From Elwiki

I see that I'm not the only one heavily affected by the tables' tabs... I too am not familiar so I can't do much myself. e_e I'm guessing it's with the MediaWiki files (as an admin had edited them earlier) so we can't exactly do much either. iDesoZ | Talk 15:30, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Yeah; seems like something funny is going on there (pardon the mass of edits, lol; trying to see what I can do there, as well as trying to track down potential simple formatting issues through trial/error) but the tabs just aren't working at the moment. Something has definitely gone wrong, and has been for a while; I think someone made a change without realizing the impact but I don't know when it happened so I can't track down the issue. --Cysic (talk) 15:33, 29 January 2015 (EST)

If you were checking out the Recent Changes to the wiki (points at upper left) you probably would've seen the edits to MediaWiki's js and css. That should prooobably explain something. iDesoZ | Talk 15:58, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Ahhh, yeah. I didn't think to scroll through it off-hand, since I wasn't sure how long they've been broken. I remember this having issues in the past (which I generally navigated around by accessing the template pages directly) so I never thought to double-check. I guess we'll just have to wait for the CSS to get fixed or reverted (assuming something broke), else we'll have to reformat the pages completely which would be a pain. That said I'm a little surprised; I didn't think the codebase was maintained constantly, since elwiki has so many orphan pages. --Cysic (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Well... they were kinda working on making the wiki look like the new game UI. Changes had to be made. Idk why they were reverted though. Seemed great anyway. iDesoZ | Talk 16:07, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Ah, that would explain it then. I never saw those changes (might've missed the period they were active), but I look forward to seeing how they turn out. Always nice to have a snazzy UI. Can only imagine they were reverted due to formatting issues or something, possibly due to some issues with integrating it into some of the pages? I don't know... But hopefully whatever the case is here will be touched up soon. I'll probably drop a note on Box's talk page if it's not working in a few days, we'll see. --Cysic (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2015 (EST)

About the tabs

  • I am sorry for mass changes, but I have realized the slow loading of tabs months ago... It loads and then take minutes before switching to the first (default) tab, because the switching code is written at the very top of the JS file, and it need to run the whole bunch stuff. And, before that, it should retieve all cached styles.... I am still trying to figure out a way to make it faster.
  • For the UI stuff, I did it before but Kajin complain that the color does not seem good (with black background and white fonts), so I reverted it back, and try to figure out a good color set. Also, there are some browser compatibility problems to be solved on new trick used. -- From Boxsnake (talk) 07:52, 30 January 2015 (EST)
