I think we can outright replace sheeps on M19 cheat sheep page. Dead are dead and their useable inventory is gone.

I think we can outright replace sheeps on M19 cheat sheep page. Dead are dead and their useable inventory is gone.

Eh, I find it somewhat useful for record keeping to keep the cheat-sheets intact, even with dead characters.

My thought is, under the assumption that PW has something for the couple people going salvaging to *do* besides a corpse run, to add whoever's heading out there to the Mission 19 page, and then make a Mission 20 D(deflexula) page for the distraction mission, since it will start out together

[Parisbre56]

My thought was that the distraction and rescue will take place in the mission 19 and on ship threads respectively, since they'll be doing M19's job, but their mission is sufficiently different and has its own briefing, therefore they should have a page of their own, at least for the distraction team.

Zoltan Solberg's wiki description now reflects his missing eye.

[AoshimaMichio]

AttrP and its counterpart template seems to have troubles with quotation marks in page name. Especially when used with standard {{PAGENAMEE}} template. Just heads up.

[Kriellya]

Oh? Can you link to an example of it going wrong?

Oh, it's D'usse, isn't it... I'll go look into it. My solution is probably going to be to silently setup redirects for pages with quotes in the title.

[AoshimaMichio]

Nope, Comrade P.'s new character.

[Kriellya]

Hmm, it looks like it's working fine? I think it was probably just doing the weird display error it does if the Inv and Attr page don't exist yet.

[Parisbre56]

No, if you check the history, you'll see there is a problem
http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/%22Blind-right%22_Rimma_Vetrova?diff=prev&oldid=9507
that gets fixed when the page name is manually inserted here
http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/index.php?title=%22Blind-right%22_Rimma_Vetrova&diff=9513&oldid=9507

PAGENAMEE should convert the page name to the correct format. At least, that's what I understood from what I read here
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:PAGENAMEE_encoding#PAGENAME
when I was creating the template.

http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/%22Blind-right%22_Rimma_Vetrova/Inv
seems to work fine when I copy-paste it to my browser, and if you look at the link to the data page itself it displays fine too. Maybe templates require the names to be in a different format? One needs them percent encoded and the other HTML encoded? Is it better to use PAGENAME instead of PAGENAMEE? I don't know. I might try experimenting later.

[Kriellya]

I'd love to experiment now, but it looks like wikia's main datacenter went down, sooooo... :/

[Kriellya]

Okay, back up, playing around.

Hmm. Ordinary {{PAGENAME}} seems to work correctly. So I guess it's expecting the input to be HTML encoded, at least for that parameter?

Whatever, we know in the future. I'll go update the New Character template, we'll see what breaks next.

[Parisbre56]

I was reading wikia's manual, and it turns out there's a way to link only a part of a page to another page, by doing something like this:

Alice
{{Sectionstart|sectionname}}
Foo
{{Sectionstart|sectionname2}}
Bar
{{Sectionend|sectionname}}
Baz
{{Sectionend|sectionname2}}
Bob

{{Linksection|sourcepage|sectionname}}
Other text
{{Linksection|sourcepage|sectionname2}}

Foo
Bar
Other text
Bar
Baz

Do you think that's easier/better than having subpages and transcribing them whole? If yes, I can test it to make sure it works as advertised and write more instructions.

[AoshimaMichio]

It is probably is easier when everything is on same page, and reduces amount of necessary edits. And perhaps it permits more free formatting on Cheat Sheep pages.

Ditto this, though I had thought we had a concern with subsections in inventory? Maybe we just need to add a Locker subsection to the template, and have people shove crap they're not carrying in there.

[AoshimaMichio]

I guess we should highlight paris's character creator page a bit more. Looks like not all new guys are finding it.
