new wikify templates, very annoying
who added bunch of these to content subpages (/... pages) without checking inclusion? so annoying. i dont think and some others are so unnecessary for this wiki. i just fixed the Night Revels page but i'm sure you broke many others. was it done by auto-wiki editor or something? where can i find admin discussion page for these? oh, gwad, so poorly done. very annoying. -- yoko5000 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 01:09, February 4, 2016 (EST)
 * I tend to agree about these changes being poorly thought out. At the very least such a major change should have been put up for discussion first. As far as where to discuss it, the maintenance template category talk might be as good as any. The templates in that category are the ones that were added to all the pages. - Susalona (Contribs • Message • Email ) 01:35, February 4, 2016 (EST)
 * DDO:AN/P is the explanation of the project. No, the tags don't need to stay on those pages, but I had it tag them all anyways so that we (I) could go through on a focused attack now while I have a little time and throw Nobots on them.  All that needs to be done when you find those pages is "undo" the change and add that template to the top of the page (possibly inside of  tags like Nobots) and those pages won't be tagged again in the future.

Template replacements
The changes that replaced T:Quests by level heroic table row and T:Quests by level epic table row with T:Quests for level completely broke all the pages that used them. As an example:

The edit summary was "Two templates replaced with one.". The 2 templates display different xp values for each quest (heroic or epic). While merging the 2 templates into 1 would seem like an easy thing to do, there would need to be a way to distinguish which values (heroic or epic), you need each time. And to do that, you would need to pass a parameter to the phantom template, which is almost impossible to do. The simplest and best solution was to make 2 templates.

As a bot, you have even more responsibility to make sure the changes don't break things. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:58, July 13, 2018 (EDT)
