  Item List is now complete, now working on item hard statistics... ^_^

  You're damn right greedisgood!

  Oh yeah, if others aren't too fond of the format, feel free to change it up. But leave the item hard statistics alone for the time being though, until I'm finished with that. ^_^

Stop making a topic each time you add something -.-;;
Thank you for making the pages though.

Damn, I didn't expect someone to spend a whole day entering every item stat into the wiki at once. Was just hoping various people would all add a little bit every so often.

Greatly appreciated, thanks. Format will get changed inevitably, but just having the raw data already there is extremely helpful.

  Well I got the items section more than 90% done. Take a look see! There's one I didn't do, Something did Bottle of Ooze for me. So it's pretty much safe to format away at it!^_^

Currently working on a little unit stats template for people to use since I saw you adding pages with each units stats. Think that's a bit overkill with too many pages ;P

  Well, I would have to say Black Dragon's Heart took the most work to do. I did that as a preliminary synergy to the Units sections, I just now added, and will start working on that in time. Oh yeah, whoever changed it to "Armies" from "Structures/Units", is a good idea, I couldn't come up with a good section name for it. ^_^

My friend Yuriy (the Russian mind-control guy) supplied me with a little parser hack to make this even easier. Now you can just make a link to the wiki in exactly the same way as if you were on the wiki!

All you need is two left brackets ([) and then whatever you want to link to, and then two right brackets (]). You can even do piped links: Add a little pipe thingie (|) in between the thing you want to link to, and the stuff to the left of it will form the link, and the stuff to the right of it will form the anchor text people see for the link.

so

Code: Select all

Since most of the wiki entries have a table of stats associated with them, is it possible to have a popup of the table when you mouseover the link? Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant of web development...

Here's an example of something similar:

It might be possible by using whatever methods Wikipedia's navigation popups use, but I would have no idea how to adapt the code from them, let alone program something from scratch.

You could ask the owners of the forum you linked to what they use.

Well, the whole thing is coded by the operator of the site, who has run it since 1999, so no quick/easy fix there. I'll make a thread about it and see if I can get some good answers.
