So, I think that KrytenKoro mentioned bringing this to the KHWiki, so I decided to do it. As you can see on any pages at Halopedia, the header has icons of the game the subject has appeared in. This uses two templates, which I tried to bring to the Wiki. I had to modify them (as best as I can) to get them to work here, but I can't get it to work! Anyway, would you mind taking a look at them and fixing them. This would be a huge addition to the Wiki, and I need your help to do this. The templates can be found here:
Heh, I'm looking at the code and I'm stumped. There's probably some CSS and JS you need to add, but then I don't know. I can't see it working on Halopedia.

So, what is to be done? Could we look for some data in Halopedia's CSS and JS?

Okay, now I see how it works (I use monobook and it only works on Monaco) I'll try stuff.

Thanks SO much ILHI! If anything needs to be added to the MediaWiki, I'll forward it over to KrytenKoro or Guardian Soul.

Alright, I've noticed two id things which may have something to do why it doesn't work. "title-eraicons" and "title-linktabs".
I don't know how this helps, but the Halo wiki uses it and they obviously have a reason for using it. This was in the JS, and should be added to the wiki's JS:
function showGames(className)
{
if(typeof(SKIP_GAMES) != 'undefined' && SKIP_GAMES)
return;
var titleDiv = document.getElementById(className);
if(titleDiv == null || titleDiv == undefined)
return;
var cloneNode = titleDiv.cloneNode(true);
var firstHeading = getFirstHeading();
firstHeading.insertBefore(cloneNode, firstHeading.childNodes[0]);
cloneNode.style.display = "block";
}
function getFirstHeading()
{
var elements = getElementsByClass('firstHeading', document.getElementById('content'), 'h1');
return (elements != null && elements.length > 0) ? elements[0] : null;
}
function moveRating()
{
var elements = getElementsByClass('ratings-top', document.getElementById('content'), 'div');
if(elements[0] == null || elements[0] == undefined)
return;
var cloneNode = elements[0].cloneNode(true);
var firstHeading = getFirstHeading();
firstHeading.insertBefore(cloneNode, firstHeading.childNodes[0]);
cloneNode.style.display = "block";
}
moveRating();
showGames('title-linktabs');

If we get nothing after adding these, I'll just ask the people at Halopedia how to get it to work.

I'll try to get Guardian Soul, BebopKate, or KrytenKoro over here to put those in. Thanks so much for geting this coding, ILHI. I'll contact you again once we get some results.

I added the code to the bottom of the js and css, and tried the template at Shadow, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could you check the way I modified the cs and jss, and if I did it wrong, paste how it should be to User:KrytenKoro/Sandbox1 and Sandbox2?

Ok, it seems like we can't get it. Even after a modification by Kryten, the icons still fail to appear at all (check Shadow for evidence). I think that we should ping some staff over at Halopedia. Waht do you two think?
19:02, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
I spent a lot of time today over at Halopedia and looking at stuff. I couldn't work it out. Perhaps we could just copy all of the JS and CSS somewhere, and then discard what we know doesn't effect the system.

I've actually been working with some Users over at Halopedia, particularly DavidJcobb. He couldn't figured it out, but he got started in a conversation with the creator of the iconic templates. His name is RelentlessRecusant, and he's going to attempt to help me. I encourage you to join in. Also, BebopKate pinged the staff over at the Fallout Wiki, who use a very similar set of iconic templates. I think that we'll have this set up soon... hopefully.

Alright then.

Not sure how much help it will be at this point, but the editors at the The Vault have kindly provided us with some help as well right here.
KrytenKoro - "Hurricane beats all housing or apartments. This sucker is a Cat-6!" TALK -
Naruto wiki also has the icon thing, and it's closest in function to what we want - no ratings or anything. Ask them.
The problems I'm having (and it may end up being easier making separate templates):
The "Level" title should be in the second column, next to type.
For the Magic, World, and Technique card types, the final two rows should not appear.
The bolding doesn't go across more than one column as it should.
The "colspan" in front of "home" doesn't activate as it should, and instead displays as text.
If you can figure out what I'm trying to do with the code, is it even possible to do it that way? Or should I just make different templates for when they have different numbers of columns or lead entries?

Pardon me, but why is it that you told us to use SUBST: when placing a warning or welcome template? The templates will look out-of-place if we renovate thet site again.
15:29, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
Go ask Wikipedia, Wikia central, and every other good wiki on the internet. Or ask me: I supposed it's because whenever you change the welcome template, it changes on everyone's talk page on the wiki. And it shouldn't. It could say something completely different to what it did when it was originally placed.

Isn't that the whole point of renovating a Wiki's theme? It's not like the links or reason for a warning will change. By the way, you need to archive your talk page. That's why we've got some odd-appearing messages.
15:09, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
Well, I suppose you have a point. Usually the design of the welcome template says something about a person, how long they've been a member. But this wiki likes to use themes all over the site, and works a bit differently.
You've also abandoned the Monobook appearance but it's not like anyone else cares.

Oh, I never used Monobook. I like this layout better, personally. However, I know that there are many people who prefer Monobook.
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 17:20, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
dear ILHI, I am in need of your assistance once more :P
You see, I am trying to create a really cool Archive counter thing for me, but I can't get it right... I need help from a legendary coding-master; You :D
I am trying to get this image to be the background image, and when you click on the middle, it takes you to my talk page, and if you click on I, it takes you to my first archive page, and if you click on II you get to my second archive, and so on. I have 12 archives, but I bet that the 13th will come soon.
Anyway, do you understand what I mean??
I was also thinking of having some other, random numbers appear instead of 100%. I have the same image with different numbers right here: 99%, 80%, 79%, 51%
could you please help me, ILHI?
20:42, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
That should be possible. I'll try and work on it later, because the kind of coding you ask is the kind of coding that hurts my head. It's probably possible, I just have to think hard about how to do it.
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:27, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Wow, that code must be quite complicated if it hurts YOUR head :P
anyway, I just wanted to tell you that there's no rush :D
also, I wish to thank you for this, and anything else I may have forgotten to thank you for in the past :D

Hey, I'm incredibly sorry about this, but if I am ever going to do it it will be a long while. Currently I have stopped using the computer frequently. And there's been a lot going in my life recently. In simple terms, I think I might have a medical condition.

And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 21:32, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
ILHI, I pray that everything goes well, and that you don't have such a condition. What do you suspect yourself of having?
21:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Autism. Albeit a mild case. I've had the symptoms for a long while, I only put it together recently though. I'm not going to get myself diagnosed, I don't want "autism" hanging over my head for the rest of my life.
I'm socially inept, which has lead to depression. In the last year I've tried to force myself to change this because I simply thought that it was just me.
So knowing isn't going to help me. If anything, it's just going to make me use it as an excuse whenever I get into certain situations, which isn't going to help me overcome it. I don't want to accept it. Even if I don't have autism, I still have a lot of the symptoms. So...
Actually, has the timer EVER been working. I just looked at MediaWiki:Common.js, right at the bottom. I then checked my js and not all the code is there. Which is why I could see it and not you. シLion Heartツ 22:34, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
I responded on my talk page just to cover bases, but I think this falls more into Kryten or GS's realm of expertise than mine. Hopefully they are around soon.
Also, ILHI, wanted to check in on how things are going with you. I've got my own fair share of medical issues and am more than willing to loan a sympathetic ear if you need one. BebopKate 04:11, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
Nah, I'm alright. I'm still attempting to ignore it even though in every situation of my life I'm reminded it might be there. But whatever. シLion Heartツ 11:57, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hello again, ILHI. I hope things are going well for you. I am once again in need of your coding expertise. I've been trying to design a template like Navboxes from Wikipedia. To do so, I've imported one of their supertemplates: Navbox. However, I'm completely stumpted as to how to get the whole thing to work properly. The work I've done so far can be found here. Basically, the idea is to create a navigation template that holds other navigation templates. I tried testing out the one that I thought would work, but ther were a few issues. For some reason, putting Template:KH2 in it causes a line of tag coding to appear under the template. More importantly, the navigation templates put it in it appear open, but have a [show] tag. Clicking on it does nothing but make [hide] appear, which collapses the template. Could you please help get this template functioning, ILHI?
15:30, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
I used to tell people you can't have collapsibles in a collapsible. And then I found out they have it on Wikipedia. I actually have no idea how they got it to work.
Edit
dear ILHI, I am in need of your assistance once more :P
Wow, that code must be quite complicated if it hurts YOUR head :P
So sorry to hear that... I sincerely hope that everything will somehow work out for you!
