Image CategoriesEdit

This is a military installation rather than a lighthouse, although we already have established place types. It would probably be better categorized as "Online-Unmarked Location Images". —Legoless (talk) 04:16, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I might create a category for military installations which that would fit into better. My main goal was to break up the Place Images category, because 3000+ images in 1 category was not very useful. I also didn't want to have a bunch of categories with only a handful of images, which is why I lumped lighthouses in with ships and shipyards, etc. I'm pretty sure that IS a lighthouse, though maybe not for ships. There's a quest that involves lighting it, isn't there? That would make it a signal tower I suppose, but the concept is the same. It is getting harder to classify stuff at this level, but an "Unmarked Location Images" category is not the answer - that would simply result in another giant catch-all category of otherwise completely unrelated images. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
It's been a few years admittedly but I don't think you light the signal fires in the watchtower itself. Might be better off in Category:Online-Keep Images? —Legoless (talk) 18:40, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Keep Images is specifically for locations in Cyrodiil. I think I'll just create one for Forts at some point and put it there. There's still a lot of uncategorized forts that would go well there. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 18:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

"No man."Edit

Thanks Lurlock. Just seeing that on the RC made me giggle. I leave you with this wiki-esque wisdom: "No man is an island." —likelolwhat talk lulzy to me 19:19, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Glad my error (and subsequent corrections) brought amusement to somebody. Thought about making one of them "No man is a fish", but thought better of it. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 02:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Champion ChartsEdit

Do you know if there is some mathematical equation behind those numbers, or are they all pulled raw? If there's an equation involved, we may be able to template it so there's not piles of raw numbers all over the place.

I'm assuming the empty columns are for separation? If so, that can be done cleanly with a rowspan from the header (as on the XP chart). --Enodoc (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

The numbers are pulled raw. I imagine there is an equation, but I don't know how to go about finding it. I noticed that there are only 6 possible charts, that go to 16, 18, 24, 25, 33, and 240, which is why I made sub-pages in order to transclude onto all of the individual pages. A rowspan could work, I suppose. I'll look into doing it that way, though the way it currently is makes the chart easier to read while editing... — TheRealLurlock (talk) 19:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I've found the equations (I think). It seems Dave has already extracted them, and they're in the database. Shall I put together a math template for them?
For ease of editing, you could use a nested table like on Maps, as for that one, each row is below the previous when editing, and displayed tidily side-by-side when viewing. --Enodoc (talk) 20:08, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm just putting the data up there. If you have a more concise method that produces the same data, by all means use it. For now though, I'll just put this up there. We can always change it later. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Quick QuestionEdit

Hi, I saw that you are currently active so I've just got a quick question to ask. In the Archive-Uncategorized, what needs to be done to make a page categorized? I'm not sure what causes a page to be in this category or what needs to be done to remove it, so would you please be able to tell me? :) AlphaAbsol (talk) 01:04, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, you just put my talk page into that category, fixed now. Basically, all you have to do is put in the category just like it's a link, e.g. [[Category:Online]]. If you put a pipe after it, you can control how the page will be sorted in that category, e.g. [[Category:Online|Llama]]. If you want to make a link to a category but not put the page into that category, do what I just did to your post, add a : before the word "Category". That's the basics. There are some templates that add categories automatically, and the Uncategorized category is special in that it includes pages which do not have any categories but probably should. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 01:09, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I was mainly asking about archive categories but I now realise how those work, and your advice about how to simply link to a category is appreciated as well, I didn't know that. AlphaAbsol (talk) 01:12, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
