The article changes colors based on the definition of the {{{type}}} parameter. The colors are according to the following table:
{| {{prettytable}}
|style="background:#FF9"|Offensive is FF9||style="background:#CF9"|Defensive is CF9||style="background:#9CF"|Utility is 9CF||style="background:#F99"|Attack is F99||style="background:#DDD"|Undefined is DDD
|-

|}
The example to the right is an undefined table.
== Duration ==
The duration fields are easily replaced. If the variable (((duration}}} is defined, it automatically replaces the shown duration fields. This is to ensure backwards compatibility with the old spell template. Additionally, if the variable {{{custdur}}} is defined, it also replaces the shown fields and allows one to use the custom duration templates from the spellbox series of templates. These are [[Template:Spellbox instant]], [[Template:Spellbox block]], and [[Template:Spellbox duration]], although the Spellbox duration template would be exactly the same as the default.

== Types ==
The template changes drastically based on what type is chosen for the template. The preview, to the right, is what the template will look like with no type defined. Undefined, the template will be gray. However, the colors and parameters change when defined, and the type line will vanish so long as it meets one of four types: Attack, Defensive, Offensive, and Utility. It is case sensitive. Any unwanted line can be removed by defining the associated parameter as "None". This is case sensitive.

=== Attack ===
This type changes the template to have a pale red background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Target(s)''', '''Interval''', '''Damage Type''', '''Critical Type''', and '''State(s) Inflicted'''.
*Subtype defines if the attack is a warding, maneuver, or bolt attack, or a combination thereof.
*Target(s) is used to define who is targeted by the attack. Some spells affect everyone (room), everyone not in the group (ungrouped), all critters (creatures), or only a single individual. Some spells are limited in number and will chose targets randomly from an above list. If such is the case, put the list that the spell choses from, and go into more detail in the spell description within the article itself.
*Interval indicates if the spell is one-shot or damage over time. There may be more parameters.
*Damage Type is what sort of damage is inflicted. Usually, this'll be hitpoint damage, but it could be mana damage as well, or others.
**Critical Type line will show if the parameter {{{dtype}}} is defined. This'll list the sort of damage done, if it is elemental, or if it follows some other sort of critical chart, such as the Unbalance critical chart.
*State(s) Inflicted displays the type of status ailment inflicted on the target.

=== Defensive ===
This type changes the template to have a pale green background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Defensive Strength''', '''Target Defense''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability'''.
*Subtypes for defensive spells would define which sort of defensive capabilities the spell offers, such as increases to DS, TD, and skills.
*Defensive Strength should be listed as the type of DS it provides, such as [[melee]] or [[bolt]].
*Target Defense should be labelled by the type of TD it provides, like DS. Options are: Spiritual, Elemental, Mental, and Generic (or All).
*Enhancement would be used for spells such as [[Mass Blur]] which increase defensive capabilities by granting phantom ranks in the skill, [[Dodge]]; though, some spells increase ranks in Stalking and Hiding in addition to increasing defensive capabilities; such would go here.
*Availability defines who the spell can be cast on, such as [[self-cast]], group (like [[Mass Blur]]), and all (such as [[Elemental Defense I]]).

=== Offensive ===
This type changes the template to have a light yellow background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Weapon Enhancement''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability''' or '''Weapon Requirements'''.
*"Subtype" defines what sort of enhancement that this spell provides. Generally, weapon enhancements, attack strength enhancements, or more.
*"Enhancement" is split into two categories, defined by which variable is used -- {{{weapon}}} or {{{enhancement}}}.
**{{{weapon}}} - defines the template as a weapon enhancement, and this field is used to define what sort of enhancement the spell provides to the weapon. There are currently three weapon enhancement spells, [[Holy Blade]], [[Minor Elemental Edging]], and [[Elemental Blade]]. Holy Blade grants a weapon the Blessed status, and thus would be simply labeled, "Bless". Minor Elemental Edging and Elemental Blade both grant enchantment bonuses (labeled, "Enchantment"), though, Elemental Blade also adds flares (and thus would be labeled "Enchantment, Flares"). Using this variable replaces Availability with Requirements. Note that the spell, [[Enchant Item]], is not considered an offensive spell due to the ability to enchant shields and armor, in addition to weaponry.
**{{{enhancement}}} - defines the template as a general enhancement spell. This would be used where the spell provides an enhancement to an offensive skill, such as [[Patron's Blessing]], which increases ranks in the skill, [[Combat Maneuvers]]. Also, if the spell provides an increase to Attack Strength, it would be listed here.
*"Availability" is similar to the use with defensive spells as above, although, if this spell is labeled as a weapon enhancement by using the {{{weapon}}} variable, this line is replaced by the Requirements line.
*"Weapon Requirements" is used with weapon enhancements, and this line defines the requirements that are placed on the weapon to cast this spell. For example, to cast Holy Blade on a weapon, it cannot have flares or weighting. Additionally, to cast Minor Elemental Edging or Elemental Blade on a weapon, it cannot be magical in any way whatsoever. This includes weighting and flares.

=== Utility ===
This type changes the template to have a light blue background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Skill Enhancement''', '''Components''', and '''Availability'''.
*"Subtype" is often defined as either being Combat, Enhancement, or None, although other subtypes may be defined.
*"Skill Enhancement" is used to list whatever skills might be enhanced by this spell. Increases to skills that are not directly offensive or defensive in nature, such as [[Stalking and Hiding]], [[Skinning]], and [[Foraging]], will be listed as utility. If the spell does not enhance a skill, enter "None".
*"Components" lists the various components the spell may require. Listing the components as "None" will remove this line.
*"Availability" is used for enhancement utility spells, such as [[Sneaking]] or [[Whispering Willow]]. It is defined much like the Availability line in defensive spells.
== Navigation ==
The parameter {{{navigation}}} allows the use of any of the navigational templates available from the Spellbox series of templates. All of the navigational templates are listed below.
*[[Template:Minor spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Major spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Cleric base navigation]]
*[[Template:Minor elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Major elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Ranger base navigation]]
*[[Template:Sorcerer base navigation]]
*[[Template:Wizard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Bard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Empath base navigation]]
*[[Template:Paladin base navigation]]
== Other Examples ==
Current examples of this template in use include [[401]], [[601]], [[603]], [[606]], and [[619]].

== Notes ==
This template makes extensive use of the ParserFunctions extension. Many of these functions are severely nested and nested again and I admit the coding was rather confusing. I expect there to be bugs due to my inexperience with ParserFunctions and the complex structure of the template.

This article is still subject to change.

If the spell does not enhance a skill, enter "None".
*"Components" lists the various components the spell may require. Listing the components as "None" will remove this line.
*"Availability" is used for enhancement utility spells, such as [[Sneaking]] or [[Whispering Willow]]. It is defined much like the Availability line in defensive spells.
== Navigation ==
The parameter {{{navigation}}} allows the use of any of the navigational templates available from the Spellbox series of templates. All of the navigational templates are listed below.
*[[Template:Minor spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Major spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Cleric base navigation]]
*[[Template:Minor elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Major elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Ranger base navigation]]
*[[Template:Sorcerer base navigation]]
*[[Template:Wizard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Bard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Empath base navigation]]
*[[Template:Paladin base navigation]]
== Other Examples ==
Current examples of this template in use include [[401]], [[601]], [[603]], [[606]], and [[619]].

== Notes ==
This template makes extensive use of the ParserFunctions extension. Many of these functions are severely nested and nested again and I admit the coding was rather confusing. I expect there to be bugs due to my inexperience with ParserFunctions and the complex structure of the template.

This article is still subject to change.

The article changes colors based on the definition of the {{{type}}} parameter. The colors are according to the following table:
{| {{prettytable}}
|style="background:#FF9"|Offensive is FF9||style="background:#CF9"|Defensive is CF9||style="background:#9CF"|Utility is 9CF||style="background:#F99"|Attack is F99||style="background:#DDD"|Undefined is DDD

|}
The example to the right is an undefined table.
== Duration ==
The duration fields are easily replaced. If the variable (((duration}}} is defined, it automatically replaces the shown duration fields. This is to ensure backwards compatibility with the old spell template. Additionally, if the variable {{{custdur}}} is defined, it also replaces the shown fields and allows one to use the custom duration templates from the spellbox series of templates. These are [[Template:Spellbox instant]], [[Template:Spellbox block]], and [[Template:Spellbox duration]], although the Spellbox duration template would be exactly the same as the default.

== Types ==
The template changes drastically based on what type is chosen for the template. The preview, to the right, is what the template will look like with no type defined. Undefined, the template will be gray. However, the colors and parameters change when defined, and the type line will vanish so long as it meets one of four types: Attack, Defensive, Offensive, and Utility. It is case sensitive. Any unwanted line can be removed by defining the associated parameter as "None". This is case sensitive.

=== Attack ===
This type changes the template to have a pale red background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Target(s)''', '''Interval''', '''Damage Type''', '''Critical Type''', and '''State(s) Inflicted'''.
*Subtype defines if the attack is a warding, maneuver, or bolt attack, or a combination thereof.
*Target(s) is used to define who is targeted by the attack. Some spells affect everyone (room), everyone not in the group (ungrouped), all critters (creatures), or only a single individual. Some spells are limited in number and will chose targets randomly from an above list. If such is the case, put the list that the spell choses from, and go into more detail in the spell description within the article itself.
*Interval indicates if the spell is one-shot or damage over time. There may be more parameters.
*Damage Type is what sort of damage is inflicted. Usually, this'll be hitpoint damage, but it could be mana damage as well, or others.
**Critical Type line will show if the parameter {{{dtype}}} is defined. This'll list the sort of damage done, if it is elemental, or if it follows some other sort of critical chart, such as the Unbalance critical chart.
*State(s) Inflicted displays the type of status ailment inflicted on the target.

=== Defensive ===
This type changes the template to have a pale green background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Defensive Strength''', '''Target Defense''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability'''.
*Subtypes for defensive spells would define which sort of defensive capabilities the spell offers, such as increases to DS, TD, and skills.
*Defensive Strength should be listed as the type of DS it provides, such as [[melee]] or [[bolt]].
*Target Defense should be labelled by the type of TD it provides, like DS. Options are: Spiritual, Elemental, Mental, and Generic (or All).
*Enhancement would be used for spells such as [[Mass Blur]] which increase defensive capabilities by granting phantom ranks in the skill, [[Dodge]]; though, some spells increase ranks in Stalking and Hiding in addition to increasing defensive capabilities; such would go here.
*Availability defines who the spell can be cast on, such as [[self-cast]], group (like [[Mass Blur]]), and all (such as [[Elemental Defense I]]).

=== Offensive ===
This type changes the template to have a light yellow background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Weapon Enhancement''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability''' or '''Weapon Requirements'''.
*"Subtype" defines what sort of enhancement that this spell provides. Generally, weapon enhancements, attack strength enhancements, or more.
*"Enhancement" is split into two categories, defined by which variable is used -- {{{weapon}}} or {{{enhancement}}}.
**{{{weapon}}} - defines the template as a weapon enhancement, and this field is used to define what sort of enhancement the spell provides to the weapon. There are currently three weapon enhancement spells, [[Holy Blade]], [[Minor Elemental Edging]], and [[Elemental Blade]]. Holy Blade grants a weapon the Blessed status, and thus would be simply labeled, "Bless". Minor Elemental Edging and Elemental Blade both grant enchantment bonuses (labeled, "Enchantment"), though, Elemental Blade also adds flares (and thus would be labeled "Enchantment, Flares"). Using this variable replaces Availability with Requirements. Note that the spell, [[Enchant Item]], is not considered an offensive spell due to the ability to enchant shields and armor, in addition to weaponry.
**{{{enhancement}}} - defines the template as a general enhancement spell. This would be used where the spell provides an enhancement to an offensive skill, such as [[Patron's Blessing]], which increases ranks in the skill, [[Combat Maneuvers]]. Also, if the spell provides an increase to Attack Strength, it would be listed here.
*"Availability" is similar to the use with defensive spells as above, although, if this spell is labeled as a weapon enhancement by using the {{{weapon}}} variable, this line is replaced by the Requirements line.
*"Weapon Requirements" is used with weapon enhancements, and this line defines the requirements that are placed on the weapon to cast this spell. For example, to cast Holy Blade on a weapon, it cannot have flares or weighting. Additionally, to cast Minor Elemental Edging or Elemental Blade on a weapon, it cannot be magical in any way whatsoever. This includes weighting and flares.

=== Utility ===
This type changes the template to have a light blue background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Skill Enhancement''', '''Components''', and '''Availability'''.
*"Subtype" is often defined as either being Combat, Enhancement, or None, although other subtypes may be defined.
*"Skill Enhancement" is used to list whatever skills might be enhanced by this spell. Increases to skills that are not directly offensive or defensive in nature, such as [[Stalking and Hiding]], [[Skinning]], and [[Foraging]], will be listed as utility. If the spell does not enhance a skill, enter "None".
*"Components" lists the various components the spell may require. Listing the components as "None" will remove this line.
*"Availability" is used for enhancement utility spells, such as [[Sneaking]] or [[Whispering Willow]]. It is defined much like the Availability line in defensive spells.
== Navigation ==
The parameter {{{navigation}}} allows the use of any of the navigational templates available from the Spellbox series of templates. All of the navigational templates are listed below.
*[[Template:Minor spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Major spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Cleric base navigation]]
*[[Template:Minor elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Major elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Ranger base navigation]]
*[[Template:Sorcerer base navigation]]
*[[Template:Wizard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Bard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Empath base navigation]]
*[[Template:Paladin base navigation]]
== Other Examples ==
Current examples of this template in use include [[401]], [[601]], [[603]], [[606]], and [[619]].

== Notes ==
This template makes extensive use of the ParserFunctions extension. Many of these functions are severely nested and nested again and I admit the coding was rather confusing. I expect there to be bugs due to my inexperience with ParserFunctions and the complex structure of the template.

The parameter {{{navigation}}} allows the use of any of the navigational templates available from the Spellbox series of templates. All of the navigational templates are listed below.
*[[Template:Minor spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Major spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Cleric base navigation]]
*[[Template:Minor elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Major elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Ranger base navigation]]
*[[Template:Sorcerer base navigation]]
*[[Template:Wizard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Bard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Empath base navigation]]
*[[Template:Paladin base navigation]]
== Other Examples ==
Current examples of this template in use include [[401]], [[601]], [[603]], [[606]], and [[619]].

== Notes ==
This template makes extensive use of the ParserFunctions extension. Many of these functions are severely nested and nested again and I admit the coding was rather confusing. I expect there to be bugs due to my inexperience with ParserFunctions and the complex structure of the template.

This article is still subject to change.

The article changes colors based on the definition of the {{{type}}} parameter. The colors are according to the following table:
{| {{prettytable}}
|style="background:#FF9"|Offensive is FF9||style="background:#CF9"|Defensive is CF9||style="background:#9CF"|Utility is 9CF||style="background:#F99"|Attack is F99||style="background:#DDD"|Undefined is DDD
|-
|style="background:#FFFFF8"|Offensive is FFFFF8||style="background:#FCFFF8"|Defensive is FCFFF8||style="background:#F8FCFF"|Utility is F8FCFF||style="background:#FFF8F8"|Attack is FFF8F8||style="background:#F9F9F9"|Undefined is F9F9F9
|}
The example to the right is an undefined table.
== Duration ==
The duration fields are easily replaced. If the variable (((duration}}} is defined, it automatically replaces the shown duration fields. This is to ensure backwards compatibility with the old spell template. Additionally, if the variable {{{custdur}}} is defined, it also replaces the shown fields and allows one to use the custom duration templates from the spellbox series of templates. These are [[Template:Spellbox instant]], [[Template:Spellbox block]], and [[Template:Spellbox duration]], although the Spellbox duration template would be exactly the same as the default.

== Types ==
The template changes drastically based on what type is chosen for the template. The preview, to the right, is what the template will look like with no type defined. Undefined, the template will be gray. However, the colors and parameters change when defined, and the type line will vanish so long as it meets one of four types: Attack, Defensive, Offensive, and Utility. It is case sensitive. Any unwanted line can be removed by defining the associated parameter as "None". This is case sensitive.

=== Attack ===
This type changes the template to have a pale red background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Target(s)''', '''Interval''', '''Damage Type''', '''Critical Type''', and '''State(s) Inflicted'''.
*Subtype defines if the attack is a warding, maneuver, or bolt attack, or a combination thereof.
*Target(s) is used to define who is targeted by the attack. Some spells affect everyone (room), everyone not in the group (ungrouped), all critters (creatures), or only a single individual. Some spells are limited in number and will chose targets randomly from an above list. If such is the case, put the list that the spell choses from, and go into more detail in the spell description within the article itself.
*Interval indicates if the spell is one-shot or damage over time. There may be more parameters.
*Damage Type is what sort of damage is inflicted. Usually, this'll be hitpoint damage, but it could be mana damage as well, or others.
**Critical Type line will show if the parameter {{{dtype}}} is defined. This'll list the sort of damage done, if it is elemental, or if it follows some other sort of critical chart, such as the Unbalance critical chart.
*State(s) Inflicted displays the type of status ailment inflicted on the target.

=== Defensive ===
This type changes the template to have a pale green background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Defensive Strength''', '''Target Defense''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability'''.
*Subtypes for defensive spells would define which sort of defensive capabilities the spell offers, such as increases to DS, TD, and skills.
*Defensive Strength should be listed as the type of DS it provides, such as [[melee]] or [[bolt]].
*Target Defense should be labelled by the type of TD it provides, like DS. Options are: Spiritual, Elemental, Mental, and Generic (or All).
*Enhancement would be used for spells such as [[Mass Blur]] which increase defensive capabilities by granting phantom ranks in the skill, [[Dodge]]; though, some spells increase ranks in Stalking and Hiding in addition to increasing defensive capabilities; such would go here.
*Availability defines who the spell can be cast on, such as [[self-cast]], group (like [[Mass Blur]]), and all (such as [[Elemental Defense I]]).

=== Offensive ===
This type changes the template to have a light yellow background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Weapon Enhancement''', '''Enhancement''', and '''Availability''' or '''Weapon Requirements'''.
*"Subtype" defines what sort of enhancement that this spell provides. Generally, weapon enhancements, attack strength enhancements, or more.
*"Enhancement" is split into two categories, defined by which variable is used -- {{{weapon}}} or {{{enhancement}}}.
**{{{weapon}}} - defines the template as a weapon enhancement, and this field is used to define what sort of enhancement the spell provides to the weapon. There are currently three weapon enhancement spells, [[Holy Blade]], [[Minor Elemental Edging]], and [[Elemental Blade]]. Holy Blade grants a weapon the Blessed status, and thus would be simply labeled, "Bless". Minor Elemental Edging and Elemental Blade both grant enchantment bonuses (labeled, "Enchantment"), though, Elemental Blade also adds flares (and thus would be labeled "Enchantment, Flares"). Using this variable replaces Availability with Requirements. Note that the spell, [[Enchant Item]], is not considered an offensive spell due to the ability to enchant shields and armor, in addition to weaponry.
**{{{enhancement}}} - defines the template as a general enhancement spell. This would be used where the spell provides an enhancement to an offensive skill, such as [[Patron's Blessing]], which increases ranks in the skill, [[Combat Maneuvers]]. Also, if the spell provides an increase to Attack Strength, it would be listed here.
*"Availability" is similar to the use with defensive spells as above, although, if this spell is labeled as a weapon enhancement by using the {{{weapon}}} variable, this line is replaced by the Requirements line.
*"Weapon Requirements" is used with weapon enhancements, and this line defines the requirements that are placed on the weapon to cast this spell. For example, to cast Holy Blade on a weapon, it cannot have flares or weighting. Additionally, to cast Minor Elemental Edging or Elemental Blade on a weapon, it cannot be magical in any way whatsoever. This includes weighting and flares.

=== Utility ===
This type changes the template to have a light blue background in addition to adding lines for '''Subtype''', '''Skill Enhancement''', '''Components''', and '''Availability'''.
*"Subtype" is often defined as either being Combat, Enhancement, or None, although other subtypes may be defined.
*"Skill Enhancement" is used to list whatever skills might be enhanced by this spell. Increases to skills that are not directly offensive or defensive in nature, such as [[Stalking and Hiding]], [[Skinning]], and [[Foraging]], will be listed as utility. If the spell does not enhance a skill, enter "None".
*"Components" lists the various components the spell may require. Listing the components as "None" will remove this line.
*"Availability" is used for enhancement utility spells, such as [[Sneaking]] or [[Whispering Willow]]. It is defined much like the Availability line in defensive spells.
== Navigation ==
The parameter {{{navigation}}} allows the use of any of the navigational templates available from the Spellbox series of templates. All of the navigational templates are listed below.
*[[Template:Minor spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Major spiritual navigation]]
*[[Template:Cleric base navigation]]
*[[Template:Minor elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Major elemental navigation]]
*[[Template:Ranger base navigation]]
*[[Template:Sorcerer base navigation]]
*[[Template:Wizard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Bard base navigation]]
*[[Template:Empath base navigation]]
*[[Template:Paladin base navigation]]
== Other Examples ==
Current examples of this template in use include [[401]], [[601]], [[603]], [[606]], and [[619]].

== Notes ==
This template makes extensive use of the ParserFunctions extension. Many of these functions are severely nested and nested again and I admit the coding was rather confusing. I expect there to be bugs due to my inexperience with ParserFunctions and the complex structure of the template.

Remove Curse (315)

2014-10-08T18:50:56Z

Admin:

{{Spell
| mnemonic = REMCURSE
| custdur = {{spellbox instant | }}
| type = Utility
| subtype = Uncurse
| skill = None
| components = a [[Curse (715)|cursed]] item
| availability = any cursed item
| navigation = {{Cleric base navigation|type=Utility}}
}}

This spell allows the caster to remove a [[715|curse]] placed on an item.

==Success Factors==
All coefficients are equal between the two professions, [[Cleric]] and [[Sorcerer]]. There is no random roll. Whichever caster has the higher strength wins. Additionally, Clerics receive an immense bonus to Remove Curse if the cursed target was [[Neutralize Curse (309)|Neutralize Cursed]] first.

The strength formula for a Curse and/or Remove Curse on an item is based on the following factors:

*[[Discipline]] and [[Aura]] bonuses

*Appropriate spell ranks for each caster (Sorcerer or Cleric spell bases). Spell ranks count significantly more than lore ranks.

*Ranks in the appropriate lore ([[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|Spirit Summoning]] for 715, [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings|Blessings]] for 315)

*Level (the coefficient for this is reduced if the spell is not native to the caster)

==Lore Benefits==
[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] increases the spell strength when attempting to remove a curse.

Cleric Base

2014-10-08T18:50:07Z

Admin:

{{cleric_base header | navigation = {{cleric_base_navigation}} }}

Admin:

'''Morvule Thinevael''' was a high priest of [[Luukos]] and played a prominent role in the [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword Wars]]. He was killed in the Black Temple during the end of the War, but was resurrected through [[The Maw of Luukos]] during the [[Ride of the Red Dreamer]] by [[Nershuul]] and vanished afterwards.

==Behind the Scenes==
===Morvule's Appearance===
:You see Lord Morvule Thinevael the Luukosian High Priest.
:He appears to be very old, has emerald slit-pupiled eyes, and dark green scaled skin.
:He has a series of wavy ophidian marks upon his neck.
:He is holding a dark wooden staff swirled with a sinuous spiral of black ora in his left hand.
:He is wearing a long deep-hooded cloak, a gleaming bronze ring set with a glittering red gem, a carved emerald Luukos symbol set upon a disc of bronze and some dark flowing robes.

Gswiki:Style guide

2014-09-24T20:56:57Z

Admin: Created page with "This page lays out some of the rough style and layout guidelines we use on this Wiki. The purpose of these isn't to force everyone to look the same, it's to make the informat..."

This page lays out some of the rough style and layout guidelines we use on this Wiki. The purpose of these isn't to force everyone to look the same, it's to make the information organized and easier for people to discover, so feel free to object to any you feel don't achieve that goal.

== NPOV and IUHPOV ==

Articles written for Krakiipedia which are purely mechanical in nature should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV), that is without bias or extensive use of subjective language. For mechanics articles, this is not generally an issue, as applying bias to mechanics is difficult at best, but the policy should be kept in mind none-the-less.

Example areas of concern include commenting on the usefulness of skills, spells or other mechanical systems in-general or in comparison to others or comparing professions or races, and features there-of, to one another.

Articles on topics not relating purely to mechanics, such as those about people, places and things, should not only be written with adherence to NPOV, but also adhere to an In-Universe Historical Point of View (IUHPOV).

The IUHPOV dictates that articles which fall under it must be ''primarily'' written from the point of view of a person existing in the GemStone game world, and be written in the narrative past tense. This allows for articles to be built upon in the future with less hassle, and also unifies the overall flow of articles.

Articles which fall under IUHPOV, but could or should include information that is considered out-of-character, such as directly-related mechanics or mechanical constructs, may include a section titled Behind the Scenes, using <nowiki>== Behind the Scenes==</nowiki>, below which the IUHPOV does not apply and information may be presented from a player perspective. The inclusion of such a section is not mandatory for an article to be considered complete (i.e. not a stub.)

An example of the use of IUHPOV along with a BtS section could be an article about an NPC in a town, where the main article includes information about the character the mechanical NPC represents while the BtS section provides information such as the mechanical description of the NPC in-game, the DESCRIBE or LOOK of the NPC, lists of lazy actions the NPC performs (though these may be expressed in narrative form in the main article), valid ASK options for the NPC, and so forth.

Articles need not be explicitly updated to retroactively adhere to either NPOV or IUHPOV policy, though any editor who makes edits after the institution of this policy should ensure that article meets this requirement. Articles edited to adhere to NPOV or IUHPOV should include the appropriate term in their edit comment.

== Linking ==

In order to avoid having the text become distracting, articles need only be linked to the first time they are encountered. Thus, a paragraph that mentions a spell several times need only have the first instance linked. If it has been a long time (several paragraphs or a screen worth of text) since something was last linked, it can be useful to link it a second time, but it doesn't need to be linked each time it appears.

== Naming ==

Like on [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], article names should have the first letter capitalized and the remaining words in lowercase (such as [[SGE protocol saved post]]) unless the topic is a proper noun, in which case it should be in title case like usual (such as [[Wehnimer's Landing]]). The reason for this is so that if you link a title in the middle of a word, the link looks appropriate without any extra massaging.

Similarly, article names should be singular ([[Rogue]] instead of Rogues) unless the item being discussed is always plural (such as the [[Elven Nations]]).

=== Verb names ===

Verb names should be the full name of the verb in capitals followed by (verb), for example the page for the INVENTO verb would be named "INVENTO (verb)". Remember that verbs are truncated to seven (7) characters in length, for example the verb INVENTORY is in fact INVENTO. In cases where the intuitive verb name is longer than the actual verb name (such as with INVENTO), there should be a redirect from the intuitive verb name to the real verb name.

See [[Help:Style (verbs)]] for more information on verb entries.

=== Skill names ===

Skill names should be the full name of the skill in title case.

See [[Help:Style (skills)]] for more information on skill entries.

=== Spell names ===

Spell names should be the name of the spell followed by the number of the spell in parentheses (such as [[Mana Leech (516)]]). A redirect page should exist for both the spell number ([[516]]) and the spell name ([[Mana Leech]]). Spells are proper nouns and thus should be in title case.

See [[Help:Style (spells)]] for more information on spell entries.

== Scripts ==

Scripts can be added to Krakiipedia following these guidelines.

=== Naming ===

Script articles should be named with a descriptive name for the script's function or content followed by the string "(script)". For example, you might name a script for traveling around the Elven Nations "Elven Nations travel (script)" or a script for getting deeds in the city of Ta'Illistim "Ta'Illistim deeds (script)".

=== Formatting ===

The article should start with the script template as a header (see [[Template:Script]] for details) and be followed with the contents of the script file enclosed within the <pre> and </pre> HTML elements, which will preserve the formatting of the text (including white space and newlines.) Inclusion of the template will automatically add the article to [[:Category:Scripts]].

An example of how to format a script article:

<pre>
# This is an example script.

if_1 goto %1%
echo Syntax: .example {argument}
exit

option1:
echo This is option 1.
exit

labelError:
echo The option you entered was not valid.
exit
</pre>

== Saved Posts ==

Saved posts should be on their own page, which should be just the text of the saved post preceeded by the post date and poster's account and followed by <nowiki>[[Category:Saved Posts]]</nowiki> and possibly other categories which apply. The saved post template (see [[Template:Saved-post]] for details) simplifies this process, as well as automatically including the article in the Saved Posts category.

Saved posts should be named something like "SGE protocol (saved post)", with a title describing the most relevant topic of the post followed by the string "(saved post)", and if there are multiple posts on the same topic, they can be named "Topic 1 (saved post)", "Topic 2 (saved post)", etc..

For pages in which you would like to include a saved post along with other text, put the saved post on its own page and use <nowiki>{{:Topic (saved post)}}</nowiki> to include it in the main article (see the [[SGE protocol]] article for an example). In other cases, a link at the bottom to any related posts will be sufficient.

== Signatures ==

If you edit an article on Krakiipedia, please refrain from including a signiture (generally using the <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> Wikitext markup) in the article. The history feature of MediaWiki does an exemplary job of keeping track of edits and who last edited a particular article.

== Copyrights ==

Remember that if something is written by someone else, they own the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright copyright] to it, even if there is no copyright notice posted in relation to it. Unless you have permission from the author, you may not use that text directly. Most importantly, this includes the official [[Simutronics]] website.

Equally important to remember is that ideas are not copyrighted, only the expression of those ideas. So just because the Simutronics website has a page on a subject doesn't mean there can't be one here as well. It does mean that you can't copy portions of the text from that page over to the page here, though.

== Categories ==

When creating new articles, or even updating older ones, please take a moment and check the [[Special:Categories|category list]] and determine if any existing categories are appropriate for the article being edited.

== Tips and tricks ==

See the [[Help:Tips and tricks|tips and tricks]] page for some advanced editing techniques.

Gswiki:Requests/2020 archive

2014-09-24T20:56:23Z

Admin:

:'''Please place new requests at the ''top'' of this page, so they are easily visible. Thanks!'''

This is the page to request something for or about Krakiipedia. Possible requests might be for particular articles or for someone to copyedit or wikify an article that doesn't look very good. If you work on a request, don't erase it, just respond to it, like follows:

===Charge Item (example)===
Could someone write an article on Charge Item? [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 02:18, 3 January 2006 (CST)
: Here you go: [[Charge Item (517)]]. Does that answer whatever questions you might have on it? [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 02:18, 3 January 2006 (CST)
:: Yep, thanks! [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 02:18, 3 January 2006 (CST)

That will make it so that people can see what's happened with their request a few days or weeks later, whenever they get around to checking on it. Please make sure to sign your request by putting four tildes after it like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

__TOC__

== Request List ==
===Padding/Weighting Tables===
Last week Wyrom stated on the officials that the padding/weighting tables were wrong for amounts greater than very heavily. I have updated the three pages where the charts appear ([[critical weighting]], [[damage weighting]] and [[padding]]) with Wyrom's statement to warn readers, but the work to make the charts correct will have to fall to someone else. [[User:VANKRASN39|VANKRASN39]] 15:42, 22 July 2014 (EDT)

===Update Wiki Framework===
Trying to make sortable tables, but it looks like the version of wiki that is installed on Krakii doesn't support it. Any chance we could patch that in? [[User:Hjelte|Whirlin]]
:<nowiki>class="wikitable sortable"</nowiki> doesn't work for you? It's used here: [[List of combat maneuvers by profession]]. Also, heads up that I moved your request to the top of the list as the list since it is a new request. And four tildes for your signature will date stamp your request! [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 09:57, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
::There we go. It was the KP skin suppressing wikitable sortable. [[User:HJELTE|HJELTE]] 10:07, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

===Saved Posts===
I've noticed over the last few weeks that a lot of saved posts were never linked under the "See Also" sections of the appropriate articles. Sadly, this means that a lot of folk probably never see the a lot posts that were saved since there's a LOT of them to sort through and who knows how many of them can only be found in the Saved Posts category. So, since I've finished posting the treasure info for critters in RR, I figured I'd start going through the Saved Posts category and make sure they're all linked to from the pages it makes sense for them to be. I'll be starting from the beginning and working my way towards the end, if there's someone that wanted to start at the end and meet me somewhere in the middle that would make it go a lot faster, I'm sure. [[User:OM1E5GA|OM1E5GA]] 13:22, 8 February 2013 (EST)

=== Math (TeX) ===
The editing bar has a link to insert math equations, but the <math> tag to parse TeX doesn't seem to actually be implemented. I'd gladly go through and TeX up the more mechanical articles if this were enabled. (see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Enable_TeX) [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 18:57, 22 June 2010 (EDT)

===Move Armor hinderance to Armor hindrance ===
because that's how you spell it. fixing a bunch of places that appears. [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 21:43, 14 June 2010 (EDT)
:Go right ahead. There's a MOVE button at the top of each page. I'll delete the incorrect page once you move it. [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 22:29, 14 June 2010 (EDT)
::Sorry, I thought that required more rights than I had. [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 23:38, 14 June 2010 (EDT)

===Move Warcries to War Cries===
I set up a redirect from War Cries to Warcries, but the in game name is War Cries:

You are a Master of War Cries.
You have learned the following War Cries:

et cetera. [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 23:36, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

: All set. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 23:49, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
:: That was fast, thanks! [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 23:50, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

=== Merge request ===
http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/1630

http://www.krakiipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judgment_(1630)

Can someone merge the first into the second and redirect it? --[[User:KANYDA|Drew]] 04:13, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

:Sorry about that. I'd thrown the messaging on that 1630 page and forgot about it. I went back and finished. I don't have a paladin, though, so I'm editing blindly (how is that different than normal, amirite?) [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 06:37, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

=== Creature Deletion ===
Since I didn't notice there was already a "putrified Citadel herald" and it was a misspelling of the actual creature name...can a Sysop please delete the page that I created today for "Putrefied Citadel herald" and move "Putrified Citadel herald" to the "putrefied" spelling? [[User:DRIZZT-12|Adam]] [[User talk:DRIZZT-12|talk]] 21:24, 16 February 2009 (EST)

: Done. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 08:09, 24 February 2009 (EST)

: Thank you! [[User:DRIZZT-12|Adam]] [[User talk:DRIZZT-12|talk]] 18:40, 24 February 2009 (EST)

===Warrior: Guard and Protect===
Could someone put up a page with the known info about the guard and protect ability that warriors have?[[User:WELCHA|Andreas]] 14:47, 11 February 2009 (EST)
:[[Warrior#Guard and Protect|16 months later]]... [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 23:41, 5 June 2010 (EDT)

===Cleanup Weapon Bonding===
I added a table with the messaging/effects/etc I had on [[Weapon Bonding]], but it's ugly. I invite you to make it look better. [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] 03:50, 24 November 2008 (EST)
===Minotaurs / Yetis Update Request===
Minotaurs and krag yetis on the [[Wehntoph]] are no longer around level 25 (less for yetis). These pages need to be updated to reflect their new levels accordingly, which may range from 80-90 or so. I'd do it myself, but I don't know their new levels. Anyone willing? -[[User:MYRMIDON1011|Quillus]] 17:44, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
: Most of them looked fine to me, but I updated the BCS status and linked to the saved posts about the changes. All of the levels were up on the play.net bestiary. ~ [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 19:53, 10 December 2008 (EST)
===Left-side Navigation===
Could we possibly add a "Creatures" category under the "gemstone" heading and have it link to http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/List_of_creatures_by_level ? Then someone coming to Krakiipedia to look up information on a certain creature could go directly to list a of all the creatures by level and find it MUCH easier than trying to use the search feature of the wiki to find it. [[User:DRIZZT-12|Adam]] [[User talk:DRIZZT-12|talk]] 18:58, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
: I added a link to the [[:Category:Creatures]]. Also, please make sure to add requests below the request list section, and not above the example. ;) [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 17:13, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
: Oh yeah, sorry about that. That would have been helpful (putting it above the section). Thanks a lot for the creatures nav add to the sidebar. [[User:DRIZZT-12|Adam]] [[User talk:DRIZZT-12|talk]] 18:00, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

=== Page-name change request===
(First, I'd like to say that it seems counter-intuitive to add new requests here at the top, but okay, I'll follow directions.) The page for "Sonic Weapon Song (1012)" is incorrectly named "Sonic Blade Song (1012)"; I finally realized that fact after having been editing several of the Bard list for the last week or so. The mnemonic has been correct, but when I updated the list navigation pane the link broke. Can the name of the page be changed? Thanks! [[User:KRAKII|Krakii]] 11:45, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
:Learned something new; the "redirect" feature. Nifty. [[User:KRAKII|Krakii]] 14:19, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

=== Okay... A real request ===
Not that my previous request wasn't a "real" request, albeit ignored. This request has less to do with admins and more to do with [[Combat Maneuvers]]. There's a huge list of combat maneuvers that need to be fleshed out. I'd like those to be our next major focus, followed by finishing up the spell lists, namely [[Minor Elemental]] spells. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 01:36, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
:Two years later, but I finally made all the links blue. It's basically just the template and the info from play.net, and messaging if I have access to the maneuvers, but it will make it much much easier to add any info now that the pages actually exist. Shame on you all for making the least mechanically-inclined person do it! ~ [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 19:53, 10 December 2008 (EST)

=== A [[Main Page]] request! ===
[[Image:Gs4play.gif|thumb|GemStone IV 'play' button]]
Here's one for you, Ollie. The main page really should have a banner displaying the GemStone IV logo. Given that we're one of the best, if not the best, sources of information about GemStone IV on the intarweb, shouldn't we be listed on the [http://www.play.net/gs4/info/links/ links page] on Play.net? In order to be listed there, we will need that play button on the main page. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 20:35, 12 August 2006 (EDT)
:"Internets" is the word you are looking for there. As in, "We are the best source of information on the internets." [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 13:57, 13 August 2006 (EDT)

=== Criticals ===
I don't mean to take precidence away from the previous article (Which I feel does deserve some attention and does carry weight), but I'd like to request aid in the [[Critical randomization]] article, as I cannot confirm how accurate that information is at the moment (due to a lack of an account in addition to the inability to find any sources for this information). If someone could do me the favor of finding a source or requesting the information on the boards for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 01:29, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

===Power to the users?===
Hey, I just set up my own mediawiki for something else, and found out all kinds of neat things, like... You know, it's not that hard to make a site easily navigable. The only way that's remotely efficient to get to pages is to know them already (since I know them and have edited them) or are in the recent changes. I've gotten many complaints from people that it's really hard to find stuff you want to find on KP and this is due to clumsy navigation (at best) and... There's nothing we can do about it. This is of course due to the fact that only a couple people can actually edit important pages. Now, I'm not asking for any Tom, Dick, or Candor off the street te be able to edit pages like MediaWiki:Sidebar or the main page, but you know, we all have play.net accounts... And... Could probably behave. If not, we can vote to ban them or our dictator could probably ban them if they misbehave so much. Short version: Can we registered (and maybe even only us with a long history of responsible edits) users edit more of the content/back end of the mediawiki?[[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 23:30, 2 August 2006 (EDT)

: I don't plan on adding to the ranks of SysOps any time in the forseeable future. If someone feels something should be added to the sidebar or the main page, that's what this requests page is for. - [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 11:24, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

Alright, well I think the sidebar would be much more useful if it looked like this:
* Krakiipedia
** Category:Profession|Professions
** Category Races_and_Cultures|Races and cultures
** Special:Categories|Categories
** Category:Basic_mechanics|Basic mechanics
** Magic|Magic
** Krakiipedia:Requests|Requests
** Help:Style|Style Guide

If you'd like me to discuss why, I'd be glad to.

And while I'm making this request, I might as well ask that the main page be updated at least once per quarter, and better, maybe weekly or daily. Information like that on a splash page needs to be dynamic or else it becomes invisible. Also, would you go ahead and make pages for: [[Elven Empire]] [[Undead]] [[House Chesylcha]], [[Mental Lore, Transformation]], [[Minor Mental]], [[Savant Base]], [[Breakage]], [[Race]], [[Mental]], [[Major Mental]], [[Treasure system]], [[Lornon]], [[Ta'Nalfein]], [[WAVE (verb)]], [[Monk Base]], [[Rhoska-tor]], [[Elemental Blade (411)]], [[Lorminstra]], [[Holy Receptacle (325)]], [[Silvean Rashere]]? Those are at the top of the [[Special:Wantedpages|wanted pages]] list. Thanks. If only there were a feature so that users could do things like keep the main page dynamic or make pages like this... I'll google around. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 13:31, 4 August 2006 (EDT)
:Note: what I'd actually really like here is the ability to edit the main page, in case that's not clear

: No one has been nominating featured articles or growing pains articles, and thus they have not been updated. Nothing else on the main page really needs update, and I don't see anything particularly pertinent to be included on the main page. Again, if something really needs to be added to he main page, a request can be made. As for the missing articles, anyone is quite capable of creating new articles. You don't need a SysOp for that. Just click on the link and start typing. - [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 18:40, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, I think we'd have to become a GM first to get SysOp privileges, buddy. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 21:01, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

:Hmmm, and of course, that's the only way to get my username to be not ALLCAPS. Oh well, next stop on my world domination tour: becoming a GM. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 21:36, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

I admit that I'm rather fond of lowercase letters. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 04:10, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

:Thanks for the change, Oliver. Another request, though, could you link the sidebar to the [[Magic]] page, and not the [[:Category:Magic]] page? [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 20:06, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Though, I've a quick question. Would it really affect the integrity of KP to make someone else an administrator? It is clear that there are a number of users that make active and beneficial edits to this Wiki and have done so reliably. Making them admins would only increase their ability to continue to make beneficial edits to this project. Let me reiterate: There are people with proven track records that clearly would not abuse the priviledge of administrator access. Why keep them from it? Though, it has been made clear that I am not to be trusted, but someone else might think it an honor. It'd also be nice to have an admin that actually, you know, responds to my requests, like the one about the main page. Seeing as this is the second time I've made that request, I'd like to know why no one has done anything with it. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 17:52, 16 August 2006 (EDT)

:I'll chime in on this topic. Well, I'm new here. In fact, I made my username a while ago (probably at least 6 months ago), but never edited. This was due to what I felt were draconian policies toward users. In my past wiki experience, no usernames or registration was required, and absolutely not a single page was protected. We had a spam clean-up bot that did an awesome job, and otherwise we just monitored the recent changes. I don't see the point in having a wiki if you restrict it so much. I'm an admin on www.wikipaltz.com, and thats how we do things there, and it works great. So, to be clear, I don't think there should be any required usernames, or any application or approval process, it just turns people off. I also don't think anything at all should be protected (minus the back-end type stuff, of course). Opinions? --[[User:SUGARBOY234554|SUGARBOY234554]] 03:35, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

I think that Ollie enjoys pretending that we're little children that are incapable of editing and maintaining this particular Wiki without his iron-fist style supervision. It's silly, and I admit a rather large amount of displeasure with him for it. For example, in our IRC channel, Ollie doesn't moderate it, yet, we cannot control our own ops and cannot change the topic without help from him or the select two that he's trusted with ops priveledges... who don't even use the IRC channel, anymore. I cannot think of a logical reason for why he would treat us like this. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 13:12, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

:Well, ya know what? Fuck 'im, and this wiki. I'll take my wikisavvy [http://www.gs4.org/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page here], a GSIV wiki that needs a lot of help. Ollie, I request that my account be deleted, and that all input I've had on your wiki be deleted. This is the courtesty that wikipedia gives, and I hope you do the same for us lowly users. Hope to see you all at the other wiki. --[[User:SUGARBOY234554|SUGARBOY234554]] 13:35, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

The whole "GM's are the only admins and everyone else is just a baby who can't hardly be trusted to even shit in the right place" thing really really really bothers me. It's why I've not done any work here lately, though it sorely needs to be done and I'd like to do it. When Mestys was able to come in and (having made like 2 edits in his life) changed the sidebar back to have the User List link, which is pretty much the dumbest link ever and not really helpful or informative to anyone who is using the page for information, because he is a GM I was really bothered. It's just stupid these little things that are done to remind us that we are mere users/players while they are teh uber GM's. Seriously, I'd love it if Oliver could get over his specialness and either relax the restrictions on what mere users can do or let the people that contribute actively and have track records of being consistent and "good" in their editing be Admins. The IRC channel business is absolutely retarded as well. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] [[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]] 13:43, 23 September 2006 (EDT)
::I'm seeing a lot of chaffing at the bit in this thread. I'll address several topics brought up in this discussion.*The Admin issue - Yes, places like Wikipedia have many admins and editors routinely can ask to be made such and are elected. Yet, it took a couple years or so before Wikipedia adopted the admin system that it has today. On top of that, and I think the real important issue, Wikipedia has tens of thousands of editors. I think KP has under ten? I just feel that it might sew more disgruntlement among the other editors if one person was made Admin out of this small group, than none at all. In my time here, I haven't been in a situation where having Admin abilities were required. Thats just me, though.

::Editor qualification - What does it do? It makes you wait about 24 hours to start editting. What does this affect? The random passerby adding something on the spur of the moment. I think it would be great to have the process sped up to as instantaneous as possible, but it does ensure that those who know Gem best are the ones editting KP. And on the rare occurrence there's someone who has played Gem considerably, but currently does not have an account, well, perhaps something could be implemented where present editors could vouch for that person. As is, this is not really that big a deal. Those affected by it are those who's attention is lost over the time that it takes to sign up.

::That other Wiki. They lift material, without citing it, directly from Gem documentation. Thats certainly nothing that Wikipedia approves of. So for those thinking of going there to work, you might want to fix that. :)
:[[User:REBELAT|Rail]] 09:17, 24 September 2006 (EDT)

::: I've continued to streamline the account request process as much as I could over the short life of KP so far, and its current implementation is steps above and beyond what was originally in place. I've looked into a completely automated system, which was the original goal, but just haven't had time to explore the MediaWiki software in enough detail to manage it. Activating confirmed accounts is part of my morning KP ritual, and one of the first things I do in my day.
::: [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 16:18, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

I don't much care about becoming an Admin, myself, but I would like it a lot better if Ollie would communicate with us when he won't grant a given request, or if he justified the reasons for the restrictions in certain areas. Let me sum up the reasons for my discontent: Why won't he add KP to the Simutronics Player Sites list? Why is the Main Page locked while the Wiki has account-limited access? Why can't we change the topic in the IRC channel? What happens if someone disruptive joins the public IRC channel without someone to kick or ban said person? Why does he have to make it so that him and two select others that never touch these projects have the power to make these changes when those of us that actually use it cannot have the same power? If Ollie, Ildran, or Mestys were active editors of KP, I couldn't complain at all about the choice of admins. If Ollie, Jen, and Ted were active visitors to the IRC channel, I couldn't complain about the lack of ops access or the inability to change the topic. Here is where the problem lies, my friend. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 13:07, 24 September 2006 (EDT)

: The main page is protected for the same reason any other page is protected. There shouldn't be any reason to ever edit it. As for my activity, I read KP every morning, and generally check it once or twice a day after that. I read over most if not all of the contributions made each day, though I don't have time to write articles myself. When requests are posted, I consider them, and take action how I see fit. As long as I am paying to keep this site existent out of my own pocket, I will administer it as such.

: I had a vision for KP since I conceived the idea, and invite others to come and take part in it, but it's still very much my personal vision. If you do not agree, then you are welcome to voice your opinions, but I am under absolutely no obligation to agree with them. I will continue to define policy for KP as I see necessary to ensure KP adheres to my vision for it. If, in the end, that drives editors away, then I suppose that is my loss. However, it is one I am willing to take.

: That being said, not everything is a cut and dry as one might perceive. KP is a fairly unique site among other 'player' sites, in that it is run and paid for by a GameMaster. As such, it is bound by policies I have to adhere to by being a GameMaster and having the privilage to create and run such a site.

: The IRC related issues, which really have no place here in the first place, could have been solved with a simple message on AIM.

: [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 16:18, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

You know, I suddenly find myself without reason to bitch. May the editing of KP continue! -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 18:07, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

: Though, users like [[User:SUGARBOY234554|SUGARBOY234554]] and [[User:EDWARDRIMKUS|EDWARDRIMKUS]] (April) would likely want the privilege to change their user names without having to pay a fee to Simutronics. Additionally, I'm quite certain that all of us non-GMs would love to have non-capped user names. I suppose making capped usernames makes the automation a bit simpler, or something, but it is quite visually unappealing. Of course, visual appeal is one of the key points of an encyclopedia, since, you know, they are works of art. Heh. I am aware that usernames don't appear in the main articles. The purpose of that last point was, more or less, humor. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 18:44, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

===Missing Skills===
I'd like to see the skills filled out. These are still missing: [[Shield Use]], [[Multi Opponent Combat]], [[Physical Fitness]], [[Magic Item Use]], [[Spirit Mana Control]], [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]], [[Spiritual Lore, Religion]], [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]], [[Mental Lore, Divination]], [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]], [[Mental Lore, Telepathy]], [[Mental Lore, Transference]], [[Mental Lore, Transformation]], [[Survival]], [[Swimming]], [[First Aid]], and [[Pickpocketing]]. Now, this isn't a push, or anything. I'd like to see these filled out by someone who is truly interested in writing these. Obviously, I'll work on them eventually, myself, but help is always welcome. Also, anyone is welcome to work on my "To Do" list under my user page. It's seen, well, a LOT of additons. Seems the more I finish, the more I have to do! -[[User:BELATHUS|Belathus]] 21:12, 26 March 2006 (PST)

Any chance that we could get the "category" list added to the navigation pane in the lefthand margin? Currently, you have to go to the Main Page and then click on the link about halfway down that. Thanks! [[User:KRAKII|Krakii]] 06:56, 26 January 2006 (PST)

: I'll look into it when I get a chance. I'm not ever sure where it's generated. :grins: I was also thinking the front page should have a bit of an extended offering of initial navigation options. Was thinking of something like three to four encompassing categories, something like World, Mechanics, Player Lore, with a list of a few (maybe random) articles from each category below it. Maybe even snippets from some of the articles as a kind of 'featured article'. It's a thought for the future anyway. - [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] 07:05, 26 January 2006 (PST)

: Figured it out! You'll notice a bunch of snazzy new stuff over there on the left-hand side of KP. Leave suggestions of what we should include there. - [[User:Anshou|Oliver]]

===Planar Shifting===
Ildran, could you renumber the Planar Shifting saved posts from 1-9 to instead be 01-09? In this way, they will all appear in a nice, sensible order rather than jumping from 1 to 11 to 2 to 3 et cetera. Thanks! [[User:KRAKII|Krakii]] 12:06, 11 January 2006 (CST)
: Not Ildran, but it's done. ;) Big pain in the ass it was too. Freakin' category listing wouldn't update after the moves/deletes. :( [[User:Anshou|Anshou]] 12:30, 11 January 2006 (CST)
:: Sorry about that. Didnt know there were going to be that many when I got started. Will try to be aware in the future. [[User:ULTHRIPE|ULTHRIPE]] 00:24, 12 January 2006 (CST)

===Pickpocketing===
What stats and skills (other than PP and perception) that play into it? [[User:WELCHA|WELCHA]] 12:39, 7 January 2006 (CST)
:I'm not sure if I've stated that before. If I have, then someone would be able to post it up here, but if I haven't, then the boards would be the proper place to request that kind of information. This shouldn't be the place where people go to get original information from GMs, since it's not an official site. [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 14:40, 7 January 2006 (CST)
::Was more looking to see a general overview of pickpocket with those specific questions included. I'd assume someone out there has written up a "guide" or "overview" of some sort that includes that kind of information. Perhaps not. [[User:WELCHA|WELCHA]] 15:14, 7 January 2006 (CST)
:::Yeah, I don't think anyone has since PP changed for GS4, both because pickpocketing is something that people try not to draw attention to and because we've never released that information. [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 19:34, 7 January 2006 (CST)
::::Now someone has. Though, it took me a while to get around to asking, my most recent request kinda prompted the question. -[[User:BELATHUS|Belathus]] 22:45, 29 March 2006 (PST)
===Guild Maps===
I just made a map of the wizard guild in the landing, and can't find any place that it would be appropriate. Perhaps a maps section? or a wizard guild section could be started [[User:ALKALOIDS|ALKALOIDS]] 11:32, 29 January 2006 (PST)

: I'd say include it at [[Wizard Guild (Wehnimer's Landing)]]. Each guild is different enough that it makes enough sense to have a separate article for each linked from the main [[Wizard Guild]] article. you can upload the map to KP over on the left, the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] link. Also, just FYI, this would most likely have been better at the [[Krakiipedia:Village pump|Village Pump]] rather than the requests page. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] 11:26, 30 January 2006 (PST)

:: So, I planted some basic architecture over in [[:category:Profession Guilds|Guilds]]. Let me know if the sub-categorization is superflous, I tried to emulate the style which I observed over in [[:category:Spells|Spells]]. [[user:ULTHRIPE|Ulthripe]] 00:47, 1 February 2006 (PST)

:::I've learned how to make maps and just completed one for the Cleric's Guild but there isn't any link here for that Guild (too new maybe). I might create more if I can figure out how to share them. If anyone wants to create a link to the map, the url is https://home.comcast.net/~pimbrooke/IMT-ClericGuild.gif [[User:TASCHNERS|TASCHNERS]] 00:20, 28 January 2008 (EST)

===Organizations and Societies category===
Could we get a category added for a combined subcat listing of houses, orders and societies? My main goal is to have a place to put the order of Lorekeepers info, but it could also be where information on PROs, houses, voln and col go. - [[User:REN|Ren]] 3:22, 6 Febuary 2006 (EST)

: [[:Category:Societies]] already exists it looks like. In any case, categories don't have to be explcitly created. You just include <nowiki>[[Category:{categoryname}]]</nowiki> in an article, and the software handles everything else. I'd suggest CHEs and PROs being separated into their own categories, probably named [[:Category:Cooperative Houses of Elanthia]] and [[:Category:Player-Run Organizations]] respectively. These categories should probably be subcategories of [[:Category:World]]. I think a [[societies]] article exists already as well, could use one for [[Cooperative Houses of Elanthia]] and [[Player-Run Organizaions]]. If you want a page for the [[Order of Lorekeepers]], just make it there and include it in the world category I guess. I'm not sure if we really need a single encompasing category to contain all. - Oliver ([[User:Anshou|User]] | [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]]) 14:59, 6 February 2006 (PST)

I'd love to see the CHE influence system added here. - Ozias

===Staff List===
The last staff list has rolled off the boards, and I can't for the life of me find one. Is it possible to get a list of the known GM staff posted? [[User:Xygon|Xygon]] 11:08, 23 January 2007 (PST)
:Someone posted the list from last year just a couple weeks ago, I believe in the Discussion on Goals for 2007 topic. [[User:REBELAT|Rail]] 14:27, 23 January 2007 (EST)
:Found it [http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=102&category=8&topic=5&message=60 Right here.] [[User:REBELAT|Rail]] 14:30, 23 January 2007 (EST)
:I put the [[Gemstone IV staff list]] up here a few months ago...I've already had to edit it a whole bunch. I thought about keeping a list of former GMs somewhere, and what they had hands in, but...I guess that's what the history thingee is for. ~ [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 19:53, 10 December 2008 (EST)

===Cities and Towns===
Currently, there are two categories for these. Do you think it'll be better off to combine them into one category so all of the city/towns are in one category/page? [[User:ODINSON|ODINSON]] 04:24, 17 February 2007 (EST)

: Yes, I believe they should be combined. Additionally, new requests should be placed on the top of this page. Oh, and welcome to Krakiipedia! - [[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] [[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]] 17:23, 17 February 2007 (EST)

:: As is indicated by the descriptive text of [[:Category:Towns]], that particular category is only for player-accessible (i.e. areas implemented in the game that are mechanically considered a town.) The cities category is for, as one would expect, cities. You'll note that places like Wehnimer's Landing and Icemule Trace aren't included in the cities category, as they are not nearly large enough to qualify for that name. Basically, the Towns category already has every article it should ever have included in it, baring the addition of new town or town-like areas to GemStone. I'm not sure why the [[Citizenship]] article is in the towns category, but I'll find a better place for it. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 10:38, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Gswiki:Village pump/Archive 009

2014-09-24T20:55:38Z

Admin:

Welcome to the village pump, where anyone can say anything about whatever, and people can respond! Yeehaw! Remember to sign your comments by putting 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end.

== Reorganization ==
The site wasn't very well organized in terms of consistency in categories. I'm making an effort to get everything into cohesive layers of categories. Open up the [[:Category:River's Rest|River's Rest]] category and there are no longer almost 200 pages there, there are some pages that don't fit in sub categories that will remain in the RR category, but many of the pages have been only categorized under the subcategory, such as the Casler Huntington Storyline, or hunting areas, or Museum, it's still in process, I jump around.

I'm not exactly opposed to all-encompassing categories, but that didn't really exist in the first place, so I figure I'd put things in a sensible location before expanding if people think there is a need. There were also over 500 pages uncategorized and that has been cut to 30, mainly pages that are incomplete/abandoned efforts (not the tones, that I have a lot of additional recent info to add).

I have also reviewed the categories and tried to consolidate very similar ones or ones with one page. I have not touched categories having to do with creatures unless something seemed off (see [[troll wraith]]). I'm also paying special attention to the "Gemstone" group of categories that appear in the left navigation panel. I think these should be especially clean in terms of filtering information into the right subcategories as they are linked from every single page. For example, do we really need every wand listed in the Magic category? I think keeping them off the main Magic category page and in the Common Magical Items subcategory is more comprehensive.

For the saved posts, does every saved post really need its own page? Isn't it easier in a lot of cases to consolidate them under 1 page (e.g. [[Major Spiritual (saved posts)]]). This obviously doesn't fit for every post, but I like to see the progression of things rather than go digging for the next change. I think grouping and/or linking between the saved posts for one topic is extremely helpful. [[User:VANKRASN39|VANKRASN39]] 17:47, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

== How to Color Text ==

Hey, its been a long time since I've done serious work on Krakiipedia, and I forgot how to color text. I have some text I want to make red, and I thought it would be way too ghetto to just link them to a non-existant page, though if it comes to that, I will totally do that. Any tips? [[User:IRVINETOMOE|IRVINETOMOE]] 12:10, 6 September 2012 (EDT)

: <nowiki> red </nowiki> will make the text in between the span and /span red. I generally google any wiki formatting questions I have. Check these pages out for info and color numbering: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_colours. I think all of our wiki geeks who warred over wiki styles are gone, so unless you make an entire page hot pink font on a bright yellow background, use colors as you see fit. [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 15:13, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

:: Unfortunately, I'm working a table that has lots of different ways of showing special info already, including bolded text, underlined text, and the little cross symbol as well. I needed one more, and because it was a warning, so to speak, red seemed to make the most sense to me. Thanks for the info! If you have any further suggestions, you can see the table on the [[Minor Summoning (725)]] page. [[User:IRVINETOMOE|IRVINETOMOE]] 15:33, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
== We Need SysOps ==

So, as far as I can tell, we do not have any active SysOp accounts. The main thing that differs for a SysOp is the ability to move/delete pages and edit the main page. My policy has been to promote the most active contributors to this level when necessary, but I haven't really kept up on who has been doing what on KP in any significant capacity for a while, which is unfortunate. What this means is that I do not have a good idea of who contributes what or who might be interested in or appropriate for this responsibility.

So, how about this, you guys nominate yourselves and give a brief reason why. I'll look into the edit history of those nominated and as long as I don't see anything questionable, we should have a few more SysOps around. I'll check back in a week or so, since the new year is upon us.

All of this said, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributes to Krakiipedia. Without those contributions this place would be an empty shell with a clever name. You guys are the best.

(Man, I just reviewed this edit and scrolled down to see a similar message from 2008. That message is almost four years old. Wow. Still, I'm being sincere here, folks. Thank you very much for the work you all do.)

[[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 13:07, 30 December 2011 (EST)
:I'd be interested in being a SysOp. For one, it'd be nice to be able to clean-up (aka delete) after myself when I'm, f.ex., testing something. [[User:KAGE|KAGE]] 22:53, 4 January 2012 (EST)
::Kage would be a fine sysop, he's one of the most active editors around. --[[User:KANYDA|Drew]] 14:38, 9 January 2012 (EST)
:::Thank you, Drew. - [[User:KAGE|KAGE]] 15:46, 16 January 2012 (EST)
::Hey, I'll second that emotion. I know Kage would do an outstanding job. - [[User:SPYRIDONM1|Mark]] 22:33, 16 January 2012 (EST)
:::Thank you, Mark - [[User:KAGE|KAGE]] 06:13, 17 January 2012 (EST)
:This is a bit old, but I'd be a SysOp if you are still looking for some. [[User:DAID|DAID]] 02:17, 24 November 2012 (EST)

== New Users ==

Welcome to the few new users, yay! Apologies for taking forever to activate your accounts. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 13:07, 30 December 2011 (EST)
:Sure! Let the riff raff in, why don't'cha! I mean...ummm...hi! - [[User:KAGE|KAGE]] 01:19, 31 December 2011 (EST)

== User list by number of edits ==

Is there a way to sort the user list by number of edits? It'd be fun to see a list of them. [[User:KANYDA|Drew]] 15:51, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

== KP Skin ==

Does anyone actually use the KP skin option? This is something I added sometime close to the beginning of KP's existence, but haven't really had time or inclination to expand on. I've always thought that getting a nice, custom theme designed for KP should be done, but my skills just aren't up to snuff.

Just curious. [[User:Anshou|Oliver]] [[User talk:Anshou|Talk]] 12:07, 30 March 2010 (EDT)

:I've checked it out a couple of times, but...not really. On Wikipedia I do use this option, however: (User interface gadgets) Use a black background with green text on the Monobook skin. Love it. [[User:KAGE|KAGE]] 12:52, 30 March 2010 (EDT)

== Front page editing ==
The front page is looking a little stale, especially under the growing pains section. For instance the Ranger article is now pretty fully featured and I think it can safely be removed. In it's place might I suggest [[The Rift]] which is an article that could really benefit from expansion. (Also as an aside while I'm previewing this, it appears the 4 tilde signature is not working) 15:15, 2 September 2009 (EDT) ([[User:KANYDA]] )

: Hmm, let's test... Seemed it just now worked for me, the tilde signature. Maybe one of the SysOps may know more about it than me, though. [[User:DRIZZT-12|Adam]] [[User talk:DRIZZT-12|talk]] 17:54, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

::Maybe I'm just confused, on WP they use four tildes and two dashes and that puts the time and date and your user name. When I try it here four tildes puts just the time and date but no user name, I'll give it another shot.[[User:KANYDA|Drew]] 01:24, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

:::Seems to work now, hmm. I was on another computer and using NoScript, maybe that was the culprit. 01:25, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

:I switched out [[The Rift]] page for the [[Ranger]] page, and put some links into the current featured article page...more lively? [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 19:47, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

::Very nice. One other request could we get a front page link to http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Category:Legendary_Items somewhere on the front page? It's my favorite section and I know that of several other people, and one I'd like to encourage growth in. [[User:KANYDA|Drew]] 03:09, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

:::Another good suggestion! I added the link to the [[:Category:Legendary Items|Legendary Items]] category to the In-Universe category link, as well as the [[:Category:Storylines|Storylines]] category link because I'd like to see that fleshed out myself. [[User:MILQUETOAST|Becca]] 17:23, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

Help:Contents

2014-09-24T20:54:26Z

Admin: Created page with "==Introduction== Krakiipedia is the unofficial online encyclopedia of GemStone IV. While some GameMasters do ..."

==Introduction==
[[Krakiipedia:About|Krakiipedia]] is the [[Krakiipedia:General disclaimer|unofficial]] online encyclopedia of [[GemStone IV]]. While some [[GameMaster]]s do have editor privileges, the site is not affiliated with [[Simutronics]] and, while being considered a knowledgeable source, is not to be considered to be an official source. GemStone IV is an ever changing game and what a GameMaster says on the [http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/view Official Message Boards] will always overrule what is said here.

Krakiipedia is owned and operated by [[User:Anshou|Oliver]], who named the site after another character, [[Krakii]], whose player was knowledgeable about many different aspects of the game.

Despite the relative static state of the [[Main Page|homepage]], as of 2014 Krakiipedia is still very much being edited and added to by a handful of contributors. One can find information from the ins and outs of [[Ensorcell (735)]] to a [[:category:Guides|guide]] on [[The Art of the Bow (guide)|hunting with a bow]] to the latest news from [[Cross Into Shadows]], or even a [[:category:Songs|song]] about [[The Pickle Song|pickles]]. One can even find [[:category:Scripts|scripts]] to aid in playing the game.

==Editors==
The editors of this site are players like you. They are not infallible, they probably have jobs and other responsibilities, they love the game, and have been playing for many years. Editors do not receive compensation in any form for editing this site. See the [[Special:UserList|User List]] for the list of editors, whose handles correspond to their Play.net accounts (you may recognize some from the officials).

==On the Left==
On the left of your browser window you will see several sections containing easy access links to different pages, as well as a search box.

Of note in the '''navigation section''' is the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]] link. This page will tell you what pages have been worked on most recently, who made the changes, and any notes the editor put for that change. From this page you can also derive who are the active editors on the site. Should you find a page that contains outdated or misinformation, please feel free to email an author to inform him or her of the issue. The user names match the person's account on Play.net and thus the person can likely be reached at his/her (username)@play.net email address. This is also a good way to submit new articles if you do not have editor rights, which can be requested [[Krakiipedia:Becoming an editor|here]].

In the '''gemstone section''' you see links to different '''categories'''. Editors attempt to assign all pages to a category so that similar pages can be found as a group. You can see what category(ies) a page belongs to at the very bottom of that page in the shaded "Categories:" bar. Click on a category to see the other pages in that category. Categories can also include '''sub-categories''' with pages not listed on the main category page. This is done to avoid clutter.

All categories can be seen on the [[Special:Categories|Categories]] page, which is linked on the left in the '''miscellaneous section'''. You will see this is much more extensive than what is found in the gemstone category on the left. In using the categories search on that page, it is recommended to use on the first few letters of the category you are looking for to avoid any issues with the category search being case sensitive.

The '''search box''' will either take you directly to a page if you know the name (case sensitive) using the Go button, or allow you to search for a term. If the page does not exist as you entered it and a redirect does not exist, the site will be searched instead. '''Redirects''' are used to forward users from one page name to another. They can be useful if a particular article is referred to by multiple names, or has alternative punctuation, capitalization or spellings. Thus if you are looking for information on a spell and you only know the number you can enter the spell number in the search and "Go" and you will be redirected to the spell's proper page. You can go directly to category pages by entering "Category:(category name)" in the search box without the quotation marks. Krakiipedia has about twice as many redirect pages as actual pages, so every page has approximately two redirects. See below for more specific search tips.

Another tool besides categories for finding related or semi-related pages is the '''What links here link''' in the toolbox below the search bar. Here one will see a list of all the pages that link to that particular page as well as a list of redirect pages and what pages link to those redirect pages.

==At the Top==
At the top of any page you will see tabs.

The '''page tab''' is always bolded and you can click on that tab to return to the page view.

The '''discussion tab''' includes any discussion among editors specific to that page. You will notice that this tab is often red, and that means that there is no discussion, or that the discussion took place off site (e.g. via AIM or email).

The '''view source tab''' will allow you to see the Wiki code for that page. Some editors have taken the time to become more familiar with Wiki coding and thus there are some pages that have been more highly developed visually than others.

Finally, the '''history tab''' will show the revision history of the page including the date of the revision, who made it, the size the page grew to at that point, and any note the editor made in the editing summary. You can click on the (cur) (prev) links to see how that revision compared to the current page or the revision immediately preceding it, respectively. To compare two versions that are not adjacent or current, select one revision's left radio button (the available radio buttons will change), and another revision's right radio button, and then click the "compare selected revisions" button at the top or bottom of the list. The comparison shows the Wiki code of the two revisions side by side with changes in red and a visual rendering of the more recent page below.

==Search Tips==
*Page names and thus searches on Krakiipedia are case sensitive beyond the first word.
*Magical items: pages do not typically begin with "a," "an," "a vial of," "a handful of," etc. To find information for "a metal wand" search for "[[metal wand]];" to find information on "a handful of deathstone granules" search "[[deathstone granules]]."
*To go directly to an alchemy formula page for a spell that has one, searching for "alchemy (spell #)" will redirect to the proper page.

==Krakiipedia and [[The Lich|Lich]]==
There is a script in Lich one can download called Krakii (<big><tt>;repository download krakii</tt></big> to download). With this script you can <big><tt>;krakii (page name)</tt></big> to pull up that page in your story window. This is especially handy when finding treasure system items that you are unsure of or looking up [[in character]] days and months, which have been crossed referenced so that <big><tt>;krakii [[tuesday]]</tt></big> will tell you that Tuesday in Elanthian [[:category:time|time]] is Tilamaires.

==For Editors==
Here are a few articles that might help you when editing Krakiipedia.
