I deal with mostly wiki and occasional forum issues.
-Stares in awe-
CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]
- I got bored... I'm really just waiting for Extension:Parserfunctions before I do many more content edits and I didn't want to take much time to do maps today.

Help with User Page
Questions
1.) I must be dense because I have forgotten how to align an image in the Wiki. If you take a look at this template Template:DavidAHare/Template/DAH1 I have 3 images in it. The top image is like it is supposed to be. The 2nd image in the template shows where it is supposed to be but on my user pages it shows in the middle. The 3rd image should be aligned to the right but I can not get it to go there and on my user page it shows in the middle also. I have tried using the... [removed page breaking code] ...and variantions of this code to no avail.
2.) I am trying to make a signature for someone in my guild and I thought something could not be done until I looked at http://wiki.fallensword.com/index.php/User:PumaDiAce signature that is on your talk page. I thought you could not upload anything to the wiki. If it is possible to build an image for the signature what are the requirements for that?
I will be looking at the tutorial pages to see if I can find what I need.

- I fixed Template:DavidAHare/Template/DAH1 for you by putting it all into a table with exact widths for the cells. As for your sig, I don't recommend using images, but hey, it's your sig so customize it to your liking (as long as it doesn't become obtrusive since this isn't a forum).
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM
The person who I am trying to make a signature for would like something like what User:PumaDiAce has on your talk page below. I was assuming he did that as an image file then uploaded it to the wiki and I thought that we could not upload image files.
- You can upload images, just use the 'Upload File' link to the side. It's the uploading of game images that I discourage... it's much better just to link straight to them.

Questions
Can you take a look at this page User:DavidAHare/Armory and see where I have missed some code. I need a second pair of eyes. I am 90% sure I did not miss any code because I copied the code from 1 of my other pages that has the same layout rormat. backpack1 and backpack2 is supposed to be side by side. Since the original page was getting long I decided to split it up a little. I would also like to apologize for not being able to get back to the Runes and finish them. Do 2 of the Guild Founders being in school and the 3rd one gets on when he can I need to be there for any of the Guild members that needed my help. I have been though updating the Quest formats to the new format when I come accross any Quests using an old format. Thank you for the help you have given me. I also understand if you can not look at it right now since you are changing pages to the new formats.

Information
I have the 5 recipes for the new epic Item and am wondering if you need the information or where I can find the templates to input the information my self.

Quest Item Template
I am going to use the Quest Item template but I think you need to add Used in Recipe(s) to the template.

Questions
How can you tell if an item is Bounded?
DavidAHare,Talk • Message • PM 00:18, 6 October 2008 (BST)
- Bound Items say "Bound (Non-Tradable)" on them.
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM- Thank You I was not sure about that.
DavidAHare,Talk • Message • PM 00:32, 6 October 2008 (BST)
- Thank You I was not sure about that.
Question
Should I use the Resource Template for the Purplet Flower that you get in the special section of the AH?
DavidAHare,Talk • Message • PM
- Yes, that's what it's there for! Use the |won=Auction House (Special) parameter.
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM- I was not sure because I did not see any parameter for the AH. Thanks for the info.

Question
Could you look at Template {{DAH Borrowed}} and tell me how hard it would be to the following additions.
1 Make my information the primary information in the template.
2 Make the just the items that have information added to the variables show up.
3 Make a list in the template variables of the members of the guild and their profile number and then make a number that would correspond to a specific member. For example I will use my information Name DavidAHare Profile Id Number 1650921 so my profile name would be 1 and my profile Id number would be 1A and then the next member would be 2 and 2A and so on.

- It can be done with Extention:ParserFunctions. However, it's a very steep learning curve. The two basic ones you need are:
{{#if: <condition string> | <code if true> | <code if false> }}
{{#ifeq: <text 1> | <text 2> | <code if equal> | <code if not equal> }}
- As for the name/id part, that would use a switch:
{{#switch: <comparison value>
| <value1> = <result1>
| <value2> = <result2>
| ...
| #default = <default result>
}}
Min MAX Crafted statistics
Hello, I don't think this is a good idea for 2 reasons. First, the pages code is becoming too complex and second, the quality label of a craft is related to the total gain compared to the uncrafted item. So basicaly, for most items with multiple crafted statistics, the minimum value for any stat is the bas euncrafted value for up to average or good items. I think it is better to give a "typical" value (and warn than actual values may vary...). Well, just my own .02€.
-Phoxtrot 22:10, 16 September 2008 (BST)
- This isn't too bad an idea, but keep in mind that the values are there to have a more accurate result.
CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]
- It's mostly the way it is to show the available range of values for that specific level of crafting. If we tied it to a specific value, then someone would have to sit down and calculate an average, something which is hard to do without a very large sampling. I have considered adding a calculator that does that into the template, but then again, it's still reliant on the min and max available values for each stat in that crafting level. As for the page's code, it's complex inside Template:Item, but since the template is working, it's easier for people to contribute since they only have to fill in the blanks.

Template:StatBox
As i have seen, you made some changes to that Template. First i have noticed that you included some new parameters and functions and second i noticed that you also integrated a link for the image as i wanted to have it :-)
But you should take a look at your profile-page now. It's a bit messed up.
But my original reason for disturbing your work of changing all Item pages is:
Can you change the Template in a way that the hidden table will be in front of the next image which is for example next to it but behind the hidden table of the item next to it? Because i wanted to have it the way it is now too, but i had some problems with putting items side by side. If i would do so and the hidden table is that wide as yours is now, it would be behind the second image. So it's kind of difficult to see the informations... Thats why i made my Template only with one column.
Perhaps there is a way i haven't thought of.
(If you need an example of the described problem, take a look at The_white_dragon#Guild_Tagged_Super_Elite_Sets and try to use your Template StatBox instead of The White Dragon ItemBox2.)
- I know the problem with the new statbox and a fix is almost completed. As for the hidden table showing up behind other items on the page, that is something that cannot be fixed. It seems the wiki software ignores if you put any z-index into the css so I can't do anything about it, partially why I have everything on my combat sets page lined up vertically on the left side. It also means Template:StatBox cannot be integrated into any of the inventory/backpack templates.
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM
- yes, i wanted to use z-index too, but it didn't work the way i wanted. thats why i asked...
- but i have an other request: can you add some parameters for the set stats? then it really looks the way it does in fs.
- That is on top the To-Do list for that template, but that's near the bottom of my wiki priority list... Feel free to add that in yourself. You'd need to add the parameter to Template:StatBoxStat and then pass it to there from another parameter in Template:StatBox. I was going to eventually add in all kinds of style formatting for the whole thing, but it's complicated and with the limited functionality with not being able to use the z-index, it probably isn't worth adding in too many goodies that won't be used very much (unlike Template:EnhancementBar).

Voodoo Zombie Rogue
Hey Belgrave. Yes I verified that the in game spelling of the creature is now Voodoo Zombie Rogue, not Voodoo Zombie Rouge.
Moving Pages
I noticed that some of the guild's pages (The Hunted Cow Tippers) have been moved to Guild:Page. Great job! However, I think you missed one

- That was actually the first one I moved and I only noticed them since you edited it! The hard part is moving all the guild pages that I don't know about.
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM
Ah, ok then. I can see why it would be hard to find guild pages to move. Good thing I edited it then :P -Sinho6 02:53, 25 October 2008 (BST)
