You can click the "move" button at the top of the page, which will redirect passerbys to the correct page.

How can I contribute to the templates for L4E? I'm pretty handy with SQL, HTML and CSS so I figure I can learn mediawiki in short order if given a little push in the right direction.

Are we still working in the old wiki or are we ready to move to the new Vault wiki?

I'd really like to get into the guts of the wiki and spruce up the templates for things like secondary attacks, animal companions, etc.

Morrus is going to pull the plug on the old wiki at some point as he has repeatedly said. We will have to move to the new wiki (or offsite). Before we do that, we need to test/fix the ported templates to see if they work correctly.

Its less of a direct HTML/CSS port as one template system->another port.

Is anyone coordinating this effort? Is there anything I can do to help?

I'm sure I can figure out how the templates work if someone will show me where they are defined.

I've been heading up the (1 man) effort over at LEB. No real coordination over on the L4W side. Best thing to do is start with an existing working character and move it over to the new wiki in the appropriate place and start seeing what works/doesn't.

OK. I'm working on an overhaul for my character right now anyways, so I'll just do it in the new wiki and see what I learn.

I created a new thread for the New Wiki Working Group for anyone that wants to jump in and contribute to working out details of the new vault wiki system and coordinating moving content from the current MediaWiki pages.
