[QUOTE="weldon, post: 5168458, member: 18817"] I'll take a crack at this. I think I can come up with something that at least has the info on the summary page above. The google sheets are very cool. Not perfect and missing some functionality of the wiki, but still cool. The big disadvantage for my purposes is that all the sheets are separate copies. On the L4W wiki, they are tied together by categories, namespaces, templates, hyperlinks, etc. I can invest some time and make improvements to the character template that will be seen on every character page. I can do some things like the Character Table that pull from the pages automatically. I assume that since the sheets are all separate copies, making changes (even cosmetic changes) would mean that someone has to touch each sheet. You can't just apply new formatting to a template that would show up everywhere it's used like it does on the wiki, right? On the wiki, if I make an improvement to the character template, everyone will see it on their page automatically without doing anything. But as for a minimum entry on the wiki page for your character... I would like to see the summary info (even if simplified) on each character in the wiki so that I can do more with the character table and reporting. A stat block with the status info would be a nice start. It might be possible to rejigger the character sheet so that it is comprised of two parts: the stat block & the detailed powers. As a bonus, we could then use that stat block as a <onlyinclude> section that would work well for transclusion on other pages. [/QUOTE]
