Welcome Back
Welcome back to the wiki! Sorry again for the original mix up and the bug that made the block persist after I unblocked you.

I noticed that you are working on a guide. Is there is anything you'd like to suggest as far as templates, such as new ones or simplifying old ones, or things to include in a guide about writing guides? I'm in the process of trying to make guide writing more friendly for community members who are less experienced with wiki markup. I made Item build recently, but I just realized a version that showed build order rather than the final result would probably be helpful. -- Sigil Baram (talk) 14:21, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, one suggestion regarding those templates is a really straightforward suggestion -- creating an example guild that shows exactly what each template does. So, using  tags to first simply specify the use of a particular template and then showing the result by repeating the same example but without   . I think you know what I mean. Other than that some automation could be considered for the templates but that is quite an arduous task indeed. What I mean by automation is to have, for example, the ability template not take custom arguments (the editors needing to write the names of the abilities themselves and such) but to simply take short arguments as parameters and creating a look-up table of some sort to retrieve the relevant information. That way you would have consistency across the board and across patches.


 * I'm going to put together guides on how to use the various templates and such once I get some of template work done. Some of the templates have documentation on their template page along those lines, while others don't. I'm going to work on filling those out as well. I was actually working on putting each god's skill information into Semantic-MediaWiki properties, using Skill, so that it could be easily referenced on other pages which is how Item build is working. Skill tooltip shows some of that, although it isn't as finished as the items. That template is more meant to be used inside other templates, like how Item tooltip is used in Item build which is why the usage markup is more complicated. Once that skill stuff is done Skillbuild would only require the god's name and the progression info rather than needing to enter the skill names. It would also be able to show skill tooltips with the skill description and such when the user hovered over the icons. Sigil Baram (talk) 14:51, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
