* Updating all templates for next release of [[Wiki Swiss Tool]].
* Moving from format heavy page templates to variable based page templates (will aid data entry speed and provide flexibility in updating formatting in the future).
* Live images fixed to not overlap in small browser windows and not appear at all if no image specified.
* Move template links listed below up the chain as progress is made.

 | Text = Instead of making a unique template for rares, I added an optional line to the [[Template:Intro|<nowiki>{{Intro}}</nowiki>]] template. Adding '''Rare Number = ''' makes a link displaying the rare number on the far right. For example, [[Mirrored Justice]].

I was able to construct the [[Armor Template]] so that it can handle all the different types of armor, so the clothing, robe, masks & guises, and shields have all been folded into a single template. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 11:26, 19 February 2009 (CST)

 | Text = I'd like to bring spell templates back into discussion. Currently we have some copy/paste tables that I put together, but no wiki templates. And the tables were pretty much just my work without much input from others.

The current copy/paste table template is here: [[Standard Spell Template]] with examples here: [[Armor (Spell)]] and here: [[Blood Drinker (Spell)]]

One important thing is recently someone (I am blanking on who it was) harvested all the spell data from the .dat files which gives us categories and spell difficulty and other information we may not have had. I think some of this could be added to the templates. I think difficulty would be a great addition. So I think there is still room for improvement on both the [[Standard Spell Template]] and the [[Cantrip Template]] before we possibly turn them in to wiki templates.

 | Text = Yeah that list is really cool, especially with all the creature only spells. But the stacking info is invaluable, that stuff was a major pain to track down and test in game for all the combinations. I've got a few ideas I'm working on and will post them as soon as I'm done.
