Thanks for the tweak on the 'address' entry of the Glossary with the ID addition. MediaWiki is ''supposed'' to not need ID spans when there are marked headers. But those subheading links aren't working reliably today.
 
 
Unfortunately, the ID that was added was a conflicting duplicate from the previous Glossary term.  Changed it to be usable like: [[Gramps_Glossary#address|[[Gramps_Glossary#address|address]]]]

==Add advice to download page?==

==Inconsistent Terminology ==
I originally found the Gramps project via the Gramps reddit. At the top of the page the [https://www.reddit.com/r/gramps/comments/dhimif/psa_if_you_are_using_gramps_51x_or_greater/ following] advice to convert to sqlite is given. My question is this true or official advice and should added to the download page also? [[User:GulliblePangolin|GulliblePangolin]] ([[User talk:GulliblePangolin|talk]]) 23:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Is there a reason you want to add an interface term '[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclosure_widget disclosure]' which is from another GUI system to Gramps vocabulary? The developers have directed us to use the GTK interface widgets nomenclature where possible.
 
 
This is likely to become a non-issue.
 
 
 
As the Reddit thread echoes, there was a discussion started today about removing the BSDDB backend.  But their discussion has changed towards making future releases still read the old DB... but automatically convert to the new DB.
 
 
 
The whole process will soon become completely transparent. So there's no need to add complexity to our process.

Google says the use in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Sources_Category|Sources section]] would be the ONLY incidence of 'disclosure' in the Gramps wiki.
  
I'm confused. What is the whole point of editing this wiki if you strictly forbid me from helping? I can't just edit one page, I need to improve grammar. --[[User:Chills|Chills]] ([[User talk:Chills|talk]]) 19:53, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
+
In the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Switching_Navigator_modes|visual Guide to the interface]], the term 'expander' is used. This matches the GTK names. Variations of expand & collapse are use to describe its use and the mirror action.
  
:: I've responded on Chills talk page, the issue was, that some pages from the old user manuals had lost page protection. thank you both for your edits on the wiki. [[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 02:21, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

And why do you want to change to rollover tooltip backdrop color to neon green?  The black background with reversed text matches the rollover color scheme in the default GTK GUI and with the default '[[Addon:Themes|Adwaita]]' theme with the Themes addon.

Revision as of 01:47, 7 June 2020

Add Wikipedia:Citation_templates

@Sam888 Would it be possible to install Wikipedia's:Citation_templates or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Reflist on the Gramps wiki? (We don't need the full template just a minimal version that allows us to do reflist would be good? The instructions are here I'd do it but it talks about needing extensions on mediawiki enabled. GulliblePangolin (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

I'll investigate what I need to do, but I believe yes this should be possible. sorry no ETA on when I can do it. Sam888 (talk) 00:22, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks :) GulliblePangolin (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Inconsistent Terminology

Is there a reason you want to add an interface term 'disclosure' which is from another GUI system to Gramps vocabulary? The developers have directed us to use the GTK interface widgets nomenclature where possible.

Google says the use in the Sources section would be the ONLY incidence of 'disclosure' in the Gramps wiki.

In the visual Guide to the interface, the term 'expander' is used. This matches the GTK names. Variations of expand & collapse are use to describe its use and the mirror action.

And why do you want to change to rollover tooltip backdrop color to neon green? The black background with reversed text matches the rollover color scheme in the default GTK GUI and with the default 'Adwaita' theme with the Themes addon.

I gave my reason and black is not suitable it really does not convey it is a tooltip, yellow or green or another non black choice would be good that is why the typographical conventions page is for to provide a legend to what it means, I'm not going to get into edit warring with you, but the example screenshot shown on the page you linked to on wikipedia is for the same GTK gui toolkit used by Gramps ??? so do what you want!! If this project wants helps why are you actively trying to discourage people, looking at your history you have issue(s) with others also!! I'll take a break for now as I'm upset at your inconsistently even in your reply to this! GulliblePangolin (talk) 01:46, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
