User:EWikist/Templates/BouncingWiki/doc

This is a metatemplate used to add a Bouncing Wikipedia Globe to the bottom right corner of userpages and user talk pages ONLY!

Specifications

What will it look like?

Where will it be located?

It will be located in the bottom right corner of your userpage or user talk page.

Other than bouncing, what does it do?

It is an image link. When clicked, it will take you to the Main Page of Wikipedia by default.

How do I use it?

Copy and paste {{User:EWikist/Templates/BouncingWiki}} to a userpage or user talk page to create the effect.

To change from the default Main Page link, use the code below instead. You must change the word link to an entire URL website address (including the http). {{User:EWikist/Templates/BouncingWiki|link}}

For example, the default would be: {{User:EWikist/Templates/BouncingWiki|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_page}} but since it defaults there, {{User:EWikist/Templates/BouncingWiki}} is sufficient.

Code originally used to create it

<div style="position: fixed; right:0; bottom:0; display:block; height:
 70px; width:{{{1|70}}}px;"><div style="position: relative; width: 150px; 
height: 150px; overflow: hidden"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; 
left: 0px; font-size: 300px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 300px; z-index: 3">
[[:en:Main_page]]</div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 2">
[[Image:Bouncywikilogo.gif|70px|link={{{1|main page}}}]]</div> </div> </div>

Warning!

The Bouncing Wikipedia Globe icon is a hack. It is NOT based on the {{topicon}} template. The only supported icons are the two normally viewed at the bottom of every Wikipedia page; the Wikipedia Project button , and the Powered by MediaWiki button .

It will have a tendency to break rather easily, for instance when sitenotices are active. It is impossible to correct this for each and every userpage. Other technical changes that are important to the entire mediawiki software or changes to article space will always be more important than keeping this userspace icon working. This is not a supported template. Use it at your own risk.
