Request to add admins to VEGA Conflict wiki
Thank you for the smooth wiki migration!

Can you please give the accounts Gdiax1 and wheathl3y admin rights on this wiki? They are current admins of the old VEGA Conflict wiki.

 * If they use the Claim this wiki button, i will approve their claims. Alternatively, you have sufficient rights to do it yourself. — Game widow ( talk ) 14:25, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks! — Cl74652 (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

NUMBEROFARTICLES not working correctly
I have noticed that  evaluates to, which is obviously inaccurate. Is there any way you can fix it?

— Cl74652 (talk) 12:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This particular statistic is notoriously finicky, but i'll run a script which should hopefully fix it. One thing to bear in mind is that articles are not considered "articles" unless they contain at least one link to another page on the wiki. — Game widow ( talk ) 14:13, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That did the trick, thanks! — Cl74652 (talk) 15:52, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Request to enable DynamicPageList3 extension
Can you please enable the DPL extension for this wiki? I want to be able to make use of categories to "tag" pages for templates/modules.

- Cl74652 (talk) 11:02, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, done — Game widow ( talk ) 12:43, 7 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks! - Cl74652 (talk) 02:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Request to enable Labeled Section Transclusion extension
Another extension request here, since I plan to make use of subpages to store item recipes in the game (each item can have levels I-V) for the DPL.

- Cl74652 (talk) 00:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Added — Game widow ( talk ) 13:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks - Cl74652 (talk) 04:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Request to add custom namespaces
As per the subject, can you please add the custom namespaces "Item", "Research" and "Recipe"? Their purpose is to store pages that contain templates for transclusion in main content pages.

- Cl74652 (talk) 05:17, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, do you want them to be searchable ? — Game widow ( talk ) 12:58, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * One more thing, have you already created pages named "Item:XXX" or "Research:xxx" etc? if so, you must at least temporarily rename them, or actually delete them otherwise they will become inaccessible — Game widow ( talk ) 13:34, 25 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I do not wish for them to be searchable. As for your second question, I have deleted them already. - Cl74652 (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Done! — Game widow ( talk ) 15:45, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! - Cl74652 (talk) 15:54, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Missing Lua editor when editing pages in Module namespace
I can't help but notice the lack of a Lua editor when editing pages in the Module namespace. This is a major inconvenience, as I have no line numbers to refer to whenever an error message is displayed. Can you perhaps fix this issue? - Cl74652 (talk) 04:25, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no specific lua editor, i can enable CodeEditor if you like (I personally hate it, but some users like it) — Game widow ( talk ) 11:50, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That would work, thanks! - Cl74652 (talk) 03:44, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Added — Game widow ( talk ) 13:40, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not working for Lua pages - Cl74652 (talk) 04:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Forgot one flag, should be ok now — Game widow ( talk ) 11:53, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Working now, thanks! - Cl74652 (talk) 02:36, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Logo
Instead of the vanilla game logo, we have decided to use a custom one for the wiki. Can you replace the logo that's being displayed at the top left of the screen with the image on the right? Thanks in advance!

- Cl74652 (talk) 13:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Changing your wiki logo is not a problem but i do not believe you are allowed to use the word "Wikipedia" as part of your logo. Just "Wiki" is fine though — Game widow ( talk ) 10:24, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Updated the file, it should be alright now. - Cl74652 (talk) 14:49, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Cool! should be all set now :) — Game widow ( talk ) 15:37, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Mobile Optimization
I'm having trouble optimizing the main page for mobile users. Even though I've already removed all of the fixed width/height attributes, the page still exceeds the horizontal width of a mobile screen for whatever reason. Any help is appreciated! - Cl74652 (talk) 05:16, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem is that you are using tables to place the information on the page. Have a look at flex-boxes (as described here, among other sites) — Game widow ( talk ) 10:28, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look later, thanks for the tip! - Cl74652 (talk) 14:50, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If you like i can try to convert your page to one of our more standard, responsive layouts — Game widow ( talk ) 15:38, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Take a shot at it. :) - Cl74652 (talk) 15:41, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Here's one possibility: 2_column_responsive_main_page_(alternative) — Game widow ( talk ) 17:26, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That looks awesome! I think I'll settle with that. - Cl74652 (talk) 01:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Glad you like it, it's in place now — Game widow ( talk ) 10:31, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Request to add Cargo extension
I've been playing around with Extension:DPL3 for a while to display item statistics in a tabular format, but the query times can get rather long since it has to fetch the data from each individual page.

Am thinking that Extension:Cargo would better suit my needs. Could you add it to this wiki? Thanks in advance!

I have contacted User:Pcj a week ago regarding the matter but I have yet to receive a response.

- Cl74652 (talk) 02:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Done — Game widow ( talk ) 20:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice, thanks! - Cl74652 (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Unable to change background of tabber on hover
I have changed the appearance of the tabber on this wiki. So far it looks pretty good, but I am unable to get the background to change on hover, despite setting the new background in the corresponding CSS block for Hydradark.css (ul.tabbernav li a:hover { ... }). Can you help me with this? - Cl74652 (talk) 14:16, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Have you examined all the tabber selectors that end in ":hover" ? Those would be the ones to change. You've buried the actual tabbing in too many layers of templates for me to troubleshoot them. — Game widow ( talk ) 16:20, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Nvm, I was being dumb and put the styling for :link together with :hover. Now it's working. — Cl74652 (talk) 12:05, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Great news :) ... i was dreading having to wade through those nested templates — Game widow ( talk ) 12:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Creating Cargo tables
I am unable to create any Cargo tables. On the table creation page, the task never completes after I click on the "OK" button. Can you help me add the Cargo tables for the following template pages?
 * Template:Statistic Infobox
 * Template:Item Infobox
 * Template:Item Infobox/stats
 * Template:Item Infobox/modifiers

Also, I would like to add a new namespace. Thanks in advance! - Cl74652 (talk) 03:08, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, i know nothing about cargo. However, your wiki manager, Pcj does have some expertise. I'll ask him to have a look — Game widow ( talk ) 03:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! At least you can add the namespace xD -Cl74652 (talk) 03:48, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The namespace has been added. --Pcj (talk) 13:24, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Some of the parameters you were using were breaking it. I've made some changes to get them to create; check and see if that is fine. --Pcj (talk) 13:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks alright, guess I'll have to enforce the key attributes using Lua then. Thanks for your help! - Cl74652 (talk) 23:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
