If you have a specific question, I'll be happy to try and answer it. If you're looking for a how-to on using the new features... well, that'll have to wait until we work out how we mean to use them. I've been tossing the idea around in my head to start a "wiki help" thread to consolidate any...

//To be (overly?) clear, I'm voting for ending the adventure at the completion of the current encounter and then starting a new adventure with a continuation of the story line from TURTLEDOME! - Something like the underground dungeon crawl through the sewers of Daunton that was alluded to...

//I like that idea//

//Great news! I just got an amazing job offer yesterday too. This is shaping up to be a great week!//

All of the player character pages have been moved. I had wikia support create the "ADV:" and "SET:" namespaces as well, but I have not moved any of those pages. Thanks to everyone for the support. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I am really looking forward to having everything...

All of the player character pages have been moved to the PC: namespace as of this morning. Now, on to the new templates!

You do have to be logged in, but I don't think you need to be an admin. I don't think I am an admin, for example.

The PC: namespace is set up for all player character pages. I have started the process of moving existing pages per my proposal . Unfortunately, wikia limits the number of edits I can make so that I have to wait a couple minutes between each move. I will continue to work on this, but if you...

I wouldn't go that far, but it will be a great next step to take in evolving the character sheets. There will still be a learning curve to the wiki, but I think we can cut it down and dramatically improve the maintenance of character sheets, particularly on level up. You know, I love wikis and...

Awesome. I'm going to start by working on a statblock that may become a wiki infobox that will hold all the raw data like ability scores, level, etc. that is highly reusable in other templates. MediaWiki variables are used for things like {{PAGENAME}} and {{SITENAME}} and so on. The...

There is little difference to the casual user. The page titles actually look the same. There is a big difference when trying to do something programmatic with the wiki. The character table page is a great potential replacement to the character status page because it is driven by the character...

Here's what I'd like to go ahead with... PC: - for player character sheets SET: - for setting pages (we can use categories to group by areas and regions. NPC's that belong to the setting - the Five - would go here. ADV: - for adventure pages (NPC's that belong to an adventure would go here...

The current practice is to put all the tracking info on the character page and I think this works reasonably well. I'm not sure what people do with DM credits, but I believe that they don't show up in the wiki until a DM cashes them in on one of her characters. Then the XP award is noted with a...

This solution would be fully contained in the wiki page itself. SemanticForms would make it a little easier to fill out. You could fill out entries in a form rather than edit the page source directly. The first step is to design the template itself and then we can work on ways to make it...

I think "Adventures" would make sense for a custom namespace. Do we want to shorten that to "Adv:" so we stick to 2 or 3 letter prefixes?

Wikia.com support was really kind in enabling Extension:VariablesExtension on l4w.wikia.com for us. This means that we can simplify the character sheets by entering things like level, ability scores, ability mods, etc. in just one place and then reusing those values in other parts of the page...

Update The proposal to use the custom namespace "PC:" has been approved. I think it will work out well to have character sheets in their own namespace. They clearly belong together and are distinct from other pages. I have exchanged emails with the support folks at wikia.com and they are ready...

Just got word back from wikia.com that the SemanticWiki extension (and SemanticForms) have been enabled. The recommendation is to only use one form on each page, so we'll have to think carefully about how to use this. They also set up VariablesExtension for us, which is awesome. We have to put...
