Relocating Keys to Top of Profiles

[Deagonx]

If it can not be accurately handled by a Bot, we will not allow the change in the first place.

Yeah, Promestein indicated that it will be a large undertaking even with bots, so it might wait until after the holidays, and at that point we could do a test run on a single profile, and then maybe a small batch of profiles, before attempting it on increasingly large sections of the site.

I don't use MassEdit that much so I'm not sure how fast it'll be. I also have my own schedule to worry about, but once I'm done with striking strength I'll do this.

Thank you for the help.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, Promestein is really awesome, but she still needs proper exactly worded programming instructions regarding how this should be handled in the best manner.

I sent her the instructions I used in a private message.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is great then. Thanks a lot for helping out.

 

[Promestein]

Yeah, I got all that, I just wanna get the simpler task out of the way first.

Also, feel free to instruct @Elizhaa , @AKM sama , and @Damage3245 in private regarding how they can help you out, if they are willing to do so.

If the relocation of keys can be done using some programming/bots, I can look into it.

It can be done using MassEdit, I tested it above.

 

[ImmortalDread]

If it can be done through Massedit and it has been tested, what is the issue exactly? Is it about Prom schedule?

 

[Damage3245]

How so? As far as I'm aware MassEdit wouldn't allow you to move the keys like this.

I reached out to some folks on dev.fandom.com and one of them gave me instructions on how it could be done using MassEdit. I tested it on a personal wiki with some copied profiles, described in this comment. I sent the instructions to Promestein for when she's done editing the Striking Strength, but I can share it with whomever.

 

[ElajRuengies]

So... Boros's keys have been moved to just under his Tier. Does that mean this is officially in progress now?

I don't think it is quite yet, otherwise Prom would've told us by now.

 

[ElajRuengies]

Huh, well then I guess that's gotta be reverted(?)

 

[Promestein]

It's not a big deal

 

[Antvasima]

I will revert it for the time being for the sake of consistency.

 

[Antvasima]

It's not a big deal

How are your preparations proceeding btw?

@Promestein

 

[Promestein]

Still getting through my holidays

 

[Antvasima]

No problem. Please take care and rest and recuperate properly.

 

[Bobsican]

Bump? I think quite sufficient time may have passed now to at least bring up the topic again.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it depends on if @Promestein is willing to handle the work or not, and if she and @Deagonx think that her Bot's mass-editing program can handle it properly.

 

[ElajRuengies]

So, what's the status on this?

 

[Deagonx]

I think Promestein had been swamped from the holidays. Alternatively I am willing to work on it.

 

[Bobsican]

I'm sure you need to be a mod to even use a bot.

 

[Deagonx]

I'm sure you need to be a mod to even use a bot.

You'd need the wikia account to be granted privileges, but it's up to whomever makes that decision.

 

[Antvasima]

@Promestein

Do you still think that this is a good idea that is worth the work effort involved, and if so, would it be safe to apply via a script?

 

[Promestein]

It's a fine idea, I've just been busy. I haven't tested it out yet but it's probably safe

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Can you test it on some pages first please, to make certain that it won't mess anything up?

 

[ElajRuengies]

Bump

 

[Antvasima]

@Promestein

What do you think that we should do here?

 

[Promestein]

I've been busy, I'll try something soon

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. Please keep us updated here before you initiate any major changes.

 

[Promestein]

I tested it out with a page or two and it worked. Which is expected.

It may miss some, though, I'm not sure how to work MassEdit as well, so different syntaxes might not get flagged by it.

Certainly possible, though. Will take a while.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks a lot for your help.

However, we also need to adjust the structure and header image in the following page:

Standard Format for Character Profiles

When there are multiple versions of a character that are distinct enough to be split into several profiles, whether it is due to the length and complexity of the page or versions from different mediums, then the multiple pages that are created as a result of this have to be linked by a tabber...

@Damage3245 @Starter_Pack @Dereck03 @Just_a_Random_Butler @Crazylatin77 @ElixirBlue @Nehz_XZX

Would any of you be willing to help out with this please?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Do you think it would be a good idea to replace the current picture with a more contemporary one? The current one appears to be quite outdated, and I have a few ideas on how we could update it.

We need to replace the picture anyway, so go ahead and draft a new one if you'd like.

 

[Antvasima]

That would be extremely appreciated, yes.

Thanks a lot for helping out.

 

[Crazylatin77]

Seems fine by me. So, what's the current consensus? Will it be done by bots or manually?

 

[Antvasima]

By Promesteins Bot account, as she is really awesome as always, but we also need to restructure the page layout instruction page that I mentioned above, and likely the one for items as well.
