Template talk:Spell list

Idea: new DPL Template:Spell list
Why: replace existing poorly-maintained pages like Druid spells or Admixture spells.

Visual: get rid of the colors, plain old "wikitable sortable" ftw (that's just my preference). Maybe "wikitable sortable mw-datatable" for wider tables.

Input parameters:
 * It should be possible to specify multiple categories as input (Druid spells + Healing spells = display all druid healing spells)
 * It should be possible to toggle spell level (not necessary on Druid spells, useful on Admixture spells.

Core columns: Icon, Name, School, Description
 * School includes types in parentheses: Conjuration (Healing, Admixture)

Get rid of columns: Components, Metamagics (not useful IMHO, poorly maintained, unreliable data)

Optional column: Spell level. This is actually tricky. Ideally, the table would have columns for all classes/archetypes that have access to the spell

Alternatively, just go with

Is this a good idea? Is it possible? Any volunteers? Is it a problem that right now we have two templates for spells (Spelldescription / Infobox-spell)?

 * I started doing a little here. Yes, it's a problem that we have three templates Spelldescription, SLA, and Infobox-spell that all could be doing the same thing.  We also do not have categorization in place for spells by level - so there's no current way to have it pull only the "alc 2" spells for example.  I haven't started introducing more filters like school or spell type yet, but it's possible.  Looking at Template:Spell list/testcases also shows that it'll be an issue pulling the descriptions because many spells will need to be redone to remove scrolls/potions etc from the description area to make it work and look nice.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 09:26, March 8, 2023 (EST)
 * As mentioned on our, I think for this to work we'll have to first finish merging those three templates (discussion: Template_talk:Infobox-spell), then modify the final template to revise our category structure for spells to include spell level and any other things we may want to filter by. &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 09:39, March 8, 2023 (EST)
