I sent a request the other day to enable SemanticForms. I wanted to try and see how this might work and if it would make it easier for folks. It looks promising. There is also the visual editor too. I'm looking into different techniques to pass parameters from one template to another. I can do...

I've had similar thoughts. I think it would be possible to create a web app that will take the XML file as input and then output the wiki template text so that you could cut and paste into the wiki source. I think there is some work that could be done to clean up the wiki templates too.

Thank you so much for moving everything over. The wiki is such a great resource and I am really grateful that you saved it. As part of my proposal, I will volunteer to move the PC pages. It is actually really important that no one rename/move their pages before the namespace is set up. The page...

Proposal: I would like to discontinue the usage of the L4W: prefix and remove it from all existing pages. I would also like to make "PC:" a custom namespace. Here's why: The L4W: prefix in page titles that we have been using is redundant and unnecessary now that we have our own dedicated wiki...

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...

It occurs to me that I could give the Adventure Index the same treatment (if we had a wiki page for each adventure and a standard template to hold the info for the table).

I decided to cheat and use the existing character template for animal companions because it has all the necessary bits in there. I renamed it so that it would not conflict with the actual character template. You can see an example on Finnian's sheet. Here is the link to the L4W:Companion...

I was excited to see that 4 or 5 brave souls have already added the status template to their character sheets. Before we go much further, does anyone have any feedback? Is the Character Table useful? Does it have the right information in it? One idea I've been mulling over is that maybe we...

OK. I see what you are saying. Reading back through the spreadsheet proposal and the discussion, I don't think the exact usage was clarified. We may want to revisit this so that we have clear instructions on what is *required* on the wiki page and what is optional (like math, etc.). As for...

Exactly. My understanding is that characters will still need a wiki page with the summary section (character template) even if they use the google spreadsheet for the math section. So every character in L4W should have a wiki page with this information. The status template (which is being used...

I actually got pretty far on this tonight. Here is the dynamic Character Table. It pulls character name, player name, class, race, and level from the existing template values. To get status, location, and notes you will need to add the Status template (which I created today). You can check...

I sent the request to enable DPL on our wiki site myself. We'll see if that works. While upcoming adventures and tavern roll call in this thread was my inspiration for looking into this, I think it's best to move the discussion on creating a dynamic character status page to the new wiki thread...

I sent a request to Wikia to enable the DPL extension on l4w.wikia.com. I am going to create a dynamic character status page that pulls the class, level, location, etc. from the character sheets. It should result in a completely automated character status page (as long as users keep their...

A little digging and I have found a way to build the status page automatically with DynamicPageList. This extension is available by request. Who does that? The L4W Facilitator user? This looks really cool actually. I can grab the class, level, etc. from the template tags. Instead of using...

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. You're right, it's not simpler. It redirects the requirement from editing the status page to editing your own character sheet. I spent a little time looking at the wiki last night trying to understand out if I can query the pages to pull out category...

I noticed that it doesn't work to use the [ URL ] bbcode in the new wiki. You can use <URL = "asgjalsgl"> text </URL> (without the spaces, of course) or you can use [link text] (with a space separating the link in http:// format and the text).

True. I was thinking that the using a category on character sheets would mean that the list could be generated automatically. Players would only need to keep their own sheet up to date and would not have to worry about touching multiple pages when something changes with their character. I don't...

//My first concern is for you, Ken. This is just a game and I'll survive even without the chance to try writing awkward dialog. I'm fine to leave Finnian here on hold for a month. Thanks for getting us to 2nd level so we can have 2 characters in L4E. I suppose I need to get going on making my...

Would it make sense to use a new "tavern" category on the character wiki pages to automate the roll call? Or is it doing it manually just as easy? I suppose the danger would be players that do not update their character sheets, but DM's and Judges could check that for active adventures and...

//Looking forward to getting going again//
