outfits
I don't know where else to suggest this, so I'll do it here since your character page is the basis of most other people's.

There are templates for damage calculation, for rune making costs, etc. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a template to display which outfits you have on your character? Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge to make this myself. I did think about how the input could be though:

The "sex" attribute would be necessary if the template would show which outfits/addons you have via images, like Pudd Knight does.

I have been thinking about this a little, but I am kinda stuck on it.

What do you expect it will look like? Just a series of pictures of the outfits you have gained? Would there be some "placeholder" image for outfits you have not obtained? Some fancy formatted table (which would end up taking a full page)?

I kinda want you to think about it a little bit, too, but I also am wondering what you kinda expected.

--'' Magister Mundi sum! '' --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 10:39, 11 January 2007 (PST)

Well, I just saw your outfits page and I must say I'm impressed. This is a perfect visualisation of what is needed for a certain addon, plus it displays the image :) What I was thinking is something like you did there, but then even more user friendly by putting it all in a template. You could write...

...which would display one of those fancy tables with all required items. In the above example, I'm talking about a template for a full outfit, which would include all items needed to get the outfit and all addons for that outfit. My suggestion would be making separate templates for each outfit/addon. Those templates only include how many of which items are needed, and are based on another template which creates the tables based on the calculated numbers.

I do realise this sounds like a lot of work though :) So don't worry, I'm just sharing my thoughts.


 * — Mathias (profile, talk) · Favelets · Formulas — 02:12, 21 January 2007 (PST)

I think that is do-able, but pretty complicated. I'll try to find some time to work on it this week.

-- Labra lege  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 11:17, 22 January 2007 (PST)

Alright, I finally got around to making some of those templates:


 * Template:Obtained Outfits/Male Summoner Outfit Cape Addon
 * Template:Obtained Outfits/Female Mage Outfit Tiara Addon
 * Template:Obtained Outfits/Assassin Outfit
 * Template:Obtained Outfits/Assassin Outfit Headpiece Addon

I didn't do more than that. Most of the other outfits and addons should not have templates like this, since they only require one kind of item, or only one or two items. These templates only apply to outfits and addons that require a large number of items.

-- Ecce potestas casei  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 09:00, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I'd like to add some more templates I made this morning: I added new base and called it base2 so that it will use Addon 1.gif pictures. It is the same as base just with this little correction. And, btw, preview picture is not good in Assassin Outfit template as it uses base for template, and template:base shows addons, not outfits. I think it should be made another base for showing outfits.  Djomla  Talk Contributions

 * Template:Obtained_Outfits/Male_Citizen_Outfit_Backpack_Addon
 * Template:Obtained_Outfits/Male_Pirate_Outfit_Pirate_Sabre_Addon

Thanks for doing that, Djomla, but it was really unnecessary to make ones for the Druid Paw addon, or the Citizen backpack addon... you only need to collect two different kinds of items for these. I won't delete them, but it would probably be best to only make these templates for outfits/addons where you need to collect at least 3-4 different kinds of items.

Mysteries
Is there a page about mysteries in this wiki? (With mysteries I mean things like Colossus in Kazordoon, GM Island, how to talk to Arkhotep etc.) I haven't found one and it would be nice to have one :) Art Featherpitch, the seeker of mysteries

No, there is not a page about mysteries in Tibia yet. The closest thing I think we have in the quest spoiler for the Serpentine Tower Quest... it is incomplete, and there is an ongoing discussion about it on its talk page.

I think I would be a little cautious about making such a page. It would be great to have that information on the wiki, but since I'm sure all of the information it might contain would be considered quest spoiling, it needs to be done carefully.

Maybe the page could be exclusively "Unsolved Mysteries".... then as soon as any confirmed information is discovered, that particular item is moved to its own quest page/spoiler (like the Serpentine Tower Quest).

regarding the infobox
I have seen and also worked along with your new adjustment of the infoboxes to automatically include the items category whilst checking the item class. I would like to know if what you have done works in both ways with the creatures, too. (As in, for example in a Fire Elemental page to display who are the elementals of Tibia and so on). If the infobox is edited to work that way, let me know, and I'll add the templates and remove the category links in the pages, the same way I did with the helmets, light sources, food and other stuff along with Pudd.

Edit: I have seen how the infobox works, it checks the class and tries to find the corresponding page in the templates pages.. perhaps we should edit it to include another parsing to the template Infobox_Creature, in a way we could add the race of the creature and thus adjust to the new template standard you have created.

Thanks, 09:36, 1 April 2007 (PDT)

For creatures, it is more complicated than that. I'm still trying to figure out something good for creatures... I'm sure it will look a lot like the new lists for items, but I haven't figured out how it will work behind the scenes yet.

That's interesting... is that maybe like "elemental forces"? Where the Magicthrower, Flame thrower, Lava Hole, Shredderthrower, etc. are all called "Magic Pillars"?

Haha. Anyway, I was browsing the kill stats, and magic pillar is separate from magicthrower, shredderthrower, etc... so it must be a new one... unless CIP changed the name of one of these others. I'll go ahead and add a new page for it.

-- <span title="(latin) I came, I saw, I want to go home">Veni, vidi, volo in domum redire  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 05:59, 5 April 2007 (PDT)

According to Ferumbras page, "Also there are 2 Magic Pillars at his room, which can summon up to 3 Demons each."

If this is true, anybody killed by Demons in Ferumbras' Room (when Ferumbras isn't there) would show in kill statistics as "killed by magic pillar".

Somebody should test it, by going there, killing normal spawn, and watching if more demons are being summoned (by pillars). --Ville-v 05:15, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

Items' Category Revision
Hello there. I've thought about doing a full revision on all items pages, to fix their categories (and their respective lists). I know it will be a huge job, but I'm up to it. I'll also take the chance for applying certain standards (like weight always with YY.X0 oz, etc). However, I supposed you could be working with similar project, so I'm asking here first to avoid working uselessly on something that will change in a near future. So, let me know what are your plans and I'll be able, then, to know what exactly to work with ^^

15:40, 3 April 2007 (PDT)

I think that would be fine, to fix the "itemclass" for the items... it has been a while since that's been done across the board, and I don't have any "big plans" to change how that works.

Keep in mind, that items can only have one "itemclass", but they can belong to multiple categories. Clearly the "itemclass" should be the primary group that the item belongs to.

Good luck updating the items!

I was adding the items template to the Infobox_Item template, and there is going to be an unforeseen side-effect... and spoiler tags and everything placed outside of the infobox template will be pushed to the bottom of the page. This makes any notes like this basically "hidden" on the bottom of the page. As I see it, we have two options (don't hate me, I'm only the messenger):


 * 1) re-add the items template to the bottom of every page (I don't like this idea very much)
 * 2) find every place that has any text placed outside the infobox template, and move it into the "notes" section of the infobox (better solution, but still lots of work)
 * 3) leave the items template off and pretend it doesn't exist (also seems like a poor solution, but would simplify the issue)

Is there any other ideas? What do you guys think?

I had this on mind, a long time ago.. ;P In the start I added the spoiler inside notes and then moved out... well I think solution 2 is fair better and easier. Leaving pages without item template would be a "poor" way, spoilers, we have many but including items again is much harder.. I'll start moving spoilers to notes today, not now, but tonight

I don't like the idea of not leaving the items template, however we could try to work a roundabout on this issue. You could, for instance create something that would work a lot like the spoiler extension, but instead of being the spoiler, it's something that would show "Click here to show all the items classes". That way, it would work a lot better, by clicking in that button, it would extend the boxes with the items category, and beneath it, it would show the spoiler information. It's still weird, but better than leaving the pages without any kind of items template, and it could even be fixed alongside the spoiler information without making the page too messy.

It's your call, though. -- Maverick the hunter ω talk ω contribs 12:27, 6 April 2007 (PDT)

There seems to be some limitation in the wiki software that will not allow the spoiler block to be used in a template... it has to be on the final page.... what that means is we cannot use the spoiler tags in the Infobox Item template... anything in the spoiler tags seems to be discarded.

I think the best solution is to move the spoilers and other things into the notes section of the infobox, but I am still open to more ideas.

When the item has multiple attributes, they are added following way:

Attributes: attr1 attr2 attr3

Couldn't you add comma between them? Then it would look like

Attributes: attr1, attr2, attr3

It would be clearer that way. --Ville-v 05:08, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

First of all... I had not thought about items being included through the "Featured" item template... you are correct. It would be best to leave the "noinclude" tags around the spoilers.

Next... I will look at adding commas between attributes. Commas were not originally added because it would have involved more processing for some simple formatting, but I'll see if I can find a "good" way to do it that will not impact the server any more than necessary.

-- <span title="(latin) Stupid is as stupid does">Stultus est sicut stultus facit  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 07:09, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

I have added the commas in between the attributes, but there are a couple places that the formatting is slightly wrong (extra comma where there should not be one). This appears to be related to the different ways that people type "yes" ("Yes", "yes", "Yes.", etc.), and the case-sensitive nature of the mediawiki parserfunctions. I will take another look at this later, but for now it is mostly correct.

About key list
I was adding missing list for the items infobox, and then on the keys I got a doubt:

Making a list of colors (cooper, silver, etc) or make a list like it's on the keys page, refering to their places... ?

--  &dagger; Pudd Knight &dagger;  Talk <span style="small-caps; border: 0px solid #186fc8; background-color:White; color:#186fc8" title="My Contributions"> Contribs  -- 21:19, 5 April 2007 (PDT)

Another option would be listing the keys in numerical order. Depending on how the list will look, numerical might be the cleanest approach. ~ Uno time

The other option would be to just have "Keys_List" be a full list of all keys... probably sorted numerically.

What do you think would be most useful? When looking at a key page, what makes the most sense for a list on the side?

--'' <span title="(latin) Say, you sure are drinking a lot.">Re vera, potas bene. '' --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 06:20, 6 April 2007 (PDT)

In my opinion as a player, I would first search for their color (example, I have a cooper key #xxxx I'll see cooper keys). BUT, sorting then numerical is somehow better, since every key, doesn't matter the color have your own number, the color is just some reference... but what do you think is better? Numerical or color? (I just discard the location sorting, it's completely useless)

I think the key list by numerical order is good u can follow the exampleof the fansite Tibiahispano in their section of keys  Asklan &dagger;  Talk &dagger;  12:44, 6 April 2007 (PDT)

That would be the easiest way to do it, but consider this.... there seems to be two main ways that people look for keys. First of all... they might have the key number, and want to know what the key is for... another common thing is that a person comes across a locked door, and wants to know which key fits it.

As far as I know, both of these scenarios are common, and I don't know which would be "best" to use on the key pages.

Maybe there's an alternative to the lists like we have on items pages? Any ideas?

The present Keys page already is divided by area, so what do you mean by sorting it by doors? Once nice thing to do for each key, as it is still possible, is to provide a picture or link (tibia.pl?) to the corresponding location of the key's door. If this is done, should it be in a spoiler or not? I think that if a side list is made it should be by area (doors?) since the template already links to the Numerical List of Keys. I tend to have an idea of where most keys come from, but maybe others prefer to check by number..? Also could not two lists be added of location and numerical? --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 15:28, 6 April 2007 (PDT)

Creature Templates
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been trying to make the creature pages more identical to each other (though not as fast as I had hoped). I have a couple of proposals concerning the creature pages. First, I would like to propose the deletion of the sub-sub-templates (ie necromancers) as most of the creatures in these categorys can be shared among many creatures and just seems to make an uneccesary loop in finding creatures. Second, I like how the item lists turned out and I was wondering if that could be done with the creature sub templates (ie human-like, animals). I don't know much about coding so I would probably need someone else to create the template. If a list template was created for each sub category, that would also make the previous sub templates deletable. Thanks and I can't wait to hear from you. ~ Uno time

I agree. Yes, I am working on a way to add lists similar to the items list, but there are some issues I need to work out first (I want to do it right the first time).

Expect to see something in the next week or so. Until then, it's probably best to just leave the "sub-sub-templates" as they are.

One of the issues with creatures is that there is no "creaturetype" or "class" value, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to choose one for each creature (Maverick suggested this before). I am trying to figure out a "good" way to have multiple lists for any given creature, but the largest problem seems to be formatting and appearance... I'm having trouble getting something that is functional, looks good and is easy to read. I'm also in the middle of another project... but hopefully I'll get to this one soon.

Spoilers
I've moved mostly spoilers to notes field with some help from Maverick.

I've checked almost every item, but some items that that are obviously not used in quest, like most rubbish items and some other items I din't checked, so there's maybe one or another item needing spoiler move, but I'm sure 95%+ are OK. Also about the noinclude tags, I've added to some items, in the start I was not adding. I think it's necessary, as happened to Soft Boots, it appear on the main page and it's somehow strange, also for instruments, the notes field appear in the instruments list, so I added to all other edits noinclude tags to prevent anything like that. That was a hard work, but I think now there's nothing more to change to add items template on the infobox (if there's something else, this time I'll be surprised).

That's all for now

After doing that combo of edits, me and Pudd found out that there isn't a template for Quest Items to adequate with your latter infobox adjustment, and after we found it out, we figured it might of fall under the category of quest spoiling if we add it. This is because someone watching the Ice Pick page might see the item that is needed in a following mission, therefore we haven't done anything.

There are a lot of items that are still unsorted, but I'll keep finding them and fixing them out. If you need any major editing to adequate within your infobox adjustment please let us know. Although like Pudd had forementioned, it's hard to think anything else needed to be done..

-- Maverick the hunter ω talk ω contribs 19:13, 8 April 2007 (PDT)

You were right about the noinclude tags, Pudd. I didn't remember about the "Featured" template for items, and I was thinking that the "notes" were not used in any other templates.

I added the items template to the infobox. If you guys see anything else the looks weird with it, let me know. Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm not sure, but it seems these changes created a "huge" bug on several templates, just like on Character_Information. After some tests, Maverick and I concluded it has to do with the items, and these seem to be the only changes that were made to them recently.

gold coins
why it says on loot pages that "unknown" monster drops goldcoins

cant we make a item oage about gold and platinum coins? --  Farscaper  Talk   -- 11:51, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

Um... I guess that would be alright. There are very few creatures that do not drop gold, so I'm not sure what would be best for the "dropped-by" list, but I think it would be fine to have pages for Gold Coin, Platinum Coin and Crystal Coin.

Apology
Just saying am very sorry for making those eddits, I dint knew what to do when i saw him saying he is vandalising the site. I chose to revert his eddits and now i know thats not the best option, I will not make that again i dont whant to get banned from making eddits I whish to keep adding more good info to help players of Tibia. Still think we should keep an eye in "warlord" eddits some of them are clearly wrong and the small eddits in monsters attacks seems like ramdom numbers he choose to add. -  Kwigon the sharpshooter  Talk   -April-9-2007.

It's alright. It sounds like you have figured out what to do next time it happens. Basically, you can't let people get "under your skin" on a wiki.

Troublesome bug
I don't know what the heck is wrong, but I think that after your latter infobox item adjustment, all the templates that had the equips set are jerked. Check your character page and it shows that there is an unrecognised expression in there. The same goes for most of the pages, I don't know what's wrong neither do I know how to debug the problem..

Hope you can do something about it, -- Maverick the hunter ω talk ω contribs 15:12, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

I think I know what the problem is.... I'll check it out.

Okay... it's not a problem with the Items infobox... its a few of the changes you guys made to some of the items pages.

Everywhere you added a &lt;p&gt; to fix some formatting.... it either needs to be removed, or it needs to be closed. (see this edit and edit to see how I fixed these pages).

The wiki software sees the opening &lt;p&gt;, and it tries to "guess" where to put the closing &lt;/p&gt;... this is what is causing this problem. You either need to use extra lines to manipulate the formatting, or you need to supply the closing &lt;/p&gt; where it belongs.

If the P tags are causing these formattings problems, why not include them in the Spoiler template? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work to add them all one by one...


 * — Mathias (profile, talk) · Favelets · Formulas — 09:12, 10 April 2007 (PDT)

Nice idea, but not possible. The spoiler block is a MediaWiki extension, not a template.... and the opening &lt;p&gt; tags are on the individual item pages, so that's where they need to be fixed.

The "&lt;p&gt;" was added when Maverick and Pudd were moving spoilers into the notes section... they added the p tags to make it look better, but they didn't add the closing "&lt;/p&gt;".

I'm not upset or anything, just letting you guys know what happened, and how it can be fixed.

Doh. I thought that "&lt;/p&gt;" tag was a linebreaker, and I had no idea it had to be closed.. I'll talk with Pudd to fix that mess, I'm sorry Whitelaces.

no not that just it is handy for me to have a edit button or i would scroll down so far ;/

The "[edit]" link by each section is added automatically by the wiki software when you have a heading on the page. Some templates suppress the section edit links, though, to prevent unwanted functionality. You can find a little more about this on this page.

Is that what you mean?

infobox item typo
I have seen that in a few shields page there seems to have something wrong with the infobox that is causing to an additional comma to be placed in the end of the defense line. Check for example the Vampire Shield and the Bone Shield. Although both uses the infobox item as a base template, only the bone shield has the forementioned inappropriate comma. I don't know how does the infobox works, so I'm just reporting it here.

Thanks, -- Maverick the hunter ω talk ω contribs 09:17, 14 April 2007 (PDT)

It is probably a whitespace problem. I'll take a look at it.

Is Eva a male?
The description of the banker in Carlin, Eva, may contain an incorrect form ('He exchange...') and has bad grammar. OK, the grammar I could change, but about the sex I'm not sure.

I suppose, the NPC is female, as a male character in Carlin shouldn't be feasable...

Warlock Mortimer
This guy has been editing the attack peaks on various creatures and they seem unproper. I have a feeling he's a vandal. Art Featherpitch - The mispseller - Spam Me 17:47, 22 April 2007 (PDT)

He has already been in an edit war with User:Kwigon the sharpshooter previously, but i do not think he is intentionally trying to cause problems. Frankly, without knowing the actual calculations for every monster's attacks i do not know how you could easily sum up every monsters max damage. There are too many factors, which do change with updates, to be sure. Art, i think as long as the numbers are close it should not be a big deal. If a troll's max damage is changed from 30 to 100, that looks like vandalim, not a GS's max from 270 to 300. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 18:15, 22 April 2007 (PDT)

From what I can tell, DM's observation is correct. It does not appear to be vandalism. If there are specific changes he has made that are questionable, please talk to him about it, or ask on the creature talk page. We should always check eachother's edits to make sure no "bad" information is being added to the wiki.

I have blocked Warlock Mortimer, but not because of the content of his edits.... he was warned to discuss his edits, and then he continued to engage in edit wars over minor things.

Art, I also placed a warning on your talk page for warring over the same edits. Wikipedia has a three-revert rule that seems appropriate for determining if you are in an edit war or not.

Proposal for new category
Hey Whitelaces, Many items on the wiki aren't in a category, especially the loot from bosses (such as orshabaal's brain, countess sorrow frozen tear, imperor's trident). Most likely more of these items will come (possibly juggernaut boss). Mamny of these items are now valuables or creature products. So how about making a category "Boss trophies" or something like that?

It might be useful to have a list like that, but I also think they should be placed in categories by what type of item it is...

For example, the imperor's trident should probably be in the "Tools" category, with the pitchfork, rake, and other tools ... Orshabaal's brain should be in the "Creature Products" category, etc., etc.

No matter what different lists (or how many lists) an item is on, the "itemclass" should always be descriptive of the item's primary function in-game, or in real life if it has no known function in-game.

Equip set
I was watching now, my equipment set was using as weapon/shield sov + mms and the "defense" value was both of then. It has been prooven that the only defense that counts is the highest (in my case, mms) so the template should show only the highest defense, and do not show then both together. Is this possible?

Semantic MediaWiki Extension
I'm just wondering if the Semantic MediaWiki Extension wouldn't be a good addition to TibiaWiki, as it would be able to auto-generate the Items- or Monstertables and you could even search for specific Items (which food-item has a higher Regen/Weight-Rating than normal meat?). You can sort these tables and won't have to worry anymore if they are correct if any item changes (as the changes made in Item-Pages would obviously be ported to the tables). I would be happy to help updating the pages for Semantic MediaWiki.
