Template:VoiceNav and Template:John_Patrick_Lowrie

 * VoiceNav should be an actual navigation, and it's current content in Template:VoiceNav/item.
 * Thanks. Fixed. --Kroocsiogsi
 * I also don't see the point of Template:John_Patrick_Lowrie - doing that for every voice actor is going to be laborious
 * Not at all. There aren't that many. I will create all the templates, and they are a cinch to maintain. --Kroocsiogsi
 * and I don't think there is much reason for it - all of that information can be easily contained in a page about John Patrick Lowrie - and it doesn't need to be on any other pages. - RJ 11:15, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Surely it's more elegant than what it replaces? --Kroocsiogsi 19:19, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I don't like it... would prefer it being just a piece of trivia - we don't need everything in a template. I'd be curious to hear what other people think though, maybe I'm the only one who isn't a fan. :p - RJ 19:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * But a template makes it so much easier to maintain! Maybe there's a design change that'd change your mind? Remove the pictures to make it cleaner? --Kroocsiogsi
 * I think it all can be merged into one template. Will try when i wake up tomorrow. Redefining history 19:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's an interesting possibility. If I'm thinking of the same thing you are, one disadvantage would be that the title of the NavBox couldn't have an individual actor, so readers would need to expand the NavBox to find the single most important piece of information. -Kroocsiogsi
 * It can have different titles imo. Try  Redefining history 19:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Try transferring all your content to Template:VoiceNav I created. Redefining history 20:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, give me a minute. I'm almost done with the content. --Kroocsiogsi
 * Ah. We were not thinking along the same lines. Now I see what you're doing, but I fail to see the point. You're swapping out the entire content of the template depending on which voice actor is provided. Seems needlessly complex to me. -Kroocsiogsi
 * Imo that would be better, such that everything would be compressed into one template. Idk though. Redefining history 20:32, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyways I need some sleep first. 3:30 AM here. Bye. Redefining history 20:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Ad Code
It's fine to let me know you feel the ad code is too long, although there is no point to spamming my talk page with 250,000+ characters for something I can see without your assistance. - ♫  BUM  BLE  06:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was rude of me. I was trying to make an impression. --Kroocsiogsi 20:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Axe Jon St. John

 * Staff note - these are confirmed. Nothing to see here. -Lancey 06:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * How do you explain this?
 * Line 42094: //dota/staging/content/dota/sound/vo/Jen_Taylor_2010-07-26/Morphling/Selects/mrph_shitwiz_01.wav#1 - branch change 984463 (binary)
 * --Kroocsiogsi 20:03, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant. There's no credited voice actor for Axe, therefore we're going with the one mentioned in the files. -Lancey 23:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. --Kroocsiogsi

You talked to the wrong person
The guy changing recommended items is User talk:Nightmare not User talk:Nero0408. Redefining history 07:02, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Fixed. Thanks. --Kroocsiogsi

Run on every language
If you are going to ask RJ to run this User:Kroocsiogsi/RBotson, can you ask him to run it on every language? Thanks. Redefining history 08:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

"cast"
Yeah I manually replaced all double-byte "cast" into single-byte ones. You can now ask RJ to run the bot on zh pages again. Redefining history 05:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Question about unreleased hero responses
If I may ask the question, how did you get Invoker's responses?

I saw Phantom Assassin's responses long ago, tried to find it in the game files, but didn't find neither PAs (who has responses listed) nor Bane (who not only has them listed, but also uploaded).


 * --Shalafi 22:59, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Phantom Assassin's responses are just taken from her subtitle files. Bane's audio was in game at one point, and has been removed since. Invoker, too, is just subtitles. -Lancey 23:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Check in Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\resource. All the subtitle files are listed there, including Phantom Assassin, Bane, and Invoker. The sound files themselves are found inside the main VPK, under sound\vo. (Bane's responses have since been removed from this location; Invoker's and Phantom Assassin's responses have not yet appeared.) --Kroocsiogsi 00:28, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ahh, that's what I was suspecting. It was the only logical explanation for Bane having sound files and not the rest. Thank you for the answers. -Shalafi 18:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Responses
Does the wiki let old revisions be saved as a new version? It didn't seem to notice it and the edit page didn't say anything about it either. - J.P. 01:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If I understand your question, it should warn you of an edit conflict and request that you manually merge your changes. I've seen it misfire once, so maybe it's a bug. --Kroocsiogsi 01:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * There weren't any warnings, like i said. - J.P. 01:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, that's why I said "maybe it's a bug". :-D --Kroocsiogsi 01:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yea, i just wanted to point that out :D - J.P. 01:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback :)
Thanks for the feedback on my editing on the Juggernaut responses page. I had no idea someone was in charge of that area, or I would have asked before taking over the project as my own! Good to see you approve. And I'll definitely take on board your rules and suggestions with regard to the nonverbal sounds and unnecessary punctuation. Thanks again!

PS: Had no idea where to reply to your comments on my talk page, there or here. I'll try here and see what happens :P ~Cowbell 20:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

"Used in" and "Components"
Try to make those lines unclickable in the item pages if possible. Redefining history 05:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's easy. I'll do it in a second. I'm trying to figure out the excess padding right now. --Kroocsiogsi 05:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Partially blocked by Linken's/Magic Immunity
I think that when an ability is partially blocked then more details should be put inside the notes in addition to the tooltip, since not everyone can be expected to know that mousing over the little BKB icon will reveal more information, whereas the notes are obviously right there in the open. Said note should be at the top of the note list as well, in my opinion. Since you were the only one to modify things in such a way so far I figured I'd swing that by you. --Pigbuster 18:15, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, good point. I'll revert my edits. --Kroocsiogsi 18:26, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Valve defined Roles/Items
I've took some time to read the chatlog today, and saw a discussion on this and here is my input.

While personally I disagree with some of Valve's roles/items, I also disagree on DP being a carry and the discussion would never end for which role would suit any particular hero best, that's why we leave it to Valve. For anyone who would want to express their own opinion on how to build on these heroes, we (will soon) have the guide section. Redefining history 09:19, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

JQuery stuff
User:Nickoladze/common.js - Works perfect except its stretching the image. I believe Mediawiki serves up a different URL for whatever size you want the image to be displayed (50px in this case), and I'm assigning that exact URL to the main image (100px in this case). Unsure of a way around this. Maybe we should have all the small images be 100px in wiki code, but style the table cell so the browser and not MediaWiki resizes them down to 50px on the fly? Ping me in IRC or say something on my talk page when you think about this. - Nickoladze 23:27, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I would do. --Kroocsiogsi 17:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

New extension bits
Take a look at User:Nickoladze/Sandbox/top5 and User:Nickoladze/Sandbox/top10 (grab my common.css again). This is what I've done, using the exact output that would come from my new extension templates and wrapping them in tables. The output from each contains some hardcoded stuff that I'm pretty sure I can't get around (the link to the page). The output kinda looks like this on both of them (the only difference between the two is the class ratingsfull or ratingsmini), repeated some number of times: STAR STUFF TITLE In both lists, the "0 / 5 (0 votes cast)" stuff is hidden, and votes cannot be cast. All my code changes are in a single modified file from the original extension, hopefully I can get it through Curse decently fast... This is all I can think of for now, mostly putting this here so I don't forget anything. - Nickoladze 05:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, somehow I seemed to have made that pages at Sandbox/top5 and Sandbox/top10. I was up too late. - Nickoladze 20:04, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Loops
Hi! Your engine are support cycles? On the other wiki-projects I've seen it. If not - how difficult bring them into code? Sorry for my broken English. :D --aUSS 08:09, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
