Recommended update to the deletion policy

A dozen files where deleted this morning, nothing major since they was duplicates of another file and not in use, but they didn't get flagged as {{deletion}}. I didn't think it was possible to add the {{deletion}} to the image, but you can. See the Image:Fac_fa.jpg page and it shows up nicely in the Category:Candidates_for_deletion page.

However the deletion policy isn't that clear, in it only seems to cover "articles" where it needs to cover anything in all namespaces including images and files. (Except User and User talk, since thats upto the user.) --Brammers 17:27, 5 May 2008 (BST)

Image Hotspots

Image hotspots, after you reminded me how it's done via html, I'm sure I can cook up an extension that will allow image hotspots. Been a while since I've done html hotpsots, so let me look into it and come up with a spec, and let me know of any crazy extra ideas you want added. --Brammers 20:14, 5 May 2008 (BST)

• Ok thanks for the link - I should be able to work something with that. I'll look into what Jquery can provide as well, but keep it simple for now and just do the pure html extension, then add the Jquery stuff on top. --Brammers 20:52, 5 May 2008 (BST)

• Ok done a rough spec - User:Brammers/Wiki_Map_Plugin could you have a look at it when you get a spare moment? Thanks! --Brammers 11:16, 6 May 2008 (BST)

• I think I've found a plugin that will do the work for that is very close to what I've speced out - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap I can add the JQuery bits on top of that code. (And add the spot parameter) - you think this will be ideal as a starting point? --Brammers 17:41, 12 May 2008 (BST)

Rendering issues

Ok I've had a look at my talk page, and I think I've tracked it down to your current sig doing something to upset the parser. A little Demo (Excuse me for borrowing Logans and Your sig.)

Right fixed the problem, it was yours and Logan's sigs. The wiki doesn't like parsing raw unicode characters, so I've changed them to the html codes. So δρ became δ&#x3c1 in the page; So it's all fixed, my talk page works, and so do the others! --Brammers 21:01, 7 May 2008 (BST)

Common.js

Ok, can I go through the common.js file, and take out the stuff that isn't being used, or not likely to be used. (Like most of it!) --Brammers 18:54, 12 May 2008 (BST)

Right Common.JS is cleaned down to it's bare min now. Did this a little earlier today. --Brammers 20:38, 13 May 2008 (BST)

JQuery sexyness and Imagemap

Right, got some real basic and juicy stuff in. JQuery is now part of the NC-Wiki, and we have a page to allow us to write any custom JS functions that use JQuery MediaWiki:NCwiki.js The reason it is in that file is I can't get JQuery to load before common.js, and it's probably better in it's own file. I'll be adding the code to use the maphilight extension in there. At least this way says me having to fire up the Virtual PC and Eclipse for tweaks to the pages, and messing around with Subversion. I can also look at doing your "PM me" button on user pages as well. ;)

Also the Imagemap extension is installed, totally unaltered, although I am going to tweak it slight to work well with the JQuery maphilight plugin...which I'm going to do next once I've got a basic map working. --Brammers 20:45, 13 May 2008 (BST)

Ok a little Demo - User:Brammers/Wiki_Map_Dev - Enjoy playing, feel free to edit the page, I'm off to watch SG1- The Ark of Truth, the DVD came today! --Brammers 21:27, 13 May 2008 (BST)

Have a look at Test 2 on User:Brammers/Wiki_Map_Dev --Brammers 01:43, 16 May 2008 (BST)

To answer you question, you can preview the chnages before saving, so you can see where the new map areas are and adjust if needed. Also got a few more options to add see User:Brammers/Wiki_Map_Plugin#Extra_options_to_add --Brammers 11:09, 16 May 2008 (BST)

Ok I'm done! User:Brammers/Wiki_Map_Dev#World_Map_test The Map plugin is feature complete. :) --Brammers 00:55, 17 May 2008 (BST)

Request

Delphi, you Template GURU. Could you possibly sort this page Wallpaper so it has a more friendly layout? Thanks _[admin] Logan Ford ^{• (talk)}13:54, 14 May 2008 (BST)
P.s. My sig still doesn't work :( i know Bram said the issue was the space but can this be resolved or should i just keep on typing it manually? If i click i get this,->>> --_[admin] Logan Ford ^{• (talk)} 13:58, 14 May 2008 (BST)

Small template change

Hi, slight issue with the orig_auth template - See Talk:Tatical_Mercenary_CPU_Mission The original source is a PM, so it can't be linked. Can the source be made optional? --Brammers 14:33, 16 May 2008 (BST)

WOOT!

OMG you fixed the Sig! Thanks, can;t tell you how much of a pain that's been lol having to type it all in each time hehh heh --_[admin] Logan Ford ^{• (talk)} 08:58, 21 May 2008 (BST)
