Another thing we need to do is set up redirects on every upgraded page name. For example, Quantum Tower should redirect to Quantum Pillar, Pest to Devourer, etc. This can be done by going to the page with the name of the upgraded card, then editing it to this text:

Code: [Select]
#REDIRECT [[non-upgraded page name]]
This should also be done for things like Schrodinger's cat -> Schrödinger's cat, Maxwells Demon -> Maxwell's Demon. In other words, redirects should be set up to any page with punctuation or unconventional letters.

The new wiki is great. I mean, that's a REAL wiki.  :D

Is that #CardSection some hacked-in parser function? What about using templates for the same purpose? And maybe every card could have a data page like in the old-old wiki so you wouldn't need duplicate data at multiple pages. If you allow me I will do some experimenting as I will have enough time.  ;D

For card pages, would it be acceptable to have auxiliary (wrong word choice) categories? For example, having a category for Shards, one for Creature Control, etc? Or possible individual pages for these? That way if someone asks for a list of all the, say, CC in the game, they can be directed there?

Yep, it's a hacked-in parser function. I didn't use templates because it needed to do some processing - for example, automatic card image generation, automatic filling-in-the-blanks and automatic categorizing.

So you mean that every card would have a template which stores its #CardSection entry? I like that idea, but I wanted to keep things simple to start off with. If you have enough time to help us do that once we've gotten everything ready, that would be awesome.

Again, we'll wait until we've gotten everything ready, but this a good idea.

Small question: is there a way to embed links within images? For example, if I click on the 'Eternity' card image on any main page or subpage, is there a way to redirect that clicking of the image to the actual card image itself? I feel kind of slow with this...

Assuming you're using the card tag to post images, you can simply use the link parameter, as in:

Code: [Select]
<card link="http://elementscommunity.org/images/Cards/Eternity.png">Eternity</card>
Alternatively, if it is a non-card image, you can follow the directions here.

I'm not sure why you'd want to link directly to the image when you click on that same image though. Why not just let everyone right click -> Open Image instead?

Sorry, I meant to say that if I click on say, an image of 'Flooding' in a completely different card article, it would redirect me to the Flooding article instead, but I figured how to do it now looking at the 'Help' page. That being said, thanks, and it totally works now. :)

Looks fixed to me.

That being said, all :time, :darkness, & :aether articles from both BloodShadow's period to mine have completely updated articles (in terms of format, at least). Everything should look spiffy for those card sections, and I've also fixed the links here so that they'll redirect to the new wiki. :)

Likewise, Elements the Game Wiki will have a Featured Card each week.
This one needs fixing too.

I have started to do some templates. Only for experimental purposes for now.

But it seems that parser functions extension is not installed or enabled in the wiki so I cannot use even a simple #if or #switch in a template.

So you mean that every card would have a template which stores its #CardSection entry? I like that idea, but I wanted to keep things simple to start off with. If you have enough time to help us do that once we've gotten everything ready, that would be awesome.

Yes, something like that. :) So if you changed the data page of a card, every referer page would be updated with the up-to-date info.

I can do this job without changing any of the existing articles. I will ask for your opinion when I can show something. I think, I will have further questions until then. :)
