Autopatrolled
Hello, I have added the auto-patrolled flag to your account. This indicates you are trusted and your edits no longer need to be manually checked. It also, optionally, gives you the ability to mark other peoples edits as 'patrolled'. Happy editing, ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  09:32, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

The Mirror
Thanks for visiting The Mirror, and for your comment on the formatting! What happens is that News plants a list of recent news articles. But then MH:TheMirror:MediaWiki:Common.js moves the entire list out to the website sidebar. I see that it first calls for a right margin of 0; I must have had a reason for that! If I'm wrong, that's the place to make the change. I'll look into this from my phone, as my only PC that has access to The Mirror has standing orders not to display the sidebar at all.

My more recent "news" writing is at the rebirth of classic Uncyclopedia at https://uncyclopedia.ca

Happy to meet another person who does not dot her i's!  09:17 30-Jun-2020




 * Hi Spike, thank you for your answer. Not quite sure what does not dot her i's means, that I use a capital letter for I? Lily (Lilypond Wiki talk and I will listen) 11:44, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. What I explain, above, is that there is JavaScript code on TheMirror that moves the box from where you see it to where I see it. You might be running with JavaScript disabled, or over a very slow connection. I don't really care that it has no right margin, because I don't intend that it remain there! However, I may have given it a right margin, and this is why the JavaScript cancels it; then later I removed the right margin as unnecessary.

About the undotted i's, I am mistaken; I was viewing your signature on a PC with no dots on its i's. A delusion of self-reference on my part.

I moved your post from my talk page to yours to unify the discussion. On my talk page, you had a &lt;DIV> to force your remarks to a fixed width. This is unnecessary, because  makes text "float" around it to the right. 12:40 30-Jun-2020

PS—I see that News does specify a right margin of 0.5em. I presume the JavaScript is taking effect, cancelling the right margin, but failing to relocate the box! This is a much harder problem to solve. 12:48 30-Jun-2020


 * Interesting debate. I tried your page with serveral browsers, they are all looking the same. I have never heard of undotted i's until now ;-) Greetings from Austria Lily (Lilypond Wiki talk and I will listen) 14:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Back to you from New Hampshire. Maybe we have our Preferences set differently at The Mirror. And maybe I have coded something that no one else can see?! 14:27 30-Jun-2020


 * Maybe. I prefer Vector, and you should not use a different skin on my wiki (or you will be surprised ;-) ). Lily (Lilypond Wiki talk and I will listen) 17:15, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

You are right, a different skin might change a lot of things. I'm using Modern right now. I'll play with this, but am more likely to recommend a specific skin "for best results" than to change the code until it works with every skin. 20:29 30-Jun-2020


 * You are right, Modern looks fine. Lily (Lilypond Wiki talk and I will listen) 04:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
