UCX implementation
Hi Hector

Got your message regarding the UCX implementation, sounds interesting. I would obviously have to see what it looks like initially before I can make any decisions.

The front page layout doesn't have a lot of custom code, outside of the shop template, so it should be seemless enough to get a good looking design together.

My main worry is in regards to the margins and how content adapts to ads. I've spent a lot of time making sure everything fits in that regard. And I know it would certainly not fit on Fandom's narrow margin design.

I'm open to experimenting, however the recent FandomMobile "upgrade" was quite a hassle, so I'm not as optimistic as I could be. Skolander (talk) 18:34, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Two Requests for the wiki
Hello again.

Writing to you here because my own talk page stopped working in FandomDesktop for some reason. Onto the requests.

First request is if there's a way to control the TippingOver Extension's font? It is the one that controls the wiki's tooltips, the template of which can be found here.

It's using a weird font in the title now in both FandomDesktop & Mobile. I'm unaware if you can use css to force fonts, if so an easy solution might be found simply editing the template. Otherwise I think some tinkering with the extension itself is required.


 * Edit: I solved this first issue on my own. But I discovered a new issue, with the tooltips, their behaviour is very inconsistent with this skin. And on some pages they don't work at all, like the main page. I suspect it has something to do with template transclusion, but I can't figure out the cause.

Second request is if you can inform me how to add a pattern to the background, or a custom image? It's not an option in the Theme Designer, even though I swear it used to be. Examples: Zelda & Dragonball Wikis. Thanks. Skolander (talk) 16:32, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Skolander! Sorry for the delay. Fortunately it seems my talk page is working. Regarding yours, it's a known and ticketed issue and I hope it will be fixed soon.


 * Regarding your first request, it seems you already found a solution. Anyway, I don't know too much more about it and I'm not sure if I can help you more before asking to other people. For this kind of issues, and other more (not related with the migration itself) I also recommend you to go to the Discord server we have. There are many people and probably someone can easily and quickly help with anything that other people (like me) should investigate first. And just in any case, if an issue/problem/comment can't be solved, I can later investigate/ticket it/report it.


 * I've been able to narrow down the issue with the tooltips a little bit. Image links to tooltips don't work whatsoever anymore in my testing. I suspect this might be because something called "$wgtoEnableOnImageLinks" isn't enables? I read about it here. Secondly, text links to tooltips only work if the link is in the top half of the screen for some reason, it's the weirdest bug ever. A link can show a tooltip just fine, until you scroll up and it's in the lower half of the screen, and suddenly it doesn't. Hope this info helps you come up with a fix. All links work properly in the Hydra skin, so I suspect it's a Fandom thing. I've contacted the creator of the Extension, he's working on it. Let's hope it resolves itself shortly, or I might have to switch to a new extension. Skolander (talk) 00:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've been watching your conversation on Discord about this. The people who talked with you know much more about it than me, so I actually recommend you to follow the issue there (anyway I'll take a look to the progress of it). And yes, it seems the creator is one of our Wiki Representatives, so I hope it will help you to solve the situation. Unfortunately, the WR assigned to this wiki, user:Sitb, is no longer working with us (and I think we didn't replace him yet). CuBaN VeRcEttI (Contact) 12:00, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Regarding the background, the ThemeDesigner only allows to add an image but to be used as a background image for the header, with a different use of what we had previously on Hydra. Anyway, a custom background image can be added for the whole content area, like I can see now you already guessed it. They proper way is using CSS. Again, it seems you already solved your question, but I'm happy to help you if you need anything else. CuBaN VeRcEttI (Contact) 15:10, 16 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Cool, I might check out the discord. Can you investigate the tooltip issue I have in the meantime? That's the largest issue the wiki has atm.


 * I wouldn't mind switching to another more modern extension / javascript solution, but there's literally hundreds of tooltip pages currently, so unless we somehow get a bot to edit all of them, it would be impossible to change their source to accomodate a new extension's template. So I hope we can just get the current one working properly. Skolander (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
