Victory Bond
Currently Victory Bond still shows up in the colorless section of the unit groups, but this is completely replaced by Auric Impulse. So we either need a way for obsolete units to not show up anymore in the unit list or to delete the data table of Victory Bond. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zhala (talk • contribs • logs • block log)
- There is a way, but due to a bug in the Semantic MediaWiki extension, it's a little harder to do than it should be. The problem was that Victory Bond was redirected without removing the infobox first, and that's where the bug comes in. To get the properties to actually clear from a page, it is unfortunately necessary to blank the page, save it, and then edit it again to put the redirect in. They don't update during the save that turns a page into a redirect.
- This was a special situation, though, because it was renamed. For units that are just removed from the game, the better option is to edit the infobox like this:
{{Unit infobox
|available=no
}}
- That will put it in a different category so it doesn't get pulled into the card tables. OOeyes (talk) 03:14, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Unit Tables
Unit table appears broken? I am uncertain how to resolve, but appears to be an issue with the template I think (??). Also, it seems everything has been changed to "basic" set to refer to ABCDEFGRSTW. In the client it's "Base" wanted to get feedback before I made any changes (I believe we should be using "Base Set" and remove all references to "Basic Set").--NNUMskull (talk) 13:46, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I tried to poke around but my wikicode is rusty and these templates aren't for the rusty. I thought it may have been an issue with categories being assigned to certain pages but revering certain changes doesn't fix it so I doubt it. Is anyone sure how long it's been broken for? I also agree with the "Base Set" change, just for clarity. --Sabre070 (talk) 16:05, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- I assume you refer to my messing around with the categories in {{Unit table by type}}{{Unit infobox}}. That's probably the problem. I don't see anywhere in {{Unit table by type}} that would be affected by that, but my wikicode isn't all that great, especially when we get into all sorts of mediawiki extensions I've never even seen before I got to this wiki (what even is {{#lstsep}}?). I did however notice you only waited about a couple minutes before reverting the changes you made in both cases - it took a pretty long time for everything to update when I made the change at first (which would explain me not noticing that the tables ended up broken). Reverting my edit should fix it, but I'll try the edit to {{Unit table by type}} first, although I'll leave it a bit longer before reverting. Pjoelj (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Looks like that did the trick. I really should've watched a bit closer to see that stuff like that wouldn't happen. Lesson learned and wiki hopefully de-broken. Pjoelj (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Awesome! Thanks. I don't know how template stuff works and was just asking for help. Is anyone strongly opposed to changing references to "Basic Set" to "Base Set" to be consistent with the client? I'll probably make changes in the next couple days unless people are opposed/want to discuss.--NNUMskull (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Unit types with energy
Does anyone else feel that Energy-Green, Energy-Blue, Energy-Red, Energy-Green-Blue, Energy-Green-Red, Energy-Blue-Red and Energy-Green-Blue-Red should be unit types? We already have Energy-Green and Energy-Red units (Trinity Drone and Ossified Drone), but {{Unit type index}} doesn't support those unit types, meaning {{Unit infobox}}, {{Unit panels by type}}, {{Unit table by type}} etc. can't deal with them. I don't think anyone want me to mess with the unit type index any time soon, what with the unit infobox situation. Pjoelj (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, please. They've said that additional units will be added in the coming weeks/months. We don't have the details yet, but probably safe to assume those combinations will be used eventually and should plan for it so the new units can be added when the time comes. --NNUMskull (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
