Well there's still a few more to go... I hope they don't start getting "lost in the clutter".

I don't know who did it but I found this back up of character information for L4W:

Category:L4W - ENWiki

The anonymous person who set it up... thank you!

Cov,

I've got to say that those adventure synopsis are the best thing since sliced bread! Very well done; I would love to see those for all of the adventures being run!

Wow, that's awesome.

I'm guessing it's probably Morrus' doing, since it looks like a full backup of the actual database. It has version history, and appears to have been done within the last few days. I don't think you get those things without doing a proper full export of the database using mediawiki backup scripts.

They're useful, aren't they? I can't take credit for the idea; LEW has them:

Living ENWorld:History

I just wish I had time to keep up with the ones I've started.

So I've ported over most of the setting content to Wikia, but I've run into a roadblock with the PC's (I was just doing mine to start). The coding doesn't appear to work. I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong as on the test site, Kane was fine.

Something about the spacing in the code is screwing it up. Ashir's page looks fine if I copy the code and paste it as

Code:

{{L4W:Character
|Name=Ashir
|Player=renau1g
|Level=1
|Class=Wizard
|Race=Genasi
|Size=Medium
|XP=0
|Initiative=+0
|Perception=12
|Senses=none
|Insight=12
|HP=22
|Bloodied=11
|SurgeValue=5
|Surges=7
|AC=14
|Fortitude=15
|Reflex=14
|Will=14
|Speed=6
|Alignment=Unaligned
|Languages=Common, Primordial
|Str=18 (+4)
|Con=12 (+1)
|Dex=10 (+0)
|Int=18 (+4)
|Wis=14 (+2)
|Cha=8 (-1)
|Racial=Elemental Origin, Elemental Manifestation (Stormsoul: +1 Fort, Resist Lightning 5, Promise of Storm)
|ClassFeature=Arcane Implement Mastery (Tome of Readiness), cantrips, ritual casting, spellbook
|Feats=Elemental Empowerment, Ritual Caster
|Skills=Arcana +9, Endurance +8, Nature +9, Religion +9
|Rituals=Portend Weather (Nature), Create Campsite (Nature), Tenser's Floating Disc (Arcana)
|BasicAttack=Staff +6 vs AC 1d8+4 damage
|BasicRangedAttack=na
}}

But if I copy/paste the exact same code without the formatting, the templates aren't used.

Edit: Ah, it's actually the <br> lines that are messing it up. They can't be in the reference to the template "{{{L4W:Character" vs "{{L4W:Character<br>". I think they're okay anywhere else.
I didn't run into this problem when copying over the sheets from enworld. I always went to the edit screen of a sheet, copied all the code, and pasted it as-is. The <br> lines weren't there, so I'm thinking that you're using a different method to copy the code.
