someday...
I'd like to make Epic Destiny Feats a single nice sortable table. Sort by ML, sort by ED spheres, etc. Here's a draft, struggling with ugly popups in headers. Perhaps eventually convert to a new set of templates.

Reaper Bonus
Cru, I have multiple items with ReaperMRR and ReaperPRR on them, and when I equip more than one at a time I only get the 3 PRR or the 3 MRR. They do not stack. -- &rArr; Niminae (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:04, June 4, 2018 (EDT)
 * Well I have just tested stacking on a few items and it seemed to work. What I have discovered during my tests is that one piece of Paramnesial Lenses has Reaper Power Boost on em but it does not increase my powers AT ALL. So perhaps the bug is not stacking, but that some items fail to provide their bonuses in general. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 00:56, June 5, 2018 (EDT)
 * Well that's bizarre. All I can say is that I've had two items with a ReaperMRR bonus on and only seen a single +3 applied.  Thus my conclusion that this was not a typed bonus.  I've just ERed but next time I hit 28 I'll do a careful "try on" session and record my results.  -- &rArr; Niminae (Contribs • Message • Email ) 08:42, June 5, 2018 (EDT)

Merging new templates into templates being deprecated
I see you added Psychic Ward into Immunity and deleted Psychic Ward, but I'm unclear as to why. I thought we were trying to make the templating system more simplified and easier to remember/figure out by reducing or deprecating templates like MiscEffects, Dmg, Immunity, etc to be only the base of what they need to be? I asked in too, but you're not currently on. FTR... I'm not complaining and yes it was my opinion that they should all be merged into meta templates in 2013 as well, but we've seen a lot of new effects introduced since then and most of the old effects these templates were created for have been updated/modified and no longer exist or only exist on historic version of items no longer acquirable. If you think this discussion would be better in it's own page, I'm okay with you Moveding this message and continuing discussion there, just drop a Ppoi on my talk of the new location. Thanks. &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 12:13, July 20, 2018 (EDT)


 * I don't have a strong opinion, if you would prefer having it a separate template, go ahead. I just thought that it would fit there nicely. And I suspect this will be a fairly rare effect. Not sure if creating a separate template for one or two items makes stuff easier for casual editor. Dunno. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 13:04, July 20, 2018 (EDT)

CRs
Cru, thanks for the assist in deleting the old typo giant page. That should teach me to stop wiki-ing at 5AM before the 4th coffee. =) -- &rArr; Ringmaster
 * Actually I moved the page to Frost_Giant_Hetman, I assume that was your intention. Mmmm, coffee. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 14:50, August 28, 2018 (EDT)

Users want to thank you
That's right, you deserve your own topic section where we (collective users) get to keep coming back to tell you how much we appreciate your feedback. If you don't like the goodwill clutter on your page, go ahead and take it off. If it were up to me, I'd be sticking something like a Gold Star on your report card.
 * Re: category link... wow, that was easy... if I showed you my ridiculous attempts at naming the path of information you'd die laughing. I was trying to reinvent the wheel and it involved dancing chickens and virgin sacrifices. It was easy to find the chickens. &rArr; meander (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:19, August 30, 2018 (EDT)

Cosmetic listings
I'm working on creating what you suggested here: User talk:DDOstream Check my SandBox: User:Faltout/SandBox I believe I managed to collect all the cloak images (but it's hard to be sure). The only thing remaining now is how to display the information. You said something about a gallery? Can you show me an example with 2 or 3 cloak images? &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 09:13, November 17, 2018 (EST)
 * Maybe something like this: User_talk:Cru121? -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 09:48, November 17, 2018 (EST)
 * Added some line breaks between the cloak names. So you want the quest/chest information gone? Because it would be too much to fit in a single image. Perhaps a popup? &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:27, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * Yeah, basically the page should only show pics and popup can show any details needed.-- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 07:30, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * Check how the popups look. To be clear, you want the information of "Where the item drops" gone? Just list the items? If so, the names of the items could fit in the image if we made them a bit larger. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 08:16, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * If we can fit it in, let's add it. If we can't fit it in, readers can still find the location on the item page. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 12:56, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * It doesn't seem like it can fit. I don't like the popups above because they hide other images (popup from 2nd image hides 1st). I tried to make the names of the items a popup with the quest in it, but the popup is limited to the space of the image (if the popup tries to be outside of the image, it is cropped) which means that the popup is unreadable. I guess it's just the names of the items. Check my User:Faltout/SandBox again. I increased the heights to 450px to try to fit the names of the items in one line, but some names are so big (or some images are so narrow) that they wrap. It's just a few names though and I find it acceptable. If you like the current result I can start working on getting the templates out of my sandbox. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:03, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * In general I like it. The pics are a bit too large for my taste, but I understand that was necessary to fit in the captions. If I am reading this correctly, it should be possible to apply CSS style to captions. Would this allow us to make them smaller / not bold / narrow somehow? We probably would have to use the gallery tag directly instead of the template (?) -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 14:14, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * The captions are the standard text size. We can make them smaller, sure (much much smaller). However, the users would have trouble reading them. Check some bolded sizes: Medium size, Small size , Extra small size , Extra extra small size , Custom 7px size . If you feel we can go from the sandard size to small or extra small without sacrificing readability, I'm all for it. I'll edit an image above to showcase some sizes. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:32, November 18, 2018 (EST)
 * I would say go down to font size 12, or maybe also not bold. --cru121
 * Font-size reduced. Bold removed. Image height reduced to 400 from 450. Check my sandbox again. More names now wrap, but still not enough to be significant. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:53, November 19, 2018 (EST)
 * Just fine imho. -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 16:21, November 19, 2018 (EST)


 * I think those images are way too large making the page way too long. Please trim the size back to 300px tall or less.  Don't need to have the names at all, just update the links (using the alt) for the images to take the person to the item instead of having a popup of the name (that doesn't show on mobile because there is no hover) that people have to click on. &rArr; DDOstream (Contribs • Message • Email ) 10:14, November 21, 2018 (EST)
 * I don't understand what you are suggesting. allows you to show a default image in case the correct image can't be loaded. How would that help to display the links to a dozen items in one image? As for mobile, the wiki doesn't work well for mobile anyway. Popups do work (tap, hold and swipe), but elements all over the wiki are not optimized for mobile. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 13:05, November 21, 2018 (EST)

Just a heads up that when the item page has " |pic = ", the Nopic template can't function correctly inside the cosmetic DPL and we end up with the image but not the pages where it comes from. I removed this Nopic from a cloak, but as far as I can tell, all the new items that Tech13 entered have it and it. I would suggest removing Nopic from all the pages and placing it internally in the Named item template. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:42, November 30, 2019 (EST)
