13:46.15weazer's Breath
13:46.30weazerNothing on the site :(
13:46.36TepetkhetGo to Felwood and get the special lantern thing...
13:47.19TepetkhetThen you can gather shards from corpses and/or skin hides for the Tauren chick.
13:47.26TepetkhetYou exchange those for salve.
13:47.50weazerOk, Im alliance! Where do i go to get the collect item?
13:48.23TepetkhetDo you know in Felwood where there's that little hillside with Druids standing around?
13:48.27TepetkhetNE and Tauren?
13:48.44TepetkhetAs you enter Felwood and go down the road, it's on the Right.
13:49.10weazerOhh there
13:49.13weazerCheers mate!
13:49.21TepetkhetThere should be somebody near there to get the quest from.
13:49.36TepetkhetDruids are usually neutral so I think both factions can get the quest from the same Tauren chick.
13:49.45TepetkhetShe's on the left hand side of the path instead of the right.
13:49.55weazerok :)
13:50.07TepetkhetIt
13:50.08Tepetkheter
13:50.11TepetkhetIt's been a while.

16:40.24Zealwell ican rename it to ilink if you want.. for item link
16:40.25Tekkubwhatever majicks are needed so that the editor doesn't need to know the quality
16:40.37Zealwell that aint happening, lol.
16:40.42Tekkubwhich therefore will allow for automatic updating of the color if it were to change
16:40.47Hobinheimno the point is that for such a frequently used template, you should abbreviate it
16:40.57Hobinheimalso, the colors should be specificed in CSS
16:41.05Hobinheimwhen we have CSS control i mena
16:41.13Zeali can't really think of many items that have ever had quality changes.. mounts, some trash thats about it.

16:41.35Tekkub*ponder*
16:41.41Patrigan-Syldrajust wondering
16:41.43Zealthey're pulling in the colour templates that already existing.
16:41.51Hobinheimcolor templates = wrong
16:41.53Patrigan-Syldrais it possible to access wiki code from a history page?
16:41.57Hobinheimw/e
16:42.03Hobinheimi'm at work and this is getting too involved
16:42.03*** part/#wowwiki Hobinheim (n=Hobinhei@c-69-142-120-32.hsd1.nj.comcast.net)
16:42.10Zealer.. wtf
16:42.10Tekkubwhiner
16:42.23Zealcolour templates are fine O_O wtf is he talking about?
16:42.25Patrigan-Syldrais it possible to access wiki code from a history page?
16:42.35Tekkubsorry, as a coder, there's a point where shrinking variable names make the code HARDER to read
16:42.48Tekkubsimple, good, not-self-describing, bad
16:43.21Tekkubif I want to tag a page as a stub, {{stub}} comes to mind, not {{s}}
16:43.30Zealloot is 4 letters, i think that's abbreviated enough from "item loot link template"..
16:43.40Tekkubyea, exactly
16:43.44Zealaye Tekkub, with ya.
16:43.50Patrigan-Syldrathough
16:43.55Tekkubit's 4 fucking letters and it's quite clear what it does
16:43.57Patrigan-Syldrawhat exactly is that loot thingy meant for?
16:44.04Patrigan-Syldrajust to put an itemlink on a page?
16:44.08Zealyes
16:44.10Tekkubeven {{lootlink}} would be acceptable to me
16:44.17Tekkubor itemlink
16:44.21Patrigan-Syldrathen Loot must be one of the worst describing things EVER
16:44.23Zealwhen it's used for linking an item itself as loot
16:44.33Kirkburn|afkSo. Many. Errors.
16:44.35Patrigan-Syldrabecause vendor items are not considered loot
16:44.36Zealnot for jsutl inking an item you're talking about etc.
16:44.48Zealvendor items would never use a lootlink
16:44.57Patrigan-Syldradepends
16:45.02Zealthat's already been discussed
16:45.10Zealas people want to show price with it
16:45.15Tekkubhrm... itemlink might be better, or just item
16:45.16Wulgarwho is it better to ally with the scryers or the aldor?
16:45.17Patrigan-Syldrawhen talking on a page like "Druid_as_a_Tank"

16:45.29Zealit would then be put into a vendor display, and you would use {{quality}} instead.
16:45.32Patrigan-Syldrayou want to be able to show both items from mobs and items from Vendors
16:45.33TekkubWulgar, go scryers, it's exactly what you want
16:45.41Kirkburn|afkA thought - is it possible to make the [ ] reflect the status of the link?
16:45.43Wulgarwhy are they better?
16:45.51TekkubAldor was put in for people that take the time to look at the items and decide for themselves
16:45.53Kirkburn|afki.e. make them red when it's dead, blue when alive
16:45.58ZealPatrigan-Syldra, in those cases, you would not loot link those items..
16:46.13Zealit is Kirkburn|afk
16:46.14Tekkubhttp://www.wowwiki.com/Comparison_of_Aldor_and_Scryer_rewards
16:46.23Tekkubread the whole page, then come back and ask which one
16:46.25Kirkburn|afkCause that would probably solve many problems
16:46.30Zealthough more code for something that really isn't needed
16:46.51Patrigan-SyldraKirkburn|afk
16:46.52Zealatm, it simply does not styling the link (but leaves [ ]) when the item's page does not exist.
16:46.55Patrigan-Syldrawho controls infobot?
16:47.24Kirkburn|afkNo-one ;)
16:47.33Tekkubmaybe append a ? on it if it's a non-page
16:47.37Patrigan-Syldrais it possible to make changes to his code?
16:47.41Tekkubbut then people will just fill it with a stub
16:47.44Zealwhich to be is desriable, as i don't want to know the quality if the item doesn't evne exist. i want to know it doesn't exist so i can go add the quality.
16:47.49Kirkburn|afkYes to an extent Patrigan-Syldra
16:47.55Zeal*to me
16:48.01Tekkubit's not changing it's code
16:48.12Tekkubbut you can "tell" it things and it'll remember
16:48.16Patrigan-Syldrajust a silly thought
16:48.31Patrigan-Syldrabut I have the habbit to link in mIRC with [[item]]
16:48.33Tekkubthat's actually the whole point of the stupid bot
16:48.33Kirkburn|afkWaitwaitwait, Zeal did you just suggest not showing the quality if the link is dead?
16:48.38Tekkubgod I hate you infobot
16:48.40Patrigan-Syldraand I was wondering if infobot could learn when he spots something like that
16:48.49Patrigan-Syldrato make a link http://www.wowwiki.com/item
16:49.02Tekkubinfobot, Patrigan-Syldra is a big fat doodoohead
16:49.04infobotokay, Tekkub
16:49.07Zealyes Kirkburn|afk, i did. that's what {{loot}} is doing atm.
16:49.19Tekkub~Patrigan-Syldra
16:49.20infobotmethinks patrigan-syldra is a big fat doodoohead
16:49.28Kirkburn|afkNah, wikipedia have their channel on here, they'd probably have already tried it Patrigan-Syldra :P
16:49.41Kirkburn|afkZeal, I'm not sure I agree with that
16:49.43Patrigan-Syldrainfobot, Patrigan-Syldra is also the greatest man alive.
16:49.45infobotPatrigan-Syldra: okay
16:49.57Patrigan-Syldrawell, Kirkburn|afk perhaps they aren't as bright
16:50.03Kirkburn|afk~Patrigan-Syldra
16:50.05infoboti heard patrigan-syldra is a big fat doodoohead, or the greatest man alive.
16:50.06Patrigan-Syldrainfobot alrdy recognises terms
16:50.14Patrigan-Syldraso it should be possible
16:50.18Patrigan-Syldrainfobot, Patrigan-Syldra
16:50.19infobotit has been said that patrigan-syldra is a big fat doodoohead, or the greatest man alive.
16:50.23Zealwell as i said, i can change it, it just means doubling up the code. i really don't consider it worth it.
16:50.29Patrigan-Syldrainfobot, Patrigan
16:50.30infobotmethinks patrigan is nothing to me.
16:50.39Patrigan-Syldrainfobot, botsnack.
16:50.39infobot:), Patrigan-Syldra
16:50.41Tekkubinfobot, no, Patrigan-Syldra is a bastard

16:51.10Kirkburn|afk~love
16:51.12infobotIf you love <insert item> so much, why don't you marry it
16:51.17Tekkubinfobot, Patrigan-Syldra wants to feel my love, pervert
16:51.27Patrigan-Syldra-_-
16:51.34Patrigan-Syldraare you hot?
16:51.41Tekkubcan you feel it now?
16:51.45Tekkubhow about now?
16:52.28Patrigan-Syldra...
16:52.32Patrigan-Syldra*scared*
16:52.43Tekkub*sigh*
16:53.02Tekkubwonder if Wulgar found his answer yet
16:54.14Wulgarim looking at the rewards now
16:54.27Kirkburn|afkActually, part of the instability atm may be Voidvector's bot
16:54.40Kirkburn|afkNo-one sees how active it is most of the time - it's VERY active
16:55.00Kirkburn|afkEspecially right at the moment
16:55.06Kirkburn|afkhttp://www.wowwiki.com/Special:Contributions/VoidvectorBot
16:55.12Tekkubhe need to turn down the volume on it?
16:55.25Kirkburn|afkI'll mention it to him
16:55.37Tekkubhalf the rate maybe
16:55.50Tekkubhe's at ~4 per min
16:56.25Zealso Kirkburn|afk, what do you want. the name to be unstyled but the brackets styled, or the brackets unstyled and the name styled?
16:56.51Tekkuboh oh oh, idea
16:56.55Wulgari think im going aldor
16:57.11Tekkubinstead of stying, tag a tiny broken link imae after the link?
16:57.31TekkubWulgar, what class/craft/PvP/PvE is you?
16:57.34Patrigan-Syldrajust wondering are there small icons for the Professions?
16:57.43Kirkburn|afkThat's sounds like a good idea, leave the actual link alone
16:57.50Wulgarpali PVE eng, ench
16:58.06Tekkubhrm... not much to work with there
16:58.11Patrigan-Syldragood choice Wulgar
16:58.17Tekkubprolly Aldor for the chants if anything
16:58.17Wulgar:-)
16:58.27Zeali don't agree with that
16:58.34Tekkubequipment on A/S is kinda hit or miss
16:58.48Tekkuband engineering sucks for recipes
16:58.57Zealyou don't start changing established functionality of a wiki to soemthing people won't understand

16:59.31Zealnot something appended to the end.

16:59.51Tekkubpeople fill broken links in with stubs fast
16:59.53TekkubI hate stubs
16:59.55Kirkburn|afkhmm, Zeal, it's a tough one
17:00.09Tekkubso I vote no quality styling on broken item links
17:00.16Zealeither the brackets, the name, or the whole link should be left to wiki styling if its dead : /
17:00.25Tekkubcause it'll get stubbed quickly either way

17:00.29Zealaye.. thats my choice too Tekkub

17:07.53Patrigan-SyldraPfft
17:07.57Patrigan-Syldrawho cares about PS3
17:08.02Patrigan-Syldranobody wants it anyways
17:08.18Patrigan-Syldrathere ain't a sane(!) person wanting to pay 700EUR for a console
17:08.29Kirkburn|afkThis is completely and utterly true
17:08.30Patrigan-SyldraXbox360 has better quality and Wii has better gameplay
17:08.42Patrigan-Syldrathe only thing keeping PS3 running is their current line-up
17:08.48Kirkburn|afkI'm getting a Wii soon - i.e. when I can be bothered to go looking again
17:08.52Patrigan-Syldrahowever they already lost A LOT of their exclusives
17:09.20Patrigan-Syldradid you know that Rockstar is even considering to bring GTA to Wii and Xbox 360?
17:09.43Kirkburn|afkI thought the comment from an exec about him saying that demand was obviously high as people were paying ridiculous prices on eBay for one. IMO they're ALREADY paying a ridiculous price to Sony :)
17:09.47Patrigan-SyldraWii because they want to test the Wiimote and Xbox360 because it has such nice quality...
17:10.04Patrigan-Syldralol ^^
17:10.19Patrigan-SyldraI just don't get it atm, why are they screwing themselves up even more?

19:18.19Kirkburn|afk"Blizzard happily announced today that The Burning Crusade has just shattered the so-called "day one" sales record and has become the fastest selling PC title ever for both North America and Europe - selling around 2.4 million copies in the first 24 hours alone."
19:18.55Zeal:::::And the nice thing about IRC, is we can discuss quicker and easier (especially when the wiki is as unstable as it is atm). :p
19:18.55Zeal:::::There are no invalid characters as far as i know. Even if there were, they would more than likely just be url encoded anyways, so there is no problem (that is what url encoding was designed for really..). Items that have multiple versions with the same name should be in the same page imo, so i will not add such functionality to support anything different. If someone else wants to when people decide otherwise, then so be it.

20:13.17Kirkburn|afkNo f'ing way
20:13.18Zealyeah, that's what i was thinking : /

20:15.55Zealand i made the npc tooltip to satisfy those who think otherwise, and keep it having a purpose.
20:15.59Zealyes Kirkburn|afk?
20:16.12Kirkburn|afkHave you ever seen a modern reference book?
20:16.34Zealdo you have any idea how to propoerly present information for the chosen medium and audience? :P
20:16.35Kirkburn|afkYou'll find most summarise the info as well as write it out in full form in the text
20:16.46Zealthats a book
20:16.51Zealdifferent medium
20:16.57Kirkburn|afkIt's still text!
20:16.59Zealthe web isn't
20:17.13Zealthat information can be presented in a better way on the web.
20:17.22Kirkburn|afkWhich is why wikipedia uses infoboxes?
20:17.41Zealno need to summarise anything on the web unless that information is being included in something else.
20:18.20Kirkburn|afkThere is no difference between prose on a page and prose on a monitor. People don't always want to read it, they want a quick summary of the info, which is what the infobox serves as
20:18.29Zealand a page the web has functionality to highlight and direct you to the important information, unlike a book.
20:18.46Zeal*-a page
20:19.52Zealthe infobox serves as nothing but an obstrusive redisplay of information in a format without validation, explanation or context.
20:20.04Kirkburn|afkWell yes, but if we didn't have an infobox, how would you suggest going about showing Gender, Race, Occupation, Character Class, Relatives, Affiliation, Status and more? 7 links?
20:20.06Zealit has no practical purpose.
20:20.18Kirkburn|afkI completely disagree :/
20:20.35Kirkburn|afkIt serves a very practical purpose /for me/
20:20.45*** join/#wowwiki dok3Dal (n=dok@AStrasbourg-251-1-30-8.w82-126.abo.wanadoo.fr)
20:20.49Zealwell that stuf goes down to my proposal. all that stuff should exist as a link/category system.
20:21.55Kirkburn|afkIn any case, voidvector don't worry about infoboxes, I don't think there's anything to upgrade there (apart from the template itself perhaps)
20:21.56Zeali don't pretend to be good at writing articles, but designing how it's presented is my domain :P
20:22.28Zealwhich i feel mediawiki as standard is awful at >_>
20:22.29Kirkburn|afkAnd designing how the WoWWiki is presented is one of my domains.
20:22.42voidvectorwell as of right now, {{Npcbox}} looks 10x better than {{Infobox Warcraft character}}
20:22.44Zeallol
20:24.31Kirkburn|afkThe idea is that the lore box is supposed to look RPG-style
20:24.39Zealeither way, first thing, switch to a div design and drop wowbox styling. secondly, only use it on npcs.
20:25.19Kirkburn|afkNPC box fine with looking sleek, etc, but I like the lore pages having a little 'somethin, somethin'
20:25.57Kirkburn|afkIt's not divs?
20:26.04voidvectoralso we need to incorporate more templates into boilerplate. e.g. item tooltip on most pages are just plain tables (html or wiki) which means if we establish a new layout, we would have to change all the item page manually
20:26.14Zealand the idea behind what i'm saying is that it shouldn't be emulating anything unless it serves a purpose to exist in that format (tooltips for example, which if you were about at the time, was a compramise from me to start with :P)
20:26.34Kirkburn|afkOh yeah, get the (item) templates on the boilerplates!
20:26.54Zealvoidvector, i've already been doing that when i get a chance
20:27.03Zeal:p
20:27.38voidvectorawesome
20:27.48Kirkburn|afkWe just keep going up: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=www.wowwiki.com
20:27.55Zealand i dunno the specifics of each template Kirkburn|afk, but all the oens designed to fit into {{wowobox}}, and the template itself, are tables.
20:28.21Zealso unless someone converted wowbox to divs, it would sitll be the same.
20:28.29Zeal*{{wowbox}}
20:28.34Kirkburn|afkI'm fine with the templates being upgraded to not be a fudge, but I do want to keep the border style :)
20:28.52Kirkburn|afkOnly for the really important lore chars
20:28.57ZealKirkburn|afk, you're a designer no?
20:29.16Kirkburn|afkThere's a time for sleek and there's a time for RPG-ing :)
20:29.31voidvectori am trying to figure out if i can using bot to replace all the crappy item tooltips, but since item properties are not universal, it is not likely possible
20:29.32Zealtheres always a time for accesability though..
20:29.33Kirkburn|afkNot a professional designer, no
20:29.55Kirkburn|afkThe border causes a problem with accessibility??
20:30.28Kirkburn|afkBtw, an example of my website design: http://chig3.georgepribul.eu/
20:32.08Zealimages should never be used for layout design, only background images. images for images (like what we thumb) that are relevent to the content, and logos etc. If a user has images, or css turned off (or not full support) the whole page can become unreadable.

23:20.54Kirkburn|afkI don't think we have many PC articles anyway
23:21.12Tusvaunder 600 in the category, anyway
23:22.08TusvaI'd say the policy should dictate that it only appear as a User: subarticle, but maybe go easier on the content restrictions..
23:22.36Zealyes, i think that's because the existing policy (though i've heard conflicting reports and cba to look) says they have to be in the userspace.
23:22.51Zealurgh..
23:23.00Zealthose socket tempalte exampels are wrong ffs
23:23.15Zealwhy i haven't touched sockets yet, or set bonuses for that matter..
23:23.55Tusvabtw Zeal, how does your tooltip template handle multiple attributes? +25 Intelllect<br/>+20 Strength?
23:26.05TusvaCurrent naming policy says "Personal articles should be located as subpages of the author's user page (e.g. User:Aeleas/The Last Druid)." Should stay that way imo, even for PC pages.
23:26.51Zealyes tusva, just added that on it's talk page :p
23:27.12Zealimo PC's deserve PC:
23:27.40Zealor removal from the wiki completely..
23:28.13TusvaWhy give them their own namespace?
23:29.08TusvaIt's easier, in the end, to match up the PC to User, no better way to keep it that way than have them stay in User:
23:30.38ZealCategories handle that
23:32.09TusvaSo instead of having users continue to have them in the User: space, we're going to have them make it its own article and add them to both the PC category and the "Tusva's PC's category?". Seems a little unwieldy :P

23:43.11Zeali was going with the idea of users have players, players belong to users. as characters also applies to NPCs
