Thank You!
Thank you for your fix at Template:Languages/Lang. This has been broken for too long, and I had all but given up. Brilliant! --HappyDog 01:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

$wgAllowUserJs ?
Hi,

Thank you for answering me there. I would need another precision, where can this setting be toggled ? I thought it would be in LocalSettings.php, but I haven't found it there... 217.167.123.107 15:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC) (malta on wp fr)


 * The default value is in includes/DefaultSettings.php, which should not be edited; copy the appropriate line to LocalSettings.php and modify it as desired. --Patrick 00:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

DynamicPageList
Thank you for your corrections in the manual and short description of DPL. Let me know if you try DPL and need help. Algorithmix 21:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it works fine until now.--Patrick 10:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Parameters to Special:Export
Hi,

I saw that you made a modification at this page and I thought you can help me, in fact I tried the exemple : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export&pages=Main_Page&offset=1&limit=5&action=submit given at this page and it seems that it doesn't work. When I tried it, I only got the current revision instead of the earliest 5 revisions... thanks


 * If $wgExportAllowHistory is set to false, only the current version can be exported. This currently applies e.g. on the English Wikipedia, but not on Meta. I added that.--Patrick 00:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Special:ExpandTemplates doesn't expand a cite_journal in ref
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Animal&oldid=146110739 has a &lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal ... which is not expanded by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates.

Fyi. Thank you for your work. I'm using S:ET in the creation of a tiny wp subset to go on OLPC laptops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MitchellNCharity 14:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently nothing within ref-tags is expanded.--Patrick 17:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Going into wikimania, we created http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Wikimania#Mediawiki_feature_requests. I thought you might be interested. Thanks again for your work. MitchellNCharity 03:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:Tc
Your revert at Template:Tc doesn't make any sense to me. Can you please add some comments to the talk page? If the template is unused it should be deleted. --HappyDog 13:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. It was already mentioned in the edit summary. And it is in use .--Patrick 15:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I still don't quite understand. Am I right in thinking this is just used as an example of a template with no parameters?  In which case, a better name would be template with no parameters.  If not then can you explain further. --HappyDog 02:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes. I have used the same name as on Meta, so that wikitexts that contain calls of the template can be copied unmodified. Most demo templates start with a T on Meta, the C stands for constant.--Patrick 18:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The general feeling is that we don't want to import the mess of templates from meta onto this wiki. It is better to rename and refactor as we go.  I would suggest that this is renamed for clarity, and any pages that use it adjusted.  By all means leave a redirect at the old template name. --HappyDog 00:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
