Templates
Hi Keiji, great pages, when do you get time to play? I finished the example of a formatted template and now I am going to do the section on math templates. Maybe you could figure how to translate the GW skill code into the build or maybe someone has already made a template for that, I don't know. I personally understood your layout of the NPC build better than what TEF had in the sandbox. If you have questions, I will try to answer them or just just look puzzled and sigh. Hope to meet you online. --Wendy Black 06:50, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Wendy: Thanks for accepting my request. I live in Japan (GMT+9), usually I arrive home a little after my 5pm. But now I am taking some time off work life and taking a long break so I am 24/7 at home. Just add me in your friend list under Yoshida Keiji.
- Regarding the template, the skills work better for me if you have to type the names rather a code, because it is intented for others to use and not just myself so the easier to understand the better. I still need to learn how can I fix the column and line sizes plus adding background color to headers and how can I make the text be center aligned. I will be studying your doing so I can learn more. At a first sight now I know the wikicode use of this symbol (!), also can see that {{{}}} are the boxes where the oranges will go after the (|). I don't understand what < includeonly > < /includeonly > is for. I guess < br > is used to separate...and now..the biggest challenge for me is the part of weapon upgrade components and rune/insignias. I am wandering if such things could be pre-valued so that users can go type the name in the template so it appears later...rather searching for image files. For example a user typing rune of vitae will later pop-up the icon image which would ease the usage rather having to search for the corresponding file instead. The same would go for mode for example, instead of searching files I would prefer users to either type attack, guard or avoid and then the icon appears itself.

- The includeonly tag is saying that this is the only part of the code used in the template and anything found between is not shown on the template page. A real easy way to format text is using the "span style" tag;
Large Centered
- <span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-size:1.25em; color:black;">Large Centered</span>
- Also, I just keep playing with values until I can tell what has changed. Look at other peoples work, Dervish of Ascalon has made his own character table in his sandbox. He said he used Open Office on his talk page it is like using HTML. I doubt you can get the images to text on such a large scale. There is a lot wiki can do but I don't think a searchable image database is one of them. Anyone wanting to edit the wiki is going to have to learn something. --Wendy Black 11:06, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Howdy Keiji - I just wanted to show you some code based on Wendy's table. It is a character sheet like she made but all the data is at the top. No template required and all in one page. You can see it on my talk page. --Jabhacksoul 02:27, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Wendy, do you have a list of all wiki available options for the "span style" tag for text formatting? Yoshida Keiji talk 11:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
images moves
Your movement of the wallow image was incorrect, and when you do move images, change all the links to that file too.  Chieftain Alex 18:51, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have just realised it was a generic image and I am having trouble to undo/revert the move. I was moving Brutus when you messaged me... so that one too. Yoshida Keiji talk 19:15, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Quoting revisions
If you're going to quote revisions, don't make it appear as if those users actually posted that on the talk page. Link to the revision instead of their user page; e.g. 91.62.54.158 at 10:43, 2009 May 24. --Silver Edge 01:12, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- I was actually about to ask particularly you about that. I have seen you doing it before (and tried to replicate in several occassions) but in the edit summaries and there was no way for me to find out how you were linking. You have been faster to message me than myself to you for a matter of few hours. Now that I have a clear example I know how to do it. I was guessing you were just copy pasting between "[[ ]]", but in fact the procedure is if I understand correctly to:
- First step: Copy the entire URL from the browser,
- Second step: Copy the user IP/name + timestamp (from the history page?),
- Third step: Include in a link.

Spell check
Does your web browser have spell check? Cause your overhaul edits usually come with several typos. --Silver Edge 03:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- My Internet Explorer has none. Any recommendations for Windows XP? Yoshida Keiji talk 04:03, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- I wouldn't know any since I stopped using Internet Explorer a long time ago. I use Firefox, which comes with spell checker. Safari also comes with a spell checker. --Silver Edge 04:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- I concentrate a lot when overhauling, if a page is less than 5.000 bytes I probably won't leave much typos. But with overbloated pages above 15.000 bytes, all messed up and untouched for months, it's gonna be inevitable since I pay more attention to:
- General contents overlook,
- Guidance,
- Descriptions,
- Tactics,
- Suggestions...
- Double-checking links,
- Noob's input,
- Reducing redundancy,
- Taking out crap information, etc.
- Typos unfortunatly is the last thing I worry about, considering all the efforts above had certainly already taken me like an 1h. I preview like five (5) times before submitting... by that time, if I miss anything... it's gonna be the moment to remember wiki is a community effort (^_^). Yoshida Keiji talk 05:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- I could understand your reluctance if spell checking was difficult, but it's really easy. For example: Speckie. Typos are important even if other considerations are worth more time and energy.
- Also, it's important that each of us takes responsibility for copy-editing our own contributions because this is a community effort. It's a bit like not picking up your dishes in a youth hostel because everyone staying there is supposed to help keep things clean. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 05:29, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- YAY!!! (^_^) SPECKIE INSTALLED!!! Works nice, now I will have to get used to see a shower of red underlines for each new word I type. Thank you TEF and good to see you around again. Yoshida Keiji talk 06:00, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Super! Glad it's working for you. (And yeah, the redlinks get annoying, especially when there's all this game jargon, like Asura, Norn, and so forth.) I'm sure you'll get used to it in no time at all.
- Thanks for the "wb." I needed a break from a certain type of clean-up/bookkeeping on this wiki. Also thanks for trying to keep up with the skill histories — that's among the more thankless of thankless tasks around here. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 06:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Skill history pages
Thanks for your work on the skill history pages, but please remember that when you add a {{Skill infobox}} to a skill history page, the categorize = n parameter has to be included in the infobox to prevent that skill history page from being categorized and messing up the skill tables throughout the wiki. For example, Forceful Blow/Skill history is appearing on List of warrior skills, Hammer Mastery, Hammer attack, etc., because you used {{Skill infobox}} on a skill history page without the categorize = n parameter. --Silver Edge 07:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's exactly what I wanted to say him :) The problem was with Web of Disruption (PvP)/Skill history, in particular. Luckily, the amount of such skills isn't high in new update, and this can be fixed easily. --Slavic 08:48, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
