User talk:PurpleSerpent/Trophy Gallery

I would love to save you a lot of time and effort on this page. I believe that we can automate population of this page. If you go through...

... and then we could replace the code on this page with something like: ... and finally we'd create U:PurpleSerpent/Trophy Gallery/phantom to actually put all the contents in the table. Thoughts on this? &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 13:06, October 18, 2021 (EDT)
 * Interesting idea, but I'm seeing a couple of issues. First up, I haven't categorised a lot of my images, so that would mean having to go back to 1000+ images and edit them to include the category. Also, I've photographed some monsters that I'm not including here (like uploads of stuff that had an image already, or summoned-only creatures) and I'm not sure how we'd automate the New Monster section. To be honest, I think at this point doing it by hand would be faster. I've only got about 40 additions to go anyway. Thanks for the offer, though! &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email ) 04:12, October 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * Just had go through and categorize them all in a matter of a few minutes.  The DPL in the collapsed box above should refresh when I save this response.  I can take care of the new monster section with an embedded query in the phantom.  Monsters that already had an image aren't included, as we're using createdby instead of modifiedby in the query.   &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 11:11, October 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll be fine. I actually quite enjoy doing it anyway! (Also, in all honesty I don't really understand how half of this stuff is working, so I'm a little reluctant to base my user page around it.) &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:28, October 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * No worries! Those monster pages all needed to be added to  anyway.   &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 14:38, October 21, 2021 (EDT)
