Orange bar?

Hey, Begoon, I saw that you installed my script and was just wondering if it's working. :) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:20, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Like a dream. Lit up all orange and wholesome "like what it should". Thanks for testing it too - service above and beyond. Now I just need to convince the bloody red "1" thing to go away once I've read it... :) Begoon 16:24, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Excellent; you're very welcome. :) Script-wise, I want to stay very far away from messing with Echo itself; one way or another, I expect it to be changed significantly in the near future because of the hoopla. I know that if you click the number itself, it should clear it back to zero, and if you want to get rid of it entirely, you can hide it by adding #pt-notifications{ display:none; } to your vector.css page. (Incidentally, I can only take a little credit for this CSS thing; Rockfang had the original idea, and I just tweaked it a bit.) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Cool - yeah I know I can dismiss it by clicking, but it's an extra thing to need to click... I won't hide it in case it gives me anything useful (or funny - funny is good) in the interim, and, I agree, it's in flux, and my spider sense says the Orange Bar will be back as opt-out. But, it works now, and it didn't 10 minutes ago, so I still thank you. Begoon 16:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The ANI

There is an ANI on some of these issues. will get you to the page, It was item 14 last I checked. Maybe I should have let it drop, but I really did not feel that people had even addressed most of the attacks like "He-man women haters club president".John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:21, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. I should be completely honest here. What I'm really saying is this: If somebody has really personally attacked you, then that is disgraceful. If what we are talking about is random internet brou-ha-ha because someone (dis)/agreed with a silly unimportant categorisation decision you took then, meh... That stuff happens.

Far too often the two things are mixed up here (deliberately or accidentally) for point scoring and "look at me" value. I've read the link you gave me, and I'll be honest - there's some things I wouldn't have personally said in there, but in general it's your common or garden wikipedia shout loud dispute. I've found those things tend to stop when either party decides to call it a day. Hopefully one side will do so.

I will say this, though, without proper intersections, and a decent category system, you'll still be having these arguments if I come back here 10 years from now. Don't tear each other to bits because the pedia can't do categories yet. I promise you it'll look silly with hindsight. Begoon 18:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
