Talk:Spell Collection Guide (scroll infusion)

Another famous guide has been added to the wonderful knowledge base which is Krakiipedia! (with the express permission of the original author, of course) I would like to take opinions on how folks feel about the 'saved post' format I've used. I also did not link up all the spells because I thought it was overkill, but its not much work and I'm happy to do it if deemed appropriate. ULTHRIPE 01:27, 23 January 2006 (PST)

Is the guide here just to document his guide, or did you want to make it a real page? As a real page, we should probably move it to Scroll Infusion (guide) or Scroll Infusion (spell collection), but then it would be subject to the ups and downs of the Wiki process, and I don't know if Evarin is interested in that. Either way, linking the spell numbers would probably be a good idea (note that you can just link the number, that'll be a redirect to the spell).

Originally, I had just intended to document his guide here. I dont see any reason it cant or shouldn't be wikified, and Evarin has agreed to whatever that entails already. I guess I was wondering if people thought this format was agreeable or if the entirety of the information should be re-organized/re-written. Thank you for the title suggestions, I had a tough time naming it because its NOT a 714 guide in the 'how to use the spell' sense. I've also considered converting it into a table as well. Anyways, I think I'm just trying to get an idea of how other users think this page should take shape. ULTHRIPE 14:55, 23 January 2006 (PST)

As some of you may have noticed, I (Evarin) have gained access to this entry. I have been working with it as best I can, though my knowledge of Wikipedia formatting is rudimentary at best. Does anyone have a basic formatting guide of which they could post a link? Expect continued updates and reformatting. - Evarin and his Mis'ri

Most of us call it MediaWiki formatting, as MediaWiki is the name of the software we're using, but that's neither here nor there. Wikipedia actually has a helpful "Quick Guide to Editing" that you may find handy, though it is very basic. For information on other topics, such as tables, you'll have to look at specific locations. I've learned a bit about editing on WikiMedia.org and MediaWiki.org, though that was more detailing information involving the CSS pages that I can do nothing with due to my lack of admin access, in addition to installing plugins for MediaWiki, though there is a much larger list of helpful articles here. Oh, and to properly sign your name at the end of an article, use four tildes (Like this: ~~~~). Personally, if you really want to get real time help with Krakiipedia, specifically, I suggest you join the #gemstone channel on irc.resequenced.net. Yes, that is an IRC chatroom, which can also be accessed at http://www.resequenced.net/gs4/irc/. I would say that Krakiipedia is a rather common topic of conversation, there, so you won't be out of place asking. This chatroom isn't a secret, I swear. It's on the Main Page. -Andy ^talk 20:35, 20 September 2006 (EDT)

Thank you for the information. I am just about finished with this page, unless anyone has additional improvements they would like to suggest. I am noticing many of the Cleric spells do not have their own page, nor does any of the Paladin spells. I fixed a few that were dead links due to misnomers. The only thing I would like to do now is figure out a good format for the ...format of the spell information key. I tried to put it in a table, though I couldn't figure the whole table system out.

Spell number - //// "Spell name" //// (non)Stackable/Refreshable status: //// Base duration + spell rank bonus //// (Spell effect) //// Availability

That is the line. If anyone wants to E-mail me with a Pre-coded version of that line that would 1. Put it in a table, 2. Put it beneath the Contents box, but before the first section heading, 3. Make it look pretty. SARDINUS
