| Thanks for your [[Special:Contributions/Ricky Spanish|edits]]! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the '''[[Help:Game of Rassilon|Game of Rassilon]]''' with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, ''badges''. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!
| |
| | |
| We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.<br>
| |
| <span id="ssh">British English, please</span><br>
| |
| We generally use [[British]] [[English]] round these parts, so if you're [[American]], please be sure you set your [[help:spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[help:spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]].
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Spoilers aren't cool</span><br>
| |
| We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, '''you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents.''' Please check the '''[[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Other useful stuff</span><br>
| |
| Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
| |
| *[[Tardis:Help|the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Manual of Style|our Manual of Style]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Image use policy|our image use policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:User page policy|our user page policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Administrators|a list of people whose job it is to help you]]
| |
| | |
| If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! — you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tutorial|Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture tutorial|Picture tutorial]]
| |

| Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: <div style="font-family:'Georgia', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size:200%;text-align:center;">~ ~ ~ ~</div>

| | |
| Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the [[Tardis:Help| Help pages]], add a question to one of [[Forum:Index|the Forums]] or ask on [[User talk:CzechOut|my talk page]]. -- [[User:CzechOut|CzechOut]] ([[User_talk:CzechOut|Talk]]) 00:44, 2012 September 15

| |
| | |
| == Loading image ==
| |
| To be honest, it's a pain in the ass. It took a lot of fiddling around. There are about three parts of it.
| |
| #Creating a transparent .gif that you'll use as the loading "throbber"
| |
| #Changing the appropriate MediaWiki messages: [[MediaWiki:Wikia-editor-loadingStates-loading]] and [[MediaWiki:Wikia-editor-loadingStates-saving]]
| |
| #Fiddling with the location of the throbber through CSS
| |
| | |
| Here's the alterations to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] we use, but it wouldn't work right out of the box for your own wiki, because it takes into account the precise text message we use, and the exact size of our throbber.
| |
| | |
| This part affects the text of [[MediaWiki:Wikia-editor-loadingStates-loading]] and [[MediaWiki:Wikia-editor-loadingStates-saving]].
| |
| <pre>
| |
| div.loading-message {
| |
| font-family : 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, 'URW Gothic L', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif !important;
| |
| letter-spacing: 1.5px;
| |
| text-transform: uppercase;
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| And this part changes the .gif throbber away from the default:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| #EditPageEditor .loading-indicator .loading-message .loading-throbber {
| |
| background-image: url(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/tardis/images/c/c6/TardisLoader.gif) !important;
| |
| background-size: 242px 200px !important;
| |
| background-repeat:no-repeat !important;
| |
| background-position:top center;
| |
| background-color:transparent;
| |
| overflow:visible;
| |
| height:200px !important;
| |
| width: 600px !important;
| |
| }</pre>
| |
| | |
| What you would need to do is upload your animated gif, then go to its file page (say, file:throbber.gif), then click on it again there so that you're getting to its base images3.wikia.nocookie.net page. You'd then cut and paste that URL into the bit where we've got TardisLoader.gif, above.
| |
| | |
| Then you'd have to mess around with the background-position and the height and width values to get it where you want.
| |
| | |
| There's no one-size-fits-all answer to your question, which is probably why you don't see that many wikis messin' around with the loading message. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 22:26: Sat 15 Sep 2012</span>
