Forum Link
Hi Larry,

Are you aware of how to get the forum link for the shards? I know some are not yet available, however if you do not, simply check the URL to the forum and copy everything after the ? there.

IE:


 * This: http://forums.riftgame.com/forumdisplay.php?79-Greybriar-PvE-US
 * Becomes This: |forum=79-Greybriar-PvE-US

In the template calling.

 * ok cool ill take a look in a while at the forums, should really be working but as the boss in a meeting i thought i would do some of this as well ;) Is there anything that you guys would like me to work on rather than just jumping all over the place??

 * posted on the shardinfobox talk page but just so you know the forums links have changed format on the Trion game site, the old links still appear to work thou (for the moment) new format is 160-Aedraxis (they lost the -PVP-US part.   Larryl0099  talk &bull; cont 18:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Guild Pages

 * Hey Larry, there is a cache that may delay updates for 7-10 minutes in some situations to users however we've done some recent changes to templates, if you can link me any examples that are not working I'll dig into it more.   Maygus  talk &bull; cont 02:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The Example i gave on the template guild page is still not working, i have taken a look at the shard Byriel, but i cant see where the guilds on shard bits gets pulled from (assumes thats the SMW stuff that was mentioned, On each of the guilds that i have looked at that are not working there is a category for guild:servername EG Category:Dimroot Guilds that appears not to exist yet, however even when creating it and waiting a bit it still doesnt work :(
 * This is the NOT WORKING EXAMPLE the page Guild:Corrupted_Essence should show up on the Guilds section on Shard:Dimroot, the guild page has the |server=Dimroot line on it and there is a link on the page that brings up the shard page, but the guild is not shown under the guild section.


 * This is the WORKING EXAMPLE the page Guild:Afterlifeguild links to the shard page Shard:Byriel and it also shows up in the guild section of that shard page, as do several other guilds.
 * im still a noob in terms of the backend works on a wiki and dont even know what SMW stands for. I have also noticed that when adding a new guild that the server list drop down is missing a lot of servers, is that related? think ill go find a wiki's for dummies book and see if i can help myself to help you guys.

 * On the server list, it is currently set to (in Form:Guild to be:

Sunrest,Faeblight,Lotham,Seastone,Briarcliff,Wolfsbane,Greybriar,Shatterbone,Byriel,Belmont,Deepstrike,Shadefallen,Reclaimer,Snarebrush,Gnarlwood,Keenblade,Spitescar,Akala,Argent,Cloudborne,Blightweald,Brisesol,Brutwacht,Firesand,Icewatch,Rubicon,Steampike,Trübkopf,Whitefall So it obviously needs the full list (which is insane atm I admit). On the topic of SMW that means 'Semantic Mediawiki' which is the enhancement to standard wiki stuff we added that allows things like the form, etc. -- Ciovala Talk 18:54, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * ok if that's going to fix it I'll update that list wen I get back from seeing my kid in a few hours --larry via iPhone ;)
 * Ok ive updated the server list for the dropdown box using the currently listed servers on the wiki's shard page, nice and quick job when using notepad and find and replace ;), Ive just created a test guild Guild:Larryltest but it still doesnt show up on the guilds section on the shard page Shard:Dimroot. at a loss as to what is not linking as i dont understand where the guilds section on a shard page pulls its information.

 * ive updated a few guilds today that were pointing to an incorrectly shown shard name, the first few updated on the shard page without issue, but the last 4-5 didnt update till i edited the shard page (no change) made and then saved it again, i did leave it for 15 mins before making the change to the shard page, would this be related to the cache that you mention above Maygus?? do i just need to leave it longer and let some background process run?, well at least it cleared a couple of items off the wantedpages list :)   Larryl0099  talk &bull;  cont 18:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
