User:Farman

I am an admin for Elanthipedia. If you have any questions about well, anything, please feel free to leave a note on my talk page.

10/20/07: Unfortunately, my job doesn't leave me much spare time during most of the year, so my article contributions are going to be pretty light for a while. I do still check in about once a week, and I will answer questions as soon as I can.

To Do List

These are all the rage now, so I don't want to feel left out!

Template:Spell

• Rewrite it finally, like I've promised for the last month, to separate the notes field so that spell articles can be more easily edited by future contributors. Also incorporate icon indicators for held mana, scroll, and target spells like the DR spell page has. The new template can be seen here and an example spell with the template applied here. Template released! Thoughts are welcome.
  • Apply the change to all the spells. Big job!
    • Category:Empath Spells
    • Category:Cleric Spells
    • Category:Paladin Spells
    • Category:Ranger Spells
    • Category:Moon Mage Spells
    • Category:Warrior Mage Spells
  • Update the template to distinguish Ranger and Empath protection spellbooks properly
  • Get new art for the scroll, held mana, and target mini icons with an alpha background.
• Update Template:Enchante to match the changes in template:spell
  • Apply changes to Category:Bard Enchantes

• Make guild-level navboxes for spells and include in template:spell.

General Organization

• Reorganize markup and cleanup categories into more logical groupings (Sysop Tools doesn't cut it IMO), create more markup/cleanup templates linked to such categories, and make them easier for users to locate and use.

Maps

• Update maps to include Template:RanikMapKey on each map article page
  • completed: maps 0 - 14d
  • instead of doing it the hard way, update Template:Map_infobox to include the key automatically the smart way, like Naeya pointed out.
    • Sandbox template and sandbox map page. Seems this will require massive substitution of {{|}} for |. Le sigh. not as hard as I thought, and fairly easy to undo all the damage I did earlier. Thanks Naeya!
• Update Template:Store At A Glance to include a row for limited access info (eg Empath-only shop)
• imagemap links on each map to included locations with articles such as shops, guilds, etc. Big project!
  • create and maintain project page to track progress
  • update map infobox to include better language for 'nearby unlinked map' section. Some listings there are already linked; at the end of this project they all should be.

Command Compendium

Given the announcement of the coming VERB verb, I'm putting this project on hold for now.

• Create new articles for DR game commands, after the DR Command Compendium. Woohoo! Another huge project!
  • Identify and cleanup current wiki verb/command articles, fixing links and renaming in "Xxxxx command" format
  • Think about what templates and category structure would be needed; create them
  • create and maintain project page to track progress

etc
