Not sure I agree that giving the source of material which is not part of the Play.net webpages themselves, but which comes off the boards, is unnecessary. Not a big deal to me, but the heights are something on which I think the source is valuable info. [[User:CARABELE|carabele]] 01:57, 30 December 2006 (EST) |

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. --[[User:SUGARBOY234554|SUGARBOY234554]] 13:39, 23 September 2006 (EDT) |

Hey, before I go to town changing too many more of these spell articles to utilize the changes I made to the spell template, I wanted to ask your opinion on said template. On this issue, I'd rather still make an attempt to come to an agreement, seeing as we've disagreed in the past. As such, I would really like to hear your input. - [[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] <sup>[[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]]</sup> 03:36, 24 January 2007 (EST) |

Hi! I just joined and I'm not too familiar with the template controls. I was wondering how to modify the creature defense/abilities template to add on the Voln Fu [[MB]] section. Check out the addition I made for [[arch wight]]s. Can I modify the template? How would I modify the template? [[User:KEIICHI13X|Steve]] <sup>[[User talk:KEIICHI13X|talk]]</sup> 2 August 2007 |

Just a quick question: Why are we getting rid of the redirected articles? [[User:BELATHUS|BELATHUS]] 11:18, 13 January 2006 (CST) |

There were some people that didn't want me to add infomation about their tribes in fear that someone else might decide to pick up the tribe. I never intended on copying information, and I haven't done so since I realized that I couldn't. However, copyright wise, I highly doubt I'd have a problem with writing about someone's tribe, I just don't want to do so if they do not want that information to be spread. -[[User:BELATHUS|BELATHUS]] 05:40, 14 January 2006 (CST) |

== Botty Botterson == |
|||
Yeah, I could probably hack together something. I could just make it interactive so it requires me to confirm any additions, that would be the safest thing. I think that's what I'll do, in fact. I'll work on it tomorrow or something. [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 00:16, 18 January 2006 (CST) |
|||
== Copyrights == |
|||
Yeah, I could see that being useful. They do use them basically entirely on images, I believe. If we go with that, I'd suggest having the policy that they be located at the top of the talk page rather than in the article itself, since that should keep the information available but not make it obnoxious. - [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 08:33, 25 January 2006 (PST) |

I took a look around, and I didn't see anything that references the GFDL anymore. Which is good, since if we're including that stuff in here then we shouldn't be automatically putting stuff under the GFDL. I don't know if there might be anywhere that it's still mentioned, though. - [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 09:19, 25 January 2006 (PST) |

I was entertained by how ridiculously different the first one is from the rest. It's 75,000% faster than the next closest option. (Gigabyte just released a "hard drive" that uses RAM as its storage medium, so it's stupid-fast to do stuff like random access). Here's another: |

== Categories == |
|||
Hey, I saw a neat thing on WP today. You can change what title something goes under in a category by doing something like <nowiki>[[Category:Skills|This is the page title]]</nowiki>. Most useful is you can add an article for a category (like adding [[Arkati]] to [[:Category:Arkati]]) and force it to appear at the top by doing <nowiki>[[Category:Arkati| ]]</nowiki>. - [[User:Ildran|Ildran]] 20:02, 25 January 2006 (PST) |

I wondered about putting the spell lists on the circle pages, but after I did the first one I realized I could just cut and paste them out of the webpage and have Excel do all the formatting for me, so it was painless to do the rest. Let me know if you'd like me to remove them and I will. Thanks! [[User:KYRE104|Kyre]] 16:36, 9 February 2006 (PST) |

== Response: Creature Articles == |
|||
I moved them because nearly every page that had a link to a creature (IE. the [[Troll]] article) treated them as if they were proper nouns, and since they are the name of a creature (not much different from the name of a skill) I figured you'd feel that they'd be better capitolized. It was a discussion I had, as well, with a few others. Originally, I told the creator of those articles to make them improper. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] <sup>[[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]]</sup> 15:48, 8 April 2006 (PDT) |

== Ranger Spell Articles == |

Yeah, I was going to go back through and edit them. But I wanted to get the basics down for the general look of them so they would all be concise and consistent with each other. -Adam |

== Weight Modifiers == |
|||
Hey. I was going to put up a working list/table of the weight modifiers for all the different metals and the base weight of each ASG of armor if they were to be using them. But I can't think of an appropriate article title to use and what category it should go in? Any suggestions? [[User:DRIZZT-12|DRIZZT-12]] 18:14, 3 May 2006 (PDT) |
|||
Okay. I'll just do that then. Although I'm going to wait for GM Stealth to post on the forums about whether or not he was able to get an "official" list of their weight modifiers and if he can release the information. [[User:DRIZZT-12|DRIZZT-12]] 21:47, 3 May 2006 (PDT) |

==Greetings!== |
|||
Hey, I'll extend to you the same invitation we make all the other people that contribute quite a bit: if you want you can come join most of the major contributors (Andy, Ulthripe, April, and I) in the IRC chat: irc.resequenced.net::6667, channel #gemstone which can be accessed [http://www.resequenced.net/gs4/irc/ here]. We basically just talk about KP in there anymore. It's a good place to pop in and ask us for opinions or a couch to crash on or whatever. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] <sup>[[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]]</sup> 20:17, 6 September 2006 (EDT) |
|||
== Editing User Pages == |
|||
Fair enough. I take it that 'rule' doesn't extend to the character page of a user? For instance, if I was familiar with the character [[Alisaire]], could I add details regarding her to that page since it's awfully barren? Naturally assuming any content I did add followed the usual rules for articles (IUPOV, non-biased, factual observations, etc.). |
|||
On a lighter note, did we not miss KP's one-year anniversary? Would it be out of the question to gather in the IRC and celebrate with virtual cocktails? Not that we don't usually do that anyways, but it would be nice to get some of the sysops and contributors 'together' for such a momentous occasion. I'm big on that whole feeling of community, apparently. [[User:ULTHRIPE|<sub>who is</sub>]] '''Ulthripe''' [[User talk:ULTHRIPE|<sup>reads this</sup>]] 03:08, 4 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
:Adding my own voice, actual character pages should fall in the same domain as any other article on the KP. [[User:REBELAT|Rail]] 10:36, 4 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
== Bot Request == |
|||
I figured I'd try to put this request in again, since you seem to have had something more important come up when I requested this through AIM. I would like to create a bot account for the purpose of automatically updating the spell pages with the new [[:Category:Spell Templates|spellbox templates]] that Ulthripe and I have been working on. I believe that such a bot would simplify our work load in this endeavor, maintain the navigational template's identification identical to the article's identification of the spell (IE. utility, offensive, defensive, attack), and allow us to move on to something else much sooner. Additionally, I know there is interest in grepping the appropriate data from Play.net and applying it to our creature pages, ensuring the accuracy of our current creature pages and creating new blank-slate creature templates for the remaining creatures that we've yet to work on. No, this won't be a direct copying of Play.net's articles, but merely taking the basic creature statistics and applying the appropriate categories (IE, undead, level, location, etc.) to the pages, thus simplifiying the editor's job. Additionally, having a bot account would allow us to make quick changes (IE, moving a category, like I did with the stats category to the statistic category) much simpler rather than editing every page in the old category manually. I see a lot of potential, here, and if done with a seperate account, one could quickly identify any possible errors that might result by isolating and undoing the bot's edits. Additionally, I've set up my own Wiki so that I can test the bot on it prior to running it on KP to reduce such risk. -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] <sup>[[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]]</sup> 15:45, 4 December 2006 (EST) |

: I'd like to request a bot account as well, as I've got the entire bestiary from play.net pretty much ready to come up onto KP. So we'll have a full bestiary browsable by many different categories, and that will be just, let me say, awesome. Awhile back when we were discussing creatures and how to categorize them by level or something you mentioned that you were working on some zomgawesome way of grouping them by category. If that's true, would you mind sharing what that is? If it's a half-done idea or something, it'd be very nice to let me know now. Otherwise we have what should be a really nice way of grouping them by level range. I'll tell you about it if you want. If I don't get a response today on it, I'll probably have the bestiary all the way done this evening, and probably upload it tonight. So this is like a "please let me know one way or another in the next 12 hours plea." It doesn't even need to be a long and time-consuming response (since I know you're very busy etc). I'll be in the IRC or on AIM (aconitum99) if you wanna chat about it. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] <sup>[[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]]</sup> 10:45, 6 December 2006 (EST) |

:: Well, I've learned that even though I've become a SysOp, there are still a number of things that I cannot do. One of which is create accounts, which would've satisfied this particular request. So... we're still pending on this one. Thanks! -[[User:BELATHUS|Andy]] <sup>[[User talk:BELATHUS|talk]]</sup> 21:23, 6 December 2006 (EST) |

==Parser functions== |
|||
When I was putting together some templates, I found that it's not currently possible to manipulate the variables that are passed around to templates etc. I was able to work around this and can solve my problem without it, but it lends confusion and a lack of concision, blah blah blah. If we could do math in our code, that would be great. I poked around and found [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions ParserFunctions module!] Any chance we could get that installed?
