RE: "Race Line*: {{{race_line}}}" in some (most?) merchant pages

Thanks for pointing out that race line bug to me. It should now be fixed.

P.S. I noticed you had a character sheet linked on your page. Were you aware of the (similar) wiki "Magelo" feature (eg. Magelo_Blue)?

Yeah, I actually have it set up so you can export to the Magelo. I kinda vision it more of a thing you keep up as you're leveling since it shows a bit more info than the Magelo and is quicker to edit. Has a bunch of spell info right there and links to various places that might be helpful while playing.

Magelo Namespaces

Unfortunately, if you wanted to move all the Magelos into their own namespace, you would:

• A) have to change the Magelo code to create new Magelos in that namespace
• B) have to move all the existing Magelos (and links to them) to the new namespace

The only person with the power to do that is wiki god Ravhin ... who no longer plays :(

You can try using wiki talk, or the forum's PM system, to reach him (I think he still responds), but he's unlikely to want to do a lot of work given that he's retired.

If you know PHP (the programming language) I could show you where the Magelo code is, and you could try to write the above yourself, but otherwise (unless you can bribe Ravhin somehow) this seems unlikely to get fixed; sorry.

If we update the media wiki it looks like the page (See media wiki updated recent changes) has the ability to search the way you are looking for. The question is does updating break anything.

re: Dalnir - Broken Dynamic Lists

   https://wiki.project1999.com/Crypt_of_Dalnir#What.27s_in_this_zone.3F

   Not sure what's going on with it and have no idea where to even begin. It pulls the names of the items/quests/mobs but leaves the rest blank.

It looks like it's fixed now, but usually when those "dynamic zone lists" (the lists at the bottom of a zone page) fail, it's because one of the pages in that category has a bad character on it ("bad" as in, not a letter or number or normal punctuation mark, but something else) or the wiki text is bad (eg. there are two opening brackets, but not two closing ones).

Unfortunately, there's no good way to figure out which page is causing it when that happens, so all you can do is look for all the pages with a category of that zone's name, and search them for any recent changes that introduced problems.

Hope that helps.
