User talk:Havvy

Check out the new TOToM pages

You can find them in their own section on my userpage here. I decided I'll let you and Tark edit them a bit before I upload them.

Funny Clip

Thought you might find this interesting. Would have just sent it to you on IRC, but you aren't there atm, and I'd have forgotten by tomorrow :-P Can delete this when you've clicked the link if you like, or keep it here for reference, either way works. --Ghostwheel 12:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Temporary Admin

You wanted to delete some ununsed page and categories? I've given you admin rights so you can go do that. Gonna have to take them away shortly though (well, I don't have to, but I haven't talked to anyone else about this so I'm going to), so enjoy it while you got it :-). - Tarkisflux 05:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Categories purged. Would be nice to keep the administrator tag, but not really necessary for what I'm doing. In a related note, there are a lot of unused templates. We should look into why they are unused, and get rid of the ones we really aren't using. --Havvy 05:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Every few months I look into the unused templates and get rid of the ones that actually need getting rid of. Surgo 16:00, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

General Feats

Are you sure [General] should be removed from feats? It's a standard descriptor. --DanielDraco 07:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

It's not a useful type on it's own and there are no special rules or references for it. Since it's basically the type that means you don't have any other types and it's added automatically to feats that don't have any others, yeah, there's no reason to set it on feats. I think it's in the preload instructions as well. - Tarkisflux 07:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

As TarkisFlux said. It is assumed that General is the default type if no type is set. Otherwise, if there is a type, it just adds to clutter. And yes, the preload even says not to put General in there.

Siege Subtype

There is a Siege (3.5e Subtype), it just does not show up in the glossary page. --Franken Kesey 20:13, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

We aren't using categories for subtypes. We have a SMW property for it.

User Skill

There is one other user skill called Craft Xeno- (3.5e Skill). Though it is not formating correctly in the glossary. --Franken Kesey 22:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you --Franken Kesey 23:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Winter Cleaning

Hello there! I am sorry to have realized to late what exactly the Winter Cleaning is. So could you please tell me what, apart from being incomplete, the problems were with Domains of Divinity? I did not plan to expand on it, but could a campaign setting with a completeness rating of 2 not have been let standing (indefinitely) until someone came along to expand on it? Or was there another issue with it? Thanks for telling. Daranios 10:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Winter Cleaning is for removing articles that aren't up to the standards in quality or usability. Generally, people don't come around and pick up abandoned campaign settings (proof is in the fact that over the 5 years of paleowiki, dungeons, and this wiki, nobody has yet to adopt an incomplete campaign setting. --Havvy 01:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Sad thing, though. Daranios 15:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

This Is A Note

The Template:Racial Size does not account for races starting with vowels. --Ganteka Future 07:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

This has been dealt with. - Tarkisflux 07:12, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

What's SMW

You have removed the Categories:Book published in... with the comment "SMW Replaces". Could you please tell me what SMW is? How would I go about finding all books from 2003? Does it have something to do with the Semantic Search that has newly appeared on the left-hand side? Thanks for telling. Daranios 16:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

SMW refers to Semantic Media Wiki, and it is the collection of article tags that appear at the bottom of page and functions for them. In this case, you can do {{#ask: [[Publication:+]] [[Publication Date::<Year>]] |format=ul}} and get a lovely automagical list without additional categories on the pages. Since we're working with SMW instead of DPL, we prefer properties over categories (you can output them in tables if you want on top of searching by them, search them for partial matches, and generally do more useful stuff with them), and are replacing straight categories with them where possible. - Tarkisflux 16:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

We will probably do the same with all of the "Books by <Publisher>" cats as well actually, since the Publisher property does the same thing. - Tarkisflux 18:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Some of them have months also, and I'm not sure how that interacts with the ask query, so to be safe, I'd so [[Publication Date::~*<Year<]]. Otherwise, what Tarkisflux said is correct, as usual. --Havvy 19:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Is there/Will there be any how-to-do explanations visible for beginners/people who know nothing about code (which is almost true for me :-)? Daranios 19:03, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Blank Page

What happened to this page since you edited it? And were any of my other pages affected? :-/ --Ghostwheel 08:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

For example, this page was also blanked. --Ghostwheel 08:52, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I put a no-display tag in the author template in a bad place. Surgo removed it already, though I need to put it back in a better place still. Should be fixed already, and shouldn't happen again.- Tarkisflux 18:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thank you for fixing my homebrew signature. I have yet to make any base classes or flaws, but I might someday. Also, do you think it is a bad idea to mix traits with feats on the signature? The Dire Reverend 08:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

To keep it to six boxes, I generally keep like things with like. Once people see the article at hand, they can decide whether they want it or not. I'm pretty sure people aren't looking for 'feats' or 'traits' or whatever in navboxes unless they want a specific feat or trait or whatever in which case they can remember the name when they see it. Everybody else is thinking "This looks cool. *click*".

Also, no problem with the navboxes. Those are easy, especially with the SMW List Query template. --Havvy

Some wiki stuff

Firstly, the cite template doesn't seem to be working properly for anything other than old MoI citations. I figured you'd be the one to mention this to.

Secondly, I've gone through your 'help wanted' stuff and fixed up much of it. Hope you like it!

Lastly, I think that the heading on the Help Wanted section doesn't accurately reflect how it's used - quite often, people (c.f. Ghostwheel) put articles as Help Wanted when they are mechanically complete, and thus, totally fine for the nav. Thus, I propose the heading on that be amended slightly. - MisterSinister 21:30, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I think TarkisFlux saw it and got to it. (Thanks Tark!) --Havvy 01:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

He did. - MisterSinister 02:16, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Missing Link

Am I going nuts? I can't see the links to the preloads to make homebrew. You know, "click here to add your own spell" and somesuch. Where'd they go? -- Eiji-kun 01:25, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Aarnott changed the template; I see the same thing; Please wait one moment. --Havvy 01:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit reverted; --Havvy 01:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

4e

Sure i'll be happy to send you if any 4e stuff is amiss- I just came back on Dnd Wiki after a year of not editing and found we've relocated (again), to a new site- this one! I'm alot happier with it and I hope I can help out with some 4e stuff if I find anything wrongLiosrakia 21:29, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

• the "make a new campaign setting" from 4e_Campaign_Settings page doesn't exist- needs to be created.
• the pages 4e_Ritualsand 4e_Quests have add ritual pages- however, the add/edit button doesn't work properly:instead of trying to make a new page, it always tries to edit a preexisting page: So if I try to make a new page (for instance, Quest1), it'll say:

 Create Form:4e Quest: Quest1(4e Quest)

Error: no form page was found at Form:4e Quest. <b>

Since 4e Rituals was the easiest for me to change at the moment, it has been fixed. I'll get the other two working next time I'm on. --Havvy 07:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
