English phonology
Thanks. I cleaned up the markup some (at least the doc hierarchy & lists), I've left some inline css on span, b, and i. I wish I knew which colors had templates in the wikiverse, but I've never tracked that info down.

It looks like you know a lot about Lua, among other things. Nice to meet you. :) SashiRolls (discuss • contribs) 21:22, 10 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Nice to meet you! You can create bold and italic text with apostrophes. There's also a visual editor that should do the same thing with a button click here or there, but I learned the manual way and still find that more productive.


 * Regarding color, see . You should be able to use any standard HTML color (text or hex code) with that. The problem with HTML is that most people don't know how to edit it, and I don't think the Visual Editor does, either.


 * I actually don't know Lua that well. I know programming. The Lua course and some of the Lua template modules I've created are my attempts to learn something new. And also to try to figure out why Wikimedia chose it over Python. I still haven't solved that one yet. Perhaps it was easier to implement on the back end.


 * Anyway, welcome to Wikiversity. Please continue to share your wisdom.

 * Wisdom? Not so sure about that... :-P  But I am hopeful someone will collaborate to make that page better.  Thanks for the   tip, I got rid of a lot more css as a result.


 * I see that some work got done on your Quiz module at this summer's Google Coding Camp. I'm very curious what the fixed product looks like, I'm going to have to track down some examples. :)  SashiRolls (discuss • contribs) 22:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I tried to work with the quiz module four or five years ago. I ended up switching over to Quizlet instead. Quizlet has intelligent functionality on the back end so that when random questions are generated, it automatically guesses (successfully) at good distractors. It's not random, but well-educated. It also includes games, flash cards, and text-to-speech pronunciation. But if the quiz module helps others here, that's a good thing. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:32, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
