[edit] Kahakō

Mark. How did you add the kahakō to Waimanalo in the Makapuu article? - Marshman 04:48, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

When I edit pages, I have a box down at the bottom that says "Insert:" and has a whole bunch of accented characters, each of them individually linked via javascript. One of them is the o with a kahakō above it. When I click on it, it magically appears in my edit box. I am using Moxilla Firefox 1.0.6, if that makes any difference.

I thought that it said to do this on the Help:Special characters page, but it looks like the section I remember was moved into the Talk section, and I can't find the section I remember seeing where it talked about this special "Insert:" box.

In any case, I don't know if it's acceptable to insert the character directly or if it is better to use the ō like you do. What's your feeling? Markkawika 09:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia and our little Numismatics project. If you need any help with anything feel free to ask anyone on the project.

See you around.  :) Joe I 21:35, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How do you add in links?

How does one add in links? I tried to link in Irish Mint to Currency Centre, but I don't think I was successful. - (Aidan Work 06:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC))

[edit] I reckon you're not right regarding capitalisation of currency units.

I still reckon that you're not right about whether or not to start a currency unit with a capital letter. Being a serious numismatist, with a very strong interest in British Commonwealth numismatics, I have always traditionally used a capital letter to start a currency unit. See my article Coins of Cyprus & you will see that the currency units start with capitals, as do the coins in this article Coins of Bophuthatswana. - (Aidan Work 07:13, 21 December 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Template:Infobox Coin

I'm not an expert on templates nor css nor HTML. Can you explain to me why you changed what you did on the Template:Infobox Coin? Why did you make some things boldface that were not, some things a different size, etc.? I'm confused. Also, why didn't put some sort of comment on the Talk about describing why you did what you did? Also, I assume you renamed it due to an improper name. I have no problem with that, but I wish you had said something like "this is the proper name, as stated here" or whatever.

I changed the template to use a centralized "infobox" style which handles the right-side alignment and other visual elements. The row headers are now bold because they are now properly specified as header cells. This is really helpful in some browsers and screenreaders because they can skim the headers without hearing all the content. The use of ! over | for headers is covered in meta:Help:Tables. As far as the naming, that is per Wikipedia:Infobox templates. Sorry if the changes seemed too shocking. I am performing a large number of such template/infobox improvements, and I try and keep things close to the original. -- Netoholic @ 22:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Shilling sign

The Shilling sign is '/-', not only in terms of currencies such as the Somaliland Shilling and the Ugandan Shilling, but the British Shilling as well. See the article Coins of Somaliland for further information. If you have any questions, ask me through my website; [[1]]. - (192.190.108.19 06:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC))
