Email Confirmation

The email confirmation may be failing. I created an account on 2012.01.03 at 22:36. I have, yet, to receive an email confirmation request. --Rlyehable 04:10, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Creating the account on its own won't send the email. Did you add it to the email address field on the "My Preferences" page? If so, you should be able to request an additional confirmation through the same page. Make sure to check your spam/bulk mail folder as well, we've had those show up there a few times as well. If it's still not working after all that, let me know and I'll ping our server guy. - Tarkisflux Talk 04:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Appreciation

As someone just learning 5e, I appreciate what you're doing. One day I'll grok the system myself and start making 5e homebrew, one day. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 02:17, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

SRD5

I went ahead and migrated the top of the 5e Barbarian's class features to the other template that I linked before. It's a small change, but kind of an important one because...

Aside from consistent formatting and simple format updating, the other big reason for using templates that I had completely forgotten was the semantic annotations that they do behind the scenes (that I don't expect any user to ever do manually, because annoying). And templates make it easy to add additional annotating to classes that already use the template because the data is already passed into something else. For 5e classes we're only tracking skills right now, but we could track hit die or saves or whatever really. The annotations that come out of that can be added to nav pages (see most of the 3.5e homebrew pages) or in custom searches (all classes with strength saves and perception). So I'd really prefer that they be used going forward.

And I'll support that use. I'm not around a whole lot these days, but I make time for people who want to do big structural things like this. So whatever I can do to help you with this project - explaining template stuff, updating things you'd like changed, adding options that I forgot to support, etc. - I'll find time to work in. Ping me on my talk page and let me know what you need.

I'm already planning on updating the class features template to auto-link the proficiencies and saves and whatever for things that I expect we'll start annotating. I'd like to remove the need to pass links in to fields that get annotated because the resulting link annotations are a bit weird and do weird search things. For those fields, you should be able to pass in plain text that gets converted to annotations and links automagically where appropriate. I just didn't do that when I wrote the templates because we didn't have plans to add the SRD5. I'll work that up in the next couple of days, and clean up whatever is using the template with links and is broken as a result. Should make class transferal a tiny bit easier. - Tarkisflux Talk 02:48, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
