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)

Gem Selling

Hey can you proofread and copy-edit Selling_Gem_Pouches for me, I'm not sure if that is clear enough. But I just wanted to write an article on it from all my times explaining the methods to newcomers in the gemshop in crossing! (I plan on writing a page on the numbers, and one "for traders" to refer to eventually) --Callek 18:21, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to better word it at the moment, but tieing a pouch actually creates 2 items, not one. It is one for the pouch itself, and one for all the gems inside. --Callek 21:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

response

I responded on my user talk. As far as the changes go, I've provided proof but honestly, they're about things that are general reputation. It's well known, and Ragran is attempting to hide it. As someone who works full time on wikis, I am quite averse to people trying to whitewash their own articles that read like puff-pieces. Fenance 22:53, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
