Hey there Marshall, great to have you aboard. You will want to avoid the general theories section unless you've read all of The Way of Kings, Mistborn, Elantris and Warbreaker. You should also watch out for the (other ¬.¬) staff, as they like to spike the new people .

Ahoy there Rand indeed it is the Dark Ones own luck I found Dragonmount a few years ago, never really gelled. I then checked in at wot.wikia and spent some time over there. I tried to find some Brandon fandom as soon as I'd read his stuff, and so joined this place straight away I've been at the Coppermind ever since.

well I read Alloy of Law yesterday, slower than I did originally. It seems I missed less than I thought I did, mainly the tinfoil hats.

The bit of text between <ref></ref> tags is interpreted as standard wiki code, so adding it as a standard link ( [http://google.com this is the text] ) should work. Also, if you check the edit I made to your edit, you'll see I replaced it with {{wotdb|x|y}}, which will build the link to the Theoryland Interview Database interview x question y. see the Templates help page for more

It be scoootish, laddey. Naw, its Latin

I hear Hobber took an arrow to the knee, BEFORE it was cool

That would mean a lot of award giving by the staff.

Hey there Lys, I would say that anything goes, and we'll tell you if there's anything you can improve on spelling and grammar would be a great help. As of yet there are only my toes to step on, and I welcome you to

Yes, it can do url-parsing, tz-shifting, etc. I just can't put that stuff in atm, as I ran out of API requests lol. Hmmm, the saving... good question, I can make it add a textarea at the bottom containing the source of the file, if you want. It wont be pretty printed though :\

Indeed, Category:<world> is for places. Category:<city or country or nationality> is for characters. Category:series is for everything related to the series. Thats probably a reasonable split, so far XD

Make sure you have the authors permission to copy/duplicate/rehost their work too.

Hey there, after a bit of a code, I came up with this html page. I dont think it exactly duplicates the functionality of your script, and its probably got plenty of bugs in it (in-particular, it doesn't sort the tweets yet). I got this far and ran out of API allowance. Basically I switched to the JSON outputs, used jQuery to JSON-P them into local variables, which I then iterate over and append the `<p class='bwst'><a href=twitter.com>...` lines to the DOM directly, rather than via 'nasty' strings. Whilst doing this, I get the reply-to tweets (recursively) and append each of those onto the DOM too. I will then do something like `$('[data-date]').sort()` on the data-date attribute, leaving them all in correct date order. I can also then maybe strip out the data-date attributes if you want. tweets.html

yes, you can do webserver dev in python, probably preferable to learning php or perl lol. It's a very nice language. js is essential though, and its got much better language wise, AND you can write server side stuff in it. *fanboy*

It should indeed be possible to hide/collapse those infoboxes, I've just not put that bit in yet, and it wasnt really necessary until now.

Nope, you should be able to create articles, and add categories. To create an article, go to the page you want to create. In this case, its Battle of the Tower. There it should either ask you if you want to create or search for the article OR it will show you the edit box. Just click on 'create' and this should also take you to the edit box. That is indeed a good idea for an article, btw To add an article to a category you just need to add some wiki-code to the end of it. You may have seen it already. It is just the following: [[Category:Allomancy]] to add it to the Allomancy category. (You might ask, how do we link to the category itsself then? [[:Category:Allomancy]] should work just like a normal link (as in, you can put in some random text to hide the nastiness of the page-title XD))

Thanks for your input, I kinda just went and decimated it >.> lol We probably don't need so many headers, at least not until there's lots of content, rather than having lots of empty headers. Thanks again

That is a distinct possibility, thanks for the suggestion. I'll get something set up sometime tomorrow maybe.

or 'how many people you've warned about spikes before the staff get there' I know its a futile gesture, but it makes me feel better, at least trying to warn them

I could try and comment it up if you want (to try and explain the more esoteric bits that I guess are just copypasta? ), and maybe add some improvements... its just I have no knowledge of perl, so I'd be just as much in the dark as you, lol

I think he means, you should keep them *all* in a local database, and then just syphon off what you want when you want them.

unfortunately, the best way I've found to learn html/css/js/etc is to try and implement something, and then look through references for what I need. It only really works well once you know how to program in the right style, cause then you can just look at the MozDev stuff or other similar references and you get everything. The other way of doing that is to just google for code snippets and figure what they do then implement them yourself, from the ground up. Copy paste the code snippet and run it to check it does what you want, then change it to work as you want.

From the chat box: So Windrunner, thank you again for your awesome article-writing Like I've said before, I'm just no good at writing prose, so your contributions have really helped flesh out everything. What I meant is that we now have (or are in the process of generating) these Events articles for a detailed description of any event or period of history on any planet in the cosmere. This would be a perfect place for the parts of your detailed history of Scadrial, leaving a much easier to read and briefer summary on the Scadrial article.

Hey there lyssie, great to have you here I must warn you to watch out for the staff though, they enjoy spiking people...and thanks so much for the info on the forgery story

Hey there Jon, great to have you aboard looks like you've been warned about the spikes already but it's a serious risk, so I'll reiterate: watch out for the staff, they enjoy spiking people
