Cleaning things up a bit
I wanted to ask you, how do you edit the info in pages like the Imperium_Heroes one? (I want to (hopefully) help here too.)--Malvodion (talk) 22:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oooh, I see. Well, there is another "problem: looks like someone added a Silver and Gold costs columns (and they had also forgot to add them to the Keeper's), but the table doesn't properly detect the gold one, so it displays both in a single column. How do you fix that? Also, do you like the skin preview I added?--Malvodion (talk) 23:20, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Pages that use automatically fetch information from other pages depending on the criteria given. On the list you asked about it lists informations is articles in Category:Imperium heroes that use the template Hero infobox. So to update or add a row you update the Hero's page or create a new Hero page.


 * Adding a column or something like that is more complicated though. Basically there are 3 comma separated fields that simplified work like this:


 * format
 * table start, row start, row end, table end
 * include
 * parameter1, parameter2, ..., etc.
 * secseparaters
 * before parameter1, after parameter1, before parameter2, after parameter2, ..., etc.


 * You can't have new lines inside any of those which is why that funny paragraph symbol is used. As you can see from looking at that page the secseparators section gets pretty messy, so if you wanted to change the table itself in some way, rather than just updating the info it contains, I would be happy to help with that.


 * Smite Wiki uses SMW instead of DPL by the way. It does similar things, but is a newer extension with a lot of features that aren't supported by DPL for a small trade off in that you have to define "Properties" (http://smite.gamepedia.com/Special:Properties), but those are fairly quick to set up in exchange for the new features, including sortability and passing results to templates rather than formatting them inline with the above syntax. --Sigilbaram (talk) 23:29, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean there. I'll... do some comma counting... This is why I prefer SMW... lol --Sigilbaram (talk) 23:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I fixed that. Only two have values for those though. --Sigilbaram (talk) 23:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, there is a lot of missing info in this wiki (and a lot of google translate-ish text too..), I'll try to update that while I change the skins section of their pages. Thanks for helping me, and sorry for giving you even more work..--Malvodion (talk) 00:02, 14 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It's ok. I like when I get to do things the community actually wants. It is nice to see people are actually working on the wikis and such rather than them ending up ignored and abandoned. --Sigilbaram (talk) 00:31, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Hero profile pictures
Where did you got those images? The oval ones. Did you make them yourself? If you made them yourself, would you mind sharing me the template? I'd gladly make the witch/moira ones from the images we got.--Malvodion (talk) 21:00, 14 September 2013 (UTC)


 * They are from http://en.playpw.com/heroes.html and made oval with a GIMP scriptfu I wrote. I don't see any of the new heros on that page though... unless I just skimmed right over them. Though I do see they went back in and animated the Vampire and Dahaka at some point... odd... --Sigilbaram (talk) 01:33, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If you would like the scriptfu anyway, though, I can put it on the wiki somewhere. --Sigilbaram (talk) 01:49, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah. The pictures of the new hero are from the RU website, She has been out for a good while there.
 * And yes, that'd be very useful to me.
 * Also, I asked on the PW forums if they could provide us with the images for the missing skins and talents, someone from the Nival Team said they'd be hunting for everything (I hope they find what the wiki needs instead of just the things we already have..).--Malvodion (talk) 02:38, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the script, I'll upload the pics asap. Sorry to bother you again but, could you remove this? it's a spambot Rejser_fra_Thailand.--Malvodion (talk) 06:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem. And thanks for pointing out that spam. --Sigilbaram (talk) 06:26, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Moderation
I didn't want to bother you again but, Could you make me an admin here too? For some reason it's not letting me upload the files for the newest skins (it created empty pages, that I can't delete.), I want to see if I can solve it, plus I can remove dupe pages and vandalism.--Malvodion (talk) 03:58, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure, but admin isn't needed for uploading images. We were moving the wikis to new servers so there may have been some issues with file uploads. I'll point it out to the team. --Sigilbaram (talk) 04:43, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I let them know and others have noticed it too. We should probably just hold off on attempting file uploads until they fix the issue. --Sigilbaram (talk) 04:52, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, did the migration broke something? I hope they fix it by tomorrow, or we won't be able to update the Other Wiki. It's kind of funny: I finally get the files the wiki needed but the wiki doesn't let me upload them. Oh well, atleast I can work on everything else. Thanks for the promo, I'll start cleaning things up tomorrow.--Malvodion (talk) 05:32, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Weird, It's as if I wasn't an admin. I guess it's also related to the migration. Seems like most changes (file upload, user ranks, etc.), except for text, aren't properly saved... Just to be safe I'll make backups of the stuff I wrote on the other wiki...--Malvodion (talk) 05:40, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah there were issues related to the migration. We had server 504 issues all day today too. Hopefully everything is fixed now. --Sigilbaram (talk) 01:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Banning IPs
Since you probably wouldn't be able to see it on my page:

I was doing it the same way Red did it with the spammers in Smite Wiki (same reason, same length, same options), but alright then.--Malvodion (talk) 23:25, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

PW wiki layout
Looks like this wiki's layout got broken aswell. I tried to toy a bit with it but it's all greek to me. Whenever you get the chance, could you fix this one's?--Malvodion (talk) 14:00, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Prime World Thrones
The game got a mayor update not long ago that changed how their matching works, turning the two factions into something pretty much cosmetical (now people from the same factions can be teamed up with people from the other side and will also fight people from their faction.) and both sides can adquire characters from any side too (with the exception of Da'ka & Ha'ka since they are Almost the same character.). Along with that, the game is now called "Prime World: Thrones" (to follow the naming they have been using for some of their other games, like Prime World: Defenders).

What does this mean for the wiki? That there is a lot of stuff that needs to be remade. I can take care of most of it but there is a few things I'd need help with, like making a functional character list that would cover both factions (I tried to make one based in the current one but it didn't really work. But I'll see if I can make a completly new one, with a more "standard" table, even if it means I'd have to update it manually in the future.), and a new logo, and all that.--Malvodion (talk) 11:00, 2 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can help you with the templates and lists and stuff, just let me know which pages and templates you need help with. --Sigilbaram (talk) 23:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
