• Slap Template:Image (with accurate data) and categories on all files.

While you are doing this please feel free to fix all the atrocious naming that has been done... a "standard" with naming hasn't been decided and I would be glad to adopt here whatever you guys had decided there... if you haven't yet then lets get one! You won't hurt any feelings with making our file system better :)

I'll gladly give naming standards a whirl. Have to give it some thought since we haven't been good with it either. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 19:03, 8 March 2014 (MST)

Merger Status

I'm trying to give things a bit of space while you guys move over. Right now I feel it would be a bit chaotic to work on moving files and having me poke my fingers in them to make slight tweaks here and there. Let me know if you have specific questions. I will let you guys move in whatever you want and then we can sort it out after... this will also give proper credit for the work you guys have done on the other wiki to your user accounts. Violation (talk) 23:24, 7 March 2014 (MST)

Well, a lot of the stuff I'm moving over was Browncoat or Shadow of Light. So hopefully credit isn't an issue cuz then I'm totally stealing it.

But, yeah, I'm mostly focusing on getting the stuff over. Trying to integrate and improve as much as I can but there will be lots of work post move to get everything sorted out properly. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 19:03, 8 March 2014 (MST)

logo

I don't like something about that "better?" one... maybe it's the K not sure... I like our current one better actually. If they're the same then ignore me but it looks different to me.

Yeah they are different. 'k' is definitely causing me the biggest problems. I'll give it another go. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 17:07, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

The last three letters ("iki") still look off to me. I think its because they are brighter/shinier than the others. I modified the contrast and brightness to put them more in line with the others. Let me know if you think this is better.

It looks almost identical to the current one until you put it over a background image. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 14:46, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I think yours has better coloring but the black outline is still there and maybe a bit worse.

Here was my attempt at it Image:New-logo9.png but Baron didn't like how the 'k' looked. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 15:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, the black is semi-transparent, so fades out on the background. Hard to see it on white. I saw your version before, I think its based on the 'k' that I mocked up right after the merger. I wasn't completely satisfied with it, so I can see where he was coming from. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Documentation

Thanks for new documentation - it looks really nice. I added a link to SotAWiki:Items/Recipes into Template:Crafting Box/doc template documentation page, as this was one of the first places I searched through. Hopefully it'll help people following my steps in future. Sky (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Item Types

Can you take a look at this Talk page and see if the pass I noted is something that the bot can do? I'd hate to have to manually edit every page, but I can if its too complex. Thanks! --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

I shall take a look! -- Fenyx4 (talk) 02:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

What do you think about splitting the 'itemtype' parameter into two fields? 'skill' and 'slot' would be my suggestions. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 12:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

We can certainly use two parameters and put them both in the itemtype field. I was trying to mimic what shows in the game, but it really doesn't give us a lot of room for differentiation. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I've done it for all Category:Bladed_Weapons. How is it looking? -- Fenyx4 (talk) 01:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Looks great! Browncoat Jayson (talk) 02:00, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki Upgrade

MediWiki has been updated to 1.35.

• Had to beat my head against some CSS to make the menus look pretty again.
• I fear the Countdown extension is dead. There is another extension that has a similar countdown but doesn't have the finish text.
• Semantic Media wiki was also upgraded. Hopefully it won't have problems. Here is the migration guide.
• The new version of the Vector skin has good mobile support but I haven't enabled it yet. It doesn't always play well all the tables 'n' stuff on the Main Page and other places. And I'm done fighting with CSS for tonight so I'll try enabling the mobile support later.

Let me know if you spot any issues. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 22:56, 9 November 2021 (MST)

There seems to be an issue with property pages, or how they are getting assigned using the query templates. NPCs like Kyle Behrand are throwing a bunch of Warning: "" can not be assigned to a declared number type with value 50. type messages. I think I've tracked those down to the second ASK function in Template:Vendorbox_Query where it assigns the "sell price", but I'm not seeing a blank value that should be throwing the error. I'll dig into the functions a bit, but this one is odd. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 21:43, 10 November 2021 (MST)

I messed with it a bit on my test page linked above and I get that error whenever I do an assignment from an ask query. I tried swapping it to a show and it worked. (Which is amusing since I couldn't get the show queries above it for icon to work.) So maybe if we change Template:Vendorbox_Query to a show instead of an ask it'll work? I'm kinda worried about changing it though. I'm too out of practice on these and don't remember what all the parameters do. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 23:07, 10 November 2021 (MST)

Oh! I removed `|format=list` from my Test page and the error went away! Any idea why that was in there? -- Fenyx4 (talk) 23:10, 10 November 2021 (MST)

I'm not sure, but yes that did seem to fix it. No clue. At least it is something to go on! --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 21:40, 11 November 2021 (MST)

Yay! -- Fenyx4 (talk) 22:29, 11 November 2021 (MST)

My SMW is out of practice but is #show just not working now? Examples User:Fenyx4/Test. It looks like that is causing a lot of lists to not display icons; https://sotawiki.net/sota/Tailoring_Scissors. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 09:41, 10 November 2021 (MST)

It looks like it may not be caching, or maybe the upgrade cleared the cache and it just hasn't run since. I forced an update for a couple icons by editing the pages, then refreshed this one, and the cached icons appear. If they don't show up tomorrow, we can investigate why that is. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 21:43, 10 November 2021 (MST)

I'm flushing the cache and rebuilding all the property data now. It'll probably take a little while. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 23:07, 10 November 2021 (MST)

I finished flushing and rebuilding... And that didn't fix Tailoring_Scissors. But then I did an ?action=purge and that now fixes it! So I have now purged all the pages. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 22:29, 11 November 2021 (MST)
