Is there any way to do wildcard matches with DFRawFunctions? I was going to add all the humanoid creature variations (HUMANOID_HOOF, the zillion different numbers of limbs each type can have, etc.), but if there's any way to just search for any body tag that begins "HUMANOID_", that would be infinitely preferable.--Zzedar (talk) 23:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I couldn't find any creatures that had tags like those, but something like this:
{{#rsplit:{{#df_tagentry:{{/raw}}|BODY|0|1|NOT_HUMANOID}}|_|0}}
should give you "HUMANOID" or something else, which can then be checked with #ifeq:
{{#ifeq:{{#rsplit:{{#df_tagentry:{{/raw}}|BODY|0|1|NOT_HUMANOID}}|_|0}}|HUMANOID|1|0}}
where 1=yes, 0=no. --Lethosor (talk) 00:24, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Example: Antman - 1, Cat - 0, Ettin - 1
Implemented. Thanks for the idea. --Lethosor (talk) 00:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Uh-oh... barn owls should definitely not be included in this. The #switch may have been a better way to determine this after all. Thoughts? --Lethosor (talk) 00:32, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Looks like a lot of birds use HUMANOID_ARMLESS. On the other hand, so do crab men. I guess we could exclude (armless + 2 wings), but that's awfully hacky. Let's take a step back. What is the purpose of this category? I mean, what attributes of humanoidness do we care about that it's worth making a category for them? We should just check those.--Zzedar (talk) 00:54, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
I'd say this category should just be animal men or obviously humanoid creatures (ettins, humans, etc.). I'm not sure of an easy (non-hacky) way to do this either, but I'll take another look at the raws. --Lethosor (talk) 00:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
That's going to just be the intelligent/learning creatures plus the bronze colossus, isn't it?--Zzedar (talk) 01:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
