Adding links to external sites.
I have recently spent many hours putting together a site to help people with the Cannith Crafting system, but I'm unsure of if it is possible to upload it with all its functionality to the wiki, so I was wondering if I am permitted to add an external link.

Named Weapon auto cat issues
Never really looked at categories much before. But recently noticed theres a lot of mess with them.. Been trying to clean up lots, but this one all you i think since its part of your ultra complex template: Check this page

Sword of Shadow

Notice the categories... Fire augmentation item?

Then click to the epic version: Epic Sword of Shadow

Unique Weapons.. Wrong case - correct cat is Unique weapons. Think a quick find and replace W with w might fix that one.. Other ones I have no idea.

Then I look at an actaul fire augementation item: Epic Helm of the Red Dragon Cat:Plane of night.. (Missing the _loot)

Yea i dunno. Im sure you can figure them out =) --Shade 11:28, August 31, 2011 (EDT)


 * K nice look like you fixed those problems.. Still always more to be done tho: Check this pages cats: Antique Greataxe.. See several inconsistancies still: Cat: Unique Two-handed weapon.. should be weapons.. plural. Cat: Unique Great Axes.. mm most cats are lower case, but yea i dunno. Can stay I guess since the ingame naming sorta dos that sometimes too, tho the proper term is Greataxes imo.
 * Then the loot categories are quite messy.. It adds it to both: The Maleficent Cabal loot and The Maleficent Cabal rewards (in this case the greataxe is an end-reward ONLY item).. And theres no way to edit it to not have it do that, since the chest and reward sections are inexplicably linked. I think just having the chest loot auto cat would be fne, and destroying the end reward auto cat mess, as we can and pretty much always do those manually anyways as they aren't too numerous or difficult to do, plus its neccesary to get the quest/reward auto-linking rewards pages to work anyways.
 * Also take a look at this mess: Destructive War Axe.. This one messy since the fields are filed wrong, but a quick glance shows nothing wrong with them.. Just again a few missing S's or spaces or not understand what "class" means causes lots of problems for the auto cats. Anyways bout to fix up that page so check the history to see what im talking about if u get this msg late. Not sure you wanan do the extra work to handle user-error on the template like that or not tho, could be a nightmare heh. The other fix should be an easy enough search and replace to replace every "weapon" with "weapons". --Shade 13:01, September 9, 2011 (EDT)

hirelings activity
Hi, I've done some major progress to automate the hirelings conversion to use the new template; however, I need you to add HP and SP field to the template:hireling. Thx, Jan --Cru121 06:45, September 22, 2011 (EDT)


 * I have pasted the hireling list to http://ddowiki.com/page/Talk:Hireling. There seem to be some issues. I personally think there's too much graphics. Also, we lose the ability to sort hirelings by level. That's a major usability loss. --Cru121 08:05, September 24, 2011 (EDT)
 * Also, it no longer possible to e.g. search for "death ward" to find useful hirelings... --Cru121 08:08, September 24, 2011 (EDT)


 * That is an awesome start.. I totally wasn't expecting a max loops error. I'll start debugging the templates and try to get them done by next week.  What do you mean by "search"?  Like hitting [CTRL]-[F] and using your browser to search?  Hadn't thought of dong that before..  I'm sure I could come up with something, maybe some hidden text that search can find or some sub-text on the graphics.  It also seems I have some more screenshots to make of level/class and commands.. I'll start with that tomorrow. . --  ShoeMaker 08:26, September 24, 2011 (EDT)
