Thanks for helping clean up the wiki info. For the dollar values, gold coins were intentionally priced at $100 even though it wasn't the lowest common denominator -- I put more comments at the top of [[Talk:Trading]]. --[[User:Tycho44|Tycho44]] 03:04, 18 May 2006 (BST)

''*ping*'' On the [[Animals]] page you said that Shark bites persist, but this should probably be reported as one of the [[Bugs]]. On the [[Game design]] page, the first section (Persistent Shark Bites), [[User:Simon|Simon]] claims that:

==Shaman redirects==
+
:''Response: [[User talk:John Sevier#Misspelled SCS page]]''
Re: [[Shaman]]. Yeah, my thinking was redirecting the village shaman names to the shaman page since they aren't moving right now. However, I think it is beneficial to keep the wandering shaman articles listed individually so that chronological reports can easily be made and very geeky shaman tracking data can be extrapolated. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 04:46, 23 May 2006 (BST)
 
  
:You're right, tracking them over time would be interesting and probably insightful. How about redirecting their pages to [[Shaman]] and tracking them by commenting out previous date/time information each time the table is updated? The advantages would be that we would have all shaman information in one place and that each sighting would require only one edit. It'd be tricker to update, but not terribly difficult. A few comment tags in the code and an explanation in the article should be enough for most users to understand the process. — [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] 04:54, 23 May 2006 (BST)
 
  
::I'm not sure if the current table layout would work because it would become increasingly difficult to dig through the growing commented code to record new data. Will the data be stored under headings for each shaman to allow for quick section edits? --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 05:12, 23 May 2006 (BST)
 
  
:::Yes, code clutter could be a problem. I think the best way to limit it would be to leave the current table alone and put a big comment tag under it. It would look something like this (feel free to edit this yourself):

:::This would be accompanied by a note on the article: "When you see one of these [wandering] shamans, please edit this article and move the old GPS and time to the 'Previous Sightings' comment tag that you will see." Even if we don't do this, wandering shamans should get their own section in order to make updates easier to make and also easier to summarize (since edit summaries for section edits automatically start with the section's name).
 
 
 
:::BTW, I previously changed "coordinates of spring" to "coordinates" because springs are invisible and inseparable from their respective village shamans. Traders, on the other hand, can apparently leave their huts, which is why the related column header on [[Trader]] reads "coordinates of hut". &mdash; [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] 05:38, 23 May 2006 (BST)
 
 
 
::::I was just thinking... We could tear down the existing shaman pages to list only the most recent coordinate and timestamp.

We then reference the individual pages using the composite page mechanics on the Shaman page. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 06:02, 23 May 2006 (BST)
 
 
 
:::::''Beautiful''. If that works, and I don't see why it shouldn't if we use the <nowiki><nowiki> and <noinclude></nowiki> tags properly, the current locations of wandering shamans would be shown on [[Shaman]] and their rovings (and current positions) would be displayed on their respective pages. That sounds like a great plan. &mdash; [[User:Elembis|Elembis]] 07:31, 23 May 2006 (BST)

== Capitalization and article names ==
 
''Original message: [[User talk:Lint#Capitalization and article names]]''
 
:Hah. Yes, I had a sudden urge to change the capitalization when I saw your edit for Tips and Tricks linking to the UI article. But then I was suddenly struck by seeing how practically nothing links to that page and I couldn't really forsee anything else really linking to it in the future. I settled on leaving things as they are for now. I think the current assortment of articles with multiple capitalization - Character Classes, Game Design, Requests for Information, Search Odds Condensed, Tips and Tricks, Trading Hut Stock Reports, and User Interface - are acceptable since they are not as widely referenced as others (though Character Classes might need a Class redirect). I just don't see a pressing need to retroactively enforce the lower-casing policy right now. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 08:48, 27 May 2006 (BST)
 
::''Response: [[User talk:Lint#Capitalization and article names]]''
 
:::Please feel free to do so, I see no problem with reasonable article renaming. I guess the Clan categorization needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later as it will be quite a chore to do anything about it in the future. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 09:37, 27 May 2006 (BST)
 
 
 
== Links and redirects ==
 
Looking at the links on the Writing page is a bit of a nightmare. While they helpfully point the reader to the proper location, they become a little unwieldly when moving pages around. We have redirects for items and terrain, I say we might as well use them. I'm also considering creating redirects for AP, HP, and XP to Gameplay. Sound sensible? --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 00:00, 28 May 2006 (BST)

==Style==
 
Elembis, I'm not sure if you use the forum, but I've made a [http://shartak.forumsplace.com/message153.html proposal] to adjust the template code. Since you've had first-hand experience writing an alternative style and a Greasemonkey script, your insight would be appreciated. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 16:44, 1 June 2006 (BST)

''Original message: [[User talk:Lint#Discussion locations for delete-marked pages]]''
 
:Prior to utilizing the Category_talk:Delete page as a deletion log, I was considering setting something up like Project:Deletions, but it seemed too formal (and like too much work). But the argument that a hub would reduce unnecessary page creation and be easier to keep track of makes sense.

== How to capitalise skill names like First Aid (vs first aid) ==
 
 
 
Simon weighed in in favor of all lowercase (except for the first word) when referring to skill names, and he changed the appearance of Shartak profiles and Shartak skill pages to use an all lowercase standard. Since this is also de facto universal wiki standard, this strongly favors switching over to all-lowercase skill names throughout the wiki. Let me know if you have opinions. Thanks! --[[User:Tycho44|Tycho44]] 22:30, 16 June 2006 (BST)
