Post what extensions you would like to see on the wiki.
| Extension | Notes |
|---|---|
| ParserFunctions | For flexible templates |
| Pipe Escape | |
| ConfirmEdit | For spam control, although Kornel said he will think this out first. |
| Semantic MediaWiki | To automatically generate lists (such as list of deep elves and Table of Armours), and allow users to make custom queries. |
ParserFunctions is crucial for creating elegant, flexible templates. Please install ASAP. Pex 11:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Whose palm do we have to grease to get ParserFunctions installed? This type of functionality could be very useful--Petzl 08:49, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- In January we'll be upgrading the ChaosForge Wiki's to 1.20, which will add ParserFunctions from core. If by February this isn't done, you can officially stab me with a pointy thing until it's done --Epyon 06:26, 20 December 2012 (CET)
Semantic MediaWiki would offer two main advantages. First, most lists and tables on the wiki could be automatically generated. This means that most existing lists/tables could be kept automatically in sync, and it also means that adding more useful tables would be trivial. For example, I think it might be nice to have, on every page like list of deep elves, a summary table showing HP, HD, MR, etc., of each monster. The second advantage is that users can make custom queries, such as "show me all backgrounds and their starting spells" (i.e., spells from the starting spell books). -- Roy 18:29, 17 February 2013 (CET)

Old site
Okay, does anyone know why the password on the old site stopped working? I was migrating a bunch of species articles and then it died... I hope I wasn't doing something incorrectly. -Ion frigate 23:38, 20 December 2012 (CET)
- Should be fixed now. Next time e-mail me as soon as something like that happens! --Epyon 23:56, 20 December 2012 (CET)
- Thanks! I will, next time. -Ion frigate 00:04, 21 December 2012 (CET)
Background articles
Just a general notice, I think a lot of these may be outdated, and they also tend to be woefully short. Admittedly, background isn't that significant, and I think that's why a lot of these articles haven't gotten much attention, but still, it's something we should work on (although it probably will have to wait until we have most or all of the articles moved over).
Something that will likely take a while
Just a general notice: redirects. They're never in categories on the old wiki, meaning they can't be conveniently exported. Thus, they're pretty much going to have to be created manually. So, if you see a red link in an article, search to see if the topic already exists, and if it does, create a redirect. -Ion frigate 02:14, 23 December 2012 (CET)
Strategy guides
A general guideline I think we should adopt for anyone writing a guide, and one that should be retroactively applied to already-written guides as much as possible: say the version(s) you are basing your guide on. That should give newer players a decent impression of how up-to-date/out-of-date the guide is. -Ion frigate 22:32, 6 February 2013 (CET)
- This should probably apply to all articles. Perhaps it should be a goal to tag EVERY article with what version it applies to?
