:::Unfortunately Daranios, only Surgo has access to make interwiki changes at this time. It requires direct server access to update SQL tables, and only he has the keys to that at present. There is an [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki extension] we can install to allow any admin to update them (which I just found after seeing your ping here) that I've asked Surgo to install, but he's in the middle of a move and probably won't be able to get to it for a month. Once that's in though, it should be pretty easy for any of us to set up interwiki links. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 18:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Ah, all right. So I will just act as if the short-cuts existed, looking forward to some time in the future when this will be put into practice. Thanks! [[User:Daranios|Daranios]] 11:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
==Multi-Problems==
Hey Havvy, Major probs here.
1. How can i create Psionic Constructs (Expanded Psionic Handbook) without having to go overboard with the Psion-Killer in the back of the psionics book? I want something that is reasonable to create at lvl 6-9.
2. What are some realistic ways to kill 24 Kobolds, 1 kobold Champion, and a Basilisk who has sunglasses over his eyes to keep his Gaze in check, as well as unknown amounts of kobolds inside a cave Warren? My group consists of all lvl 4's: Scout, Cleric, Fighter, Sorcerer, Wizard, Rouge (at lvl 5 a Vampire Rouge), and a Druid with a Wolf companion. Keep in mind we have to pass a CR 4 Old Fort to get there that is filled with Hob Goblins, Bugbears, Ballistae, and a Baby Blue Dragon. We went around it last time but had some Hob Gobs harrass us all night long, got one and turned him in on charges of attempted murder.

:I'm the wrong person to go to for constructs. I detest them personally. As far as the cave of kobolds, if you can communicate with them, diplomacy to get them to attack the goblin fort and then kill them when they are finished is probably the easiest way, though probably evil. Having the right arsenal of spells against low level creatures such as color spray and glitterdust help. The druid should probably prepare a couple entangles and the rogue and fighter should focus on taking out the kobold champion first. If you can't get past the fort without finishing off everything there, then finish off everything there. Sounds like a day of experience gain if done right. Just make sure that whomever has the proper knowledge checks (arcana, engineering, local for hobgoblins I think) make them, and prepare spells that you have to target their weaknesses. Whatever you do, avoid taking on all 24 kobolds simultaneously. They will get an average of one critical hit per round. Any area debuffs are extremely potent against this number of enemies. Distractions can also help. If you can get half of the kobolds away from the area, you can do a lot of damage while they are gone. If you can be sneaky, poison their food supply. Also evil though. Basically, there are many ways of getting through. Use the situation to your advantage. --[[User:Havvy|Havvy]] 05:43, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
==Fantasy and role-playing game==
Hello there! You've deleted the articles [[Fantasy]] and [[Role-playing game]], because they are Wikipedia copies and broader in scope than this wiki itself. However, lots of articles link to them, and D&D articles transported (and adapted) here from Wikipedia (e. g. because they may be in danger of deletion there) will have those links in the future. Having these red links is not nice, in my opinion. And a few people might also be interested in the information there.<br>
So I think the perfect solution would be to change each link into a link to the Wikipedia article. If you or someone could do this, or create a bot for it, that would be great. That is and will be a lot of work, though.<br>
The third-best solution would be to remove all the links. No information for those interested and also quite some work, now and in the future.<br>
The second-best solution would be to have the articles here, in my opinion.<br>
What do you think? [[User:Daranios|Daranios]] 18:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
:I was told that my usual means of mass text replacement is broken, so I have no means to do so. I don't think it is beneficial for any of us in the slightest if we contain wikipedia articles that are beyond the scope of the wiki, and anybody who understand what dnd-wiki is also understands what wikipedia is, hopefully. I could see having a DnD specific take on the terms though, which could very well link to the wikipedia articles. I couldn't imagine myself writing those articles though. --[[User:Havvy|Havvy]] 02:21, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
::In that case I see two small benefits in keeping the two articles here, at least as a starting point: No red links and those few people who want to follow the links get sensible information. What's the benefit of ''not'' having the articles? (Besides, there's another example which is partly comparable: Most author and company articles are also broader in scope than D&D. But they are important for D&D, so they are useful.) [[User:Daranios|Daranios]] 19:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
==Spell Links==
Why are you removing the spell domain links? They are quite helpful. For that matter, why were the class spell list links removed? --[[User:Franken Kesey|Franken Kesey]] 00:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
: They can (and should) be added automatically by the spell template. --[[User:Havvy|Havvy]] 02:32, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
==Ratings Update==
Following the recent wiki vote on ratings granularity and display, all old ratings can be updated to make use of "love / like / neutral / dislike / hate" instead of the old values. If you would like to update your ratings, you can find a list of them at [[:Category:Legacy Rating Havvy]]. When you update a rating, be sure to delete the "|OldRating=True" part. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 18:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
== Dead File Links ==
<Havvy >If you can think of any caveats for not going through all the pages in that category, and doing a regex replacement s/<nowiki>[[image:name|*]]</nowiki>//, put it on my user page. (And I'm not using Special:ReplaceText)
It might be best to run a rest on the page and see how many file links you find first. If one, remove it. If two or more, leave it for manual looking at. Else you potentially pick up live links, and I'd rather avoid that. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 07:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
