Thanks for the help
Hey Randompeeponiternet.

Thank you for contribution on the Left 4 Dead Wiki. I appreciate your work put on the Wiki.

Unfortunely the wiki is quite deserted lately. All other admins and bureaucrats has become inactive. I adopted the Wiki after a wave of vandalism. I once planned to do everything on improving the Wiki. But I fell into deep depression just few days after I got promoted as an admin, heavy burn-outs and very busy schedule that prevented me from doing all the planned tasks so I mostly reduced myself just to keep vandalism off the Wiki.

Sadly that there's very little activity lately. Now I noticed you making quite of good edits, I'm curious if you're able to being a long active user on the Wiki? Eventually when you made enough of edits and assuming you have good knowledge of the game. You may get promoted into an admin. Assuming you can actually be an Admin in the future. I feel constantly stressed lately, and more so after a council requested me to revamp the main page since it was outdated after the Fandom got migrated from Wikia. Which I requested to postpone but I don't know when he will be asking this again given I requested a break which is already been 2 months.

Hope you stay on the wiki for longer. If you need some help, I will be gladly to help you out. I check the wiki each 2~4 days (depending on my mood).

Regards.

 * Hey, yeah I noticed that back in the day. Supposedly it should been saved but for some reason it got reverted on it's own. I will try to see what I can do.

Adminship
Hey Randompeeponinternet.

I'm been considering to promote you into admin for the time being since you're currently one of active users out there that has best intrest to help out the Wiki. I know this is bit early and bit quick consider the active time of your account wasn't that long. (Though consider one of the former other admins got promoted even as little of 150 edits so maybe it could be okay, assuming Five Dog/O6ahrab doens't complain when they do return the wiki one day)

I'm currently got very busy out there with my life. And I'm slowly losing my intrest on editing the wiki lately due to the aforementioned reason.

Since you seems have lot of free time. Would you like I promote you into an Admin for the time being? Consider all other bureaucrats are inactive (last one was Five Dog).

Let me know what you think.

Regards

Yong Feng

RE:about gnome achievement, stub, achievement section on pc exclusive melee, and location section in all melee
Hey randompeep,

Thanks for the talk page message. Here is my reply:

-"GUARDIN' GNOME" is not a PC Exclusive achievement, as you can get it on Xbox 360 too. However, "Gnome Alone" is. I think you confused one for the other.

-We should add Tactics section to all melees, I agree.

-I think if the template for Achievements allows for the removal of Gamerscore (which only matters in the Xbox 360 version), then it should be removed for the Shovel and Pitchfork, since it is impossible to use them in the Xbox 360 version.

-Locations should be its own section in my opinion. But good point about the real life stuff.

Overall, I can understand why you reverted some of these edits, but I think I make a pretty good point for myself on all of them. I don't want to edit war either, but I'd like to see my edits come back on the pages. Let me know if you have any more questions.

RE:regarding about john doe npc
First and foremost, I haven't added an "incorrect info" since it is an unconfirmed theory.

My answer to each of your arguments:

''- as the text stated in the NPCs page, he can be heard coughing, which can hint that he is infected, while in the cabin where the dead guy it, there is a big blood splash followed after the big red "FIX IT", and theres usually a pistol/magnum inside, hinted that this guy commit suicide. if he is infected then he will slowly turn into an Infected and will wander around inside the cabin, while this guy is already collapsed. if this doesnt proof it then look at the second reason''

Then John Doe commited suicide and that's the reason why he is not found as a common infected.

''- just like real life, corpse decay slowly. by the look at this guy, he is already rotten, which is impossible in a very short amount of time because the time it take for you to travel from the watchtower to the cabin is around 1-2 min''

He had already lost his human appearance because of the infection, much like Lt. Mora was progressively losing it during The Sacrifice comic.

- as a bonus, you can first go into the cabin and see the corpse, then noclip back onto the watchtower and interact the radio, john doe will still there and responding

This does not count since it cannot be seen in normal gameplay. The player is supposed to only be able to use the radio before going to the final area, any bending of the game rules does not add canonical facts in terms of lore.

I am not going to start an "edit war" either, but I believe multiple theories should have space in the character section as long as they are identified as just unconfirmed fan theories.

CSS for reflist
Hey. So recently I've been investigating the behavior of notes/Efn in the, is used to tweak them. Wikipedia uses a wrapper  to customize reflists, see Wikipedia:Template:Reflist. Even though I could manually set div styles via wikitext with the  attribute, it's not possible to affect descendant tags and it's necessary to set   in the nested  tag. Therefore, we would need to actually edit CSS to enable these custom reference lists for normal references and notes. We could directly edit Common.css or import a Template:Reflist.css in Common.css to achieve this, given that the TemplateStyles extension isn't available. Template:Reflist.css would need to be protected as it affects Common.css. Which alternative would you prefer? I think a separate stylesheet is more organized until TemplateStyles becomes available.

There's also the question of columns, would we want to support them? Note that the existing reference lists wouldn't be affected because Template:Reflist.css only affects elements with a  class, which is only added by the reflist template. Alexis.coutinho (talk) 19:40, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The bare minimum CSS rule needed is:
 * I think the best thing to do here is to experiment in our personal common.css pages first, then, if nothing unexpected arises, we can create a separate css page for the template and call it in Common.css. This way, even if something unintended occurs, you could easily comment out one line to fix the issue. When I'm done experimenting with my common.css, I'll let you know so you can copy-paste it to test in your personal css. Alexis.coutinho (talk) 16:19, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

"The Leaker" page incorrectly set up
The page The Leaker has a broken redirect, but most strangely, why is it cascade protected?! Alexis.coutinho (talk) 23:06, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Recurring issues when editing and patroling new pages
Do you have problems only on new pages? Regarding missing templates and unused (so far) modules, I think is very unprobable that this is the problem. I haven't touched those modules in a couple of days and both of them are independent from other modules, so no missing dependency. Missing templates is a common thing on any wiki. This may be an issue/internal conflict on your side. Or maybe it's expected? i.e. patroling pages calling missing templates isn't possible? I suggest that you open a support/bug ticket on the Fandom support so that we can finally figure out the problem without wild guess-work. They replied to me very quickly and were very helpful, so I recommend :).
 * Oh, and btw, I've added this page to my watchlist so it's fine replying here ;). Alexis.coutinho (talk) 16:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Porting of templates
Regarding your concern with this, I don't understand what the problem is. Wouldn't you prefer to have working and neat template documentations instead of red transclusions everywhere? Most of these templates are simple documentation templates. They just make the future editor's life better when learning about each template. I've already been trimming a bunch of unnecessary information from the original documentations. Furthermore, a bunch of dependency templates I don't plan to port. I plan to keep those as red links, not red transclusions. For you to have an idea, I currently plan to port over these other pages: Some of them require modules, so I'll do them last once we figure out what your issues in new pages and patrolling really are.
