Template:Rndnear - unprotect or edit please
Hi. I would like to request an admin to either unprotect Template:Rndnear so that I can edit it, or else an admin edit the page directly.

The only thing that needs to be done to the template is to wrap the current function with " " at the beginning, and " " at the end.

For a working example with the change (that you can copy and paste, which may be the easiest), please see User:Willscrlt/Rndnear. I have tested it to be sure that everything works correctly.

FYI -- I would consider this a low-risk template since only 4 pages outside of its own docs, its own talk page, and my test page currently transclude it. However, I am planning on incorporating it as a subtemplate within another template that will be used throughout the Bartending Guide, so it may become more important after that happens. *shrug*

Either way, help one way or the other would be appreciated. Thanks!  Will  scrlt ( Talk ) 09:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * That would break the template. It doesn't work right.  ifnumber returns 1 if true, which is almost always the wrong answer for rndnear.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:28, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I didn't do enough test cases. In my test case, it rounded to 1, and that's the answer I got, so it looked right. I just changed the function to use isnumeric instead, and I think it now does what I intended for it to do. If you agree, then please make the change. If not, I guess I need some more sleep and then a trip back to the drawing board. :-) &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” •  “w:en”  •  “com”  •  “m”  ) 13:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

CSS styles NavFrame, NavHead, and NavContent
Hi again. I just ported the collapsible list template over from en.wiki. In the process, I believed that Lua modules support didn't seem to be enabled here yet. No biggie, I thought. I just went back a version or two before the template was converted to Lua, and I tried that version here. It didn't work either. I looked into the CSS used by the template and compared it with what my browser pulled down. I discovered that three classes (NavFrame, NavHead, and NavContent) were not being sent from WikiBooks. Naturally, that would explain why the templates aren't working here. Any chance that those styles could be added to common.css (or whatever the name of the best CSS file is to implement that)? Also, was my assumption about Lua modules incorrect, and Lua module support IS active, and I just couldn't tell because of the CSS problem? Thanks! &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” •  “w:en”  •  “com”  •  “m”  ) 01:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. There might be some associated JavaScript, too, to actually make the toggling work. I will try to figure that out, too. &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” •  “w:en”  •  “com”  •  “m”  ) 01:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism after final warning. -- ~ curtaintoad ~ ~ talk ~  11:26, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That IP seemed to have made only one edit. A repeate offender though was, which I gave a one-day block; suspend that's many times their attention span.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:08, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have replied. I checked this earlier and noted the single contribution. However, the page in question was being vandalised by other IPs, hence the possible confusion about repeat offending. Therefore I semi-protected the page as the quickest way to shut down the vandalism QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 16:08, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, 14.139.85.82 is the IP I wanted to report. -- ~ curtaintoad ~ ~ talk ~  21:57, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of IGNOU Question Paper Solutions/MCA/Semester 3/MCS-033 Advanced Discrete Mathematics/December 2008
Can someone please delete the above entry? This page has had SD tag for about a week now and no one has noticed it. BTW, if this happens again, do I still report it, or leave it how it is? -- ~ curtaintoad ~ ~ talk ~  09:49, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:37, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Unless it is offensive or in urgent need of deletion then you can just leave it - someone will get to it in the end. We have a few long term tagged for speedy deletion (for example) because they need careful examination first (e.g., copyright concerns, history merging).

Request to update a stable version
Hello, I have recently updated a page (Style Presentation Modes in Opera 12.16), and feel that the changes might be useful in the stable version. Would an administrator please consider updating the latest version to become the stable version? Regards, Armchair (discuss • contribs) 16:22, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
