Don't suppose you know why RankMap1's table is messed up? -- [[User:Taral|Taral]] 00:05, 18 April 2008 (CDT)<br>
:Lemmie look into it.[[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi]] 00:16, 18 April 2008 (CDT)<br>
:Fixed, looks like I typoed when I was messing with one of the core templates. Bah![[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi]] 00:24, 18 April 2008 (CDT)
::Thanks! -- [[User:Taral|Taral]] 14:06, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

== Congrats! ==

Hey, Caraamon, congrats on being made admin! I like what you did with {{tlink|spell}} and {{tlink|item}} templates, automatically adding {{tlink|incomplete}} when the infobox is missing certain info, that's nicely coded. I made a few tweaks to {{tlink|incomplete}} to make it look better, hope you agree with my choices. --[[User:Farman|Farman]] 10:56, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

Hi Caraamon, I responded to your notice about the style manual on [[user talk:Farman|my talk page]]. --[[User:Farman|Farman]] 14:39, 19 April 2008 (CDT)


==Alicia Crowther==
Hi, I see you've moved the Alicia Crowther article from "[[Alicia]]" to "Alicia Crowther". How to name articles has been an ongoing concern for the Elanthiedia which has received much discussion in the past. A while back, however, everybody was able to agree on the first-name-only format (with a few exceptions) enough that it has been entered into the [[Elanthipedia:Manual_of_Style]]. Hope that helps. --[[User:Basselope|Basselope]] 12:59, 29 April 2008 (CDT)

== Template error ==

It appears that editing one of the templates involved in the Shop templates broke the display for shop pages. [[Berolt's Dry Goods]]<br>-[[User:Glimmereyes|Glimmereyes]] 08:19, 28 May 2008 (CDT)

:Edit: Nevermind, he made some edits yesterday. I think I'll leave it to him, since it's his baby now! For some reason it's not parsing the {{tlink|!}} correctly which is messing up the tables.--[[User:Naeya|Naeya]] <sup>([[User talk:Naeya|talk]])</sup> 09:11, 28 May 2008 (CDT)

Not sure what you did to the spell/enchante templates, but there's a weird line showing up as "{{#ifeq:<guild>|bard|" (where guild is that spell's guild) below every spell box now. Bards are fine --[[User:Thilan|Thilan]] 10:18, 11 July 2008 (CDT)

The change you made to [[Roopardua]] seems to have broken the page's NPC infobox. Tried fixing it but nothing's happening. --[[User:Thilan|Thilan]] 23:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

: The change that broke it was actually on the NPC Template, what happend was he added "filler" to the start of the template, and this filler interupted the wiki parsing of <nowiki>{|</nowiki> which '''must''' be at the start of its own line. --[[User:Callek|Callek]] 04:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

== Forms ==

Take a look at [[Form:Item]]. I'll be making one of those forms for all the item templates and other popular templates (like integrating all the shop templates into one form as well. Let me know if there's anything I missed. I haven't added all the worn slots yet.

== Cenedora ==
Hey Caraamon.

Cenedora is not a ring bearer. He was for about 3 days before I rerolled him and completely changed his character concept, he's not even in the same Elven Clan as before - I've destroyed the ring. Can you take him off the list?

== SMW Namespace FIXED ==

Hey! I fixed the namespace problem! However, everything that has been moved to one of the new namespaces needs to be moved back to the main namespace, then moved back to their custom namespace again. The factbox shows up correctly in the new namespaces once this has been done. It's a little tedious, but fixes our problem! I hope you haven't moved too many articles to the new namespaces yet! Let me know if you want help fixing all the affected pages.--[[User:Naeya|Naeya]] <sup>([[User talk:Naeya|talk]])</sup> 19:29, 19 June 2008 (CDT)
Hmm or I could be wrong. I've looked at a few more of them and they seem to be fine without the little switcheroo move thing. Let me know if you notice any problems.--[[User:Naeya|Naeya]] <sup>([[User talk:Naeya|talk]])</sup> 19:33, 19 June 2008 (CDT)
:By all the annoyingly silent gods, that's great. Thank you. Now if you're bored, maybe you might want to track down why the Forms explode if I try to activate autocomplete on source fields?

== Enchantes Pages ==

I'm not sure if you set up the templates for the spell pages, but I can't seem to find a way to unmark an article as complete. All of the Bard enchante pages are complete as of now - I would like to 'unincomplete' them if possible. Thanks! --[[User:Slowhubb|Slowhubb]] 20:20, 6 October 2008 (CDT)

Update:
Alright, I found the issue: The enchante template conversion broke something. For whatever reason, it's not tracking the variables necessary for completion correctly. For instance, I can have the enchante play times, song form, etc blank because the spell template doesn't track those fields to determine whether or not the article is complete.

I went through and updated most of the enchante pages to complete them, but it had the unintended effect of completing non-complete pages. Any ideas? I don't think I can edit the template myself to fix the issue.

Thanks! --[[User:Slowhubb|Slowhubb]] 23:21, 12 October 2008 (CDT)

Have you used <nowiki> <ask></nowiki> anywhere? If so I need to make some code changes. This was something that has to do with the SMW upgrade.

Titles

I've been changing some of the Title pages to use the TitleReq templates, rather than the extra pipes in the Title template, as I thought the TitleReq was the way things were going, but then I saw what you'd done with Barbarian Titles, so am thinking I may need to undo the changes I've made. Or, possibly use both styles so that TitleAsk and the individual Title pages both work? Thoughts? FuIru 20:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the long wait, I've been having internet problems. Use TitleAsk for the category pages and use the forms to do the individual title pages. The form knows how to process it correctly.Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 03:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

As you probably noticed I updated the titleAsk stuff to "work better" including pretty name, and linking etc. (we may want to update css/formatting on the "more" link... no time atm). I also added a TODO page to help with getting it all done (and caught up)! Also of note is the missing property, which I added generically to do things like what you just did today (add it to other templates), so thanks on that! --Callek 05:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Yep I saw and it looks good to me. -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 06:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Replied to you on my talk page. again --Callek 20:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

hey, any idea what is up with the Title ToDo page, it refs the missing::TitleReq and still shows many pages that no longer have that. Even its "more" link shows that. Nearly the whole first results have that problem. Is it a Semantic bug, a function of how elanthipedia is cached, or did I do some mistake? If a semantic MW bug I can surely dig and attempt to fix stuff, but it may take a bit of work. (my best guess is its a factor of Semantic MW + parser functions together, the #if stuff) --Callek 03:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

It's a caching issue as far as I can tell. Basically, until the page is purged after the semantics change, it won't send it to the search engine properly. At least that's the issue I keep running into. If that doesn't work.... lemmie know and I'll poke into it. -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 07:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I've found a fix. Purging (i.e. refreshing) isn't enough, you actually have to do a no-change edit and save for it to be updated correctly. I suspect it has to do with the fact they were shifted namespaces, but I'm not sure of the details. -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 07:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Yea, purging in and of itself did not work (I can also purge :-) ) which is where I was confused. --Callek 15:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, and looks like it STILL did not update that ToDo page (I see a few that still shouldn't be there)... unless you mean purge/blank-save on the Title:* pages themselves. --Callek 15:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Yep. Gotta resave each individual title page. Why? Damned if I know. -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi(talk) 19:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
