How do i create a template on my page

i want to create a template just for my useroage but i didnt find no tutorial online so please help

if you're making it just for your userpage then i think it'd be better to put the css directly in your page rather than use a template. but either way to make a template you go to page Template:YourTemplateNameHere, create the page with the css for your template then when you want to use it type {{ and look up your template's name and use it. if you dont know how to write the css just copy from another template and modify the colors (hexcodes) or text to suit your needs Cobblestone (talk) 07:56, 30 November 2024 (EST)

It's actually pretty simple. But if you don't understand mediawiki that much, You might have some troubles.

To show you, imma go with Template:NeedsMoreContext,

border: Makes the outlines of the template. Make it usually "2px solid #000", You can add a valid color in the #, Just, make the letters big.

padding: I really don't know about this. It adds a.. Padding? I guess. Add a valid px and you're done, After you type in the px, Make sure to add ;". 

cellpadding= - cellspacing= : Probably something the padding. I usually use style margin, by the way, You don't add px to this. Just add a number.

align= : Aligns the padding and the font. Make it usually center. Add " both sides of the center. So it would be valid.

|BGCOLOR=#ffff|: Background color. Again, But it's probably something with the font because there's 2 backgrounds. Or it just adds shadows.

I'm too lazy to continue here and I don't want this paragraph to just be discarded. I'll be back soon. Anyways see ya. --Tvrkicwvrriorforyuo (talk) 11:27, 27 December 2024 (EST)

padding is the space between the borders and the stuff inside the div box or table cell in question. padding is what you apply to the box/cell and "margin" is applied to the thing inside but they both do the same thing essentially. cellpadding is like padding (but applied to all items in the table as far as i know) and cellspacing is the space between the cells (boxes) of a table themselves. also {| is syntax that starts a mediawiki table https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables/en but html style tables are less Incomprehensible so i suggest those instead. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp but actually if you just want to make a normal template you dont need a table. you can just use a div box Cobblestone (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2024 (EST)

Revamped

Main pages has been revamped (yoinked from ED with modifications). Now the dailyjak and featured gems are automatically retrieved based on a subpage with the day's date on it. if it cant find it it'll look for up to 2 days behind. now you can schedule features and jaks ahead of time. just make sure to add them to the archive linked under the relevant sections once you're done Cobblestone (talk) 10:05, 11 December 2024 (EST)

The categories section is a placeholder and must eventually be replaced with a collection of portals for soy culture ('jaks, events, soystory, soylitics) and soyical arts ('jakking, soycripture (the writing and maintenance of this wiki), adventures, soy folklore) Cobblestone (talk) 11:25, 11 December 2024 (EST)

Shouldn’t the link to soyjak.party go to soyjak.st considering the main domain is down currently and has been for a while? Also the .st domains are way more reliable in staying up then the .party ones.

good idea, i'll do that. Cobblestone (talk) 10:54, 11 December 2024 (EST)

dramatica home page much? the old page was easier on the eye tbh — Preceding unsigned comment added by De stalin (talk • contribs)

so far i've had overwhelmingly more people telling me they approve of the new page rather than disapprove so i think it was a good decision. if you have some concrete suggestions i'd be happy to take them THOUGH. the old page was dead Cobblestone (talk) 05:44, 14 December 2024 (EST)

this page is way too similar to the dramacuck homepage, maybe make it more unique? — Preceding unsigned comment added by De Stalin (talk • contribs)

Its not way too similar its straight up copied, thoughever most users here seem to love it and the guy put a lot of effort setting it up so there's nothing we can do

Tell me your opinions. FactChecker (talk) 15:32, 18 December 2024 (EST)

i think it's a good idea but coalson is of the opinion that we should have the boxes line up so we might need another section on the other side to even things out or something. also it seems you removed the paragraph styling from the major events section Cobblestone (talk) 15:54, 18 December 2024 (EST)

The Dailyjak image doesn't properly resize when inserted into the Main Page

This usually results in it clipping out of the Main Page box and even the browser window. --Anon

fixed (for now; the images have to be sized manually) Cobblestone (talk) 13:56, 31 January 2025 (EST)

Might have a permanent fix. This is code that renders the dailyjak (starts at line 19 in the main page source):

             <div style="border-radius:5px; background: #EEF2FF; padding:5px 10px 10px 10px;">
                <h2 style="color:#AF0A0F;border:none; text-align:center; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:25px; font-weight:bold;">The Dailyjak</h2>
                    <!--...OTHER CODE...-->
            </div>

We could give this wrapper div a class like dailyjak-wrapper and stylize it like this:

.dailyjak-wrapper img {
    width: 100% ! important;
    height: auto ! important;
}

But, honestly, I think all CSS on that page should be moved to a separate styles file as inline CSS is cancer-aids.

i'll try that. thanks. let me add that real quick Cobblestone (talk) 14:43, 31 January 2025 (EST)

it is done. let me move it to an official css styles page instead of having it come from my sandbox Cobblestone (talk) 14:50, 31 January 2025 (EST)

You wiki admins should demote 9a0c from wiki janny, here's why

Demote 9a0c from wiki admin. He is addicted to gooning to Tama and censors everything negative about it. The current Tama page is a mess it lies and says that Tama came from the Sharty that is a blatant lie it came from the shemmy (why else is it the favicon of the shemmy booru) and they locked the page. This is not professional behaviour. He is acting like a spoiled manchild and does not deserve to be a wiki admin. Or a sharty admin but we can discuss that another time.

of course. you could also modify the background into a simple brown gingerbread recolor for christmas for example. maybe some custom CSS borders etc if you want to go that far. Cobblestone (talk) 15:30, 29 May 2025 (EST)

You could even make it automated by using mediawikis built in date functions, just an idea though. We can add more the template as needed Fenriris 🐺 16:22, 30 May 2025 (EST)

In case anyone wants to revert the changes, remember to also revert today's changes in Template:MainPage.css. Cobblestone (talk) 02:53, 24 July 2025 (EST)

It's fine, but the templates like to leak outside of the box e.g. Gem template inside the box adds the gem icon to the main page header. Also I can't edit Template:Northbox because it's being used on the front page. Also Template:Nusoi now looks really shit North (talk) 10:23, 25 July 2025 (EST)

Wait a sec, you are right. I could probably come up with some css or something that removes that from included pages by doing css selector abuse. Ill take a look Fenriris 🐺 10:33, 25 July 2025 (EST)

i noticed that issue too but i think it would be annoying to fix it. let me know what you come up with Cobblestone (talk) 10:54, 25 July 2025 (EST)

Here is what I found out. It looks like it is not possible since Indicators are rendered at parse-time and are not part of the transcluded page’s output. It might be possible with some kind of module. Fenriris 🐺 11:40, 25 July 2025 (EST)

For the main page only, we could do: .mw-indicators {display: none !important;}, but the only problem with that solution is that it gets rid of all indicators. Better than nothing I guess. If anyone else is using Northbox, they could use this too. Fenriris 🐺 12:17, 25 July 2025 (EST)

Could work. The other issue is categories spilling. Both issues aren't really a big deal so honestly I wasn't going to fix them. Cobblestone (talk) 19:43, 25 July 2025 (EST)

Announcement

For the first time ever, subpages now actually work on the 'ki. All namespace issues have also been fixed and featured gems will no longer show up in the random gem search. Cobblestone (talk) 22:03, 13 August 2025 (EST)

I'll say this here as well (mediawiki extension i made)

I read up on mediawiki and made an extension to play SWFs that have been uploaded to the 'ki.
It is immune to cross site scripting, unlike the other Flash extensions which got deleted from mediawiki for user input directly to the browser.
Just download and extract the zip and put this in your local settings: require_once "$IP/extensions/SWFPopup/SWFPopup.php";
Add this to any wiki page: <swf>File:Flash.swf height=266 width=474</swf> and you click the link and it opens in a popup.
Of course, you should do the same network traffic and link opening blocking that the sharty does. You can just add the sharty's ruffle configuration to the Common.js file popup html that gets generated inside the JS file when a flash link is clicked.

Something to look out for when doing daily jaks

For today’s Daily Jak, Dailyjak:Main_Page/The_Dailyjak/August_25,_2025, I noticed that it wasn’t loading correctly on the other sites because the link was trying to pass in MediaWiki markup (|400px) directly into the browser URL, which caused the error. That kind of markup only works inside wiki pages and shouldn’t be included in external links. It looks like Quote’s code is pulling that markup and inserting it into the link for some reason when sending it to the other sites. So in the future, when adding a Jak, it should not have any MediaWiki parameters in it; otherwise the link will break outside of the wiki.

You can see an example of what I mean in the image:

I will look in the other jaks now that have that issue and remove any extra parameters they have. Fenriris 🐺 00:52, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
