[edit] Memeos

Good werk /b/ruv. I've actually been meaning to attack that template and break it down into something moar useful like {{newmeme}} for fleeting or forced memes (like Apples Bear) and {{memeclassic}} (for the likes of Mudkips) since it's a big old mess and expands almost every day.

[edit] Strawman

Thanks for the heads up. I'll go ahead and merge it now and make the newer page a redirect. Feel free to contact me directly on my talk page in the future so things don't get missed. --WM 20:01, 21 November 2007 (CST)

[edit] Collapsing Stuff

The way you mentioned is how mediawiki's collapsing objects work and I chose to do it differently on purpose. The whole point is that you can customize where, how, and what acts as a collapsing link and gets collapsed. When you simply have it parse everything with a certain class, you lose all that flexibility, which was the whole reason I made it this way in the first place. We tried the one already written and it was too rigid. I agree it's not as pretty, but it lets you do a whole lot more. --WM 20:26, 21 November 2007 (CST)

• Haha you totally lost me on the walking the parent/child trees. I've seen it done but never written it before - I'm mostly an ASP guy and all of the hard stuff is done for you automatically. The primary reason was that any tag which can support innerHTML can be made into a collapsing object. I tell people to use divs and spans for the objects to collapse, but you really could use anything that supports that attribute. Let me know if you're interested in the original MW code and I can get you a link. It's actually very interesting code and does the job that they want extrordinarily well. The restrictions that mediawiki places on dynamic content make doing things a huge pain in the ass. Anyway, sorry for rambling. --WM 21:01, 21 November 2007 (CST)
• Here's their tutorial page: [1] and their common.js that has the functions: [2]. I think it's clever, but annoying to read. Then again, I'm spoiled from doing everything in C# and having most of it be automatic. I appreciate the tips you gave me, I'm going to start fooling around with the DOM and see what I can learn. Thanks! --WM 11:47, 22 November 2007 (CST)

Salambo, I haven't blanked any articles. If I have, it was on accident. - Iban
