Guilds

I'm going to work up some infoboxes for the guilds, and I'm wondering what is the policy on using images from the Simu website? Specifically I was going to capture the guild illustrations for inclusing in the infoboxes. Farman 09:51, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

Any official images I've been using I've been putting a tag on {{Simu Image}}. This can be added during the initial upload in the Summary field. I assume any usage is fine as long as it's notated (with the tag on the image itself). We aren't using it commercially, so it should be fine.

Bestiary

I finished updating the bestiary and went ahead and changed the project entry here. I hope that's ok. --Grindinghalt 00:31, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

Perfectly ok! Thanks for the work you did. I think it looks great!--Naeya (talk) 08:45, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

Spells

The spell template with the infobox is excellent, however I propose taking the 'notes' field out of the template and making that part a normal wiki article section. In its current form it is cumbersome and anti-intuitive to edit the notes on a spell. This will become even more so if the notes field for a given spell grows larger than a few sentences.

I have started a discussion on this here: Template talk:Spell --Farman 22:00, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

I also marked the Spells article as a stub since it's a bit spare and needs lovin'. --Farman 22:05, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

After discussion with Naeya, I'm going to redo the spell template as described above. And having looked over the spell articles with an eye towards the work that needs to be done, here's what I'm going to start in on.

1. It's a big job, so I will create an Elanthipedia:Projects/Spells page so discussion and task completion can be tracked more efficiently without cluttering up the main Projects page.
2. Update each spell article to conform with the new spell infobox.
3. Spell descriptions seem based on the DR Website spells page info, which is out of date for at least some spells. Therefore all the spells need to be compared with current in-game data, and I will be marking all spells with a new template to indicate they have not yet been proofed. High-circle folk from each guild are needed to help proof the guild leader descriptions! Farman 14:57, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Just a small note. I didn't finish inputing Warrior Mage Spells yet. Will wait until you've made changed to the template.--Naeya (talk) 15:23, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Nations

I started in on a category for nations to try and educate the masses about the upper echelons of Elanthian government. I don't know exactly where to file the category and I don't know enough to do a writeup on Odcuru or Andreshlew. I just found it sad that nobody knows what the hell Kermoria is and decided I'd try and spread the word. It'd be cool to have a geography section on the main page instead of just provinces.
