Re: Needs Code Sample and stuff

Bear in mind that pages that fall under Category:Needs Code Sample may either need a sample or need an improved sample (i.e. for the sake of clarification or utility). --Heeheehee 05:19, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Oops! Originally added my response to your main page instead of your talk page. Wish I'd gone here; heeheehee's response is what I came up with to the code sample issue after checking every one of those pages. Doh!

Edit for clarity on what heeheehee mentioned above: I saw a total of two pages in the category that need improved code, rather than any code at all. Both are "holdovers" from before my formatting blitz. The code was there, so why not reuse it? However, it was a bit outdated and / or unclear, hence the request for improvement.

However, I am behind the idea of adding info somewhere on the site regarding the notepad++ styles. Just not sure where the best place would be, yet. Will probably get a hold of Bale on this, as it's kind of his "baby" anyway, and he's good with the wiki.

I appreciate your efforts to contribute. Please, however, take a look at Template:CodeSample for some do's-and-don't on adding code samples to pages. Please also keep in mind that due to certain wiki limitations, really long lines break formatting.

Thanks, --StDoodle (#1059825) 00:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I realized what i did once I saved it, but I left before saving my edited version--Icon315 03:55, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Code Sample page

Ha! I never noticed that one before. It was an "orphan" page (nothing linked to it). I guess I wasn't the first to have the idea... but that page hadn't been touched since 2007! It's gone now, to avoid confusion.--StDoodle (#1059825) 21:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem, i got bored so i just made it--Icon315 17:53, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Help Chat

I think we should have some sort of chat in which people can ask questions, like some sort of IRC. or on Skype. That way people will be able to ask the smallest questions, because i know from experience that someone might not ask want to ask those kinds of questions --Icon315 04:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Then someone would have to man the help channel. Anyway, I'm pretty sure most people ask those questions in PMs. I get a decent number of KoL Kmails or mafia forum PMs from people who want to ask help questions, but are embarrassed to ask in public. Come to think of it, that's an excellent proof that we need a help channel 'cause who died and elected me tech support? Side note: I really don't mind answering questions in KoLmafia PM's, but I hate answering tech support in KMail. --Bale 05:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

also it will take less time for people to get their answer and that way they can get the best answer every time--Icon315 05:55, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Huh, coulda' swore I already responded, must have screwed something up. Anyway, I agree with Bale's first thought; we just don't have enough people to provide round-the-clock help, and having a mostly-empty channel is just going to frustrate people. Also, the people likely to notice and go to such a channel are probably also the same people, for the most part, who can figure out answers to "embarrassing" simple questions on their own. --StDoodle (#1059825) 06:34, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

oh o.k., just making a suggestions :P --Icon315 06:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I like the suggestion, I just don't think there's a good way to implement the suggestion. Sadly. --Bale 06:38, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Added some admin guidelines on my own talk page you may want to look at. I appreciate your interest! --StDoodle (#1059825) 21:55, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
