I think that this was being discussed a little on the forum but I don't feel like searching for the right thread.  I'm not sure I think your new in text citation format is better than the old way.  For one I have gotten used to typing the old one out from habit, and for two the new way looks like a jumble of letters that mean nothing to me.  I can't argue against you using it when making new references, but it just makes everything confusing if you start going back and altering the citations already in the page, at least until we can all conclusively agree on a format.

Yes it does not look very nice (especially with image present). But it is a begin. I think your version without border and background is the best. But I think it looks better without including the book title I think. Maybe we should ask some of the others. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 09:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

References Format

I think that this was being discussed a little on the forum but I don't feel like searching for the right thread. I'm not sure I think your new in text citation format is better than the old way. For one I have gotten used to typing the old one out from habit, and for two the new way looks like a jumble of letters that mean nothing to me. I can't argue against you using it when making new references, but it just makes everything confusing if you start going back and altering the citations already in the page, at least until we can all conclusively agree on a format. kissed.by.fire 14:41, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Collapsible tables

Yes it does not look very nice (especially with image present). But it is a begin. I think your version without border and background is the best. But I think it looks better without including the book title I think. Maybe we should ask some of the others. Scafloc 09:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Category:Houses without COA

Hi Mordin999, is category already complete? If not there may be a other way to get a list of houses without COA. Usually the only picture on House article is the COA. So we could make a custom made select that selects from the tables that the wiki software uses all entries (articles) that being House and for which there is no entry in the table that stores the links between article and image. It would require to get some knowledge about the tables and for Ran to store the query so it can be called by users. But in the end I think it is less time intensive then going through all house articles one by one. I have some documentation about the tables at home but at this moment I am actually on holiday so it will have to wait a few weeks. Cheers,Scafloc 08:11, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

So the category is made with the help of the NobleHouse template. Pretty cool! I thought that you were planning on going through all the Noble Houses and adding them one by one. That is why I suggested the query as an alternative solution. But this (using the template) is way better; nice work. Scafloc 09:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Copying from Wikipedia

Mordin999, we are allowed to use the material from wikipedia provided that we acknowledge the use and link to the original (=wikipedia) page. To do that I made Template:EnWP. The only parameter that it needs is the name of the wikipedia article for instance "Template:Infobox". For more information see AWOIAF:Copying_from_Wikipedia and this discussion.

sure, if you are referring to my "shameless copy pasting" of the infobox, it's and other are still WIP and will be stamped with the documentation and licencing information once i am done with code, otherwise you'll have to point me in the right direction. cheers Mor 18:57, 18 August 2011 (CDT)
