Know of any good Hell Forge calculating sites we could link to from the items pages similar to how we're linking the items to the auction house?

I'm also thinking of moving the lengthy tables of items and their stats off the item category pages so the categories don't take as long to load and you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom but it would still allow sorting stats on a separate page. Any suggestions for this?

I don't think that hellforge calculator was updated to take into account the latest hellforge changes, but it might be usable to an extent. That idea might have to be put on hold until someone else makes a decently usable one.

I was thinking it might be best to have all of that specific type of item on the page, mostly so people can compare stats, but also because there are a few items which are clearly the best of that type of item for more than 50-60 levels such as the Rune of Decay. It would definitely be a long page, but if sorted by every 10 levels the way it is now, it should be usable. Would we want other related pages such as "Helmet Images"? If so, I think we would do something similar to the item category navigation template but for that specific item type...
Item Category • Sortable Item List • Item Images • Etc.

Also, I was working with the creature images and I think about 15 images per page (3 across, 5 down) would work best. The problem is that the numbers only work to 546 and then they need that long number/letter combo filename and I'm not sure how exactly to go about finding all of those and putting them into easily organized pages. Any suggestions with that?

I'll work on getting those creature images. That site does show the best available items by stats, but it only goes up to lvl 300 and will not be updated anymore. So, I'll put together something for the helmets page and we can see how that works out.

...waiting for you to write a "Best Equipment for Level 166" guide...

Place Boo-ish comments here.

see, now you changed it and it's even weirder, lol.

I will delete the copied parts. If you need help making something the same way I have it, just ASK.

 I WILL NOT DELETE COPIES BECAUSE:

"i will delete", "i wont delete". not to be nitpicky or anything, but that just makes no sense, and as you said beneath, you're effectively putting the page into the public domain on a cc license, which allows copying. i wouldnt want to see things like this popping up on everyones page, it will just start mass edit wars and "waaa, you stole my layout" comments, since you are a very good contributor, if you do it, people will think it's ok.

personally, i'd just remove the threat, besides breaking the cc license you post under, it makes no sense.

not sure how to reply to your comment, but i saw your edit, now it reads much better :) btw, what creature images are you stuck for, if you just need a dump of all the creature images, i can get a hold of it. i also have a dump of all the map tiles and a big database of each map i've been working on for a bot for the irc server. if it can help at all, gimme a shout.

I was actually the one asking about creature images. So far I've put in all the properly numbered images but any since around xmas have been using things like 10588a88bc9ef8dab82 for their file names and I don't know of a good way to catalog those. I also have a page showing the map tilesets ready to put on here, but at the moment it's not my priority. Maps on the area pages are always welcome if properly edited with wikicode. Oh CHiNback, he's right, it does read much better now... Perhaps we should start a 'Free Wiki Code Initiative' or something. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM 

your message

thank you for your message. there are only two things for me to say about it: first i have read that copy notice some weeks ago (at belgraves profile page) and second: i can't see any reason why i should not take any fee for my service...if somebody don't want it, they just don't have to ask me... i only don't want to see my hole page copied or most of its content and read in next line that person offers his/her help with creating wiki pages...it's just that i can't believe those persons really can create wiki pages without copying everything.
