Emotes
Hey! Respectful disagreement re Emotes. Maybe just need their own subsection - see my thoughts here: Talk:Emote. No rush, hardly time-critical. :) C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:21, January 8, 2016 (EST)
 * Bump - Been a week, so I'll go ahead and just separate the 2 sub-groups on the existing Chat/Commands page in a couple days if you have no comment. All good, later, C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 15:22, January 15, 2016 (EST)


 * I've been stupid busy. What was this conversation about? ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:31, January 15, 2016 (EST)
 * NP, figured as much. In a nutshell, a week ago I had moved "emotes" to their own page, and you reverted, keeping them combined w/ /commands on the chat page. I understand WIKI "KISS" reasoning etc., but I feel they ~are~ markedly diff than in-game /commands. I think they should (at least) have their own separate subsection on same /chat command page. (full reasoning here: Talk:Emote). Unless you object, I'll do that w/ code that had been on separate page. C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:27, January 15, 2016 (EST)
 * I thought I had said it's fine to put them in their own section on the page, but not to split it out into it's own page. Too many pages on the same topic makes it harder to search for topics. I may not of, my memory isn't what it used to be... ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 21:04, January 15, 2016 (EST)

Hireling pages
On another topic - the Table on this hirelings page was too messed up to read, and I didn't know how to fix it w/ Template:Hirelings_phantom. I copied the table code from the main List of Hirelings page, but that one doesn't use the Template. I ~did~ save all existing code as a comment below the (now legible) current table. You were the last to edit that page, so figured you'd know best how to proceed, if any correction needs to be made at all. (If you want to line me out, happy to do the work, just lemme know what/how, or where to read up on it.) Thx, C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 15:22, January 15, 2016 (EST)
 * You should never use T:Hirelings phantom. All of the hireling pages are likely borked right now as it will be a major project for me to go through and build all the new templates for all of them. Still on my list of things to do, but it is a fairly complicated template system (yes, system), so it'll be awhile before I can get around to it.  You'd have to have lots of template/DPL experience to figure it out, so it's likely best left to someone with that level of knowledge (maybe  or ... not sure who else has that level of knowledge that is active).  ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:31, January 15, 2016 (EST)
 * I found it there (but broken), that's the only reason I even asked. K, old-school hard-coded table works for now, and I (clearly) need the practice anyway. C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:27, January 15, 2016 (EST)

29 Edits and NOT counting...
btw - When I first landed here a week ago, you had edited my User home page by removing full code to Edit Counter and replacing w/ a Template for same - cool in theory, but it seems to be "not" counting, stuck on "29 and counting" for well over +100 edits since. Best fix? Thoughts? C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:27, January 15, 2016 (EST)
 * Not automatic (yet). Manually update it once every tier or 300-500 edits... ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 21:07, January 15, 2016 (EST)

New account welcome
You asked me about a design for Welcomecreation-msg. I like the way looks and works. Obviously it has a completely different purpose. You could change the sort button into next and previous buttons or a submit button. You could have one question at a time or all of them on the screen at once. I figure the code for selecting categories from a list could be used to ask which servers the user plays on. Are the question responses going to be used to create a first talk page post or a blurb on the user page? If so, I would suggest not automatically saving but preloading it so the user has the option to edit it before saving. —&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (T·C) 19:06, January 16, 2016 (EST)
 * Funny you mention it. lol I just created a TESTNEW account to see what creating an account currently does to get an idea for working on this project. I was thinking a simpler version of customized for DDOwiki. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 20:26, January 16, 2016 (EST)
 * That would work too. I've never run through TWA, but it would be useful to have a learning exercise for new editors. —&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (T·C) 20:40, January 16, 2016 (EST)

Why keep page?
Why are we keeping this page Talk:Trade_between_charactors? It reads more like a forum post, there is no actual article behind the "talk", the Trade page covers it all plus more, and (almost) nothing links to it. If there is a reason, what's the rationale that I'm missing? (Also, a quick edit note as to ~why~ you are reverting will help me understand local Wiki policy better, thx!) C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:39, January 18, 2016 (EST)
 * Talk pages are not blanked or deleted. They keep record of discussions and are suppose to look like forum posts. They are for wiki discussion, not for visitor research. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:54, January 18, 2016 (EST)
 * Sure, but they are supposed to discuss the article in question, not be created in and of themselves, right? That page was never "for Wiki discussion", the answer was never molded into any page (until Trade) - it was a player's personal question, pure and simple. Which is what the forums are for. Maybe move it to the Talk on that Trade page? C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email )

Regarding Template:Stat
No issue with you reverting my change, but then why is User:JJMC89 policing my edits for something he is either wrong about or that doesn't matter? See Item:Diamond of Spooky Wisdom +2 and Item:Diamond of Spooky Intelligence +2. I don't appreciate nitpicking on things that are irrelevant and I don't like being pulled between 2 admins who differ on what is correct or incorrect. Thanks. Susalona (Contribs • Message • Email ) 21:44, January 20, 2016 (EST)
 * The reason it is all caps in the example section of the template is to show that the template is coded cleverly enough to not care about what case is used with the template. That said, it's good practice to use the normal proper case on articles (knowing the template won't care if you accidentally type SPooky or sPooky instead of Spooky) for the sake of readability.  polices my edits sometimes too, it doesn't break anything and calms an apparent pet peeve of his, so I just let it be.

Template:Wizardry
Looking to update this but running into a couple issues and would like a couple pointers if possible. Thanks in advance. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:39, February 2, 2016 (EST)
 * 1) Old items (pre-U29) used Wizardry I to XI for 25 to 275 spellpoints. Newer items use integers, and those integers are exactly the spellpoints you get. The current template uses something that converts integers to roman numerals. I was wondering if a reverse tool existed (convert roman numeral to integer) and if we can then multiply this result by 25 prior to returning it, but I'm not sure where to even begin looking for this.
 * 2) In general, what style of coding does the Wiki use, and what's a good place to learn this code better?
 * There is Roman2Dec (available from the "Template Functions" version of the edit tools below). You're also going to want to use Int to display numbers probably.  As for style of coding, it's not really 'defined' since only like 3 people do it, but you can probably get the idea based on checking out existing templates. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:19, February 2, 2016 (EST)
 * I have it completely done up in Python, and working relatively well. I just can't find some of the tools I need to get it done in wikicode. I've posted the Python version (including a romantodec conversion) in the discussion page User_Talk:Habreno/Wizardry for the proposed rewrite; if there's some source I'm missing please link it. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:29, February 15, 2016 (EST)
 * YAY! I think we have it! See User:Habreno/Wizardry. Still needs the Categorization, but that's not as difficult. Of importance: None of the old pages should have to be updated, unless they expressed the Wizardry in an integer format instead of a Roman Numeral format. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 00:57, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * Updated with a second parameter (which defaults to Enhancement if unlisted, to keep compatibility with old templates). A lot of items will need updating to properly show (a lot of items used Ints instead of Roman Numerals...); I could go through them manually or perhaps there's a bot that'd be able to do it? Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:21, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * I could do it with, but I'd need a list of pages and what changes need to be made. Also, those items will probably all need new screenshots anyways. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:30, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * Awesome. I'll throw a list of pages on User_Talk:Habreno/Wizardry under its own section. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:18, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * The list will probably be something like Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Wizardry, no? ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:36, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * Not necessarially; most of it's simply item pages. A lot of the other pages on that list are autofilled by various categories and don't actually have anything on them specifically to update. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 20:34, February 29, 2016 (EST)
 * EDIT: It appears that some of the Category pages may in fact also need inclusion on the page list. Let me go through that entire list of pages and see if it's a better starting point. Habreno (Contribs • Message • Email ) 20:41, February 29, 2016 (EST)

U29 Armors
I noticed that the armors availaible from Legendary Tempests Spine and Legendary Hox show PARRYING numbers in the tooltip (barter box) that differ from the current wiki pages. I cannot confirm which is correct as I don't own any of these armors. If someone can confirm I can amend the pages (or not) as neccessary. Eddivan (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:37, May 24, 2016 (EDT)
 * Do you have a specific list of pages? I have some of the armors, and could probably get others pretty easy from guildies linking or whatnot.  Thanks. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:48, May 24, 2016 (EDT)
 * Cool, thanks. Complete list is on my Talk page User_talk:Eddivan. All items are currently showing Parrying +7/14 but in-game tooltips are showing +7/7 Eddivan (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:40, May 24, 2016 (EDT)

Monster Manual
I'd appreciate your input on what to do with Jeets Shimis. Under the "I Dream of Jeets section", he has a monster manual type of Halfling, with a comment stating "unkillable", but he's not in MM. It's not that he's missing from MM, because he doesn't get killed, and therefore should not appear in MM. What would you do with him? Give him a MM type of None?

Same deal with Rand. I suspect Super-Ego can't be killed either, and therefore also falls into this category. Eeepy (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:16, July 2, 2016 (EDT)


 * He's not killable, and I wouldn't consider him a monster. I found another one like that and I changed it to use the NPC template instead. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 19:01, July 2, 2016 (EDT)

Single monster and list of monsters in one habitat
Hey there.

This finally looks good enough to ask for review. All of it is still unoptimized, kludgy-but-solid-enough and expected to change as necessary, but for the first time it does what I want it to do. I didn't even try automatic categorization, since I still have difficulties understanding the flow of some of that in Monster and elsewhere, so if this gets green-lighted, it will probably need your expertise. Moreover, it does away with the numbered habitatNN and hnoteNN: forgive me, but while trying to make this system work with them, I got blinded by the flash of genius of how to make it work without them. As I said, it's all expected to change as necessary.

Let me show you what I have now:
 * User:Aldyron/Sandbox/Kobold Shaman for dpl
 * User:Aldyron/Sandbox/Magefire Cannon for dpl
 * User:Aldyron/Sandbox/Template List of monsters in habitat

The first two links go to monster pages using an almost-standard Monster and a few other templates and phantom templates.

Magefire Cannon has its auxiliary templates inside its own parameter "habitat", unnumbered to get skipped by Monster, one row per aux template. Kobold Shaman has its aux templates outside of Monster, with some aux templates exploded for readability. They all work the same, as far as this system is concerned.

Both pages are full of overkill extraneous and/or unlikely and/or plain wrong data, in order to try functionality of the whole system. Both pages sport a dpl table that I believe should eventually be embedded in Monster, with all the due modifications. The dpl code in each page queries the very same page itself, pulls out data from Monster first; then, row by row, the queries override default data from Monster if there's a same-named parameter in the aux template corresponding to the habitat in question. This can (and most likely will) produce a table with mostly identical rows: I've left Kobold Shaman actual data almost intact in order to show just that. On the other hand there are examples of monsters with severely variable data from habitat to habitat.

The third link goes directly to a few examples of what in my mind should become the monsters section of Quest. It works similarly, but with no self-querying; row by row, dpl pulls out default monster data first, then a sub-query checks aux templates, and if the habitat is the right one, it overrides default monster data as necessary.

As you can see, the testbed quests don't even exist. I planned to use User:Aldyron/Sandbox/Missing in Action as a testbed for interaction with Quest, but I doubt it will be necessary.

Oh, while I was at it, I put in a new parameter called "group", that I intended to suggest for inclusion in Monster, useful for, say Devil Assault (quest) or The Storm Horns.

I'm at your disposal to discuss the whole thing, but not before tomorrow: right now I have 16:9, rectangular, pipe-shape-slotted eyes and I don't want to see any more dpl code for at least 24 hours! :-))

Aldyron (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:35, October 11, 2016 (EDT)
 * I see what you've done and it looks like a lot of extra end user work (which the purpose of the changes is to reduce long term end user work). I'll have to look at it again and maybe play with it a little, but it looks over complicated at first glance.  Maybe I can make it simpler. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 19:38, October 11, 2016 (EDT)
 * On that matter, I'd like to point out that numbering similar-named parameters, while useful for programming purposes, is also extra end-user work. I silently did the extra work until now, but since the topic came out... Case in point, Lesser Gray Ooze, freshly edited: I deleted two habitatNN lines, so after that I had to edit another 29 lines (i.e., the whole habitatNN/hnoteNN block) to correct the numbering. Just my opinion.
 * Aldyron (Contribs • Message • Email ) 19:47, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * It's not really extra work. Once they are all gone through and initially set to the current set of the game, it's just a matter of adding them as they appear in new quests.  It's unlikely that once a monster is in a quest it will ever be removed.  For that matter, the template should allow for a certain size gap in numbering to make it so renumbering manually is not needed (I can write a simple bot script for maint purposes but it won't affect the display any).  The English Wikipedia allows for a gap of 5 numbers per set (so, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 12 is fine but 1, 2, 3, 24, 25, 30 is not). ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 20:20, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * In fact, I just created T:Monster/sandbox to test the issue with gaps, they don't have to be renumbered at all. So, no additional work there.  ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 20:34, October 12, 2016 (EDT)

Broken template
It appears you made changes to Template:Enhancement table/item that broke it. Witness the formatting errors on nearly every row of Pale_Master_enhancements. Hoopy Froodle (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:17, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks. I was aware of that. It's actually the usages of the template that are broken and the template that was fixed.  The template used to have a hack job in it to accommodate cases where the link was manually set to   or  .  We are no longer doing that horrible way of seeing what pages are missing and are instead just going with redlink page names.  Every page that used to use that old style of formatting will need to be updated.  It'll just be a matter of time and it should all be fixed, not something I can bot edit - needs to be done manually one at a time. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 18:25, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * I've fixed that particular page the way it should be fixed by simply removing all of the empty link lines. You now see all the pages show up as redlinks (looks horrible probably, but is correct).  The next step, when someone has the time is to create all those red link pages with just the information for that one effect/enhancement.  Should look something like what I did with breaking Dwarven Shield Mastery‎ into Dwarven Shield Mastery‎ I, Dwarven Shield Mastery II‎, and Dwarven Shield Mastery III‎ or Xen'drik Weapon Training‎ into Xen'drik Weapon Training‎ I,  Xen'drik Weapon Training II‎,  Xen'drik Weapon Training‎ III, and Xen'drik Weapon Training IV‎. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 18:35, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * Is it a matter of programming style? I think of blank lines like link as perfectly normal. That way someone can copy and paste an empty template and fill in whatever lines they want. It's easy enough to test for a blank value and ignore it -- certainly less work than editing all those pages by hand, wouldn't you say? Hoopy Froodle (Contribs • Message • Email ) 19:18, October 12, 2016 (EDT)
 * It's partly style, yes. It's mostly that it's the most likely way to clean out all the broken parameter lines with   or  .  I'll adapt it to allow for an empty parameter again later once the   or   and existing blank lines are cleared.

Bulk Edits
Hey Shoe, thanks for the tips. I've re-read the minor edit page and I've found where I was getting caught up on whether or not or not it should be minor. Apologies for any trouble that caused. I do have a question about the bulk edits, though. When I was fixing the DDO Store page, clicking edit at the top did not bring up the entire page, and most of the entries had to be changed manually. When I went to edit the guild page, I assumed it was the same concept, hence the massive amount of edits. Looking over it now I see that the edit found at the top of that page would have allowed me to just ctrl + f and replace almost every instance with a single edit. Is there a way to tell whether or not it can be bulk edited other than manually checking each time? Again, sorry for any trouble I caused and thanks for your help! Abolisher (Contribs • Message • Email ) 17:15, January 11, 2017 (EST)
 * You can always edit the whole page in one shot... Look for the  links at the top of the page and click on Edit which should open the whole page for editing (instead of the little edit links for each section).  Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut of Alt to open the page in edit mode... There are very few pages that don't work that way. ShoeMaker  22:19, January 11, 2017 (EST)

moving around of Wall of Wood and similar
My understanding of the release notes is different. When reaper was introduced, some items from that pack started to drop without some enhancements (probably because those items have N/H/E version, but they didn't have a reaper version, so items pulled on reaper were missing some enchantments). Now they are fixing it - players can upgrade they incomplete items in the stone of change. TL;DR: Imho there's no need for any history business (even if, it should probably only apply to HE and EE versions of the items).-- Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 10:50, March 14, 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, that's my understanding as well - items are currently dropping as broken, and they are putting in a method to fix them; they're not actually changing the items. "Outdated" was probably the wrong word to use in the notes. - LrdSlvrhnd (Contribs • Message • Email ) 21:17, March 14, 2017 (EDT)

Template:Named Item
I know this is a work in progress, and has been for a while (and the coding challenges are above me) - but you are aware that all named item pages now list Minimum Level = 20, and have for several days, right? Wondering, if ETA is not "soon", whether temporarily going back to using old template might be an idea while new one is sandboxed toward functionality? Or whatever the best short-term fix might be.

Conflict with new monster 'Flare'
In the new quest Third Time's a Charm there is an optional elemental named Flare. I've added all the other bosses in this quest but there is already a page named Flare that I don't want to overwrite.

Messed up links for Item categories
Was on the page of Item:Signet of the Silver Flame when I attempted to click on the link for the Dark Scarab Powder. But instead as I expected to bring me to the page of Item:Dark Scarab Powder it send me straight to Named quest rewards. So that was odd and I thought I try to get there from the other direction. So I went to the Necropolis page and clicked on the Necropolis Scarab powder collector link of Squire Rale and as well went to the Named quest rewards collection overview. Wouldn't be a big issue if those items but they arent. Ok I thought, maybe just because a collection is missing so I actually created the Category:Necropolis Scarab collectable a bit similar to Category:Emerald Claw Nugget reward_items however only including the section. This is rendering fine in teh Categorie istelf but it still don't show up. SisAmethyst (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:11, October 1, 2017 (EDT)
 * Okay. So, the link you clicked on for  actually is a section link that is suppose to go to Named quest rewards  except that section  doesn't exist since  modified the page with  to use Help:Extension:NiceCategoryList instead of being all typed out due to template inclusion size issues (IIRC).

 * Yes I saw that, which is why I thought creating a Category for those items would foul the NCL to actually include it, but while it shows the content on the page itself, it also state on the bottom line This category currently contains no pages or media. . As such I guess it will not be included as it is considered empty. So as I see it there are three options: 1. we add (like in the past) elements that are not part of the category manually to this page, with the risk it will be cluttered again like before. 2. we actually add those items to the created category, so that they show up but then they may not be groupped by the scarab powder. 3. we create a dedicated page for reward items that are not directly quest related.

 * Just tried this and added manually the category to Lumric's Longbow and voila it shows up. Not with the item, but now at least the category name itself is listed.

Monsters: same name, different identity
I was updating CRs for some of the monsters in the Servants of the Overlord quests, and noticed issues of overlap between those quests and the Stromvauld's Mine quests:
 * same name, different CR, different graphic, (possibly different powers?), same MM entry: Drow Wizard
 * same name, different CR, different graphic, (possibly different powers?), different MM entry: Drow Warrior
 * same name, different CR, same graphic?, (possibly different powers?), no MM entry: Jarilith (vs Ruins of Gianthold)

These differences cause problems for the CR extractor on quests. One solution would be to split the entries. Something like: Drow Warrior (Stromvauld%s Mine) and Drow Warrior (Web of Chaos). Possibly also Drow Warrior (Forgotten Realms) as the Forgotten Realms / Underdark drow use different graphics to the Eberron drow - I don't know if their powers or CR differ. Disambiguation pages could link the versions.

PS: you made an error when cleaning up the Drow Wizard - CR 20 is normal hard in Servants of the Overlord, not epic hard. Leaving it unfixed until we figure how to represent this.

&rArr; Nom (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:47, November 5, 2017 (EST)
 * I'd think a single page is sufficient. Simply add multiple sections if they're multiple monster entities with the same name in different locations (as long as the entities are indeed different and not the same entity in multiple places).  CRs don't belong in hnotes, they belong in the CR section.  If it's actually two different monsters, then it should have been indicated as such.  I simply moved all the CRs up the page to the correct section.  Since there was a CR for HH that was in line with the HN and HE I assumed, like has happened many times before, that it was meant to be EH for the CR.  Also, I'm thinking about redoing the monster template to allow for multiple CR values based on quest level.  I'm guessing there is a formula, but I've not had time to work it out yet.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 22:58, November 5, 2017 (EST)
 * What would you consider "two different monsters"? Obviously, the Drow Warrior in Servants of the Overlord is the same as for The Spinner of Shadows (same CR, same abilities, same graphic).  But what about:
 * same CR, different graphic (e.g. Web of Chaos vs Forgotten Realms)?
 * same in name only (e.g. Stromvauld's Mine vs Web of Chaos)?
 * Some games have the same monster at varying power levels. As far as I can tell, DDO usually has a single "instance" of each monster, varying only by difficultly level (with the exception of some of the festival quest monsters, which seem to exist at fully scaling CRs).  This makes me think that the different "Drow Warriors" are all "different" monsters that happen to have the same name text.  Which suggests to me that they should have different Wiki entries, if we can solve the name disambiguation issue.
 * &rArr; Nom (Contribs • Message • Email ) 00:49, November 6, 2017 (EST)
 * PS: the comment about the Drow Wizard was evidence that the current mechanism is confusing when the game re-uses monster names, not a complaint about the edit. :)
 * I'm going to say that different graphics is probably two different monsters. This is most likely to occur in cases where it's the same monster in two different realms.  That said, there are monsters known to have different graphics and definitely being the same monster (eg Arraetrikos), so I'm not sure.  I've asked for more data and opinions/thoughts of the matter on DDOwiki's .  Feel free to pop over there and see if you can't encourage more discussion on the topic as well.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 17:11, November 6, 2017 (EST)


 * A related issue is that the automatic CR lookup for quest tables breaks if the "same" monster exists in different quests. To me, the quest -> monster linking seems the most useful part of the process.
 * Workaround: create a separate monster page when the CR differs. However, there's been a pushback against doing this.
 * Fix: add a 'hcrN' entry to the MM habitat mechanism, that allows a custom CR entry for a particular quest. The purist in me thinks that cleanest way to do this is allow multiple CR lines under CR (e.g. cr1, cr2, ...) and then allow the habitat entries to cross reference them.  This makes it very easy to see that (say) Wolf exists with two different CR versions, and then the habitats can pick the version they want.  It also means that (say) updating heroic hard CR for wolf in Disciples of Shar also updates it for Escape Plan, which is (a) usually desirable and (b) how all the other pages work.  I looked into doing this myself but am not familiar enough with the template language.
 * Alternative: some sort of "variants" sub-entry for monsters to handle different CRs / pictures / etc that can be auto-linked back to the main monster page.

I see nothing in this list that suggests adding any categories, especially against the user's own wishes (unless you care to add "outing SSG staff against their wishes" as an official project).  And rather than having a bureaucratic editing war over a user's namespace, I suggest you leave it as the user requests until and unless another bureaucrat weighs in on the subject.

AoV enhancement icons
Note that non-login user is me. I put the icons on AoV because texts are not quit visible which spells I can acquire when I just read them, even if the icon is different from actual enhancement icon we both know. that's why I put new icons near the existed icons. For example, Seeing the icon makes me think of Sovereign Host Symbol or Unyielding Sovereignty, not Cure Light Wounds. other people may think same. other icons are same all, thinking different.

by the way, just revising was ok if you think that's better, but protecting the page when you revised 2 times made me quit unpleasurable with my thought that you think all of non-login users are potentially bad for contributing page as if doing Vandalism. of course we had lack of talk and that's my fault, but protecting the page was seen as if you deny my intention to make the page better, not acceptable. again, revising was ok though you might be bothered to do 2 times, but protecting was quit unpleasurable.

 * I've reformatted the table on the Angel of Vengence page in what I hope is a clearer way. I agree that the linked spell names in the description should be enough.  The other issue is that "Sun Bolt" doesn't give you "Lightning Bolt", it gives you a "Sun Bolt" SLA etc. We can reformat it a little more, but that section of the page is already way too long IMHO.

 * You should have said something in the appropriate talk page (linked above) before removing the links from a small portion of the quests. It's not unheard of to take on a project and leave it midway. Also, the last time you commented on this topic (links for the bestower), you said that bestower in the template should be left unlinked because of edge cases where the bestower is not an NPC. Since then, a couple of quests have had their bestower updated and not necessarily an NPC. So now that you changed your mind and you want bestower linked, you just broke a bunch of quest pages. Bottomline: Please correct all the pages that use bestower or revert the change to MissionInfoBox and give the free quests the bestower link back. (Example of broken page: The Cloven-jaw Scourge: The Caverns of Shaagh) Either way, stop leaving the wiki in a broken state. &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:50, May 12, 2018 (EDT)

NPC Template hiccup
The "Location" line for NPC's seems borked. All NPC pages currently displays brackets around the written location, and sometimes double-displays w/ a "Category" tag (e.g. Baudry Cartamon, Arman Argentine). Beyond my wiki-fu to troubleshoot. &rArr; C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:20, July 20, 2018 (EDT)
 * See Template talk:NPC. From what I can tell, the plan is to actually update 1000 NPC pages. Tech13 has already updated about 30 pages in the last 3 days. If he keeps that pace, he'll be done in 97 days. And then we'll have that super useful information like Category:Power Play Artificer trainers. Who knew there were artificer trainers inside quests?! :) &rArr; Faltout (Contribs • Message • Email ) 04:34, July 21, 2018 (EDT)
 * The reason for that is because people hard linked the location for NPCs instead of just typing in the location and letting the template link them. I'm working on it.

Your re-edit of Barovian Regalia
This robe does not provide Potency bonus at all. It provides an Exceptional bonus to Universal Spell Power which stacks with Exceptional Potency or Exceptional Elemental Spell Powers similar to how an Implement provides an Equipment bonus to USP and stacks with Equipment bonuses to Potency and Elemental Spell Power.

I have now updated Template:SpellPower to allow Universal Spell Power as a parameter. As for spell lore, I am not sure if we have other sources of Exceptional bonuses to Spell Critical chance. If not, then we don't really have to differentiate between Exceptional Spell Lore and Exceptional Universal Spell Lore. &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 02:16, April 30, 2019 (EDT)

Sudden edit warning on User page
Hey - I went to edit my User/"Wiki Code" page today, and received a Warning (2, actually) that I have never seen before. They were immediately under the standard "This is only a Preview..." warning at the top of the Edit page, and, similar to that, were in red:
 * Warning: U:C-Hound/Wiki Code is calling T:Tl with more than one value for the "2" parameter. Only the last value provided will be used.


 * Warning: U:C-Hound/Wiki Code is calling T:Tl with more than one value for the "1" parameter. Only the last value provided will be used.

I had edited the page earlier in the day, and so tried to roll back those edits - and returned it to its original state (Nov '19), but the warning persists. Which would make me think maybe something else got tweaked on a meta/code level behind the scenes, but nothing jumps out in "recent edits" (and "recent" could be anything since November). So... it's beyond my Wiki-fu, but it's still garishly annoying. Solution/workaround, or learn to ignore? I don't edit it often, but it bothers me to know "something is not right" on that page.

Wilderness Zone monster table standard?
So, I was looking at some Wilderness Zone pages, seeking to help improve and complete things, but now I'm a little confused. I haven't looked at every single Wilderness Zone page yet, but I am noticing a major divergence in how some of them set up their monster tables. For example, pages like The_Cerulean_Hills and Tangleroot_Gorge have auto-compiled monster tables just like what you would find in most quests. As far as I can telll, the coding for this is   But pages like Sands_of_Menechtarun and Three-Barrel_Cove_(heroic) have manually-entered monster tables. As I haven't checked all other wilderness zone pages yet, I don't know if there are yet more styles of doing it. So, my question is: Is there actually any one specific style that -all- Wilderness Zone pages -should- follow for their monster lists, and if so, can you point out one that would serve as a good example to model all other Wilderness Zone monster sections on? &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:07, September 13, 2020 (EDT)
 * Auto-compiled monster tables just like what you would find in most quests is preferred. That way the table is always as up to date as possible and we only have to edit the monster pages themselves.  If you post a message on 's talk page, I will try to make an example on stream this week.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 08:49, September 14, 2020 (EDT)
 * Hmm, I don't think I will need an eample on DDOstream (and many not be able to attend regardless), but...I do have another question. So, I have noticed that when creating a creature page for instance just using the standard creature template, the creature page is automatically included in various categories based on its template entries. Particularly, for every that is added to a creature page, the creature is added to a category that says "Monsters in ". For Wilderness Zones like Sands of Menechtarun, it has multiple Slayer quests that are tracked separately based on which enemies you kill. I just tested something, so I know the base coding of the auto-categorization and auto-compiling tables does not work this way currently, but...could it be possible, at some point in the future, to alter the coding of the auto-categorization/auto-compiling to allow for monsters that belong to a specific Slayer quest be included in a separate table for that list, rather than a single table for everything? For example, instead of having the code for a single auto-compiled table for every creature in the zone, have three separate tables with the codes, , and  ? For each individual creature page, obviously, most likely they will need to have some sort of tag or marker manually added that signifies which of the categories they fall into (since more than just Gnoll-types belong to the "Gnolls of Menectarun" Slayer, more than just Scorrow-types belong to the "Scorrow of Menechtarun" Slayer, and so on...), beneath the general umbrella of "Monsters in Sands of Menechtarun". But does this sound like something that could be done in the future? &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:05, September 14, 2020 (EDT)
 * If I understand what you're asking, what you really want is a parameter in Monsters in quest that will allow you to specify a type or race to refine filtering by the template? That template was not actually intended for slayer areas, but it's been adapted to it and works okay - I could create a new template for more specific filtering for your use case.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 12:21, September 14, 2020 (EDT)
 * Eh....sort of but not quite? Actually, on second thought, I should probably spend more time getting familiar with the structure of the auto-compiling table coding myself so I can be more accurate and specific about what I'm thinking of. May revisit this line of inquiry some time in the future, but for now, I do know all I need to know, and that is simply to update Wilderness Zone pages with manually-listed monsters to use an auto-compiled table instead. For now, go ahead and forget about this coding question, I know you have so many other much more important projects on the wiki to keep on top of. Thank you for your help and attention though! &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:54, September 14, 2020 (EDT)

Transition to DPL3 extension
Given the transition towards using the DPL3 extension and no plans on reverting mentioned by Xevo Named_items_category, I'm not sure I understand the value in leaving in the dplcache references in the macros (or templates). I see completely removing (not leaving commented) the dplcache parameter as providing two benefits. 1) Readability. It's easier to read the code at a glance, and makes the pages narrower and shorter without the inline comments and commented out lines/clutter. 2) Less overhead/code to process when generating the page (the impact of the extra processing required so little as to not make any real difference, but wanted to mention this.)

What do you propose the value is of leaving the parameters in if there is no intent on ever moving to the dpl extension that uses that parameter? &rArr; Joenuts (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:58, October 5, 2020 (EDT)
 * I haven't had the opportunity to see if there is a suitable replacement for the dplcache feature. I noticed there seems to be a   parameter that may serve to replace dplcache with an appropriate time frame to override how often the cache is refreshed.  We've also had some interactive talk with  himself on this transition on our  server.  Feel free to pop in and check it out.  If it turns out there is nothing to be done with the dplcache parameter, I can run through with DDO:AWB and remove them in a matter of minutes later.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 07:48, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * I don't know what's going on, but I've just noticed something weird, and whatever is happening here is the only thing I can guess might be the cause. Before, monster DPL tables were organized by color first, then alphabetically (That is, all purples listed first in alphabetical, then reds listed in alphabetical, then oranges listed in alphabetical, then finally all others). Suddenly, every monster DPL table is by default listed -strictly- alphabetically, with no regards to color at all. I really really DO NOT LIKE this and very much want the monster DPL tables to be by-default listed by color first again. Can this be done? &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 10:55, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * I have noticed this problem as soon I fixed the issue with the dplcache parameter in T:Monsters in quest. Also, the color ordering is not the only issue present. These tables are not respecting the 100% width anymore since the DPL update. &rArr; MrLizard (Contribs • Message • Email ) 11:06, October 6, 2020 (EDT)

 * Looks like I have the width issue solved - it just needed a space in there. As far as the default tablesortcol sorting - still no idea BUT at least manual sorting works when you click the headers by column.  /shrug  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message<span class="emailLink emailTechnical_13">&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 12:54, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * Yeah, the "default" sorting is still the disorganized non-color sort, so I hope that can be fixed eventually. But another issue I've discovered; while it is possible to get things to sort back into color by clicking the header on the table, this puts them into a -backwards- sort; that is to say, when they are sorted properly by color with colors at the top, going purple-red-orange-rest, they are sub-sorted by REVERSE alphabetical order, and when sorted in proper alphabetical order, they are sorted in -reverse- color (rest-orange-red-purple). It's not possible to get them properly sorted into the form "sort by colors at the top, then sub-sort by ascending alphabetical order" that is the desired standard. &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 13:05, October 6, 2020 (EDT)

 * ...and I have just noticed another, -far bigger- problem. Beneath the DPL tables, there is no longer the option to force-refresh the table. That is a feature that i CRUCIALLY RELY ON when I am running through quests and adding missing CRs to mobs, and I refresh the DPL table once at the end of the run (I never over-used it, as per the warning message that came with it) to verify that I actually got everything and that it is properly visible. I don't know where it went, but this feature must also return, please. &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:38, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * That's related to there no longer being a  parameter and there's nothing we can do about it at this time.
