Category talk:Player Characters

Ok, I need some help from an advanced wiki guru. How do we sort the list by the characters name and not User?

This will make the directory useless.

I tweaked one category so it sorts by 'name' --Hinney 15:14, 17 April 2007 (PDT)

Sweet! Thanks so much!

New category?

What do we feel about adding a American and European player catergory? I think it would be a nice asset. Or am i getting carried away with category use? --Blakborn 03:25, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

My first thought was "Yes!", my second was, isn't that covered by the server category anyway? Also, could it be automatically generated from the server category? DancesInTrees 03:36, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

Well I was looking for European players and could not find any. So I started looking for european servers and could not see a clear difference between US and EU server names. Thats how I got to starting the new category.--Blakborn 09:47, 27 April 2007 (PDT)

Create Page Test

Will this help a bit? It should at least auto-create the page and insert the template ready to be filled out.

<createarticle> type=createarticle usersubpage=true preload=Template:PC preload editintro=Template:PC instruction buttonlabel=Create width=20 </createarticle>

I need to find a way to get this extension insert the wiki user name automatically that way only the Player Character names needs to be entered. --Hinney 22:57, 20 April 2007 (PDT)

Brilliant. And stop looking in my brain. I was just thinking about this the other day. I am also going to tackle another look for the template. Maybe something more along the lines of wikipedias Musician template or something. --Ealdor 17:20, 23 April 2007 (PDT)

Ok i hacked the extension... first two lines in the <createarticle> wiki code are required. Have fun with it. --Hinney 21:53, 23 April 2007 (PDT)

WOW, just WOW. Very nice work Hinney. I will get it implemented and spread the word. I also updated the template. --Ealdor 22:01, 23 April 2007 (PDT)

news bug

seems to be a bug with the < news > extension no showing the 5 latest new characters --Hinney 01:03, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

it does show them, but it also shows new subcategories like <serve> Characters including main page into this category and showing just a bullet with no text in the table... --Xander 11:25, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

Additions to the Profile

Hello,

Is it possible to add eye color and birthday to the physical description, I think it would add to nice fatures and then you can stratch the physical description next which doubles up. -Baraphor 05:42, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

maybe add characterplanet.com as an option for creating character profiles?

I have my profile already listed there and it's pretty easy to do. Just a suggestion.

characterplanet.com is a social networking site like myspace where these character pages are more geared for roleplaying or just sharing information about your toons --Hinney 15:25, 28 April 2007 (PDT)

Sorting?

Would it be better if we sorted by Player Character Name (aka subpagename) instead of the actual page name? --Hinney 18:28, 14 June 2007 (PDT)
