Template

I really like this design, I looked at the code though and my eyes crossed lol

I have to confess I have no idea how to actually use it. --Skolia (talk) 18:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Bugs

I'm seeing some bugs with the patron bonus amounts. Dear_Diary

Patron/Member

For now, numbers have to be entered without commas - It should be XP=3933 instead of XP=3,933. If there are commas in the base value, the math module that figures out the patron bonus doesn't treat it like a number and comes up with an invalid value. I've asked User:Hsekiu to add an extension that will allow for commas, but it isn't built in by default. Once that extension is available I'll update the template so that it wont matter if commas are used or not on the base value, will be able to calculate the patron value, and will always display with commas where needed. Until then, enter without commas for now and it will work for now, and then when the extension is added and the changes are made, it will continue to work but will be displayed a little prettier Sojourner (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

For the 'swl-patron-xp' field -- that is only if the multiplier needs to be adjusted. So far, it has always been +10% xp and +15% shards, but the fields are in the template just in case it changes for a unique mission. Maybe should have come up with a better name for the field since it isn't the actual XP, but only the percentage multipler. I thought about using swl-patron-% - but not sure symbols work in template names, or if they would maybe break in future updates Sojourner (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Sequins

For the sequins that aren't displaying - see the paramaters tables for codes to use. "SU" for "Sequins of Sunrise" in the Dear Diary example Sojourner (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Ideas

• Support For Standardized Text

I'm not sure if the mediawiki markup can do this kind of thing but...

For standard canned report text like "Your field report has been received" to either have a parameter flag or have the text be a directive like _STANDARD_FIELD_REPORT_. --Skolia (talk) 18:17, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

• For faction specific missions

Faction specific only missions (like "Questions and Answers" or "Sign of the Times") to have an option to completely suppress the display of the other factions in the report.

For now, there is an "all-report" so that you only have to type in the report once if it is the same for everyone. I can make a flag for "Special Assignment" reports and for generic "Received" reports. I think I can do "if 'all-report=generic' then do generic text" and "if 'all-report=assignment' then use special assignment text" and "otherwise if 'all-report' then type it" Sojourner (talk) 21:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

For faction specific - derp, yeah, definately need a "dragon-only=", "illuminati-only=" and "templar-only=" flags. I'll work on getting that added. Sojourner (talk) 21:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
