Thanks for the tip about not adding quest items to the Bonded category - is it the same for the Attuned category or does this only apply to Bonded? (I don't see the same kind of note under Bonded)
Hey thanks for the message.  I apologize for not reviewing the updated content policy beforehand. I should have known something was up when I encountered something out of the ordinary. 


Also it sure would be nice to just have a 'Quest Item' category instead of just dumping them all into 'Item' - what do you think? --[[User:RyanR|RyanR]] 22:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
As someone who contributed to acpedia before the end of retail, it is hard to use the wiki without wanting to make updates.  The wiki was obviously far from perfect at the end of retail, and there is a lot I would like to add to and/or clean up when playing the game, but I also understand its role as a "artifact" of the state of the game at the end.

I sent you a friend invite over on Discord using my account there (Flying Ragnar).  I've messaged with ImmortalBob there a few times.  Thanks again for the work you have done over years on the wiki(s) and for maintaining the many data dumps.  Maybe someday a better option for preserving the old while updating for new will come up.  [[User:Pagoda|Pagoda]] ([[User talk:Pagoda|talk]]) 03:08, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'm [[w:User:Zacatero|Zacatero]], and I represent Fandom's [[w:Help:Vanguard|Vanguard]] volunteer team. We help communities adopt to new technologies and features and to improve their technical performance. We have spotted some code issues on this wiki that I’d like to make fixes to, which should not break anything further nor affect the wiki content.


The edits that show up are replace text edits. This function uses its own unique permission type and it overrides the bot one so shows up. I've configured it so only bot accounts have access to this tool. It allows you to replace text across the entire wiki. While logged on a bot account the [[:Special:ReplaceText]] link will appear on [[:Special:SpecialPages]].
If you have any questions, or this is the wrong venue for this kind of a discussion, please let me know. Thanks! {{raw:w::User:Zacatero/Signature}} 20:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC)


You enter the text to find, what to replace it with, then hit Continue and a message indicating how many undifferentiated instances there are (places where the new text already exists), hit continue and a list of all the instances will display with a check box by each one. Hitting Replace will then load all of the instances into the Job cue (that were still check boxed). The cue does a replace every time someone uses the wiki (to balance out the load on the server) until all the requested changes have been processed.

I'm almost done changing the icon files (done A to S) and will be running it again when done to change the icon to Icon on individual pages (maybe, there may be too many so may need to whittle the number down some first).--[[User:Tlosk's Bot|Tlosk's Bot]] 19:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I've been tasked by Fandom to fix things up if you would just like me to go ahead and do it. But if you'd prefer to try to fix things yourself, there is actually a guide that was recently created, available at https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:FandomDesktop_conversion_guide [[User:ProfessorTofty|ProfessorTofty]] ([[User talk:ProfessorTofty|talk]]) 22:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 
:Yes, I would be glad to fix up the issue you mentioned and anything else related to the theme that I come across. It should be finished by sometime this Sunday at the latest, unless I come across anything that would delay me. I'll keep you posted.

This is the first of three stages, where I get the bulk of the data in place using tools. The second will be editing individual spell pages, most will be redirects categorized as creature spell, unlearnable spell, etc. Some will have their own page when they have additional information that's important (related quests, etc). Ones with their own page will have a prominent link to the list page for stacking info. Also in the second stage I'll be deleting the generic Cantrip pages (all spells of a given effect are now listed on the same list page, and the individual spell redirects will be themselves categorized at cantrip, this way they will show up individually by name on the category page).
 
After initially including tapers, I discovered that there are discrepancies in game and in fact there aren't nonpersonal tapers (colors in the supposedly fixed taper position that differ from those given in the portal.dat info). Those can be added if anyone wants to though (the {{tl|Spell Formula}} template allows you to just insert tapers or empty spaces as desired). Since it's no longer possible to enter component information to learn a new spell though it's not something that I'll be doing myself.
 
The learnable information will be added in the third stage (this data is metadata so will have to be done by hand for each spell), I'm toying with the idea of linking to scrolls (with the respective icon) for those, and making special icons for monster only, item only, or quest learned that would each link to something appropriate for that particular spell.
 
There's about 5000 spells so I should be done in another day or two. The tables and rows are templates to make adjustments as painless as possible so if you think of any more suggestions let me know. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 15:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 
:Also we'll need to overhaul the [[Spells]] page once this is all done and I was thinking of making a prominent section there about focii and prismatic formulas instead of repeating them on every single spell. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 15:18, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
