hello

welcome to the wiki. If I can be of help, let me know. - Zoycite

re: color

I believe the colors chosen are meant to match the colors in the game. Ask Lorak990 which to do, he knows the LoTS section better than anyone. Though If you need a particular color it could be added. I no longer play LoTS. Thanks - Zoycite

Colors used

Thought i'd add the list of colors that should be in use for linking categories with the LotS/ColorLink template, i'll check the other color template's later, as there are slightly different colors used.Lorak990 14:27, 23 July 2012 (CDT)

Color Link Tester

Lab: DeepSkyBlue

Expeditions: GreenYellow

Honor: Violet

Galaxy Dome: SkyBlue

Stamina: Gold

Facilities: Gainsboro

Missions: SpringGreen

Gifts: PeachPuff

Shop/Gs Items: White


What about the colors used for linking other items? Say that I want to link a game item, using the color of the item to link. Also: where are these colors stored? Are they wiki defaults? If I had to take a guess, it looks like the Lots/ColorLink template uses wiki default colors, and the color associated with the Item template uses the custom colors that override the wiki defaults. Any way to make these match? Klaxxin 15:57, 23 July 2012 (CDT)


Color Link Tester - Item Types

Legendaries: Red

Epic: Orange

Rare: Purple

Uncommon: Blue

Uncommon: Green

Common: Brown

Common: Grey

GS Items: Yellow

Quest: Light Blue

GD Item: Pink

Ability Text: BurntOrange

I think the shop items should stay white, but GS items should be linked yellow. Is there any way to force ColorLink to use the special definitions on the wiki? Using Colorlink these colors are wrong... Klaxxin 16:15, 23 July 2012 (CDT)

Yes the colors were default wiki colors with bypass using the Colorlink template which you can add any color hex code to, It looks like you already made the changes/extra color templates to override the default wiki colors by name, i agree on the white for credit items and yellow for GS purchases, ill make a couple of extra templates for current expeditions/expired and limited time items to use "LotS/Cexp", "LotS/Rexp", "LotS/Limited" later today Lorak990 14:50, 24 July 2012 (CDT)

Added the 3 Templates, and updated the ships page items with expired/current/ still need to do limited and build a page for Expired Expeditions Lorak990 20:28, 24 July 2012 (CDT)

user registration

Thanks, I restored the super secret narwhal captcha. Since it was a code modification, when I upgraded the code it got clobbered. Looks like not a lot of damage was done - Zoycite (talk)

congrats on admin

I have made you wiki Administrator since you seem to be very active in the LotS section. Please ensure that email address is up to date in wiki preferences if other wiki admins need to contact you off wiki. We have an admin AIM chat, if you would like to join please email "zoywiki" on gmail.com. - Zoycite (talk)

  • Thanks! I hope to have the entire LotS wiki cross-checked in a few months, and I have some other ideas for making the LotS wiki better. Klaxxin (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2012 (MDT)

moved articles

Please make sure to update the links on the LotS main page and the Sidebar, thanks MediaWiki:Sidebar. The naming is case sensitive so you may have inadvertently broken some other links as well. Zoycite (talk) 16:02, 3 August 2012 (MDT)

  • Thanks for the heads up. I checked the "what links here," but I forgot the sidebar :). Klaxxin (talk) 16:03, 3 August 2012 (MDT)
    • I linked in original post but i think you got it Zoycite (talk) 07:15, 4 August 2012 (MDT)

thanks

Borrowed your item nav box for LoH section. Made my life a lot easier. Thanks. Zoycite (talk) 04:28, 7 August 2012 (MDT)

  • Glad you found another use for it. Klaxxin (talk) 07:54, 7 August 2012 (MDT)

re sidebar

Sidebar is located at: MediaWiki:Sidebar. Also I can help on LotS templates. Just need to know what you are trying to do. Also try to add articles / tutorials to the Zoywiki page. Zoycite (talk) 09:23, 7 August 2012 (MDT)

Just Saying Hello/ RMI formatting

Hey Klaxxin, I know you're mod over a lot of the LotS stuff. Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm probably going to totally rework a lot of the requirements listing for the Riddle Master Hunt stuff. I started a forum thread today to get some input from users about what they'd prefer to see, but I figured I would let you know personally as well.

  • Are you intending for the labex and labex2 labels to be used on something like Deathmachine? It's technically a lab experiment component, but at the same time, it's also a stand alone item (crew). I went ahead and applied it to Deathmachine just as test look and see, but I kind of don't think it especially fits.
  • Yeah, labex 2 makes Deathmachine look ugly. Lets use labex2 only on items that are "experiment items" or "collection items." I'll see if I can't think of something better for items that are part of lab experiments. Klaxxin (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2012 (MDT)
  • For now, I've gone ahead and applied labex and labex 2 to every item involved in Riddle Master Hunt chains, both the hidden items and the thing being upgraded (when applicable). It still looks a little weird, but at the same time, the information is more accurate, so there's a tradeoff, I guess. If you want, I can revert the ones that are similar to Deathmachine, as mentioned, or we can leave it until there's an alternate solution. Which do you prefer? Also, I didn't see one, so I added a LotS/RaidLink template that automatically colors RaidLinks. Like Professor Squid or Guldax Quibberath (Currently doesn't handle Vince Vortex as a Galaxy Dome raid, but we can talk about that). Last thing, I think we can use varpulls to shorten the labex template to {{LotS/Labex|dragoncycle}} instead of {{LotS/Labex|dragoncycle|Dragon Cycle}}. Anywhere we can avoid repeating text seems like a good idea to me.
  • No quibble with any of your ideas. Vince should be colored Green, since it is an energy raid. I also support your use of varpulls to shorten labex, but I'll leave that to you. I'm not terribly sophisticated when it comes to CSS and wiki markup. I'm more focused on aesthetics and ease of use. Klaxxin (talk) 10:40, 11 August 2012 (MDT)
