Fancy template design
Given a sequential list of possible inputs (static, stored in another template), depending on the actual input (assuming to be among the list of possibles), spit out the previous & next item in the list. If actual input is not in the list, spit out the first item in the list & nothing. Useful for navigational templates to progress through a sequence of pages not named by numbers and with minimal user input. I'm gonna give it a shot myself, but I'd be interested to see your implementation versus what I eventually get. -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 04:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * PS, for code simplicity you can assume a max list size of 10, though I'm gonna build one for 50. -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 04:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Umm, not quite "See also", but rather "See next" plus "See previous". Something that lets me progress through the pages in Toushin Toshi 3:Dungeons sequentially by just inserting a template (which reads the pagename for input to figure out what to print), so yeah, arraymapping might be what I end up using, but I would be trying to simplifying the cases inside a single switch statement instead of simplifying a bunch of if statements.  Not sure how the interactions of the extensions would end up working out.  Worse comes to worse I'd just have to break up the switch into 50 IFs...
 * Ideally, I really want something that has the elegance along the lines of the old Template:Switch (even though #switch and other parser functions were specifically invented to, as you say, push fancy stuff php side instead of using hacks). -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 05:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't officially have natural numbers to work with, not in any "regular" ways at least )-: -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 08:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

User page
General rule of thumb: When setting the background color to be something, also set the font color in the exact same CSS selector. You never know what's gonna wrap outside of it (or if the user uses the Monaco Gaming theme). Your user page is fairly unreadable as is. -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 03:26, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Hey Dantman, I'm Richard1990, part of Wikia's gaming team. I'm just dropping by to gave your wiki some search engine optimization (SEO). The main thing I wanted to do was to change MediaWiki:Pagetitle and MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage so that they include 3 keywords that people often use to search for topics related to this wiki's subject. This will improve the rank this wiki will have when people search for those terms, resulting in a growth in the wiki's community. The Magic Bullet explains this and has some more tips. You may also want to use Wikipedia's Wikia template by using it on Wikipedia's articles related to this wiki's subject. I'll also leave this message on the talk pages of the other active administrators, if there are any.

So is it alright if I edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle and MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage? If you don’t reply in a few days, I’ll just go ahead and change them. You can revert my edits if you want, but you’ll be losing out on more contributors if you do.--Richardtalk 17:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
