Pages Needing Images category split[edit]

Hey! Since you've done quite some work on categories, not the least Online image categories, I wonder if we can split the huge "pages needing images" into a little bit more manageable categories. "NPC pages needing images", "quest pages needing images" and "place pages needing images" is what I'm basically after. I just can't work with a category with 11000+ pages in, and I really want to focus on getting at least all place images up :P Tib (talk) 13:42, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I would love to have this happen, but I'm not sure how best to do it. If it helps, I've got a list of place pages stored locally. I was planning on doing some work on that in the next few weeks, but I'm too busy with other stuff this weekend to play. I think we might be able to simply add a parameter to the Template:NeedsImage template, and then alter the templates which automatically add it such as Template:Online NPC Summary and Template:Online Quest Header so that they would fill that parameter in appropriately. Any other solution would require a bot to examine and change all 11000+ pages, which would be a major hassle. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 16:57, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Furthering on Lurlock's work, I've added the subcategorizations to most templates. I only just got up, and didn't feel awake enough to figure out {{Cleanup-mwop-npc}}, which is done a bit oddly, so that one's not done. There were also one or two other templates that came up that I couldn't figure out how they were calling NeedsImage, but once the re-categorization is done, we'll be in a better place to see what still needs doing.

Oh good, I was trying to figure out how to do that Template:Parameter Check one without breaking anything... — TheRealLurlock (talk) 17:38, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
My heroes, Lurlock and RobinHood! :D Yes, I can already see these red categories popping up, however their names are missing a "-". So it says "OnlinePlace Pages Needing Images", but it should probably be "Online-Place Pages Needing Images"? Tib (talk) 18:20, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
I was trying to make it put a space in between, but it didn't work. A hyphen is easier, I guess. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

() I did the MWOP ones and I think I did it that way because the summary was adding the banner, but not adding it to the category for some reason, so I added it to the cleanup template. I can't remember for sure though. Jeancey (talk) 20:37, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Lurlock: Spaces before and after a pipe in an #if statement are ignored, so that's why that didn't work. Without testing, I'm not sure what would've worked in the particular instance, but common solutions in similar situations are to use a <nowiki/> just before the space, or to use &#32; instead of a space. In the middle of a category tag, though, you might've had to get more creative. Robin Hood  (talk) 00:23, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Lagomere/Redolent Loam Border[edit]

Based on the maps, it seems the border is actually the cliff face to the west of the river, not the river itself, putting the immediate western bank of the river (including the main road to Obsidian Gorge/Mzithumz) in Lagomere, but the house itself in Redolent Loam (due to it being within the cliff). I thought Lagomere therefore made more sense, as the access route is entirely within Lagomere. --Enodoc (talk) 15:42, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

The Subzones are fairly meaningless anyhow. We could just say it's on the border. It doesn't really matter that much. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
