The item template is not working

--for item Epic Kron'zek's Cruelty (a Scimitar) and all the items after it on https://ddowiki.com/page/Named_epic_items_by_type#Shortsword

• Thanks. It's a template expansion size issue. Simply trimming the calls to the augment template will fix it. I'll do it tonight if no-one beats me to it. Also, please sign your posts with ~~~~ ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email) 11:20, January 1, 2016 (EST)
• ✔ Resolved for now. I trimmed some of the redundant {{Augment}} calls like I said and it fixed it. That page should probably be done with DPL, although I'd probably wait until after I revamp the item template system first. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email) 21:27, January 2, 2016 (EST)

DPL for Druid

• I realize that you're not quite done with this weapons. But once it's done, I wonder if DPL could be used to collect information from all shield types and list non-metallic ones, so that we can replace the table in Druid_equipment#Shields. Obviously Alchemical Shields would be an exception and that's OK, they can be listed separately under crafted items category. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 06:31, July 30, 2015 (EDT)
  • This can be done. I will need a list of materials that Druids can (or can't - whichever is shorter) use. — Zav (T·E·C) 21:52, July 30, 2015 (EDT)
    • I guess we can use the list of materials already listed on the table Druid_equipment#Shields: Bone Crystal Darkwood Densewood Gem Stone Wood --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 01:15, July 31, 2015 (EDT)
• I have added sample queries for shields and armor to my sandbox. I have included Bone, Celestial, Crystal, Darkwood, Densewood, Gem, Spiritcraft, Stone, and Wood items. If I missed any materials, let me know. Allowed orbs can be added to the list of shields or a separate query for allowed or disallowed orbs can be added if desired. I intend to merge quest and chest as I did for weapons. — Zav (T·E·C) 16:05, August 1, 2015 (EDT)

DPL for named items

I will be updating the templates for the DPL queries used on the children of Category:Clothing, Category:Armor, Category:Jewelry, and Category:Shields to combine chest with quest and expand possible use cases. If you have any other desired changes, please let me know. — Zav (T·E·C) 16:31, August 1, 2015 (EDT)

Ghosts of Perdition

There's some category text displayed at the end of the Ghosts of Perdition article. --Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email • Rights • Block • Rename • Check) 07:09, August 22, 2015 (EDT)

• That is caused by the fact that there aren't raw numbers in the |level= and |epic= respectively. The proper way to fix the situation is to merge the epic version pages with the heroic one. So, Ghosts of Perdition (epic) needs to be merged into Ghosts of Perdition, Desecrated Temple of Vol (epic) into Desecrated Temple of Vol, Flesh Maker's Laboratory (epic) into Flesh Maker's Laboratory, and Inferno of the Damned (epic) into Inferno of the Damned. The Archons' Trial is a good example of what it should look like for the few pieces that are actually different (like the loot table). I'm getting ready to head out for the day, but can do these merges tonight if no-one beats me to it.

Font Sizes after MW Upgrade

Anyone else finding the font sizes changed and are now irritatingly mismatched? Here is a screenshot of my default zoom level. The body text under the two checkboxes is the same size, or close to it, that I'm used to. The edit box's text is one zoom tick smaller than before. The sidebar menu also seems to be one tick smaller than before. --Thalone 18:31, November 2, 2015 (EST)

• I did notice that some of the font sizes did look a little smaller with the current update. Not sure if that's the default of the Vector skin in MW 1.23 or not. I would have to ask Xevo direct on that one (not the easiest guy to get in touch with). But in the mean time, I can take a look at adjusting the font size globally. Not sure how large or small of a task that would be given that I would likely have to inline a lot of classes and elements. I'll collab with Shoe on that and get his input on that. -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · B · D · I · P · PM · PP · UM · UR) 21:10, November 2, 2015 (EST)

Need to upload K-00P and L-33B

I went to try and upload an imagefile at K-00P.png, for K-00P, and the system halted me with "It's not possible to upload a file with the name "File:K-00P.png" because it is a very common or uninformative file name. Please go back and choose a better file name.When uploading files to DDO wiki, please use a file name that follows the DDO:Image policy." and "If you have a good reason for uploading a file with this name, or if you receive this message when attempting to upload a new version of an existing file, please let us know at DDO:Administrators' noticeboard. Be sure to specify the exact name of the file you are trying to upload. Thank you." I got an identical error when trying to upload L-33B.png for L-33B. So, followed the link from that error message, and right here is the best place I can guess to put this request. Can I have the ability to upload these files? I mean...I know why it's not allowed, it's given in the examples of good filenames and bad filesnames, but...for these two specific cases, K-00P and L-33B themselves were intentionally given leet-speak names in-game! ⇒ TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email) 13:17, October 14, 2020 (EDT)

• So, uh...it's been a week since I've posted this request...this is supposed to be the way to get the attention of any admin, right? I just need any admin to put an exception into creating the pages specified above so I can upload images... ⇒ TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email) 01:11, October 22, 2020 (EDT)
  • Sorry about the delay. Upload it with a different file name that has more detail and request a rename/move.  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email) 👟 08:08, October 22, 2020 (EDT)

K-00P and L-33B rename

Okay, as detailed above under "requests for page unprotection", I have uploaded images for the monsters K-00P and L-33B, at K-00P (temporary).png and L-33B (temporary).png . Cannot move those pages to their proper names myself, doesn't give anything to "submit a request", so, putting here to please move both imagefiles by just hacking off the temporary at the end, to K-00P.png and L-33B.png respectively. ⇒ TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email) 19:18, October 25, 2020 (EDT)

In development protection

Request protection of In development to semi-protected as it now has a DPL query on the page that shouldn't be messed with. ⇒ DDOstream (Contribs • Message • Email) 10:09, November 20, 2019 (EST)

• Done. ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 13:13, June 14, 2021 (EDT)

The Lost Gatekeepers unprotection

Request unprotect of Rosemary's Ballad. I think the mentioned edit war is history now. Need to complete params (opt XP) ⚒ User:Corgrind (Contribs • Message) ⚒ 22:25, February 9, 2021 (CET) ⚒

• Request unprotect of Heart of the Problem. Is the possible bug still a valid reason for the block ? (Sorry, can't check myself; playing VIP) ⚒ User:Corgrind (Contribs • Message) ⚒ 22:25, February 9, 2021 (CET) ⚒

• • Those pages, plus The Sacred Bounty, are now semi-protected; I'll remove protection entirely in a month or so if no problems arise. (Of course, you're now an admin yourself so you could've edited them anyway, but it needed doing really.) ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 04:06, June 14, 2021 (EDT)

Item tooltips overlap link

Currently item tooltips partially cover the link to an item making them an inconvenience as you will end up clicking on the image instead of the link to the item half the time.

This could be fixed by changing the css for tooltips from

span.has_tooltip:hover span.tooltip {
  display: block;
  left: 13px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 9px;
  width: 200%;
}

to

span.has_tooltip:hover span.tooltip {
  display: block;
  left: 13px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 17px;
  width: 200%;
}

on MediaWiki:Common.css

I.e. change top: 9px; to top: 17px;
