Welcome
Hi, welcome to Fandom Developers Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Talk:UserTags page.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Cqm (talk) 05:43, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
Hey! I have no problems with the theme you posted. I realise you and I both independently sought to replicate the old CC theme around the same time, back during the early days of the Fandom rebranding. These things happen. Thanks for letting me know though. :) CoH☎ 20:29, December 20, 2016 (UTC)
Chat imports
Hey. Could you merge your imports in your chat JS and upgrade your scripts to Dev versions where possible? I've taken the liberty of writing this JS, if that helps. Using one big import from Dev makes sure the JS loads quickly, and also that bugs can be fixed by Dev users. • speedy • 🔔︎ • 🚀︎ • 22:06, September 1, 2017 (UTC)
RE: Your edit to the WikiaNavigationBarStyle/en page
It didn't say it should be imported through JS in an earlier revision either. The installation section clearly stated "Add this line to the top of your global.css file" and proceeded to show CSS required for importing the stylesheet. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 21:17, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
Concerning Highlight.css
I see that you've undone my edit on Highlight's CSS. If it is true that generally bots should only be added by their owners, then I apologize, although it seems that since the script's purpose is to help users recognize as many bots as possible, this wouldn't be the case. Thanks! ~TheGoldenPatrik1 (Talk) 21:43, January 29, 2018 (UTC)
RE: TDL Chat Bot Script
Which one? Pretty sure the TDL chatbot uses several scripts. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 15:44, October 28, 2018 (UTC)
- It's fixed now. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 21:13, October 28, 2018 (UTC)
RE: Database dump request
Looks like my auto-dumper broke, I have requested a database dump now. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 09:00, August 19, 2020 (UTC)
MassPatrol
Hi! Just wanted to make you aware of this just in case it was the same reason you were having trouble with it. —Scott  (talk) 18:04, September 23, 2020 (UTC)
RE: Database dump request
Done. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 11:40, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Done again. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 20:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Flooding RC
Please stop flooding RC. I will change the group name with a bot when I get to it. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 10:54, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- It was only 10 edits. 10 edits isn't flooding. And I wasn't going to make any more edits anyway. If it was something like 20+ edits then that would have been a problem. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 10:58, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
MediaWiki:WikiaStaffTags/code.css
We have only 12 pages on Dev with a /code.css suffix and we plan to move them all to .css soon, as that has been the convention for years now. Please consider recreating the page with the new suffix so we don't have to deal with CSS redirects for it.
Cheers! -- Cube-shaped garbage can 06:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Why can't you get Staff or a Wiki Representative to move it? I would much rather have that happen than recreate it. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- I can, I just asked you first because the revision history is pretty short and I'd rather it get moved without a redirect, which means it's better to move it sooner than later. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 07:02, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- A Staff or Wiki Representative can move it without leaving a redirect. I know this because I would have been able to do it back when the interface was much less restricted. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 07:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- I have not said they can't. I said they will take time, during which users who install your stylesheet will use the wrong page name. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 07:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. Well I've done it. Though I would appreciate it if the history of the old page was merged with the history of the new page. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 07:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Reverse engineering Fandom's legacy SCSS code
Hello!
SCSS is an extension of CSS and is compiled to normal CSS code, so converting SCSS to CSS isn't reverse engineering - it's the regular process. If you wanted to convert the CSS output back to the original SCSS that would be reverse engineering (and likely impossible).
If you need a compiler that converts SCSS to CSS, you can find a few options here (to clarify, SCSS and SASS are basically the same thing). There are online compilers too, for example this one.
Put attention that the files you linked as examples import other SCSS files, so you need to compile them all in order to get complete results.
I hope that helped! Nam 22:09, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- I can try to help. I think writing instructions would be too hard and might not be helpful, I suggest we move to a message wall conversation on Community Central to make it easier. Nam 01:03, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
RE: Database dump request
Done. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 17:07, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
RE: Database dump request... again
I fixed the dumper now. It may need re-authentication next year. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 08:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Removing WRs
Hi, I've reverted your removal of WRs from scripts and etc as it's too soon, and there's still WRs who can still use them. Please don't remove WRs from things until the group is fully removed.
Thanks --Sophie ♦ 08:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Alright. But to be honest, you shouldn't be using rollback on good faith edits. As it is inappropriate to use rollback on edits that aren't vandalism or made in bad faith. If you were reverting multiple problematic edits by an inexperienced user, then that would be different. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 09:02, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah fair, I used rollback because it let me undo your edits quicker than manually undoing every edit and copy/pasting the edit summary, but it ended up creating a bit of a mess that I had to clean up, plus the two that I missed that you found. --Sophie ♦ 09:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter. It still isn't a good idea to revert multiple edits using the rollback tool. Especially without checking if the previous editor has made any edits beforehand. If anything, that's exactly why the undo button should be used. As an edit summary should have been used.
- I myself have been in situations where I've had to undo multiple edits using the undo button. Not only because an edit summary should have been provided. But because the edits were constructive and/or made in good faith. And using the rollback button likely would have given the wrong signals. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 09:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Fair about checking if someone made any edits before that, I didn't think of that and as I mentioned above, had to fix like half of the reverts because of that (and I imported AjaxUndo after I did the reverts so that I can more easily undo edits without having to worry about cleaning up after), but I don't know if an edit summary is needed since I left you a message. --Sophie ♦ 09:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Please leave WRs mentioned on pages as well, they can still use the scripts, and technically still exist at the moment. --Sophie ♦ 07:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- They've pretty much all been demoted. So it seems pointless if you ask me. None of the other deprecated usergroups are mentioned still. So it's only consistent. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 07:43, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fair, tho I don't know if it's worth removing them until the WR program is officially over, which isn't going to happen for a long time. Also, are other depreciated usergroups still used in scripts or not? (eg I don't think there's checks for voldev in scripts on dev) --Sophie ♦ 07:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- No, they are not. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 07:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Then it makes sense to not list other deprecated usergroups on articles because those usergroups aren't used in scripts anymore, however the WR usergroup is still used in scripts, hence my point about possibly not removing them, b/c while the group is slated for deprecation, it's not deprecated yet. However I'm also kinda on the fence because it's not a big of a deal vs removing the usergroup from scripts and etc, and I'm not sure if we even need to list global groups on articles. --Sophie ♦ 08:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Editing scripts
Hi there! Like I already asked you beofre, please do not edit my scripts without first reaching out to me directly (or through the script's talk page) no matter how minor that edit is. I actively maintain the script and due to the way I work with them, I may have a different version of it locally where merging two edits can be inconvenient.  ZsotroavTC 10:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- I honestly didn't think it was a big deal. I mean if a non-existent usergroup needs to be removed from a script, then it needs to be removed from the script. Also there's no way to completely prohibit others from editing your scripts, namely bots. Since users don't receive emails from edits made by bots. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 12:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nonexistent user groups don't need to be removed from scripts, there's absolutely no harm in keeping them there. I would definitely prioritize author control over such minor changes, so please don't make changes to scripts that have been undone before by the script's maintainer.
- In the long run, mass-editing the entirety of Dev once a new user group has been added, or an old one removed, does not sound sustainable. Instead of doing that, why not use
mw.user.getRights to grab the rights of the current user and check whether they have the necessary rights to perform actions required by the script? It's a big undertaking, but a much better use of everybody's time in comparison to what you've been doing so far.

Hey C.Syde65, I believe that Fandom recently updated the <helper/> and <staff/> tags and such recently, so I made a fix to your stylesheet so the Wikia logo would properly display again as it seems they're using regular background-image now on the <a/> element, if this is a problem let me know!
