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.

1

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

We'll start with three of us:

1. jtneill (Talk) – D | P | B | C
2. CQ (Talk) – D | P | B | C
3. Mu301 (Talk) – D | P | B | C

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

{{#switch:{{BASEPAGENAME}}
|jtneill=1
|CQ=2
|Mu301=3
|}}

It evaluates 2 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}}

{|  style="text-align:center"
|-
| colspan="3" style="border:1px solid IndianRed; background-color: NavajoWhite;" |[[{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}]]
|-
| colspan="3" style="background-color: AliceBlue;text-align:center;Padding: 2px" |{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/{{tl|wall}}
|-
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{tl|prev}} curr - 1 {{custodian|jtneill}}
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{tl|curr}} curr = 2 {{custodian|CQ}}
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{tl|next}} curr + 1 {{custodian|Mu301}}
|}

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

Token ring

Token ring. CQ 06:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

{{add}} {{custodian}} to {{custodians}} {{ring}}

{{token}}{{ring}} is the network protocol. You now have the token. Hint: #expr is your friend. • 06:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

{{ring}} is now at 2

{{#switch:{{BASEPAGENAME}}
|Ring=0
|jtneill=1
|CQ=2
|Mu301=3
|}}

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

Now we use {{ring}}: 2 to highlight where the {{token}} is in the list:

*{{#ifeq: 0 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Ring}} | {{custodians}}}}
*{{#ifeq: 1 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|jtneill}} | {{custodians}}}}
*{{#ifeq: 2 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|CQ}} | {{custodians}}}}
*{{#ifeq: 3 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Mu301}} | {{custodians}}}}

• list
• list
• CQ (Talk) – D | P | B | C
• list

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

{|  style="text-align:center"
|{{#ifeq: 0 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Ring}} | {{custodians}}}}
|{{#ifeq: 1 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|jtneill}} | {{custodians}}}}
|{{#ifeq: 2 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|CQ}} | {{custodians}}}}
|{{#ifeq: 3 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Mu301}} | {{custodians}}}}
|}

A raw rendering:

Then make it prettier and add a date {{queue}}:

{|  style="text-align:center"
|-
| colspan="4" style="border:1px solid IndianRed; background-color: NavajoWhite;" |[[{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}]]
|-
| colspan="4" style="background-color: AliceBlue;text-align:center;Padding: 2px" |{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/{{SUBPAGENAME}}/{{queue}}
|-
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{#ifeq: 0 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Ring}} | {{custodians}}}}
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{#ifeq: 1 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|jtneill}} | {{custodians}}}}
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{#ifeq: 2 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|CQ}} | {{custodians}}}}
| style="border:1px solid SteelBlue;background-color: Gainsboro;Padding: 2px" |{{#ifeq: 3 | {{ring}} | {{custodian|Mu301}} | {{custodians}}}}
|}

Which renders:

User:CQ/Sandbox
User talk:CQ/Sandbox/22 May 2013
list	list	CQ (Talk) – D | P | B | C	list

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

Don't really get us very far. CQ 18:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
