Null balance point

I fixed Template:Table Row to correctly deal with empty columns, so the None Assigned balance point isn't really needed if you don't want it. -Cedges 19:28, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Since you can't actually do searches for {null set} properties with semantic wiki (even by subtracting off all of the filled property sets), using an actual default that doesn't mean anything is useful for tracking purposes. I don't think we ever thought about it before, but it is useful in it's own way.

Thanks for tweaking that behavior though. It was annoying :-) - TarkisFlux 20:35, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Title Property

I added a title property. It really exists so that we can make the 3.5e Feats page list more than 500 feats and still be in alphabetical order, by executing the querry more than one time, each time restricting it to a different part of the alphabet by using constraints such as [[Title::<L]] and [[Title::>L]]. How long must we wait before every article has been updated with the new template so that the semantic index contains the titles? It would be slightly more inherently useful if it performed the equivalent of the pipe trick on the title, so that it could be used to find articles not only in a different namespaces but with different clarifications in parenthesis. -Cedges 03:00, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Ask and ye shall receive: Template:Pagedata. I'm not sure we actually want it in the author template or not, but it does what you were looking for (I mostly wrote it to see if I understood what Surgo was doing with his Pipetrick, and now I do). - TarkisFlux 00:48, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

URL Parameter

It looks like the URL parameter is busted, not making the display_name or author_name (whichever is shown) the link, but instead showing the whole URL in the author block. --Havvy Dec. 6th, 2010

This should be resolved as of yesterday. - Tarkisflux 00:51, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
