Template talk:ManuelEntry

From A KoL Wiki

I don't really have the wiki-fu to do it, but would it be possible to add a little space between the name + description and the attack defense hp values? As they are right now the attack value, if it's 3 digits or above, tends to blend into the name. It's not really a huge problem, well.. unless it blends the numbers into the name of the 1337 haxor, or the 7 foot dwarf foreman, but I do believe it would be a bit more pleasing to the eye.--Serin 10:49, 20 September 2012 (CEST)

wiki-fu, we need you

  • so, idly wandering the wiki my database-admin-shaped brain notices a tiny amount of duplication. this template has the three monster fighting stats on it, and this data is also on the monster's data page. the obvious solution would be to remove them from here an perform a lookup there to create this page. which means, if you're already doing a lookup, you could store the factiods with the monster too. which, in turn, would mean that the monster data pages could self-categorise as being incomplete. which, as the number of missing factoids approaches zero asymptotically, would be rather useful. that is, if there are 10k monsters (i'm rounding up) and four have missing factoids, we need a mechanism to identify them other than the ocd of our editors. which is profound and frightening and very much appreciated, but should not be relied upon. both the editing down and up tasks could be botted, although i'm not saying i could bot them. Q, F? any ideas? --Evilkolbot 13:53, 24 September 2012 (CEST)
    • Good idea - in fact, this would allow further optimizing this template to operate like an infobox rather than fetching individual fields, cutting the number of template calls by 80%. --Quietust (t|c) 20:02, 28 September 2012 (CEST)

Resized Images

This template displays the monster image resized to 100x100, and this seems to go horribly wrong for some animated images (most notably, "The Naughty Sorceress (2)"). Not sure if there's something we can do to fix this... --Quietust (t|c) 20:00, 28 September 2012 (CEST)

Tooltip

In game, the images have a tooltip with their value. Can that functionality be added to the new info pics? Otherwise init would be kinda useless in the manuel entries. ~Erich t/c 21:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

a quibble

  • checking the entries pages, it looks like the SPAN tag is misplaced. it starts outside and ends inside the TD tag. too stupid to fix it myself. anyone? --Evilkolbot (talk) 16:46, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
    • Looks like mediawiki insists on sticking the ending span tag inside the <p></p> it wraps around the factoids. Fixed it by changing to a div terminating on a new line. --Fig bucket (talk) 20:12, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
