Squad Template

Hi. Do you know when you'd be able to sort that squad template Wikipedia uses for its football clubs? I am looking forward to getting the structure of the article set, so I can slowly add more and more bit to the article

I have created the Fs start, Fs player, Fs mid and Fs end templates. This should allow you to create squad lists in a similar way to Wikipedia. Note that that "nat" field and associated flag icon is not supported, so you do not need to include it. Owain (talk) 10:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that. Can you put it on the page for me between the headings ground and records . I will try but it's probably quicker for you to set it up. If you don't mind.

I just need RB to put his template of the football kits on the main infobox and I shall be pretty much done!

I have all the info here in code, but I don't know how to set it up to look normal. Obviously, when it's set up I can just edit it how I want.

No. Position Player – GK Chris Wearne – DF Charlie Simms – DF Pat Radziwonowski – DF Ben McCarthy – DF Jamie Clifton – DF Adam Tolfrey – DF Aaron Sutton – MF Matthew Duckham – MF Dan Murley – MF Luke Wilson – MF Hayden Sutton – MF Danny Ryan – MF Dale Allum

No. Position Player – MF Jack Reddings – MF Jack Hart – MF Ben Syson – MF Tom Greatorex – MF Lawrence Watt – MF Aaron Ryan – MF Brian Rampling – MF Chris Snelling – FW Max Suter – FW William Orriss – FW Anthony Trimm – FW Jon Pope – FW Daniele Bassanese – FW Richard Hughes

That's the mess I made. I'm not sure how to get into your templates

That would have worked fine if you had put the 'fs start' template at the beginning! Owain (talk) 16:57, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes! Sorted!! Just the kit templates to go now in the main info box. RB has done the templates for those. It's just a case of adding it correctly

Football Kit Template

Hi Owain. RB has created the Kit template but is having trouble getting it to work. As you know about the Wikipedia Footy Templates, can you help us out? I have described the colours of the kits (Home and Away). Either on his talk page or mine. Thank you

Maps

Hi, you replied to the post i asked about having the map on my own wiki. ideally would like to have the urk resolve to my own wiki address and also the following to resemble mine instead of using your address http://wikishire.co.uk/map/colour/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

but instead have http://mywikiexampleurl.co.uk/map/colour/${z}/${x}/${y}.png I looked at the source code and most of it uses open layers and slippy which underatnd but its getting url to be my wiki instead

If your web server is running Apache you can use an .htaccess file with Redirect or mod_rewrite rules to achieve this. For instance, the SABRE maps site at http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/ requests tiles using its own URLs but these are then redirected to wikishire URLs. You could also use mod_rewrite in conjunction with mod_proxy to transparently reverse proxy URLs if you don't want redirects. Owain (talk) 10:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Request to be an admin on Saturday, June 15, 2019

I want to be an administrator to help with operating Wikishire because:
I want to upload files.

Any other comments given by user (if necessary)

I’d really like to upload new protection locks. I am using an iPad, and I have made photos of padlocks on PicCollage.

Decline

Strong decline I am going to have to decline. As a brand-new user you have not demonstrated that you know enough about the purposes of the Wiki, have not actually created any content, and the few templates you have made show a bias towards American English spelling and non-British concepts. Furthermore, we do not upload files directly here, but rather use Wikimedia Commons for this task. The integrity of the Wiki is paramount, and as such you would need to prove yourself as a valuable contributor over a longer period of time before any request for greater authority is seriously considered.

{{protected page text/interface|type=JS}}

and MediaWiki:Customcssprotected with:

Thank you, Owain! Highest User (talk) 04:15, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Mistake noted on a page of one of the Hundreds of Cheshire

Church Lawton is shown as being a constituant parish on the Northwich Hundred but the text matter in the Wikipedia article onChurch Lawton states it was in the Nantwich Hundred, so if so, it needs moving to the correct page.

Xenophon Philosopher (talk) 19:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Not for the first time, Wikipedia is incorrect. Church Lawton is listed as part of Northwich hundred in the 1831 census], and the 1882 OS six-inch map shows the western boundary of the parish to be the boundary between the Nantwich and Northwich hundreds, thus placing it in the latter. Owain (talk) 12:06, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the information above.  Will you please correct the incorrect text section of the  Wikipedia articcle.
