Quest template and welcome![edit]

Hi there Erken. I've updated the template, let me know what you think of it. I think the Base favor is the best, if you have any other idea let me know.

I'd also like to welcome you to the wiki, if you have any questions or problems, don't be shy and ask me. It'll be a pleasure to help you. I'll answer as fast as possible. :) Borror0 18:41, August 23, 2007 (EDT)


Well, I may be a bit stupid here, but I got access to the template previously by copy / paste from a page that already had one in it. Is there a place I can go to find all the defines templates that are available so that I can make use of them? → Erken 19:41, August 23, 2007 (EDT)

To answer your question about the MissionInfoBox, you have to type what was within three { like this {{{name}}} followed by a equal like this |name=Invaders!. Doing so will replace the {{{name}}} on the template by what was written after the equal.

In the case of {{{base favor}}}, I added a vertical bar after the word favor so that the wiki would display a blank space if no information was entered instead of showing the so good-looking {{{base favor}}}. Borror0 07:39, August 24, 2007 (EDT)

I tried using the version base favor, but was unable to get the favor to actually show using various combinations. Thats when I went and changed the template to get it to work. Its good to know what the vertical bar is for (in most cases). Aha, thats how you show the special characters! {{{base favor|}}} didnt seem to work.→ Erken 07:57, August 24, 2007 (EDT)

I'll take a wild guess and say that {{{base favor|}}} because there was a space. Maybe Elliott will tell us the real reason, but anyway, the important part is that now the template works! ;)→ Borror0 10:16, August 24, 2007 (EDT)


I'm slightly confused. As usual. What's the question, specifically? elliottcable (talk, site) 00:34, August 27, 2007 (EDT)
Why did {{{base favor|}}} didn't work?→ Borror0 07:04, August 27, 2007 (EDT)
What do you mean, didn't work? What exactly were you expecting it to do, where were you expecting it to do so? elliottcable (talk, site) 22:23, August 29, 2007 (EDT)
Ok, I put it on the template, and when Erken tried to add |base favor=, it didn't work. Borror0 22:52, August 29, 2007 (EDT)
Ok, I'll take a look, please link the page in question. elliottcable (talk, site) 17:21, September 2, 2007 (EDT)
Well it's fixed now, we changed it and it's working, we were simply curious. You'll have to check the history.
