tables > bullets[edit]

i really thnk that tables are better to look at than bullets in a wiki. as we clean up the spells pages, i would suggest doing tables. look at the example on this page. but i think it can be better. look at this example: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_warrior_skills . im envisioning something like that here. im not infringing any copyrights if i use those spell icons, am i? - Sef326 02:54, November 11, 2009 (EST)

Sure, go ahead and put it into a table format. However, you might be able to get away with using a template/dpl to try to pull information from the corresponding page. --JonTheMon 10:20, November 11, 2009 (EST)
Oh, do you have a list of the icons? --JonTheMon 10:26, November 11, 2009 (EST)
i checked, the current spells page is not build so that i can pull info from there. and i dont have a list of the icons, since i didnt see them on the spells articles, i uploaded them instead. ive seen how it is done in other the wiki and its complicated as hell - Sef326 11:01, November 11, 2009 (EST)
You can "steal" the icons from Turbine's DDO Compendium; it's probably one of the few things it is actually good at. As for copyrights, Turbine has never had problem whenever we've used icons in the past (I asked them permission a couple of times) and I would be surprised if they ever would. We're doing them a favor by being a more reliable source of information than they ever could be and we're not using their images for lucrative intent.
As for building a table, go for it. Just be ready to realize how atrocious and incomplete the spell descriptions are! --Borror0 20:12, November 11, 2009 (EST)
yeah glad to know that ^_^. im trying to figure out how to pull info from the actual spell articles and just list them here so as to minimize the redundancy. im also wondering if we already have those icons loaded up or will i need to upload some of them - Sef326 20:43, November 11, 2009 (EST)
It's possible to import full pages into another pages but it's impossible to import parts of pages into another pages. Well, there might be a way (<noinclude></noinclude> tags) but I'm not sure it'll be worthwhile because you'll probably want a shorter description for your table, and it's a hack too. --Borror0 20:53, November 11, 2009 (EST)
