User talk:GarouxBloodline

'''Welcome to the GarouxBloodline Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool! We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. -- CzechOut (Talk) 06:45, 2012 August 28

The Moose
I don't understand what exactly you're trying to achieve. Could you please define the elements in terms of layer A, layer B, layer C, etc. And then tell me how you want those layers to interact. 19:59: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Nope, still not getting it. You got a link to some code for me to look at? I'm guessin' w:c:fallout:MediaWiki:Wikia.css? Or is it hiding somewhere else? Also, please come into compliance with T:SIG LOOK — you keep putting my page into Category:Pages with broken file links.    20:25: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * I'm not understanding your design ethic here. If you're an admin, that means you can change Wikia.css.  But you've chosen to try to do this z-index manipulation all through div statements.  Why?     20:36: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Gonna need you to unlock one of these Moose pages for editing so I can play with it.    20:48: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Sandbox won't do it. Need to have it in the User blog namespace.  Just open up a really old edition that no one is likely reading any more.    21:12: Thu 30 Aug 2012

I'm confused. You're a sysop. It's your blog. You can grant temporary access to your own blog, right? 21:43: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Just to be clear, your aim is not to improve the overall readability of the text of the blog, or to fix the odd scrolling behavior. It's solely to make commenting available?    21:49: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Is something broken at Fallout? It's taking massive amounts of time to publish anything, in any browser, at your wiki.  Have you guys recently changed some js or something?     22:11: Thu 30 Aug 2012
 * Okay, my recommendation is that you can't do what you want to do with div tags. You're going to have to get into the guts of the CSS and make some page-specific declarations.  You'll need to move the CSS element  up in the z-index, but you'll want to do it only on the specific pages that house The Moose.  That means every time there's a new addition, you'll have to add that page to the CSS.


 * For instance, you'd have to declare something like:
 * page-User-blog-GarouxBloodline-The-Moose-August-2012 .WikiaArticleComments { z-index:100 }


 * But it won't stop there. You'll have to really convert all your coding to CSS and make it page specific — which means there'll be a ton of CSS declarations.


 * See, the essential problem you're having is that you can control the z-index of a few things using div statements, but you can't control them all. On this page are a number of layers: the Wiki's background (WB), the Blog's background (BB), the comment area (CA) the blog text area (BT) and the wiki content (WC) area.  The only thing divs will allow you to change are BB and BT.  But you need to be able to define them all.  You need to say that layers will appear in this order, from bottom to top:


 * WB | BB | WC | BT | CA


 * But we don't know the z-index for anything but BB and BT, meaning that CA is stranded underneath BB. The only way to fix this is to dig into the CSS, and to change it at the page level.


 * You can do what you want to do, but in my opinion it's gonna take a lot of work, and a lot of monthly maintenance. Since you personally aren't familiar with CSS, you've got two choices.  You can either learn CSS, or you can just make the blog work within the constraints of the ordinary page design for a user blog page.  Maybe someone else will have a different opinion, but I'm not seeing a way around using CSS.


 * Incidentally you kinda need to rework your code anyway, because you're using HTML tags that have been deprecated, likd.


 * Sorry I don't have an easy fix for you.   22:32: Thu 30 Aug 2012
