Ensemble page...
- Create a Potato Engineers page...
To create a new_page:
- Get a login: contact us
- Edit any page (this one works)
- Type the new page name encased in double square brackets
- Save your edits (or use "show preview")
- Click the link to open the new page and start editing...
It's easy enough to be non-obvious...
Working through the Category:Diaspora:
- Anyone left?
Add link to a blank page for nominees. Removal from this list should mean a page exists!
Our video experiments dragged on and on, so now there's a separate page...
And a page for Credits: GNU licensed software, etc....
