Main Page

Thanks, but the colour of that banner on the front page looks a little garish!

Sorry! I tried to make the message more prominent but in hindsight it isn't necessary.

What's been going on with BRGS? I've been out of the loop recently and, although I've read the various talk page discussions on the matter, I'm not that sure of what's happened apart from some accusations about abuse of power from moderators and unacceptable content warnings. Can you fill me in? ¹⁸⁸⁵

That's basically the gist of it. As I'm not actually at school any more (and haven't been for a few years), I can only speculate I'm afraid, so I know about as much as you do. Suffice to say, we're looking into it and reacting appropriately!

Info Boxes

Hi 1885, we really appreciate what you have been doing. I would like to tell you one thing, and ask another. The thing I want to tell you is that i think that only one 1 photo should be used on the info box (which is different on Mr Gray's page) and that if you use a photo, it should be the only photo of itself (e.g. that photo only being been in the infobox, nowhere else). And I would like to ask, how do you make these infoboxes because if I know I'll be able to dedicate some time helping you out putting these on pages. Hope you can take my advice and you can give me an answer. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan talk - contribs 19:43, 21 September 2010 (UTC) OK thanks - I'll edit the pages I've infoboxed. I've created a guide to the infobox here. It does look a bit confusing at first but it eventually makes sense! 1885 says hi! 15:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - 1885 ^{says hi!} 18:18, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Templates for Admin (from community portal)

BRGSMan - of course!! This should be on Community Portal but I'm editing from my iPod touch - will merge tomorrow. Should be done soon. ¹⁸⁸⁵

I think my template is more informative and the same size as the other templates you made, but yours offers a more reassuring approach. Perhaps we can merge them together? I don't mind which one we use. Dangerousx 22:53, 27 October 2010 (BST)

I'll edit the Template:Admin so that it is 600px wide, contains portions of both templates and my colour scheme if that's ok? Also please can you upload this image as developer.png? I'm editing from my iPod so I can't upload images. Thanks! ¹⁸⁸⁵

Are we using the admin template for bureaucrats, only the template is called bureaucrat, when it says admin, change it to bureaucrat and mention that bureaucrats can make others admins. Dangerousx 23:25, 27 October 2010 (BST)

That would work - I'll change the background colour so you cam distinguish between the two. Thanks for uploading that image - it's now in the template! By the way,in case you hadn't noticed the template automatically updates depending which user page it is on- handy! Thanks, ¹⁸⁸⁵

I thought you were going to use a different colour scheme for bureaucrat, so it could be distinguished from admin. Dangerousx 23:44, 27 October 2010 (BST)

I messed up the hex codes! It's fixed now though. ¹⁸⁸⁵

Template

Hi 1885 I need a template for to use on the forms for year 10. Because this year's intake are '10' we need to redirect them to 010B etc and I need a template to sort that out. Is that possible? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:22, 28 October 2010 (BST)

Yep it'd be easy to sort out- but before you posted this I'd just gone round moving the pages of 10B/R/G/S/N - sorry! Do you want me to revert the edits? Sorry if i've caused any harm. ¹⁸⁸⁵

No don't worry you have sorted out a completely different issue. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:35, 28 October 2010 (BST)

Ok then I'll create the template! ¹⁸⁸⁵

Also, I wouldn't bother with your edit count link thing, as soon as Clizard puts up the user score chart everyone's edit count will be available! Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:38, 28 October 2010 (BST)

OK - I'll remove it! I've created the template, I'm going to try it out on 10B. Fingers crossed! ¹⁸⁸⁵

It appears templates don't like redirects. Shall I just use a template like Forms without a redirect? ¹⁸⁸⁵

No the template doesn't need a redirect... It just needs a message like 'If you are looking for the form of intake 2010, see 010B' Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:53, 28 October 2010 (BST)

Ah OK I get it now! I'll remove the redirect (a graphical template is already in place behind it) ¹⁸⁸⁵

It works now.... look at the page10B to see it in action. Yay! ¹⁸⁸⁵

Is it possible to centralise the template? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:02, 28 October 2010 (BST)

Yes, i'll sort it now. I must have messed up the code somewhere! (it was designed to be centred!!) ¹⁸⁸⁵

Updated. ¹⁸⁸⁵

Brilliant! Thanks a lot. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:25, 28 October 2010 (BST)
