Changes Summary

Welcome!

While we appreciate your updates to the various Safeguard and Mayhem articles (temp powers, etc), I would greatly appreciate if you could provide brief descriptions of the changes you make in the Summary: field below the edit box. You scared me at first, looked like another malicious bot had edited random pages (no summary, all minor edits. Glad it wasn't .

Happy editing! --Konoko 16:39, 23 January 2007 (PST)

Welcome!

Hello, Eabrace, and welcome to the Paragon Wiki! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the Forum, which will use the same name/password that you used when you signed up with the wiki. If you ever feel the need to change your password, you will need to do so there instead of here in the wiki. And there's even a RSS Feed, if you're into that.

Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There is a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info, and what you want to add might already be there.

Again, welcome!

Thanks. (Using this as a convenient excuse to play with the colon and signature code.) --Eabrace 17:02, 25 January 2007 (PST)

If you want to play around with editing, I highly encourage you to check out the WikiMedia sandbox page. Anything you change on it will be blown away daily. Go nuts and have fun! --TonyV 21:03, 25 January 2007 (PST)

Invention Sets

Just noticed that you're helping out with the set and enhancement pages. Thanks! Is there a pattern to which pages you're doing? I don't want to duplicate effort. There's a couple of minor things on the enhancement pages you probably aren't aware of that are biting you:

• Please round the enhancement effects numbers to one decimal place, i.e. 12.8 instead of 12.8125. The extra digits make the table too wide for folks running 1024x768 screens.
• The "margin=4" thing I add sometimes in the DropRecipeTable is for the special case where a second-of-three table is shorter than the one before it. If margin isn't added at the end, then narrowing the window would put table 2 to the right of table 1, and table 3 directly below table 2, which looks weird. The margin adds some space to the end of table 2 to knock table 3 to the left margin in these cases. Most tables don't need it.
• The third parameter to DropRecipeTable is the number of data rows in the table, i.e. for a table from levels 15 to 20, the number is 6 (20 - 15 + 1). if it's too big, the bottom border of the table doesn't get drawn right on some browsers.

Hope this helps, and sorry I didn't document this better in the template pages. --Lin Chiao Feng

You're welcome. I stumbled across a spreadsheet which I believe originated from Iakona - or so the link I followed said, and it certainly looks like his handiwork - and I'm using the data in there to update while I'm compiling tests at work.  :)

Right now I'm working through the Melee Damage sets. So, in order, the next few I should be tackling would be: Smashing Haymaker, Kinetic Combat, Focused Smite, Touch of Death, Crushing Impact, Mako's Bite.

• Noted. Will start rounding to the nearest 0.1.
• Just copying and pasting, but good to know what that's for.
• I figured that one out, but sometimes probably forget to update the number.

Was just about to ask: Do we have different templates for the headers on recipes that are obtained through Task Forces or missions from the one used for random drops?
