OK

How about you make it so Ok and ok go to Okay but OK goes to Oklahoma? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.57.181.170 (talk) 13:39, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The OK (disambiguation) lists Oklahoma, so people can go to Ok then disambiguation then Oklahoma. PorkchopGMX 13:46, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Trying to make defcon template

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

The below was on the Teahouse but then I decided to help me it instead. PorkchopGMX 04:12, 7 October 2018 (UTC) So I’m trying to make a defcon template hurricane style User:PorkchopGMX/sandbox/hurricanedefcon and the switch template won’t switch the file when the level corresponds, for example when the defcon goes to level 3 it’s supposed to display this image but instead when you click on it, it leads to just .png and that’s not what’s supposed to happen. Does anybody know to help? By the way I’m getting much of this code from Template:Vandalism information/styles/default. PorkchopGMX 03:20, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Actually now it looks like that it’s ignoring the switch template entirely. PorkchopGMX 04:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Also how do I make it like when the defcon is level 5, that is category 1 here? And level 1 is Category 5, vice versa. PorkchopGMX 05:30, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I made the level param in the switch the same as the level params you were using earlier and I think that solves the image selection problem you were seeing.

You can do math on params to invert the numbering but it might be clearer to use another #switch. — jmcgnh 06:25, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh::How do I do that? I’ve added a temporary to do list on the page, which are the remaining things to do with the template. PorkchopGMX 00:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Since you only need to change the number being display for "Category", I think you would replace

Category {{User:{{{name|EnterpriseyBot}}}/defcon|level}}

in your current code with

Category {{#expr: 6 - {{User:{{{name|EnterpriseyBot}}}/defcon|level}}}}

The rest of the code can continue with the existing numbering for level. But I admit I'm going cross-eyed on all the curly braces involved, so I may not have it quite right. I tried it out on your sandbox version, and it seemed to work (had to temporarily use 7 instead of 6 to verify that it did something, since level 3 translates to category 3 in this scheme and we seem to currently be at level 3). — jmcgnh 03:13, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: (edit conflict) one more thing, When I try to use any style it comes out like

Template:BoxWdefcon or Template:HurricaneWdefcon, with the prefix as the beginning of the template name. What is going on? PorkchopGMX 21:18, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Not quite sure why you are using those calls. {{Vandalism information|style=hurricane}} seems to work here. There's a redirect from {{Defcon}} to {{Vandalism information}} that makes things a little less straightforward than they might otherwise be. Capitalization matters on subpages in ways it does not for main pages. It also looks like you need to close the Wikitable. It was gobbling up any text I put after the template call. — jmcgnh 04:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Category 3 (Level 3)
Status message	Featured hurricane
Moderate to high level of vandalism 17:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC) 4.35 RPM according to EnterpriseyBot	Larry near peak intensity in 2021.

I fixed the Wikitable closure part. — jmcgnh 04:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Ur browser

Its not the 1 MB of text at Talk EEng that made your browser to crash/become unresponsive it is the humongous amount of embedded images there. I dread clicking that link again. So much so, that I even dropped the idea of posting an archive suggestion.--DBigXrayᗙ 16:39, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
