Biz, Put Me To Work!

Okay, Bizzee, I'm ready to come back to work now that my work work has abated. Thanks for the kick. So...what needs to be written around here? I have my keyboard, rubber gloves, sandwich, oil filter, meat grinder, and shovel all ready just like old times.  - Ratfactor talk 04:57, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Well, Bill Clinton kinda blows dog balls, might try that...what? We've got no original sin? What is wrong with this place? Water is a fucking disambiguation page, that's a right controversy, right there...I mean, c'mon, it calls itself the "universal solvent"? The solvent of the ENTIRE universe? Delusions of grandeur, much? If it were up to me, I'd devote an entire website to knocking that wanker off his high-horse.
Oh, and it just occurred to me that there is no article on baseball-bat clown fucking. Seriously. Look at that red link. Fucking scandalous. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Oct 20 '12 7:21 (UTC)
Original sin it is, then! More to come. After that, perhaps water.  - Ratfactor talk 05:14, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
Oh God what monster have I unleashed...


I feel ...dirty. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngTue, Oct 23 '12 8:25 (UTC)
The Temptation of Adam is done. Next is The Erotic Rites of Eve!  - Ratfactor talk 05:03, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Share

What happened to your share button. It was working fine and now its all halucinating and not rendering or something. Either it is tripping out on acid or theres a bug or something. Or maybe im tripping out on acid. Do you know what Im saying? --ShabiDOO 10:02, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Works for me. Gimme screenshot. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngWed, Oct 31 '12 11:20 (UTC)
Here:

Maybe its just my computer. Is it goign to go global? --ShabiDOO 17:21, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, it should've gone global two months ago, but I lost my Internet access, and I never got around poking TKF to make the necessary changes.
The bug you're seeing seems to be restricted to Chrome. If you sit there for a few moments with the share-tab open, do the little badges ever load? My version of Chrome isn't up-to-date. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 1 '12 4:20 (UTC)

Waaaaaaah!

A few months ago, you deleted a classic and beloved page by many. I don't care what you think of it personally, a lot of people took joy in the humor of the page, and you've wiped it clean.

http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Votes_for_deletion?oldid=5514000#Lost_.28TV_series.29.2FPrevious_recaps

The action you five took in deleting this was a complete outrage, garbage work. This page worked on and beloved by many, with no other way of accessing it. It was one of the few enjoyable pages on this relatively crappy unfunny parody Wiki. Just terrible. Just terrible. Shame on you and everyone who took part Lost Previous Recap page's deletion. I know a number of others were greatly upset. I'm speaking out against your terrible work.– Preceding unsigned comment added by Disenchanted Reader (talk • contribs)

You find this parody wiki "relatively crappy" and "unfunny", and yet you love that utterly tedious and patently devoid-of-humor article? That says more about you than it does us. That article was given due process, and was weighed, and measured, and was found...wanting. Also, if you really gave a crap about that page, you should've been here to vote to save it. Nice way to pay attention to something you "love". ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 8 '12 10:13 (UTC)
And if you WANT to access it so bad, here's your chance: http://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series)/Previous_recaps . Thank you, please pull forward to the next window! ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 8 '12 10:17 (UTC)
I recall that discussion and I defend my vote. Joke's on you for spending so much time writing an article that was so little funny to the general audience. Spıke ¬ 13:50 8-Nov-12

Bugs on my watchlist

You might find the following curious or maybe even be able to do something about them:

  • Both Talk radio and its talk page appear on my watchlist as "Talk:Talk radio"
  • (Previously reported to Frosty): I continue to see "(talk|contribs|block)" after some user names (currently, only after an edit of Sinner George of 5-Nov; also an edit of Under user--but not another--also on 5-Nov). Of course, clicking on "block" fails.
  • (Previously reported in the Forum): The Firefox search bar (with "go" behavior enabled in my Preferences) fails when searching outside mainspace. Spıke ¬ 14:31 8-Nov-12
First two are MediaWiki issues (#blamewikia). The third also likely is, as well. I could hack something together with JS to fix the first two, but they will likely disappear on their own, the next time MediaWiki is updated, and will be replaced with seven other bugs.  ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 8 '12 14:44 (UTC)

Thanks for the analysis. Don't bother hacking JavaScript; I am now on metered Internet and usually come here with JavaScript disabled. Am working around the third bug with a hacked-up local .XML file in searchplugins--though I have to search with underlines instead of spaces. Spıke ¬ 15:16 8-Nov-12

Metered Internet! I feel yer pain. I'm on dial-up, and all I can say is "Welcome to Hell". Also, make sure you have AdBlocker Plus or something similar. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 8 '12 15:22 (UTC)

Mine is slower than dial-up. In fact, the local newspaper temporarily inserted JavaScript to refresh its Front Page every 2 minutes, and I complained to them that it was occasionally refreshing before it had finished freshing. PS--I have only one "block" legend on my Watchlist now; regarding an edit of two days ago, it is offering to let me block myself. And even that fails, or I'd be outta here. Spıke ¬ 12:30 11-Nov-12

Slower than dial-up? Seriously? Slower than 56.6kbps, or about 5 K/s? Slower than that? Dude, Dark Ages. What, are you using Netzero's free broadband that's capped at 200 MB a month? ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSun, Nov 11 '12 12:48 (UTC)

Occasionally slower than @#$%. I am capped at 1800 MB per month--I do archiving and upload photos somewhere there's WiFi. Am in my third month ($18) on this deal. It beats dealing with the telephone or cable racketeers. Spıke ¬ 12:57 11-Nov-12

PS--Am seeing the "block" option for all editors on my watchlist between 10:19 and 10:38 UTC today--them being you and Leverage--not before or since. Still tempting, but it wouldn't work if I clicked on it. Spıke ¬ 13:34 20-Nov-12

I've clicked yours repeatedly. Get nothing but permission errors. One of these days, maaaan. One of these days. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngTue, Nov 20 '12 18:56 (UTC)

Cabal

The formatting here is more horrific than mediawiki default. It makes my eyes want to bleed, but they already bled out on the default.

What did I come here for, again? -— Lyrithya 06:38, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hey you!

I'm too lazy to fix my sig at the mirror. That, and the fact that it's a mirror site generally conversation is at a minimum. But hello back. I'm pretty busy IRL at the moment. New job and all.

I was wondering if you could throw a little js my way. this and subsequent SGI iterations have a bundle of links with "Main" as the thingy. The links have common properties, so getting js to pick out those properties is fairly straight forward. The ideal for me is to have said js check the lik prior (does it come up with the wpDestFilename or whetever it is). If it does, then follow said link. wait 10 seconds, and then go to the next sewries of 3 links.

While on said link all the relevant details are already filled in. Once the page has loaded fully, then submit the form.

It should be fairly straightforward. I could work out the first part myself, but my ability to get the second bit done is outside of my js capacity. It may be better to add a bit to the URL like "...&invisiblepantyline=true" for the js to determine wether or not it should run. I can play with the urls myself - find and replace is a handy tool. Even if you just can kick up some code to "submit form 5 seconds after page completes loading" I can deal. Nominally Humane! 04:38 17 Nov

Please do not ask for support for the mirror on Uncyclopedia, nor otherwise advocate it. It is not a valid project and is a violation of Uncyclopedia's license that serves only to pull visitors away from the main site. You have been previously asked to not do this. -— Lyrithya 05:57, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
Ask for support for the mirror ON the mirror. Pup is there fairly often. The admins here have a thing against the mirror site, even though I updated the site notice there to point to the real Uncyclopedia, so that visitors can find a site that isn't cluttered with so much VFD, rewrite/fix material, and FFW kills. The only visitors of significance to the mirror are generally spammers, and vanity/schoolcruft/towncruft writers, haven't found any new good writers there yet, but when I do, I'll point them here instead of the mirror. Uncyclopedia's license is CC-BY-NC-SA 2.0. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 09:02, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

UnSignpost

Thanks for producing a new edition for a magazine that remains the only essential, all-in-one-place summary of what goes on in here. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:14, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Thank YOU. And also, thank you for not noticing it is a completely fucked-up, not-even-current edition. You should probably tip your ophthalmologist better. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngTue, Nov 20 '12 10:15 (UTC)
I appreciate the effort BB, you will only improve with later editions. Keep it broad and don't beat particular drums too often and you'll be there. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 10:17, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
If I'm not in jail or dead by next week, then, like MacArthur, I shall return. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngTue, Nov 20 '12 10:19 (UTC)

USP

VERY very good job with the unsign post. And you did the whole thing yourself. I think you basically did a perfect job and you made me laugh. Some nice jokes in there. Put those to work on a super helarious article. --ShabiDOO 03:04, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Nov 22 '12 20:15 (UTC)


"Hello Back!" WesMan20

Yep, I've been away from writing for awhile - well, not totally; just from "newsy-type" stuff. I just got back to writing here and on my own site Very Real News[1] (still re-figuring out my wiki-coding). It seems you liked it (at least I hope so). How are you, sir? --WesMan20 Nothing to... ... read here (talk) 21:14, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I hope to contribute a little more frequently these days (monthly or so - as opposed to my four year hiatus...) --WesMan20 Nothing to... ... read here (talk) 16:54, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Damn! I ordered 30,000. Oh well... ;-) --WesMan20 Nothing to... ... read here (talk) 18:15, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

S'okay to remove the Listiness tag?

I've gone and removed those lists from the KOF article. The rules will be sufficient enough for the article for now, and I figure in the future just doing the teams will be all anyone really needs to know on the characters, should they be necessary. Would it be alright to remove the tag at this point? -- Hanyouman (talk) 03:31, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yeahhhh...won't hurt I guess. You did murder the shit out of those lists.
It's still very inside-baseball, though. Could be more accessible to morons like me who don't know what it is. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSun, Nov 25 '12 8:10 (UTC)
Alright, thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to see what I can do about that. -- Hanyouman (talk) 20:42, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Isle of Man

Thanks for the Infobox. Only, Area is a red-link, and "24.7k2" ain't an area. Spıke ¬ 12:43 25-Nov-12

24 square kilometers. I hate red links. You're welcome. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSun, Nov 25 '12 12:46 (UTC)

My Rollbackz is broken

The last couple of days it has been telling me that the page has already been updated, and giving details as though the rollback succeeded. Feel free to edit my Uncyclopedia.js in case I am invoking stuff of yours that is obsolete or broken. Spıke ¬ 15:32 30-Nov-12

Any problems with the MediaWiki interface would be due to the MediaWiki interface, so long as you have javascript turned off. If you have it turned on, you appear only to be using my watchlist gadget, which doesn't affect rollback links. So far as I know, both my watchlist and my patrol gadgets are still working, and I haven't changed 'em. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngFri, Nov 30 '12 21:40 (UTC)

Yes. JS is off and it is probably the MediaWiki interface. Just thought you might have a line on it. Have you tried Rollback lately? Spıke ¬ 21:43 30-Nov-12

Ha ha ha ha. #blamewikia. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngFri, Nov 30 '12 21:49 (UTC)

I take that to mean it fails for you too. Now, when JS is on, do we know why RecentChanges is taking a long time (on my hardware, so long that the browser asks me if I want to abort the script)? Spıke ¬ 21:07 1-Dec-12

Yessir. The MediaWiki "software" uses a custom jquery plugin called .makeCollapsible(). This plugin iterates through every page element with the "mw-collapsible" CSS class, and fiddles it by looping through its child elements and toggling each one shut. This is fine for two or three (or twenty) collapsible navboxes or what-have-you. However, MediaWiki's developers decided they wanted to use .makeCollapsible() for EVERYTHING, including enhanced recentChanges, which can have hundreds of table-rows. That's just bad programming. Enhanced RC should, instead, use the jQuery .live() method in conjunction with special CSS rules, which work instantly on the load of the page. At the behest of someone else who has the same issue with it, I actually figured out how to fix the problem in the software. However, in order for it to get fixed, I will have to get MediaWiki developer access, and then learn how to use GIT and gerrit, and... uh... well, it may happen, it may not. :D  ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSun, Dec 2 '12 5:48 (UTC)
TL;DR: 1. It is MediaWiki's fault. 2. There is no way to fix it with user scripts. 3. it may get fixed sometime soon, or never. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSun, Dec 2 '12 5:48 (UTC)

Management summary: #blamewikia, again. Presumably if you were allowed to apply your fix, it would either be countermanded or cease to work when we rush to the next great version of MediaWiki. I appreciate the details. Spıke ¬ 08:22 2-Dec-12

An update: Rollback now works--but still gives a message as though it hadn't. Spıke ¬ 23:25 5-Dec-12

Let me just make one technical thing absolutely clear: wikia are (is?) our host(s), while mediawiki is the software, and is used by a lot more websites than just wikia-driven ones. So the slow-recent-changes bug affects everyone using up-to-date MediaWiki software (including wikipedia). Meanwhile, the rollback bug (and the other bug which causes "block" links to show up even when you lack the permissions to block anyone) is, as far as I can tell, entirely wikia's fault. :D  ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngThu, Dec 6 '12 4:31 (UTC)

Also, for the record, my previous complaint about the JavaScript hanging my browser is not just from old hardware but my long-ago decision to default to 250 entries. Spıke ¬ 11:55 8-Dec-12 PS--Working around this with ?limit=50 is having a disastrous effect on my ability to see the big picture, explaining my congratulations just now to the wrong guy. Spıke ¬ 15:10 8-Dec-12

You might try putting the following into your custom-userscript file and following the instructions for refreshing your cache, although I will not guarantee that it will work:
if ( window.jQuery ) jQuery.fn.makeCollapsible = function() { return $( this ) };
This is a quick-and-dirty hack which may disable .makeCollapsible entirely, by turning it into a stub function. Should work, seeing as user scripts are loaded after all others. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Dec 8 '12 15:22 (UTC)

Nice weekly news again

I LOLed. Thanks --ShabiDOO 05:21, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

No, thank you! ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Dec 1 '12 6:00 (UTC)

Right

Seeing as you're not on the IRC for me to bug you, if you could kindly read this blatant Monty Python's Flying Circus Ripoff, assess its quality, make any minor changes that might come to mind to make it either more zany or less high-school, and, most importantly and not least importantly, aid me in getting some images (which are described in detail within the little arrows across the page), I'd be ever so grateful and also award you with a large sailing vessel, bearing a hole in the hull in the shape of Albert Schweitzer's mustache. -RAHB 05:30, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Awards

As I have been nominated for writer of the month this month, I stumbled upon the fact you nominated me for November too. Thank you for that, and for the nice wordies --Leverage (talk) 22:23, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome! ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngMon, Dec 3 '12 5:47 (UTC)

House of Reprehensibles

You listed this userspace version on QVFD, then reverted a change by Anon. Did you userspace it for repair? is there anything good in it? When it was in mainspace, I used to link to it a lot, though we now have a correctly spelled version whose name is more likely to be typed. Spıke ¬ 11:47 8-Dec-12

It was VFD'd, and it got deleted while I was working on it, so I asked for a copy, and then I forgot to finish it, and then some twit-bot created a talk page for it (which is what I QVFD'd). Also, which correctly-spelled version? ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Dec 8 '12 11:50 (UTC)
House of Representatives, natch, which redirects to United States House of Representatives. Spıke ¬ 11:55 8-Dec-12
I believe you have misunderstood. The House of Reprehensibles is similar to the House of Representatives, but different, in that there is both a two-drink and a two-gun minimum. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Dec 8 '12 12:00 (UTC)
P.S. You seem to labor under the misapprehension that Kamek wrote that three houses of China thing-place-stuff-whatever. He didn't, So So did, about six years ago. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.pngSat, Dec 8 '12 12:06 (UTC)
I find the House of Representatives plenty reprehensible, particularly using the term "fiscal cliff" to blur the fact that taxes are about to be automatically jacked up, with the fact that the Tea Party Congress's only achievement (an imperceptible cut in the planned increase of spending over ten years) is about to take effect. On the two-gun minimum, I remember when President Ford came home to address the Michigan House, whose Speaker advised Members to "leave the Piece at home." Separately, my misapprehension would have been fed by Kamek's profession of his love for the source material. He certainly intends to keep listing that article as a personal achievement, also the other one that I rehabbed. Spıke ¬ 12:34 8-Dec-12
