You don't need to mark a page for deletion to break that redirect chain. Just move the proper page yourself. --Eagle0600 06:46, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know I could overwrite existing pages. --Iffonox 09:31, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, you don't neat to link {{L|X|Xs}}, just {{L|X}}s. Seriously, it's easier to edit. --Eagle0600 07:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I just prefer {{L|X|Xs}} and [[X|Xs]] over {{L|X}}s and [[X]]s. I think it looks cleaner. --Iffonox 09:31, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Sharks

Nice work on all the shark articles! --Briess 12:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I just reviewed and slightly modified the pages and probably haden't done them all without GiantTiger11's creation of the shark page. --Iffonox 12:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Tracer.js

Because I don't know where else to ask this:
What is Tracer.js [1] (it's in the last line of the page source of every page here) good for aside from spamming my browser history, messing with copy and paste and sending almost every thing I copy (just pressing ctrl+c) to their servers? --Iffonox 14:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Seems like its for this VengefulDonut 14:58, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hm, the information about tynt was added 3 days ago, that explains why I didn't know about it. --Iffonox 07:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your most recent edits

I saw you were adding the creature raws to the sidebar, I don't think you should do that right now, as Briess is currently trying to figure out where to put the raws. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=54970.msg1189340#msg1189340 Might want to wait. --Tarran 07:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

No, that's fine, as what he's doing is putting the raws in a subpage. The sidebar stuff I can alter through the dom, the raws have to be moved in order to work. --Briess 07:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Now after I moved some of the game data, I think it would be easier if a bot would do the rest as there are still at least 500 more pages to do (creatures, vermin, stone, metal in 3 namespaces). It could even add of all plants and trees to the wiki. It could do it like that (pseudocode):
   foreach $file in creature_* do
       foreach $creature in $file do
           createWikiPage name=$creature->name."/raw", content=$creature

I already know of one reason why putting them in in a subpage is a bad idea - users who click the "Random page" link in the navigation menu to the left will occasionally be directed to said subpages, which is quite useless. I know because I (and by "I" I mean "several of the admins, myself included") made the exact same mistake on another wiki (namely, the KoL wiki, which used "/data" pages to store stuff like item images and special plural forms for easy inclusion by various templates - in the end, we put them in their own namespace). --Quietust 12:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
We're going to see about a single (or multiple) consolidated raw pages per version, I believe. Don't worry about the raw pages, I've fixed the random page SQL query so it won't pull up /raw pages until we figure this out. --Briess 13:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
