Wikia Coding
Yo SilentNocturne !

You seem pretty clued up when it comes to HTML coding so I have a quick question for you: how experienced are you when it comes to (wikia) coding, implementing templates etc. ?

Hello Demotivator. I am actually a programmer. While I don't specialize in web development, I do know a modest amount of it (html, css, javascript, etc.). I haven't specifically coded for wikis, but it looks like something I could pick up pretty quickly. It might be fun to try out, though at the moment I am fairly busy. Anything you have in mind?

Ahhhhh, that makes a lot of sense ! I wonder... what potential things could a programmer do on a wiki ? XD Anyway, I was generally just curious, it's rare to find someone who knows what they're doing (on this wiki at least) hahaha. Actually... you say you could pick up this stuff quickly right ? I'm gonna assume you know about wiki templates and how they work etc. so I'll get down to the meat and potatoes: How much do you know about the MediaWiki pages (more specifically this page) ?

It looks like this site is using the MediaWiki wiki system. I looked at their documentation briefly and it seems straightforward. The Common.js page here looks like it has some functions for searching for elements (which may not be needed nowadays), then it has code handling togglers, user tags, and including other files. (I noticed you are hardcoded in as a high ranker ;)). These are things I could modify, but it would take time, esp. if you don't want to break things for old browsers.

Awesome !! I think you might be able to help then ! Hehehe yeah I am, let's just say it's a ToG-related thing for the the users who've made a significant amount of edits XD Right then, better reveal my problem; I'm good at understanding and altering pre-existing codes and scripts to suit but I'm not too great when it comes to making stuff from scratch. Using the UserTags tutorial here I managed to implement UserTags for the wiki (as you saw). It's possible to add your own modules to UserTags (as explained here) and I want to add this module (the third example) (obviously with alterations). It's a bit of a long read and stuff but I was wondering if you could give me a hand in implementing it ?

I looked over the example, and it seems like it gives us a good foundation to build on. I haven't used jQuery or promises before, so it may take me a while to brush up on them. Hopefully we can get away with just tweaking the example. What kind of functionality do you want to implement? And when do you want this done by? Right now I'm pretty swamped.

That sounds like a good start ! Well basically I'd like for the custom UserTag "Ranker" to appear once a user has made (on all namespaces). Oh there's no rush at all, I can wait; this specific UserTag is just a special feature I'd like for our wiki to have !
