New layout template RTOC
I made a new template RTOC to simplify putting a table of contents on the right side of an article:
{{RTOC}}
For examples, see Empath Healing and Elanthipedia:Projects --Farman 12:22, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
- Great idea, Farman. Put a note on the news about it and in the Template help maybe?--Naeya (talk) 14:08, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
It's a nice template but I don't know if it's important enough to be front-page newsworthy ;) I figured this as the best place to announce or spread the word about little formatting shortcuts like this. (FYI I have slightly edited my previous comment to include a link to the new template) --Farman 18:23, 3 July 2007 (CDT)
City Stubs
I was working on the stubs and was shocked to discover that no cities I could find have any substantial information. Anyone feel like making some stubs for Cities pages?
--Kraelyst 13:00, 17 October 2007 (CDT)
Yep, that's a very good place for substantial contributions to be made. I hope someone can find the time to add to it.
FWIW this isn't really a technical question, so I moved this discussion to "Miscellaneous" --Farman 14:52, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
I have begun working on a standard city layout. I started the discussion in Talk:The Crossing. Please take a look and provide input if you like. --Kraelyst 09:41, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
Bestiary Pictures
I have noticed color pictures in the bestiary that are clearly newer and not on the Simutronics Beastiary page, such as pictures of Adan'f. I've been doing a lot of bestiary work lately and would like to include these pictures. Where can I find them? --Kraelyst 09:43, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
- I'm assuming those are pictures from Stormfront. IE the ones you see when you LOOK at the creatures in game.--Naeya (talk) 10:03, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
News Item template
I made a simple little template for adding news items to the news panel on the front page: {{news item}}. I protected it since it's a component of the front page. --Farman 15:12, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
Template Link template
For that matter, I also whipped up a template to add a nicely-formatted link to a template article: {{tlink}}. --Farman 15:25, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
NPCs, Historical Figures, Authors, Shopkeepers
I feel like the NPCs are starting to get a little out of control. If we put every single name ever mentioned in DR into the NPC category it will render the category useless. I recommend we subdivide a little more like we already do with Category:Shopowner and keep most names out of the NPCs and associated categories.
I think specifically we should create/continue the following categories and not let these names also be in NPCs/Dead/Alive/Races/Guilds unless warranted as below:
I think we should reserve the "NPCs" category only for:
- 1. NPCs that have actually been in the game
- 2. NPCs that may potentially show up in the game (like guildleaders)
- 3. Very prominent historical figures (like Lanival, Morganae, Corik, etc...)
In fact, I'll probably go ahead and start doing this tonight as I review some of the additions from today. --Kraelyst 21:59, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
