Random choice tag[edit source]
How the hell did you guys implement that? I want to do the same thing on one of my sites & I can't see how. Tka 19:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Well i finally figured it out no thx to these guys. Use the random text extension over at mediawiki. Tka 10:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Stuff that is dubious or needs updated[edit source]
- <choose> tags - I don't think this is a custom tag specific to Uncyclopedia. See for example http://tidypedia.wikinet.org/wiki/Choose and i:User is blocked/admin. Since it's not specific to Uncyclopedia, is there a good reason it should be listed here?
- <DynamicPageList> - is this really uncyclopedia-specific? The DPL extension is not a custom thingy specific to here, I can tell you that.
- References to uncyclopedia.js or uncyclopedia.css should go as that's a wikia thing and doesn't have a use here.
- Non white images - I don't notice a difference with the <div class="nonwhite"> thing. Both of them look like they have a light grey background.
- Stealth external links - since there's a thing in MediaWiki:Common.css that makes local fullurls look just like the stealth external links class does, shouldn't the 'external link' examples be changed or possibly the section needs to be rewritten? Though we should also maybe consider the fact that wikipedia fullurls look like external links (haven't been customised not to) and this is an inconsistency between us and them.
- Bold Administrators - this is probably not a big deal, but I'm pretty sure the admins listed in the example code have all been desysopped.
- Title override - possibly mention that {{DISPLAYTITLE}} also works in many (most?) cases and is preferred.
- See also - those are red links, not interwiki links. The prefixes should be changed so they go to the right place, or ideally the pile of missing interwiki prefixes such as m: should be readded to the table but apparently the real reason they don't work is that the extension is buggy, or something like that.

- A lot of this is not Uncyc specific, but when I was learning how to do Hacks having a single repository was useful - although it did lead to an unnecessary argument at one stage.
- We could also add {{RL}} to this as well, as it is being used by a few more peoples now - thanks for the update to pipe link that btw. I should have done it at creation, but opted not to for some odd reason I forget now. Nominally Humane! 05:29 10 Feb
