User talk:Asteria

I'm going to leave your placeholders there for 48 hours. If you don't actually have the content done for them yet, I'm going to delete them and let you work on them in your userspace until they're ready to go live. Placeholder pages are no bueno (have had to delete too many of them from editors that got distracted and forgot what they were doing :x) Look forward to see what you come up with ^_^ - Rari Talk 21:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Ah sorry about that, didn't know the rules. I guess just delete them now, im still trying to figure out how to do all this wiki stuff. I will start with bow progression but i need to fiddle around with how to create tables. I assume the easiest thing to do copy and past a premade table from (like starting races and stats for a class) and just expanding that and plugging in my own information.. or is their a template for that?

Ok i added all the bows that a level 65 would use and put them into a large table (although i think the "proc" section is unnecessary now) and they are all jumbled up. Next to the "ratio" tab there is a button that you can push to put all the ratios in order from lowest to highest which is what i want but refreshing puts it back into the jumbled state. Is there a way to tell it to always arrange it from lowest ratio to highest OR do i need to remake it and put them in the order they need to be from the start? --Asteria 23:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd suggest updating the bows you want on your list to the new item format that are still in old format (I'll start working on the ones you have listed). If you do that, I'll make you a template you can use to pull the information from those item pages so you're not just writing in plain text - that's dangerous, because if the items are updated, your page won't be updated. - Rari Talk 23:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I have tried to update some of the bows like you asked but every time i go to save the changes the web page times out with this error: ""Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/userwiki/includes/parser/Parser.php on line 2760"" Maybe im doing something wrong but i dont know what. Im using Firefox as my browser if that makes any difference or not.

Edit: i just looked at the item i updated to the new format and it did infact get updated tot he new style even though i got the time out message. I guess it is something im just going to have to deal with as im going through the list.

That happens sometimes, when the server is being especially slow. We've all dealt with it occasionally ;) Like, just now when I was editing the bow you updated (see the dif here.) - Rari Talk 18:00, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
