Bot "patch fix"
I disagree with what you've done with your bot with changing a patch of LU55 to Sentinel's Fate. This is not a valid blanket change. Sentinel's Fate is an expansion patch and is only available to those that own said expansion. LU55 patch items are available to anyone who owns the previous content at the time of the patch. Furthermore, precedence here at EQ2i is to have separate categories. Take Category:Rise of Kunark and Category:LU40. It's not the best example, but it does clearly show that the two things are quite different. Furthermore, it's best to discuss large blanket changes like this before running them to avoid situations like this. --lordebon 18:38, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * go for it, but please move the huge table toan own article with /Summary -- 14:51, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand that such a ninja change with my bot isn't the best way, but i made it in the last expansion(s) (manualy) too :/
 * The point of the update for me isn't the fact that you need the expansion to get these quests but the fact that those changes came with the release of the expansion aka LU55.
 * In order to get those quests, POI's, nameds and so you need the Expansion the zones got released and not the current expansion yeah but it was a change with the release of the expansion.
 * An option would be that all quests are LU55, since they got added with that liveupdate, but to get those quests you need the expansion to travel to the new zones, but it would be a little confusing i think.
 * -- 19:08, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn't confusing to me in the past. A patch of LUxx means that it was released as a 'free' update to existing content. A patch with an expansion name means that the content was added in an expansion launch. Thus stuff that was added to TT was LU55 but stuff in SF was Sentinel's Fate. Should we start a forum topic on this to see what we should do going forward? I don't think there ever was an official policy on it, but the whole RoK vs LUxx thing just seemed to be SOP to me. --lordebon 22:30, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think your suggestion regarding LU55 vs TT makes sense, Lordebon. AndonSage 00:37, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I have started to write down a forum post about it, but there many things i try to consider. I will add a link as soon as i started it. -- 12:55, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Prestige AA
Hi, looking through all the AA stuff i found that we miss all the new and shiny Prestige AA (Crafter stuff is missing as well i think). As you did the Heroic stuff so nicely and i think i cant do it, would you maybe take a look at it and take care of the basic setup?--Xinturaia (talk) 13:05, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's on my todo list, i want to add the focus effects too that you can pick every 9 levels. i started some time ago with Coercer AAs and i think i gonna add the prestige there too since you can see it ingame in the nearly same way. -- 12:51, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * sounds great, thx for the effort. if you need any help with screenshots or else, just let me know. but i need detailed instructions ;) --Xinturaia (talk) 08:38, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Ornate Crate of Goods
Hi Chillispike!

I finally have over 500 crit chance and was able to pick this up yesterday. I just noticed this stub page (Ornate Crate of Goods) and realized why you made the rename edit on my wikify page. I didn't have time to mess with it since the group was on a short break.

It appears that there are eight zones listed on the stub page with a potential of four drop types (chain, leather, etc) per zone. That's 32 *Ornate Crate of Goods* that would require a zone and type identifier. I'll be happy to refine the stub page if we can come to a consensus on the naming nomenclature.

Do we have to put this up for a vote or how does it work? The way it appears to me, there are two logical ways to name them:


 * 1) By zone + by type = Ornate Crate of Goods (Nexus Core - Chain)
 * 2) By type + by zone = Ornate Crate of Goods (Chain - Nexus Core)

and then set up the stub page either by zone:

Nexus Core:
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Nexus Core - Chain)
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Nexus Core - Leather)
 * etc...

High Keep:  or by type: 
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (High Keep - Chain)
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (High Keep - Leather)
 * etc...

Chain Armor:
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Chain - Nexus Core)
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Chain - High Keep)
 * etc...

Leather Armor:
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Leather - Nexus Core)
 * Ornate Crate of Goods (Leather - High Keep)
 * etc...

How do we proceed? Thanks for your help!! 15:48, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * first of all my intention was to make it pop up somehow and i figured that's a good way to don't mess it up to much
 * If i would be looking after it then i would rather look be type then by Zone
 * considerung that the Crate of Goods com also from Heroic instance and are Arcane or Potent then it makes it even harder to name them Correctly
 * I'll try to take a look at the NPC for normal Quests since you can see the name of the Crate there too. as far as i remember the name was something like "Crate of Goods (Cloth)" or so
 * So maybe we should even think of "Ornate Crate of Goods (Leather) - High Keep Solo" and "Ornate Crate of Goods (Leather) - High Keep"
 * I would try to take a look at the Heroic ones and define a naming pattern there, so it's easier to find a Naming Pattern for the solo ones.
 * the good thing is that the DD rewards the same as the normal Mission for the zone
 * -- 15:58, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Since I'm pretty new to, and unfamiliar with, the Vesspyr Isle zone and instances, I'll defer to your judgement. I like the lead stub page since it can serve as a central location for those crates and all their iterations. I was also unaware of the arcane and potent varieties. That puts a third layer of complexity to the naming.


 * From my perspective I was going to say that the *obtain* field could be used to distinguish between the solo and heroic instances but that would only be valid if the crates included the same equipment. Are the stats and equipment different between instances?


 * Do you happen to have a list of the crates, their zones and the itemlinks? If so I could start studying them and assisting in getting this lined out. 16:29, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes there is a difference, you can only get Cryptic gear from solo instance (T1), Arcane Gear from the Group Instances within Vesspyr Islands and Potent Gear from the Temple of Veeshan Group Instances.
 * The crates from the Group Instances are "rather easy" to get looked over, because they don't drop from the last named there you need to pick up a Quest for it at Falinpool, the npc that looks like a wyvern has the normal quests and you can see all the crates each zone there.
 * I'll try to get a list together, but may takes 3 days till i find the time to do it
 * -- 16:35, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks much! No worries about time, take ALL you need! I'm currently working on a bunch of RfG and replacement recipe books and each one is taking quite some time with the associated research... I also have plenty to keep me busy for the foreseeable future in the redlinks! Thanks for the info and assistance. Have a great day! 18:43, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm... I went to Falinpol today and picked up quests from Onerind Fe'Dhar (Wyvern - Dungeon missions), Anex (Drakota - Daily missions) and Veehzz the Bloodwing (Droag - Weekly missions) and the only rewards I see are Draconic Etyma. Where can I see the crates as reward items?

EDIT - Sorry! I just found them. I'll start getting a list put together. 18:02, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Armor Crates
Hi Chilli!

I went through the quest givers in Falinpol and found that the quest reward crates are all named Crate of Xxxx Armor (where Xxxx = Chain, Cloth, Leather and Plate). See the list at User:Paceyourself/Sandbox2. The *arcane* and *potent* specifiers aren't named on the actual crate - but only indicate the items contained within.

The crate that started this discussion is an Ornate Crate of Goods which appears to be a drop only item as opposed to being a quest reward...

This is getting confusing. Do you foresee a stub page for the Ornate Crate... drop items and then a separate stub page for the Crate of Xxxx... quest rewards? 19:12, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

EDIT - After looking at the differences between the "Ornate" drops and the "Crate of" quest rewards, it appears that the drop crates contain equipment other than armor (runes, bracelets, rings, etc) and the quest rewards are the armor and weapon items. This may make a difference... 19:19, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Deleting markup text in articles
Hey Chili. A new user, Dmendezthegreat, has been removing markup from tons of monster articles, e.g. A Bloodsaber sentinel. I could've sworn that back a few years ago you asked me not to do that, but I couldn't find the discussion (and I'm not positive it was you and not Lordebon). Also it seems to me like the last time I gave Dmendez advice he was offended, and he wouldn't be the first editor who didn't like advice from a non-admin. So I thought I'd just point you to it and let you deal with it. Jeff (talk·stalk) 07:43, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yup you are right about that .. the comments should stay to help editors figuring what should be where. I'll leave him a note -- 09:14, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

monster's additional info
Hey Chillispike, Is there a preferred way to order a monster's additional info? For example: A Sabertooth neophyte has '==Notes==', '==Related Quests==', and '==Factions=='. Which heading should go first, second, etc...? Thanks in advance. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 07:58, January 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * hmm good question, i would say not really. ain thing kinda is that the monster template is on top, holiday template at the bottum and the other things between.
 * -- 08:05, January 22, 2018 (UTC)

Antonica Timeline
Hey Chillispike,

Is there a way to remove the old Antonica Timeline Table of Contents with the auto-generated one? The old ToC is really outdated and doesn't display most of the quests involved in the timeline. The auto-generated ToC would show all the information in an easy-to-read fashion. Thanks in advance. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 11:00, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed the Tlinformation and the Antonica Timeline.
 * There is now a parameter called "hidetemplate", that hides the Timeline Template.
 * I'll add a category for that as well to keep track of it.

 * -- 23:19, January 24, 2018 (UTC)

Monster/Named and factions
Hey Chillispike, is there a way to show a named monster or regular monster's faction allegiance in their information box? Example: Captain Duranas - I would like to show that this named belongs to The Great Herd, but I can't figure out the template command (if there is one) to display "The Great Herd" in his information box. Thanks in advance. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 11:51, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * shows that killing him gives bad faction with The Great Herd Faction.
 * That relates nameds/monsters to "that" Faction.
 * Only NPCs have the faction parameter because they are related to one faction.

Ruins of Varsoon Timeline
Hey Chillispike, on Ruins of Varsoon I can't seem to link The Ruins of Varsoon Timeline under the 'timeline' parameter. In fact, irregardless of what I put there, Ruins of Varsoon Timeline appears when the edit is published - even though there is no page by that name and Ruins of Varsoon Timeline only links to Ruins of Varsoon. Is there a way to change this? Thanks in advance. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 12:08, January 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed the redirect of Ruins of Varsoon Timeline to the timeline instead of the zone
 * I guess the Zone is actually called The Ruins of Varsoon right ? In that case, please place the on top of Ruins of Varsoon. --  13:33, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Hey Chillispike, I accidentally renamed the zone 'Decrepit Crypt' to it's actual name A decrepit crypt. If it makes any issues I apologize. The former page was pretty undeveloped and I just absentmindedly changed the name as I was editing it. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 20:55, February 13, 2018 (UTC)
 * ok, np i sort it out. -- 13:15, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Mobs which award AA that begin with 'A' or 'An'
Mobs such as A T'Rethir thinblood Fanatic, and An Untamed Soul aren't named in the classic sense, but they often use capitalization in their name and often award AA. Should they be classified as Named Monsters or Monsters that award AA (i.e. Template:Monster and then Category:Monsters that award AA added manually)? Thanks in advance. Dmendezthegreat (talk) 19:37, March 2, 2018 (UTC)
 * Named mobs allways drop loot, i guess those ones don't drop loot. In that case add the category for AA manualy. -- 19:51, March 3, 2018 (UTC)

An update for the ObtainRecipe template
Hi! The "Advanced (Craftsman/Outfitter/Scholar) Volume" 10-19 sell for at Commissioner Varla Z'Velran. Ejep520 (talk) 22:02, May 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info, Template:ObtainRecipe got updated. -- 08:04, May 22, 2018 (UTC)

Chillibot correction!
The items made via Advanced Weaponsmith Volume 79 (Heirloom) are all saying their made with "Advanced Weaponsmith Volume 79 (Hierloom)" instead. I haven't seen this yet on any other tradeskill recipe scrolls. Nevermind. I'm finding this misspelling all over the place, mostly propagated by Chillibot. Example: Blessed Hidebound Fistwraps obtain info Ejep520 (talk) 18:59, May 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh .. ooooh upsi, yeah there are quite some with the typo :/ fix incomming. -- 20:12, May 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * Might want to check your homepage. The misspelling seems to have seeped into there too.
 * Ejep520 (talk) 20:16, May 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * The homepage has access to my database to i use to generate the articles.
 * Misspelling of "Hierloom" got fixed for all items that used it => if you search for "%Hierloom%" you wouldn't find any now.
 * I'll update the articles soon.
 * -- 20:41, May 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * ~120 articles renamed from Hierloom to Heirloom, will take care of the rest with the bot. -- 21:20, May 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * All related items (~2600) got updated/uploaded. -- 20:30, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Another typo
In light of the LU106 changes, I imagine the last thing you want is more work, but I did find another typo. Your homepage, when it finds attuneable items, is spelling it attunable in the flags. I haven't looked to see if ChilliBot is spreading this typo, but depending on how intertwined the two are, it may be worth a peek. Take care and keep having fun! -- Ejep520 (talk) 15:49, May 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * Chillibot is using the same source as my homepage does.
 * Cloak of the Onayan Battle Mage (attunable lore) for example you mean?
 * Ok the flag says "attunable" in the census and on eq2.wire as well. Ok ingame it says: attuneable
 * I guess Attuneable on the us servers as well..
 * oh well gonna tell e2wire as well then :)
 * This prolly effects as many items as got changed with LU106 (~ 75% of the 220k) so i'll fix it with the change of the update.
 * -- 20:32, May 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * Database fixed (Cloak of the Onayan Battle Mage (attuneable lore)), flag parse fixed and told eq2wire
 * -- 20:47, May 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * Let me know if I can make your day any longer. ^.^; Take care and keep having fun. -- Ejep520 (talk) 22:16, May 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * I generated all the articles with the corrected typo .. that where like 160.000 items .. way to many to run the bot really :(
 * So instead i let the template correct the typo. After the update of the items from lu106 (~37700) i'll correct it for new items.
 * Only new items or new update or items get the typo fix, the old ones will stay old. means in the flags they are attunable but show as Attuneable.

Category for items that give experimentation boosts?
While researching info for the article I wrote on Experimentation yesterday, I discovered that there are several things you can do to boost your experimentation stats. This is analogous to gear that boosts tradeskill stats, but experimentation is its own thing and isn't properly a tradeskill.

I'm thinking we need categories for "gear that boosts experimentation", "gear that boosts tradeskills", and "gear that boosts harvesting skills", but I'm not sure how best to structure these, what to call them, or how to set them up. -- (Talk) 17:26, July 13, 2018 (UTC)
 * Category:Equipment that modifies skills has Category:Harvesting Skills (Equipment) and Category:Crafting Skills (Equipment) because they got combined to one.
 * Category:Adorning (Equipment) and Category:Transmuting (Equipment) are there as well but Category:Equipment that modifies tradeskills is the main cat of them.
 * I guess we can move em over or add them to Category:Equipment that modifies skills as well and make a new category called Category:Experimentation (Equipment)

Problem with EQ2TC credit template

Need some image files renamed
Chilli, can you delete the following for me?
 * Earthen_Avatar_(1)_-_Journeyman.png
 * Earthen_Avatar_II_(12)_-_Apprentice.png
 * Earthen_Avatar_III_(24)_-_Apprentice.png
 * Earthen_Avatar_III_(24)_-_Master.png
 * Earthen_Avatar_IV_(38)_-_Apprentice.png
 * Earthen_Avatar_IV_(38)_-_Adept.png

Also, Template:PetGrades needs to handle png as well as jpg, and since all the pet spells now come in Apprentice, Journeyman, Adept, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, and Ancient, it should handle the additional spell qualities as well.

Another issue: In the Earthen Avatar, Fiery Magician, and Aery Hunter spell pages, although I've added the levels up to max tier in the top of the template, the bottom of the spellbox is not reflecting the higher spell levels, and I dunno why.

Thanks! -- (Talk) 18:54, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * deleting the images - done
 * Earthen Avatar line fixed, maxnum 10 was missing
 * nextup Template:PetGrades, png is no problem
 * Question: do they really have a different look at each spell grade? I mean at least up to master, ancient ist prolly a different look.

 * is the look of Adept and Expert equal?
 * is the look of master equal to grandmaster and/or ancient?

outdated information
Hallo, Chillispike. I was looking through the pages for information and came across this outdated information page for Pristine Deklium Band as seen below in the comparison. I'm sure there are many more pages like this that need to be updated.


 * the Recipe name and the resulting can be different. i look into it. -- 13:37, August 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * When you look at Jeweler Essentials Volume 78 you see the recipe name "pristine deklium band" that links to the the crafted version of the item Deklium Band (Crafted)
 * There is also a merchant version of the item deklium band (Version 2)
 * Many items are no longer called Pristine, but some still are.
 * To sort out things like that, a update of the crafting books are needed as well, which is prolly the best source for it.
 * My Program to parse the items uses a database, based on the census information and compiles the informations to articles.
 * The crafted items i follow Recipe book -> Recipe -> Item.
 * Considering the pristine deklium band it simply got renamed to Deklium Band => to solve it, change the article pristine deklium band to a redirect to Deklium Band (Crafted) like:

double item name
Hi Chilli, It's been a while since I last contacted you ... but I have been quite busy here, and now have something that I need assistance with, as I'm not sure of the naming policy: Maladryn
 * There are at least 2 versions of Ritualistic Cazicite Shield I've come across so far. The difference is in the Effects: one casts Silver Conflagration I (I uploaded the exam wndw for this last month), the other casts Illumination I. I have a scrnsht of this 2nd version ready to upload, but we need to decide how to include both versions in the Wikia database.
 * Hi!
 * I just checked my itemdatabase for wiki items which is based on census information.
 * There is just 1 Version of that item called Ritualistic Cazicite Shield known, well according to census.
 * The difference comes from the yellow adorn in the weapon! which is in this case either the Silver Conflagration I or the Illumination I.
 * I think you see the item alone in the examine window when you hover over the icon of the item, or when you use the itemlink of the item without "modifications".
 * \aITEM -792752732 -1468701476 0 0 0 2 -1145919493:Ritualistic Cazicite Shield\/a - the first 2 numbers are the item, the other numbers are the "modifications"
 * \aITEM -792752732 -1468701476:Ritualistic Cazicite Shield\/a - Itemlink without "modifications"
 * "modifications" = Adornments in the item, infused with plat, infused with items or reforged stats
 * -- 18:26, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Chilli, Bah ... I never considered the yellow adorns ... ofc you're right. So really I need to replace that exam wndw with a version minus the yellow adorn, and maybe add a note to say that the item is also available with at least 2 known adorns, etc ... What do you think? --Maladryn (talk) 21:15, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

Well, if you're ok with it ... then that's fine. I just thought I should draw your attention to it. Maladryn (talk) 18:39, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * np to ask me things like that :)
 * If the item is known on census it's defo ok, even if the item "got removed" or is nolonger obtainable.
 * If it's on census then eq2 still knows about it, maybe explains why my bot is adding items that got removed from game or that are no longer obtain able.

2 questions
Chilli, There's a couple of issues I need to take up with you: Maladryn (talk) 18:10, September 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Please take another look at Merinep's Salvation. You've added some altname?? and now it does not look right ...
 * 2) Regarding True North one of the amendments you made involved switching the order of class: I had originally entered AllWarriorCats followed by AllCrusaderCats and all you did was to switch the order?? Why? In my opinion that was a completely pointless exercsie!
 * I was about to post on your talkpage about the 2 changes
 * The "Merinep's Salvation" is actually called " Merinep's Salvation", with a leading blank in the name. When you look for the item without the leading blank on census, it doesn't find any item. the altname with the "_" as prefix is a workaround to create the links to external sites correctly. The "_" was easier for me to use, then to create a parameter for it. A glass of faydark chai for example has a blank at the end, that why it uses the altname.
 * about the True North: primary and secondary items of level 100+ have cyan adorns and not green adorns, it ain't had a itemlink and no iconnum (but the correct icon). that was the reason to update it with the census parsed version.
 * I know that the order of flags and classes is a bit off, but the flags classes are parsed correctly in terms of what should be there. It's just a quite big amount of code needed to sort em correctly. The thing is i added over 150.000 items allready, where the order is "maybe" off :(. I didn't wanted to annoy you with that at all, sorry. For the classes i currently follow the order
 * all classes
 * Fighter -> Priest -> Scout -> Mage
 * Crusader -> Paladin or SK; Warrior -> Guardian or Berserker; and so on
 * Sadly i never found a breakdown of all combinations of classes, that never changes ingame as well. The prolly best approach would be changeing the template to make the sorting of the classes, that way it would be "easier" to adjust when/if it changes ingame or got written in other order in the parameter.
 * The "advantage" of the census parse is to know every item and every item change, based on the census information. (accessable by my homepage, which means everyone could use the preparsed information instead of filling the article out manually)
 * My goal with the bot is to add and update every item known from census to eq2.wikia, that way it would be possible to just link the rewards of the quests. Just the huge amount of items make it time consuming.

 * from what i saw in the preview live chat they have 4 different colors as normal shinies, which depents on the Plane they are in actually. fire = red, water = blue, earth = green and wind = white.
 * Prolly could do em by the plane, like "normal fire", "normal water", "normal earth", "normal wind".
 * So would need a screen shot of a shiny from each plane :/

 * I'll see about getting screenshots at the same size and ratio as the regular yellow shinies, then. I'll post back here when they're available. --[[Image:Sigrdrifa_(sig).png|User:Sigrdrifa|link=User:Sigrdrifa]] (Talk) 20:36, October 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * Today I was able to get a good look at the various zones.
 * Shinies from Detroxxulous, the Plaguelands are yellow-green with a red-purple glow.
 * Shinies from Doomfire, the Burning Lands are a red-orange like fire, rather than the pink-red of the tradeskill shinies.
 * Shinies from Eryslai, the Kingdom of Wind are pale blue.
 * Shinies from Vegarlson, the Earthen Badlands are bright green.
 * I didn't realize until I'd logged out that the yellow shiny pic is a GIF animation, so tomorrow I will get enough screenshots of each to do a similar GIF. --[[Image:Sigrdrifa_(sig).png|User:Sigrdrifa|link=User:Sigrdrifa]] (Talk) 07:14, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * thanks for checking, it is not big problem if the images are not animated gifs. We sill can use a jpg or png to start with and replace it later with a gif. Main part is that pictures are there i think :) -- 14:08, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * Here are the four elements. I still need to go back and get Disease.

 * I have all five new shinies uploaded, as shown above, so if you will let me know when the template is fixed, I can go back in and update the CD shinies to use the right image. --[[Image:Sigrdrifa_(sig).png|User:Sigrdrifa|link=User:Sigrdrifa]] (Talk) 03:11, October 23, 2018 (UTC)

Need Subcategories for Exploration Achievements
We apparently need the Exploration Achievement Template modified, it isn't recognizing the release name as a valid subcategory. I'd think it should see the name there, and create one of those blue message boxes at the top asking you to click the redlink and paste the listed text in, then publish. For ex: Get out of the Kitchen. -- (Talk) 20:35, October 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * works now, i updated Template:NormalizeAchievementSubcat -- 20:49, October 14, 2018 (UTC)

Planar Stones
I'm not sure what to do with Planar Stones (Chaos Descending).



As you can see from the Examine window, the name is "Planar Stones", but there's an identically named item from PoP and I need to disambiguate. Is it okay like this? -- (Talk) 05:19, October 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes of course it's ok to disambig.
 * I would rename Planar Stones to Planar Stones (Planes of Prophecy) and change the Planar Stones to a disambig page. I'll do the same in my database to update related items as well.
 * -- 07:59, October 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * done -- 18:26, October 17, 2018 (UTC)

Problem with AllArtCats
I'm having a problem with, see Kristoph, the Purple Dread. -- (Talk) 05:24, October 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * is the correct call of the template, fixed the mount -- 07:34, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

Need template update for CD beta testing
The template needs the Chaos Descending tag added. I couldn't find the template. -- (Talk) 05:27, October 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Done, and it doesn't matter now if the template get's called with the parameter in upper case "CD" or lower case "cd". -- 07:39, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

Collection Obtain Template Help
The Template:CQuestReward needs to allow aliasing, for instance, I want to use, but here's how it displays:


 * Reward from the collection quest, Fetid Flesh Wristband (Collection).

-- (Talk) 03:38, October 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean, i will change the template "soon".
 * -- 18:24, October 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Done. I updated the Template:CQuestReward and Cloth-Lined Fetid Flesh Wristband now shows as obtain:
 * Reward from the collection quest, Fetid Flesh Wristband.

Problem with primeattri
In the template documentation, I see primattri is supposed to be used for primary attributes. However, it's not showing a value. For example:
 * Cursed Linked Armplates
 * Cursed Cloth Armplates
 * Leather Cursed Armplates
 * Hardened Leather Cursed Armplates
 * Hardened Cursed Armplates
 * Cursed Armplates
 * Scintilating Feathered Chain Mask
 * Scintillating Feathered Cloth Collar
 * Scintillating Feathered Hood
 * Hardened Scintillating Feathered Hood
 * Scintillating Feathered Helm
 * Hardened Scintillating Feathered Helm

What is the correct usage? -- (Talk) 04:29, October 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * I added the "primattri" before the change of the items went live. :/
 * Best use is to use the following rule the template follows: agi over int over wis over str to show Primary Attributes. Reason the Primary Attributes are not shown as such on census
 * so "best" is to use just agi because int, wis and str get ignored anyway by the template then. My bot uses the census info so for example just int but no wis, no str and no agi when it's listed as such there.
 * fixed the Template:EquipInformation to call and show "primattri" correctly.

 * Excellent! That fixed all the collection rewards I listed above. Thank you! --[[Image:Sigrdrifa_(sig).png|User:Sigrdrifa|link=User:Sigrdrifa]] (Talk) 00:12, October 24, 2018 (UTC)

Crossbow Equipment Item
I'm sorry I'm being such a pest. I just created Heavy Crossbow of Unlimited Knowledge. I used the drop-down template for a ranged weapon, and dutifully filled in everything. The wtype has no option for Crossbow, and none of the damage, delay, or range info is showing up unless I put Bow in there. -- (Talk) 02:44, October 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * No Problem :)
 * Use "Aim" as wtype, like Ruby Heartwood Crossbow or others from Aim (Weapon Type)

Some Incorrect Redirects
I've noticed some incorrect redirects for collection rewards that are themselves shinies. For example Club of Slime is the collection piece for the meta-collection, but it redirects to Club of Slime (Collection). I'm not sure how to fix this. -- (Talk) 20:47, October 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed Club of Slime to a disambig page
 * How to edit a redirect article: When you go redirect page like Balanced Synergy (Ancient) you see get redirected to Balanced Synergy below the title you see Redirected from Balanced Synergy (Ancient) -> click on that link you are on the redirect page.
 * Ways that can be done when moving an article:
 * Way1 (the way i do it often)
 * open the article you want to move in 2 tabs of you browser.
 * Move the article in tab1 and create a redirect
 * go to tab2 (where you still see the article before the move) and just click edit or press "e" to and *tada* you edit the redirect page directly
 * Way2
 * open the article you want to move
 * "uncheck" the redirect option then move it
 * the old article is "gone" then and you can recreate it
 * How i can/could/should/would sort it on the long run
 * I can create disambig pages automatically for spells, items, quests, collection and achievements with my bot since i "know" em all.
 * So once i finally managed to add all items and collections with the census information i can start to create/check all the disambig articles that are needed (currently 18.000) and change the redirect to disambig that way.

please add celestial
please add new column/category for celestial as the highest rank is ancient at the moement and it is needed for the ascension spells --
 * Thanks for the info, will do it soon. -- 23:04, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * done -- 20:46, November 5, 2018 (UTC)

Monster Information
if you could add a hp parameter to the monster information template thing so it is similar to the named monster template that would be great and maybe some kind of stats thing to the monster information and named monster templates so we can add more info like strength and potency combat mit etc --
 * hmm ok, can do it as optional parameter for health. The "other" Informations can be handled as "Notes", i could add parameters for various things but i think that is work then use. -- 08:37, November 5, 2018 (UTC)

Chaos Descending Logo for front page
I got a good screenshot of the Beta loading window with the logo for the new expansion. I twiddled with it a little to make it clearer at the same size as our current logo pic.
