R&R Conversion
If you're using AWB to automate this, you need to check what it's changing more carefully. You can't use R&R inside the nation infobox because that links to in-game, and the in-game name is RnR. Making it R&R makes the stats link broken because it doesn't exist. ~  Locke    talk    contribs    nation    07:22, Thursday, 5 January 2012 (ET)

Re: Imagemap
Sweet! I might have to try that out sometime. And yeah no problemo about the time code, MvP made mine. I haven't even looked at it very closely :P. I like the sig :D but my OCD wants the top-right corner to be flat too :P. Good point about the nation link, custom signatures do get pretty long. Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;02:01, Monday, 9 January 2012  &#32;
 * Just so you know, your new signature only has the rounded corner in Firefox, and not in any other browser; if you want it consistent (though to my knowledge IE does not support it period), use  instead. See Locke's signature a couple messages above for an example.          Michael von Preußen  |  talk
 * I wouldn't bother using multiple declarations, it gets annoying. From W3S: "[the] border-radius property is supported in IE9+, Firefox 4+, Chrome, Safari 5+, and Opera." I might mess around with it a bit tomorrow, right now I need to get to sleep as soon as possible :P. Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;02:45, Monday, 9 January 2012   &#32;
 * Hmm, must've gotten wider adoption recently. Well, good to know. Anyway, I may be able to do what you want, but I'm not entirely sure I understand exactly what it is you're looking for. Perhaps you could sketch it out for me or something?         Michael von Preußen  |  talk

How's what I've done? I've only included CSS3 specifications per Bobo's note, but the format's the same if you want to expand it.         Michael von Preußen  |  talk

Re: Another question MvP
The short answer is 'no'. Much as I would love Special:ListUsers to be transcludable, much like Special:EditCount is, it is not, and I am unaware of any way to get a hold of information like that or to display it outside of Special:ListUsers.

The long answer is that it should be possible to code a bot to collect data from Special:ListUsers and display it in a table form on an external website, or even in your browser as an addon or extension. Unfortunately, this would require external hosting (unless you could find a way to do it entirely in JavaScript), and since most free hosting disables the ability to read information from external domains, you'd probably need paid hosting. Aside from all this, it would just be a whole crapload of work, which would be complicated by Special:ListUsers' very weird AJAX loading system.         Michael von Preußen  |  talk

Re: AWB being irksome
Well, did you put it in Find and Replace (Normal Settings button) in the Options tab and check both Enabled boxes? As long as you put it in the right place and have it turned on with the options set correctly, it should work. Also, my sandbox has no peaks. :P <span style="background:black; color:white; padding:3px; padding-left:5px; border-radius:15px 0 0 15px; white-space:nowrap;">Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;<span style="background:black; color:white; padding:3px; padding-right:5px; border-radius:0 15px 15px 0; white-space:nowrap;">21:50, Monday, 9 January 2012   &#32;

So, I made some changes to your signature you should preview to make sure I didn't mess it up. Firstly, I replace times with Times New Roman, as I assume that's what you were going for, and times may or may not be interpreted properly (I got the default sans-serif font for my browser, for example). I also replaced oblique with italic, since the effect is usually identical with current browser and font technology, and oblique in particular is not supported in a disproportionate amount of legacy browsers. <span style="font-size:xx-small; border-color:#FFD700; border-width:2px;background-color:#009530; border-style:groove; white-space:pre;">        Michael von Preußen  |  talk

Re: Invicta job tags table
Well, it's nice to have backwards-compatibility with older versions of Webkit and Firefox, especially given how widespread Firefox 3.6 is still. Not to mention, Webkit, Firefox, and Presto all manage multiple values differently: not a problem for single-value declarations like these, but vendor-prefixing can still save you a nightmare if you ever decide to change it. <span style="font-size:xx-small; border-color:#FFD700; border-width:2px;background-color:#009530; border-style:groove; white-space:pre;">        Michael von Preußen  |  talk
 * Meh, up to you. It's generally less of an issue with signatures, because it's less important they be standardized than an article element like a template, and it's also usually desirable to keep their code to a minimum to preserve the readability of talk pages. Not that this custom-signature-happy wiki seems to care :P <span style="font-size:xx-small; border-color:#FFD700; border-width:2px;background-color:#009530; border-style:groove; white-space:pre;">        Michael von Preußen  |  talk
 * I'd recommend against making how-tos like the one for this on mainspace pages. Move it to a Cyber Nations Wiki page or something, so it doesn't count towards the article cound and can't show up using Special:Random. <span style="font-size:xx-small; border-color:#FFD700; border-width:2px;background-color:#009530; border-style:groove; white-space:pre;">        Michael von Preußen  |  talk
 * Probably one with both of them, or perhaps one to serve as an index, and put individual how-tos at subpages of it. You could even go as generic as Project:How-to, and further break it down from there. Project:How-to/Job Tags/NPO, for example. <span style="font-size:xx-small; border-color:#FFD700; border-width:2px;background-color:#009530; border-style:groove; white-space:pre;">        Michael von Preußen  |  talk

Re:Observer status in STOP
Sorry for the late reply; internet was out. :P Observers on STOP (in the RP sense) are basically members without voting priveleges and is exempt from the Security Council's juridstinction. If a roleplayer was roleplaying a nation with observer status, they'd still would have the same amount of access as a standard signatory. Hope that clears any curiosity! :P Cheers, &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 21:29, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd think so too. However, most "observers" are roleplayed by a roleplayer who happens to roleplay a signatory. Of course, of all the observers that are not, they are generally not as enthusiastic as a roleplayer who is a signatory. Generally, an observer feels more like a semi-OoC distinction. However, just the existence of observers in STOP provides more realism to the PDS. But yeah, you might as well be a signatory than an observer. :) &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 04:32, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
