Alignment Project
Well I just did a crud load of additions to monster alignments, and hopefully flushed out the weapon enchancement page with more info on the various alignment effecting weaponry. The alignments are all pulled off of http://dndonline.gameamp.com so I hope its all correct. I noticed that our monster list is not complete either.Drydorn 21:57, May 2, 2006 (EDT)


 * I know... was trying to say 'stop' - the infobox does this automatically... and displays the info and allows updating and sub-categorization ^^/ - see my messages below (-: Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  22:20, May 2, 2006 (EDT)


 * how does the infobox magically enter all the alignments?Drydorn 22:55, May 2, 2006 (EDT)


 * Categorizes, not enters lol - just see the one I already did at Iron Defender... Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  00:38, May 3, 2006 (EDT)


 * By the way, if alignments are taken from another site, we should all mark them as, until we can verify them ingame (for instance using those alignment weapons). Tihocan 11:25, May 3, 2006 (EDT)


 * I didn't account for verification/unverification in the infobox (would mess up categorization). I could make it work, but it's tons of extra work; so I think let's just stick to verifing info before adding it, hmmm? Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  16:44, May 3, 2006 (EDT)


 * Ah, it's going to take a loooong time to get all alignments verified, unless we can find a truely reliable source (note: maybe that website is actually reliable, I don't know). Tihocan 13:10, May 4, 2006 (EDT)

Wiki questions

 * You do not "send" messages. You just edit the page like you did ;) Check out the url of this page: it is User Talk:Drydorn. You can edit the talk page of another user (for instance me: User talk:Tihocan) to communicate. Note that my own talk page is redirected on the whole Enterwiki network, you might need to register there too (not really sure if databases are merged at the moment).

Also how do I link to Category:Slashing_weapons? I can't figure it out, and how do I link a word like Slashing so it points to Category:Slashing_weapons?


 * Use a ":" in front: Category:Slashing weapons (edit this page to see how it's done). By the way, did you get my answer by email? Tihocan 09:36, April 27, 2006 (EDT)


 * I think you may be asking for this? slashing weapons are the roxor and here's why.  Edit to see the code behind.  | is the key.

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my user page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around (-;

 * Not that I know of, but I think it needs to be done. Since you are a self-proclaimed wiki noob, and likely to go start creating that list by *hand* if I said go do it, I'll try to lay out a path this time, then let you do it.
 * Go to every monster page on the site
 * Add this tag:  .
 * Replace 'QQQQ' with the alignment, such as for a chaotic monster.
 * Then, put this on the page :  Category:Chaotic monsters .
 * Wash, rinse, repeat; for every alignment.
 * Hope that did a somewhat acceptable job of explaining the proces to you. Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  23:58, April 30, 2006 (EDT)


 * By the way, what I usually do is I take screenshots while playing (Ctrl-P). Or I write stuff on a notepad. I don't edit the Wiki when I'm playing. Tihocan 14:25, May 1, 2006 (EDT)

Monster pages
We need to start adhereing the monster pages to the new infobox format. See Iron Defender. But first, lets figure out exactly how we want the monster pages to look; Right now that page is sort of ugly. The info-box we can eaisly re-format later, but it's harder to go through and re-format things later, so let's decide how we want all the monster pages in the wiki looking, right now. See discussing on that talk page, you can consider it the official monster page appearance and categorization discussion as of now. Elliott Cable -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  20:47, May 2, 2006 (EDT)


 * Yes, was thinking exactly the same. Better do some brainstorming, do one monster fully, and stick to the same template. Going repeatedly through all monsters to update all of them is going to be a pain, otherwise. Tihocan 11:00, May 3, 2006 (EDT)


 * I saw afterwards you started another discussion on the same topic on Talk:Iron Defender. Just linking it here for reference. Tihocan 11:15, May 3, 2006 (EDT)

Images
Don't know if you are putting images on monster pages, but make sure to upload them here or on commons; NOT hot-link them from other sites. Better yet, just put them in the infobox layout, it figures it outomatically. Elliott Cable -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  21:02, May 2, 2006 (EDT)
