Serbule Town Map?

Hi Notus.. I had an idea earlier that just came to mind.. it may be a fun project? Just throwing it out there in case you like it: for new players I think it would be great on the Serbule page to have a zoomed-in map of exclusively the town. Because the map itself is very innacurate and low res zooming it as a base for placing NPC icons doesn't work well (I tried in Photoshop and it looks terrible). You could do it also in the "Super Nintendo" style ;) that outlines the town walls, buildings, well, fountain,.. and then you could have mainly the NPC icons on there with their names.

This would be just for Serbule Keep which is the first large town for new players, as the other towns/castle are quite small in comparison (as of the alpha). We could have both the zone map, and the town map in a side "infobox" similarly to how we have two images in the infobox of Goblin Dungeon.

TLDR something like a "Serbule Keep map". --Gorgonzola (talk) 09:20, 10 October 2014 (CDT)

I love the idea. I'm finishing up two other maps at the moment, then I'll start on that one. NotesOfNotus (talk) 10:19, 10 October 2014 (CDT)

Sweet :) ps: I also commented on Talk:Council Lands to let you know about the improved quote template. --Gorgonzola (talk) 10:45, 10 October 2014 (CDT)

Request for feedback on the new Level page

Hi Notus, I wonder if you'd be able to make some time to look at a concept page I have made to clarify the levels players will encounter. Since you seems to do a lot of work in the Wiki, I thought I'd ask you. I was thinking of adding this page on the Wiki Mainpage under Basics. While re-reading the page, I notice that my descriptions do not read that well, but since english isnt my first language I have a little trouble ginding the way to polish it up. Kind regards !

Thank you for the help, I appreciate what you've done so far. I will check over the spelling and working later on, but for the moment I'm just going to replace the image of the sword you uploaded. We have a template that lets people add items without needing to use screenshots. I have added a link to the page onto the main page under "Basics." BetaNotus (talk) 13:33, 19 August 2015 (CDT)

Wiki Extensions

You might want to add a few extensions to the wiki to give it more functionality :)
Things that come in mind at first are:

• mw:Extension:Interwiki

  f.e. wikia wiki's referenced in a few templates i added...

• mw:InstantCommons
• mw:SVG

Semantic MediaWiki

Having spend some time on the wiki and noticing some aspects and efforts,
i think it would be a good idea to ask for Semantic MediaWiki v2.4 preferably as that will be the latest.
It will enable the ability to automate a lot of info gathering from other pages, unlike DPL...

• Info on how to install.
• General info on Semantic Web.

Subpages

They need to enable Subpages on the wiki, preferably for all namespaces. --Trimoon (talk) 03:54, 17 April 2016 (CDT)

Extension:Thanks

This extension will give more incentives to editors to contribute to the wiki!
It requires Extension:Echo installed as a prerequisite, which enables notifications.
When both are installed together, we can also make use of {{ping}} to increase cooperation and discussions.
See also Template:Ping on WikiPedia for more info.

Everything looks good so far, I'll add this one to the list. Expecting to see changes made in about two weeks. BetaNotus (talk) 11:53, 21 April 2016 (CDT)

Extension:Scribunto (LUA)

This will enable to create advanced code tobe used by pages and templates on the wiki.

(to automate things not possible, or near imposible, using the simple wiki template code.)

For more info see Wikipedia:Lua

This would maybe even allow to incorporate the functionality used at GorgonEye in a controlled and safe way http://images.wikia.com/templates/images/6/69/Icon_smile.gif

Help Namespace

The Help: namespace seems to have a DATABASE-Error, maybe notify the person in charge to fix that :) --Trimoon (talk) 03:50, 17 April 2016 (CDT)

Most Viewed Pages

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a way to see a larger version of the list shown in the "Most viewed pages" section of the Statistics page. As it is, I've been updating pages at random, but if I could see the pages people visit most often I could update those first. --Medicus (talk) 20:30, 24 June 2016 (CDT)

pssst [Popular Pages] :) Fury (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2016 (CDT)

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. :) --Medicus (talk) 21:36, 24 June 2016 (CDT)
