How to participate if Discussions are being moved 3 Times

I know that it is important to Keep order about where what is discussed, but if a discussion is moved, couldn't a link to the new discussion as well as to the old one be mandatory? In this way if a discussion is moved twice it would be possible to provide a link to the current discussion as well as to the original. Also if the discussion is finally resolved you could find all the old ones and mark them as resolved too. Why this is here? Because my original suggestion was moved 3 times. ~~+~

Odd numeric function problem

I'm writing or rewriting a article in Spanish, but I want to make automatic calculation in FUSION temperature for a periodic table elements, in other words only enter Kelvin temperature, and automatically calculate Celsius temperature. And I can if I was writing English Article, but Spanish use "," (comma) as decimal separator and not "."(period) like English spokers use to.
Thats work if P_fusion=500.5 (English form of numeration)
{{{P_fusión}}} [[kelvin|K]] ({{#expr:{{{P_fusión}}}-273.15}} [[Grado Celsius|ºC]])
But does not work if I use P_fusion=500,5 and the other number is 273,15
{{{P_fusión}}} [[kelvin|K]] ({{#expr:{{{P_fusión}}}-273,15}} [[Grado Celsius|ºC]])

Te problem is that I trying to rewrite a Template, and every article that use the spanish notation for decimal numbers will have problems. And it's common that every number write almost in spanish use "," as decimal separator. And I think that not english languages use "," as decimal separator, because we use SI as Metric System Logo.

ImageMap Problem with Text afterwards

Hello,

we am currently working on a MediaWiki about the event-driven process chain standardisation called www.epc-standard.org At the moment we are looking for extensions that may help the user experience. For that reason we want to use the ImageMap feature.

We are running the following versions: MediaWiki: 1.27.0-alpha PHP: 7.0.12 (cgi-fcgi) MariaDB: 5.5.53-MariaDB-1~wheezy ICU: 4.8.1.1

So the actual problem is that after I create a ImageMap, the followling text till the next footnote will be a link to the ImageMap Image. You can the this at the main page (https://www.epc-standard.org/collaborate/Towards_EPC_standardization) in the first Topic.

The code around the ImageMap:

"

"

The event-driven process chain (EPC)...

I have no clue, what problem it may be and I would be happy if somebody has an idea.

Best greetings, Steffen

How to add custom styles to a page?

I thought of using the layout-grid Material design component on my user page to make the userboxes respond to different screen sizes. It requires custom CSS styles that have to be loaded when my user page is loaded. Where should I place the CSS styles so that they get loaded each time my use page gets loaded? N.B.: I can't place them inline, see for yourself - - Kaartic ^{correct me, if i'm wrong} 07:31, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Sustainability a coined word

Dear helping Forum

Before I can begin to explain my problem, my very first article today was immediately deleted due to breaching rules of containing links to a business and business operations, due to the business is the same as the invention equally to the word Sustainability and Sustainability Professionals wm

In 1987 the UNIPCCC environment group was lead by Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland and they came up with the idea of "creating" a new word referred to as Sustainability. In fact they did not have any lead political agenda, nor a political solution or goal all UN countries could be united around, then came Sustainable and Sustainability as their own coined words. The idea they had found inside the European Forestry Research centre in Germany and they again had obtained their 300-year-old ideas from a CEO and owner of many smelting industries and mining operations around in Saxony and his first book from 1713 where he coined the German word "Nachhaltigkeit". Both these two industries was depending on a constant access to affordable lumber to secure the mines and for firewood to the furnaces, the UN group most likely understood this German story to be about operational safety and their needs to "sustain" the mine shafts from collapsing even the German word for the English web to Sustain is: “Aufrechtzuerhalten” or “Unterstützen”

“Nachhaltikeit” was coined when the CEO advised “future generations” to avoid adverse impact on nature and biodiversity as it will harm both business, the society and stakeholder economy. This situation was to be avoided, not sustained, and in all future business development taken into consideration in their planning to minimize and avoid further negative consequences over 10 000 people did while suffering from hunger and diseases.

I have tried to explain for over a decade why Sustainability was not working and why there were no other green benefits than billions or earned green Dollars, I then decided to coin the word “Impactivation” to introduce a system based on Nachhaltigkeit and how this should be used in today’s modern society. The system minimises and avoid risk of adverse impact creating negative consequences in all connections and in way of being used, delivering measurable results for accountability as the UN still is asking for is part of this logic.

I have now started the company Impactivation Systems Ltd, in the same way over 300 000 Sustainability professionals are wording their activities and businesses as Sustainability and I do not know how I can write about this important development without telling how it can be used.

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you

Asle
