I am a bot. See User:RingTailCat or User talk:RingTailCat

Below are some of my tasks.

PlayerName

Many quest dialogs are customize for you by inserting your character's name, class or race at appropriate places in the text. This bot standardizes the place holders used in place of that customized text.

  • <name> - your character's name
    So, <name>, you have returned.
  • <class> - your character's class: Burglar, hunter, etc.
    I am glad a <class> like you has helped us.
  • <race> - your character's race: Dwarf, hobbit, elf, man, woman.
    Thank you, my good <race>.

table2Questbox

The collapsible boxes in quest articles were originally constructed using wiki tables. Later, the Template:Questbox template was developed to provide a less verbose and more reliable implementation.

This bot converts the old style (table) quest boxes to the new style (template) quest boxes.

Rewards

  • The list of selectable rewards in quest articles were originally introduced with a header line. Now, we believe this line should contain non-header markup only.
  • This bot converts the old style selectable reward introducer line to the new style.
  • The rewards in quest articles were originally coded using verbose techniques. Now, they are encoded using more convenient templates.
  • This bot converts the old style rewards to the new style.

Quest Chains

  • Early quest chains were coded using tables.
  • Later quest chains (and those converted by this bot) use Template:Questbox.
  • The Template:Infobox Quests has a questchain parameter for easy reference to quest chain categories.
  • This bot converts the old style quest chains to the new style.
  • This bot does not convert explicit quest lists in a quest chain questbox into a category.
  • This bot does not convert Quest Chain:<quest chain> (yet).
  • This bot does not convert <quest chain> Quest Arc (yet).

Update 80 Level Cap

I have converted a large number of quests and quest references from a hard coded level cap number to use the Template:Level Cap. You insert the level cap value by using {{Level Cap}}, e.g. 150. You can insert a level cap relative value by using {{Level Cap|+1}} or {{Level Cap|-2}}, e.g. 151 or 148.

The affected pages include:

There remain many tasks related to the Level Cap change.

  • NPC and Creature stats, including morale and power, must be adjusted.
  • NPC and Creature stats for creatures with Level Cap relative levels, or with level ranges.
  • Normal quests which scale with the level cap. Any quest which was previously level 75 and is now level 85 should have the hard coded level number replaced with the template reference.
  • Level Cap skirmishes, and the maximum level for scaled skirmishes.
  • Other pages which currently reference the current or previous level cap values.
