PayPal Got FUCKED, ED Is Likely Entitled To Monies!

As I recall ED had a PayPal account at one point but I believe it got suspended/shut down. And for anyone else who got holds and suspensions placed on accounts...

May 10th is the deadline for filing a claim.

Nice, we will check it out. Thanks for the heads up. --Mantequilla (talk) 10:43, 28 February 2016 (EST)

mobile ads

plz confirm we arent getting anymore popups on mobile devices. also sibin is still working on the wiki reply 10:54, 28 February 2016 (EST)

We do get them. I got 3. 2 pop ups and 1 pop under. CobaltCat 11:21, 28 February 2016 (EST)

It's Lucifer speaking. My aunt needs the shit mobile shards of turds to get rid of desktop move when browsing.

I can confirm that I there were like 3 popup ads when I browsed on my phone. ••General Niggerson Page me. 15:08, 8 March 2016 (EST)

EDF2 acting weird

Forums are blocking me out with this pop-up box when I visit them. Never had this happen before, and don't want to put my login info into it without knowing wtf is going on. Box locks out my entire browser, and will not go away when x'ing it out or hitting cancel. Talk 23:16, 7 March 2016 (EST)

this is being looked into reply 23:40, 7 March 2016 (EST)
Yeah I saw that, it looks like some kind of phishing thing, I just hit the "X" and it goes away and I'm still logged in... I wouldn't put your username and password into it. Sites been acting all wonky too, images won't upload unless you spam refresh and enter thirty or forty times. --Spiders 00:45, 8 March 2016 (EST)
I tried putting in my password just to test (all my passwords, including my wiki password, are different so whatever) and nothing happens. The pop up just keeps coming back up over and over. I'll change my forum password once it's working again just to be safe. - Zew0 10:16, 8 March 2016 (EST)
I have the same problem. Probably regret putting in my details. Oh well. Pressing X does not make it go away for me though. (talk) 12:19, 8 March 2016 (EST)

Stevertigo

Stevertigo (dark.w.horse:2002-present, under this guy's [disndatch]), recently edited either 'or.de.both-an' the time article or the talk page of that article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Macht mecht liberlin (talk • contribs)

Moved here from the mainspace, because it looks like it belong here. Seems like they're trying to tell us someone vandalized an article? Talk 12:38, 11 March 2016 (EST)

BMO

Is BMO functioning? The welcome/banned templates don't appear to be added automatically, at least in some cases. - Zew0 23:48, 15 March 2016 (EDT)

fixed. I'll add code later the monitors BMO's status. reply 08:45, 16 March 2016 (EDT)
The welcome template appears to be adding now, but it doesn't appear the banned template is. - Zew0 22:08, 17 March 2016 (EDT)
Confirmed. —  VX  03:04, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

need help making Taytweets awesome so it can be AOTN ASAP.

I am busy setting up the tshirt fundraiser for the morning. Can someone research the external sources and the hashtag and add more to the TayTweets article so we can put it on the main page asap.. I would really appreciate the help. --Mantequilla (talk) 13:49, 24 March 2016 (EDT)

I merged the existing Tay article. That ought to do it, right? CobaltCat 14:32, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
i set it for March 27 and 28th. the blurb is a little long and has no wikilinks but i will trim/add links to it before it appears on the mainpage. :) -hipcrime 22:41, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
Sweet thanks, sorry again, didnt realize u had already started cuz i didnt see anything with any of her/it's usernames. --Mantequilla (talk) 01:05, 25 March 2016 (EDT)

Main Page

We should move VOTN to under the AOTN because right now it is buried under walls of text. Doesn't make sense to have Video of the Now all the way on the bottom of the page while AOTN and QOTN are featured prominently at the top. Also I suggest listing the trending articles horizontal and separating them with bullets instead of vertically as it saves space. Uberfukken 02:48, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

I'll update BMO tomorrow. reply 09:13, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

Music autoplay

I know it's frowned upon, but can we autoplay music on certain articles? Like where the music is integral to the maymay like X Doesn't Change Facial Expressions. --One With The Lulz 09:33, 15 April 2016 (EDT)

If visitors want to hear music, they'll activate the YouTube embed provided. Autoplay tends to be more nuisance than benefit, and simply makes us look like amateurs. —  VX  13:54, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

Tumblrcore

Help needed on User:Owl/Tumblrcore bls, especially in regards to the music section. Also hay --owl.talk 18:25, 17 April 2016 (EDT)

HTML5 rather than Flash for YouTube

WRT Talk:Main Page#HTML5 instead of Flash on embedded videos: I'm not sure what version of the YouTube extension ya'll are running, but since 2013 it has supported the parameter "type" (like <youtube type="HTML5">bOyPuSsY</youtube>), to choose between Flash and HTML5. A lot of niggertech doesn't support Flash, so it'd be worth updating the extension. --Ettubrute 19:26, 23 April 2016 (EDT)

I think this has been brought up before. I think it was supposed to update when we upgraded to the newest WikiMedia, but that hasn't happened yet as far as I know. One of the crats will have to weigh in on this. - Zew0 19:42, 23 April 2016 (EDT)
Until we upgrade our pieced together, Frankenstein-esque MediaWiki install, new and/or upgraded extensions are right out. As for when to expect a newer MediaWiki, I don't know. —  VX  21:37, 23 April 2016 (EDT)
The rumors are that we need write 2017 before the new Wiki is in place. CobaltCat 03:27, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
What does that mean? - Zew0 12:35, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
That you will turn 16 before the wiki gets upgraded. CobaltCat 13:23, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
Ah, so by "write" you meant "wait until." Sorry, your EAASL was unclear. :) - Zew0 13:25, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
Actually I meant as in when it autocompletes it writes 2017. CobaltCat 13:36, 24 April 2016 (EDT)

Well done guys, but...

You got rid of that horrible porn advert. Cheers. If you really want to impress me, you can delete porn which appears on individual page entries. Just someone with their top off, or breasts is fine, but it gets silly and nasty when you see penis, vagina or other things like that here. People don't want to see this. I mean what happens if your parent see that?RaiderFan 17:57, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

I agree, we need the porn adverts back Uberfukken 19:53, 25 April 2016 (EDT)
What you do when your parents see that is have a mid life crisis, at which point you have more important things to complain about that porn on the Internet. —  VX  21:18, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

He's now taking credit for the removal of porn ads. --JuniusThaddeus 08:39, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

Paul Joseph Watson

So I just wrote an article on fucking Paul Joseph Watson. It needs work, but I see the potential for lulz that this mentally handicapped britfag can generate. What do you guys think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glanni207 (talk • contribs)

i'll have a look. :) -hipcrime 01:44, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
I fail at etiquette and formatting but thx for the advice. But seriously, this guy's such a fucking douche. He keeps BAWWWWING about SJWs on youtube giving him the banhammer here's an example of his bitching there's a lot of potential lulz that can be had from this fucktard. Glanni207 09:28, 6 May 2016 (EDT)Glanni207
Is he really a fucktard, or is this an ideological thing? —  VX  11:47, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
I think this might be an ideological thing. PJW is a sanctimonious prick, but I don't see how him talking about that Twitter safety council thing is anything to go on. (talk) 14:41, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
I've seen some of his videos. He's definitely not a fucktard. He does go on and on about SJWs, but that pretty much seems to be his job. I'll take a look into the bitching about being suspended. —  VX  23:32, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
I watched the linked video, and every word he said made perfect sense. After reading the intro paragraph of the article, however, I can see why Glanni wants to make this happen. I anticipate many will disagree with his (her?) reasoning, but we must remember that ED is the beacon of free expression on the Internet. —  VX  23:44, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
Yeah, it's possible that I might have overestimated the lulz factor for Paul Joseph Watson. My idea was that this guy was such a failure at science and when you combine this with his BAWWING, he could make a good lolcow. But he does have decent points like when SJWs try to leverage the state to censor their opposing views. Glanni207 02:37, 11 May 2016 (EDT)Glanni207

He apparently plays mmorpg's. Chances are he has a runescape account.

Since suarez is now my enemy, I challenge him to meet me on runescape to fight me to resolve this.

You aren't reading my posts very carefully. I don't play MMO's. I find them tedious and boring. I prefer single-player RPG's. --JuniusThaddeus 08:34, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

COMPLAINT: ONE OF YOUR SYSOPS IS TAKING CASH VIA HIS PAYPAL TO REMOVE ARTICLES

Regarding this article, this person has zero notability and is old news. He's a broken down old man who lives on disability. How about being kind and removing this article since it has zero value and adds nothing to ED. Contemplate 21:35, 14 May 2016 (EDT)

Twittercards

This is something only sysops and editors can do because they need to be protected.

We should be adding Twittercards to popular pages, AOTN's, trending articles etc. They are the difference between this:

https://twitter.com/EDdotSE/status/729371103672537088

And this:

https://twitter.com/EDdotSE/status/734023518413819904

As you can see it gets a lot more activity, which converts to article views.

Examples:

Then you use the shtml template in the article. Example: {{#shtml:Evalion/twittercard}}

Use https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator to make sure the Twittercard works and looks correct. If you change something you will have to unprotect and protect the twittercard page between edits for it to show and you will also have to resave the page the shtml markup is on.

The images need to be horizontal, around 984 × 553, so some editing may need to be done if there isn't one readily available. For the Trigglypuff and Elliot Rodger pages there were images that worked well already in the page.--Mantequilla (talk) 10:06, 21 May 2016 (EDT)

OK, I did one for Whitney Wisconsin. But I don't see it on the  EDdotSE Twitter. Can someone please tell me if I did it right and, if not, what I did wrong? Thanks. - Zew0 11:06, 21 May 2016 (EDT)
Ok I fixed it. The image has to be the file url, not the image page URL. So it should be like
https://images.encyclopediadrmatica.se/foo/bar/image.png

instead of

https://encyclopediadratica.se/file:image.png. --Mantequilla (talk) 11:42, 21 May 2016 (EDT)
How do I find that? - Zew0 11:53, 21 May 2016 (EDT)
Go here and click the image or copy the url of the date link. --Mantequilla (talk) 11:59, 21 May 2016 (EDT)
Perfect, I've got it now. Thanks. - Zew0 12:02, 21 May 2016 (EDT)

Nomination for EDitor privileges

I've been contributing to ED on and off for nearly 8 months now, and I have come to the decision that I would like to continue contributing to the site; as an EDitor. I am interested in maintaining the XOTNs, and reviewing the NewFiles for content violating ED Policy, alongside continuing with publishing new articles. I'll provide some basic info on myself:

This kind of stuff that we can't really make entire articles about would probably be better posted on the forums as news. I go through them every week and add some of them to Did You Know. - Zew0 12:16, 25 May 2016 (EDT)
This stuff is gold. If they can't be padded to an entire article, and there's really no minimum length provided it's entertaining, similar incidents could be compiled into a larger article or dispersed into relevant ones. Still, an article doesn't have to be a full page with dozens of pics. If something is worth reading, it's worth writing up. —  VX  05:00, 27 May 2016 (EDT)
