[QUOTE="weldon, post: 5735623, member: 18817"] I wrote the Character Table page on the L4W wiki. It does use the DPL extension to pull the info automatically from the existing templates. It is officially supported by wikia, you just have to ask them to turn it on for your site because it can cause a lot of problems (high server load / slow pages) if misused. The security warnings apply to the DPL2 (third-party) extension, which is different. If I can help with the LPF wiki, just let me know. I recently added the [URL="http://leb.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_PC"]infobox_pc template[/URL] that I put together for L4W so that [MENTION=6684473]CrimsonFlameWielder[/MENTION] could use it on LEB sheets too. It would be simple to add it to the LPF wiki as well. The infobox would be the easiest way to put together a dynamic character status page. You would have to require that all character sheets use it to get the info on location, status, etc. The name, player, level, class, race, etc. are all available in the standard character templates as well and you are pretty much guaranteed to get those on every character. One other relevant change that I made to the L4W wiki is that PC: is a true namespace, so it is possible to limit the query to just the PC namespace and only get character sheets instead of searching all admin, setting and adventure pages too. Here's the info from wikia on how to use the DPL extension responsibly/effectively... [url=http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:DynamicPageList]Help:DynamicPageList - Wikia Help[/url] [url=http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Using_DynamicPageList_effectively]Help:Using DynamicPageList effectively - Wikia Help[/url] If I can help with anything on your wiki, please ask. I'm happy to help. EDIT: I didn't realize this was Living Pathfinder at first. Jumped over from a question asked in L4W. The offer to help still stands. [/QUOTE]
