[Radio Controlled]

We add {{delete:reason}} or something simialar on the extra page.

Then presumably, I delete those pages sometime in the future. Should really get around to that when I get to a real computer again...

Just one thing: Check if deleting a page also deletes its history. If it does, then it might be better to not delete them to preserve their history record. At least for inventory and status pages.

Yeah, one reason I've been wary of deleting is the fear that something we could still need/want later might get accidentally lost, while just letting pages marked for deletion sit there doesn't really get in anyone's way. Though it's less tidy I guess.

The few pages I have marked for deletion and remember seeing are mostly totally unnecessary. Like duplicate level of unnecesary.

Paris: I think you should alter your character sheet javascript tool more towards new players. Old players who are playing have pretty much all handled the conversion already.

Hide "Points assigned" and "Enchanted capacity" columns and add a "Level up" checkbox controlling their visibility. And maybe add max and min values for "Initial level" fields to prevent changing them beyond permitted. Perhaps control those limits through the same checkbox?

And highlight more when numbers don't match. Bigger font, bold, colors...

Sure, I've been thinking about something like that myself, some sort of radio selector that changes mode. I was thinking character creation should be the default (maybe also add the option to output the results in bbcode and wikitext so that they can be easily copied), with a level up option also being available (I could alter the template to add HTML labels to the wiki so that someone can put a link to their character page and have a php or Java script load the info EDIT: Oh, or I could just make it add an easy to parse HTML comment, that would probably be much easier), while the converter remains on the page it is now for historical reasons (perhaps with a few upgrades of its own, if they are early transferable). Also changing the font and general layout of the thing, make it the black-and-limegreen combo that I like. Maybe also make it so that hovering over a stat or skill tells you a bit about it.

Just haven't really had much motivation to do that instead of other things. But it would be a good opportunity to get some practice with php/HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

If you have any more suggestions, please share them. I'll try to make a small list with all the features I and other people want and post it here for poet review when I get back to my PC

Could I get a wiki gnome to add some text to the Gauss Rifle page? Council-approved variant with 3x the mag and 3x the rate of fire for 4 tokens, no overcharge, 2 tokens/mag, otherwise the same. Call it Repeating Gauss Rifle I guess.

I did some work changing the Character Calculator page and learning a bit more about HTML/CSS. I feel like I'm ready to start working on the new page, where I'll basically just rewrite it and the scripts in it to make it less of a mess and add a button or two that will switch modes, hide stuff and maybe load data from the wiki or export data in wiki-friendly or forum-friendly form. I might break it into multiple pages to make it easier.

I must say, those colors hurt my eyes...

Really? I love them. But it's just my personal preference. I'll make the grayscale version the default one and add a button to change to the one I like.

How about now?

It's got a toggle button that selects either the white or the black style by changing the class of the body, with the default style being the white one. It saves the chosen style in a cookie so that you don't need to change it every time you visit the page. And you can easily add more styles via css (and adding them to a switch statement in the javascript part), if anyone wants to do that for whatever reason.

It's perfect. Thank you, Paris!

[AoshimaMichio]

Yeah, better now.

But Anompalous Planetoid? That one popped up into my eyes.

[Parisbre56]

Yeah, there were a lot of spelling mistakes. I passed it through a spell checker. I'll continue with splitting it up to a Character Creation page and Level Up page.

on my monitor, both the white and the black are a little intense. Black is a bit better though. Could just be me, too. I am a little light sensitive.

I don't know, I'm going with what I like and I'm not a really artistic person. My expertise in colours extends in "black is a nice colour, green is a nice colour, so putting two nice colours together will make something nice". Plus, the black and green reminds me of my first computer monitor, a big bulky thing that could only show black and green, which is also what Steve's green voice reminds me of.

If you have a better idea, then I can either give you access to the CSS file so that you can create whatever style you like, or, if you're using firefox, you can right click on the page, press inspect element, select the <body> tag and then mess with the CSS properties on the right until you get what you want and then post those here so I can add them as a style.

One color scheme I like is Darkling theme of the forum. I have css for it somewhere...

Here.
