Property talk:Type

Todo
I have to fix all the pages that act as if this is a link. Surgo 01:28, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Since you have to strip out all of the page link stuff anyway, why not just set this back to a page type property so that the simple words are links when set as a property (and without all of the extra work and wiki-linking)? - TarkisFlux 02:09, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * There are lots of pages that use this and don't want them to be links :( Surgo 02:10, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I actually can't think of a page type that wouldn't benefit off hand, but I'll take your word for it. - TarkisFlux 02:15, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem is with a limitation with Semantic MediaWiki where I can't make the property text be different than the link...like, if I want to link to the page SRD:Construct Type but I want the property text to be Construct, the value of the property will still be SRD:Construct Type (see TestPage). I think I'll file a bug report and see if I can't get this changed. Surgo 02:21, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, so you're annoyed at the 'ignore linked page if it's just a redirect and instead pull redirected page name' behavior of the page property type. Gotcha, it was kinda bugging me on the spell school stuff as well, but I was content to ignore it. Still, we can set this stuff to string for now, get that resolved to our liking, and then swap it back. It's not like the cleanup is going to be any different. - TarkisFlux 02:31, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Alternate solution for you - We leave this as a page type, and on the Undead page (just as an example) we treat is as a disambiguity page with links to the SRD description, SRD creatures with that type, and homebrew creatures with that type. And then do the same thing with all of the types or schools or whatever where we have a short name redirected to an SRD entry that may or may not be what the user is looking for. I'm not sure I like the idea, but figured I'd toss it out. - TarkisFlux 02:38, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * That only works for some stuff though -- I really want to fix this problem universally, and ASAP. Surgo 02:55, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

For Now, a String
There's a fix here that involves submitting code to Semantic MediaWiki, and I plan on doing just that, but right now a lot of pages are looking really funky because this was type "page", so for now it'll be a string. Surgo 21:02, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
