Building the new Wiki

[furballdn]

Alright I can't figure out how to fix this myself since I apparently can't edit this, so...could someone change the bit where the wiki currently says Adrenaline is a Creature, not a Spell?

Done.

My fault (damn copy-paste). In card articles you can see the Edit Data link below the card. Hard to believe but it is good for editing data

Sorry to post something you may have been already told, but why do we still have the old link of the wiki on the game? News players will be better if they go on the new one! (who seems great, I just discovered it)

Because Zanz hasn't changed it yet.

I don't know much about poison stalls such as PD SoSac, so can someone please fill that in?

I see the old deck templates got moved over from wikia. They're so...bulky compared to what we usually use here, but I do like the idea of having the starter decks on the element pages.

Other than that, I want to go crazy with editing. It's been forever since I've worked on a wiki and there's so much we could do with this - it's still a hatchling.

I ... strongly suggest against using that deck template. It's ugly, bulky, inconsistent with the forum, and inelegant compared to our normal deck image builder. The card links are nice, but could be done with the current image builder (if anyone's up for this challenge, go ahead). I made it so that template parameters can be passed into <deck>.

In other news, I do like the little elements strip across the bottom of the element pages.

I agree. The bulkiness reminds me of the other other elements wiki, and it takes up way too much space. The current one we have is pretty nice.

The single image deck is perfect for the forums.

As for the wiki, it depends on the article: I would prefer the interactive deck in reference articles (starter deck in elements pages, false god decks, other AI decks and user-submitted decks). For a beginner, it is impossible to comprehend all of the cards and keep them in one's mind. What a beginner needs is exactly the thing that is offered by the interactive template: to check the function of cards in the deck.

Though, when an article is not about a specific deck (for example, in card articles the possible synergies with other cards), I also prefer single deck images.

I made it so that template parameters can be passed into <deck>.

I'm glad you fixed this bug. Maybe you noticed that originally I made {{Deck}} to support both single image and interactive modes but unfortunately it was impossible to pass any dynamic code to <deck>.

Though I'm not so glad that you "lobotomized the active skills" of my template so quickly  Maybe you should have just started a poll first...

I'm thinking that instead of clicking on each card, perhaps a dynamic list of each card in the deck could be generated underneath the deck image. For example:

• 6x Shard of Readiness
• 6x Supernova

etc. And all card names would be linked to the article. Thoughts?

Would be very neat. I'd approve.

Not a bad idea but it requires more space and you complained about space wasting (think of a rich rainbow deck and its links).

Please note that the "engine" of the interactive deck is ready to use. You can forget the "bulkiness"; all we need to use the small card images to make it conform with the single image version. Since I made it to use the {{Card}} template, using the small images can be achieved easily by a "Small Image" display mode in {{Card Display}}. Is there a simple mapping from card image file name to small card image file name? If so, the task is 95% finished right now.
