User talk:CQ/Sandbox

Revision 0.2
Stripping it down

Bear with me
I'm creating a Sandbox in the MediaWiki namespace - MediaWiki:Sandbox

sandbox reports its location. liquidThreads needs to know where it is also.

What we're going to do is create custodians the plural of custodian from Wikiversity custodians

We'll start with three of us:

Next we'll make a ring counter using the #switch parser function.

It evaluates because it's in my basepage namespace and will be my "phone number" so to speak.

Next we develop a display of the ring with prev curr next and the message box wall

MediaWiki talk:Sandbox will be like a chatroom and beta test area for primative liquidThreads. CQ 06:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

ring is now at

We have what is essentially a bot named User:Ring whose number is 0.

Now we use :  to highlight where the token is in the list:



token will be the output of an indexed hash something like:

A raw rendering:

Then make it prettier and add a date queue:

Which renders:

Still a lot to do. CQ 15:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
