Bug reports

"Error on page" in IE6

I'm getting an "Error on page" notification using IE6 on WinXP (SP2) which only comes up when I invoke your popup (which incidentally is great :-). The report I get from IE says the error is Expected ';' on Line 1 at Character 51. It says Code 0, whatever that means. Behind that there is apparently also a Syntax error at Character 61 of Line 1. Like I say, the page loads fine: this error only manifests itself when the popup appears. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 10:04, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Odd. I have no access to IE so unfortunately have nothing intelligent to say. If you can find a good debugger and try to pinpoint the problem yourself I'd be grateful. Lupin|talk|popups 11:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Put in a good word for me with the deity of your choice: I have downloaded the MS Script Debugger and will install it ASAP :-) —Phil | Talk 09:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Alas, I cannot figure out how to invoke the darn thing properly. It's quite willing to pop up for other things, but seems to ignore Wikipedia totally. Nonetheless I shall persevere :-) —Phil | Talk 16:18, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

New look

I just want to say I love the new look, it's alot more classy IMO. -Greg Asche (talk)

Now as soon as I said that I noticed something. The links to contribs and kate's tool are gone at links to user/user talk pages. Is this intentional, or was it simply a mistake? -Greg Asche (talk) 01:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Glad you like the new look! There should be a separate "user" menu (which, confusingly, is in normal text style, not a big link) next to the main menu rollover which appears for user links. The rationale is that it should stop the menu growing incredibly large. Maybe this is a bad idea.... see Wikipedia_talk:Tools/Navigation_popups. Suggestions welcome!

I don't like the new "hover once, then hover twice" to get at the actions part of the menu. Could this be made optional? I mostly use it for those actions. It seems like it is now being tailored more for people who only use it to preview articles. User:Omegatron/sig 01:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

It is optional. To get back the old style popups, set popupStructure='original';. For this and other interesting tidbits, see WP:POP. Lupin|talk|popups 00:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Geodis

Can we get this to detect {{geodis}} as a disambiguation tag? Morwen - Talk 22:57, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

We can - this is working in the dev version, which will become the stable version in time. Lupin|talk|popups 00:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

My little "wish list"

Hi, dunno if this would be possible, but if it was it would I for one would find it very usefull indeed.

When you pop up information on an image page it would be helpfull if the resolution and file size of the image was included somewhere, this would make it easy to spot images that are a bit liberal with the definition of "low resolution" with regards to fair use images.

Another thing that I think would be a huge help would be if you could somehow include a list of "image tags" that are present on a page (as well as raise a "red flag" if there are none whatsoever). What I mean is that when you "pop up" information on an image it would include a list or something wich would imedeately tell you what licence (if any) the image has, wether it's tagged as "no source", or listed on speedy deletion, IFD or PUI and things like that (I guess the easiest approach would be to parse the HTML version and just dump a list of category links as all the important templates have categories attached). --Sherool (talk) 16:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Another minor thing is that with admin links eneabled the delete URL should be http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:[image name]&image=[image name]&action=delete and not just http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:[image name]&action=delete for for images. Otherwise the actual image is left intact and only the description page is deleted. --Sherool (talk) 16:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Copying to other wikis

Hi! Would it be OK if I copied this script to no: and nn:? Or do you prefer to create your own account(s) and copy the script yourself? If I'm going to do the copying, we'll have to sort out credits and also routines for updating. --Eddi (Talk) 19:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
