Welcome
Hi M-yac,
Thanks for your interesting contributions. Especially the FJS extension seems valuable to me (after the bad news that its inventor stopped working on it).
Best regards --Xenwolf (talk) 09:55, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Xenwolf, thanks! Let me know if you think anything I've made would be worth linking to from elsewhere in the wiki. I'm interested in sharing what I've made but don't want to overstep since I'm so new. --M-yac (talk) 21:49, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- I think that your FJS tool could be linked in FJS, your monzo tool in monzo and the like. I'd expect that people would appreciate additions like that. At the time this wiki was run on Wikispaces, we had a JavaScript interval (or EDO) calculator which is lost after the move to MediaWiki. The original FJS webpages provide a calculator that is not very usable (you will already know that). In short, add what you think is useful, and let's see what happens... --Xenwolf (talk) 22:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC) PS: I hope you'll forgive my tweak on your post (I am a little obsessed with formatting, since I am a programmer).
- Wow! Do you check for existing pages in your tool? https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/?expr=112%2F75 I thought suggesting links to this wiki when I saw the link open in Scale Workshop but it's already implemented! This is really great! So I think it could make sense to include automatic links to xen-calc in the Template:Infobox Interval. --Xenwolf (talk) 23:34, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! Yes, I use the MediaWiki API to check whether a page on this wiki exists for a given interval, and automatically add the link if it does. As for your second comment, I think it would be amazing to include xen-calc links in the infobox template. Would making a change to that template automatically update all the infoboxes, or would someone have to go through manually and update them? If it's the latter, I would be happy to spend some of my time doing that work, if you tell me how to do it. (BTW I just made a change that improves link readability, now you can type: https://yacavone.net/xen-calc/?q=112/75) --M-yac (talk) 20:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- The change you made is helpful. I now added the optional linking. This change will eventually affect all interval pages using the template. The update is being propagated by the job queue (which itself is driven also by page loads). BTW: the JavaScript EDO calculator I mentioned is seemingly the one we see now on Interval Calculator | UnTwelve (I didn't know this before I found the link in xen-calc😊). --Xenwolf (talk) 21:27, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
