== Nav box autohide? ==

{{help-me-helped}}

Hello I have just created this Navbox template [[Template:Navbox The West Wing episodes]]. How do I make it appear as auto hidden on article pages as otherwise it takes up a lot of space as can bee see here [[Pilot (The West Wing)]] (scroll to bottom) where it is in use.

For example in this article [[Pilot (House)]] there is a Navbox (Template:Navbox House episodes) for House episodes which is auto-hidden  allowing the reader to expand it. How do I achive this?

Kind regards,

== Writing ==

Hi Ratioscripta - one of the most useful series of essays I have digested on wikipedia is the following - see [[User:Tony1/How to improve your writing]] - if you look at how I have edited the [[Edward Fitzgerald (barrister)]] you can see how it works. Succinct crisp prose can be very effective in making prose easy to read. When in doubt, understatement often works better than hyperbole - why not have a read and try on the Longford Trust article while I keep on Fitzgerald :) [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 01:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

hi there,

I uploaded a image today to accompany an article I wrote [[West Wing Week]] (see image in article), I was wandering why does the image not show up in "files upload" when i do a user search here http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&format=html&img_user_text=RatioScripta. It is not urgent I am just curious as to why it doesn't show up, can anyone help?

Kind regards,

:Simple. You just uploaded it today and it has not been indexed yet by the software. The index is typically updated every morning GMT. By the way, please upload future public domain images to the [[commons:Main page|Wikimedia Commons]] instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image ([http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin sign up]). The Commons is a sister site of the same foundation that owns Wikipedia but is for all manner of free media files.  Anything there can be used here natively, i.e., the same image code to add an image uploaded here will work for images at the Commons (and the majority of images you see on Wikipedia, are in fact images from the Commons). The only reason we allow uploads here is because unlike the Commons, we allow some non-free media files under a claim of [[fair use]], which could not be uploaded there. Cheers.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 23:31, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
::Great. There's a whole cadre of editors who spend time [[Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons|moving images to the Commons]] and deleting them from here and it's good not to give them extra work. One thing to note: Local images by the same name override Commons images. This means that if there are two images with the same name, one here and one at Commons, the one here will display in an article, and the one at Commons will only display once the local image is deleted or retitled. Since here you will be uploading the same image, you won't see any difference, but you should ask for the local image to be deleted once you upload there. You can do this by going to the local image, editing the page and placing at the top {{tl|db-self}}. In the interest of completeness, note also that if you were not the uploader but a third party finding a duplicate image here and at the Commons, you would tag it instead with {{tl|db-f8}}.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 13:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

== Refrencing problem on [[West Wing Week]] ==

{{helpme-helped}}
Hi,

I have entered in a reference on the article [[West Wing Week]] and it come up with...

Cite error: Invalid < ref > tag; invalid names, e.g. too many; see the help page

Please see article scroll down until you see red reference error tag.

I have reentered the reference three times the same way i have every other reference in the article (all 147 of them) yet this one comes up with an error message when i save the page.

I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, can anyone help me thanks.

Kind regards

:The problem was fixed by a bot. When you give a reference a name so you can use it again, you can't (and there's no reason to) use a complicated name. Just use something easily understood and unique, e.g., if the citation is to a book, just use the author's last name. The problem you had here was that you used: <code><nowiki><ref name=West Wing Week: 4/23/10 "Competing the Old-Fashioned Way" ></nowiki></code> when probably a good name here would have been <code><nowiki><ref name="Whitehouse"></nowiki></code>.

*'''Bot didn't resolve issue made things worse'''
The bot did more bad than any good on the [[West Wing Week]] article.

*Thanks for taking a look, but that reference for "Competing the Old-Fashioned Way" was perfectly fine and working. I do not know why the bot corrected that. but when it diet it broke about 5 other references on the bags by linking to them.  You must have looked at the page post the bot revision and assumed (as the bot corrected it) that my issue was with the reference concerning "Competing the Old-Fashioned Way" but is was not.  I have absolutely no ideas why the bod would correct section which were working fine.

*(when bot made edit it id broke 5 links as it redirected 5 references to reference number (16) See page version below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Wing_Week&oldid=448312620 (post bot revision page)

*(Original query)
Below is the version of the page which i had a problem with. You must have gone to the page post the bot revision which somehow corrected "Competing the Old-Fashioned Way". I had a problem for the reference on the notes section for the episode "It's Alive!" which is much further down the page just after ref (110).
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Wing_Week&oldid=448297335 (scroll down to episode 38 "Its Alive!" and you see the reference error message I originally had a problem with.  Any Ideas?

*I have currently reverted the bots edits because of the links is messed up. Which has brought the page back to the state of the original query. (hopefully the bot does re-editi until you have seen it)

You can't simply cut-and-paste whole sentences, change the odd word and hope for the best.  Adding the source at the end of the sentence is not enough either.  You need to read up very quickly on the rules of copyright within Wikipedia. [[WP:Copyvio]] and [[WP:Close paraphrasing]] are good places to start.  Mind you, you're not even at the level of close paraphrasing yet: it's more serious than that. Copyright violations like this ought not to be in userspace or the history of an article if moved to mainspace, even if rewritten, so I have deleted it under [[WP:CSD#G12]]. If you have written other articles, or added content to other articles, using this method of cut-and-paste with minimal changes, you need to sort them out very quickly.
