That's very cool! Like you mentioned, the only concern I would have is longer page loading time as well as putting more strain on the wiki in general. But if that can be addressed, I'm all for it! It's definitely a great improvement.

I think we should give it a test run on one of the larger pages and see how it works. I can then browse that page from several different devices and let you know whether it is any slower than usual or less efficient.

Hi Diva, thanks for the reply! Glad you like the idea. I have actually tested it on a fairly large page. The only thing is you need to add some custom js to your common.js page for it to work.

var tooltips_list = [

   {
       classname: 'custom-tooltip-text',
       text: "Parameter: <#parameter#>
This is just text and HTML - wikitext won't be parsed",
   }, {
       classname: 'episode',
       parse: '{'+'{eptt|<#episode#>}}',
   }, {
       classname: 'character',
       parse: '{'+'{chtt|<#character#>}}',
   }, {    
       classname: 'basic-tooltip',
       delay: 200,
       onHide: function(handle) { $(this).html($(handle).html()) },
   },

];

The ]; at the very end is part of the code too.

When you get a chance to add that, you can test the page List of The X-Files episodes, i've added tooltips to all the season 1 episodes, so that's 24 in total.

I have added it to my common.js page. Although, is this something that all users will be having to do, or can we make it appear wiki-wide?

we can add it to MediaWiki:Common.js if you and other admins approve of it so it can be implemented site wide.

As far as I'm aware there is no option to toggle the tooltip on/off though. I guess we would need approval from other members/visitors as well.

Great, let's get the opinions of the other admins first and foremost. Then, we can host a wiki-wide poll to get everyone's opinions and if the general consensus is yes, then we can implement it for all.

Very neat. It's a cool little preview.

Although It might put more strain on the wiki with loading.

I tested it on my own device to see how it looks and rarely use my smartphone for wikis and it does not load okay for me on mobile and slow.

It works fine on computer.

Hi Buffy, may I ask what phone you are using? I just signed into my account on my iPhone and the page “List of The X-Files episodes” seemed to load fine for me. I don’t think mobile version can display tooltips though as it’s not possible to hover over a link.

Tooltips is not active for me on mobile.

I have android phone. SAMSUNG S8 Not iPhone.

Is it still loading slowly for you Buffy? The load times for me on firefox on my desktop vary drastically. Sometimes the page takes as little as 5-6 seconds to load everything, or as much as 11-12 seconds. I'm not sure how much impact the tooltips have.

Works great on chrome browser on computer took me 7 seconds.

Tried on my Samsung s8 phone and same slowness.

I wonder if other Samsung/S8 users, or maybe just Android users in general also experience slow load times. I haven't come across any slowness on mobile on iOS so far. Do you browse this wiki on your phone often Buffy?

What do you guys think though. Are you (and mechqueste) in favor of the tooltips? No worries if you don't want it, I will revert any changes :)

I am in favor, personally! It doesn't seem to work on iOS nor have any effect at all (which is fine), but on a computer, it works fabulously and does not make it noticeably slower. I cannot speak for Samsung, however.

Thanks for feedback diva :), It looks like the three of us agree that load times on PC appear to be minimal, not sure how often Buffy uses the mobile version though, and if it would have a big effect on their experience. Unfortunately I don't think there is an option to toggle the tooltips on/off so If MechQueste is in agreement we would probably have to ask the community what their thoughts are?

Me too, works fine on a computer, just not on mobile. I don't use the wiki on mobile that much really, so it won't have a big effect on me. I really only use mobile to check messages and such, if something needs my attention or input, and I'm not near a computer. 

Love to hear  MechQueste's thought.

Hi guys, I've gone ahead and added the tooltip javascript settings to common.js - I would have liked to gathered MechQueste's thoughts as well but I don't think he/she is really active at the moment - it's been 2 weeks since the thread was made. If they're really against it I can revert the changes.

Good idea. :))

Sounds good!

I think Jackson Van De Kamp as it is his adoptive and therefore most “current” name.

Thank you!

No problem!

Hi yes I noticed that! I was planning to do it anyway but I wasn’t sure if it was your second account or something.

Anyway, it’s done now. I made them a moderator and rollback!

Ugh, hello thank you. 

Its not my 2nd account.

Okay, no need for the attitude, I just said I was wondering if it was you before you asked me to promote them. I'm happy to do it.

I'm sorry. 

Point is... It speaks kind of negatively of you as an admin and makes you seem power hungry. You could have first talked to Audrey about being potentially promoted instead of going behind her back. Even though we don't get paid... Think of this as a job... What you did will likely reflect badly in the future. I'd be thankful she didn't block you since what you did warranted that in addition to the demotion.

Of course, I am thankful I didn't get blocked because of the demotion.

Selena is right. What you did made you seem power hungry and honestly rude. What you could & should have done with these new developments is told me about it. I can always send an email to staff if you ask me to (and I did just now). I'm also on Twitter @audreysbook in case you can't get an immediate response from me for whatever reason. 

I'll give you your admin rights back but I don't feel comfortable making you a bureaucrat as we've now had to discuss this sort of issue two times, and I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again before giving you the tool I can't take back.

So, if you need something done by a b-crat, tell me, and I'll do it. Simple as that.

sure. I can live with that.

YES!

Here is a Drive folder with all the scripts you will need: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1z2t4YNIexsZEZXVXhxQThTYnM

Enjoy!

Can I add the scripts to the wiki?

WOW This is great. I've been looking for scripts for years. I do own a few, and found a few online, but just wow. Thanks for sharing. 

If you want to add them to the wiki, fine. I've just never come across wiki's, in general, adding real scripts before. I don't know what the policy is, will FOX ask for them to be taken down. 

I doubt fox will ask them to be taken down. The real meat and importance are the tv shows. If we upload them, then Fox will fly in a rage and issue a DMCA.

As for scripts, I guess they are fine. I have seen Eureka Wiki adding a few scripts without complaints. So I guess we can.

Fantastic good then. I just wasn't sure. Going to be saving these now and very excited to have much more to my collection. 

I have scripts for other shows too, just never have the time to scan and PDF. 

The episode pages could definitely be updated to reflect stuff from the original scripts. Maybe even having a scan or excerpt of the scene that's different or cut added as a photo thumbnail to pages. 

LOL just reading the truth and I'm glad they changed the ending, although now that the truth isn't the last episode, adding it back in wouldn't matter. But LOL Smoking Man being 100% in the script and episode, obviously, we know they didn't plan to bring it back. But still, I wished they could have just said Smoking Man had alien DNA in him to survive or something or come up with a good explanation. 

Please do add it! :) And yeah, if Fox is angry about it, they can issue a DMCA notice.

Hey guys... How have u been?

Oh they’re not screenshots, they’re actually promotional pictures released by Fox. They release promo images for every episode a couple of weeks before it airs.

It has to be big enough, so enlarge it. I use Photoshop Elements 14 for all my background designs. See File:Wiki-background for reference, take note of the image size and maybe use it as a template to place things over top.

Cool, thanks for the help

Np! :)

It looks awesome. tbh. Btw, how much was photoshop?

I got the Student and Teacher discount for $79.99: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-premiere-elements.html

Actually, I would like to keep it as Forum rather than Discussions. I believe it fits the wiki and the audience better than Discussions. 

1. No use of wikitext.

2. No highlights, so it's impossible to notify the community of a very special announcement (which I find quite important).

3. The discussions are completely isolated from the main Wikia & "Recent Wiki Activity".

I'm fine and happy with it on some wikis, but on here, I would much prefer to keep the Forums feature. Thank you!

I've posted a question on Community Central to see if anyone else knows about it. 

Ok, we won't move forward with the migration right now, but you should be aware that forums will be discontinued eventually (no date set yet), which is why we're trying to get more communities with upcoming releases on board as soon as possible. If you need to know more, check out those links I posted in my first post. 

I know but by the time it's rolled out I believe that things will be addressed such as thread highlights etc. I've seen FAQ page and I don't think I want to move forward until all the "planned" features are implemented. Thanks! :)

Thank you! <3 I really appreciate it!
