User talk:Tim Starling

where is the ISO 8601 page? it was speedy deleted, can you undelete? the wrong implementation still exists.
 * As Tim did not delete the page, here is not a suitable place to ask this question. It is also inappropriate for you to spam the whole wiki with the same question.  If you register, login, and place a request on my talk page then I will copy the most recent version of the deleted page on your user page.  You can then report it on Bugzilla if it has not already been reported there. --HappyDog 13:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * with whom did you think you spoke? You may know that Tobias was blocked. Furthermore a private discussion between Tobias and Tim took place. And since when it is the wrong place here? Tim is an admin who could undelete it. It's strange that User Tobias asked at different places where he could write about ISO 8601 and it was suggested he could create a page for it, but then one admin can delete it without discussion and with obviously false claims.
 * And with a lie ( #REDIRECT MediaWiki This page has been salted and protected due to excessive vandalism and trolling re-creations of nonsensical content. )
 * I am ignoring your request until you start acting in a civil manner, and I suspect the other admins will too. --HappyDog 15:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

HappyDog and Tobias: please find some other page on which to conduct your arguments. -- Tim Starling 08:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Tim - I'm sorry, that this problem flared up again here. Was not intentional. --HappyDog 23:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion
Thanks a million!

Maybe it would be a good idea to describe performance concerns on the talk page so that people will be aware of the issues and maybe even hep solve them. Dovi 21:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

LOParserFunctions fix
Tim, please take a look at Extension talk:LO Parser Functions for some fixes I made. In its official incarnation, LOParserFunctions crashed my MediaWiki. Basically, the i18n file is missing, so I created the i18n file and had it called properly from the main extension file. Thanks. Listrophy 18:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Flagged Reviews and Section Transclusion
As per Aaron's comment here, it would be great if both could be made live at testwiki so that any potential conflict could be noted and dealt with. Thanks! Dovi 16:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

CheckUser extension
Hi Tim.

How can I add CheckUser rights to one user on my own wiki (linux OS)? Extension is already installed. Thanks. Kaster
 * You should install Extension:CheckUser - VasilievVV 14:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

id="wpTextbox1"
Dear Tim; « id="wpTextbox1" » is an anchor available for It would be a great improuvement for directional editing having the same anchor also at:
 * 1) editing pages as
 * 2) viewing the source code for protecdted pages as
 * 1) editing an email as in
 * 2) &lrm;→ 012082 · "add « id="wpTextbox1" » to the « textarea » at « special:Emailuser/Foo »"&lrm;
 * 3) uploading a file as in
 * 4) viewing the source of a deleted page as at

I hope it neither does require to much of your time nor are there other reasons not to implement this. Thanks for all your efforts in advance! Best regards Gangleri 07:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Use the existing IDs. There's no need for the ID to be consistent, for either JS or CSS. -- Tim Starling 08:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Tim! It is really the best solution. Best regards Gangleri 00:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
