Was thinking about this since [[User:Dvgrn]] added a Discord citation to the [[Max]] article. Would there be any objections to a template to cite the [https://discord.gg/BCuYCEn Conwaylife Lounge Discord server]? It is a public server, after all, and there have been quite a few notable discoveries and developments announced there over the years.

Briefly popping out of the woodwork to mourn [[Richard K. Guy|Rich]] --- I had the idea of adding a black ribbon in the lower right corner of pages. This is added by a bit of code in <tt>[[MediaWiki:Common.js]]</tt>, with some supporting CSS in <tt>[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]</tt>. To turn this off again, simply comment out the line that says | |||
addEvent(window, 'load', function(){ addMourningRibbon() }); | |||
near the bottom of <tt>[[MediaWiki:Common.js]]</tt>. Leave the rest of the code and the CSS in though; that way the ribbon can be reused next time there is a death in the community. (The link on the ribbon is set a little further up, and can easily be adjusted as needed.) [[User:Apple Bottom|Apple Bottom]] ([[User talk:Apple Bottom|talk]]) 10:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC) | |||

Welcome, one and all, to the Tiki bar! This page is used to discuss the technical issues, policies, and operations of the LifeWiki. Or just sit down, relax, and enjoy a cocktail.
Welcome to the Tiki bar
Wikipedia has the Village pump, Wiktionary has the Beer parlour, but the LifeWiki's lacked a central page for discussion so far other than User talk:Nathaniel. So I took the liberty to create the Tiki bar to facilitate discussion in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Welcome! Apple Bottom (talk) 11:09, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

CiteDiscord template?
Was thinking about this since User:Dvgrn added a Discord citation to the Max article. Would there be any objections to a template to cite the Conwaylife Lounge Discord server? It is a public server, after all, and there have been quite a few notable discoveries and developments announced there over the years. Ian07 (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Black ribbon
Briefly popping out of the woodwork to mourn Rich --- I had the idea of adding a black ribbon in the lower right corner of pages. This is added by a bit of code in MediaWiki:Common.js, with some supporting CSS in MediaWiki:Common.css. To turn this off again, simply comment out the line that says
addEvent(window, 'load', function(){ addMourningRibbon() });
near the bottom of MediaWiki:Common.js. Leave the rest of the code and the CSS in though; that way the ribbon can be reused next time there is a death in the community. (The link on the ribbon is set a little further up, and can easily be adjusted as needed.) Apple Bottom (talk) 10:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
