Beta, I made an npc Template, and converted over mushroom jack.  Should make all npc pages look the same and should we need to make adjustments it'll just be in once place. Could you take a look and let me know what you think? thanks

: Sure. See if you can message me in-game or at the link found on the [[Discord]] page. I like the overall concept, but it does cause a few issues right now. [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 14:11, 31 August 2019 (EDT)
  
== Purging multiple pages ==
+
== Request for Assistance :D ==
Hello.  After some edits yesterday a number of pages seem not to be updating past their cached version (see e.g. [[Mushroom_Jack#Sells]] to see the problem). This applies to edits made to [[Template:Icon]] and [[Template:MOB_infobox]].  I'm looking to purge multiple pages (or the whole wiki) to fix this.  Wanted so see if you had any experience with this before proceeding.  Discussion at [[Template_talk:Icon]].  I've posted on Extractum11's talk page as well.

== Remove Template:Vendor recipe row ==
+
I'm trying to incorporate level requirements into the Dailies page and I wonder if you might be able to help with that? I started putting some info on the talk page here [[Talk:Daily Quests]][[User:Ransel|Ransel]] ([[User talk:Ransel|talk]]) 22:06, 29 June 2021 (EDT)
 
 
I created this template when trying to sort out how to make recipe rows at a vendor show icons and link to the proper pages.  I tested the template on the [[Braigon]] page and was not happy with the result.  With several other changes, Template:Vendor item row now works in this capacity, and produces a satisfactory result.  I've changed the Braigon page to Template:Vendor item row and as such this template is no longer used or needed (and may add confusion).  We need someone with sysop to delete please. Thanks! [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 22:55, 15 March 2017 (CDT)
 
:Since chatted with [[User:Alleryn|Alleryn]] and he suggested use [[Template:Delete]].  Added to page. [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 23:04, 15 March 2017 (CDT)
 
:: Thanks for using [[Template:Delete]]! It throws pages into Category:Candidates for deletion, which notifies me when something is added to it. [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 11:30, 20 March 2017 (CDT)
 
 
 
== Copper Ore  page ==
 
 
 
Hey BetaNotus,  would it be possible for you to rename the current page   Copper ore  to  Copper Ore  ?
 
Thanks :-)  [[User:Jackybah|Jackybah]] ([[User talk:Jackybah|talk]]) 14:15, 18 March 2017 (CDT)

== ItemT changes ==
 
 
 
Please notice icon= syntax for [[Template:ItemT]] is deprecated.  This was dropped when ItemT was converted to use [[Template:Item_icon]]. See docs for details. [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 09:43, 3 May 2017 (CDT)
 
: I have to admit, I completely missed that change (which I really like). Thank you for both implementing it, and pointing it out. [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 18:06, 4 May 2017 (CDT)
 
:: You are welcome.  I'm glad you liked it! [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 13:24, 5 May 2017 (CDT)
 
::: Very handy, is there anything similar for skill icons? I've just been uploading each individually (example: [[File:Item-icon-cloudsight.png|Cloud Sight]] ) but I'm not really up to speed on anything that happened since last June. [[User:Medicus|Medicus]] ([[User talk:Medicus|talk]]) 14:52, 9 July 2017 (CDT)
 
:::: Welcome back. Yes, there is such a thing, at least partially. Check [[Template:Ability_icon]] [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 16:00, 9 July 2017 (CDT)
 
::::: Thank you, works like a charm. [[User:Medicus|Medicus]] ([[User talk:Medicus|talk]]) 20:08, 9 July 2017 (CDT)
 
 
 
== Linking in quest text. ==
 
 
 
I had not been linking, changing case, or correcting any spelling inside quest texts.  My understanding was that we should provide the text from dialogs exactly as provided by the game, without any further manipulation.  Mentioning because I noticed you made such changes recently on [[Find an Amethyst]].  '''Summary''' information is directly from Quest Journal and, of course, the '''Preface''' text is from dialogue with the NPC.  I ask this question because I seem to be the only one adding the quest text to quests. :) [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 09:35, 6 May 2017 (CDT)
 
: Good question. The only reason I made those changes was to improve connections between pages on the wiki. There were a few players in-chat last night that requested improved information on Amethysts, so I added a few links between pages to hopefully alleviate some of their concerns. In my opinion, it would be beneficial for users of the wiki if editors were to link to wiki pages of items, characters, and locations that appear in the Quest '''Summary''' information. To preserve spelling and capitalization, [[Amethyst|things could be linked like this, which would work]]. What is your opinion? [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 11:50, 6 May 2017 (CDT)
 
:: In my opinion, I think linking and even correcting are fine, as long as we stay "faithful" to the intent of the developers.  I am asking the question because I thought I saw somewhere (perhaps in one of the templates?) to quote '''exactly''' as written, and not to attempt to correct.  Final opinion (just a grammatical item), I think technically it should be amethysts and not Amethysts in the text; in those cases use <nowiki>[[Amethyst|amethyst]]</nowiki> (as you suggest).  But opinions aside, I'm happy conforming to whatever standard we choose! [[User:Arindor|Arindor]] ([[User talk:Arindor|talk]]) 12:19, 6 May 2017 (CDT)
 
::: That's good to hear, and I have to agree with you. The "exactly" probably came from the ''Article names'' section of [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting|this page]]. I think I will be updating that section in a day or two, as there is an exception and instance when spelling mistakes should be fixed. That would be when the typo prevents the proper linking of a character/zone/item with a known name. The seemingly important background character of ''Dalvos'' is mistakenly referenced to as ''Davlos'' in some older in-game material. This is leftover from when the character was actually called ''Davlos.'' Citan changed his name back in 2014. There was also at one point an NPC that called the town of [[Sinoca]] by ''Cinoca,'' which was a spelling error that has been fixed.  I'll make this sound nicer tomorrow after I get some sleep and, add it as an exception on the Formatting page.

==Bartering Table==
 
 
 
Hello, quick question. I made a Bartering table for [[Daniel Murderdark|Daniel Murderdark's]] minion, but when I try to add it to his page, I error out (HTTP Error 500/504). I was able to add it to my user page, but again when I tried to add it to [[Bartering]] I errored out. I was otherwise able to edit pages as normal, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong with the table or somewhere else. I was hoping you could check it out. Thanks in advance.

== Synergy Skills ==
 
 
 
Thank you for your input BetaNotus & fixing that link on the front page, it was minor but did bug me :-).  Im all good with the format. Im a noob @ wiki/coding in general, so I found some code I could replicate and went with it.  It is my intention to do all the skills & have all the info laid out based on what is currently available in the wiki.
 
 
 
Is there an in-game chat channel, id be up for joining/contributing anyway possible.
 
 
 
== Redwall became  Rubywall ==
 
 
 
Hey Beta,  would it be possible for you to rename the current pages referring to Redwall crystal ?  (renamed to Rubywall Crystal)  this both in regard to the item itself  and also to the surveying recipes ?
 
If you prefer me to take the current  Redwall info and  make new Rubywall pages I am also fine with that;
 
 
 
Thanks and kind regards !  [[User:Jackybah|Jackybah]] ([[User talk:Jackybah|talk]]) 17:08, 2 August 2017 (CDT)

NPC Templates
