Now optionally supports a style attribute and it outputs a proper table in html instead of using an iframe -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 20:00, 31 January 2007 (CET)

tag: sort

Added a new extension that creates a tag to sort lists: <sort>

see Sort

It works like this:

<sort>
all
your
base
are
belong
to
us
</sort>

Will produce this:

• all
• are
• base
• belong
• to
• us
• your

Counter

The 377 ({{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}) doesn't update unless something changes in the mainpage. Why's that? Gonzo (talk | contribs) 12:09, 1 February 2007 (CET)

I think it does, see my tip on purging cache, maybe if you do that it will update ? You can also check on special:statistics, that should afair always update -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 17:56, 2 February 2007 (CET)

What links here

What would be a accurate way to describe this? I wanted to rename it but "Pages that link to this page" is way to long. I only found out about this link recently and I like it! Though if you never press it, you probably won't know what it does. Gonzo (talk | contribs) 12:01, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Can you even edit it ? it's in the toolbox menu which is context based (ie. it changes based on what kind of page you are on). And it's a standard mediawiki function so please do not rename it even if you could, since it would confuse the people that are used the mediawiki toolbox. -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 12:57, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Ok, won't do it :) You can rename it: [[1]] Gonzo (talk | contribs) 13:13, 5 February 2007 (CET)

True, i think that is mostly for localization, ie. for foreign languages, anyway, remember the help pages refer to the default names, so there needs to be a really good reason to rename it ;) -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 13:36, 5 February 2007 (CET)
