Sorry! Must've fat-fingered the mouse click... had an accidental highlight to bottom of page instead of just setting the insert point for the added text in the "See Also" of the "Contact" wiki article. (Took me a while to discover where you had to do the repair.)
  
The auto-expand for print concern might be addressed with a change to the print.css stylesheet.

Rolled back edit on "Third-party Addons" page, see [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Third-party_Addons&action=history history] for why, please be careful. [[User:Patsyblefebre|Patsy B Lefebre]] ([[User talk:Patsyblefebre|talk]]) 20:14, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
I am tracking down documentation on that possibility in the MediaWiki support pages.  
 
  
== Download not working ==

== delete these MediaWiki account ==
Hi On the [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/PseudonymTree.gramps PseudonymTree.gramps] when I attempt to download [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/File:GrampsPseudonymTree(02Feb2020). gz File:GrampsPseudonymTree(02Feb2020).gz] I only get an empty file and checking the wiki filesystem only shows a zero-byte file? Please upload a new version or send to me, or possibly convert it to a "zip" file for the windows users?  Also, a lot of what you have done in this file should be added/merged to the example.gramps which has the same purpose and is included with each release of Gramps, eg raise a feature request to merge the two files?

Hi Patsy! Are you able to delete these MediaWiki accounts?  If so, please delete this "Emyoulation" ... it was a "new user test" account. All my other work is under the earlier "Bamaustin" account and it would be bad if contact attempts via the test account's "Talk" page went unseen.  
<hr />
 
That's odd as the .gz file lists & downloads as 9kb on my phone & PC. I did something unusual for the hotlinks. (Maybe that is why you're seeing a zero byte file if you choose Download while right-clicking the link?) The links forward to the file management wiki page instead of being a download link for the file itself. (It took a bit of searching to discover how to correctly override the linking of the image too!)
 
  
Please note that the gzip (GNU zip) format is native to the .gpkg & .Gramps formats as written during backup in Gramps. Using the ZIP format would make it incompatible with Gramps.
+
Thanks either way
  
Finally, I see the example.gramps and this file as being at cross-purposes & not suitable for merging.

Example.gramps contains records VALID for actual genealogical use & real-world testing. (Since it is also used for unresolved bug reports & automated testing, changing this now 'standardized' Reference File might invalidate those key processes. Mods to the example.gramps probably ought to pass through a new 'standards' verification & approval.)
+
seconded!
  
The Pseudo tree is specifically incompatible with real-world use. It is an abstraction model.

I'm rolling back several edits you made to the past user manual and the current user manual to nonexistent categories. I'll protect the older non-English user manuals from change. Please only edit the current user manual and if you notice that the old user manual can be edited, drop me a note, please.

I'm sorry to see those rollbacks. The categories were already in use for other pages in those languages. These changes merely consolidated all (except 4 admin locked pages) non-English pages falling into the 'Documentation' category. It harmonized them into the subcategory listings for each language. This still left the obsolete manual pages cluttering the category but we've been discussing options for addressing that. (There is value in keeping the old versions on the wiki. Offloading them would break the 'Help' in legacy versions of Gramps. Also, some of the old documentation illustrates changes in approach & gives timeline context to evolving features.) Will follow-up in email.[[User:Bamaustin|Bamaustin]] ([[User talk:Bamaustin|talk]]) 11:01, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gioto. The grammar had been unchanged for quite some while.  Your edit just attracted attention. (Every time I start to read the Wiki ... instead of just using it for a reference... the missing content distracts me. I am trying to fill in links from the Glossary "Custom Types" to where they are introduced in the wiki.)
 +
 
 +
Regarding the sandbox.
 +
 
 +
Noticed that the layout is slightly incorrect.  The Navigator and Sidebar are taller.  The stacked Search Bar, Display and Bottombar together are the same height as those 2.
 +
 
 +
You're right. Text representations may be easier than screen captures for Translators. I tried including GIMP templates and gramps.ini files so translators could edit the text... but MediaWiki does not want to manage those filetypes.
 +
----
 +
Ok, I've tried my best with the table and it is only meant to be a representation and not exact. The reason the searchbar & bottombar's take up a full line is technically if you hide the navigator and sidebar that is how it is shown. the height of the display I've kept the same as the navigator & sidebar for simplicity.

delete these MediaWiki account

Hi Patsy! Are you able to delete these MediaWiki accounts? If so, please delete this "Emyoulation" ... it was a "new user test" account. All my other work is under the earlier "Bamaustin" account and it would be bad if contact attempts via the test account's "Talk" page went unseen.

Thanks either way

improve grammar and clarify Jump to Gramps ID is not just for "Person"

Thanks for improving my non English grammar. Also I was under the impression you could only us jump for Person but can see I was wrong. If you have a moment can you provide feedback on [this](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/User:Gioto/sandbox) please? Gioto (talk) 00:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)


Hi Gioto. The grammar had been unchanged for quite some while. Your edit just attracted attention. (Every time I start to read the Wiki ... instead of just using it for a reference... the missing content distracts me. I am trying to fill in links from the Glossary "Custom Types" to where they are introduced in the wiki.)

Regarding the sandbox.

Noticed that the layout is slightly incorrect. The Navigator and Sidebar are taller. The stacked Search Bar, Display and Bottombar together are the same height as those 2.

You're right. Text representations may be easier than screen captures for Translators. I tried including GIMP templates and gramps.ini files so translators could edit the text... but MediaWiki does not want to manage those filetypes.
