Interests within / about Elanthia

The wizard profession, and associated skills and spells. Technical discussions about Mac OSX, Lich, Front Ends and Macros / Scripting.

Template / article design for GSWiki. Elves - with a specific but unmentioned focus.

To do list

Templates

• Evaluate use of 'Help file' style template, assess if it should become a template
• In April, begin discussion on whether or not InputBox has a standard play to generate 'Talk' information.
  • First, find a way to overload placement, so that it isn't at the bottom, but at the top
  • Second, define risk
• Need an improved format / template for scripts
• Need a format / template for Game Entry (OS) help type information

Regions

• Sort out in-game regions for GSWiki.
• Confer on proper categorization / layout to visually show regions on GSWiki.

Climates

• Identify all possible climates in-game.
• Find way to visually show climates on GSWiki.

Terrain

• Identify all possible terrain in-game.
• Find way to visually show terrain on GSWiki.

Longer term projects

• Incorporate regions, climates, terrain and associated display with forage and maps.
• Update herbs, woods, and appropriate forage-able items with appropriate information about where to find.

Questions

• Is there a possibility of fumbling a check in the forage cascade?
• Can InputBox be incorporated to search local page lists?
• How do I best to incorporate script / macro submissions from users?

Activities Completed

Images at Risk for Deletion

Hello, DOUG. You recently uploaded several images to the wiki, File:Dion Headshot.png, File:Dion In The Scatter.png, and File:Dion in Town.png that are missing some information required by Gswiki:Policy. Thank you for identifying the images as being generated with AI software and for including the name of the software. All three images are missing the following information:

• Who created the image?
• If that person is not you, was permission granted by the artist to upload it?
• Since AI imaging software was used to generate it, [[Category:AI artwork]] must be in the image description for inclusion in Category:AI artwork.

Please see Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights for more information about the image policy and its requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki. This information needs to be all images uploaded to the Gswiki as well as on all articles using them. In addition, all images using AI software in their creation are required to be included in Category:AI artwork. All articles using a moderator-flagged image will also need to have their captions updated to include this required information.

If you need examples on how to do this, Gswiki:Style guide/Images has copy/paste code examples for different image types. If you need instructions on how to do each step, Help:Images goes into detail on how to edit image files and how to display them with captions on articles.

If that information is not added within 7 days, any moderator-flagged images will deleted from the wiki. Please do not remove the {{moddelete}} template from any flagged image file. Another moderator or I will remove that template after your updates have been reviewed to ensure that they meet Gswiki:Policy requirements. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone Discord forum's wiki thread. Thank you for understanding. HOST-GSKEBECHET (talk) 09:07, 28 April 2026 (CDT)
