This is a mess , with 2 different styles of sidenotes used.

Can someone set ONE style consistently across this, and leave a note on the talk page? [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 23:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

::::Yes indeed, I was puzzling over the endnotes solution to multiple asterisks and obelisks.  It does seem a shame to loose those lovely typographical creatures altogether though. Thanks for your response, and also the one on Errats, which is just as helpful, and more satisfying.

== &lt; pages > and Templates ==

I was trying to speed things up with {{tl|EB9 Transclusion}} by using template parameters in the < pages > term to reduce all the typing and redundancy, but nothing I try seems to work. I thought the problem might be the initial call and did {{tl|EB9.7 Transclusion}} in the hopes I could at least get one template per volume to work, but no luck there either. Am I missing something in the formatting? would I have to do it page by page using the old {{tl|page}} template? or is this just impossible?&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Llywelyn<font color="Gold">II</font></span>]] 06:55, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
:{{ping|LlywelynII}} I am going to guess on what you are talking about as you haven't provided a sample. Try using a <code><nowiki>{{#tag:}}</nowiki></code> or if you want to push a substitution then <code><nowiki>{{subst:#tag:}} </nowiki></code>. {{smaller|(See [[mw:Help:magic words]])}}. This will look something like<br />
{{center|1=<code style="font-size:smaller;"><nowiki>
{{subst:#tag:pages||index=index namespace title.djvu|from=nn|to=nn|fromsection={{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}|tosection={{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}}}</nowiki></code>}}
:This is one that I utilise all the time, and if you are having issues getting something to work, then feel free to {{tl|ping}} me. You can also look at {{tl|d}} which is a cheat's way of using {{tl|DNB00}}. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 04:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
::The sample was at the links, but thanks for the code. I'll try using that instead.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Llywelyn<font color="Gold">II</font></span>]] 04:39, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
:::As a side note, the issue failure of templates inside <code>&lt;pages ...></code> will also occur similarly in <code>&lt;ref></code>, and #tag used in the same way resolves most issues in refs; well except the [[w:Help:pipe trick]] that fails miserably in refs whichever way you try.
::I obviously need to keep learning since formatting that should work the same (same-line form of the template versus the multiline one) is behaving differently but at least one format of {{tl|EB9 Transclusion}} now works, so thanks!&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Llywelyn<font color="Gold">II</font></span>]] 05:08, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

== For Sale: A slightly used OAuth token, used to file transfer from IA to the Commons. ==

Some time ago, I purchased (was assigned) a working OAuth token to transfer files from Internet Archive to the Commons. Drove it once or twice, but for some unknown reason it died. The red indicator on the dashboard said #403, which means it no longer recognizes the token's validity. I contacted the salesman [[User:Tpt|Tpt]] for help, since it was his product, but he no longer seems to deal in tokens. I tried to disable/delete it in my preferences and ask for another working token, but it's as if it was tattooed on my account, (or another choice body part), and I can't get rid of it. I don't remember how I got the original either. [[User:Tpt|Tpt]] must have been selling them in some dark alley in my neighborhood. I then turned to Mediawiki which has lots of pages marked "out of date" and 0 info, (Just like the toolbars I bought in another dark alley transaction. - a dig which I could not forgo). Can anyone tell me what my options are? — [[User talk:Ineuw|Ineuw talk]] 00:50, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
:Test-drive the link at the bottom of [[User:Beeswaxcandle/Works]]. If it operates fine, I'll let you have one of the spare keys (copy it somewhere useful to you). [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 01:14, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
::Wow. Thanks. It works!!! I will borrow it.— [[User talk:Ineuw|Ineuw talk]] 01:28, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
::: I should say that you must use it only as a link and only while logged in at enWS. It cannot be used as a favourite and it will attribute the upload to your username on Commons. Attempts to use it in other ways will result in a return to the dark alley where arcane rude words will be yelled at you by cyborgs. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 01:38, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for the heads-up. I was concerned but tried, and it recognizes me as the uploader. It should be no problem Thanks again.— [[User talk:Ineuw|Ineuw talk]] 02:47, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

== User talk:Laura1822 ==

Isn't there anyone here smart enough to help this near blind girl see by changing the colors in common.js for her? She needs a '''black''' background. I have a medium grey background with black text.

:George is already working on it. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 03:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

:: I saw that he was but did not know if he still is. I don't use the new editor and my set-up works fine. Using my common.js it seems just changing the color codes would work. I also know I use both the gadget color, whatever that color default may be, ''plus'' what Inductive Load placed in my common.js which is medium grey/gray and black text. Sometimes old things work better than new things. Mine works fine. Thanks Beez, [[User:William Maury Morris II|—Maury]] ([[User talk:William Maury Morris II|talk]]) 03:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

:::Thank you all for the help!  Mr. Orwell fixed it.  [[User:Laura1822|Laura1822]] ([[User talk:Laura1822|talk]]) 14:29, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
