Template talk:Assquote
Looks like someone set up what I was hoping for... thanks :) ħuman 01:19, 16 December 2008 (EST)
Something different[edit]
Changed the template a tad, all. Now instead of having the name of the user generated automatically, you now input it yourself, so that when you insert this on a talk page, you can actually direct the facsimile of that moron's invective at someone in particular. --YossieSpring in Fialta 20:23, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- Cool, but can you allow the option of the reader always having it be their name, too? Like, make that the default (if 1, use input, if not, use what it was before)? Because that was a cool feature you removed while adding another good one. ħuman
21:26, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- By the way, in doing what you did, you will have made every previous use of it screw up and just say {{{1}}}. Keep backwards compatibility in mind when changing templates... ħuman

Oops, I forgot that this had been used a couple of times already...hmm...for now I think I'll revert back to the old version, since it's slightly beyond my wiki skillz to make both possible...I will ponder this, however, as I think you're quite right, and both should be available. --YossieSpring in Fialta 21:39, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- Done and done. --
YossieSpring in Fialta 21:53, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- Oh, thanks. Anyway, as far as the code you need. It looks like this sort of gibberish: {{{if {{{1}}}|{{{1}}} else {{{what we had before}}}}}} but that is completely wrong in places. I'm trying to remember a template that uses this so you can copy it. Oh, yeah template:welcome does. If you need a tighter guide let me know here and I'll dig it up somewhere for you. ħuman

- I seem to have got both working, but now the problem is when someone adds a : to indent a post, it creates a huge break between the name and the body of text. I tried simply adding the {{{1}}} template to the source, but it doesn't work for the manual name insertion that way. --

Yeah, colons totally screw it up either way right now. I'll take a look at what you have in there. ħuman 22:13, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- I think the span tags might not be helping. Can we put it back the way it was and test it in a sandbox til it works all ways? We could put the following below it and save/preview all we want:
{{assquote}} {{assquote|DopeSlipper}} :::{{assquote}} :::{{assquote|TripHammer}}

YossieSpring in Fialta 22:21, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- I guess we need to be careful not to EC each other to death on this - do you want to copy the "almost working" version to a subpage here (and link it so I can find it), so we can both edit and preview it to death until we figure it out? I'll await your link. ħuman
22:24, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- Ah, yes yes, of course. Here's the raw data in sand box form: User:Yossarian/sandbox2, and here's the almost working sandbox template: User:Yossarian/sandbox. --
YossieSpring in Fialta 22:31, 19 December 2008 (EST)
- Discovered something. If one just adds the {{{1}}} template to the raw data, then try to use that through the template, with the colons, it doesn't make an indent at all. Don't know if that helps any. --

"Anonymous User", if you won't open your mind and accept that a cause-and-effect is possible, then it is obviously a fool's errand for anyone to debate the issue with you. I reread the beginning of your rant at the top of this section and you deny that liberals get a thrill out of deceit for its own sake alone, so let me guess: you're wrong. You are in complete denial that that women knowing their place helps resist gun control. Observation and logic dictate that the odds against a Muslim converting to Christianity are greater than 100 to 1. Do you think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder (which is an atheistic viewpoint)? Take your message to the general public, to a court of law, to a respected institution, or to your parents and see how many agree with you. ZERO.--aschlafly 07:39, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
"dumbass user" (you're not credible, liberal), I wasted time with your unsubstantial additions and I haven't seen a single insight from you yet, so it's painfully obvious that you're insane from San Francisco values. Like all liberals, you deny that Obama refuses to salute the flag and that including the phrase "under God" in The Pledge of Allegiance helps resist Evolution Syndrome. The answer to your silly question is this: Obama does continue to fool the uninformed. There are remnants of totalitarianism still existing in Germany, and your defense of it illustrates the continuing problem. Thank you for your postings because others would have doubted that people defend jailing homeschoolers. The rules are clear: don't emasculate Christianity, don't dumb down the Bible, don't pretend Hell doesn't exist, accept the full logic of the Bible and use the powerful new words that come into the English language.--Andy Schlafly 07:39, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

- "liberal troll" (you're not credible, liberal), ever here the expression "he protests too much"? I looked at many of your edits before reverting them and you persist in repeating the liberal claim that Obama is not an affirmative action president, so my confidence is over three standard deviations away from the mean that you're a sociopath. You are in complete denial that that feudalism helps resist racism. Whatever the mainstream media might say, you don't quote from a pope to support your views, because no pope has supported your views. If you prefer logic, then Christianity is the religion for you. Godspeed in your efforts to find someone else to debate you.--Andy Schlafly 07:39, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

Putting in fixed quotes[edit]
Is there any way this could insert a quote that remains fixed, instead of coming up different every time the page is loaded? To me, that's now the only thing that stops it being perfect.-- Kriss AkabusiAAAWOOOGAAAR!!1 12:02, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- Hmm...I don't think there is. Or, at least I don't know of it (oh the volumes I could fill with what I don't know). Jeeves or Trent might be able to think up something. --
YossieSpring in Fialta 19:07, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- Do it manually? Put in the template, hit "preview", copy the result and paste it in? I guess you'd either have to pick a user to address or copy that username trick into your result, though. ħuman

- That sounds like a good lo-tech solution. I just think that if you're lucky enough to get one where he signs his name 'Teh Assfly', it should be recorded for posterity.--

Isn't that what the SUBST keyword is for? Lets have a go...
(OK, that didn't work, it doesn't eval the template first then subst in the result, it just substs in all the options. I guess there's no way to get it to work other than simply pasting the result manually.) --JeevesMkII The gentleman's gentleman at the other site 06:37, 25 February 2009 (EST)
- Sadly, of course, c/ping will lose any links in the assquote, although I suppose they could tediously be redone manually also. ħuman

fixed time stamp test[edit]
"Yossarian" (I see you don't use the proper naming convention), what's another name for a self-centered, uncharitable person who censors classroom prayer? An atheist. I've managed to read your rants and found them to be barely related to the point at issue here, so let me guess: you're insane from San Francisco values. Like all liberals, you deny that classroom prayer stops moral decay. As I've said before, every claim of "vestigiality" (an absurdity, I might add) has been proven false about humans, as far as I am aware. The claim about tonsils resulted in the needless death of thousands in improperly subjecting them to anesthesia and removing their tonsils. Are you willing at least to admit that? By the way, you've expressed your contempt for an "invisible" God, and I wonder if you also have contempt for the invisible "love", faith, the invisible hand, etc. The rules are clear: don't emasculate Christianity, don't dumb down the Bible, don't pretend Hell doesn't exist, accept the full logic of the Bible and use the powerful new words that come into the English language.--Aschlafly 03:44, 1 March 2009 (EST)
- "Anonymous User" (obviously your parents were unbelievers to give you such a pagan name), your open letter displays the high word-to-substance ratio common to liberal thought. It is the anathema conciseness. I reread the beginning of your rant at the top of this section and based on your postings, I bet you don't spend even 5% of your spare time reading or analyzing the Bible, so there's a 95% chance you're a supporter of infanticide. Your atheistic worldview has led you to deny that winning in Iraq helps resist Hollywood values. The answer to your silly question is this: the BBC is liberal and clueless about American politics. As you can see on the liberal blogs, evolutionists both hate the Bible and are remarkably ignorant about it. Try to open your mind in the future.--aschlafly 03:49, 1 March 2009 (EST)
- Oh yay! You figured out how to do it. I was just gonna ask. :) --

Substing[edit]
See here and here. If you type {{subst:expand:User:Nx/sandbox3|Andy}} you get
- "Andy", moral decay is so prevalent among feminists that no further talk-page debates about it are necessary or will be tolerated. I skimmed through your recent edits and I feel depression and animosity coming through in your comments, so let me guess: you're trying to spread socialist propaganda. Open your mind and admit that the Bush doctrine prevents against autism. Do yourself a favor and admit that if you received a good grade for the reciting liberal viewpoints, then it becomes even more difficult for you to reconsider. I just typed in "Saint Valentine's Day," and Wikipedia redirects me to the secular form, "Valentine's Day." Help yourself by opening your mind, before it's too late. --Andy Schlafly 17:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

- "Anonymous User" (specialty not in breast cancer), mental illness is so prevalent among agnostics that I hardly think a citation is needed to demonstrate it. I've responded to your concerns and answered your questions and I doubt you've taken half the statistics courses that I have., so admit it: you're easily taken in by Hollywood Values. Furthermore, you deny that capitalizing Hell helps resist Evolution Syndrome. Got news for you: Carl Sagan was the public spokesmen for liberal scientists in the 1970s and 1980s, and an informal adviser to Jimmy Carter and other Democratic leaders. Run along now, and see how many people you can fool outside of Conservapedia. --Andy Schlafly 21:07, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
