Welcome
Hi, welcome to Roblox Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Graphical User Interface page.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- CatherineMunro (Talk) 22:03, November 6, 2009
Was wondering*
Would you like to help me and Trenex Here and on roblox? as a 2 class engineer? ~Alagor-Trenex~
I don't have a whole lot of time to build things on Roblox right now, but I might be able to help a bit. What do you mean by a 2 class engineer? --Ajedi32 23:44, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
Are you the admin of this wiki?
Are you the administrator of this Roblox wiki? -Conmiro
Yes I am. (PS. You can sign your comments with four tildes "~")--Ajedi32 00:49, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking···
Since you're the only active Sysop, we should have a thread in the forum where a user may nominate themselves or others for administrator privileges. Most other wikis do this, but I want to know whether the community or just existing admins should be able to decide. --PeejsterM 21:37, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- It might be a good idea. Although I am only an administrator on this site, not a bureaucrat, so any requests for adminship would eventually have to go to the Wikia staff. But yes, it might be a good idea to have a forum. --Ajedi32 22:41, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- But you're a Sysop. You should be able to promote others. Also, I made the thread in the watercooler forum.--PeejsterM 21:22, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, only bureaucrats can do that. --Ajedi32 22:33, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
Two of The Same
There seems to be two pages of the Verified Gift of Legitimacy, a Verified Gift of Legitimacy and another V.G.o.L except in lower case.
Deletion for the lower cased article? --RobouserY 18:30, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, I'll do that. Thanks for letting me know. --Ajedi32 19:55, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
Hey i can help you
My name is epicfail22 on roblox and superfail22 on youtube. im the one that sent u the pm. I can build you something if thats what you mean by 2 class engineer, but im no good at scripting. I will build you anything but something that has to have scripts. For example i will build you scenery. PM me back if you want me to build you something.
- Thanks for offering, but I don't really need anything at the moment. I don't recall saying anything about a "2 class engineer", so you might be thinking of someone else though. --Ajedi32 22:54, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
Templates
Looking at the templates in use, I think that the Object template should be renamed to Instance, and a new Object template created.
The Instance template should be used for game Instances, and have a properties, methods, and events section. The Object template should have a constructors, members, methods, and operators section, and should be used for uninstatiable userdata such as Vector3s and UDim2s.

- Ok, that sounds good. A lot of the people on this wiki aren't very technical-minded and probably don't know the difference and I have been working mostly on pages that are not scripting-related, so nobody ever got around to changing that. If you think that instances and objects would work better if they each had separate templates, go ahead. Happy editing! :) --Ajedi32 14:05, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
Patrolling the Wiki
Ajedi, is it hard keeping articles vandalism-free? With all those unregistered users, it could get very hard... Catblox 19:32, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
- So far I haven't had any problems, right now the wiki is so small that I can personally review every edit they make. =) Ajedi32 19:50, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
Do you like my signature?
Well, do you? And if you want your own, I could try to make one for you.
04:09, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- It's pretty cool, and you can make me one if you want. It's really unnecessary though, I don't really need a special signature. --Ajedi32 20:49, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
More of the same
Yeah, I got another case of double-ups (sort of), I've spotted two articles on explosions, Explosion and Explosions, now intersetingly, the Explosion article is older than the Explosions article but the Explosion article also has less detail...I just thought I'd note that out...RobouserY 08:16, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, which one do you think should be the official article? Ajedi32 20:50, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Like I said, Explosion is older than Explosions, but the Explosions article has more information, I think we could move some of the information (like the script thingy) of Explosion to Explosions and get rid of the Explosion, so that's my opinon on what to do, and that's my vote...RobouserY 10:21, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, I think I see. Explosions is talking about explosions in general, while Explosion is referring to the explosion object in specific. They might be able to just say separate. Then you could just link them together. But I am not sure if they are big enough to each have a separate article... What do you think? Ajedi32 18:20, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Adding CSS classes
I'm trying to make a general purpose code documentation template. However, my web-design background is shouting "No no no!" at putting inline styles in all my <span> tags. How would I go about defining a CSS class on the wiki? I've googled it, but all I get is wiki pages telling me about CSS.
NXTBoy 08:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know a whole lot about CSS, so I am not entirely sure what you mean. help.wikia.com has lots of information on using the wikis though, so you might be able to find what you need there. I am not really sure if wikia supports using CSS in articles or templates, but I am sure you can find the information you need in the help wiki. If not you can contact the wikia staff at community@wikia.com. Thanks for asking.
- Ajedi32 20:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- I've been poking around a bit, and it seems I would need to edit MediaWiki:Common.css. DO you have editing rights for this? If so, could you add some code to it for me at some point? That or grant me edit privs. Thanks.
- NXTBoy 16:52, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- It looks to me like that page is used to change the skin and other information for the entire site. Are you sure you need to modify that thing to accomplish what you are trying to do here? Why don't you show me what you are trying to do first before we start messing with the code that determines how the entire website behaves?
- Ajedi32 18:47, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right: it is. However, CSS can be safely appended to the end, leaving the important parts intact. Have a look at Template:Func, which can be seen in use in Cframe_(Object). At present, there are a bunch of repeated inline classes, which increases the pages load time, and makes no logical sense. I'd like to append something like this to the CSS:
.function
{
color: #404040;
font-weight: 900;
}
.function .args
{
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
}
.var
{
color: black;
font-weight:normal;
}
.var .vartype
{
background-color: #e0e0e0;
color: #303030;
border: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
font-size: 90%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: -1px;
margin-bottom: -1em
}
- Make sense?
- NXTBoy 20:31, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Yea, that sounds reasonable. Is that the exact code you want to use, or would you like to make some adjustments before I put it in? --Ajedi32 23:33, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
Lua code highlighting
Could you install the plugin at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi? It would allow lua code to be syntax highlighted in the wiki
NXTBoy 20:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- It seems that I don't have the authorization to install that plugin (it is only available on request), but yes that does seem like a good idea. I'll put a request in with the wikia staff. Ajedi32 23:39, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
