Talk: Mr. Stradivarius


If you want to help out with templates, I'll point out that we have Wikia's slightly-modified version of Scribunto enabled here, but as apparently no one here is any good with Lua, the Module: namespace remains empty. We have some extremely large articles that can take a long time to render; I just made a dummy edit to Wedge Antilles that required about 40 seconds to re-render the page. Wikia created a while back to show this kind of data. If the templates responsible for this can be identified and Lua-fied to cut down on parsing time, that would be great. 02:29, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Great work so far. :) Regarding Module:Dialogue, currently it allows an unlimited number of lines. However, the previous wikicode version deliberately limited dialogue to a maximum of 10 lines, per Forum:CT:Quote length. This is one of quite a few "policies" that exist only as archived consensus track threads, so I'm not surprised that you weren't aware of it. Anyway, it would be appreciated if you would modify the module to limit dialogues to ten lines, and display an error if that is exceeded. Thanks. 07:09, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

This is a heads-up that the recent change to Template:Eras appears to have broken the functionality that sorts Legends articles into the Legends articles category, unless there's a big delay effect or something, or something important that I'm missing. Only 239 are left in that category, and I don't know what it is that's special about the ones that remain in there which weren't affected. The problem was first pointed out at Talk:Biala. Not sure yet if there are any other problems; Category:Canon articles appears to be unaffected, as are Category:Canon articles with Legends counterparts and Category:Legends articles with canon counterparts.

Hello, I noticed that there were quite a few errors in your recent conversion of Template:Cite_web. I switched it back to using the old version until the errors are fixed. The errors I noticed are as follows:

I went ahead and speedy deleted this template. For future reference, templates that are unused and unlikely to be used can be speedied here; just tag it with . You'll find that we use speedy deletion here a lot more liberally than Wikipedia; many things that require a deletion discussion there can be speedied here. :) 14:37, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Cite web


Hello, I noticed that there were quite a few errors in your recent conversion of Template:Cite_web. I switched it back to using the old version until the errors are fixed. The errors I noticed are as follows:

  • Fields first and last do not appear without the authors field being filled.
  • The "Archived from the original..." section fails to display.
  • The "Retrived on..." section fails to display.

When making changes to templates, please check some of the uses of the template both before and after making changes to ensure that no errors have been introduced. Thank you.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:57, December 5, 2014 (UTC)
