== Purging multiple pages ==
 
−
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 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)

== 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?

:: 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!

::: 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.

== 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;

== Icon to Item Icon ==
 
−
 
−
Due to some conflicts in the old 'icon' template, I would like to update it to the 'Item icon' in the Cooking page, but it seems to be missing the label function. The Recipe table in question is supposed to be more succinct than the Cooking Complete Recipe list, so changing icons templates might not be necessary if I trimmed the list to the low level ones from Fainor.

: Ah, I see. I left the wrong link at some point. 'Item icon' displays just the icons, but is used by the [[Template:Item|Item]] template to properly display icons and names. Does that help? [[User:BetaNotus|BetaNotus]] ([[User talk:BetaNotus|talk]]) 11:08, 26 August 2017 (CDT)

Heya, you're the most recently active person that I've been able to find that seems to have done template work. I'm new to editing the wiki, and one of the things that I've taken on as a task is helping out with gifting and favor in general. I'd like a template for items that upon adding an NPC and favor amount, the NPC would then gain it listed on their page. Is this even possible? Could you help me with it?

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. 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. BetaNotus (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2017 (CDT)
You are welcome. I'm glad you liked it! 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: Cloud Sight ) but I'm not really up to speed on anything that happened since last June. Medicus (talk) 14:52, 9 July 2017 (CDT)
Welcome back. Yes, there is such a thing, at least partially. Check Template:Ability_icon BetaNotus (talk) 16:00, 9 July 2017 (CDT)

New Template Help? - Gifting

Heya, you're the most recently active person that I've been able to find that seems to have done template work. I'm new to editing the wiki, and one of the things that I've taken on as a task is helping out with gifting and favor in general. I'd like a template for items that upon adding an NPC and favor amount, the NPC would then gain it listed on their page. Is this even possible? Could you help me with it? Arisena (talk) 04:50, 8 April 2018 (EDT)arisena

Hello there! What you are asking for is somewhat possible, and a few current editors are working on a solution. If you could reach out to me in-game (same username) or though the Discord, I can explain in greater detail. BetaNotus (talk) 14:46, 8 April 2018 (EDT)
