One more question

[edit]

Hi there. Thanks again for your help with the handball infobox entries. If you don't mind, I have one more question about a formatting issue I am unable to resolve. If you have any input to offer, that would be much appreciated.

Mediterranean_Games#Competitions - the last column has fewer entries (10) than the first two (12). What is the formatting trick to have the third column appear leveled at the top with the other two (currently it's shown lower, centered compared to the other two)?

Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoWikiNoLife (talkcontribs) 06:51, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, NoWikiNoLife. I've fixed it.
The explanation for what I've done is that there is an outer table with nothing except three cells next to each other, with each of the inner tables in one cell. By default the contents of a cell are vertically centred in that cell.
I've added a property to each cell of the outer table to align its contents to the top.
(In this case it would have been enough to do this for the third cell only, but this way, if the numbers of items in the columns change, it will always keep all three columns aligned to the top).
By the way: if you sign your contribution on a talk page (by ~~~~ or the signature icon) it is easier to reply, as it would give me the "Reply" option. --ColinFine (talk) 10:52, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's great. Thanks again! Ah, yes, I always forget about the signature! 😁 — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoWikiNoLife (talkcontribs) 12:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you

The Helping Hand Barnstar
To Colin, a special thank-you for your many replies to help requests I've made at the Help Desk and in the Teahouse — sometimes even to other comments I've written within a thread. You've always guided me well ... which, as an educator, I appreciate all the more. :) Augnablik (talk) 16:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

[edit]

Oh my gosh you have no idea how much I appreciate your response. That cleared a lot of things up. Y'all are great, Belbury, too. It is hard for me to approach things online, I have been traumatized regarding the online space, many times. Thank you for being clarifying. More people should take the time to explain things, how you do. peeeeeee-yew! (talk) 13:24, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another question

[edit]

Hey, mate. Happy New Year. I have another question - if you could respond whenever you have the time that would be great. This is about External links.

  • Page #1: Samuel Kolega#External_links
  • Page #2: Istok Rodeš#External_links
  • Question #1: On Kolega's page how come two external links appear, but when you go to 'edit source' all it says there is 'sports links' in parenthesis? Is that automatically generated by the system? And if so, how can it be edited? Probably through Wikidata? Can you please advise how that is done?
  • Question #2: On Rodeš's page the first link says 'at the International Ski and Snowboard Federation', but on Kolega's page the link to the same website says 'at FIS (alpine)'? How can one edit the first one, so that it also says 'at FIS (alpine)' - which is the standard on most skier's pages?

Thanks! NoWikiNoLife (talk) 04:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
