Hi,
== color changes ==


I needed to let you know a technical quirk about editing templates for the future, anytime a change is made to a widely used template like {{tl|Intro}}, the mediawiki software adds a task to the job cue to update every page that uses the template. As a consequence if a bunch of edits are quickly made to a widely used template it can add hundreds of thousands of tasks to the job cue, many of them redundant or outdated.
No problem about changing the skill template. I have been trying to update old wiki styles as I come across them. Long term, I want a unified style with some updated CSS, but for now readability is what matters. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] ([[User talk:An Adventurer|talk]]) 17:56, October 29, 2018 (UTC)


Since we do need to edit heavily used templates from time to time, the way to minimize the effect is to first test the changes using {{tl|Sandbox}}. You just copy the entire code for the page of the template you want to change into the sandbox page ([[:Template:Sandbox]]) and then test the effect of the changes on another page by referring to it as Sandbox instead of Intro of whatever the name of the real template is. Once you're satisfied with your changes you can copy the sandbox code back into the real template page, that way there's only a single edit to load into the job cue.

P.S. And thanks for getting all of those to display nicely in the same space, I beat my head against the wall for a while on that one and ended up just making them exclusive as a stopgap.

Hey Bob, I used to make edits on the acpedia site back before the game went down.  I've been looking into possibly coming back and was interested in getting some status regarding the wiki.  So at some point editing was moved back over here to fandom?  Did content that was added to acpedia get moved back over? 
 
On acpedia, my screen name was [http://acpedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Darkmurkrow darkmurkrow].  I'm also on the GDLE Discord channel as FlyingRagnar.  Please let me know what the best way to get in touch is.
